World's Best Hotel Service
Courtesy of Inn at Little Washington
No. 19 Inn at Little Washington, Washington, VA
This 18-room inn describes itself not as a hotel, but as "the private home of someone who likes to entertain a lot." London stage and set designer Joyce Evans has added a theatrical flair to each of the rooms, individually decorated with sumptuous materials. The staff work at both the hotel and the property's AAA Five Diamond restaurant, so guests see familiar faces throughout their stay. It's enough to make this tiny town (70 miles from D.C.) a destination in its own right.

British paper, the Daily Mail, reports that Manchester City rejected a 40 million euro offer for Mario Balotelli after manager Roberto Mancini threatened to quit if the player was sold.
Despite very public feuds between the manager and his star striker this past season, the English club has committed to keeping the Italian aboard, especially after his impressive performance in the Euro 2012 tournament.
Mancini admitted that bids have continued to rise as the Italian striker had a great summer as he also complained at the lack of transfer activity from the club to help defend their Premier League title.
Balotelli is expected to end his long vacation with an appearance in the Community Shield against Chelsea on Sunday.
PSG has been the most active club in the summer market, already signing to of the most sough after players of the summer in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura.

RE: Custom cabinets really cheaper than stock? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: senator13 on 08.11.2011 at 07:59 am in Kitchens Forum Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think it is best to start off writing down all the qualities you want in a cabinet first. Here were mine:
A. Material and Grade: Quarter sawn white oak-solid, no veneer B . Face Frames: ďż˝" thick solid wood with 2" stiles and rails. Blind mortise and C. Cabinet Finish: Stained with a matte finish. Stain color to be selected by Keith and Sarah Merranko prior to staining. D. Wall Door Style: Full Overlay, flat two panel shaker Without a list of "must haves" it is hard to tell if you are really getting a "deal" or not. My three custom quotes all came in much lower than Mouser and lower than Shilo. However, two of the custom cabinet makers were fairly close in price. One was willing to do inset at no extra cost, but the other did all the Blum doors and drawers with soft close, the refrigerator box, and the shaker drawer front (instead of slab). That made the cost less for that cabinetmaker, and more to what I wanted. Although the inset was initally important to me, in the end, I don't miss it. I live in Maryland. I got custom quotes from three cabinet makers. The one that made them was Amish. He ended-up being about $2,000 cheaper, with the features mentioned to the next closest custom maker. The highest one, was still $4,000-$6,000 less than Mouser (hard to tell the exact amount since I didn't persue all the additional features once I met with the custom guys). NOTES: <none>

Re: Pandoras box system I'm 5 months into the box and it's farking awesome, I pulled a Social Butterfly (Coors Light Girl) right out of a liquor store 2 weeks ago............. Amazing stuff man. |
Re: Pandoras box system The seminar only was audio. |
Re: Pandoras box system review will be up in a few |
Re: Pandoras box system I'm only half way done with the ebook from Pandoras Box by Vin DiCarlo. But I really like it. For the longest time, quite recently, in fact, I became pretty fed up with trying to figure out the female mind. I pretty much gave up trying. Well this book breaks it down pretty simple and it makes a lot of sense. I see how it applies to my past relationships (hindsight), and I can also see how it will apply in how I approach girls in the future. I'm pretty excited to "master" the concepts in this book. I also don't think its overly complicated, so "mastering" it, won't prove that difficult. - But if I'm wrong about that, I'll let you know. |
Re: Pandoras box system still no video for the first week of the phd series and i can certainly say now that they will give you the 2nd video at the end of the second week and the time to try it will be very limited for the trial. Hope im wrong. so far so good. right now im just trying to learn the types and work with my game thats been lacking a lot. |
Re: Pandoras box system saw the video for the first week of the phd program. i think ive made more progress by analyzing the women in my life using this program. definitely worth 25$ per week and the basic program is gold. BTW: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION!!! |
Re: Pandoras box system Interesting.. I knew the basic program was money - didn't know the content of the PHD program. BTW - did you check out my product The Vibe? Would be really interested in your feedback on that (good or bad). So far everyone has loved it, but you are straight shooter so it will be cool to get your thoughts. BP |
Re: Pandoras box system I was just about to say that the system was really helpful and that it helped me to figure out one person in particular. =) |

I have a nice spot next to the pool where I am pulling up an evergreen bush. It gets full sun and is in an area that you would only see if you were down the hill by the pool - so you wouldnt see it in the winter. I want to plant a bush that does not get more than 4 or 5 ft high - and flowers all summer. I was thinking Crape Murtle - but it could be more than one kind as I have the space. The soil is clay like - so that may be a limiting factor. It is also in an area that gets full sun and is not on the sprinkler system - so may get dry. Any advice? |

My crape myrtles don't bloom until late August, normally; they're one of the very last woodies to flower in my garden. The closest anything I've got comes to blooming all summer is Fairy rose, which is under 4 feet high and is as tough as nails. I know there are other long-blooming roses, I just don't happen to have them. I have a row of 4' tall russian sage near my pool that blooms for well over a month, but I wouldn't recommend it because it attracts bees; I'm planning to move it away from the pool area (one of these years). Annabelle hydrangea is about the size you're talking about, and is also very tough, and having sterile flowers it doesn't attract bees. Not sure how it would do in clay, but mine's in fairly poor sandy soil and blooms well without extra water. ANYTHING you plant will need to be watered for the first few seasons, unless there's lots of rain. And almost nothing will grow well in unamended clay, so if this is a high-visibility area, you might want to add a load of compost to the native soil before you plant. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Tue, Oct 18, 11 at 9:52
I planted several knockout roses and they (or I) couldn't be happier. I have red, but they come in virtually all rose colors. Continuous bloom and no care at all. They are in sun all day and they don't get any supplemental water. I did water well for the first two months or so, because it was late June when they were planted. They just keep going and need no deadheading or any winter protection here. Another small shrub that keeps on blooming with virtually no care is potentilla. Yellow, pink, peach, orange, red or white that I know of. Small leaves mean no mess near the pool. |
Thanks for the advice - I want to avoid hydranga as I already have a bunch of it. As it is a big space do you think a mix of knock out roses and potentilla would be attractive? Both seem to do well in clay like soil. Any other recommendations? Low maintenance, flower all summer and thrive in clay like soil? Am I asking to much? |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Zone7ish (My Page) on Tue, Oct 18, 11 at 17:57
I think knockout or fairy roses would be lovely, as long as thorns are not an issue - not planted too close to where people need to move around the pool. The guy who cleans my pool gripes enough about non-thorny plants near the pool, and he'd quit if he could, but he's my husband, so he's stuck. If they're struggling because they're growing in clay, though, that could be a problem. Bill, how's the soil where your knockouts are planted? Potentilla does in fact bloom for a long period of time, and does well in poor soil. Personally, I have to say I dislike the way it looks; I removed some I'd planted, after a few years. That's just a completely subjective opinion, but be sure you know what it looks like 'in person' before you make your decision. |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 10:36
DTD, the soil here is average for the area. Some clay but fairly good drainage. Unless the soil in JMC's area is heavy clay, the roses should to fine. As for potentilla, some varieties can look a little ratty, but careful selection of some of the newer hybrids should give good results. One reason I suggested potentilla is because the leaves are very small so they should virtually disappear whenever they fall. Another idea might be the hardy hibiscus. They give a good 'wow' factor, and bloom for a long time. May be a height issue but again depends on the exact variety. The tops die off every winter, but a quick snip to the dead stalks is all it takes to keep things neat. |
I second, or it it third?, the suggestion of knockout roses as they are pretty much self sufficient and really only require care during the initial planting time. Mostly these are rose, pink, magenta, though there is a pale yellow I have not tried, and bloom well into late fall. However, my soil is not clay so I can't vouch for their survival in your area. From your description of the spot, it seems these plants will be far enough uphill from the pool so that bees are not a problem? Russian sage is magnificent with knockout roses because it spreads and weaves its way into other plants, has a airy quality, and is also carefree in most soils, especially if not wet. Again, as long as these are away from the pool area, this combo would be spectacular. The benefit to both of these plants is that they respond to tough love. You can cut them down, or back, and they'll return again and again. Molie |
Thanks for the advice - very helpful. The area to be planted is about 5 ft from the pool - however it is at the bottom of the stairs that provide access to the pool. So I dont want bees to take over and make this area inaccessible. Will knock out roses and russian sage turn this area into a bee party? |
- Posted by bill_ri_z6b (My Page) on Thu, Oct 20, 11 at 5:38
Russian sage will attract bees, but the roses are not any more bee magnets than most other things that you might use. They also have white knockout roses now in addition to single and double reds and pinks and there are yellow ones also. |
- Posted by whitegarden Z5 MA (My Page) on Thu, Oct 20, 11 at 8:46
I would also consider ornamental grasses. They are probably not what you were thinking of as far as long-blooming, but they have constant visual interest provided by their form, the interest of their foliage and their movement in a breeze. |

Things to do in London this weekend: January 30-1
Best for: New openings in London
Waterloo: Life and Times – The Fan Museum
The vibe:
A decorative celebration of one of Britain's biggest battle victories
Need to know:
This year marks the bicentenary of the Duke of Wellington's win over Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo.
While it was all blood and glory on the battlefield, the social scene of the day was more about glittering balls, assemblies and being seen in the right fashion with an elegant fan.
This exhibition at the recently refurbished Fan Museum marries both together. Showcasing "propaganda" fans (in England featuring Nelson, and Wellington) and those shipped abroad like the one above, commemorating King Ferdinand's crowning in Spain, this is a different perspective on a dramatic moment in European history.
Website and Twitter
When: Now until May, 10 2015
Opening times: Tues-Sat: 11am to 5pm, Sun: 12pm to 5pm
Getting there: 12 Crooms Hill, Greenwich, London SE10 8ER
Nearest Tube: Cutty Sark DLR or Greenwich DLR & mainline station
Price: £4
Best for: Drinking in London
The Winter Ale Festival at The Gun
The vibe:
A range of British "blues-beating" brews
Need to know:
This free real ale festival at The Gun pub aims to help end the traditionally dour January with a bang.
Local London brewers will be represented, and the festival will also see debut drinks from Dorset brewery Gyle59. There'll also be a cheese and ale "Homage to Fromage" if you're feeling adventurous.
The Grade II Listed building is worth a visit anyway; it was Lord Nelson's local for a while. He used to enjoy trysts with his mistress, Lady Emma Hamilton, in an upstairs room.
Website and Twitter
When: Thursday, January 20 to Saturday, February 1
Opening times: 11am to midnight
Getting there: The Gun, 27 Coldharbour, Docklands, Greater London E14 9NS
Nearest Tube: South Quay or Canary Wharf DLR station
Price: Free entry and beers in the festival start from £3.40 a pint
Best for: Lates in London
Crowdfunding: Produced by the People
The vibe:
Get the lowdown on the latest start-up projects
Need to know:
The first "Late" of 2015 sees technology, games and crowd funding take centre stage in a serious of talks, games experiences and demonstrations.
It's free to go along and entry is on a first-come, first served basis – so make sure you head down early to bag a spot.
Take part in an attempt to survive a zombie apocalypse or try and put together a 3D puzzle. Equally sit back and find out how a felt cornershop in East London, funded by 361 donations via Kickstarter, sparked a media frenzy.
Website and Twitter – #FridayLate
When: Friday, January 30
Opening times: 6.30pm to 10pm – it gets busy, so there may be a one in / one out policy later on
Getting there: Victoria and Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL
Nearest Tube: South Kensington
Price: Free
Best for: Alternative in London
The Annual Clowns' Service
The vibe:
A madcap memorial
Need to know:
This affectionate church tribute to trailblazing clown Joseph Grimaldi (d1837) has become a yearly fixture since it was first held in 1946.
Always held on the first Sunday in February, clowns don their costumes to pay their respects to the man who founded modern clowning as we know it.
Following the bespoke service, which has a few added extras, the clowns put on a performance for the children (and big kids). It's become so popular you'll have to get their early to grab a pew.
This event is usually held at the Holy Trinity Church, Dalston (known as the Clowns' Church), but has moved this year to its sister All Saints Church in Haggerston.
Website and Facebook
When: Sunday, February 1
Start time: 3pm
Getting there: All Saints Church Haggerston, Livermere Road, Haggerston, E8 4EZ
Nearest Tube: Haggerston mainline station
Best for: Blooms in London
Snowdrop Days
The vibe:
Discover what's springing up behind the walls of this city centre garden
Need to know:
Winter flora and fauna (like crocuses) and spring flower favourites, snowdrops, are the topic of these special open days hosted by garden experts. They will be giving talks, leading walks and also holding workshops for you to get more involved.
The flowers will be displayed at eye level, so even if you are not remotely green-fingered, you can appreciate the subtleties and differences of the plants.
Unusually this garden focuses on plants with medicinal properties having been founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries.

Almond and Lemon-Crusted Fish with Spinach
From EatingWell.com
Coating fish with nuts and baking it is an easy, foolproof way to cook it elegantly. And it is especially nice with a mild white fish like cod or halibut. The spinach turns a little yellowy because it's cooked with the acidic lemon juice, but what you lose in green color is more than made up for in great flavor.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Harley!
Facts about Harley
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Or Chocolate (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Harley's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
If you're looking for the "Amazing Adventurous Affectionate Affable Acrobat" then look no further...Harley's here!!!
I'm ready for action or cuddles...whichever one you prefer. I'm super-friendly with other animals, have tons of energy for play and love to snuggle with you at quiet time. I'm famous around here for loving to hang out in the dryer and even have a sign in my honour to remind everyone that Harley and the Maytag do not mix!
I don't mind tellin' ya I'm extremely cute and have a little white tuft at the end of my tail which they humans seem to love. So, never mind those big, bad motorcycles. I'm the Harley you really want!!
Harley has had blood work done to rule out FIV/FeLeuk, is fully vaccinated and de-wormed in addition to being neutered.
Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 416-491-CATS (2287) for more info.
If you are unable to adopt this precious feline but would still like to sponsor him, kindly forward a much-needed donation (which is fully tax deductible as PAWS is a registered charity) to PAWS - 2300 Lawrence Avenue East, Box 73039, Toronto, ON Canada M1P 2R2 - please note that we are managed exclusively by volunteers and each and every dollar received is used to help the animals.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Harley, a Toronto Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Toronto, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Toronto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toronto 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 Toronto 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toronto paves the way for another one to be saved.

As surely as a busy holiday season brings an increase in Web sales, it also brings more returned merchandise. Unfortunately, returned merchandise is a major by-product of increased Internet growth, especially as consumers become much more comfortable purchasing items over the Net.
"There will be more consumers returning goods purchased over the Internet during this Christmas season than ever before," explains Julie Breen, an e-commerce research analyst at The Boston Consulting Group. "That's simply because there are more goods than ever before being purchased over the Internet."
Web shoppers return merchandise for a variety of reasons. Twenty-five percent of customers who have returned items purchased online say the product wasn't what they expected, according to e-BuyersGuide.com's 1999 "Return to Sender" Shoppers' Expressions survey. Seventeen percent of those who returned items purchased online said the items didn't fit correctly, and another 17 percent said the items were damaged. Sixteen percent of respondents said the wrong items were delivered, 15 percent said they simply didn't want the items, and 10 percent said items were of poor quality.
Not being able to see or touch a product in real life has often been cited as one of the Web's main short-comings. However, that kind of problem may become less prominent in time, says Irwin Barkan, founder of e-BuyersGuide.com, an independent data services organization in Burlington, Massachusetts. "There's incredible technology at work in making touch, feel, color, look, size and fit issues more user-friendly," he says. "Some of the issues regarding these changes are [related to] the current bandwidth and speed available on consumers' computers. It may be a few years before the lines cross between this technology and consumers at home."
The good news: While returns are a problem for e-tailers, they're not a headache for customers. In the e-BuyersGuide.com survey, 78 percent of the consumers who returned items purchased online during 1999's holiday season described their expe-rience with an e-tailer as "satisfactory" or "very satisfactory." The bad news: Of the 6 percent of shoppers who had "unsatisfactory" experiences, 62 percent said they wouldn't return to the e-tail sites responsible as a result. The biggest consumer complaint regarding online returns? Having to pay return postage.
Overall, 86 percent of the survey's respondents said they considered e-tailers' returns policies of significant importance. What features do users like in a returns policy? Receiving a refund as soon as the item is returned; being able to return the item to the e-tailer's brick-and-mortar store; receiving postal pickup at their homes; low or no restocking fees; and being able to exchange the item for something more suitable.

Deets On Evan Rachel Wood's Wedding Dress & Tuesday Night Nuptials
The actress was apparently mere days from tying the knot with her now hubby, Jamie Bell! The 26-year-old Billy Elliot star and Marilyn Manson's former fiancée said "I do" in a small ceremony with close friends and family on Tuesday night. Like most high-profile weddings, details are few and far between, but we do know who was responsible for the dress.
While no photos have be released from the big night (we promise to keep you posted!), we do know that Wood chose a one-of-a-kind Carolina Herrera creation made of Chantilly lace. The mermaid-style gown featured capped-sleeves and a striped ribbon waist detail. And, based on past wedding attire designed by Herrera (including Bella's pick in Twilight), we already know that many "ohhs" and "ahhs" will be heard around the office once those images finally surface.

Gorgeous room. Love the light fixtures. I am confused. Is the PD painted all on the wall in first picture, then, the darker color where the wall bends next to dark cabinet? If so, I can't tell the difference. I have had a chip of the PD for a while for my boss at work. I see a rose undertone in it, is that something you are looking for here? Red |
There's a very talented someone (grlw either aspirin or prls--blanking!) who painted her bedroom Pismo Dunes and declared it her favorite wall color ever. Wish I'd saved the pic. It was very convincing :) I wouldn't hesitate, in that space, with the white cabinets, cream leather chairs etc., to use it. Will be *gorgeous*. (btw, love the clock--is it original or reproduction?) |
I just googled Pismo Dunes, and it is a lovely color up on the wall... Red |
I would not use it if your climate is dull and dreary in winter. I'm in FL so that doesn't happen! |
- Posted by beekeeperswife (My Page) on Thu, Nov 12, 09 at 13:42
Thanks for the feedback. Red, the pismo dunes right now is only on the left side of the clock wall. That golden color is outgoing. In real life it doesn't seem to have any red undertones. flyleft-I love that clock too--it's a repro, got it at TJ Maxx--it was so dusty from being passed over and over that it almost looked vintage! beachlily--lucky you! Florida. Well, I live in Southeastern PA, it gets cold, but it is sunny, you know, "It's always sunny in Philadelphia". When I lived in Ohio, we had the lake effect, I think the average number of sunny days between November and April is 4. Had to move. |
You have a beautiful kitchen and the pismo dunes is gorgeous. I am in love with the fixture over the table... |

I bought this for my husband,an engineer who has gotten "a little" older and is therefore subject to tripping over extension cords.....and not happy using ungainly tools/items.....
I can't get this out of his hands.....he thinks this is the BEST product he has ever used....and he is definitely pleased with it. He keeps telling me "WHY - from an engineering standpoint - that this is an extremely well made and thought out product".

Comments about 40V G-MAX Cordless Lithium-Ion Variable-Speed Handheld Blower with 4 Ah Battery Pack:
This meets all my needs and offers a ton more convenience than the gas unit I was replacing. I have a small yard that I have serviced by professionals on a weekly basis so my needs are limited. I only need a blower to clear off leaves during that accumulate during the week and clean up the garage after projects. I went with the 40V because I didn't want to lose capacity after moving from my old gas blower I had and this Greenworks has tons of power! I don't even charge this between uses because it has such incredible battery life. Best of all is the ease use. I never need to deal with gasoline (storing it, filling it, leaking…), spark plugs, exhaust streaming in the open windows, the excessive noise (it's about half as loud), or the heat teaming from the unit on summer days. NO MORE!! So please to have the ease of sliding in a battery and flipping a switch. I bought an extra battery but I don't need it based on my uses.

Comments about 40V G-MAX Cordless Lithium-Ion Variable-Speed Handheld Blower with 4 Ah Battery Pack:
Great blower, we've used it a lot this fall and on low speed(you hardly ever have to use the higher speeds) the blower has run for at least 30 minutes and even longer. I've never really timed it but it's cleaned more than 2 charges on our 24 v blower.

Comments about 40V G-MAX Cordless Lithium-Ion Variable-Speed Handheld Blower with 4 Ah Battery Pack:
After reading all the reviews and researching the different brands, I settled on Greenworks. For a battery powered blower, hands down you won't be disappointed. I wanted a cordless blower for typical yard maintenance, blowing off grass clippings/dirt from hard surfaces, cleaning up after edging, the occasional collection of yard leaves/debris. I had this blower for over a month and so far it handles all of these jobs with ease. No more tangled electric cords! The battery recharge time is quick, but I never have to run the blower until the battery fully depletes. Typical use for me is 30 minutes (at full power). Of course if you're like me, you'll always want more power no matter what you buy, but this blower has enough power for my use. In my opinion, if you want this for blower for large leaf collection jobs (1/3 acre or more), you might want to consider some more power. Greenworks LI-ION battery technology is cutting edge! Worth the few extra dollars for the enhanced battery performance.

The Object-Oriented Thought Process …
July 19th, 2010
2 comments
Recently I came across a book which was a recommendation from a senior colleague at work. The Object-Oriented Thought Process by Matt Weisfeld. Although the first three chapters can seem a bit basic at first glance, they help to remind ourselves and reset in our minds what a true OO approach to a given problem should be.
Here is the Conclusion for (summary) Chapter 1 – Introduction to OO Concepts:

Like most men, Tobi Robert Ulemek remembers his first love. In his case, the object of his desire was a Toro lawnmower, and he had to fight his four much-older brothers for its use.
Fast-forward more than 30 years, and he still enjoys the sight of a well-mown lawn. However, the president of TRU Landscape Services, Santa Ana, Calif., admits things have gotten more difficult since the days he pulled that Toro around the neighborhood.
His biggest complaint: unlicensed and uninsured vendors who are willing to slash prices to unreasonable and unsustainable levels. Their activities make it harder for established companies to charge rates in line with the quality of the services that they provide.
Founder & President: Tobi Robert Ulemek
Founded: "More than 20 years ago."
Headquarters: Santa Ana, Calif.
Markets: Orange County, Calif.
Services: Landscape construction, hardscapes, pavers, outdoor living areas, Synthetic Turf Orange County, low-voltage lighting, ponds & waterfals, commercial maintenance, irrigation systems, drain systems, putting greens, tree services and ET-satellite timers
Employees 8
Website: http://www.trulandscape.com
Although the current iteration of TRU Landscape Services is "more than 20 years old," says its founder, the business - under the same name, his initials - actually goes back 31 years, when as a 12-year-old, he battled his brothers to use that new mower.
"I finally asked my father if I could use it at the neighbor's house," Tobi explains. (He likes to be referred by Tobi rather than his last name.) "He said I could, so one of the neighbors gave me $5 for mowing his lawn. It wasn't too long before I took some skateboard wheels and put them on a piece of plywood, put my machines on that little trailer and towed it around the neighborhood."
Still, landscaping wasn't his career choice out of high school. Instead, he enrolled in junior college with the plan of going into firefighting. However, he was advised that because of back surgery he'd had at 16, it was unlikely he'd ever be hired as a firefighter.
Fortunately, he hadn't given up on landscaping. A neighbor who owned a landscape company hired him to help do installations on weekends, and it wasn't too long before he took the knowledge he had gained, hired a couple helpers and began doing jobs himself.
"My father didn't know I dropped out of school to do one large job. But when he saw the paycheck - it was more than he made that week - he said, 'Great. Keep on doing what you're doing,'" Tobi says. "So I kept adding to my business."
First out of the box was the purchase of a maintenance company with enough contracts to keep TRU Landscape busy six days a week. And, later, the neighbor who had taught Tobi to do installs sold his company to the young entrepreneur, as well.
"By that time, I had a second maintenance route started," he says. "So we had two maintenance trucks going out, and with all the extras we had a third truck doing repairs and installs."
Today, the company is still split much the same way, with two maintenance crews and two install trucks, and Tobi says installation has really become TRU Landscape's primary business, although not necessarily because he's given up on the idea of offering people a neat yard.
"We're always trying to improve our maintenance and line up more commercial accounts," he says. "The residential accounts in Orange County have basically been eaten up by low-ball competitors who are willing to do these jobs for $50 or $60 a month. We can't complete in that market."
Instead, Tobi focuses on residential installations and some smaller commercial ones, along with maintenance. And, while he's no longer pushing the lawnmower, he's still actively involved in every phase of the operation.
"Generally, I check on the crews in the mornings to make sure they're set up and they have what they need," he says. "Then, in the afternoons, I go out and do estimates. In the late afternoons I come back and type up the estimates for the customers. I still do all the estimating and sales."
Just as Tobi covers all the management bases himself, he says the style of TRU Landscape is to offer one-stop service to its customers.
"They usually hire us because we can do all aspects of what they're looking for and they don't have to hire separate contractors," he says. "We can put in the patio cover, and install the grass and the plants at the same time. And, we've gotten involved in just about all aspects of outdoor living, from fire pits to barbecues to seating walls."
About the only things the company won't handle itself are jobs requiring special equipment, such as concrete cuts, when he turns to trusted subcontractors.
"We tell them they aren't going to be talking to a foreman or a salesman; you're going to be talking to the owner," he says.
One big niche for TRU Landscape is water management, and Tobi would like to think Californians are becoming more knowledgeable about their precious water.
"We try to educate our customers on not running the sprinklers too long or using parts from Home Depot that just spray the street," he says. "We try to get them on satellite timers, and when we do weekly maintenance we check those to help them save water."
The installation work often leads to maintenance jobs for the firm, although often without the regularity he would like.
"Some of our clients will call us for a quarterly cleanup or to come in after we'd done the installation and give them a six-month evaluation on how their current guy is taking care of it," he says. "They'll hire the cheapest guy they can find, and then they're willing to pay me to come in and tell them what's wrong with what he's doing and give them a fix."
The need to beef up his sales in both areas is something that's weighing on Tobi. TRU Landscape experienced record sales when it went online four years ago, and he recently hired a full time person to manage its web presence.
Still, one of his goals is to get at least one salesperson on board, mainly to focus on signing more commercial maintenance clients. However, that offers potentially new challenges.
Currently, the company operates out of an office built onto Tobi's home (the crews work out of a yard in Orange, Calif.) and he shares the space with his computer person and an office manager.
"The next person who comes to work here, we're going to have to move to an outside space," he says. "That can be a lot of money and we're trying to keep overhead low so we're not losing jobs."
Regardless of what happens next with TRU Landscape, Tobi says he's proud that the company provides its customers with the highest quality products and services possible.
"I know which sprinklers work and which lighting company to use," he says. "After so many years, I have my preferred vendors to provide me with quality materials. And, if for some reason, a product fails, it gets fixed or repaired right away. That's quality."
Clients also greatly appreciate the long history of his business under the same name and phone number.
"If someone says, 'I'm worried that in six months this tree isn't going to be alive,' we tell them to pick up the phone and call us," Tobi concludes. "We're still going to be here for them."

AT&T Has Begun Issuing RIAA Takedown Notices
Soulskill posted more than 5 years ago | from the reach-out-and-touch-someone dept.
383suraj.sun writes with this excerpt from CNet: "AT&T, one of the nation's largest Internet service providers, confirmed on Tuesday the company is working with the recording industry to combat illegal file sharing. At a digital music conference in Nashville, Jim Cicconi, a senior executive for AT&T told the audience that the ISP has begun issuing takedown notices to people accused of pirating music by the Recording Industry Association of America, according to one music industry insider who was present. In December, the RIAA, the lobbying group of the four largest recording companies, announced the group would no longer pursue an antipiracy strategy that focused on suing individuals, but rather would seek the help of broadband providers to stem the flow of pirated content. The RIAA said an undisclosed number of ISPs had agreed to cooperate but declined to name them. This is important because the RIAA has said that repeat offenders faced the possibility of losing service — at least temporarily — as part of the music industry's 'graduated response' plan."

Sir Noel Robert Malcolm FBA FRSL (born 26 December 1956) is an English historian and journalist.
Malcolm was educated at Eton College as a King's Scholar and read history at Peterhouse, Cambridge between 1974 and 1978. He received his PhD degree in History from Trinity College, Cambridge, and was a Fellow and College Lecturer of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge from 1981 to 1988.[1][2]
He was a political columnist (1987–1991) then the foreign editor (1991–1992) of The Spectator, and a political columnist for the Daily Telegraph (1992–1995). He was jointly awarded the T. E. Utley Prize for Political Journalism in 1991.[2] In 1995 he gave up journalism to become a full–time writer.[3] Malcolm was a visiting Fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford in 1995–1996,[2] and has been a Senior Research Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford since 2002.[4] He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL) in 1997, and a Fellow of the British Academy in 2001. He is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers.[2] He is a Member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo, and an Honorary Fellow of both Peterhouse, Cambridge (since 2010) and Trinity College, Cambridge (since 2011).[4] He serves on the advisory board of the conservative magazine Standpoint.[5]
He is currently the chairman of the Bosnian Institute, London,[6] and is the president of the Anglo-Albanian Association.[7]
Malcolm was knighted in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to scholarship, journalism, and European history.[8]
Malcolm is the author of De Dominis, 1560–1624: Venetian, Anglican, ecumenist, and relapsed heretic (1984), George Enescu: His Life and Music (1990), Bosnia: A Short History (1994), Origins of English Nonsense (1997), Kosovo: A Short History (1998), Books on Bosnia: A Critical Bibliography (1999), Aspects of Hobbes (2002), and (with Jacqueline Stedall) John Pell (1611–1685) and His Correspondence with Sir Charles Cavendish: The Mental World of an Early Modern Mathematician (2005). He has edited The Correspondence of Thomas Hobbes (1994) and Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan (Oxford University Press, 2012), for which he was awarded a British Academy Medal.[2]
Malcolm has written many articles for newspapers, magazines and journals. Other than his work for The Spectator, the Daily Telegraph and Standpoint he has had articles published in The Guardian,[9] The Sunday Telegraph,[10] the New York Times,[11] Washington Times,[12] Time[13] and the Daily Mail[14] among other publications. He has also contributed book reviews mainly to The Sunday Telegraph.[15] He has contributed to a number of scholarly journals including Foreign Affairs[16] and the New York Review of Books.[17]
Critical reviews and debates[edit]
Malcolm's book Kosovo: A Short History (1998) has seen robust debate among historians following its release. For example, the merits of the book were the subject of an extended debate in Foreign Affairs. The debate began with the review of the book by the former Fellow of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University, Aleksa Djilas. Djilas considered that Malcolm's book was "marred by his sympathies for its ethnic Albanian separatists, anti-Serbian bias, and illusions about the Balkans",[18] and Malcolm responded by asserting that Djilas had not produced any evidence to counter that produced in the book, and had instead resorted to belittling both Malcolm and his work, including the use of personal slurs and patronising language.[16] The debate continued with Professor Stevan K. Pavlowitch of the University of Southampton asserting that the book lacked precision, Melanie McDonagh of the Bosnian Institute observing that Djilas' review took a "nationalistic approach", and Norman Cigar of Marine Corps University stating that Djilas was trying to create myths to legitimise Serbian actions in Kosovo.[19][20]
In 1999, the Serbian-American poet Charles Simić wrote a letter to the London Review of Books criticizing Malcolm's failure to protest against vandalism and destruction of Serb cultural sites in Kosovo, despite Malcolm having made a prior statement that they should be cared for (a statement which Simić also noted in his letter).[21][22] Later the same year, Thomas Emmert of the history faculty of Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota reviewed the book in Journal of Southern Europe and the Balkans Online and while praising aspects of the book also asserted that it was "shaped by the author's overriding determination to challenge Serbian myths", that Malcolm was "partisan", and also complained that the book made a "transparent attempt to prove that the main Serbian myths are false".[23] Malcolm responded in the same journal in early 2000, asserting that the book challenged both Albanian and Serbian myths about Kosovo, but that there were more Serbian myths about Kosovo than Albanian ones and this explained the greater coverage of Serbian myths in the book. He also observed that Emmert's perspective and work was largely within the framework of Serbian historiography, and that Emmert's own perspective was the reason for Emmert's assertion that Malcolm was "partisan".[24]
Other reviews of Kosovo: A Short History were varied. For example, in English Historical Review, Zbyněk Zeman observed that Malcolm "tries not to take sides",[25] but in American Historical Review, Nicholas J. Miller stated that the book was "conceptually flawed" due to Malcolm's insistence on treating Kosovo as "a place on its own; [rather than] a scrap of irredenta that Serbs and Albanians fight over".[26]

Best of The Nest
I will be matron of honor at my sister-in-law's wedding (my husband's sister). I want to toast her and her groom, but I don't share a long history with them, and I don't know what's appropriate. Any ideas?
Obviously you are somewhat close to your sister-in-law if she asked you to be her honor attendant, so focus on the bond you've formed with her since you married her brother. Touch on how she made you feel welcome in her family and how you're looking forward to getting to know her groom better as another member of your extended family. If she met him while you knew her and you remember her talking about him when they first dated, you might share a fun anecdote about how excited she was about him, or talk about the moment she told you they were getting engaged. Don't stress out: All you really need to do is wish the newlyweds well and raise a glass!

He was installed as bishop in 2006 — a position of oversight for a diocese comprised of 27,000 communicants in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, and the cities of Los Altos and part of Palo Alto. Prior to his election as Bishop of California, Andrus served as Bishop Suffragan in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.
Our Priest-in-Charge
The Rev. Justin R. Cannon received his Bachelor of Arts from Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, and his Master of Divinity from Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley. He was ordained as a deacon by the Right Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop of California, on June 4, 2011 and served as deacon at St. Clement's Episcopal Church, Berkeley. On December 3, 2011, he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Andrus on December 3, 2011 and accepted a call to serve as Priest-in-Charge at Saint Giles in June 2012.
Fr. Justin is the founder of Holy Hikes, an eco-ministry serving the Diocese of California that gathers monthly to celebrate the Holy Eucharist outdoors in the context of a nature hike, as well as the founder of Inclusive Orthodoxy.

The torch business was a bit silly. Even the players seemed skeptical. Plekanec, who has been in Montreal a long while and has had to perform a great many ceremonial duties, frowned apologetically, as if he was already rehearsing his post-game mea culpas. Budaj chewed gum with the bland just-another-day-at-the-office expression which is so becoming on a backup goalie. Armstrong looked petrified; Bouillon looked teary; Pacioretty tried to stifle a smirk, with only moderate success. Erik Cole seemed to briefly consider swinging the torch round the bowl and screaming ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!? Perhaps the only player who got it exactly right was Galchenyuk, who held that fuckin' thing high like the Statue of Liberty, his features set in a mask of fierce determination, with the total lack of irony common to overachieving teenagers and Habs fans in the throes of history.
It's said that Montreal does ceremony well, but that depends on what you like in your ceremonies. Certainly no one in the NHL does it quite like the Habs. Other teams pump themselves up for the season with highlight reels and Nickelback. The Canadiens do it with old men, black and white photos, and live reenactments of poetry from the Great War. Such sepia sincerity would look ridiculous on any other franchise. Truth be told, sometimes it looks a little ridiculous on us.

7 Tips to Design User-Friendly Web Forms
Designing an effective web form can be very challenging , especially since most designers have made it apparent that completing forms is an activity hated by almost anyone using a website. However, some techniques and elements can be used to transform a failed web form into an efficient conversion opportunity, making it more user-friendly, easier to complete and more intuitive.
In today's blog post, we will present some useful guidelines for Web form design.
- Simple vertical layout with labels above the input fields. Online forms with a simple vertical layout are always easier to fill in than multi-column layouts, as visitors are used to completing a majority of forms, electronic or on paper, from top to bottom.
- Emphasized field labels. If you want your visitors to read them easily, make field labels Bold.
- Required & asterisks. Add the text required or use asterisks after each label of a required field.
- Items grouped by topic. To make the form as intuitive as possible, group similar types of information you need to collect by its topic such as; personal information, contact information, and billing information (if necessary).
- Visual and clear separation is extremely important when collecting multiple types or large volumes of information.
- Prefilled answers. Provide a multiple selection list box or drop-down menu for the user to select the answer when he/she will have to enter a predictable word, such as city or country.
- Use symbols, colors, icons, special typography or font sizes to achieve attractive design solutions.
At CodeMyIMAGE, we know that optimized web forms result in maximized form completion rates, which translate into increased revenues for your service. To make it happen, we have learned to provide for our visitors an effective user experience when completing a web form.

Printers are used for various reasons on all different types of surfaces. From t-shirts to regular office paper, inks are designed to fulfill different requirements for different uses. The two main types are pigment inks and dye-based inks and the ink you choose depends upon the job you're attempting to complete.
Pigment ink consists of very fine powders that are suspended within a liquid. As such pigment ink is not absorbed by paper but instead sits on top of it. Because of this fact, pigment ink is ideal for water resistance and will dry much faster than dye-based inks. Pigment ink is also much less likely to run if it gets wet making it the more stable ink of the pair.
Dye-based ink, which is absorbed into the paper, tends to dry much slower and if wetted will result in smears and bleeds. However, because of its absorbency rate, dye-based inks are better in terms of color and contrast. Dye-based ink is also the more cost-effective of the two and therefore the most common.
It used to be that pigmented ink far outweighed its dye-based brother in terms of quality but as of late the shortcomings of both ink types has generally been dealt with. Resultantly, there isn't a huge difference between the two inks in terms of quality. However, you should be careful to use the appropriate ink for the appropriate printer. If the printer specifies that dye-based ink be used then use it and avoid switching between ink types midstream.
Because of advances in the printer and ink industries, these two different ink types are only subtly different. In the past one clearly performed better than the other but now the chasm between the two is small. Pigment inks tend to be favored by more professional users, while the more cost-effective dye-based ink is marketed to the casual printer. Either way, you'll get a great ink that will perform exactly the way you expect it to; professionally.
Independent Ink is a national company offering industrial ink jet printers as well as compatible Videojet inks and Citronix ink.

Holistic NPL therapy
Holistic therapy NPL
Get acquainted with the holistic NPL healing. NPL is a holistic approach since the entire person is treated. NPL can cure someone completely, in every way possible: physically, psychologically, but also regarding life events and circumstances and talents. NPL can heal someone, make him 'whole' again. This is also the meaning of 'holistic', for it is derived from the word 'whole'.
Energetic distance therapy
NPL is not only a holistic therapy, it's an energetic, psychic distance therapy developed by Linda Evans. She has exceptional psychic abilities that allow her to perceive the subconscious mind around man and animal (also from a distance) and moreover, she is able to work on this subconscious mind. She has been able to establish that this subconscious mind determines our entire life. It consists of energies (the positive part) and patterns (the negative part). The energies are responsible for everything that is going well in our lives regarding health, life circumstances, talents, personality characteristics, abilities and talents. The holistic NPL healing can release these energies in everyone, as a result of which man becomes 'whole' once again. This happens by breaking down patterns in the subconscious mind. Everything that is negative in life originates from the subconscious mind. Linda Evans can identify and destroy the subconscious patterns that are responsible for a certain problem. When the patterns that caused a problem are no longer present in the subconscious mind, someone will be completely and permanently released from this problem.
You can read the book on NPL in which the view behind NPL is explained for free.
A new view on man
NPL is based on a new view on man. It is the view of NPL that man and animal are captured in an evil programme (the patterns) that keep them prisoner in an eternal cycle of reincarnation and in eternal suffering. However, NPL can break down this programme entirely, bringing back man and animal once again to their original divine state. However, this is something that can't be realized just like that, in a few years' time.
NPL is a holistic therapy that can make man 'whole' in any way possible, but this is a lifetime's work.
In order to show that her therapy actually works, and that her theory about man and the subconscious mind are not based on thin air, Linda Evans is presenting example treatments on her website that show what can be achieved thanks to this therapy. People who have been dealing for years with psychological or health problems, problems related to talents, life circumstances and events in life, testify that the holistic NPL healing resolved these problems, which no single other technique succeeded in.
