If you're ready to be swept away by a reincarnation of the staple bars of Spain which serve up a storm of drinks alongside bite-sized tapas, a visit to Naked for Satan's a must. I venture here on a weeknight to whittle the evening away with a delicious selection of pintxos.
The interior itself is quite stunning, with high ceilings, rows of alcohol stacked to the top, and brassy, old distillation equipment featuring as the center piece at the entrance. Pretty chandelier-like lights hang from the ceiling, adding to the dimly-lit and relaxed atmosphere.
Foodwise, Naked for Satan offers both pintxos and more substantial meals (located upstairs). The pintxos are cheap (only $1 on weeknights), and are the perfect accompaniment to alcoholic beverages. Eating on ground level is a self-service affair: the pintxos are located at the bar on large plates – grab a plate, grab a couple of pintxos, and keep your toothpicks. When you're done, bring your toothpicks to the bartender and pay. Easy!
Chorizo croquette (tortilla and tuna in the background)
My favourite handsdown is the chorizo croquette – the filling is so smooth and creamy, with sparks of chorizo strewn throughout. Could have happily eaten this one alone and not touched the rest.Bacon and potato, tortilla with aioli
Whilst I wasn't particularly a fan of the bacon pintxo, the tortilla was another winner. Tasting like quiche and with slices of onion throughout, it was both filling and tasty.Spicy lamb meatballs
I also loved the meatball – served hot out of the kitchen, it wasn't actually spicy but the lamb itself was tender with a delicious tomato sauce.Cauliflower, Manouri Cheese & Garlic Prawn
The rest weren't particularly special, and in fact quite bland. Actually, I believe that the 'hot' pintxos (i.e. those that the waiter/waitress brings out while you're dining) substantially outperform the 'cold' pintxos (those that are already located on the counter). It's worth only taking a few cold ones from the counter and then waiting for the freshly made ones to come out.Chorizo with cream cheese and green chilli, smoked salmon
For a quick dinner, Naked for Satan was cheap – between two, it came to about $10, and I was completely stuffed by the end of it. I'd love to come back another day and try Naked in the Sky, which is located on the partially covered rooftop above. Naked for Satan Location: 285 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065 Contact: 03 9416 2238 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com BABA BUDAN
I also made it to Brother Baba Budan in the CBD for a quick coffee. Brother Baba Budan is a tiny coffee joint in Little Bourke Street, which has a roaring trade of city dwellers and workers alike.Latte ($4)
Focusing solely on delivering coffee, the joint serves up the same roast as Seven Seeds, though without the difficulty of having to travel all the way up to the main joint near Melbourne University. It's quick service with a quirky fit out, and the same, delicious coffee. Brother Baba Budan Location: 359 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC Contact: (03) 9606 0449 Opening hours: Monday – Saturday: 7am-5pm ; Sunday: 9am-5pm

Following its success at Kingston Hospital, Momentum is fundraising to support children with cancer at St George's Hospital.
Momentum was set up in 2004 by parents of children undergoing treatment for cancer, with the simple goal of trying to help others in similar circumstances. It supports families affected by cancer in the following ways:
- Through the provision of equipment and the improvement of the facilities in local hospitals, where children undergoing cancer treatment will typically spend prolonged periods.
- By organising events at which children with cancer and their siblings have the opportunity to meet with other children who share their circumstances.
- By offering mutual support for parents and families.
Our partnership with Momentum is in its early stages and we are pleased to have made a number of referrals to their family support service. We look forward to our partnership growing over the coming year.
You can contact Momentum direct on email at email@example.com, or by telephone on 020 8974 5931. Their offices are at 75 Park Road, Kingston upon Thames, KT2 6DE
You can also find out more about Momentum by visiting their website – www.moment-um.org

Global Education Office
William & Mary has the highest percentage of undergraduates who participate in study abroad programs compared to any other public university in the United States. |
Going global isn't just something we talk about at William & Mary; it's something we live every day by making it possible for students to see the world through study abroad.
Whether tracing the rise of Peter the Great in Russia's "Crown Jewel," St. Petersburg, witnessing globalization in action in Goa, India, or mastering Mandarin in Beijing, China, students' studies come alive when the world is their classroom.
Study abroad enhances on-campus coursework, improves language skills, develops new intellectual interests, challenges assumptions about one's own and foreign cultures, and builds cross-cultural skills of value to future employers.
With our 30+ W&M-sponsored programs in 23 countries, and hundreds of additional programs from which students can choose, the opportunities for education abroad are nearly endless. Search for a program in our study abroad portal today!{{youtube:medium:center|qv4t5ujKGYs}}

So I am installing a new gas range and trying to change the gas and electrical connections to fit this new model. We are on a slab, so the gas line runs down the wall behind the range. The specs call for the gas line to be no higher than 2 inches off the floor. There is a metal bracket that runs all along the back of the range and they want the gas line to go below this bracket. Problem is, the gas fitting alone is 2 inches high! Even if we cut the 2 x 4 plate that runs along the floor behind the drywall down to the ground and ran the gas line so it sat directly on the floor, there is no room to actually turn the fitting to make it tight in the pipe. If we left room for that, we'd be above the 2 inches! So anyway, above this metal bracket there is a generous opening that the gas fitting would fit into just fine. Since this opening is much more accomodating, is there any reason we couldn't run the gas line out in that area? I just can't figure out why the specs are so specific to that one small area, when there is so much more room elsewhere. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My guess is that they want the gas line under the range so the shut off is acessible. I'd contact the mfgr and ask them why. |
We installed an elbow in the gas line so the fitting/shut-off would be paralell to the floor. Here's a mid-construction shot. The gas line is along the back wall. |
With gas, never a thing as a dumb question. |

Thank you, Whit461. :-) Will TV ... even as low as your gas line is, it is still too tall to fit in the "required" space for my range. I called the manufacturer today and explained the problem that the valve was too big to fit underneath the 2 inch space. The rep said that only the gas pipe should come out there, and that the shut off valve shouldn't be located behind the range. That's news to me, as every house I have ever lived in had the shut off valve behind the stove. Plus, my gasline was installed by a licensed plumber and passed inspection without issue. When I asked where the shut off was supposed to go if not behind the stove, he said it should go in an adjacent cabinet. My gas line runs down the wall directly behind the edge of my cabinet run, so that's not going to help me. I'm thinking now to put the shut off valve in a recessed box behind the range and then feed the flex line into the larger recessed area behind the stove. Any reason that won't work? |
With the range top removed, is the gas line connection visible. You might be able to install the gas valve where it enters the range. Another words, gas line comes up wall, 90 degree ell, gas valve, union to range. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 13 at 18:40
The gas line connect on the range is near the bottom, on the opposide side of where the gas line comes out now. We were going to use flex line to reach it. DH has nixed the idea of the recessed box. |
What size pipe are you using? I was able to install one that was within 2" from the floor. I went through the wall with an elbow, then had a short nipple with a second elbow to go parallel to the wall. Try going to a home store and find the lowest profile valve. Another option may be to put the valve in an adjacent canine I recall some posts that mention that approach. |
> put the valve in an adjacent canine I think the SPCA would have something to say about that! :-) |
Our plumber built a recessed box out of sheet metal directly behind the range and put the shutoff valve in there. Then ran flex tube to the range. If I'm not mistaken you are going to need flex pipe no matter what you do, otherwise how would you both install or be able to access behind the range without flex pipe? I don't have a pic of what our plumber did, but it is similar to this: He wanted to put the shut-off in the adjacent cabinet but I didn't want it taking up space. As a compromise, he agreed to put a second shutoff upstream in our utility room which is more accessible than having to slide out the entire stove. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 15:19
dont' quote me, but there are some newer codes that talk about 'accessability' of the valve such that putting it into an adjacent cabinet makes the most sense. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 15:36
It is not feasible to put the shut off valve in an adjacent cabinet. The gas line runs down the wall directly behind the end run of a DRAWER cabinet, then corners to come out behind the range. The exisiting line that comes out behind the range was installed by a licenced plumber and was inspected and passed by the city. It is up to code having the shut off valve behind the range, as sliding out the range to access the shut off valve is considered "accessible." Regardless, the shut off valve to the main gas supply to my house is directly outside the kitchen door, just a few steps away from the range, so shutting it off outside in an emergency is easy enough. Takkone, that recessessed box set up is what I was pushing for, but the idea was nixed by my DH who decided it was overkill for our situtation. There is a large recessed panel in the back of the range, and we have decided to raise the shut off valve a few inches to where it will slide into that area when the stove is pushed in. |

Looks like things aren't flowing too smoothly for Flo Rida.
The "Wild Ones" artist is caught up in a spiralling web of legal woes that seem to get more tangled every day. If you haven't already heard, the rapper is currently being sued by a former assistant who claims the singer duped her out of a proper paycheque. Earlier this month, TMZ reported that Mahogany Miller was suing Flo Rida for making her work long, 65-hour workweeks at only $3.08 per hour to be his administrative assistant.
Yes, you read right: only $3.08 per hour. If this is true, we can't help but wonder how much Flo Rida makes for his performances.
Regardless, the lawsuit is ongoing, and while the muscular 32-year-old singer was probably hoping to not pay anything when it comes to this case, he is now being charged for lying to the judge about being served the suit.
According to the entertainment website, Flo apparently told the judge the papers went to someone else named Stephany Nelson, and that was why he didn't respond to the suit. However, the judge found out Flo lied and that Stephany actually works for him, which angered the judge and which is now costing Flo $7,000 in attorney fees for Mahogany's lawyers.
That was probably not the outcome Flo was hoping for, and we recommend he only tells the truth from now on — or it will cost him even more.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dakota-2!
Facts about Dakota-2
- Breed: Beagle
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Dakota-2
Dakota-2's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This 1 year old boy is a beautiful red and white beagle whose life got a very bad start. You see, he was used as bait in a fighting operation in West Virginia. The fact that he made it out alive is a miracle and only because an eye witness beckoned the authorities who immediately confiscated him. He was severely injured with bite wounds over much of his body. We have many pictures of him after the multiple surgeries it took to put him back together. The good news is that he is a very sweet dog who actually gets along great with other dogs…..unless they look like a wolf. The fighting dogs were wolf hybrids.
Dakota's abusers were prosecuted in court and he was released to our organization. As soon as his wounds were all healed up, we brought him via airline to Portland, where he is thriving in a wonderful foster home. Dakota-2 is an energetic guy who is also a cuddle bug. He is playful and quick, but he's also happy to curl up with you and watch a movie by your side. He has a typical beagle appetite and loves treats.
Other Pets at Cascade Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dakota-2, a Portland Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Portland, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Portland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to repeal the state's anti-gay adoption ban March 18. In the late 1980s the New Hampshire legislature passed a law banning gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people from becoming adoptive or foster parents. Two separate votes were taken today - one of the foster care ban and one on the adoption band. Both times, the House voted overwhelmingly to repeal the ban. The repeal bill now moves to the state Senate, where its prospects are good.
New Hampshire is currently one of two states with laws preventing adoption because of a prospective parent's sexual orientation. Florida passed an adoption ban in 1977. This year, state agencies in Arkansas and Utah approved regulations to prevent gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people from becoming foster or parents, respectively. Similar anti-gay legislation has been introduced this year in Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Arizona.
The following is a statement from National Gay and Lesbian Task Force field organizer Sue Hyde. Hyde, who lives in Boston, is also the parent of two children.
Let the word go forth from Concord: sexual orientation prejudice and discrimination is not in the best interests of children. Kids need love not bigotry.
Today's historic vote by the New Hampshire House of Representatives to repeal the state's anti-children and anti-gay adoption/foster care law is a new high water mark for gay and lesbian people in New Hampshire and the nation. In a number of other states, legislators are considering bans similar to the one just rejected by the New Hampshire House.
This law was adopted in 1987, following a two-year struggle in Massachusetts to rescind a similar statewide policy. It codified the most hurtful myth about gay and lesbian people: that our sexual orientation makes us bad parents. Today's victory in the House firmly rejects that old and outdated idea for New Hampshire and the nation.
Today's action in New Hampshire comes days before the kickoff of an historic, first-ever campaign of actions in all 50 states for equality. Called Equality Begins at Home, the campaign is the largest grassroots political action in the history of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender movement. Activists in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have organized more than 350 events to address issues of anti-gay discrimination, violence, and prejudice. Equality Begins at Home is coordinated by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and organized by the Federation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Political Organizations.

Three Family Members Sentenced For Cocaine Charges
Orlando, Florida - U.S. District Judge Gregory A. Presnell sentenced Maxine Miller (44, Orlando), Martovous Oliver (35, St. Petersburg), and Cornelius McKenzie (33, St. Petersburg) for conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. Miller was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison. Oliver and McKenzie were each sentenced to 12 years and six months in federal prison. All three pleaded guilty on July 23, 2012.
According to court documents, on May 3, 2012, Miller called a DEA confidential source (CS) to see if the CS could supply her with one kilogram of cocaine. Miller told the CS that her nephews, McKenzie and Oliver, were in Orlando, from St. Petersburg, and wanted to buy a kilogram of cocaine for $28,000. The following day, Miller, McKenzie, and Oliver went to the Altamonte Mall parking lot to purchase the drugs. After the CS got into Miller's vehicle, McKenzie removed a small bag from his pocket and showed the CS that it contained money. Soon thereafter, Miller, McKenzie, and Oliver were arrested. The bag containing $11,670.00 was subsequently recovered from the car.
Both McKenzie and Oliver have prior multiple felony convictions for sale of cocaine and other offenses in the State of Florida. These convictions classified them both as career offenders.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christopher LaForgia.

MyDroidWorld founder p3droid is reporting that he has obtained an official Google update of Android 2.2 dubbed FRF84B. The version proximity to the Nexus One's official Froyo update (FRF85B) is certainly uncanny. Based on the large file size, it appears to be a full ROM. Unfortunately, no official Google link for the client is available, only p3droid's rooted (read: now technically unofficial) version. The update comes with superuser permissions for root only apps, as well.
Nexus One users had their taste of Froyo already (check out what Froyo is all about for more info) and now Motorola Droid owners can get a piece of the pie too, courtesy of My Droid World!
Unfortunately, the update comes at a price, as there's no Wi-Fi support in the current build. The reason for this is because the original kernel has been replaced to protect the identity of the source.
I've been using Android 2.2 (codenamed 'Froyo') on my Nexus One for a while now, and it's packed with lots of additions and tweaks that make it the best version of Android to date. Although we've since been informed that the leaked version of Froyo is in fact a release candidate, and not a final release version, I've found it to be perfectly stable, and haven't had any issues with it after constant use for the past two weeks.
Today is Day Two of the Google I/O 2010 conference, and the Android universe is celebrating and rioting in the streets (in a good way - like Mardi Gras). In addition to speed (2x-5x faster than Eclair), support for Flash Player 10.1 Public Beta/AIR Developer Pre-Release, and native tethering/ hotspot support, there are a number of changes that will make your Android life easier.
Utilizing SD cards for the storage of apps has undoubtedly been one of the biggest feature requests of Android since the G1 was released, with users being limited to the internal storage capacity of their devices to install applications on. Fortunately, Google have finally addressed the issue, and an update may not be too far away.
A post on Issue 1151 yesterday by a Google representative confirmed that the feature was 'coming soon' to Android devices, although no exact information was divulged at the time.
I am not one to usually fall into the rumor mill and believe all the rumors that tend to circulate regarding anything Android related but this particular item seems very believable, especially considering it comes with some pretty realistic screenshots.
What am I referring to? I'm talking about one of the features so many people have been asking for since Android 1.5 was released - either automatic application updating or at least batch application update or both, and it looks like the former is on its way with the upcoming Android 2.2 update.

All, I'm looking to replace a single unit drop-in (combination oven/stove top) with separate stove top and oven (in the same location). Right now, the unit has a single 60amp circuit running to it. Is there a way, or is it code, to basically branch this wiring to the two separate units, or daisy chain them somehow? Maybe just terminate the circuit into an electrical box in the space, then have wires run to the stove top out of the box, and then others to the oven? I would rather not run a new circuit, but if I have to, then no huge deal... since the current combo unit runs off the existing 60 amps, I would think two separate units would just as easily run off 60 amps... it's just a matter of how the wiring works. Thoughts? |

The easiest way may be to drop the breaker to 50A and then tap off two 20A or larger conductors: The other way would be to install a small subpanel and use the stove circuit as a feeder (if it is a 4 wire hookup). |
I'll second Ron on using the branch circuit tap rules- changing your existing circuit should be relatively quick and easy. Just remember that any splices/taps have to be made inside an accessible box- do not bury them in the wall. Good luck with your project- Mike |
"shall be sufficient for the load to be served." This sets the size of the taps. It NOT a permission to use 20 amp conductors to supply a greater than 20 amp load. |
Sort of in the same boat. The simplified electrical code book i got (Canadian) says a cook top and oven shall be considered as one appliance....but also says one appliance can only have one point of connection to the supply. So you have to daisy chain it, at least here. It says the the distance of the junction in the tapped line can be not more than 25 feet with #10 wire. There is an exception in that if it needs over 25' it can be but the cable must be the same size as the main supply cable and that in most cases this is #8 wire. My issue is what happens if i want 2 ovens? does that still count as one appliance? how about 3? 4? At what point do i need to drop to a #6 wire? |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 8:13
Check your oven installation instructions. Almost every dual oven I've seen is really only one device (only gets one connection). |
This post was edited by ronnatalie on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 8:14
@ronnatalie - not dual ovens, 2 ovens. |
"It says the the distance of the junction in the tapped line can be not more than 25 feet with #10 wire. " Under the NEC that would allow for 80% of a 30 amp load on those taps. I would bet the CEC is about the same. You still have to meet the demands of each device with the wires feeding the device. The tap rules allow you to use smaller than feeder size, NOT smaller than demand size. |
@brickeyee - Good distinction. Would it be better to say the tap can be 25 feet maximum at demand size for the device and that if it must be longer it needs to be the same size as the main? how do you calculate demand/wire gauge? Edit: For a range 12kw or smaller add 6000watts so a 14kw range with a 10 kw secondary should be as follows. First 12kw = 6000watts load First oven = 6800 watts I have read else where that we can only consider a 85% efficiency so that total needs to be upped to compensate for that. 9300watts x 1.25 = 11625 watts in this hypothetical scenario. This is what i get according to the numbers, but that second oven only getting 25% of its capacity bugs me. Is this because they expect you to not use both at once? Turning everything on would trip the breaker wouldn't it? All this says nothing about cable size. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Found a link about wire type/temp and size.

Last fall I had the opportunity to makeover my niece's bedroom. My sweet niece Brooke was turning fifteen and having one of those "my room's not cool" teen moments. With her parent's permission, I got to work on a surprise room redo just for her. After some pinteresting (Check out my board for Brooke's room) and covert spy operation by her sister, Ashtyn, I was able to get a design tailored just for her. Brooke loves fashion and Audrey Hepburn, so a "Breakfast At Tiffany's" inspired bedroom was the perfect fit. There were several times along the way that I thought I blew it, fishing for information and trying to ask questions without giving away the surprise was tough. Then there's my sister-in-law. Lia! You tell everything! I totally thought she would blow the surprise.
Here's what we decided:
1. A shade of "Tiffany Blue" for the wall color
2. Bright pink and black for accent colors
3. Damask prints for a "frenchy" feel
4. A new bed with lots of storage
5. A giant sofa made from a clawfoot tub (yeah, right!)
Since I missed Brooke's June Birthday, I was shooting for fall. I thought if I could have her room finished as she was going into a new school year, she would feel ready to take on her sophomore year. August was an insane month, let me tell ya. I had 30 days, start to finish, I had to be super sneaky, and figure out a time to makeover her room while she was away.
Last summer, I built myself a brand new bed.
It rocks.
I love it and I thought I would share the love too. So I planned a twin-sized version of the "Farmhouse Storage bed with Hinged Footboard" just for Brooke. It's such a simple design, I knew it would work great for a teen room, especially with all of the cubbies. It took about a week to build, I was in a hurry and didn't give as much detail to my work as I could have, but when you're on a time frame, sometimes that's what you've got to do! As long as it can hold her up and there are no stray nails hanging out, I figured we would be good, haha.
With the bed complete, I moved on to my next objective- accessories! Since I had a budget of $0.00, I did what I do best.
Thrifting! I found some cast-off items at Goodwill that could get a little makeover themselves.
First were these:
Gross, old picture frames.
They just needed a coat of black paint and some fun Audrey Hepburn quotes to a lift a girl up when she's feeling down.
I also used one and lined the canvas with a black damask fabric, and one with a bright pink paper to show off her student letter she received for Basketball (I don't know how you letter in Basketball when you are only 4' tall, but in small schools it can be done.).
Next was this chair that I found. I absolutely love how it turned out! It's got those frenchy curves that suit the style of the room and a fun fabric. The caned back was in excellent shape too, not so fun to paint though. All of those little nooks and crannies took some time.
Between the building and projects I was keeping in constant contact with my sister-in-law, Lia. Trying to plan excuses to get the kid out of the house for a few days and put the room together "Extreme Home Makeover" style was a little crazy.
I made a memo board using fabrics to go with the room.
This is an awesome idea that I found on another blog called Laura Thoughts.
It's a fabric covered magnetic board that you use for storing cosmetics. I purchased another frame at the thrift store and cut sheet metal (hardware aisle, Lowes, $10) to fit. You just hot glue magnets to the back of your makeup and they are in plain sight. What teen wouldn't want this? (apparently this teen- she has let me know that she now stores her makeup in a case, but still uses the board for photos and jewelry. Go figure.) I think I need one of these. My kids are always trying to get to my makeup, and I have it in a mini tote hanging on a nail on my bathroom wall- I know, classy. But if it is within reach, I'll be scrubbing blush out of my rugs for days. My two year old is constantly rubbing lip gloss wands over her eyelids and my four year-old begs for "sparkles." (I swear they have radar, the SECOND I go to get ready, they are in there asking for eyeshadow and blush).
Nothing greater than finding a toddler trying to give herself a "smoky eye."
I found this little plaquard/hook thingy at Goodwill too. It had one broken hook, so I got it for $.99. I removed the hooks, got out my scrapbooking supplies, and a little Mod Podge. I had no idea what I would do with it in the room, but with a little Cricut magic, I had a cool monogrammed wall hook. After I readjusted the hooks and gave it a quick clear coat of spray sealer, it was finished. My niece found an ingenious use for it. Storage for all of her hair stuff. She has a large mirrored closet, so she just sits in front of it on the floor to do her hair. This is a great idea to keep her heat tools from burning the carpet.
I searched high and low and found a great bed set from Walmart.com. I couldn't find anything locally in my price range, and Walmart had this one on sale for $60. Yay! It was just what we were looking for. I sewed a quick pillow to match the other fabrics in the room and we were ready to go.
Finally the day came. My sister-in-law calls and lets me know that Brooke will be gone for the weekend with a friend! Wouldn't you know, it's the same weekend my husband plans a draft party for his Fantasy Football league! I've got 48 hours to makeover a room, plan a party, and not lose my mind!
Two things I love to do, throw parties and decorate...just not in the same 24-hour period.
I was able to tweak my schedule and convinced myself I could pull an all-nighter, decorate the room, finish by morning, and set up the party by afternoon. Doable, right?
Well, I enlisted the help of my niece and sister-in-law. Ashtyn and Lia were painter extraordinaires. While the girls painted the bedroom, I repainted all of Brooke's furniture to match her new bed. Her desk, hutch, and dresser all got a fresh coat of white paint. The walls were painted a beautiful Tiffany Blue, or what Valspar likes to call; "Sea Wave."
We were finished by 2 am.
I went home and got some sleep! My all-nighter was unbelieveably short. I came back in the morning, we brought all of the furniture into the room, set up her things, and then I left to go set up the "Snackadium" at the Fantasy Football draft party. Done and done.
My niece came home to a new room, totally surprised. She didn't see it coming at all! So what was the first thing she did? Well, she had to call her best friend, of course...and rub it in a little.

The home I purchased had lots of bushes and ground covering plants with a soaker line with holes every 6 inches in it running throughout the backyard. I removed those bushes and planted roses, lilies,gardenias, palm trees, mandevila vines and confederate jasmine vines. Should I remove the old soaker lines and instead put a drip system that would just water to each plant specifically? Or just have the soaker lines holes so that the water would drip into the basins around the base of each plant? Does the ground near the plants need water even though nothing is growing there? Thanks again in advance to any who reply. |

serk, If you like to spend money and tinker with the system, go drip. JMHO Aloha |

I will be planting a new garden with "hot" colored flowers this year. I picked up some Crocosmia but have heard conflicting answers on Zone appropriateness. Variety name is not listed, so do I assume they must be Lucifer? That's the most common one, right? Picture is red. I have never grown these. Site will be the south side of the house so it may be warmer than my normal zone 5. |

Don't know how hardy they'll be in your neck of the woods, but if you have problems with them not coming back next year, give me a shout and I'll send you some corms. They multiply something fierce down here. Brenda |
Thanks for the offer, Brenda.I'll see first if I can grow them here with the ones I bought. I checked on Dave's garden and the facts for Lucifer (if that's what I've got) say zone 6 a. I'm zone 5 but don't know if I'm a or b. I've looked at maps and can't tell. (too bad you can't see that on Google Earth). I do hope they are hardy, as digging stuff up in fall never seems to happen. It's bad enough I buy dahlias every year. About planting: When I look at pictures I see them always in stands of many stalks. Does that mean they will look their best all planted together? Have more impact that way? Yet Dave's Garden says to plant them 15-18 apart. Surely they are talking about a clump, not individual corms? |
linnea no worries about the zone.i live just north of montreal and they come back every year..although i only had a few flowers last year,they did return..and i clumped them together for more show... cheers |

I bought 'fire king' last yr from parks. It is too early to say if it survived or not. They claim it's hardy to 5. I got some from a Seattle garden that died rather than bloom after winter so some kinds of orange( unknown kind) aren't hardy. I have also tried them bare bubl in the basement but they died that way too. Hope to see some nice lily pics from your gardens this year! |
Thanks! I remember your lilies too, cheerpeople! I planted some nice ones last fall so I am really looking forward to a great summer. And now I know how to post a picture right into a thread, too! |
If you're not sure about hardiness, you could always lift them in fall and store them over winter... or, you could plant them in a large, decorative patio pot and place the pot in the garden. Simply bring the pot in when it gets cold, and store it in the basement or frost-free garage. You can literally cram the pot full of corms, shoulder to shoulder, and make it the focal point of a garden area. I do this with a few different tender bulbs and corms. The pots make nice additions to the summer garden, and they bring the potted flowers into play as great colorful focal points. |
Lifting in fall is not going to happen. Even when I've done it (with dahlias, glads) they never made it over the winter. Also, there's too much other gardening work to do then. They were not too $$ (though I don't know really what is a good price) so I will plant them out and cross my fingers. And potted things I need to cut back on, the watering is taking too much time. But I WAS wondering if there is a hardier strain I should be looking for. Can anyone address the issue of planting the corms as cluster or spread out? |
I lived in Kansas City, zone 5b, and had to grow them in big tubs (from Walmart) - otherwise, they freeze, never to return. They will not come back in your zone. |
- Posted by mr_crocosmia2013 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 4:20
It mainly depends on the type of soil you have as to wether they survive the winter..... if they are really wet and then freeze they WILL rot. If the soil is well drained and you mulch them for the winter they usually survive. Mine have survived 15F winters with no problems. Check out my website. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Website
'Lucifer' is generally recognized as being the hardiest at present, and is usually the one seen for sale in my area. I have tried several other varieties, and while they may survive 1-3 years, they have all died eventually. The only one that didn't is 'Lucifer'. |

text: Historical Gurdwaras of Punjab dedicated to Guru Gobind Singh ji Historical Gurdwaras of Punjab Classified by Guru Guru Nanak Sahib Guru Angad Sahib Guru Amardas Sahib Guru Ramdass Sahib Guru Arjan Sahib Guru Hargobind Sahib Guru Har Rai Sahib Guru Harkrishan Sahib Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Dist. Ropar Gurdwara Parivar Vichhora, Dist. Ropar Gurdwara Garhi Sahib, Chamkaur Sahib, Dist. Ropar Gurdwara Katalgarh Sahib, Chamkaur Sahib, Dist. Ropar Gurdwara Charan Kanwal, Machhiwara, Dist. Ludhiana Gurdwara Chubara Sahib, Machhiwara, Dist. Ludhiana ...more Gurdwaras Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, Dist. Ropar This is the birthplace of the Khalsa. It was here on March 30th, 1699 that a very large gathering of Sikhs had arrived at Anandpur Sahib as per Guru Gobind Singhs instructions. After prayers Guru Gobind Singh stood up with his sword and asked the gathering of thousands, "Is there anyone here ready to lay down his life at my call? This sword of mine is crying for the blood of a dear Sikh of mine." The congregation was shocked and afraid, the third time Guru Gobind Singh repeated his call, Daya Ram stood up and offered his head. Guru Gobind Singh took him into a tent. The sound of a sword cutting a body was heard and blood trickled out of the tent. Guru Gobind Singh emerged from the tent and asked for another Sikh. Daram Das stood up and volunteered. Again the same episode was repeated. Three more Sikhs offered their heads to the Guru in the same way, Mukham Chand, Himmat Rai and Sahib Chand. After some time Guru Gobind Singh brought the five Sikhs before the congregation dressed in new clothes and revealed to the congregation that he had really slaughtered five goats inside the tent. Guru Gobind Singh then baptized them with amrit (sweetened water) stirred with his Khanda, The Guru called them his Five Beloved Ones and gave them the last name 'Singh' which means Lion. Guru Gobind Singh then humbly bowed before the Five Beloved Ones and asked them to initiate Him into the Khalsa Brotherhood. Never in history has the leader of a religion bowed down before his followers for baptism. Some of the original weapons of Guru Gobind Singh as well as the khanda (two edged sword) used by the Guru to stir the amrit (sweet water) during the Khalsa baptism ceremony are kept here. Gurdwara Parivar Vichhora, Dist. Ropar Guru Gobind Singh and 400 Sikhs left Anandpur Sahib on the cold rainy night of December 5th 1705 after a prolonged siege by the Mughal army. The Guru had been offered safe passage if he left the town on a oath on the Koran by emperor Aurangzeb. In the early hours of the morning at the swollen river Sarsa the Guru and his Sikhs were attacked by the Mughal army under the command of Wazir Khan, breaking their oath of safe conduct. In the ensuing confusion, cold and darkness, most of the Sikhs perished. Some braved the current and a few including Guru Gobind Singh were able to cross the river in the heat of the battle. During the confusion the Guru was separated from his family. The Guru, his two eldest sons and 40 Sikhs were able to cross the river and escape. This gurdwara was built on the spot where the battle occurred and the Gurus family was separated. Gurdwara Garhi Sahib, Chamkaur Sahib, Dist. Ropar This gurdwara commemorates the spot of the bloody battle of Chamkaur. After the attack at the river Sarsa, Guru Gobind Singh, his two eldest sons and 40 Sikhs made it to the town of Chamkaur while being pursued by an army of 1,000. Guru Gobind Singh and the 40 Sikhs sought shelter in a mud-built double story house. They were attacked by the enemy on December 22, 1705. Against these overwhelming odds, the Sikhs ventured our in small groups to fight the enemy and bravely lay down their lives. Thirty Seven Sikhs were martyred that day including Guru Gobind Singhs two eldest sons as well as three of the Five Beloved Ones (the first baptized Khalsa). Guru Gobind Singh himself was preparing for battle and martyrdom, but the five remaining Sikhs in the fort enacted the scene at Anandpur, where they were had the authority of Guruship and Gobind Singh their Khalsa disciple. Quoting the Gurus words giving them authority to issue resolutions, they ordered Guru Gobind Singh to escape the fort at night followed by three of the five remaining Sikhs. Gurdwara Katalgarh Sahib, Chamkaur Sahib, Dist. Ropar During the battle of Chamkaur in 1704 in which the Guru and 40 Sikhs fought against overwhelming odds, both of Guru Gobind Singhs sons died in battle at this spot. The remaining Sikhs in the fort at Chamkaur were being martyred one by one, but they did not want the Gurus two sons to go into battle. Guru Gobind Singh declared that all the Sikhs in the fort were his beloved sons. During the battle Baba Ajit Singh asked his fathers permission to go out of the fort and fight the enemy. He said, "Dear father, my name is Ajit or Unconquerable. I will not be conquered. And if conquered, I will not flee or come back alive. Permit me to go, dear father." Guru Gobind Singh hugged and kissed his beloved son before sending him into battle where he fought heroically until his last breath. Baba Jujhar Singh having watched his brother fight, asked Guru Gobind Singh, "Permit me, dear father to go where my brother has gone. Don't say that I am too young. I am your son, I am a Singh or Lion of yours. I shall prove worthy of you. I shall die fighting, with my face towards the enemy, with God and the Guru on my lips and in my heart." Guru Gobind Singh embraced him and said, "Go my son and wed life-giving Death. We have been here for a while. Now we shall return to our real home. Go and wait for me there. Your grandfather and elder brother are already waiting for you." Thus the Guru watched his two sons achieve eternal peace through martyrdom. Guru Gobind Singh was prepared to follow his sons and Sikhs in martyrdom, but it was not the great Gurus time yet. Gurdwara Charan Kanwal, Machhiwara, Dist. Ludhiana After agreeing to leave Chamkaur as commanded by his Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh escaped into the night and the jungle surrounded by the enemy troops. In the dark the Guru was separated from his three Sikh and left alone in the dense jungle. Guru Gobind Singh trudged through the jungle day and night, his clothes tattered and his feet blistered. Eventually the Guru reached the outskirts of Machiwara town and lay down to sleep in a garden in some bushes on the ground with a stone as his pillow. Here he was found by the three remaining Sikhs Daram Singh, Daya Singh and Man Singh. This gurdwara marks that spot where Guru Gobind Singh was found sleeping. Guru Gobind Singh drank water from the well that appears in the foreground. Gurdwara Chubara Sahib, Machhiwara, Dist. Ludhiana A Sikh named Gulaba Singh lived in the town of Machhiwara and provided Guru Gobind Singh and his three Sikhs refuge in his house at this spot while the enemy where prowling the countryside looking for the Guru with orders to capture or kill him.

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman appeared on ESPN's Under The Bridge Thursday morning to speak with Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. It's all a little bit too reminiscent of Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog clocking in and out of work, but despite the staging of what's becoming an increasingly fictionalized program, it's still amusing to see the most enraging heel get body slammed from time to time.
Most of the attention has been focused on this quote from Sherman:
Whenever you refer to me, whenever you speak to me, whenever you address me, address me as All-Pro Stanford graduate beacuse those are some accomplishments you will aspire to but never accomplish. You have never accomplished anything. In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you.
However, my personal favorite part of the "interview" with Sherman was this:
You couldn't argue valid points to prove that [Darrell Revis is a better cornerback than Richard Sherman]. You couldn't argue anything. You could only say it. It's an opinion. And that's why your opinion is discredited because there are no facts behind it. There are facts behind everything I say. There are facts to support the things that I say. Explain to me your facts.
Of course, it's all a guilty pleasure considering that the genius of Skip Bayless is that his persona is designed in a fashion that makes him the victor even in defeat. Ratings for his program had a 21% year-over-year increase among all viewers in 2012, and was up 32% year-over-year in the coveted male 18-34 demographic. In February, an additional half-hour of the two-hour morning "debate" show was added to ESPN's afternoon programming.
I suppose it could be worse:

Day 9: Shrimp Tacos
Today's recipe, Shrimp Tacos with Black Beans, was prepared by Lindsay Hunt, Real Simple's food assistant.
I tend to cook mostly vegetarian dinners, so I don't have much experience with making shrimp. The month of dinners recipe for Shrimp Tacos with Black Beans seemed like the perfect time to get acquainted.
The beans come first: sauté scallions and then add beans. Though I over-cooked the beans a little when I reheated them, I liked the extra flavor that came from cooking the canned beans.
Then came the shrimp. I will admit that I didn't realize that the shrimp were going to be breaded before I chose this recipe. For some reason, anything that needs to be breaded intimidates me.
This recipe couldn't have made it easier. After beating the egg white lightly in a bowl and tossing the shrimp in it, you simply dump the egg-white coated shrimp into the breading. Easy? Yes. Delicious? Even more than imagined.
Another challenge surmounted: frying multiple breaded shrimps at once. It took a while to find the perfect temperature of the oil, but once I got it just right, I slid in up to 15 shrimp at once, turning exactly when the recipe said, and I ended up with crispy, golden shrimp that looked almost restaurant ready.
Then came the toppings, which were as decadent as the shrimp. After tucking five shrimps between two warm tortillas, I piled sliced avocado, chunky salsa, and a dollop of tangy sour cream on top. With a scoop of the black beans on the side, I evaluated the meal—I was very proud of myself, it felt professional and grown up. And it convinced me to make shrimp again!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
