For Outage Calls: (800) 264-7362 or (765) 342-3344
Severe weather such as snow, ice, and heavy winds mean possible widespread power outages and tree damage. Make sure your home is prepared. Please use the emergency links below to assist you:
If you or someone you know uses life-support equipment that requires electricity to operate, identify a location with emergency power capabilities and make plans to go there or to a hospital during a prolonged outage. Because members who use life-support equipment are spread throughout all parts of our service area, providing restoration priority to these members when there are extensive power outages is not possible. It is important that members who use life-support equipment or their caregivers take responsibility to make arrangements ahead of time to prepare for potentially long-lasting interruptions in service. You may want to ask a relative or friend who has power if you can stay with them. Another option is to research whether or not a portable generator is appropriate for your situation. Members who experience medical distress due to a power outage should seek medical assistance.
When reporting the power outage, please provide your name, address, telephone number and account number.
Power supply occurrences that were unnoticed years ago are reported today by the many electronic devices all around us. Before digital clocks, we never noticed these "blinks." Now these events seem to happen all the time. They are not more frequent, but we are more aware of them.
It might surprise you to know that most power quality problems begin right in the home or business. A spike (a.k.a. transient surge) may occur in the building's wiring when electric motors, like those on the refrigerator or air conditioner, start up. Other problems may come from faulty wiring, loose connections, poor grounding and inadequate wire size. These conditions can cause voltage drops, momentary outages (blinks), or electrical noise.
Many times, having the power blink is better than the alternative—having it go out completely. Blinks are sometimes caused by devices designed to protect the electrical system. These devices are called "reclosers." Reclosers essentially act like the circuit breakers in your home, with one major difference—they reset themselves after "breaking" the circuit. The intent is that a tree touching the line, or other problem, will cause the recloser to open. The device will reset itself, and power will once again flow down the line.
If the problem has cleared the line, power will stay on. If the problem still exists, the recloser will operate again. After trying three times, most reclosers are designed to stay open until the problem is fixed and the device is manually reset. The opening and closing of the recloser is almost instantaneous and is often not even noticed. The alternative to using reclosers is to use fuses on each line. While greater use of fuses would result in fewer blinks, it would also create more outages.
SCI REMC is constantly evaluating our power lines to identify potential blink-causing problems so that we can take preventative measures. While we may not be able to prevent all blinks, please let us know if your home or business experiences an excessive number of them.

From The Third Reich: A New History by Michael Burleigh: Following prompting from exiled governments, whose citizens had suffered the most grievously under Nazi occupation, general Allied intentions to hold war crimes trials had been announced after the September 1943 Moscow foreign minister's conference. The intention was to use national jurisdictions, except in the case of those 'whose offences have no particular geographical localization.' At Tehran, Stalin had aired a desire to shoot fifty thousand German officers, which prompted Churchill to walk out in disgust. Ironically, at the time Churchill was initiating plans for the summary execution of around a hundred leading Nazis who were to be declared international outlaws. By the time they met at Yalta, Stalin had come round to the idea of trials, which the Soviets had been conducting since 1943, a policy which the British fell in with at San Francisco in April 1945. American experts in prosecuting stock-exchange fraud played a key role in charging leading Nazis with conspiracy to commit aggression and in pursuing criminal organizations.
Both the British and the Americans had considerable reservations about working with the deputy president of the Soviet Supreme Court, Ion Nikitchenko, who had presided over the 1935 Moscow show trials. Twenty-two leading civilian and military leaders, including representatives of six organizations, were arraigned on four counts, which included conspiracy to wage aggressive war, crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. These last charges excluded crimes committed against the German people, of which there had been many. Eleven men were sentenced to death, and were hanged at dawn (sic) on October 6 1946. Their corpses were photographed, to prove that they were really dead. Four were acquitted, including Neurath and Papen, while the remainder received long terms of imprisonment.
The presence of Soviet prosecutors and judges was not without ironies, in a context dealing with either mass murder or aggression, considering efforts having to be made to prevent the defendants from introducing the secret protocols of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, or the matter of responsibility for the Katyan massacres, which the Soviets insisted on including in the proceedings, against the advice of their democratic colleagues. The Nuremberg Trials were conducted fairly, and the guilt of those sentenced was incontestable, even in terms of laws extant in Germany itself throughout the entire Nazi period.

From The Course of My Life by Edward Heath: I looked towards the dock. In two rows they sat: Goring, reduced to wearing a plain, ill-fitting grey uniform�no medals now�alert and attentive, vigorously nodding his head in agreement or shaking it in denial; Hess, with his pale pinched face; von Ribbentrop, always busy writing notes; Keitel and Jodi, the soldiers, staring silently and sullenly ahead; Schacht, the businessman, whose relationship with the Nazis had been more turbulent, and who had distaste etched into his face at having to sit in public with such unpleasant people; von Papen and von Neurath, politicians both but still the diplomats, polished and immaculate. These all stood out. But how unimpressive were Seyss-Inquart, who had betrayed Austria and ruled occupied Holland; Rosenberg and Fritsche, the propagandists; and von Schirach, formerly a fanatical and dangerous young zealot, but now a visibly broken man. For a time, the whole free world had quaked before these men.
Ultimately, however, they had brought not glory, but ruin and misery, to their own land and its people. We had lived in their shadow for a decade, but now history was free to deliver a final verdict upon them. When the court adjourned for a quarter of an hour, I saw the Nazi leaders arguing heatedly among themselves about the evidence they had heard: evidence which had been gathered from every corner of Europe, from the Chancelleries and concentration camps, from the occupied countries and from Germany itself, of how the Nazis plunged the world into war, led Germany to its undoing and brought themselves, at last, into the dock in that Court House in Nuremberg.From Nurembeg: A Nation on Trial by Werner Maser, translated by Richard Barry: Despite all the criticism made of it in 1945 the Nuremberg Trial was essential and not only for the future of mankind. Before it the great developments in world politics had been personified by the men who became the wartime leaders - Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. These developments ended in the Second World War and were the subject of the victors' proceedings in Nuremberg. The very different ends which these men met was not unconnected with Nuremberg and its preparation from 1941 onwards. Hitler committed suicide in 1945. Mussolini had been shot without trial by his political opponents shortly before. The other leading figures of this period of history, though in some cases no less incriminated than Hitler and Mussolini, died in their beds as honored statesmen. If the problem revolved solely round these men as individuals and round the major war criminals sentenced in Nuremberg in 1946 as violators of international law, then the historian would merely be able to take note with some detachment of the double standards by which these men were judged.
But the historian cannot remain detached, not because of the fate of these men but because the authority of international law is still being flouted by statesmen, politicians and military men. Since Nuremberg and Tokyo the historian invariably feels himself bound to take up the cudgels on behalf of international law in face of the attitude of politicians who are the people least prepared to learn from history. The victors of 1945 took a revolutionary step and the historian must accept it. Nuremberg having happened, however, it is now the responsibility, not only of the victors of that time but even more of their heirs and of every other nation, to show, by their attitude to international law, what value history is to place on the victors' tribunal.The defendants were given IQ tests prior to the opening of the trial. Administered by Dr. Gilbert, the Nuremberg Prison psychologist, and Dr. Kelly, the psychiatrist, they consisted of ink blots and the Wechsler-Bellevue test. Note: After the testing, Gilbert comes to the conclusion that all the defendants are 'intelligent enough to have known better.' Colonal Andrus, the Nuremberg Prison Warden, is not impressed by the results: 'From what I've seen of them as intellects and characters I wouldn't let one of these supermen be a buck sergeant in my outfit.'Hermann Wilhelm Goering (138)

The New and the Old Worlds collide at Villa-O, creating a modern cuisine that draws inspiration from Italy's Amalfi Coast. Beginning with imported semolina flour and purified water, the chefs fashion each strand and tube of pasta before frying them in a wok, which lends a distinctive touch to the restaurant's otherwise familiar pasta dishes. Organic, locally sourced produce, free-range meats, and telekinetically delivered seafood show how the restaurant updates traditional Italian dishes by introducing contemporary flair.
Italian-born chef Vincenzo Indelicato remained true to his Sicilian culinary school training when designing Villa-O's menu. In addition to traditional, Neapolitan-style pizzas loaded with imported pepperoni or housemade sausage and baked in a wood-burning oven, the selection includes a handful of dishes that depart from the norm, such as the portobello mushroom fries that D Magazine hailed as "addictive." The restaurant's wine list is equally eclectic, featuring bottles from throughout the world (though emphasizing the vineyards of Italy and California).
The main dining room surrounds its polished teak tables with modern white chairs and, according to Gayot, uses its "open floor plan with shiny mahogany, serene blue hues and nautical prints to create a veil of vacation." A sense of Mediterranean escapism does seem prevalent at Villa-O. Chrome and cerulean stools line the bar, which gleams in the natural light that streams through the front wall's floor-to-ceiling windows. To get a bit closer to the sunshine, diners can grab a table on the shady patio and enjoy their meal while relaxing on a plush sofa or in a teak rocking chair.
The Pizza Guy deems dough ready to metamorphose into pizza only after it sits for 48 hours, affording yeast ample time to produce a rich taste and texture. During its 14 years in business, the eatery's allegiance to delivering high-quality pies has touched all layers of its Italian assemblage, from the Stanislaus tomato sauce that glazes the crust to the Grande cheese sprinkled thereupon. In addition to jumbo hot wings, the menu delineates 11 specialty pies, including the Hawaiian and the spinach alfredo. Diners can also design their own pizzas by pulling from more than 20 toppings and thick, thin, or hand-tossed crusts. The Pizza Guy delivers, preps pies for carryout, or keeps them shrink-wrapped in pans so customers can take them home and give a jaded Easy-Bake Oven something to savor.
Domino's has been decorating dough canvases with flavorful sauces, an assortment of cheeses, and high-quality toppings that range from classic to unconventional since 1960. Domino's dough is tossed daily and stretched by human hands, not by clumsy catapults and model airplanes flying in opposite directions. Treat friends to a tasteful feast by checking the online menu and crafting a custom masterpizza with Domino's wide range of ingredients. Famished diners too starved to choose their own toppings can select from Domino's American Legends, featuring signature flavors from throughout the land. Pizzas such as the Pacific Veggie, Honolulu Hawaiian, or Wisconsin 6 Cheese impart all the delicious diversity of a road trip without the hassle of decoding an atlas. Nonpizza fare includes pastas, sandwiches, and breadsticks.
Greenville Avenue Pizza Company stays open late seven days a week, folding and tossing specialty pizzas, wings, and calzones. A monthly wing-eating contest tests the stomach's limits and taste buds' patience by making them work overtime, though the reward is in each bite; wings can be coated in any of the pizzeria's specialty sauces, ranging from hot or mild to lemon pepper and orange chipotle. Piping-hot pizza comes by the slice or whole pie, with specialties such as the greek pizza with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, pepperoncini, and green olives. More in league with the way home dining rooms feel than how typical pizza parlors are set up, the restaurant?s interior lets diners lounge on padded chairs and benches featuring wrought-iron embellishments as they gather amid displays of art and tables long enough to seat whole families or teams.
A go-to East Dallas hangout known for its great beer selection and laid-back atmosphere (think dim lighting, red vinyl booths, pool tables and a jukebox), Bryan Street Tavern is also recognized as having some of the best bar food in town. That's particularly true of the thin and crispy-crusted pizza, offered with unusual toppings like buffalo chicken, blue cheese and celery or corned beef, sauerkraut and Thousand Island sauce. Beer-basted chicken wings are offered in a kaleidoscope of different flavors, ranging from mild to burn-your-face-off; other options include a Philly cheese steak topped with traditional Cheese Whiz, or a candied jalapeño-battered corn dog, all of which pair perfectly with one of the many local craft beers on tap. The dog-friendly patio's picnic tables are packed when the weather permits.
Touting four eateries including a brand-new Denton location—the Cedar Springs location crowned as one of Dallas's best pizza spots by CitySearch Voters in 2010—Zini's Pizzeria entrances taste buds with colossal specialty pies and pastas doused with house-made sauces. More than 100 coins of pepperoni and a pound of mozzarella embellish the popular 100 Pounder pizza, a pie used to motivate T-rexes to increase their highest bench-pressing weight. A garden's worth of fresh spinach, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and roasted corn set down roots in the Farmers Market pie. A recipe kept close to the vest or encrypted on wooden spoons guides chefs as they concoct a secret sauce destined for the crispy crust of their famous Garlic Cheezi Bread.

Public Health News Roundup: December 5
HUD Adjusts Rent Rules to Help Families Affected by Sandy
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is allowing public housing agencies to change the way they calculate rent in order to help families displaced by Hurricane Sandy. The changes to how payments related to "Fair Market Rent" are designed to give families more options. "We understand that in the wake of a disaster like Sandy, available rental housing becomes increasingly difficult to find, especially for lower income families," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan in a release. "Simply by giving local housing authorities greater flexibility in calculating rental assistance to these families can make all the difference in finding a suitable home or not."

Study: Racial Disparities Show Need to Improve Guidelines on Treating Breast Cancer
Black women are 12 percent less likely than white women to undergo improved, less-invasive surgical procedures to treat breast cancer, according to findings to be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The treatments include sentinel lymph node biopsy, which targets and removes the lymph node that is likely to be affected by the cancer cells next. "These findings are an example of the need for continued improvements in disseminating national practice guidelines for breast cancer to surgeons and other breast cancer providers in all of our communities," said Dalliah Mashon Black, an assistant professor of surgery in the department of surgical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, in a release. "When we think of disparities, it doesn't only mean that patients might be undertreated, but they could be overtreated with unnecessary and more radical procedures." Read more on cancer.
FDA in Public-Private Partnership to Advance Regulatory Science
The new Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC)—an independent, nonprofit corporation—will include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as part of its public-private partnership to advance regulatory science. The goal is to improve patient care by speeding up the development and approval of new medical devices. MDIC was created by the biomedical science trade association LifeScience Alley. "By sharing and leveraging resources, MDIC may help industry to be better equipped to bring safe and effective medical devices to market more quickly and at a lower cost," said Jeffrey Shuren, MD, JD, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, in a release.

Palatine, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/09/2012 -- In this day and age of under performing savings account interest rates and stock market uncertainty, some Illinois families have found an unlikely investment with a guaranteed rate of return. They have not found this investment at a bank or stockbroker, but rather with their local HVAC contractor.
It pretty much goes without saying it but Illinois winters can be very cold so in places like Arlington Heights heating a home can be a very expensive task. In nearby Schaumburg heating an average size house can cost thousands of dollars per year. So it is no surprise that cash strapped families are looking for ways to save money and looking for a safe place to invest their hard earned money.
When it came time to replace the Davis family of Buffalo Grove heating system, the family learned that a $2400 furnace that is 92% efficient would reduce their gas bill by $600 per year or 25% return on investment. Since the Davis family has no plans on moving, the new furnace will save them over $12000 during its expected 20 year lifespan. Since the Davis' old furnace was old and needed repairs almost every year, and the fact that the average heating and cooling repair costs over $300, the fact that the new furnace came with a 10 year parts and labor warranty was a nice bonus! They wont have to pay a cent to repair the furnace since the warranty covers everything except for cleanings or maintenance visits.
Bucks Furnace & Air of Palatine Illinois, an American Standard Dealer, recommends that before replacing a furnace, a qualified contractor should perform an operating cost analyses on a computer using actual utility rates and local area weather conditions. Ben Martorano of Bucks Furnace & Air has said in his 20 year HVAC career he has personally seen customers save as much as $1200 annually just by installing a new furnace.

I'd like a recipe for how to make my own. I have peaches in the freezer and more on the way. A lot are way too soft for making anything but puree.
For the frozen fruit bars I could just mix in sugar but there might be a better way like making a syrup base, as you do for some ice cream recipes. The sweetened peaches on their own freeze very hard and are not like commercial frozen fruit bars, which have a softer, "bite-able" consistency. I'd like to try yogurt too but wouldn't the yogurt separate? Thanks! |

and it's a female pipevine swallowtail - The picture is HUGE, but I've been trying to post a picture, and with all the changes to Photobucket, it's amazing I finally got one on here at all. I've also been having a great deal of trouble getting on this forum - I'm not having trouble with other web sites. I don't know if Garden Web can't afford enough band width or what, I'm not computer savvy, but it's a shame! It's about 72 degrees now and sunny. The serviceberry tree is in bloom, and the earliest blooming wild azalea is showing pink on the buds. So spring shouldn't be far away. I saw three sulphurs outside today, a cloudless sulphur, a sleepy orange and a little yellow. The pipevines haven't started making new growth yet, but will probably do so soon - there's been plenty of rain. Is anybody else but me having trouble logging on to this site? Anybody else having trouble copying pictures from Photobucket? I tried the forum upload, and that didn't work either. Sherry |

Over to Alabama where I have a large fluffy and green patch of Fennel Just waiting! I saw a Zebra Swallowtail flying about my back yard this Afternoon;it was the first Zebra for this season. I also saw one of those Frail looking little white Cabbage butterflies.Also,Sherry I think my Carolina Jessamine may turn out to be the Swamp Jessamine! I hope you can fix your Forum problems as I know we all very much enjoy Your posting,and your pictures on PhotoBucket. |
Sherry, I read the Butterfly Forum even though I don't post much, but I will reply to your Photobucket question. Instead of learning the new and 'improved'? Photobucket I happened to spot a link that said something on the order of "Go back to the old Photobucket program". I did, and find it much more simple, or maybe I'm just used to it. What I do like about recent Photobucket changes are the new edit features. Oh, and Photobucket works better for me on Firefox than Internet Explorer. For posting one picture I've been using the GW forum upload method. Haven't had any problems getting on the GW sites. All the best in butterfly gardening! |
congrats, very pretty photo, you captured her well. I hope you solve your posting photos problem, love seeing your posts and photos. |

Sherry will it get more metallic blue on the hindwing tops when the sun Hits them?I don't know how I missed that,it was really stupid of me. Some of our local Black Swallowtail females come really shaded over. DD |

She'll probably gain a little blue, DD, but the females are mostly black, except for the patch under their hindwings, which, like the males, is iridescent blue and orange. The males, as usual, are the impressive looking ones! Thanks, minrose! Roselee, I'll check on the old way. The only way I was able to upload the picture is by using my 'old way' combined with the new description - I just changed the name of the picture part to the name of the picture with the additions the new way uses. It took about ?five or six tries before I could log on, but I finally got onto this forum. Sherry |
Sherry, I don't know why you are having trouble gaining access to GardenWeb forum. I use Firefox web browser, and there are no delays or other issues for me. Thanks for posting the photo of the pipevine swallowtail-we are having one storm after another, leaving snow, sleet, & freezing rain, so life in Madison is not so much fun right now. I even managed to slip on our front steps and go down on the sidewalk the other day, despite all the time I spend clearing snow & ice from our sidewalks. I am OK except sore in a few places, however, it is a bad sign when the evening news has a feature story about hospital emergency rooms busy helping people who got hurt while walking on the ice. We are looking forward to spring. |

It's good to hear you didn't get hurt, Eric! I can imagine that long cold months full of ice and snow can get as old as long, hot, humid summers get down here! Spring is on the way, though. I noticed today that the wild blueberries/V. elliotti are in full bloom, and my neighbors Indica azaleas that are out in full sun are starting to bloom, plus mine, in shade, are showing color. I'm looking forward to spring myself! I have Firefox, too, so it's a mystery why the Garden Web is so difficult for me to log onto. But I'll keep at it! :) Sherry |
No butterflies here in Madison, but I did see a robin the other day. Not sure what robins eat this time of year, maybe they visit bird feeders. We did get some real snow recently, and today is sunny, and warmer, so it is beginning to feel like spring. Or maybe it feels like late winter... |
Late Winter... Robins eat mostly berries when there are no bugs and worms to eat. I've never seen one at a feeder. Spring in less than 4 weeks... YES!!! |

I released a second female pipevine swallowtail yesterday and a small, male black swallowtail today. I only have two more pipevine chrysalides, but a lot of black swallowtails, and one giant and one tiger chrysalid. 'Can't wait for spring to get here! The big excitement for me this winter has been the rufous hummingbirds that have overwintered here. They appear to be a female and a young male, with one orange spot on his throat. I've really enjoyed them! Here's a picture of the young male. They're skittish, so I had to sit at a bench a good distance from him and use the zoom on my cheap, point-and-shoot camera Sherry |

Dear Delegates and Advisors,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the forty-first session of Yale Model United Nations. YMUN XLI will take place on Yale's campus from January 22 – 25, 2015. Under the direction of our dedicated and passionate secretariat and staff, YMUN will be a wonderful experience for delegates and advisors alike, and we can't wait to welcome you on campus in January.
I sincerely hope that this year's conference will provide delegates with an exciting and rewarding educational opportunity that will help them discover passions and think critically about international relations. Centered on the theme, "Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow," this year's YMUN hopes to encourage our delegates to develop skills of debate and diplomacy and to engage with each other. We want our delegates to walk away with not only a deeper knowledge of international relations, but also an awareness of how they will grow from and apply their YMUN experience in future endeavors.
The vast array of committee topics will ensure the dynamic and interactive debate that defines YMUN. We will bring the education experience to new heights with presentations by Yale professors and other guest speakers and experts. Outside of the committee room, we offer a broader view of what Yale is. At Yale Day, delegates have the chance to interact with Yale student groups and professors through different activities, including a challenging international relations program and a fantastic showcase featuring many of Yale's talented performers.
I would like to heartily extend you an invitation to join us. Registration opens May 12th, 2014, and you will find more information on this page. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns. YMUN is a unique educational opportunity, and I hope you choose to join us come January!

Brief description
The Airborne Voice/Data Radio R&S®XK516 is designed for use in commercial aircraft. The system provides conventional voice and high-speed air-toground, ground-to-air, and air-to-air data communication over long distances. The data communication is suitable for aircraft operational communication (AOC), airline administrative communication (AAC) as well as air traffic communication (ATC).
The radio is a joint development of Rohde & Schwarz and Honeywell Aerospace Electronic Systems. The exclusive distribution rights rest with Honeywell Aerospace Electronic Systems, 15001 N.E. 36th Street, Redmond, WA98073-9701, USA.
The data modules which provide the high-speed data function are fully integrated within the transceiver. The voice/data radio therefore fits into the space of the conventional HF voice radio. Additional space for the data capability is not needed. The functioning of the equipment is controlled by the integrated test system that continuously monitors a number of functions. After the test routine has been triggered, the faulty module will be located and indicated. BITE results are reported to the onboard CFDS/CMC system via two ARINC 429 busses. Interfaces to the central maintenance systems of:
- Airbus
- Boeing
are implemented in the radio, thus featuring one order number for nearly all aircraft types. The HF Airborne Voice/Data Radio R&S®XK516D is designed to meet the requirements of:
- ARINC 719 (voice function)
- ARINC 753 and 635 (data function)
The integrated data communication capability meets the specifications of ARINC 753 and 635 providing high-speed data communication at a data rate of 1800 bits/s.

Many of us pray the Lord's Prayer as part of our faith tradition. When we say the words, "thy kingdom come", do we stop to ponder what we are praying? Sunday's readings from the solemnity of Christ the King, can help us to better understand.
Christians believe that in Jesus, God has provided the king to lead us to true victory over death and sin, with paradise as our destiny. Note the next line in the Lord's Prayer after "thy kingdom come": "thy will be done." It is the divine will and pleasure of God that we be with him in heaven. This is why we are faithful here on earth...why we need to persevere in following the example of Jesus, even in times of suffering. This is why, imitating Jesus, we give of ourselves for others.
We must daily decide to embrace God's will so as to enter his kingdom. For Christians, Jesus Christ is the one true king who guides and protects us along the way.

We've selected a reasonably priced large (45x40") bronze chandelier with gold glass shades for the great room. Not easy to find something reasonable in this size. The island pendants are onyx, but I prefer satin nickel finish with the grey cabinets. Can you mix finishes? The kitchen nook also needs a fixture - and all are very visible/integrated in our open concept rooms. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We ended up doing this very thing: a dark finish for our light above the dining room table and the semi-flush lights in the entries from the patio doors, and a matte chrome for the kitchen pendants. We also have an open plan so all can be seen together. I think it works fine to mix the finishes. From diining room side: From kitchen side: |
I honestly think all of us tend to really over think these things. I know I obsess endlessly over things like this. I wanted the new pendants in my kitchen remodel to match the chandelier over the breakfast table so I had my electrician move my brass chandelier that I love to my dining area that never had a chandelier over the table. It is close to my ceiling fan that we just replaced that is polished nickel and honestly it looks fine. I was going to replace the brass fixture as polished brass seems dated, but it is just too pretty to replace so I am keeping it! |
Thank you leela4 and holly-kay. leela 4 the light fixture over my dining table in our current house looks very similar to yours! Holly-kay, I'm indeed finding that going with the flow and working with what I have (and not stressing out too much) is easiest. But it is a process of weighing cost and preference and trying to find the balance that feels right. Should I let go of my vision for the kitchen that included stainless/satin nickel fixtures? Should I try to find a way to make it work in spite of lack of time and desire to stay in budget? I think I'll be happy either way - but thanks for reminding me to give myself a break! Always good advice. |

As I've been organizing my Pinterest boards, I've been adding descriptions of what I actually like about each pin so it's easier to see trends (plus, I figure if I can't say what I like about it, I can probably delete that pin!). I've been going through my At Home board (and splitting off the work spaces into the Working Girl board), and I'm noticing a trend that I think really defines my style — I like things to be mixed, not matched. Give me a variety of colors, patterns, and textures, and throw in some metallic accents for good measure, and I'm a happy girl! I think this mix makes a room look more cozy and lived in and really tells a story about the person who lives there. What do you think defines your style?
I'm an overstuffed couches and farmhouse dining tables kinda girl. My fiance is all about modernism and sleek angles. I'm pretty sure that, when we move in together (again), our house will be completely mixed, too! Can't wait for those fights… I mean, those opportunities for compromise? haha
Love overstuffed couches and farmhouse dining tables. As much as I admire the modern, sleek look, I will just never be cool enough to pull that off! I would feel the need to mix in stuff to make it look less serious.
I'm with you, I love when things aren't too matched. It gives the space more personality. I'm also a fan of neutral base colors like grey with pops of color. Similar to the top left photo! I think I may have that photo on my pinboard as well.
It's funny, I'm drawn to gray sofas, but I have a red sofa I wouldn't trade for anything — hands down, my favorite piece of furniture. I think I can still do the pops of color with it, I'll just have to be a bit more selective about the colors I use.
I love a mix, but I stick to a limited color palette. I think it's important to mix warm and cool tones, too. Not just colors. All grey appears icy, but if you add in some camel or warm leather or bronze, it keeps it interesting.
Great point! I think that's why I'm particularly drawn to the photo from Little Green Notebook — it's a really good mix of warm and cool tones.
I really need to straighten up my Pinterest boards. At one point, I had them in order, but I've added new boards and needing to delete others than I'm not adding to as much as I thought I would.
It's not an easy task, but it's worth it!
Oh I love this! I totally agree with making a space completely your own. Cozy and lived in with eclectic personality. Perfectly inspiring.
Thanks! I just wish it didn't take so long to create that kind of look — I'm so impatient! I always want to decorate things now, but it really is best when you take your time and collect things that have meaning to you.
Yes, I've been doing that too. Really helps to at least write one little thing about what you like or the reason you pinned the picture. Even if it's as simple as "lots of light." I hate it when people just put a period or empty space in the comments area. It also hinders searching.

GNOME 3 Delayed Until 2011
If you're looking forward to the next desktop environment, you'll have to wait until March.
Members of the GNOME project gathered at the GUADEC conference in the Netherlands this week where they announced that GNOME 3, the next iteration of the popular open source desktop environment would be delayed until March 2011.
This delays the project by a year, as it's original release was schedule for March 2010. That launch was then pushed back to September 2010, but now, the GNOME project will now issue another incremental update in September.
"GNOME is driven by its goals to provide a quality free software desktop, and we feel that our users and downstream community are better served by holding the GNOME 3.0 release until March 2011," the GNOME project said via an official statement.
Still much progress has been made in the desktop environment, which will introduce a new user interface built on JavaScript and the Clutter framework. Users can download early versions of the Shell package from Launchpad.
Gnome 3: Worth to wait
Gnome 3 is really worth to wait it is easier to use and ranking them on familiarity for existing GNOME users, performance, good features, extensibility, and compatibility. The principle of "everybody trying to deliver everything and anything to anyone" should be abandoned. No need to spend resources on that when the audience is desktop users because i have searched other people using Gnome 3 now and others that prefer another like Time is better spent improving the parts that matters for desktop users. But Application is not about "Learning". What user really Need, is something that Works as the best as there can be. If you just want to look it better or newer just change the Graphic. Do i make sense?

I LOVE this candle. It smells exactly like honeysuckle and fills my entire bathroom, and half of my bedroom. This candle is amazing. I love lighting it and letting it go for a few hours. The smell lasts for a while and it is wonderful.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was totally an impulse buy, but well worth it. I bought the big old 22 oz jar of this, and I am so pleased! It is so romantic and floral, and very true to life. The most impressive thing about this candle is that it's got GREAT throw, something not a lot of Yankees have, despite all smelling quite nice. I bought one of those Illuma-Lid things to go over the lip of it, and this helps with spreading the scent around too. I can't rave enough about this particular candle!

I've bought votives of this candle and I think that it smells a lot like honeysuckle. Plus, it is one of the few scents that fills up an entire room.

Wow, amazing, heavenly, beautiful scent. I love it. I usually go for the foodie type of candles, but this one is divine. Will repurchase.

Hello to all. I have built a wooden range hood in our kitchen and have a removable panel on the front, so that I can gain access to the ventilation equipment inside. I could use magnets from behind this "cover" but wanted to use something more decorative. I remember seeing in the past small, flush mount decorative metal "buttons" with wood screws on the back, or even low profile knobs that fasten to a machine screw that I would mount behind the door in the mating surface. BUT I don't know what this type of hardware is called? I have tried many "konb" sites, but it's all pull type knobs, which stand out too far form the surface for the look I am trying to achieve. I'm talking about some type of decorative brass or pewter screw head which will sit flush on the surface of the cover but can be easily removed?
Does this ring a bell with anyone? thanks!! |

There was a kind of mirror-mounting washer that was decorative, but it still used a wood screw in the center. There are colored plastic caps that snap on to cover round-head screws. ? Casey |
I'm not sure whether the post is confusing or I just haven't had enough coffee. Are you looking for a knob to pull with your fingers, or a catch to hold the access panel in place, or both? If this piece of hardware is to serve both functions, you might be thinking of the push-button latches I've seen used in boat cabinetry. |
Why don't you countersink the holes, set the screws in 1/4", and then press in (but not glue in) screw hole buttons or wooden plugs? You should be easily able to find them locally in a species of wood that will match your hood and in a variety of diameters. I've done this in a number of similar projects and it looks good and is simple. |

Last time we were there, we had 3 percussionists, Jim on guitar, and Rod on 'ghost harmonica', an unusual lineup for us, to say the least, but it worked. See you there. J&S

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Overview
Volkswagen went way back to the drawing board with its reimagining of the Beetle. The new Beetle (VW has dropped "New" from the name) draws its inspiration from the original Beetle that was made from 1938 through the 1970s. The modern Beetle features a lower, flatter roofline and a more aggressive stance. Of course, the engine is now up front, reflecting modern car design. Overall dimensions have grown, which translates to more interior room for passengers. Those passengers get a combination of retro simplicity in the gauge layout, elegance in the quality of cabin materials and high-tech in the available gizmos and gadgets.The Beetle comes in three basic trims--the base 2.5L, the TDI and the Turbo. The base model utilizes a 170-hp, 2.5L 5-cylinder engine driving the front wheels through a standard 5-speed manual. The TDI features a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine good for 140-hp mated to either a 6-speed manual or a DSG. The Turbo delivers 200 hp from a 2.0L direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder. Like the TDI, the Turbo is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed DSG. On 2.5 models, a 6-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport mode is optional. The dual-clutch unit offers drivers both fully automatic and semi-manual control.
The Beetle shares its underpinnings with the new Jetta, which include front struts and a rear twist-beam axle. Steering-feel will feel very familiar to those who have driven previous New Beetles, though the driving experience has changed significantly, thanks to the revised A-pillar angle and accordingly, the abbreviated dashboard. The effect is to bring the driver closer to the action.
A convertible version gets a power-folding fabric top. The top folds in 9.5 seconds and will operate at vehicle speeds up to 30 mph. Convertibles feature the same engine and transmission lineup as the coupe, and the modest weight increase barely hinders performance.
Base trims come nicely equipped with cruise control, keyless entry, 3-color ambient lighting, 6-way adjustable and heated front seats and a 50/50 split folding rear seat. On the technology front, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and a media device interface with iPod cable are also standard.
Base models can be equipped with a powered panoramic sunroof and a Fender premium sound system and navigation.
TDI models add a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push button start, Sirius XM radio and a multi-function trip computer.
Turbo models add a rear spoiler, 4-wheel disc brakes with red calipers behind special 18-inch Twister alloy wheels, variable electromechanical power steering, front MacPherson struts and a Cross Differential System, which helps prevent inside wheelspin when cornering. Inside, accents such as brushed aluminum-look pedal covers, sport seats, the 8-speaker sound system of the base car, cloth seating and special interior trim pieces.
Safety comes standard as well in all 2013 Beetles, with anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags and combined curtain and side front seat airbags.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Model Changes
After the successful introduction of the redesigned Beetle in 2012, VW has begun to flesh out the lineup. The biggest change for 2013 is the reintroduction of a diesel model (TDI). The diesel promises serious fuel economy for the stylish compact and is rated at 28 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. Later in the year VW plans to introduce a special model dubbed the Fender Edition, as in Fender guitars. Featuring a premium sound system leather seating and special styling cues, the Fender edition should satisfy those looking for a more premium version of the iconic Beetle.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Value
With a new, more aggressive design, more spacious interior, plus a trio of tried and true engine options, the 2013 Volkswagen offers a fresh alternative for buyers shopping around for a cool compact. With regards to features, performance and price, the Beetle holds its own against the likes of the MINI Cooper and FIAT 500, with a lower price than the MINI and more practical interior than the FIAT.
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Strengths
Aggressive styling; more practical and spacious interior; sporty turbo performance; plenty of in-cabin entertainment options; convertible available

Elastic and Viscous Fluids
Name: Carolyn Status: Other Grade: Other Location: KS Country: USA Date: June 2005
Would you please explain how a fluid could have both elastic and viscous properties? What are the definitions of viscous and elastic? Thanks!
Viscous flow is the resistance movement of a mass of substance (usually a liquid). Motor oil, glycerin, and water are examples. Elasticity is the tendency of a mass of substance in some initial shape to return to that shape after it has been deformed in some way. Jell-o, and to a lesser extent honey are examples. Some rubbery materials are both viscous and elastic. That is, if you deform the material slowly, it flows; but if you deform (or attempt to deform) the substance rapidly it returns to its original shape when the deformation is stopped. Some paints show this type of behavior.
Vince Calder
In simple terms elasticity means that the material (like rubber) can stretch and still remain coherent or together. In certain applications elasticity also means that when stretching or compressing a material and the force that stretches or compresses the material is removed, (again like rubber) the material snaps back to its original shape.
Viscosity on the other hand means that a material resists flow. A substance with a high viscosity (like honey) does not flow easily, whereas one with low viscosity (like water) flows relatively easily.
Thus, one can be surprised that there are materials that are both viscous (flows with some resistance) and elastic (stretches, flows, but snaps back to its original shape). But you do not need to look very far to encounter such visco-elastic material. Most polymers (plastics) are viscoeleastic. I especially like "silly putty" (and if you do not remember or have not encountered Silly Putty - then you should go to the nearest toy store and get yourself one ). Silly Putty will bounce - which means it is elastic (it deforms upon impact, but regains its shape), but it is also viscous (stretch away a small chunk and that chunk will pull out a small stream under its own weight; or simply roll the silly putty into a nice ball and leave it on your desk, after a while it flattens a bit - again under its own weight).

Hello, I'm purchasing my first firearm for self defense in the home and have pretty much settled on a Glock 23 (yes, I'm getting training, will practice with it, etc. etc.) I'm curious about where to buy one though. If I purchase through a licensed dealer here in Arizona, I know they'll run a background check which itself isn't a problem, but does that background check somehow notify the federal government that I own that firearm? With Obama in office and a Congress who doesn't know their head from, well, you know... I've read a lot about buying used vs new, the different background requirements, etc. but I'm not sure how all of that pertains to my privacy when it comes to owning that firearm. Any input from people more experienced would certainly be appreciated.!

If this Nation gets that bad, it won't matter whether you bought used or new, they'll come to your door and search for it. The way you purchase is entirely up to you. A new gun is under warranty a used one generally is not. Not sure what the laws are in Arizona, just know you have a better selection than folks in California. Good Luck!!
People get the government they deserve.
What are you afraid of, you are in Arizona! Good for you. Second, why would you worry about buying 1 firearm and the gubmit maybe knowing about it () when there are much more menacing persons out there that have virtual arsenals.
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I've just heard a lot from various people saying one thing or the other about it, just decided to ask in a forum where I can get a variety of opinions. I'm not really all that concerned about it, but I wanted to throw the question out there anyways. Is the avoidance of a background check pretty much just a way for people who wouldn't pass the check anyways to get a firearm, or is it a way for law-abiding citizens to avoid being "registered" as owning a gun? Or both... Just trying to figure out what all the noise about the "loophole" is and why anyone would want to take advantage of it. Having said that, I do plan on getting a CCW permit down the road which I suppose would provide a certain level of "registration" anyways, so it might be a moot point, just trying to learn a little about it.
I don't believe it is an issue of it being an advantage to purchase privately except that an individual might have the rifle or pistol I want that a dealer may not, either because it is no longer in production, or because it has after market upgrades or is priced well below what a new weapon would cost. As always in any firearms purchase, be very knowledgeable of the weapon you are buying, the Federal laws governing firearms and the laws pertaining to your State.
Buy it the normal way through a FFL dealer. Then you know the firearm is legal in your state and not stolen or involved in a crime. If you buy private party it's a good idea to check with your local PD right away to insure the firearm isn't on the hot sheet. Don't get too concerned about the goverment comming for your firearm, be more concerned with being caught with a stolen firearm or one used in a crime.
Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Exactly what the others have said-a new firearm is for SURE not "hot" and will be legal & under warranty. Be aware that all new firearms, and especially semi autos in general require a break in of at least 200-300 rounds to ensure no problems before trusting your life & the lives of loved 1s to it. The only times I buy used is on models not currently being manufactured, or get GREAT deals on them-then I religiously take it to the local police department and have them run the serial # on it-even on guns sold by pawn shops. Bottom line-if it sounds too good to be true,it usually is-especially on firearms. If you buy from a dealer, then you have them backing you up in case it ever needs to be returned to the manufacturer for warranty work. Not so if you buy from unknown individuals.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
The first pistol i got was a Glock 23... I was 16 at the time and got it from guy in the paper. It was brand new and to this day I havent had a single problem with it. If your worried about Obama taking your guns away then do what the rest of do and say that you sold it. wink wink.... Right now the main thing going through his head is trying to make ammunition expensive as hell and/or limiting the numbers being sold. There are too many democrats (bad word) in the senate that refuse to sign another weapons ban like the one that passed in the Clinton (bad word) era. Also, if you bought that gun now while there are no restrictions on it who can tell you to give it up??? Id like for the day to come when someone tells me that
If you find a gun you like... just HUG A TREE an buy it. You can never have too many... no matter what liberals say.
When you buy from a dealer, you complete a form 4473, and the dealer calls in for a background check. There is no "registration" that on this date, Joe Doe bought a 40 cal Crunchenticker, serial number B1313. The DEALER retains the form 4473. When they run the background, there is no mention of make, model, or serial number. THAT goes in the dealer's record that HE keeps. With the exception of NFA arms (full autos, sawed offs, etc) there is NO Federal database of "registered" guns- or gunowners. Also expect to find a lot of paranoia among gun folks. I would be, but I lost all my guns in a horrible boating accident, Thursday of next week.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

Capuramycin (CM) antibiotics are bactericidal for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in vitro. Due to their low membrane permeability and efflux, however, these compounds are less effective against intracellular MTB. To improve intracellular activity, we created phospholipid Phosal 53 MCT-based nanoemulsion (NE) formulations of CM analogues SQ641, SQ641-aua, SQ641-2aua and SQ997-3aua. We assessed intracellular killing activity of the 4 CM analogues and their NE formulations against MTB using the J774A.1 mouse macrophage cell line. Of the several emulsifiers investigated, d-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) produced the most efficacious and stable emulsion, with a mean particle size below 70 nm. CM analogue-NE formulations prepared using TPGS as emulsifier (-NETPGS) showed significantly improved intracellular activity over free drugs. The order of intracellular activity was SQ641-2aua- NETPGS > SQ997-3aua-NETPGS > SQ641-aua-NETPGS > SQ641-NETPGS. At 2× MIC the intracellular killing activity of SQ641- 2aua-NETPGS, the most active formulation, surpassed that of first-line anti-TB drugs isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RIF) and ethambutol (EMB). Enhanced intracellular activity of the -NETPGS formulation, perhaps, was due to TPGS mediated blocking of the drug efflux.

Hi Guys,
I know I started this thread, and I've yet to post a food pic HAHA.
Anyway, I'll be at the World on Sunday (YAY!!), and you can sure that I'll be taking lots of food pics for this thread for when I get back. See you then!
