We're thinking of putting our house on the market in a year or so and are going through the list of repairs needed - of which there are several - and it's going to get pricey. It's a 1960's home. Most houses in the neighborhood are 1,400 to 1,800 square feet and many have only done very minor upgrades. Ours is 2,700 with an oversized lot and has a lot of upgrades. Though the size should make it attractive to buyers we already know that that will most likely not have a major impact on price because of the neighborhood.
The family room is 25' by 25'. The carpeting in it was in beautiful condition until Christmas time when there was a fireplace mishap... My husband decided to light the fireplace, and lit a premade log. He then decided to put a real log on top of it - big mistake - and it started popping, throwing embers right over the top of the screen leaving small burns - Yikes! We currently have area rugs to hide the damage. We have a leftover piece of the carpeting that we could possibly have it repaired with. Does that work well or do we need to replace it completely? I'm sure hoping it can be repaired successfully because that's a big chunk of carpeting. Have any of you done this or do you think that we need to bite the bullet & replace it to sell? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Based on how you described the neighborhood, I would suspect that a good repair of the areas would be your best bet to maximize profit. BTW - many buyers do lift up rugs to see what you are hiding. |

I think it depends on how the carpet looks otherwise. You said the carpet is in beautiful condition except for that piece. Is the carpet dated or an odd color? If so, I would replace. You could bring your carpet sample into a place and get an estimate to fix. Depending on cost, it might be almost as expensive to just get new carpet for the entire room. Depending on the burn size, you might just try to trim the carpet in the burn areas. I had carpet burns in a previous house from some embers that popped out. Our carpet had a light shag. I was able to trim out a few of the carpet strands to remove the burns without noticeably affecting the pattern on the carpet or starting a run. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you might be able to do the same. |

If it's a decent quality rug a rug company ought to be able to repair it so you can not see the burns. I know my parents had a rug that was less than a year old. A iron my mother was using had it's cord catch fire in the room where the rug was. It left a nasty looking burn mark. Mom called the place where she purchased the rug. The guys came out and fixed it. You couldn't tell after they did it or 10 years later where the burn mark was. |

Just like adellabedella said, if your carpet has a thick enough shag, you can try cutting out a few of the strands here and there. Since you have a leftover piece available - it is very possible a professional carpet person could use that piece and repair your carpet. We had a 4"x4" area replaced where the puppy had chewed it. The guy spent about 1/2 hour on it, and charged me $25. It looks great. You would never know anything happened there, it blended perfectly. Definitely a whole lot cheaper and less time consuming than replacing the whole thing. |
What is under the carpeting? Since it's a 1960s house you may have hardwood under there. If so, it's best to remove the carpet and refinish the floors. |
Thanks everyone. Billl - "BTW - many buyers do lift up rugs to see what you are hiding." I'd never do that to anyone since I'd throw a hissy if it were me, lol. The carpet is a thick plush in a light tan so I think if I can get it repaired it'd be fine. The house is on a concrete slab so unfortunately there's no hardwood underneath. Before it happened I didn't realize how quickly my hubby & I could move, lol. We scampered like crazy people trying to scoop up the embers but the damage was already done. I tried trimming the spots but unfortunately they'd gone too deep. When we bought the house the carpet was absolutely grossly disgusting. The former oweners were relatives and were giving us a good price so we didn't dicker. A friend suggested a company that does restoration cleaning that he'd used very successfully for his rental properties. We figured if he could get it even semi clean at least we wouldn't be afraid to walk on it in our bare feet and could put off replacing it for a little while. I couldn't believe how perfect he got it - It looked like brand new! I just checked out his website and he also does repairs - Yay! I think I'll have him look at it and see what he thinks. I've got a 12' x 2 1/2' piece that he could use. Guess I'll see what he says. |

Repair if you can to cut back on cost. But don't repair instead of doing it right. Remember that someone else is going to be moving in, and probably getting an inspection. Make sure all repairs are done up to code, and if they require it, get a permit first. |
Well, it turns out that the carpet repair can't be done & look right. Guess we'll be replacing it, darn it. |
You can probably get a remnant if it is just one room. |

Cheap carpet that is clean, fresh & new is better for resale than expensive carpet that isn't all of the above. I'd shop around for the best deal you can find (cheap & neutral!) & install it RIGHT before you list...last thing you do...so it's sparkling clean & spiffy for showings. |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 15:05
Totally agree with stinky-gardener. When I moved in here (started as a renter), they'd redone the stairs and landing with $1.68 sqy stuff from HD. It looked fine and held up for five years no problem before I got around to replacing all the upstairs carpet. |

Other Pets at River Edge Farm Horse Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dillon, a Lyles Arabian/Other/Unknown was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Arabian/Other/Unknown for sale in Lyles, or seeking a Arabian/Other/Unknown from a breeder in Lyles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lyles 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 Lyles 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 Arabian/Other/Unknown breeders who help with Arabian/Other/Unknown rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lyles paves the way for another one to be saved.

Do a search for trinket macros and look for one that contains codes to turn off (and back on) sound events. I don't think this will help your day-to-day activity but you can add macros to your main spamming abilities to remove the sound.

During Christmas time between Its a small world and Peter Pans flight. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lolololololololololol
i havent been since around christmas time and when we were there santa was there but in the corner in between the package pick up and city hall there is a little bench with a gazebo over it and a ceiling fan. its quiet and a good breeze.
"To all that come to this happy place WELCOME!"
its not just for the young, but for the young at heart.
the cave on TSI is peaceful when there are no shrieking little kids in it
The trouble with quotes on the Internet is one never knows if they are genuine. Abraham Lincoln
Completely agree!!!!! There is hardly anyone there!!! Although, don't go during the Halloween Party.
Another very peaceful spot is the little walkway as you went through the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station. There are posters on the side and the rocks overlook the lagoon. I've watced fireworks there and absolutely loved it.
Everybody Needs A Little Spark of Imagination...
I used to love watching cartoons in Exposition Hall by myself. Not sure if it's still open. I agree on the Toontown/Tomorrowland walkway being quiet, but another good place to relax is hopping on the Railroad and riding around for a while, or sitting at the Railroad Station on the second floor.
You can still get back into the Expo Hall and look around (never anyone back there) but they no longer officially show cartoons etc. Now it's used for corporate parties etc. When it's not in use though there are some great wooden props to get your picture with (the sort you put your face in etc.).
I have to agree with all the previous folks who said the walkway between Tomorrowland and Toontown. Rarely traversed and a great little "away from the crowds" area to move from one end to the other.
At night though, my favorite spot is definitely the Swiss Family Tree House. Especially either before Wishes begins or right after it's over. Very few folks venture up there after dark and not only is it a great view but it is very peaceful!
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
The first street (the name escapes me) on the right when walking up Main Street in the MK toward the castle from the train station. There are some nice tables and chairs at the end of the street where you can sit and listen to the music lessons going on up in the second floor establishments.
I guess it's one of those spots everyone rushes by on their way down Main Street- I've rarely encountered more than a couple people back that way in late April and early May anyway.
Popcorn and a large Coke for me too, please.
Another vote for the walkway between ToonTown and Tomorrowland.
Also, we found a quiet spot in Adventureland, just near the Dole whip place. It was shady and cool, but I'm not sure if we could find it again!
As of the last few weeks, at least, you can't get back there to where the cartoons were any more. Which is a real bummer because I've been wanting to take a closer look at the exhibits on the wall.
Never hung out here but someplace that looks like it'd be pretty nice is the little courtyard tucked in behind the queue/entrance for POTC.
oh I completely agree!!! There is a bench that is made out of stone by the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse. I have a very fond memory of sitting there in the shade drinking milk that my dad got me. That bench is very relaxing and fun because its just fun to look around there!

I was reccomended by someone on the landscape forum to also post this here for more help. I need more room to grow my tomatoes, peppers, cukes,eggplants on as I hope to breed/hybridize them. The hill is not really steep but I have never grown them on hills in rows so I have questions and would appreciate any comments or people's experience on the topic. I have started weeding it out but should I create barriers and layers to make it flatter? Will the soil erode or wash away if it rains? Again, any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks ~mike |

Build simple terraces. It will help hold in the soil and water, but retain the character of the hillside. |

I love my terraced beds. You can put up a board, bang in some stakes to hold it in place, and put improved soil behind it for planting your tomatoes. Start with a few beds this year and expand. Just make sure you always have good places to set your feet! |
Here is a link that might be useful: my website
The above suggestions are good. The steepness has a lot to do with how dramatic a solution you will need. You will want to slow down the velocity of flowing water. A relatively simple barrier to slow the velocity of flowing water is to place logs in very shallow trenches (just deep enough to keep the logs from rolling down your hill) and also secured with stakes. There are also lots of fancy products you can buy if necessary. |

My vegies are on a 45degree slope. When my house was put in the leach field was put in about 8 to 10 feet below and the fill was just as it was dozed and fell to the lower level. Last year I decided I wanted a few Toms and Peppers 18 each LOL but nowheres to put them where they would get much sun except the hillside. My answer lottsa stones from an old wall. Carry up the hill and terrace then fill in it gave me 2 to 4 feet by 60. This year its harder the carry is getting longer on my 2nd tier. Now I have to wheel the fill down the hill to the leach field shovel into 5 gallon buckets climb up on the 1st tier dump ugh. I have room for 4 or 5 tiers but at least by next year I should be able to put a temp ramp from the side hill and eliminate the shovel bucket routine. You got good answers from the others for the easiest fixes but this post is just to show no slope is to steep. Regards Scott |
My house sits atop a Knoll, Property is full of shale rock and goes downward slope. Like others you can become very inventive as to how to terrace little areas on your "hill". One of my favorite is to reuse cereal boxes, oatmeal boxes, catfood boxes (you get the idea) Dig a hole put a little miracle grow soil in container than plant the plant or shrub, fill remainder up with soil. I use a lot of newspaper around my plants in the beginning to keep water and soil from running off. Box eventually deteriorates In time I might cover the newspaper with bark mulch, cut grass clippings, or whatever. Has worked very well for me. made for some very nice soil-----also can add ground cover if you are planting perinnels, myrtle is a fast grower and vinca puts out a lavender flower in my zone 5. Good Luck |

New Good Practice Guide: Community Mobilisation through Women's Groups to Improve the Health of Mothers and Babies
11 May 2011
The Big
Lottery Fund Strategic Award partners, CIHD, Women and Children First (UK), the Diabetic
Association of Bangladesh (BADAS) and Ekjut (India) have produced a Good
Practice Guide on the use
of community
mobilisation through women's groups to improve the health of mothers and
babies. This is part of our five year BLF funded project on improving maternal, newborn and child health
in low-income countries.
The guide and accompanying resources can be accessed below.
Good Practice Guide: Community Mobilisation through Women's Groups
to Improve the Health of Mothers and Babies
This Good Practice Guide describes an approach that has the potential to reduce
maternal and newborn deaths and successfully address maternal and newborn
health problems. It is based on a project working through women's
groups in India and Bangladesh, using a participatory learning and action cycle
to mobilise community action to improve the health of mothers and babies.
Women's Group Facilitation Manuals
Women's group
facilitators are provided with a tailored manual to help them take the women's
groups through a participatory learning and action cycle. An important
aspect of this approach is supporting the women to evaluate the work they have
done in their groups. The manuals are tailored for each project's
specific context and aims, and are translated into local languages.
Picture Cards and Flipcharts
These tools use pictures drawn by local artists who depict various local
maternal, newborn and child health scenarios. The women's group
facilitators use these tools to help communities raise awareness of their
health issues. The picture cards and flipcharts are also used to
illustrate appropriate healthcare practices, including when to seek
professional care to ensure safe delivery and care for the newborn.
Have a look at example picture cards from Bangladesh and India and the Bangladesh flipchart.

Hi i have the same problem with my daughter one month old. only ny night after breast feeding she sounds rattling and difficult for her to sleep. She is fine and acitve from morning and by night this happens. any advise on this ?posted 08/17/2011 by jermet1727
I have the same prob, i first noticed it when my daughter was 4 weeks old now she's 7 weeks (thought she was catching a cold). Doctors said it was normal and i should just use saline drops when ever i hear her breathing heavy, it helps but then there's the rattling after the mucus has softened. hmph. The docs said that she would pass it thru stool or vomit which she did, i thought we were done but that only lasted two days now were back to the drops, keeping her elevated when she sleeps seems to help. During the day she's fine i hear the mucus on her chest but its at night that shes congested, neither of us get any GOOD sleep until morning.posted 08/03/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I am haveing the same problem. my daughter 5 months now, would breath so loudly and it scared me but the doctors said get a cool mist vaporizer and it did help. the noise went away. but as of two days agao its back and i am worried, is it just 5 months old? i hope it dies stop by the 6th monthposted 06/17/2011 by blackstarvb24

My son had the same thing when he was born. I was told by his pediatrician that it was normal and would go away on it's own. He is now 9 months old and it has been gone since he was probably 5 or 6 months.posted 03/24/2011 by AKMeehan
I have twins and only one of my babies sounds congested. Looks like its normal. She is 4 months now and sounds a lot better then when she was born. Doctor recommended using a humidifier. Vaporizers are good, but if they are not cleaned right they can also spread a lot of germs.posted 03/04/2011 by alexgarcia1

Is there such a thing as casually hardcore? {WoW}
Feb 17th 2012 2:00PM Here is how I play:
M-F: When I get home from work I log in, I run random heroics on my main and my two alts I like. If I have not done the LFR I do it. I will usually run random heroics even if I am VP capped because I enjoy them. I do that for a few hours, then I will go farm some old instances for mounts and transmog items.
Sa-Su: I usualy will play up an alot for fun, maybe farm some more old things.
I really consider myself casual even though I put in a lot of hours. M-F I gerneally plam fomr about 6PM to 11PM each day and weekends I play form arround 4PM to 10PM.
Ready Check: Tiered raid progression vs. raid accessibility {WoW}
Feb 10th 2012 5:53PM Isn't the point of the LFR suposed to be the intro mode now for each tier? So they don't have to to have into bosses in normal and heroic? You get the into mode version in LFR with not a lot of ability to watch for. Then if you want more challenge hit up the normal / heroic?
Or am I just missing something?
Breakfast Topic: Are you a WoW cross-dresser? {WoW}
Jan 7th 2012 2:00PM For me WoW was the first MMO where I played a female main. Before that in UO, and EQ I played male mains, I had a female alt here or there but never played them a lot. However in WoW the males look *UGLY* so I rolled the only ones I wanted to look at when i started.
Breakfast Topic: Are heroics really heroic? {WoW}
Dec 29th 2011 11:14AM You and I have very differnet memories of BC then. I worked the faction up (before they dropped it to honored) for all the heroics on my healer (Paladin back then). I healed them all the only one I ever had problems in was later when they released MgT and then only if I had an under geared tank.
When I healed the Cata heroics at launch it was HORRIBLE. On top of that back in BC we did a heroic we got an epic, now all we had was a stupid blue. The effort was not wortht he reward, twice as hard at BC and nothing worth while out of it.
Watch Cataclysm's ending cinematic {WoW}
Dec 1st 2011 2:30AM Saying they are "mortal" is like saying that a Military Super Carrier is jsut a boat. They are still dragons, and quite potent ones.
Breakfast Topic: Do you play other games besides WoW? {WoW}
Mar 7th 2011 9:24AM I used to not play any other games but WoW back from BC - WoTLK. But with cata, I don't enjoy WoW like I used to. So I find myself playing Champions Online, and even going back and playing EverQuest 2 again.
Breakfast Topic: Do you save stuff for nostalgic reasons? {WoW}
Feb 6th 2011 1:33PM Oh ya I do save thi9ngs I like. I also hunt arround for sets I like to hold on to.

Sep 20th 2010 10:50AM Okay, this makes the 2nd collum that this person has written I disagree with.
First off if your not going to use one of the higher end Core i7 9xx series your better off going with the Core i7 875K which is about $40 more then the 930, is running at a faster speed and is unlocked to boot.
Second if this system is primarly for wow, a Core i5 680 (which is clocked at 3.6GHz) will do you better for about the same price, WoW really is not multi-threaded well enough to beneifit from more then 2 cores. Or you could go with the i5 655K which is unlocked.
Next a Gigabyte board? Seriously.... How about an ASUS P7P55D-E or MSI P55-GD85

Since 1986, 7th Street Tavern, formerly known as Champps Americana, has served up burgers and classic American dishes, satiating sports fans and families with a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Amid the sunlit dining room, diners at wooden tabletops have views of 25 TVs broadcasting sports games, competing with a cluster of arcade games for eyes' attention. Chefs cater to taste buds by plumping up pastas with chicken, shrimp, and vegetables and piling rolls with beef patties, barbecued pulled pork, and spicy buffalo chicken. Behind the bar, bartenders whip up specialty cocktails and margaritas and fill goblets with an expansive selection of draft beers and wine. The bar and grill draws guests with regular specials and events throughout the week, including daily happy hours, Thursday-night trivia, and Sunday brunch. Every Tuesday, the restaurant serves up free meals to children, as a magician saunters table to table, entertaining kids with tricks and balloon art, crafting replacement siblings on request.
The year 1927 saw Babe Ruth's Yankees dominate pro baseball and the precursor to Big Louie's Bar and Grill—Main Street Tavern—open in Minneapolis. In addition to depicting athletes from that bygone era, the Big Louie's menu catalogs an array of traditional American bar and grill fare. From boneless wings to fish 'n' chips, the cuisine roster has even more depth than the famed Yankees lineup of '27. The restaurant further establishes its entertainment value by hosting karaoke and bingo and by not allowing recitations of real-estate-law books.
In 1960, James Welsch's grandfather purchased a then 56-year-old tavern, breathing new life to an old establishment and kicking off what would be a longstanding staple in the Arden Hills community, Three Welsch generations later, the eatery—now more than a century old—still dishes up a menu of comfort food ranging from housemade pizzas to open-faced meatloaf sandwiches. In addition to serving up drinks at the bar, the establishment regularly hosts live comedy events, including improv-style readings of the daily specials.
Mirage Bar and Grill divides its confines to house a restaurant, bar, and club for nights out on the town. Even the kitchen splits its menu between American, Mexican, and Vietnamese cuisines, with such dishes as tacos topped with mango salsa and burgers smothered in cheese. On select nights, the bar and club entertain guests with a live DJ spinning tunes,dancing, karaoke, and games of bingo so guests don't spend their evenings playing monotonous rounds of I Spy.
Steel Toe Brewery's founder was a home brewer, fermenting beer in his bedroom overnight, until the gurgling sounds of the carboy began to disturb his wife's sleep. Origin stories like these are just one of the attractions of Taproom Tours' brewery tours, which also explore the Belgian yeast of Boom Island Brewing, celebrate session ales at 612 Brew, and enable sud savoring in the wood-paneled taproom at Indeed Brewing Company. Visitors taste sample brews at each location, and, helped along by a knowledgeable guide, explore the breweries' inner workings until they have learned every yeast strain's first name and favorite sports team.
In 1996, the Pro Billiards Tour declared Jimmy Wetch to be the fifth-best billiards player in the world. Now, the pro circulates among the 20 emerald felt plots at Jimmy's Pro Billiards, chatting with fellow billiards enthusiasts. At 9-foot and 7-foot Diamond and Gold Crown tables, players sink colorful spheres, and snooker tables encourage them to yell "snooker" as loud as they can. The staccato snap of the cue against a ball rhythmically fills the 10,000 feet of airy, high-ceilinged space. In the kitchen, the staff slices deli meats and pairs hand-pattied burgers with hand-cut french fries and beers with manually placed bubbles.

Leveraging Advanced Web Features in Responsive Design
A terrific case study in progressive enhancement: starting with a good ol' form that works for everybody and then adding on features like Ajax, SVG, the History API …the sky's the limit.
A terrific case study in progressive enhancement: starting with a good ol' form that works for everybody and then adding on features like Ajax, SVG, the History API …the sky's the limit.
A really nice explanation by Todd Kloots of Twitter's use of progressive enhancement with Ajax and the HTML5 History API. There's even a shout for Hijax in there.
A great step-by-step tutorial from Brad on developing a responsive site with a Content First mindset.
Scott walks through the code and thinking behind the conditional loading pattern on The Boston Globe site. This is such a useful and valuable pattern!
I really like the thinking that's gone into the design of Github, as shown in this presentation. It's not really about responsive design as we commonly know it, but boy, is it a great deep dive into the importance of URLs and performance.
A superb post by Dan on the bigger picture of what's wrong with hashbang URLs. Well written and well reasoned.
Tim Bray calmly explains why hash-bang URLs are a very bad idea.
This is what we call "tight coupling" and I thought that anyone with a Computer Science degree ought to have been taught to avoid it.
Excellent, excellent analysis of how URLs based on fragment identifier (a la Twitter/Gawker/Lifehawker) expose an unstable tottering edifice that crumbles at the first JavaScript error.
So why use a hash-bang if it's an artificial URL, and a URL that needs to be reformatted before it points to a proper URL that actually returns content?
Out of all the reasons, the strongest one is "Because it's cool". I said strongest not strong.
This looks like an interesting approach to web analytics: a JavaScript function pings the service every 10 seconds allowing for a near realtime overview.
Remy teaches non-techies how to use jQuery in a responsible way.
An excellent overview of Ajax and optimisation.
Download a PDF of PPK's slides from his JavaScript workshop at Fundamentos Web. There's some good advice contained therein.
A wonderful example of why the patent system is so totally b0rked and completely unsuited to software. Someone patent Ajax (or Remote Scripting, if you prefer) back in 2001. Un. Bel. Eeeevable.
Mike has published his notes from day one of @media Ajax in London.
Shawn at the W3C wants feedback on the ARIA working draft, particularly "feedback on host language embedding, that is, how ARIA is implemented in HTML, XHTML, SVG, and other host languages." If you don't chime in now, don't bitch later.
A good overview of ARIA from the mighty Gez Lemon. There seems to be quite a bit of overlap with some HTML5 ideas here.
Ignore the attention-grabbing headline. Brothercake is something more nuanced here (and he's backing it up with examples).
I guess there's a Chinese version of Bulletproof Ajax (nicely spotted, Nate). I would have thought this is exactly the kind of thing my publisher would want to tell me about.
An open source project for parsing hCards to add to sign-up forms.
Steve Faulkner gives a rundown of the current state of play between screen readers and Ajax.
This is a good straightforward hands-on explanation of Ajax: succinct and clear.
The slides from Dan's excellent presentation on metaprogramming JavaScript.
PPK delivers his report on the excellent @media Ajax conference.
A browser-based IM client from AOL. You heard it here first folks.
If you're in Dublin on the evening of the 8th of May, come 'round to Bono's hotel to hear me natter on about Ajax.
Another fun toy that uses Twitter's API, this one from Richard Pope.
A collection of scripts. There might be some good stuff here but use with care and discretion.
Christian talks to Aral and Niqui about Flash and accessibility.

Rae McDowell, who left Cole in the early Nineties because of gang violence and still misses her big Victorian in north Cole, remembers a time when Cole had a strong neighborhood identity, when there were even block parties that didn't revolve around illegal drugs.
Edward Hendrix, who owns the only black grocery store in Cole and has lived in the neighborhood for 53 years, remembers when it was safer. "People cared back in the day," he says. "You could leave your house open and nobody fucked with it. Now, you can lock your door and somebody'll still fuck with it, while your neighbor next door says, 'I ain't seen nothin'.'"
The buzz in Cole these days--among its residents who care about its future--isn't over the coalition or the consortium. It's over the long-vacant Wyatt School, which was recently approved by the Denver school board as the site for Denver's first Edison Project charter elementary school, a for-profit venture.
Luring Edison to Cole was the brainchild of Chuck Phillips, who bought the Denver Tramway Company car barn several years ago and converted part of it into a vocational center for the Community College of Denver. Inside the huge building, which also houses his daughter's appliance supply business and a vehicle storage company, are enormous hangar-like rooms. Wyatt sits across the street, and Phillips hopes to convert some of his space to accommodate the charter school.
The only catch now is the $3 million to $4 million his New Cole Economic Development Corporation must raise in two years to refurbish the 1889 school building. He's optimistic.
"Cole has grown and bloomed in the last three years," Phillips says. "It has made a tremendous turnaround. I have no idea of seeing this neighborhood fail."
But many of the people in Cole who care about such things believe that the future of the neighborhood is in economic development--only 8 percent of the neighborhood is commercial. Cole Coalition leaders argue that they've been trying to focus on that all along. And others admit that economic development is going to be quite difficult. "The part that's been done was the easiest part," says Father Mark Pranaitis. "Economic development is a whole lot harder."
Pranaitis and others wonder if Cole can get over the hump and if all the changes--largely cosmetic--are the first step in luring homeowners and businesses or merely a facade for a neighborhood going nowhere fast.
"Cole was a factory town," says Pranaitis. "That was a history of the neighborhood, and you can't escape your history. Neighborhoods are what they are. It's very difficult to take Cole and make it Curtis Park. It never was."

Hello! I realize that Amorphophallus bulbs need to be big enough flower, but once they are flowering size, do they bloom every year? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 5:56
They're not actually "bulbs", they're tubers (or corms). You need to understand the life cycle of amorphs. The tuber withers/dies each season and is replaced by a new one. The leaf produces the nutrients for the new tuber. The bigger the leaf, the bigger the tuber it produces. And the bigger the tuber, the bigger the leaf it produces in the next season. So you progressively get a bigger tuber and a bigger leaf. Once it reaches flowering size the reserves stored in the tuber go into the flower. There's usually enough left in the tuber to start a new leaf after the flower withers. Then it depends on how well that cycle of tuber and leaf feeding each other goes. Often the new tuber doesn't reach flowering size before the end of the season. You need to feed them well to have them flowering in consecutive years. |
so well explained tropic !! i would just add..the frequency of flowering depends on the amorph.. konjac for example once reaching flowering maturity flowers every yr.. on other side,titanum as i understand..will flower only maybe every 3-5 yrs.. im a newbie to amorphs..but certainly learning alot from the likes of posters here..much thanks !!! ? jardin..??what amorph are u growing? good luck to ya !!! |

If produce hadn't had so many outbreaks in recent years I would feel for the produce industry. Because they haven't on their own, taken the inititive to ensure produce safety, Government had to step in. Now they reap the benefit of it. There is more to come. As growers, you should know, you reap what you so. You didn't want regulation, there wasn't any but lots of outbreaks so here is what you get. Like it or get out.

Owner of Lever House, Lure Fishbar, Brasserie 44, and Chinatown Brasserie, eating the mutton chop ($45) at Keens Steakhouse, 72 West Thirty-sixth Street; 212-947-3636.
That's a lot of meat.
I'm a major carnivore, and maybe eight or ten years ago, a friend of mine took me here and the place just astonished me. Great steaks, a phenomenal mutton chop, and it's just one of those places you don't see a lot of anymore.
What's the best way to order at a new restaurant?
I usually ask the waiter what the most popular dish is. Most people ask what's good, but that's kind of a loaded question. If you ask them what the number-one-selling dish is, that tends to be more compelling than what they think is good.

During the 2003 State of the Union Address, U.S. President George W. Bush announced his vision for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a five-year Emergency Plan designed to provide $15 billion to address HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care, most heavily concentrated in 15 focus countries. The strategy for preventing seven million new infections focuses on sexual transmission and draws on the "ABC" (Abstain, Be Faithful, use Condoms) approach, with strong emphasis on abstinence for youth and fidelity in marriage (accompanied by testing). Consistent use of condoms is promoted for those most at risk for transmission of HIV (OGAC, 2005).
This report demonstrates that the building blocks of the ABC approach have existed for many years and were implemented in independent ways in various countries. Programs aiming to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV2 quickly promoted these three behaviors in different combinations and using different messages, as will be illustrated in this report.
This report was developed through review of the early literature on HIV/AIDS policies and programs in non-industrialized countries and of media material promoting prevention of heterosexual transmission of HIV in those countries. Material from the early days of the epidemic was difficult to obtain. Most materials were long ago archived or are in personal files in "basements" as some respondents indicated. While the report focuses on the experiences of three countries, it also examines the early responses of international organizations to HIV in many other developing countries. Additional data were obtained using a snowball sampling technique through which the authors contacted people who had worked in HIV/AIDS programs in the 1980s and early 1990s to learn more about historic HIV/AIDS prevention strategies. The pool of respondents is not intended to be exhaustive, but the respondents provide important voices of those working in the developing world at the beginning of the epidemic.

He worked on the Uganda National AIDS Control Plan in 1998, and led all support activities in Uganda from 1987 to 1994.
- This paper focuses on prevention programs addressing heterosexual transmission of HIV, the dominant mode of transmission in Africa and most of the developing world.
- The HIV prevention programs of industrialized nations in the early years of the epidemic tended to be directed toward so-called high-risk populations (gay men and injection drug users); the experiences of countries such as Thailand, which did not base its early prevention strategy on an ABC approach, are also not included.

Two (2) Valpo engineers were named 2 of 69 winners out of 341 applicants for the Tau Beta Pi Scholarship for undergraduate study during the 2005-2006 academic year. They will each receive a cash award of $2,000 for their senior year of engineering study.
VU's CoE was 1 of 10 out of 341 colleges of engineering with multiple winners and the only college of engineering in the state of Indiana. The ten universities were Valpo, Bucknell U, U of Missouri-Rolla, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, U of Florida, Kansas State U, Louisiana Tech, Ohio U, Virginia Tech, and UC-Berkeley.A Valpo engineer was named 1 of 39 winners out of 234 applicants for the Tau Beta Pi Scholarship for undergraduate study during the 2003-2004 academic year. He will receive a cash award of $2000 for his senior year of engineering study.
Another Valpo engineer was 1 of 35 winners out of 195 applicants for the Tau Beta Pi Fellowship for graduate study during the 2003-2004 academic year. He will receive a cash stipend of $10,000 toward his graduate work.
Only 8 universities in the country had a TBP Scholar and Fellow: Valpo, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, Syracuse, BYU, Purdue, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, and UC-Berkeley.
In 2002, The Tau Beta Pi Association, Inc., the national Engineering Honor Society, informed Valparaiso University's Indiana Delta Chapter that it had been awarded a $500 Scholarship for sustained excellent performance in membership and project activities. The Indiana Delta Chapter was the only winning chapter in Indiana. It was one of 30 nationally given to 23 chapters out of the 225 collegiate chapters nationwide.
In 2003, our Indiana Delta Chapter received two $500 scholarships from the TBP Association national headquarters. The first was the Secretary's Commendation Scholarship for "outstanding documentation and service to the Association." Our chapter was one of 14 nationally to receive this award. The second was the Chapter Project Scholarship for "outstanding service to the Association." Our chapter was one of 18 nationally to be recognized. Of the 228 currently active chapters across the nation, the Valpo Indiana Delta Chapter was the only Chapter recognized from the State of Indiana. (Results for 2004 will be available in October 2004.)
Other Tau Beta Pi scholars from Valpo include:
Aaron Gin- 1999-2000
Paul Krause- 1997-1998
Brad Natzke- 1994-1995
P.J. Hahn- 1992-1993
D.G. Schumacker- 1990-1991
Valparaiso University's College of Engineering had two winners and one honorable mention for the prestigious 2003 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Awards . These awards carry a stipend of $27,500 for each fellow per calendar year and an annual cost-of-education allowance of $10,500, paid to the fellow's institution in lieu of tuition and fees. In the Midwest, the only engineering institutions with as many or more winners than Valpo were Case Western Reserve - 7, U. of Iowa - 6, U. of Illinois - 6, Purdue - 5, U. of Kentucky - 4, Ohio State – 4, U. of Michigan – 4, Wisconsin – 3, Michigan Tech – 3, Notre Dame – 3, Iowa State – 3, Minnesota – 2, Northwestern – 2, VALPARAISO – 2 , and the University of Dayton – 2.

Evergreen, Trees
From the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Himalayas. These, the true cedars, are among the most widely grown conifers in Western gardens. Cedars bear needles in tufted clusters. Cone scales, like those of firs (Abies), fall from the tree, leaving a spiky core behind. Male catkins produce prodigious amounts of pollen that may cover you with yellow dust on a windy day.
Plant in deep, well-drained soil. All species are deep rooted and drought-tolerant once established. Some botanists contend that the several Mediterranean species are just geographic variants of a single species.
Native to North Africa. Slow to moderate growth to 60 ft. or taller. Open, angular growth in youth. Branches usually get too long and heavy on young trees unless tips are pinched out or cut back; branches of any age tend to break in heavy snows. Growth is naturally less open with age. Less spreading than other true cedars, but still needs a 30-ft. circle. Needles, less than 1 in. long, are bluish green.
Cedrus brevifoliaNative to Cyprus. Resembles C. libani but is smaller (to 50 ft. tall and 40 ft. wide) with shorter needles (1/4–1/2 in.) and smaller cones. Sometimes considered a variety of C. libani. Very slow growing.
Native to the Himalayas. Fast growing to 80 ft., with 40-ft. spread at ground level. Lower branches sweep down to the ground, then upward. Upper branches are openly spaced, graceful. The nodding tip identifies this tree in the skyline. Softer, lighter texture than other cedars.
Planted in a small lawn, it soon overpowers the area. You can control spread of the tree by cutting new growth of side branches halfway back in late spring. This kind of pruning also makes the tree denser.
Although deodars sold by nurseries are very similar in overall form, many variations occur within a group of seedlings from scarecrow-like types to low, compact shrubs. Needles, to 2 in. long, may be green or have a blue, gray, or yellow cast.
Cedrus libaniNative Lebanon to Turkey. Eventually grows to 80 ft., but is slow growing—to 15 ft. in 15 years. Variable in growth habit. Usually a dense, narrow pyramid in youth. In young trees, needles, less than 1 in. long, are brightest green of the cedars; in old ones, they are dark gray-green. Spreads picturesquely as it matures to become a majestic skyline tree with long horizontal limbs and an irregular shape; the tree is ultimately about as broad as high. Rather scarce and expensive because of the time required to reach saleable size. Routine garden care. No pruning needed.
