Posted by Needs Help on Monday, January 24, 2011 at 1:51pm.
What is LMN? For example, is this a line segment, triangle, or ?
How did you get 45.75?
You need to post a better explanation.
Think of it like this. If you knew absolutely nothing about this problem could you solve it with just the info you posted?
LMN is a Line segment and MO bisect. So it looks like the letter "V" but with a line straight through the middle going up and down.
I agree with "helper".
I cannot figure out what you mean by
LMO = x+32
LMO cannot be a line segment the way you described it.
Is it angle(LMO) = x + 32 ?
What does MO bisect?
Where is O ?
Are the angles at M right angles?
Let Me Rephrase This:
RayMO bisects AngleLMN,
The Measure of AngleLMN =5x-23,
The Measure of LMO = x+3,
O is the point is from RayMO, the point when a bisect is made.
Find AngleNMO.
Thank you. That's much better.
If I am understanding your description,
A line that bisects an angle divides it into two congruent parts.
Therefore, angle LMO = angle NMO
angle NMO = angle LMN - angle LMO
angle NMO = 5x - 23 - (x + 3)
angle NMO = 5x - 23 - x - 3
angle NMO = 4x - 26
angle LMO = angle NMO
x + 3 = 4x - 26
3x = 29
x = 9.67
check everything, arithmetic, angles, etc
Still a strange question.
You said above that LMN is a line segment
so angle LMN = 180°
so 5x-23 = 180
x = 40.6°
then angle LMO=x+3 = 40.6+3 = 43.6
then angle NMO = 180-43.6 = 136.4°
So the fact that OM is the bisector of LMN has nothing to do with anything.
My Answer was AngleNMO=45.75 but My teacher says that it is AngleNMO=61..I dont understand how she got this.
Sorry It's Not A Line Segment I Looked At The Wrong Question. LMN is an Angle
The Measure of LMO = x+23.
I got angle NMO = 61
same method as above, but correction for LMO = x + 32
Therefore, angle LMO = angle NMO
angle NMO = angle LMN - angle LMO
angle NMO = 5x - 23 - (x + 32)
angle NMO = 5x - 23 - x - 32
angle NMO = 4x - 55
angle LMO = angle NMO
x + 32 = 4x - 55
3x = 87
x = 29
angle NMO = 4x - 55
x = 29
4(29) - 55
116 - 55 = 61
Thank You For Helping Me Understand :)

Tree Top Love Save the Date Magnets I purchased these as my Save the Dates. I customized the colors to match our wedding colors and they came out great! They are the perfect size and I love that they are magnets. My friends have told me that they have it on their fridge, so they definitely wont forget!

I'm very pleased with my experience and will definitely use MagnetStreet again in the future.

I have to cut about 60 pieces of foam board. Each board is 8ft long. I have cut some on the tablesaw. Initially this was fantastic but the blade keeps getting gummed up and then binds the foam. This is a cheap 40 tooth blade. Would upgrading to a better blade solve this problem? I was thinking of a coated blade like a Freud Perma-SHIELDďż˝ coated blade or will this still happen because it is foam. Would more teeth like 80 be a better option also? I have handcut foam before but 60 boards would be time consuming. Any ideas? Thanks |

I always just take the time to cut each one with a razor knife with breakoff sections of the blade & change the blade when it dulls. some foam boards have a thin plastic overlay best of luck |
As above, I score it with a utility razor and snap it off against the edge of a sheet of ply or 2 by whatever. Or you can use a hand saw. |
Had you stopped by before you purchased, you could have ordered it to size from a supplier. However, I've used a butcher knife, rented a "hot wire" cutter, clamped a 1x4 straight edge and used a weed whacker. |
A Sawzall works great. Snap a line and cut. I'm cutting 4" and 5" foam this way. I don't understand why your foam would gum up a tablesaw blade, but I'm cutting polyiso. |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Mon, Aug 5, 13 at 10:00
polyiso is easy to cut, it is the other foam board with less R-value that is so difficult to cut. as it is comprised of tiny styro balls formed to make sheathing & topped on one side with somewhat reflective plastic that quickly dulls when left exposed. these sheathing boards are difficult to cut. in my mind the high R-value(R-6-7 per inch) just wondering OP, which type and how much best of luck op. |
I forgot to mention that if you use the weed whacker on a windy day and the neighbors express concerns, just tell them that it's akin to vermiculite and will assist in water retention in the flower beds. |
I bought seconds and paid only $5 for the equivalent of a 2x8. Each board is cracked so I have to square them and had to buy the pile. The boards are all 2 ft wide and very from 5ft to 7ft long. The boards are polystyrene I believe. They also had some 3" and 4" boards but I thought they would be even worse to cut. I may have cut too many on the first day. I cut about 30 boards in only 30 minutes and then I ran into problems. I used denature alcohol on the blade and was amazed how blue the rag became. Looking at the boards, the cuts were bright blue and very clean but the last few boards were much darker. Thanks for all of the suggestions, I will try them this weekend. Thanks |
Fewer teeth is better than more (you want to cut down heating). Use a 16 or 20 tooth blade if you can find one. Get another cheap blade, cut till the first is gummy then change blades and drop the gummy one into undiluted simple green in the bottom of a five gallon bucket. It will be clean and ready to use by the time the second blade is gummy. |

BALTIMORE — Jake Peavy couldn't be more excited.
"If you can't have the opening day start, what's better than the home opener coming off a World Series win and ring ceremony?" Peavy said. "I'm doing everything I can do right now to get prepared for that start, and I'll leave it all out there."
Peavy is coming off an adventurous spring training during which he sliced open his left hand with a fishing knife. When he was on the hill, he had a really nice spring, allowing just three runs on nine hits in 12 2/3 innings.

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
The built-in "Benchmark and Hardware test" feature allows for quick and easy comparison of decompression times between systems.
WinRAR plays heavily on processor performance and the quad core Smooth Creations chose gave us a really good decompression score.
Quickpar Create and Repair
QuickPar is a utility for creating Parity Volumes using the Reed Solomon algorithm. Parity Volumes may be used to verify that a set of files have not been corrupted, or to reconstruct damaged files (providing that you have a sufficient quantity of Parity Volumes to match the missing or damaged files).
Quickpar utilizes system memory, processor power and hard disk access times; everything that the LAN Shark excels at.
Windows Media Encoder 9
In this test we take a 2 minute 1080p video and encode it into a 720p video. Scoring is determined by the amount of time taken for the task to complete. Lower is better.
The video used for this encoding test is The Magic of Flight (IMAX) which is readily available for download on Microsoft's HD Content Showcase page.
Video editing has become common place for power users and especially those like me with a DV camera and a family. Here we see our 2 minute 2 second video took 5 minutes and 1 second to convert the video from 1080P to 720P.
RightMark Audio Analyser
RMAA suite is designed for testing quality of analog and digital paths of any audio devices, be it a sound card, an MP3 player, a consumer CD/DVD player or an acoustic set. The results are obtained by playing and recording test signals passed through the tested audio path by means of frequency analysis algorithms. A more common mark is also provided for those unfamiliar with measured technical parameters.
A new version is the result of two years of development by best experts in digital audio. RMAA 6.0 raises the bar of comfort and functionality for spectrum analyzers. That's why it is a program of choice for enthusiasts, professionals, and audio magazines around the world; and some manufacturers are developing new devices with the mandatory testing of their quality in RMAA. In short, the program at the moment is a de-facto standard providing quick and easy measurement of technical parameters, without the need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on specialized measurement systems.
The audio test is the only benchmark that makes me feel let down. When DFI introduced their Karajan Audio it was supposed to be the next big thing. ABIT soon followed with their version and for the most part the practice went untested. Karajan Audio was supposed to improve signal-to-noise ratio and it seems that was not really the case, at least with the LAN PARTY Jr.

Alabama is still undefeated. I may have needed to bake cookies in the middle of the game to keep my cool, but I did it and so did AJ. A drive for the ages, I tell ya.
The other big news?
Scooter and Roddy might have a career as furry models. Scooter is showing some major blue steel here.
I initially waffled with the idea of doing maternity photos. Sometimes maternity pictures come off a little conceited, or even worse, cheesy. There are some bad maternity pictures out there and they usually involve props. Or nudity. Or a combination thereof.
But knowing that this may be our only pregnancy, we decided to give it a shot. The other driving factor was our wedding pictures, or lack thereof. We have zero professional wedding pictures - nada, not one. Our photographer disappeared shortly after the wedding and we only got a DVD of the photos that cannot be copied. So we have a major lack of nice family pictures.
I decided to use Andi after seeing the pictures she took of MomJovi and the whole Jovi family. They were pretty and natural. Andi was a complete pleasure to work with and made us feel totally at ease, an impressive feat considering J and I are probably the most awkward people ever to photograph. She'll also be taking Baby Peanut's newborn pictures. After seeing what a great job Andi did with our pictures, I know I made the right choice.
We are making excellent progress with the nursery, but it isn't complete. The curtains come in next week and we have a few things to check off the to do list. J's office is throwing us a shower today and tomorrow we'll buy whatever else we need. I signed up for Amazon Moms and am now the proud owner of 648 Huggies wipes and 240 Pampers Diapers. Free Prime shipping is a beautiful thing. Physically, I'm getting big and tired. I just have to laugh at the swelling at this point. Nothing helps - nothing. I am starting to feel some cramping and the Braxton-Hicks are increasing quite a bit. My doctor confirmed that the baby dropped at around 34 weeks, so the pressure on my bladder is getting pretty intense. However, none of that means she's coming even a single day early. My "work outs" now are just to get my blood moving. I'm way too far along to be killing myself. Mom readers: can you tell me what you absolutely had to have for the first month of life? We are trying to only get the essentials. |

Grainlady, I see that you make your own bulgur. I have a Whispermill and buckets of hard red, hard white, kamut, spelt, etc. I use a DLX mixer for regular baking. I would love to make my own bulgur--but have no idea how. Can you walk me through this?
Oh--anyone else's recipe would be welcome, too! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It sounds like you are ready to go ;-)! Bulgur - you'll find several different methods/recipes. I like to use hard red wheat for bulgur, but I've also made it out of white wheat and other grains (spelt, triticale, etc.) - your choice. I've read where you are supposed to use soft grain, another source says to use durum - so I make it out of whatever I feel like. As simple as that! It's essentially cooked wheat kernels, oven-dried, then cracked/coarse-ground. #1 - 1. Wash wheat in cool water and discard water. #2 - method 1: Place wheat in medium saucepan and enough water to cover wheat (about 2 inches). Bring to boil. Turn heat off, let rest 1-2 hours. Add more water if needed and bring to boil again, then let rest another 1-2 hours. Drain (use water for plants, soups or other cooking) and dry out in 200°F oven until very dry. It can also be dried in dehydrator or in the sun on trays. Method 2: Crack the dried wheat in a mill or grinder to moderately fine, or use whole. Store in airtight container on shelf. To reconstitute: #3 (source: ?) Method #1: Bring to a boil - one part rinsed wheat berries plus 2 parts water. Simmer the berries until they are tender (about 1 hour). Spread wheat berries on a cookie sheet and bake in a 225°F. oven, stirring occasionally, until dry (about one hour). Grind in a blender, or Roller Flaker Mill, or crush with a rolling pin, to the consistency of cracked wheat. Be sure to sift out the smallest flour-like bits. If you don't, they tend to form a "paste" in dishes you prepare calling for bulgur. Method #2: Sprout 3 cups (soft) wheat (using any sprouting method you like). Rinse 2-3 times a day. They will be ready in 3-4 days, when the tiny sprout is a maximum length of 1/4 inch. Drain the sprouts well, spread on a cookie sheet and set in a warm oven or dehydrator, no more than 150°F. Dry over night or until the berries are well dried. Grind coarsely in grain grinder. Store the bulgur in an airtight container in your refrigerator. -Grainlady |

Thanks, Grainlady! Now, I have the grain/spice attachment for my DLX, as well as the flake attachment. My husband makes his own grits from yellow corn, by grinding them at the coarsest setting on the DLX grinder. Then he grinds them at least one more time, making them grind more fine each time. I will try doing the cooked-and-dried berries on the coarsest setting. I'll also give flaking them a try, but that seems like it would make them too flat. I know it seems like a lot of grinders--but the Whispermill works best for baking, the DLX for grits and flaking oatmeal, AND we have the hand crank for the DLX just in case we're without power. I also don't like grinding corn in my Whispermill. (I like freshly ground white corn for cornbread.) I also just used your method to bake hotdog and hamburger buns--weighing the dough was a snap! I never would have thought of weighing it--thank you! |
You said it.... No one mill does it all! Over the years I've invested in different mills for different tasks, and never regreted anything other than the first two mills I purchased, which were total pieces of junk - but I didn't know then what I know now.... After I got my Whispermill as my only Christmas gift one year, I was 100% committed to milling flour and making all our breads and baked goods. Eventually I added other mills to make corn meal, flakes, cereals, and a seed mill for tiny seeds/grains. Milling has been a great experience and rewarding hobby! Even my non-cooking/baking husband has gotten educated. He always makes me a German Chocolate Cake for my birthday. His sister asked him how he made it? He goes into the directions for making wholegrain, freshly-milled cake flour from a 3:1 ratio of soft white wheat and oat OR spelt flour and his sister didn't understand a word.... "You mean you didn't use a CAKE MIX?" hahahaha -Grainlady |

Members of a police S.W.A.T. team search through a neighborhood in Watertown as they search for 19-year-old bombing suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev on April 19, 2013 in Watertown, Massachusetts. After a car chase and shoot out with police, one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was shot and killed by police early morning April 19, and a manhunt is underway for his brother and second suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. The two men are suspects in the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15, that killed three people and wounded at least 170.

I cannot poison the earth, so I must put my roses in cages. So many people around here laugh at me, but I am so afraid that another animal might get the poison. I also have a problem poisoning animals. The poisons don't work immediately, they first make the critters sick, and after a few days they die.
Am I alone on this? Sammy |
Follow-Up Postings:
I grow hostas and have had problems with voles. I have solved it for the most part by using baited mouse traps placed next to their tunnel and putting a flower pot over them to keep other critters from getting into the traps and by planting the hosta in 3-5 gallon nursery stock pots with the bottoms cut out to protect the root systems. You can also drill a 1" hole in a plastic container to hold poison bait. Most non-target critters can't get to it. I have found tho that the more of them I get dug up and potted the less traps and bait I have to use. I don't mind that the voles get snuffed at all but I don't want anything else getting hurt or killed. Lisa |

We have a small farm where we grow flowers and herbs. The groundhogs and other critters wreak havoc but I just deal with it. I could never bring myself to kill any of them, especially with poison. I won't even use insecticides on my plants. We do use electrified fences to keep the deer out but it doesn't stop the rabbits and burrowing animals. Not killing anything is a personal choice and I can understand why others feel that it's necessary to eliminate garden pests. |

Check out vole control at Andre Viette's site. He runs a nursery/mail order business in the Shenandoah Valley and has had lots of vole damage in the past. Has some good advice for control. |
My neighbor's kitties took care of my vole problem. They moved away and the voles came back for a while. Now there is a large blacksnake living in my yard, and the voles are gone again. I still get ocassional kitty visitors, but not as regularly as from my neighbor's cats. I really loved having them patrolling my garden. They were super friendly too and would stop by just for a petting session on my garden bench. Probably the only person in the world who didn't freak out with outdoor cats in my garden. It's worth a little poop clean up so I can keep my plants. |
I use a product that makes voles sick to their stomach(caastor oil pellets) and they move away, but I am tired of fighting them and the mountain beavers, so I'm learning what they like and what they don't and I don't replace the plants they go after. I have hostas, and late winter I'm going to move them into a whole that is surrounded by chicken wire. I heard this helps if they can't get to the bulb from below then the give up. I don't like killing anything, and making them sick isn't something I like to do either, so I try natural ways. Their tunnels I also fill back up with gravel as they don't seem to like to tunnel through it. It all helps slow them down, and maybe some year they will give up and move on to easier pickings *G* |
If you are using what we call chicken wire around here the those holes are too large and the dang voles can still get thru it. I tried using hardwarecloth. Effective but hard to cut. The nursery stock pots have worked the best for me. Three to five gallon size with the bottoms cute out. Most of the nurseries around here will give them to you. Lisa |
I have 250 large rose bushes, and we use hardware cloth. The squares are about 1/4 ". Around the rose bush we make a circle that is 12" deep and 4 ft. around. We leave about 1 inch above ground so they cannot get over it. You need pacience and good wire cutters for the hardware cloth, but it works. |
Sammy I bet your yard is beautiful. I have a few roses but my yard is mostly shade so I have about 200 hostas. Lisa |
I came across this little tidbit while searching vole and moles. Interesting site BTW. Mole Control Options |
We have 90 to 100 inches of rain, we would live in a swamp if the gophers voles and moles didn't make draniage tunnels. I agree on on posion, my cats keep the populstion to a working level. |
There is a little known effect to poisioning mice, rats, and voles, and that is the inadvertent sickening and/or loss of cats and other animals that prey on these. When a rat or mouse becomes sick from poison, it travels away from its home to die. I once lived on a farm and our nearest neighbor was 1/4 mile away, yet we lost cats to his rat poison. He had no cats; We kept a bunch of barn cats and these controlled the rodents. When his barn became infested with mice, he put out poison. We saw sickend mice crawling at least 3/16 of a mile from his barn, and a few our our cats found and ate some of these poisened mice and died. |
There is a product that will kill the varmit, and not the secondary animal, but I don't think it is a fast kill. I didn't believe that it would work, and called a number at the University of Oregon. She said that it kills the first animal by using a sort of "gas" that hits the blood stream. I asked what would happen if a dog or cat ate the animal that had eaten the product that turned to a gas. She said that as soon as the dog bit into the vein, the gas would dissipate, and not harm the dog. This is ok with me if I can be positive the dog or cat wouldn't eat it in the first place. It is made by Hi Yield. I don't know how long it will remain poisonous in the ground. I simply don't like to use it. Sammy |

"We have been making this ever since I can remember. LOVE IT!!"
"Oh my this was to die for!!! I did put it over tortilla chips and garnished it with Mozzarella cheese, and sour cream. This was so easy to make and so cheap!! I am going to be making this a lot. Thank you so much!!!!!!!"
"This was good and very easy. I did change it up a little though. My hubby said he really liked it so that was a nice touch."
"So very yummy and so easy! Lots of flavor we really enjoyed this one!"
"When I made these my entire house smelt fantastic!! I don't eat ribs but my hubby does so I made them for him and he said he loved this recipe. This is how I will make them for him from now on. Thanks and so easy. I didn't use the hickory smoke salt though cause I didn't have any I just used regular salt."
"I also added onions to it and it added the perfect touch. I did use Cream of Chicken soup instead cause I was out of Cream of Mushroom. It was still outstanding with the change. I will be making this often and it is so easy. Loved it and couldn't get enough! Thank you."
"This was fantastic! I made them for my super bowl party and they were the biggest hit there. They were gone fast! I even had the men asking me for the recipe! LOL. I would suggest getting 3 of the cresent rolls though if you are making for lots of people. I doubled the entire recipe for the party."
"I wanted to make this for super bowl sunday but tonight I figured I would test it out to see how I could make it work since I couldn't find the rings. I used the mini ones. They are so YUMMY!! Can't wait to get them ready on Sunday! Thank you so much!!"

Updating a Georgian Revival Home
Designer Robert Kaner helped a couple just starting a family make the transition from Manhattan loft living to a landmark exurban planned community in the borough of Queens.
By Elle Decor Staff
The homes new palette took some negotiation. The husband craved color, but the wife, who grew up in a 1970s whitewashed ranch, wanted neutrals. She compromised on the dining room, now a classic deep red, as well as on the bedroom, which was swathed in a buff khaki.
The kitchen and baths had been modernized over the years, so the designer wasnt bound by the dont change anything original rule. We thought of them differently, he says. We wanted them to be warm and inviting but to take advantage of modern appliances. So, after complete guts, color was allowed (yellow and red accents in the kitchen, lichen green in the master bath and, for each of the three other baths, a monochromatic take on a different colorone is blue, one yellow and one celadon).
Robert and I worked very hard to balance the traditional and modern, says the wife, and to have beautiful things that were also friendly. I didnt want anyone to feel they had to keep their hands in their pockets.
The result also held a pleasant surprise. Thankfully, a profusion of French doors on the main floor created a democratic sense of openness and connection. I can run a table from the dining room into the den. I can open and close doors to create new traffic patterns in the living room and library, she says.
In other words, the house has all the flexibility of a city loft.
What The Pros Know
I wanted the kitchen to feel modern but warm, says the wife, explaining the choice of Effetis cherrywood Diamante cabinetry (Effeti.com). To enhance the homier feel, designer Robert Kaner had the back stairs and banister richly stained, and he converted a closet under them into a butterscotch yellow nook with storage drawers and shelves for cookbooks. He added a custom stainless steel farm sink that he calls definitely quirky and created a backsplash of colored glass tiles that appear to be placed randomly, even though, he asserts, theres nothing random about them. The client didnt want an island, so Kaner bisected the space: a galley-style kitchen on one side and an open area to the right where bar stools now pull up to a serving counter. The arrangement creates cozy, humansize areas for preparing and eating meals while remaining open enough for all of the activities family kitchens accommodate, from quick lunches to homework while awaiting dinner.

I know that this sounds stupid and petty, but I had a tiny pot of godetia that I've been growing by seed all summer.
It really took off after a dose of alfalfa tea. Excited that I was going to see it bloom. Damn rabbits. |

I have five pink coreopsis that have been eaten down all year, as soon as they get any kind of growth on them. I'm hoping by next spring, the bunnies will forget where they are. Sadly, it's in my front yard right next to the main walkway. It looks so depressing. The big rabbit that wintered under our deck (solved that by taking the old deck out) did do a nice job of pruning my rosebushes for me last year. |
- Posted by Elisabeth_Rose z5 IL (My Page) on Sat, Aug 20, 05 at 20:57
What???? Joan, please tell me that the roses "your" rabbits ate was of the thornless variety! We went to a great deal of trouble and expense this year to keep rabbits out of our fenced-in yard, where they ate every thing in sight. That seems to have worked, but I planted 37 rosebushes in my front yard this spring, thinking that with all those nasty thorns they were safe from rabbits and other wildlife. No???? So far they have not been a problem, but should I worry? The solution we used for our fenced yard is not possible in the front..... Help! |
Rabbits can eat roses, and so can deer. So far, they haven't bothered mine. (I planted 12) I wouldn't assume that because you have rabbits, they're going to go for the roses. However, if you have 'pruning', it isn't your neighbors. Something ate half of my tulips this past spring, until I sprayed some 'deer away' on them. And none of my plantings have been bothered since. Not until the darn godetia. Gad, I'm still really peeved about this. SO slow growing with the nasty heat we've had. I was so jazzed to see it finally take off, and now it's eaten down to the dirt. *grrrr* |
Regarding the Deer Away - the commercials say that it works for deer and rabbits - does it? I hate the **!!*$@# rabbits,too and I'm willing to try another plan. I've chicken wired where I can but I've got one area that I can't do that in - consequently it's open to whatever critter wants to visit. Anyone with thoughts on the Deer Away specifically as it applies to rabbits? |

I've mixed feelings about wildlife..Since our 17 yr old indoor/outdoor cat passed away, we're seeing more and more wildlife..There's a baby and I mean a little, 4" eating my strawberry's..Since we don't eat the fruit, Not w/the dog wee-weeing everywhere, I don't mind.. It's those damn squirrels I have a problem with. I've been trying to grow grapes 3 yrs now, and have quite a few bunches growing on an arbor..I walked outside and there haning on my arbor like a bat was a squirrels muching away on the fruit..we feed the wildlife, peanuts, 4 feeders and bird bath, and still they bother my fruits. The squirrels have eaten houseplants, including an Avacado I started from seed..the plant was about 2' tall, and doing great. Mind you, avacados are toxic, and still those little beast unpotted the plant, and ate everything..I hope he got sick..lol..sorry, I love wildlife, but enough is enough..Toni |
Rabbits are the scourge of my existence, well rabbits and gophers. |
Thanks to the rabbits, I will have no asters blooming this fall. I suppose I should be grateful that it's just the asters, after the *#&$(@Q*#! things nearly killed a fothergilla and a NJ tea shrub this winter. I've tried NIMBY and Deer Off, but the only thing that works well is a physical barrier of chicken wire. Jenny in St. Louis |
My roses are nothing exotic so it really did them no harm. If you have hybrids, I suppose they could eat down so far that you'd just have the regular rose come up the next spring. He (or she) only ate them after the biggest snow melt (they were under the snow before that). I really did suspect that my neighbors had snuck over to prune because they were cut so cleanly! I understand the winter snacking and he/she didn't eat them all the way to the ground--left about 8-10 inches I guess. It is very cute to watch the chipmunks eat the rose hips off the bush in the fall. I just object to the wildlife eating plants when they are coming up and the rest of us haven't had a chance to enjoy them yet. As far as I know, the only way to prevent it is as Jenny says, chicken wire around it. Often they just like to eat new shoots so after the plant gets bigger, you can try taking the chicken wire away. It just doesn't look very nice if it's in your front yard. : ( |
I really suggest you all try Liquid Fence for rabbits. It has really worked for me.... Now...if I could just get rid of the pesky ground squirrel and my neighbor's wandering turkeys.... |
Applefan, where do you buy that Liquid Fence? Home Depot? Elisabeth, they love the thorns, I think that's how they floss there teeth. Jimmy |
I buy it online at liquidfence.com...but I have also seen it at Ace Hardware in Naperville. I use the concentrate because I have a large area to cover and it's easier to buy online. I really hope you will try it...it certainly has done the job for me. I use it as directed...but if I should see a stray bunny, I zap the area again and he's gone! Jean |
- Posted by pitimpinai z5 Chicago (My Page) on Tue, Sep 27, 05 at 22:11
I reinforced my fence with chicken wire....so now no rabbits in my backyard....sooooooo.....I hate cats even more, especially those who invade my garden. |
My indoor/outdoor cats keep away those nasty critters. I have the showest spring bulb garden around thanks to my guard cats. The cats don't dig, pee, or trample the garden. They like to roll around in the bare spots so that's why they don't pee or poop in it. Once things start popping up from the ground they move between them. My garden is about 50' x 20'. |
I have heard an interesting hypothesis. The reason the little bunnies and squirrels are so out of control the last couple of years at least around here is the absence of crows due to West Nile. I thought I would never say this, I actually miss the cackling! I will remember the Liquid Fence. |
Hey, I've managed to live in harmony with my deer, and rabbits for almost 70 years--BUT--now, the blasted armadillos have moved into our area-and some have even seen wild hogs!!can you imagine my heavily mulched garden?some say its due to the area getting warmer winters, but- i'd gladly keep the critters i had. |
Me, too!:) I planted new bulbs in the fall - rabbits have eaten the tops of my miniature iris and other bulbs that I can't remember, but was anxiously awaiting their blossoming...maybe I'll try deer away! |
For those of you that have deer problems, look into a product call the "Scarecrow". It hooks up to your hose and has a motion sensor on it! I don't want to provide any more details as I don't want to be accused of "selling products". But I have one, took some adjusting, but work great! Or, for those who have time on their hands, purchase a remote controlled plastic car or truck. When the deer come around, you stand by the window, and chase them around your yard! (Sorry it's a boys thing!!) Good for chasing pesky squires or dogs!!! |
My MIL died in '07 and my FIL in '08, so last fall when the house was sold I lifted some of the tulip bulbs from their yard (which was about the extent of their gardening) and planted them at our house for a memorial garden. One of the tulips threw up a stalk and was getting ready to bloom, and I was so looking forward to seeing which one it would turn out to be (there were several different deep reds, each one just luscious)... one morning last week came out and it had been decapitated. D-:= Later that evening there was a fat brown bunny in the back yard munching on dandelions with an innocent look on his face... nice try, bunny. Liquid Fence, here I come. :\ |

I just saw one in my front garden eating at my annuals just coming up from seed! I would have chased him off, but he didn't stay long. 5 minutes later I noticed 3 neighborhood cats chasing him. I admit, I sort of chuckled in satisfaction. |

Rabbits don't like herbs, I'm told. Can't say I've ever seen any in my herb garden. A Lavender farmer told me that lavender keeps rabbits away if you plant it along your fence, but how many are necessary to be effective, I don't know. We have dogs, as do our neighbors, plus a neighborhood cat or two. That seems to be helping keep the neverending rabbit population down in our back yard. We never have any roses, vegetables, berries or anything else touched by the little darlings. |

For cheap and healthy lunches, I like to take leftovers. Do you have any favorite vegetarian recipes whose leftovers freeze well. To save time, I love to cook extra and freeze lunch-size leftovers. I get a little tired of pasta dishes (but would certainly be interested if you have something spectacular!) I like to steam a big load of broccoli and freeze a little pasta (or whatever) and a lot of broccoli together. I haven't tried cauliflower yet -- I'm sure that would freeze well, too. Any other veggie ideas that could be frozen alongside the "main dish"? Would love to hear ALL ideas along these lines and more! |

Lola: One of my absolute favorites is chili. Unfortunately, I don't have an actual recipe, but here's the general idea of what I do: 1 bag Morningstar Farms crumbles I cook it until it's heated through. Makes a HUGE batch of chili, which freezes wonderfully. You can add whatever veggies you want as well. I like it without though, really basic, really good :) |
Vegetarian egg rolls freeze well. Make them, fry them, freeze them, & when you are too tired to cook – eat them. Stuffed cabbage is another. Here is a link to others recipes: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/vegex/msg072030576364.html If you want an easy dish, the Arabic markets often sell canned stuffed grape leaves – the ingredients are similar. They are stuffed with eggplant or rice. Another dish that is time consuming to make but freezes well is pierogie. There is a cheese filled or sauerkraut filled one that freezes well. http://www.piasecki.org/pierogi.htm Here's one for vegiburger taquitoes. http://www.recipesource.com/special-diets/vegetarian/vegeburger-taquitos1.html Here are some for enchiladas, which freeze well. http://ths.gardenweb.com/search/nph-ind.cgi?term=enchilada&forum=vegex&forum_name=Vegetarian+Recipe+Exchange Mushroom tarts freeze well. Another possibility is fruit soup. Guacamole freezes well if you add something to prevent discoloration. Sometimes I eat yogurt with fruit for lunch. You can buy a can of frozen strawberries or your favorite fruit & mix it with a good plain yogurt. The best yogurt I have found – even better than home made is at Arabic markets. It is so thick it is like cream, & tastes better than the brand name flavored yogurt. |

I make roasted vegetables a lot, often with marinated tofu added. That freezes well. My recipe is to dice up whatever roastable veggies I have left in the fridge on Sundays, my favorites are yukon gold or red potatoes, those weird baby carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash, red onions, although yellow will do fine, as will shallots, celery, parsnips, turnips and rutabagas. I like all these selctions because they all roast in about the same time. You can also go the mediterranean route--eggplant, zuchinni, asparagus, leeks, peppers, fennel. But those are not my favorites roasted, I like the roots and squashes, they get sweet. I lightly coat them with a mix of olive oil, veggie broth, soy sauce and a dash of balsamic vinegar or red wine. Sprinkle with minced garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Roast at 375 or 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. I roast at a lower temperature because I tend to get distracted and routinely overcook/burn. You need to check them about every 15 minutes and stir to redistribute the seasonings. Yummy the first day, and yummy as a leftover. I add tofu when the mood strikes me. You can also stir in veggie crumbles at the end for a kind of stew I guess. Those darn things are so expensive I use them judiciously. |

match report
Fulham returned to winning ways after recording just their third victory in 16 Premier League games thanks to a 3-1 home success against West Ham.
Birthday boy Dimitar Berbatov gave the hosts the perfect start thanks to a controversial opening goal after just 10 minutes.
However, the visitors hit back three minutes into the second half with Kevin Nolan netting to restore parity, but the lead lasted just 33 seconds as Hugo Rodallega fired the Cottagers back in front.
And Martin Jol's side made sure of all three points after an unfortuante own goal by Joey O'Brien in stoppage time.
Jussi Jaaskelainen was forced into action in the eighth minute, parrying away a fierce Bryan Ruiz effort from 20 yards.
Fulham pressed and soon broke the deadlock, with Berbatov nodding home just 10 minutes in. Damien Duff sent across a free-kick from the right, which looked to take the slightest of touches off Ruiz as it made its way to Berbatov to head home.
It was a moment of luck for the hosts as the Bulgarian was offside when the ball was whipped in - something the forward seemed aware of given he looked at the linesman before celebrating.
West Ham showed impressive fight by the Thames, levelling things up through captain Nolan in the 48th minute.
Mark Noble played a quick free-kick that caught the hosts off guard and Nolan did well to fire a low left-footed strike from an acute angle past Mark Schwarzer.
Parity lasted for just a minute, though, as Duff burst down the left flank and sent in a cross that Rodallega reached ahead of West Ham's defenders to bundle home.
Andy Carroll replaced his former Liverpool team-mate Joe Cole and forced Schwarzer into action moments into his first appearance since November 28th.
But the victory was secured in stoppage time when O'Brien inadvertently put into his own goal from Mladen Petric's cross-shot.
It was just Fulham's second league win of 2013 as they moved above their opponents into 12th position in the standings.

This Saturday I will be giving my first "professional" chef demo (complete with pro chef picture!) at Macy's in Herald Square. In honor of Macy's annual flower show, the theme will be using tea and flowers (tisane) in food and drink. I'll be showing the audience different ways to steep, grind and mix tea to get the best flavor and texture into your favorite recipes. We will be preparing chamomile and lavender cupcakes and tea lattes during the demo, which the first 65 attendees will get to sample. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so stop by early. Hope to see you there.

SITIS Archives - Topic Details |
Program: | SBIR |
Topic Num: | N102-133 (Navy) |
Title: | Aeroacoustics of High-Speed Jet Impingement | Research & Technical Areas: | Air Platform |
Acquisition Program: | Joint Strike Fighter | Objective: | Develop an innovative predictive modeling and simulation tool for the complex phenomena associated with the flow-acoustic resonances arising from jet impingement primarily from short and vertical-take-off (STOVL) tactical aircraft.
| Description: | In short- and vertical-take off configurations of STOVL tactical aircraft the propulsive nozzles are rotated toward the ground to generate the necessary lift. When that happens, the high-speed hot jet from the engine exhaust, as well as cooler jets from the roll-post nozzles on the wings (and possibly from the lift-fan as in the JSF F-35), impinge on the ground plane. These jets are then deflected by the ground and this process creates complex aerodynamic and aeroacoustic interactions (of the jets with themselves as well as with the ground). These interactions depend primarily on the airframe and nozzle geometries as well as the engine operating conditions. Flow-acoustic resonances arise causing significant unsteady structural loading on the airframe surfaces. In addition, the detrimental effect of noise on maintenance and support launch personnel is a health issue. It is also a safety issue because STOVL operations noise significantly reduces the ability of the pilot and support personnel to communicate effectively jeopardizing safety. A similar, but less complex situation, occurs in the Navy-unique application of carrier take offs in front of the Jet Blast Deflector (JBD). Predictive simulations of these complex coupled impinging jet flow phenomena are only possible by a systematic development of large eddy simulation (LES) capabilities or other high-order multi-scale numerical simulation techniques. By having a complete understanding of the flow-generated noise and its effect on personnel, air vehicle performance, and structural integrity, improvements to the design and carrier logistics can be realized. Innovative modeling and simulation tools are sought that can capture these phenomena and provide key solutions to STOVL tactical aircraft engineers.
| PHASE I: Determine the feasibility of accurately modeling the aeroacoustics of high-speed jet impingement, taking into account all of the aerodynamics and physical boundaries necessary to capture said phenomena. Show preliminary approach to impacting the design and carrier deck logistics.
| PHASE II: Develop prototype model and simulation (M&S) software reproducing scale model results. The M&S tool should provide accurate comparison to key metrics measured from test.
| PHASE III: Integrate software into the design practice and mission logistics of VSTOL aircraft operation on carriers.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/ | DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: JBDs are used in commercial airports to reduce the ground-level sound and propagation of jet noise. The structural fatigue and noise associated with this practice would benefit from a better understanding of the aeroacoustics.

Questions and Answers: |
Q: I have done previous work on subsonic jet impingement (wall jets) for induced vibration and noise. Since some aircraft jets are subsonic and supersonic impinging flows have subsonic spreading regions, would a proposal that deals only with the subsonic regions be considered for funding, or would it be consideed unresponsive? |
A: . . . response pending . . . |


text: Simple, yet effective. For the latest preview from Boys Noize's forthcoming Go Hard EP, we get taken to an entirely different zone from the previous two selections. This straight-up gritty, murky, beautiful techno. The kicks are constant, and the breathing on the track plays to the title of the track perfectly. This may not be our favorite from the EP ("Starwin" is a thing of beauty), but this is a damn interesting experiment in analog sound. Go Hard is available on June 24.

There are so many great things to do in California. It makes the perfect choice for your forthcoming vacation. Some start their vacation in a single city as well as a drive up to the coast to go to additional cities and points of interest. The Pacific Coast Highway is amazing, and it has incredible sights. For those who have a shorter period, or possibly it's really a weekend trip then study and prepare your vacation based on you and your family's interests. In Los Angeles California, there are many enjoyable things you can do. Those with families adore all the wonderful theme parks within the Anaheim area.
You can find Disneyland, Knottsberry Farms, and far much more to maintain your loved ones amused. If buying is your thing next take a stroll up to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Even though you can't afford the actual items the thing is it is entertaining to people observe and window shop. If you generate around an hour and a half south of Los Angeles you can visit San Diego and find out the actual famous San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Beach Surfers, and Legoland. Lego land is definitely an amusement park made of Legos. Kids and adults adore it. If you are taking the drive north of Los Angeles then take a vacation across the Pacific Coast Highway. You'll be able to see some of the most incredible coastal homes as you endeavor up to your next destination. Take a stop in Carmel California. This is actually where Clint Eastwood was the Mayor. It is a quaint town with excellent restaurants as well as shopping. The next stop up can be in Monterrey California.
Create a halt at the famed aquarium and also have a lunch break. Carrying on with north on the coast of California you will find still more things you can do. San Francisco is an amazing location. You have Fisherman's Wharf where there are certainly great dining, shopping and seals. The seals like to lounge in the harbor for your observing pleasure. Go ahead and take a ferry over to Alcatraz and take their particular audio walking tour. Right here you will discover the history from the tropical isle and of the prison. There's a lot of strolling so make sure to put on comfortable walking shoes.
In a town visit to Ghiradelli for some of their own delicious chocolates and walk across the streets associated with San Francisco. If you still have a moment, head north to the Napa Valley, California's wine country. Consider winery tours, hot air balloon trips, as well as visit fine dining places. There are all sorts associated with lodging here from resorts in order to bed as well as breakfast homes. Make sure to try taking some wine home to your friends and family back home. There is so much to complete in California that one journey generally can't pay for it all.
Most people go back time after time. You may also generate from California to Las Vegas through the wilderness.
With so much to get it done is difficult to choose only one thing. The local travel agency can help you plan as well as book your next journey.

More reviews by AgentMakeup007
I own this in copper glow and it is a beautiful, pigmented blush with golden sparkles, very similar to golden glow. The formula is smooth and soft, long lasting, and non expensive. I have grown out of this since I now preffer the more matte compact blushes over these type of loose glitter blushes, but it is an okay blush. I feel application can be quite messy and uneven with this, because it doesn't stick to a blush brush effectively since it's a loose powder; packaging is very unsafe for traveling as well, so I took a lippie off because of how careful you have to be when using this.

I LOVE THIS BLUSH! I have this in HEARTY PEACH. I got it on a whim, I couldn't really find a lot of swatches on it so I took my chance, and I love it, its very natural, it gives a stubble glow, and it just melts into your skin and blends so well, it has good pigment and it last all day on me. I got this blush brand new on ebay for like $4 dollars, and im glad I took my chances. the only thing I use from Avon is there skin care line and there primer...but there mineral blush is my new fav
A nice color, on my fair skin I have to use a light hand though, in the summer when I have more color it will be perfect.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? It is a lovely shade that adds just enough color to my light skin without being noticeable. It is natural looking and has a smooth coverage and makes foundation look just a little bit nicer, as it has just a hint of shimmer. Very Olivia Palermo - A new favorite!

I kid you not...this is by far the BEST blush I have ever encountered. I have two in golden glow and blushing muave. They are soooo beautiful. Golden glow makes your skin look like its kissed by the sun and makes your foundation look a lot more natural.

I am really impressed with the quality of this blush. I have used Avon for years, and they've never been of poor quality, but often times I could buy better products for less even at the drugstore. I gotta tell you they have really improved in recent years and this mineral blush is a testament to that. The color is great, it has pretty good staying powder for the cost, and the pigment is fantastic. Love love love this product and will be buying more of the mineral blushes after trying this one.

Now *THIS* is a great product! I don't know why this is not more hyped. This is a beautiful color, verly light and sheer, yet pigmented enough that it still shows on my NC35 skin. It's buildable but doesn't look icky like other mineral blushes do when you layer them. This gives me an effortless glowy and sunny look without looking unnatural. I've never liked BE or mineral makeup bc it clogs my pores, but not this one -so far so good! This comes in lots of colors, I'm going to be trying more since they're on sale for $5.99 (vs. $10) on Avon.com.
this is my favorite mineral blush its pigmented so soft
and just amazing they have so many great colors
i want them all

i LOVE this blush! I have it in Radiance and Blushed. Blushed is definitely my favorite it looks awesome wion my skin and the color is buildable so you can make it more natural looking or more dramatic if you want. Radiance is a little more sheer, but very pretty. It gives a pretty pink tint to the cheeks which is great for summer. I also to the use the Radiance with other blushes to create different looks. I look forward to trying more colors in this blush!!

Bob Kaplitz Senior Station Strategist "Distinct or extinct. You must live the brand by being noticeably better and different -- or you're out of the game. It's the Final 5% when you consider 95% of what you do is the same as what your competitors do. " |
As an AR&D senior strategist, Bob installs brands of journalism and marketing concepts by helping clients live these imperatives:
- Innovate, not imitate. You must overcome the me-too commodity mentality by developing and marketing new, original ideas that address opportunities in the market. That's because...
- Your brand isn't what you say it is. It's what they say it is. At many stations, there's a huge gap between what news and marketing claim their brand is and what viewers say. AR&D's proprietary consulting models, which Bob helped develop, bridge that gap.
During his 25 years as an AR&D Strategist, he's helped stations to build their brands in markets ranging from Los Angeles to Atlanta to Sydney, Australia. He's also collaborated with syndicators to develop and market their news and information products. He was a prime architect and change agent in the affiliation switch of CBS stations to Fox - a colossal branding challenge.
Bob's workshops on branding for the National Association of Broadcasters, National Press Photographers Association, the Radio-TV News Directors Association, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and for broadcasters in the U.S. and aboard provided what one general manager calls "an innovative roadmap for successful brand building." Bob's portfolio of inventions includes:
- Crimetracker Alerts brand stations in a powerful way. It's one of the highest scoring concepts ever tested for stations watching out for their viewers. It's potent marketing that viewers see as pure, relevant content.
- Anchors as Brand Ambassadors: Anchors live the brand through their attitude and journalistic actions. They become the face of the brand, which builds its value and propels the anchors' images.
- Strategic Scorecard: A powerful management tool for the news product and marketing that helps stations stay on brand because what gets measured, gets done.
- Innovation Immersion: Bob pioneered early development of AR&D's Innovation Laboratory in 1983 to help clients with rapid prototyping.
Education and Training
Bob studied at Synectics, a global firm specializing in innovation, and was certified as an innovation trainer. He earned a degree in psychology with a focus on learning and development at the State University of New York, then a Master of Science degree from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications.
Bob studied management at the post graduate level through the American Management Association and the Center for Creative Leadership. He's taught broadcast journalism, writing, and news production/photography at the University of North Carolina. He's lectured on marketing and branding to MBA students at the Graduate School of Management at the University of Dallas.
Practical Experience
Bob's two decades of experience in the trenches includes a variety of positions spanning photography to management. Many of his reports ran on the CBS Evening News and CBS Radio. RTNDA has honored Bob as Best TV Investigative Reporter in the U.S. and Canada.
Publications and Other Media
As executive editor for AR&D's Web site, Bob has authored several hundred articles on branding, marketing, and innovation. He's also written numerous articles for trade publications and media reviews for the Dallas Morning News.
Bob and his wife, Carisa, a senior project manager for an interactive marketing agency, enjoy travel as well as the music of Phil Collins who played a delightful and unexpected role in their against all odds marriage.
