Standing out and standing up.
University of Canterbury / Acquisition Campaign
Campaign Strategy, Digital Strategy, Content Strategy, IA/UX + Development
The Challenge
Facing a potentially significant drop in intake in 2012 following the region's devastating earthquakes of 2010/11, University of Canterbury (UC) had more to overcome than the usual challenge of standing out and recruiting its share of new students from within a very competitive regional and national market. UC has unique strengths in some areas – for example, the College of Engineering – but has a full suite of degrees across five colleges that need to 'get the numbers' each year.
The core focus for much of Canterbury is now to rebuild and refocus. For UC it's also about giving clear messages about what it does, how it does it, and why UC is vital for its region and stakeholders. The recruitment challenge therefore needed to be met with a realistic, frank, yet confident proposition. Simply stating that UC is still operating is not enough validating this in 'customer' terms, and showing how current students have coped and are thriving at UC, were an essential factor this year.
The challenge was to drive enrolments among final-year high school students, especially from Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Validation around 'new barriers' was critical – as was the need to better engage with potential students right through their journey from consideration to application. A recent review had identified the need to support key audiences in prime channels more deliberately. The UC website, for example, was underpowered as a sales tool, and lacking in appeal for the target audience of 17- to 18-year-olds.
The Solution
The UC campaign embodies our belief that access and insight make a world of difference. The UC acquisition campaign for the 2012 undergraduate intake launched with a media schedule focused heavily on the local catchment. It uses digital as a strong central element, but also uses outdoor media and print. Students can see the goals, lives and experiences of current students, and get an inside view of the diversity of colleges, the passion of teaching staff, the calibre of facilities, and student learning, living and Campus experiences.
As an integrated campaign with a microsite at its heart, the interaction model is built on and around the real-life experience of UC students. The stories of seven current students are told in a short video format, shot in a direct and authentic style to best capture their individual voices. These are augmented by a series of short vignettes exploring particular aspects of student life at UC, and by videos of UC lecturers. The campaign allows for a user journey that meets potential students' needs at three core stages URLs, QR codes on media placements, and digital advertising offer access to a rich digital experience that encompasses all the essential information about UC, using peers in frank and grounded situations to show it like it is.
The three stages of the campaign to encourage students to study at UC are:
- ATL, mostly outdoor for reach and communication of headline messages.
- Online advertising, using a mix of Flash and video creative (including TVNZ OnDemand).
- Natural search, through a large body of video content hosted on YouTube.
- Viral appeal, primarily through audience sharing content on social networks.
- Rather than deploy typical 'voice of the brand' content, we built the Microsite around the 'voice of our students', told almost entirely through video.
- The addition of shorter vignettes featuring students and lecturers was a cost-effective way of significantly increasing campaign content. It made for a fuller, more interesting experience on the Microsite, and boosted natural search on YouTube and Google as a discovery mechanism, extending the impact of the campaign well past the few months of ATL.
- While student voices are at the forefront of the campaign, the Microsite also offers light UC content about studying, enrolment and accommodation.
- This combination of personal and practical approaches was designed to drive as much traffic as possible to the UC website and, ultimately, to stimulate the number of enrolments received there.
Social Media integration
- All video content hosted on YouTube for ease of sharing to websites and social networks. Other benefits include immediate indexing on Google, and zero hosting costs to the client.
- Integrated Facebook discussion onto the Microsite.
- Short video vignettes offering more shareable appeal.
- Post to Twitter and Facebook integration.
Key considerations: A recruitment campaign and multi-stakeholder engagement platform were required to ensure numbers for the second semester of 2011, for business continuity and for setting a platform for 2012 UC recruitment. Undergraduates were the prime focus, with special emphasis on protecting the 'local' catchment.
Segmentation: Prospective undergraduates and their influencer groups; media and staff.
Media: Press and outdoor, bus backs and bus shelters. The core deliverable was a digital engine and social strategy to allow prospects to access 'real peers' and see the 'under-the-hood' workings of UC. This was supported by PR and collateral, and the liaison team at UC.
The Result
The engagement experience is upfront, real, personal, transparent and resolutely peer led. Potential students can see the accessibility and diversity of lecturers, as well as the open spaces and open-mindedness of UC and Christchurch as a city. There is high student engagement in and on Campus. Staff engagement has also been high. It is still too early to gauge target student acquisition.

Recovery and reuse of materials from consumed products. The main motives for recycling have been the increasing scarcity and cost of natural resources (including oil, gas, coal, mineral ores, and trees) and the pollution of air (see air pollution), water (see water pollution), and land by waste materials. There are two types of recycling, internal and external. Internal recycling is the reuse in a manufacturing process of materials that are a waste product of that process, and is common in the metals industry (see scrap metal). External recycling is the reclaiming of materials from a product that is worn out or no longer useful; an example is the collection of old newspapers and magazines for the manufacture of newsprint or other paper products.

The goal of radiation is to kill cancer cells by directing strong X-rays or other radiation at the site of the tumor. The radiation damages the cancer cells and stops them from growing and dividing. Radiation therapy is a local therapy, meaning that it affects the cancer cells only in the treated area. It is used most often if you are unable to have another treatment because of another medical condition, such as bleeding problems, or if the cancer is in an area that would be hard to remove with surgery.
If you have radiation therapy, you will meet with a radiation oncologist. This doctor will estimate the size of your cancer. For example, the radiation oncologist may find that a growth such as a basal cell tumor may be larger under the surface of the skin than it appears to be on the surface. The radiation oncologist will then create a plan that details what kind of radiation therapy you will have and how long the therapy will last.
Radiation therapy affects normal cells as well as cancer cells. Side effects of radiation depend on what part of the body is treated. You might have dry, red skin, or a rash. This irritation will go away after treatment is done. Your doctor can recommend ways to relieve these side effects.

Ok, so I don't have an all out fear of driving. I drive all the time. LOCALLY. However, I am scared to death to drive on the highway, big roads, and unknown areas.
This fear has robbed me of a couple of good jobs because I was afraid to drive to a far away interview. Who knows how different my life would be if I could conquer this fear. People make fun of me because of this, and some people even get mad at me because I am afraid to drive an hour away to visit them.
I don't even know what it is exactly that I am afraid of. Maybe an accident, or a fear of getting lost, or breaking down on the side of the road. I don't know.
I drive on the highway in my own local city, but when it comes down to me having to drive in a big city, I feel like crying just thinking about it.
I couldn't have written this better myself. I have an intense fear of interstates and my family and friends are constantly annoyed with me because of it. Not to mention that it is embarassing to me!

Bioluminescence imaging has been used in a range of research fields over the past decades. Despite its advantages of very low background, high S/N ratios and an extended linear detection range, luminescence imaging with traditional microscopes has suffered from low image resolution and long exposure times. These drawbacks have limited its use and kept bioluminescence in the shadow of fluorescence imaging. With its unique optical design, the LV200 microscope takes full advantage of bioluminescence and provides the capability to acquire images with unrivalled brightness, high resolution and convenience.

1 In those days Hezekiah was sick unto the death; and Isaiah, the prophet, the son of Amoz, entered to him, and said to him, The Lord saith these things, Dispose thy house, for thou shalt die, and thou shalt not live. (In those days Hezekiah was sick unto the death; and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, went to him, and said to him, The Lord saith these things, Set thy affairs in order, for soon thou shalt die, and thou shalt not live.) | 1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover." |
2 And Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed the Lord, | 2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, |
3 and said, Lord, I beseech; have thou mind, I beseech, how I went before thee in truth, and in perfect heart, and I did that that was good before thine eyes. And Hezekiah wept with great weeping. (and said, Lord, I beseech thee; remember, I beseech thee, how I went before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and I did what was good before thine eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.) | 3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly. |
4 And the word of the Lord was made to Isaiah, and said, | 4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: |
5 Go thou, and say to Hezekiah, The Lord God of David, thy father, saith these things, I have heard thy prayer, and I saw thy tears. Lo! I shall add on(to) thy days fifteen years; | 5 "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. |
6 and I shall deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyrians, and I shall defend it. | 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city. |
7 Forsooth this shall be to thee a sign of the Lord, that the Lord shall do this word, which he hath spoken. (For this shall be a sign to thee from the Lord, that the Lord shall do this thing, which he hath spoken.) | 7 " 'This is the LORD's sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: |
8 Lo! I shall make the shadow of lines, by which it went down in the horologe of Ahaz, in the sun, to turn again backward by ten lines. And the sun turned again by ten lines, by [the] degrees by which it had gone down. (Lo! I shall make the shadow, cast by the sun, which went down on the stairway of Ahaz, to turn backward, or to go up, ten steps. And so the sun went back up ten steps on the stairway, on which it had just gone down.) | 8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.' " So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down. |
9 The scripture of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness. | 9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery: |
10 I said, in the middle of my days, I shall go to the gates of hell. I sought the residue of my years; (I said, in the middle of my days, I shall go now to the gates of Sheol, that is, to the gates of the land of the dead/I shall go now to the gates of the grave; I shall be deprived of the rest of my years;) | 10 I said, "In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?" |
11 I said, I shall not see the Lord God in the land of livers; I shall no more behold a man, and a dweller of rest. (I said, I shall no longer see the Lord God in the land of the living; I shall no longer see any person, or any other inhabitant of this world.) | 11 I said, "I will not again see the LORD, the LORD, in the land of the living; no longer will I look on mankind, or be with those who now dwell in this world. |
12 My generation is taken away, and is folded together from me, as the tabernacle of shepherds is folded together. My life is cut down as of a web; he cutted down me, the while I was woven yet. (My source of life is folded up, and taken away from me, like a shepherd's tent is folded up. My life is cut down like a web; he cut me down, while I was still weaving it.) | 12 Like a shepherd's tent my house has been pulled down and taken from me. Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, and he has cut me off from the loom; day and night you made an end of me. |
13 From the morrowtide till to the eventide (I felt like) thou shalt end me; I hoped till to the morrowtide; as a lion, so he all-brake my bones. From the morrowtide till to the eventide (I felt like) thou shalt end me; (From the morning until the evening I felt like thou shalt end me; then I was in pain until the morning again; like a lion, thou hast broken all my bones. From the morning until the evening I felt like thou shalt end me;) | 13 I waited patiently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me. |
14 as the young of a swallow, so I shall cry; I shall bethink as a culver (I shall moan like a dove). Mine eyes beholding on high, be made feeble. Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me; | 14 I cried like a swift or thrush, I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. I am troubled; O Lord, come to my aid!" |
15 what shall I say, either what shall he answer to me, when he hath done (this)? I shall bethink to thee all my years, in the bitterness of my soul. (what shall I say, or what shall he answer to me, when he himself hath done this? I shall think about thee all my years, in the bitterness of my soul.) | 15 But what can I say? He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this. I will walk humbly all my years because of this anguish of my soul. |
16 Lord, if men liveth so (Lord, if people so liveth), and the life of my spirit is in such things, (then) thou shalt chastise me, and shalt quicken me. | 16 Lord, by such things men live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live. |
17 Lo! my bitterness is most bitter in peace (Lo! peace was my bitterness, and it was most bitter); forsooth thou hast delivered my soul, that it perished not; thou hast cast away behind thy back all my sins. | 17 Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back. |
18 For not hell shall acknowledge to thee, neither death shall praise thee; they that go down into the pit, shall not abide thy truth. (For Sheol, or the grave, shall not acknowledge thee, nor shall death praise thee; and they who go down into the pit, shall not wait for thy truth.) | 18 For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. |
19 A living man, a living man, he shall acknowledge to thee, as and I today; the father shall make known thy truth to [the] sons. (But a living man, yea, a living man, he shall acknowledge thee, like I do today; and the father shall make thy truth known to his children.) | 19 The living, the living--they praise you, as I am doing today; fathers tell their children about your faithfulness. |
20 Lord, make thou me safe, and we shall sing our psalms in all the days of our life in the house of the Lord. (Lord, thou hast saved me, and so we shall sing our songs all the days of our lives in the House of the Lord.) | 20 The LORD will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the LORD. |
21 And Isaiah commanded, that they should take a gobbet of figs, and make a plaster on the wound; and it should be healed. (For Isaiah had commanded, that they should take a piece of figs, and put a plaster on the wound; and then he would be healed.) | 21 Isaiah had said, "Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover." |
22 And Hezekiah said, What sign shall be, that I shall ascend into the house of the Lord? (And then Hezekiah had said, What shall be the sign, that I shall go up into the House of the Lord again?) | 22 Hezekiah had asked, "What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the LORD?" |

Our luxury Copper-colored Amaryllis Gift Kits were made just for us! Each kit comes in a square copper-colored pot plus liner and potting soil. The jumbo bulb in this one is "Carmen", a deep cherry red with at least two stems of flowers. This one is a great quality gift, and everything is packed in the copper-colored pot, with a full-color top label and simple instructions. So even if your gift recipient is an old hand at amaryllis, you'll know they've never received a kit with a copper-colored pot quite like this one before.
Ever grown an amaryllis inside the house? It's a snap. There can be rain, cold or snow outside, but all you do is water this "magic lily", and it zooms into growth. In just a few days, the stems arise, and in a few weeks the enormous flowers begin to open--huge lily blooms up to 8" across! (Our kit contains a bulb that will produce at least two stems, each with 3 or 4 flowers!) Then you have the big show for over a month. It's just 6 to 10 weeks from first watering to full bloom.
Note about Gifts: If you are ordering gifts that will require shipping to more than one address, please create separate orders for each address, since shipping for each must be recorded separately.
Quantity Discounts and Corporate Gifts: If you'd like 15 or more kits, please call (877) 309-7333 for special quantity discounts on this product.

Comments about American Meadows Amaryllis Kit: Carmen in square copper pot - Growing Kit:
It grew very fast in the pots out on the patio. When they started to bloom, we cut the stems and put them in the house. They bloomed fully and lasted a long time in a vase. When they were finished blooming, we planted them in the yard. They will bloom year after year and spread.
Great Color!

Sent this amaryllis kit to a dear friend for Christmas. It bloomed a fabulous red and she LOVED it! The anticipation as it grew was half the fun -- I kept getting emails about its progress. Perfect holiday color and she'll rebloom it next year, too.

I received this as a Christmas gift and planted it mid January. I have been enjoying blooms for the past few weeks. First 2 and now 4 gorgeous blooms with two more ready to pop.A treat of color as I dream of spring! So easy...I will put this on my gift giving list for next season....one size fits all! Thank you American Meadows!!
Your "Carmen" Amaryllis is really great!
By Ray Allen
from Blue Ridge, GA
This holiday season, I grew your "Carmen" Amaryllis in the really attractive copper pot. I've grown many of these before, but this kit (a gift) was particularly nice and easy to use. I simply potted and watered. First a stalk with 4 blooms rose and opened perfectly. Then a second stalk with 3 blooms replaced that, making the whole full bloom time almost three weeks--and right through Christmas and New Years. Really spectacular! THANKS for such quality bulbs!
Fantastic gift (for yourself and others)
By Beach Gardener
from Seattle, WA
I bought several as holiday gifts for friends. Everything about them was fantastic: easy to grow, healthy plants, vibrant colors and an attractive pot. My friends were elated and I kept one for myself. I bought more again this year.
What a great gift!

About Me Avid Gardener, Casual Hobbyist
this was given as a gift to a friend for Christmas and as my friend has never had an amaryllis before, it was truly enjoyed from start of planting time to end of blossoming. My friend was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep the bulb healthy, but she has nurtured the bulb by following the simple instructions and is looking forward to having another set of blossoms sometime in the next few months. My friend is so impressed and now says "it's really easy to care for these gorgeous creatures".
Great gift at a great price!
By MaryS
from Tidewater Virginia
Purchased this as a gift, but kept it for myself; the container was too attractive to give away. Turned out that the bulb and flower were beautiful, too!
Everyone loves amaryllis, and if you've grown them, you know how quickly and beautifully they bloom, almost like magic. Any bulb with an eight to twelve-inch bloom that flowers in just a few weeks in a small pot has to be special. That's why amaryllis has been the top "Indoor Bulb" forever. It does just fine in very mild zones out in the yard, but in most of North America, amaryllis is a house plant, and one of the few that is happy to bloom indoors while the snow flies outside. Best of all, growing them beautifully takes absolutely no gardening talent or experience, and that's why they're so popular in "Gift Kits" for the holidays. If you've never planted a seed or grown a bulb, you can be an amaryllis expert in minutes. Simply plant your bulb and add water. It's really that simple.
Most amaryllis are imported from Holland, and arrive in the United States during the fall season. Then, they're sold in garden centers and online for bloom as houseplants during the holidays and into the winter. First, let's cover the basic "How-To" for indoor growing:
Once your bulb is planted, water sparingly until the sprout is well out of the bulb. (It won't take long.) Then water regularly and your amaryllis will produce its spectacular huge flowers. Remember to keep turning the pot regularly to make the stalk grow straight as they have a tendency to grow towards the light.
After winter bloom, if you want to rebloom your amaryllis, it's quite simple. When blooms fade, cut off the tubular flower stems near the top of the bulb, leaving the foliage to continue growing.
Water as usual and apply water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks. Once spring arrives and frost is past, sink the Amaryllis pot in the garden in a sunny place. Continue to fertilize. At the end of the summer when frost threatens, simply pull the pot out of the ground, wash it out, and take it inside, and allow it to dry out completely in a warm dry place like a utility room. Once the leaves are dead and the bulb dry (usually 5 to 6 weeks), the bulb is ready for repotting. Simply cut off the dry leaves, and repot your bulb in fresh potting soil and start the growing cycle again.

- Tam High's CTE offers a lot more than high-stakes theater
IT'S PROBABLY a good thing Christina Stroeh lost some of her mojo when she started at San Diego State University in hopes of a theater career.
"I thought I was the big cheese at San Marin (High School) when I was there," she says, "and I became very intimidated by the competition in the theater world. I realized maybe I wasn't so cut out for it."
Whatever Broadway missed has benefited Terra Linda High School, where Stroeh has been teaching drama for 25 years as well as producing and directing four productions — a musical, a comedy, a drama and a Shakespearean play — a year ever since. In a few days she will direct her 100th production, "In the Heights."
is a bit crazy, she admits.
"There are very few high schools that do four productions a year, and some years I've done five productions, craziness like that," she says. "It's ridiculous really. But if it wasn't so much fun and if it wasn't so gratifying and exciting and challenging, then we wouldn't do it."
Challenging is a good word to describe what Stroeh does, says Lars Christensen, Terra Linda High principal. Not only does she pick plays that tackle some tough topics — last year, the school performed "The Laramie Project," based on the murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard — but she also demands a lot from her students.
"She really picks difficult plays, difficult musicals. She pushes the kids. We're not on the stage singing 'Jingle Bells.' They're performing high-level material," Christensen says. "She makes a difference on this campus on a day-to-day basis, really an hour-to-hour basis. She forms lifelong relationships with her students. And it's not because she's all warm and fuzzy."
The students are up to the challenge.
"She's like a mother to us," gushes 16-year-old Sierra Lewandowski, a junior. "She's such a mentor for all of us. She cares about our growth."
"I never met a person who is so passionate about her work. She's one of those people you want to be around," says Shannon Gerrity, 17, a senior. "It's actually pretty amazing it's a student-run program."
Stroeh sees herself as a facilitator — the students do everything else, from making costumes to building sets to choreographing to stage managing and more. The program, supported by ticket sales and an active booster club, is open to all students, and even those who aren't in the drama program can audition for a part.
While most of her students aren't necessarily seeking careers in professional theater, they learn skills they can use in any profession, the Novato resident says.
"Because they're given so much creative freedom and independence to lead, they become very confident," says Stroeh, 48, who is also a singer-songwriter and classically trained pianist.
Part of what drives Stroeh is her own experience as a drama student in high school.
"There was so much that I wanted to do that I didn't get to experience. It's almost like I'm living vicariously through them, that sense of, 'Oh, I always wanted to be in that play. Oh, I'm going to
direct it!'" says Stroeh, who started teaching at Terra Linda High when she was 23.
She chose the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama "In the Heights" as her 100th show because when she saw it on Broadway with her daughter, now 21, a few years ago, it made her sit at the edge of her seat "like a little kid."
As usual, the play's a challenge, but this time for Stroeh, too.
"I was terrified (to do it). That's my dream show," she says. "Knowing what I saw on Broadway is what I want to repeat onstage and it seems a little silly to say that but my expectation, my standard for the show, is really high."

Elvis Presley could be called the King of rock and roll, nevertheless the best King Elvis tracks expose much more than just rock songs. Scored hits on the country, R & B and pop charts while showing blues, gospel and also rockabilly influences. His performances, from some time, could have considered too hot for television – but he proved to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
Although, Loving You (1957), Jailhouse Rock (1957), and Kid Creole (1958) earned money for their producers, Elvis successfully covered (or re-recorded) "Hound Dog" four years later. In doing this, Elvis did something no one had done before him: he managed to sound Black even though he was ethnically White. His performance of "Hound Dog" quickly achieved almost legendary success with Black as well as White listeners everywhere.
Elvis Presley's love songs are some of the most popular songs of his profession. Presley "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You, Burning Love , It's Now or Never , Can't Help Falling in Love" Elvis delivered them to convince fashion, the song and the simple romantic message earned the all-time best song Elvis Presley.
Elvis Presley, the greatest pop musician that ever lived.

Hello everyone,
I'm new at mosaic art, and this is my first post. I looked everywhere before I found this forum! I used stained glass to do mosiacs, and white grout. I use white grout because I prefer to paint my grout a shimmery color that accents my piece. I've seen this done by other artists, and I think it is beautiful. My problem is that I have been using acrylic paint (sometimes thinned, sometimes not) and it doesn't work well at all. The paint does not adhere to the grout and it dries very splotchy and ugly looking. Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I using the wrong kind of paint? Or the wrong kind of grout maybe? Thank you to anyone who can help me! |

Hi, I've never tried painting grout befor, but maybe if you tried using gesso or another primer on the grout befor painting it may help. good luck. I'll bet the shimmery color is pretty. |
- Posted by lovemosaics (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 08 at 4:46
I always use the cheap acrylic paints and they work great. I never water them down though. They make the piece seem really finished and sealed looking. I paint it on thick, and give it a couple minutes, and wipe the glass. Never had a problem!..sorry to hear that isn't working for you! You might need to put it on a little more heavy, and let it soak in. I do mine about an hour or so after a project, don't know if that matters. Are you using sanded grout? That might be the problem? Sanded works great with paints! |
Thank you thank you thank you! I think I am using non-sanded grout. Yikes! I'll try using full strenth acrylic with sanded grout. And I'll post a picture of a before and after! Thanks again. |
Hi and welcome. I think your problem has already been identified - I do not like unsanded grout at all. I paint all my grout (sanded grout) using acrylic paints (the brand I happen to use is Ceramcoat by Delta) and I do not have a problem. The method of application that works best for me is to sponge on the paint using natural sea sponges. Somehow that works better than a brush. I squirt the paint into a jar lid, dip in the dampened sponge, dab all over the mosaic piece, wait until the paint is almost dry, then scrub the tesserae with a damp terrycloth rag.

I use white sand grout and add my paint right to the grout. I mix the grout first then add the color i want to the grout. It works great. |

Hi, I'm new to this group and mosaics also. I read in one of my books: to mix the acrylic paint with the grout,sounds like that makes it a little easier than painting it on. Good luck from one beginner to another beginner. |

Wow, inspiring. Thank you. Pinus mugo Dave's Choice I think Picea pungens Burl would look great. Dax |
Thank you Dax. Pinus banksiana can be very good between the rocks. I've never seen Picea pungens Burl, how many years ago it was find? Maria |
- Posted by longaeva54 6 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 12:32
Picea pungens Burl According to Coenosium Gardens This selection is too new and rare to have any large specimens to observe. Another Jerry Morris discovery, it appears to be a dwarf, cushion-shaped selection with blue foliage growing more congested than 'Platte Best Blue'. (2) Picea pungens Mseno, very slow growth,it is good for the rocks garden, but it is not an easy plant. Here is a link for a photo of Picea pungens Mseno http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/conif/msg0513550029823.html?70 |
Longaeva54, thank you for the information about Picea pungens 'Burl'. This Picea pungens 'Mseno' is very nice indeed! It was one of my must have, and I brought it from Czech Republic this spring. |
Ah! I think I delete pictures from the first topic by mooving them to another Photobucket album. So I put them again... Maria |

That is amazing stuff. It takes a lot of creative design to choose the right rocks and setting and you've done it as well as I've ever seen. I hope you continue to share photos - you've got great plants and original design ideas. -Will |

Sluice, LOVED your photos of the pines in rocks! Here are a few I took from a hike last weekend on a ridgetop that is very close in to Washington D.C. (where I live) It's Bull Run Mountain, Virginia. It caps out at about 1,315 feet. The very ridge top is exposed rocky cliff's / outcroppings that face west/soutwest and supports one of the rarer of the eastern pine spcies, Table Mountain Pine. It's one of my favorite local hikes and is an incredible spot. It also boasts a few almost pure stands of Quaking Aspen, which is not very common in VA except near the highest peaks, and you NEVER see it anywhere other than mountaintops over 1,000 feet. (Pinus Pungens) Table Mountain Endemic to the southern Appalachians, Table Mountain Pine is fairly common on dry, rocky ridges in the Mountain provinces of Virginia, and North Carolina, occurring almost entirely within the range of Vrigina Pine (Pinus Virginiana) and Pitch Pine (Pinus Rigida). This particular ridgetop supports a healthy population of all three of these pines in a narrow band just along the very rocky areas of the ridge top itself, for about a mile or so. As you can see from the photos there is one particular Table Mountain Pine tree I am quite fond of, and the views from up there overlooking the beautiful Virginia Highland countryside (the VA Wine Country) are quite spectacular. Hope you enjoy the photos! Stunted Table Mountain Pine growing in rocks on a cliff. This tree is about 7 feet tall and is probably well over 50 years old. Same tree with the sun behind it. Not 100% sure, but Im fairly certain this is a severely stunted Virginia Pine. Hard to tell with no cones on it. It is growing about 10 feet away back towards the rock face from the tree in the previous two photos, and is in a small crevice with organic matter that has built up in it. The crevice is in fact OPEN under neath. Im guessing this tree will eventually send a root down the side of one of the rocks to the soil that lines 50 feet below. Here are a few more photos of the ridge top area in general, which were taken in summer of 2006. Note the same tree in the first two photos above is in one of these photos as well: Another angle of the same Table Mountain Pine that appears in the first two photos. This one was taken in 2006 as well. |

An old "rocker" from the Toros Mts. by HTJ Zsolt |
Here is a link that might be useful: Juniperus polycarpos Hontalan

NEAT! Maria, what kind of rocks do you use? I suppose they are available commercially. How deep are the rock? Do you just use regular old yard dirt? I have begun growing prickly pear cacti in a small spot and see an idea for expansion. In Missouri it is difficult to find natural settings where pines grow from rocks but I remember it when I do. Sometimes right alongside the highways are best. |
Zlot, it is a very nice Juniperus, thank you! Toronado3800, thank you! Maria |
Maryn, I like the way you arranged the rocks and the scale you used. The tinest conifers will look at home there. A few years ago, when I was a lot younger, a friend and I arranged these field rocks with shovels and iron bars. Now I get to plant this area with small conifers. The tree on the upper left will be removed. It was providing shade to encourage the moss. Water runs through here for about six months of the year. The rocks are mostly granite. |
Thank you Mike! I like your rocks too, it is look like you did a very hard work. And create a wonderful place for Ferns and Conifers. You even have your own stream, I didn't have... but I'd love to... Maria |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b/6a (My Page) on Mon, Nov 15, 10 at 17:56
Surely a lot of people with unique lifestyles here. Maria & everyone for that matter, Zsolt has 275 photos in that album provided at his link. It's a magical place of as Zsolt said to me 'of the US Rocky Mountains'. The album is fantastic. I'm only to photo 214 myself having started this morning. Best Regards, Dax |
Thank you Dax. I nearly miss it. This is another view to the second rock I found when I was sorting my summer photos yesterday. Maria |

Hey all, I just wanted to post a correction to my post in this thread. The first photo, of the Table Mountain Pine (Pinus Pungens) that tree is not just well over 50 years old, it is in fact at LEAST 135 years old. I checked with the Bull Run Mountain Conservancy after I saw it listed at 125 years on their website, and they have had it listed at that age on their website for about 10 years now. Quite impressive for such a small / stunted little tree! |
Mike, those rocks are fantastic! |
Mike, thanks again! This year I'm going to finish my next rock. Hope you'll like it too! I like your rock garden, it looks very natural! Maria |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is EMMA!
Facts about EMMA
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
EMMA's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
HELP US PLEASE!! We have an URGENT need to place 2 Labrador Retrievers. They may have to go to the Pound any day now. They are coming to us from a home they may be coming to an end soon, and we are desperately looking for some "angels" to rescue these 2 healthy dogs. Emma is 3 and Charlie is 4 and both are females. They are both very sweet and fun loving and ready to find their forever home. We would like to adopt them out together, but if that is a problem for you, we would love to have you take one of them ASAP! They are a little nervous around strangers, but warm up quickly and respond well to love and caring. Give us a call here at Marley Farms to find out more information on Emma and Charlie!
Other Pets at Against All Odds Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
EMMA, a Gilbert Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

How in the heck do you cancel your own membership here!?!?! There is no link anywhere that I can see. I am sick of having 2 member names (dawnbrn). I only use the email linked to my original name. The email under dawnbrn is long gone. My trade list is under dawnbrn but my email addy is under mgood4u. It's messed up and annoying to try to trade!!! This all stemmed from my trade page under mgood4u getting completely screwed up and unfixable from my point of view. Getting no response from this website when I email multiple times is irritating me. I want to cancel both memberships and maybe start a new with my original one. |
Follow-Up Postings:
mgood4u, I'm certain if both memberships were canceled that you would not be able to sign up with an old member name of mgood4u. Why not just move your correct email addy to your member name dawnbrn, and then put a blurb on your mgood4u member page telling of your new member name, and maybe even link to it. Your trade page for mgood4u looks like it may have had some bad HTML or something mess it up. Clear as mud? If you have problems, give me a holler (email) Sue |

Arthrography is a type of X-ray used to examine a joint, such as the knee or hip, when standard X-rays are not adequate.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that restores the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones, or by replacing it with an artificial joint.
Orthopedic surgeons use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat joint problems. An arthroscope is a small, tube shaped instrument that is used to look inside a joint.
A bone biopsy is a procedure in which bone samples are removed to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
Bone densitometry is used primarily to diagnose osteoporosis and to determine fracture risk.
A bone marrow biopsy involves removing tissue from the red bone marrow to be sent to the lab for microscopic examination.
A bone scan is used to examine the various bones of the skeleton to identify areas of physical and chemical changes in bone.
The goal of surgery is to relieve pain and correct as much deformity as possible. The surgery is not cosmetic and is not meant to improve the appearance of the foot.
Carpal tunnel release is a surgery that's used to treat and potentially heal the painful condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome.
A CT scan shows detailed images of the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
A CT scan of the spine may be performed to assess the spine for a herniated disk, tumors and other lesions, the extent of injuries, structural anomalies such as spina bifida, blood vessel malformations, or other conditions.
If you are experiencing intense, intractable pain in your legs or arms from inflamed spinal nerves, then an epidural steroid injection might be the preferred treatment to quickly give you relief.
Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures—similar to an X-ray "movie."
Joint aspiration refers to removing fluid from the space around a joint—usually the knee—using a needle and syringe.
Knee ligament repair is used when a knee ligament is torn and results in instability in the knee.

"I loved the variety of presentations on CAPD! I feel like I have learned an extraordinary amount in a relatively short period of time that I can apply to my every day practice."
That was what we heard from one of our attendees when we originally ran this online conference in October.
Then we heard more accolades, like:
"The breadth and depth of the presenters, their experience, and contribution to the science of CAPD diagnosis and management was incredible."
"I'm able to go back to work and apply all that I learned from this conference."
"Best CAPD conference I've attended in years!"
After reviews like these, we had to repeat this online conference. It's perfect for audiologists and SLPs who want to use the latest research to help their clients with CAPD.

Beginning on November 19th BoG will be opened to all guests along with previews to the bulk of the attractions. The official Grand Opening still is targeted for December 6th but it does appear that with the AP special preview earlier in the month, non AP guests will have some opportunities to visit FLE from November 19th on.
It is rumored that to coincide with the AP Preview dates BoG will go into soft openings to prepare Cast Members for BoG's Opening on November 19th. So if you are going to be in the parks prior to November 19th be on the look out for sporadic BoG soft openings.

I posted a video of the ride from last night's Halloween party. Fantasyland is in "dress rehearsal" periodically this week only and we got to walk onto the ride last night and it was amazing. My youtube channel name is cindymouse6. I don't know how to find the URL and post it... so go browse. It was stunning. the video doesnt do the ride justice! My girls giggled all the way thru the ride!

30+ visits and still adding them on!

If this is similar to the one at DCA than I'll say it's nothing earth shattering but it's a cute ride. Little kids especially girls will love it.

From the Publisher
"Bauman on a bad day is still far more stimulating than most contemporary social thinkers. He is the Georg Simmel of our age, and his books and essays will be read when contemporary exponents of social arithmetic are long forgotten."Times Higher Education Supplement
"Liquid Modernity is Zygmunt Bauman's term for the present condition of the world as contrasted with the 'solid' modernity that preceded it ... He is a vivid and original writer with an eye for the revealing personal experience.'
Dennis Wrong, Times Literary Supplement
"Zygmunt Bauman can be counted among those giants of sociology - C. Wright Mills, -mile Durkheim, Max Weber - who are bound together not by a shared ideological or disciplinary alignment, but by a profound and moral passion. I do not employ the term "moral" in the commonly used sense of "judgmental", but to describe their ability to define the spirit of the age, to ask cutting questions about society's direction, warn of dangers and perceive opportunities."
Contemporary Politics
"These books mark an important advance in Bauman's project. He seems to be trying to bring the intellectuals back into the game, twitting them for their passivity. Bauman wants social critics to take a more active role, taking a lead by showing how the relationships between individuals and society and between the private and public spheres may be rearticulated and the spirit of the agora restored to social and political life."
British Journal of Sociology
"His work is essential reading for those political theorist who feel that part of their task is to elaborate relevant and compelling normative critique."
Contemporary Political Theory
"Bauman lucidly depicts what others call the 'postmodern situation' a term that he painstakingly avoids, and his analysis is important for anyone interested in cultural criticism"
Caterina Norlin-Brage, Religious Studies Review
"One of post-modernity's great commentators."
Pete Ward, Church Times


text: Axwell's got a huge hit on his hands, even if parts of this video feel like Carlsberg commercials. We're suckers for stories that get weaved into our EDM entertainment, and we can't help but get drawn in to the visuals that were crafted for this video, which gets told a bit more vividly in the "Where's the Party?" campaign. Speaking of which, if you're going to be at the Swedish Maritime Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, you can join 8,999 other ravers at the massive "Where's the Party" event going down on August 31. "Center of the Universe" is out now.

This Moment - A Friday (or weeklong) ritual. A single photo - no words (or maybe a single sentence)- capturing a moment from the week. Perhaps a simple, special, extraordinary moment. Maybe a moment you want to pause, savor and remember. Maybe something that made you smile or laugh. Maybe a craft you are enjoying working on.... If you're inspired, share your 'moment' with us. |

My baby is growing up! |
NO BOOTS IN THE LIVINGROOM SARAH! What a doll though.... I love polka dots! Are your walls the same color as The Salon??? |
Her boots were brand new, GB :) She bought them with some Christmas money. My walls were painted first...I'm a trendsetter, what can I say? I love the "This moment" threads...is your picture the body of something larger? I am always so envious of your knitting skills. |
I'll post the results soon Saucy. I completed the "hoodie" this morning, but it is being blocked now...which means it must dry before the photo shoot. As to skills, they are very basic, so I search for simple patterns and fancy variegated yarn to make them look more complex. ;) |
NO! Much "greener". And much more in keeping with Saucy's kitchen. |
Greener indeed! Don't recall Saucy's kitchen. Photo? |
Close, very close! (it was tough to find a picture of the kitchen...) |
Great minds think alike, eh? (I'd forgotten the color of your kitchen when I picked the color for the Salon). Who's that little kid on the left?? :) |

We were drawn to this forum because of our mutual interests, but we really are quite diverse aren't we? I love seeing these glimpses of your lives. I actually have a few plants that are thriving under lights. |
Here you go... |
Wow GB! I'm always impressed! If I could do that... |

Stephan Pyles
Ste. 200
Dallas, TX, 75201, United States
Located in the Arts District, Stephan Pyles derives its name from its chef, Esquire Magazine's 2006 Chef of the Year and the "father of Southwestern cuisine." The walls of the dining room feature terra-cotta bricks from the original 1963 building, as well as artwork from local Dallas artists, but the glass-enclosed open kitchen is the real focal point. Light appetizers like mini-BLT's (made with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, and pig's belly) provide a counterpoint to hearty main courses like grass-fed, Texas beef tenderloin with cocktail crab legs.
Insider Tip:
The restaurant's 20-seat communal table is ideal for a quick bite to eat or a meal without a reservation, but it can also be reserved for family-style dining.
