Have any of you ever eaten these, whether or not you've made them? I do adventuresome cooking and occasionally see an exotic recipe calling for them as an ingredient. Since I have a pile of really nice organic Florida citrus given to me as a gift, I thought I might try an on-line recipe. I would put the jars in the refrigerator since I have yet to see an approved BWB recipe for preserved citrus!

There are a number of recipes that call for Lemons preserved in salt..... basically layering the lemon slices in-between layers of salt. Any citrus can be sliced and stored in the fridge in a one-to-one or one-to-two sugar solution.... the first one being the amount of sugar and the second the amount of water. The soaking-syrup is also wonderful when you need to add a little something to a sweet recipe. |

I've preserved lemons (a combination of Wolfert's method and Kremezi's seasonings). I use salt, lemon juice, pink peppercorns, fresh bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Carol |

I haven't eaten them yet. I just made Moroccan preserved lemons per Wolfert (although I added a couple cardomom pods). I wondered about making some with garlic, rosemary, bay leaf and peppercorns.... I used Meyers lemons. I will look into preserved limes and oranges, sounds interesting! |
This thread, and the fact that I have more ripe Meyers lemons than I can use, inspired me to try this. I made two batches, one plain (just the salt) and the other one using peppercorns, bay leaves, cardamom, and I think coriander (I could not find my cinnamon sticks), well, and salt too of course. I used the method described by Wolfert (quarter lenghtwise, and pack with salt). They look really lovely, all the bright lemon quarters in the jars with the spices and salt. The juice that came off the lemons just pressing them against the jar is covering the whole thing. They are very juicy lemons. I know, not a true lemon... According to the instructions they should be ready in about a week from now. How do I tell if they are ready or not? Any recommendations for recipes where I can use these preserved lemons? any other words of advice? |
Cinnamon sticks keep almost forever. Suggest that you get a few and keep them in an air tight jar for use later. I have chips, whole, and ground cinnamon. Also, there are a few different types, some with more oil than others, some sweet, some hot. So a mix is always good. For a spices, I would not use many peppercorns, but instead, allspice and maybe a touch of clove. |
I don't know about processing the salt preserved citrus but you can BWB citrus sections in water, juice or syrup though I don't think most people like canned citrus. |
I *HEART* preserved lemon's. I tend to not go through fresh lemon's very quickly and I love preserved lemon's for their versatility! I mince them up and add them to salad dressings, into sauces, basically anything that calls for lemons. I also had a sliver to limoncello martini's and other mixed drinks. I have yet to experiment with preserved limes and today I'm going to try my hand at preserved oranges. I just think the "pickled" orange zest will go amazing with some whiskey! |

Did you get to make the preserved oranges? How did they turn out? Were they sweet, grocery store eating and juicing oranges? Thank you |
I made preserved lemons, one batch with canning salt and one with Kosher salt. Both were inedible. I must have done something wrong, though how many ways can you add salt to citrus and put in a jar? (rhetorical question) Nancy |
- Posted by merrybookwyrm 7/8 dfw (My Page) on Thu, Mar 21, 13 at 15:52
Thank you for answering. I'm sorry your lemons were inedible. Pooh. |
I do salt preserved lemons & oranges every citrus season. This year, i decided to one-up myself and i made sale & pepper preserved kumquats as well! I love, love, love salt preserved citrus. They're perfect for a well stocked home bar and they are great for any recipe that calls for citrus zest, I just chop them into tiny, tiny pieces. I love, love, love them! Hi Nancy! How long did you let them ferment on your counter for? |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 23:48
Please do let me know the end of this story. I would live to try preserved lemons but not if they turn out to be inedible. I will do some research while I wait for your results and thanks for the neat ideas! |
Treehugger: one year I had many, many lemons. In addition to juicing the lemons to freeze for lemonade, I also made: lemon oil - hard to use effectively; Lemon's preserved in salt - apparently not for my ethnic type of cooking; Lemon peel soaked in a simple sugar solution - very useful using both the preserved lemon peel and the flavorful syrup; Lemon peel preserved in granular sugar - OK but not highly useful as the sought for flavored sugar; Whole sliced lemons buried in sugar - made lots of very sweet lemon juice that fermented and made a delightful addition to Vodka! |
Wait, wait, wait. Whole sliced lemons buried in sugar? I'm intrigued. Please explain :) |
:-). I thick-sliced lemons and layered them in sugar in a big glass jar. As they juiced-out they dissolved the sugar. Somehow some fermenter got in the jar -- probably from the lemon rinds -- and eventually turned the 'lemon syrup' into a liquor. I'd like to try making some more of that good stuff! |
While this may be a bit "off topic" - it still comes under the heading of "what to do with --" We have had bumper crops of citrus for years. This past year, I have been making lime wine. Now fermenting my 3rd batch. It is very refreshing and can mix with more robust red wines to make a nice rosea-type. I think lemons and oranges would probably also work, but so far have only tried the limes. They are sort-of a lime-aid with a slight "kick." If interested, Google "Skeeter's Pee" wine. It's easy. I just squeeze and freeze the juice first to have on hand when my fermenter is ready. bejay |

westelle, what type of ethnic cooking did you dislike using salt preserved lemons in? When you slice lemons to bury in sugar, how do you keep from your 'lemon syrup' from going bad? Thank you for your list of what preserved lemons were usable and what was not. uaskigyrl, did you try your preserved oranges? If so, what kind of oranges did you use? Have you liked your kumquats? bejay9_10, you awe me. Fermenting wine?! My first batch of salt preserved lemons is about 6 weeks old. They have been used once-- got 1 vote against using them, 1 vote for using them, and 1 vote abstaining from opinion. |
I did do the preserved oranges and the preserved kumquats. I use the preserved oranges in a lot of things, mostly in homemade bar drinks though! I have yet to try the kumquats. I do have a plan for them though! |
Merrybookwymn: I don't care much for Ethnic foods in general... with rare exceptions. I'm learning. My lemon syrup fermented and became a liquour. It started out as an experiment. |

Love, raiding, and everything in between: how women are taking charge in WoW {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2010 1:34AM I enjoy that myself, being the recruiter.
Having female players in my guild seems to make it a tad calmer. Unfortunately we no longer have any active raiding girls/women, as they have come and gone.
I remember very fondly one player we pugged for some hard mode Ulduar 10s, a mage who came on vent and then started speaking with the softest voice and the guild chat went crazy. To top that off she also displayed presicion and cleverness in both movement and rotations.
To me it adds one very important thing in a guild, diversity. But you need more than just one, or they end up getting overrun. So when I see 40/60 female/male ratios in wow, I have to ask if that is the case in raiding as well, or if they are doing something else.

With the advancement of technology, people have changed the way they work, study, socialize and even shop. There has been an accelerated growth of online shops making shopping easy, convenient, fun and even affordable.
With a click of a mouse you are able to compare prices and quality of goods offered by different stores from the comfort of your home. But with these amazing developments there has seen a rise of dubious stores which are taking advantage of the lucrative industry of fashion and defrauding unsuspecting customers.
There has even been an increase in online ads, designed mostly to look like news reports, which are cropping up on major websites claiming to offer great deals on all kinds of commodities. The discounts being offered are very tempting, though the bureaus advise online shoppers to be careful and do their own research before they make their online purchases.
Before engaging in any online deals there are some factors you should put into consideration like making sure you shop at a secure website. Sites that are secure use technology that is encrypted to transfer your details preventing hackers from obtaining the information en route.
Hence you should ensure if something doesn't feel right, that you do research before engaging in the trade. Make sure you do business with only those with their physical address and customer service number or call centre. Call the phone to make sure it's legit. You can also research the company through the government consumer protection agencies.
You should never give your security numbers when placing orders at any online shopping site. This could lead to someone stealing your identity. You shouldn't answer any question you are not comfortable with. If you use a password to log in make sure not to share it with anyone.
It's also very important to know how online auction sites like eBay and MadBid operate before engaging in one. People tend to be pulled to these sites because of the discounted prices and bargains. They also allow people to sell unwanted stuff and raise cash. They are a safe place to engage in barter trade where you exchange commodities but it always makes sense to be careful. It's important to read the terms and conditions of the auction and the payment options available.
It's advisable to deal with credit card payments since you can cross check the information with the credit bureau. This case applies for sellers also who can be scammed by dubious buyers. If you encounter a problem you should report to the site immediately.
Another factor that buyers need to take into consideration is the cost. The price of online deals is influenced by various discount and bargaining opportunities offered, insurance costs, shipping costs. As a result it's important to know the overall cost of the commodity. It's good to deal with those known to offer great deals online. Other than the discounts and offers available, it's also important to look at the warranty of the commodities if any, return policy or exchange policy.
The benefits of online shopping are great and unmatched, one of the greatest benefits of online shopping is the fact that you get to choose from a variety of stores and auction sites which offer competitive prices. However it's important to consider the costs, warranties and shop's legitimacy so as to ensure you have an enjoyable and rewarding online shopping experience.
What are the odds that you exist, as you, today?
Author Ali Binazir makes a beautiful attempt to quantify the probability of you existing with this beautiful infographic.
Have you ever considered the fact that the chances of you existing are almost zero? There are so many factors that go into your birth which makes your birth virtually impossible.
Your dad met your mother. But in truth, he could actually have met over 200,000 different women who were his potential suitors. Over the last 20 years of your existence, he's met over 10,000 women. (The same applies for your mom).
What are the odds of him choosing your mom instead of any other woman? And what are the odds of the two of them staying in a relationship long enough to have kids?
Well… the odds of your parents meeting and successfully giving birth to kids are 1 in 20,000.
How did the 1 egg from your mom meet the 1 sperm from your dad (the one containing your DNA) and not your brother's?
Out of the 4 trillion sperms your dad produces and the 100,000 eggs your mom has during her lifetime, how is it that the sperm containing you was successfully fertilized instead of another sperm?
The odds of that happening is a 1 in 400 quadrillion… which is a near impossibility.
Your birth was an event that almost impossible. But yet, you were yet born hale and hearty. And therefore, you're a miracle – a miracle like no other.
Appreciate your life and start living it out to the fullest from now on.

With my son, I did the same thing and couldn't get a positive test until I was 9 weeks. I have vaccinations for school that I am due for and need to know whether or not I should take them. What do you suggest? -- Mrs.Mandy Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: My last period was more than seven weeks ago. I've taken multiple tests, including a blood test and all have been negative. With my son, I did the same thing and couldn't get a positive test until I was 9 weeks. I have vaccinations for school that I am due for and need to know whether or not I should take them. What do you suggest? -- Mrs.Mandy Depending on which test you use, you may be able to tell if you are pregnant in as little as a week after ovulation. A blood test is the earliest test to show a positive result (7-11 days after ovulation), while some home pregnancy test kits can test positive at the time of your missed period (14 days after ovulation) in up to 95% of pregnant women. If your last period was more than seven weeks ago and all tests since then have been negative, then it is unlikely that you are pregnant. But, it is difficult to say for sure without knowing the length of your usual cycles (the number of days from the first day of one period to the first day of the next).With this information, if you still think that you might be pregnant, you should ask specifically which vaccinations you need. Some vaccinations (e.g. the flu shot) are safe during all trimesters of pregnancy. In fact, it is recommended that all pregnant women and women who plan on being pregnant during flu season (October through May) receive the inactivated flu vaccination. Other vaccinations such as the rubella vaccination should not be given during pregnancy. The rubella vaccination is what we call a live attenuated vaccine, meaning it consists of live but weakened virus. If you receive this vaccination during pregnancy, it can theoretically cross the placenta and affect the fetus although there have been no reports of adverse fetal effect in women who were inadvertently vaccinated during the first trimester. For more information, visit the CDC's website. It's a great resource with information about vaccination during pregnancy. Dr. Ashley Roman Q&A: Vaccinations okay during pregnancy? I had a very similar situation, but in my case, I did not do a blood test - just the urine tests. I'm not sure if blood tests are much more accurate than urine tests, I hear from doctors that urine tests are fairly accurate. I ended up being pregnant and was fighting tooth and nail to put off getting any vaccinations because I don't believe in them in the first place, but I am willing to get them myself, but not my teeny tiny undeveloped embryo. They're pumped with chemicals, are you kidding? Anyway, I ended up being pregnant and was able to just show proof of the pregnancy and that was fine - you shouldn't have to get any vaccinations even if they're considered safe. But, if they are considered safe and you want to get them, then they should be willing to administer them. They won't do the rubella vaccination unless you have a note from your obstetrician. auggiesmom | Q&A: Vaccinations okay during pregnancy? Follow the advice of the expert. Many vaccines are safe during pregnancy but some do carry a potential risk. There's a whooping cough outbreak here where I live and I hadn't had a booster for that one. I was able to get a booster in my doctor's office during a prenatal visit. If you are pregnant that's a pretty important one to be vaccinated against. Adults can carry the disease and only have a mild cough then give it to a new born who can easily become hospitalized or die from it. Very scary stuff. Oh and when someone says not to use something because it's "pumped with chemicals" ignore them. They clearly don't know what the definition of "chemical" is. akennonf | Q&A: Vaccinations okay during pregnancy? Don't take them! All women do not have a positive test even after 8 weeks......when they did my first blood test, it came out negative even though I was already pregnant. You could very well be pregnant...I missed my period for two months and was still getiting negative tests, even though I was pregnant. sdarjean | Q&A: Vaccinations okay during pregnancy? And what kind of experience do you have with vaccines that you think you can make your demeaning comments on them @akennonf? They are pumped with chemicals.

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 Jasper!
Facts about Jasper
- Breed: Beagle/Coonhound Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jasper's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jasper is a super sweet 3 year old male beagle; possibly a mix. He is a quiet dog who listens well. He knows the sit and give paw commands. He likes to run and play with other dogs and is often the one to initiate the playing. Jasper is a very people oriented dog who does well with children. He likes to play with most any kind of toy. Jasper is a little on the large side (we are working on that) but he also has a large heart with lots of love to give. He will make a wonderful family pet. Jasper is UTD on shots, neutered and microchipped. He is also housebroken and crate trained. Arrange to meet him so you can see what a great guy he is. NOTE: JASPER HAS BEEN FORMALLY EVALUATED AND THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED.
Other Pets at Pocono Animal Welfare Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jasper, a Stroudsburg Beagle/Coonhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Coonhound for sale in Stroudsburg, or seeking a Beagle/Coonhound dog from a breeder in Stroudsburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Stroudsburg 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 Stroudsburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Coonhound breeders who help with Beagle/Coonhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Stroudsburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Jordan Staal and Eric Staal play on the same team now
- Malcolm Subban and his brother P.K. have become mortal enemies because of a meddling general manager
- Brian Burke took the number one player on his draft board fifth overall which is equal parts salesmanship and horrifying

Genus of sauropod dinosaur found as fossils in Late Jurassic rocks of North America and related to Apatosaurus. Diplodocus and its relatives (diplodocids) were some of the longest land animals that ever lived, some approaching 100 ft (30 m). It had a long neck and extremely small brain and skull. Most diplodocids weighed about 30 tons, and some as much as 80 tons. It was formerly thought that Diplodocus may have spent a good deal of time in water, but fossil evidence indicates it moved freely on land, where it apparently fed on soft vegetation. It may be the most commonly displayed dinosaur.

Termite Solutions
"The Only Solutions To All Your Pest Control Needs"
100% Guaranteed!
Unseen and unknown invaders could be scurrying through your cupboards, hiding behind your stove, dishwasher
and fridge waiting for "lights out?" Do you know what they are, or are you finding tell-tale signs like droppings,
taking a wild guess and applying over-the-counter products?
Don't know what pest you are dealing with? Send us a photo and one of our qualified technicians in Brisbane
will identify the pest and the necessary steps to be taken.
The team at Bob Gunn don't believe in guesswork. Our licensed Brisbane pest control technicians
have a proven process that starts with identifying exactly what type of pests are taking over your property.
Only then will our pest inspection team in Brisbane recommend a solution that is appropriate for your individual
situation and the environment.
If you've ever reached into the back of a cupboard for that beautiful dress from last season, only to find it eaten
through with holes, you'll know the damage that insects can cause, and it's all done silently without your knowledge.
Pest proof your home with treatments that work, and eradicate cockroaches, silverfish, moths, black ants, mice, rats and birds.
Clubs, hotels and restaurants have a reputation to protect and food safety regulations to satisfy.
Child Care Centres and Nursing Homes have vulnerable clients in their care. Factories, office premises,
schools all need protection from pests but the size of the task and the risk factors involved need a professional approach.
The best way to deal with a termite infestation is to prevent it from happening and there are a number of simple steps
home owners can take to protect their property. If an infestation has been found, it must be eradicated completely
or the colony will reform somewhere else in the building. Termites are social creatures that live to serve the colony,
and specialised knowledge is needed to outsmart them.
As most new homes or house extensions are built on the ground on concrete slabs, termite control before
building commences is absolutely essential as the first line of defence against these tenacious pests.
Bob Gunn Termite Solutions can install physical and reticulation systems to treat all building work requirements.
There are several reasons why these types of inspections are performed. The most common
inspections are done before a property sale or purchase. Usually the mortgagee would request
the pre-purchase inspection to protect their investment, but more vendors are requesting pre-sale pest
and building inspections to assure prospective purchases that the property has no hidden surprises.
Bob Gunn Termite Solutions has the experience, training and technical skills to identify and apply
the pest control solutions in Brisbane that are right for your circumstances. Their work is guaranteed so
you can be confident that whatever your pest problem is, Bob's team will solve it.

Seattle OW spots
I will be in Seattle around Thanksgiving. I was wondering if I could join a local OW swimming group for a swim there. How cold does the water get at that time of the year? Or do swimmers just wait for warmer summer waters?
malinaka Seattle, WACharter Member@calypso: You can. You Can. YOU CAN!
There are no "groups" per se that swim in winter, but there are groups of people that occasionally go swimming all year long.
The best thing to do is post something on Facebook's Western Washington Open Water Swimming before you get to town. Or get in touch with me. Or both.
The best spots include Alki (AL-kye) Beach...and I'm sure there are others, but I'm biased. The temps in the Sound are around 55 right now and will only drop to 45 in January. Lake Washington is around 70 at the moment, and will get into the low 40s over the winter. But if you are going to jump in cold water, at least treat yourself to the underwater scenery of Alki. If you need me to further extol the virtues of Alki for you, I will.
See you in a few months!I don't wear a wetsuit; it gives the ocean a sporting chance.

Recently lpga.com received a copy of a letter sent to Paula Creamer that speaks to the impressions our players make on people who come out and watch the LPGA. As you will read he was extremely impressed with what he witnessed during the Kingsmill Championship.
Dear Ms. Creamer:
I have written a grand total of one letter to an athlete in my 65 years….that was to Kirby Puckett when he was injured and had to retire young. I thanked him for the joy and life lessons he gave to the kids.
I've watched you on the tour for a few years. I've liked your skill and cheerful personality. To be perfectly honest, you were up there as a favorite but there were a few others higher on the list.
I have to say you have crashed through whatever ceiling there was. I drove six hours over to the Kingsmill tournament, mainly because I wanted to see Munoz's swing in person and Miyazato's tempo in person. What I received for my efforts in attending the tourney was one of the greatest exhibitions of guts, determination, fearlessness, and sportsmanship I have ever been witness to. The two of you showed the essence of Sport as very few performers ever have, in my opinion. It didn't matter who won….after about an hour of that display both of you were recognized by all of us in the crowd as doing something that was nothing short of sporting greatness. Without exaggerating I kept thinking of Ali-Frazier. Believe me, you and Shin elevated each other to a level that happens only very, very, very, very rarely. If the LPGA had any sense of PR they would be shouting about that day in Virginia until the rest of the golf world realized just what the Ladies tour is capable of presenting.
I, and a few thousand others, stood there with our mouths hanging open in appreciation. You blew our freaking minds. Thank you so, so much.

I have black and yellow worms eating literally every needle off of my weeping pine. They are everywhere on the tree. What pesticide can I use to get rid of them in a hurry? I have liquid 7 on hand. Will that work or should I get something else? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had that problem too. I used a spray by Ortho for catepillars. I think it's called Orthane. To be organic, you could also use a spray of 1 TBS. dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of water. It's a contact spray, so be sure and hit the little guys. Kay |

For shoppers, London was traditionally a sober, masculine preserve in contrast to the feminine paradise of Paris. But a radical shift in style and diversity has occurred over the past few decades, and the new flagship store for Penhaligon's, a perfume company founded in England in 1870, is as exuberant and sybaritic as anything one could find in the City of Light.
Christopher Jenner, a designer who moved from his native South Africa to London, drew on his experience staging events and designing twelve other retail stores, including Diptyque (Contract, November 2012) and a Singapore outlet for Penhaligon's. "The challenge was to create magic in a super-small space and to evoke the spirit of a place and an era," Jenner explains.
The place is a fashionable stretch of Regent Street on the western boundary of the Mayfair district that was rebuilt a century ago in the extravagant Edwardian era, when Great Britain indulged in a brief flurry of peacock fashions and bombastic ornament. Jenner found a rather gloomy, 540-square-foot storefront sandwiched between two large emporiums and turned it into a jewel case that draws in shoppers from the sidewalk. The façade is historically listed and couldn't be altered, but the curved glass windows that flank the narrow entry provide an ideal proscenium for the interior.
"In retail, we are moving towards a theatrical representation of brands," says Jenner, who researched the heritage and aspirations of the venerable company. Penhaligon's holds two of the coveted royal warrants, supplying fragrances to the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales, and their coats of arms are proudly displayed. The design had to embody that tradition of quality, and was also shaped by the fact that the clientele is equally composed of men and women.
Every surface is richly ornamented and impeccably crafted.
The entry is paved in checkerboard tile, and a tiled border outlines the walnut floor. Tiny vitrines for the fragrance vials are attached to padded walls of purple vinyl, and these are juxtaposed to an expanse of sandblasted antique mirror and white oak marquetry set four ways to create an illusion of depth. Fabric is printed with labels of the company's 50 fragrances and applied as a wall covering in the back of the store, and on side walls near the ceiling.
The glass ceiling, inspired by Tudor moldings and studded with brass roses, is modeled on those in the chapel of Henry VIII in Westminster Abbey. Chandeliers were inspired by the Royal Pavilionin Brighton, a Regency-era extravaganza created for an earlier Prince of Wales by John Nash, the original architect of Regent Street. The bow that ornaments Penhaligon's scent bottles is implemented as a recurring motif in the interior.
No such thing as sensory overload
Scent is an invitation to seduction, and the interior of Penhaligon's is a feast for all the senses. Every surface is tactile and reflective of light. Each element enhances its neighbors, and the aesthetic draws on an English tradition of eccentricity and playfulness. "Color, shape, and texture are all important to me," Jenner says, "and fine craftsmanship is the foundation of everything we do."
Products from England and around the world
For this interior, Jenner sourced glass from China, ceramics from India, and laser-cut metalwork from the U.S. But many of the other materials were produced in Great Britain, including cabinetry constructed by artisans in the western county of Devon and custom furnishings. The project began with sketches and 3D computer simulations, evolving into a portrait of the company and the designer. Some might consider it over the top, but Jenner would probably agree with Mae West, who famously declared, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful."
- Designer: Christopher Jenner
- Client: Penhaligon's
- Where: London
- What: 540 square feet on one floor
- Cost/sf: Withheld at client's request
Key Design Highlights
- An attention-getting interior draws in shoppers from busy Regent Street.
- The ornate design reflects the company's heritage and royal connections while appealing to a modern clientele.
- A color palette of bold fuchsia and cool mint green is balanced by warm walnut floors and white oak millwork.
- Wall-mounted, chamfered boxes display individual bottles of perfume, echoing the pattern of the padded walls and glass ceiling.

I asked this on the decorating forum but thought you might have some good answers over here.
1. How do you keep candles sticking upright in a candle holder, not flopping or falling? 2. How do you glue back together a broken resin figurine? I tried tacky glue, superglue and hot glue gun and none of that even thought about sticking. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you use a lighter and melt a bit of the bottom of the candle and then stick it back in the candleholder before it hardens, that usually does the trick! I learned that when I was quite young from my Mom :) Another thing I have tried a time or two when I didn't have anything around to melt the candle is to take a bit of a tissue or toilet paper and wrap it around the part that goes in the candle stick. I don't know what to tell you about the glue thing. I have always used super glue and it's worked. Maybe you're using too much or not enough or just not letting it set long enough? |
Try E-6000, you can get it at Wally. I have never had much luck with super glue but the E-6000 has always worked well. |

This site might be helpful for your glue question: http://www.thistothat.com/cgi-bin/glue.cgi?lang=en&this=This&that=That Luvs |
Thanks, Sweets. Superglue sure didn't work on this resin -- tried to glue my fingers together, though. Ingeorgia, thanks, I'll look for that. Luvs, thanks that link is really cool, but it doesn't have resin. |

"I love, love, love the announcements I ordered!! They came out great. I even called in for a question and got feedback on announcement. Everyone was so helpful!!"
"We are getting a lot of compliments on the card. The design is so simple yet so cute and it really let's the photo and the wording be the stars. Thank you Tiny Prints for being so inclusive of adoptive families! The options were endless and this one was just perfect for us."
"I loved this card. It was perfect! We got so many compliments on this. Tiny Prints was great. I got the cards so quickly. I was very happy with my purchase."
"I personalized this with our own information and our son's photo, and was pleasantly surprised when a Tiny Prints designer called to let me know there might be a problem with the photo I'd chosen, and advised me to use another. As soon as I got the photo to her, my order went to the printer's, and came to me shortly after. We were thrilled with the quality of the paper and the printing, and have received many compliments on the announcements."
"paper quality and printing were great. everyone who received our announcement just loved it...thought it was so pretty and perfect. my only critique is that tiny prints should make the wording for adoption announcement available to all their products...there was a much smaller selection of adoption announcements than birth announcements and although we were very happy with our choice there were others I liked more but couldn't use b/c the adoption wording was no an option."

Janice Murray, De Anne Smith, Saifawn Castillo, & Jeff Shapiro
On October 22, 2012, KHTS was pleased to welcome Single Mother's Outreach to the KHTS Community Resource Station. De Anne Smith, Jeff Shapiro, & Saifawn Castillo were featured on the KHTS Non-Profit Spotlight – hosted by Janice Murray.
The KHTS Non-Profit Spotlight airs Mondays at 10am on AM-1220 KHTS.
Single Mothers Outreach was founded in 1995 as a support and resource for single mothers struggling through the effects of divorce or the death of a spouse. Single Mothers Outreach became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in May 1998. Since then, over 1700 families have been served.
In November 2007, the Board of Directors began a major reorganization to improve the quality and range of services it provides. As a result, Single Mothers Outreach updated its mission statement and developed a new plan of services to single parents and their children.
In January 2008, Single Mothers Outreach relocated to its present location in downtown Newhall, sharing the office space with the Los Angeles County Service Center of the Santa Clarita Valley and the Salvation Army. Single Mothers Outreach collaborates with both agencies and other community nonprofits in providing a full range of services to single parents and their families.
KHTS would like to thank DeAnne Smith, Jeff Shapiro, & Saifawn Castillo for stopping by the KHTS Community Resource Kiosk.

Mark Twain memorably cabled The Associated Press from Europe: "The report of my death was an exaggeration."
How much of an exaggeration we never guessed - for last night at the Lyceum Theatre saw the world premiere of Twain's new play, "Is He Dead?" Possibly in Twain's spirit, we should add: "Yet."
There's nothing like a little resuscitation to cheer a guy up - especially when it's supervised by the comic genius of Norbert Leo Butz.
It seems the play was written in 1898 (12 years before Twain's less than exaggerated demise) but only recently discovered. It was brushed up by David Ives and staged by British director Michael Blakemore.
Perhaps not coincidentally, this old/new play is about the death of an artist. Or, rather, the report of his death.
In this instance, the rumor came from the artist himself, the impecunious and real-life painter Jean-Francois Millet, who was then - and even today - highly regarded.
Twain suggests that his fictional Millet (Butz) and his friends staged the painter's prolonged illness and death to raise the price of his paintings.
Who wouldn't rather have present cash than posthumous fame?
Frankly, Twain's play (even with Ives' tinkering) is pretty feeble - a mix of the cross-dressing British farce "Charley's Aunt," written six years earlier (and better known as the musical "Where's Charley?") and dog-eared copies of the frou-frou magazine La Vie Parisienne.
Yet Twain (and Ives) have struck it rich with Blakemore, the set designer Peter J. Davison, the costume designer Martin Pakledinaz and a cast that can spin gold out of lead.
Of his own paintings, the real-life Millet observed: "I make the trivial an expression of the sublime." And that pretty much sums up what Blakemore, Butz & Co. achieve here.
Like most of its genre, the farce is slow getting on its feet. It's set in Millet's Paris attic studio, archly bestrewn with copies of Millet's best-known paintings.
But soon the premises are set: A mustache-bristling villain, Bastien Andre (the splendid Byron Jennings), threatens foreclosure and ruin not just upon Millet but also on his fiancée, Marie (the lovely Jenn Gambatese, who's finally found a role worthy of her after "Tarzan" and "All Shook Up"), her sister Cecile (the charming Bridget Regan in a Broadway debut) and their father, Papa Leroux (the magnificently doddering John McMartin, who's been on Broadway almost as long as the Lyceum).
Add to these dedicated farceurs Millet's friends (the irrepressible Michael McGrath, Jeremy Bobb and Tom Alan Robbins); a duo of uncertain-age ladies, Marylouise Burke and Patricia Conolly; plus (very much plus) David Pittu, a one-man band who handles many roles in the play with unshakable aplomb.
Leading the revels is Butz, who, once he gets into drag as Millet's sister, is simply incomparable. Revive "Where's Charley?" for him next season!
By the time the cast erupts into the crazy dance that constitutes its curtain call, it would be a hard heart that could have resisted such a subtly nutsy ensemble performance.
What might have been a wheeze turns out to be a giggle.
"Is He Dead?," a previously unproduced play by the long-dead Mark Twain, has at last made its Broadway debut. And for something that's basically been lying immobile for more than a century, gathering dust in archives, it has a remarkably sprightly step.
Most of the credit, I hasten to add, does not belong to the immortal author of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," whose many literary crowns did not include that of laurel-wreathed dramatist. Twain's trenchant satirist's eye is just barely discernible in this silly, formulaic farce, written in 1898, about a starving French painter forced to don women's clothes.
But with the right doctors, even a long-buried dinosaur can be made to dance. "Is He Dead?," which opened last night at the Lyceum Theater, benefits mightily from a top-grade team of resurrection artists. They include the director Michael Blakemore, the playwright David Ives (who adapted Twain's script) and an infectiously happy cast, led by the wondrous Norbert Leo Butz, that serves a master class in making a meal out of a profiterole.
Reclaimed from the mothballs by the scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin, who came upon the manuscript five years ago in the Mark Twain Papers at the University of California, Berkeley, "Is He Dead?" would likely generate only a few chuckles (and many a cry of "Oh, brother") in the reading. Its plot suggests an ungainly younger cousin to "Charley's Aunt," Brandon Thomas's popular cross-dressing comedy from 1892.
Set in and near Paris in 1846, "Is He Dead?" presents a lineup of cultural and farcical stereotypes, seen with the wide-eyed-with-a-wink gaze that Twain brought to "The Innocents Abroad," the travel memoir that made him solvent. At the show's center is Jean-François Millet (no, the name is not a coincidence), a brilliant but unrecognized painter played by Mr. Butz. Since Jean-François can't sell a landscape to save his life (literally), his inner circle of bohemian friends — an ethnic stew made up of an American (Michael McGrath), a German (Tom Alan Robbins) and an Irishman (Jeremy Bobb) — convince him that faking his death is just the ticket for raising his stock. So Jean-François disappears from life and re-emerges as his imaginary twin sister, a widow both mad and madcap. The expected complications ensue.
You're groaning, right? I'll admit I wasn't all that happy for the play's first 10 minutes or so, despite the obvious polish of the cast and the physical production, which includes exaggerated postcard-pretty sets (Peter J. Davison) and costumes (Martin Pakledinaz), as well as a slew of reproductions of the real Millet's paintings.
But once Mr. Butz puts on a pink dress, this Tony-winning comic actor ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"), who had been rather flavorless in his opening scene, shows the true comic genius of which he is made. From that moment the whole production feels as if it's been pumped through with nitrous oxide. Jokes you would swear you would never laugh at suddenly seem funny.
Mr. Blakemore, the British director who has brought such theatrical élan to the complexity of Michael Frayn ("Copenhagen," "Democracy"), here exhibits the same comic assurance he demonstrated in the 1983 Broadway premiere of Mr. Frayn's master farce "Noises Off." He keeps the familiar machinery running smoothly without ever letting it shift into automatic pilot. And he understands the difference between knowing exaggeration and crowd-pandering vulgarity.
So does his cast, which offers a spectrum of witty variations on theatrical fossils. These include (in addition to the national cartoons of Mr. McGrath, Mr. Robbins and Mr. Bobb), John McMartin's frisky take on the elderly gentleman lecher, Jenn Gambatese's and Bridget Regan's versions of the palpitating ingénues, and Patricia Conolly's and Marylouise Burke's sweet, stylish turns as a pair of fluttering old maids.
Byron Jennings appears to be having the time of his life as a sleek, melodramatic villain. (His greyhound carriage and vulpine face have seldom been used to such piquant visual advantage.) And David Pittu plays too many people to count with a consummate blend of precision and enthusiasm that is this production's hallmark.
Looking like a cross between Kirsten Dunst and Joan Sutherland in "La Traviata," Mr. Butz in drag is a minor miracle, both honoring the conventions of a hoary elbow-ribbing type and making them feel brand new. Like many great comic actors he suggests that he has more energy than a human body can naturally contain. Put him in the captivity of a whalebone corset and tiers of taffeta, and he becomes a bizarrely frilly volcano poised on the brink of eruption.
I'm not going to quote much from the play, since most of its jokes wither and die when removed from the rarefied air of the Lyceum. Anyway, I'm not sure which one-liners are Twain's and which come from Mr. Ives, the author of the delightful "All in the Timing." (Example: Mr. McGrath's character speaks of taking a potential client "to 'The Gleaners.'")
And I probably shouldn't tell you that there's extended horseplay involving the stench of Limburger cheese and the centuries-old shtick involving an attractive woman who turns out to be made of artificial parts. Mr. Butz and company proceed with such giddy confidence that by evening's end the show fleetingly assumes the authoritative absurdity of Oscar Wilde and Joe Orton. (There's even a thrown-away Wildean-Ortonian line, "I congratulate you on your polygamy.")
I don't know about you, but as winter's grayness creeps up on us, I'm in the mood for savvy stupidity. And Broadway isn't doing much to satisfy that taste. ("Young Frankenstein"? Give me a break.)
"Is He Dead?" may be a scam, trying to pass off copper as gold. But by the time Mr. Butz raises his skirts and kicks up his heels for a final dance of the seven petticoats (or however many there are), there was indeed gold dust in my eyes.
He cemented an enduring reputation as a novelist, short story writer, humorist and essayist, but Mark Twain never cracked the challenge of becoming a playwright, despite multiple stabs. When it was rediscovered in 2002 and published the following year, the unproduced 1898 comedy "Is He Dead?" was greeted as an amusing curio, but reviews seemed to confirm Twain's suspicion that he lacked the fundamental tools to write for the stage. So it's a welcome surprise that in its Broadway premiere, director Michael Blakemore, adapter David Ives and a spirited cast led by human whoopee cushion Norbert Leo Butz have turned this trifle into a ripely enjoyable confection.
Blakemore knows his way around farce, having scored one of his biggest hits with the original London and Broadway productions of Michael Frayn's "Noises Off," which reinvigorated the genre by matching the comic chaos onstage with even more absurd antics happening backstage among cast and crew.
Twain attempts nothing so complex, but he does ladle on all the required ingredients of outrageous deceit, improbable disguises, cheeky sexual innuendo, silly melodrama and escalating confusion, whipping it all together with humor that mixes rascally wit with broad physical comedy. Ives clearly has had a significant hand in ironing out the kinks, but the irreverent potshots at cultural pretentiousness and the hypocrisies of the art world are typically Twainian.
"I am glad the old masters are all dead, and I only wish they had died sooner," Twain wrote in 1867. He grants himself that wish by making rural realism heavyweight Jean-Francois Millet his main character and then killing him off (well, not quite) while he's still a struggling artist. Placing a painter known for the noble simplicity of his work at the center of an elaborate madcap comedy is a big part of the joke.
Sales are slow, and penniless Millet (Butz) is in debt to ruthless picture dealer-cum-usurer Bastien Andre (Byron Jennings). Even deeper in debt is Louis Leroux (John McMartin), father of Millet's sweetheart, Marie (Jenn Gambatese), who has also turned Andre's head. Refusing to accept paintings in lieu of payment, the dealer demands either swift settlement or Marie's hand in marriage.
When a clueless English fop (David Pittu, in one of a handful of zesty comic caricatures) plants the idea that Millet's daubings of peasants in the fields would be worth more if the artist had expired, Millet's cronies hatch a scheme to drive up prices by faking his prolonged illness and subsequent death. However, Millet is too much a livewire to stay in hiding so they disguise him as Jean-Francois' fictitious twin sister, Widow Daisy Tillou.
Betraying an obvious debt to one of the popular hits of the era, "Charley's Aunt," the cross-dressing caper doesn't have the airtight plotting to make it truly exhilarating, but it does maintain a manic Marx Brothers-type ebullience as the hoax yields sudden riches and Daisy's peculiar charms have her fending off marriage proposals from Andre and Leroux.
The most consistent delight is the gifted Butz, who starts out far more low-key than in his unhinged Tony-winning turn in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." But he undergoes a kind of liberatory release when he dons Daisy's ringlets and gets squeezed into her heavily corseted pink frock, as if being incognito forces both the actor and the character's most subversive comic instincts to escape.
Chomping on a cigar or pipe, nervously massaging his fake breasts and fanning his legs with his voluminous skirts, Butz is a riot. He's so utterly relaxed and in command onstage that he appears to be making up Daisy's dialogue as he goes along, shooting disbelieving but slyly self-satisfied double-takes as her statements become increasingly ludicrous. An afternoon tea interlude with Millet's guileless old landladies (Patricia Conolly and the sublimely daffy Marylouise Burke) reaches especially giddy comic heights, as does the second-act shtick involving a glass eye, false teeth and a fake leg.
Among classic drag turns, Butz's work recalls Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot." His discomfort in the disguise seems to wear off in an instant, at which point Jean-Francois starts behaving with casual indifference to the anomaly of the situation. Unaware of the scam, Gambatese's earnest, pure-of-heart Marie responds accordingly, as if hot-and-heavy embraces with her boyfriend's sassy sister were the norm.
Rest of the cast doesn't get quite as much to chew on but Blakemore somehow manages to spotlight them all.
As Millet's ethnically assorted cohorts, fast-talking "Chicago" (Michael McGrath), rotund "Dutchy" (Tom Alan Robbins), who's actually German, and hot-tempered Irishman Phelim (Jeremy Bobb) are as responsible as Butz for keeping the helium rush in the comedy. They also get to have fun with some of the hoariest groaners -- Dutchy, while about to bite into a sausage: "Cheer up, ze wurst is yet to come"; Chicago, preparing to dupe a wealthy art buyer: "We'll take him to the gleaners."
Chicago's romance with Marie's sister Cecile (Bridget Regan) doesn't quite come alive; nor do her attempts, via her own disguise, to uncover the fishy truth about Daisy. But as both characters and cast, the ensemble all get robust employment.
McMartin has some choice comic bits to play, notably when randy old Leroux is overcome with desire for Daisy; and an almost unrecognizable Jennings, with blue-black hair and sinister goatee, is hissable in the best hammy tradition of cartoon villains like Snidely Whiplash or Dastardly.
Blakemore's spry direction is backed by sparkling craft contributions, in particular Peter J. Davison's handsome sets -- Millet's dusty studio in the first act and freshly wealthy Daisy's glistening white Paris apartment in the second -- and Martin Pakledinaz's eye-catching costumes.
The play was spun out from Twain's short story "Is He Living or Is He Dead?," also about Millet faking his own demise for profit. Aficionados of the writer will enjoy spotting self-referential nods to his earlier stories, from a prominently featured dachshund to a man attending his own funeral to pungent cheese substituting for a corpse. But the production's rewards are by no means merely scholarly. Perhaps there's nothing here to make the classic farceurs uneasy in their graves, but given the scarcity of laugh-out-loud comedies on Broadway, this one registers high on the mirth meter.

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 Athena!
Facts about Athena
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Athena's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Athena is, like every other Kitten, very active and playful. She can be a little shy first, but as soonest you pick her up, she will start her little "engine"
Athena's Adoption Fee is $142, which includes: Spay, Microchip, Vaccines ( Distemper & Rabies), Leukemiaest and deworming.
If you're interested please call (785)239-6183! If no one answers then please leave a message! You can also contact us via email at email@example.com
Act quickly to adopt Athena. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Fort Riley Stray Facility
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Athena, a Fort Riley Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Fort Riley, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Fort Riley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Riley 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 Fort Riley 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Riley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Here at Redfin, we don't have much patience with bubble bloggers. We do not have a fixed position that all markets are over-inflated all the time. For example: since last year, we have stated repeatedly that foreclosures are likely to peak this summer, a position now corroborated by statistical data and our own experience: in Southern California, our agents and our customers have complained that screaming deals on distressed properties have been scarce since the spring.
But on Tuesday we published our monthly newsletter, arguing that the problem in the current market is weak demand. Then yesterday, we published a contrary point of view from DeeJayOh of Seattle Bubble, arguing that limited inventory was the reason there was limited demand: there has been very little good stuff to buy. And now last night I got another response to the newsletter, from a Seattle real estate agent at John L. Scott, who has lots of experience working with builders on huge new developments.
He argues that a huge wave of foreclosures is coming to the Seattle market, and that local banks — we blotted out their names — will be forced to cough up the foreclosures when they are taken over by the government. He also thinks that the drop in prices has so far been driven by fear and greed rather than distressed properties per se. It's an opinionated piece, loaded with inside baseball and on-the-ground facts. I don't agree with all of it — the failure of a local bank won't cause foreclosures when really it is foreclosures from 2008 and 2009 that are now causing that bank to fail — and I think that fear-driven pricing is more prevalent in the exurbs where the writer lives.
But for all that, it's a really good read. The writer agreed to have his email published, but never answered the question about attribution. Guest poster, if you want attribution, please step forward!
Rates need to bump up a to create a fear of loss in the market place. The focus will then shift from home prices to interest rates.
Fear and Greed Drive Down Prices
Every buyer seems to view each and every listing as distressed, when nationwide about 30% of homes are distressed. And foreclosures are crippling middle-income home-buyers that have had their equity removed. This was in part due to the economy although from 2005 to 2008 there were also some risk takers in the $400K -$600K price-range. But the point is these home owners now are tight. Others like me, I'm upside down and we put $250,000 down in 2004.
I still made great money last year and can weather the storm. I love our neighborhood and won't move. But we have had three homes listed and sold in the last six months that sold for $125K under market value.
The first seller spoke to the original listing agent of the subdivision; that agent told him he needed to price his home to sell at $409,950 if he wanted to sell in this market. There was a two-month-old sale 125 feet away that had just closed 60 days before for $539,000. The seller went ahead anyway, and got 5 offers in less than a week. This was not a distressed sale. The listing agent just had a dismal view on the market or needed a quick buck.
That low sales price forced the hand of a second seller in our adjoining neighborhood, who felt his value was closer to $499,950. He was being relocated, and he used the relocation agent recommended by his company. He listed the house for $425,000 and was pending in two weeks. Obviously a quick sale and under market value.
Our neighbor lost his job and had a friend who did short sales. The neighbor made a plea to the bank, and his friend bought the house somewhere in the $280,000 range. He put $10,000 into it and then listed and sold the home for $389,950. His house is identical to the other homes listed; it is 400 sq ft smaller than ours which we paid $520K for 5 years ago with $250k down.
The point being within a 7 to 9 month period and only until the last sale I mentioned, none were distressed homes. We had comps at over $500,000. But agents who were more focused on getting a rapid sale to stay afloat did a disservice to their clients and the entire neighborhood. We now have 3 sales in 6 months the highest being $415,000, $409,000, and $389,000 or less. From an appraisal standpoint everyone in both of the two subdivisions is completely screwed.
Two were move-down buyers and both sales had multiple offers and went pending in a week.
The other issue and maybe you have mentioned it previously, is that the local banks are completely and utterly screwed up. They don't have asset managers, they have out-of-work loan officers trying to be asset managers. These guys can't balance their own check books, let alone assess market value, or figure out how to position property.
The scary thing for Seattle is that [Bank A], a $3-billion bank, had $900 million in defaulted new construction loans. Excuse me? When the heck did that balance sheet ever make sense? [Bank B, which has been taken over by the FDIC] was as bad. [Bank C] and [Bank D] are going down in six months or less; they're well over [Bank A's] load of non-performing new-construction loans. That doesn't even include [Bank E], [Bank F], and the list of 20 others on the FDIC watch list.
To put it bluntly, there is not a shadow inventory of undisclosed real estate held by the banks and the FDIC, there is a frickin AVALANCHE. [Big Bank A] and [Big Bank B] have not settled with the FDIC. The amount of debt, distressed loans, and non-performing properties are enough to flood the market and crash Seattle. You would see bank-owned properties topping 50% of all product on the market in our area if they brought them on.
For as many tech-savvy, business-savvy people who are in this state, as a whole we still react like we think we are some unique part of the world. Read "Seattle magazine" March 2008. YIKES.

A lot is going to be happening here, but it won't all happen right away. First I'll be redirecting my domain to a portfolio site of sorts and will be working on a way to keep that updated until I've finished rebuilding this thing. Once this site is overhauled, refreshed and redone it will probably reappear at blog.thecolorblindphotographer.com
I can't give an ETA on all that being done but I need to streamline and simplify everything because this thing has grown so far beyond what I can easily keep up with in a way that's not a burden. Once it sets in motion this rebirth (as it were) should move quickly behind the scenes.
