American Sniper was expected to do well but not this well: The Clint Eastwood-directed war film took in an estimated $90.2 million—and broke a few records.
The movie set a new record for a January opening by taking in $30.5 million on Friday. So you can see why one would want to go see the movie that's breaking records left and right.
Bradley Cooper did an amazing job and should honestly win every award he's been nominated for but there's one issue I had with this movie and thats the creepy ass robot baby they used in one of the senes.
(Small Spoiler alert) It was the sene that Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller, were having a conversation about his desire to go back to active duty while they each take turns holding their new born baby.
I had no freaking clue what they were talking about because I got so distracted by the baby, which is obviously mechanical.
When you first see it, Sienna Miller's holding the baby and "nursing," and the baby's hand that is more prominent moves a few times. It totally looks artificial and immediately drew my eye to it.
As a result, the entire rest of the scene, that's all I could look at. It's so obvious, and neither one of them looks like they are comfortable holding it.
The weight's all wrong, and it shows from the way they have to try to liven it up with their own body language. Bradley Cooper looks like he's never held a baby before.
I was cracking up the whole time, in fact the whole theatre was as well. As big as this movie is they could of at least got a real baby for the dang sene.
Take a look and see for yourself.

The Future of Food
By jdaviescoates at April 18, 2007 | 2:09 pm | Print
An important documentary about GM food and Monsanto.
(sadly no longer available in full on google video, so here is an intro from youtube)
As Celsias put it, "this is a must-watch for anyone who eats (um… yes, that means you)."
"There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America — a revolution that is transforming the very nature … all » of the food we eat.
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply.
Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today."

'Future of Food' is an excellent documentary. I have watched it many times. Also, to see what has happened in India because of GMO's, watch 'I Want My Father Back'.
GMO's are a "Trojan Horse".
No scientist knows the full effect of violently penetrating the DNA barrier to create GMO's; and no scientist knows everything about how these GMO's will behave inside the human body. They also do not know everything about how these GMO's will react in the open eco-system.
If any scientist says that he does know, he is arrogant, unintelligent, or he is being paid by a pro-GMO economic concern.
We can all live without supermarkets!
Mother Nature supplies everything!
But some greedy men grabbed all land,
And organized scarcity!Just visit these sites for alternative society:

Rebecca Maas
Rebecca's background is comprised of consumer and lifestyle public relations, event management and experiential marketing. Since joining Peppercomm three years ago, she has managed day-to-day operation on a variety of projects including the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) and, most recently, T.G.I. Friday's 20th annual World Bartender Championship (WBC). Previously, Rebecca served as project and brand manager for Bank of America, focusing on the bank's partnership with writer and comedian Mo Rocca. In addition, she built her events expertise handling logistics for her client's, Wines of Rioja (Spain), exclusive wine sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City.
When Mirage Studios, then-brand owner of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, wanted to celebrate the beloved comic's 25th anniversary, Rebecca worked with the client to develop and execute a multi-city tour. The tour's launch featured a ceremony at the Empire State Building with director Steve Barron and writer Kevin Eastman as well as a celebratory event to open the Tribeca Film Festival with special guest Ernie Reyes, Jr. who played Keno in the first movie and Donatello in the second. The tour culminated in Los Angeles with a casting call for a role in the latest TMNT full-length movie, scheduled for release next summer. Working with the movie's producers Scott Mednick and Galen Walker, and head writer John Fusco, Rebecca managed event details from securing location at Hollywood & Highland to coordinating special appearances with the film's key players.
For T.G.I. Friday's, Rebecca handles events and promotions for the brand's iconic World Bartender Championship, as well as other partnerships including its NCAA/Coke sweepstakes. When Friday's tapped Peppercomm to take the WBC to a new level in its 20th year, Rebecca played a key role in developing a campaign to make bartending an officially recognized sport. Through an integrated campaign of consumer and lifestyle public relations, consumer events at restaurants and in high-traffic locations nationwide, and digital/social marketing the campaign has achieved more than 100 million media impressions and has garnered more than 20,000 signatures. Rebecca also managed photography and brand execution for a partnership with Jimmy Kimmel late last year.
Prior to joining Peppercomm, Rebecca worked at BBDO where she coordinated multi-discipline, integrated marketing campaigns across advertising, marketing services, specialty communications, interactive/digital media and media buying services on behalf of Bank of America. Her role also included effectively integrating communication across Omnicom and non-Omnicom agencies to ensure campaign consistency of messaging, language, visuals, and look and feel as well as serving as a strategy steward across several lines of business including credit card and deposits marketing.
Rebecca came to BBDO after working in public relations at CRT/tanaka where she worked with business-to-business and consumer clients such as Target, Capital One, Sprint, Wines of Rioja (Spain) and Girl Scouts of the USA. Her experience at the agency ranges from planning and executing a five-member press trip to Spin, leading media relations campaigns for the NASCAR NEXTEL CUP SERIES – including managing messaging for Nextel's transition to Sprint – and planning events for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and launch events for Advil® Liqui-Gels® nationwide.
After three years – almost to the day – in Peppercomm's New York office, Rebecca recently relocated to the agency's San Francisco office. Trading skyscrapers for sun, she spends much of her time exploring

Public Health News Roundup: May 11
FDA Panel Backs HIV Drug to Prevent Transmission of the Virus
Reuters is reporting that an FDA advisory committee has recommended that the HIV drug Truvada be approved for the prevention of HIV for people at highest risk of contracting the infection, such as men who have sex with other men. The agency is expected to rule on the recommendation next month. While the drug has been effective in preventing transmission of the infection in clinical trials, drawbacks include the high cost of the drug and a risk for serious kidney problems when the drug is used long term. Read more on HIV.
Washington State Declares Whooping Cough Epidemic
This week the governor of Washington State, Chris Gregoire, made emergency funds available to the state Department of Health to help curb the outbreak of whooping cough (pertussis) underway in Washington. The state's Health Secretary declared a whooping cough epidemic last month. Gregoire also urged health care professionals to get vaccinated and vaccinate their patients, and announced federal approval for health officials to re-direct some funds to buy several thousand doses of pertussis vaccine for adults.
"I'm especially concerned about the vulnerable babies in our communities that are too young to be fully immunized," said Gregoire. "These actions will help state and local health leaders get vaccine into people's arms so we can stem the tide." According to the Department of Health 1,132 cases of whooping cough have been reported in the state through April 28—that's compared to 117 over the same time last year. There were 965 cases reported in all of 2011. Read more on vaccine-preventable illnesses.
Stores Recall Thousands of Water Slides Linked to One Death, Two Critical Injuries
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Wal-Mart Stores Inc., and Toys R Us Inc., are announcing the recall of about 21,000 inflatable Banzai in-ground pool water slides. During use, the slide can deflate, allowing the user to hit the ground underneath the slide and become injured. The slide is also unstable and can topple over in both still and windy conditions and carries inadequate warnings and instructions. The CPSC says it is aware of one death, a paralyzing injury and a neck fracture linked to use of the slides.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the product and return it to the nearest Wal-Mart or Toys R Us for a full refund. Consumers can also cut the two safety warning notices out of the slide and just return that portion.
The CPSC has also recently published a roundup of recalls this past year of products most likely to be used in the spring and summer, such as playground sets, gas grills and kiddy bikes. Read more on injury prevention.

I purchased Tropicanna last year and within a month they were huge and the leaves were such a deep rich bronzy color. Now all of the leaves look faded all the time. What could be the problem? they have automatic drips on them so they get watered, but maybe not enough? there are new shoots coming up all over the place so those are hard to keep watered. can't have a drip on every single new shoot that pops up. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could try some plants in partial shade to see if leaf color is improved. The only way to know about adequacy of watering is to dig down at least a few inches to see if the soil is moist. It's doubtful that water availability is significantly affecting leaf color, though. |
It's probably time to change out the type of emitter you're using. My favorite is the one below. It covers a larger area and the flow can be adjusted. |
Here is a link that might be useful: spray emitter
Thanks for the responses. Will try these suggestions. |
Could it be that they need fertilizer? Cannas are heavy feeders. I'm sure lots of water wouldn't hurt either. |
I had this happen with my Tropicanna after I moved and took it with me. I was getting too much direct sun during the heat of the day. The variegated/striated ones just can't take it. I moved it to a more sheltered spot, and the colors of the new leaves were just gorgeous. Of course, it's not growing as fast as it was, but it really looks a lot better. HW |

I am replacing the kitchen floor in my daughter's 1930's DC coop townhouse. The kitchen has hardwood floors which are sturdy, but the finish is ruined and water damaged. She wants to put down tile.
Now I know that Hardiback over hardwood is a no-no. But here's what we found. We pulled up one of the hardwood boards and underneath it is a concrete floor. (She is on the second floor.) The hardwood is not laying directly on the concrete which is quite rough. There are 1x2 (?) slats that appear to be fixed to the concrete, and the hardwood is nailed down perpendicular to the slats. The floor is perfectly level, but as I said earlier, the oak hardwood has shrunk, specially near the sink and dishwasher. QUESTION: What should we do. My gut tells me we should rip out the hardwood and put down 3/4" ext ply over the slats, then thinset down 1/4" Hardiboard and finally the tiles. Does this sound like a good idea? I don't want to cut corners, but I also don't want to do anything unnecessary. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some people go to great lengths to have concrete floors. I know your plans are to lay down wood, but what about just giving the concrete a nice polish and stain? Best of luck with your project, I hope your daughter appreciates your efforts. |

Skip the plywood + cement board, and just apply Ditra to the concrete floor as a tile substrate. Installing wood just adds a component to the floor that can move and cause cracking. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ditra installation info (see pg 10)
"Some people go to great lengths to have concrete floors. " And many of them regret it as they age and the stiffness of the floor takes its toll on knees, hips, and backs. Or you add cushioned mats to stand on creating one more thing to clean. |
The concrete floor is VERY rough and would not make a suitable substrate, even for Ditra. I'm thinking of just doing the ply over the slats and Hardibacker and tile. The good thing is that the slats aren't going to flex at all. |

Optimizing assembly process efficiency and minimizing material consumption are viable pathways to significant reductions in assembly manufacturing expense. This white paper describes how light-curable materials offer significant advantages over traditional two-part slow-cure adhesives, thermally-cured adhesives, and solvent-based adhesive systems and help manufacturers increase productivity and reduce waste.
PVC and polyurethane can be formed into a variety of shapes, including tubing. Both materials are useful in numerous applications, but depending on factors such as temperature, chemical compatibility and outdoor use, one product may outperform the other. This paper examines each material's benefits, drawbacks, common uses and physical properties.
Proportional valves — which change outputs in proportion to their input value — provide dependable, cost-effective, compact solutions for fast response and consistent control at relatively low flow rates. Proportional control technology is ideal where precise perform- ance is required in variable pressure and flow applications.
This white paper outlines a calculation for estimating the true cost of mispicks in order fulfillment to an operation. It also present technology solutions to improve pick accuracy, and shares a calculation for determining the savings they can deliver.
Facilities managers need to be ready to meet demand without putting their employees, equipment or products at risk. Modern barrier systems used at the loading dock and inside facilities can help reduce that risk, as well as offer solutions for workspaces that require efficient reconfiguration.
To increase production space Alcom designed and built a major expansion to its Reynosa facility. Two Series 21 hydraulic li s from PFlow Industries, Inc., allow product on to flow efficiently despite the addition of the second level. Installed at opposite ends of the mezzanine, the li s move electrical components and parts between various stages of assembly, packaging and shipping.
At the higher end of the capacity range PFlow has built over 750 "Big", heavy-duty lifts, with capacities of 20,000 lb or more. These Big lifts are highly engineered and customized systems, adapted from the PFlow four-post Series-F design to meet the exacting needs required of the application.

As a young boy in the 60's, my brother, sister and I would stand on the rear seat of Dad's Oldsmobile and hang onto the top of the front bench seat. That was our idea of automobile safety back then. The National Highway Safety Bureau, now the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), was created in 1966 and one of their first initiatives was to mandate the installation of seat belts in all American made cars.
Air Pear destratification fans manufactured by Airius LLC in Longmont, Colo. will be making sure some of the hottest rock bands in the world are rehearsing in comfort as part of the HVAC design of the new Rock Lititz Studios, a $7 million, 52,000-square-foot production-rehearsal facility that's the largest in the world.
The mammoth-sized studio opened in September in Lancaster County, Penn.
Twelve Air Pear Model 100 fans, Airius' second largest air destratification fan, now operate in the lattice of steel girders and walkways designed to handle lighting, high-tech video, laser props and sound systems.
Airius LLC has introduced the new Air Pear Model 25 EC, bringing the electronically commuted (EC) motor option to its full product lineup of destratification fans.
By adding the EC motor to the popular Air Pear Model 25, generally for building ceilings of 25 to 35 feet, Airius now offers a 2-speed programmable motor in its fans that service facilities with ceiling heights from 8 feet to 125 feet. The Model 25 EC also has an optional zero to 10 volt DC signal control.
The EC motors in all of the Airius destratification fans are manufactured by Germany-based ebm-papst Inc.
Managing inventory and fulfilling orders in today's omni-channel environment requires efficient systems for storing goods and smart use of vertical space in distribution centers. These needs can be mapped back to a common question that often arises when companies consider mezzanine solutions: What is the best route to take for my facility, a rack-supported mezzanine, or a free-standing mezzanine structure?

And, over the past 26 years, Lee University always has been "growing and building," Conn said.
One example of recent growth is the recorded number of students, from the low 4,000s to almost 5,000. The reason is the inclusion of almost 700 online students who hadn't been counted until recently.
"For several years, we've had online classes," Conn said, "Other schools in Tennessee have already been including online students ... but we haven't counted them."
Students at Lee University come from all 49 states and 57 countries, many from Nigeria, totaling close to 300. This year, only Nebraska wasn't represented from the U.S. states; last year, Idaho; and the year before that, Montana, Conn said. Almost 50 percent of all Lee University students, however, are in-state enrollees, largely from Middle Tennessee. Only a few years ago, Conn said, only around 33 percent of all Lee University students came from Middle Tennessee, most of them close to the Interstate 75 corridor, but increasingly from the surrounding Nashville area.
"The trend is to go to schools closer to home," Conn said. "But still to go off to college. Just not very far."
Almost 60 percent of students are co-eds, almost matching the national average.
Almost 15 percent of all Lee University students are non-Caucasian, Conn said, and they are helping to transform parts of the school, especially the music department, in a "fantastic way," Conn said.
Four schools make up the Lee University system — Arts and Sciences, with 2,140 students; Education, with 740 students; Religion, with 398 students; and music, with 337 students.
And, although Lee University is often known for its music program, the music department comprises only around 10 percent of the school's attendance.
"But [the music department] makes us one of the top five music schools in the state and the largest for a private school [in Tennessee]," Conn said.
The most popular major is psychology, with interdisciplinary studies with licensure, what used to be called elementary education, business administration, health sciences and music following next in line.
Almost 700 full-time employees work at Lee University, with another roughly 850 additional employees.
Some of the new buildings that now grace Lee's campus include Hughes Hall and the new chapel, which has seen 45 weddings under its roof just this year alone — so far — even though it wasn't originally built with this purpose in mind, Conn said.
And, another of Lee University's best kept-secrets is that it has one of the busiest health clinics within the city of Cleveland on its campus, with almost 11,000 patient visits per year, and is staffed with five nurses and six secretaries.
"We decided to get serious about a good clinic," Conn said.
And, not only does Lee University serve 15,000 meals each week, several name-brand food chains are available on campus, including Einstein Brothers Bagels, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts, Jazzman's Cafe, Chick-fil-A, and simply to go.
"We're in the health business," Conn said, "and we're in the food business. ... And, we're still growing, we're still building," Conn said.
In other business:
— The Bradley Sunrise Rotary organization gave more donations to two local organizations out of this year's Gala fundraising dollars. The local American Cancer Society received $5,000, as did the local Salvation Army.
— The Sunrise Rotary also donated a flat screen TV for the waiting room at the Bradley Healthcare and Rehabilitation facility.
— The Relay for Life kick-off meeting will be held Oct. 30 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church starting with a breakfast at 7:30 a.m., followed by a meeting at 8 a.m. For more information, call Tammy Leatherwood, event co-chair at the local American Cancer Society, at 303-6950.

Marian Keyes shares her sticky recipe of goodness for her blokey Snickers cheesecake loaf
Snickers is an essentially blokey thing, no? I've always thought it's the sort of sweetmeat that men take a big chomp out of just before they abseil down the side of a mountain and, for a while, I thought it was the law that Snickers could only be eaten by men speeding past me on mountain bikes. Inspired by such rugged outdoorsiness, this is a hefty, hearty cheesecake, specially for the boys. The loaf format is an extra little touch on my part; I think it makes it even more manly.
Saved By Cake by Marian Keyes is out now, published by Michael Joseph.

OMG......this is such a labor intensive recipe and very bland. The milk did not seen to thicken in the saucepan. Yes, bacon or something to give it more flavor would help. Also, I tried to get as much water out of the blanched greens as possible but greens still are water laden. Will not make this again.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rascal!!
Facts about Rascal!
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Rascal!'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
November 6, 2011
Meet our newest boy Rascal. Rascal is a 5 month old white Boxer. He was hit by a car and his family could not afford to pay for the surgery to fix his leg so they gave him up. Luckily his injury is not that serious and our vets tell us he is going to be as good as new after his surgery which he will be having on November 7th. Rascal is a sweet boy who is full of love. He has a wonderful temperament. Not too hyper but definitely all Boxer! Rascal will be going home with a vet to recover and be taken care of until we find his forever home. Stay tuned as we get to know this little Rascal! Whoever adopts Rascal will be required to take him to a puppy class and a beginner training class so he grows up with good Boxer manners and socialization skills. If you are interested in Rascal, please visit our website at www.theboxerrescue.org to learn more about our adoption process.
Other Pets at The Boxer Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rascal!, a Grafton Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Grafton, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Grafton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grafton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Grafton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grafton paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database contains information on unverified reports of adverse events (illnesses, health problems and/or symptoms) following immunization with US-licensed vaccines. Reports are accepted from anyone and can be submitted electronically at www.vaers.hhs.gov.
Search Current VAERS Data
The information in this database contains reports received from 1990 to the present. Data can be searched by the following: age, event category, gender, manufacturers, onset interval, recovery status, serious/non-serious category, state/territory, symptoms, vaccine, VAERS ID #, year reported, month reported, year vaccinated and month vaccinated. Click the VAERS Data Search button below to begin your data search.
Data Limitations and Cautions A major limitation of VAERS data is that VAERS cannot determine if the adverse health event reported was caused by the vaccination. Information on additional limitations of the VAERS data is available at http://vaers.hhs.gov/data/index.
* This allows you to search for details on a specific VAERS report by the VAERS ID number.

I have a student that has chosen to draw a baseball stadium as a project. He has inserted thousands of seats and has thousands more to insert but has already starting to experience some lag when viewing in 3D. Is there a way to handle all these seats so that it is less memory intensive? Does it help to group the elements?
Thank you.
1. Open the seat family, go to Manage>Purge. Save, Reload into Project>Overwrite existing version.
Check the file size of the seat family--it should be as small as possible. Check that there is no Cadd imported
content in the family. This will slow Revit down.
2. Yes--Group all the seats.
3. Place all seats in a separate Revit Project, and Link it into the main Revit file using Shared Corrdinates.
Good luck!
In my opinion, there are 3 good options:
Option 1 : A model family that contains an array of chairs, made with a nested chair.
Option 2 : An adaptive family that contains a nested adaptive family, which contains a nested chair. In the host family create a divided path, and a repetition of the nested adaptive family that contains the chair.
Option 3: Do not to model any chairs. Represent the seating by other means, with notes, or details, or a shaded floor plan, etc. Modeling thousands of chairs is not going to add more essential information to the model.
A group is not going to help with performance, in my opinion. Because you still have to copy all those chairs, either manually or with an array. Just make a test, and you'll see how different it is to try to make an array of 200 chairs, and then array that group 200 times. Most likely, your computer will stop responding, or it will finish after several minutes. Now, if you have a family with an array of nested chairs, this can be done in some seconds. But if I were you, I would do Option 3.
Alfredo raised some good points.
However, the file size of the Family will tend to reflect either negatively or positely in the Project--i.e.
a complex adaptive family loaded with an array of 200 nested chair families, once loaded into the Project
may bog down performance.
I would opt for families of chairs, then Grouped, then populated into a fresh Revit model, Linked using Shared Coordinates into the main project.
We have done a lot of theaters and ballrooms, where this has become a challenge. The need for 3D Views has always come up in Schematic Design and well into DD/CD phases--so we have developed Families for seating and slot mchines
which are both 2D and 3D and can be turned on/off depending on what type of view is required.
Try a test of these methods, see how the models perform, then make your decision on how to most effectively meet your project requirements amd model performance.

Google Street View catches flock of Ferraris in natural habitat
Monday, March 16th, 2009
Man, the Google Street View Driver got an eyeful the day he drove by this Maranello Moment.
And he captured it all for posterity (and Google Maps) to boot.
The gaggle of F430 Scuderias and 360 Challenge Stradales is impressive enough. Throw in the five F40s, three Enzos and a lone F50, and you have yourself a proper stampede of prancing horses.
The Street View photos do two things. First, they reinforce our belief that the F40 is infinitely cooler than both its hyper-exotic successors.
Second, they have us thinking that on this particular day, Rome's Piazza Santiago del Cile was probably the best-sounding place on planet Earth. source

We just had our floors refinished 5 months ago and I have tried a few different methods of cleaning (Bona floor cleaner, Pledge 4in1, vinegar + water) They would all leave a weird cloudy film on my floor and when walked on, we would have footprint marks everywhere. I tried cleaning it with some Windex and my floors look amazing and shiny. Could it damage my floors with long term use though? Edited to add: The finish is winwax dark walnut with 2-3 coats of polyurethane on it. |

Follow-Up Postings:
I'm going to take a guess that the Pledge product is the culprit. If you used the Pledge it probably left something behind. Neither the alcohol in the Bona nor the vinegar and water would remove it but the ammonia in the Windex would. Unless your floor is on it's last legs and you're trying to avoid resanding for a short time, you should never use anything that claims to add a shine or protection to your wood floor. Read the description and a review on this site. I had an experience with residue on a floor that I was able to remove with ammonia based Windex. Bona cleaner is alcohol based and WILL NOT leave a residue. If the floor is now free of residue, go back to the Bona cleaner. |
Yes I did indeed use the Pledge first... I am so annoyed because on the package it specifically says NO RESIDUE or film. UGH! The Windex seems to have been the only one to be able to take that film off. I will try the Bona again once the Pledge film is 100% off. Thanks! |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Fri, Feb 21, 14 at 16:06
I've noticed a film when I have cleaned the windows, so I would imagine the same is happening on your floors. I have wood and use Bono, and even though the floors were a matte finish to begin with, seem to be getting duller. My DD has dark Brazilian cherry floors and her housekeeper has been using Murphy's Oil the last 7 years, and they look as shiny as when they were installed, and I don't ever notice a film. She said she uses 'very' little, but didn't exactly know how much. I have always heard MO should not be used on wood, but maybe it's all in the amount. Read the reviews. ;) |
Tried the Bona again after the Windex and it was better but still not as good as the Windex! WIll try again in a few weeks. I have heard of Murphy's Oil will check it out too. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 11:57
Murphy's oil soap will leave an oily residue on your floors. You will be right back to the yucky film. |
You should clean your wood floor with water only, and then maybe a little vinegar as a final wipe. As you're seeing (and will see with the Murphy's Oil), everything else is not suitable, or not necessary (alcohol in Bona). |

Jewel in Malawi's crown
Malawi, despite its beautiful scenery, friendly people and the Lake with its white sand beaches and islands, is not yet a real tourist destination and the experience of visiting the country is totally unspoiled by the usual tourist trappings.
So a holiday to Lake Malawi is perhaps the ultimate finale to a safari holiday.
Expect remote, private beaches, crystal clear waters, endless water activities like diving, snorkelling, sailing and fishing and land adventures such as walks, mountain biking, village visits and more.
The people of this little country are friendly and very welcoming. It is truly a delight to experience this rural and simple Malawi lifestyle.

Warwick Junction lies on the edge of the Durban's inner-city and is the primary public transport interchange in the city. On an average day the area accommodates 460 000 commuters, and at least 6000 street vendors. Given the confluence of rail, taxi and bus transport, this area has always been a natural market for street vendors. The Markets of Warwick includes between 5000 and 8000 vendors trading in 9 distinct markets. Currently this is the only informally structured market in a public space of this magnitude, and thus establishes itself as the single most authentic African market that South Africa has to offer.

Vertigo Sky Lounge
Dana Hotel
Chicago, IL, 60654, United States
It's the unisex bathroom at Vertigo that first caught our attention. With a large round window overlooking the Chicago skyline and another window where visitors can order old-time drinks like Sidecars and Pink Ladies from the bar, it's turning out to be quite the happening loo. Vertigo's 1,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, which has its own fire pit and trippy décor (think abstract-shaped wooden benches and globe lights), is a suitable option for the more modest among us.

Wow, I got to play FoD again after a long break...well over a year. I forget what such a great game this is. I played the hunters (usually I played Drac) and it was an intense search from the get go. We were playing against a non-confrontational Drac who kept slipping from our grasp. Unfortunately, I had to leave midway through the game and abandon the hunters to their fate.
First time in a long time...

CoffeeShop ShadowHouse Storyboard!
I am sure you know by now that one of my favorite artists is Jerry from ShadowHouse Creations. He is incredibly talented AND generous. If you haven't visited his blog to see his work and incredible free textures, patterns, and brushes you are missing out. Honestly, he has such a volume of amazing beautiful textures you might never have to look anywhere else.
I made this new storyboard with two of his free textures, Old Polaroid with Corners and 1000 Years BC. Thanks Jerry for inspiring me once again! I love your work.

Occasionally, an Italian exporter will ask the owner of Poggi Bonsi why she named her business after Poggibonsi, a small town in Tuscany. The answer is simple: it's fun to say. It may be even more fun to peruse the shop's shelves, which hold handpicked items from artisans across the pond. The woman who owns the shop seeks out suppliers who practice crafts the same way her ancestors did. This explains Poggi Bonsi's extensive stock of Italian ceramics and French linens. They supplement this timeless selection with modern appliances, kitchen gadgets, and bakeware.
The founder of Moe's Home Collection, Moe Samieian, began his enterprise with a Vancouver rug store in 1985, eventually getting into the furniture business and steadily increasing his number of storefronts. Today, Moe's four locations boast a big selection of custom chairs, sofas, and desks, conversation-starting artwork and wall decorations, and rare cabinetware and Chinese antiques. Like a royal estate or lucky cow, the company has passed from father to son, with Moe Jr. sourcing exotic furniture pieces from as far away as Jakarta and Beijing, and consulting with homeowners to create one-of-a-kind Italian leather sofas or made-to-order contemporary pieces.

Hey, i live in iowa, but i'm going to move to south carolina. In the south, what plants are wild (plants that you would usually find in garden centers)? When i went there, there were mimosas, wisteria, and magnolia. |

Yes, those plants are found in the wild. Also, wild persimons, hickory, maple, oak, pine, dogwood, a zillion other things that you can find in a nursery, are in the wild. That doesn't mean that you can easily transplant them into your garden, if that's what you mean. Some things just need to be container grown. |
Not sure what you are asking. Do you mean what plants are NATIVE to the southeast? Or what plants will do well in the south? What part of SC are you moving to? The climate range is quite broad. FYI, the wisteria that you see so commonly in the south is almost always Chinese Wisteria....something of a thug. It is considered a SEVERE threat on the invasive species list. Also, Mimosa is non-native, as well, and is considered a SIGNIFICANT invasive tree species. If you are more specific regarding your location and your interests, then we can be of more assistance to you. I lived in SC for over 20 years and have some great web sites I can lead to you. |

Tom and Kate are Back. No, not THAT Tom and Kate
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you have read this blog for quite some time, you know that second to being a promoter of vintage fashion, I am a huge fan of clothing that is either sustainable in some way or made domestically. Vintage clothing involves a bit of recycling, but also creating clothing where the maker is employing local people and being gentle with their resources is also of great interest.
Ramblers Way is a small company in Maine that produces basic worsted wool clothing.In fact, the founders of Ramblers Way might be familiar names. Tom and Kate Chappell, founders of Tom's of Maine, are the friendly faces that represent the company. In other words, they have a little bit of experience in launching successful companies. In 2006, they sold a majority share of Tom's of Maine to Colgate. In 2007, they began to set up the sheep farm. At right is a photo of farmer Dave Norman and a friend. Or, should I say, a valued employee of Ramblers Way with his friend Dave Norman. I wondered if they were retiring at that point, but my curiosity has now been satisfied. They are just off on another adventure, developing another product line that is designed with sustainability in mind.
Ramblers Way produces long and short sleeved shirts, long johns, and briefs for the men and women. The pieces are in a natural blond color, which is the color of the wool when it has not been bleached or dyed. The wool comes from the Ramblers Way farm, as well as several other family sheep farms throughout the United States. In fact, they pride themselves on not only making their products in the United States, but all components are made in the US as well. From the shearing, carding, weaving, knitting processes to even the buttons and thread, nothing is sourced from or manufactured overseas.
As far as the items, they are exactly what they have set out to be. They do not make coats and suits like another famous American wool clothing maker, Pendleton, but rather stick to the very basics. Although the shirts look clean and neat by themselves, the clothing is really more perfect for wearing in lieu of a cotton T-Shirt. If you are always grabbing for a long sleeve to stick under a sweatshirt or flannel shirt on a dreary day, it is definitely for you. I found that the price point for particularly mens and ladies briefs to be on the high side ($47-65), especially considering that there was no color choice. However, worsted wool fabric has a natural "recovery" element and they will last many years longer than their cotton counterparts. When you look at the clothing prices, you really need to take that into account. They "don't make things like they used to," but perhaps Ramblers Way does.
What caught my attention was the claim that it "repels moisture and odors through natural wool fiber. Go days without washing, dries quickly, and stay warm even when wet." Well, I hope you do wash it. However, when one is camping or in a similar situation, it is good to know it will hold up. Then, it made me think of the old fashioned bathing suits. Suits in the 1920s were in fact wool. I always thought that bathers would be a bit itchy and hot. If the wool was anything like this superfine spun wool, I bet they were really just fine, and their suit held its shape over the years. The suits that survive certainly have.
If someone handed me an armful of cash, I would probably stock up on a bunch of basics. For my family, the men's crossneck shirt and ladies scoop neck top would be at the top of the list. The ladies scoop neck is low enough to be able to wear under buttoned or V-neck shirts without covering up a necklace, but it remains to be seen if it the material is substantial enough to be worn alone without bra straps showing through. The men's crossneck looks like it could be worn alone, and not just as a layer, which would be handy when the weather just can't make up its mind.
As of this writing, I do not know of any stores that carry Ramblers Way, but you can shop at Ramblers Way online. In fact, if you normally have issues with wool and find that it itches, you may want to request a fabric sample on the site to test it out.
You were probably afraid from the title that this was all going to be about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. I am sorry to disappoint you, or perhaps you are relieved, but this is a TomKat free zone.

I am turning 50 in six months. Even typing those words is surreal, since I still feel 30 and am told I look to be five years older than that. How in god's name did this happen?
When I was a 12-year-old itching to bust out of my conservative, small town, I told myself that I'd be accomplished and financially successful by the time I was 21. That birthday came and went with me waiting tables as a college drop-out, trying to figure out how to make my way in a world that had turned out to be much tougher and meaner than I'd imagined. At age 30, another milestone I had been convinced would find me financially stable and in a great career, I was working with homeless people in Manhattan and living the low-income, high-octane, single girl life I'd dreamed of way back in junior high. By the time I was 40 and stability certainly should have arrived, I'd moved to LA and was making a ton of money, but I wasn't happy. There was a huge hole in my life where meaning should have been.
Now, approaching the big 5-0, I find myself financially strapped again, but married to an extraordinary man and working harder on something than I've ever worked before: being married. My career has taken yet another turn and I can finally see some progress. But perhaps the biggest difference in my life at 50 will be my relationship with myself. I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I've ever been and feel more capable of making positive changes. That's the real gift of time passing, I guess. Not outward signs of it, like money and a big career, but the inward signs of self-acceptance and growth.
No matter old how you are, try to focus on what you're accomplishing along the way instead of assuming that an upcoming birthday is going to magically deliver your goals and dreams.

We just moved and I sold my old KitchenAid mixer in anticipation of eventually buying the Pro 6 qt model. DH just suggested that we buy this as our single Christmas gift to each other - I get the mixer and he gets Christmas cookies ;)
The price seem to be the same everywhere, in local stores and online, although I'm not sure if I can expect them to go on sale in the next few weeks. Years ago I bought an appliance at William Sonoma because they guaranteed everything - if you ever had a problem, you'd bring it back to them and they'd replace it. Don't know if this is still the case. Are the Kitchenaid prices pretty much fixed? Anyplace else I should be looking? Thanks! |

"The price seem to be the same everywhere" Yes, which is common for the higher-end brand names. Many have prices set at the regional level via specific distributors. If you haven't tried using Froogle.com (online retailer Search portion of Google), I suggest you do. Also, the link to Shopping.com below. FWIW. KitchenAid banned all online pricing/sales at the start of 2005, but has since relaxed their policies as sales took a hit. I got a great deal on a KitchenAid mixer at Amazon one year ago. It was a wedding gift... TJ |

Williams & Sonoma still has the warranty. I'd purchased a Henkels Pro S knife a few years back and dropped it. The knife landed pointy end down on our ceramic tile floors. The blade just poof snapped right in two pieces. Really surprised me. Anyway, I returned it to Williams & Sonoma and they gave me a new knife on the spot. Can't do much better than that. |

national chains, like Bed and bath or linens and things, usually have 20% off coupons. Scoot over to JC Penney and download the KA $50 rebate....you just saved $120 off the 600 pro. |
Also check out Costco. Their return policy is exceptional. |
Thanks everyone! Janedibber - BIG thanks for the rebate, must be brand new because when I searched last week all I could find was a rebate for a free cookbook. Looks like BB&B would be cheapest, with a 20% coupon. But we do have credit card points I just discovered we can redeem for William Sonoma, so I could buy there at the higher price (but still get the rebate) without spending cash and have their lifetime warranty (did call and they still do this). Decisions, decisions ;) |

I don't know where you're located, but here in the DC area, Hecht's dept. store has had some amazing sales on kitchenaid mixers (I think all 3 models). I don't remember specifics, but it seemed that if you hit their reduced price and used the store coupon, the prices were about 1/3 off. I'm not sure if you could do this on Hechts.com (they do have a website, but I'm not positive that's it) or there might be a local dept. store near you that sometimes has great sales. It seemed better than 20% off. I'd like to ask some mixer advice. I've never had an electric mixer (at age 47) and never really baked (and am fairly inexperienced at cooking too - though i intend to change that). So I thought this purchase was not one I needed right away (new kitchen etc.) - unless I discovered that I'd use it. Two things have made me reconsider. One is that I really like The Barefoot Contessa cookbook, and in many recipes she says to use a mixer with paddle attachment - [can I substitute and use the plastic blade in a food processor - or is that too weak]. And then my mother came to help me sort through my kitchen equiptment. She believes that having an electric mixer is close to essential in a kitchen. Again, I don't know if I can substitute a food processor. Other than for baking cakes, what would I use a mixer for that I couldn't handle with combination of electric hand mixer, old immersion blender, food processor? And finally - which KA mixer should I get. Is bigger better - or is it overkill if you're not a serious baker? Thanks everyone. |
Doesn't Williams-Sonoma give you a 10% off coupon if you buy a gift certificate? I do think that it is only good after Christmas, but if you could wait, that might help. I was planning to buy a gift certificate for myself to use after Christmas. I always get gift money, and that is where I love to use it! |
Lynnalexandra - I have a large KA mixer that was my mothers, a small hand mixer and a Bamix. I never use the two mixers. I cook a lot. I make a lot of bread, some pies, not much else baking. I tried the large mixer a couple years ago on pumpkin pie but it was overkill. Since then I just use a whisk. 90% of my use of the Bamix is eggs. I fluff them up, start them on the stove, add cheese and throw them in the oven to brown. They come out really puffy. Our grandson loves them that way (me too!) I can't answer the Barefoot Contessa thing but my mother used her mixers for everything. Maybe it's just a generational thing, but I never do. Maybe someday I'll find something I need it for. (by the way, I feel the same way about food processors. Part of me thinks it would be cool to use one, then I get out my knives or chopper and it's done. Same thing, someday I may find a reason and get one) Ken |
- Posted by Lynnalexandra (My Page) on Thu, Dec 1, 05 at 22:28
Thanks, Ken. I think that if I try to make bread and find the food processor doesn't cut it, maybe then I'll consider the KA mixer. As I've been cooking, I found that I too, discovered that I like the tactile part of cutting food. And hadn't used my processor lately. But the other day, I was trying a quick meals recipe with my daughter, which called for minced celery and onion - and I must say it was nice to stick it in the processor and be done. Partly as a time saver (and bc. cutting onions is not a cutting job I enjoy). partly bc. it was good to minimize time with the knife when my 6 yo was helping. let us move quickly on to the parts she could help with. So I guess I'll still use my processor. I know I'm drifting off topic here, but I had wondered about the Bamix. That I could see using, but wondered if it wasn't overkill since I have an old Braun immersion blender (which works great on soup), a food processor and a Cuisinart little pro processor (that our neighbor gave us when they moved to Europe). Can I justify the Bamix? Should I put it on my holiday wish list? Thanks. |
Hi Everyone - I ended up purchasing my Pro 6 qt model last night from William Sonoma with redeemed American Express points. So, I paid the going price, which is a little higher than I could have found it by shopping around locally, but I didn't have to spend cash, per see. Plus, I'll get a $50 rebate! WS does still have a lifetime warranty on appliances, so if I have any problems, I return it directly to them and they either replace it or have it repaired for me. That's worth the slightly higher price to me, although hopefully I'll never have to use the service. Looking forward to trying it out this week :) Am I crazy to be so excited about a new appliance?! |
Where is the rebate form? I looked at Penny's and on the Kitchenaid website and could not find it. Thanks for any help. |
It's only on the 6qt pro model, but if you go to the page on the Penney's site and look just above the color choice pictures, you see a link for the rebate form. I also googled "Kitchenaid Pro 600" and found a link to it. Doesn't appear to matter where you buy the mixer. |
I had a very pleasant experience with Williams-Sonoma regarding a Kitchen Aid item. I have owned a KA stand mixer for many years, saw in their catolgue there's an ice cream-making bowl available for it. I ordered it last December. I think it was $79.99. Then in January WS sent me a refund check for $20 explaining that it was a rebate. There was no mention of this in the catalog nor on the phone when I ordered it. What a nice post-Christmas surprise! In my opinion, WS is a stand-up company. I would give them my business again! |
Jannie - an ice cream bowl??? Details PLEASE :) |
