As I understand it it is the Reikland that is what will be detailed of the Warhammer world in the core set?
Not a bad desicion to actually have a focus on a region then almost a whole continent. And it makes sense in a designer perspective. Reikland is the hotspot of activity in the Empire, maybe not on the borders of war, but still where a huge number of the empire humans live and many races visit (Marienburg is another place like this but independent).
One thing I do hope is that the setting books that very much likely will come will be meaty. 2nd ed Empire book was to thin and you could learn more about the empire by reading a few novels or searching on the net. But I also hope that there will be an Empire book, and not a book for each region - Rather a fat more expensive book, then several smal, not so expensive books but still quite expensive - as much of the FFG books are.
Also hope there will be a focus on setting books compared to adventure boks and equipment books.

HoodLamb will celebrate the hemp lifestyle and art at HoodLab tonight
HoodLamb's store, HoodLab, which doubles as an art gallery, sells the famous HoodLamb winter coats that have been worn by celebrities from Snoop Dogg to Willie Nelson. And the business's eco-friendly, organic approach also resonates with the local MMJ community, which congregates at the Lab every First Friday for rocking parties. Tonight HoodLab will welcome another artist to its gallery, photographer Kim Sidwell, with a party that doubles as a pro-Amendment 64 rally.

Over the years, the company has gained an international reputation for offering high-quality outerwear and clothing that's gone a long way to overcome the stigmas associated with hemp. HoodLamb has been a leader in making hemp clothing more stylish and wearable, pushing the envelope of the green movement by emphasizing eco-friendly, organically grown hemp.HoodLamb Adam Dunn.
HoodLamb is currently sponsoring the crew of the Sea Shepherd, featured on the TV show Whale Wars, supplying the team with coats, gloves and custom blankets. "We believe in the same things, and are part of the green movement," says Cici Dunn, wife of co-founder Adam Dunn. "We just have different roles, but we support their job fully."
To push their green message, the owners of HoodLamb have supplied coats for such music-industry celebrities as Snoop, Willie Nelson, Flavor Flav, Woody Harrelson, Redman, Binary Star, Jane's Addiction and Tommy Chong. They also possess a few dozen coats that were used like canvases by artists.
"Back when people like Michelangelo were painting, everything was hemp canvas, so it was a natural fit, plus we love art and culture and just wanted to bring some life to the coats," says Adam. "We didn't ever start selling them because we wanted to show the artists we really cared about the art more than the money, and if we never started selling them, we would never have to." They now use these shows for marketing, fashion shows and displays at the stores.
But the journey to build the brand got its start with far more humble beginnings.

A deadline until Friday was given to Nick Calathes by Panathinaikos in order "to sign" with the Greens, there's optimism in Athens about signing their top summer target, however things are still complicated. Eurohoops shades some light to this puzzling negotiation, which is still hot and very much alive. Calathes seems to be the only player for whom many top Euroleague teams are willing to spend big money, considering him capable of changing the balance of powers in the old continent and here are the facts about his situation so far.
So it's obvious that Calathes can't control his destiny. However if he is finally released by Memphis, his old team, Panathinaikos, will have to give a great fight and make an exceptional financial transgression in order to sign him. And if the Greens manage to get him, it will be the biggest summer signing in Europe.

I've got to say, I really think Epic Mickey brought a new light to Oswald. It's funny; I always knew that Oswald was the first official Disney character and the story of how he was "taken" from Walt. What Epic Mickey did though was put a life into that... a story of how Oswald may have felt as a result, thinking he had been "replaced" and not knowing the whole story. In other words, it gave Oswald a personality he'd not had before.
All that said, I also think Epic Mickey is the reason we're seeing so much re: Oswald these days.
Would things have been different? I think so! Absolutely! Oswald's character was very different than Mickey. He was, for lack of a better way of putting it, lacking in the childish innocence that Mickey grew into. I say "grew into" because really, at first, Mickey was even somewhat "adult". That said, the same could've happened with Oswald. Would Disney have become the icon it is today? Would parks celebrating Disney characters and imagination have sprung up all over the world? It's hard to say. It is undoubedtly one of those "butterfly effect" things though. I'm sure had Oswald not gotten "taken" away, the entire focus of Walt and Roy etc. would've been different. It was what happened with Oswald that lead them to be the shrewd business men they were. They were bitten and weren't going to let themselves be again.
Definitely makes you wonder... alas, without a time machine and the ability to change things without disrupting the present, we'll never know!

I have two of them from a carwash. They do not have removable tops, just a small hole. I was going to make water barrels, haven't gotten around to that. Also, I hate to cut my downspout. They are the original that came with the house (very old). What can I use them for? My husband probably wants them tossed come spring. |
Follow-Up Postings:
another question - if I were to use one of them as a rain barrel - what do I do with them in the winter? For all I know, they may have cracked already in the back yard. Maybe I should just cut them up for planters? |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 08 at 23:47
My next door neighbor has them lining the block wall that separates our houses with them,and has planted palm trees in them. Kathi |
You may not have to cut the downspout depending on how it's constructed. Mine came off the gutter with an elbow and then a straight section to the ground and another elbow to divert away from the house. In spring I remove the straight section and bottom elbow and run a flexible downspout to my rain barrell. Before freezing weather empty the rain barrell and store, I keep mine under the porch - as long as it's empty it will be fine. white plastic barrels make good planters for peas - the soil stays cool - I cut a couple of them up into 8" slices, filled them up with planting medium and planted peas. |

You can cut the tops off with a jigsaw, they make great recycling containers for deposit cans and bottles. |

We're building a home. Below is our kitchen layout with Reico. We are building with Merilat Classic Deluxe and overwhelmed with the different cabinets options. Where should we focus our attention? Thank you in advance for your advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not sure what Merillat Classic is, but our house was built with Merillat (I'm sure the builder's special) and they fell off the wall. Literally. A 96" run of cabinets - the backs of the cabinets stayed on the wall. The cabinet boxes separated from the backs and came crashing down with all of the contents. Cabinets were a mangled mess on our floor, all the contents broken, damaged the hardwood floor when they fell. I can show you pictures. This was in 2010. The house was built in 1999. Merillat offered to replace that run of cabinets (not including installation - just to give us new cabs). The insurance company ended up replacing our entire kitchen. |

Black fabric is very thin wool (for men's suits for the summer)
This product is for sale
By FEDRA at www.etsy.com
Apr 29, 2012, 09.44 AMby freaky-philomeen
whow, I love it!! I get the impression, that dramatic collars work better on short-or middle-long-sleeved garments anyway. and your creation beats the original ;))
Apr 29, 2012, 10.46 AMby FEDRA
You are very kind and I feel nice because of your words. It is a great compliment.
All variants of these dresses are interesting. and fabric also.
Thank you!
Enjoy sewing!
Apr 29, 2012, 08.03 AMby buddingnaturalist
Your version looks better than the original. Good job! How did you manage to license it for sale? I remember their online patterns being copyright free but didn't know that about the magazine versions too.
Apr 29, 2012, 10.36 AMby FEDRA
Thank you.
Have a great day!

I really like your version of this beautiful pattern. I think the soft wool suiting makes it look so soft and feminine.
Apr 28, 2012, 06.00 PMby FEDRA
The pattern is really nice. I think I'll make the next one of linen…maybe shorter..like jacket…with pants! ha ha imagination works!!

thank you so much,you are so kind.These compliments made my day great!
Apr 27, 2012, 07.40 PMby MientjiB
I like your fabric choice! It softens the shape of that wonderfully dramatic collar, making it more wearable in the day; also it gives it a 1950s look, which is very in at the moment!
Apr 28, 2012, 06.11 PMby FEDRA
Yes, pattern is from 2008 and looks so 50 "thanks for the comment
Apr 27, 2012, 07.39 PMby peaches2218
Great dress. Is it just me or does this 2008 pattern look eerily similar to a recent plus-sized evening wear pattern?
Apr 28, 2012, 05.34 PMby FEDRA
Patterns are often repeated even in Burda I think.Thank you.
Apr 27, 2012, 02.54 PMby VeraVenus

Christmas Morning Breakfast Bake
This luscious breakfast fits the bill and, best of all, will satisfy adults and kids alike. Brew a big pot of coffee: It's a meal your guests will want to linger over.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Photography: Romulo Yanes
Source: Everyday Food, December 2011
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 ounces Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 pound baby spinach (10 cups)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 9 large eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 cups 1 1/2-to-2-inch cubes Italian bread (from a 1-pound loaf)
- 6 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
Butter a 3-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add bacon, onion, and garlic and cook until onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Gradually add spinach to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
Scatter half the bread in dish and top with half the spinach mixture and half the cheese. Top with remaining bread, spinach mixture, and cheese. Pour egg mixture into dish and gently press bread to submerge. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Uncover dish and bake until bread is golden brown and custard is just set, 45 to 50 minutes (cover with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

This breakfast bake has become a family tradition in my house. My whole family loves it, and I especially love that I can prepare it the night before and it bakes while we open our gifts in the morning. It's always perfect and delicious!
larakingshipp 4 Jan, 2013
Yummy! Lovely presentation and very easy.
Filled the 8.5x11 dish to the brim but settled by the morning. Smelled wonderful in the oven and tasted great. I am not a breakfast casserole lover as they tend to be too heavy but the spinach and gruyere were great in this. Will definitely make again. Thanks! -
Natalia 26 Dec, 2012
Wow, what a great dish. was a little hesitant after reading the first review, but if you think about it, how can nutmeg, garlic and bacon have no taste? I let it sit overnight, baked it, and it rose up and was a beautiful souffle. The gryere adds a special wow in my opinion since it's a little bitter, a little sharp. I also added regular bacon to the canadian bacon. will definitely make this again and highly recommend this recipe.
Angie LaVanish 25 Dec, 2012
This was a great dish! Did not have Gruyere Cheese and substituted with Aged Swiss. Also used regular bacon ;). I will be making again!!!!
california girl 12 Nov, 2012
Tasteless and very dry. Made this exactly as the recipe was written and was so embarrased to serve this to my guest tonight. Stayed up late to write this review, hope to save others the disappointment!

Reality Check: Jajah
I must say that the "reality check" on Goowy worked better than I anticipated. Here's another product to look at called Jajah.
Jajah is a VOIP company. It enables you to make long distance calls for about $.02/minute. Some people's initial reaction will be, "I can already do this with Skype."
I don't think so. Jajah enables you to make a VOIP call from any phone to any phone. The call is initiated through the Jajah web site, but once initiated, the caller's and callee's computer are not utilized.
You can, for example, initiate the call for your cell phone, turn off your computer, jump in your car, and drive off. (You can't do that with a Skype phone in a Wifi network.)
Key points:
- There is nothing to download and install.
- No one needs to get an additional phone number--eg, you talk on your existing cell phone (or landline phone) to your parents in China on their existing cell phone (or landline phone).
- Your computer is not used as a node in a P2P network.
- You don't call an access number and get called back.

Geejam, Jamaica
Björk, Gwen Stefani, and India Arie have all checked in to music producer Jon Baker's treetops resort, where seven Zen-spare suites on six lush acres overlook Port Antonio and the Caribbean Sea. With a staff-to-guest ratio of 4 to 1, anything you ask for is possible, from a picnic of jerk chicken and planter's punch on Frenchman's Cove to spontaneous staff-led rafting trips. You can even have a band to back you up in the recording studio should you feel so inspired. In a world of cookie-cutter boutique hotels, Geejam is truly bespoke. Doubles from $595.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba Resort & Spa, Riviera Maya, Mexico
How do you make a splash in a destination that's already seen its share of It List hotels? Banyan Tree's first foray into North America starts with an impressive 50-foot pagoda-style lobby; moves into Asian-meets-Mexican-style villas with outdoor pools, Jacuzzis, and rooftop terraces; and really delivers on the promise of an Asian property by staffing its spa only with Thai-trained therapists. Once we were suitably relaxed (who can resist an alfresco treatment?), a riverboat awaited to bring us through a lush mangrove forest to a stretch of powdery white sand. Doubles from $495.

Looking for your Next Great Caribbean Getaway?We're betting it may be the Grenadines, a part of the still-unspoiled Windward Islands just west of Barbados, and especially Bequia, one of largest of the archipelago. At Firefly, a four-room oasis on an 18th-century plantation, a martini-shaking bartender arrives by speedboat; the wild beach is practically yours alone; and turndown includes candlelight, Billie Holiday on an iPod, and Italian linens. More hotels are on the horizon in Bequia, but for now, this is the spot for an idyllic, sybaritic fantasy. Doubles from $495, including breakfast.

The staff is still adjusting to the demands of such a huge hotel, but it's the public spaces that really impress: the epic lobby, the glowing floor of the Bleau Bar, and, outside, a seemingly endless series of pools, lounge chairs, palm trees, and more pools. Doubles from $249.

Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Hainan Island, China
Great Value Welcome to the Hawaii of the South China Sea. The 450-room Ritz-Carlton is a standout among the growing number of resorts on Hainan, China's only tropical island. Amid crowds of well-heeled mainland Chinese (including lovestruck newlyweds in matching Hawaiian shirts) we found a Forbidden City–inspired retreat with gardens, reflective lagoons, and wooden pillar-lined walkways. After a day spent by your villa's plunge pool, don't be daunted by the distance to the seawater-themed Espa at the other end of the resort: a personal butler awaits to drive you there. Doubles from $190.

Six Senses Destination Spa, Phuket, Thailand
Spa-obsessed jet-setters, take note: Six Senses has brought the best of Southeast Asia's healing arts to a speck of land off Phuket's eastern coast. A 26-acre retreat houses four individual spas—yes, four—each dedicated to Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, or Thai traditions. Many of the practitioners have trained for years to fine-tune a single treatment, which became apparent during our deep-tissue Indian Abhyanga massage. Between appointments, we lounged by the ocean and ordered seaside delivery of addictive Thai dishes such as chili lobster. Doubles from $1,102, including treatments and meals.
Courtesy of Uxua Casa Hotel
Uxua Casa Hotel, Trancoso, Brazil
Bahia's sexiest beach village takes a giant leap forward with this nine-suite gem masterminded by the creative director of Diesel. The design is outdoorsy elegant, with burnished reclaimed timber, billowing muslin curtains, and Midcentury Brazilian furnishings. The three best villas open onto the Quadrado, Trancoso's town green, and every evening, bossa nova wafts across the lawn, and you're right in the heart of the action. Doubles from $790, including breakfast.
Courtesy of The Dolder Grand
Dolder Grand, Zurich
It's rare that a hotel feels both stolidly conservative and explosively futuristic, but that's the effect architect Norman Foster has achieved with his redesign of the Dolder Grand, in Zurich. The hilltop property overlooks the city and lake, and the original 1899 façade and turrets, now restored, are flanked by dramatic new stone-and-glass buildings, the Golf Wing and the Spa Wing. Inside, gently curving hallways evoke a 2001: A Space Odyssey sort of mood, and wooden doors open to reveal quietly modern guest rooms—off-white leather upholstery, smoked-oak flooring, and private terraces. Doubles from $769.

ME Barcelona
Great Value We may never have ventured into Poblenou, Barcelona's emerging tech district, if it weren't for Dominique Perrault's 400-foot-tall glass-and-steel den of cool. Barcelona's beautiful people bear the 15-minute cab ride from the city center to arrive at this hotel (surprisingly, run by Sol Meliá, better known for its all-inclusives), where they gather on ebony wingback chairs and chalk-white daybeds at Angels & Kings, an outpost of musician Pete Wentz's New York bar. We couldn't get over our room's postcard-perfect views of the Sagrada Familia, the Agbar Tower, and the hills of Catalonia beyond. Doubles from $236.
Lily Becker
Mondrian, Miami Beach
Dutch designer Marcel Wanders's Baroque-minimalist palace on the calm waters of Biscayne Bay is a feast for the imagination: Step inside, and South Beach's Art Deco aesthetic melts away. In the lobby, stark white surfaces lead to a latticed black spiral staircase, and rooms come with enormous digitally manipulated femme-fatale paintings. When it all becomes too much—the chandelier that turns out to be a showerhead; the trompe l'oeil cloud-mosaic bathroom tiles—retreat to the hotel's waterside patio to take in the Technicolor sunset over downtown Miami. Doubles from $495.

WoW Insider's Guide to Chimaeron {WoW}
Jan 5th 2011 2:44PM Ugh, again with misinformation about Break. The healing debuff is healind *done*, and it's there to prevent the tank from being able to heal himself over 10k every hit. The increased damage that break stacks is actually to *prevent* the tank with break also eating double attack. Don't be afraid of break -- increased damage to the tank doesn't mean anything when bile-o-tron is active. As already suggested, the correct way to deal with this encounter is to have an offtank taunt when Chimaeron gets the Double Attack buff, and the main tank taunts back immediately after Chimaeron hits the OT. You only need to keep the OT healed to full.
The Queue: Patience is a virtue {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2010 1:34AM @Eyhk: I'm guessing that rng is mostly to prevent bots from autofishing? if you know the bobber will appear where the cursor casts to, then it might be easier to wait for the sound event and click again in that same location? just guessing, not a bot programmer ;)
Breakfast Topic: The Happy Accidents {WoW}
Dec 19th 2009 11:57AM @Yakuko, maybe we have different versions of recount, but I've asked pugs to post stats just so I could compare, and the only ones that are off by more than 10% are the occasional casters/hunters who stand at max range. Yeah, there has been more variation than when I compare with local groups, but I haven't seen anything like 1k dps differences (barring, like I said above, the hunter who was standing at max range).
Breakfast Topic: The Happy Accidents {WoW}
Dec 19th 2009 11:28AM @Sky, recount is working fine as long as you're not more than 30 yards away from your other members. I find it cute, though, that all the fail dps use the "Recount duzn't werk acros svrs noobs!" argument to excuse their poor performance.
Raid Rx: Cheater's guide to healing heroic Val'kyr Twins {WoW}
Dec 4th 2009 2:18AM Those are hard ways to do it, imho. Posters have already touched on improved methods, I guess there are a lot of variations on the theme. Our method is:
1. The two tanks wear the appropriate essence for the boss they're tanking. They always stay this essence and are healed through / use cooldowns during opposite vortex. Both bosses are tanked next to eachother.
2. Two more members with high health (we use our other two tanks) are designated ball poppers, and wear the opposite essence of the raid. They protect the raid who is all bunched up by popping all balls of the wrong color for the raid, one in front and one in back.
3. The raid starts off with dark essence and immediately sets up by a light essence portal. If the special is the dark vortex or corresponding shield, the raid can sit and pew pew. If it's the wrong shield, everyone switches target and color and breaks the shield, while the soakers switch which balls they're popping. No real need to use lust as long as everyone is quick about target and portal switching. Then the raid runs as a group when clear to the dark portal, and repeat this process till boss dies.
That method works fine as long as your soakers are on the ball about stopping the wrong color balls from hitting the raid, and always aware of what essence the raid currently is. It's a lot easier to find two good people to do this, than try to rely on the entire raid being aware. Tanks, obviously, are already people with high awareness and mobility, so it's a natural fit.
Officers' Quarters: More loot-rolling shenanigans {WoW}
Nov 2nd 2009 5:09PM UGH. People, PLEASE stop rating comments up and down based on if you disagree/agree with the content. The rating system IS NOT a popularity contest; it's a spam/inappropriateness filter. LilBanshee has had every comment downrated, yet there is no spam, he is not calling anyone names, and is generally presenting a very cogent argument. You may disagree with him, but that is NOT a good reason to downrate him. This isn't grade school where we're picking who's on the Cool Team and who isn't; we are all reasonable adults (okay, maybe that's a stretch) who can disagree with eachother in a mature manner.
Patch 3.3 PTR: Valithria Dreamwalker impressions {WoW}
Oct 31st 2009 2:24PM I don't understand the irrational exuberance over this encounter. All they've done is add an NPC that isn't on grid for me to heal. Woo. So dynamic. Or not. It's the same as any other fight; Don't stand in crap, do stand in shinies, be mobile, and heal. The fact that I now have to focus an npc and heal my focus doesn't really add anything to the encounter. Don't get me wrong -- I love the game, and I love the encounters -- ALL of the encounters -- and I'm excited about ALL of Icecrown. I just don't understand why some healers think this is some revolutionary encounter change.
Ready Check: Anub'arak {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2009 2:09PM AKSubaru:
1) They didn't kill Anub in 2:28, I merely linked the third phase.
2) It was a heroic kill, so they did not significantly outgear the encounter. Nor is it an "easy" way to kill him; the first time a guild meets Anub on normal, it is easiest to rely on your dps to compensate for overhealing. This does not mean, however, that you shouldn't or can't expect more from your healers, mainly tight coordination on healing pen cold.
3) You don't need HST ticking for 600 to be able to keep the group up. 400 is sufficient, which is easily accomplished with a glyph.
I don't feel that showing a different method -- in this case, relying on some awesome healer coordination to heal everyone's pen cold before the first tick, which allows you to keep your raid at a minimum of health -- is detrimental to people approaching Anub on Normal. In fact, it's that kind of coordination that will allow your raiders to succeed on Heroic content. This method actually alleviates pressure on DPS because you're healing Anub for an absolute minimum.
That kind of coordination and planning is exactly what allows guilds to beat content BEFORE they outgear it. If you're killing Anub while keeping the raid at half health, you already outgear the encounter because you're relying on your dps to brute force your way through a lack of coordination from your healers.
Ready Check: Anub'arak {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2009 12:34PM AKSubaru:
Here's a WoL parse of Wraith's p3 for Anub: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/K7cGl2UdMRApzJtb/sum/healingDone/?s=7884&e=8033
There is incidental raid healing from talents/glyphs -- ancestral awakening from the shaman, glyph of holy light from the paladins -- but there is no CoH, no Wild Growth, no Chain Heal. Wrate's Rejuvs are only on pen cold victims and tanks, not being spammed across the raid. You can parse the logs for anyone and see the same - for example, Helix. The only healing he's getting from 22:19:02 to 22:20:39 is from HST, JoL, and holy light glyph. At 22:20:39 he gets penetrating cold and is healed through it by Kunst, until it fades at 22:20:57 where he returns to only getting HST/JoL heals.
Or, check out their video and look at the grid -- scary stuff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I657yBBj46c
Ready Check: Anub'arak {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2009 11:54AM Leeching swarm is based off current health, not maximum health. For normal mode your dps should be able to handle killing him with the raid sitting at half health, which also mitigates the problem of having to heal pen cold victims before the first tick. You're right that the ability alone will not kill anyone provided there is some raid healing -- healing stream totem, vamp embrace, JoL, LotP. The trick in heroic is keeping the raid at 1k health while having your healers get heals off on pen cold victims before the first tick of the dot.

The Aston Martin Rapide, Bentley Mulsanne, Ferrari FF, Land Rover Range Rover, and Roll-Royce Phantom are an incredibly diverse quintet, with priorities ranging from ultimate performance to overt opulence. However, one thing these high-end luxury vehicles all have in common is that they can accommodate four passengers. We drove them in England, on real roads and in real traffic, on wet and dry pavement, to find out whether the newest member of the group, the brawny 2013 Range Rover, can challenge and possibly eclipse its even more expensive rivals. In this group test, we are looking not only for speed, space, traction, roadholding, street cred, and the latest technological wizardries. What counts more than any individual strength is the blend of all-around ability and appeal. That includes appearance and ambience, whether your eyes light up when they spot a series of corners, how these cars perform when pushed, and the overall feel-good rating that, even in a four-seater, is defined not only by packaging and functionality but also by style and craftsmanship.
Range Rover Supercharged
A relatively affordable attempt at creating the best of all worlds.
Visually, the new Range Rover is an evolution rather than a revolution, although it does have more bling than its charmingly stiff, upright, and royal predecessor. The only debatable detail is the trademark gills that have been moved from the front fenders -- where they made some sense -- to the doors, where they don't. The tailgate is again split horizontally, and both parts are power operated. The lower one is now less deep, so a person no longer needs a telescoping torso to reach into the cavernous luggage bay. When you opt for the Autobiography trim level and the Executive Class package fitted to our test car, you get two bucket seats that can, with the push of a button, trade rear-seat recline for cargo space. Despite the combed-back windshield and the ten-percent more slippery shape, the Range Rover still faces the wind with the posture of a brick mansion.
Modern luxury surrounds the driver. Like the exterior, the interior is evolutionary, but this time the motto was "less is more." Less as in fewer knobs and buttons; a bigger and easier-to-read touchscreen flanked by eight intuitive keys; more straightforward climate controls; a restyled multifunctional steering wheel; and the same rotary gear selector we know from other upper-class Tata models. So far, so good. The dislikes are not huge, but in this illustrious company no flaw goes unnoticed: The digital instruments look cheap, the inner armrests need to be lifted whenever you fasten or unfasten the seatbelt, some surfaces are borderline in terms of quality and fit, and simple things such as selecting your favorite radio station require more steps than in the other cars. There is no way to avoid going through submenus on the touchscreen, no head-up display, and no automatic stop/start system. Terrain Response 2 lacks a simple comfort/sport selector that would allow you to tweak the character of the car or, better still, its individual dynamic properties.
The new model from Solihull managed to do what few of us can: it lost weight. Depending on the powertrain, between 750 and 850 pounds have been jettisoned, which is a lot but is only about a fourteen-percent reduction of the still-substantial grand total. At 5137 pounds, the supercharged variant is no Lotus Elise, but at least it now compares very favorably with the BMW X5, the Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz M-class. The switch to the Premium Lightweight Architecture (PLA) codeveloped with Jaguar transforms the SUV's handling. Forget everything you disliked about Range Rovers: submarine-inspired understeer, Queen Mary-esque body roll, anteater brake dive, and steering that left school before the cornering lessons started. The 2013 Rover not only feels less top-heavy, it also shed pounds in the chassis department, where aluminum subframes and suspension elements create a playful light-footedness. The engineers are particularly proud of two new features, Terrain Response 2 and Dynamic Response. TR2 is standard and denotes an additional mode that autonomously selects the appropriate drive program from an unchanged choice of five settings; DR is Land Rover-speak for self-acting, switchable antiroll bars and comes on all supercharged models. Driver intervention is still required to dial in low range and hill-descent control.
Shod with optional 275/45WR-21 Goodyears, our Range Rover doesn't ride all that well around town, where the stiff sidewalls and the firm air springs make for bobbing headlights and tap dancing over drainage grids. Above 40 mph, however, all that goes away, and instead, a cushy comfort zone prevails. Unlike its ancestors, which were all over the place when pushed hard, the new Range Rover is in total command. The steering in particular is a real gem. It holds a straight line even on bumpy off-camber blacktop, provides exactly the right measure of turn-in support, is incredibly precise, and executes sudden changes of direction without undue weight and effort. True, the turning circle is vast, and some might prefer lighter steering effort at parking speeds. The brakes combine strong initial bite with plenty of stamina and an easy-to-modulate pedal. It's only on the last few yards before standstill that a heavier-than-expected effort is required to squash that ambitious kinetic energy.
The supercharged V-8 runs smoothly and quietly unless you really push it, but its thirst is enormous and those 510 horses take a little longer than they should to pool their energy and beam the vehicle toward the horizon. With the throttle fully depressed, the SC roars from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, according to its maker. Forward thrust expires at a comparatively tame 140 mph. The maximum torque of 461 lb-ft provides an addictive measure of mid- to top-end grunt, making passing maneuvers exceptionally easy. This is sports car swiftness dressed in a traditional SUV silhouette.

Aston Martin Rapide
A remarkably emotional achievement on a shoestring budget.
Every Aston Martin -- besides the silly Cygnet -- is built on the company's VH architecture, which combines dimensional flexibility with a choice of body styles. Thanks to VH, Aston can build small production runs (1000 Virages, 101 Zagatos, fewer than 150 V12 Vantage roadsters) at a profit. The Rapide, the brand's second-most-popular model, is loosely based on the DB9. The beautiful four-door "coupe" sports a long if narrow liftgate and a large, 11.2-cubic-foot trunk. Less generous is the second-row passenger compartment. There are two seats, but access through the narrow swan-wing doors is handicapped by tall sills and a sloping roofline, and the center console is unnecessarily wide. The space suffices only for children and flexible adults. Although the rear of the Aston is marginally easier to access than the Ferrari's, once you're inside, the FF is actually roomier and more comfortable.
Inside, the Rapide is old-school Aston Martin. Welcome to an orgy of leather and wood and chrome, handbuilt to order, beautiful to the eye and memorable to the touch. Never mind the center console, which looks like a complicated high-end stereo from the 1970s. It's best to leave it alone, choose a temperature setting, set the transmission to Sport and the dampers to Track, and keep an eye on the small digital speedometer. One dab at the Emotion Control Unit (a.k.a. the ignition key) will startle the neighbors. The sounds of the V-12 range from a hammering, tinnitus-inducing idle to a low-frequency midrange yell that can shake windowpanes loose to full-throttle thunder that strips trees of their fall foliage as you fly past. The extroverted V-12 may deliver a relatively modest 470 hp, but when the intake plenum fills its mighty lungs, the Aston sounds and feels like the fastest car in this group. In reality, it takes 5.0 seconds to bellow from 0 to 60 mph. The top speed is a remarkable 184 mph, and the fuel-mileage rating is tied for the best in this thirsty group, but that's really not saying much.
Although the six-speed automatic transmission works well in D, it would be a shame to ignore the ergonomic shift paddles, which are much more rewarding to use. In sport mode, a heavy right foot is all it takes to make the fat Bridgestones shriek with joy in first and second gear, but thanks to the 295/35YR-20 rubber and the transaxle layout, traction isn't really an issue. The car simply tucks in, hangs on, and comes clean. Although deactivating stability control encourages the Rapide to fishtail at the exit of just about every second-gear bend, drama is not the Aston's forte, nor is it its main trait. Instead, this is a wonderfully communicative GT, a car that will talk you through all the way to the limit and beyond, a gifted g-force artist and a totally transparent tool. The number-one sweet spot is the steering. Initially a touch on the light side, the electro-hydraulic rack-and-pinion device keeps you informed and in charge at all times. Everything about it is spot-on: ratio, sensitivity, speed, weight, action, holding force, self-centering motion, dampening. Full praise also goes to the brakes. They can be noisy, and they smell when worked hard, but the pedal is a pleasure to modulate, effort and deceleration are always in balance, and we have yet to find a road that exhausts the system's remarkable stopping power.

Sara Happ's Lip Slip Gloss Seen In The Zoe Report! » -
A beauty junkie's addiction can be easily seen first hand by taking a peak through her makeup bag. One of the key items always found is a stash of lip products varying in lip glosses, lip sticks or stains of different shades, shimmers and textures. It's very typical of women that we cannot be satisfied with bare lips for to long and having a lip product tucked away in our purse makes for a kind of security blanket of sorts.
This very discussion was the key topic in this mornings The Zoe Report's e-newsletter along with their '10 Picks to Pucker Up' your lips for spring. One of the covetable picks which is no surprise to us is Sara Happ's recent addition, The Lip Slip Gloss saying, "Prep your pucker for a shine-filled season with this must have gloss." Only $18, this #1 selling item is a pocket sized and finger friendly gloss that delivers maximum shine and deep conditioning for your precious lip pillows!

I've got an expensive problem and I don't know what to do. Every water hose I buy, not matter the quality doesn't last but about 6 months to a year. The fittings rust and break off! They break off in the hose connectors and in the spray heads. I saw somewhere that you could order rubber hoses with stainless steel fittings but all I've found are the fittings and hoses separate. Anybody know where I can buy a good quality hose with stainless steel fittings???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you looked or considered heavy solid brass fittings. I would think major Hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowes would have them. I have used solid male and female ends and feel they will have the female coupled to the ribbed hose connection. |
- Posted by weed_cutter (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 22:11
I have never had a problem with the brass end connecting to a brass valve, but I have had zinc sprayers corrode onto the male end of a hose. Now I just loosen and tighten that connection every couple of months. Replacement hose ends are pretty cheap and I prefer the plastic ones. |
- Posted by backwoodsgirl none (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 22:37
It says brass on the label so I figure it's brass. We've got a LOT of bacterial iron, tanins and sulfur in our water. You can't even drink it. So, our water hose connectors and such get eaten up. We are having to replace all our pipes because of it. Here's just how bad it is.... Those copper pot scrubbers fall apart within just a couple of days because of our water. Brass usually has copper in it. |
Sears Craftsman hoses have a lifetime guarantee. |
I would just get the plastic ones as suggested. they will leak or break it you ruff handle them, but they are cheap and can buy 3 to 4 to one vs the $4 to $7 dollar and up heavy duty brass ones. I find that rubber hose out last the end connectors. I have pex kit so I get the heavy duty brass ones and pex ring them on. Never pull off or leak. I don't like vinlyn/plastic hoses Cheap all way around and get twisted and colaspe |
Yes, plastic is used with acids and bases. Use them instead of metal. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chelsea!
Facts about Chelsea
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Chelsea's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Chelsea is a 5-6 month old Shepherd mix that loves to play and be pet. We pulled her from a local shelter less than 24 hours before she was to be put down.....before her life had even begun!! She's current on shots and will be spayed soon. Come out and meet her....she'll win your heart!! For more information, contact Bob with Ready 2 Rescue @ 214-681-5978. Her adoption fee is $125.00.
Other Pets at Ready 2 Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chelsea, a Rockwall Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Rockwall, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Rockwall.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rockwall 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 Rockwall 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 Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rockwall paves the way for another one to be saved.

Actor Tony Danza is heading back to the classroom to front his own reality TV show about education.
The former Taxi star, 58, admits he is struggling to find work as an actor, so he has decided to spend a year teaching 10th grade English at a New York City school - and film it for an as-yet-untitled series. And Danza, who earned a degree in history education from Iowa`s University of Dubuque before launching his acting career, insists the program will carve out a new genre for reality TV.
He says, "I was talking about going back and answering the call to service and doing something different with my life. I`m going to teach 10th grade English and have some other duties, maybe a drama class, and all of th...

Dancind, I have never seen the parade. One of my co workers was there and she was actually at the Not so scary halloween party the very night our group was up on the viewing platform outside Cali Grill. Kind of a weird coincidence. She was there with a just adult party too and they had a blast.
LMP, how was your DS's first day at the hospital? Minijeanie, The Wyndham resort is pretty large, 6 multi floor towers and a hotel as well, 2 lazy rivers, and a number of pools and hot tubs. However, it seems easy to me to get to one building from another around the interior path around the lake. The lazy river I prefer was down for maintenance which I did not expect, but I decided to think that it would just be nicer when I return. I like staying there, have stayed in 5 different buildings. Building 2 was not my favorite but the rooms were renovated and very nice. I actually like best the presidential units which are mostly in Tower 6, could not get one this time since we arrived on a Thursday. We also figured out the last night a great spot at the restaurant at the hotel that you can see pretty much all of the Epcot fireworks sitting at a table on the deck. Our room had a view of the Waldorf golf course and nice sunsets, but I prefer the rooms that overlook the lace towards the west for the same sunsets over the water. We arrived on a Thursday, not the best day to have lots of choices. The owner suggests arriving on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, with Sunday being the best choice, due to turnover. Smilie, sorry to hear that your doctor that you love so much is retiring. That must be hard for you, especially when the selection of doctors is sparse. I hope he can help you with a reference to someone he has confidence in. How unprofessional about how the roofer left you high and dry that way! Maybe it is best you aren't using him? Does not sound like someone you can depend on. DH has to replace the car he is driving, as the alternator has gone bad. It is old anyway and he needs something that gets more miles per gallon. Anyone try a hybrid here? He has looked at both the Toyatas and the Hondas, seems to prefer the Prius. He has taken a lot of test drives, he needs to make a decision by Monday-no pressure. Our kids seem to be doing well right now, I am feeling blessed yet old as they are growing up and away it seems.

Snappy, I drive a 2010 Prius, got it when they were having some really good lease specials. Planning to buy it next year, I love my car. The only downside is it's really low to the ground, we're alway hitting the front end on something! But it sure is grand to take on road trips and get 50 mpg. Very comfortable too, at least for me!

Laurie - glad to see that you are having a great and relaxing time
smiley - I am sure it is so hard when you like and trust your dr. and plus he is your friend. I hope you get someone as nice to replace him. Sorry about the roof. Is it the whole roof you are replacing? I when I read your roof thing. Reminded me of how dh was in college doing his internship but he took a part time job doing roofs on the week ends in Tennessee to pay for my engagement ring. He said it was so hot up there his sneakers melted onto a roof once and another time he woke up on the ground and his boss said get up and get back to work and stop being lazy. Um, he passed out from heat stroke etc. Is the weather warm enough there that the roof will have time to cook on as dh calls it?? We are waiting till next summer to do ours. Diana - glad you are finding someone that is helping with the lymphedema Linda - I am dreaming of the World Series again Sha - sure you are very busy The weather here is strange. Tomm 75 and then sun 55 ish. Wow. Found out ds1 has a girlfriend. He is very personal and doesnt share anything. hope it works out. I think this might be a girl someone at work set him up with. Ds3 got an 88 on his Fundamentals of Nursing test. He said a few people had meltdowns, cried and some in his group failed. He is back at the nursing home tomm. Dh promised we would do anything I wanted this week end since he is never here and now I am carless again etc. We shall see. Havent heard from either dr. yet about my tests. Strange. GAGWTA. |

We called another roofer based on 2 different people we know using them and being very happy. He called me back within a couple of hours and has already been to the house, he will be back tomorrow to do up proper measurements etc so I think it will work out. Poor hubby!! the things we do for love..... Lol!! From what I know the roof does not have to "bake on" regardless we are still having sunny weather, with no rain in the forcast for another couple of weeks. We are actually in a drought situation! very unusual for us here but I love it!! it is not the whole thing, about 1/3 the whole thing is cedar shakes, but the part to be done was an addition to the house before we moved in and the roof is not pitched steeply enough for it to be shakes thus the water and snow did not drain off properly and it rotted. It's all along the east side of the house, away from the street can't be seen, so we are replacing it with 30 year fiberglass/ashphalt shingles in a color to match the cedar. As long as I don't have water dripping down from the laundry room ceiling I will be happy!!
I am going to pay dear daughter and her fiance to do my kitchen for me, they are very happy to do it, they have a 2 week trip to the cancun area planned for november and are trying to get together as much money as possible for it. I will leave my debit card here for them to purchase supplies, and get help with whatever is needed, and hubby and I are going on another road trip probably only as far as the Big Sur area, around monteray, we don't plan on staying in San Francisco this time, just stopping for dinner. We want to spend more time in Sacramento as well. I will see how I do with being only a few hours drive away from Disneyland and not going.....

Good afternoon sist
3 guesses to who is leaving on a jet plane today, ok. that was too easy dh He had to make an emergency trip to Portland with some guy. He will be back thurs. and then next thurs. he is going to Michigan, sigh, sigh. My R hip is bothering me, so I think I am definetly calling the endo tomm. to check on my bone scan etc. I was around so many sneezy, sniffly people at churd yest, I really need to get a flu shot. Bittersweet day yest. Miss A. from our church is moving. She is the one who has skin cancer and had my same ent surgeon. Sadly I think the cancer is being very aggressive and is now affecting her eye. She said our surgeon gave her a hug. I told her, she must be really special because he never hugged me etc. (So glad she doesnt know he almost killed me!) Ds 3 is back to the nursing home on Friday. He is managing but said this is not where he wants to be when all is said and done. He thinks he would like the emergency room or psych nursing. Texted our sista Candy. She sends her love to all and will be back on line soon as she is getting a computer. Tomm. I have a meeting but it is suppose to rain so we shall see. Hope everyone is doing ok. Blessings to you all. GAGWTA |

Good afternoon sistas
I got good news about my bone scan. The number is up and the dr. is happy, so they said I need to get another infusion next month. Now I just have to call the ins. company and make sure they have a "buy and bill" program so they can buy the med and bill the ins. com. Remember my reclast runaround last year?? This stuff costs like $1100!! I scheduled it for mid nov. before our trip. She said I shouldnt have the bad side effects like I had last time but we shall see. Nothing is ever normal for me and she knows that, so I will hope for the best and expect the worst anyway. Dh is home. Yay, let him in the door at 6 am and he got ready for work. Maybe we can go pumpkin picking this week end but the ds all seem to be passing around a cold that I dont want. GAGWTA |

I don't know if it's ok to post on here or not, since I don't have an official dx yet. Please excuse if not, I am just very worried. I had a core needle biopsy on two spots on the 11th and am sweating the results.
I started having a tightening feeling in my left breast about 3 weeks ago, it felt like something was in there. I could not feel anything with my fingers but it felt like a stone in my breast when I walked, sat, slumped, etc. This same feeling happened like 10 years ago and I gave up caffeine and never had it again. I was told at that time I had fibrocystic breasts, but once I quit the caffeine I was told they were just dense. I have been drinking diet coke a lot lately so put it down to that. Two weeks ago, I started having deep itching in that same breast. I always get surface itching before my P, but not inside itching you can't scratch. I should say I am on a pill now that keeps me from having my P so I thought maybe that was why, but it still concerned me. That was on a Wed night. I called my doctor on Monday and had a diagnostic mammo & US set up on Wednesday. I also saw my ob/gyn that day who felt nothing more than fibrocystic changes but does not like itching as a symptom so he sent me to a breast surgeon to be careful. The mammo came back clear, no significant changes from my baseline 5 years ago (I am 39). All it saw was extremely dense breasts and a benign lymph node in the axillary tail, assessment: BENIGN. The u/s worries me: Findings: There is a 9.3 mmm ovoid solid nodule at the 12:00 psoition in the left breast which is somewhat ill-defined and demonstrates slight posterior shadowning whitout hypervascularity. Additionally, there is an ovoid 9.3 mm mildly lobulated solid nodule at the 11:00 psotion which also demonstrates faint posterior shadowing without hypervascularity. No other abnormality is seen. Impression: Solid nodules at the 11 and 12 position are moderately suspicous for malignancy. Biopsy of both lesions utilizing sonographic guidance is recommended. I talked to my ob/gyn and he said to try not to worry about this all weekend, they see these reports all the time and not having hypervascularity is a good thing. But all I can see is 'moderate' and 'malignancy.' I don't know about my dad's side because he was basically a hit and run procreator, but the only cancer of any kind on my mom's is a great-grandfather who was an alcoholic for many years died from stomach cancer in his 70s and grandfather who was outside all the time, bald with no hat, died from melanoma in his 70s. I am having such an anxiety attack over those words, and I have anxiety issues anyway. What do you all think? If this is inappropriate, I apologize. I saw on another thread that this was a good place to ask as you are familiar with the vocabulary on these things. Thank you for reading this far.

Good news on the scan, LMP!
Jobhunter, I am sorry but I can't really help you on the findings on ultra sound report. I am hoping someone else will chime in. It is certainly appropriate for you to post here, never fear that. I am sorry I can't help. I am hoping someone else who has had an ultrasound will chime in. When do you expect the results from the biopsy? Truly that is the ultimate answer, both Mammograms and ultrasounds, even MRI's are all just diagnostic not definitive. The worst part of this is the waiting for the biopsy report. Please try and occupy your mind as you can. As one of our long time poster's husband who is an avid hunter once said, try and "don't bleed till your shot." Hard to do, I know. I am thinking others will have something more substantial to share with you, but I wanted to post and say I am thinking of you, and hoping for the best outcome.

I've bolded things I think are positive about your findings. Cancers aren't round and nice; they're splotchy and ugly. So round and nice is good. Same with the hypervascularity. Tumors need blood supply to grow, and often have a lot of it. None in your case. That's great. I've been in a similar situation (before my actual breast cancer) and the ovoid spot I had was a lymph node. I'm hoping the same for you, but totally understand the worry. HTH a bit. Hang in there!

Thank you all so much! They called me today and said the results were benign, but not what it was or if I need to have them out anyway. I guess I will find that out on Wednesday when I go back to have my biopsy sites checked. Thank you all so much.

Jobhunter, I am so glad to hear you got good news.
Ladies, it has been a while since I posted. Things have been terribly hectic around here. My stepdaughter and grandson are living in a house that the bank has foreclosed on. They are waiting for the notice to vacate. We'd let them live with us but her husband has to come with her! So they begged us to help them buy a foreclosed on fixer upper in southern NH. The house was in really bad shape but they had all the workers lined up and they were all friends who would do things for cost. So we took out a home equity line of credit and bought the house. Since then, none of the expected work has been done. We are fighting with our son in law who evidently wants to take off to Kentucky and raise horses so he is deliberatly sabotaging everything we try to do! Major stress in the household! And in the middle of all that, I went for what was supposed to be my last three month cystoscopy. It would mark two years since diagnosis and I would graduate to six month checkups. Instead they found several small tumors in a new location. It is expected that they are high grade bladder cancer just like the last ones but hopefully these have not penetrated the bladder lining like the first tumors. I will find out soon. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. And then I am leaving for Food and Wine Festival on Saturday! It will keep my mind off waiting for the appointment to review pathology. But the doctor has already warned me that I will be doing more chemo. Can hardly wait for that to begin! LMP - glad you got good results on your scan.

Is Your Kitchen Counter Giving You Back Pain?
If you suffer from back pain, and you spend a lot of time cooking (or preparing food), you may want to take a closer look at your work surface. A counter too high or too low for your height can force you to hunch over, straining the muscles in your neck, shoulders, and lower back.
To check the height of the counter before you slice and dice: Put your arms at your sides and bend your elbows to 90 degrees. The surface should be no more than a few inches below your hands. If it's too low, stack cutting boards; if it's too high, stand on a sturdy step stool. To lessen back strain, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders back, and knees soft.
