Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan
In celebration of the relaunching of the last surviving wooden whaleship, Lyman Allyn presents Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan.
The exhibition, which runs from September 21 through June 8, 2014, will look at how whaling—its myths and reality, risk and reward—left its mark on Connecticut and American identity.
In the 1800s, friends and family gathered on the docks to wish "greasy luck" for a successful voyage to departing whaleships.
To most people, whales were mysterious creatures. Yet whaling was big business.
The thousands of barrels of oil the whalers brought home made ports like New London and Mystic some of the wealthiest places in the young nation, supporting a wide array of dockside occupations.
Venice Baroque Orchestra with Philippe Jaroussky
The "pure, radiant voice" (LA Times) of French countertenor sensation Philippe Jaroussky was first heard at Jorgensen in a breathtaking performance two seasons ago with Apollo's Fire.
Singing with "the tone of an angel and the virtuosity of the Devil" (La Terrasse), Jaroussky now returns to Jorgensen with one of the world's premier period instrument ensembles, the illustrious Venice Baroque Orchestra, to explore the full dramatic range of arias written for the infamous Farinelli, and the leading virtuoso castrato singers of the 18th century.
Sponsored by the Alexander-Hewitt Fund
"Jaroussky soars as effortlessly as a bird." – Gramophone

Transferring Products
A number of situations in lifetime that could make perhaps one of the most self-assured of an individual troubled in addition to doubtful in relation to how to precede future. Transferring residences will be one of them situations. Simply the chance of transferring residences might make perhaps one of the older people perspire profusely. The explanation for it is basically in which transferring residences is a breathtaking undertaking in which not simply needs purchase of lots of time. However, transferring professionals might make the complete method more favorable to the psychological peace with the person or perhaps family transferring. All the same, it is just achievable if the person or perhaps family that's transferring residences helps make the position simpler for your transferring service agency simply by following fundamental transferring products that they can require.
Should you be intending to transfer residences and also have simply just appointed transferring professionals then the next transferring products should be of fascination for you. In the event the movers in addition to packers come in to do their own do the job, they are going to demand a obvious road to come in, packers and movers Pune the things that have to be sent then get to the truck or perhaps pickup truck. Sadly, a lot of property owners do not realize this kind of in addition to have a tendency to leave this gain access to in addition to depart details in their home many messy.

I searched and searched but there aren't many references to this plant on the forums and none that I could find to clarify which mix it would work best in - gritty or the 5-1-1.
I have a plant that's growing out of the bottom of its pot so it needs some attention, asap. The kids and I all start school in about a week so I need to get all my non-maintenance plant work done asap. I am aware of the potential for skin irritation with this plant, so I'll take precautions. I didn't know that when I first bought it and repotted it but luckily had no ill effects at all. Thanks!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any good, fast-draining potting medium will do just great. I didn't know about the dermatitis associated with this plant! I've never had any problems, either. But, it's good to know all plants which may have that effect so that we can avoid rubbing our eyes, face, etc. before washing our hands. |

Thanks, I think I'll probably try the 5-1-1. From what I've read it grows pretty fast and will need to be repotted fairly often. So... that leads to the question: can I sterilize the 5-1-1 in the microwave before I bring it inside? There are some creepy-crawlies in my pine bark, they don't bother me outside but I'd prefer they don't live in my house. If I can't sterilize it in the microwave, would it be because of the perlite or lime? (meaning: if I want to sterilize, should I do the peat moss & bark before adding the other two ingredients?) |
AHM - If you feel the need to sterilize your soil, you can do it in batches in the microwave if you like. Add moist soil to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and zap it until it's hot enough to steam, then stir and do it again. That should take care of any unwanted denizens of your soil. ;-) The 5:1:1 is a very good choice. There are a few plants that are so genetically vigorous that I prefer the 5:1:1 mix even over the gritty mix - mainly because they grow so fast & need to be fully repotted yearly to get the most out of them. Did you know there's a difference between a plant's vigor and its vitality? Those that have been around the forums a while might notice my regular use of the word 'vitality' when I write. It is actually a plant's vitality that we hold any sway over, not its vigor. 'Vigor' is constant. Mother Nature provides every plant its own, predetermined level of vigor by building it into each plant. Vigor the genetic potential every plant is encoded with, and its measure is the plant's ability to resist stress and strain. Vitality, in contrast, is variable - a dynamic condition that is the measure of a plant's ability to cope with the hand it's dealt, culturally speaking. A good way to look at the difference between vigor and vitality is to look to genetics for the level of vigor and to things cultural for the plant's vitality. It's up to us to provide the cultural conditions that will ensure our plants' vitality. Vigor and vitality are distinctly different, and a good case could be made that they are unrelated, but there is no need to delve deeper into that point. A plant can be very vigorous and still be dying because of poor vitality. Far more often than not the term 'vigor' or 'vigorous' is misapplied, where in their stead the terms 'vital' or 'vitality' would have been more appropriate. Reduced vitality is what we witness when our plants are growing under stress or strain and in decline - under the effects of limiting factors. I know you've been doing some reading, so I'll leave you another link that discusses how plant growth is limited. It offers a way of looking at growing that I believe is unique - at least I've never seen growing presented as an exercise in eliminating limiting factors to the best of our ability and simply getting out of our plants' way. See what you think if you get a moment. Al |

^ Thanks, Al. I think it's possible that I've stumbled across the link you forgot to post (haha) because I know I've read a bit about the vitality vs. vigor - but if you could get it for me, I'd appreciate it. It looks like the weather (and husband getting home) will put the actual repotting on hold - the mix is outside and the husband may object if there are any odd smells radiating from the microwave. |
- Posted by aharriedmom 8B/ Sunset%3A 28 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 14, 12 at 15:32
Thanks! I just peeked at that thread and I hadn't seen it. I'm off to read now! |
- Posted by aharriedmom 8B/ Sunset%3A 28 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 14, 12 at 22:41
I decided to hold off repotting the rhoeo for today because I'm afraid I might have too much fine matter in my 5-1-1. I posted the question in the thread linked below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to my thread detailing my foray into Al's Mixes.
I saw the other thread & commented. It's a judgment call - you can always screen some of the fines out if you think there is too much fine material Al |

Today is March 19, 2005 my dads birthday. I just found out today that my dad died 07/06/2003 and I had no idea. So this is really a shocker. I blame myself for not being there. I do not know the circumstances of his death. He died at the age of 90. So he did live a full life and for that I am happy. But now it is a matter of dealing with the pain, grief and guilt. I feel guilty for not being there when he died or not being there for his funeral. I don't even know where he is burried so that i could go there for the closure that I need. So now all I can do is have crying fits that never stop. I cry for awhile then stop then it all starts over again. He wasn't my dad by blood but my dad by heart as he was the one that was always there for me when my own dad and mom had abandoned me. My adopted mom was his ex wife so he bacame daddy and stayed daddy all my life. |

EMBA Extension Program
"I feel that if you are in the field of technology or engineering, the Stevens [MBA] program is in fact the superior program". |
Graduates of the MSTM program (or prior EMTM program), or those completing the courses comprising the Master's degree are automatically admitted to the EMBA extension program.
Those bypassing the MS degree and continuing to the MBA program take an additional four courses. For those who graduated prior to Fall 2015 the number of courses required for the MBA degree will depend on the year that you completed your Master's program. Students who graduated from the Master's program in 2002 (EMTM 9) through 2013 (EMTM 22) require an additional five courses for their MBA degree. If you graduated prior to 2002 ((E)MTM 1-8), you will need an additional one to three courses (electives) depending on the number of credits associated with your Master's degree.
- Study Plan (EMTM 9 - 22)
- Study Plan (MSTM 23 -)
The Howe School of Technology Management requires a GMAT of all applicants for the MBA degree. However, the School waives the GMAT requirement for applicants posessing a Master's degree and 5+ years of work experience.
Applicants who proceed to the EMBA extension program but do not possess a Master's degree, willl receive the degree entitled Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA). Students falling into this category do have the option of taking the GMAT (must attain a score >500) and graduating with the Master of Business Administration degree.
Dual Degree Option
Students who attain 60 credits will be entitled to receive both the Master's and MBA degrees in what we refer to as the Dual Degree Option. Note: The number of credits corresponding to the dual degree for those graduating from the Master's program before Fall 2014 lies between 58 and 60.

Most of the nation's many parts — voters, the Supreme Court, lawmakers and the president — all have agreed in one way or another about the value that immigrants bring to the nation.
What they haven't agreed on is reforming the nation's immigration laws. But they're getting closer.
The sticking point is the thorny problem of what to do about the 11 million or more undocumented immigrants estimated to be living in the United States.
There are also concerns about the nation's borders and how to secure them.
Before the November election, the subject was off the table. Republican opposition to reform was just too strong. But that has changed since Latino voters sent a huge message to the Republicans that they were tired of the party's anti-immigration stance and then proceeded to give President Barack Obama 71 percent of their vote.
The growing power of the Hispanic vote has given the GOP cause to seek a more practical approach to immigration reform.
Republican Party leaders, such as newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a Tea Party favorite, see the writing on the wall. And it isn't in English.
"If Republicans do not do better in the Hispanic community, in a few short years, Republicans will no longer be the majority party in our state," Mr. Cruz told Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker magazine.
As Mr. Cruz noted, the implications of that shift would reach far beyond Texas.
"In not too many years, Texas could switch from being all Republican to all Democrat. If that happens, no Republican will ever again win the White House," he said.
The data support that contention. With New York (which has 29 Electoral College votes) and California (with 55 votes) solidly in the Democratic column for the future, the GOP absolutely must have Texas' 38 electoral votes to reach the 270 necessary to elect a president.
Along with Mr. Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is looking for a way to bring sense to immigration reform without distressing many in his party. And Latino leaders in the public sector have warned both parties that they are watching them.
Clarissa Martinez de Castro, the director of immigration policy at the National Council of La Raza, said recently that "Republicans must demonstrate a reasoned approach to start to rebuild their relationship with Latino voters (and) Democrats must demonstrate they can deliver on a promise."
Mr. Obama and Senate Democrats are expected to propose a comprehensive plan to overhaul the system that will include a path to citizeship for most of the undocumented immigrants in the country.
The plan would not wipe the slate clean. It includes financial penalties — such as fines and the payment of back taxes — as well as other steps to obtain legal status.
Mr. Rubio came out with a reform plan of his own Tuesday. Acknowledging that the "immigration issue is a gateway issue for Hispanics," Mr. Rubio said his proposal is a "comprehensive package of bills" to address the problems.
His plan, which looks an awful lot like the president's, includes more access to legal status for highly skilled workers and a guest worker program for low-skilled workers. Mr. Rubio is also on the record in support of workplace enforcement and stronger border security.
Mr. Rubio said his plan does not include "blanket amnesty or a special pathway to citizenship" for undocumented immigrants. He said they would have to apply for legal status and meet the requirements necessary, but they would not have to return to their home countries to start the process.
The activity surrounding immigration also involves a bipartisan group of senators, inclusing Dick Durbin, D-lll. and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are writing a bill they hope to introduce in March.
When Mr. Obama signed the pro-family, pro-jobs executive order in June that incorporated parts of Mr. Durbin's DREAM Act (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), some of the president's critics claimed it was a politically motivated move. If so, it worked.
Now that some Republican politicians have seen the reality of what their opposition meant for their political futures, they are no longer moaning about the president's action.
Closer to home, Illinois legislators passed a bill last week to grant temporary driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. It suggests that common sense immigration policies are on the rise.
The combination of political practicality, moral responsibility and reality in the shape of 11 million people, has given momentum to making immigration reform a reality. It's time to treat immigrant families with the respect and dignity they deserve, to allow them to continue to strengthen our workplaces and economy and to help them provide better futures for their children.
The truth is, they are here to stay.

Comments, questions and tips
Help! Where did I go wrong?
Followed the recipe to the 'T' but my cake sunk, looks too buttery and dense not the springy light sponge in the picture.
It does taste delicious but there is no way I could serve it to my work mates, I'd be a laughing stock! Any suggestions much appreciated because I'd love to make this cake again.
p.s. I made another cake after the first one failed but exactly the same problem. (I left the second cake in for 30 minutes longer)
Very nice cake. I used lemon curd flavoured Greek yogurt rather than buying both to save money and it worked well. I rolled the blueberries in flour and they didn't sink. It took 85 minutes in the oven. I thought the calories listed seemed a bit high so worked it out myself and it is 412 calories per 1/8th with half of the icing used. Next time I would double the amount of blueberries as it was a little sparse.
...this one is healthy, quick and educational :) check and let me know how it is...
I made this cake for the first time a couple of nights ago and it turned out wonderfully; the blueberries didn't sink, and it cooked through perfectly in 1 hour 15 mins (fan oven). I did change the method for making the cake mixture ever so slightly (instead of mixing everything all together at the same time as it says to) if this made a difference:
-Mixed together butter and sugar
-Added eggs one at a time along with a little flour with each egg until all the eggs/flour were worked into the mixture
-Added the lemon curd and rind
-Added the greek yoghurt (I used 100ml)I also sprinkled a little of the flour over the blueberries before adding them in.
Will definitely make this again, maybe with some added raspberries or something.
I used frozen blueberries (defrosted) rather than fresh so maybe that's where I went wrong. They all sank to the bottom and it was quite wet because of this. The cake itself i thought was a bit stodgy and perhaps too buttery also. Saying that, my partner loved it, he ate the whole thing in two days with yogurt and curd on the side. I don't think i'd make it again, but gave it two stars as an average of our opinions!
Can anyone help with this recipe pls? Never have baking disasters (plenty others in life!) but have done this cake twice and can't get it to work. Like a few other contributors, it has turned out dense and stodgy in the middle. Cooked it a bit longer the 2nd time but not much improvement. Its not undercooked in the middle, as such, just stodgy. Nothing wrong with oven etc as have baked successfully in between. Love the ingredients so would like to get it right. I noticed it curdled slightly both times. Interestlingy, didn't have the problem of fruit dropping to the bottom like other people had! Thanks for any input!
Made this today for fathers day on sunday with great success. Only thing different I did was to put half the lemon juice in the cake and rest in the icing and added 1tbs lemon curd to icing also. As most comments seem to be that the blueberries sunk to bottom of the cake I rolled the berries in flour before adding them and it worked so well that the 2nd addition was still on the top of the cake when it came out of the oven. Also put some crystalized orange and lemon slices when finished - fantastic!

U.S. House ratifies FAA bill extension
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has unanimously passed H.R. 3800, a bill extending the Federal Aviation Administration's authorities through February 17. This marks the 23rd extension since the long-term FAA law expired in 2007.
The FAA bill will now appear before the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate. H.R. 3800's passage in the House, however, "clears the way for negotiators to complete work on a final long-term FAA reauthorization," according to a press release issued by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
To Committee Chairman John Mica (R-FL), it's a particularly noteworthy feat. "With this extension in place, Congress can now bring to conclusion a long-overdue FAA bill," he said in a statement.
"This should be a bipartisan, bicameral effort," Mica continued. "Improvements to our nation's aviation infrastructure, modernization of our air traffic control system, and reform of FAA programs are almost five years overdue. A long-term bill will set national aviation policy and have a major impact on jobs."
The absence of a long-term bill has certainly caused problems in the past. In July, a bipartisan dispute led to the 13-day partial shutdown of the FAA, causing nearly 4,000 airline workers to be furloughed and dozens of aviation projects to be immobilized.
"Unless Congress acts quickly, more work on projects critical to our nation's aviation system will come to a halt," Former FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said at the time. "Work is stopping on construction and planning projects, NextGen system testing, and airport certification. The list goes on and on — and this is just the beginning."
The FAA's partial shutdown temporarily affected the renovations of air traffic control towers at Las Vegas-based McCarran International Airport; New York-based LaGuardia Airport; Gulfport, Miss.-based Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport; Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Battle Creek International Airport and California-based Palm Springs International Airport, among others.
Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Tom Petri (R-WI) hopes the passage of H.R. 3800 will prevent similar projects from being delayed in the future. "This long, incredibly drawn-out process is, hopefully, almost over," Petri said in a statement. "Let this be the last extension, to be followed by a long-sought reauthorization of the FAA. We must not delay any longer when it comes to air traffic control modernization and other vital initiatives."

Brutuses: Beautiful rooms and paint colors. I especially love the Yorkshire Tan. Did you paint all your ceilings to match your walls? They are look very classy. |
I have BM Baby Turtle in my powder room and laundry room and it's a beautiful brownish green. Love the Yorkshire Tan in Brutuses' bathroom! |
sophie, no, we just painted the ceilings in the foyer and small bath to match the walls to help bring the ceiling down in those rooms. All the others are white. |
We are just painting out house after a substantial remodel. Used colors from the BM historical line. Lancaster Whitewash on all ceilings - it looks fantastic! Our house is small and has 8 ft ceilings, and pretty bad light, so no dark colors on the ceiling. I love brutuses BEAUTIFUL house (and color choices). With tall ceilings like that it's definitely the way to go. Sigh. ;-) My DH chose Providence Olive for his office, great color! We're using strong colors for accents, like Marblehead Gold, New London Burgundy, and Van Courtland Blue (fantastic blue/grey). Living room is Wheeling Neutral. Our kitchen cabs are being lacquered in Nantucket Grey (our finisher matches the paint color), they are looking fantastic, they're not installed yet, though. The colors in the historical line are so beautiful - I highly recommend... Good luck! |
BM Babyturtle: Also BM Straw. I don't have any pics of it yet but it's a really nice soft buttery yellow that I used on the walls of a 9'X 8' room w/ Filtered Sunlight trim and Vanilla Ice Cream built in's. Very nice! Currently considering Providence Olive or something along those lines for kitchen cabinets. |

liliswe, Could you possibly post pics of Providence Olive? Please please please? I have Lancaster White (not sure what the difference is with Lancaster Whitewash) on my ceilings and I really like it too. Very warm. But strangely enough I used it on my painted trim too...don't really like it there at all. I also have Van Courtland Blue in my bath and *love* it. |

Bruteses, What is your paint color on the white trim work? |
- Posted by sophiesmom08 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 25, 09 at 13:36
I'm loving all the responses so far. The pics are so inspirational, too. I also love the Historical line of BM paints. Most of the colors that I am considering come from that line. juddgirl and ttodd: based on the pic posted by ttodd, it's easy to see why Babyturtle is a favorite. It's absolutely beautiful. I really like Dry Sage and Chestertown Buff. The house designer at the local BM store says that in this area those are two of the most popular sellers. Has anyone used either of these colors and do you have pics? |
- Posted by clubcracker (My Page) on Sun, Jan 25, 09 at 20:59
Popcorn Kernel: Gray Wisp (aka RH Silver Sage): Powell Buff: Stone House: All trim is White Dove. I love Brutuses and ttodd's pics - going to have to try Baby Turtle somewhere! |
- Posted by sophiesmom08 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 25, 09 at 23:56
All these beautiful pics are making me want to get started right away. Forget about waiting until spring, I'm ready to paint. Spring break can't get here soon enough. I've included pics of my kitchen that is now in Hawthorne Yellow, soon to be Chestertown Buff (I hope, I hope). clubcracker: Your staircase is lovely. The BM Stone House with the White Dove trim makes a beautiful statement. How old is your home? |
bungalow_house... I'll be back at the house tomorrow (we are still not moved in...), and I'll take some pictures. There's only one coat on the wall right now... Last coat goes on after floors and all cabinet installations. But the color is beautiful, very rich with only one coat (matte finish). We're using Acadia White for trim, which is looking great. It's a very soft white with lot's of warmth, and it's working nicely with the Lancaster Whitewash. Fun to read about, and see, all of your color choices! It's my first remodel - I think I'm hooked... :-) |

Here's Chestertown Buff... (wish i knew how to make these pics a bit smaller.. i'll figure it out one of these day..lol) |
mom2girls, I'm so enthralled by your side table which looks somewhat like a double-tier drum table. I've never seen one quite like it. Is this an antique or a reproduction? It does have the look of an older piece. I like the large picture format, by the way, you can really see all the details so well. |

We just painted our LR in BM Pine Grove for the walls and BM White Marigold for the trim (mixed in Aura). trk65, our bedroom is painted in Weekend Getaway, it's a great color, very cool and soothing, and can look a little blue and gray depending on the light. sandyponder |
- Posted by mom2girls_2008 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 26, 09 at 13:45
ingrid vc: thanks so much...unfortunately the end tables are not antiques...they are matching end tables that i purchased last year at ethan allen.. we really loved them when we saw them and had to have them.. appreciate the compliment! |
Clubcracker, we also have Stone House in our front hall! I also really like Everlasting, the next-lighter color, which is in our upstairs hall. Other favorites: |
We have Richmond Gray, aka Baby Turtle, in our main living area, with an adjacent wall painted 1/2 strength Pleasant Valley, and an area adjacent to that painted Brandon Beige. We love the sequence. The RG is a fascinating color, works beautifully with woods and metals, the Pleasant Valley is so cheery without being screamy, and the Brandon Beige is chameleon-like. I never would have found any of these colors if the consultant at the BM store hadn't suggested the Brandon Beige...everything else came from that. |

Sophiesmom, thanks! The house was built in the 1880s, so it's a bit quirky but we love it. Sueb, Everlasting is also so pretty. I love how rich and warm the Stone House "family" is. Your pew is fabulous, BTW! Do you know its history? My MIL had a pew, a table and a bunch of silver from a church/rectory that closed in New Haven (long before all of the scandals of recent years), and they worked so well in their home. Now looking at all the new posts, I have found even more colors to love - I need to find some rooms to try out Chesterton Buff, Decatur Buff and Pomegranate. :) |
- Posted by sophiesmom08 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 27, 09 at 2:48
Mom2girls: First of all, your LR is gorgeous and the wall color looks perfect with the colors in your chair and sofa. Chestertown Buff is a color that I am strongly considering for my kitchen. My kitchen is a brighter yellow now and I wanted a yellow that was less bright, a bit richer, with more of a golden base. By the looks of your pic, the color seems a bit more brown-based. What's your true perception of the color? Is it more brown-based than |
club, no, I don't know the pew's history. I got it from CL for $40! I used to love a BM color called "Oriental Silk" -- which they either don't make any more, or they've changed the name. Does anyone know anything about this color? |
- Posted by mom2girls_2008 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 27, 09 at 20:05
Sophiesmom: Thank you so much for the compliments! I really think the chestertown buff has a golden base.. in fact when we first painted i thought it was too gold.. it cured after a month and we are really happy with the color. Perhaps you can do a search for chestertown buff at the bottom of the page and find some more pix in different light... I seem to remember someone else on this board with pics of chestertown buff. Good luck to you, post some pics when you chose! :) |

Once again, thanks everyone for the all the responses to this post. I have been MIA for over a week. Major ice storm in KY. At my house, No heat, No power, No water, No computer (GW) No nothing. Had to temporarily move to TN to live with my DD. Finally, back at home where my family has power, but not so with many other families in the areas. Still I am luckier than lots of people. I feel guilty thinking about something as trivial as painting when so many others are living in temporary shelters, but while I have time since school is out I thought I would try to take advantage. Please any pics of rooms painted in BM Dry Sage would be so appreciated. My sunroom is small so it would be a good project to complete right now while I wait out the storm. Thanks to all. |

No pictures yet, but we are getting ready to paint a bathroom Cedar Green. Anyone used that color? I always get nervous about the color before I paint! |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Thu, Feb 5, 09 at 17:11
Would love to see more BM Colors! |
We have all BM paint in our house. Bathroom is Ice Blue Silver. I really like this color as it changes with the light. Laundry room is Powell Buff Living room and Kitchen are Everlasting they are open to each other so I kept them the same color. I get so many compliments on this color so much so I have had 3 people go and paint rooms in their house Everlasting Bedroom is Sea Urchin very close to the Everlasting but it has a gold tone to it which makes it just a little warmer and it goes great with my Cherry Bedroom furniture. |
- Posted by sophiesmom08 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 17, 09 at 0:32
I just finished painting my sunroom BM Dry Sage and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I'll post pics soon. Keep more pics coming of kitchen pics featuring yellow/gold BM paint choices. |
TRK - that Pomegranate is wonderful! |
Sandyponder-The "Weekend Getaway" came out really nice-we are 100% happy with the decision-thanks! I'll try to get a pic up in this thread. ttodd-Thanks for the compliment on the Pomegranate. For some reason the other Affinity reds seem to get more attention, but again we feel like we got it right. mldao-your Palladian Blue pic was really helpful. I have a couple of the 5x9 chips taped up right now, but have been unsure. Looks great. |
We just painted our guestroom Gray Owl and I love the color |
- Posted by gagesgranny (My Page) on Tue, Feb 17, 09 at 17:16
mldao, love your chair covers----where did you find them? |
fwiw I wish to make a correction; while looking for colors for a friend I realized that I'd remembered wrong: Richmond Gray is Flowering Herbs, not Baby Turtle. I mixed it up because I considered BT for a while but went with the FH/RG because of our dark, dark northern exposure room. |
mldao, also want to say that I hadn't checked this thread in a while and I am in *love* with the Texas Leather color! Have to get a sample today. Must. Powder room here we come :) |
gagesgranny: I'm not sure if you saw that I answered your shout out post to me so if not here's the information. They're parson chairs with stained wood legs and custom made slipcoves. I purchased the table, chairs, sideboard and mirror ten years ago from our local design center through a store called Verandah. I think you can purchase chairs similar to mine from Ballard Designs. Flyleft: I love Texas Leather. I couldn't stand the pink undertones of Davenport Tan in my powder room and tried living with it for 2 months and just snapped. I like this color so much I only wish I had another room in my house to paint. |
Question for those who have used Chestertown Buff, what is a good compliment color for an adjacent room? Our dining room is Chestertown; trying to figure out a color for our living room. Our couch is dark green/grey and our rug is pottery barn chelsea rug with lots of red. Thanks for your ideas! |
Great topic - I did not get the answer I needed from my own questions but I think I found the master paint color I was looking for here! Cashmere Gray and Palladian Blue are two I must check out! |
mldao I love Palladian Blue. I have it in my new Dining Room. On Monday I'm getting white cafe shutters put up. Actually I'm getting ALL my window treatments. HURRAY. All photos are of a newly purchased cottage WITHOUT furniture etc. Still very much work in progress. Anyway here's my palladian blue: And Filtered Sunlight: Van Alen Green: |
I love Lenox Tan & Shaker Beige. |
That Texas Leather photo is beautiful! TL is pretty dark though, in fact, the Ben Moore decorator saw my Farrow & Ball Mouse's Back strip and told me it was close to Texas Leather. Must be why it tempted me so much. I have Baby Turtle, which is a very warm, browned, green, in much of my home. I have Northampton Putty (looks slightly olive on the wall) in my dining room, and Alexandria Beige, (looks deep sage) on my bathroom walls. My daughter says I can't stay away from the greens to save my life! But I keep thinking these shades are more brown or Grey. They just have the green undertones. This week, I painted my entry in Dry Sage. It's gorgeous. It looks green at times, closer to green/blue at night, and with a gray undertone. Very pretty. It would look wonderful with most any accent color. Baby Turtle Red |
flyleft: Did you ever get the Texas Leather sample? If so, what did you think of it? I like it more and more each day. buddyrose: My oldest DD and I sampled at the very least 20 different paint colors before finding Palladian Blue. She absolutely loves it. My youngest DD's favorite color is pink but after seeing her big sis's room she wanted her room a similar shade. We ended up re-painting younger DD's room Wedgewood Gray with Seafoam ceilings and it's a beautiful combination. red: My PR has been a major PIA from day one. It has no windows and every color I put in there came out with a pink undertone until Texas Leather. I wish I found this color sooner. My neighbor painted her son's room this color after seeing it in my PR. His bedroom gets a ton of natural light and Texas Leather looks just as fantastic. BTW, I'll have to check out F&B Mouse's Back. Just what I need another color to become obessed with. LOL |
My favorites are: Ladyfinger - My last house I painted my dining rm, living rm, and entry in it. Beautiful. Rich Cream - I just painted my current entry in it. Wasabi - Great in my moroccan inspired sunroom. Affinity color. Wind Chime - I just painted a guest room in it. It goes great with oak furniture. Affinity color. |
Mldao, that photo of Northampton Putty looks the way I expected it to look on my walls, judging from the chip and the color of the paint dripping down the side of the can. But mine turned out to have a definite greenish cast in my painted room. Pretty, but not the warm tan that I thought I was getting. Red |
I just painted my 1/2 bath Stonington Gray (no pics yet) but I love, love, love this color! It is a beautiful true soft gray that goes great with the SW Whole Wheat in the hall and burgandy accents. I also just used Gray Owl in a spare room and it's great but not like Stonington Gray. can you tell how much I love it?! |
great thread--bump!! |
Here's Lenox Tan in my kitchen. My house is STILL being renovated. The kitchen is NOT done. Missing cabinet pulls, a door etc. But I don't care. I love the whole process. I only use BM paint |
The Filtered Sunlight looked too yellow in my FR with lots of east windows. Considered Vanilla Ice Cream (with Mint Chocolate Chip for other rooms - art professor DB picked up but I think he just liked the names LOL). We finally went with Navajo White and Thornton Sage with Antique Jade on the back wall of the DR and in the LR. DH wanted Antique Jade everywhere but I thought it might be too dark for stairwell/hallway so went up one to the Th. Sage. But I love the Jade, maybe when we repaint we'll do everything that color! Only thing is, these two colors always show as blue on the screen! Antique Jade (back wall of DR) LR Thornton Sage (this pic doesn't do it justice, everyone who walks into my house asks what this color is - my mom wants to paint her hallway this color) I love Summer (intense blue) and White Satin (light blue) in my bathroom but don't think I have a pic. Horizon looks nice in Ds's room with blue carpet but not so good in my room with green I was thinking of using Malton, Everlasting, and Sierra Hills to paint faux subway tile in my Navajo White kitcheh, thinking it would look like this Oh, last night I was reading December 2008 Architectural Digest, they did a new (traditional) style house in MD and it was all white ceilings with off-white (huge!) trim and pale pastel walls. Acutally, they said they were pastel ("a palette of light shades varying from creamy gold to pinky beige to a whisper of celadon" - all custom-mixed by a "New York-based paint genius") but they all looked cream to me with bright white ceilings. Someone said (on trends thread?) that they have been seeing white walls in magazines lately. |
We recently painted our kitchen using Lapland by BM Aura. Came out geat it is in the sage family close to a pea soup green. We looked at a lot of different colors and this worked best w/ our kitchen. |

Hi. New here. I have Fernwood (a very soft sage green) in my kitchen and everyone just loves it. We painted our dining room Stuart Gold, but it's an obnoxious gold, so I plan on repainting it soon (if I can convince my husband!).. trk65--where did you get the rug in your living/family room (the one with the red couch)? I have a red couch and have been looking for a rug and really like yours! Thanks :) |
I love the BM Bone White in my family room, kitchen, hallways and spare room used as a business storage room. I wish I went with a bright white or BM Rich Cream in my laundry room instead. I love the BM Navajo White in my Master Bedroom. The BM Linen White in my home office is nice but since living in apartments for so many years and with white walls and no contrast with the trim in those apartments, I wish I went with BM Bone White or something warmer for my home office. Since the painter did such a bad job painting and did not finish some areas, I will be repainting the two room home office when I do my floors. The BM Philadelphia Cream I like in the daytime in my other small spare bedroom but at night, it is too yellow for me and it is not a warm yellow. |
momto4boysinfl- That rug is an older Pottery Barn rug-the original name was 'Bronwyn'. We actually bought it on Ebay. We had been eyeing it but didn't have the money to buy it until after it was discontinued. My wife was DETERMINED to get one, so she searched online and found one that claimed to be new in the plastic on Ebay. We took a chance and sure enough it showed up as described-it had never been unrolled. I have seen them pop up from time to time on Craigslist and Ebay. We would like to get a smaller one for our front hall. It's now in a room that is painted BM Weekend Getaway 473 with more neutral furniture and it works just as well in there.I think if the house was on fire and we could only bring one item with us (other than living things of course) it would probably be that rug. |
Has anyone painted Rockport Gray? Red (I wonder if it stays gray, goes more brown, or what?) |
Are you thinking about your kitchen Red? I was thinking about your kitchen! |
I agree with the others who like Rich Creme. Raspberry Truffle is also a fav, but too intense for a small bedroom. I have used Litchfield Gray, no one seems to talk about this one. I reflects as gray or brown, depending on the time of day. |
I just love the BM Rich Cream and may repaint my laundry room with the color. My home office does not look good with gold colors due to the putty file cabinets but the cherry desk looks nice with gold colors. Any other favorites or pictures? |
My absolute favorite BM color is Pale Almond. It is a perfect neutral, both cool and warm, if that's possible. By the way, ttodd, your home is stunning! |
bepeace, any pics of a room in the BM Pale Almond? Thank you. |
Sophiesmom, did you ever post photos of your dry Sage sunroom? And has anyone actually painted Horizon Gray or Gray Horse? Red |
Sophiesmom, Sorry, I just got back to this site and saw your question. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the BM Pale Almond - only a dresser (because I recently moved) - and that showed up very light, and not a good representation. Picking paint colors is so difficult! Definitely worth it to buy the tiny jars or even the small cans and paint a section or a piece of foam board. Good luck! |

I just painted my Library and Living Room with BM Lady Finger (Paint Color #1045). Just gorgeous! |
Ambitiousbeginner, I would love to see BM Lady Finger on your walls... please.... |
Looking to paint my bedroom weekend getaway, BM#473 and would like a coordinating bathroom color other than aganthus which is one shade lighter than wkend getaway. Also wondering if I can use a blue'ish greenish color or does it have to be green? Any help would be appreciated, have to make a decision by next week! |
I love color! I personally think color makes a big difference in any room.. check my blog when you guys get a chance: http://interiordesignprinciples.blogspot.com/ Look fwd to your comments! Vidya |
Here is a link that might be useful: Interior Design Principles
This is a great reference thread. I've looked at it many times. Adding my pics . . . Benjamin Moore Crisp Khaki Benjamin Moore Bradstreet Beige Benjamin Moore Litchfield Gray Benjamin Moore Jackson Tan Benjamin Moore Georgetown Pink Beige above moulding and Benjamin Moore Somerville Red below moulding Paris Rain Wheeling Neutral Pismo Dunes above moulding and in the boxes, Manchester Tan below moulding outside the boxes Revere Pewter Ashley Gray Manchester Tan Sandlot Gray Smokey Taupe |
I'm working right now with BM's Cedar Grove and love it . I want the BR next to it to be a dusty grayish blue, maybe with slight purple undertones. Do you think this is a good idea? Any color suggestions? Also, need color for hallway that links to both rooms. Would love to hear what you all have to say! Thanks! |
I don't really have a favorite as I've just started using BM paint, but being I didnt see pics of these colors I thought I'd share. Back wall is pale avocado side wall is westom flax |
Quiet Moments is a really nice soft blue/grey color. Love it for my master bedroom. |
Kennebunkport green and Decatur Buff are two favorites. |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 16:15
I have Flowering Herb in a kitchen and a bedroom and Baby Turtle in a small bathroom. They are older colors that have been around for a few years, but I still love the Flowering Herb - I think it is the "perfect" earthy green. I am getting tired of the Baby Turtle. The current popular BM colors seem to be in the greys and blue/grey families. Revere Pewter seems to be the hottest thing in town these days. I love these colors also, but they would never work in my house due to lighting/decor, etc. |
Great thread! I have learned so many colors from it! I am thinking of use Dove White as a trim color. My color palette will be warmer, but neutral in eggshell. I want a slightly different color for trim than the ceiling flat. I would love opinions on Dove White or other trim colors. I heard one painter express frustration with the coverage of Dove White - any other bad experiences? We will be painting ourselves. Thanks! |
My favorites are shelbourne buff which I have in a sunroom, used to have in LR also but I decided to lighten up with Philadelphia cream. I also love grey mirage, beautiful grey green in my kitchen. I have ladyfinger in my basement and I love that. Does anyone know the answer to the question about oriental silk? BM folks said they can still make it but that rich cream is very close. |

Introduction to FBA Style Competition Cooking
April 18, 2011
Over the past few weeks, we've been introducing the Grilling.com community to the various types of contests that take place across the country each year. And just as each region of the country has its own unique flavor profiles, cooking techniques and specialty dishes, the various contest sanctioning bodies tend to differ slightly. Today, we're speaking to Jimmy Brod of Everglades Seasoning/Smokin' Cracker BBQ Team, a true master at the art of cooking Florida Bar-B-Que Association style contests.
First of all, how about a little background on yourself and the team. You're originally from Florida, correct?
I have lived in South Central Florida all my life and consider myself a Florida Cracker…Native Floridian. I grew up in a small town Sebring and live in Sebring now with my wife and three boys. My team consists of my family and Dennis Bandish from Merritt Island, FL and John Sircy also from Sebring. Dennis is a custom car painter so his attention to detail is second to none. John owns a rental store in Sebring and he can get anything from anywhere and just knows how to make things happen. Both of these guys are great friends and make a contest much more enjoyable.
Any idea as to when you first got bitten by the barbecue and grilling bug? Any special memories from those early days around the grill?
Sebring has a long standing BBQ tradition with one of the oldest annual contests in Florida. I got bitten by the bug in about 2004 while stumbling through my first contest in Sebring. I was set up right next to Myron Mixon and I had no idea who he was but he helped me out and put me on the right track. I remember the FBA reps threatened to DQ him because he left his meat out on the table after injecting, He flipped out…it was great entertainment.
What sets Florida apart in your mind when it comes to outdoor cooking? More seafood? More spice?
The fact is, my gas grill sees more fish than pork and beef. We are for sure spoiled when it comes to fresh seafood. I think Florida outdoor cooking is all about fresh fish, pork or beef and vegetables enhanced with vibrant clean flavors with some acid background.
And when and why did you first start cooking competitions?
I started cooking competitions as Smokin' Cracker BBQ Team in 2004 and I won my first Grand in 2006. I struggled for about two years making slight changes and that was before anyone would share info on forums or e-mail. I'm kind of proud of the fact that I have never taken a class.
How many contests do you usually do a year? What are the most memorable ones?
It depends because I own an aviation maintenance business and that demands a bunch of my attention. I think the most I ever did was about 18 in 2007-2008 and this year we are busy with J.B. Aircraft so it looks like I will be lucky to get about 6 or 8 in 2011. The most memorable contest was our 2009 "fly in and steal the Reserve Grand Championship" at The American Royal.
Yes, I was there and it was indeed an amazing thing. How'd you pull it off?
The three of us made a last minute decision to fly out to Kansas City and see if we could pull off the contest with all borrowed equipment, a rented mini-van and an EZ Up canopy. We had a blast! We cooked on a cooker that we never used or ever saw before. Thanks to some great BBQ Brethren friends we pulled it off with several walks in the Invitational and Open and a RG in the open. Now that was fun.
I did the same thing that year, just didn't score as well as you! It really says a lot about how friendly competitors can be when you're in need. So back to FBA style contests, what really sets them apart from say MBN or KCBS? I believe you all don't care much for garnish and the chicken category is a bit different than KCBS.
Very similar to KCBS but no garnish at all and only the contest meat is allowed in the turn-in box. You are required to put a minimum of 8 pieces in the box and turn-ins one hour apart starting at 11:00 with chicken, ribs at 12:00, pork 1:00, and brisket 2:00.
So you do have a little bit broader window to turn in the categories versus the 30 minute windows in KCBS. How about the scoring system? Any real differences between FBA and KCBS?
Very similar! FBA uses a 10 point scoring system 0 being the lowest and 10 being the best. The meat is judged on presentation, tenderness and taste. Tenderness is weighted the most followed by taste and finally presentation.
Aside from access to the contests, is there any reason personally that you'd pick one style over another?
Nope, I like them both. FBA is more difficult because you have to use the food to make the food look good. You don't have the crutch of a garnish to fall back on to cover up mistakes. It also forces you to prepare the meat in various ways to garnish the box using the meat. Also the FBA has a bunch of contests in a year and FBA teams get a lot of practice and they are damn good.
Finally, any quick tips for someone thinking about trying their first contest this year?
Forget about what you like…Cook good, average BBQ that all 6 judges will like and make sure that no individual flavors on you meat are discernible. Make sure that the flavors blend to taste like BBQ, not some kinda fruity mess, honey, pepper, or individual spice. There is no magic flavor that all the judges will like so be open minded with your flavors and concentrate on tenderness because if it's not cooked right it won't matter what rub you use.
Thanks again, Jimmy, and we'd love to hear more from you as the season progresses!

In honor of Earth Day, which is on Monday, a fourth-year Cal Poly wildlife and biology major teamed up on Sunday morning with the Avila Beach Sea Life Center for an ocean and beach clean up day.
Among the trash found: fishing poles, bottles, a tire, and a toilet.
"Who would throw that in there, you know?" said Lizzy Sikkema, the student organizer from Cal Poly.
Sikkema said she's always had an interest and love for the ocean and marine life. She said it's that passion that has led her to protect the living in the sea, and that is why she wanted to work for the Avila Beach Sea Life Center and help them clean up.
She said, "I'm glad we are doing this now, to get everything out, and help people realize that, 'oh maybe we should do this more often'."
Over 25 divers participated, scouring beneath the Harford Pier in Port San Luis. They found trash, and some living treasures, including octopi.
Diver and fourth-year Cal Poly student Josiah Shelton said, "It's a little annoying, especially when you see the sea life that's down there. And you know, it adapts, like you'll see sometimes something living in it, using it as their home, and a way that's kinda cool, and they adapt and they make it work, but at the same time, they shouldn't have to."
Shelton said he believed it was very important to clean up man's mess in the ocean.
"You wouldn't want someone to go in your house and throw their stuff on the floor, you know, you gotta respect the other person's house," said Shelton.
The event, which drew dozens of volunteers and interested passersby on the pier, will also count as Sikkema's senior project at school.
Sikkema said, "I want to basically spread awareness on how important it is to recycle and use like trash sustainability."
Sikkema reported that approximately 100 to 150 pounds of trash and recyclables were collected on Sunday. She said she hopes next year's event with the Avila Beach Sea Life Center is bigger and better.

With every generation of ASUS board, they improve themselves. This is where we really see this statement in effect. ASUS have added just about ever feature under the sun; USB 2.0, RAID, Firewire, Hardware audio, overclocking options that matter and even Flash memory reader/writer chips. Add to this it's performance in the benchmarks, its diagnostic systems, its ability to go beyond what it was originally designed to do, and you have an extreme board that is worthy of the ASUS name.
We did find one problem with this board. Using the drivers supplied to us on the ASUS CD, if we plugged in the Audigy and used the onboard Firewire at the same time, the two devices would kill out in Windows XP if you tried to transfer data across either of the Firewire buses. The latest drivers from Texas Inst. fixed this up, so there is no worries on that front.
- Pros
Hardware Sound
Reasonable overclocker
- Cons
Uses CD revision chipset limiting overclocking
Bit Pricey.
Needs new BIOS for memory optimization.
Rating - 9/10 and TweakTown's Editors Choice Award

yeah but arn't they still in Disneyland? So it's like they're not totally dead.Originally Posted by dbm20th
Hrmm. I couldn't choose one. I would say, take the old rides, and rebuild them in a park of their own. Call it "Disney Classic" for those of us who miss the old. I love the new stuff, and I recognize things must grow and change, but man I really miss the old SpaceShip Earth ala 1986 and the old Journey into Imagination, and Horizons and World of Motion. Captain EO can stay dead though...

I'm sorry but I DO like this version of the Tiki Room MUCH more than the original. It's still amazing to watch and it adds a dimension that our children can understand. (Zazu and Iago) I still want Alien Encounter back. Let's face it, Stitch is terrible compared to it! It was the only REAL ULTRA SCARY ride Disney had on property. I miss it a lot.
I have to say the Skyway and 20,000 Leagues under the sea. I remember when my younger brother and I first went in the subs I thought he was going to have a cow. Ahhh, such wonderful memories of teasing my little brother.
You're asking me to pick just one attraction? JUST ONE? Are you crazy? Gaaaah...okay, I suppose I'll have to pick the old Journey Into Imagination at Epcot, complete with the original DreamWorks (I don't care how dated the technology is now!) and the first 3-D movie, Magic Journeys. I hate what they've done to JII. I miss my DreamFinder!
Loyal patron of the World since 1972
10,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Magic Kingdom, obviously an up-to-date version. It was a classic Disney attraction.:mickey:
I went ahead and voted for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It was a cute, fast-er ride for Fantasyland. And I just miss it the most!
Love, Kerri
I wasn't even around for most of the rides listed. But I remember my first visit to Disney World in 1995, my family and I were about to go on the skyway attraction...but while we were waiting in the extremely long line, it started to rain and storm so they closed it!!! I wish they would bring back all the original rides from when it opened for one year. That would be awesome!!! It would give all the wdw fans a chance to experience what they missed in the earlier years.

Alien Eno****er because it was like the only scary ride in the whole magical world. i remember when we rode it for the first time and my friends dad said something like "why's he eating potato chips so close to me?" lol!

Henry Miller : pintura e escrita : algumas notas breves em torno de «To paint is to love again»
Diogo Alcoforado
Documento (.pdf)
AbstractTaking some of the main aspects of H. Miller's confessional essay To paint is to love again as a departure point, in the present text the author tries to expose the relationship that can be established between painting and writing, and even philosophy, in the work of the American novelist, not only from the perspective of a mere categorial classification, or as a simple exercise for the understanding of the meaning of his books and paintings on the basis of thematic analogies, but as a process of continuous and radical anthropological and poetic implications. So, Miller's work – novels, essays, … – are taken here not only as an object of a specific literary approach, but as an example of the difficulties, and also the possibilities, that each modern author, if a great one, introduces in the field of contemporary culture.

"Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth" (Ps. 60:4).
Shadows of Heaven Things
By Al Stoner
"For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant; even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off" (Isa. 56:4-5).
Oftentimes the language of the old covenant dispensation is foreshadowing some better thing that God would later be providing, but had not yet come in its fullness, and therefore, it was necessary to say it the best way that it could be said at the time that it was spoken. Such is the case with regard to this promise made by God to Israel of a name and place better than of sons and of daughters. Those living in those former times were unable to frame to comprehend the excellencies of the things which God has laid up for them that wait for Him. In every age believing men have been called upon to "stretch forward", as it were, in order to comprehend somewhat of the blessedness that "wait for Him". "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" (I Cor. 2:9; cf. 8:3).
The Sabbath was, and is, "a shadow of heavenly things" (Heb. 8:5). If we only think of keeping the Sabbath as a mere legal observance, that is, something that God has imposed upon men, then we have failed to comprehend the significance for which it was given. "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" (Mk. 2:27). "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Col 2:16-17), [but the substance belongs to Christ, NASB].
From the very beginning, the Sabbath was directly associated with God Himself resting, and also with God's rest (cf. Gen. 2:1-2). It was associated with works of God that were finished, even finished from the foundation of the world. The sabbath was summoning men to be identified with works of God that are finished, that is, finished by God Himself.
Incidentally, the shadows and corresponding substantive realities, of which we speak, are those things which are specifically identified as such by Christ and the Apostles. We are not at liberty to come up with our own inventions in these matters.
The Sabbath. The Sabbath, as a shadow of heavenly things served its purpose well, as well as the severity and solemnity by which it was sanctified and hallowed by God Himself. Such words as are found in Genesis 2, Psalm 95, Hebrews 4, and Colossians 2 instruct us that the Sabbath involves much more than a legal observance imposed upon men. It is a shadow of heavenly things, namely, of God's rest, of living unto God by faith, and of believing men entering into His rest.
In Hebrews 4:1-11 the consideration of the day of rest (v. 4) and the land of rest (v. 8) are wonderfully joined together with that of God Himself resting and with men entering into His rest (v. 10) The day of rest, the Sabbath, speaks of a time, and the land of rest, Canaan, speaks of a place.
They are joined together with men ceasing from their own works as God did from His. They are joined together with men believing in God and believing on Christ, and laboring earnestly to enter into God's rest.
Eunuchs. Taken literally, these are men who, for one reason or another, are unable to marry, and bear children. If we take the word literally, this is going to limit this wonderful promise to a very small class of men, and even excluding women altogether.
Thus, if we consider the eunuchs to be those who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of God's sake, as the Lord Jesus said, then we can all identify with this. If any man will come after Me, Jesus said, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
And if, in the time of the New Covenant, we reckon not polluting the sabbath (Isa. 56:6) to be not polluting the justifying work that God has already abundantly wrought through the sufferings of His Christ and the glory which has followed, we can all identify with this as well. It is not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He has saved us through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit.
But, on an occasion when the subject of the seriousness of marriage and divorce came up, the disciples said to Jesus, "If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry . . . He said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. And then He went on to speak about eunuchs.
He said, "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it" (Mt. 19:9-12).
And it is this latter sense of the word eunuch to which we would like to draw attention here. This is the sense with which all men are able to identify. And it is a sense that all men must identify with, at least to some degree, if they would enter into life. --Editor
"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately" (Lk. 12:35-36).

It's been 15 years since the ''classic'' GBV lineup stopped putting out the tuneful, delightfully shambolic albums that became their signature. Now reunited and intent on rebottling that boozy magic, the boys have dusted off their four-tracks and revisited their basements. Like previous efforts, Let's Go Eat the Factory seats shining riffsters alongside hypnotically inscrutable interludes, though much of it sounds more belabored and less beer-soaked than those of yore.

Brian Lakamp, New President of Clear Channel Digital, Talks Radio's Evolution
When he was promoted to President of Clear Channel Digital this month, Brian Lakamp, stepped into some very big shoes. The radio giant's digital efforts had previously been steered by Bob Pittman, the legendary founder of MTV, who is now CEO of Clear Channel's umbrella of corporate holdings. (Mr. Pittman's associates also recently launched a seed stage fund for digital media.)
"We've got a big challenge in front of us, as streaming radio becomes the norm, and the social graph allows for personalization in a way that wasn't possible a few years ago," said Mr. Lakamp, speaking with Betabeat by phone. "Add to that the 750 local radio brands we work with, and you have a a massive opportunity." Read More

Hi. I'm Desi Gallegos, the Beauty Editor for Seventeen Magazine, and I'm taking you behind the scenes of our August Back-to-School beauty shoot, so you can copy the look at home. All right, I am behind the scenes of our August beauty shoot with Tyron, and he is going to tell us about the Back-to-School make up look that he did today.
We started with a very, very clean face. Use a foundation with a yellow undertone. Makes your skin really glow with this golden feel. Not a lot of powder. Keep it very fresh and [unknown] it with the eyes, with lots of mascara and a little bit of a line on the bottom lashes. And that makes her eyes really pop. And we use to line not on the eyelash inside. We didn't want to make it look too heavy for school. So we just used this in the, between the bottom lashes. And this is to make the lashes appear more full. Then we have a shimmery gold eye shadow, or cream eye shadow that we wiped over the eyelid. And again, this is very easy to use. You can do it with your fingers and just wipe it on, and it just gives this beautiful, beautiful shimmer. Dab a little bit of a caramel gloss on and a little bit of [unknown] cream, a little bit of cream blush. Cream blush is nice because you have this natural shimmer and it just looks fresh and in her case, it gets a bit of fabulous look.

I live east of Cleveland, right along the lake. We RV travel a few months out of the year and can't wait to do it full time! I LOVE Martha Stewart - all kitchen equipment - and Rachel Ray! (God Bless those 1/2 hour dinners!)
I am famous for my fried chicken, potato salad, lasagna, steak and red gravy and "butterball" cookies. Everyone eats at my house - we have all the parties - and if they eat someplace first, they call and beg me to save something for them. Favorite restaurant...hmm..guess El Rodeo only because I don't cook Mexican but love to eat it.

Lance Armstrong banned for life,stripped of 7 Tour wins.

That's not the same type of doping. Cyclists aren't getting HGH and steroids,
I believe they do something call Blood Doping were they take their own blood for later use.

Having read the complete history on what tests have been conducted to date over many years, I lost total respect for the organization overseeing the sport.
Ironically, the promotion of guilty until proven innocent has been the marching order of the day for this organization.
It's a shame for Lance, the sport, other riders, and those who are followers of the sport as well. Everyone lost in this process and these latest actions.

How can an American institution strip any athlete of titles or medals from a French or international competition?
I do t think they really can. The organizers of the Tour can strip the winnings I think, or the UCI. USADA does not have the jurisdiction.
Posted 25 August 2012 - 04:05 PM
The USADA, a non-profit organization, has spent $1.2M persecuting a man who has never failed a single drug test - even when old samples were tested with new technology.
The guy at the head of the USADA said Armstrong was sanctioned because of "his numerous anti-doping rule violations, including his involvement in trafficking and administering doping products to others" - and yet I haven't seen a single conviction for drug trafficking or anything of the sort except the occasional allegation by someone that Armstrong beat.
Reading Armstrong's statement, I read is as "I've had enough of this fighting to clear my name - you guys can take your years upon years of unproven allegations and your vendetta and stick it where the sun doesn't shine - cancel my subscription, I'm done with your issues".
The USADA said that his history of passed tests were "irrelevant". WELL THEN WHY DO YOU TEST?
Posted 25 August 2012 - 04:36 PM
This is a witch hunt that the French are behind. They can't stand the thought that Lance Armstrong won their race and they've been out to get him or to get someone else to get him ever since.
If they could show one positive test it would be a different matter but the USADA can't show a single test that Lance Armstrong failed.
The USADA should be disbanded - they don't give the athletes due process and they claim they are doing a service to sports - quite the opposite, they make a mockery of the entire drug testing process.
And they never actually gave the name of anyone that had any evidence against Lance Armstrong. They were always nameless entities and how do you ask a nameless entity if they really said that?
Posted 25 August 2012 - 04:48 PM
I do t think they really can. The organizers of the Tour can strip the winnings I think, or the UCI. USADA does not have the jurisdiction.
That's my contention. So it would seem erroneous to say the bloody USADA "stripped him". They may have pressured others, certainly.
Posted 25 August 2012 - 05:08 PM
This witch hunt process for so many years has been a farce.
Lance will move on, be appreciated by millions of followers for how he contributed to the sport, and the sport itself may just perhaps die a slow death now (as an international event of major proportion).

after tour on the European pro circuit, then Lance comes in and whoops ass and gets the glory. Many cyclist have said if you train just for the Tour then you can do it like Lance. Unfortunately the haters want to bring him down so they constantly make doping claims.
Posted 25 August 2012 - 05:29 PM
ASPEN, Colo. - Lance Armstrong says he's more at peace now than he has been in a decade.
In his first interview since the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency disciplined Armstrong with a lifetime ban from professional cycling and vacated his seven Tour de France titles, he said, "Nobody needs to cry for me. I'm going to be great."

It's not just the French who were making accusations, a number of American racers were also lining up to testify that they saw him taking banned substances. It's sad.
I was hoping Lance would make it to the Olympics in the triathlon (his original sport at 16-18), but now that does not seem possible.
Posted 17 October 2012 - 09:13 AM
Armstrong has stepped down as Chairman of Livestrong, and Nike has severed their deal with Armstrong. They will continue their relationship with Livestong. Of course they could face other problems as well. Armstrong received bonuses for performance in race results. The USADA also says he testified under oath that he did not use performance enhancing drugs, so there's possible perjury as well.
Leipheimer has been dropped from the Quick Step team as well, due to his admitting to doping previously. I don't think it had been shown that he did this year while on the Quick Step team.
To say this is a huge mess is an understatement.

I hope France gets an apology out of this too.

No way - let them eat cake.More interesting to me... I remember all the anti-French stuff when France kept saying they thought Lance and others were doping... people said they were just jealous.
I hope France gets an apology out of this too.

Take the Common Core Outdoor: School gardens offer lessons beyond science and healthy eating as published in the Harvard Education Letter
By JANE S. HIRSCHI
When Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on the White House lawn with Bancroft Elementary students in 2009, she made the point that school gardens are a natural place for children to learn about local food systems and eating healthy food. Digging down into loam to discover sweet potatoes, nibbling on sweet lettuce, filling carts with luscious collard greens to give to the local food pantry-these images of schoolchildren in the garden have done as much as anything to elevate the profile of the school garden as a vehicle for children's good health.
There's something very important missing from this picture, however: the school garden as outdoor classroom.

The National Gardening Association surveyed 2,559 households nationwide on their awareness of and interest in providing gardening activities to children at school. Nineteen percent were aware of gardening activities for students at their local school. That contrasts with a majority of households (55 percent) that said gardening activities should be implemented whenever possible (35 percent), or should be implemented in every school (20 percent).
