We're excited to be included in this year's offiical Vivid walking tour (number 32 on the map), with an amazing light sculpture on display in the main entrance of The Argyle, 'Flocking Birds' by Jon Voss.
We've even put on a special Vivid Cocktail on so be sure to come in for a drink!
'Flocking Birds' by Jon Voss
Flocking Birds is an embodiment of form, elegance and implied freedom of flocking Starlings. The birds in their massive numbers create beautiful, fluid shapes and subsequent dark shadows in the sky. The piece seeks to replicate this through the use of many individual sculptural elements, replacing the dark shadows for brilliant warm reflected light.
The piece will consist of two hundred, 24 carat gold plated stainless steel birds hung from a cable and net rigging overhead. Each bird is contorted into individual moments within their flight and then spot lighted with narrow beam LED lighting. The resultant subtle movement caused by the wind will allow for a scattering of quivering reflected light beams around the space. The viewer is subsequently treated to a light show of warm optimism and natural elegance in this historic city location.

March 6th and I just unearthed several paper bags of seeds that I saved from last summer. They were stored in a dry place indoors under climate controlled conditions. I really love Fire Pink (silene virginica), but worry that they should have had a cold period before I attempt to start them. Can someone/s please advise me it they need to be chilled or stratified?
Same question for black eyed susan seed(rudbekia) and Wild blue indigo seed (Baptisia australis) I hope to increase my planting of all three of the above. We have only one Wild blue indigo plant that is approx. 5 years old, and I have yet to have any success with starting the seed. DH bought two white wild indigo plants at a native nursery last spring and they were in the ground less than 3 days before the voles ate off their roots. I don't have any seed from the white and we will probably try more this year, protecting them in deeply dug holes with fine mesh chicken wire cages around them. Would appreciate any input on the proper treatment of these seeds. Thank You!!!!! |

I just planted Silene regia, which needs stratification. Rudbeckia could probably go either way. Baptisia I've always had trouble with - maybe nicking it would help? |
All need cold, moist stratification, but Rudbeckia might germinate without. Sixty days is usually long enough so if you plant them now in seedling pots and put in the fridge, you can take them out in early May and they should be up by June. Baptisa seeds should be gently rubbed with sandpaper before sowing. |
What if these seed pods were outside all winter. I discovered one seed pod on my baptisa that no creature ate, and didn't fall to the ground, although the pod was open. Can I plant these without putting them in the refrige. We had a cold winter. |
I volunteer in a garden in which the Baptisia self sows readily any place we have not used pre-emergent. I am trying to give the seedlings to folks before someone decides to weed the area. They are from this past fall. The Silene regia I grew via winter sowing and got so many I gave containers with seedlings away. I am really hooked on that winter sowing for most of the natives...even found out that Cullina was correct in allowing the containers to remain undisturbed for more than two seasons. This year I had trilliums and three containers of Sol. seal that finally germinated. To me it is like a miracle...which is why I like native plants! Oh, Veronica, I think the stratification means AFTER the seeds are in the soil. |

Celebrate summer this year with the Red Barn by participating in the annual Cherry Pit Spit on August 3rd, 2013. Come for an afternoon of family fun and prizes and to spit your pit and see how far your hot air can make it fly.
The Red Barn donates 100% of the proceeds from this event and the profit from the days ice cream sales to a local charity or cause. Cost to spit is $1.00.
Championship Rounds include the top 10 spitters from the men and women participants and the top five spitters from the youth age group divisions which include: 5& under, 6-8 and 9-12.
Competition Rules:
- The contest is open to everyone regardless of age or gender.
- All contestants must register in qualifying court prior to spitting, unless spitter is awarded a special exemption by the official tournament judge. Registration deadline is 12:00 noon on day of Championship.
- No foreign objects may be held in the mouth which would give an advantage in spitting the pit.
- The contestant's foul line will be determined on a handicap basis according to height, in order to remove any advantage to taller contestants. The handicap will consist of a two-inch (50.8 mm) withdrawal from the base foul line for each one-inch (25.4 mm) of contestant height over four feet (1.21 m). Any contestant four feet tall or less will stand at the base foul line. The decision of the tournament line judge is final.
- Contestants must select three cherries from the regulation variety (Montmorency) supplied by the tournament committee. Cherries must be washed and chilled to 55-60oF pit temperature.
- Each cherry must be inserted in the mouth whole, all soluble solids eaten prior to spitting of the pit. No part of the cherry may be removed from the mouth after insertion.
- Each contestant must spit his/her pit within 60 seconds of the time he/she is called to the line by the tournament judge. Three spits are allowed. The longest of three is recorded. If a pit is swallowed, that spit is forfeited.
- Contestants' hands must remain below the shoulders (to avoid popping one's cheeks).
- Contestants' feet may not touch or cross the foul line.
- Spitters must stand flat on the ground -- or ground level platform -- to spit. Spitters are prohibited from using any kind of mechanical or other device to improve body thrust or spit length (including hydraulic hoists, wall support, etc.).

Honestly you may want to reconcider nursing schoool and nursing as a career especially if you are uncomfortable touching people. As an RN you will have to touch people in order to do some of the above as well as assessments. You will also need to administer medications and some of them will be rectal or vaginal.

My darling husband of 32 years passed away in July of 2011 after a long battle with cancer. It was a horrible shock, and although we thought we were dealing with it, it is now two years later, and we have discovered that we were not. I especially have not. I am learning to survive alone, and am learning to feed myself again.
I have been blessed with three wonderful sons who I am very close with. We work together, play together and share food with one another. I have two beautiful grandsons as well, and they remind me of joys from days past, future and most importantly present. And finally, there are other women in the family, I have two wonderful daughter in laws.
After a stint in a family business, I have resigned myself to the need to extricate myself and close the company. My sons need to proceed on their own - without me - so that they may truly spread their wings. What a liberating feeling - and sad at the same time.
Happy cooking everyone, I am happy to have found this place to share recipes and ideas with other people who enjoy food as much as I do.
Too many favorites to list.
Love soups, broths, stews, etc. I love to bake breads and pies, anything sweet. Love to try new foods but have to be careful because hubby doesn't like certain flavors and sometimes won't eat something because of the name.
All three boys are in the process of moving out or moving on, and have asked that I "teach" them how to cook. I am compiling books of their favorites when I have a chance with the idea that they'll one day be able to cook for themselves and hopefully ask us over to dinner occasionally. My husband is dreaming of the day when he can have a meal on "their couch" for a change. We always did take our meals at the table, but when we weren't looking... I would really love to learn to make GOOD chinese food. I remember having REAL Chinese food in Vancouver's China Town when I was very young, haven't ever had close since. . .it's a kind of goal. Maybe Uncle Bill can help!!

Which way now for enterprise social? A guide for vendors and buyers
In a business context, social has long-since evolved beyond customer-facing marketing strategies; it's become an integral corporate workplace tool.
We've seen numerous examples of technologies designed to bring the ease of social into the boardroom, and as the enterprise social software (ESS) becomes increasingly ingrained in standard workplace operations, the social biz is looking ahead to future developments in the area. Helpfully, IDC MarketScape's report 'Worldwide Enterprise Social Software 2012 Vendor Analysis' is able to shed some light on what's on the horizon.
According to the report: "Organizations are now seeking solutions that not only support internal knowledge sharing and information dissemination, but also build customers, partners, and suppliers into a more externally focused and strategic decision-making process."
Indeed, there's a lot of jargon in the report, but sifting through it reveals that businesses are – by-and-large – ready to take ESS to the next level. Simply 'connecting' is no longer enough.
Leading the enterprise social software pack in terms of strategy and capability is Socialcast, it seems. Thanks to a seamless blending across clients, external group collaboration, comprehensive archiving and the ability to link business systems and services together in a secure but open application framework has, IDC says, "given the company a leadership position" – other vendors would do well to look to them for insight.
IDC has also offered guidance for both vendors and buyers in the ESS arena, which should be heeded as closely as possible to ensure business model sustainability over the next three to five years.
- Customers expect seamless native and in-application experience as standard, which should be implemented across all application interfaces.
- ESS must support a variety of open standards – at the very least OAUth, Activitystre.ms and Open Graph – to "foster a community of developers that will build solution extensions and integrations and eventually integrate social solutions together".
- Data models need to be "extensible" to customers so that any data generated through the ESS can be analysed as appropriate.
- ESS should include secure group options to allow users to bring in external parties for active collaboration.
- ESS will need to include task and workflow management to facilitate social processes at the point of work.
- At a very basic level, ESS should at least contribute to increased productivity.
- As networks expand, be prepared for employees' knowledge to expand beyond their expected specifications as feedback and expert engagement leads to increased sharing and learning.
- ESS is not a 'quick fix' solution. "It required the support of solution champions and community management as well as an active technical support community provided by the vendor."
- Consider how new ESS solutions will integrate with existing applications, and how the portfolio will take shape in the future – this will help to dictate future purchases and also identify areas requiring attention.

Empowering consumers through improving financial capability
Lord Turner, chairman of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), said today that a clear regulatory commitment to deliver consumer protection needs to be combined with policies to build customer capability.
Speaking at the FSA's Financial Capability 'Helping Consumers through the Recession' conference in Cambridge, he outlined the increasing importance of protecting consumers through regulation but said that this must be dovetailed with improved consumer financial capability.
Lord Turner said: "It is common sense that people armed with skills, such as budgeting and planning ahead, as well as up-to-date information about new products, will be better able to cope with what life throws at them. It is also common sense that consumers will be more confident and trusting if they know a robust system of consumer protection is in place to ensure firms act in good faith."
The FSA's financial capability programme aims to enable better informed, educated and more confident consumers, who are able to take greater responsibility for their financial affairs and play a more active role in the market for financial services. Individual projects focus on specific groups in the population, targeting information and help to the specific circumstances they are facing. These groups include new parents, young adults, students, employees and people in further or higher education, as well as people requiring generic money guidance. This year's conference will explore ways to reach people facing redundancy, the unemployed and hard-pressed families.
However, Lord Turner stated that education, guidance and capability won't, by themselves, empower consumers. Consumers need to be confident that firms will protect their interests, confident the regulator will make sure that happens and confident that there are safeguards in place if things go wrong.
This is why, in the last 12 months, the FSA has:
o increased compensation limits for depositors, dramatically increasing financial security for consumers
o taken swift action to ensure firms didn't apply unfair terms in tracker mortgages which would have allowed them not to pass on base interest rate reductions
o moved decisively to ensure that when consumers seek out independent advice, that they are receiving the best product for them, not simply the one which gives the adviser the best commission
o pushed forward on reforms to the payment protection insurance (PPI) market, for example on single premium PPI
o started preparing enforcement actions against firms it recently investigated regarding their mortgage arrears practices
Lord Turner went on to state that markets may not always work for the consumer and, sometimes, human behaviour means that too much choice can result in consumers taking no action. This means that radical questions need to be asked about how financial markets function and how the regulator should respond. These questions include:
o Can there be too much innovation in some markets – with complexity acting as a barrier to understanding?
o Are some products too complex to be sold to consumers at all?
o Should we be prepared to intervene on pricing, even at the expense of access to the market for some people?
Lord Turner concluded: "I don't pretend to have all the answers to these questions today. Or, indeed, that there are blanket answers that apply to every market or product. But what is clear is that consumer protection, financial capability and market intervention to protect consumers needs to be seen as part of an integrated strategy. And this needs to be grounded in an understanding of what role each element plays in empowering consumers and building their confidence in the market."

NJ LUSO Rangers News Release -- www.lusosocceracademy.com
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. -- The NJ LUSO Rangers are excited to announce the signing of an integral spot in the starting eleven with returning goalkeeper Paul Killian. A standout at Division III school the Stevens Institute of Technology, Killian returns to the Rangers as the D3soccer.com First Team All-American and National Goalkeeper of the Year.
Rangers coach Carlos Rasoilo is a firm believer in building the team from the bottom up, and this signing shows his commitment to that philosophy. After the 2012 season had just ended, Rasoilo had his eyes set on getting Killian's commitment for the 2013 PDL season. Once receiving that commitment, Rasoilo was also able to return five defenders from last year's defense. The group includes three-year PDL players Philip Cunha, Luis Andre, Jason Gorskie, Pedro Vilar and captain Alex Brito. Looking to continue the success from the club's finest season in its history, Rasoilo is comfortable with the addition of a couple of players to last year's defensive corps.
During the PDL offseason, Killian led Stevens Institute of Technology to a Top 10 ranking in the NSCAA Coaches Poll as he recorded 12 shutouts. Killian's performances earned him a 0.33 goals against-average, placing him third in Division III, and a .910 save percentage, good for second in the nation. For his standout achievements, Killian earned a list of awards, including First Team All-Empire 8 Conference, Empire 8 All-Tournament Team, Empire 8 Tournament MVP, NSCAA First Team All-East Region, and ECAC All-Star First Team.
"I was not at all surprised with the season Paul had for college," Rasoilo said. "He continued where he left off in PDL for the Rangers. I believe he is an underrated goalkeeper because he picked studies over sports for his college. I would not be surprised if he would put up the same stats in Division I."
Killian's season was capped by his selection as a D3soccer.com First Team All-American and National Goalkeeper of the Year. The Rangers hope Killian continues his success into the 2013 PDL season. The Rangers kick off the new season on May 12, when they host the F.A. Euro - New York Magic at Drew University.


text: Reaction Paper You will write a 4-5 page reaction paper to the book Man's Search for Meaning. The reaction paper should only briefly discuss the contents of the book (less than one page). Pay careful attention that you do not simply summarize the book. Instead, the bulk of the paper should contain your reactions to the material, what you liked and did not like, and why. Write about connections with other material we have discussed, read, and studied. Take a creative angle. For example, discuss what it would be like to be in therapy with Dr. Frankl (perhaps provide a brief transcript of a session if you were his client). The Reaction Paper will be worth 100 points. |

Caroline has truly made the house into a home. Mark, John, and I took a long weekend to see how Caroline and Audrey have been, to take care of a few odds and ends, and to see how the house is working. They really love the place and save for a few issues, the house works pretty well. There is a distinct temperature difference between outside and inside, the interior being warmer. That good since it's winter down there now. Caroline says that the house keeps a pretty consistent temperature, but the mornings are cool which is expected. They said that they usually start a fire in the morning. They are still waiting on electricity, so they aren't able to use the cistern yet, but they are using the water runoff from the scupper on the south end which they currently collect in the blue can in the photo. Even on an overcast day the house is well lit and didn't need extra lighting. They also hooked up a propane tank so they are able to use their stove to cook. The space between the trombe wall and glazing warms up nicely and Caroline has made good use of the space to grow a number of plants. She was even able to get a cutting to sprout from one of the largest trees in the grove. The green and other colors of the plants look great against the rammed earth wall. We might have made the wall too thick however, as they have noticed that the interior bedroom side surface of the wall doesn't warm up as much as the glazing side. I wonder though if it does during the night while they're asleep? The copper on the gutter looks nice with the patina that is forming. Caroline also was able to get some trees planted around the site.
Caroline's house is up for an AIA award. Please vote for us for the reader's choice portion of the award. http://extras.sltrib.com/specials/AIAcontest/
A new site for the Concrete Competition where we were awarded a honorable mention is up.

Donna Andrews
Donna Andrews was born in Yorktown, Virginia (the setting of Murder with Peacocks and
Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos); attended the University of Virginia; and now lives and works in Reston, Virginia. When not writing fiction, Andrews is a self-confessed nerd, rarely found without her laptop. She is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and the Private Investigators and Security Association.
What she writes: Witty, suspenseful, and heavy on the humor, Donna Andrews writes about a likable heroine Meg Langslow, a "decorative blacksmith." Meg, with a cast of offbeat supporting characters, wends her way through life. A good read for cozy readers looking for a lighthearted romp with loads of laughs, where the characters tend to outshine the mystery.
The Turing Hopper series follows Andrews's humorous bent, but readers of her Meg Langslow series may be surprised to learn that the main character, Turing Hopper, is an Artificial Intelligence Personality, an almost-sentient computer. This series has a high tech flavor and may appeal more to readers comfortable with computer technology and science fiction.

What the critics say |
Regarding Murder with Peacocks - "Loquacious dialog, persistent humor, and interrupted romance brand the 1997 winner of the publisher's "Malice Domestic" contest. A fun, breezy read." - Library Journal (January 1, 1999) |
Regarding You've Got Murder - "Ever since HAL ran off the rails in 2001, it's been only a matter of time until somebody put a computer to work on the right side of the law. Turing fills the bill with more energy and charm than most fictional detectives." - Kirkus Reviews (February 15, 2002) |
Regarding Owls Well That Ends Well - "As usual, Andrews provides plenty of fun, including Meg's penchant for reciting collective nouns that pertain to birds, such as a "parliament of owls" and a "murmuration of starlings." Another laugh-out-loud lark that will leave readers singing Andrews' praises." - Booklist (March 15, 2005) |

Israel Refuses Entry to Famed Clown
And Spain isn't laughing
Ivan Prado might be "the most famous clown in Spain"—whatta title!—but that wasn't enough to prevent Israel's security force from barring his entry to Israel. Prado arrived at Ben-Gurion International Airpot last month along with a female "Spanish national of Arab origin," with plans to travel to Ramallah for an international clown festival (!). After interviewing him and his companion repeatedly about possible connections to terrorist organizations, Shin Bet decided to refuse their entry to the country. It's now turned into a minor diplomatic incident with Spain.

try to get dreamweaver form somewhere, it should help you alot.
frontpage is good too, for the beginners
but you learn more with dreamweaver
I know many of you folks have your own web pages. So how do you go about building them?
What programs do you use?
What features do you like to include?
Personally I write all the HTML for my sites using a simple text editor called EditPadLite. I'm completely anal about the code I include so I prefer to do all the coding myself. If I want to add a fun script, I usually find a good php script at hotscripts.com.
Clan? What Clan?
I'm the Master. I need no Clan.

yeah, dreamweaver will really solve a lot of your problems. as for being a hardcore html coder, one thing you have to keep in mind is that being stubborn on doing a certain thing a certain way (as in writing every single line of html) is a extremely bad way of doing things in this world.
I don't have any problems with my code. I prefer writing the code myself because I can organize it so as to make the debug easier. Also I have an easier time learning what the code does if I had to input it myself.Originally Posted by Rou
As for Dreamweaver, many folks use it, but I'm not interested in purchasing it. Since I'm not a professional developer I can't justify purchasing the software. I know that a lot of people swear by Dreamweaver, but I can't justify its purchase when I have better things to spend my money on.
Clan? What Clan?
I'm the Master. I need no Clan.
Mine is mostly Invisionboard and hacks for it XD I do make layouts for download but thats the only HTML I do.
I use Dreamweaver for all the edits I do to my site ^_^
notepad :P or emacs on linux
i'm a little old shool i can do intermediate html/dhtml and basic java
Notepad!?Originally Posted by ligar
i so hate notepad, thats y dreamweaver is here for < 3
Dreamweaver is for the html part,
But if you wanna do layouts Try out PS=Photo Shop
lol i'm a notepad user too, or any other basic text editor (ie: Crimson Editor) hm.....i code out what I want myself and if I want extras, I look it up and tweak it to my liking.
Old school is the way to go

@Earwig Amazing.
@Axil Work with evenly spaced bars for now and try to make your outline crisp and not wobbly. The 3d on the top of the R shouldn't be so rounded off as well. Other than that good work keeping it simple. Keep drawing.
Just a sketch. I hate the D.

Cred- add some 3D to that i want to see how it will look + do u write or do u just do paper
Cyfer - sick colors what markers do u use?
@always crushin - I think that on that last one you posted it would look so much nicer without the outer outline. Part from that it pretty dope.
@Axil - Wtf is happening with that w... The middle line of it is taller then the rest, that dont look to good.. Plus work on your outlining, it way to shaky.
@Cred - Nice simple sketch I like it , only criticism is that D like you said, I think if you just didn't put the edge going down in early, just let it be even with the rest it would look dope, if you get what I meaning..
wrd thanks man

I bought my Mother's house when She passed away. She had some BEAUTIFUL peonies that bloomed Burgandy. She called them japanese peonies. We had to transplant them to extend our deck and I lost them. They were Mom's favorite plant in the yard and I am trying depretely to replace it. Does anyone know where I can locate one? I am SICK!!!

Thanks so much for your response. The leaves were almost fern-like. They were small and feathery. I don't know if that is making sense or not. lol. I can't seem to find it. From looking at different pics it also had to be a double bloom plant. Again, thank you for responding! Connie |
Connie, take a look at Paeonia tenuifolia (fernleaf Peony) (you can see pictures on the right side of the page. Is this what you are looking for? If so, Klem's has plenty of them for sale. |
- Posted by plantlover_2008 zone 5 MO (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 08 at 20:24
Oh, alina 1... That is it!!!!! Thank you so much for finding the pic! I looked on Klem's and I could only find the single bloom. She had the double. I will continue to look. I believe (according to that pic) it is called Rubra Flora Plena. You have helped so much. Awesome! Connie |
You are very welcome Connie! Sorry, I did not notice that you wanted double. Check out A & D Nursery and Peony Garden web sites. They both have P. tenuifolia Rubra Plena. The fernleaf Peonies are rather expensive, but do not buy them from Spring Hill and other vendors that are not reputable: there is a big possibility that Peonies from them will not be true to name. You can find other Peony sellers here. Good luck! |

alina 1 YOU ARE THE BEST!!! If you only knew how much your help means to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also appreciate your advise on the nurseries. I am not familiar with the vendors and I am sure you have saved my from a headache. You are very informative. Connie |
Connie, thanks for the kind words! |

I write family histories.
Many people call it genealogy, but I make a distinction. I've explained the difference by pointing out that genealogy is a hobby dedicated to creating a family tree. Family histories, I explain, put some leaves on that tree by telling the stories of the people who populate its branches.
But this week, blogging guru Mike Sansone, a conversation conductor extraordinaire, described it as adding the fruit to a family tree. I like Mike's version better.
After all, the stories of our ancestors nourish us and give us the sustenance of our family legacies. How's your family tree doing? Is it bearing the fruit of your ancestors?

Congratulations to Dr. Judea Pearl! Winner of the 2011 Harvey Prize!
First awarded in 1972, Technion's prestigious Harvey Prize was created as a bridge of goodwill between Israel and the nations of the world. It is considered a good predictor of the Nobel Prize.
In Causality: Models, Reasoning and Inference, 2nd Edition, Judea Pearl offers a comprehensive exposition of modern analysis of causation. It shows how causality has grown from a nebulous concept into a mathematical theory with significant applications in the fields of statistics, artificial intelligence, economics, philosophy, cognitive science, and the health and social sciences. Judea Pearl presents and unifies the probabilistic, manipulative, counterfactual, and structural approaches to causation and devises simple mathematical tools for studying the relationships between causal connections and statistical associations. Cited in more than 2,100 scientific publications, it continues to liberate scientists from the traditional molds of statistical thinking. In this revised edition, Judea Pearl elucidates thorny issues, answers readers' questions, and offers a panoramic view of recent advances in this field of research. Causality will be of interest to students and professionals in a wide variety of fields.

I've had a horrible problem with mildew on the grout in my shower for the past few months. I can clean it and the mildew is back in a day or so. We've been in this house (new) for less than two years and it didn't start happening until a few months ago. Any ideas about why it would be happening now? How often does grout need to be sealed? Could that be the problem?
Thanks! Cis |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know if this makes any difference, but did you ever apply a sealer to the grout? Builders and remodelers do not seal the grout - they leave it up to you to do. But even if it isn't sealed, you shouldn't be getting mildew if the shower stall is properly ventilated. If it were my house, I would do several things: a water test on the grout to see if it needs to be sealed or resealed; a really good cleaning with a bleach solution, and then figure out how to ventilate the area better. In one house that we lived in, we bought a tower fan that had a built-in timer. We placed it in front of the shower stall and set it to run for an hour after everyone had showered. |

I've got mine sprayed with bleach right now. Getting mold on a few grout lines where tile meets tub. Its been gone for a long time, since I realized I should leave the shower doors open on both sides till shower dries. I always have the window open in summer, but now that its cold, there is less air movement in there so it takes even longer to dry I'm thinking. Do you run an exhaust fan when you shower? That helps too and you're supposed to leave it running for at least 20 minutes afterwards to get moisture out of the room. I don't leave it running that long, but know I should. Graywings, good idea about the fan, but it would be in the way here. Sandy |
"Getting mold on a few grout lines where tile meets tub" that area should be chaulked w/siliconized latex chalk - not grout |
The guy that installed the tile sealed all of the grout in the house. That was a little over a year and a half ago. I'm going to get more sealant this wknd and do it over, just in case. I really hope that will cure my problem. I cleaned it quite well and now 1) run the exhaust fan 2) spray the shower with "No Work" after each shower and 3) prop the shower door open. The shower has 1.5 glass walls and 2.5 tile walls. I can see where it isn't getting a whole lot of ventilation even though the top is open. Thanks so much for your replies. |
Cista: Don't put more sealant on the grout until you are SURE the mildew is gone. If the mildew is behind, or in the grout, and you seal it, you'll never get the grout clean. It sounds like you may have a problem with the ventilation. Make sure the fan runs about an hour after everyone is done in the bathroom. Ellen |
I too am having the same problem. I have been using the Clorox Bleach Pen. I draw a line on the grout and let it sit for an hour. Then I take a toothbrush and scrub it off, then rinse. This does us for a month or so and then the black is back on the grout. We do run the ceiling vent and open the window. I am thinking that we need a stronger powered ceiling vent installed. |

I bought some mildew remover in the bathroom cleaner section of the store - no idea what brand, I expect they all work. When mold shows up I spray it with the mildew remover and it stays gone about a week. We have trouble in the spring and the fall here with mold in the bathrooms. |
- Posted by gapeachmom (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 07 at 12:23
We had similar problem. Mold was trapped in by lime and or soap scum. We had to get rid of that first. KABOOM! I also use boat hull cleaner to white grout. It is a form of O2. Water soluable. |

Alias Focuses Exclusively On Christian Comics
An interesting development concerning Alias Enterprises has been circulating around the 'net for a month or so. Thank goodness this isn't a general news site...we can be forgiven for being late-comers!
It seems that the fledgling comics company will be publishing Christian material exclusively, beginning January of '07. This is a point of interest to me for a few reasons:
1) I have reviewed a few of the properties Alias has published/distributed - David's Mighty Men, David: A Shepherd's Song and Armorquest, and found them all to be of above-average quality.
2) I believe there really NEEDS to be a company out there informing the comics-reading public, as well as the public-at-large that there are talented people within the Chrstian communtiy producing great comics. It's fairly obvious that the "Big Two," much like Hollywood, largely avoid any kind of Christian commentary, except when they're taking shots at evangelicals.
3) As a Christian minister, I just like it. It's what I'm about.
Also impressive is that Alias Comics' Executive Director Mike Miller is all for the change, even though it means three of his own comics creations will have to find a new home. That's commitment, folks! He has also stated that Alias will be doing all it can to help creators of other comics properties they are currently publishing find new publishers.
Read more on the story here and here.

Crime Solvers needs your help to identify two men who stole jewelry from Diamond Concepts in the Chesterfield Towne Center at 11501 Midlothian Tnpk. on Friday, July 17.
While an employee was helping another customer, one suspect used a tool to pry the glass from a display case and the second suspect reached in and stole three rings. They were 4.5-, 3.25, and 3.5-carat diamond rings with white gold bands. Surveillance cameras captured images of the suspects, who wiped the glass with a sweatshirt before they left the store.
Both suspects are between 25 and 40 years old. You may view photos of the suspects at www.crimesolvers.net.

Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound & Weird Owl Tour!
Tim Green makes the most of the languid complexities found in these eight misty, keening, often prog-tinged songs this one feels like a keeper; a mellow companion piece to another recent record out of this scene, Sleepy Suns Embrace." John Mulvey, Uncut UK
San Franciscos Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound is a soundtrack for strange days and futures bright and bleak. But there is also a crooked thread that runs backward through every Assemble Head recordthe celestial trajectories of The Notorious Byrd Brothers and circa 70 Floyd; the dusty canyon stomps of Crazy Horse, slashing action pop of the savage young Who, Italian bastardizations of Lalo Schifrin cop movie scores, and the scuzz-bomb shrapnel of latter-day garage mongers like Mudhoney and Monoshock. The bands third LP, When Sweet Sleep Returned, is propelled to some extent by that same glorious distillate. But it also finds the group speaking their own twisted tongue more assuredly than evermarrying hazy Saturday moods, interstellar sonics and wrecking-ball swing to song and harmony in poems for California, lovers, ghosts, the stars, and a world gone stark raving mad. For When Sweet Sleep Returned, Assemble Head re-united with engineering mastermind Tim Green, who manned the controls for masterpieces from Howlin Rain, Comets on Fire, Six Organs of Admittance, and Earthless, as well as Assemble Heads 2007 release Ekranoplan.

'Frozen,' 'Thor' Sequel Heat Up Disney First Quarter Results
The success of the animated musical "Frozen" and Marvel's "Thor: The Dark World" helped boost the Walt Disney Co's first fiscal quarter results for 2014, with gaining 9% to $12.3 billion, while profits came in at $1.8 billion, an increase of 27%.
Disney's first quarter wrapped Dec. 28, 2013, capping a strong holiday period for the company. Its fiscal year typically ends in September.
"We had an incredibly strong first quarter, delivering a 32% increase in adjusted earnings per share and double-digit increases in operating income in all business segments," said Robert Iger, chairman and CEO, the Walt Disney Co. "These results reflect the strength of our unprecedented portfolio of brands, a constant focus on creativity and innovation, and the continued success of our long-term strategy."
In fact, Iger was almost giddy during a call with investors to discuss the results after Wall Street ended trading on Wednesday.
He was especially high on the studio division and the potential hits that will come from its core Disney, Marvel, Pixar and now Lucasfilm brands.
"In today's global marketplace big franchise films play extremely well," he said, noting that half of the world's top 20 grossing films were produced by Pixar, Marvel, Disney or Lucasfilm.
"I sound like a huge cheerleader for the Disney brands," Iger said during the call, thrilled by the quarterly results.
"Our ability to leverage the success of these characters and franchises across the company and the world is signicant and will only grow in significance," Iger said, adding that the Mouse House isn't looking to add to its portfolio with new acquisitions "right now." The brands it already has "have growth potential by creating new franchises," he said.
Disney said its film division saw a 23% increase in revenue, earning $1.9 billion primarily from the success of "Frozen" and the "Thor" sequel. The hits helped boost profits by 75% to $409 million.
"Frozen," which Iger said has passed "The Lion King" as Walt Disney Animation Studios' biggest hit, has earned $865 million worldwide to date, while "Thor: The Dark World" is at $633 million.
International prospects for "Frozen" continue to be strong with the toon having earned $45 million in Korea, the most for a Disney animated film there. It also opened in China this week and bows in Japan on March 15.
Declines in the home video market also leveled off during the quarter, but it should be noted the holidays often drive purchases of films as consumers look to movies as items to give as gifts.
Still, Iger said it also helps that Disney is "making movies that stand a better chance at doing well in secondary markets," like traditional and digital home video platforms.
Disney's media networks, its biggest moneymaker, saw revenue rise 4% to $5.3 billion, while profits increased 20% to nearly $1.5 billion.
Revenue rose 6% to nearly $3.8 billion at the cable division, which includes ESPN, Disney Channel and A&E. Profits were up 34% to nearly $1.3 billion. Sales at ABC dipped 2% to $1.5 billion, lowering profits by 32% to $178 million.
Iger said Disney would broker a new deal with Dish to air its channels.
Sales at its theme parks and resorts rose 6% to nearly $3.6 billion, while profits rose 16% to $671 million, as guests spent more at its domestic parks and resorts during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Disney continues to roll out MyMagic+ at Walt Disney World and saw profits effected partially by investment in the new band that holds a guest's theme park ticket, hotel room key, Fast Passes and credit card information.
Investments at the parks "continue to pay off" for Disney, said chief operating officer Jay Rasulo.
That includes the expansion of the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland and Disneyland's "Cars Land," but also the roll out of the MyMagic+ bands.
The parks were able to accommodate 3,000 more guests in the Magic Kingdom per day because of MyMagic+, Iger said during the investor call, stressing the significance of the time period -- its busiest of the year -- and location, its most popular theme park.
The addition of more guests in the park will clearly have an impact on the bottom line of the company in the future, Iger said, without giving any details.
The consumer products arm also enjoyed an 11% gain in revenue, earning nearly $1.9 billion. Profits were up 24% to $430 million. Disney said the higher sales were the result of the inclusion of Lucasfilm into its product portfolio and higher revenues from the performance of "Planes," Disney Junior and "Monsters University" merchandise. Sales of "Cars" and Spider-Man products came in lower than usual.
Disney Stores enjoyed sales gains for an eighth-consecutive quarter, the Mouse House said, the retail outlet scoring best when it highlighted popular properties, Rasulo said. Merchandise for "Frozen" were the single most in demand items at Disney Stores, followed by products for Disney Junior TV shows like "Doc McStuffins" and "Sofia the First."
And Disney Interactive, which recently released the hit "Disney Infinity" game, saw sales rise 38% to $403 million, while profits were up to $55 million, compared with $9 million a year ago.
Iger said sales of "Disney Infinity" proved the strength of the platform and how Disney characters and its franchises can work in the game. New installments of the game will further mine a broader set of its more popular characters, Iger said.
While layoffs were not mentioned during the earnings call, Disney Interactive is still expected to be hit by a round of cost cutting soon that could result in several hundred staffers losing their jobs.
Disney Interactive will also focus more on brokering licensing deals for games and produce titles for mobile platform, "where our consumers are," Iger said.

It's been a bad month for hybrids, and an even worse one for hybrid investors.
On November 2, Standard & Poor's (S&P) announced it was reviewing the equity classification of corporate hybrids issued by the likes of Origin, Tabcorp and AGL over the past year.
This would bring an end to the "100 per cent equity credit" currently given by S&P when reviewing the issuer's credit rating – a key reason for the hybrids being issued in the first place.
Then, on November 9, Bank of Queensland (BoQ) dispelled the popular notion that banks would redeem hybrids at the first opportunity (and against their economic interests), to protect their reputations.
In the real world, money talks.
BoQ has decided it doesn't make much sense to repay cheap debt when it doesn't have to, leaving investors in perpetual equity preference shares (PEPs), issued in 2007, high and dry. In effect, the bank is saying, "stuff the reputation risk, let's save some money".
Advisers and brokers have also been telling potential buyers that the corporate hybrids would be redeemed once the "100 per cent equity credit" expired at the early redemption date. Unlike reputation risk, this was a real economic incentive to redeem.
S&P have finally cottoned on to this fact, about a year too late.
No one should be surprised. The ratings agencies only worked out that slapping AAA-ratings on pools of securitised garbage was a bad idea once the GFC exposed it as such.
Hybrids are just another case of brokers and investment bankers working out the "game" on-the-spot, and the ratings agencies catching up once the game's almost up.
So what impact will S&P changing the rules (the amount of equity credit granted) have on corporate hybrids?
One argument doing the rounds is that a drop in equity credit will cause issuers to redeem early, reducing the risk to investors.
That's possible, but unlikely. Having spent millions getting these cheap equity deals away, issuers aren't going to lie down and cop a rule-change on the chin.
A lengthy submission and negotiation process is now under way.
Hybrid issuers, who, not incidentally, pay the ratings agencies bills, will be well-represented. But hybrid investors? There is no seat at the table for them.
The problem is that S&P's review means someone has to get screwed, and it's unlikely to be the people that pay S&P — the hybrid issuers. Step up please, hybrid investors!
A simple solution to S&P's concerns would be for issuers to undertake not to redeem the hybrids without first replacing them with equivalent capital. In return, S&P could probably grant them equity credit (even if at a lower rate) in perpetuity.
It's not in the interests of either the issuers, or S&P, for this cheap equity to be repaid quickly.
What does all this mean to hybrid investors?
Unless the hybrid boom continues, it's quite possible they'll end up holding a note for decades, up to 60 years in the case of Origin, with little prospect of early repayment.
Of course, the advisers and brokers who told investors "of course the issuer will redeem early, they always do" may feel a tinge of regret.
But by that time, they'll have moved on to selling something else.

Just Cause 2 Won't Support WinXP & DX9
Two still very popular platforms gets the boot in favor for DX10 performance gain.
The Steam page of Avalanche Studios' upcoming action adventure, Just Cause 2, offers the official system requirements to run the game. But eager eyes will notice that neither the minimum or the recommended requirements suggest users to have at least DX9 or Windows XP. Yup, rather surprisingly, the developers have decided against to support the two old but still very used platforms.
In a statement to Ve3D.net, Square Enix Community Manager Mike Oldman said that the decision to drop DX9 and WinXP support was "because the game has been written to take advantage of the extra performance offered by Direct X10 and sadly Windows XP does not support that application."Minimum System Requirements:

Phoenix FC News Release -- www.phoenixfc.com
Monday, November 19, 2012
PHOENIX – Phoenix FC, Arizona's premier professional soccer franchise celebrating its inaugural season in 2013, has signed two more players to their inaugural roster. Player contracts have been completed with midfielder/defender Reid Schmitt and forward Aaron King.
Schmitt is a local Phoenix product by way of Desert Vista High School and a short stint with Mesa Community College. The club's intent was to sign quality local players and Phoenix-born Schmitt, 25, fits the bill after having played a full season for FC Tucson of the PDL. Schmitt appeared in all 16 of FC Tucson's regular-season contests in 2012, scoring a goal and adding two assists, as he helped the side reach the playoffs in its first season in the league. Schmitt's contract is pending United States Soccer Federation (USSF) approval.
King, 28, is a seasoned professional known for his outstanding speed, size and skill. With experience at several professional U.S. soccer levels, King is expected to be an offensive force. In his last stop prior to signing with Phoenix, King scored nine goals for FC Tampa Bay in 2011 before an injury in the 2012 preseason while on trial with Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls ended his season prematurely. King's contract is also pending USSF approval.
"As promised, we will be signing local talent as evidenced with the Reid Schmitt signing. Aaron is a player with tremendous upside and is fully healthy after a February injury," said General Manager Rui Filipe Bento.
Per club policy, financial details of player contracts will not be disclosed.

I got two huge blocks of these in a gift set on Boxing Day because of the sale. I find this product is really creamy and moisturising to my body. The scent is a sweet scent ( although it smells nothing like snow fairy) it lathers up pretty well. Considering I have two blocks of this I gave a few away to my cousin because I already feel sick of the scent and I have a years supply

Barbie pink, star shaped, vanilla/ bubblegum scented soap sounded fun, but to me it smells a bit like moth-balls and kind of gives me a headache. After washing with it however, the scent does change and leaves a nice sweet candy smell on your skin for a while which is nice and it lathers well. I think it's a great deodorant soap but it can leave your skin feeling a little tight.
I have mixed feelings about this soap.

The soap itself is nice quality, not too drying on the skin and a small chunk lasts ages.
It smells like the color pink!

I LOVE this! It smells good and looks nice! You really have to like very, very sweet scents, otherwise this isn't for you... It leaves my skin a bit dry, but I always have that problem with Lush solid soap bars and it's a good excuse to stock up on some Dream Cream.

I really liked this product. I bought it up in atlanta when visiting my boyfriend and I loved the scent from the start... But that was MONTS ago and I bought I think an $11 segment of it. Just the last week or two its kinda turned a milky white, but I always kept it out of the shower when not in use, and the smell started to change... and not for the good. I don't know what happened with it but it was a good just under a ping pong ball size by then with a lot more use to go.
But other than that when I could use it I loved it. The scent lasted almost all day on my skin, made me feel smooth and clean. I loved it. I just wish I coulda gotten more use out of it. Maybe a small section next time is my best bet!!

Oh lush. I REALLY wanted to like this soap. But i don't... I only tried 2 soaps from lush, and this is one of them, together with honey i washed the kids.
This soap has a pretty pink color, i really like that.
The smell... Yeah the smell is sweet, but it also smells like PLASTIC. Ew.The smell doesn't stay on your skin that long though. I cant even smell it when i get out of the shower.
The formula is really creamy when you use it in the shower, but the soap doesn't feel moisturizing at all. It feels like it dries out my skin...
