So here's the story:
I just moved into a room in a 3 bedroom house with 2 other guys. One is 40ish and one is 27. The 27 year old lives with his 3 year old daughter in a room across from me in the hall. That's fine and all, ya know, I like kids, I know they cry and whatnot, but on this first night I am sitting in my room and he is yelling at his daughter to "shut up", "shut the f*ck up" continually from 10:15 to 11pm, which it is now. Now, I'm not child psychologist, but this is clearly not a healthy way to treat your daughter. I have much less of a problem (though still a problem) with her crying, but when he starts yelling at her to shut the f*ck up, that makes it much more serious in my mind. I know the child will cry herself to sleep eventually, which is still irritating, but I dont know if there is much I can do about that. This clear form of child abuse on the other hand, I cannot tolerate. She's now yelling "I want my daddy!" and he's yelling "I dont care, go to sleep!" Wow.. So the question is: what the heck can I do about this? I know this is my first night here, but is there anything I can do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is one for which I would call CPS - a 3 yr old has no business being with someone who has no idea at all how to take care of her! Horrible! |
It's not just the yelling or the hour but the obvious lack of caring or any comprehension of her age. |

Is the guy actually her father? Children often say they want a parent when stressed, upset or hurt but they don't typically ask for "my daddy" or "my mommy" in the presence of the very parent they're asking for. Not saying a 3 year old would never do that, every child is different. But usually when worded "I want my ...." the person they want is not right there in front of them. No offense meant to you, but I'm uneasy with the living arrangements in general for a little girl, but that's just me. She's also at an age where she should be in her own room, not still sharing one with her dad. (Could that possibly be pressuring & stressing her father?) Is her mother completely out of the picture? As far as how she's being treated, I agree it's not good and applaud you for caring. She may well need your eyes, ears and voice on her behalf. Use prudence in rushing to judgment and calling Child Protective Services. Again, I'm not condoning his behavior, only suggesting there is the possibility it might not be the norm. Perhaps he knows it's not the best living arrangement for his daughter, wants to improve it but is feeling hindered so takes his frustration out on her, the very child he's trying to shelter. If he's coming from a place like that, your move in could have tripped the switch of a situation that was already weighing heavily on him. If he's indeed her father and this isn't common for him, hasty calls to CPS can be a parents' and child's worst nightmare, split families apart & ruin lives. On the other hand, they can be a lifeline to a child being mistreated. You sound like a very mature person. My suggestion is to continue to closely watch out for her and hope for her sake it was an isolated and atypical incident. If it appears to by typical, then the little girl needs some help and sounds like her dad does, too. |

Yes the man is her father. I suppose I should just wait to see if this is a repeating incident. I believe from what I was told that the mother is a drug addict and has been removed from both of their lives. He just moved out of his parents' house for the first time and seems to want to take care of his daughter and provide a better life for her by moving out on their own, but he is a full time student with no income other than financial aid and hence can't (or wont) find a job to make enough money to provide her with her own room. I agree that this is not the right place for a 3 year old to live. I had to move here because of the immediate necessity to find cheap housing, and I at 26 can put up with a lot, but a 3 year old girl WILL be permanently damaged if this situation continues. I am myself dealing with anger problems most likely learned from my verbally abusive father as I was growing up, and I hate to have a child with promise have to go through with the same latent issues I am going through. As for dealing with this.. What kind of advice on time frame and landlord contact would you suggest? If this happens a few more times in the next week should I contact the landlord? I certainly dont want to contact CPS on my own. I dont know how I would react if I knew someone in my house was taking steps to remove my daughter from me. I dont know what this guy is capable of, and he seems to have some sort of criminal history which I dont want to rear its ugly head. Let me know! Thanks a lot for the comments, I needed someone to listen. |
Have you spoken to the other roommate about the situation? He would be able to share insight as to whether or not this is a regular occurrence, etc. Good luck to you. |
You seem to be more worried about yourself with regard to the noise problem and the possible (tho' apparently unknown) criminal history of the father rather than the child's welfare. I wish you'd forward your address to one of us and let us take care of it for you - you've now really upset me (and who knows who else) by your not wanting to get involved and it's shameful in the extreme! I hope that someone does bother about you if you're in trouble some day, but they probably won't if they're anything like you. |
- Posted by mikefromearth (My Page) on Mon, Aug 30, 10 at 16:49
Yes Larke, you seem to have the whole situation figured out, dont you? Keep spouting your high and mighty criticisms of a situation you know nothing about expect what I have relayed to you. You are so quick to judge me for not wanting to get directly involved that you seem to forget I am the one doing something about this. Like I said, I have been here ONE day and I do not want to make assumptions about the life of these two people without talking to the other roommate, which I now have, and the landlord. I am in a tough situation and I am trying to navigate it without making bad decisions based off pure emotions, which seems to be where you are coming from. So please, realize that I am trying to figure out the BEST thing to do in this situation with regards to the girl and my own life, and flaming me with attacks on my character is not going to help anything. |
Sorry - did not realize it had only been a day so of course it might have just been a one-off, but yes, I have gone by the information you've (otherwise) given - what else should I do - and of course it's an emotional issue, certainly to someone with a daughter. |

Because what you describe isn't at all about you, my advice would be to do the right thing: call the police if you think there's danger. What did the landlord say when you asked if it happens all the time? What did the father say when you asked if everything was all right? Does the child look like she's been abused? Child Services isn't going to come breaking in and take the child like in some FBI movie without some actual prior authority. Most of the posts in this section are people venting, perhaps hoping there's a clear case for their rights regarding noisy neighbors or a parking space. Posting on the Internet isn't really a proactive step toward removing yourself (or the child) from harm. I don't blame Larke for assuming the situation was already worse. If you're really scared, do something real. |

Just wondering how past couple nights have gone? |

I perhaps came across as insensitive since allowing myself to become jaded by the many OPs who post tales of woe then vanish. I promise not to be that way moving forward. |

The Leafs hit the ice at MasterCard Centre on Wednesday as they get set to host the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday. James van Riemsdyk skated for 40 minutes before leaving practice as he continues to deal with an upper body injury.
Head coach Randy Carlyle said that there has been progress with van Riemsdyk and hopefully with more treatment over the next 24 hours that he could be in action against the Hurricanes but that won't be known until after the game day skate.
van Riemsdyk has five goals and six points in six games this season with a plus three rating.
Here is how the Leafs lines looked during practice.

Honda Fit Prices Paid and Buying Experiences
apnep Posts: 15I just bought a brand new, automatic, 2010 Fit Sport, with fog lights, tinted windows, a spoiler, trunk tray, alloy wheels (not sure if this was standard on the Sports), and underbody kit (whatever that is...). I paid, $16, 118 OTD. That included my TTL, Destination, and $1300 trade in. I think I got an excellent deal! I also got us the 1.99% financing.
How'd I do??? I got it in Frisco, TX. LOVE the car!
apnep Posts: 15I guess that's how it works right?
Price after Trade-in, TTL, and Destination was 16, 118. So, I feel like he really just added what he gave me in trade to the "invoice" price and made it look like he was giving me what I wanted. I felt a little tricked today. Haha. I meant to negotiate price first and even though I thought I was onto his game, he managed to get me excited and work the trade into the deal when I knew better. Those sales people are good. I am wondering if I got the short end of the stick instead of sticking it to them . Love the car. -
apnep Posts: 15I traded in a 1998 Honda Accord that had 105, 000 miles on it. The CV joints needed repair, and the upholstery was hideous. It has two dents in it and lots of scratches. Oh, and we had the car shopped at Carmax last year and they valued it at 1700 then, but ONE CV joint cost 360 for parts and labor.
Did I still get a good deal? -
moparbad Posts: 3,842$17,970 - $600 discount = $17,370
- $1,500 trade in allowance
$15,800 would be a good price
Did you pay more for the car?
OTD is difficult to compare. License, tax, title differ from state to state. OTD is only comparable w/in a state.
Price for car before TTL and "doc fees" is the best number to use to compare a price paid. -
apnep Posts: 15Hi,
I had a typo in my initial email. Here is what we paid.
invoice =15,000
add ons= 500 (tinted windows, trunk tray, spoiler, wheel locks, underbody stuff)
dest.= 710
doc. fees= 180 (i wish i hadn't paid for this)
trade= 1360
total= 16,478
MSRP on our car was 17,200. Now I don't know if I got a good deal or not.
Thanks, Ang -
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,922Nice car...pulled up next to one yesterday at a stop light and got a good look. A bit smaller than my Civic, which I love, but really nice especially in the sport model. Can see why people like these...and the Versa. Small enough for any driving situation with good gas mileage.
So go enjoy it and stop doubting yourself.
The Sandman :sick: :shades:2015 Audi A3 (wife) / 2015 Golf TSI (me) / 2009 Nissan Versa SL Hatch (daughter #1) / 2008 Hyundai Accent GLS (daughter #2)
apnep Posts: 15Thank you,Sandman. When hubby got home, he let me drive it! Haha. We took it to the store and I looked back at it as we were walking away. It's a really cute car. Today I was finally able to start enjoying it. It's actually his car, and I still have to drive my van, but I am excited for him.
Thanks for helping me through my silly obsession. -
jonnysubaru Posts: 10Just bought my new silver mist fit sport this week for 15988 from Anderson Honda in Palo Alto. You'd think these guys would be more expensive being in palo alto but the y actually have the best prices I've found. This deal seems to be available regularly if you deal with their internet department, but you won't likely get this deal if you walk into the sales floor.
Sale Price 15988, 55doc, 67reg, 181lic,8.76catire,20smog, ~$17700otd (I live in 9.75%tax area)
I've read other folks notes about this car at 15888 but now their deal is 15988. Pretty sure their internet department prices is 16198 if you miss the special and don't want to wait until the next one. This is for a new 2010 Fit Sport Auto.
By the way, the owner of this dealer actually cares about his business, and replied to an email I sent him with input. He contacted me back directly and met me when I made the transaction- it was awesome.
They may or may not let you use a yelp discount too.
Contact Jack Puls (firstname.lastname@example.com) and if you deal with him, let him know "jondotcom" sent you. He is low pressure and a cool guy. -
jonnysubaru Posts: 10Thanks. Yes the only cheaper deal I've seen in this forum on a new fit sport auto was 15,888 at the same dealer some months back. They seem to keep doing the 15,988 special now, and I'm pretty sure it's 16,188 if you walk in and don't know the special. In the regular (non internet department) I'm pretty sure they some out with ~16,500 ish from what one of the general sales managers said.
The real downside for me was my local sales tax at 9.75%... it's unbelievable.
Anderson Honda in Palo Alto CA rocks. -
sfdriver1 Posts: 2The best quote I got in the Bay Area using Edmunds was $18,207 otd for a Fit Sport automatic. Base price for car is $16,288. Sounds like there are better deals out there than what I'm getting. I'm going to try Anderson in Pali. Did you have a trade-in? I have a 1999 Corolla with 125k in fair condition to trade.
jonnysubaru Posts: 10I didn't have a trade in. What you do is go to andersondirect.com and request a quote from their internet department. They should have a $15988 one on sale or I believe their price was $16,188 if all of the sale ones are gone. Ask for Jack Puls or Gus Stevenson if you call them directly.
I'd recommend just selling your car private party because they are not going to want to take anything with that amount of miles on it.
Good luck! -

rte2commuter Posts: 9On Saturday I signed an offer for a Fit Sport Navi. No haggling - I was willing to pay MSRP (I know - I'm an idiot). I was even flexible on the color - I would have been happy to just get one and be done car shopping. But 3 days later I was shopping the dealerships again because my Honda dealer said they just couldn't get their hands on a Fit Sport Navi. They had warned me on Saturday that there were only 3 to be found in all of New England (!?) but they thought they could grab one for me. Then on Tuesday they admitted that they didn't know when/if another Fit Sport Navi would come their way. So I cooled off a bit, started shopping around again, and I bought a sweet little VW Golf TDI yesterday. My OTD price for the Fit would have been 21,356 (Honda offered me 300 for my trade-in which I turned down) while my OTD for the VW was 22,358 (VW offered me 1500 for the same trade-in and I took it). Plus the new Golf TDI comes with a green car 1300 tax credit. The TDI has a more refined interior, a smooth quiet ride with a lot of torque, heated seats, touch-screen Sirius radio w/ bluetooth, and insane diesel fuel efficiency/longevity (my last VW TDI - the trade-in - got close to 50 mpg overall and piled on 225,000 miles over 9 years). With the tax credit, my new TDI actually ended up costing $298 *LESS* than the Fit. :surprise: Don't get me wrong - I still like the Fit - but the top of the line Fit MSRP does look way out of line when you see what that money can do elsewhere. So I ended up without a Fit, but I'm very happy with the way it went.

The Goring, London's only family-owned five star hotel celebrates its centenary in 2010
This year The Goring in London celebrates its centenary. For Jeremy Goring, the fourth Goring to run it, those celebrations will be all about family, staff and guests. Ever since his great-grandfather, O.R. Goring, built and opened the hotel in 1910, The Goring has reflected one family's passion for quality. And it is now the only 5-star hotel in London that is still owned and run by the family that built it.
Jeremy explains, "That we are still standing as a privately owned hotel today is a miracle. Four successive generations have worked at delivering the best service and warmest ambience in town. We are on the cutting edge when we need to be - whilst we may have occasionally thrown out some traditions, we've dared to keep many others. So the flavour remains as resolutely English as ever… maybe all the more so for the rarity of it. "
In 2009, it was awarded the Catey for 'Best Independent Hotel' and it was named 'Hotel of the Year' by Pride of Britain Hotels. In early 2009 readers of Condé Nast Traveller magazine in the USA voted it as having the 'Best Service in the UK' and Travel and Leisure magazine seems to constantly vote it Top London Hotel.
O.R. Goring proudly opened his Belgravia hotel on 2 March 1910. The price of a room was seven shillings and sixpence, or 37p. It was the first hotel in the world to offer a private bathroom and central heating in every bedroom, unlike Buckingham Palace right next door.
This is why visiting Royals always preferred to stay at The Goring – as they still do today, although they are now joined by a steady stream of Presidents, Prime Ministers and entertainers. Mortals are also extremely welcome of course, and The Goring offers a uniquely timeless, relaxed and informal atmosphere for all this splendour.
O. R.'s son O. G., took over as Managing Director in 1926, having attended the École Hôtelière in Lausanne and worked at some of the finest hotels in Europe. O. G. steered the hotel through World War II – the enormous garden was given over to growing tomatoes and at home his wife Edna grew vegetables for the hotel guests. Smog-defeating net curtains were made from Spitfire fuel filter-rolls and eggs were plentiful thanks to her 300 chickens.
The reputation of The Goring as THE place for "proper" British food was cemented during this period although ironically the whole thing started under the Escoffier-trained Chef de Cuisine, Gasc.
Then came George Goring. For the next 43 years his outrageous persona and stubborn eye for perfection set the style and created the Goring charm that has made the hotel what it is today. In honour of his invaluable services to the hotel industry, he was awarded the OBE in 1992, and voted Hotelier of the Year by his peers.
In 2005 Jeremy took over and today he is proud to continue the family traditions of extreme individuality and absolute shunning of all things corporate. But the highest standards of service have been built on further. Over the past five years, Jeremy has been investing in the fabric of the hotel, first overseeing the transformation of the Dining Room by David Linley and the refurbishment of rooms and suites by designers Tim Gosling and Nina Campbell. A new afternoon tea veranda has been added, overlooking the hotel's very private gardens.
Last year Tim Gosling came back to give the Bar, Lounge and Terrace a wonderfully theatrical and silk-lined new look. Finally, this year saw the redesign of many of the largest rooms in the hotel, overlooking the garden, by Russell Sage, using historic silks specially rewoven for The Goring by the Royal Warrant holders, Gainsborough.
Jeremy was lucky to inherit the larger-than-life David Morgan-Hewitt (now the Hotel's Managing Director), affectionately known as "Big Dave". David is probably the UK's top hotelier and easily the most recognisable, charismatic raconteur in the hotel industry.
Says Jeremy, "We are still a young up-and–comer of a place with lots to prove. But standing in the lobby here, I wonder if my Great Grandad envisaged anything like this hotel as it is now. I hope so; The Goring feels as new today as it did in 1910. But one thing that hasn't changed. We have a brilliant group of staff who deliver unparalleled, bend-over-backwards service every day to delight our guests. And they are ALL human beings. It's a timeless recipe that seems to work."
A year-long calendar of centenary celebrations includes:100 Years of Glorious Goring Grub – throughout 2010 the Dining Room will feature period dishes from The Goring menu archives. This is to be launched at a lunch attended by top British chefs.Anyone for croquet? Summer 2010 is all about splits, roquets, the full roll and level play in The Goring gardens - as well as afternoon tea, cocktails and croquet lessons, courtesy of another great British family business, Jaques of London, specialists in outdoor games since 1795.Wine dinners with two other great families – those of Petrus and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.In December 2009, the uncorking of The Goring Meursault, specially made under the auspices of the Hospices de Beaune and the popping of The Goring Centenary Champagne … both of which will feature prominently at celebrations throughout the centenary year.A festive Christmas Carol Service at St Peter's, Eaton Square, will end the year on a high note (for those who feel sheepish about all this revelry). Amen!
In the lobby of The Goring stands a statue of its founder, O. R. Goring. The inscription on the base of the statue reads "I opened this hotel, on March 2, 1910." Every morning, John Andrews, head concierge, puts a fresh flower in the buttonhole of the statue. On March 2, 2010, he will do so with particular pride.

Onkel (the Danish word for Uncle) is a sofa that combines the simplicity of modern forms with the soft curves of the' olden days'.
The outer shell of the sofa has a firm expression, while the cushions are comfortable and inviting. The choice of materials adds a sensuous side with its characteristically Nordic connotations. The Onkel sofa consists of a simple, upholstered frame with cushions. The inspiration for the cushions derives from the more bombastic upholstered sofas typical of the pre-1950s era.
To emphasise the merger of two completely different worlds of expression, the back cushion has been elegantly encapsulated by the frame. The materials in Onkel create a dynamic effect with its plain-colored frame, mottled back and cushion and color-lacquered under frame. All in the same color shade. This is what makes Onkel stand as a complete unit.
Simon Legald explains: "As a designer, I am curious about how the materials work together with the idea. Onkel is a sofa that was derived of a dialogue between craftsmanship and industry. In creating Onkel, I have revived old craftsmanship techniques and used them in a new context. In doing this, the details add character to Onkel."
Onkel is a recognisably Nordic design and comes in five colour versions upholstered with fabrics from Gabriel.
Size: Side height: 40cm; depth: 80cm; seat depth: 63cm; length: 235cm
Colours: Dark grey, light grey, purple, blue, yellow
Material: Frame: Fame fabric from Gabriel; cushion and back: Step Melange fabric from Gabriel; underframe: lacquered wood
Price: GBP 2760

Cotton Club
Cotton Club
Nightclub in New York City's Harlem district in the 1920s and '30s. It opened in 1922 at 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue under the management of the reputed bootlegger Owney Madden (1892–1964). It became fashionable and featured the finest African American performers in the U.S., performing for an exclusively white audience. Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, and Ethel Waters were among its featured artists. The club later moved downtown (1936–40).

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 Lilly!
Facts about Lilly
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Lilly's Info...
I am housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi my name is Lilly and I'm a little shy. You see I lived all my life (2-4 years) in this pen with chicken wire bottom that hurt my feet. I heard people say it was something called a puppy mill. I don't know what that is but I know I am the cause of a lot of puppies being born! I lost my only baby that was born and was shipped away the next day! I was so sad! They told me I will never have to live like that again and I can just be a dog! My foster mommy bathed me, fed me and loved me to make me feel and smell good! I do need lots of love. I'm afraid of loud noises and new things but I'm learning they won't hurt me. I love to snuggle with you and lay in the crook of you neck or on you shoulder. Please fill out an application if you are interested in having me as your forever friend, I could use one! I will be available after May 22, after being spayed.
Other Pets at Zoe's House Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Sinking Spring Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Sinking Spring, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Sinking Spring.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sinking Spring 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 Sinking Spring 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 Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sinking Spring paves the way for another one to be saved.

KENTUCKY (3/22/14) — It's something we find in the bathroom, but the toilet plunger isn't just for unclogging the toilet.
The toilet plunger isn't just for unclogging the toilet. This experiment shows us how two plungers can help us better understand the weather.
- 2 Toilet Plungers
STEP 1: Press the two plunger cups together.
STEP 2: Attempt to separate the plunger cups.
Suction occurs when there is a difference in air pressure. You created this difference when you pressed the two plunger cups together. By doing this, you forced out the air from inside each plunger cup reducing the pressure from within, creating a low pressure system.
Go to www.hookedonscience.org for more experiments that might get you and your family "Hooked on Science."

Hyde Park Klondike Bar
What would you do for a Klondike bar With six different varieties of single-serving Klondike bars available from the good people at Good Humor Ice cream, don\'t you think that it is about time that some of those bars found their home in Hyde Park After 81 years of popularity and incredibly delicious flavor, we feel that it is time to bring Klondike bars to the University of Chicago by petitioning the mayor to open a Klondike bar in the vicinity.

Comments: YES in short.As an area reaches ctraicil mass, that is the number of visits by people that is deemed by researchers to have negative impact on the ecosystem. At this point a limit should be put on the number of human visitors.In Canada this is being done in a majority of the larger parks.I have done photographic tours to photograph wild owls in Ontario for several years.The location has become very popular with individuals and groups, to the point that groups of 15 20 were becoming normal.The people did not stay on the trails and have opened up the understory to the point that I have seen larger predatory owls able to enter the woods and feed on the smaller owls that historically used the area as a safe day-time roosting area.As a photographer and naturalist I keep my groups small to limit the impact and minimizes the stress on wildlife.So again I will say yes ( ideally a draw should be used so as not to limit people be economics alone )

So the Saudi Grand Mufti was recently asked what Islamic law had to say on the subject of Christian Churches in Arabic nations. He declared that according to Muhammed the Arabic peninsular was to only exist under a single religion – which was obviously Islam. Thus certain factions with Kuwait took that to mean that all Christian churches need to be destroyed.
So much for the public face of interfaith peaceful coexistence.
Can you imagine for a moment the outcry (and IMO rightly so, even I as an Atheist would agree) if a western religious leader suggested destroying all Islamic Mosques, or Jewish Temples etc? You just know that certain extremist elements would be calling for the removal, or worse, of this person, and more moderate followers would be strangely silent.
You really have to love a religious double standard.

Recombination is the exchange of DNA segments between the two copies of a chromosome (maternally inherited and paternally inherited). This occurs during the creation of an egg or sperm for the next generation. Each chromosome is cut at the same location, usually at one or two random spots (crossover points), and DNA segments are swapped between the two copies.
The newly formed chromosome in the egg will be a patchwork of contributions from the maternal grandparents, and the newly formed chromosome in the sperm will be a patchwork of contributions from the paternal grandparents, but there is still one copy of every gene. Some eggs and sperm will retain a complete copy of one grandparent's chromosome without recombination. The creation of each egg and sperm is an independent event, so siblings will inherit different portions of their grandparents' DNA.

Is as beautiful as in the picture but RUNS VERY SMALL IN SIZE!! I thought i was buying a little big, still didn't fit.
by M | Date Added: Saturday 21 June, 2014 |
Beautiful. Item arrived earlier than expected, and fit perfectly in a size small. The fabric is a soft, thick grey subtle pattern which gives almost a silver hue. Laces up the back and has a steel hook and eye closure in the front. The lace is very soft, although has body which i thought is very nice. This is a very pretty corset, and i will definately order fom this seller again. i really love it. Perfect addition to any lingerie collection. It is stunning on!
by SSSS | Date Added: Wednesday 02 April, 2014 |
I think MUKA makes some of the better corsets and the prices are usually really good. I prefer the lacing to meet in the middle of the back as opposed to at the bottom or the top... if that makes sense. This way, you can cinch the middle easier, which is where we want it cinched most. Lol Muka does that.When choosing your size, remember that you DO want to see your back.. so it's okay if it's a little small. Loosen all the laces A LOT, before snapping the front. Don't try to snap the front with the corset tight, do it with it really loose around your body. You tighten it AFTER you have it snapped in front, by pulling and adjusting the laces in the back.
by Lisa | Date Added: Wednesday 22 January, 2014 |
Good quality and durable. Sized COMPLETELY WRONG. XL won't fit my daughter who is a size 9 ladies.Even with the strings maxed out. SKIP IT
by Kaitlynd | Date Added: Monday 13 January, 2014 |
As with most clothing items bought online, I'm always skeptical about sizes. I'm a busty girl but I'm thin waisted, so I thought this would work for me. Firstly, the picture is backwards. The product I got laces in the front for whatever reason. It's difficult to wear because the gap in the lace for it to fit would be so big, I would have to wear something under it. My point is, I wouldn't buy it based on your waist size, I would buy it based on your chest size.
by Mona Osman "zolwica" | Date Added: Wednesday 18 December, 2013 |
It looks beautiful and is used as a fashion corset I suppose (a concept beyond my understanding. Why would I want to go out in my underwear?)It holds well and slims quite a bit, only problem is that it is short and thus the abdomen area looks silly with a bit of a bulge. Needs to be longer and reaching the hip bones. I suppose it would be great for shorter or petite people.

Mixtapes have a new album out on No Sleep Records, it's the bands first or second depending if you count Maps or not. It's pretty damn great, one of the best of the year for sure. I've listened to this thing a ton of times and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Not only did Mixtapes make an album instead of another EP, but they made a massive one. Coming in with sixteen songs and no filler in sight, it's a great accomplishment. This is one of the best albums out this year, do yourself a favor and make sure you pick it up; it's all the pop punk goodness you could want.
'Seven Mile' starts off and ends pretty quickly; it's under a minute long but sets a good tone for the album. Upbeat sounding but not quite that if you listen to the lyrics, and hella poppy.
'Something Better' is a song that I'd say follows the Mixtapes format to a T, if you believe the band has a format. Slow and soothing mixed with fast and poppy.
'Hey Ma PT. 2′ they rev up the speed here and you can't help but sing along to this one, even if you don't want to it just happens.
'Even on the Worst Nights' If you happened to have read the review I did on Mixtapes 'Somewhere In Trinsic' 7″ then you already know my love for this song. If not I'll simply say this is one of the best Mixtapes songs ever recorded. Normally when I listen to this album now I'll skip right to this song, listen to it, then start the album from the beginning (if I don't listen to the song a second time before doing that). It's no 'Hope Is for People', but its damn close.
'You Must Not Be From Around Here' another song that greatly mixes the speed and mellow parts that Mixtapes do so well. It actually sounds like a bit of skate punk is thrown in there just for fun.
'You & I' starts out acoustically, kind of which it had stayed that way because I really dig though songs. But as soon as the song ramps up you don't miss the acoustics at all. It's a fast one though so enjoy it while you can; the next song is coming up fast.
'I'm Wearing the Device (Bridge, Water)' Much like 'Hey Ma PT. 2′ you're not going to be able to restrain yourself from singing along to this song. It's mostly a Maura song but there's a great mix of the two vocals through a good chunk of it too.
'I'll Give You A Hint, Yes' This might be the down spot of the album, but the down point on a Mixtapes album is better than some of the high points on other albums. This song just doesn't really suck me in like most of the other ones but it's still a real good song.
'Russian House DJ' I don't care for the title of this song, but I'll let that slide because the song is pretty damn good. It sounds like the band was listening to a lot of Weezer and Wheatus when they wrote this one because you can hear the influence for sure.
'Anyways' I consider this song another one of the elite off of this album, top three easily. Just from the start you know you're going to be singing in no time, it's so catchy it should be illegal. And as an added bonus there are some guest vocals from Grath of House Boat, the Steinways and a bunch of other great pop punk bands.
'Indian Summer' My only problem with this song is that I'd have put it earlier on the album, it's got a little slower feel (but not slow by any means) that seems out of sequence so late. Still a good tune though.
'One for the Ozarks' This album is full of sing along songs and this one is no exception. It starts out full throttle speed then slams on the breaks for a minute and there are some catchy lyrics to accompany it.
'Just When You Thought It Was Over' This is one of the hits off of the album for sure, if I was putting out a single for this album this may be the song I'd choose.
'Golden Sometimes' The acoustic comes out again for this song, luckily this time it stays through the whole song. This sounds like some of my favorite Mixtapes songs, because I'm a sucker for this stuff. Lyrics are great; flow of the song is nice, this just rules all around.
'Basement Manners' features mostly Maura again which I'm happy to hear. Of the two Ryan seems to get more vocals across of the two of them but I like songs sung by both equally so I'm glad this happened.
'Mt. Hope' is a perfect ending song to this album. I could listen to this song hundreds of times, it's kind of builds anticipation waiting for it to come up at the end. Great bookend to a great album.

« November 2011 Table of Contents
Crustaceans, comprising crabmeat, crabs, crawfish/crayfish and lobsters, faced supply hurdles presented by both Mother Nature and manmade disasters in recent years. Most recently, Hurricane Irene closed many harvest areas on the East Coast, and thus crustacean sales at stable stores have been variable. Weekly sales reached a five-year low in 2008, at $674 dollars per store, followed by the five-year high in 2009. Crustacean sales in 2009 increased 19.5 percent to $838 per week per store from 2008, but decreased again in 2010 to $777.
The downward sales trend has continued in the most recent 52 weeks ending July 30, 2011. Weekly supermarket sales of crustaceans per store decreased 14.1 percent in the United States, while the seafood department as a whole decreased 1.6 percent.
Crustaceans accounted for 11.7 percent of seafood department sales during the latest 52 weeks. Crabs accounted for the majority of the category's dollar sales with a 48.6 percent dollar share nationally. The average retail price of crustaceans increased 16.7 percent in the latest 52 weeks, which helped drive total seafood department average retail prices up 5.6 percent.
Nationally, crustaceans averaged weekly sales of $728 per store. Sales peaked the week of Jan. 1, 2011, at $1,992 per store. Lobster and crab drove this peak, with $935 and $807 in per-store sales, respectively. These luxury items are key species for New Year's holiday parties. On the other side of the spectrum, the category's lowest sales occurred the week of Halloween 2010, with sales of $418 per store.
The East region had the highest average weekly crustacean dollar sales with $1,264 per store, nearly double the national average. All other regions fell below the national average, with the West posting the lowest weekly sales of $479 per store. Crustacean sales in the West decreased the most, from $642 to $479 per store, which was a 25.3 percent decrease.
Crustaceans in the South and East regions contributed the most to seafood department sales, with respective contributions of 13.1 percent and 12.7 percent. In the Central region, the category had the lowest contribution, to the seafood department, 8.9 percent, due in part to less availability of fresh seafood. The South region dominated crawfish/crayfish sales with 93.5 percent of U.S. sales in the latest 52 weeks. The East region had the largest share of lobster, accounting for 48.2 percent of dollar sales.

If you have to deal with dry, itchy skin, there may be many culprits, but one, the soap you are purchasing at the supermarket, might be chiefly to blame.
The Beauty Bar Conundrum
Many of the "soaps" you get in the grocery store is not true soap, yet a detergent, a cleaning agent. Have you looked the label on your bar of soap recently? Does it say soap? Probably not, instead, the label probably reads "Bath Bar" or "Beauty Bar".
So exactly what is in that beauty bar? Your bath bar is probably a cleaning agent created by mixing ingredients that lessen the water tension in between contact surfaces allowing the dirt to wash away. Do you remember the recipe detergent commercials where a drop of dish detergent repels whole sinks filled with spaghetti grease? Why does your skin feel dry after bathing with your bath bar? When you are cleaning with among those bars, you are not only cleaning off all the dirt, but you are also washing away the natural oils your body creates to coat and protect your skin.
Our Ingredients
We make our handmade soaps are made from ingredients you see in your supermarket. There are no artificial chemicals in our soaps. We utilize choice vegetable oils and butters to produce our soaps, each having their very own unique properties:
- Olive oil moisturizes delicate or dry skin.
- Coconut oil has anti-bacterial and antioxidant benefits.
- Shea butter moisturizes, protects, and heals dry skin.
Doesn't our list of ingredients sound healthier and more nourishing than the chemistry lesson written on the side of your bar?
The Secret Weapon of Handmade Soap: Glycerin
Handmade soap, unlike those bars you find in the supermarket, retains glycerol also known as glycerin. You might remember your mom keeping a brown bottle of glycerin in the medicine cabinet. In addition to being a home remedy for many ailments, glycerin is a natural humectant, drawing moisture to itself from its environment. Our lather leaves a thin coating on your skin that draws water from the atmosphere and, from deep within your skin to keep your skin soft and supple. Glycerin is a regular by-product of the soap making process. However, since glycerin has a high resell value, and it is useful in a number of moisturizing crèmes and after bath products, soap manufacturers extract it and make new products from it.
Your Skin Will Thank You
Your skin is an organ as essential as your heart and lungs. When your skin is soft, supple, and healthy, it protects against the environment. By managing your skin's health, you are helping to ensure your general health.
If you have dry skin, dermatitis, or various other ailments, you may consider one of our handmade soap recipes that include oatmeal. Our Oatmeal, Vanilla Oatmeal, Pine Tar, or Cherry Almond soaps utilize moisturizing ingredients such as oatmeal, shea butter, and many other oils.

Silly sketch | Building from the back, with Leibniz in goal
London | Some might object that Monty Python's Personal Best, airing in six installments in February and March on the Public Broadcasting Service, merely provides another money-making rehash for the famed comedy troupe. But the installment hosted by Eric Idle at least offers the classic Python Olympiad, featuring the second-leg football final in Munich between German and Greek philosophers. The two sides, kitted out in period gear with squad numbers, ruminate for much of the 90 minutes before a breakthrough by the Greeks in stoppage: the "odd goal," according to announcer Michael Palin. Numerous transcripts exist on the Internet, but for those who need a reminder, here are the squad lists:
1 Leibniz
2 I. Kant
3 Hegel
4 Schopenhauer
5 Schelling
6 Beckenbauer ("obviously a bit of a surprise there")
7 Jaspers
8 Schlegel
9 Wittgenstein
10 Nietzsche
11 HeideggerGriechenland
1 Plato
2 Epictetus
3 Aristotle ("very much the man in form")
4 Sophocles
5 Empedocles of Acragas
6 Plotinus
7 Epicurus
8 Heraclitus
9 Democritus
10 Socrates
11 Archimedes
Substitutes are not specified, although Karl Marx does come on late for the Germans—for Ludwig Wittgenstein—and has little influence.
The sketch manages several parodies simultaneously: of over-excitable commentators, of intellectuals incapable of understanding the rudiments of a simple game and of football itself, sometimes portrayed by comics in non-football cultures as slow and without purpose.
Turning philosophers into footballers has become something of a cottage industry for Mark Perryman, who has written a book, Philosophy Football, featuring profiles of 11 writers and thinkers and their playing tendencies, and helped launch a start-up featuring team shirts with philosophers' names and tangentially football-related sayings. Witness Wittgenstein, from Philosophical Investigations:
Imagine people amusing themselves in a field by playing with a ball. Throwing the ball aimlessly into the air, chasing one another with the ball. The whole time they are playing and following definite rules. Is there not also the case where we play and make up the rules as we go along?

Voted a favorite place for party services by Carolina Parent readers from 2010-2013, Bounce U welcomes kids to descend upon an inflatable, climate-controlled playground where they can bounce and ricochet in safety. Along with birthday parties and group outings, Bounce U hosts open-bounce sessions that let sock wearers of all ages imagine they're synchronized leapers in a futuristic moon performance as they carom around the inflatable stadium, expending energy with every leap. Adults are welcome to act like 8-year-olds and join the vivacious youngsters in the playground.
The inflatable arena also opens its buoyant doors to technology-themed bounce camps and programs, where boys and girls spend half their time with brain-bolstering projects such as creating their own stop-motion animation movies or reprogramming the remote to skip all news channels. After stretching the limits of their imaginations, kids then spend the other half of the day stretching the limits of their limbs on the inflatable playground.
Attractions such as miniature golf, batting cages, and laser tag make Adventure Landing an ideal location for getting in fun, interactive family time. Whether the kids opt for a heart-accelerating whip around the go-kart track or a few swings of the bat, the fun center gives families every excuse to band together or square off against one another in friendly competition. School, church, and corporate outings are available as well, giving groups of all ages a place to gather, nosh on pizza, and create complex victory dances.
A member of a previously undiscovered species known as skateasaurus stakes its territory, tracing figure eights along the rink's hardwood floor. Dressed in blue-and-white shorts and a red trucker hat, the plush, green-and-yellow dinosaur—otherwise known as Skato—eschews eating children, and instead prompts them to shake it all about in rounds of Hokey Pokey. This fun ambiance extends to the rest of United Skates of America's roller rink, surrounded by lime-green walls and manned by a smiling staff.
At RushHour Karting, speed demons can kart to their spleens' content, regardless of the weather, on a challenging all-indoor track. The 1/3-mile course fills up drivers' adrenaline tanks with hairpin curves, winding turns, and high-speed straights. New SODI RX7 karts with 6.5-horsepower engines and improved safety features reach race speeds of up to 40 mph for an adult-sized dose of acceleration exhilaration for drivers 15 and up, while junior karts provide more manageable speeds for drivers 8 to 14 years old. Today's deal gets each driver onto the track for two eight-minute heats, providing an ample cure for the toe tingles that come with lead foot.
In autumn, the verdant acres of the Jolley Family Fun Farm shroud themselves in golden corn tassels and pumpkin baubles to entertain guests with wholesome outdoor adventures. The pirate-influenced park puts a twist on traditional farm festivities with a pirate ship made of hay bales and hayrides routinely marauded by cornstalks wearing eye-patches. Kids can scamper through a shark-shaped mini maze or build castles in a sandbox full of corn kernels. An eight-acre pirate-themed cornfield maze dares visitors to enter its meandering lanes, populated with 27 activity stations that dazzle maze-explorers with mind puzzles, pirate factoids, and mirages of swashbuckling turkeys. Though not included in this Groupon, guests can recover from overdoses of fresh air at the Snack Shack or pick their own pumpkin to decorate at one of the Funky Pumpkin Face stations.
According to Pump It Up, air is essential for a successful rowdy romp. During three fun-filled open-bounce sessions, children leap around gargantuan air-filled bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like legless snakes through an air-filled obstacle course, losing themselves in a world of multi-colored inflatamania. Pump It Up's indoor air arena is climate-controlled and cleanly maintained according to rigorous guidelines set by a team of well-trained staff members. Parents play for free, so childless adults who want to play will need to borrow their neighbor's kid or win one by collecting enough cereal-box tops. Open bounce times run during the day on Mondays and Fridays (10:30 a.m.–noon), and in the evening on Fridays and Sundays (5:30 p.m.–7 p.m.). Check the schedule and get ready to deck the walls with jolly bounces.

The Community Engagement Key Function of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin will hold a series of Science Cafés at the Milwaukee Public Library's Central location that are free and open to the public. The theme of the 2014 series is "Science and a Healthier You," and topics will include heart disease prevention, drug addiction, asthma, and an overall look at Science Cafés and how they work.
Syed Ahmed, MD, MPH, DrPH, senior associate dean for community engagement and director of the Community Engagement Key Function of the CTSI, said, "We are excited to continue the Science Café program as it has been extremely successful in the past three years of increasing communication between the community and researchers. The Science Cafés are valuable for our community partners through increasing confidence in their health and scientific literacy."
The series kicks off Tuesday, March 11 with a discussion led by Aimee Welsh, M.D., assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine; and Kelly Duffy, PhD, academic program and research consultant in the Cardiovascular Center, both from the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). Drs. Welsh and Duffy will offer new information on heart disease and stroke, including conditions and factors that increase risk, and how individuals can lower their risk of heart disease and stroke.
Then on April 8, John Mantsch, PhD, professor and chair of biomedical sciences in the College of Health Sciences at Marquette University, will lead a discussion on drug addiction. Dr. Mantsch will explain the science of drug addiction, factors that lead to addiction and new research that has advanced our knowledge about the brains of drug addicts and what drives their behaviors.
The café Tuesday, May 13 will be led by Zeno Franco, PhD, assistant professor of family and community medicine at MCW. Dr. Franco's talk, entitled, "Lessons Learned at Science Cafés," will explain the genesis of the science café, the rationale behind gathering community members with researchers to discuss science, and the best way to measure the benefit of the cafes to the community.
The final café of the spring series will be held Tuesday, June 10, and will address childhood asthma. Matthew Gray, MD, instructor of pediatric emergency medicine; and Michael Levas, MD, assistant professor of pediatric medicine; will lead the discussion. Both have academic appointments at MCW and see patients at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Drs. Gray and Levas will talk about those most at risk for asthma, the role the environment plays in the disease, and treatment options.
All four Science Cafes will be held at the Milwaukee Central Library at 814 W. Wisconsin Avenue, in the first floor meeting room. Discussion begins at 6:00 p.m. and continues through 7:15 p.m. The discussions are designed to engage and involve members of the community, and all are free and open to the public. Registration for the March café is available now at https://ctsi.mcw.edu/community/science-cafe/, or contact Mia DeFino at (414) 955-5754 or email@example.com.
Science Cafés are a program of the Community Engagement Key Function of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of Southeast Wisconsin. Funding for this program comes in part by the CTSI of southeastern Wisconsin and in part by Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Research and Education Initiative Fund, a component of the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin endowment at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
CTSI is part of a national consortium of top medical research institutions. Working together, the CTSI institutions are committed to improve human health by streamlining science, transforming training environments and improving the conduct, quality and dissemination of clinical and translational research. The CTSI program is led by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The eight member organizations of the CTSI are the Medical College of Wisconsin, Marquette University, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the BloodCenter of Wisconsin, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Hospital and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.

China Embraces the World Market
Case Studies of Australian Businesses in China
WMC Limited
State: Victoria
Sector: Minerals and Energy
WMC Limited, a major global minerals explorer and producer with business interest in 16 countries, has exported Olympic Dam copper cathode to major Chinese copper rod and cable manufacturers since 1999. WMC also has exported nickel to China since 2001.
In the late 1990s, WMC began building key relationships with a view to developing mining joint-ventures; it established a gold exploration venture in Xinjiang Autonomous Region and began exploring for world class nickel deposits in southern China. In July 2000, WMC signed two nickel exploration and mining joint ventures in Yunnan province with government-associated entities. WMC also established a service company in Xinjiang to provide technical, logistical and management support services.
WMC believes China is a promising base metal export market, with expanding nickel use and a shortfall in Chinese production of refined copper feedstock underpinning demand. WMC find that a lack of written regulations and transparency in applying rules and regulations makes doing business difficult. However, WMC is encouraged with the direction of change in the business environment and mining regime and by the strong support Chinese authorities give to foreign investment.

A lot of people don't realise that you can also use these .vhd files to restore individual files and folders without having to restore the entire image. Continue reading
Torrents For Dummys
I get asked by a lot of people how to use BitTorrent clients and sites. Many people get themselves into trouble when downloading from sites such as thepiratebay or kickass torrents because these sites are full of deceptive advertisements and dodgy torrents, if you aren't sure exactly what you are doing it is very easy to fill your PC up with all kinds of viruses and spyware; something I see time and time again. With a bit of common sense and caution you can use these sites with confidence to obtain a lot of handy files though, which is what this article is all about, so without further delay, I present 'Torrents For Dummys'.

So I got to messing around with some of my Internet settings for IE and managed to figure it out, Continue reading
Stop Windows Automatic Reboot After Updates
Occasionally, after the installation of an Automatic Update, Windows will prompt the user to reboot their computer or postpone the reboot for up to 4 hours. This is possibly one of the most annoying of all of Windows "features" as quite often I have been caught off-guard when downloading a large file or leaving the computer for a few minutes only to find that I've missed the prompt and the computer has restarted. Which can obviously be extremely frustrating!
Fortunately, it is relatively easy to fix permanently. Continue reading

Hannah Garden-Monheit, '14
Hannah Garden-Monheit, '14
Hometown: Mobile, AL
Undergrad: Grinnell College, '07
Major: Political Science and French
Law School activities/organizations: American Constitution Society, Student Admissions Committee
For students considering a career in public interest, student-loan debt is a huge consideration when selecting a law school.
It was for Hannah Garden-Monheit, and it's why she chose Chicago Law. "The Law School's generous public service loan forgiveness program underscored the school's commitment to supporting and encouraging students interested in public service careers," she said.
In 2011, the Law School adopted a new Loan Repayment Assistance Program that allows total forgiveness of student loans for graduates working in public interest who meet certain criteria. The Law School's LRAP is one of the most generous of its kind, with an income cap of $80,000 and inclusion of judicial clerkships.
Hannah decided to attended law school after managing an Iowa State House campaign, clerking in the State House of Representatives, and serving for three years as an analyst for the Iowa Senate Democratic Caucus to attend law school.
"Every day presented a different challenge, ranging from figuring out the right phrasing to use in a bill, to helping a constituent solve a problem or designing a press tour to make the legislative process more accessible to the public," she said. "But I realized I could be a stronger public servant if I armed myself with a legal education. It's difficult to draft good legislation when you don't know the common law, or how a court would approach interpreting your statute!"
So far, Hannah has found law school intellectually stimulating, and she can see practical applications for what she's learning. Her classmates also have added to the experience. "Far from the cutthroat atmosphere I had feared when contemplating a top law school," she said, "I've found my interactions with other students to be very rewarding."
Here's what Hannah has found to be the most challenging about law school:
"There's so much going on around campus and in the city that sometimes it's hard to set aside time to take advantage of it all."

Dishwasher detergent is concentrated and a good degreaser (alkaline ph) to clean tile grout. The best dishwasher detergents to use are the granular capsules which you cut open and empty into a small container. Make sure to saturate the grout with hot hot water first then apply the detergent with a firm toothbrush scrubbing along the grout. For heavy oily grime "Easy Off" oven cleaner will remove quite well. I sometimes use extra strength cleaning vinegar or a mild phosphoric acid in combination with alkaline degreasers to get all the stains out. Be careful combining other chemicals like ammonia and bleach as the mixtures can be lethal. Also be careful when working with strong alkalines and acids especially at face level. (rubber gloves and an eye goggles are essential) Using a latex paint with an "acrylic paint reducer" will renew what cannot be removed by cleaning. This is basic information but a good intro into the complex world of stone, tile, and grout care without the specialized chemicals. I have field tested every professional tile and stonecare product available and will advise that proper technique and basic household cleaners can achieve "as good as" results at a fraction of the cost without the dangers. Caution: acids and strong alkalines will etch marble,sandstone,travertine and limestone surfaces with the exception of Granites. Hope this helps! email@example.com |

Electrasol Finish Quantum Powerballs (or) Cascade All-In-One Packs for the initial scrub cleaning. Hair strength hydrogen peroxide after all else fails, but only on the grout, and use gloves and eye protection. firstname.lastname@example.com |
Stonexpert: THANKS!! Krissie |
I bought some EdFred shower cleaner after seeing a video which was linked on a similar thread. It did the job on the shower and I also had read that it cleaned grout. I put it directly on the grout lines, used a small brush to brush it in, wiped up with a towel and when it dried the grout was like new. It's biodegradable (but I still wore vinyl gloves). No effort at all to clean up miserable-looking grout lines in our kitchen in front of the sink and cooktop. Worth every penny (shipping was more than the 16 oz. bottle). I'll be using it from now on. |

dockside: Glad you wore gloves and please always do. Biodegradable does not mean harmless or safe to use. All this means is that eventually these chemical compounds will break down and will not "destroy" or have an adverse affect on nature. When using Biodegradable chemicals of any kind wear gloves and protect your skin and eyes and do not breathe in. Organic acids are considered Biodegradable and will still eat through your skin and bodily tissues in a second causing irreparable damage. I have been splashed here and there while working with these chemicals and believe me...they hurt! |

lindac: yes, the chlorox pen gel is nice to use as a cleaner for grout but some cautionary advice for other readers. Chlorox contains bleach (chlorine) and when mixed with common household chemicals which may contain ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) the resulting mix produces a violent reaction and lethal toxin known as.... "Mustard Gas". Always be extremely careful when using household cleaners for any other intended use around the home. |

I appear to be having some issues with my young Washington Navel orange tree. As you can see in the picture below, the fruit is not growing and turning yellow and spotty.
Next to the bad oranges on the left is a Eureka lemon from a tree growing about 15 feet away. I use the same soaker hose for both of them so they get the same amount of water. I typically water about once a week. I am new to all this, but I'll give you all the info I got. -- I bought these trees this spring. I bought the semi-dwarf Eureka lemon tree in February, and the full-sized Navel orange tree in April. When I bought the orange tree, it had fruit starting to grow. It didn't grow, and instead just got yellow with these awful brown spots. There were probably about 20-25 oranges on the tree all told. I have since taken most of them off the tree except for a couple. -- I am in San Diego, about 5 miles from the ocean. It's been an unseasonably cool summer. Temperatures have rarely gotten above 80 degrees and have never gotten below 45 since I got these trees. -- The trees get about 7 hours of sunlight a day. They are on the west side of my house. -- The drainage is good, not great. Definitely acceptable. -- The tree itself seems healthy. It's not growing very fast and has a few yellow leaves but overall it's a nice green color. The fruit itself looks terrible though. I'm hung up on this mostly because the lemons appear to be perfectly healthy and the oranges look terrible. I'm not desperate to get fruit right away, but I would love to know if I'm doing something wrong so I can fix it for future years. Thanks for your insight guys! I don't know what I'd do without some experts in the online world! |

By the way, here is a picture of the tree... |
I wish I had some info for you, but that looks like nothing I've seen. Maybe Dr. Manners will drop by and have a look. If the leaves of the tree look fine, then my only guess would be some kind of fertilization or spray damage - something that was harmless or even beneficial to the plant as a whole but damaging to the fruit. Maybe it got a pest spray before you bought it. Again, take this with a grain of salt because I don't really know. |

Hi,I would just remove all the fruits and see how it goes next year...Make sure the trees get plenty of nitrogen when setting fruit and the fruit is growing....I have been feeding my garden trees elemental magnesium...It looks like wire wool..If you can get it...sprinkle it around the drip line every two months when growing....my trees in the garden are going nuts! It also improves the skins of the citrus...smooth clean skins. |
- Posted by laidbackdood auck NZ (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 4:03
P.s i could be totally barking up the wrong tree here but i wonder about those blocks you have around the tree there too. citrus like acid and they could be leaching something into the soil(but i could be full of .... Mind)...I would remove those and dont have any mulch up against the trunk either. |

A Bit Disappointed
They run a tad short, was lucky I had to order 1/2 size up. Also, the black trim around the sides of the soles came completely unattached on one of the shoes. These were for my 14 yr. old son who has worn them twice and they are already falling apart. I definitely would not pay full price for these. Even the sell price seems high now that they are falling apart

Invitations to the performers chosen from online music submissions are set to begin rolling out soon, but today, the first artists coming to Cincy for this September's MidPoint Music Festival were announced. Below are the initial 20 national artists booked for the fest, which runs Sept. 22-24 in various venues in Downtown and Over-the-Rhine, as well as a few more acts for the MidPoint Indie Summer series on Fountain Square.
Any musical act interested in performing at this September's 10th anniversary installment of the big MidPoint Music Festival has just a few days left to turn in submissions for consideration if they haven't already. The official deadline is this coming Monday night (May 16) at 11:59 p.m. Miss it and miss out.
Bands and solo performers interested in being considered for a performance slot at this year's MidPoint Music Festival will have a chance to do so at a discounted rate this Thursday. If you can get your entry in sometime within Thursday's 24 hours, MidPoint and Sonicbids are offering a one-time return to the cheaper "early-bird" fees available briefly when submissions opened. Instead of the usual $25, registration will be only $15.
This week's CityBeat features the announcement of the first several weeks' worth of headliners for PNC's MidPoint Indie Summer Series. The free, every-Friday concert series on Fountain Square again features an interesting array of out-of-town artists and Cincinnati music's finest. The concerts begin June 3 with local Electronica duo You, You're Awesome headlining a typically eclectic night of provocative sounds. It's good prep for 2011's MidPoint Music Festival this fall. The Indie Summer kick-off is your first chance to get MidPoint '11 tickets — MPMFers can buy three-day passes at a discounted rate while they last at the events this summer.
Below, take a look/listen to the performers announced so far.
Though it feels like we're just getting over the glorious musical hangover caused by the 2010 edition of the MidPoint Music Festival, today marks the beginning of MPMF's 2011 cycle. Starting today, artists interested in performing at this year's MidPoint can begin submitting press kits.
Three of the finest music festivals in the region — spring's Nelsonville Music Festival in northeastern Ohio, summer's Forecastle Festival in Louisville and Cincy's own MidPoint Music Festival, returning Sept. 22-24 — have made recent announcements concerning their 2011 events.
OK, so which Babylonian weather deity did we collectively blow like a $5 crack whore to assure us of an entire weekend without getting firehosed by the kind of precipitation generally associated with tropical monsoons? Because I want to get his number in our rolodex for next year. Another absolutely gorgeous night for another spectacular evening of musical diversion and awesomeness. That's right, awesomeness.
I got a late start to the final night of MPMP 2010, and by the time I got to the Main Event, Natural Child only had a few songs left in their set. Having just turned old enough to get into bars a few weeks ago, it was the first time I'd stepped into the Main Event and I was happy with what I saw and heard. Housing Rock & Roll at its roots, the club featured a lot of plaid and, from what I heard, three damn good bands.
When I was 12 or 13, my dad told me a joke that has, over the years, become one of my all time favorites. A drunk is standing in a doorway to get out of the rain, and a guy and a woman are standing on the corner in front of him, waiting for the light to change. The guy leans over to the woman and says, "Tickle your ass with a feather?" And the woman says, "What did you say?" The guy replies, "Typically nasty weather." The woman laughs, they strike up a conversation and walk off together. The drunk thinks, "That was amazing! I'm gonna try that!" Pretty soon, a woman stops on the corner, the drunk lurches out of the doorway, sidles up to the woman and says, "Hey! Shove a feather up your ass?" The woman says, "I beg your pardon?" And the drunk says, "Fucking rain."
When I looked out of my window at around 4:30 this afternoon, I thought about that joke, particularly the punch line. Luckily, the rain passed through relatively quickly and cleared to a large extent, giving us a nearly perfect night two of MidPoint 2010.
As the weather reports began to shape up for the end of this week, I was almost convinced that we would be breaking the current drought by doing the reliable MidPoint rain dance, which apparently consists of scheduling the weekend and saying the word "MidPoint." But, miracle of miracles, it did not piss down rain on the first night of MidPoint (although it was hot enough to feel as though we'd been rained on). After doing the Australian crawl from the Lodge Bar to the Blue Wisp last year, however, I'm not complaining. At all. It was a glorious night, and Thursday's bands provided the perfect soundtrack.
