Everyone, I do appreciate all the commnents on my fireplace question both pro and con. I went to the fireplace store the other day and started looking into wood stoves for my cabin. I was shocked by the price but they do have a used Vermont Castings encore stove w/catalytic in Hunter Green in very good condition for $1,200. Is that price far? Now for the stove pipe and chimney. I will have a very simple installation, approx. 9' of stove pipe, then 4' of attic space and I'm outside. Do I have to buy the stove pipe and chimney from the V.Castings dealer?????
I appreicate any help... Thanks Dave |

You dont have to buy the pipe from the dealer, but its pretty pricey stuff. Bottem line, you need class A chimney reguardless of brand, that is rated for 2100*. Metal fab brand chimney is readily avalible, and is usually the least expensive brand. If you dont mind the outside of the double wall pipe being galvenized then you will save some money there. People will debate the cat vs non cat to the death. Cats are fine, non cats typically require less maintence. That price seems good. If you want a non cat option thats affordable, you can look at the quadrafire 3100 Millenium. Its a steel stove, and should be about the same price new as the VC. Im sorry your other thread got out of hand, this one should not be so hotly debated. |

Thanks mountainguy, can you give me a bit more info. on the maintenance of a Cat stove. Also, do you have any suggestions on where to go to buy the black pipe and then the chimney set up, I'm fine with gal. instead of S Steel.... |

on the interior pipe, you need to make a choice of using single wall or double wall. Single wall has a 18" clearance, double wall black has a 6 inch clearance. Double wall will draft better if you have a long interior run. I would check local co op and what not for pipe first. Ask for class a chimney with a galvanized exterior. Some big box stores sell it as well, just dont expect to get any advice or help from HD. Check here or hearth.com before you get into system design. Minumum parts you will need for your class a chimney woud be: Support box (for either a catherdral celing or flat celing) Adapter for the support box to hook it to the connector pipe in the room X amount of class a (dont forget the 10/2/3 rule) Roof flashing, needs to be the same brand as the chimney. Storm collar Cap Typical operation of a catalytic stove. If you want a serious expert on cat stoves and VC stoves, go talk to elk over at heartnet. I most familer with non cat stoves. He also has one for sale, if he is in your area, it might be worth looking at. I think he has it up for $750 in the for sale area . |
We have a Woodstock Soapstone Stove with a catalytic combustor (Fireview). We've had it for nearly 16 years now, and we've changed the combustor 2-3 times (I honestly can't remember. EASY, takes under 10 minutes). Routine maintenance is key, and it's easy, too. Truly, the operation of the stove is really simple. You start the fire and allow the stove to get to temperature (300 degrees on our stove top thermometer) and then you close the door, adjust the door damper, and engage the combustor. That's it. It's important to remember that cat. combustors are easily destroyed by "dirty" wood. You can't use your stove as a disposal and expect the combustor to survive the abuse. No painted wood, be careful of certain combustibles (wierd "paper", plastics, etc.), DON'T burn them, ever. Obviously, you will get your best results burning seasoned hardwood (but you knew that!). I have linked the Woodstock site below. There is much very useful information included in their site. Take some time to read through it, it's a good site. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Info. on cat. stoves
We have the Quadrafire 3100 that mountainstoveguy speaks of. Great stove. I've used it as my primary source of heat for 4 years. Don't think I'll ever wear it out. Heats our 1800 sq. ft. house nicely. I would definitely recommend that you make sure the chimney pipe is up to snuff. How big is your cabin? Andy |

Thanks Chel and 413, I really appreciate the advise, I'm new to this game. My cabin is about 1250 s.f. I would like to use this as my only heat but my wife is insisting on a furnace as well. I'll probably will put the furnace in also. One of the reasons we like this stove (the used VC) is because it's green... I know, I know but our roof is green so it will fit nicely in the cabin. I will be install thing whole thing.... what do you mean by up to snuff on the pipe. I plan on using double wall stove pipe (so I can get closer to the wall) and plan on going with class A galv. chimney pipe for the remainder. It looks like I will be able to run straight up through the roof. I don't plan on buying the stove pipe or chimney from the fireplace shop because they only sell S.S. chimney and I don't need that. I plan to get the model # of the unit soon so you guys can help me verify the year.... Thanks Dave |

On this day in 1973, President Richard Nixon's advisor, H.R. Haldeman, tells the president to put pressure on the head of the FBI to "stay the hell out of this [Watergate burglary investigation] business." In essence, Haldeman was telling Nixon to obstruct justice, which is one of the articles Congress threatened to impeach Nixon for in 1974.
In audio tapes of that day's conversation in the Oval Office, Haldeman tells Nixon that the press and FBI investigators have come close to linking the men who burglarized the Democratic National Committee headquarters in 1972, housed in the Watergate building, to the White House. They specifically mention funds diverted to the burglars, many of whom were Cuban, by members of Nixon's re-election committee.
Nixon tells Haldeman to tell the FBI that the funds in question were intended for the CIA and concocted a story about covert plans regarding communist Cuba. "Don t lie to them," said Nixon, "to the extent to say there's no involvement [on the part of the president] but just say this is sort of a comedy of errors, bizarre, without getting into it."
The tapes of the hour-and-a-half conversation between Nixon and Haldeman eventually brought the down the Nixon administration and led to his resignation in August 1974. They were considered the "smoking gun" which proved Nixon's role in obstructing justice during the Watergate investigation.

Lippincott designs new eBay identity
eBay's in-house designers have worked with US based consultancy Lippincott on branding which positions the company as a 'global online marketplace' rather than an 'auction-style listings' site.
The new identity marks the first redesign in the company's seventeen year history.
Lippincott senior partner Su Mathews says, 'We wanted to reflect the right amount of change in eBay's new logo. The design is inspired by today's vibrant marketplace and sleeker experiences.
'We leveraged the iconic colour arrangement and approachable form to reflect eBay's heritage and evolved it with a brighter blue and darker yellow, and a streamlined arrangement to create more visual harmony.'
The new brand and refreshed website will reflect 'a global online market place that offers a cleaner, more contemporary and consistent experience,' according to eBay.
eBay says, 'We retained core elements of our logo, including our iconic color palette. Our vibrant eBay colors and touching letters represent our connected and diverse eBay community.'
The brand has been positioned to reflect eBay's evolution from selling second hand, vintage and specialist items to also selling new items.
'eBay will become more personalised, tailored to the way you want to shop. We will be local and global,' according to eBay which wants to 'create better ways to buy and sell.' To this end the new branding 'reflects a dynamic future' eBay says.
Readers' comments (20)
How Much did ebay pay Lippincott to re-design their logo?
I personally think it's much better... from PLAY SCHOOL > to > DESIGN SCHOOL :)
I hear and understand what the man says, but really and truly what they've done is create a safer, more corporate and less interesting identity...which probably is a fair reflection of the business itself
A new brand identity for ebay was never going to be a branding revelation, but this really is an incredibly boring solution. Where is the message to convey how exciting using ebay could be? Where is the allusion to the company's dominance in digital shopping? Indeed, where are any of ebay's attributes within this piece of work?
In my opinion this is an opportunity lost for ebay to show itself as a company proud of what it does and one that is at the figurehead of a rapidly changing shopping environment.I prefer the old identity. Its lost its individuality :(
So everyone calls it eBay and the identity is ebay -that's annoying. Old logo had more energy...
So easy to criticise,but anyone here read the design brief? If this new logo persuades millions of shoppers that it's safe to spend millions of dollars on ebay, then it's worth a cut of those millions. End of story.
Typically American! - boring, corporate and safe!
I'd like to see the logos which got away.
I think the type looks awkward where it just kisses the next letter, if they were going to be touching surely they could do so in a more natural, fluid way?
If first year design students had presented this logo any lecturer or experienced designer would tell them to 'go away and come back with something more memorable/interesting/original...Am I missing something? All that has been done is take away the very, very, very well known and instantly recognisable logo and replace it with 4 bog standard letters........ Perhaps I don't understand art?!
yes it may be neater, but the website itself needs streamlining. its a better user experience now than when i first used it a few years ago, but still feels like its a drawn out process, escialoy when you want to list loads of items. it becomes a chore.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bear!
Facts about Bear
- Breed: Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bear's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Are you looking for a puppy to call your very own? Look no further than Bear! This little puppy is a husky/hound mix - purebred cute! He is about 8 weeks old and is ready to move on from his foster home to his forever home. Bear is just a baby, so like all young pups, he is going to require a lot of patience as he grows up and learns how to be a part of a family. If you are ready to make the commitment required when bringing a puppy into your home, complete an application at www.henricohumane.org.
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bear, a Richmond Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Husky/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

DMZ iptables and secure http
This was working for a long time and still works. I keep my e-mail/web server in the DMZ. The linux routers (R1 and R2) use iptables firewall rules with R2 using NAT for the DMZ and internal network. R1 has dnsmasq and squid as well as openvpn running. It receives ports forwarded from R2 for openvpn connections which also works fine.
Now, I'm trying to replace R2 with a Netgear DGN2000 router doing the same thing. This works fine except when trying to use secure web sites. So I can browse from the internal sites but if I try to login to say yahoo mail then nothing happens. If I turn off squid and the redirection to the squid port in the firewall rules on R1 then nothing works. Even with ip_forward set to true. If any one can make some suggestions then please do so. I really want to solve this puzzle.

Located in the extreme northeast corner of the state, Jackson County is home to Russell Cave, an important archaeological site that contains one of the most complete records of prehistoric culture in the southeast
United States. The city of Scottsboro was the site of the infamous trials of the Scottsboro Boys. It also boasts the Unclaimed Baggage Center, a huge outlet store for baggage left on airplanes worldwide. The county is governed by an elected five-member commission
and includes 13 incorporated communities.
· Founding Date: December 13, 1819
· Area: 1,069 square miles
· Population: 53,227 (2010 Census)
· Major Waterways: Tennessee River
· Major Highways: U.S. 72
· County Seat: Scottsboro
· Largest City: Scottsboro
Jackson County was created by the Alabama State Legislature on December 13, 1819, from land acquired from the Cherokee Indians. The original county consisted of nearly twice its current area, but in 1821, it was cut in half in the creation of Decatur
County, which was soon abolished. Some of its former territory was divided between Jackson and Madison counties, but most of the land went to the newly created Marshall County. Jackson County was named in honor of Gen. Andrew Jackson, who was visiting Huntsville and the Alabama General Assembly when the county was established. Most of the earliest settlers came to Jackson County from
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, although some came from as far away as North Carolina and Virginia. Some of the earliest
settlements and towns included Sauta Cave, Bellefonte, Bridgeport, Stevenson, and Scottsboro. During the Civil War, Jackson County was the site of much fighting between Union and Confederate troops. The courthouse and several homes in Bellefonte were burned by Union troops,
and combat took place at the Battle of Bridgeport and the Scottsboro Skirmish. Scottsboro gained national media attention
during the 1930s when nine African American men, known popularly as the Scottsboro Boys, were wrongfully accused and convicted
of raping two white women. In 1934, the federal government established Skyline Farms, one of several experimental cooperative farms, in Jackson County.
When Jackson County was created in 1819, Sauta Cave was established as the temporary seat of justice, but shortly thereafter it was moved to the village of Sauta located near Birdsong Spring. In 1828, county records were moved into the new brick, two story courthouse in Bellefonte which served as the county seat for 40 years. In 1859, a county election was held to determine whether a new court house should be more centrally located in Stevenson or Scottsboro. Stevenson was chosen but the Civil War nullified this action, and the matter was not settled until 1868. On September 5, 1868, the Commissioners Court met in Bellefonte and voted to remove the county seat from Bellefonte to Scottsboro, named for its founder Robert T. Scott, a native of North Carolina. In November 1868, county records were moved from Bellefonte to a small brick house in Scottsboro rented by Probate Judge David Tate. (In the 1980s this "little brick" was moved to the grounds of the Scottsboro-Jackson County Heritage Center, located one block from the courthouse square.) The new courthouse was completed in 1870 at a cost of $25,000 and served the county until 1912 when the county commissioners began dismantling its walls. The new building was inspected and accepted in January 1913 and cost the county $44,503.03. Forty-one years later, a mass renovation was completed in 1954. In 1967 new office additions were added to the courthouse. The four small glass panes in the north door transom are the only components remaining in continuous use since the original building was constructed in Scottsboro in 1870.
On April 27, 2011, a massive storm, causing numerous powerful tornadoes, struck the southeastern United States. More than
250 people were killed in Alabama, including eight people in Jackson County communities of Pisgah (3), Higdon (1), Flat Rock (3), and Bridgeport (1).
Major Cities and Demographics
According to the 2010 Census, the population was 53,227. Of that total, 91 percent of respondents identified themselves as
white, 3.3 percent as African American, 2.6 percent as two or more races, 2.5 percent as Hispanic, 1.4 percent as Native American,
and 0.3 percent as Asian. The median household income was $34,117, compared with $40,547 for the state as a whole, and the
per capita income was $18,727, compared with $22,732 for the state as a whole. The county seat of Jackson County, Scottsboro,
had a population of 14,770. Other significant population centers include Bridgeport and Stevenson.
Like much of Alabama, farming was the prevailing occupation in Jackson County until the early twentieth century. The county's rugged terrain prevented
large-scale agriculture, but the small farms in the valleys were relatively productive. Tobacco, livestock, wool, sorghum,
and honey were some of the most important cash crops. Although there is an abundance of iron ore and coal in Jackson County, little mining has ever taken place. Some marble has been quarried in Jackson County, although not as much as in Talladega. Large-scale industry began to develop in the first quarter of the twentieth century, and by the 1950s and 1960s, with the
benefits of hydroelectric power, industry had surpassed agriculture as the major economic force in the county.
The workforce in present-day Jackson County is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Manufacturing (29.6 percent)
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (17.2 percent)
· Retail trade (12.0 percent)
· Construction (7.6 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing, and utilities (7.2 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (4.9 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (4.3 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (4.3 percent)
· Finance and insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (4.0 percent)
· Public administration (3.4 percent)
· Wholesale trade (2.7 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (2.1 percent)
· Information (0.7 percent)
The Jackson County School System employs approximately 775 teachers and administrators who serve more than 6,000 students
in 19 primary and secondary schools. Scottsboro City Schools employ almost 400 teachers and administrators in six primary
and secondary schools, serving more than 2,700 students. There are no colleges or universities in Jackson County.
Comprising more than 1,000 square miles, Jackson County is located in the northeastern corner of the state. The county is
part of the Cumberland Plateau physiographic section and sits in the southern range of the Appalachian Mountains. The varied terrain of Jackson County includes mountains and
caves as well as limestone valleys and uplands covered with oak and pine forests. A section of the Warrior Coal Field is
located in Jackson County. The county is bordered to the north by the state of Tennessee, to the east by the state of Georgia,
to the southeast by DeKalb County, to the southwest by Marshall County, and to the west by Madison County.
Portions of the Tennessee River flow throughout Jackson County. The county is drained by both the Guntersville Lake and the Wheeler Lake sections of the river. Paint Rock River, one of the most significant tributaries of the Tennessee River, begins in the northwestern part of Jackson County. The river and its tributaries offer scenic views as well as recreational and economic opportunities for visitors and residents of Jackson County.
U.S. Highway 72 serves as Jackson County's main transportation route, running southwest-northeast. It connects the county
to the Huntsville metropolitan area and to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Jackson County has two public airports: Scottsboro Municipal Airport in Scottsboro and Stevenson-Bridgeport Municipal Airport in Doran Cove.
Events and Places of Interest
There are several opportunities for recreation in Jackson County. One of the most popular attractions in the county is Russell
Cave National Monument, just west of Bridgeport. Evidence of human habitation in the cave dates back more than 10,000 years,
and is one of the most complete records of prehistoric culture in the southeastern United States. The cave sits at the end
of a 12-mile hiking trail and is surrounded by 310 acres of dense woodlands. The visitor's center houses a museum containing
Native American artifacts and offers several audiovisual presentations. A ranger-led tour takes visitors to the cave, where
they can learn about how occupants fed, clothed, and protected themselves. Each spring, the site serves as the venue for the
Russell Cave Native American Festival, which features educational demonstrations about historic Native American culture.
Part of Guntersville Lake lies within Jackson County. The 69,000-acre lake is located on the southernmost point of the Tennessee River and is surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains. Visitors to the lake can camp, hike, boat, and fish. Goose Pond Colony in Scottsboro is a 360-acre recreational complex also located on the Tennessee River. The site includes lakefront cottages, camping and RV sites, and fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities. The site also boasts a civic center and amphitheatre as well as two 18-hole golf courses. The North Alabama Birding Trail crosses Jackson County as well. Site 44 of the trail is located at Russell Cave, and more than 115 species of birds have been recorded along its length. Visitors can also hike to the Walls of Jericho, a unique natural amphitheater at the headwaters of the Paint Rock River.
In addition to a variety of outdoor recreational activities and sites, Jackson County is home to a number of historical attractions. The Scottsboro-Jackson Heritage Center is housed in an 1881 Greek Revival mansion. The center includes a museum with exhibits on Native Americans and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The 1868 Jackson County Courthouse sits behind the mansion, and the nearby Sage Town pioneer village features a collection of log structures, including a cabin, schoolhouse, barn, and blacksmith shop. Stevenson is home to the Stevenson Railroad Depot Museum. The railroad junction played an important role during the Civil War as a Union stronghold and is today listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum includes exhibits of Native American artifacts and Civil War memorabilia.
Each June, the Stevenson Depot Days celebration commemorates the city's historic past with parades, music, food, and games.
Jackson County also offers visitors a wealth of historic districts in Stevenson, Scottsboro, and Bridgeport. Each March, Bridgeport
hosts the Siege of Bridgeport, the largest Civil War reenactment in Alabama, complete with cavalry charges and cannon firings.

Just in case you didn't read the prompt Wedding Paper Divas shows, these do require the additional postage just because they are square size. $0.70 stamps required."
"I ordered invitations for my wedding. We were very impressed with the invitations and response cards. We received multiple compliments on how "beautiful" the invitations were. The standard paper used is still a nice thickness and the little extra for the gold tone envelopes was money well spent. They arrived a day early. The entire process was effortless and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
"I was so happy with my invite. I was not thrilled with the wording on the sample card and it was able to be changed with no problems. I contacted customer service twice to ask questions before I ordered and eveyone was always polite and answered my questions thoroughly"
"I absolutely love the design of this invite and they look even better in person. My fiancé also commented how great they looked."
"This card is amazing in the blue and gold option, which I purchased. I used it for my indian engagement ceremony invitations, and it worked perfectly as I could personalize the different text fields to use the language and fonts I preferred. When I couldn't change something to see its look, I used the online chat to get assistance from a rep. I also picked the pearl finish which made it subtly shiny and gorgeous! So happy how it turned out :)"

WEll, this is what I woke up to this morning. After a huge amount of rain on top of frozen ground temperatures are now supposed to drop dramatically, no doubt turning this into a skating ring.
Judging by that bench sinking like the Titanic, this is about 3 inches of water. The front part from that collapsed grass to the stick in the front is perennial beds and bulbs, including *gulp* my imperial lilies who just hate getting their bulbs wet. So, what are the odds of this coming through okay?
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Chris If the ground is truly frozen, you should be okay. But my guess is that with the repeated freeze-thaw cycles we've had this winter, there will be damage. That's the way it goes with gardening. Some years, everything sails through. Other years, the elements and the gardening gods are frowning on us. If the plants don't make it, think of it as a chance to acquire some more. All that room. |

Hosting a Rare Disease Day event in your local school is a great way to commemorate the day and raise awareness in your community. Below are some suggestions for all school-age students.
High School Curriculum Project
A curriculum supplement on rare diseases for high school biology classes has been developed by a genetic counseling master's degree student in collaboration with NORD. This curriculum contains background information for teachers and creative, flexible classroom activities to promote active learning. The activities focus on advancing scientific understanding of rare disorders; promoting compassion, empathy and respect for people with different abilities; developing critical thinking skills; and preparing students to make informed decisions as citizens. Read the Rare Disease Curriculum – Introduction.
If you would like to access the full curriculum, please fill out this form and it will be emailed to you.
Please share your thoughts on our curriculum by filling out this feedback form.
Middle School Rare Disease Curriculum
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has created a curriculum supplement for Rare Diseases and Scientific Inquiry targeted at grades 6-8. According to the NIH website, students explore how scientists use inquiry to research rare diseases and treatments and to further understand the workings of the human body. The supplement contains two weeks of lessons that are easily integrated into the curriculum and are aligned to national and state standards. You can learn more from NIH's website.
Other In-School Activity Ideas:
- Have an assembly about Rare Disease Day. Ask NORD if there is an organization in your area that might be able to provide a speaker.
- Provide each student with an index card with the name of a rare disease. Have the student research the disease and write a brief description on it on the card. Display all the cards in a central location such as the school library.
- Ask students if they know anyone living with a rare disease and, if so, to write a paragraph about how the rare disease affects that person's life. Make a scrapbook with all the stories.
- Download the Rare Disease Day "hand" logo from NORD's website. Have young children color it and explain that this symbol is being used all around the world for Rare Disease Day.
- Hand out printable coloring pages located on the Press Kit and Resources page of the Rare Disease Day website.
- Invite a local pediatrician or other physician, or a nurse, with knowledge of rare diseases to speak.
- During daily announcements, say a quote or short statement to remind the students of Rare Disease Day
- Post information on bulletin boards
- Have a Student Information Table at lunch
- Hand out beads in a school assembly, and give 1 of every 10 students a bead of a different color to represent the 1 in 10 Americans with rare diseases

At Home in the Sky
Theory's Andrew Rosen and designer Jenny Dyer's 49th floor duplex
By Kate Betts
The staircase was only the beginning."I was going nowhere interior-wise," Rosen jokes. "I had two Vladimir Kagan chairs in the bedroom, and the suede wall. Jenny really softened everything up." Rosen, who had lived at various addresses in the neighborhood, wanted to stay close to Central Park. "But we're not traditional," he says with a laugh. "We're not Park Avenue people."
Rosen's less-than-conventional taste is also reflected in his photography collection, which includes a series of huge Peter Beard elephant images lining the entry walls. These are matched in scale—if not ferocity—by an oversize Jerry Schatzberg portrait of Bob Dylan in the living area and a Jack Pierson seascape rising up alongside the staircase. Rosen now has his eye on the purchase of a set of Yul Brynner photographs—one is of Frank Sinatra—which speaks to his penchant for the Rat Pack era, as does a pair of low-slung '70s sofas that Dyer rescued from the Palm Springs home of Rosen's mother and recovered in soft cream leather. "I was always inspired by Palm Springs in the '60s and '70s—it was such a stylish time," says Rosen.
If the first floor is dedicated to elephants and the suave style of the Rat Pack, the second floor is all about horses. Rosen and Dyer commissioned a series of horse photographs from Michael Eastman, which hangs in the upstairs hallway. They complement Peter Beard's elephants downstairs, but they also reflect Rosen's lifelong passion for horse racing and breeding. His father, Carl Rosen, was a famous breeder whose racehorse Chief's Crown won the first Breeders' Cup ever run, in 1984. Rosen now has his own stable of horses, including one named Theyskens' Theory.

It was a family outing for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the premiere of her new film, "In the Land of Blood and Honey."The couple were joined by Brad's parents, Bill and Jane Pitt, to celebrate her directorial debut.Angelina unsurprisingly wore black, while her 47-year-old beau looked super sharp in his Tom Ford suit. For someone nearing 50, we have to say Brad still looks really, really good. Thankfully he's not sporting that scraggy beard he had all last year.Check out all the photos, and see the couple that gave birth to the hotness that is Brad Pitt, below:While Bill and Jane may not technically be Angelina's in-laws (yet), the family seems to get along!

I have a New Years Resolution for all haters of Jolie-Pitt...LEAVE THEM ALONE. They have adopted children, natural children, a loving relationship and have been together longer than Pitt and Anniston were married. I get nauseated reading all the trash and comparisons to Jolie and Anniston. Have I missed something......are these people first ever to get a divorce? It is childish and mean spirited. It takes two to make a relationship fail......and who cares after all these years. Just grow up.

I voted for Beauty and the Beast. Overall, it was the best production that I saw. The Lion King suffered from a poor Young Simba the day we went and it almost ruined the first act. Never got to see Aida, but I did enjoy the soundtrack. One The Record while enjoyable, is a musical revue...not a real Broadway production IMO.
Nice poll!

Scouring SoundCloud for gems is the modern equivalent to crate digging, and yet so few are really doing it so that when we do it ourselves, the gems pop up easily. The latest is Fybe:One's remix of Sina.'s "All Alone." A future-minded house and garage number with the pops and clicks of a Lindsay Lowend track and a low-end like that of that quality bristol bass, Fybe:one's remix is a doozy.

I have a house that I swear was designed and built by an idiot. It is now 22 years old and literally falling apart at the seams and everywhere else. The question/problem I have today that I can't figure out is this. The house is build on a cement slab, the slab extends out from the foundation on two sides (side and back of house) and is level with the foundation. This means that the sill of the house is sitting at the same level as the "outside" slab so when it rains the water runs down the house, hits the slab and rolls under the sill and rots out the sill, the siding, and the trim that have all been installed down to the slab. I hope this is understandable I have added pictures below. Now I have removed the rotting trim, siding, etc and can see rot of the sill board happening. What can I do BEFORE I replace the siding and trim to keep water from running under the siding and trim and rotting it AGAIN and further rotting out the sill board, etc? Any idea without just demolishing this whole stinking house? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It appears in the picture the bottom plate sits 1&1/2 inche higher than exterior slab. If so,flash the plate with uv resistant moisture proof material such as epdm roofing material , stop the siding before it toutches slab to prevent water wicking. If indeed the interior slab and exterior slab are level with one another,that's a problem with no conventional solution. One goofy idea is nail one thickness of 2x4 atop bottom plate between studs. Put a masonary product like floor leveler or thin set at top of bottom plate then taper out 2 or 3 inches. Once again install flash on the false plates you added atop existing plate and extending to barly break on top of new masonary. Stop siding just short of new masonary and bottom edge of flash to discourage wicking. I would resist temptation to use caulk as a solution because that causes any water getting behind siding to stay much longer before air circulation can dry it out. |
Jack it up. pour a concrete curb 6-8 in high and put your new sill on top of that? Might be easier (and more satisfying) to tear the house down if this is typical of the issues you have. You need, one way or another, to get the water flowing away from the building. Something like EPDM up the side of the wall under the siding and extending over the concrete extension (sort of a mini-roof at ground level) to shed the water where it will drain away from the house. Or get someone with a concrete saw to cut the extra slab off and then re-grade so that you have proper clearance between the ground and the wood. |
Consider cutting a kerf in the concrete close to the framing right along the bottom plate of the wall. Use a diamond blade. Slide a strip of membrane (like EPDM or equivalent, 6"-8" wide or so) into the kerf and seal it in the kerf. Then run the membrane up the wall, on top of the sheathing but under the siding. |

Toyota Sequoia Maintenance and Repair
2002ts Posts: 2I tried to program a remote on a 2002 Sequoia I bought. I tried many times step 1 to step 7 but no response. After the on, lock, on and lock and pull key out. No response from the car. (no lock and unlock confirmation). Could this car has no keyless installed? I looked under the dash/stereo and see the wireless door lock receiver inside. Could this car has every components installed but mey be one wire unhook? When you want the option of keylee entry, the dealer will hook this wire and do the programming for you. Could any one tell me if this is toyota dealer secret?
2002ts Posts: 2I checked on my 2002 Sequoia and it has theft deter. system but no keyless remote. I checked on factory manual and located the wireless door lock control receiver is installed. I tried to program it but with no response from the car after step 7. (pull out the key after on,loco,on,lock). Any one know what toyota dealer secret? Since it has the hardware in the car, could it poosible the need to plug in one unhook wire? Someone who works at toyota dealer service deparrtment can tell me this. Please
kurtw Posts: 3Update on vibration. Toyota regional rep (central atlantic) came to dealership to see the truck and determined that rear diff was heating up and causing vibration - rear diff and rear bearings replaced and vibration and humming sound have been corrected. I know others have experienced this (and regional rep indicated at least 3 to 4 others in region) - thought I would pass the "fix" along, as dealer (and I would admit me as well) was convinced that the problem was either front end or transmission.

tlet Posts: 3I just bought a 2005 Sequoia LTD with the JBL E7006 Sound system w/NAV and rear seat DVD system. When the ignition key is in the ACC position, the system operates great. However, when I start the vehicle I get very little sound (when I turn the volume to MAX I get a small amount of audio). Also, the DVD system does not work when the vehicle is running (again it works fine when ignition is in ACC mode). The head unit does not seem to sense that a DVD is in the player because when I hit the "disc" button on the head unit, it says "no CD". When I do this when the ignition is on "ACC", it works fine. The dealer just ordered a new amp, but they can't assure me that is the problem. Any ideas???
greyson Posts: 6The dealer reset the computer that controls the transmission and they believed it helped. I drive the car and it has not helped. I think this is an issue with the new 5 speed transmission or the logic that controls it. I also think they know there is a problem but Toyota has not come up with a fix. This also happens on my daughter's 2005 SR5.

czechm8 Posts: 23There is one serpantine belt that drives all your accessories. I don't think there are any hard/fast rules about when to change it. Many repair places suggest you replace them every three years.
Inspect it to see if it is cracked, brittle or damaged. If it has never been replaced, then It may be a good idea to replace it before it breaks and leaves you stranded. Many Toyota truck owners I know replace their belts with Goodyear Gatorback belts. -

Toyota Sequoia rear hatch latch assembly replacement.
I recently found it necessary to replace the rear hatch door latch assembly. It had broken and there was no way to open the rear hatch from the inside or outside.
The 2001 Sequoia sold in 2000 had 89,000 miles and was maintained well. It looks like this plastic part that failed is just a weak design and most or all will fail at some point.
1. You can open the rear hatch from the outside if you can get the small piece of the broken lever out of the square hole that is on the right side of the handle grip area. You will need to use a strong piece of wire or a screwdriver type tool with a slight bend on the end. The lever that pulls on the cable that opens the latch is located above the opening in the handle grip area, accessed through the small square hole. Insert the tool that you made and fish around to find the cable lever, you will need to have the tool pointed up to find the lever. Once you find the lever pull down to pull the lever. Note: make sure that the hatch is unlocked or it won't open.
2. If you can't locate the lever or can't make it open from the outside you will need to do it from the inside of the vehicle. This isn't fun but it can be accomplished with a little sweat and a few choice words thrown in.
3. You can work from the outside of the truck at this point, roll the rear glass down to give you access. The plastic trim pieces on each side of the rear glass can de popped off by hand, they each have three plastic barbs that hold them on. Remove them carefully and pull straight out to remove them, this will give you access to the large rear piece of plastic trim that covers the inside of the rear door.
4. Remove the vinyl pull-strap that is located on the rear panel, use a #2 philips to do this. Now start to remove the large inside door panel. This panel has the rear glass inside rubber anti-rattle blade attached to the top of it. (If you were able to open the hatch door from the outside you can remove the inside panel by starting at the bottom of the panel and using a thin blade to lift the panel away from the door and then pop the plastic barbs loose, then lift it up and off of the door sheet-metal.) Starting at one corner, bend out and pull up on the panel where it is hooked over the top of the window opening sheet-metal. It takes a little force to get it started but be persistent, once it is started work towards the other end. Once it's loose at the top you can reach inside and pop loose the plastic barbs that retain the panel and remove it completely.
5. You now have access to the inside of the hatch. Remove the three round rubber grommets, this give you access to the latch lever that pulls on the release cable. Reach inside with a screwdriver push down on the lever and you will be able to release the latch on the hatch door and open it.
6. There is a white plastic cover covering the cable attachment point, remove it by pulling down and away from the assembly, it clips onto the assembly bracket and helps secure the cable to the lever attachment point. You can now release the cable from the assembly, remove the screws holding the license plate recess cover and the nut holding the key cylinder assembly and then remove the cable assembly bracket, (two nuts). Now you can remove the license plate recess panel and the broken latch lever assembly that is attached to it as a unit.
7. You can't just purchase the ($2.00) plastic piece that broke, Toyota will make you purchase the entire assembly, $63.00. By the way I shopped around and got three different estimates from Toyota Dealers, ranging from $280 to $360 to do this job. This first repair took me seven hours because I didn't know what I was doing, I spent 3 hours just attempting to open the hatch, I could do it now in about two hours. -
bsimpson Posts: 1RE: SEQUOIA 05
I have the same trouble with my 05 Seq. The rear window stoppped working. Funny thing about there not being a fuse for the rear slider. Coincidentally the rear wiper does not work too. Will be taking it into the deal for a warranty repair. I'll let you know what they find. -

czechm8 Posts: 23This is what you want:
camber: +0.25 degrees
caster: +2.75 degrees (4WD) or +3.00 degrees (2WD)
total toe: +0.08 degrees
These are still within Toyota's specs. Castor is the most critical and should be set at the top end of Toyota's range for the vehicle to track properly. Trust these numbers.....there's been a lot of discussion and real world experience behind them on another board. If you want more detail, I can post more. Just find a shop with high quality Hunter equipment and someone who knows what they are doing and they will have no problems setting to these specs. -
low_ball_88 Posts: 163I just came back from the dealer for an oil change and they forgot to put oil in and I drove for two miles before I realized the engine oil gauge did not move off of L. The car did not ceased but the dealer said he will have to take apart the engine to see what damage was done. I was very upset since the it is only a 02 4WD Limited with only 28K miles on it. I need some advise on how to handle this. I do not want to drive this vehicle again knowing that the engine will be rebuilt. I want them to replace it! Is this possible without going the legal route?
sifi_007 Posts: 10I am surprised that edmunds.com and consumerreports.org still ranks this as the best large SUV with all its problems. With all the problems I'm reading here, this oughtta be classified as a lemon. Am missing something here?
The first day I drove out of the dealership I found out the alignment problem, took it back the very next day and they said its fixed and its still a problem. Now I am feeling the vibration under my feet problem, it has only 600 miles on it. Whats next, the tires fall out? hmmm I wont be surprised. I am getting disappointed with this piece of junk that every review board thinks so highly of.
I was debating between the Sequoia and a GM vehicle, because of all the reviews I read I decided on the so called highly recommended SUV. Well, Im not very pleased with it right now. Im thinking of just trading it in for a Tahoe or an Armada. Wasted my money on this lemon!!! :mad: -
sifi_007 Posts: 10Also, I forgot to mention that wind noise is a problem also with my 4WD SR5. I just noticed it when I drove it on the freeway. The noise sounds like the A/C on full blast. I thought is was the A/C when I had it on, then I turned it off and the noise didn't go away. I would expec this from a ford or chevy but definitely not from a Toyota. Boy was I wrong.
toyota411 Posts: 1yes, thats a good idea. Go trade for a GM and then you will know what real "problems" are. Maybe its you? People who look at problems all day are going to find them or maybe think they are finding them! Its all a head game and you are one of the ones that get caught up in it. Before wasting your money on another suv look at what everyone is saying about that vehicle and go test drive and I am sure you will find those "problems" also.
raymur Posts: 29Why do I have the feeling that these people questioning Sequoia reliability, will be on the GM And Nissan Boards with complaints after they buy those vehicles. I've had a few issues with my Sequoia but nothing that would make me question it's reliability. It's one of the better built SUVs out there. As for the comment how can Consumer Reports rate the Sequoia as a recomended buy, it's because they have surveyed a broad cross section of owners, not the few malcontents that inhabit most of these boards.
kennynmd Posts: 424There are problems with every vehicle and there are dealeships that say everything is "normal". You are going to hear alot of problems with this board b/c thay's what this is for...a listing for prblems for owners. Maybe you just got a bad vehicle. It happens to all vehicles no matter how much you spend. A friend of mine bought a new Civic a couple of years ago and had alot of problems. my advice, take a look at the problems at the Tahoe or Expy boards and I'm sure there will be alot more compared to the problems here.
folsom33 Posts: 14sifi 007, all vehicles will have some problems. Its a bunch of metal connected by rubber, gaskets and other metal, the whole mess of material is suspossed to control multiple explosions over an extended period of time. It doesen't always work, BUT I feel on the whole that my choice of a seq was the best for me. Mine is an '01 limited with 95,000 miles on it and I can't remember when I had a repair other than regular maintenance, and of course changing the brakes every 15-20K miles.
Your road noise could be from a vent open. I do not like seq arrangement of heater/AC controls after 4 years of driving I still find myself just pushing buttons hoping for the right combination of heat/AC and vents. I guess I could read the directions but after this long I find it morally offensive to have to refer to the manual for advice.
Happy owner but always looking for something better..... -
joj Posts: 6My '02 Sequoia is at the dealership right now. I had trouble with the shifter as it was loose and becoming difficult to shift into park. The dealer says it is the "shifter bracket" and this is not covered under the 60,000 mile power train warranty. Does this sound right? I thought the shifter would be part of the transmission/drive train and would be under the power train warranty. I am at 58,000 miles, so no longer under 36,000 factory warranty. Anyone else have this problem?
Also, they said that there was a recall for the ball joint and they are going to do that repair. They said it was dangerous to drive it without the repair and that there had been two accidents. I have not received notice of such a recall, but I am getting the work done. They said when it starts causing problems there is a vibration in the steering. I was glancing thru and saw some vibration issues being discussed here, so maybe this would cover it.

I am already spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Myrtle is a cute 2 year old Beagle that is looking for her forever home. She's a super friendly girl that has your typical Beagle traits only quieter. Myrtle arrived from another facility so it's best to come down to Friendship and check her out to see if Myrtle is the girl for you.
If you have kids and/or another dog in your family and are interested in adopting a Friendship dog please bring them with you for a meet and greet. No appointment is necessary. Stop by anytime during regular business hours.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Myrtle, a Elyria Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Elyria, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Elyria.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elyria already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elyria breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elyria paves the way for another one to be saved.

En Español (Spanish Version)Hydrocephalus is too much fluid in the brain. The fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is a clear fluid that normally surrounds both the spinal cord and the brain. It is also in the ventricular system in the brain. With hydrocephalus the ventricles, or spaces, become enlarged.
You may be born with hydrocephalus, or it may develop after an injury or illness.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Hydrocephalus occurs when:
- A blockage doesn't allow CSF to drain properly
- Another condition, such as bleeding, inflammation, or infection, makes the brain unable to resorb fluid
- An excess of CSF is produced
These problems with the CSF may be caused by:
- Brain tumors
- Cancer
- Inflammation in the CSF
- Cysts in the brain
- Malformations of the central nervous system, such as:
- Brain injuries
- Infections of the brain or meninges, such as encephalitis or meningitis
- Problems with the blood vessels in the brain, such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations
- Bleeding into the brain or CSF space

One local community may soon become home to the first area street named in honor of the 44th President of the United States.
According to the agenda posted for tomorrow's Brookshire City Council meeting, council members will consider a request to change the name of FM 359 North to Obama Boulevard.
The name change request was submitted to the city by resident Eric Scott.
Also on tomorrow's agenda is a closed-door executive session to "deliberate concerning the performance of the duties of the chief of police."
Police Chief Brandal Jackson recently completed his first year as Brookshire's top cop. He was sworn into office last October following a lengthy – and frequently contentious – selection process.
Also listed for council consideration is the possibility of Brookshire joining the Waller County Emergency Services District, the possible amendment of the recently-approved 2011-2012 city budget and discussion of mandatory and non-mandatory training for city employees.
The council will also receive the 2011 October monthly activity report, as well as the October 2011 invoice payment report.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday evening in the council chambers of Brookshire City Hall.

WASHINGTON, July 28, 2013 — There is a story about an organ grinder's monkey in New York City in the 1940's. The monkey strayed away from his owner at night in the dead of winter. The temperatures were in the low teens, and the monkey could not find shelter or warmth anywhere. The animal finally came upon a store front that had an artificial fireplace with the lighting and ambiance that closely replicated a real fire.
The monkey stood by the window display with its hands stretched toward the faux hearth, and was found frozen stiff the following morning.
SEE RELATED: Is Barack Obama ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
If you consider yourself to be a religious person, are you concerned about how you come across to those who are outside of your faith? Are others repelled or attracted to your faith based on the life you live?
As with the organ grinder's monkey that saw a promise of relief in the midst of horrific frigid weather, many of our neighbors and co-workers are suffering through the bitter cold conditions of a bad marriage, catastrophic financial failures, substance abuse, dysfunctional relationships, or just overwhelmed with life itself.
These same friends and neighbors see us at a distance, and have heard us speak of how God can make a difference in our lives. But upon close examination, they often find that our religious façade is just a mirage.
Oh, wait…
SEE RELATED: Attacking Christianity on the failures of Christians
We speak of love and fidelity in marriage, yet we make sexual advances towards our coworkers. We proudly speak of how honesty is the best policy, yet, our tax accountant goes through our financial records and is shocked at the number of obviously inflated and fraudulent expenses we claim on our tax return.
Our business advertisements declare that we have made quality a top priority in workmanship of our products. Yet, we repeatedly cut corners and press our employees to meet production quotas no matter how much we have to sacrifice that very same quality.
If you are a professing Christian but are leading a double life, dust your Bible off and discover the words of Jesus. His stern words tell us that He would rather we go hog-wild after the world's lusts rather than pretend to be true believers, living a life back-and-forth on the fence:
SEE RELATED: Is God Dead in 2013?
"I know your works, that you are neither cold (insensitive to what I want) nor hot (with a fiery passion for Me and what I want): I would rather that you were cold OR hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will (try and test to see exactly where you are in your desire for Me and) vomit you out of My mouth." (Revelation 3:15,16)
Do you think that this passage is a biblical anomaly? Think again. Jesus demonstrated that He detests any example of false advertising – even in natural things.
Consider the following:
"when (Jesus and His disciples) were returning from Bethany, Jesus was hungry: And seeing a fig tree a distance away, having leaves (indicative of a fig tree that should be full of figs), Jesus came, and expected to find figs on the tree: and when Jesus came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto the tree, 'No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.' And Jesus' disciples heard it. … And in the morning, as they (returned and) passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance said to Jesus, 'Master, look and see, the fig tree on which you pronounced a curse is withered away'." (Mark 11:12-14, 20, 21)
How many persons that our Lord has allowed us to reach, have we shown a poor example of representing the God we say we are proud to serve? How many persons in need have been utterly disappointed to find that we are nothing more than hypocrites?
You may say: "Yes, but they should follow the LORD; I am just a servant." That is a cop out. If you are a professing Christian, your Bible says that YOUR pathetic, hypocritical, double-standard lifestyle causes the unbelieving world to reject YOUR God:
"You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do YOU commit adultery? You who hate idols, do YOU worship idols? You who make a boast of the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? For the Name of God is blasphemed among the unbelieving Gentiles through you, as it is written." (Romans 2:22-24)
How about it, friend? Does your walk match your talk? If not, it is a no small wonder that others are not interested in your religion. What does the bible say is the real deal when it comes to religion? Consider this:
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)
Visiting the fatherless and widows means to meet people at their point of need, as you are able. No more, no less. The other facet is to live according to what the Bible teaches, and thus, keep yourself unspotted from the world.
The key to it all is to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (and not our own strength).
Jesus said: "I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me, you can do nothing." (John 15:5)
Unspotted does not mean perfect. It means that our hearts are oriented and focused in a direction that is moving toward Him, and striving to live a life pleasing to Him. All of this is accomplished through the power of His Holy Spirit.
Give the world pure religion (as described in James 1:27). No one wants an adulterated imitation.

Can you have a miniture Bonsai tree in a terrarium and do well?
Theresa |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bonsais are supposedly outside trees, not indoor plants. I dwouldn't think they would do terribly well in a terrarium, but I guess that also depends on what kind of bonsai. Sam |
- Posted by NathanHurst VIC Aust (My Page) on Sun, Feb 6, 05 at 20:47
Of course you can grow a tree in a terrarium in a bonsai'd way. Of course you need to pick something that will look good, and will flourish in the tank. The same rules apply as for any bonsai. |
If this is an indoor terrarium, you will need to pick a tropical tree, and you will need to keep it in it's pot (or it will cease to be a bonsai). It would also be harder to prune, wire, etc. in a terrarium, unless you took that plant out do to this (another benefit to keeping it in it's pot). The medium should be very loose and gritty to avoid root rot. It is generally agreed that the best tropical tree for bonsai is Ficus. Go to the bonsai forum for more info, and try not to be intimidated by them. They can be a rather rough bunch (IME). |

Thank you. Theresa |

Figs are Ficus. |
Ive got that much...thanks nath..I was just adding my support... |
Hi Have been growing Bonsai ,correction ,have been dwarfing trees for many years but have only tried 3 specie in a terrarium. I've used compacted shagnum rather than soil so it's not really Bonsai but I do get very dwarf trees and find them MUCh easier to take care of.The 3 in the terrarium are growing hydroponicly with mixed results. The main problem is not nearly enough light and of course the terrarium is way to small. I'm also trying several specie of understory palms( I know .you can't Bonsai a palm lol) but you can certainly dwarf it . One specie that I'd highly recommend is Ficus benjamina. They are incedibly adaptable,and will endure all kinds of abuse.Unless you can find one already dwarfed you'll need to "train' the plant over a long period of time. Someday when i get my large terrarium going I'd like to try other types,.There are hundreds of tropical species that should adapt to this very well. I think the secret would be an understory ,lowland tropical specie that tends to stay small with no distinct wet,dry season needs. Probably have to start them from seed and "trin" them myself lol. May not work but would be fun to try!! Gary |
- Posted by jesse_horne (My Page) on Sat, Jun 17, 06 at 15:10
go with a bonsai ficus, as mentioned before they endure abuse well, depending on the spedies can give youre tank the aged look you are wanting |
- Posted by brendan_of_bonsai z4-5 AK (My Page) on Mon, Jun 19, 06 at 19:38
If you start a ficus from seed or buy a small ficus they often form a round bulb at the base, sortoflike a skiny onion siting above the soils surface, this is considered undesireable and unattractive by about 99% of bonsaists, mainly because no large tree that isn't a mutilated eyesore has this particular trunk formation, so intorder to deal with theis and get a good basal flair to your trunk the thing to do is to chop the bottom of that bulb shaped trunk off right about were it stops flairing outward, and treat it just like a cutting from there on, also the roots and crown you leave behind are likely to send up some new buds and this can be turned into a multitrunk bonsai in time or as a source for new trunks via airlayering, ficus, especialy F. benghalensis and other strangler figs lend themselves extremely well to air layering. Anyways you want to grow and train your plant outside of the terrarium, in as large a pot as posible, people see a small bonsai in a pot and often think that eventually that will become a big Bonsai but the truth is that once its in a pot it grows very little. Also, a true bonsai is the Tree and the Pot, thats litterally what the word means, you can however have Bonsai stock in your terrarium, I would recomend calling it as such if you talk to anyone you suspect to be into bonsai, if they know there stuff they will not resent you for desciding to misuse the word and if they do not they will still know what you mean and they may start useing the word on there own. With regards to soil condition you will need to have a well drained terrarium, a drainage hole in the bottom wouldn't be a bad idea as well as a sufficient amount of grit in the soil, Sphagnum moss grows roots really well, but tops tend to not do so well and after a few years the trees tend to have exausted themselves, leaving them less than attractive and volnurable to death. You also need to repot a bonsai fairly regularly, unless you have an ungodly large terrarium even a small tree (like a dwarf of some sort) will send out a root system biger than the entire soil content, choking out first your other plants that need soil, then itself, every year untill its grown to appropriate size and then every other year from then on is a good rule of thumb. Clip back all fo the long thick roots and try and leave as many thin fibrous roots near the crown as you can. Now, regarding the Bonsai forum being a nasty bunch, there is a reason for that, Bonsai is a subject were people think that they can do whatever they want and be successful, people think that they can plant there juniper in straight peat and that they can water every day and that they can keep everything indoors in there sunny east facing window and they will live, this is unfortunately not the truth, if people are not firm then a whole lot of newcomers fail, and then they do not come back to the forum as experiences bonsaists to spread information to others, and the forum dies out, the same thing happens with saltwater aquariums (my other passion) if you go to any of the big forums they are mean places, seemingly, Go check out Reef Central in both cases the less gentle (read as "meaner") the forum is the more sucessful they are at keeping followers, the people who cannot handle the truth cannot handle something as meticulus as Bonsai, its not difficult per say, you just cannot skip certain steps. |

I just moved into a house built in 1900 in a old New England town. While taking a break from the endless unpacking, I noticed that the trim around the doors and windows is not the same in all the rooms. I can understand why the kitchen has very plain trim, but the other rooms puzzle me.
Most of the rooms have very plain, basic trim--looks like 1x4s were used. But the dining room, the bathroom and the one back bedroom have somewhat nicer trim--it's still not at the very expensive, high end trim level, but it's definitely nicer than the other rooms. I'd expect the living room to have the nicer trim as well, but it doesn't. It doesn't even have the narrow crown molding that the rest of the house does, although I suspect that the plaster walls have been removed and drywall put up in the living room and maybe the crown was removed at that point. Heck, the kitchen has the same crown as the rest of the house. And most of the baseboards are just a slab of wood, maybe a 1x6? but the front hall and dining room have a bit of molding on top of that. I guess I'd just expect the more public rooms, like the front hall, living and dining rooms to have the higher level of trim, and the bedrooms and kitchen to have the plainer stuff. But there's also been remodeling in some of the rooms at various points--there are narrow oak floorboards in some rooms and wider pine boards in others. And I think they walled up a fireplace in the living room, if the chimney on the roof is any indication. Anyone have any ideas on why the varying trims? |

At a guess, without pictures, I'd say the original trim was removed. What style the house is MAY have had an impact on the trim style, but simple 1x stock by itself is a bit unusual to me. I wouldn't call my 1908 foursquare fancy, but even the kitchen has backbanding around all the trim to match the other main rooms, as does my pantry and bath--the only place which doesn't have the banding is the finished attic. Further, are you sure the dining room was originally used for that purpose? Pics would help a lot, both inside and outside. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Sep 14, 11 at 21:17
By 1900 I would expect pretty consistent trim at least throughout each floor of the house, with simplified trim perhaps in the kitchen. It does sound like the original was removed in some rooms. |
- Posted by old_house_j_i_m (My Page) on Tue, Sep 20, 11 at 21:11
could any of the rooms have been added or redesignated ? (a room that is a bedroom now might have been the parlor originally) |

Ornamental Pond Water Treatments
3 Item(s)
Grid List
Total Pond 8 Oz Pond Blue A20017
$6.00This gleaming blue water creates a picturesque pond but it's more than just a decorative extra; it is genuine protection for the ornamental fish that swim and grown under the surface! Did you know that mammals like raccoons and cats fish in garden ponds? Ornamental fish can also become victims of predatory birds like cranes and herons that can kill or injure the fish. They can also spread diseases and contaminate the water. Pond Blue colors the water a rich shade of blue that we can see through but birds and animals can't, so they are less likely to feed from your pond. The blue coloring also helps shield fish from harmful UV exposure that can adversely affect the health of your fish. It also enhances the scenery and protects your pond's healthy balance.
- Adds beauty to your pond
- Discourages predatory animals from entering your pond area
- Protects your ornamental fish
Total Pond Chlorine & Chloramine Remover A20011
$6.00A healthy vibrant pond begins with the water. It's important to treat your pond water the first time you fill it and each time you change the water. Use a water treatment that removes harmful toxins so a balanced environment can be established. Our Chlorine Remover is specially formulated for ponds and fountains. It instantly removes chlorine and chloramines and detoxifies heavy metals that are commonly found in tap water. We also recommend adding Chlorine Remover when you add new fish to the pond because it replenishes the natural coating and reduces stress that may occur when fish are introduced to a new environment.
- Removes chlorine and chloramines
- Detoxifies tap water
- Prepares pond water for new fish
Total Pond 16 Oz Pond Clarifier A20016
$6.00There are two kinds of water gardeners; those who sweat and struggle and still have cloudy water and those who relax and entertain around a sparkling clean and clear pond. The secret to trouble free water gardening can be found in a 16oz bottle. Our Water Clarifier solution draws sediment particles and dirt together until they are heavy enough to fall to the bottom of the pond of be processed through the filter. Our Water Clarifier is non-toxic and safe for ponds with ornamental fish.
- Quickly cleans cloudy water
- Removes small particles and dirt from the water's surface

Eva Herzigova is modeling Karl Lagerfeld's latest adventure in photography, and this time around the enterprise involves a calendar called "Girls on Film" which Lagerfeld is doing in collaboration with the Italian edition of Marie Claire.
The focus of this work is haute couture, as can be expected. '"It's an idea I love," said Lagerfeld. "We did the shoot in one night, from 8 in the evening until 8 in the morning."'
In the calendar, Herzigova plays a dozen different character in this shoot. "It's about how one girl can be every woman," declares the influential German haute couture designer.
We only have four images available right now. The others will be displayed as soon as they are released to the general public.
The exclusive calendar will be available on Dec 16.
