I planned on installing pendants over my penninsula but my KD says they would look too short with 8 foot ceilings and doesn't recommend I do that.
If not then do I just do recessed only or mix in some decorative flush or semi flush lighting instead? |
Follow-Up Postings:
btt in case anyone else wants to weigh in. I need to narrow down my lighting plan really soon. |
We have pendants over our penninsula with an 8' cieling. Looks great no problems. Originally planed to use recessed, but these look much better and give definition to the area. |
That is what I think as well. It will be great to highlight those areas. I am pretty sure I am going to do it. Anyone want to post pictures of yours. |

Good choice, I particularly like the ambiance that pendants offer over recessed lighting. You will love it ken |
I have pendant lights in my 8' high hallway. They just hang off of 5" cords. It turned out really well... actually got the idea from my parents. |
Thanks everyone for your imput. We are going with some pendants over our penninsula. The woman at the lighting store suggested we get smaller ones that hang by a cord only not the ones that hang off a rod. She said the look is visually lighter that way. |

We are planning to have 2 pendant lights installed over a peninsula in our new kitchen and we too have 8' ceilings. Question, how far down should they drop from the ceiling? I found this light I like, but it says it has a 52" rod. This seems far too long for my space. What is the right size and would this one work? |

Marjoriest, not sure if this is late but I would suggest that you and your DH stand in that area - the pendant should hang one inch above the tallest ones head. You don't want to hit your head on the pendant each time you stand or bend over the island. I put mine over the dining table 24" inches below the ceiling - the 24" includes the pendant itself and the track. I am planning to do the same for my island. Here are links to my pendants when the lights are on and off: http://s767.photobucket.com/albums/xx311/Newyorking_ny/Kitchen/?action=view¤t=256.jpg |

Unless you absolutely despise games, you've probably noticed Unreal Engine is sort of a rock star among game development platforms. Not only is it capable of rendering some profoundly gorgeous graphics, it can do so on virtually every major desktop and mobile operating system available. Today, Epic Games is releasing Unreal Engine 4.4 with some new tools for building animation and behavior models, additional rendering features, improved support for Android and iOS, and even some free stuff in the content marketplace.
Cylons. The Terminator. Gort. Johnny 5. Science fiction seems more than a little obsessed with the idea of murderous automatons, and with good reason: it works. Newcomer developer Uppercut Games has taken the trope to mobile gaming with EPOCH, a post-apocalyptic shooter that does away with the humans altogether (to make room for more robots). The Unreal Engine powers this graphical beast, and it's available for $4.99 for all devices - or at least the ones that can handle it.
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? LG? Making an interesting video? Pshaw, I say! Before you dismiss it, though, let me ask you something. Have you ever seen a phone built out of magic and diamonds?! No? Then I've got something new to show you. In this four-minute promo video for the LG Optimus G, we see a man who is, apparently, a sparkle bender, forge a block of pure obsidian, then literally carve the phone out of this block with telekinesis.
It's certainly been a good few days for Android gaming, hasn't it? And it looks like the trend is still going: the hotly anticipated Android version of popular iOS game Dungeon Defenders has just landed in the Market with a holiday price of $3. What makes the game so great? Aside from the fact that it's powered by the Unreal engine (!) - which means the graphics are superb - it's long been one of the best-rated iOS games on the market.

MIAMI BEACH — If luxury is the name and hotels are the game, then there's no bigger player in South Beach than Gansevoort South.
This behemoth of a resort — complete with a city block of high-end boutiques, a tropical rooftop retreat and a 50-foot shark tank — is slated to open in January, following the success of its flagship Gansevoort property in Manhattan.
The newly redesigned hotel, originally constructed in the Sixties, now boasts a private beach club that is just a cabana or two away from a 40,000-square-foot Infinity-edge pool. Luxury staples such as lounge-friendly circular beds, teak decks and tented nooks abound, along with a bar and restaurant, volleyball courts and a Jacuzzi.
If the main level isn't enough to satiate guests' appetites for luxury, the rooftop oasis should do the trick. At 18 stories, the 26,000-square-foot space overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami and houses an elevated swimming pool and the Plunge bar and lounge. And tropical flora isn't exclusive to the beach club: Palm trees are scattered across the rooftop as well.
The 334 guest rooms (from $595 to $6,500 a night) are decked out in hot pink, charcoal and yellow and get even more visual interest from kitschy pinup photos and custom furniture. A massive spa and gym by David Barton, Miami incarnations of trendy stores like INCA and Big Drop and two restaurants, including one by Philippe Chow of New York's Mr. Chow, should successfully keep cabin fever at bay.
For guests looking to set up a more permanent camp in South Beach, 259 condominiums are available for purchase at Gansevoort South, starting at $600,000.

Issue 12.90 | Friday, March 8, 2013 TODAY'S FOCUS ELLIOTT

FOCUS PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga., March 8, 2013 -- I am "the unknown developer" who is seeking to develop the land directly across Peachtree Parkway from The Forum. My name is Bob Cheeley, and I live with my wife, Lisa, in Johns Creek. I have lived in this area since 1982. Today I announce our intentions with the property, which will be called "Grandview at Peachtree Corners." Our team of investors feel that this is the prime undeveloped parcel of land in all of Metro Atlanta! I am the great-great grandson of Robert David Medlock, who settled on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in the mid 1800s. He operated a ferry across the river and farmed the fertile lands in this area. He and his family called it home and I call this area home as well. I grew up in Buford and I have fond memories of visiting my grandmother, Selma Medlock, who lived in the Medlock home-place on the banks of the Chattahoochee at Medlock Bridge. I am a member of the board of directors of The Piedmont Bank. I think we did a great job with the architecture of the bank. It is with that same standard of excellence that I decided to step into the City of Peachtree Corners and purchase the 20.6 acres of multi-family zoned land which Lennar had purchased on February 7. I commend the Peachtree Corners Mayor and Council for showing bold leadership to insure that this property did not result in a single use apartment complex. I have a grander vision for the use and character of this property across from The Forum. I recently re-zoned approximately five acres adjoining this property to commercial fronting on Peachtree Parkway, between the Peachtree Corners Circle traffic light at The Forum and The Piedmont Bank. I have had an incredible level of interest from major tenants to these outparcels. The positive reaction gave me the confidence to step out in faith and put a group of investors together to purchase the land from Lennar. I have teamed up with a group of investors to "save this property" for a grander purpose-a mixed use, live, work and play township. Wakefield Beasley architects, who designed The Forum, are preparing a site plan for this property. The property will be a mixed-use site, meaning that commercial activities will be going on adjacent to high-level living space. The township will feature: 100,000 square feet of high end retail; 50,000 square feet of office; a full service hotel (perhaps with condos atop); and a "downtown feel" with approximately 480 luxury residences above and around the town square. Additionally, the township will have an outdoor 1,000 seat amphitheater for concerts and public gathering space. The township will have green space and walking trails. For the first time, people who are at the age and stage where they no longer want the hassles of owning a home with all the landscape maintenance and upkeep can live in a new township environment where they can walk to fine restaurants and upscale shopping, as well as walk to their office. We are hopeful that, with the Mayor and Council's involvement, we will find a way to build a pedestrian walkway to connect to The Forum. I can promise you one thing: if you like The Forum, you are going to love this township! If all goes well, you'll see construction begin in the spring of 2014. ELLIOTT

FEEDBACK Editor, the Forum: The minimum wage in 1968 of $1.60 has a 2012 purchasing power of $10.64, which is what the minimum wage could be now had it been indexed for purchasing power. Paying a living wage would solve many problems in America. Over half of the poor in this country work, yet they need government services such as food stamps and Medicare. We can turn these folks into taxpayers rather than people needing our tax dollars. We should stop subsidies to businesses that pay poverty wages. Efforts to raise the minimum invariably run into arguments that employers, especially small businesses, cannot afford to pay a higher wage. But the evidence shows that most low-wage employees work for large companies, which have largely recovered from the recession and have reinstituted generous pay packages for executives. As for low-wage workers at small businesses, many are waitresses and other "tipped" workers for whom the federal minimum wage is $2.13 an hour, where it has been since 1991. Clearly, there is ample room for an increase. A related argument is that a higher minimum wage destroys jobs, especially employment for teenagers. But research shows that most low-wage workers are over the age of 20 and suggests that paying them a higher wage could actually create jobs by bolstering consumer spending. The Georgia legislature could raise the minimum wage and not wait on congress. But it is a conservative group that doles out corporate welfare and cares less about the average working man. Liked story on finding unmarked graves while hiking Editor, the Forum: Love the story by Dr. Butler and the photos. Excellent! Wonders if regular television will eventually bite the dust Editor, the Forum: Thoughts concerning comment on streaming television: I never watch "normal" television anymore EXCEPT, of course, for PBS. I only watch things I stream. I prefer to choose most of what I watch from British programming from a "magic box." One day last week, for example, I watch the entire first season of Downton Abbey in one night. We have two "magic" boxes -- ROKU and Apple TV. I love them both, but Apple TV also allows me to project my computer screen onto the TV screen. Through it I also can watch YouTube on television and see programs (such as classroom lectures) that I can't get the other ways. Regular television is so weak now my guess is that it will bite the dust eventually. I did not know about Netflix creating a remake of "House of Cards." Now may be a good time to re-watch the BBC original starring Ian Richardson. UPCOMING Gwinnett
Commissioners have approved two construction contracts for four road safety
projects. All four improvements are funded by SPLOST sales tax dollars. Howard Brothers expanding outdoor power operation Howard Brothers, an outdoor power equipment dealer in Metro Atlanta, has opened their fourth location in Alpharetta. The new location is at 5860 Gateway Drive (just north of the intersection of McFarland Road and Georgia Highway 9) in Alpharetta. While the store has been open since February 1, a grand opening with an official ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for March 22-23. Owner Doug Howard says: "We are very excited about the new location. We believe that folks are researching their lawn equipment needs more than ever. We provide our customers with the best products and have the best people who know those products. You won't walk into a big box store and get the level of service that you get at one of our stores." The new Alpharetta location is an 8,100-square-foot facility with a service and parts departments and a showroom to display Exmark lawn equipment, Walker mowers, Scag mowers, Echo power equipment, Snapper, Honda power equipment and Ventrac compact tractors and other turf management equipment. The location will serve commercial and residential landscaping customers. Howard Brothers has been in business since 1955. It is family owned and independently operated. Howard Brothers also operates retail stores in Doraville, Duluth and Oakwood. The other three locations include True Value hardware stores. The new Alpharetta location will be the first location that focuses only on outdoor power equipment. Suwanee seeking volunteers to help Japanese maples The City
of Suwanee is looking for a little more Zen by planting Japanese maple
trees at Sims Lake Park on Saturday, March 16, in celebration of Arbor
Day. Norcross planning biannual spring clean-up day March 30 The City of Norcross holds a bi-annual Recycle and Clean Up day each year. For 2013, the spring date will be March 30. Paper shredding and electronics recycling are open to the public, while the clean-up event is available to Norcross residents only. In addition, the Public Works Department will be having a centralized event, where residents can drop off bulky items, such as old appliances, furniture and similar items. Solvents or hazardous material will not be allowed. For more
details, go to www.norcrossga.net,
in the Code Enforcement area under "Resources." Along with the
Recycling and Clean-up Events, those participating in the day are asked
to support the "CAN Do" for hunger and donate canned and non-perishable
food items for the Norcross Community Ministries food bank. NOTABLE The City of Lilburn will relocate its Main Street at U.S. Highway 29, replacing a "skewed" intersection with a more perpendicular intersection of the two roads. The Gwinnett Commissioners approved an agreement this week with the city of Lilburn to provide additional funding for the Main Street relocation project. Construction is expected to begin this summer and should be completed by mid-2014. The
relocated Main Street also will create an improved intersection with Church
Street. It includes turn lanes and traffic circles to allow for better
access for Lilburn residents to the proposed Lilburn City Hall and library.
The project will tie back into existing Main Street near its intersection
with Young Street, and the old Main Street road bed will be removed. The
traffic circles will provide traffic calming for the area, while lowering
Church Street will improve visibility for drivers. GGC students visit Carter Center, meet former president Georgia Gwinnett College Honors Programs students Brittany Perry (left) and Vivian Mosley (right) are shown with former President Jimmy Carter. Members of the Georgia Gwinnett College Honors Programs recently attended The Carter Center's February meeting of the Board of Councilors, and heard from the former president himself. The students were guests of Susan Hrib, CEO and founder of the Signum Group and member of the board of councilors. Afterwards, students toured the museum and were treated to lunch in the center's cafeteria. Local Girl Scout speaks at leadership breakfast in Washington Zoë Gadegbeku, a senior at Providence Christian Academy, presented an address at a Girl Scout leadership breakfast on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on February 28. Gadegbeku spoke about the importance of the organization's Gold Award and what it means to be a recipient of the highest award in Girl Scouting. She is a National Young Woman of Distinction of the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta Gold Award.
She said: "While earning the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards, Girl Scouts learn to identify community needs, problem solve, fundraise, implement, evaluate impact and sustainability, and budget. Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award has already opened many doors for me." Gadegbeku is from Berkeley Lake, and her parents are Lesley and Philippe Gadegbeku. Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta will host the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta Gold Award Ceremony on Sunday, March 10 from 2-5 p.m. at the Fox Theatre. One hundred and thirteen Gold Award awardees from the Atlanta area will be recognized at the event. RECOMMENDED "In this German classic, a young man named Gregor wakes up one morning to discover he has mysteriously changed into a huge bug. The story, famous for inspiring many interpretations, is about how Gregor and his family react to his changes. As Gregor adapts to his bug state, he nearly forgets his humanness. However, his compassion for his family seldom wavers. Unfortunately, his family members are so repulsed and angered by his 'metamorphosis' they virtually ignore him. Eventually, they abandon the notion that this bug is really their Gregor at all. I think this story could be a metaphor for how some families fail to cope with the dramatic changes of an elderly person who can no longer function adequately and who no longer seems to be the person they once loved. This is a sad tale, but it opened my eyes."
ENCYCLOPEDIA Novelist Corra White Harris was one of the most celebrated women from Georgia for nearly three decades in the early 20th century. She is best known for her first novel, A Circuit Rider's Wife (1910), though she gained a national audience a decade before its publication. From 1899 through the 1920s, she published hundreds of essays and short stories and more than a thousand book reviews in such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Harper's, Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, and especially the Independent, a highly reputable New York-based periodical known for its political, social, and literary critiques. Harris established a reputation as a humorist, southern apologist, polemicist, and upholder of pre-modern agrarian values. At the same time she criticized Southern writers who sentimentalized a past that never existed. Most of Harris's 19 books were novels, though she also published two autobiographies, a travel journal, and a coauthored book of fictional letters. Two of her works became feature-length movies. Of these, the best known is I'd Climb the Highest Mountain (1951), inspired by A Circuit Rider's Wife. The film was written and produced by Georgia native Lamar Trotti and starred Susan Hayward and William Lundigan. She was born Corra Mae White on March 17, 1869 in the foothills of Elbert County. Like many southern women of her day, she did not have an extensive education. She attended Elberton Female Academy but never graduated and, as a writer, was largely self-taught. In 1887 she married Methodist minister and educator Lundy Howard Harris. They had three children, only one of whom-a daughter named Faith-lived beyond infancy. Harris's career developed out of financial necessity. Her husband's life in the Methodist ministry and in ministerial education was punctuated by incapacities from bouts of alcoholism and depression. Before and after Lundy Harris's death in 1910, Corra Harris assumed responsibility for her immediate and extended family's financial survival. She remained a widow, spending the last two decades of her life at the place she named "In the Valley" just outside Cartersville in Bartow County. There she died in 1935, having outlived her daughter by 16 years. Harris's prolific writing career began in 1899 with an impassioned letter to the editor of the Independent. Harris wrote with a conventional defense of lynching, yet she so impressed the editors with her disarming expression of homespun politics that the Independent encouraged further submissions. Of all Harris's works, the most acclaimed was A Circuit Rider's Wife, the story of an itinerant Methodist minister and his wife, and their life together on a church circuit in the north Georgia mountains. The book has been noted since that time for its portrayal of rural mountain folk in their earthiness and simplicity. It was reprinted in 1998 by the University of Georgia Press. One of
her works, The Co-Citizens (1915), illustrates especially well
the paradoxical nature of Harris's personality and politics. The protagonist
is loosely based on Rebecca Latimer Felton, a fellow Georgian, and Harris
purportedly wrote the novel to illustrate support for the woman suffrage
movement, though she was actually more ambivalent about than supportive
of the movement. During the 1930s her publishing career was largely limited to the locally popular "Candlelit Column," a tri-weekly article in the Atlanta Journal. Harris died of heart-related illness on February 7, 1935. In 1996 Harris was inducted into Georgia Women of Achievement.

MIT Media Lab
We were inspired by those pinscreen toys where you press your hand on one end, and it shows on the other side, Leithinger says. However, the 15-by-15-inch table, known as inFORM, is much more complicated than a toy. Leithinger says its best to imagine the device as a pinscreen, but with each pin attached to an individual motor. Thats 900 pins, each a half-inch wide, with 900 separate motors. Getting 900 motors in such a dense area was a challenge, Follmer says.
The choice for the motors came down to function and how Leithinger and Follmer wanted the table to work. They knew they wanted inFORM to be an interactive and perceptive process, meaning they wanted users to physically shape the table as well. The duo decided on the kind of motors that power faders, which are commonly used on audio mixing boards and cost $20 to $30 each. These motors are pretty weak, though, so Leithinger and Follmer used linkageslong cables that reduce friction. Each motor is then controlled by a custom circuit board with a microcontroller, which is then connected to a computer.
inFORM - Interacting With a Dynamic Shape Display from Tangible Media Group on Vimeo.
By moving these pins up and down with computer control, we can form a shape, Leithinger says. That shape can be a three-dimensional model you load from a computer, it can be a user interface, or it can be a shape of a remote person.
The most complex feat the inFORM can accomplish is the last onerendering a person or object remotely. For this, the tangible media team decided to use a standard Xbox Kinect, a sensor typically used for motion-intensive gaming, to capture a persons movement. A mounted projector also displays color.
When setting out to create the inFORM display, Leithinger and Follmeralong with Hiroshi Ishii, professor and associate director of the MIT Media Laboratoryhad a clear goal. We really see this as a research platform where we can just quickly prototype things, Leithinger says. Instead of waiting a few minutes or hours for a 3D printer to create a design or using even slower traditional methods of prototyping, testing out different scenarios can happen instantaneously.
Leithinger and Follmer also envisioned practical application in urban planning and CAD modeling, though currently in a lower resolution, where designers could physically manipulate their creations and changes would be reflected on their digital compositions.
But the prototype device could also be a boon for other industries and areas that the creators never intended. Weve been excited to hear how people have responded to the project, Follmer says, explaining the many emails hes received with different ideas on how to apply inFORM to other spaces. One person said we should apply it to musical interfaces and another person said it would be great to use to help blind children understand art and other things. These are things we didnt even think about.

When using the psychic power Protean Form, it triggers psychic phenomena each turn the power is sustained, re-rolling results of 75 or higher, but says the 'second results stand.' Does this mean that it's possible to trigger Perils off of the power's unique psychic phenomena? (Less than a 7% chance, about)
Protean Form and Psychic Phenomena
Posted 28 January 2013 - 09:13 PM
Posted 29 January 2013 - 06:22 AM
It only triggers psychic phenomena IF the original activation roll caused psychic phenomena (by either rolling doubles or being pushed), to begin with.
But yes, if you roll perils both times and your psychic for some reason lacks any ability that lets him modify it, such as favored of the warp, you can cause Perils.
So, if you for some reason feel the burning need to sustain a protean form activation that triggered psychic phenomena, Rez is your best friend.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 02:34 PM
Thanks! It does seem like constant Psychic Phenomena would be a good way to balance what is otherwise a totally off-the-heezy power, though.

I'd recommend not sustaning a Protean Form which causes phenomena, myself. It will most likely end in your (and possibly) others' death somewhere within 10 rounds.

Reverend mort said:

I don't understand where are you getting the ruling that it only triggers Psychic Phenomena if the original activation caused it, since the psychic power very excplicitly states that "Psychic phenomena: The constant stream of warp energy pouring through the Sorcerer's body causes ripples in reality that cannot easily be contained. At the start of the Sorcerer's turn, every turn this power remains in effect, Roll on Table 6-2: Psychic Phenomena and apply the result immediately, re-rolling results of 75 or higher. The second results stand." Since there is nothing in the errata about the power I think the ruling is very clear in this respect.
In addition, if we are reading the rules very carefully, Favoured By The Warp wouldn't help you in this case since it only helps "Whenever a power roll results in Psychic Phenomena" and since sustaining isn't a power roll it wouldn't kick into effect in this situation, RAW
Posted 02 February 2013 - 02:20 PM
I'm thinking that the 'this is in addtion to any normal psychic phenomena' at the end of some powers is what means you get that phenomena automatically and then could get others. If it doesn't say that, I guess it's a replacement effect? Some clarification would be nice, I guess.
Posted 02 February 2013 - 03:24 PM
It's a Corruption power, which are special in that they cause an additional Psychic Phenomena when a Focus Power Test causes Psychic Phenomena (either unfettered doubles or pushing [not counting various powers with effects that changes the phenomena occurance]).
So in the specific case of Protean Form, it's like this: *Unfettered Focus Power Test to activate Protean Form* -> Rolling doubles -> trigger Psychic Phenomena -> roll once on the table (twice as normal if you've got favoured by the warp) + roll another phenomena as per the power write-up due to additional effect from the Corruption phenomena (favoured by the warp applies here too) -> apply both. Every round after that the power is sustained trigger new phenomena (favoured by the warp applies here too) as per the power writeup.
By pushing the additional corruption phenomena is just automatic, which is the reason it's preferable to not push that particular power.

I would never talk you out of it! Go for it.
You already have my tips on driving through Atlanta!
Has any brave soul attempted a Disney drive from around Michigan to Orlando? Any tips to share? How long did it take you, where might be a good place or two to stop for the night? This woman is going alone with her two older kids on a road trip, so I'll take any advice! (short of trying to talk me out of it-I love a challenge!)
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
Yes, thanks. Its a pretty straight shot from there?
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
on road trips, i like to keep some nut and bolts, or paintballs in my jacket pocket, for when the cagers are tailgating me, i can toss a few of them bad boys over my shoulder.
i also keep a retractable metal baton in my pocket. in these parts, we have a lot of ****'s Angels and Pagan activity, who if you are wearing the wrong colors, will run you off the road and take your bike.
that's all i have for now.
keep the shiny side up and the rubber on the ground.
We did Pa to WDW last year with a 2 1/2 year....the older kids will be a snap....we drove straight thru with various stops to stretch our legs and short naps...took about 23 hours...needless to say we stopped for the nite on the way back...lol
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"
FOR MORE INFO CLICK THIS LINK http://inside.unicefusa.org/goto/Meghyn
The faster you drive the faster you'll get there.. and remember... speeding doesn't count when you're out of state...
Um.....hello???? Why wouldn't you ask your Michigan friend who is a driving to Disney verteran from up North?!?! As far as places to stop...I can't help you with that because we always drive straight through. Always have, even when I was a kid, that how my Parents always made the trip! From where you live it will take you probably about 22-23 driving hours, depending how often you have to stop. Last June it took us about 19 hour from here (we are a little over an hour from the Ohio state line) and that was with regular bathroom and gas fillup stops, hitting the drive through and a nice sitdown breakfast which got us out of the car for about an hour.
Depending on how many hours you want to do a day.....I would say if you can make it as far as Atlanta, GA (through Atlanta so you don't get held up in morning rush hour traffic the next day). It should make a comfortable 2 day ride.
If you have a portable DVD player or laptop that plays DVD's it's a must for our trips. We just load up with Disney movies and we are off!!!!!
I would also throw a cooler in the car with some bottled water and soft drinks to avoid little stops. If you are traveling alone with just you and the kids, I would certainly try to avoid stopping at rest areas (especially in the evening) and go to gas stations instead for potty breaks!!!

oh fun! Road Trip! I would definately second Melissa's DVD suggestion. If that's not an option, I'd get lots of cds they will listen to. Cracker Barrell has the audio cd rental thing. I know they have Peter & the Star Catchers which is something the kids might like to listen to as well. If you're anywhere near Augusta, I'd love for you & the kids to stay with me. It's about a 6 1/2 hour drive from my driveway to WDW property. I may be out of your way, in which case, I'd understand you not stopping in. Anyway... that's a long trip, maybe they'll sleep for some of it!
"What ARRRRGH you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"No, What ARRRRGH you doing?"Cap'n Jack lives again!"I'll try anything once or twice, that's the kind of mouse I am"
Really the only driving advice I have is to call me when you get to Knoxville, TN so we can meet. From here it is about 10 hours to Disney, so it may be a good place to stop for the night if you are not as ambitious as Melissa and don't want to drive staight through. With my two kids we can ususaly make from here to my parents house(Ocala 90 miles north of Disney) with 3 to 4 stops. I think a new express way has opened from the Fl Turnpike to the west side of Disney that will let you avoid I-4 and all it's mess, Tampa should know for sure if it is open yet
From our experience of driving from Baltimore to Orlando, the longest part is once you hit the FL border; you think you've finally made it but you still have a long way to go. Tampa at rush hour is fun. It will make the lines in the park seem like childs play. Have a safe trip.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.

We drive (have made about 35 trips to WDW and Naples since 1975) the 1,031 miles to WDW in two days (the 1225 miles to Naples in three). We stop about midway in Cartersville, GA. However, we will never drive thru Atlanta ever again. Next time we will go thru AL (I-65) and then across I-10 to get to I-75. It is a few miles longer, but I am getting too old to get stuck in Atlanta traffic for 1 or more hours each way. If we don't hit Atlanta at the wrong time it takes us exactly 16 hours with short stops. In the past few years we have stayed at Holiday Inn Express. We love the all-you-can-eat breakfasts they now have. Also, if you join their Priority Club you can get free nights after a few stays.

Coming from anywhere north of Orlando you shouldn't go anywhere near Tampa, unless you forgot to get on the Fl Turnpike and off of I-75, maybe she ment Orlando, again the new west expressway should solve the Orlando problem.Originally Posted by disneydreamer98

The Park, The Rain and Other Things: Exploring Oahu's Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden
by: Maureen O'Connellposted: Mon Jan 06, 2014 at 09:36 AM
Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden's reservoir lake, Loko Waimaluhia, or "lake of tranquil waters."
Each of my past several visits to Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden began at sunrise. Greeted by a few wild chickens strutting near the park's still-locked, gated entry, my running buddies and I would lace up our footwear and survey the skies above Windward Oahu and the lushly verdant hills before us. Then, rain or shine, we would run.
I loved scrambling up and down the park's winding road, perennially dotted with showering blooms from rainforest trees and plant species native to Hawai'i and other far flung tropic locales from Polynesia and Melanesia to Malaysia, Africa, Sri Lanka and India. On these runs, I typically gave more attention to my pace and snippets of conversation among my friends, than admiring the park's profusion of nature.
Today will be different.
As I sign in for a guided nature hike at Hoomaluhia's visitor center, talk in my group of a half-dozen visitors is already focused on Oahu's windward side geology and the Kaneohe-area park's origins at the foot of the majestic Koolau Mountain Range. All of this before our hike even begins on this wondrously clear morning. The good weather is welcome.
Cloudbursts are frequent at the park, with annual rainfall counts tallying more than 100 inches. Interestingly, the yearly rainfall that keeps the park perpetually verdant was a large part of what motivated its genesis.
Following floods in 1965 and 1969 that devastated Kaneohe communities downstream of where Hoomaluhia now sits, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was contracted to design and build a 2,200-foot earthen dam on area-traversing Kamoalii Stream. A planned added benefit of the massive, earth-moving flood-control project was a 400-acre park surrounding the completed dam's reservoir. The aptly named garden park, Hoomaluhia, Hawaiian for "make a place of peace and tranquility," opened in 1982. The 32-acre reservoir created by the dam was given the name, Loko Waimaluhia, or "lake of tranquil waters."

Tempted By Dark Secrets
Announcing The Lurker at the Threshold - an expansion for Arkham Horror |
Arkham Horror | Published 15 February 2010 |
Through the murky streets of Arkham, unnatural gates are opening to connect our world with strange other dimensions. Out of the depths of these eldritch pathways have begun to crawl profane creatures that even now haunt the innocent, dragging away the unwary and causing havoc on silent midnight streets. At the epicenter of this living nightmare roil whispers of arcane magic cults, ancient family secrets, and a truth too terrible to behold. Join as one of a team of intrepid investigators committed to rooting out these otherworldly portals before an ancient evil reawakens, bringing its ancient horror back to destroy the world as we know it. Welcome to the horror of 1920's Arkham, Massachusetts!
Really looking forward to this new Expansion and hoping they will still do more, maybe on the Dreamlands. On the subject of Dreams I am still dreaming that someday F.F.G will decide to produce Miniatures for Arkham Horror.
Awesome!! My favorite game just keeps getting bigger and bigger! :D
Also, what was Shub-Niggurath saying about blessed and cursed dice?
will be intresting to say the least
Hawt sauce! I'll be picking this up when it comes out.
It look like better than the other small expansion!
Sigh... can't wait!
Great news. New AH expansions & components are always welcome. Bring on the Blessed & Cursed dice too!
I got AH and all the expansions except for DH for my birthday and Christmas. I now have get this and DH. AH is a blast solo or with a group. The new elements sound like great additions.
I too hope for new Location cards for expansions and not only for Arkham.
Brilliant news! Can't wait.
Fingers X'd for a new Big Box Expansion soon.
love it :) hope it will be out ASAP :)

Talbot County Man Admits to Sexually Exploiting Two Children To Produce Child Pornography
Baltimore, Maryland - Paul Henry Brown, age 70, of Easton, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to sexually exploiting a minor to produce child pornography.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge William Winter of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Talbot County Sheriff Dallas Pope; and Talbot County State's Attorney Scott G. Patterson.
According to the plea agreement, two girls under the age of 10 stated that they had been repeatedly, sexually abused by Brown over the course of several months, to include being forced to perform oral sex on Brown. Talbot County deputies contacted Brown on July 30, 2010, who denied the allegations. On August 11, 2010, Talbot County deputies executed a search warrant at Brown's residence and seized a digital camera and flash memory card. Further investigation revealed that the camera was used to take pictures of the two girls nude, and engaging in sexually explicit conduct. In one image, the two girls are sitting on Brown's lap, all of them naked. Two CD-Rs were also seized which contained over 600 images and many videos of child pornography, including portrayals of sadistic conduct. Most of the images involved prepubescent girls.
As part of his plea agreement, Brown must register as a sex offender in the place where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).
Brown faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 in prison followed by up to a lifetime of supervised release. U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. has scheduled sentencing for April 25, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov. Details about Maryland's program are available at www.justice.gov/usao/md/Safe-Childhood/index.html.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or its online tip form at http://www.ice.gov/exec/forms/hsi-tips/tips.asp. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ICE-HSI, Talbot County Sheriff's Office and Talbot County State's Attorney's Office for their work in the investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Judson T. Mihok, who is prosecuting the case.

I am delighted to welcome the 14th edition of Cardiff University's Innovation Network Awards. A lot has changed since I launched the network in 1996 but one thing has not and that is the Competition's reputation for highlighting the excellent research that Cardiff University develops with business.
I have been pleased to see how much the network has grown since it was launched and now has around 2000 members - this is testament to the region's strength in innovation and to Cardiff University's role in driving that forward.
There have been many successes over the past 14 years, a number of which have taken innovative ideas from south Wales to market and then overseas, generating much needed income for the UK economy. I was particularly pleased that last year's winner of the Innovation Award, Cymtox have generated global sales for their Continuous Toxicity Monitor, including in China.
The challenge will be for this year's winners to be equally ambitious. This is one of my main priorities as Foreign Secretary, where I am keen to open doors for innovative products from the UK to find markets overseas. That also requires businesses to be ambitious and have the confidence to take their products overseas. If you do that, I can assure you, our Embassies and UKTI staff overseas will do all they can to assist you.
The network and today's awards represent excellent practice in terms of bringing together local businesses and the expertise to be found among the academic community. I hope that in 14 years time we are celebrating more success that has been generated as a result of the Cardiff University Innovation Network's achievements: if the level of innovation we have seen to date is our measure; I am sure we will be.
In the meantime I would like to congratulate and wish every success to this year's winners.

For Woolcott (Kuala Lumpur: for Parsons only; New York UN: for Sen Willesee and Harry only; Lisbon: for Cooper only) from Renouf
Thank you for your O.JA16151 which I have discussed with the Acting Minister. He agrees with your comments under the heading 'Australian position', from paragraph 19 onwards.
- We have repeated the telegram to Senator Willesee in New York and to Parsons in Kuala Lumpur and Cooper in Lisbon. Within the Department, it has been given a very limited distribution. Copies have also been sent to the Minister for Defence, Tange and Jockel.
- ....2we have confirmation of the planning you describe in paragraph 12 et seq of your telegram and there [are] also the press reports referred to in your JA1609.3 You appreciate the considerable stresses and strains which developments such as are being planned by the Indonesians will place on our relations with Indonesia and on current Australian policies towards Portuguese Timor. The longer it takes for the Indonesians to achieve their aims, the greater will be the stresses. Timing is therefore of considerable importance to us. Do you know when the OPSUS plan is likely to be launched? We should also be interested in any indications the Indonesians may give on the likely duration of fighting in Portuguese Timor once their plan gets under way. Is it the two months mentioned in another context (cf. O.LB2824 )?
- Because of the difficulties which prolonged Indonesian intervention in Portuguese Timor would cause for Australia, the other possible solutions of the problem of Portuguese Timor become more attractive to us. In paragraph 15 of your telegram, you mention that Indonesia considers that the United Nations will be unable to act effectively over Portuguese Timor. In the short term at least, we are inclined to question that assessment. Few countries and none of the Permanent Members of the Security Council are likely to have much interest in Portuguese Timor, and this may enable the United Nations to take action over the problem. The following paragraphs reflect my discussion of your telegram with the Acting Minister and the Minister for Defence.
- There are various courses possible in the United Nations. As a first step the Security Council might designate, or ask the Secretary-General to appoint, someone to go to Portuguese Timor to talk to the parties principally involved and to report to the Council. Some sort of United Nations peacekeeping force could be despatched to Timor or there could be a Good Offices Committee designed to negotiate a ceasefire. Both might be possible: the peacekeeping force might follow the Good Offices Committee. The latter might be selected by the Security Council or appointed by the Secretary-General.lt might consist of representatives from selected countries or it might be made up of Secretariat members. Whether these measures would produce a solution to the problem of Portuguese Timor is another question, but at least initially we would by no means exclude the possibility that the United Nations would be able to take some action on the problem.
- We recognise that whatever course is followed in relation to Portuguese Timor it will have substantial disadvantages as well as advantages. This comment applies as much to United Nations involvement as to any other course. But as we interpret the trend of events, they are leading in the direction of Portugal's referring the issue to the United Nations, and it would seem only prudent that Indonesia, ourselves and other interested parties should begin some contingency planning.
- Nor, indeed, do we share Indonesia's conviction that United Nations involvement would necessarily be detrimental to regional interests. The Indonesians, for example, have indicated strong opposition to the idea of a Good Offices Committee. But they did so, in our view, without giving adequate attention to the possibilities that such a committee might provide for Indonesia to establish its status and credentials in Portuguese Timor.
- If we were to go somewhat further down the road of United Nations consideration of Portuguese Timor, there are other possibilities which might be opened up, including the possibility of designating Timor as a United Nations Trust Territory (under Chapter XII of the Charter) with several regional countries being designated as Administering Authority but with Indonesia doing the actual work. The example of Nauru offers a possible precedent: the Administering Authority for Nauru was the Governments of the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, but the other two Governments had Australia act for them in actually running the place.
- If the issue of Portuguese Timor finds its way into the United Nations Australia would certainly have to participate in any debates and show a forthcoming attitude towards proposals which emerged aimed at restoring peace and the process of orderly decolonisation of the territory. We should hope for Indonesian understanding in this: the Australian community would expect no less of an Australian Labor Government.
- But the foregoing is not meant to imply any suggestion that Australia itself would initiate action to size5 the United Nations of the Timor issue or encourage the Portuguese to do so.It is simply that we believe that Australia and Indonesia should begin to think about possible scenarios if, as seems likely, the Portuguese decide to refer the issue to the United Nations. Naturally we should wish in that event to co-ordinate very closely with the Indonesian delegation.
- We should also wish to avoid a situation where United Nations involvement takes place in an anti-Indonesian context. With this thought in mind, we consider it important that, if the Portuguese refer the question of Portuguese Timor [to] the United Nations, they should not do so in terms which are critical of or an embarrassment to Indonesia. There is perhaps little that we can do to dissuade them from criticism of Indonesia in their reference to the United Nations, given Portuguese suspicion of Indonesia. It may, however, be worthwhile putting it to the Indonesians that, if their further negotiations with Santos fail, it would be worthwhile trying to keep the atmosphere of the negotiations fairly cordial and hopefully express some understanding to the Portuguese of their intention to refer the matter to the United Nations.
- Finally, I should mention that we agree with your reasoning in paragraph 22 about the difficulties in Australian participation in the proposed Joint Authority.

Ok so I just discovered an acorn with a six inch sapling growing from it. It has three fairly large leaves on the top and I would like to use this sapling to produce a reasonable small (2 to 3 feet) bonsai. can someone please give this total beginner an idiots guide as to what to do next. |

- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 13:10
Sure. Grow it in-ground for fastest increase in trunk caliper and foliage. Or, if the ground isn't an option, grow it in a large container. I have grown oaks from acorns directly in containers, and it is very slow. Where do you live/grow? Josh |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Oct 3, 11 at 14:36
I hope you have better luck than I have. When you want to kill an oak seedling you can cut the top off like weekly for the rest of your life it seems and it won't give up. But every sprout I've tried to dig and pot has died. Are there other acorns around your yard? I don't see what difference a year or two would make in the overall scheme of a bonsai, you might have better luck sprouting your own acorn in a pot (outside) from the jump start. I was trying to harvest 4 sprouts to start growing a living chair. This thread inspires me to go grab a few of the 2.9 billion acorns in the yard and stick them in pots before spring. Maybe if I then bury the pots as close to my most thorny roses as possible they'll be fooled into "sprouting in captivity." Off-topic, but while trying to figure out which kind of oak tree is in my yard, I learned they must be 40-50 years old before they make acorns. And that there are so many different oaks, I no longer have an interest in figuring out which this one is. BUT, it's nice to know there's plenty of time if I get curious again. This tree's probably in the 60-80 year old range, which means it's still a kid. |

Quoted from cindyt It seems to me that it's not so much a matter of how many you take, but of what you are taking and what they are for. If you have multiple serious health problems, then you may need more, or not.
Quoted from oddos I do a little bit of polyvite.-Nitricycle-BromelainI also take zinc and magnesium form other manufacturers, as wel as Dr. Dave`s Instant Einstein.I guess my fish, flax and olive oil usage can be viewed as supplements, too.I do keep very close eye on what I eat though and drink a lot of fresh juices, as well as smoothies with lots of berries.When it comes to supplements containing plants I can get a hold of fresh, I really try to use that instead.I would probably rely a bit more on supplements if I traveled more.
Quoted from oddos Always make them myself. I usually drink them right after I make them or I may bring some in a thermos flask that I`ve kept in the freezer over night for lunch.(The flask, not the juice. That I make just before I leave.) Buying is too expensive, hard to find here and I probably wouldn`t get organic stuff. As for the beet. I guess I eat one and juice another one pretty much every day. My basic veggie juice is just carrot beet and ginger. Then I add whatever I feel like. Leafy greens I really prefer to eat whole. I think most of them taste great, but I don`t like them in my juice. I really just juice stuff that would be hard to for me to consume a great amount of n any other way, or stuff that I don`t like eating raw. Like if I do asparagus for dinner, even if I just steam them carefully, I`d probably throw the hard ends in there and maybe a little more just to be sure to get some raw stuff. My lunch and dinner pretty much look like a mountain of sallad.
Quoted from Victoria What did you read about red beets on a daily basis?
Quoted from jayney-O (my guess is he heard they are hIgh in oxalic acid)
