What Is Happening With My Rig? (random lock ups)
NOTE! IT CAME BACK SO PLEASE ALSO TAKE NOTE OF THE SECOND POST ON THE SECOND PAGE (actually this whole thing cause I gave status as stuff was happening), I NEED HELP
I know this is long , but PLEASE! I can't figure this out. Not to mention I am on spring break and really need my computer to be working (have some work that has to b dneover break) Okay it started yesturday after I took my rig to a LAN party. I started up my computer, and happened to walk off to do something else. When I got back All I saw on my screen was a white line. It was maybe 1/3 of the screen width but was not in the center of the screen. I restarted my rig after a force shutdown, this time it logged in and all of a sudden at just a random time the lights on my USB keyboard and mouse just went off. I tried unplugging them and plugging them back in to no luck. Then all of a sudden (not right after plugging back in the USB devices) my system reset. The same as force shutting down and quickly turning the system back on. I had no clue what did it, the people around me thought it was a power issue, so I shut down my system and moved over to a new spot (new powerstrip and difference ethernet cable). I never had a problem the rest of the day Then today I went home (on spring break) and hooked up my computer. I remember turning on the system and it was all fine, it was until I hooked up my DSLR to transfer some photos that it locked up again (mouse and keyboard wouldn't respond, but if I recal right I could adjust the sensitivity on my mouse whic is a Logitech G500 and has sensitivty adjust on the mouse) Now I am pretty sure that I had to do a force shutdown, but on restart was able to hook up my DSLR, transfer the files, and disconncted it no problem. I then went on to play a videogames (APB, resource intensive game), at one point I alt tabbed out and was working on a movie in premier pro (both were running at the same time for along time). I also was on the web, and again no problem. I even compiled the video I was working on (on and Windows Media Player was open in the background to, was running a song at one point). The system then lcoked up when I was watching the video I made in Windows Media Player in fullscreen. I had watched the movie a few times before so this wasn't anything really new. The lock up occured when I was uploading a file on youtube, rapidshare. (I had some webpages opened, the game I was playing I had closed so it wasn't open, and premier pro was open.) Whenit locked up, the movie lagge up alittle, then froze. I tried to escape, pause, ext. It ended up playing a few more seconds of sound until it fully locked up (if I recall right I unplugged my mouse and keyboard since they stopped working, plugged them back in to get no lights out of them). I did a force shutdown and restart and that's when it all went to hell. The system kept locking up to the point where I have to force shutdown. I can't seem to find what's causing it on start up, for example program wise. I did a system restore, however the point to which I restored to doesn't have relation with when the events started (it was to installing Nvidia PhysX). Well that didn't fix it. Back when the problems started I tried running a Memory Diagnostics to find no errors. I tried disconnecting the internet, no luck. I thought it was Steam, no cause one time I told it not to connect (which usually closes it) and it seem to freeze up later on. I also checked device manager in safe mode to see something called Consumer IR Devices that gaveme an error code 31 (device not working properly). So I disabled it and then on a normal restart I checked the device manager to see it was still disabled and seemed to be the only problem in device manager (checked before the system locked up). I did a Boot Logging and the amount of drivers that didn't load is what makes me think that something is completely screwed up. I mean even one time thought I found the error to click Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then tried to open task manager and had it lock up. I have been able to run in safe mode no problems, even with networking ability. So right now I am running Malware bytes, and I plan to run Norton afterwards (if I can update it or if it is). I would like to point out that for atleast the last month maybe more, I get unhandle exceptions when I shutdown my compute (the programs I remember are UltraMon, and SetPoint II). Here's the ntbtlog, I return lines in the file where I see the list of drivers repeating. I need help, I have no clue what the to do. I also plan to set a system restore point and back up registry then use CCleaner and clean out the whole registry I gathered this ntbtlog.txt on a normal start up before the system locked up Attachment 144680 |

Well here are the files but the weird thing is right now the system is running well. Just recently I booted the system in normal mode, quickly pulled up task manager and closed all non essensial boot up stuff I knew of. I then created a restore point as well as ran these tools required and performance test. Afterwords I ran a tool that Norton brought up to do a one click fix thing (these occur if a system restore is done, which it was funny I did a system restore but later on I checked and it seemed like it didn't run so I have no clue there). Anyway when I tried to run the tool it locked up, I restarted the system after a hard shut down, and did all the same stuff such as the previous time, except that the Norton I did a live update and not the Norton tool. I hope this is a fix (we'll see) but here are the files
Attachment 144685 Windows 7 - x64 - The original was XP 64bit but I did a format, added Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (and since then have whipped the hard drive and installed it again) - Full Retail (it's a custom build) - My system hardware almost 3 years old (as of this June or July) except the video card which is around 2, PSU and motherboard are less then a year - This newest install of my OS was installed (after a format) in December EDIT: Nope never mind, was trying to create a new restore point and open the internet and it locked up again. I can change the sensitivty on my mouse still, but keyboard functions don't work. replugged in the USBs and tehy lost all there power EDIT: Update #2 after doing a CCLeaner registry clean I have gotten farther then I usually do, let's see how it runs |

First thing I would look at is this a heat issue. Are all the fan running in the system. 2nd, check and make sure you have all the updated drivers, video, sound and mobo. Also check and see if there is a new BIOS out for your mother board.
Also do you have a Antivirus program and scan for malware. |

Also do you have a Antivirus program and scan for malware. As for drivers I kind of updated them, I did the basic device mangager check for updated and nothing was found. I know my GPU is up to date I did it personally. As for BIOS I have never done that (I want o say I have heard it being risky, and that you should back up your machine which I can't cause I left my backup drive on campus) And as for Antivirus, I have Norton 360 fully up to date, it's a legal version, and has days left on my subscription (in otherwords it' a legal version I purchased). And I have the free version of Malware bytes (I ran that, last night after updating it and found no threats (in safe mode) and am running Norton right now (in the normal mode)). For now my system is running fine, as I stated above I ran CCleaner in safe mode and did the registry cleaner, where I fixed all the issues (which is usually just removing them) adid it 3 times to make sure all the items were removed (I did a system restore point before and have saved backups of the registry before each fix). Since I did that I was able to get the system to run okay. However I have only turned the system back on once since that clean (since I did the clean in safe mode I restarted after words in normal mode) and it has worked fine (well that and woke it up from sleep this morning). I still would like to see if people find anything, cause I am not sure if that could have fixed it or not |

Norton is known to cause issues on certain Windows 7 machines. If the problem persists I would uninstall norton and installed MSE

"Beautiful Place with Beautiful Views!" We used a Living Social voucher to stay at Christopher Place. They treated us as special as anyone else and gave us a great room (Margaret's). It had two sitting areas and dormers overlooking the view. I asked for a quiet room and being on the third floor met that need. The bed was luxurious and the linens were clean. The whole resort was well maintained. The breakfasts were great, but the special dinners were spectacular. Review the menus online and make a reservation before you go. - Wordsy, TripAdvisor Reviewer, 9.10.13 |
Mountain View Escapes ($195-$150)Each escape featuring a unique view of our beloved Smoky Mountains. Each of these rooms features a king or queen size bed. Additionally rooms may feature wood-burning fireplaces, courner spa tubs, or multi-jetted showers. |

Helping people change the way they think and act on energy
Giving energy advice
Appropriate energy advice is one of the keys to a sustainable future - and essential if we are to help people understand what they can do to improve the energy efficiency of our homes, offices and public buildings.
CSE has nearly thirty years' experience of giving energy advice both to householders and to organisations. All our advisors are trained to a high standard and committed to giving top-quality advice that leads to lower energy bills and warmer homes – and in some cases both.
If you are a householder seeking advice on how to save energy in your home, see our energy advice for householders microsite, or call us on 0800 082 2234 or 0117 934 1957 or check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/EnergySavingAdvice.
We work with partners such as local authorities and public-sector organisations to target our advice services on those households most in need. Click here for details of the local advice work (and other projects) we're working on with local authorities.
Energy advice leaflets and poster
We have also produced a suite of over 40 simple information sheets covering many aspects of domestic energy use from loft insulation to using your central heating controls, and secondary glazing to understanding your electricity bill
You can download CSE's energy advice leaflets from this page, or read them online on our 'Love Your Home' advice site.
Small quantities of printed leaflets are available for distribution in Bristol and Somerset, free to CSE's local partner organisations and community groups and at a small charge to local authorities, housing associations and similar organisations.
We can also provide bespoke versions to 'out of area' organistions. Drop us a line for details.
And here's a fun poster, based on the content of our 'tip-house'.
Out and about
If you want to meet us face to face, check out our energy advice diary to find out where we'll be (or check out our group photo!)
Finally, here is an example of how energy advice can improve people's lives. Firstly, what a householder told us when they first got in touch:
"The carpet in the lounge is very wet due to the condensation problems - which means that my house feels very cold and depressing - I try and go out as much as possible. It means that I am very unhappy at home and wish that I could move house."
And this is what they said a few weeks later:
"Since having the energy efficiency advice I now know how to use my night storage heaters and the house is now warm when I need it… the condensation is now manageable and I keep the door shut. I am much happier in the house."

My littlest angel was called home during the night. My first home made puppy to go to Doggy Heaven. I guess Wayne must have needed his little girl with him. Sleep in peace my beautiful Cricket. You are always in my heart. You are missed already. Love from Mom and your kin PS One more thing God, can I please have something wonderful happen next? Thank you in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
So sorry, Ginny. I know just how you feel. :'( |
Thank you Marcia. I know that many of us on the garden web are pet people as well as plant people and many know the pain of loss of one of our furkids. I guess it would have been ideal to not have this so close on the heals of the loss of my husband. :( However, I am just so blessed to have these beautiful animals in my life and even more blessed to know that I am so capable of loving them so much. :) Ginny |
Ginny, such a sweet looking dog and what an amazing coat on her ... I'm sorry for your sad loss. Terry |
Thanks Terry. I'm sorry you didn't have the opportunity to meet Cricket. She was the sweetest little angel. A complete joy to have around. I will miss her sooo much! Ginny |
Ginny, I hope that 2013 will bring joy and healing for you. Eventually, you will come out of your "valley" though. Please take care until then! |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Sun, Dec 9, 12 at 15:07
It's a sad situation for loving pet owners,..unfortunately, we all have to deal with it one day. Hopefully, the healing comes soon! |
Ginny so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you ((((HUG)))) I am glad the other fur children are there to give unconditional tail wags to help you through. We actually stayed home from church today because our fur child (Smidge) is sick she is 14 and I am sure has "C" she has had some up and down moments this year and I am glad we are getting some warning that it is coming soon. She has been extra cuddly lately I think she knows. However the good news is she still plays and doesn't seem to be in pain and her good days still outnumber her bad by far. Praying for wisdom if things change. |
Thank you Katie, Konrad, Cindy and everyone for your condolences and hugs. Very much needed and very much appreciated! :) It has been a challenging few months and most of it spent in tears. However, I know that "My heart will go on" and their memory has added volumes of love to my life. I will plant a lilac or rose bush in memory of Wayne and Cricket and with them both. :) Ginny |

I'm so sorry Ginny, she was beautiful and I know how much you will be missing her. :( |
Ginny, You've been in my thoughts since reading about your recent loss. My heart goes out to you. Life can be so cruel sometimes. I am relieved that you have other pets to help ease your pain. I hope 2013 is more kind to you. |
Thank you for all your kind words. Cricky is with Wayne now on top of my TV and in my heart still. She is missed by all and will always be my littlest angel. :) Ginny, Angel, Painter, Chloe and Jack |
Ginny our hearts and wishes go out to you.Having lost our setters and very recently my mom I can only begin to understand your loss. I`m sure your furry friends will help you thru as their love is never ending, May this new year bring you peace and brighter times Do take care Lois |

Atlantic Years Tour
Hi Lance, nothing sure yet but my management is working hard on making it possible to tour in the U.S. around May-June with the Atlantic Years Band. The program in South America was exclusively made of tunes from albums of the 70s and 80s.
and to answer BMB, a couple of ballet companies have used my music in the past, and as you noticed some of my pieces inspire some people to dance at my concerts, why not.

JLP's music and dance
I just came from my daughter's school dance recital (based on the novel "The Hunger Games", if you can believe that). Stunning choreography and performance. So...that led me to ponder what it would be like to see some of JLP's music performed along with dance. I think it would work very well. Come to think of it, at one concert in 2006, I saw a young lady come up to the front of the seating area and start dancing...it went on for several compositions, and no one seemed to mind.Dec 9, 2011 5:24pm -

Beautiful show in São Paulo
Tatiane da Cruz
São Paulo Brazil
The adorable Jean-Luc Ponty, my husband and I would like to thank you so much, not only for all those years with excellent songs and the gorgeous show that we had the pleasure to watch, but, also, for your wonderful simpathy. After the show, on November 23rd, at the moment that you talked to us, with great attention, it was simply magical! We loved to have your autograph and take some pictures, by the way, you was so smiling in my pictures! You know that your songs are the theme of our lives, mainly "Forms of Life" and "I Only Feel Good with You". Once again thank you very much for all and, please, come back to Brazil in the next year!Dec 2, 2011 12:52am -
Just a thank you
Sergio Libanori
São Paulo Brasil
Jean-Luc Ponty is a genius. I honor you as such. There are no words to describe his music and his talent. Is the supreme bliss ! "Mirage" is the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life. When I hear "Mirage" I go into ecstasy. With this song Jean-Luc Ponty immortalized his music. Congratulations, Jean-Luc Ponty for his talent, good taste and sensitivity. I am a big fan of Brazil. I was in his last show in Sao Paulo, on 23/11/2011. God bless you:)Nov 29, 2011 6:45pm -
Extraordinaire, superb show (once again!) in São Paulo.
Newton Sgobbi
São Paulo SP Brazil
Dear Mr Ponty, November 23rd night was magic. That was the 3rd time I came to see you & always fantastic set of musicians. Words escape me. Nothing less than brilliant, I thought I had seen your best shape but fortunately, I was wrong and this is today ! I regarded the concert to a long last friend as a birthday giftand he got also amazed & speechless. Only the absolutely essential on stage: master musicians, fine musical pieces, right technology, adequate sound pressure, respect to audience, emotion. Thank you very much & long life.Nov 29, 2011 6:08pm

Reviewed Orzo Salad
Jun 8, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Absolutely love this recipe! I have been making this salad for several years now, after I first saw Giadia make it.
I do doctor the dressing up by adding a little mayonnaise, to make it a bit creamier. It's perfect when made the day before and left to rest overnight - and goes so well with grilled chicken, salmon, or kabobs!

The Niagara 1812 Bicentennial Legacy Council was created in August of 2007, as a cross-border non-profit organization to increase public awareness and participation in the Bicentennial. The Bicentennial will mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and the 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States that followed.
The Legacy Council is made up of bi-national Board of Directors composed of persons associated with leading Niagara institutions.

It takes calm, cool collection to keep one of the Caribbean's finest golf courses humming, and Four Seasons Resort Nevis has the right man for the job. Appointed Head Golf Professional in 1998, Bruce Wilson oversees the renowned Robert Trent Jones II course as well as the design and execution of instructional programs, clinics, tournaments and events that add up to the Resort's signature experience. "Everybody dreams of working at spectacular course like this – my dream just happened to come true," says Wilson, a Class A PGA-certified professional who has faced down two hurricanes since arriving in Nevis, as well as the needs of a roller coaster terrain cluttered with sugar mill ruins, lush rainforest foliage and green vervet monkeys swinging through the treetops.
Whatever the daily demands, Wilson's main focus is on creating an atmosphere that encourages play. "We really go out of our way to give guests an experience that makes them feel like they're at their own course," he says, noting that little things like recognizing guests and accommodating requests large and small creates an atmosphere more like a private club than a public course. It's a talent Wilson acquired at Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, where, as Associate Golf Pro for seven years, he taught at the golf school and managed tournament operations, including the annual Byron Nelson Championship, a PGA Tour event.
Wilson's passion for the world's most frustrating game began as a kid growing up in Colorado where his father was an avid amateur golfer. Though he got "pretty good pretty quickly," it wasn't until he joined the golf squad at Fort Lewis College in Durango that Wilson thought he might be able to make a career out of the sport. "I spent more time coaching than the coach did," he recalls. "Little did I know that I knew next to nothing about correcting a golf swing."
He certainly knows plenty about it these days. Rather than work on the compensation moves golfers typically use to cover their weaknesses, Wilson says he looks for the root cause of a poor swing – from taking the club too far outside to not turning the shoulders on the take away. "My life as an instructor got a whole lot easier once I realized the 'root' is the key."
Beyond adjusting their swing technique, Wilson's advice to course golfers is simply "don't get flustered" – particularly on "scary" holes like 15, a par 5 that runs more than 600 yards from the Resort's highest point but plays much shorter because it's all downhill. "The best strategy is to swing easy and let the topography help you."

RdlR Architects is pleased to announce our recent success in the 2012 AIA Houston Design Award, Texas Society of Architects Design Award, and Contract Magazine's Inspiration Award for socially responsible design! RdlR Architects was recognized for our innovative renovation work on the Houston Food Bank, which revitalized an old Sysco Co. warehouse, transforming it into the nation's largest charitable food distribution center.
The design judges were impressed by RdlR's inventive use of the warehouse's existing structures, using color, paneling and partitions to create vibrant spaces within spaces. The use of bright colors and super-graphic design elements brought life, light and hope to the old building while highlighting the Houston Food Bank's unique place and mission within the Greater Houston Area.
The new facility includes a volunteer center, community rooms and a cafe to make the volunteering experience more enjoyable and lure people back on a regular basis; and serve as a launching point for more community projects and volunteerism.
HFB supports a network of nearly 500 food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and other agencies, feeding a total of 137,000 people each week.

An uneventful mascara. I purchased the brown one and rushed home to try it out with high hopes. Unfortunately it didn't live up to any of my expectations. Granted my lashes didn't clump but they weren't lenghthened or added any extra volume either. It gave a very natural look that I could have achieved with products half the price.
This is a good mascara for lengthening and thickening, but it's not worth it's price. It does the same thing as CG's Lash Exact but it costs about 3x as much. This isn't as buildable as other mascaras which is why I don't give it a 5/5, but it is a nice mascara overall.
I bought this after a friend told me it was the best mascara she's ever used. I have tried just about every mascara in search of the perfect one, and thought that this might just be it! But, sadly, I ended up very disappointed by this mascara. It took all the curl out of my lashes and left them a dry, brittle, flaky, clumpy mess. It is exactly the same brush as CoverGirl LashExact. For some reason I expected it to be better because it was Chanel, but it just didn't do it for me. I took this back and got my $27.50 back.
I have been using this mascara for over a year. It does a fantastic job separating and lengthening my lashes. It is definitely more expensive than I would like, but I find that it is worth it. I had never used an eyelash curler until recently, and I can't say that I notice a difference in that regard. I am not sure if the curl should be enhanced by the mascara. I think I just have the sort of eyelashes that will always stick straight out. This is by far the best mascara I have found.
So for the price.. and the reviews.. I was expecting magic. So I did my usualy makeup routine.. and curled my lashes.. and put on the imitable mascara... and it brought my curl down! It really really sucked, after applying the mascara.. and looking into the mirror.. I couldn't even see my lashes.. because the mascara made my eyelashes just stick straight out! My Wal-mart Maybelline mascara works soo much better, and does not take away my curl!!
For a mascara junkie like myself, I'm rather surprised (and dismayed) at how good this mascara applies, wears, and lenghthens my lashes. It hits on all the major points that I want in a mascara - lengthens, defines, no smudges, no flakes, holds a curl. And I don't need to use a lash comb after using this mascara which saves me time as well. The only teensy gripe is that it's not as thickening, well I need to coat my lashes about 4 -5 times to get that voluminous feathery lashes look. So it does thicken but it takes some work. I'm "dismayed" because this mascara is so darn expensve and I hate spending money on mascara. Thank goodness my Chanel counter is very nice to me and gives me lots of samples :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can't believe that I've never reviewed this product! I first purchased it last year, when it was initially released. I got the black color. After the obligatory 2-3 months, I tossed it and tried some other mascaras... then, when I saw that it was voted as "Best Mascara" in the ALLURE Best of Beauty 2007, I decided to have another stab at it.
As others have described, this is Chanel's effort at the rubber-bristled brush. It works pretty well at separating the eyelashes, and does lengthen quite a bit. However, to build thickness, I have to use 2-3 coats. The black is a nice, bright black (not gray or ashy like some other brands.) And the packaging is nice and simple (black rectangular plastic with gold trim).
I did take off a lippie, because despite Chanel's claims that this "curls," I find that it does deflate my Shu Uemura-induced curl a bit. Also, it does start to dry out a little after 2 months, so if you're one of those people who like to keep mascara for longer than that, it might be a problem.
Overall, for the price ($27.50 USD), it's not a HG product, but I do like it, and would (and already did!) purchase it again.
For reference, I have short, sparse Asian lashes.
UPDATED 10/20/08 - The SA at Lord & Taylor gave me a sample of this, so I decided to try again. Although it gave me pretty lashes, it was SO darn flaky! I used 2 coats and literally had like 25 black flakes all over my cheekbones by lunchtime. Argh!!! I lowered my rating to 3 and said I would NOT repurchase. continued >>
I have kindly been given about three of these samples each time I have made big purchases at the Chanel counter. I really like it. Its nothing groundbreaking or amazing, just a GOOD, reliable mascara. I think it gives a very 'clean' sleek finish to my lashes. No smudging or flaking eiether. Will purchase at some stage.
I received a sample of this product from Instyle Magazine. This mascara is amazing. I find that it lives up to all of its claims except volumize - hence it lengthens, seperates and curls. The only downside is that it sometimes smudges a tiny bit onto the bottom of my eye, but that is easily fixed with a 1-tip. I'll definately be purchasing this full size when my sample runs out. 4 lippies.
love this mascara! separates the lashes very nicely. the black is nice and dark. formula's long wearing, w/o raccoon eyes at the end of the day. i can actually wear this w/o the shiseido mascara base and it'll still hold the curl. it looks better w/o the base for some reason too. the only thing i don't love about it is the price

Winner of the VMobile LoadXtreme BMW Raffle Promo
They said that if you want to have your own car, you need to work hard for it, but not for VMobile LoadXtreme. Last July 31, Team Peewee conducted a promo for every Technopreneur and new members that will allow them to have their own BMW car – it's the VMobile Philippines' BMW Raffle Promo.
All you have to do is to endorse VMobile to another person who will get a 3D Fast Track Package and you will already get a raffle ticket – 1 for the endorser and 1 for the new member. On September 8, Team Peewee will be drawing the winner and one lucky member will be able to take home a BMW car. There were at least 600 tickets to be drawn and I have 10 entries for this promo, but unfortunately, I was not as lucky as Noemi Ruiz.
VMobile LoadXtreme Raffle Promo Result
Noemi Ruiz joined VMobile three weeks ago and doesn't even have anyone under her team. She bought a 3D Fast Track Package, meaning she only has one ticket for the raffle. My chances of winning the BMW car was 10 times higher than her chances, but guess she's really that lucky to have her ticket number picked. Well, raffles are not based on the number of entries that you have, but rather your luck during the time of the raffle.
If you are going to ask every Technopreneur, who were able to buy their own car, how much they've bought their car, they'll answer you that it only cost them P3,988, but Noemi Ruiz can tell you that she got her BMW car – through VMobile LoadXtreme – just by spending P11,964; literally. Not everyone can win the raffle, and yes, I felt frustrated for not winning the raffle, but that's just how it is. I guess I'll be able to have my own car through VMobile using my own earnings in this business.

I have a S.caradonna that is about 4 or 5 years old. It grows beautifully and then when we have a heavy rain it falls. It was doing so good this year, then it collapsed. Yesterday evening we had more heavy rains and it looks even worse today. Is this normal for salvia (caradonna). Is there something I can do to prevent from happening next year? If in early spring I pinch it back will that give it more support, when it blooms? |

If by collapse, you mean that it has flattened out, but that thee is no wilting of leaves, this is fairly normal after heavy rains and/or winds. I'd be more concerned if the leaves are no longer turgid, since that would mean the roots are dying. That would indicate that the plants need raised beds. |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 5:49
No, it is not dying. Very healthy plant. Yes it flattened out, so there is nothing you can do to keep it from happening. It is very pretty when the stems are all erect and not laying out. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 23:25
The weather has a lot to do with this. I grew East Friesland in Massachusetts in the 70s, and it was pretty compact, but did occasionally flatten, especially in years when the nights were hotter because of higher humidity. The species that make up this hybrid are all alpine species that like cool nights That's one reason why I don't do many of these sages in subtropical North Carolina. |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Sat, Jun 15, 13 at 7:19
I wonder if a 'grow through plant support', would work. But that wouldn't be till next spring. Thanks Rich |
I agree that a plant support would help. I have several that are a large circle with a large grid-pattern in the center; and ohters that are also a circle with several increasingly smaller circles inside. |
I have beds with S. Blue Hill, S. May Night, and S. Cardonna - dozens of the things mixed up - and every year, they all decide to flatten out about the same time - like yesterday. So it seems to be the nature of the plant. I just leave them alone for a few more weeks. The flower stems bend up, they continue to flower and look 'ok' - then sometime in July it gets hot, most of the flowering stops, I use pruning shears to dead-head and cut them back. They will re-flower, on a much smaller scale, all summer long. I think its the nature of the beast. I didn't know that about sage and cool nights. We grow the heck out of sage - Russian Sage, Pitchers Blue Sage, etc. around here, and the nights are down in the 40's most the summer long. |
- Posted by stephanie_kay 5a IL (My Page) on Mon, Jun 17, 13 at 6:39
Westelle, I think I am going to buy a couple with the grid going through them today while I am out so I don't forget them for next spring. David, beautiful photo, that is really nice. I guess I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't that the caradonna was at the front of my garden, the main sidewalk is only about 3 feet away and I have smaller plants in front, which now the caradonna is covering. |

No one should begrudge a band that wants to re-form. Why condemn musicians for wanting to earn money from songs they wrote, by playing them to people who want to hear them? Nevertheless, there is dignity in the restraint displayed by Led Zeppelin when they quashed fans' hopes that a much trailed announcement might be a reunion tour – it turned out to be a DVD of their only full show since their split, the tribute to their mentor Ahmet Ertegun in 2007. That show was the model of a perfect reunion: it was not to swell already swollen coffers; it enabled the band's surviving members to restate their musical legacy without it having to overshadow the rest of their lives all over again; and the fact it was just a single show meant their status as one of rock's one-offs was not sullied by familiarity. Led Zeppelin knew in the 1970s that reticence could be a virtue – hence their no-singles, no-TV rule. Evidently, they still do.

Is there such a thing as an enameled cast iron sink with a large single bowl (at least 25") plus a drainboard? If I could design my perfect sink that would be it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The Sandford sink is a reproduction of the old-fashioned cast iron drainboard sinks. The total width is 42", but the sink well is less than 25" wide. |
I saw a fireclay one that looks really nice and is the right size, but I wasn't sure about the fireclay material and it's durability. I have had great experiance with my current Kohler enameled cast iron sink, so I was trying to stick with that material. |
- Posted by pentimento (My Page) on Tue, Sep 3, 13 at 11:36
This sideboard kitchen cast iron sink from DEA Bath has a basin that's 17 by 24 inches, so not quite 25 inches which is what you said you were looking for, but it may be close enough for you. It's the one at the top of the page when you follow the link below. |

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.

Motorcade arrived at the first fundraiser at 12:33pm after an uneventful 30-minute ride.
As motorcade left the airport some people were in the parking lot outside the Museum of Flight trying to catch a glimpse.
Once across the 520 floating bridge there were some people gathered outside a Circle K. Along the residential streets people were outside their homes standing curbside, observing, waving, taking photos. There were a couple welcoming signs and two women held a large American flag. Some kids had a homemade banner that said "Welcome President Obama" and a young boy had a sign that said "Pres. Obama we love and support you"
A "Democratic official" in the press van passes along some details of the Seattle fundraisers on background:
There are 2 events. Both benefit the Obama Victory Fund, which goes to DNC and POTUS's re-election campaign. The first event is a brunch at the Medina home of Jon Shirley, a former Microsoft executive. Tickets cost $35,800 a couple. The campaign is expecting 100 people to attend.
The 2nd event is an event at Paramount Theater. Tickets start at $100, and campaign expects at least 800 people to attend. Entertainment is Robert Cray. Also former NBA players Bill Russell and Lenny Wilkens will be there.
Pool didn't see POTUS enter but walked past some interesting yard art, including a gigantic upside down open safety pin with a cherry red clasp. Pool is holding in a big three car garage at Mr. Shirley's house waiting for POTUS remarks, which are print pool only.

Shoe Demos and Sale
The Moccasym™ is THE top-selling slipper. It is a training shoe, a thin-crack shoe, and perfect for long bouldering sessions. We have made an über-version of the Moccasym™ with a split toe rand guaranteed to improve your footwork in cracks.
A revolutionary rock shoe developed specifically for bouldering. Whatever technical problem the rock presents, the "Solution" rock shoe gives you the support you need with the most innovative technology to overcome the boulder move. The upper uses Lock Harness System® technology, which hugs the foot from the inside and combines with the unique deep heel-cups to ensure maximum flexibility when hooking, on incuts and overhangs. The randing system P3® (Permanent Power Platform) is the active part of the shoe which gives it its versatility and works in synergy with the base of the foot to spread and maintain tension through time. The innovative Fast Lacing System® combined with the tongue in elasticized fabric ensures optimal adjustment of the internal volume.
"The" technical climbing shoe, inspired by the Mirage project. The optimum combination between synthetic and natural materials is the ideal compromise between comfort and technicality. With the internal lining only in the toe and the heel, it combines the breathability and comfort of leather with the precision and inalterability of the lined shoe. The rand system (patent pending) is an active feature of the shoe and distributes the plantar tension in a progressive way. The new asymmetrical lacing system allows the personalized adjustment of the internal volume. The forefoot midsole implant, allows a 'better wrapping' of the plantar arch and the heel.
TC Pro
A climbing shoe devised for long mountain routes and cracks: its technical features make this model an complete newcomer to the market! TC Pro guarantees maximum comfort even after several hours thanks to the soft internal padding at the ankle and back. Features include high cut uppers designed to protect the ankle from rubbing against cracks. The front rubber rand offers further protection in the cracks, while the lacing system to the toe has been studded to protect the laces against rock fiction. The uppers and tongue are extremely breathable which enhances comfort. TC Pro uses the P3 patent system, designed to maintain the arched shape of the shoe even after continued use. The sole, made from the new Vibram® compound, reduces deformation on small and sharp cutting holds.
Evolv Sports
Chris Sharma's favorite all-around performance shoe for sending the world's hardest climbs. The Pontas is an excellent bouldering, sport, and gym shoe with superior edging power.
- Designed for focusing and delivering power to the toe
- Non-stretch material for consistent performance
- Extended toe rand for toe hooking
The Prime
This is the 4th shoe in the Sharma Signature Series, the Optimus Prime has a hook and loop closure system for a precise, secure fit and is built with a Trax oval grid across the toe providing high performance when toe hooking and steep climbing.

NAGPUR: A day before the hearing, lawyers representing the accused in Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank's (NDCCB) Rs 150 crore fraud case, had exuded confidence that nothing would happen in this matter. As the case once again came up before the court on Tuesday, they proved to be right.
Despite strict directions in the previous hearings, all the 11 accused were not present for the hearing, which eventually delayed the framing of charges, without which the case cannot move further. One of them, Subodh Bhandari, moved an application which simply read that he could not attend the hearing as he was not well and hence an exemption from personal application be granted in the 'interest of justice'. Unlike earlier applications even the ailment was not mentioned leave aside having a medical certificate backing the claim attached. The application was accepted as it was noted exemption granted only for this hearing.
Bhandari is one of the brokers through whose firm the cooperative bank's money was routed to be invested, in government securities. The securities were never purchased neither did the bank get back the funds.
Congress MLA from Saoner Sunil Kedar, the main accused, was present though. Along with him came the alleged mastermind Sanjay Agrawal of M/s Home Trade. For the latter it was coming back to Nagpur after a decade when he was produced in the same court. But it was of no avail for the prosecution as the proceedings passed on to just another date - October 1. Among the others present were Mahendra Agrawal, Ketan Sheth, Sriprakash Poddar, Suresh Peshkar.
As a smiling Agrawal walked out of the court, he told he was in Kolkata these days. He along with two others was fined Rs 100 each for non-appearance.
His application said that he could not attend the hearings as he was being tried in different states across the country and was in jail till February 2012 and could not attend the previous hearing on July 3, as he had to appear before the CBI court on the same date.
In another move, which is likely to further delay the proceedings, Mahendra Agrawal moved an application to get a copy of the charge-sheet translated in Hindi as he does not understand Marathi in which the document is drafted. Strangely the charge-sheet was filed in 2002 itself, and it is now that this accused has realized that he needs to get a copy in the language he knows. Till then he also wants an exemption from appearance.
(take as inset)
It is not the Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank (NDCCB) alone which Sanjay Agrawal's M/s Home Trade is charged of duping. The company is alleged of garnering similar amounts from various banks across the country only to be stashed away, In Maharashtra itself, district central cooperative banks in Wardha and Osmanabad have lost Rs 25 crore and 30 crore respectively to this firm apart from almost similar funds being taken from Pune's Jangli Maharaj Bank during 2001 to 2002. Apart from the cooperative banks, Home Trade is also being tried for swindling Rs 90 crore from Seamen's Provident Fund.
A defence lawyer boasted that the geographical spread of the cases itself will act in Agrawal's favour. The hearings in different cases often overlap, due to which Agarwal and other brokers have to miss the attendance in some court or other. They hope that due to the same reason there will be a tardy progress in the NDCCB case too.
"It is just a criminal case with recovery of funds lost, not being matter in consideration. There are all the chances that Agrawal may still walk away even after being acquitted, as he may have already spent enough time in custody so as to compensate for the jail term ruled by the court," said a lawyer representing one of the accused.

For 'em! Mostly...
My info: 6'4", 200 lbs. 10 years riding.
Got in an 11.5!
Well, I purchased these after I exploded my 2012 K2 Maysis. I usually go for a mid-stiff, do everything boot - this delivers.
Packing these boots out was pretty rough, but now that it's over, these feel real nice. The shrinkage on these is nuts! Makes my feet look like baby feet. These boots are nice and supportive, but...
I hate the speed lacing. Can't get them how I want them. If I'm screwing around in the park and want a looser fit, I can't get it without it feeling "too loose." So I usually just crank down on the laces, and still have to do it probably about 2 more times throughout the day.
TLDR; Supportive boot with a small footprint, but uggghhhhh... the speed lacing sucks!

We need to create a Group which Goal is to share our experience on brand new protocol IPv6 & Make pressure to our Government to take step to connect Bangladesh with IPv6 network via IIGW(s).
Ahamed Bauani
1. Thanks to GlobalVoice in English, to Cover the Issue of IPv6 status in Bangladesh
2. Thanks for your support to spreed the concern to make both Government Own IIGW (BTCL), Privately Own IIGW (Mango Teleservices) has sufficient equipment to support IPv6 Routing, Only need it to enable and Manage.
Upstreams like Tata Communication in India or SingTEL in Singapore is currently major gateway of Bangladesh to Internet World. The Seabone in Italy is another gateway where major EU traffic pass through has IPv6 Support. So, why not BTCL or Mango Teleservices is creating BGP Peer with them to connect IPv6 Network?

Yes...I'm a Shadow Ho!!! I can't afford the high-end brands, but by golly I can afford Wet 'n' Wild - and their quality is incredible!!! This is one of two LE e/s Trios in the summer "Here Comes the Sun" collection; Beach Babe is the warm trio of the two. A cute brushed silver case with a clear top, the shadows are in teardrop shapes; two large and the highlighter is smaller (and there's an adorable but useless teeny sponge applicator). These shimmery-smooth shadow shades are: a rich, deep copper-bronze (the same in both trios?), a golden copper, and a bright silvery white. Not at all glittery, just smooth high-shine shimmer. I love these on my brown eyes. This is the trio to wear with warm golden-bronze lips and cheeks. Beautiful too with W&W's Totally Twisted Bronzzer stick in Suntan applied over a nice peach blush, gel or other. Wonderful way to make up a lovely summer face!

Did we every show up with a live bunch of hotties for this party. The pussy was flashing right off the bat. The tits and smiles were big and bright. The bodies didn't stop moving to the beats all night. Kennedy had a very sexy fuck me any time any place look that could stop a guys heart in a second. Brannon had the ability to overcome such sexy powers and gave her the fucking she was looking for. Esmi attacked pretty much every girl in site. She loved the pussy as much as the cock. When her mouth was full of cock, she buried her face in pussy and sucked on some tits. By the end of the night, a good number of girls were naked and kneeling before Brannon for his load.

Ganging Up on Gratitude
These are days of strange alliances in evil. That is what evil has always done. Remember how Pilate and Herod were adversaries until their common abuse of Jesus knit them together? "Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other" (Luke 23:12).
That's the way it is with the bishop and the atheist. They are united in blasting the power of God and the cross of Christ as putting poor Christians in the pitiful position of permanent gratitude.

I was wondering if someone might give me some advice on bidding on commercial jobs. This is a small company just starting out and we're starting to receive plans on some commercial jobs. When calling around for our wholesale price on trees/plants/palms what is the protocol for pricing to the customer, for instance how do most of you decide what to charge, do you double the price of the item? Do you just add a small percentage on? I realize that you have to factor delivery charges and such if they are there but just need some basic advice on what the general rule of thumb might be for pricing the job and how much to add on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance. |

Be aware that commercial work is a rough business. You have to be very savvy about reading and understanding plans and specifications.There are some contractors who have made an art out of low bidding to take advantage of lack of information in a plan. Then they point out short comings as the job goes along and mention that it is not in the contract. They write up change orders and in the end the job costs more than the highest bidder. If you are bidding on work as a sub, be aware that ou may expect the site conditions to be a certain way only to find that you need to bring it fill or remove it before you get to the point of what you expected at the beginning. Not all are like that, but don't assume this work to be the same as residential. The toughest thing is that there will be a million other subs working (and parking) all over the site until the last day. You won't have the luxury of waiting for them to clear out.You will have to work around them. The GC won't care about your work so long as something else is more of a priority. Be careful. |
I haven't done that many commercial jobs, mostly for the reasons laag mentions. It's absolutely true; I've had to put plants in while the irrigation guys were coming up behind me, pulling up what I just planted! They'll leave the plant on the sidewalk because it's not their job to replant it. I don't do that type of job anymore; I've focused on residential with some small commercial jobs (coffee shop, local non-profit, etc.). Much more workable for me, and less stress! |

First things first, price the job based on what you need to make for wages, material, overhead and a slightly reduced profit margin. Make sure to read the specs provided, and not just those in the landscape section. Find out if you must have union labor or pay prevailing wage. Do you need any special insurance or bonding? Review the plans closely, and do not rely on plant counts provided. Count everything yourself. After you provide your proposal follow-up to see if you got the job, and if not why. Most gc's will tell you what everyone came in at. |

My friend just bought over 200,000.00 in Commercial Landscaping Equipment and had a guy that said he could operate the equipment and bid the jobs. However we have invested over 5G in advertisement and leads, and have recieved a couple of leads that would cover all investment cost and still have a large profit. It would appear that the guy either doesn't really know how to bid or just doesn't want to. So I am trying to find out what people do I need to contact in order to have these leads bid upon and the equipment actually working instead of sitting. |

I've been trying to graft scions onto some apples trees I have with very limited success so am wondering if Iam doing it right.I make a t cut and insert a small piece of another apple tree into it.I have cut the small branch on a slant and insert it.Heres where I am confused,do you cut the outside layer right to the wood and insert it between the wood and outside bark layer or do you leave a little soft tissue inside against the wood and then insert the scion between this and the remainder of the bark on the outside? I know Iam supposed to contact the cambium layer bud do I leave some inside and some outside the scion? Hope this makes sense. |

>>I have cut the small branch on a slant and insert it<< Many make it like this but not finished, 2 side cut's are important when bark grafting to get good cambium contact, see first picture. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Konrad's modified bark grafting
thanks Konrad,so make the slant cut then square of the sides a small bit ,then slip in behind the tee cut. When you make your tee cut do you cut right to the wood or do you leave a little bit of soft tissue on the main trunk and slip between that and the bark. |
For a bark graft you should due it when the sap is flowing and the bark slips. If I understand what you are saying you should cut all the way to the wood. The bark should then peel back easily at the cambium layer. So there will be cambium on the underside of the bark and on the outside of the woody area. |

It sort of sounds like you are trying to slip a scion into the bark of an untrimmed limb or trunk...like adding a brach? I forget the name of that graft but it is not very common in apple and a bit tricky to do. Not a graft I would suggest for your initial attempts. Also you can't use a "small branch", just a small piece of a small branch (the scion) and it should only have 1-3 budds on it. That approach is more common with just inserting one bud removed off a scion into the T cut, and that usually gets done in summer (budding) If that is what you trying, you will need to modify the scion more as Konrad suggests, scraping or shaving the sides, and also likely cutting a another slope on the opposite side of the scion to assure that the cambiums not only touch but actually have some degree of overlap. There are many many types of grafts. My first suggestion would be to do an image search for fruit tree grafting, The most common are : Any graft that requires you to separate or lift the bark (only some do) needs to be done when the bark is "slipping". The bark and the bulk of the cambium will lift off the true wood below. |

Yeah..right down to the wood. |

12 Oscar Facts That Might Surprise You
This Sunday, an estimated 700 million viewers from around the globe will be watching the 86th Academy Awards and wondering if Amy, Cate, Meryl, Judi, or Sandra will bring home the gold. Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, the show will be broadcast live from the 3,400 seat Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
The very first Oscars ceremony was held in the Blossom Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on May 16, 1929. Back then, the awards were presented before 270 people who paid $5 each for tickets. There was no suspense factor, because the winners had been announced three months before.
Over the years, the Oscars have provided some truly cool moments, like when 73-year-old Jack Palance did one-armed push-ups. Or when Sally Field declared "You really like me!" How about the time when Sylvester Stallone and Muhammad Ali did a bit of friendly sparring, after Ali declared, "You stole my script." And then there was the 12-minute standing ovation that a weeping Charlie Chaplin received in 1972 when he got an honorary Oscar. Things can get exciting in front of the cameras.
So imagine what happens away from the cameras! There have been some equally memorable moments. Just ask Anjelica Huston. Check out these interesting Academy Award moments that you might not know about.

The BR725 is the most advanced member of the BR700 engine series. Its advanced technology and outstanding performance levels enable a whole new class of business jets.
The 16,900lb thrust BR725 engine powers Gulfstream's new flagship corporate jet – the G650.
The BR725 combines proven features from the BR700 and Trent engine families with new technologies derived from ongoing Rolls-Royce 'Vision' technology acquisition programs.
Compared with its highly successful predecessor, the BR710, the BR725 is more powerful, has 4 percent better specific fuel consumption and shows 21 percent improvement in NOx emissions.
- Entry into service in 2012 as the sole powerplant for the Gulfstream G650
- Designed for long life on wing, low fuel burn and excellent environmental performance
- Based on the successful BR700 family with over seven million hours of operation
- Built by the leading engine supplier for business jets
- Supported by the industry-leading Rolls-Royce CorporateCare engine management service
The 50-inch diameter fan is made up of 24 "swept" titanium blades for improved aerodynamic efficiency and lower noise. Its weight was optimized by incorporating composite fan outlet guide vanes, a single piece nose cone and a solid titanium fan case. The new, all-composite nacelle has a new inlet cowl to house the larger fan. The nacelle diameter is the same size as on the BR710.
Five stages of blisks optimize the weight of the BR725 high-pressure compressor, while 3D aero optimization and the introduction of elliptical leading edges lead to higher efficiency. The BR725 combustor is based on proven BR715 design, which is renowned for its low emissions and long life. The high-pressure turbine features two shrouded stages and profiled end walls. Via active tip clearance control cruise fuel burn can be improved.
The BR725 received type certification from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in December 2009. The certification covers a thrust rating of 16,900lbf (75.2 kN) and follows certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in June 2009.
- The BR725 features a 50 inch diameter swept fan with 24 blades driven by a three-stage, low-pressure turbine, for improved flow, increased efficiency, reduced noise and lower emissions
- Ten-stage high-pressure compressor incorporates the latest aerodynamic improvements and stages of blisks for improved performance and optimized weight
- New combustor design provides significantly lower emissions
- The two-stage shrouded high-pressure turbine uses advanced aerodynamic design and latest material for high efficiency, enhanced performance retention and longer life
- New high-efficiency thrust reverser system for increased reverse thrust and lower drag
- All new composite nacelle for higher flow

A while ago I saw an auction on eBay offering a photograph dated 1708. That was intriguing enough, since I had not been aware that the art of photography predated the nineteenth century. But what was even more intriguing was that the people in the photograph were dressed in the fashions of the early 1900s. Obviously what was on offer here was an actual photograph of time travelers, a couple who had probably borrowed Mr. Wells' time machine and gone on a sightseeing tour two hundred years into the past.
Now that I know that photography was in use as far back as the early 1700s, I'm convinced that there must be even more striking images out there waiting to be found. Surely the photographers of those days took the trouble to document the great figures of their time at the decisive moments of their careers.
Just for one example, I'd love to have a snapshot of Thomas Jefferson sitting down at his old Remington to bang out the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson would have used one of those cumbersome understroke machines, the kind where you have to lift the carriage to see what you've just typed, but I'll bet he could get going at a pretty good clip once he got started. Getting started is always the hard part, though, as any writer will tell you. I imagine the picture would show him surrounded by crumpled rejects ("Every once in a while it seems like a good idea…"; "When, every once in a while, it seems like a good idea…"; "When, in the course of this and that…"; "When, in the course of human eveb oh DANG").
I'd also like to have a photograph of Napoleon, fresh from his conquest of the Soviet Union, stepping off the plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport with his mistress Britney by his side. He'd be standing in front of a forest of old-fashioned microphones, getting ready to give his first interview to the newsreel reporters.
But most of all I'd like to have a snapshot of my hero Dr. Johnson carefully enunciating a bon mot into his friend Boswell's Dictograph. That would be a sentimental favorite with me.
All right, so I've had my fun at the expense of some innocent person whose only sin was in not knowing as much about the history of photography as I do. I ought to be ashamed of myself. Obviously, what really happened is that someone misread the date 1908 as 1708. What's my point?
My point is this: that there was a very big difference between the technology and the styles of 1708 and of 1908. But here's someone who's obviously educated (the words were all spelled correctly and organized into well-constructed sentences, and the punctuation was unobjectionable) and quite capable of dealing with complex computer transactions, yet that person has no idea of the historical context that allows me to deduce so easily that the date was 1908.
I bring this up because I think the lack of historical context is the great intellectual epidemic in Western culture. (Some Eastern cultures have exactly the opposite problem: a lively sense of historical context that keeps up grudges from thousands of years ago.) You and I would be able to look at a photograph and tell right away that it didn't come from 1708. Even if we didn't know when photography was invented, we know that the somber suits of 1908 were very different from the colorful tights of 1708.
This lack of historical context—a sense of where things fit in history—is exactly what makes things like The Da Vinci Code possible. (You knew I'd blame Dan Brown evenetually.) It's why The Grail Code takes a different approach from many of the books written in direct response to Dan Brown. Trying to refute every one of the historical revisionists' assertions makes one feel a bit like a little Dutch boy trying to hold back the North Sea with his finger. But when you know the whole story—the whole outline of how the legends of the Holy Grail developed—then when you see that there's just no room for the odd ideas of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and all its derivatives, including The Da Vinci Code. They just don't fit anywhere in history. It's the context that makes us good judges of what's true and what's false.
