The good news is that based upon the odds, the blasters have a healthy 1:5 shot at an autograph or a 1:3 shot at a die cut (based upon listed odds of 1:41 for the autographs and 1:24 for the die cuts and 8 packs per blaster) - together that is about a 50% shot of something from a blaster. The bad news is that you have approximately a 50% at getting nothing but base.

While the opening round of the Cup netted no wins for the Panthers round two was a completely different story, dominating the junior grades to put themselves in a strong position heading into the final of the qualifying games next weekend.
The under-17 side produced a remarkable 10-2 win over Centrals, storming home after a close first half to dominate the second stanza.
Under-17 coach David Stafford said it was clear from the outset that the Panthers were the stronger unit, however his side had a lot more to give than what it produced in the opening half.
"The under-17s started slowly, it was 2-1 at half time but we gave them a bit of a rev up at half time and after that we played like we can and banged on eight goals to win 10-2," Stafford.
"We were clearly the better team but leaving them in the game with a chance through the way we were playing.
"We played a lot better in the second half, converted our chances and as a result got the result that we should."

Freya Active creates a stir at Moda with England Netball squad to celebrate new partnership!
Showing off their skills in the latest AW12 Freya Active collection, members of the England Netball team attended the UK's largest trade fashion exhibition Moda, in order to celebrate and support its new partnership with Freya Active. The partnership between Freya Active and the England Netball Team is one which hopes to raise the profile of netball across the UK and encourage more women of all ages to enjoy netball whilst wearing a correctly fitting sports bra. During Moda, members of the England Netball squad hit a Freya Active branded mini court and showed off their netball shooting skills wearing the latest Freya Active collection for AW12. Visitors to the Freya Active stand were invited to join the England Netball players, and given the chance to join in on the sporting fun. Ann-Marie Manley, Head of Marketing at Freya Active said: "Moda was a great place to debut our England Netball Team. The England Netball Squad are absolutely fantastic and the sport does not always get the recognition it deserves so we are really looking forward to working with them in order to raise their profile as well as our own. We felt Moda was a great show for the England team to come along to." Since Freya launched its sportswear arm in 2008, Freya Active has gone from strength to strength offering innovative non compression, bust separation sports bras with unrivalled fit, support and comfort up to an H cup.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Had a lovely relaxing weekend we had trouble getting there o the fri and didn't arrive until late we phoned sue and she was very understanding and let us check in late. We had a lovely time was very quite and peaceful and the places to eat recommended were lovely.
A great escape from the hustle and bustle of busy work.
It's a very remote location but if you come prepared it's great to get away!
Very nice lodge clean and tidy but too quiet for us would have preferred more faciilties on site
Lovely part of the world and we had a fabulous time. Our only constructive comments would be that the accommodation is starting to show sign of age and will soon require modernization out of the '80's and the shower was rarely warm. Other than that is was great, spacious, well equipped and the hot tub was brilliant
Perfect location for a long weekend break... Within a peaceful area. Staff were helpful and well worth the money.
Had a very relaxing break away from work to calibrate our 40th wedding anniversary
Having quarry lorries going past every few seconds from 6am until 5pm every day was horribly noisy and was not a quiet relaxing holiday. Would never have booked if it had stated it was 10 feet from a road and that road was the road to a quarry. Would not recommend and would never go again. Real disappointment after our holiday with you last year.
Outstanding accommodation perfectly suited for disabled visitors. The location is pleasant but a little remote, necessitating fairly long drives to any main attraction. Ideal for a quiet holiday.
the lodge was comfortable but the seating downstairs could hve been better for 4 people - we brought a chair down from the upstairs to make the seating more comfortable - we could not have squashed 3 people onto the sofa!
The location is remote and quiet but close enough to towns and amenities to enjoy the best of both worlds. We loved watching the alpacas in the next field and walking along the canal, although the autumn weather limited our opportunity to spend much time outside. There is not much else around so not a high mark for the location - there is nothing wrong with it, there is just not much there. A very warm and informative welcome from Sue.
A lovely lodge in a lovely location. It was a little hard to find (we were lost for a long time) but well worth the time spent trying to get there. I would say that your own transport seems to be a must to get around the area but there are some brilliant places to visit within an hour's drive of the site.
Some attractions were overpriced.
This holiday was very relaxing and certainly recharged our batteries. The accommodation was spacious and clean as well as very equipped. The hot tub was WONDERFUL..... The road is fairly busy in the day therefore we didn't fancy walking as the traffic was mainly lorries going to the quarry however you couldn't hear it inside the accommodation. . We really enjoyed the quiet setting as it suits us to be away from the humdrum...... Will definitely return..

Hello All, This is my first post here and really first year getting involved in gardening and landscaping. My wife and I just bought our first house this past August and its our first spring in it. Needless to say I am very excited to get going. My question is, has anybody laid down bluestone steps on a dirt hillside. And if u have, what are some of the pointers you would give to a newbie. Thx |

I will say this, as a consumer like you. I am no designer, but I have opinions. Not sure what bluestone is, but I'm very sure designers here will NOT address your questions. They do not know what to do with a hill.... most of them. There are some. Very few people live on hillsides. Most just have ordinary flat tract homes. Those are cake to landscape. A hillside is a whole new ballgame. We own a huge hill. I call it a mountain! It goes down to a seasonal stream and then back up on the other side. I suggest you post photos of your project, and let people chime in. And you are in CT? so zone what? We have so many steps put in by previous owners. Nothing matches, but I'm grateful for all of them and for my hiking staff. Terraces and steps are in your future! Suzi |

Not sure what bluestone is, but I'm very sure designers here will NOT address your questions. They do not know what to do with a hill.... most of them. There are some. Not sure why anyone would make such an outrageous statement!! Why wouldn't a designer know what to do with a hill?? And FWIW, a large part of SoCal is built on hillsides, not to mention scores of other locations, so the whole premise of this theory is in question. Regardless........how do you intend to lay the stone? As slabs or as pavers? And how do you intend to prep the area? Laying pavers/steps on a hillside is not much different from laying pavers on a flat surface - the basic prep work is the same. A photo of the area in question is worth a thousand words :-)) And let us know how you plan to proceed with this project as far as the prep is concerned. I'm sure several designers will respond. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 16:17
Let's see, the OP posted his concerns on the 7th. Usually a designer will answer. Nothing. Now gardengal is sure one of them will respond on the 8th. I'm not so sure. I do live on a massive hillside and our property includes a ravine with a seasonal stream. The hillside garden forum is dead. I have watched, over and over, people posting here who have questions about hillsides get completely ignored. I usually just post to bump hoping some designer will pay attention. Scroll down and see who responded to other hillside requests. Me. That's about it! I did pose a question with photos a while back and yaardvark told me to address other areas of my yard. Period! Suzi |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 18:51
Ummmm, I AM a designer. I do not visit Garden Web every day because I am busy working, especially at this time of year. And while we designers DO respond to questions frequently, we are often disinclined to design for free online. Which is why one doesn't always see a lot of response from the pros for the "help me design" posts. And since there is so much response to this forum from non-professionals, response from the practicing designers is not nearly as active as it has been in prior years. Nor as diverse. But if you check the archives, hillside landscaping has been discussed many times. I am not completely sure asking how to lay steps on a hillside fully qualifies as 'landscaping' but we can let that go. At least I asked some relevant questions to get the OP to clarify their intent. And further explain their situation. |
bumping so I won't miss further responses. I need to relay 18x18 exposed aggregate pavers that got moved around like driftwood after torrential rains last summer. Want to know recommended base materials. Mine is on a slope also. gardengal, your advise and opinions are always welcomed by me. Appreciate you! Rosie |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 19:16
Well, this from an owner of a mountain. Start at the bottom. Frame the steps, pour concrete one wheelbarrow at a time, and set the pavers in. Keep it wet till the concrete sets. A week. Seriously wet it. If you don't want to concrete, then you need to put a lot of framework and sand to keep the pavers in place. I am learning the hardscrabble way. Rogue, Suzi |
"Not sure why anyone would make such an outrageous statement!!" [that a designer would not know what to do with a hill.] I thought the exact same thing ... outrageous. "and yaardvark told me to address other areas of my yard. Period!" I think you are missing some nuances of the reply. I often comment on extra things. People are generally interested what makes their property look good. It isn't necessarily limited to a plant or a brick. It could be anything that is within the picture. We could take another look at your thread, but my recollection was that your reply to my suggestions was on the huffy, not-very-thankful side ... which is why I had nothing further to contribute. Not here to twist arms. Some people expect a solution before there is any dialogue. Unless they provide all the relevant information up front (which is almost never) it can't happen. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 20:03
OP, could you post a photo of this blue stone and your mission with it? You now have the attention of actual designers. Suzi |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 21:06
Yardvark, fix his problem. This isn't about me. I've been officially dismissed by you. But I am a champion for the ignored. Suzi |
- Posted by deviant-deziner Oh zone (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 23:28
do you want steps that are in slab form ( they are thick enough to be both the riser and the tread) OR a combination of blue stone tread and field stone riser ? and or do you plan to have side walls ? probably best to scan some images on Houzz , find an example of what you want and then ask about construction methods. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 23:59
Wow! I wish you were in So CA, deviant... I'm a little rogue! Love this! Suzi |
The OP has to set some parameters, and then participate in the conversation (answer questions, provide site photos, react to suggestions, etc.) We don't know anything about his project other than it's stone and a hill. |
- Posted by chris_gargs zone 2 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 20:01
sorry about my incomplete/vague posting. and sorry about setting off such a sore subject about design pros giving away free advise. im just looking for tips from dyi-ers who might have laid down some stone. im using 2in bluestone/flagstone and i want to stagger in up a slope/hillside on the back of my yard. im posting pics. |
- Posted by chris_gargs zone 2 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 20:06
here is another pic of the hill facing up, im gonna start on the bottom and work my way up. how deep should i dig to start my gravel drainage |
"how deep should i dig to start my gravel drainage" You aren't close to being ready to dig. There is a major difference in construction methods between cold and warm climates. You first need to identify a method that will work for your area. Since I live in a warm climate and you in a cold one (zone 2), there is little I can suggest. Regardless of climate and construction types, there are good steps and bad ones. Good steps are uniform in both riser height and tread distance. And the relation of riser to tread dimensions should conform to a simple formula. Begin your design by measuring the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the slope and approaches where the steps will be built. Make a profile drawing of the slope to scale. |
I still don't think it's clear what the intent is. Is this to be a solid stone staircase ... or stepping stones set into the hill? |
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 Eastern NY (My Page) on Sun, Apr 13, 14 at 16:57
I guess I will take a stab at answering what I think the question is. IMHO, a mortared stone staircase is well beyond the ability of somebody without construction experience. There are too many things that have to be aligned, fit together, levelled, etc. A DIY stepping stone 'stair' is a totally different animal. However, it isn't going to be very solid. The idea is the stones are placed, then when they move, they are moved back. I'd avoid anything else other than the stones because it will just get in the way when the stones have to be replaced. The biggest issue for DIY with this is that larger stones will be less likely to move, but also much heavier to place. A hybrid type would be framing out the steps with landscape timbers, then paving them with dry-laid stone. This is very commonly done with pavers and brick, and should be doable with bluestone. It is a reasonable DIY job, though it will take time and effort. |
2" slabs of bluestone are for flatwork (patios, walks). If you're just dry-setting them this is the wrong application for the material. If you're setting them on something, whole other story |
- Posted by elysianfields 9b CA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 5:09
This is a hiking trail with small boulders set into the steep hillside going up along a waterfall. They have not budged in years and are simply set in soil. I have also done step stone stairs on a natural slope in my back yard by setting the stones in the soil which is clay, then surrounding them with rough natural gravel for drainage. They aren't going anywhere and I prefer the natural edge. Though the polished designer layouts are fantastic, I had a good amount of hardscape remnants around to use up. |

I am planning on seeing it this Wednesday i really want to see it soon . I'm having surgery next week and i doubt i'll be able to go sit in a theater for sometime after that.
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
And far more important than Tangled...Good luck with your surgery. Hope it goes well. Let us know, we are always here for moral support! Join us on Random Thoughts thread in the General topic, during your recovery, we will try and keep you cheered up! Again best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thank You the Surgery went fine and i am back on my feet, i had the chance to see "Tangled" twice while recuperrating. Once in 3D and once in 2D and i enjoyed it immensely. I am a huge fan of Zachary Levi's since he's on one of my favorite shows "Chuck" and i did enjoy him as Flynn, but it was definitely Mandy Moore's performance in this movie that won me over. I think she was just phenomenal in this role from her voice work to her singing. The animation was just beautiful to me it was a feast for the eyes. Does anyone know when this will be out on DVD ? Because i am waiting with baited breath to add it to my collection.
A great animated movie which is produced by Disnep Channel. I have watched this movie in cinema with mine friends group when it was released.I and mine friends was actually happy with this movie trailer because i have watched this movie trailer on youtube after seeing the movie because I thought the movie would be stupid, but end of the movie was very amazing. Probably the best Disney movie. All of us very enjoyed this movie in cinema.
Matt and I really enjoyed Tangled - finally got to see it last Saturday (it was released late here in the UK). Hubby said he found the first 20 minutes or so a little bit slow, but as a whole thought that it was a good watch.
I thought the music was beautiful and the animation was outstanding. I was mesmerised by Rapunzel's hair - I loved all the little details they put in to it which made it appear so realistic. I only wish that they'd carried on that kind of details to Mother Gothel's locks... I felt there was a lack of movement in her hair when she moved. Minor thing, I know, but just something I noticed.
Oh, and I think I now have a little crush on Flynn Rider - may have to get my photo taken with him in May - LOL.

Absolutely LOVED it!!! I am not like everybody else, I think Disney had some really good movies in the late 90s and early 2000s. Brother Bear was phenominal, the animation and background animation was superb! I guess its just beacuse my kids have been watching all of them so much and we have great memories of going to see those movies. However TANGLED really has that early 90s feel to it that I think Princess and the Frog was lacking a little bit. I cant wait to get the Blu ray and watch it a few more times before we go to WDW in June!!

Beaver Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Beavers are easily recognizable because of their flat paddle-like tails that are used for building dams. These noctural aquatic rodents are experiencing a decline in population due to the hunting of their fur, the use of their glands as medicine and perfume, and because they interfere with land usage when they harvest trees and flood waterways. Not always loved, in areas where they have built their lodges, massive destruction to forests and trees has occurred. This personalized beaver ornament is a great gift for a conservationist or anyone who just loves watching these hard-working critters.
Dimensions: 3" x 3 3/4"

Defining Sustainability, Defining the Future (Released September 2005)
Juan Ignacio Aragon�s, Carlos Izurieta and Gonzalo Raposo.
Psicothema, Vol. 15, No. 2, May 2003, pp. 221-226.
This study originated as an investigation into what people mean by Sustainable Development. It attempted to discover the dimensions underlying the concept and to find out how these are modified by political beliefs or by ways of relating to nature. To achieve this aim, a content analysis was carried out to analyse 132 definitions of Sustainable Development. Within these definitions, 10 dimensions were observed, among which development and nature and the environment stood out. The study showed that there was a loss of elements among the interviewees with regard to the WCED definition. This suggests that there are communication problems, which affect the expression of what exactly is meant by the concept. Attitudes towards nature affect the way in which this concept is understood, and not the political beliefs of the participants.

Human Resource Management.Special The Future of Human Resource Management, Vol. 44, No. 2, Sum 2005, pp. 129-136.
Two paradigm shifts are discussed here: talentship and sustainability. First, the traditional service-oriented HR focus must be extended to a "decision science" that enhances decisions about human capital. We call this decision science talentship. It includes talent segmentation, or identifying pivotal talent pools where the quality and/or availability of human capital makes the biggest difference to strategic success. Second, HR and business leaders increasingly define organizational effectiveness beyond traditional financial outcomes to encompass sustainability--achieving success today without compromising the needs of the future. A common strategic human capital decision science can reveal pivotal talent under both traditional and sustainability-based definitions, and thus uncover important insights about the talent implications of the shifting definition of strategic success.

Journal of Social Work Research and Evaluation, Vol. 4, No. 1, spring-summer 2003, pp. 121-135.
A forum that focused on skills, theory, & practice for women in community-sustainable development brought together 131 people from 14 countries to explore these issues. Participants with experience as grassroots leaders/activists, nongovernmental organization representatives, foundation representatives, & scholars explored their ways of knowing & describing sustainable development. Different experiences did not seem to result in very different concepts for describing sustainable development. The authors found similarities across nine components of the definitions from the different experience groups. These components are also congruent with current definitions of sustainable development from the literature. 23 References. Adapted from the source document.

Evaluation & Program Planning, Vol. 27, No. 2, May 2004, pp. 135-149.
This article presents an informed definition of sustainability and an associated planning model for sustaining innovations (pertinent to both infrastructure and interventions) within organizational, community, and state systems. The planning model stems from a systematic review of the literature and from concepts derived from a series of 'think tanks' made up of key substance abuse prevention professionals. The model assumes a five-step process (i.e. assessment, development, implementation, evaluation, and reassessment/modification) and addresses factors known to inhibit efforts to sustain an innovation. One set of factors concerns the capacity of prevention systems to support sustainable innovations. The other pertains to the extent to which a particular innovation is sustainable. A sustainability action strategy is presented that includes goals with corresponding sets of objectives, actions, and results that determine the extent of readiness to sustain an innovation. Sustainability tools to assist in implementing the planning model are illustrated, and next steps for the model are discussed. This planning model provides a conceptual and practical understanding of sustainability that can lead to further investigation.

Environment, Vol. 47, No. 3, April 2005, pp. 8-21.
Since the term sustainable development was coined, a core set of guiding principles and values has evolved around it. However, its definition remains fluid, allowing institutions, programs of environment and development, and places from local to global to project their own aspirations onto the banner of sustainable development.
William M. Lafferty and Eivind Hovden.
Environmental Politics, Vol. 12, No. 3, autumn 2003, pp. 1-22.
Environmental policy integration (EPI) is a key defining feature of sustainable development. Despite the fact that EPI has been the subject of much debate in both academic & policy-making circles, conceptual issues relating to EPI have received relatively little treatment. The conceptual work that has been completed on EPI generally fails to place the concept in an appropriate environmental policy context, & this in turn appears to betray the fact that the concept clearly implies a relatively strong revision of the traditional hierarchy of policy objectives. In this article the authors discuss the origins of the concept & provide conceptual clarification regarding its definition & context. Further, the article derives a simple analytical framework consisting of vertical & horizontal dimensions of EPI, which can serve as a useful point of departure for further empirical work on the implementation of EPI. 1 Figure, 35 References. Adapted from the source document.

This paper provides an overview of the contemporary debate on the concepts and definitions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Sustainability (CS). The conclusions, based on historical perspectives, philosophical analyses, impact of changing contexts and situations and practical considerations, show that 'one solution fits all'-definition for CS(R) should be abandoned, accepting various and more specific definitions matching the development, awareness and ambition levels of organizations.; Reprinted by permission of Springer

Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 44, No. 2-3, May-Nov 2003, pp. 107-119.
According to Dr. Clare Graves, mankind has developed eight core value systems, as responses to prevailing circumstances. Given different contexts and value systems, a one-solution-fits-all concept of corporate sustainability is not reasonable. Therefore this paper presents various definitions and forms of sustainability, each linked to specific (societal) circumstances and related value systems. A sustainability framework - an essential element of the overall European Corporate Sustainability Framework - is described showing six types of organizations at different developmental stages, with different forms of corporate sustainability, each supported by specific institutional arrangements.; Reprinted by permission of Springer

Historically, towns and cities have developed at easily accessible transport nodes to the sea, rivers, or roads. Unfortunately, the macro accessibility of cities that has followed in general was not extended to the micro level. In this paper, transport sustainability is assessed in terms of the following definition: a sustainable city provides mobility for all by creating accessibility of destinations, preferably by slow modes or public transport. The use of the private car is limited, congestion does not exist, and measures are taken if noise pollution occurs. From this perspective, accessibility within cities is often a problem, notably because of the separation between transportation and settlement planning. South Africa reflects this general pattern, which has resulted in unsustainable urban areas, but with the aggravating circumstance of the legacy of apartheid, which the paper explores in detail using the example of Cape Town. In order to give suggestions for the improvement of South African cities, urban spatial theories are described and examples of cities that developed based at least partly on those theories are given. However, European experiences have shown that settlement planning, even based on successful theories such as the corridor or the compact city approach, is not enough. There is a need for integrated settlement and transport planning. South Africa should investigate which additional integrated settlement and transport-planning policies should be put in place to improve the cities and to make them more equitable and sustainable.

text: Stripped down from a car-crime game into a bizarre action-strategy hybrid, The Godfather: Mob Wars actually works pretty well, provided you're not expecting much exploration or any driving. If you've already played through any of the console versions, though, the repeated missions and cutscenes are guaranteed to get tedious. But if you haven't - or if the GTA -clone approach of the original turned you off - then this is worth a look as one of the prettier, more playable PS2-to-PSP adaptations on the market.

Designed for Success, Part 1
By: Annet King
Posted: June 23, 2008, from the May 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Suppose you're sitting in an empty room in your skin treatment center, in your spa or at home. The fact of the matter is—the room is not really empty. Even a seemingly vacant, still room is boiling over with energy and molecular interactions.
If you're a student of feng shui, these interactions may be understood by considering the north/south/east/west position; when the structure was built; and the presence of certain materials, such as wood, metal and water, as well as many other factors. Even if this is not within your frame of reference, the dimensions and design of a room, as well as color, light, noise level and a myriad of other sensory variables, all contribute profoundly to how you feel when you're in the space. Realizing that every aspect of a room—perhaps even the unseen ones—shapes its "personality" is the first essential step toward creating a productive, effective skin care center or spa.
Take the spa challenge
Most businesses require the creation and maintenance of a consistent professional aura. A financial planner's office environment, for example, must convey order, control and trust. A relentlessly hip dress studio needs to ensure that its racks are draped with the most coveted frocks on the planet, setting trends at the speed of a mouse click. In other words, most businesses have a single branding mission, and they focus on carrying it out consistently for maximum success.
By contrast, a spa faces a very different challenge because the environment is not generally one-dimensional, such as the previous examples. Typically, you must design two very different areas within a spa business—a treatment environment and a retail environment. These consist of two radically different experiences under a single roof. Too often, spas concentrate only on creating relaxation, which is only half of the equation. The other half that generally is missing is a strong emphasis on sales.
A treatment area is all about nurturing the client. The qualities that commonly are associated with this experience include the following.

Experience: any.
Set up: three goals are evenly spaced around the edge of a circular playing area.
The size of the playing area depends on the age and experience of your players. For players up to the age of about eight, I suggest the circle is about 25 yards across.
Divide your squad into three teams.
How to play: each team defends one of the goals and attacks the other two.
Each team starts with five lives. Every time they concede a goal they lose a life. When they get to zero, they are out.
Alternatively, the team that loses all its lives first can join forces with one of the other teams.
Key soccer coaching points: making the goals big and playing with no goalkeepers encourages quick shooting.
If you allow the first team that is knocked out to combine with one of the remaining teams, you will see how your players cope in outnumbered situations.

06/27/2012, Chaguaramas Bay, Trinidad
Who is this Skylark imposter? A power boat? For sale? Let's hope the new owners change the name and not go "skylarking" through these parts.
06/24/2012, Chaguaramas Bay, Trinidad
Lat/Lon is updated for those interested.
We are settled in at our slip at Coral Cove Marina in Chaguaramas Bay, Trinidad. It's a bit surreal being here. We are in the northwest part of the country, not too far from the major city of Port of Spain. Although Luna will be limited to the marina, we'll have access to lots of places. There's a good bus system here and I'll be able to do some shopping on my own. The buses are similar to other West Indian buses, or vans, typically there's nothing written on them but if you're on the side of the road and stick your hand out, they'll stop for you. Ask the driver if they're going where you want to go and if so, climb on board. If someone asks you how many people can fit on a maxi taxi in the Caribbean, the answer is "One more". They pile in. The fare is dirt cheap but you pay again every time you get off and on. Usually it's the equivalent of $1.50 US one way. When you want to stop, in other Islands you just say "Driver, stop here". But in Trini we understand there's a button you push to exit when you want to be let off.
On our dock, we are surrounded by an English family who have been cruising for 5 years, a New Zealand couple, several Americans, a S. African couple who have also been out for many years who we met in Bequia, a couple from Canada (though the husband is Brazilian) and we understand an Aussie is around here somewhere. We said goodbye to our Polish friends who leave for Poland tomorrow and are nearby on the hard (their boat is on stilts and out of the water), and I feel certain there are other interesting people we've yet to meet. Everyone we've met thus far has been great. Our friends on Just Imagine and Miclo III are at different marinas but not too far and within dinghy or walking distance. In this photo, Skylark is toward the end, 2nd to last one.
06/24/2012, Approaching Trinidad
This is a shot of Miclo III as we got to Trinidad, immediately before Luna so rudely chased the dolphins away. One bark! That's all it took for them to sciddadle. But back to Miclo III, she is a fine looking sailing vessel. She is motor sailing into 22kts of wind through Boca de Monos, as are we (obviously since we're taking the photo). That's Monos Island on the far side of Miclo III.
06/24/2012, Approaching Trinidad
Our nighttime sailing was in 15 kts, with an easterly breeze and slight seas. The stars were magnificent. While Ed rested, I watched Neptune and Venus rising up from the horizon, one on top of the other. Magnificent. I also saw what must have been some sort of satellite moving across the sky. It wasn't a plane, so that's all I can figure. As the morning sun rose, it was chased away soon enough by our first set of squalls. The clouds kept building about 5 miles north of the Hibiscus oil rig field and the squall turned out to be a large weather system that kept the wind on our nose, with a strong southwest current pushing us off course several times. None of this was predicted, nor expected. Approaching Trinidad, a pod of very large dolphins sent out a welcoming committee. I was psyched, as I always am when the dolphins swim at our bow, but good ole' Luna, dog that she is, barked once to say, "Get outta here, this is my boat!" and off they went to greener pastures. I have to teach her better manners when it comes to dolphins. For a non-barking dog, she doesn't hesitate to make it known to men in dreadlocks and dolphins that they are not welcomed on Skylark. Does she ask us how we feel about these visitors? Does she care?

Business Cards for Bloggers
I often have a hard time answering the question, "What do you do?"
I do many things. And I love the things I do. I primarily stay home with my kids. However, I also blog, I design sewing patterns for my own label, I run a currated pattern shop, I design for Pattern Anthology… But to the average person, none of those answers make much sense. If I share any of those answers I usually hear either, "oh how fun" or "how did you start doing that?" And usually theirs an air of confusion. But, those are the things I do.
And so I had a difficult time with my recent business cards. How does one put all that on a card?

How not to name your blog
It's no secret, The Train To Crazy is the catchiest, weirdest blog name you've seen lately. Am I right? I named it on a whim 6 years ago when I thought the only people who would be reading it would be my mom and dad. (hi Dad). Well, things change and it morphed and grew out of the little family blog it was into something totally different and great. Over time I've cringed at the name more than a few times but let me tell you something you already know. It is really hard to get off the train to crazy. Am I right?

Do any of you grow dutch iris for your bouquets?. I planted these last fall and have harvested my first flowers, beautiful, but I wanted to know if these will perennialiize after I have cut them. I couldnt leave much leaf on the stems due to length requirements and when I bought the bulbs the company told me that I should treat them as annuals and call it good, but I have subsequently read that they will perennialize. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Kat |
Follow-Up Postings:
What size were your bulbs and what variety / ies did you grow. Some are shorter than others and the smaller sized bulbs do not produce the same sized flowers as a larger one. If you were able to leave a couple of leaves there's a chance they'll bloom again for next year. Normally when I harvest, instead of cutting,I pull the flower, bulb and all. At 10 cents a bulb or so, it's easier to replant several thousand every year than hope they'll come back the following year. Kim - BFFF |

Hi Kim, thanks for the response. I have no idea what the variety was, it was a mix of the dark blue, pale blue, bright yellow and white and they were pretty big, mostly. Where do you get your bulbs? Thanks, Kat |

No reason why a tiff should upload any differently from any other file type. The only difference from gif, jpg, and png is that as far as the web is concerned a tif file is not an image format as the web only recognises 3 formats for images.

You would need to post your code (the form and the php form processing code) to get any specific help with it. Also tell us the file size of the file you are trying to upload.
TIFF files are typically very large. You are either running up against a file size constraint (either with the PHP settings or specific checking your code is doing), a file type check in your code that does not allow tiff, or a problem with a file type check in your code (the "type" data that the browser provides is different then what your code expects.)
If the file size is greater than the POST_MAX_SIZE setting, the $_FILES array will be empty ( isset($_FILES) will be false). The error checking, error reporting, and error recovery in your code should be testing for this. Also, the $_FILES['...']['error'] element indicates if an upload was successful or if it failed due to one of about 7 or 8 error conditions that your error checking, error reporting, and error recovery code should be testing before attempting to process the uploaded file.
If you are learning PHP, developing PHP code, or debugging PHP code, do yourself a favor and check your web server log for errors and/or turn on full PHP error reporting in php.ini or in a .htaccess file to get PHP to help you.

Meet PlainJoe
Jan 8, 2014 4:12 PM, By Cynthia Wisehart • Photos by Edward McGowan
A design studio changes the equation for churches
Since PlainJoe started 12 years ago, the studio has done brand development, and website, print, and environmental design for dozens of churches and ministries at all budget levels including Indiana's Granger Community Church; Hollywood's Oasis Church; First Christian Church in Huntington Beach, Calif.; Renaissance Church in Summit, N.J.; Elevation Church in Matthews, N.C.; Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas; Central Christian Church in Beloit, Wis.; and Crossroads Church in Corona (where Peter McGowan is an elder), among many others.
Many of these bold designs are intended to speak to young churchgoers, and to ministries that are trying to revolutionize communication and/or make people more welcome. Comfortable, engaging environments and bold wayfinding elements give these unique church designs a powerful sense of place. In one striking example, Manchester Christian Church in New Hampshire transformed from traditional forward-facing, straight-rows-of-chairs worship to a modern media lounge with conversation clusters, big video screens, mood lighting, and a warm complex color palette of rich burnt oranges, yellows, and moss green. Like many of the PlainJoe projects, Manchester Christian also features whimsical children's spaces and graphics. "There are pastors who are willing to take a risk and get away from the corporate commodity church," Peter McGowan says.
Shortly after starting PlainJoe, Peter's brother Mel went on to found Visioneering Studios, applying his Disney background and his master's degree in urban planning to large-scale secular projects throughout the world—and to transforming worship buildings. Visioneering was supported by the Provision Ministry Group, which provides financial resources, management and investment, church loans, new church planning, real estate services, construction consultation, master planning, and church site design. Provision wanted to see churches get better aesthetic results from money spent on new and redesigned buildings. In 11 years, Visioneering Studios has grown to be one of the most honored church architects in the country. The company's architectural evangelism seeks to "peel away the traditional layers of church design that scare people away," says Mel McGowan. The Visioneering designs reflect some of the same ethos seen in PlainJoe's work—modern and inviting, whimsical, creative, and absolutely outside the box.
Meanwhile, back at PlainJoe, Environmental Design Director Michael Melilli is telling me that he plans to continue increasing the opportunity for AV in PlainJoe's designs. At the moment he's sharing his workspace with a couple of Dell short-throw projectors and a screen for a projection mapping mockup he's working on. A former intern at The Jim Henson Company and a veteran of reality TV postproduction, Melilli likes the way AV allows a space to change without the mechanical process of refabricating scenic elements. For his colleagues in the graphic design department, moving graphics are becoming more important and the crossover into environmental design seems a natural evolution.
As it is now, PlainJoe will specify AV as part of an environmental design and then work with local integrators on the execution. Or a church may have PlainJoe do the environmental design and separately contract the AV. In some cases, PlainJoe has designed and fabricated elaborate themed finishes for AV elements. One thing is certain, whatever PlainJoe does with AV, they will do it with a twist.

For No Reason
This is a strange story.
A West Virginia man is hitchhiking across the country seeking answers.
So far he's made it to Montana was injured in a seemingly random drive-by shooting.
Ray Dolin, 39, was shot in the arm as he approached a pickup Saturday evening, thinking the driver was offering him a ride.
The freelance photographer looks like he's gonna be okay.
The police say "He (Ray) was sitting down to have a little lunch and this guy drives up. He thought he was going to give him a ride and as he approached the vehicle, the guy pulls out his weapon and shoots him. It's as simple as that,".
- HERE'S THE CRAZY PART…HE WAS WALKING ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO GATHER MATERIAL FOR A BOOK HE IS WRITING: a memoir about kindness!!!
- Dolin had told sheriff's officials that he was writing a memoir titled "Kindness in America." His father, Melvin Dolin, in Julian, W. Va., declined to speak about his son's plans, saying he had been working on his photography.

At Interbike, the question I'm invariably asked by everyone — besides, "Do you think my boss has to hear about this?" — is "What's the coolest thing you've seen?" I'm not going to Interbike this year, because after twenty years in cycling journalism I deserve something for my trouble, so I'm going to answer the question right now.
The coolest thing at cycling's annual trade show is going to be a book called "The Jersey Project."
The premise of this $28, coffee-table-worthy photo book is simple: Pictures of jerseys. The pay-off is boundless. The thick, four-color pages show from one to 12 jerseys each, some of them captioned with the name of the rider who wore the specific jersey photographed, some merely identified by team and nationality. Throughout, there are larger write-ups on significant riders. Some of the spotlights fall on stars you'd justifiably expect, such as Fausto Coppi or Raymond Poulidor, but some of the most satisfying finds are things like the full-page write-up on Herman Vanspringel's 1968 Mann-Grundig jersey, or Gerben Karsten's 1965 Televizier jersey — and the stories behind them.
Leafing through, for hours, I was delighted by surprises such as Greg LeMond's La Vie Claire combine jersey from the Tour de France, which incorporated fields of polka dot, green and yellow into the iconic Mondrian-inspired design, making one of the all-time greatest team jerseys even more amazing. Until prompted by the photo, I'd forgotten that the Tour used to award the combine (determined by tallying the results in all three disciplines).
From the Ruffles (potato chip) Tour of Texas, to the evocatively named teams Locomotief (1950s) and Gazelle (1980s), to the puzzling rainbow-goose-egg logo of Dutch Zero Boys and more, I keep finding new favorites. Disco-pop colors and Euro-trash aesthetic reign supreme on some pages, while others are nearly solemn and museum-like.
The book is an American adaptation of a Dutch collection, titled "Koerstrui," that former American pro Bill Humphreys was shown by a friend in 2010. Inspired, Humphreys not only bought the North American rights to the book, but also began soliciting entries from his old racing friends and contacts. The result is a new, 52-page section focusing on American history that precedes the original content. The U.S. section is divided into short chapters with titles such as "Club Jerseys," "Regional Club Sponsorships," and "Wool Shorts, Iron Will," that also serve as a short history of domestic cycling since the '60s. There's John Allis's Princeton jersey, Steve Woznick's Paris-Sport (which sent me into my basement closets in a futile search for the one I, apparently once, used to own), Mark Whitehead's AMF, the Centurion-Shimano from Bunki Bankaitus.
There's nothing else quite like this book. Its purity of purpose — to concentrate on showing jerseys — would not have been achievable if the idea had been seized by a focus-grouped, consumer-pre-publication-testing big-time publisher. Nor would its eccentricity, a large part of its appeal, have survived. The selections are in no way representative of the cycling world or accepted history, nor do they seem balanced or in any way targeted solely to achieve widespread popular interest. The index — organized by rider name instead of team name — can be maddening. Yet, failing to find the team you wanted sends you scrambling through the pages all over again. This is a quirky, amazing book that exudes the kind of fetishistic love of the sport that turns some of us into lifelong cyclists. I keep picking it up, riffling through it, Googling the names, laughing, rethinking history, finding new favorites.
And by the way, if you wanted to keep your job, you never should have gone to the Double Down.

According to a new study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, people who are very active on Twitter are more likely to be involved in intense confrontations in their relationships — the kind that are catalysts for things like cheating, breakups and divorce. At least, that's what the evidence points to, but I'd take it with a grain of salt.
The study surveyed 581 Twitter users and measured their "active Twitter use" by asking them how frequently they log into the site and tweet, reply to tweets, use direct messaging, and scroll through their timeline. Participants were also asked if their Twitter use ever sparked conflict with current or former significant others. The more often a person was considered an active Twitter user, the more likely they were to have Twitter-related disagreements with their partner,"which then significantly predicted negative relationship outcomes such as cheating, breakup, and divorce."

Tech execs hit out at PM's visa stance
PUBLISHED: 14 Mar 2013 16:27:00 | UPDATED: 15 Mar 2013 07:08:48PUBLISHED: 14 Mar 2013 PRINT EDITION: 15 Mar 2013Some in the technology industry believe Prime Minister Julia Gillard is unfairly singling them out for criticism over 457 visa use, in order to impress Western Sydney voters. Photo: Michele Mossop

Mike Cannon-Brookes took to Twitter to blast the Prime Minister's speech Tamara Vononski
Leading figures from the technology and start-up community have blasted Prime Minister Julia Gillard's stance on 457 visas, saying the sector is suffering a shortage of vital skills and will be hampered by tightened rules.
They accused her of ignoring the growing shortage of skills and playing up the perception that 457 visas were a problem for voters in western Sydney.
Ms Gillard raised the problem of excessive 457 visas in the tech sector in a speech to the ACTU job summit on Thursday.
However, co-founder of tech success story Atlassian, Mike Cannon-Brookes, questioned how Ms Gillard could claim the country did not need to import skilled workers on the same day that she was trumpeting record lows in Australian unemployment levels.
"Just outraged at the insanity of Julia Gillard complaining about 457s in IT being bad for the economy," Mr Cannon-Brookes said on Twitter.
"How can you say IT is the future of the country, then complain when we import skilled labour to help us?"
The jobless rate is 5.4 per cent, but statistics compiled by the Australian Computer Society at the end of last year showed unemployment across a range of IT-related occupations was 2.2 per cent.
Mr Cannon-Brookes said there was an apparent contradiction in the government's stance, given that the national broadband network rollout was reliant on 457 workers .
An NBN Co spokeswoman said the company complied with government rules on 457 visas, and had a relatively low number of staff on such visas.
"Less than 2 per cent of our employees are on 457 visas, and around half of those were already in Australia working for other companies when they joined NBN Co," she said. Immigration adviser to the Information Technology Contract & Recruitment Association, Alan Chanesman, accused Ms Gillard of "selectively highlighting" high numbers of 457 visa IT workers in NSW, which he said were not surprising due to the concentration of IT companies in Sydney.
He said that, along with engineering, IT occupations were the only job category that had driven up wages for other Australian workers, and tighter 457 requirements would make some local projects unviable.
"If the government changed or increased the setting ... and makes them tougher, then there is no question that local projects will just go offshore. That would obviously have a compound effect on the economy," he said.
Leading technology executive search specialist Paul Rush of Robertson Search, said the government was failing to recognise the global nature of the technology industry.
"We have to ... acknowledge that ... the demand for IT professionals as we move into the digital economy is of course going to increase and outstrip supply. Therefore we will see a greater demand for non-Australians."
Chief executive of peak technology industry body the Australian Information Industry Association, Suzanne Campbell, said she agreed the visas were not the long-term solution to skills shortages but imposing restrictions would do more harm than good.

At the root of my practice is the principle that all aspects of a human being are interconnected: the mental, emotional, physical aspects as well as the relation to the environment. Besides the pervasive benefits of massage, from deep relaxation to the relief of specific problems such as the classical computing neck & shoulder pain, general health improvement and clear thinking, massage can help to reconnect with ones sense of presence, of being here and now, which underlies all other experiences. For pregnant women it can be a great ally through the transformations taking place.

A new study by Moody's, an economic consulting firm, is getting some attention on USAToday.com. While the 2009 forecast for the US shows a drop of 3.3%, it projects gains for 2010-2012 across all job sectors--even the sluggish manufacturing industry.
In the meantime, what does 2009 hold for individual states? Everyone loses.
In terms of total jobs, Washington DC tops the list with only a 0.8% drop--largely insulated from the recession thanks to the large number of government jobs. Not surprisingly, Michigan--home of the battered auto industry--takes the biggest hit at -5.8%.

When you order Toyota Landcruiser parts from us, we will ship it from the closest warehouse we have it in stock. We ship Toyota Landcruiser parts out of warehouses located across the country. You would be hard pressed to find any other Toyota Landcruiser parts store online that is more reasonably priced. Buy your auto parts on your schedule. We take great care to ensure you receive the right auto parts the first time. Place your next Toyota Landcruiser parts order with us. We have been servicing the online community since 1998. Our great parts and customer service keeps our customer happy and loyal.
If you've got a Toyota Landcruiser sitting in your garage, chances are pretty good you didn't buy such a vehicle on accident. Landcruisers are tough, powerful vehicles through and through: for years, they have been designed as the absolute best vehicles out there for tackling difficult terrain in all locations. When Toyota says that the Landcruiser has successfully tacked pathways from the Dead Sea to the Himalayas, they're not joking: this vehicle is packed with the kind of performance features that are necessary to keep things moving in the long term. Take, for example, a variable height control adjustment that is capable of actually raising and lowering the vehicle by a margin of 2.8 inches – giving you plenty of flexibility in terms of ground clearance. Underneath the hood, a tough VVT-iV8 engine is a clear-cut example of what makes the Landcruiser one of the premier adventure vehicles out there – period. And modern Landcruisers aren't all muscle: you'll also find included Bluetooth technology, a DVD entertainment system, and a comfy interior to make the road feel a little shorter all around.
Even the world's toughest Landcruiser, however, isn't going to last forever in pristine condition. The punishing driving conditions to which you are likely to submit your Landcruiser mean that dents and dings are inevitable. Add that in with the need to share the road with poor drivers and the fact that simply the passage of time will lead to mechanical decay, and you're in line for some major repairs at one point or another. The most important part of any repair job is definitely to get ahold of the right Toyota Landcruiser Parts in the first place. Without genuine Toyota Parts, your repairs will go nowhere. What you don't want, however, is to wind up paying through the nose for components or waiting weeks for them to arrive.
For these reasons, it can be a big help to shop for your Toyota Landcruiser Parts online at autohausaz.com. For nearly three decades, Autohaus AZ has been providing its customers (now up to hundreds of thousands worldwide), with incredible parts at incredible prices. Consider, for example, that you will find Toyota Parts in stock in Autohaus AZ's warehouse that are being sold for 20 to 90 percent below the standard list retail price. Plus, shipping is quick and reliable: most orders will ship within one business day. All told, then, it is clear that shopping for your necessary automotive components online at autohausaz.com is a smart choice – so check it out today.
Tom L. - El Paso, TX: WOW! I am really happy with my first experience with Autohaus! And I haven't even received the parts yet! Very easy to order, good prices and blazing fast shipping at reasonable rates! I will DEFINITELY be doing business with you again soon!

America's Most Romantic Hotels
Malu Alvarez
Forty 1° North, Newport, RI
Who ordered the room party? Instead of a mini-bar, there's a six-foot-long wet bar, with enough liquor bottles to slake a serious thirst. It would be easy to choose from among the monochromatic books (curiously all bound in blue), take to the big bed with its view of a spare winter waterfront, and forget why people come to Newport in warmer weather. It's almost counterintuitive in a city whose many boats burn exorbitant amounts of fossil fuels, but the contemporary Forty 1° North is impressively environmentally conscious. Newspapers are delivered via each room's iPad, and the hallway's big mirrors serve as eco-friendly message boards to announce activities such as yoga and cooking classes. Bathrooms are equipped with low-flow showerheads, chemical-free toiletries, and towels made from a superfine cotton that dries quickly, which encourages reuse rather than replacement. Okay, so the compact fluorescent bulbs require squinting to find your contact lenses, but it's a small price to pay so that the polar ice caps don't melt. The inn is only about a year old (with a staff that seems not much older). Other new kids on this block are Thames Street Kitchen and Tallulah on Thames, two restaurants with young tattooed chefs and farm-to-fork menus, but the locals line up for sweet-bread French toast at the Corner Café (made not from calf's innards but from the Portuguese version of challah). The Newport Winter Festival takes over the town from February 17 to 26, with ice sculpting, beach polo, and a chili cook-off. The International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is open year-round (the Williams sisters have nothing on Gertrude "Gorgeous Gussie" Moran, whose lace-trimmed knickers at Wimbledon prompted a debate in Parliament). If the weather is mild, you could even bundle up for the glorious Cliff Walk along the water, channeling The French Lieutenant's Woman. During the Colonial era, Newport was the world's rum capital, with more than 20 distilleries, and Coastal Extreme Brewing Company still makes Thomas Tew rum, named for a famous 17th-century pirate. If that doesn't warm you up, head for the Caribbean.
Price Tag: From $395.

I'm actually rather fond of the NHL's "History Will Be Made" marketing campaign, but even I'll admit that they occasionally jump the gun. For example:
Leaving aside, for the moment, the fact that Bieksa's actually a fairly offensive defenceman, it would be nice if the NHL waited until the round was over before lionizing players in this matter. After all, what if Bieksa had stayed at home? Would the Canucks have lost one game sooner?
Also in the 'premature' mode, this video's going to look pretty silly if Philadelphia's the team that makes history:
