Grafting Tomatoes
-December 14, 2012
I was encouraged, after listening to Elizabeth Howley in MG training last year, to try my hand at tomato grafting. She directed us to the WSU Mt Vernon website on Vegetable Research. The site is loaded with grafting information. This fall, soon after I had everything harvested, I set a flat of left over tomato seeds out to sprout in the greenhouse and I've been practicing on the unsuspecting little plants. Much to my surprise, it isn't as scary as I had imagined. Now I'm heartened and ready to try the more expensive grafts, that of my heirlooms to grafting stock. I've decided to try a grafting stock seed that is only 34 cents per seed, however I have to buy 50 seeds and I don't really have any reason to produce so many tomato plants. If anyone else is curious let me know and maybe we can share an order. I've selected Rootstock RST-04-106-T sold by Neseeds but I might be convinced to try other rootstocks if someone wants to make the argument for a "better" choice.

Yep That's Peanuts Charlie Brown!
-December 13, 2012
I attempted to grow peanuts for many years but was never successful. I couldn't even get them to come up in my garden. I suppose Gurney's Seeds was happy but I was very disappointed.
Several years ago another Master Gardener, Robert Hammond, planted peanut starts in the Demo Garden. A brilliant light went off in my head. They needed help getting started. So the next year I tried the same thing in my garden. I started the plants early and got some nice plants but only harvested a half a dozen peanuts off of 14 plants. I also discovered that because I had been planting directly into the garden I was supplying a seed feast for birds and mice.
That Winter I read an article in Mother Earth News on how to raise sweet potatoes in cooler climates. The idea was to lay clear plastic on the ground and plant your sweet potatoes under the plastic by cutting holes in the plastic after the ground had warmed sufficiently. Sweet potatoes grow well when the ground temperature is over 80 degrees and better if it is closer to 100 degrees. I tried it. I inserted the plants under the plastic by cutting an X in the plastic, planting the start and then covering the X with sand to allow water to drain into the ground. By inhibiting water from evaporating, less water was required. If the plant is in a slight depression, the plastic will channel the water to the plant so that very little water is required.
I decided that maybe if I combined the two ideas, to start the peanuts early and warm the ground with clear plastic, I might be more successful. Once my peanuts sprouted and were well established in my greenhouse I took the tray covers off. Two days later the mice got in and ate or killed them all. I restarted the starts and finally was able to plant them in the warm bed waiting for them at the Demo Garden.
By late August the plants were looking good. Normally they should be harvested in September but because of the late start I let them go until mid-October before harvesting. After picking and drying overnight in a food drier at 95 degrees I had just over 4 ounces of peanuts from nine plants. If I could have used the first starts there would have been an extra six to eight weeks of warm weather and the crop would have been much better. After being so close to a successful harvest, I have to try again next year. I plan to add a bit more protection from the mice and see what a full season can produce.

After 20 years playing bass in bands and studio sessions; jazz, jazz fusion, rock, folk-alternative rock, jazz-rock, funk, and R&B, I settled down to focus on composing and recording music in the studio, playing guitar, bass, keyboard synthesizer, and some percussion. My musical styles cover a broad spectrum. I enjoy stretching myself and experimenting with different styles like cinematic, new age, surf, house, chill.
I also create audio beds for artistic instructional DVDs.

"The Morning Briefing" is SmartPlanet's daily roundup of must-reads from the web. This morning we're reading about mobile spectrum.
1.) FCC to review how it measures competition. The Federal Communications Commission could overhaul the way it measures competition in the wireless industry.
2.) T-Mobile: We'll prove shared 1755-1780 MHz band can be auctioned. T-Mobile USA expects that its tests of spectrum sharing in the 1755-1780 MHz band will open up the frequencies for pairing with the existing AWS-3 band for eventual auction long before all government entities are cleared from the spectrum, according to a company executive.
3.) Spectrum, mobility, security remain top issues for DOD networks. The importance of these networks, their size and their complexity present unprecedented challenges for managing, maintaining and defending them from attack.
4.) Mobile future infographic puts spectrum crunch in perspective.

Jun 24th 2008 1:47PM Spellstrike is better if your not spell hit capped. Battlecast is nice for the superior stats 2 sockets on the helm and loads of spell damage. You thought to include a green in the list why not something vastly better?
Mana-etched Shoulders are not sub-par by any means. Healthy Stam, Intel, and Spirit. Shadow Word: Death is nice but only counts when you have the hit points to live through one. It at the very least, deserves a mention.
MP5 on shoulders is also not a wasted stat. More MP5 = more DPS which = more mana which = more DPS.
There are a lot of other decent options that were not mentioned.

Jun 24th 2008 1:21PM I'm pretty disappointed in this article. It was half-done at best. You completely skipped Battlecasthood and pants, denounced the Scryer +crit enchant but didn't mention the +mp5 one available at honored and totally skipped on some easy quest cloaks that are available. For shoulders you skipped the drops from Black Morass and Arcatraz (off the first boss none the less). Not to make you feel bad but if you want to know the proper way to write this article, take a look at Rossi's Care and feeding of warriors KZ post. That is a complete guide with excellent suggestions.

Opening a dialog about sexism in World of Warcraft {WoW}
Feb 11th 2008 1:31PM Forgive me, this is gonna sound so sexist but please don't take it that way.
"Women are often important contributing members of guilds and raids."
Since when did WoW Insider become a Women's Lib blog?
To imply that women are "important contributing" more then a man is being counter productive to your argument. I disagree that any one sex, male or female, is more or less important to a guild/group/raid.
I can understand if it upsets you that a guy treats you in an inappropriate manner that you would be upset and outraged. However, making your blog into a support column for a overrated book such as the one you listed above is unforgivable.
You cry for equality, yet you post the same 30+ year old rhetoric.
It's a game. People piss people off. Male to male, female to male, male to female, even the rare female to female. It's the way it's been, in and out of games, for years.
Stretching yourself too thin? {WoW}
Jan 8th 2008 10:35AM Matthew,
Also being a Matthew in RL, I have to say I always enjoy your articles due to fabulous writing and topics that are easy to relate too.
I have the same issue as described. I have 4 alliance 70's on SoE (Sister's of Elune) and was a Guild Leader for over 2 years. Making a lot of friends in the process, some even in RL. After a frustrating,disastrous merger, I decided to try horde side on the same server. It just so happens I chose a Fury warrior to level. I was managing to keep up with your articles about leveling a warrior as you posted them and they helped a great deal. I made a tough choice to leave my friends, which most either message me or hop Horde side to beg for heals/tankage/DPS. I found focusing on one character to be refreshing. So now on horde side, if they need a tank they come to me and I'm not switching toons back and forth.

MENA Mashup: Eternal War, Libya, Iran, And, Syria
2:01 pm in Uncategorized by CTuttle
(Phyllis Bennis is a superstar…!)
Thursday, the US State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism released it's annual Country Reports on Terrorism 2012, from Chapter 2 Country Reports: The Middle East and North Africa Overview…
The Near East region continued to experience significant levels of terrorist activity in 2012, further complicated by ongoing regional instability across portions of North Africa and the Levant. Al-Qa'ida was not a part of the popular uprisings that led to democratic transitions across the Middle East and North Africa, but violent extremists looked for opportunities to exploit the political transitions underway.
In Libya, the security vacuum in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution provided more opportunities for terrorists to operate. This vacuum, combined with the weakness of Libya's nascent security institutions, allowed violent extremists to act, as we saw too clearly on September 11 in Benghazi, when J. Christopher Stevens, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, and three staff members, died during attacks on U.S. facilities.
Al-Qa'ida in Iraq (AQI) – even with diminished leadership and capabilities – continued to conduct attacks across Iraq, while Shia militants largely ceased attacks but continued to threaten U.S. targets in Iraq. AQI also took advantage of a significantly depleted security situation in Syria. Operating under its alias, al-Nusrah Front, the group sought to portray itself as part of the legitimate Syrian opposition and attempted to hijack Syria's struggle for democracy. The United States designated al-Nusra as an alias of AQI in December 2012.
Al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has also taken advantage of the instability in the region, particularly in Libya and Mali. Kidnapping for ransom operations continued to yield significant sums for AQIM, and it conducted attacks against members of state security services within the Trans-Sahara region.
In the spring of 2012, a Yemeni military offensive, with the help of armed residents, regained government control over territory in the south, which AQAP had seized and occupied in 2011. Although weakened, AQAP was not eliminated as a threat. AQAP increasingly turned to asymmetric tactics to target Yemeni government officials, pro-government tribal militias known as Popular Committees, and their leaders, soldiers, civilians, and U.S. embassy personnel.
In 2012, there was a clear resurgence of Iran's state sponsorship of terrorism, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), its Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and Tehran's ally Hizballah, who remained a significant threat to the stability of Lebanon and the broader region. Attacks in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Far East were linked to the IRGC-QF or Hizballah. In fact, Hizballah's terrorist activity has reached a tempo unseen since the 1990s with attacks plotted in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Despite these persistent threats, governments across the region improved their own counterterrorism capabilities, effectively disrupting the activities of a number of terrorists. The Iraqi government displayed increased capability and efficacy in pursuing multiple Sunni violent extremist groups. Though AQIM's presence and activity in the Sahel and parts of the Maghreb remains worrisome, the group's isolation in Algeria grew as Algeria increased its already substantial efforts to target it. And in 2012, Yemeni forces were successful in reducing the physical territory that AQAP had previously gained in Yemen as the result of political turmoil…
Notably absent from their MENA assessment for 2012, is Syria…! Fancy that…!
Now, let's look more closely at our Libyan fiasco…
Libya: Overview: In 2012, Libya was marked by grave insecurity, most apparent in the September 11 terrorist attack that resulted in the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three staff members. The prevalence of loose weapons, the continued ability of extra-governmental militias to act with impunity, the country's porous borders, and the lack of government capacity to apply the rule of law outside of Tripoli contributed to this insecurity.
Despite these challenges, on July 7, the Transitional National Council peacefully transferred power to a new, democratically elected parliament, the General National Congress. Prime Minister Ali Zeidan and his cabinet have prioritized efforts to strengthen and centralize national security institutions, integrate and disarm armed militias, and confront criminal and terrorist groups that have taken advantage of the security vacuum. This government has recognized that continued instability threatens Libya's democratic transition and economic future.
The United States remains committed to Libya's democratic transition and focused on Libya's insecurity and the need to support Libya's government in its efforts to address it. The State Department and USAID have provided funding to implementers who support Libya's emerging civil society, advised Libya's new political leaders, and empowered minority communities as they seek to understand and participate in the democratic transition, particularly the drafting of a constitution that denounces violence and ensures the rights of all Libyans.
Let's not forget that this is a State Report, reporting only on the Snafu from last year, and not a compilation of this year's foreign f*ckery in the MENA…!
So, let's update it a tad…
Libya becomes 'the new Mali' as Islamists shift in Sahara
…Regional rivalries are aggravating the problem for Paris and its Western allies, with a lack of cooperation between Saharan countries helping militants to melt away when they come under pressure and regroup in quieter parts of the vast desert.
Security officials say lawless southern Libya has become the latest haven for al Qaeda-linked fighters after French-led forces drove them from strongholds in northern Mali this year, killing hundreds.
"The south of Libya is what the north of Mali was like before," said a senior adviser to Mali's interim President Diouncounda Traore, asking not to be named…
…But the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 flooded the Sahara with pillaged weapons and ammunition. Tuareg separatists used them to seize power in northern Mali, only to be ousted by even better-armed Islamists who set up training camps and imposed harsh Islamic law until the French forces arrived.
The Islamists have also exploited Libya's weakness. Veteran al Qaeda commander Moktar Belmokhtar bought weapons there after Gaddafi's fall and his fighters passed through southern Libya to carry out a mass hostage-taking at an Algerian gas plant in January, in which 37 foreigners died…
Now, Iran quickly rejected the report…
Tehran says U.S., not Iran, sponsors terrorism
Iran on Friday rejected a U.S. State Department report that accused Tehran of increasing its support for terrorism overseas to levels not seen for two decades, saying it is the United States that backs terrorists in the Middle East.
"Iran itself has been the victim of state-sponsored terrorism, which has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Iranian people," said Alireza Miryousefi, spokesman for Iran's U.N. mission. "Iran has been actively engaged in counterterrorism activities by all possible means and is a party to many counterterrorism international legal instruments," he said……"It should be mentioned that the U.S. government has no merit to label other nations of sponsoring terrorism as it has a long … record (of) supporting terrorist groups in our region as well as Israeli state terrorism," Miryousefi said.
He cited the recent removal from the U.S. list of terrorist organizations of the Mujahadin-e-Khalq, a dissident group that calls for the overthrow of Iran's Shi'ite Muslim clerical leadership and fought alongside the forces of Iraq's late Sunni Muslim dictator Saddam Hussein in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.
"The recent delisting of the MEK terrorist group … and also allowing it to publicly lobby in Washington is a clear indication that the U.S. government has double standards in dealing with terrorism and uses designation of others as terrorist only to serve its illegitimate political interests," he said…
Speaking of the MEK, translated from Le Figaro…
Two members of the Iranian opposition movement People's Mujahedin were found dead a month ago in the Idlib region in western Syria, says an MEP in contact with the anti rebellion Bashar al-Assad. They fighting alongside insurgents seeking to overthrow the Syrian regime, backed by Iran. Considered by France as a terrorist organization, MKO have a base in Iraq, based in the Paris suburbs. Services to Arab and Western intelligence would use against Iranian interests, or allies of Tehran, as the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
In recent developments on Syria… In spite of McInsane's screeches, Syrian rebels need heavy weapons, I was certainly pleased to read this…
U.S. withholds millions pledged to help Syrian opposition
The United States is withholding $63 million that it had pledged to the main Syrian opposition organization because the Obama administration is frustrated with the group's disarray and is searching for more credible partners to support in the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad, knowledgeable officials said Friday.
The decision not to fund the Syrian Opposition Coalition contrasts sharply with the Obama administration's continued public expressions of confidence in the group, which has been central to U.S. policy on Syria since last fall and which the administration recognizes as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
But U.S. officials said privately that they are fed up with the group's inability to organize, appoint a government-in-exile or reach decisions on a wide range of issues. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity so as to more freely discuss sensitive diplomacy…
More on the Syrian Rebels…
Saudi edges Qatar to control Syrian rebel support
…The outcome, many Syrian opposition leaders hope, could strengthen them in both negotiations and on the battlefield – while hampering some of the anti-Western Islamist hardliners in their ranks whom they say Qatar has been helping with weaponry.
Anger at a failure by one such Qatari-backed Islamist unit in a battle in April that gave Syrian government forces control of a key highway helped galvanise the Saudis, sources said, while Qatari and Islamist efforts to control the opposition political body backfired by angering Riyadh and Western powers.
The northern rebel commander said Saudi leaders would no longer let Qatar take the lead but would themselves take over the dominant role in channelling support into Syria.
"The Saudis met leaders of the Free Syrian Army, including officers from the Military Council in Jordan and Turkey, and have agreed that they will be supporting the rebels," he said after attending one of those meetings himself.
Prince Salman bin Sultan, a senior Saudi security official, was now running relations with the Syrian rebels, backed by his elder brother, intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan.
Qatar also gave ground in the political field, accepting finally, late on Thursday, that the National Coalition should add a non-Islamist bloc backed by Saudi Arabia.
"In the end Qatar did not want a confrontation with Saudi Arabia and accepted the expansion," said a source close to the liberals who were allowed to join a body which the United States and European Union want to become a transitional government.
The rebels, whose disunity has been a hindrance both in the field and in manoeuvring for a possible international peace conference in the coming weeks, still face a huge task to topple Assad, who has long labelled his enemies Islamist "terrorists" and has his own powerful allies abroad, notably Iran and Russia.
What a Clusterf*ck…! *gah*

Wouldn't it be wonderful if an algorithm could be the single answer to your problems? Examples include, Moneyball, a story about simplifying the make up of a championship baseball contender.
Or Match.com with its slogan, "Love is complicated. Match.com is simple." Yet, the path to seeking simple is rarely a straight line of data.
Proponents like Marianne Williamson espouse a simple algorithm - love or fear.
Companies like Buxton Customer Analytics have a warehouse full of servers designed to meet most any request for target marketing. Buxton knows their algorithms alone are only part of the solution. They add consultants to the mix for the human perspective. Time and again, the human element, the x-factor of intuition, insight or experience adds a dimension to quality decision making.
A recently divorced buddy in Austin looked at online dating algorithms as, "The greatest invention ever!" He had every intention of seeking simple.
"Why wouldn't you?" he queries. "Old school dating is completely hit and miss. But put numbers in your favor. First use the algorithm. Then use your gut. Go on seven dates a week. It's like test-driving all the cars on the same lot. You're bound to find one you like. It's a numbers game. A simple time saver. Something that would have taken you months or years to do can be done in less than a month."
As appealing as the data and the logic dictates, it still doesn't replace the human element. Old school match making services across the land still have a matron of connections matching people she believes will resonate with each other. An intuitive clearing-house of seeking simple.
Should you be struggling with a problem, the combination of data and human instinct is the best path. But certainly not guaranteed. Just ask the folks at Research in Motion. The makers of Blackberry have lost 75% revenue in the last year. With all those smart people and such a dominant grip on market share, all the data and executive insight didn't stop the tidal wave of shifting market conditions.
Are you seeking simple? Maybe its as easy as choosing between love or fear. Maybe it's an impossible notion, where nothing is easy. But overcomplicating your decisions can leave your feet in quick drying cement.
Like a pendulum, swing past your objective while keeping your eye on it. Or act like a pioneer headed west. You know where west is. Navigate with the advantages you have at hand – even better if you have a proven algorithm and good intuition – but the best path of all is seeking simple.

I fail to see how this gross stereotyping is better than calling a cigarette a fag. Besides, no self respecting Englishman would say anything like that. I suggest the following;

Important Information >>
DEWALT announces the launch of a completely redesigned 7 1/4-inch Circular Saw (DWE575), one of the lightest circular saws in its class, which will also be offered with an Electric Brake and Kit Bag (DWE575SB). The saw is ideal for framers, concrete formers, general contractors and remodelers who are tasked with completing applications ranging from framing walls to cutting plywood, siding, exterior finishing and more.
Weighing only 8.8 pounds and measuring 7.2 inches in width, the DWE575 is one of the lightest circular saws in its class. Despite its small size, the unit delivers plenty of power to perform some of the most demanding applications with 1,950 Max Watts Out (MWO) and 5,100 revolutions per minute (RPM).
Thanks to an integrated dust blower that cleans the user's line of sight before cutting and high quality gears, the saw provides smooth cutting, high quality performance. The saw also features a 57-degree bevel capacity, with 22.5- and 45-degree detents, and a 2 9/16-inch depth of cut capacity, which is best in class and allows for a variety of applications.
To provide durability, DEWALT incorporated several features into the design of the new circular saw. For instance, a ToughCord™ cord system provides three times more resistance to cord pullouts when compared to circular saws without a ToughCord™ system. Additionally, a ball bearing lower guard designed for long life in jobsite conditions, as well as a heavy-duty aluminum shoe, help make the saw worksite tough. To aid in comfort and balance, the new circular saw features ergonomic handles and trigger actuation.
The kitted version of the saw (DWE575SB) features an electric break that allows for the saw blade to stop after two to three seconds from the time the trigger is released, providing additional safety. This feature allows users to start repetitive cuts faster.
The DWE575 and DWE575SB will be available in the second half of 2012 at home centers and through the independent channel. The DWE575 is expected to retail for approximately $129.00, and the DWE575SB is expected to retail for roughly $139.00. The circular saws will each come with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.

Does anyone know what the cost of a concrete slab would run (by square foot)?
One contractor estimated $4300 for 800 SQF patio. It's far above my budget.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by houseofsticks (My Page) on Thu, Jul 19, 12 at 15:42
Just priced this cheapest price was $8/sqft+ $250 for stamped and colored which is very cheap of up to 380sqft above 380sqft is 6/sqft. It is usually around 12/sqft stamped and colored here but I used to work for a major co and we used them before so I was aware of his price and quality. Near Charlotte NC. just plain old driveway concrete is $3/sq ft from the same co. Check psi and thickness when you get quotes so you know it's apples to apples. |
- Posted by david_cary (My Page) on Sat, Jul 21, 12 at 7:29
So that is pricey for plain jane concrete. Perhaps your contractor is adding 20% for himself.... But would you really want an 800 sqft patio of gray plain concrete? |

Woman Accidentally Posts Naked Pic of Herself on eBay
By The Blemish, Tue, January 15, 2013
An eBayer from Oxfordshire was trying to sell her ASOS skater dress so she did what any discerning user would do. She took a picture of the dress to put up on the site and entered in a starting price of $25. The bids soon catapulted the price to $240,000. Why? Because she accidentally included a nude photo of herself from the waist down in the picture of the dress. This caused a horny hashtag tornado on Twitter.
She later updated the page with a new photo of herself embracing her new fame writing, "#ebayyellowskaterdress as seen by thousands. never worn naked." #ebayyellowskaterdress is your new #YOLO. For today at least. (NSFW image here)

That is a bit over 3/4 inch. (0.80 inch). Sometimes slabs are this thickness, placed on 3/4 substrate and the edges are built up with another piece to create a 1-1/2" edge. It depends somewhat on what kind of edge detail you want. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 11:00
This seems to be the thickness (3/4) of vintage sink countertops I've seen made out of stonem around here. |
Generally, the 2cm stuff should be "supported" underneath. In my area, there is a full layer of plywood that goes down first, then the 2cm thickness stuff goes on top and, yes, the edge is built up to appear to be thicker. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 17:19
I think this is a great idea, kirkhall. I asked the fabricator and he said it's not necessary, but I'll insist on it. |
- Posted by shanghaimom 4 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 21:53
Have a look at Pottery Barn's online vanities. They use 2cm marble tops and some owners say in reviews that they look skimpy. Noticeably thinner than what you usually see, but maybe only for TBO!? |
This post was edited by shanghaimom on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 22:59
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 22:07
Shanghaimom, I may not have a choice. One quote for the 3 cm was outrageous and the other one wasn't large enough to do the vanity without a seam down the center, which I don't want. |
- Posted by shanghaimom (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 22:32
Oh, I just looked up your stone--fabulous!! Showstopper marble. Just have them reinforce, and build the edge profile up, like the others said. |
I have 2 cm because I wanted to be able to use it for the knee wall caps and shower surround/threshhold, too, and it's been perfectly fine. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 22:40
Thanks to both of you! |
2 cm works great for our quartz. We didn't have the edge build up -- needed every bit of space we could have so it didn't interfere with door molding - (long story) - but real reason I'm posting here is that I found some info about trends in bathrooms and learned that in Europe, the trend is for 2 cm without the edge build up, who woulda thought? LOL Also, by the way, my fabricator also said that plywood beneath was not necessary for our quartz so I didn't go that route. Here is what "thin" looks like (and I would have had the buildout edge if I would have had room - oh well): |
quartz is a harder stone than marble. |
threeapples- I was trying to match existing granite in my kitchen, but the only match was 2cm, which was thinner than the existing countertops. When I told my fabricator that I was concerned about the seam in the middle from a built-up edge, he said: "No problem, we'll cut all the pieces at a 45 degree angle and the seams will be along the edges where you can't see them." Take a look at these photos and see what you think: He even showed me samples where he had done this with highly figured marble, and he just matched the cut pieces at the seam line so it looked like the pattern wrapped over the edge and down the sides as if it were a solid 4cm slab. If you can find a fabricator who has the skill to do this properly, it's amazing, and they can give you whatever perceived thickness you want without obvious seams. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Thu, Apr 18, 13 at 8:22
Cool technique, thanks! |
- Posted by athensmomof3 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 20, 13 at 16:31
Ditto the above. My mom used 2 cm thassos marble and had it built up to 3cm in her guest bath as she needed only a small piece and the remnant she found was 2 cm. Looks great and cannot tell at all! |
We used 2 cm White Macaubas without a built-up edge on the perimeter cabinets in our kitchen. I wanted something modern and liked the look in pictures of European kitchens. Our cabinet maker built our base cabinets with solid tops, rather than the usual separate sheet of plywood on top of the cabinets, since there is not a built-up edge to hide the plywood. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Mon, Apr 22, 13 at 21:17
thanks, kaysd. our fabricator insists we do not need a plywood base. our builder has offered to put some wood in to support the marble. i'll see what they say when i bring it up again. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Tue, Apr 23, 13 at 11:41
Good news--the supplier got it in 3 cm for us so no worries there. |

Cheap flights to Dubrovnik are fast becoming a firm favourite with hip, culturally-savvy young Brits who are used to going the extra mile to be the first in the know about the hottest places to eat, drink and shop.
Over the last few years, Dubrovnik has become something of a hidden gem when it comes to shopping for one-off items, vintage clothing and arty little nick-nacks that simply aren't found elsewhere.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My entree choices would not fit in the space that was provided. I also needed a change made after I submitted my order. They were extremely quick with making the changes and customizing my order. I was also given excellent customer service. My order was delivered a week after it was placed!"
"I have already received compliments on how beautiful this and my matching invitations are from close friends and family that I have shared the invites and response cards with, as we haven't sent them out yet. But I am completely happy with how they turned out and I can't wait for everyone else to see them!"
"Very much the same as my review of the invitation cards: high-quality printing and paper (especially the "white shimmer" paper option), gorgeous and expensive-looking foil stamping, and a vintage-luxury feel overall. Will definitely impress your wedding invitees! The WPD staff were incredibly helpful in assisting with our font/word choice/layout selections, and we received our order 5 days early. So pleased with the finished product and would definitely recommend!!"
"these invitations/response cards are BEAUTIFUL! we are having an outdoor, on-religious, lakeside ceremony then indoor reception, so not super fancy and i think the "petal cluster" line was the best choice for us and stood out among the other samples we had received. We were able to customize everything which was a huge plus. we chose meadow and navy for the blooms and grey for the text, it matches or wedding perfectly. the colors really pop against the white background and the quality is phenomenal. the standard textured paper is higher quality than what the other companies make you pay extra for, too. WPD also allowed us to add an extra line for a song request line! We are really happy with how they turned out and can't wait to send them to our families and friends!"
"I am very happy with this RSVP card. It is very pretty and the colors are great. I took off the entree lines and add a line for dietary restrictions."

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

I felt blast as rockets hit homes of Israelis
THE Sun yesterday came under Hamas rocket attack close to the Gaza border — and experienced first hand the horror which sparked Israel's bloody invasion.
Three of the terror group's lethal Qassam rockets streaked into the centre of Sderot moments after I arrived there. I felt the shockwave as two homes were reduced to smoking rubble.

Mirror's Edge 2 isn't not a possibility more than ever {Joystiq}
Oct 8th 2011 2:31PM If a Mirror's Edge 2 ever comes out, it's going to suck.
The original was too niche. Mirror's Edge 2 is going mainstream. It's going to star a sexy female assassin. There's going to be "intense melee combat" and "bloody sniper kills". There are going to be "lethal stealth takedowns". Occasionally the player character will jump across a rooftop or climb across a pipe, to remind everyone of the original game.
Ready Check: Handling raid drama {WoW}
Oct 7th 2011 6:28PM Here's an alternative to reading tons of advice posts on the internet to figure out how to run your raids: Run a serious guild with zero tolerance for bads.
Friendship has no place in WoW if you have a good social life outside of the game. Find good players, make it understood that too many mistakes get you kicked, and proceed to dominate the endgame. If people want to make friends with their guildmates, they need to do it on their own time and not the guild's. And if any of those relationships interfere in any way with raiding, everyone involved should be kicked and quickly replaced so progress can continue.
Time is precious and WoW is a video game like any other. No one would tolerate having to idle for an hour in Fallout: New Vegas or Mass Effect, waiting for two NPCs to finish settling their personal drama so they could finally carry on with the game. I don't see why WoW needs to be the exception. Bring the player, not the beautiful little social snowflake.

One Question...
You must be logged in to reply.
So what I don't understand is we've lost our keys but all the supplies to "rescue" the keys are in the car. Where's the line in the write-up that says "Honey, I'm gonna have to break a window since the car is locked."
Which reminds me, I have to hide a key on my car for just this type of scenario!

An idea for your next Make: festival. Get a pile of rocks/boulders deliver and then have them placed with a cavern type thing (as told in the story (but maybe not the same depth)) and drop a set of keys and make it a challenge for people to try and get the keys out and have the same stuff (eg: car(maybe a second hand car or something), pick ect) there so its close to the story as possible.Posted by p858snake on October 01, 2007 at 20:35:12 Pacific Time
Electromagnets vs speaker magnets
You must be logged in to reply.
Having tried to build a few electromagnets in my time, I think you are nuts to prefer that approach over try to use a magnet from the speaker.
The speaker magnets are designed to have a large magnetic field in a small size - exactly what you want.
Whereas trying to create an electromagnet that performs well is tough. It will either not be strong enough, use too much power, or melt your wire. And if it turns off at the right time, you're SOLPosted by EricGu on October 01, 2007 at 16:21:50 Pacific Time

Flaws with this approach:
You wouldn't be able to use barbed wire, as its not got a coating on it. You could make a coil with it, but it would be a dead short and produce no current, UNLESS you put something around it to insulate. You could try to only make a few loops in the coil and have them seperated, but then it would be weak. The wire needs to be insulated. Also the coil needs a core, or its going to be pretty weak. I guess you mentioned a stainless steal knife, but not all types have good magnetic properties. A wrench or something with more pure iron would be best.
The wire in the metal detector is pretty fine wire, and without something to limit the current, would almost certainly melt, just like overloading a subwoofer, the coil melts. You need larger gauge wire that could handle the current. Also, there is n
Plus, on SUV's, most of them anyway, you need a socket set to remove the battery and battery terminals.
As far as stainless being magnetic, it depends on if its just straight stainless steal, or if its got chrome on it. Straight Nickel and steel to make stainless has very low magnetic ability. When you add chromium, it adds some of that back. Inneficient but it will work.Posted by Frodus on October 01, 2007 at 12:02:09 Pacific Time
Stainless Steel

Actually, stainless steel does NOT stick to magnets -- but most knife blades are not made of stainless, because it doesn't hold an edge as well as it might.Posted by EdwinWiseOne on October 01, 2007 at 09:11:14 Pacific Time

This floor is fantastic. You are a POWERHOUSE DIYer! Awesome job. |
Thanks you guys. It was a big project for me. I have never tiled a floor before and never used Spectralock epoxy. I had yesterday and today off from work. Yesterday I insisted my DH stick around while I did this in case I needed his help. Right away as I was stirring with my margin trowel (he just got on the phone) I started yelling for his help to stir. I hadn't got out the monster stirrer that I use for thinset, the only stirrer I have. I figured how hard could it be to stir the gallon of grout? Grateful he was there, he helped me finish the stirring. I then commenced grouting, with a lot of grunting. Every once in a while he would call from the next room saying that it must be hard work as he could hear me working hard. I didn't realize until close to the end of the 50sqft just how tired I was getting. One thing I did, because I new that I could be short of grout, was to not grout in a few hidden areas that could wait for another application down the road, such as the grouting of the toilet cut out, and underneath the areas where the cabinets will go. In the end I was able to go back and fill in where the cabinets will go. I also initially ask my DH to get a ziplock baggie so I could put in about 1/2 cup of grout and store in the freezer. That went in to the freezer yesterday as I was grouting and I just now broke off a few pieces to fill in a couple spots that were depressed from my fingers or toes as I was cleaning the joints and tiles yesterday. Today I have about 8 spots I am filling with this frozen batch. I just did the "initial wash" with a few cups of H20 which had a couple tablespoons of white vinegar added. So far so good. The company doesn't recommend freezing their product but there are several tilers on the JB forum that have done this successfully. If it shells off over the years it will be no big deal as it was corrections on barely noticeable divots. |
Axxis Rose, the tub is a Kohler Bellwether, the new version that came out this year. It is of standard dimensions. The original model is not standard, and while it looks like this one from the outside, it is configured differently on the inside. The old one is also taller. This one is 14", too shallow for a lot of folks but perfect for getting kids and dogs in and out. |
Enduring, that looks really great. What a beauteous floor! I predict you will like the epoxy grout. Nice going! |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Fri, Nov 9, 12 at 22:55
great looking floor! |
It looks so good!!! |
I love this epoxy already! Thanks Angie, Desersteph, and cat_mom for the complements, it was a GW team effort, that is for sure. |
enduring, I've heard a lot about the herring bone pattern taking more tile and also taking more labor. The guy that did my herringbone in my kitchen seemed to indicate it was no big deal. He was going to charge me the same either way. (I think he may have wanted to do the herringbone plank porcelain floor because he likes to do different things.) Would you say a job doing herringbone takes more labor and tile? i.e. do you think a contractor is justified in charging more for the Herringbone? than for a staggered subway pattern for example? Just curious. |
- Posted by shanghaimom (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 22:08
My all-time favorite floor on GW. |
I love it, enduring. |
Glad you reset the links. I love your floor! |
Great job , love the grout colour . |
elphaba, yes I do think it takes more attention to install. Though at the point I did this floor my only other tile job was my herringbone backsplash that I had done the year before in the kitchen. So I am only guessing that it is more labor intensive. I was cutting my teeth tiling with the herringbone pattern, so who knows. shanghaimom, no way, really? Thank you so much. Pipdog, thanks for the love encore! Divodiva, glad the pictures were described in my original post so I could find them again. Lillo, thanks for the complement, that grout color is an age old family secrete recipe ;) No, its one part Silvershadow and 3 parts Platinum. Laticrete colors in the epoxy grout. |
