Today marks the 2 months left point till N12 hits! Seemed as good a day as any to catch everyone up on what's going on.
The Kickstarter funding, which was incredible and really made it so this year could happen, will finish and fund in the next couple of days. We'd originally planned to have tickets on sale today for general admission to N12, but because some of the Kickstarter reward levels included a choice between tickets and a DVD, we have to get that all figured out this week before the tickets go live. We don't wanna oversell and have that mess to deal with of course.
We expect that to take a few days, and we're aiming to have tickets up a week from today. (That's April 30th, 2012). At least that's the plan. If it changes, we'll make sure an let everyone know!
A few reminders: Keep your eyes on the N12 forums, as they have all sorts of great stuff regarding surrounding events, community plans, hotel and rate info, among other things. Also, follow Scott on Twitter for the latest and greatest. And as always, keep your eye on the site for updates and such.
Things are going smoothly. Concert is all set up, food vendors are all locked in, swag is coming together, and prizes are piling up. Not to mention all the great prep going forward for the panels and stuff you'll see on the big day.

Comments about Town Food Service 10-Cup Rice Cooker w/ Auto Cook & Hold, 120 V:
If you are looking for an inexpensive, No-Frills classic rice cooker for household use, this is one of the best deals. Despite the simple looks, this is built as well or better than some much more expensive rice cookers and cooks most varieties of white (and some brown) rice perfectly. If you are not a fan of the latest computerised rice cookers and can do without the programs to cook all kinds of non-rice things, this unit will do the trick. I like the rather old-fashioned and classic look of it as well.

Vector network analyzer
Array Solutions
Booth C1332
VNA 2180: The VNA 2180 measures impedance (magnitude and phase) and filter transmission in the range of 5KHz to 180MHz. A PC is used to plot parameters, such as impedance, SWR, S11 and S21. The test frequency is generated digitally. A 12-bit analog-to-digital converter digitizes the raw data. This avoids non-linearity associated with diode detectors, and results in very good dynamic range and linearity for accurate magnitude and phase measurements.
Soundproof door
Soundproof Windows
Booth C1844
Studio Door Max: Two sliding glass doors are mounted on each side of a door opening. The doors can be mounted inside the opening or outside of the door opening. An 8" thick wall can provide an overall installed door thickness ranging from 8" to 13.5". A 10.5" wall depth can provide up to 16" of overall door assembly thickness. All of the door panels are removable. These sliding glass doors provide a higher STC than most solid doors. If mounted over a swing door, overall STC values can be improved while being able to see into the recording area. With two doors STC is 55 to 57 depending on the glass configuration and spacing. Using three doors, STC is 65. The two-door options block as much low frequencies as the 65 STC combination. Only in the upper frequencies does the 65 STC combination outperform the two-door set. Even then, the two-door combinations stop more than 55dB in the upper frequencies.

Report-IT Live: This application allows reporters and announcers to send live broadcast-quality IP audio wirelessly from any remote location to a Tieline IP codec in the studio. Report-IT Live can broadcast live and record the broadcast on the iPhone at the same time, so a copy of the live report can be kept. Record an interview or report offline and then go live on the air later. Users can also report live and play grabs from any recorded interview while on the air. Audio files can be forwarded in real time to a Tieline codec in the studio for recording, or uploaded via FTP to a news server with no codec required in the studio. Tieline has designed and built the Report-IT Live hardware dock (sold separately).

My sd is a piece of work. I am so tired of it. ARRRRRGGGG!!!!! She is 16. A sophomore in h/s. Has a part time job. Doesn't talk to her mom, or her older brother.
She has been in counseling for 3 months or so. Every week. The only thing that has been accomplished there is that she knows her mom is a first class as*hole now. As far as the having friends, bringing her grades up, listening at home, and changing her attitude.....not so much. She talks to a friend on the phone (usually only when we leave the house?:) . Suppose that is a step. @@ Still doesn't do crap for a 16 year old girl. No movies, no mall, no hanging out, etc....but the few times she did....she always had fun. Go figure. She isn't one of those loner kids either, cuz she always wants to 'get people's attention' by what she wears etc. She was also mixed up with the gang kids and we suspect still does talk to them. Counselor has no insight on this matter either. She doesn't "get it" any better than we do. About the not wanting to be around her friends more. Because she is very defensive to say she has a lot of friends but won't invite anyone over etc. Oh an example of her friends....two juniors...no biggie, but...one has a car...she has already skipped classes to go out to lunch with them. Then they wanted her to go to Denver Colorado with them one weekend...ROFL!! So was not going to happen! But where in the world are these girls parents??? No clue. Even her counselor laughed when she brought up wanting to drive to another state with her great friends. LOL. Same two girls wanted her to get a hotel room for her birthday. NOT!!! As far as grades...well school will be done on Friday...some classes are doing finals this last week, some are finished already. I looked at my son's grades online yesterday (he had a couple to bring up as well, and I am happy to say he did) so I checked out hers as well, cuz after all she keeps telling dh and counselor that she is doing her work and turning stuff in and doing the make up work blah blah blah..... yeah.....that is why she still has D's in three classes and an F in another. I was floored. These teachers are just stupid as hell too!! We made her join a club....trying to get her to expand her horizons.....a few weeks back they went on a field trip for the end of the year.....yeah, they were gone all freakin' day!!!!! Since when do they let kids who are failing classes go on all day field trips???? The teachers signed off on this too!!! I was pissed! DH thought it was just a half a day thing. They didn't even come back until after 4. They went clear to the mountains. She knew this, didn't say anything to us....and her dumb as* wore shorts, and a tank top.....yeah..hello...our mountains still have snow that is 6 feet high. lol....she had to tromp through the snow and scraped up her legs in the hard snow. Duh!!!! She is already signed up for summer school. She didn't even try to bring her grades up. She says she has, but there is no possible way she even tried...not even one iota!!! My son had the same amount of time to bring two grades up, and he managed to do it. She either stayed the same or got worse! Yeah, the slips she was supposed to bring home on Fridays, signed by each teacher about her progress etc....she hasn't done that in forever.....oh and can you even imagine that she had that many subs???? Dh asked her last night why she hadn't been bringing those home....just got the same big doe eyed sad face and shrug. Tears always work don't they??? ARGGGG! No one holds this kid responsible. Not even her freakin dad! It makes me so mad! Plus, there is nothing to be done for consequences! How do you give consequences for not following through on things, when the kids doesn't do a damn thing??????? That is my biggest question. I know that is why she just keeps doing the same thing over and over.
I don't know....I am just fed up with her. I do not think that counseling is even working with her. So far it just seems to be a waste of time and money. Nothing has changed in 3 plus months....unless you count how dh and I have tried to be more accommodating to her in order to help nurture some change....nope....didn't help at all, she just started taking advantage and doing even less if you can imagine. |
Follow-Up Postings:
"No one holds this kid responsible. Not even her freakin dad! You've hit the nail on the head! So how do you whip DH's butt into helping his DD succeed? And how do you help her want to succeed? |
You sound very angry and upset - perhaps you need to disengage for a bit and let your husband handle all the things that pertain to his daughter. Kids can be very perceptive and if you're having a hard time in relation to her - chances are she knows it and either doesn't care or wants to get a rise out of you. Don't give her that power. Let your husband know exactly why he now has to take complete and full responsibility for his daughter. Let him know your feelings on the matter. And leave the parenting of her to him. I know that your son is probably watching and wondering why she gets the breaks. All you need to do is remind him that by listening to you, he doesn't have to get up early this summer to go to summer school. Good luck. |
She is a sophomore in HS and has a part time job? Excuse me, but that is doing something. Your entire post is a derisive put down of this girl. You call her names. You call her teachers names. Maybe you are just venting here because you are fed up, but if this is the attitude you show your SD at home, then I would shut down around you as well. I didn't find anything in your 8 paragraphs that indicated any real thought into what could be the matter with this girl. Has she been evaluated for ADD? (often these kids are accused of being lazy, don't do well in school, give up easily when challenged, and forget things like bringing notes home from teachers).And how about depression, although you say she is in counseling and hopefully a good counselor would address that. And my second thought is that positive reinforcement is much more effective than negative. That is, when she does do something good, praise her, smile, reward her in some way, even just giving her a quick hug. You will get more results than if you put her down all the time. BTW, my DS goes on all day field trips with his school all the time. It's pretty standard and can be a good way to learn for kids who don't have the skill set to sit in a classroom and learn by listening to a teacher talk to them. Learning occurs in all different ways. |
I agree, I feel for this girl -- seems that no one seems to care -- a post that starts with calling someone a piece of work. Comparing kids, even biological siblings, is not effective parenting. |

Ceph- I totally agree. The lack of holding her responsible is making the situation worse as time goes on, that is what I have been seeing. Plus you got it right, how does one "help" her want to succeed? I have said it before, when she sees things as "too hard" then she just gives up and quits. lonepiper- thank you. I have times when I do have to disengage, and probably have to again. The yo yo-ing is tough. One time I think i might disengage and never return. You know? barb5- I have been in this girls life since she was two years old. This is not just some whim of mine. This is years of trying and putting myself out there for her. ADD? oh puleez. No, there is no chance of that. @@ She only recently started doing crappy in school. She is perfectly capable of the C's that were all that was asked of her. As for the positive reinforcement...preachin' to the choir. I know. I just said in my post that we have been more than accommodating to her, and giving her praise for getting her dishes done @@, thanking her when she managed to vacuum the rugs for me ONE day....yeah, there is praise, thanks, etc....but like I said, she got an inch and took a mile. She got worse. Kkny-kiss my a@@ I am not one of the step parents who has only been at this for a few years or less. I have been in my skids lives since they were very little. I know them. I have been there for them, I have cared for them and loved them. |
- Posted by wild_thing (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 2:20
oh, and btw....yeah she works....she works only on weekends, and wouldn't even have her job if dad wasn't waking her up on time lol. He says he isn't "anymore", but I know better. Plus she always wants them to let her off early. |
OK, you are really angry, I get it. And I have been there as well. My SD was once 16, and believe me, it wasn't always warm and fuzzy at our house. But I never would have thought of calling her names. The thing is is that we are all "pieces of work" when we are 16. But if we are handled right and have people around us who can show us the way in loving ways that don't demean us and let us know that they have faith in us, then hopefully we metamorph into lovely 20 years old. I saw some good things in your post- setting guidelines (saying no to the hotel room), getting her to join a club at school, getting SD into counseling, and you say trying to positively reinforce good behavior. But your anger and hostility and belittling dismissal of people comes through so loud and clear and even gets transferred here to those who have responded to your post, that I predict it is highjacking the good things. I think Lonepiper has given good advice for you to disengage at this point. Go do something good for you- spend an afternoon with a friend doing something you like to do, take a long walk after dinner to get out of the house. And leave the parenting to DH. Is counseling an option for you? |
- Posted by wild_thing (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 16:25
I come here to vent people. If not let my anger out here, then better I should take it out on her???? I don't think so. I already told you people, I am not stupid. I have been around the block and worked with many kids. I know what burn out is. Since when is saying someone is a piece of work calling them names?? Damn, I have called people worse than that and I like them . This place is supposed to be something good for me. A place to vent. Get it?? I go out and do stuff with my friends every saturday. So no worries there ladies. I leave parenting my sd to my dh. Yes. The other three kids I take care of because she takes up a good portion of his time. The reason for my anger? I have been doing this for over 13 years. In and out of counseling with the both of my skids. Again I say hell and back with them. Stuff only a few here could understand. So yes, if I display the occasional burst of anger I think it is perfectly understandable. I have posted several times in the last few months how things have been going alright with sd also. Guess everyone missed those posts....too boring and dull and not enough info to bash someone or suggest that they need counseling. I would love to go myself btw, but we don't have the money for it since sd is in counseling and we are still paying off my surgery bill from march. I didn't ask for advice. My post was merely one for venting. I know that there are a few ladies here that I would listen to but so far no one has said anything that I don't already know myself, only because I have been doing this for so long. There is a point one reaches where they get so frustrated at times that they want to scream....well my post was that moment for me. Do I behave that way ALL the time.....uh..no. I would hate to think that some of you are like stepford wives that have no emotion at all and only behave one way. Not me, I am as real as the sky and sea...and I feel things just like the next person. Just because I am a step mom that means I don't get to vent frustration or anger at a situation?? That is stupid thinking. There are so many standards for step parents it is ridiculous. I live here too and I see what goes on and I do have opinions. I am allowed. I get pissed at my 15 year old son too....he gets me angry and frustrated....but since this is a step parenting forum I don't really bother with the stuff that he does that gets on my nerves.....so you step mom bashers don't need to think my "anger" is only targeted at my sd. There is plenty to go around! I am a mom to four kids in our house, this is just one tiny itty bitty portion of my life that I share here. @@ FYI, due to my checking on sd's grades online, she turned in a bunch of assignments for geometry and english that she didn't...some were done, some were not and she finished them...maybe three geometry assignments and one fairly big english assignment...well, she got her C's in all but english...and that was a d. She felt bad that SHE had been lying to us and saying she was turning her stuff in when she had it in her bag. So she did what she had to and turned the rest in. |

wild_thing I know your frustration and you have every right to come on here and vent! I wish I could wave my magic wand and make it all better... I've gone through the same thing as you, there were "his" girls and "my" son. My boy has always had to live with my DH's double standards between him and DH's girls, luckily my son seems to know that he's getting a good life-education out of the situation and he rolls with it very well. Hope it gets better! |
- Posted by wild_thing (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 16:29
oh and my "belittling and dismissing" .....I don't like kkny, so I have nothing good to say to her. Thats just me, I read her posts to others and I dont like anything she has to say. My opinion only. Also, like I said, I take what I can use and toss the rest. If people are going to post and misconstrue what I post, then I will set them straight. That is how I am, that is just me. |
- Posted by wild_thing (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 16:56
poppin' thanks. My son seems to understand that too, although it was not always that way. Especially when he was little and we had my ss and he was physically violent towards him. He does well now, with adjusting, he sometimes gets along with his step sister, but then he doesn't get along with his little sister but that is just kids so... It does get better, I was having a bad day, and vented. Today is another day and I feel much better about today. You know, sometimes we only see one tiny portion of someones day or a peek into just a section of their lives. I wouldn't change it. My sd knows this is her home, because her mom doesn't want her. She is allowed to feel bad about that and be angry about it, just as much as I am allowed to get frustrated about her issues. We are a family that says you feel what you feel, just talk about it, that is all we ask. That is where sd has a hard time. But she isn't the only one, it is a teen thing, cuz my son is sometimes the same way. We have family things we do, I just havn't posted about it. I didn't think I needed to justify every post I made here lol. I am a mother figure to my sd and I do things with her that her mom should be doing, but I havn't posted about those things either. But that is why I did say that I put myself out there time and again. Because I do. But I don't have to draw pictures for some. :::wink::: I do need a vacation. I would love one! Someplace crazy maybe....the south??? ROFL! Just kidding. |
- Posted by lovehadley (My Page) on Wed, Jun 3, 09 at 16:59
I think you have every right to come here and vent. I have done the same in the past and will do it again in the future, I'm sure. Being a stepparent can be hard work and a thankless job. There are people that will argue that parenting bio-children is hard work and thankless at times; and yeah, maybe sometimes, but it IS different. I have my DD's love--and I am her mama. That makes everything I do for her NOT thankless! With my SS, it is different. I do the same kinds of things for him, but there is not that parent/child bond. At the end of the day, he doesn't run to me when he is scared or sad, he doesn't call me first when he is excited about something...he goes to his mom or dad for those things. And that's OKAY, I don't expect him to view me as his mom. BUT it does make the relationships different. Step-parenting has been THE MOST CHALLENGING thing I have done in my life, even more so than having my DD at 21 and being a single mom. And sometimes there is nothing you can do but vent about the frustrations that go along with it---so vent away! |
- Posted by wild_thing (My Page) on Fri, Jun 5, 09 at 15:52
thanks lovehadley! I do like to vent every now and again. I get frustrated. By what some people post in replies, you would think it wasn't okay to ever feel angry and frustrated. Just because that is what I post here does not mean that is what is being projected on to my family. I am a lot more patient with them lol. I have an almost 23 month old who has turned out to be my most difficult child lol...I know all about patience! My little man is one strong willed child indeed. One thing we noticed with sd, with having the little ones, is that she experiences jealousies related to how we interact with them. Because she has lived with us since her sister was just a baby. But it is seeing the interaction that we have with them as they grow that makes her jealous, because she knows that she didn't get that, and also that her little brother (from her mom and step dad) also didn't get that, because they had her watching him most of the time. So we have had to watch her interaction with them, mostly with her sister, because she used to be really mean to her. Since she is older, we havn't noticed it with the baby. She actually has a nice bond with him. |

Background: In the present work, we evaluated the possibility of introducing ultrasonographic (US) examination in association to fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) before sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) as a useful diagnostic tool in the pre-surgical management of patients with MCC and we also assessed the negative predictive value and false negative rate of combined cytological (US+FNAC) and histological (SLNB) procedure compared to the literature values obtained from different SLNB procedures.
Design: US examination was performed in 53 patients with diagnosed MCC and in 11 patients it was followed by FNAC of US suspicious lymph node. Smears were examined by routine cytological staining. Cases of uncertain diagnosis were stained in immunocytochemistry with a combination of anti-cytokeratin antibodies (CK 20, CAM 5.2).
Results: All FNAC were informative (10 LNs were positive for metastases, 1 was negative). Of all others 42 MCC cases, with nonsuspicious lymph nodes on US, in which no FNAC examination was performed, 6 carcinomas (14.3%) turned out to be lymph node positive on histological examination. One of the 11 (9.1%) negative cytological diagnoses was false negatives since lymph node metastasis of 5 mm of diameter was found by SLNB on histology. Based on these data, US+FNAC are endowed with high sensitivity and accuracy (both of 90.9%) and absolute specificity (100%) and we suggest that US examination should be performed in all patients with MCC adding immunocytochemistry-supported FNAC only on US-suspect lymph node. Besides, the negative predictive value for our combined cytological and histological procedure was 94.7% (36/38) and the false negative rates in our series was 10.5% (2/19).
Conclusions: The present preoperative protocol (US+FNAC and SLNB) is reliable for screening patients with lymph node metastases, thus avoiding sentinel lymph node biopsy in 18% (10/53) of MCC cases.

Just want to check on how this works… Could I:
Use Red 2 in an engagement to deal it's 2 damage to an enemy unit. Then, if in that same engagement an objective is destroyed, I use red 2 again to damage either the same or different unit?
Use red 2 in an engagement. That engagement ends WITHOUT destroying an objective. During a second engagement an objective IS destroyed. Use Red 3 in a third engagement.
I am pretty sure those both work, but I just wanted to check. Also, I know that the second scenario is pretty unlikely… i am really just checking to make sure I understand the rules.

PREY is one of the newest games to be added to our benchmark line-up. It is based off the Doom 3 engine and offers stunning graphics passing what we've seen in Quake 4 and does put quite a lot of strain on our test systems.
We see a similar picture here but even with a few tests the Radeon X1950PRO really spat out a weird result at the highest resolution. Again, that extra memory seems to be playing an important role at high resolutions.

From The Jungle Line, which I know of curtesy of a beloved online buddy.
My hand is up.

Thanks Lynn, yeah a real collaboration on that version of Jungle Line: Joni Mitchell lyrics, Herbie Hancock piano and Leonard Cohen voice. Love the words they seemed to fit the image, not sure why.

Love this,Rhoufi! Amazing shadows on the walls and the silhouette is fabulous!
Thanks Pat, I'm getting out a bit more and I always cruise past this spot – it's always theatrical :-)

Love that 'crumpled paper' background and the swing of her bag (she does not look pleased either)
I took 3 and this one was the most dynamic; I liked the "swing" too. Maybe she was not pleased because she is one of the "bitchy" one LOL I'd prefer "wild and fine". Thanks Georgie
– Rhoufi
Wild, fine and practicing her attitude for fashion week maybe?
Oh yes she has that strutting style of the model – that totally unnatural "natural" look. Remind me to stay away from the City Square when Fashion Week is in full "swing".

I have learned so much from this forum and now, finally after lurking here, wishing and planning over the past couple of years we have a large hole in our back yard! Looking forward to sharing our build!
Here are the details of the plan:
Will try and post pictures. As you can see, following the completion of the dig from yesterday, the side walls in the deep have fallen and there is water slowly seeping to the bottom. The PB has reassured me it will be taken care of. Yikes, still hard to watch chunks continue to fall. We have had a rainy June/July here around Houston combined with our clay it is making a mess of the nice carved out pool shape from yesterday. The plan for today is to complete the steel after pumping out the water and add plumbing to the walls. Gunite tomorrow. Seems to be common in pool builds?? Will it jeopardize the integrity of the pool?

Thank you Memama! Our PB plans to continue the plywood they were planning to use at the deep end access around to the sides where the walls fell and steel/gunite over it. Then fill behind the gunite with additional dirt. The water can be pumped out from under the gunite as needed. Sounds like it is not so common but can be worked out. They are still planning for gunite tomorrow. |

nice plan. We have two sets of jets in our spa, one set on the Intelliflo VF pool pump, and the other on a 1.5 HP Whisperflo pump. We have two 1.5HP Silencer blowers, one on each set of jets. But, we never use them. We plumbed 2" air lines 90 feet to the equipment pad, and they suck air just fine, for free. So make sure your PB uses 2" lines for the air, and you will save electricity and noise. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 8, 10 at 12:39
Thanks pool novice, will pass it on to the PB. New pics of the gunite completed. I was concerned the slope was too steep for a diving board. The PB assured me it is standard. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 12, 10 at 17:52
Your trenches do not appear very deep. I wonder if you would have freeze problems in the winter time. I remember that my trenches were much deeper than yours. We live in Jacksonville, FL |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 13, 10 at 10:23
Good point. Hard to tell from the picture. They very in depth from 6"-9". All of the plumbing around the pool will be under the concrete decking. The long stretch running past the backporch around the side of the house will be the area to look at. Will find out. Thanks! |

Do you have any finished photo's of your pool? |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 11, 10 at 22:28
Not finished yet. The equipment is almost installed on the equipment pad and the travertine is finished on the patio. |
Who installed your travertine patio, and do you know where they got the stone? Very pretty. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 12, 10 at 21:50
Thank you! Our pool builder, Gulf Coast Pools installed it. Not sure where they got the stone. It is honed, not filled noche. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 29, 10 at 18:21
We have had recent progress. Our decking was framed and poured. The plumbing, electric, equipment and spa coping are planned to be wrapped up to start the plaster. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 14:22
Posting a picture of our stone for the spa and fire pit from awhile back. Most importantly though is our pool was drained Friday and the plaster was started today!!! They finished the Desert Gold on the steps and will be back tomorrow for the Blue Granite for the spa and pool. After wondering/worrying how the colors would work together and even if the pool would ever be finished, is it unbelievable to see it coming together finally!!! I took the wave idea from lala2874's beautiful pool over a year ago when I planned our pool. Loved the way her colors blended. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 6, 11 at 22:11
Pebble Sheen buffing and acid wash was finished today. We started filling up. The Shimmering Sea really added some sparkle. |
I am interested in what the pool will look like with 2 different finishes. So please post more pics. Great looking pool and backyard. |

Quite a difference in color between our fill water and following filter start up, the addition of muriatic acid and Jacks Magic the Blue Stuff. |
Your pool is fantastic!! Can I be nosey and ask what the pool budget was, less or greater than $45K? We are in East TX and planning our pool out now, which has very similair aspects as your pool. However, I'm skeptical that we can get all the features we want for the current budget, thus the question. Also, I think East TX may be abit higher than Houston, due to lack of competion. Also, did you consider salt and if chose against it why? Thanks and enjoy the summer!!!! as I know you already are. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 12, 11 at 22:44
Thank you for the compliments :) Low 60s was how the pool came out. We did consider salt water generation. I'm a little chicken regarding our travertine coping. We can always add the salt water generator later if we tire of maintaining with liquid chlorine. Wishing you the best of luck with your build! I'll post some more pictures after the diving board and slide are up. |
Hi! I LOVE the color of your pool. We just started...I want blue granite. Your colors blend so nicely. If you don't mind me asking..what color is your water tile? I am having the hardest time with that choice..and yours looks FANTASTIC! |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Wed, May 25, 11 at 7:17
Thank you Stayc. We used 6.5" Vesale Series from Noble Tile called Sand. I too found it hard to decide. pooljewel_2010 also had a pretty tile with blue, brown and gray. It was a close 2nd. Have fun deciding. I love seeing everyone's color combinations here. Look forward to seeing how your pool turns out! |
Thank you SO much! I just emailed our pool guy to see if it is available! Yay, I am so excited! I will also check out pooljewel_2010 to see what that looks like. Thank you! ~Stacy |

How was the city of Missouri City to deal with on the permitting and inspections? Last time I built one in Missouri City, they would come up with new requirements as we built the pool. No fun! |
Just out of curiosity....did it really take 9 months to build your pool? (which is fantastic by the way). We are in the process right now, and just wondering what kind of delays you might have run into to cause that much time lapse. Our boy has already scheduled himself to be swimming on the 4th of July, and we are just now getting gunite on the 27th of May...... |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Sat, May 28, 11 at 20:30
Yes, 9 months and still waiting at this point, for the slide to be delivered/installed and the expansion joint between the coping and deck to be installed among other issues. Our pool builder has stated he is struggling to stay in business. This has been a very stressful build. I try and think on the positive he did not walk away from our pool. We did our research, did not take the lowest bid and thought we were making the best choice based on several factors. We were given a timeline of 6 weeks, 8 weeks tops to finish the pool when we signed the contract at the end of July '10. Our delays were most often because the guys ran out of material then did not show up for extended periods of time to finish. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Sat, May 28, 11 at 22:12
Womanowned, Not sure on Missouri City's dealings. Our community is out of city limits so we had an inspection prior to the decking pour and will have one upon completion of the pool. We missed the gunite inspection. |
Gorgeous pool, but I'm curious as to why there are patches to the cement aound both skimmers in a brand new pool. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Mon, May 30, 11 at 7:11
We have patches around the skimmers for two different reasons. One skimmer was replaced after it was cracked during the build, (see the link). The other skimmer has a large patch area that has been re patched since that picture. It is right were the crew ran out of cement during our deck pour. Where they added a new load of cement, a large crack has formed. It just happens to be near the skimmer that did not need replacing. Maybe an expansion joint between the old and new cement on that night they formed the deck could have prevented the jagged reoccurring crack. It took at least an hour to get a new cement truck out. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Skimmer cracked during build
I haven't been on the forum in months and just happened to be skimming through your pictures and noticed the awesome wave of colors! I was thinking "Wow, that is just like ours!". Then I went back and read through the progress and saw that you had seen ours! How exciting! Don't you just love it? It seems to add personality to the pool. Your pool is absolutely gorgeous! Great job! |
Hi Cakelady, I just wanted to say that my Pool guy said that the tile 'sand' is not available. =( However he said that he will check in the TX area (I am in FL). So we will see. I still LOVE your pool colors!! Thank you again for your help! |
- Posted by womanowned (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 0:08
Wamaha....not sure where you are located, but 9 months to build a pool is outrageous. There is no excuse for a pool to take that long to build. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 15:21
Stacy, sorry to hear our tile is hard to come by. Master Tile had a similar tile like ours called 'NOR LAT BOT 6' from the Latina Series. lala2874 used it with travertine and it was very pretty. Looks like wamaha is using Pearland Pools for their build. I don't expect they will have a problem. I referred them to a very good friend of mine as we made the mistake of not using them for our build. Their build has gone smoothly even though they are very busy. They are a very professional and a timely builder of beautiful pools. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 21:58
Thank you lala for the kind words. So glad you like our pool! I would look at yours so often throughout our build. I love the 2 colors too. The contrast also helps the steps stand out for safety. |
Cakelady - Great pool! Sorry to hear about the difficulties and length of your build. I am currently in the build process with the same PB. I'd love to talk to you offline about your experiences, as we are starting to have a few of our own. I will be posting pics and details in the next couple days. |
- Posted by cakelady_2010 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 23, 11 at 21:09
DocZ, So hoping they will get things going well for you :) I'm not sure how to contact you offline. If you can figure out a way to contact me, I would love to help you anyway I can. |
- Posted by RioRedCobra (My Page) on Sat, Oct 8, 11 at 8:48
Cakelady_2010, I was about to choose the same PB this weekend but after reading your posts, I am strongly reconsidering. Has everything been completed on your build? I would love to talk to you offline. |

Singer Chris Brown Kicked Out of Rehab
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A rehab center where Chris Brown voluntarily enrolled for treatment says the singer was discharged after throwing a rock through his mother's car window.
The letter from the facility was included in a probation report that was given to a Los Angeles judge and prosecutors Wednesday.
Superior Court Judge James Brandlin considered the report when he ordered Brown to spend three months in a residential treatment facility.
The rehab center is not identified in the letter, but it states that Brown threw the rock at his mother's car after a joint counseling session Nov. 10. The incident was a violation of an agreement the singer made to refrain from violence when he entered treatment.
Brown agreed to renewed treatment in court Wednesday.

GUWAHATI: Heavy rain even before the arrival of the monsoon is providing relief to the denizens here from the scorching heat. But for the dwellers of Anil Nagar and Nabin Nagar areas in the city, it is just a prelude to horrible days in the coming months.
Though garbage and plastic products thrown in drains have been causing severe water logging in these two areas, the work of contractors engaged by the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) for cleaning drains is also under scanner. On Tuesday, during a drizzle, trash and silt dumped on the side of the drains were seen flowing into the same drains. Though it is mandatory for the contractors carrying out cleaning and desilting work to shift the trash and silt from near the drains immediately, these contractors seem to have turned a deaf ear to the GMC's order.
After rainwater submerged several parts of Anil Nagar and Nabin Nagar in the last two days, workers carried out cleaning and desilting work here on Monday. But the trash was not cleared.
Showers in the last two days once again reminded the people of the these two localities of the embarrassing days of yesteryear, as people travelling through the Rajgarh Link Road in Anil Nagar had to walk through knee-deep water on Monday due to flash floods triggered by clogged drains.
"The contractors always try to hoodwink the GMC. In the entire Rajgarh Link Road in Anil Nagar, silt and garbage have been dumped on the road side. If there is heavy rain, the garbage will once again get carried to the drains," said Sunil Barua of Anil Nagar.
Recently, the GMC slapped a fine on a firm named for not shifting garbage and silt from the roadside even after cleaning drains. The GMC has allocated Rs 9.84 crore for cleaning and desilting 168 drains this year and work will continue till October end.

The Prisoner of Windsor
Timing is everything with a comedy and nobody can fault Justin Butcher for penning a full-length play that satirizes the Royal Wedding within weeks of the big day itself. The plot, a burlesque of The Prisoner of Zenda, makes some arguably justifiable points about the nature of the British workforce at present and the stoicism of the immigrant population who inhabit these shores.
The ribald comedy satirizing the British royal family doesn't really break new ground, but does offer some funny moments - particularly with Simon de Deney's embittered Duke of Edinburgh and the tongue-in-cheek arrival of Geoffrey Rush to save the day.
There is some good material here but a woeful lack of structure that demotes the whole venture to the level of a particularly long Saturday Night Live sketch. Author Butcher may have rushed to meet a deadline but there is little here that appears time-sensitive, and it may well have benefited from a sympathetic dramaturg. As director, Butcher maintains pace but cuts too many artistic corners, and the piece might have been more successful in other hands.
The performances are as varied as the material, but there is some nice work from Stephen Guy Daltry as an unflappable Queen and Nick Malinkowski as Romulus, the immigrant gardener with the uncanny resemblance to the heir presumptive and a penchant for polemic debate. Phillippa Peak really hits the spot with her lethal though affectionate portrayal of Kate Middleton, and John Sheerman is perfect as the shy, stammering Prince Wills.

Hello and Welcome! From what I am seeing, you are doing well by your plants already. They are very pretty. (And the baby in the third pic? Awwww. :)) A houseplant for me is something that can be grown in the house, something that doesn't need to be planted in the ground to grow. That is my thinking anyway. I am in no position to give advice, I am still learning myself. But I am sure that you will get plenty here. Take a seat, sit back, relax and read on. And again~ welcome to the site! Best place for me and my plants! |
Since plants don't naturally occur indoors, the term 'houseplant' is probably very close to being a complete misnomer. For the most part though, we can probably say that houseplants are almost always tropical or subtropical perennials that have gained favor by virtue of their being more tolerant of often unfavorable indoor conditions than most of their other tropical/subtropical counterparts. I remember having seen your name over at C&S. It's nice to have you here - hope you visit often. Welcome! Al |

Love the marble queen and marnata! I have a golden pothos too. It's just finally starting to show some length on the vines. For the pothos cuttings, you don't have to root them first. They are pretty hearty and can just be plopped back into the soil. The roots develop so fast :-) My friend had one with vines that were probably 20 feet long. We chopped it up and put them back into the soil. It's growing like crazy now! Nice and full looking. |

Hello, CC and welcome to the House Plant Forum. I've seen you on C&S's. A house plant is a tropical, sub-tropical or succulent plant that is kept indoors during cold, winter months, or for some, year round. Any plant, including annuals, veggies and herbs can be grown indoors, if proper light is offered. They'd too be considered house plants. Your plants look great. I love your Maranta. Toni |
There are considerations other than just light that determine what can/can't be grown indoors. "Any plant ..... can be grown indoors" is using an absolute too loosely. There are a huge number of plants that can't reside indoors because they require a dormant rest period. Al |

Hithere! I remember you from a discussion about garden centers in the panhandle area last summer, I think - on gulf coast or FL forum? Glad to hear you've ventured into "house plants." Hope you enjoy the discussions here as much as I do. Your plants look good to me too. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 17:06
I grow "house plants" outdoors, so I consider house plants to be generally those that some people do grow indoors. They're usually what will grow best for me. And afterall, it is a distinction that is purely man-made, so to speak. |

Hi CC.. I'm also a big fan of Pothos. Have been for years, and finally have one of my own. Oddly, I'm not a big fan of the top growth as most I have seen have been higher than eye level, so I've for the most part appreciated the vines. Yours are nice! Mine are on the way.. I see that you are or at some point used one of those globe watering things. What's your experience with them? I haven't heard alot of Good about them because of the uneven watering.. Lots of nice people here.. I'm learning alot, and furthering my GW disease! Charlie |

Hi there. Houseplants are those plants that can be grown in the house in pots year round; imagine that, huh? What makes them that way is that they are tropicals, so don't need winter dormancy; adaptable to having their roots confined in pots; and - usually - adapted to the understory of the forests, in other words, adapted to lower light conditions. Mother Nature was very kind to us to build this talent into some plants so we could have beautiful gardens in our homes. Houseplant books, guides, and sites are full of hundreds of plants that can be considered "houseplants." However, some of them are definitely not in the beginner category. The easy ones are those used in the professional interior landscaping industry - pothos, philodendron, peace lilies, Chinese evergreens, many dracaenas, many dwarf palm varieties, several ficus varieties, and a few others. They are strong, don't die if they go dry, resistant to pests and pathogens, and can adapt to indoor light, temperature, and humidity. Your maranta is not in that category! In your pic it looks like it might be under a light, which would be great. If not, try to find it a place it can be under a light. Check it frequently for bugs (all kinds) and don't let it go dry, or stay too wet. |

Hello Erin! It is great to see you here! I see you at the cactus forum much and I assumed that they were your only plants and favorites. But look at here. You have some nice dubies posted above. I like them all. Mike |

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Charlie - The glass watering globe is there for decorative purposes. I never fill it. They are useless in my opinion. It was given to me shortly after my husband's grandmother passed away. It was hers and I wanted to display it. Mike - Good to see you here! Yes, I prefer cacti and the like but I like houseplants too as well as many other. I have some really nice gardens growing around the yard. Even a vegetable garden! LOL ~Erin~ |

Saturated ruby-red. Restrained aromas of currant, mocha, dark chocolate, licorice, loam and spicy oak. Lush and silky, with intense, somewhat austere currant, black cherry, shoe polish and licorice flavors. Not a large wine but stylish and solidly structured. Initially seemed a bit tough on the finish, with slightly tart acids combining with firm tannins, but softened nicely with aeration and seemed to grow longer on the aftertaste. The best wine to date from this producer.

The 1997 J. Daniel Cuvee is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot (1200 cases produced). The dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 boasts a lavishly pure nose of blackberries, cassis, minerals, licorice, chocolate, and toast. It is expansive, with the vintage's tell-tale richness, sweet tannin, and outstanding ripeness and concentration. The persistent finish lasts for nearly 40 seconds. This wine possesses an openness and sweetness that gives it the impression of being ready to drink, but I suspect much more will emerge with aging. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2020. Kudos to John and Robin Lail for the efforts they have produced to date. The talented young Frenchman, Philippe Melka, is their winemaker.

Hi All,
So we have a new construction house. In our master bathroom we have a 150cfm Panasonic main fan for the shower, and a Panasonic 80cfm fan for the separate toilet room. When we shower a TON of condensation forms on the plaster walls. We have never seen it before. Basically the paint job is ruined. I can't figure out how to fix it. Its not the air flow, we have tired one or both fans with the door open and shut and there is a ton of air moment. The heat is on when we shower so the walls are room temp. The mirrors also do not really fog up. Any ideas? |

Does the condensate form uniformly on all walls, or is one more affected than others? What kind of insulation was used in the walls? Sounds like there might be a void there and the warm moist bathroom air is meeting cold walls and condensate is forming. Also, 150 CFM is pretty low for a bath fan. Where is it ducted to? As in where does the ductwork penetrate the building envelope? And have you checked it to see if the duct is not obstructed? |
There seems to be a ton of air flow. With both fans on its over 240CFM. is that still too low? Its funny i thought 150 was going to be too much air flow. When the fans are on, you can feel quite a bit of wind resistance as you try to close the bathroom door. The drippings are very consistent over all the walls. They also all seem to be the same temp (exterior walls and interior). |

Your DF are growing so fast and beautiful. They get really really heavy if you don't prune them back every once in a while. Have you considered growing different varieties of DF to extend your season? The Yellow DF mature several months after the inside white DF. I really like the red fleshed varieties such as American Beauty and Halley's Comet. Let us know how your fruit taste and thanks for sharing the pics! |
I just planted Physical Grafitti, and an unknown "Yellow" variety last month. I do prune the branches back, otherwise they'd be hanging down much more. Now let's hope that they all will set fruit, I hand pollinated them all, just to help the cause a little bit. Thanks, |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Sun, Sep 26, 10 at 10:32
Yellow Dragon Fruit is its own species, Selenicereus megalanthus, im not aware of varieties. and of course to keep up with the theme of my latest obsession, I bring you Pitahaya bonsai |
very nice mango kush. Did you get the seeds from ebay? I want to grow this just for the pretty bright green leaves. ARe they easy to grow from seed? |
mango kush: what cultivars are those? Amazing! Wouldn't it be something if there was a huge fruit hanging off the side of that little pot? 8-)) Since your handle has "mango", can you suggest some easy to grow varieties? I have one in ground that is growing very healthy, only flowered every year, no fruits set, hopefully next year I'll get some. I wanna try both in ground and potted. Thanks, |
Hi. I have my first cuttings of a white fleshed Dragon Fruit...finally! Not a named variety. I just planted them yesterday, and I am looking for hints on growing them to get them as big as possible as fast as possible and those pictures are unreal. I am in south Fla. So it is nearly the temps. and humidity of Calif. A bit hotter and more humid, but it grows here 'wild'. Had I known it made THAT fruit, I would have gotten cuttings YEARS ago. I would see it growing up in pine trees and blooming all over the place. I didnt know the fruit I watched grow was edible! Then I finally got cuttings yesterday, once I knew what it was! What is the best light to give them? East,west,north,south? once they get going, how about feeding. What kind of food? Any certain numbers? I would sell my let arm for a cutting of something called a Vietnamese Giant! Where did you get it? How old are those? That bloom is so great! It is even bigger than my Epi. Oxypetulum...which of course produces no fruit. Are they fragrant blooms? Sorry to ask so much. but I have 5 new cuttings with tiny roots and freshly potted up....now I need to know how to get them to grow and maybe bloom next year or the following??? |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Mon, Sep 27, 10 at 19:32
jun The picture of the Bonsai pitahaya is not of mine, sorry if I misled you. Its actually the picture from the pitahaya Wikipedia stub newgen Aveo |
newgen....any updated pics of your dragon fruit project?? It has been over a year? How do those pots above not tip over?? They look great as well. marin |
marinfla: Those pots are not mine. I just drove by this one house, and stopped by the sidewalk to take the photo. As for my DF, the 1st year I got flowers, less than 15 (Sep 2010), I tried to hand pollinate them, with varying degrees of success, most probably because I didn't know WTH I was doing. Got about 10 fruits. The 2nd year of flowering (Sep 2011), I only hand pollinated 4 flowers, just for practice, and left the rest for nature to take its course. I ended up with over 35 fruits. In fact, there are still 2 on the vines right now, trying to ripen in the winter! 8-)) The fruits taste from average to very good, most of them fall into "very good", as in juicy and sweet. |
I started my trellis a couple of weks ago. I planted Haley's Comet and American Graffiti in the planter. I also have a small cutting of American Beauty in a small pot that is one segment of cactus length tall. I was thinking of adding a white fleshed variety to the trellis/pot since all what I have is pink or magenta. I would love to see an updated picture of your progress! Marin |
oops Physical Graffiti :) |
They are doing amazing for 1 year later! When my physical graffiti gets bigger and i need to prune it...I would gladly send you cuttings if you want. |
Would love to get a cutting of PG. Thanks!! |
- Posted by greyghost61 8b SoWeGa (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 23:14
That is really nice, how do you protect them from the cold? I noticed you are in zone 9 so it must get cold sometimes. I grow dragon fruit in south GA but I have yet to set fruit, though my plants are rather large. |
greyghost61: I don't do anything to protect them from the cold. In my area, the cold months can get down to the low 30s, dragon fruit seems to be OK with that. |
Wow, what an awesome thread. Thank you for posting the impressive photos. Now I know how to train my potted plant. I bought it 3 years ago as a cutting off of ebay, it has been sprawling all over, and of course, many arms have broken off and gone back into the pot. I now realize it needs to be trained to grow UP and then OUT. Sounds like a good twenty minute weekend project for me to repot it and and get it started growing in the right manner, rather than the out of control octopus look it has right now. |
Wow, your dragon fruit looks great. I have a question does new dragon fruit cutting go temporarily dormant in the cooler months? I got some cutting off ebay in October and it hasn't even rooted yet(Dec), the cutting have gone bright green to a yellow green and the cutting has also shrunk a bit in thickness. What is wrong why aren't the cutting rooting yet? I have email the ebay seller I got it from and he said that in colder months they will go dormant, then start rooting again in spring. Have you had experience like these for new cuttings? In the first picture with the fruits, is that a cherimoya on the right? I saw on another post you said that you're from Fresno, well so am I. I have some cherimoya seedling going now and I want to plant some in ground and leave some in pots. How has your cherimoya plant been handling this Fresno winter? Sorry, you can disregard the cherimoya question if that isn't a cherimoya. |
soaht, Yes, the little plant you asked about is a cherimoya, a Fino de Jete to be exact. I got 2 fruits from it a few months ago. I also have an atemoya in the ground, about 6' tall. Neither one needs any protection from the heat and cold, but I did cover the atemoya to protect from the hurricane wind that happened one time, and that was when the tree was small. Your DF changed from green to yellow may be due to the weather, and they're still tender. Did you plant them in the ground or still in a pot? |
They are in 1 gallon pot outside on the patio that's has an over hang, yellowish green but still tender. Ya, I think it may be the weather temp changing since when i got them the weather was still warm. They were bright green and plump,but now have shrunk a bit in the size but still tender. |
I am excited to see so many people growing dragon fruit! I am hoping someone can help me. My dragon is about a year and half old and I trellised it straight up using a 4x4 in a pot. It is now a little over 5 feet tall and although I have a few little sprouts from the base, the top of the initial dragon has not branched out. Should I be seeing branching from the top of the plant? Do I need to do something to encourage branching? I posted a few pictures of it. Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated! |
When your top D.F reach the top of your trellise , tip it to encourage branching and to build up its "body" for future. |
- Posted by greenman62 9b (My Page) on Mon, Jan 26, 15 at 15:09
what are you feeding it ? what type soil is it in ? The base is not very thick. maybe too much Nitrogen is making it reach for the sky (or, not enough sun ?) |
Thanks for the comments! I was scared to tip it but I finally got brave and cut the top 6 inches off. Hoping for some branches soon! I was concerned about the skinny base too. The base of the plant does not get very much sun (it's about 8 inches below my windowsill). It is planted in a mix of organic soil and cactus potting mix and I have only fed it a couple of times. I've been having trouble finding something with low Nitrogen. Any suggestions? |

A House Appropriations Subcommittee voted today to reinforce that service advisors, the frontline employee-salespersons in the service department, remain exempt from overtime pay requirements. In 2011, the Department of Labor (DOL) attempted to reverse its own 1978 opinion and multiple court decisions and roll back the longstanding exemption. DOL is currently prevented from enforcing any change due to an identical restriction in the FY 2012 Omnibus Appropriations Act which preserves the exempt status of service advisors until Sept. 30, 2012. National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) chairman Bill Underriner, advocating for preserving the exemption status, has been working closely with the Department of Labor and with Congressman Denny Rehberg, R-Mont on this issue. The efforts of Mr. Underriner and Rep. Rehberg are highlighted in today's NADAFrontPage.com. and press release. "Dealers across the country applaud Rep. Rehberg's leadership. His focus on controlling regulatory costs and eliminating red tape helps give dealers the resources to expand their businesses and hire additional staff," said Mr. Underriner in the press release. The FY 2013 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill will now proceed to the full House Appropriations Committee for consideration.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White at the Millennium Forum comes with a health warning - audiences are warned that Donegal crooner Daniel O'Donnell will not appear in person. And while this caveat may provide relief for some, diehard fans will be consoled by his magical 'appearance' in a floating mirror.
Gemma McMeel and Darren Franklin turn in solid performances as Snow White and Prince Charming, solid being particularly appropriate for the latter. Franklin, however, comes into his own the moment he starts singing.
It isn't difficult to spot the professional actors among the motley crew of dwarfs - Grumbly (Andy Herd) and Loopy (Scott English) stand out.
Beautifully festive costumes and gorgeous sets, including the cutest dwarfs' house ever, grace what is in fact the largest theatre stage in Ireland. There are occasional touches of brilliance in the lighting department, too.
But what really makes this production is William Caulfield. If being a panto dame ever became an Olympic sport, then Caulfield would surely be Usain Bolt.
With Caulfield at the helm in his glorious Titanic-themed dresses, ably accompanied by his sidekick Muddles, passengers are steered effortlessly through the funniest voyage this reviewer has ever encountered.
David McLaughlin's hilarious script should also come with a warning. I for one will be repeating his jokes for weeks.

Hey guys, I hoping I might can get some guidance on making my first starter, more specifically when to start preparing it. I know deep in these threads this is covered many times, but truth is, I'm exhausted and bout to head to bed before starting my work weekend tomorrow. I won't have the free time to surf the net for the next few days, so I'm hoping I can get some help here. I feel I can make the starter pretty easily, I'm just not sure how much lead time I need to give myself. I will be using a stir plate. I will be brewing a 5-6 gallon AG of Reissdorf Kolsch Tuesday morning. I should have a target gravity of 1.050. BeerSmith shows I need a 0.76L starter. I will be using White Labs WLP029. Date on yeast is June 10, 2014. To make things easier, I plan on using the recommended DME/water listed on the WL product data page. Seems like it was 1 pint per ¼ cup DME. Anyway, the yeast vial is in the fridge, just kinda need some advice when to start putting this together for a brew session Tuesday morning. Recipe is below if this helps.

If you've got the time, its hard to go wrong with starting it early. After that, it depends on whether or not you'd like to add the whole starter to your beer, or cool and decant the starter wort before brewing. Some people like to pitch the starter when its at high krausen, meaning its fermenting very actively and ready to go right from the start. In that case, your yeast is pretty fresh, so you could setup the starter either the night before or two nights before. On the other hand, if you'd like to crash out your yeast after fermenting and decant the starter wort, you'll need to add another 1-3 days, depending on how flocculant the yeast strain is. With the yeast as fresh as it is, I wouldn't be surprised if it will ferment in one night, and definitely by the second night. Another day or two in the fridge should crash all the yeast out of solution so you can pour off the starter wort. Warm it back up before pitching and you should be ready to go!
I use 3/4 cup of dme for every 1 liter of water (preboil volume). That usually ends with about 750-800 ml final volume and about 1.045 gravity. I run my starters for 24-36 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm sure you can make an agreement with Autodesk to send datasets only to their US facilities... which will then send the data to their works-for-peanuts 'associates' on the Mainland (who will then CC the Central Comittee anything that looks interesting, IP or militarily speaking).
What terrible snark I have written; a corporation would never do the wrong thing just for the Almighty Yuan.
Thanks for bringing up this question - it is an important one. I am the Product Manager for Autodesk 360 (previously called Autodesk Cloud) and I'm hoping I can help to clarify the reason for the language in our terms of service and alleviate some of the concerns expressed in this thread. The primary reason for this language is to ensure we can offer services to you. These services need to use your data in various ways in order to function and without your permission our services would not be able to operate. It is also important to note that the terms of service limit the context in which we can use this data.
As a company we understand that our customer's data is important and we respect intellectual property (IP). We want to make sure you know that when you use Autodesk 360 or other cloud services from Autodesk, you own and control your own IP. The words in each of our terms of service governs your use of the services but I wanted to share some background with you about why we need the rights granted by you in these agreements. The specific terms are available here: www.autodesk.com/termsofservice
The use of Autodesk's cloud services involves your digital content and information which means Autodesk needs you to give us certain rights in order to provide these services. For example, the systems providing the services in the cloud need to do things like "display" "modify" "reproduce" and "transmit" your content and data as part of providing the services. Without the ability for us to do these things with your information and content, these cloud services could not function. Theagreements also limit our rights. For example, our rights in our Autodesk Cloud terms are limited to the context of providing, maintaining, repairing, protecting, organizing or otherwise administering the services and improving and modifying the services. The license is limited to this and its purpose is to make sure we can offer you these services.
More often than not in civil litigation the entity with the most money wins, regardless of what's right or wrong. Even if the terms didnt have that wording I still wouldnt trust sensitive IP to the cloud, VAR's or support teams.
I dont think they would give data away, but they can figure out your work flow and then put that into sales and training materials and effectively teach your competitors unique workflows that may have taken you years to perfect.
I have had an ex VAR use me as a reference when trying to sell Inv to a competitor. We are friends and I was standing next to him while the pitch was being made over the phone. I have also had VARs from other companies offer to disclose workflows from their clients to me to try and get me to switch to them. "We have company ABC as a client and know what your industry needs so we can get you up to speed very quickly" Some of them will say and do anything for a sale so be very carefull with your sensitive IP.

text: Why ads? On one hand, the Prius V's city/highway combined fuel economy rating of 42 mpg isn't as jaw-dropping as the regular Prius' 50-mpg rating. On the other hand, the new Prius-plus actually offers more cargo room than most compact crossovers, which typically top out at around 25 combined mpg. |
