Al-Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
I say: based on that, kind treatment of neighbours is enjoined and is recommended, whether they are Muslim or not. And this is the right thing to do. Kind treatment may be in the sense of helping or it may be in the (more)direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed">Concerning that Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
Praise be to Allaah.
Is it true that the fasting of Ramadaan is suspended between heaven and earth and is only taken up by zakaat al-fitr?.
A hadeeth concerning this was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) but it is da'eef (weak).
In al-Jaami' al-Sagheer, al-Suyooti attributed it to Ibn Shaheen in his Targheeb: It was narrated from al-Diya' from Jareer ibn ¬ĎAbd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ¬ďThe month of Ramadaan is suspended between heaven and earth and is not taken up to Allaah except by zakaat al-fitr.¬Ē
It was classed as da'eef by al-Suyooti. Al-Mannaawi explained the reason for that in Fayd al-Qadeer, where he said: It was narrated by Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Waahiyaat and he said: it is not saheeh; its isnaad includes Muhammad ibn ¬ĎUbayd al-Basri who is majhool (unknown).
It was also classed as da'eef by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Da'eefah (43). He said: Even if the hadeeth were saheeh, the apparent meaning is that acceptance of the Ramadaan fast is dependent upon payment of sadaqat al-fitr, and if a person does not pay it, his fast will not be accepted, but I do not know of any scholar who says that ⦠and the hadeeth is not saheeh. End quote.
As the hadeeth is not saheeh, no one can say that the fast of Ramadaan is only accepted with zakaat al-fitr, because no one can know that except the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
It is proven in Sunan Abi Dawood that Ibn ¬ĎAbbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined zakaat al-fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle speech and obscene talk, and to feed the poor.¬Ē Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood.
This hadeeth explains the wisdom behind zakaat al-fitr, which is to make up for any shortfall that occurred during fasting. It does not say that fasting will not be accepted without zakaat al-fitr.
And Allaah knows best.

My building orients north/south, meaning only one gable end faces south. Plans call for 2x6 walls sheathed with 1/2 OSB followed by Tyvek wrap. It will be bricked. I hope to use some closed cell foam inside but fiberglass batts will do the bulk of the insulating.
I read alot of talk on this forum about "thermal bridging" and if I gather correctly the solution is often "foam board". I brought this up to my builder and he seemed dismissive. I am on a budget, pretty much spent my wad on all the brick and the insistence on 2x6 walls on 16" centers with hurricane straps and simpson ties... on every 2x6. I live near the Gulf of Mexico and it is hot and sunny. Should I insist on foam board on the south gable end? |

It makes little sense to do foam on the south wall only. In your climate, foam board makes little sense generally. Your issue is solar gain more than anything else. Thermal bridging when your difference between indoor and outdoor temps is only 20 degrees is not much of an issue. You want to minimize solar gain and properly size your a/c to limit humidity. Those are your priorities. Next would be limiting internal gains. No incandescent lights. Cook outside. Hang dry your clothes or put a dryer in unconditioned space. Thermal bridging becomes more important when it is zero degrees outside and 70 inside. Is there some heat gain at 20 degree difference - sure. But it is very minimal. |
- Posted by landngarage (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 8:08
Thanks for the quick response. "Solar gain"... I need to learn more about that to reduce it...The gable end that faces south has four 3x5 double pane single hung windows, two to each floor. The builder has talked me into a silverish 26 gauge galvalume roof, rather than the dark grey I would have preferred. The brick goes up the entire gable end. Thanks again! |
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 14:09
Solar gain is generally through windows. You limit the gain by limiting the East and West windows and put overhangs on the South windows. Shade trees also help. Blackout screens help. Low SHGC windows help. But hurricane windows aren't great with SHGC - at least the cheap ones aren't. |
- Posted by landngarage (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 16:31
Thank you David. There's probably not much I can do on the windows for budget reasons. I hope to someday have some sort of roll down hurricane shutters for while I am off at work. (There aren't many downstairs windows on this building, it being primarily a garage.) I'll look into black out screens and the like. Thanks again! |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 18:49
our hottest walls are the west walls. but foil/foam sheathing should be on all exterior walls. tape all seams, repair any holes before cladding. tyvek is not necessary with the foam sheathing well sealed. (unless doing stucco..then two layers of tyvek) making the wall air tight and reflecting heat out will allow insulation inside the walls to perform. check out building a perfect wall for all climates at buildingscience.com interior air tight drywall. put the open cell foam under the roof decking. look for windows with solar heat gain coefficients size the hvac system for the improved structure darker roofs are hotter, reflective is better best of luck |

"Great recipe! I have a problem with eggs, so I don't use them, but add 2 Tbs of Ener-G Egg Replacer to the dry ingredients and increase the milk to 1-1/3 cup (I use rice milk because of a dairy intolerance). I also use guar gum instead of xanthan as it seems less slimy to me. And I only use two tsps of it. Like others, I replace the gluten fr..."
"I really like this recipe and have made it several times now, trying different things. I made it as written and I felt it was too oily. 2 tablespoons of oil would be plenty I think. I also felt there was too much liquid, but perhaps it is because I used lite coconut milk. I only used about 2/3 of the milk mixture. I made the recipe again using ski..."
"Holy cow these are good! The only substitution I made was to use peanut butter in place of the almond butter. Absolutely delectable! Sadly, the nutrition count is way off because it's not adding in the chia seeds, protein powder, or agave. The actual calories are about twice what is listed. Still...who cares? Yum!"
"Yum! These are so good. I made my own homemade egg noodles and this sauce took them over-the-top delicious. Thank you!"
"Fan-flippin'-tastic! I chose to try this recipe over others because it had more Nutella and less butter. Go figure - I actually wanted to taste the Nutella! And this recipe did not disappoint. I made a milk chocolate cake to go with it and the combination was divine. I am adding this to my regular recipes. Thank you so much for sharing your e..."
"Fabulous! I made a half batch in an 8x8 pan which seems like plenty to feed 4 to 6 people. I think the larger recipe would feed more like 8 to 12 people. I used super hot triple x New Mexican chiles and it was so freakin' good. I also used light sour cream and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the excellent recipe!"
"Love this! It truly is simple and extremely delicious. We love flank steak and rotate through several recipes. This one will be added to our rotation for sure! I followed the recipe exactly except for having to use Kirkland steak seasoning instead of McCormicks. Tasted fabulous. Oh, and I also lightly scored the meat before marinating. We barbecue..."
"I was so excited to find this recipe, since Andes mint ice cream got taken off the market several years ago (can't remember the brand). This recipe is wonderful - creamy and freezes without turning hard, plus so delicious! I omitted the coloring also, as I prefer my mint ice cream white. The calorie count in this recipe is pretty high, given the s..."
"Yum. This was so delicious. After two weeks of trying to do a low-carb diet and not finding anything sweet and satisfying, I was delighted to find this! I bet it's fabulous with the strawberries, but I used raspberries instead, and only 15 of them (to cut carbs so I could drink the whole thing myself). This made more of a smoothie-like consistency..."

Rather than lug around multiple skincare products, go for those that act as an all-in-one foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen. One to try: COOLA's organic Face SPF 30 Matte Finish Tint Mineral Sunscreen. It's chemical free and infused with antioxidant-rich borage seed oil and evening primrose extract to protect against the free radicals that speed aging, and shea butter to hydrate skin. Don't forget that skin-damaging UV rays can pass through windows, so be sure to apply sunscreen before as well as after your sweat session if you're working out in an area that gets natural light.

The African Bush vs LED Lenser M7 and P17
Upon my recent journey into the African bush, I found myself in an awkward situation where I was surrounded by dangerous animals whilst recording sound-scapes for The African Experience. To be honest I had over packed some out-door equipment to work with, in conjunction to my sound engineering equipment. The LED Lenser M7 and P17 found themselves a place in my self and co-producers hand at almost 100% of the time during night recordings. With many thanx to your company we managed to get out of some sticky encounters with reptiles and find a secure path through the off- road terrain. Dante D. Johannesburg, ZA

I bought a new set of cutlery for 12 about 6 months ago. They all still look brand new except for the knife blades which are pitting,looks like little rust marks. The set is 18/10 stainless steel but I understand that no blades are ever 18/10. But I do not know what they are. I complained to the manufacturer and they sent me 12 new knives and said that it was because my water was not hot enough and that I was using Cascade powder and that I should use the liquid. I received the new knives and have ran my dishwasher 4 times since then and still used the powder but turned on the internal water heater on my dishwasher. Well just noticed that it started again. Little rust marks on just the blades. The reason I did not get the liquid was because I noticed that the liquid has bleach whereas the powder does not. Do you really think that the liquid would make a differenc? |
Follow-Up Postings:
We just quit washing cutlery in the dishwasher at all. We had some older, wide-blade, knives that we liked to use for spreads and they started getting the rust spots - and it wasn't long until our newer ones were getting them too, so we just do all the cutlery by hand now. There's only two of us and neither mind doing dishes, but it's a pain to see your new stuff look like old stuff from washing them in the dishwasher. As far as the water not being hot enough... I always run the hot water to the kitchen faucet before I start the dishwasher to assure the hottest water is available. And the dishwasher also has a heater for the water, so I'm not buying that at all. I suspect the plating on the knives wears out quickly, so the steel on the knives is rusting - PERIOD. Don't have a problem now that we wash AND dry them by hand. The newer set will probably look better longer doing them by hand. -Grainlady |
My sister and mother always had-wash their silverplate,knives, and all metal pots. |
- Posted by patches123 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 4, 06 at 0:20
Could your water be high in metal...which then the deposits would then rust? |
You can get the enzyme detergent (no bleach) in liquid form, one brand is Cascade Complete. |
I'm having the same problems, except without any pitting. what's weird with my story is that this didn't happen until I UPGRADED my dishwasher to a Bosch. I use a powdered enzyme which cleans well. I've noticed that I now need to prerinse the knives, which helps. Any rust residue easily wipes off, but it's a pain. I just wouldn't think I'd have that problem with a Bosch, for goodness sake! |
I was taught to never, ever under any circumstances put knives in the dishwasher... which is a pain, but I have to say that it does keep the knives from rusting. And if the knives have wooden handles, washing by hand keeps the wood from drying out. So double your pleasure! |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio (My Page) on Sat, Aug 19, 06 at 1:38
I never put sharpened knives in the dishwasher but all the rest of the silverware goes in, including all the real silver. We use it every day. I would go to the manufacturer of the silverware and ask them what to expect from washing in the washer. |
- Posted by Carolyn(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Jul 9, 11 at 22:31
I did not have this problem until I bought a Bosch as well. Could it have something to do with the stainless steel interior of the dishwasher? I have to rewash all my knives now when they come out of the dishwasher. |

I just bought a great 19860s rocking chair over the weekend. It has its original finish and upholstery. I LOVE the original tapestry design and I think it really makes the piece. Unfortunately, it's so worn and faded that I don't want to leave it as is.
After browsing extensively, I think I'd be hard pressed to find another period textile that would look similar to the original design, that would be in my price range, AND that wouldn't make me cringe to cut up. I also haven't found any reproduction textiles that look remotely like the original design. I know how to do needlework, but I'm no pro. Am I insane to try and attempt to repair/redo the original pattern? Should I just replace it instead? If you were me, what would you do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's a full view of the rocker. Under the left arm, the textile is in great condition with bright colors and a nice plush surface. Please ignore the terrifying, vertigo-inducing linoleum. |
What you have is a "carpet rocker" so called because they were often upholstered with a piece of carpet. It doesn't appear that your chair's upholstery is an original piece of hand done needle work and I think it would be very difficult to repair. I would remove the stuff on the left arm and clean the rest and let it be.....while you try to fine a piece of antique carpet to do a more permanent re do. Or....you could make needle point replacement pieces.... Linda C |
And I think your chair is lots newer than 1860. |
Really? Hmm.... How new do you think it is? |
I know this is anathema to purists, but I would redo it in a bright, fun, bold, modern upholstery. I am linking to a blog with a picture of one done that way. Not exactly like yours, but the idea of what I like. Give it time to load, it comes right after the first pic and before all the comments. I have also seen wonderful redone furniture (not the highly valuable stuff, of course, but solid with great lines) where the frame is also painted in a bright color as well. It is a very cool look if you are not locked into all traditional furniture. |
Here is a link that might be useful: bright chair
Carpet rockers were in vogue from around 1860-1880. I was hesitant at first because of the black/gold finish on it, but after poking around on the inet, I found several pictures of very similar rockers with the same finish, original to that period. If a piece like that happened into an antique shop, a seller would of course without further documentation and a quick google know the period in which these were made. It would be very easy, knowing they were made as early as this to present or interpret the earliert date as the age of the rocker. So really, it would likely have been anywhere in that timeframe. The spindle style is vague enough that alone would make it hard to date any closer. As said, it doesn't appear to be anything other than loomed. I have seen very similar designs in other pictures of almost identical rockers with almost identical carpet patters. The probability it is loomed doesn't mean it can't be as early as 1860. Narrow loomed carpet was available long before that. Is the covering original? I dunno but I believe it's totally possible. Will it hurt the value of the rocker if replaced? Given the condition of the only arm covered in it, possibly not. What I would do, however, is to carefully remove the pieces, and put them away so that if you do decide to ever sell the piece, they are available to the new owner. Then I'd replace the carpeting with new so the piece would be functional. It's your decision. A lot of repros of carpet rockers were made, btw, offshore. But given the carpet style and condition, I don't think this is one, unless someone actually used old material to cover it with at some time. General wear and tear on the rocker bottoms should help you identify that issue. How far off the floor is the seat? It's hard to tell by this photograph the size of the unit. Is it a child's rocker? That may impact value. I just gave a relative a precious little antique child's rocker and they are quite collectable in this area.......more so than an adult rocker. My guess on age, just from the photo is anywhere up to late 1800s and that opinion is worth what you paid for it. ;-) It's a cute piece. |
From what I know....from years of seeing antiques and styles and also from searching the web, that style of rocker with the turnings was popular around 1880 and after. But what really puzzles me is the apparent lack of wear on the chair itself. I see no evidence of wear on the place on the chair where hands would rest or on the ends of the rockers where feet might have rested . I am having trouble figuring out how that rocker could be so well used as to wear out the fabric yet the paint could show no wear. I have 4 black painted Hitchcock chairs, new in 1956 or so that show considerable paint wear. A closer look at the fabric and the back of it should help put a date on that...is it tufted, jacquard loomed, selvege edge etc. Is the seat the same as the back? Is it possible that an unscrupulous dealer would take a very new repro and put an old hunk of stuff on it and jack up the price several hundred dollars? anything is possible I suppose. Linda C |
Thank you all so much for the information! I have to note, the photos are very deceiving. I discovered that when I took a photo of the chair with my camera phone, the carpet pattern was way more discernible in the photo than it is in person. That's why I used these two photos - I was trying to show the pattern. In person, there is no gold paint left on it except for a few tiny flakes in a couple crevices. The black finish has faded to a dark brown, and the tops of the arms where your hands rest are worn down to the bare light-colored wood (right more than left). I think I need to break out my real camera and take some photos with it instead! :) To answer calliope's question, this rocker is quite small but probably not small enough to be a child's rocker. I'm 5'4" and I feel a bit cramped in it, like my legs are a touch too long for it. I have a low Eastlake side chair that feels the same way. Not exactly comfy, but they sure are pretty. |
That style of rocker had disappeared from mainstream catalogues from at least mid-1880s on. One can find carpet-upholstered seats and backs by then, but it was applied over wood and usually padded. Since my fascination is with furniture of the Victorian/Edwardian era, I've also kept a large selection of magazines and catalogues from that era I was fortunate enough to inherit. It's sort of like going to the horse's mouth when in doubt of what was popular from that timeframe on. "What was popular" of course doen't give the last word on identifying any particular piece, but is a very valuable tool when one first ball-parks dating. So, I don't really think this style rocker was popular in the 1890s or afterward or it would have been represented in advertising. I can't find one example of them in the catalogues, and it isn't worth the time it would take to browse several hundred homemaker's magazines. |
Looking through period magazines and catalogs is a great idea, Calliope. Would you mind telling me some of the more useful catalog or magazine titles that you have? I'd love to keep an eye out for them on eBay and in my antiquing travels. Thank you! |
I don't mind the linoleum, but that orange shopping bag...my eyes! :P That's an interesting chair, and I'd love to see some closeups of the fabric (but I will not be helpful at all because I know absolutely nothing. I'm just nosy.). |

I suspect that is the original covering/finish. Black with gold highlights(ebonized) finish was very popular around 1880, especially when paired with fabrics that people thought were evocative of the Far East (although a lot of artistic license was taken). This chair is Aesthetic Movement in style (at least as far as color of finish and what is left of the fabric. I would guess that the chair was not use much and the fabric has just shattered/decomposed over time, giving the illusion of hard use. Perhaps there is sunlight damage to the fabric, etc. Here is a link to a very fancy cousin of this chair in the brooklyn museum. Note that the linked chair is made of bamboo, while the chair in question is obviously turned of hardwood. But you can get a lot of ideas about the aesthetic movement, color, and fabric options from the link. http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/2006/Rocking_Chair_Faux_BambooAesthetic_Movement_style |

How I Wrote It: Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding
Chad Harbach spent ten years working on his first novel, The Art of Fielding, which was selected as Amazon's top Best Books of the Month pick this month. Amazon's Kevin Nguyen called it "one of the year's finest works of fiction" and the novel has received stellar reviews elsewhere. We spoke with Harbach by phone last week about some of the details of his writing process. Here's a gently edited version of that conversation. (A link to the full audio version is below).
Q: When and where did you write this book?
A: Geographically it was written in lots of different places because I lived in several different cities over the course of the composition. But my physical process is pretty much the same. I mostly write in cafes, and I write all the first drafts longhand. So there are cafes in Boston and in New York and in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in Wisconsin where I've camped out for many long hours, churning out the initial drafts of each chapter.
Q: After writing in longhand, what's the next step for you?
A: The computer has a way of being pretty paralyzing if you're trying to compose on it, because you have that single blank screen and you feel tempted to just go back and go back and change what you're doing as you're doing it. The other thing I like about writing longhand is that there's a natural revision process that comes just from typing it into my laptop. Because, I kind of think that I'm going to transcribe word for word, but you very naturally wind up omitting the parts that are boring you as you go along. So you have a natural step in which you're cutting stuff down. And of course if a better word or a better idea occurs to me as I'm doing that, of course I just make the change as it happens. I guess that's the first round of revision, just typing it into the computer.
Q: Do you have any routines that you stick with? Are you a coffee fiend? Are you plugged into headphones listening to music? What's your "workspace," as you've taken it from city to city?
A: Of course, I wrote the book over a period of a lot of years, and during that time I had jobs and I had different prospects going on… I kind of wrote the book in bursts of a few months at a time, because when I was working on it, I needed to be doing it every day, but I didn't always have the time to work on it every day … For each of those few-month spurts that I was working on it, I would develop a set of routines that would last me for the duration of those few months. And they would differ from time to time. Sometimes it would be every morning, sometimes it would be afternoon. But generally it just involved going to the same place at the same time every day and drinking a pot of tea and just going as far through as I could.
A: You know, I can, but I've largely stopped… Of course, if you're working in a café there's probably music being played for you. It's very rare that you go to any public place these days and there's not something playing in the background. But I don't like to put headphones on and then have to crank my headphones up over the cafe music.
Q: Speaking of distractions... If you work in these intense bursts, it sounds like you're disciplined enough to be focused on what you're doing and just get the job done. But are there things you've had to be careful of allowing you to be distracted from the task at hand?
A: It's hard. I think it's another argument for not composing on my computer. I'm not so disciplined from one moment to the next. I've got to try and remove the distraction before I get started ... Once I've been writing every day for a few weeks, then it's really hard to get distracted. When I'm just getting going and getting back into it, then I'm incredibly susceptible to being distracted. Because the work, when you've been away from it for awhile, and you're not in that deep rhythm, it's frustrating and you're willing to tool around the Internet just to ease the frustration. It kind of depends on what stage I'm at.
Q: What are you reading during these intense writing bursts? Are you reading other books? Is there anything you might turn to for inspiration or distraction?
A: I'm also an editor at n+1, so I always have a certain amount of reading that I'm doing for that. I'm usually reading and editing for n+1 at the same time, so I often go embarrassingly long stretches without getting to read much fiction. But every once in a while, when I feel like I wasn't quite hitting the right notes, there are certain writers who I turn to briefly to remind myself of what really beautiful prose was. Chekov is one of those writers for me. I'll sit and read a couple Chekov stories and say, 'Oh, that's how you do it.' Deborah Eisenberg is another one of those writers. I like to just turn to a story or two and let that kind of center me a little bit.
Q: Was there one scene or passage that was particularly memorable or difficult or enjoyable to write? And can you recall what was going on when you were working on that one particular spot?
A: Very early on, actually, there's the critical scene at the beginning of the book where President Affenlight is at the game and Owen gets hit in the face by the baseball, which now occurs a little bit into the book but was actually one of the first things that I wrote. And that was a moment that felt like a very fortuitous moment of writing. Because I wound up writing that scene in a way that I had not envisioned going into the scene, and it turned out to be a scene that kind of expanded and changed the scope of the book in a way. Because I knew that I wanted to write the scene where Henry makes his first bad throw. And the germ of the book was always the relationship between Henry and Mike, and then this crisis that Henry had. But I knew that I needed to see that scene through the eyes of an outside observer. So I was like, alright, there's someone in the stands who's watching this. And I started to write the scene from the point of view of that person in the stands, and over the course of writing it that person turned out to be President Affenlight. And then I was asking myself, well, why is he there? And then it turned out he was there because he had come to see Owen, who then gets hit in the face. So this was early on and I had been planning the novel a little bit, but I had not really planned President Affenlight. So that was the one moment when I was getting going on the novel that felt very fortuitous, and I was like, Aha, now I'm starting to see the bigger shape of this thing.
Q: And do you remember anything about where you were when that occurred? Anything else that was going on around you?
A: I do remember it. It was a really long time ago, when I was living in Boston, before I had even gone to begin my MFA. That chapter actually was my MFA program application. So I wrote that chapter sitting in my apartment in Cambridge.
Q: What's it been like to have worked on this for so long and suddenly be in a media storm and getting all kinds of attention? (Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, the New York Times...) How're things feeling?
A: Things feel great! I have to say I'm really tired today. It's the end of what's been a really long and just amazing week ... It's really sort of humbling and hard to describe. You almost wish… It kind of all happened at once and you wish you could stretch it out a little bit.

Why do they give so much ridiculous, insignificant homework????? - page 4
I'm in my 3rd semester of a 4 semester ADN program. I feel like we have MORE hw this semester than ever before. Mind you, the answers to the homework are in the back of the workbook, so this just... Read More
0Oct 31, '12 by Overwhelmed1026Quote from MatthewSNI'm in an ADN program- it's the 300 level nursing class. The main focus is peds and OB with a sprinkling of Med-Surg. I've always been told med surg makes or breaks nursing students however most of my class loved last semester (all med surg) and did very well including myself. This semester sucks- tons more paperwork, idiotic concept maps, reflection papers and basically just busy work. I actually don't mind writing linear care plans however OB had been a challenge, I feel like most of the nursing diagnoses are hard to apply. It feels like OB nurses follow a more medical model vs the nursing model and that's cool and I'm pretty good with both but trying to write a nursing care plan that is halfway decent blows. The tests this semester have been a lot more brutal as well- ive scraped by with a B however i know a lot of people that consistently get A's that have failed these tests. The questions are very poorly written questions, a lot of them you read 5 times and still have no clue what it's asking. So I totally sympathize with useless paperwork and the all around increasing brutality.
How funny! I actually loved the OB! HATE Peds! But the OB has more psychosocial, fluffy crap that I'm REALLY good at

So how can I have the satisfaction of making my own smoked meat without a dragon? Well, I found a way to turn a crockpot into a small smoker, perfect for making a smoked meat feast fit for a khaleesi! Or a khal too, I guess. Continue reading

A Tropical Tomb Raider Dinner
1 MarTomb Raider is scheduled for release next week, and let me tell you, Melvin is excited.

Unfortunately, there was no dead man hanging in my backyard to supply me with a bow, so I needed to come up with an alternate recipe. Since Lara has found herself on a tropical island, why not make a tropical inspired dish? Something that Lara can enjoy once she's done exploring. So today we are making a Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Mango dressing, the kind of dinner that will get you in the mood for some tropical traversing. Continue reading
Portal Turrets in a Blanket

Our house has been complete for a year now, and we recently had the driveway and sidewalk done and are ready to begin on the landscaping. Are there any good programs available online to help us get started? We are located in southwest PA. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what plants to use or what types of plants should be used close to the house. On the left side, we'd like to do a shaped section with a dogwood tree. Other than that, we're stumped on ideas. Thanks!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use showoff.com. It's free and gives a reasonable end product as far as colors, sizes, and looks of plants to aid your decisions. Pretty house! A pic from the street would help a little too. Good luck. |
For the benefit of lurkers who might be future posters in a similar situation, it should be mentioned that you have actually already made the most significant landscaping decisions in the design of your sidewalk, driveway, and steps. I don't mean to say there is anything wrong with the decisions you made - in fact you've left yourself a nice big bed near the house in the contrast to some I've seen, and there is a pleasant curve on your driveway - but just to say that the plants are the flexible, temporary, personal, and occasional features of your landscape while the hardscape is permanent, full time, and will go from owner to owner unchanged. If, for example, you want to place trees to shade the house or the driveway or to provide privacy, that is often best decided before concrete is poured. Even, in some cases, before a house is built. Incidentally, you have not mentioned what direction the house faces, which will help with suggestions. Karin L |
Landscape Designing is very important to enhance your space. Try to start in the upper near the garage. |

Such things are aptly > called "tricks" because they stray away from the convention. I don't think that is true - C has ALWAYS had rules on strict aliasing, even from the first attempts at standardization. Unfortunately it is only recently that common compilers and hardware have really taken advantage of the way the language works to give better optimizing performance by storing more variables in registers rather than reloading pointers from memory every time. Mostly this is due to the small number of registers in the x86 architecture, doesn't lend itself to these optimisations as well as other architectures. Contrast with Itanium for example with lots of registers, some of which are designed to be preserved across a function call. FORTRAN compilers have taken advantage of aliasing optimizations right from the beginning (ie, since the 1960's!), and commodity C compilers are only now just catching up! So these are hardly new optimizations. > > Ideally, I suppose, for these purposes would be to use assembly language > routines mixed into the C code. But this is not as easy as with the > "tricks." Not at all, it is about producing more efficient assembly, using the language rules that have existed practically forever. If programmers have become accustomed to violating those rules, then they'll just have to get accustomed to not violating them. The rules aren't hard! And if you DO want to alias pointers of different types, then there are well-defined ways of doing that, and the resulting code tends to be much more readable too. Regards, Ian

Some figures suggest as much as 90% of the 380 billion discarded plastic bags we use each year in the U.S. end up in landfills instead of being recycled. Thankfully, some progressive cities such as San Francisco, Portland and Austin have banned the use of plastic bags entirely in stores. In several other countries around the world such as Belgium, Switzerland, and Germany, the use of plastic bags come with additional fees or taxes.
Still, that leaves an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags worldwide which are thrown out each year after just one use.
One simple solution is to offer customers Reusable Value Expo Tote Bags. Not only does this cut down on environmental waste and show you care about the planet, you can also elect to imprint your logo on the face of the bag and instantly market your brand to potentially hundreds of people!

We've got 9 colors to choose from including black, white, royal blue, navy, warm red, red, yellow, green and purple. We also offer 29 standard Imprint colors, plus a full color thermal transfer for a truly vibrant imprint. Prefer to purchase blank them blank? No problem.

Coffee is an essential part of my life.
So sad, really. But I don't have any other vices. What is someone who doesn't smoke, drink or sell drugs supposed to do? I suppose I should invest in Fourbucks (Starbucks is such a misnomer, isn't it?), but most of the time we just brew our own coffee at home. Since we work from home a lot, it's easier to do that then travel to pay more, right?
Anyway, I got a free offer from Amora coffee to try out their product, just pay for shipping. What they heck, we are going to buy some coffee anyway, so I might as well have some shipped to me and delay a trip to the store. So I purchased Amora coffee.
Just a few days later, we got the Amora shipment. I have to admit, they made a nice presentation. The box had bright red paper filling, a pleasant looking package with the freshly ground coffee. Well, they say they grind it just before they send it. So it should at least be better than Farmer's coffee (served at many diners). I have insider information that Farmer's coffee can sit in their warehouse for years before being used. Anyway, that's beside the point. The Amora box also had the usual promo materials explaining the company's process with the coffee. So they got a pass on that part.
When it came to the price for getting more coffee, I was a bit shocked. To reorder, I'd be spending $12+ per 8 oz bag of ground coffee. And they send 4 bags! I can get 16 oz from Fresh and Easy around the corner for just over $7. So that's a no brainer. I called to cancel any future shipments, and got another surprise. The lady on the phone offered to give me free shipping AND reduce the cost of the coffee by 3 dollars, bringing the cost to $9 per 8 oz bag. Still, not very good. Let me be clear, the coffee is just fine. We've been drinking it and there's no complaints there. What I'm not happy about is the lack of transparency with their pricing.
Visit Amoracoffee.com and you'll find that the prices aren't listed. The ONLY option is to try their free offer, 4 . I assume that's because they list different prices on pages not listed on the website navigation bar. I understand the need to be profitable, and I'm not expecting them to ship me free coffee. But don't assume I'm too stupid to figure out covert pricing strategies. A quick Google search using the search term "amora coffee pricing" revealed a web page that lists the price as $9.95 per 8 oz bag! And you have to pay nearly $9 for shipping since they are sending 4 bags. I say a better strategy is either offer free shipping or don't offer it, but don't only offer it when I call to cancel.
To their credit, Amora's offer includes a free metal coffee canister that looks nice, in the next auto-shipment. But when companies get into this kind of covert pricing strategy, how am I supposed to NOT wonder where else are they trying to pull the wool over my eyes? No thanks, I'll just continue to get my coffee from Fresh and Easy. It didn't taste THAT good that I'm going to spend 2X what I need for my morning joe. But really, it's the secretive pricing that irks me. In my mind, that kind of strategy does more harm than good in the long run.

HONG KONG (AP) - The former CIA employee who leaked top-secret information about U.S. surveillance programs has said in a new interview in Hong Kong that he is not attempting to hide from justice there but is using the city as a base to reveal wrongdoing.
Edward Snowden dropped out of sight after checking out of a Hong Kong hotel on Monday. The South China Morning Post newspaper said Wednesday that it was able to locate and interview him.
It said Snowden, who has been both praised and condemned for releasing documents about U.S. telephone and Internet surveillance programs, said he was "neither a traitor nor hero. I'm an American."
Asked about his choice of Hong Kong, Snowden said "I am not here to hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality."

You'll find peace and serenity when wearing this beaded, tassel bracelet.
Project Details
- Level:intermediate
- Time:1 hour
Project Instructions
1Measure a length of beading wire to fit your wrist size, plus an additional few inches.
2String 4 gold beads, then add a white bead to both sides of the gold beads. Finish by stringing on the same number of orange beads to both sides until you reach the desired then.
3Add a crimp bead and jump ring on one end. Loop the wire back through the crimp bead, leaving the ring in the loop. Pull tight and crimp the bead using chain nose pliers. Place crimp cover over the closed crimp bead and close with pliers. Repeat on the other end of wire with the lobster clasp.
4Create tassel with DMC floss by first winding floss around a piece of heavy cardstock, 2x the length of the desired tassel, until you reach the desired fullness. Cut a piece of floss a few inches long and lay horizontally , then slide the floss off the cardstock, and center it on the cut piece of floss. Tie floss into a tight knot around middle of looped thread. Pull the looped threads downward and cut through looped ends. Cut another piece of floss to wrap tassel neck. After wrapping neck, pass end of thread through loop and gently close loop, tucking ends into the head of the tassel. Trim tassel ends if necessary.
5Finish by tying the floss loop to a jump ring and attaching it to your bracelet between the center gold beads. Attach the peace charm with a jump ring in the same spot.

Let's push everything else aside, 'cause there no bigger 2012 news then Muskrat Falls (MF) and the fiscal cliff NL and Canada is set to slide over in years to come. Wrong assumptions made by the NL Prov. Gov't. has it in trouble already -assuming the cost of oil will remain high. Wrong, right? Better suck back and reload on MF, as well - for Quebec will separate and NL can have all the Hydro Power ncessary from Churchall Falls (CF) plus other alternate sources. My prediction(s) is/are - MF will shove NL and its fine souls over the fiscal cliff making CF look like a good deal. cfa

Is a Karaoke Bar a Good Place for a Date?
You've been going out with your sweetie for a while now and it's getting harder to find new things to do. You've covered everything from going to the movies to taking a hot air balloon ride. Now you're looking to mix things up by introducing karaoke into the mix. But of course the main question is whether or not a karaoke bar is a good place for a date.

0Jun 21, '12 by radoncnurseHi Mom TO 4,
I am so glad I found you. I am currently an oncology nurse and am considering Loyola's DNP program. How was orientation? Does it seem like everyone is friendly? Also, did you have to go down to NO for in person interview? I'm glad its all online except for the yearly orientation week. Any info is appreciated.
radoncnurse -
0Jun 21, '12 by Mom To 4Yes, all of the faculty are DNP educated and very helpful and nice. You get everyone's email, office number, and cell number so you can call if you need to do so. The campus is beautiful and I loved it down there. So far the work is tough but I just keep plugging away. It will all be worth it in the end.
0Feb 8, '13 by PplCallMeHilaryI was admitted to Loyola's BSN-DNP program back in December, and I've been trying to get in contact with a student currently in the program just to get some info and stuff. If someone could email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, I'd greatly appreciate it!!
0Feb 8, '13 by NJprisonrn, MSN, NPI want to chime in as a new NP student who just started clinicals. My preceptor is awesome, and the docs and PAs are willing to teach. I am so grateful. It occurred to me today that my clinicals (I'm in a rehab hospital) are similar to nursing school, but cooler and with much less urine. You have made a great choice. I can't wait to be an NP and precept students of my own!!! Good luck to all.

Hello I see you are starting next month at Loyola. I am as well and I look forward to meeting everyone. There is a Facebook page Loyola New Orleans BSN-DNP that you can join. It is not only people in the upcoming class but last years class also. I have learned so much just by chatting with them. Look forward to meeting you.

Favorite Spaces
The lobby of the Dorchester, in London, is everything an important hotel lobby should be: at once grand and intimate, classic and modern. You can have a cozy chat in an alcove, and you'll feel as if you're on a catwalk when you approach reception. www.dorchesterhotel.com
Room 405 at the Gora Kadan, in Hakone, Japan, has a watercolor-worthy view of a valley dotted with cherry and pine trees, and an onsen tub big enough for a sumo wrestler. On the desk is a lacquer writing box with paper, dry ink, and a traditional bamboo brush, just in case you feel inspired to pen a haiku. www.gorakadan.com
With its 230-degree views of the Indian Ocean—plus a private lap pool, terrace, and bale (bamboo pavilion) for meals and napping in the shade—the Indrakila suite at Bali's Amankila is close to perfection. www.amanresorts.com
The spa bungalows at the Four Seasons Resort, Carmelo, Uruguay, are the ultimate place for alfresco bathing: each has a shower tucked away in its own garden. The sleek, color-saturated Asian interiors are an unexpected pleasure in the middle of a South American eucalyptus forest. www.fourseasons.com
Quintessentially Dutch (i.e., supremely tasteful, in a laid-back way), the Picasso Suite at Seven One Seven, in Amsterdam, occupies the entire front half of the hotel's second floor; it has an antique refectory table with two huge Belgian-linen slip-covered sofas on either side, and five enormous picture windows facing the Prinsengracht. Squint, and you're back in the 18th century. www.717hotel.nl
The Vera Wang boutique at Honolulu's Halekulani is the source for her lines of crystal and silver-plate serving pieces, her collection of correspondence cards, and more. www.halekulani.com
Italian architect-designer Maria Hedley stocks the boutique at Carlisle-Bay, Antigua with a surp rising selection of treats: handmade coral jewelry and children's clothes from small Italian and Belgian designers such as Livio de Simone and Archimede. www.carlisle-bay.com
For a stylish mix of Muriel Brandolini caftans, Missoni bikinis, and jewelry designed by Alexis Bittar, Julie Sandlau, and Colette Malouf—in short, everything you need to fit in poolside in South Beach—we love the shop at the Raleigh. www.raleighhotel.com
In the pool villas at Trisara, in Phuket, the beds are positioned to overlook each villa's gorgeous private swimming pool and, beyond, the Andaman Sea. www.trisara.com
Venice's Oltre il Giardino, an inn set in a house once owned by Gustav Mahler's widow, Alma, has a beautiful walled garden filled with olive trees and magnolias, perfect for breakfast in warmer weather. www.oltreilgiardino-venezia.com
It may not be the most lavish of the breed, but the infinity pool at the Horned Dorset Primavera, in Puerto Rico, is one of the most serene. It's rarely crowded, because the resort is so secluded and most guests spend the day by the larger, more central pool. Plus, you can lean right over its edge to watch the waves steadily lapping the shore below. www.horneddorset.com

About Space Dust
Origins of dust
A scanning electron microscope image of an interplanetary dust particle.
(Courtesy E.K. Jessberger, Institut für Planetologie, and Don Brownlee, University of Washington)
Dust in space gives scientists clues to processes throughout the solar system and the galaxy. Dust grains are generated by several processes, including mutual collisions between asteroids or Kuiper-Belt objects, hypervelocity impacts on airless bodies, such as the Earth's moon or the Galilean moons, and other, more exotic processes, such as the volcanoes on Jupiters moon Io or the hydrothermal vents on Saturn's moon Enceladus. Studying these grains can give scientists clues about how the solar system was formed billions of years ago and how the solar system works today.
Importance of dust
The universe slowly recycles dust, moving it from one location to another. A dying star will send dust out into interstellar space. This dust can then collect with gas into clouds that slowly cool and become denser. Eventually, these clouds of gas and dust contract to form new stars and planets, and the cycle begins again.
Since dust is found throughout the galaxy in numerous environments, it contains information about a vast quantity of sources. By studying the dust in our own solar system, we can learn about planets, moons, and comets in our own planetary system as well as about stars and nebulae much farther away. We can also learn about the processes that affect dust as it travels throughout space.
So why care? Because we are surrounded by the ashes of dead stars, and by studying these ashes we can learn a lot about the universe that surrounds us.

How's the fit on this one compared to the player flannel?
Four Horsemen
Similar fit in length. However this one will be a little slimmer. You also get snap front closers and hidden handwarmer pockets. This piece is a wardrobe staple on and off the hill.
