Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sage!
Facts about Sage
- Breed: Beagle
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sage's Info...
I am purebred and up to date with shots.
This is protector of the food! She has been sitting in the food bowl since I got her. She would take a run around the area and topple the other pups over then back to the food bowl. She sits in the middle as she eats!
They are current on their shots. Have been dewormed.

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

I've been eyeing Ole Henriksens products for a while, but they're just too expensive for me, so i was really happy to get a sample of his Loofah Body Scrub. It was however, a disappointment. Scrubbing abilities are nice enough, skin was soft afterwards, but the menthol in it caused serious irritation in...ehm...lower regions, even if it was just a drop that got in there with water. Moreover, i was unlucky enough to touch my face with hands afterwards an my eyes got seriously annoyed too. So instead of stepping out of the shower as a shiny, smooth-skined-goddes, I tumbled out with red eyes, runny nose and tripping from one foot to another because of very intimate itch. My husband commented that i smelled like I showered in mounthwash... all in all, definitely not worth spending 355 Danish Krona ( or $63, £39) for it.
This is the best body scrub I have ever tried. Made my skin SO soft, but not dry (my upper arms and calves usually start itching five minutes after I've showered). It smells very fresh and menthol'y, so much that it almost felt like I'd brushed my teeth after using the scrub in a steamy shower. Perfect for those sleepy mornings, as it does make me more awake somehow. The bad things? The price, which is insane even online. The packaging is also slightly annoying, as the plastic is very hard, making it unnecessary hard to squeeze out the scrub. The only way to reach the last bit of product is to cut the bottle open with a pair of scissors. Still, the product itself is so wonderful I'd definitely buy it again - once I can afford it, that is.
I got this product because I'm trying to make an effort to buy more natural products. Hmm..this is just like the St. Ives scrub but this has a more minty tingling to it. The scrub particles are the same, and i actually hoping for more exfoliation. I am sort of dissapointed because it doesnt slough away and scrub my skin for a good clean feeling. Its ok, I'm gonna keep searching for a better scrub.
This scrub is very gentle but it's still scrubbing your skin. Sometimes you could wish for some stronger corns but if you scrub with this twice a week, you don't need a stronger scrub. I like the menthol effect afterwords, and together with Body sleek, it do wonders.
reaaalllly liked that stuff :-). but price is too high. TG there is ebay :-))
to it defence, should say that it's much more effective than any salt scrubs and
is consumed much more slower...
Lovely scent! Minus for a price
I didn't like this body scrub. It sells for $28 for 12oz and to me it is a runnier version of St. Ives scrub. It is a non-foaming body scrub that has a minty (spearmint??) scent. As a body exfoliator it is just okay, but, it doesn't moisturize the skin at all. It does feel refreshing because of the scent, but, for this price I expect some skin hydration as well as exfoliation. There are definitely less expensive brands that deliver better results. [Overall, I was highly disappointed with the Ole Henriksen line. It's marketed as natural, Danish spa-type products but I found them to be similar to drug store type poorly made products.]
This is a very nice body scrub and smells very nice! What I really like about it is that I think it has some menthol in it, because afterwards you feel so fresh and invigorated and u really have a cool feeling to the skin! Very nice! I d definitely buy this one again!!
I got this as a GWP at the last MUA/Bendel's event and I love it. Even though it has a slight eucalyptus scent to it - which I normally detest- I find it invigorating rather than sickening. It's small scrub particles (loofah) do a nice job without stripping my skin or leaving any redness. The cream base is also nice because it's a non foaming scrub - which in this case I prefer. For $28 or so it's worth it - the bottle is large and you don't need too much for each application. Great on legs.

Becoming a Vegetarian
Substitute With Soy
Soy products are a versatile source of protein. They work well as a meat substitute. Try making tofu kabobs the next time you fire up the grill. There are also plenty of other soy foods on the market today. Soy is in most meatless hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and breakfast sausages. Edamame are soybeans that aren't processed.
Reap the Health Benefits
Because they are lower in or free of animal products, vegetarian diets are low in total and saturated fat and cholesterol. Many studies have shown that vegetarians are less likely to get certain diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. A vegetarian diet also boosts your intake of antioxidants found in colorful fruits and vegetables, such as lutein in broccoli and lycopene in tomatoes, which may help protect against cancer.
Find Sources of Calcium and Vitamin D
If you eat milk, cheese, or yogurt, you probably get enough calcium to keep your bones strong. But if you go vegan, you'll need other sources of calcium. These include fortified soy and almond milk and orange juice, with small amounts of calcium in seeds, nuts, and some green vegetables. People who avoid dairy products also miss out on vitamin D. Non-meat sources include tofu made with calcium sulfate, and fortified milk alternatives like soy and almond milk. Some vegetarians may need to consider a supplement.
Zero In on Zinc
Although zinc is found in many vegetarian foods, it is not as well absorbed as meat-based zinc. Eating plenty of zinc-rich foods can help you maximize the amount your body absorbs. Good sources include milk, cheese, whole-grain breads, nuts, soy foods, and legumes, such as chickpeas. Hummus on a whole-grain pita is one tasty snack that does the trick.
Keep Your Eye on Iron
It's not just in red meat. You can also get iron from leafy green vegetables, cooked dry beans, tofu, and fortified cereals or grains. Like zinc, plant-based iron is not as well absorbed as iron from meat. The solution is to eat iron-rich foods regularly and in combination with foods that have vitamin C, which helps your body absorb iron.
Put Omega-3s on Your List
Omega-3 fatty acids are good fats that may help lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and stave off age-related dementia. There are two kinds. Most of the health benefits are linked to docosahexaenioc acid (DHA), found mainly in fatty fish, as well as fortified foods like eggs. If you don't eat either of these foods, you might want to consider a supplement. Pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts, and canola oil are all good sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid beneficial for heart health.
Are You Getting Enough Vitamin B12?
Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause muscle weakness and fatigue. This vitamin is found only in some fortified foods and in foods made from animals, such as meats, eggs, and milk products. So if you eat a vegan diet, you need to either eat foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take supplements.

Forex FX 4X – US Dollar Index Analysis – WC December 3rd
(Dollar Index Weekly Update, Forex-FX-4X.com, Week Of 3rd December)
- The USDX found support just above the 80.00 handle (with its 50% corrective retrace confluence) over the past week, with a move down to 80.03 on Tuesday and Thursday respectively.
- Converging 100 and 200 period daily SMA's (simple moving averages) marked the weekly range high around 80.58, with the D1 candle on Wednesday breaking higher before edging down on the closing basis. The lack of a significant directional bias, with solid associated flows, has the dollar index trading at the same level it spent most of October oscillating around. End of year trading may see this theme continue unless a fresh catalyst can be found.
- The latest Commodity Futures Trading Commission "COT report" data (commitment of traders) shows large currency futures speculators cut the net long US dollar position by around a third on the weekly basis.
- USDX has now closed the month only marginally higher (around 30 pips) after retracing from earlier 81.50 area highs near the start of November. It is however worth noting that this is the first monthly gain, after three consecutive declining months for the dollar index.
- The strong bearish candle from last week (see figure 2) still adds a negative tone when referencing the weekly chart. The lack of momentum on the follow through will however please USD bulls somewhat.
- When looking at the currency majors we see that November gave the fourth consecutive monthly gain for the EUR versus the USD at +0.3%. Price is yet again trading around the key 1.3000 level for the EUR, which is heavily weighted in the dollar index.
- The dollar/yen has seen a gain of around 3.5% over the same period. The Japanese yen carries a 13.6% weight in the USDX basket of currencies and is second only to the euro in this respect. See our latest USD/JPY weekly analysis update.

Cool drawing man.
Also changed this thread into a general rougelike thread as I believe ADOM is back in development and some of the last 7drl entries were p rad.
My favourite roguelikes are:

Christ this game really is Dwarf Fortress as roguelike, isn't it?

Price is not the main issue but quality ,communication and timeliness Thanks |

maryelizabeth2010- We built our pool and spa over this past winter with Superior Pools(Cornelius, NC. http://www.superiorpoolsnc.com)and are thrilled with the result. While under construction, my husband and I called literally every day at least once. If they did not pick up the phone, they called back within 15 minutes EVERY time! It's been two months since completion and they are still answering our phone calls and questions. They are confident in their product, skills, and service and don't try to hide or become elusive as the project progresses. We highly recommend them. One of the most appealing things about Superior was the clarity of the price... there aren't a lot of hidden costs. The base package they offer includes the upgrades that you will be choosing anyway (kind of like buying a new house... you shouldn't have to ask for trim around windows, it should already be included). Good luck! |
I am nearing the end of construction on my spool (spa / pool) and am very happy with Carolina Pool King. I like that they do both the hardscape and the pool. Jim King, the owner, is there every day and is a perfectionist. The other subs say the same thing and they like to work with him. Check out "New Spa Build, Charlotte NC" on this forum. DIYSPA |

maryelizabeth2010, Out of the choices that you have given, Anthony & Sylvan is the only one with an OK track record with concrete pools here. Lake Norman Pool & Spa is a retail pool store small chain in LKN, Statesville, and Denver,NOT A POOL BUILDER.Someone else is building their pools-find out who this is. Independant Pools is primarily an aluminum fencing importer, who also has a VINYL POOL BUILDING OPERATION-that they sold, and then repossessed.They have built some concrete pools, but not many, and not very good ones at that. Poolscape would actually build a good concrete pool also. Superior Pools-don't just walk away from this bucket shop-RUN! |

Interesting how there is such a spectrum of reviews for the same pool builders. I was beyond scared to hand over tens of thousands of dollars to an industry with such a shady reputation... and actually told this to my PB! I questioned and researched for hundreds of hours even after we signed the contract. Our PB took a small deposit [that would have been easy to walk away from] last summer to hold the [very fair] price with the agreement that we would start construction by April 2010. Between August and January [when we actually started], my husband and I continued our due diligence and worked out every detail of our build and Superior Pools maintained their patience and word over all of those months. I am glad we had that time because otherwise there would have been some misteps along the way. Too many PB's and clients jump in too quickly and I think that's what leads to disappointment. On projects of this magnitude, you need to build a relationship of trust. I was fortunate to have two other homeowners on my street who had built pools with Superior. These were not handpicked references, these were my neighbors that I could talk to freely and vice versa. Since then, Superior has built two more pools on my street. During the construction process, we had some days below freezing. My PB went over to the neighbor's house and checked on their freeze protection... never having been asked. I was pretty impressed by this. This is the kind of service I am looking for. I want to know that my PB is proactive and cares about my project even after it is completed. As I said before, we continue to call on a regular basis and never have to wait for a return call. This is MY experience. I can only speak for myself and for a project that I have actually been involved in. I work in retail and I know that not every story is a happy one. However, I also know that people in general are fairly intolerant and often have unreasonable expectations. I have heard disaster stories from several people who built pools with various builders in Charlotte... those aren't my stories to tell. I take everything with a grain of salt and trust my own instincts when it comes to who I enter a relationship with. So, to the person who suggests running from this "bucket shop," know that Superior Pools has happy customers out there and before you try to ruin a company's reputation, think long and hard... |

We just had a concrete (shotcrete) pool installed this spring. We went through the same steps you are....however in our situation we found the quotes to be outrageous and the most reputable builders were trying to push us on a vinyl pool...ultimately I decided it was because their profit margin was much greater...I received quotes from 70k-100k for a vinyl pool! I was set on shotcrete and could not imagine paying those prices and found a pb out of Atlanta who was willing to drive 4 hours with all their crews to do the shell and install the pebble sheen, which none of the companies in my town were licensed to do..our final product is amazing..the communication and scheduling was swift and efficient and having completed several contracting projects on my own...the skill and hard work ethic these subs had were incredible. I was able to get the pool I wanted without sacrificing quality on a fair budget. Check around and make sure you get many references! Tara |

Those crooks,uh, I mean intellectual property misappropriators at Superior Pools and Spas are at it again. Their new advertisement on the cover of TheHomeMag, showing a pool and spa with a faux rock slide isn't one of their pools at all.The pool in question was built in Temecula California by Brian Cullingworth Custom Pools and Spas. |

PoolAnalyst- Has anyone heard that Pool by Design is using Hayward rather than Jandy now. Which is best? Everything I have seen on the net puts Jandy in the top spot. |

Your probably not going to find to many Hayward fans here. But to give my personal opinion. Pentair and Jandy both come in the lead for me. Hayward itself is a far cry from being the quality of the other two. I personally use Pentair mainly because in addition to building residential pools I also do alot of commercial service and repair. Pentair makes commercial pumps and Jandy does not. JMO, David |

most of the builders reccomended here i wouldnt even work for as a subcontractor. been building pools for 14 years 7 of which subcontracting in the lake norman charlotte area. ask to see the pools of the builder you are getting quotes from that should tell you all you need to know. especially if the homeowner is around when you do it. |

I was hoping someone could advise me on a cactus problem. I bought my mother a bunny ear cactus and everything was great. It has taken off in a very big way. My mother said that there are little skinny spines like things coming out of the pads that look like skinny greenbeans. There are so many of them that the cactus is getting top heavy and bending over. She is afraid that this is going to hurt the plant and make it cave in by the shear weight of these. It has already folded in at the top of the cacti. Do you know if she can break off the top of the cactus or support it with stakes? Or ? I would appreciate any suggestions because she received this as a mother's day present and she and I hate to see it die because of this problem. She has it inside as a houseplant if this information helps as well. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thaks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think I'll need a picture for this ... How big are these "spines" (I don't think it is spines, it is more likely either rudimentary leaves or etiolitated new growth)? Most Opuntia are robust plants that can be pruned without hurting the plant or making it look weird, so it should be ok to cut off a few pieces. But a photo would be a big help to understand what it going on. |
hello same thing has happened to me yesterday! little new ears keep growing on top and the below main stem has just bended! I would like to send a photo of it but is it possible to send it here? |
Maybe if you start a new thread, I have never tried. Otherwise you could upload them to a site like Photobucket, copy the URL and paste in the message. |
I have uploaded the photos to kodak share, here is the link to the album: http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?UAUTOLOGIN_ID=337947479108&collid=337947479108.724285385308.1247828237968&page=1&sort_order=0&navfolderid=0&folderid=0&ownerid=0 if any trouble occurs - my login details are: thank you so much in advance! |

Hi, Here's a follow up picture of the bunny ear cactus at the following link. http://photobucket.com/oddduck314 I still need help identifying what is going on with it. Thanks again for any assistance you might be able to provide. |
Oops, I forgot about this thread, I have never understood how the threads are sorted on the main page. odduck: the "spine like things" are extremely etioliated new segments. That plant is in terrible need of more light. I would cut off all etioliated new growth and put the plant in a sunnier position. baharryy: your plant is sick, looks like rot. It is also a little etioliated. If you really want to it might be possible to cut of the healthy segment (if the rot has not already spread to it, this can only be seen after cutting it off) and root it, but I don't think it is worth the effort except for practice. Both plants look like Opuntia microdasys, one of the worst when it comes to handling the stems. Very irritating glochids. |
thank you so much for the info! I have already cut the healthy segment - luckily there seems to be no rotting there.. I am waiting for the cut to heal-close - I will re-plant it soon..Any tips for re-rooting? I heard I shouldnt be giving water for some time - but how much time? Also how deep it should be? And does it need special soil? And the questions kept coming :) best, bahar |
The wound will be vulnerable to fungal disorders for a long time. Therefore, many prefer to tilt the pad and let the cut remain just above soil level. It will put out roots from the areoles in concact with the soil. Later, the plant can be potted in a more upright position. Could be worth trying, I often use it with good results. Actually it does not need to be put down into the soil, Opuntia pads usually root even if placed flat on top of the soil (but it will look funny). Some species (and many other cacti) put out roots even without soil. I have also seen Opuntia cuttings that have been buried to half their height, so deep that the wound is positioned directly over the hole in the bottom of the pot. I have not tried that myself. No water for some time after potting. How long depends on the species and temperature. The fast ones needs 2-3 weeks, slow Opuntia can take almost a year. I have never tried to root a microdasys, but I would not expect roots in less than 1-2 months. You can put the pad in something that is easy to remove such as cat litter, wait for a while (without watering) pour out the "soil" and check for roots. When the roots are a few mm long I give a small amount of water - just a few drops or ml depending on the size of the cutting. The soil: When I root Opuntia I use a very airy medium that does not hold a lot of water, such as gravel and the pebbles of fired clay that is sold under many names (Hydroleca is one). Later, when the roots have almost filled the pot and the wound has healed better I repot it in a mixture of ordinary garden soil (of the loam type, not clay) and same coarse stuff I used for rooting + some coarse sand, approximately at a 3:4 ratio. Different growers use different techniques, you will definitely see other recommendations if you search for more information. Be prepared to lose a number of pads while learning what works for you. |

Planning on buying... organizing your water fowl
Or in the vernacular, getting your ducks in a row
My husband and I want to buy in in the next few years, cash only, no financing. We want to buy enough to start to be able to take a 2 bedroom villa for a week in either May or September. So I'm imagining 350-400 points? I've been reading the WDWinfo site on DVC for a few months now. What are your tips for 'planning to be' new members. Anything you wish you did that you didn't, or anything that you DID do that in retrospect wasn't necessary? For example, did you buy new and then wish you'd bought resale? Or vice versa? For those who bought resale, did you find that enough details weren't made clear to you in the way they might have been if you were working directly with Disney? How did you choose your home resort? Tour each DVC in the world? Stay at them all? I'm curious about your experiences and if you have any recommendations you wish you had gotten |

We are also glad to have many smaller contracts (in case we need to sell 1 or 2 off someday, they are easier to sell...do kind of wish our original 200 OKW was broken up). I suggest getting multiple smaller contracts, with different home resorts, for 11 month booking advantage at more than 1 resort. We have had luck booking other resorts at 7 months out, but we have also had difficulty sometimes too...like when it's a busy/prime time for DVC (it took us a while to get BCV). Early May is Flower and Garden and late September is Food and Wine which are busy DVC times (especially at Epcot area resorts)....late May and early September are very nice times to go and you'd have decent chances to get other resorts at 7 months out. Our OKW is June UY and everything else is Aug. This works out well now that we have so many points (we won't need to combine UY), but when we just had 200 June and 75 Aug...it was kind of tough when booking a resie using both (which we did for our trip this past January). You have to book 2 seperate resies and link them (and you need to go to desk to get new key cards on the link day...plus housekeeping thinks you are checking out that day). I suggest getting same UY if you can (unless they are larger contracts that you can use to book in entirety with banking and borrowing). I also wish our OKW was BWV or some of both (we bought the cheapest WDW points at the time). We love BWV and would love to be able to book the- lesser point cost- standard view villas. They tend to book up before the 7 month window...especially during prime DVC times. My MIL and FIL love our OKW...they love staying in a 1BR there in the hospitality house section, so I am glad we can do that but I'd really really love to have BWV points (maybe next purchase). I am happy to have AKV since we can now conserve points by booking value or standard view villas there and we have a longer contract life (not that that's too important since we will be likely done doing WDW even before our OKW expires...but our kids/grandkids can use them). We added HH to do every other year and therefor save on not having to buy park passes and crazy expensive Disney dining (and airfare...we can drive to HH from MD- no problem). HH is tough to book at 7 months our for summer and holidays, so we needed to own there and it's a cheaper buy-in there (like OKW and SSR). I do suggest to buy where you want to stay...to some extent. Any of the DVC resorts are nice...we have our preferences, but are happy to be at any of them. And some folks can't book before the 7 month window so home resort wouldn't be as important to them. I have to agree with many folks who say that SSR is the best deal going...low buy-in, lower annual dues and longer contract life. But it's my least favorite resort and one that we can get almost any time, since it's such a large resort. Happy hunting for your contract(s). If you go resale, which I think is the WAY to go (IMO), good luck with ROFR.

I've stayed at the hotel side of the DVCs that I purchased into, but not the DVC side. Some will advise that you rent first. I think if you are comfortable with knowing that it's essentially a timeshare and not a true Disney Deluxe room, then you will be ok. Just go visit them the next time you are at WDW to make sure you like the location, themes, etc. Small contracts are better than a big one, but be mindful of the closing costs per contract. I like small contracts at different resorts, this allows some diversity. I think, the only thing I may regret in the future, is one of my contracts is a bit too small, I would have liked about 25% more in points on it. But it's always better to be a little too low (cause you can borrow), than be too high, cause renting isn't a guarantee. |

We originally thought we needed around 300-320 points. I waited years for some kind of windfall so that we would have the cash to buy this amount of points resale (never on God's green earth would we consider financing).
I continued to read this board and learn. Then, out of the blue, I realized that there were resale contracts for less amounts of points which I could easily purchase right then and there, and we could simply add on later. Not sure why that had never dawned on me before! That day I made an offer for 140 points, and 7 weeks later I was making our first reservation. I think of all those trips we made while we were waiting for the $$ to buy our anticipated points, and I really regret not buying sooner. Now we are looking to add on, but we have taken four vacations in less than two years as owners. I have also found that we can certainly get by on less than 300 points. One thing that I had never fully realized before owning was the point difference between resorts. For example, your points will go much further if you stay at OKW rather than BLT. We have stayed at SSR, OKW, BWV and AKL-Kidani and loved each of them!

My personal opinion is the restrictions on resale points are not worth worrying about. In fact, I think most folks would be better off without those options like Disney Collection -- especially for the purpose of making a buy/don't buy decision. Looking only at what you get resale puts more focus to the one real benefit of owning DVC -- using your points at DVC resorts at WDW. We bought first resale, and later direct because of a legitimately good promotion DVC had at the time (15% off the purchase price + an HONEST 100 free one-time points). We bought our second contract direct because there was only a small difference between direct and resale prices, and the promotion literally made the price a little lower direct. That was then, and this is now. Now, some resale contracts may be 1/2 the price of direct...or even less. And...DVC hasn't offered a legitimately good promotion since we bought! Today, I can't think of an honest rationale for buying direct, with the possible exception of a small add-on that you can't find in the resale marketplace. Even in that case, I would probably realize that I'd been living somehow without those 25-50 points and I could wait until they became available for half the price. I wouldn't pay the direct prices, even for a new resort just getting ready to open. Quote:
I took the tour at WDW. Our guide didn't do or say anything unethical or malicious, but she simply wasn't that knowledgeable (and she'd been there a LONG time...still is, as far as I know). When we went back to her to purchase direct later, she kinda messed that up and it took some doing to repair her mistakes. When we returned from WDW after the tour, I Googled DVC and ended up here on the DIS. I found the information here both unbiased and very often more accurate and reliable than what my guide told me. The people here of the DIS were very helpful to us in understanding the system and figuring out what features actually mattered and which were fluff. |

When we bought we purchased what is turning out to be too many points. We just aren't going every.single.year (or twice a year eek) like we thought we would.
Now we are actually thinking about selling our points and buying a smaller contract. If I had it to do all over again I would buy a smaller contract to start out with. You can always borrow next years points if you need to. After a few trips if you still want/need more points you can buy another contract at the same resort and use year, or even choose a different resort, though borrowing/banking it's easy to make two contracts work with a little experience . That way you can sell one of the contracts in the future (think years from now) if you find you aren't going as much anymore as the kiddo's become teenagers and young adults. Smaller contracts sell so much easier than large ones. |

You may want to start with a bit fewer points. (Unless you can afford both the purchase price, and the dues on such a large contract easily.). You can always buy more later, once you have a better feel for how DVC works, and you are certain that you want/need more points.
I bought resale BCV points last summer, 200 points. It was a loaded contract, so we got 2012 points that were banked. We took a week long spring break trip that used 401 points. We will still have 199 points come Feb 2014. If we run short, I may look into trying to arrange a point transfer from another owner.

Comments by Ron Flynn from a COOK-CO-IL-L email he posted on Saturday, February 20, 1999
The Archdiocese Archives DOES NOT have ONLY records from inactive parishes. I am aware of Sacramental records they have for 3 very active north suburban parishes. The problem at the Archdiocese Archives is that the archivist (Sylvia @ ext.722) does not seem to know what records are there, and if you are calling long distance, (I have never reached her by my phone call), despite what her voice mail message says about calling you right back, it was always over a week before she would return a call, if ever. Sylvia will send you a form which requires you to provide virtually ALL the info that is on the Sacremental record that you want. For $20, she will research the records and send you a certified copy. Julia (@ ext. 728) does seem knowledgeable. She has, while I waited on the phone, checked for me on what Sacremental records and dates for particular parishes, that are in their archives. Julia can make an appointment (very limited availability) for you to come in and research the Sacremental records they have. My suggestions:

We're really looking forward to the Carnival of Madness tour this summer, says Evanescence front woman Amy Lee about the upcoming tour. We love Chevelle and haven't hit the road together in years, and I'm really stoked to finally be playing some shows with Halestorm. Naturally I'm a fan of strong women in music and Lzzy's voice is spectacular.
For new addition, Cavo, their sophomore album Thick As Thieves is a testament to their bond that was once broken and has now been rebuilt and even strengthened. Released April 2012 via Eleven Seven Music, the album, featured Casey Walker(Vocals), Brian Smith (bass), Chad Laroy (drums) and Chris Hobbs (guitar)--will officially be impacting rock radio this summer with their next single Circles, though it is already spinning at Sirius, KQRC in Kansas City and hometown favorite, KPNT in St. Louis, MO. The band has previously achieved a #1 single, Champagne, and Top 5 rock track, Crash, on their major label debut, Bright Nights Dark Days (Reprise Records).
On Monday, July 23, Amy Lee of Evanescence, Pete and Sam Loeffler of Chevelle and Lzzy Hale of Halestorm will appear on Rockline Radio in anticipation of the tour launch.
Hosted by Bob Coburn, the nationally syndicated radio show airs live at 8:30pm Pacific/11:30pm Eastern on rock stations across the country and can also be heard online at www.rocklineradio.com.
Check their website for local affiliated stations. During the show, fans can call in to ask the artists questions as well at 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).
The five bands have also set weekly Google Hangouts to video chat with their fans prior to kicking off the tour.
Starting today (6/18), fans can check out the contests page at www.CarnivalofMadness.com/contests to enter for a chance to take part in the Hangout and chat with their favorite bands.
Those who dont win will still be able to join in and watch the Hangout live at www.carnivalofmadness.com.
The Hangouts will take place: Thursday, June 21 with NEW MEDICINE, Thursday, June 28 with CAVO, Thursday, July 12 with HALESTORM, Thursday, July 19 with CHEVELLE and a date TBA with EVANESCENCE. Exact times and further details will be posted at www.carnivalofmadness.com.

"Pretty good stuff. I used homemade Italian bread crumbs and fresh ground Parmesan cheese for added zing."
"Yummy! I hadn't made Hog-Rotten potatoes since my kids were little.
Good stuff, just the right amount of firmness to the potatoes."
"Pretty good stuff! I had to make a few minor changes to the crumbs since I ran out of home made breadcrumbs. I ended up using about 1/3 pack of crushed saltines.
With the leftovers I added cream of mushroom soup and baked at 350�F for about 40 minutes."
"Outstanding!I've used it not only with Chicken strips but also with chicken livers.Usually I deep fry in vegetable oil but have alos used peanut oil.As long as I don't try to fry too long,(don't ask), they always come out great!Thanks!"

Fred M. Kemp, Sr. fell in love with the first Mercedes-Benz he ever bought. So he bought 40 more. Over the course of 30 years, his obsession created a collection of some of the rarest and most groundbreaking cars ever made. Upon his passing in 2004, he deeded his cars to the public for exhibition and education, founding the Kemp Auto Museum born to house his extensive collection.
Kemp's legacy includes one of Karl Benz's patent Motorwagens, which captivated the public's imagination when Mrs. Benz drove the device 112 miles to visit her mother in 1888. At the other end of the spectrum sits the 1960 Mercedes 220SE Cabriolet, whose 134-horsepower fuel-injected engine could have ferried Mrs. Benz to her mother's house in about an hour. Visitors can take either docent-led or audio tours to see the standing exhibit, or catch one of the touring special exhibits, featuring classic cars such as department-store Crosleys and classic engines such as Fred Flintstone's feet.
In the pantheon of American explorers, there are few names as revered as Lewis and Clark. After securing the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson needed someone to map out the newly doubled national borders. The two U.S. Army officers were the men for the job. They set out into the great unknown in May of 1804, and except for the one Cracker Barrel they stopped at mid-journey, St. Charles was the last familiar piece of America they knew until their return trip in 1806.
As a testament to their momentous voyage, the Lewis & Clark Boat House & Nature Center houses full-scale replicas of the explorers' boats, half-scale 18th and 19th century buildings, and displays about the Native Americans that Lewis and Clark met along the way. Outside its walls, the museum also gives visitors a glimpse into the ecosystems that the pair explored. Visitors can walk on trails through the woods and wetlands to find herons, deer, and indigenous plants.
Though built as a private home in 1901, the Victorian mansion stood vacant for years?until its first children's hands-on exhibits opened to the public more than 30 years ago. Since then, The Magic House's curators have worked to engage children of all ages in learning and creative thought through a range of interactive multimedia exhibits. Their exhibits enable visitors to service cars, climb treehouse ladders, and go fishing in a child-centric community, or play with pumps and pipes in a waterworks playground. They can also climb a three-story fairy-tale beanstalk or use detective skills, fingerprint analyses, and secret passageways to solve mysteries.
Museum staffers also organize a range of themed birthday parties, during which attendees play and complete special tasks as time travelers, scientists, or fairy-tale nobility. Family programs encompass monthly visits from outside professional artists, and special events designed to get the whole family moving. Visitors can refuel for exploration at the on-site Picnic Basket Cafe, whose menu highlights whole grains and healthy ingredients.
Laclede's Landing Wax Museum has been scaring and astonishing sightseers since 1983. Behind its 1885 cast-iron façade, the museum harbors more than 200 life-size figures across five levels and 10,000 square feet of museum space. The display of doppelgangers includes presidents, superheroes, historic figures, and movie stars, allowing visitors to gaze upon scores of famous faces without taking the rigorous paparazzi entrance exam. In the Chamber of Horrors, fictional villains old and new, including Freddy Krueger and the Phantom of the Opera, test the mettle of onlookers. Patrons can stop by the museum's gift shop before leaving or replenish the energy spent arguing with the statues with the help of ice cream, hot dogs, and other snacks at the ice-cream parlor.
Something new is always happening at Saint Louis Science Center, where hundreds of staff members and volunteers ignite visitors? passion for science and technology with educational exhibitions and special events. The center houses a four-story Omnimax Theater, a hands-on life-science lab and atrium, and a variety of constantly changing exhibitions that draw 1.2 million visitors every year. More than 9,000 stars revolve around the 80-foot domed ceiling of the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, whose two levels of exhibits explore the future of space travel, life on the international space station, or Pluto?s bureaucratic search to regain planetary status.
The Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry traces its roots back to 1967, during the centennial celebration of Alaska becoming a territory of the US. At this time, it exhibited only six retired railroad cars that served as troop carriers during World War II and formed the Centennial Train, a traveling historical exhibit. Today, nearly 50 years later, the museum stays put at its 20-acre location that includes a train yard and an exhibit hall, where the staff collects, conserves, and restores artifacts relating to the state's industrial history.

One of my favorite ways to break away from being boring with my clothes is by mixing prints. A trend that's been around for quite some time now, pairing your favorite patterned bottoms with your favorite patterned tops is even easier now that's we're into fall. Printed pants are a personal favorite of mine, as it gives you a chance to be bold and playful. Rock those with simple tops of polka dots and stripes and you're set to take on this mixed style!

RE: fabrication soon...what do i need to know? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: williamsem on 07.27.2013 at 12:02 am in Kitchens Forum I had a whole list based on the bad experiences here! The guy was so nice, and was a little confused as to why I asked about some things that he considered standard.
-What is there tolerance for gaps at the wall or cabinet? He also discussed cleaning, sealing, and general care with me since I have never had granite before. My place used a luan template, and it came out fantastic. No space at the walls, and I almost thought the range wouldn't fit, but it was perfectly sized. NOTES: <none>

Reveal of our smallish white and gray kitchen
posted by: erhm on 04.06.2013 at 08:12 pm in Kitchens Forum I've been hanging out here for a few months and have learned a lot. Plus I always love seeing what other folks have done and I adore the pictures of newly renovated kitchens. We are now done with our remodel so I thought I'd return the favor! Here goes.
The old kitchen had a bunch of issues: not enough storage or countertop space, no ventilation, peeling paint on the cabinets, hideous vinyl floor, and stained butcher block countertops. There was a bunch of unused space in the eating area--we stuck our microwave and recycling bins in this area: Although the old kitchen had a number of issues,we found the layout to be reasonably functional (given the constraints of the house--it's a 1935 brick colonial with a 1970's-era addition on the back). We did not have the budget or the patience for a major remodel that would involve an addition and/or moving walls around, and we generally like the layout of the rest of the house. So we decided to keep the basic floorplan while replacing everything and making some changes around the edges. We added shallow lower cabinets and a strip of countertop to the wasted space in the eating area, with open shelving above. We added an externally vented hood and switched to a wood floor that matches the rest of the flooring on the first floor of the house. We went with two big lower drawers instead of cabinets for pot and pan storage. Here are some pictures of the new kitchen--I'll list all the details at the end. Counters: Caesarstone Raven We are very happy with the end result. I'm particularly pleased with how all the colors came together. We LOVE the new backsplash. I had seen a few pictures online of how the tile looked installed, but it's hard to envision in your own space with just a single sample tile. The tile is a greenish gray that varies depending on how the light hits it. It's actually uniform in color, but it appears variegated because of the light effect. It has a little bit of shimmer but isn't too showy. I had originally thought we would go for gray paint on the walls, but our dining room is painted green so I started looking at grays with some green in them, and we ultimately ended up with paint that is green with a gray overtone (Spring Melt from Martha Stewart at Home Depot). The pictures don't do it justice, but it coordinates really well with the backsplash and I find it really soothing. I also really love our new hood--going from no ventilation to this is a huge improvement! The Zephyr Savona is a chimney-style hood but it has a rounded edge that makes it a little sleeker looking. Based on everything I've learned over the last few months it seems like a lot of what we did is right in line with current trends (quartz counters, white cabinets, some open shelving, farmhouse sink), but we love it so I'm not too concerned about it looking dated in a few years. Plus we are planning to stay in this house for years to come, so no worries about resale. Let me know if you have any questions. I benefited so much from seeing and hearing about others' decisions--would be happy to help if I can! NOTES: backsplash

finished kitchen pics -and i need a backsplash
posted by: kateskouros on 04.15.2013 at 03:00 pm in Kitchens Forum i'm sorry it's take so long. the stress of the build left me exhausted to the point where i really didn't care. there are so many things wrong with the house that it's hard to find the joy it was supposed to bring. so many problems, too many to list. you can see i am still missing window mullions in the kitchen, closer to the range -as well as other parts of the house. our central vac doesn't work at all, and we also discovered that our hide a hoses weren't installed. if they are ever to be utilized at all, the walls will have to be torn open in order to properly route them to the system in the garage. but since i am making a go of life without the aid of anti depressants or other mood altering pharmaceuticals, let's focus on the good.
excuse the dirty windows. i haven't had much luck locating a reliable person to clean them. i'd like to get romans for the windows, just as soon as i decide on a settee and upholstery for the adjoining breakfast room. please also forgive the missing pot filler at the range wall. waiting for backsplash install to put it up. baking center, open. it's kept open most of the time in the evening since dh likes to sit at the island with his computer and watch tv. i don't like this arrangement at all since i end up closing it up every. single. night. and since it's open most of the time, it also gets pretty dusty. i plan to remove everything on the shelves and replace with my cookbooks instead. this is the fridge/freezer wall. when i started to design the layout this wall was to house the baking center and a wet bar. being as we don't drink -and already planned for a second sink in the island, i nixed the bar and began to rethink the space and revised the drawings -six or seven more times until i came up with this solution. it works very well. this is the open position showing microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker. breakfast room is also shown here. the breakfast room. planning on linen drapes here, along with an upholstered settee -and maybe switching out one of the benches for a couple of chairs. it's a work in progress. the day after the remodel in our old house was complete, i swore i'd have two dishwashers in the new place. sometimes i think i should have gone for three. and never let it be said that i did a lot of careful planning. behold this. i am contemplating having a door type thing made to hide this mess, that will open out and up -by those side hinge thingys. i don't know. i kind of like it open. it's a matter of deciding what i would hate more. i need seven more cookie jars and lots of salt and pepper shakers to fill my collection spaces. if you care to send a gift, just let me know and i'll send my address. no? well, you can fault a girl for trying. as far as the backsplash goes, anna c. is visiting me on thursday (!) and will accompany me to the tile store. i definitely need some hand holding here. i really don't feel like making a very costly mistake. i'd like to stick with whites, either marble or porcelain ...if i knew, it would be done already. help!

Cardiff University has established a research and development partnership with a company which manufactures next-generation solar technology.
The partnership will allow Cardiff-based G24 Innovations Limited (G24i) to access world-leading facilities and consultancy at the Cardiff School of Engineering.
G24i's Dye Sensitised Thin Film combines innovative material science and nanotechnology to generate renewable power in a process similar to photosynthesis. The technology is expected to make solar energy a viable renewable energy option for the first time for a range of new industries and geographies.
Dr Anthony Giles, Cardiff School of Engineering, said: "The Centre for Energy, Waste and the Environment at Cardiff School of Engineering has a long and successful history of engaging with industry at all levels, from local SMEs to multinational corporations.
"We are delighted to be working with such a dynamic company in the renewable energy sector, assisting G24i in realising their technological and business goals."
The School of Engineering will assist G24i in understanding the lifetime of new products. Chemical analysis will be used to ensure the quality of the final product and assess alternative materials.
Clemens Betzel, president of G24i, said, "We are looking forward to working with Cardiff University's School of Engineering. The School's collaborative approach and reputation as one of the UK's leading engineering centres has impressed us greatly.
"While G24i has significant research and development capabilities focusing on the production of dye sensitised modules, the test and measurement expertise and unique facilities at the University will help us to achieve rapid product development in specific areas."
