This will be my first year trying sfg. I made my first box over the weekend and plan to make the second one, fill both, and plant this weekend. Both will consist of vegetables. I'd love to have a bed of iris'. Would the bulbs survive our zone 5 winter in a raised bed? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would say yes. Just choose cultivars that are hardy to at least zone 3 or 4. I would be sure to cover them with mulch once the ground starts to freeze in the winter and remove it in the Spring. You don't want them to rot. Irises are pretty tough. I would suggest planting them no more than one per square foot since they spread pretty quickly. Kim |

Agreed with Kim. And you'll likely have to divide more often if in a raised bed. Dan |

Very nice kitchen! It's beautiful overall, but what really took my breath away was your eating/breakfast nook and that view! What a wonderful space you've created! |

marciab 10, I love your kitchen and I think mine will end up looking a lot like yours. Is the trimwork in the surrounding areas knotty alder? Do you remember the stain color? Also, how do you like your GE Monogram appliances? I have purchased the same ones except I went with the 48 inch frig and I am also going to have the advantium. Do you like your Danze bridge faucet? What about the walnut countertop? I have 6 kids and wonder if a wood countertop would hold up. |

I am just starting my kitchen. Your kitchen is the look I am going for. It is gorgeus. Would you mind emailing me better pictures. jojojohnston@comcast. The last part of address is not com but net. Not sure if we can ask for this but Oh well thanks. I would be truly grateful. I am torn between granite and wood on my island. |
Haven't checked here in awhile~ glad I did michellemarie- Our trim is all knotty alder. I went and looked for the stain, it was a dark walnut stain. I am very happy with all the appliances. My only two regrets, I still regret. The fridge isn't that big a deal, but I really don't like the low microwave. I didn't want the Danze bridge faucet. I liked the look, but thought it would be a pain to clean around. DH won that decision. No big deal to clean around. Glad we got it.(don't tell him though ~ (: The walnut countertop is pretty durable. Just have to remember not to put anything hot on it, like we can on granite. I don't think I'd like it in my whole kitchen, but for the island I love the way it looks. Good luck! Will be looking forward to your pictures. jojo, I will email you a link to better pictures |
Absolutely beautiful kitchen,exceptional finishes and attention to detail. |

This is a really old thread, but I found it when I was going through my bookmark bar and I just wanted to say: I love your kitchen. It is beautiful, and your home looks stunning. Love the floor, the beams, your cabinets, everything! My new home/kitchen are completed, but your kitchen was one I had saved for "inspiration". I hope you are still enjoying the fruits of your labor:) |

Congratulations on turning a difficult time with your cabinet debacle into a fabulous and beautiful kitchen! It makes me less worried that at some point my new reno we'll be finished and hopefully have a finished kitchen as beautiful as yours. |

The Harper government has made changes to CPP, and are raising the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security. Meanwhile private savings in RRSPs are losing value and come with expensive administration fees. Canadians have more reason to be concerned about their pensions and retirement security than ever before. We are fighting in Ottawa for Canadian seniors, and we need an informed public to help stand up and demand fairness for Canadian seniors.

Hello! I've been lurking for awhile and enjoy your creative ideas! I could really use some input please! I scored a nice pitcher and bowl set at the Salvation Army today. I want to use them in the garden as a birdbath, or maybe planter (any suggestions for other uses welcomed!) Somebody had done a re-paint on them, and the paint is chipping off. Underneath is a lovely high gloss white with blue flecks. Any ideas how to get the botched paint job off without damaging the finish underneath? I am soooo new at this its not funny! I tried scrubbing off some of the paint, but could see that it was scratching the finish underneath so I stopped.
Help, Please?? :D Karen from NC (aka ksues) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would be tempted to try a small spot of paint remover. The porcelain glaze is baked in, so I wouldn't think it would hurt it any? I truly don't know though. I would try a small hidden spot to see how it goes. Nice find! |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer 8a TX (My Page) on Sat, Jul 16, 11 at 23:54
Hi, ksues The pitcher has a pretty shape and detail, nice find. It have been glazed and fired so washing the paint off shouldn't scratch it. Maybe it was sanded or scratched so the paint would stick or the glaze finish was already damaged in some way. Hard to say without seeing it in person of course. The original finish is pretty, so hope you can bring it back. It looks like latex paint so try paint remover in an inconspicuous spot. The bowl is quite deep for a birdbath. Even if you just put a little water in it, small birds would be at risk down in there and probably wouldn't go in. If you don't want to drill a hole in the bowl for a planter, you could put succulents for a very dry garden and water very lightly. It might work best to use it on a porch as a display piece filled with flowers. |
Try using steel wool size number 0000. I use it on a lot of things that I don't want to scratch. It is very fine.... |
- Posted by marlene_2008 7 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 17, 11 at 9:45
Welcome Ksues! Glad to have you join us here! You really did score a nice pitcher and bowl set! I too would try the fine steel wool first....you might also try just washing it first with a strong ammonia solution. I've had that just peel paint off of things...sometimes unintentionally. If neither of those work, you could try a heat gun....on low setting to bubble the paint off. (If you aren't familiar with them, they look like big hair dryers and you can get them at Lowe's or even on Amazon) As for the use of the pitcher and bowl....it is a little deep for a birdbath, but you can always put stones or glass globs in the bottom to help shallow it up some. You could also use the pitcher with a recirculating pump and have the water pouring into the bowl. Good luck and let us see what you come up with! We love pictures! |
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions, both for paint removal and uses of the pitcher and bowl! Marlene, I LOVE the idea of the fountain using the recirculating pump. I may have to research that one further! As for the paint removal, I found half of a spray can of varnish/paint remover in the shed. I figured I would go for broke since I would only be out $5 if it took the glaze off too. It worked wonderfully and didn't damage the glaze at all! Underneath, the bowl is white with baby blue specks and a pretty baby blue edge around the rim of the bowl! There are no cracks or crazing anywhere! I am so excited! I used all of the can of paint remover and will be sending DH to Lowe's to get some more so I can finish the job. I can't wait to see how it all turns out! I will post pics when I get it finished! |

Updated 11:43 p.m.
PROVIDENCE — For his final state-of-the-state address, Governor Chafee focused on familiar themes that seemed to resonate with state lawmakers, even if they acknowledged afterward that their work will focus not on the governor's big-picture presentation but on the details.
Lawmakers applauded Chafee no less than 37 times during his 29-minute address, showing approval for his claims of progress and success on issues such as job creation and the opening of a state health-care exchange, as well as plans to support education, the environment and economic development.
The address — Chafee's first to lawmakers since he changed his affiliation from independent to Democrat and then announced that he will not seek reelection — saw the 60-year-old governor supporting the causes and priorities he has championed before.
He biggest focus may have been education, which he called a "great equalizer" — one that can "help close an equality gap" and ensure that all Rhode Islanders, in an increasingly diverse state, have a chance of success. To that end, he said the $8.5-billion budget he proposed Wednesday provides an additional $38 million to local schools, as well as $10 million to pay for a second year of tuition freezes at state colleges.
He also spoke of improving the state's infrastructure and taking steps to make New England and eastern Canada the "low-cost, green-energy capital of North America." And he unveiled a plan to reduce the state's corporate tax from 9 percent to 6 percent should Congress pass the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would allow states to collect sales taxes from on-line retailers and other remote sellers.
"There is no question that this has been a difficult period for Rhode Island, but we are poised to emerge from it more resilient than before," a confident-sounding Chafee said. "Rhode Island is getting stronger with each day, each week, and each year — that is the state of our state. And if we continue to follow a steady, deliberate, compassionate course, avoiding short-term decisions and quick fixes, the coming year will once again be better than the last."
Lawmakers and state officials applauded that comment, as they did when he said the state has added 11,100 jobs since he took office, and applauded again — with laughter — as he quoted not a historical figure, as he is known to do, but pop singer Taylor Swift, who owns an oceanfront home in Westerly.
"When asked about her new part-time home state," Chafee said, "she had this to say: 'I've been in Rhode Island a lot … Man, Rhode Island's a good place. It's a really good place.'"
Afterward, legislative leaders said the response may have been partly due to the fact that 2014 will be Chafee's last year in office.
But they also praised his speech.
"I think he sounded some very good themes tonight," said House Speaker Gordon D. Fox. "The state of the state is about vision, it's about hope."
Still, Fox said sounding the right themes means nothing in terms of how lawmakers will deal with Chafee's budget proposal.
"He's given the highlights tonight, the budget as you know is a huge thick document, and there's a lot more in this budget that needs to be reviewed," he said.
Even with all the applause, some were openly critical.
Rep. Jan P. Malik, D-Warren, who chairs a commission that is looking at reducing or eliminating the state sales tax, said he was disappointed that Chafee focused instead on the corporate tax.
The state chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses said it, too, was "mostly disappointed" by the address.
"Governor Chafee's proposals nibble around the edges without ever addressing the real problems in this state and that's disappointing to the small-business owners who were hoping for some direction," said Bill Vernon, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business.
After concluding with his Taylor Swift comment, Chafee left the rostrum in the House chamber and shook hands with many state officials and lawmakers, who gave him a standing ovation.
This story was initially published at 7:03 p.m.

Anyone building a house with a basement? Can you share your plans on how to make it waterproof?
We know nothing about basements. This is going to be our first experience with a basement. Our previous homes were all on slab. So we're really nervous about basement leaks. I read a lot of horror stories out there. Please educate me. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Mon, Oct 24, 11 at 13:42
we just did this with our home and had it sprayed and then a thick layer of what looks like insulation was tacked on. this product is made of many thin layers of material. i'll ask my husband for details, but apparently it's the best way to go. good luck! |
threeapples... I'll be waiting for more info. Was it poured concrete or concrete blocks? Thanks! |
There are 3 separate things to consider: 1. The natural water table. Groundwater levels vary seasonally and from year to year. It is important to build the basement floor level higher than the highest level of the water table. If this is not possible, an inside sump and dewatering system is essential. Water will inevitably enter the basement if the surrounding ground water table rises above the floor level. It is VERY important to learn about the natural groundwater table before you do anything else. 2. Perimeter drains and waterproofing. French drains around the perimeter of the foundation must be built properly with perforated pipe, porous granular drain rock, and geotextile fabric, to collect liquid water while filtering sediments. Additionally, the exterior of the foundation must be coated with multiple layers of asphaltic emulsion to make a waterproof membrane. 3. Surface drainage- the grade outside the home should slope away from the foundation on all sides. The downspouts from the roof shall be diverted into the storm drain system, or into solid pipes discharging at least several feet away from the foundation. If research indicates the groundwater table is ever at or above the level of your basement floor, you need to design a dewatering system for INSIDE the basement walls. A perforated pipe around the inside perimeter of the foundation, under the slab, some weep holes, a sump pit in one corner, might be a necessary secondary drainage system, if the water table is high. |
Better yet, if the ground water is regularly at or above the level of your basement floor, drop the idea of a basement. Or have one that is designed to resist hydrostatic pressures rather than dewatering it from the inside. If the groundwater is well below the level of the basement, there are a number of typical waterproofing methods, such as the combination of an elastomeric coating and glass fibre /rock wool insulating/drainage boards mentioned by threeapples above. Other common methods include: applying a bubble plastic membrane, such as Platon, which may also be used in conjunction with an elastomeric coating; roll or spray applied crystalline waterproofing, such as Kryton Krystal, also in conjunction with a plastic membrane; and adhesive applied membranes. Photo: Armtec If the native soil is high-content clay, a free-flowing backfill may also be used. In most, but not all conditions, an external drain covered in at least two feet of freeflowing gravel is recommended or mandated. Any competent builder should know of the appropriate solutions used in your area. |

Tuff and dry is what we used and from the research we did it seems to be one of the best systems out there |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Tue, Nov 15, 11 at 8:22
Aidan has it correct. The one crucial thing is to be sure the water can and does get away from the house easily before it gets up to the basement floor level. If that is the case, then all the other good waterproofing will help minimize moisture migrating though the walls. If the water level gets higher than the floor, the basement will have water in it. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 15, 11 at 12:57
TUFF-N-DRI (H8, XTS, or AF) is a Tremco 40 mil thick modified bitumen (rubberized asphalt) waterproofing membrane that is cold spray applied to the exterior of poured-in-place concrete basement walls. In my area it has been the most cost effective method since the early 80's. A porous board is usually placed over the membrane to allow water to drain to the footing drain system, to protect the membrane from damage from backfill and to provide thermal insulation. That material can be anything from rigid fiberglass (Warm-N-Dri from Owens Corning or Barrier Board by Tremco) to rigid plastic foam with grooves to plastic waffle sheets or a combination of materials. Tremco makes a drainage board (Drain Star Z-Drain) that solves the problem of drainage over the edge of the footing. They also make a perimeter drain system (DrainStar Stripdrain) that eliminates the need for gravel and filter fabric. Don't confuse "waterproofing" systems with "dampproofing" systems. Damproofing will do little or nothing to keep a basement dry. Be very careful about using imitation products. The TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing System is installed only by contractors trained by Tremco. Tremco acquired the TUFF-N-DRI system when it bought Koch Waterproofing Solutions in 2003. |

Introduce the Closing with words such as:
Our approach to religious education is thoroughly rooted in our approach to religion itself. William Ellery Channing, whom we mentioned in Workshop 2 as a prominent spokesman for early Unitarianism, offered now well-known words that explain something of our approach to children's religious education. We can imagine, though, how they might apply to the entire lifespan. I invite you to join me in reading responsively Reading 652 in the hymnbook, "The Great End of Religious Instruction."
Lead the responsive reading. Extinguish the chalice.

The picture came about when my swift birdy self was flying up to dalaran. I have fond memories of the "falling game" that druids used to play in the center of shat. So I flew up to the very very highest precipice of dalaran, and landed on the ledge. I looked over the edge. Woo boy, was I high up! After taking some pretty pictures, I noticed something that was kind of sort of important...I was counted as being within Dalaran, and thus, my flight form and flying mounts were disabled.
Needless to say, jumping from that ledge and furiously clicking the flight form button was a terrifying experience. :)

Thanks to multiple advocacy groups and unanimous support from the city council, an unprecedented law took effect that could help save our local Anacostia River. As of January 1, Washingtonians will pay 5 cents per plastic bag. While this… Read more »

Looking for pepper recommendations for market growing. Specifically looking for large stuffing bell varieties, open pollinated only (no hybrids or GMO), hearty plants with good production numbers, from green to yellow to orange and red varieties. First hand growing experience from anyone is better than picking one from a picture in a catalog. Thanks. |

King Of The North is my favorite. I like Purple Beauty but it's small. It turns from green to purple to bright red. I like Staddon's but it doesn't always produce well here because of our weather. Certain strains of Chocolate are excellent. I get mine from Fedco because I can count on the strain they offer to produce well. |
- Posted by jayreynolds zone 6/7 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 10, 06 at 21:51
I really find that hybrids do best. Great luck with Fat& sassy for a red bell, and great with golden summer for a yellow. This season I tried my first purple bell, used 'Tequila'(starts out purple, then ripens orange-red), and they were a customer stopper on the table. In a mixture with yellow and red, had great sales. |

adidas Women's 5" Squadra Soccer Shorts
I've owned at least 20 pairs of these shorts in black, navy, and royal blue. They're really light and comfortable. The only complaint I have is how fast they get old! After 2 washes, threads on them get pulled and they have all these weird strings and lines, and it's exceedingly annoying. I really wish the quality was better.
January 19, 2015
great shorts
they are light & easy to wash...AND LOVE THE COLOR
December 28, 2014
Comfortable and cool
I am not a soccer player, but I took a chance that these shorts would suit my needs. The fabric is lightweight, washes well, and hang dries quickly. Due to medical conditions, I am always hot and usually sweaty, even in 100% cotton shorts. These shorts breathe nicely and really do seem to make moisture disappear. I feel like I'm barely wearing shorts at all.
Being designed for soccer, the legs are roomy and not binding. The elastic waistband is secure but not uncomfortable and the drawstring really isn't needed if you aren't playing sports.They are very comfortable to wear for housework, dog walking, the treadmill and even just sitting around at the computer or watching tv.
Goodbye cotton shorts! I will buy these again.
December 15, 2014

November 3, 2014
I love these shorts!
Great shorts. Light weight and just a little bit longer. Very slenderizing. My only complaint is that there is no pocket. Not even an inside one.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife. | 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. |
2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. | 2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this? |
3 For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment | 3 Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present. |
4 in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, | 4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, |
5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. | 5 hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. |
6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? | 6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? |
7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. | 7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. |
8 Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. | 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. |
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; | 9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- |
10 not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. | 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. |
11 But rather I wrote to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber--not even to eat with such a one. | 11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. |
12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? | 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? |

Like any laptop owner, the screen on your Macbook, Sony, HP, Toshiba, or whatever laptop you have is often too small for one task or another, which means you will eventually want to plug it into an external monitor. More often that not, when a laptop is connected to an external monitor it will display a blurry, fuzzy, stretched (the edges are cut off) or otherwise screen. Recently I had this problem with a MacBook Pro, and Acer, and a Sony Viao Laptop, and each had a different solution which I hope can help you with your screen issues. The solutions are ordered easiest to more difficult (and costly).
1.) For any screen issues you have it is best to first check your cable connections to both the laptop and screen. Loose connections can cause lines, blurriness, and other visual artifacts on the screen. Make sure the cables are completely pushed into the connectors and don't wiggle around.
2.) Blurry, Fuzzy Screen – On Windows, right click on the desktop and choose "Screen Resolution". In the drop down box entitled "Resolution:" make sure it is selecting the "Recommended" screen resolution, usually 1920×1080 for bigger external screens. You may want to try several different resolutions if 1920×1080 is not an option. The higher the resolution, the more clear and smaller items will appear on screen.
3.) Lines Appear Onscreen In Waves – This is usually caused by noise from the power supply. Check to make sure your cables connecting the screen to the laptop are not near power cables. Try unplugging the power cable from the laptop, do the waves disappear? If so, skip to step 4.
4.) If the above steps have not solved your problem it is best to try another connection to the screen. If you are using a VGA cable, try a DVI or HDMI connection to the screen. VGA is an analog signal, whereas DVI and HDMI are digital, and such noise should not affect the picture quality. In the case of my MacBook Pro, I purchased a 3rd party cable that was supposed to have gone from display port to HDMI directly (and for $8), but it didn't fit my screen correctly, it was cut off on all sides. I ended up purchasing (see photo below) the official Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter MB570Z/A, and the Cables Unlimited HDMI to DVI Cable which solved the problem perfectly. The Sony Viao needed the same Cables Unlimited HDMI to DVI Cable to solve the fuzzy screen problem (see the photo below).
If the simple screen resolution settings in Windows XP/7 or Mac OS do not work, switching cables often seems to be the best remedy. Be sure to check for updates for your graphics card and adjust settings inside the graphics card software if the colors or contrast are off. If you are still having problems, leave a comment below, or send Plazor an email and we'll be happy to try and assist you.

Along with my sinuses hurting, my head, neck and shoulders hurt. I can also feel it in my back teeth. Can a sinus infection be that far reaching? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes. A friend of mine has chronic sinusitis and he says lately when it starts it hurts his upper teeth first. That doesn't mean the infection is there, just all connected nerves I guess. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Wed, May 24, 06 at 22:37
Are you taking any medication? I know those sinus infections can hurt! |
I have Claritin-D 12 hour(24-hour knocks me out) and Flonase (from my last doctor visit). I plan to take it easy this weekend. |
cheerful1 I suffered for decades. Sinus pain can be debilitating. I tried every pill and spray out there. If I wasn't in pain, I was fuzzy. I recently discovered a 100% natural product that has completey stoped my sinus problems. I am no longer on medication. I can think clearly again. I am no longer in pain and I dont wake up with swolen eyes. Please e mail me. email@example.com Lisa |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Thu, May 25, 06 at 22:23
Neither one of those medications are for sinus INFECTION. You need to see your doctor for something else. Both will reduce swelling due to allergic reaction, but you need something, probably an antibiotic to get to the bacteria before it spreads into nearby areas. |
Do a Goggle search for sinus infections and antifungals - there are some doctors who have had great success treating recurrent sinus infections with oral antifungals. Ignore Lisa - she is trying to sell her stuff on all the forums. |
Now that is just down right untrue lydia. What is up with you people on this forum? I have suffered from chronic sinus problems for years and years, and that is EXACTLY why I tried the product I am taking. This forum is for people who are having problems and would like suggestions, not for people to bash those that have found things that really help. I have never run into such a bunch of rude negative people in my life. I will state one last time!!! I have NOT given ANY information to ANYBODY that would send them directly to me to proffit. I WONT DO THAT! So why don't you all just get off my back. I am ONLY here because I have found R E L I E F ! I would like to share what I have found with people in pain! I have plenty of ways to market, but the Garden Web Forums is NOT one of them. And are you on the forums I am on? How the heck would I try to sell this on the Birding forums where I hang out? You should know what you are talking about before you start accusing people. This is the ONLY forum I have mentioned ANYTHING about Xango on because it is the HEALTH forum and I am TRYING to HELP. I dont see how it is going to help on a birding or wildlife forum. Those are the forums that interest me (now don't you look silley) I came in this one for one reason only, and that was to share what has helped me! I DO NOT TAKE SINUS /ALLERGEY MEDICATION ANYMORE. I DO NOT SUFFER SINUS PAIN ANYMORE. I cant share this with people who suffer? WHY? For crying out loud I am a resource coordinator for elderly and disabled people, I HELP people, thats what I do! Wanna know how many people I have helped get free medications on line in my spare time NO CHARGE! People I don't even know! Nothing in it for me but to know I HELPED someone! Go find a mean person to pick on. You are barking up the WRONG TREE! Lisa |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Sun, Jun 4, 06 at 7:10
Lisa, she said that she had an INFECTION. You do know that untreated INFECTIONS can be dangerous, don't you??? Since you state that you had sinus problems for years, I doubt that you had an infection.. And no one is forcing you to post here. If you don't like the reaction you get, I suggest that you move on to other forums. Sooner or later, someone will take you advice and their condition will get worse instead of better. I hope you are prepared to face that possibility. |
UM I dont know that she has been diagnosed with a sinus INFECTION. If that is what she has of course she will have to see a DR to get rid of the infection. But the meds she is on does not indicate an infection. (you already pointed that out) Then dare I asume that you are a MD. qualified to diagnose things on the internet? The next post talks about cronic sinusitus, a real problem, been there done that. Many times led to a sinus INFECTION. I am talking about ending cronic sinus problems, NOT treating an infection. That would require a MD. Let me ask you Agnes and Lydia, have you suffered from chronic sinusitus? Have you got any idea how it can seriously disrupt your life? Have you done any research into what I am trying to share? Do you believe that some people can come in here to share ..just because they are good people wanting to share??? It is redicolus that I should be worried that someone may take my advise! Agnes seems to post here with advise all the time! I don't know if it is good or bad advise. I guess she is prepared to face the possibilities of her advise. I will just say this , I KNOW sinus pain, I am SO thankful to not suffer anymore! To your HEALTH! Lisa |
This weekend I had a lot of lightheadedness. I'm almost sure it's an infection. The earliest appointment I could get with my regular doctor is June 19. I hate waiting so long, but I'm not in horrendous shape as I was a couple of years ago when I ended up going to an Urgent Care facility. I'll find out what's up and let you know. Thanks to all for your input. |
I get sinus infections when the season changes unless I do a sinus lavage with warm water and sea salt. I'm unsure of how to get rid of an infection without antibiotics. I can tell you some symptoms that may or may not help you. When I have a sinus infection I have yucky green snot with blood. I also have aching pain in my upper, back teeth, sore throat from drainage, and lots of pressure. When it gets bad I can smell the infection. Sorry to gross you out but thats my symptoms. My neice just had a horrible sinus infection but her symptoms where different than mine. She had horrible pain and pressure without conjestion and drainage. |
I have a really wicked headache today. I feel it in my head, neck and teeth. I live on Long Island, and the remnants of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Hanna is on its way here. I was wondering if there's a connection between humidity/barometric pressure and sinus problems? |
I would seriously think about nasal irrigation. You should implement nasal irrigation into your daily routine for the best results. You can read more about nasal irrigation at this website http://infectionsnomore.blogspot.com/ |

- Thousand Needles Map
Thousand Needles is a primarily horde leveling zone for players level 25-35, although there are some neutral quests available to both factions in the Shimmering Flats to the south.
- Thousand Needles Entrance from the Barrens
The entrance to Thousand Needles for leveling players can be found at the southern end of the Barrens.
- Barrens elevators
Players can access the canyon via two large elevators at the Barrens entrance. These are guarded by Horde, so Alliance characters may need to be careful when approaching.
- Thousand Needles Galak messenger
Most of the quests involving Thousand Needles are for Horde, including one that starts off of a drop from this Galak messenger - a centaur that runs a path by the elevators.
- Whitereach Post
The assassination note dropped from the Galak messenger will lead you here. It seems Kanati Greycloud is the subject of an assassination plot by the Galak centaur.
- Splithoof Crag and Hold
Much like the Horde, the Galak centaur native to the area have two encampments - Splithoof Crag, which opens into Splithoof Hold via the cave entrance shown...
- Camp E'thok
...and Camp E'thok, a much smaller camp to the northwest. Whitereach Post is often at odds with Camp E'thok, and it's not just the tauren that are threatened.
- Camp E'thok - wrecked caravan
A goblin named Wizlo Bearingshiner has a quest to retrieve a key for one of his gizmos. The centaur of Camp E'thok attacked and captured his caravan -- and the panther that was guarding the gizmo.
- Thousand Needles - Feralas entrance
Farther to the northwest, players will find the entrance into Feralas, a level 40-50 zone. Alliance can find a flightpath at this entrance as well.
- Darkcloud Pinnacle
Danger doesn't just lurk below - the Grimtotem tribe of tauren have made their home high above the canyon floor on Darkcloud Pinnacle. This area is accessible via a series of narrow paths and bridges up the rock spires.
- Darkcloud Pinnacle, main village
It's here, high above the rest of the zone, that the Grimtotem clan corresponds with unknown dark powers.
- Darkcloud Pinnacle hot springs
Far below the peaks of Darkcloud Pinnacle lies a small hot spring. Overrun with water elementals, this is the only location in the zone that contains water.
- Darkcloud Pinnacle pyre
Once this pyre is lit, it will summon the windserpent Arikara. Arikara used to have a smoke-filled summoning animation, making her one of the few unique hunter pets in the game.
- Arnak Grimtotem
The leader of the Grimtotem tribe, Arnak Grimtotem, is both the subject of a quest, and the captor of Lakota Windsong.
- Highperch
Across the canyon from Darkcloud Pinnacle is Highperch, also accessible via a narrow rock path. Highperch is the breeding grounds for wyverns that inhabit the area.
- Highperch captive
Pao'ka Swiftmountain, a tauren explorer, managed to get himself stranded atop Highperch, and players are able to accept a quest to escort him safely back down.
- Highperch
A shot of the trees and a wyvern soaring overhead in Highperch.
- Freewind Post
Freewind Post is the major Horde settlement in Thousand Needles, and contains the only flight path for Horde players.
- Freewind Post
Perched high atop the rock formations, much like their Grimtotem enemies, the tauren of Freewind Post offer plenty of quests to keep players busy.
- Freewind Post elevators
There are two ways to reach Freewind Post - a series of paths and bridges that are somewhat difficult to traverse, or the much simpler option of taking the elevator up.
- Windbreak Canyon
Windbreak Canyon is the home for the windserpents native to the area -- just southeast of Freewind Posts, players will want to look here for the Alien Egg.
- The Weathered Nook
Nestled into the canyon walls near Freewind Post, the Weathered Nook is home to Prate Cloudseer, and Dorn Plainstalker. Dorn will give Horde players an unforgettable series of quests to test their mettle.
- Test of Faith pinnacle
The first, Test of Faith, teleports players to the top of the pinnacle pictured. The quest? Leap off the wooden platform. It's a long way down...
- Test of Endurance, Screeching Canyon
The second quest, Test of Endurance, will send players to the Roguefeather Den in Screeching Canyon -- where the harpies of Thousand Needles make their home.
- Test of Strength -- Rok'Alim
The next quest in the chain has players seek out and test their strength against the rock elemental Rok'Alim, pictured here.
- Ironstone Camp
Traveling southeast from the Weathered Nook, the canyon walls of Thousand Needles abruptly open up into the Shimmering Flats. Ironstone Camp is a small Horde outpost at the edge of the Flats.
- Shimmering Flats
The Shimmering Flats are barren of any water or vegetation. Once a lake, players can still find boat wreckage stranded in the barren sands of the Flats.
- Mirage Raceway
The Shimmering Flats are not empty, however -- the goblins and gnomes of nearby Tanaris found the flat, barren sands of the area perfect for constructing a raceway.
- Mirage Raceway
Races take place daily between the goblin and gnome tinkers of the flats, who use the races to test out their latest inventions -- and prove whether or not Goblin or Gnome engineering is superior.
- Mirage Raceway - Goblin side
The Raceway is split into two sides. One side features the often explosive tinkering of the goblin engineers...
- Mirage Raceway - Gnome side
While on the other side, the mechanically-minded gnomes tinker with their creations.
- Mirage Raceway sunset
The Mirage Raceway, while large, isn't the only part of the Shimmering Flats.
- Tahonda Ruins
Located to the south of the Raceway, the Tahonda Ruins were once home to tauren -- now overrun by basilisks.
- Rustmaul Dig Site
To the west of the ruins lies the Rustmaul Dig Site, an abandoned dwarven digsite. A raid of Horde hunters drove the dwarves away -- and then discovered the silithid hive located in the ruins.
- Rustmaul Dig Site -- silithid hive
This area is the first encounter players will have with the odd, cavernous hives of the Silithid.
- Shimmering Flats - Tanaris entrance
At the far south of the Shimmering Flats is the canyon entrance to the deserts of Tanaris -- and the entry point of an unlucky racer who blew himself through the canyon wall.

wakko What size is your home? Who performed the Man J? Do you know the software used to provide these numbers? Design temps both inside and outside used? I personally think the numbers are highly suspect. With that said, someone needs to run the Man J again and make a comparison. That would be my approach. It's difficult for me to believe that a homeowner could drop from a 4 ton down to a three ton and maintain AC cooling comfort level for Austin, Tx. Is this a HP system or AC with gas furnace? IMO |
I am not a professional, but I will share my opinion as to what this load calculation means to me. Your load calculation has cooling air flow (CFM) for each room. I don't have this on my Manual J calculation, so I am not sure how this is calculated. The report shows the total CFM is is 1,563. If you divide this number by 400 you get the the value 3.91. The general rule is you need to provide 400CFM of air flow for every ton of cooling. However the total cooling load is 30,889BTU. This is a little over 2.5 tons. I don't understand why the air flow has been calculated to be so high. This doesn't make sense to me. If this is a Manual J calculation then there should be summer and winter indoor and outdoor design temperatures. If it does not, then I would be suspicious of this calculations. Have the contractor explain the physics behind this calculation. |
The contractor performed the manual J. This will be a heatpump system. The contractor has been stating 4 tons and using the general rule of thumb here in austin with tonnage 600 sq ft /ton from the begining of our meetings. House is approxiamtely 2392 sq ft. hence the 4 ton. i'm feeling suspect with the design myself, but he keeps calling for a 4 ton. and even after an hour conversation with him finally said a 4ton evolution system is the best and the system will run at a 3 ton effectively being the same and the 4 ton will call for when needed on the hot days. Finally towards the end of negotiating, he did agree that a 3.5 ton is doable. from the page it looks like Nitek software, design temps were 100 outside 76 inside I'm thinking the tightness of the house is ach .35-.45 which is what austin energy requires. House has R30 in the attic. 2 story house on slab. |

My mother in law received this plant as a gift and was instructed to treat it like a bromeliad. That it is a pineapple. any suggestions on what variety? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow... drop-dead gorgeous bloom with a vivid red colored leaf blush! Wish I could help with a suggestion regarding the variety, but I couldn't even venture a guess. Does your mother-in-law know the location of where the plant originated from? It 'might' help to narrow down the list of possible varieties. This will be an interesting post to follow. |

GUWAHATI: Members of the All Assam Mid-Day Meal Workers' Union staged a demonstration in front of the directorate of elementary education at Kahilipara on Tuesday demanding that the government regularize their posts and increase their salaries. Thousands of members are likely to join the demonstration, which is scheduled to continue till Thursday.
Biren Sarma, a member of the union said, "There are around 1,00,305 mid-day meal workers across the state, but their salary is a meager Rs 1,000, which is also not regular. The state government is now planning to privatize the mid-day meal scheme and an NGO, Akshaya Patra will take up the entire programme."
"If this happens, many workers will stand a chance to lose their jobs and they do not have an alternative source of living. We want the government to look into the matter and give us a solution," Sarma added.
He said that almost 500 members from Kamrup, Sonitpur and Jorhat joined the demonstration on Tuesady and more members are expected to join on Wednesday," he said.
The mid-day meal scheme was started in various government schools to motivate children from poor families to come to school, but most schools in the state are not implementing this scheme and the government has not monitored the scheme properly.
Recently, the Assam State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (ASCPCR) conducted a survey on the different schools and it was seen that many schools in Chirang, Dima Hasao and Kamrup were flouting the norms of mid-day meal scheme. Most of these schools had not even appointed a cook.
Another member of the union said, "We request the government to look into our problems, regularize our posts and increase our salaries."

Happy Saturday! Admission packets were sent out to the class of 2018 yesterday. Seeing Butler's twitter account replying to excited potential students got me thinking about why I am so glad I came to Butler.
1. The size. With over 4500 students, Butler is a fairly small school. I love that the farthest walk on campus takes about 20 minutes, and that you consistently see friends to and from classes, and in the library. The size is small enough you easily see your friends, but not so small that you never meet anyone new.
2. The People. I love making new friends. I've blogged about it time and time again, but I develop friend crushes on people and randomly approach them, telling them I want to be their friend. That does sound like a weird thing to do (because it is), but I've become legitimate friends with each person I've randomly approached. Overall, I feel like everyone I've encountered at Butler is very friendly and more than willing to gain a new pal.
3. The Art Program. I'm an art + design major, and I can 100 percent seriously and confidently say that majoring in art at Butler University is one of the best decisions I've made in my recent life. The way the program blends art and design elements so each student can determine an area of focus is incredible and unlike any other art program I looked at when applying to schools. On top of that, the professors are beyond helpful and I love having them in class. Best of all, the other art majors are some of my greatest buds. We are all equally weird and our brains work in the same strange ways, so we all get along swimmingly.
4. The campus. Butler's campus is beautiful. The canal runs along campus, and it is always beautiful in the summer and fall. On top of that, the bell tower is a really pretty area, and Holcomb Gardens is one of my top two favorite places on campus. The academic quad and the mall are also really pretty. IT'S ALL SO BEAUTIFUL.
5. The Location. While Butler's campus is fairly small, it is a matter of miles away from downtown Indianapolis. You can easily cruise downtown for a day of sightseeing, or hit up Broadripple for food. Personally, my favorite aspect of Butler's location is its walking distance to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
6. The Opportunities. Since I've been at Butler, I've learned so much and become involved in so many things. I was given the opportunity to write for this blog, first of all, which ignited my love for writing and encouraged me to minor in creative writing. Through the art program, I've become aware of many local art shows and shown (and sold!!!!) work in several. I've gotten to dance in front of thousands of people through my performances on dance team, and I've gotten involved in many clubs and organizations that I love. Being involved in things that you truly love, while being surrounded by people who love those things as much as you do, is incredibly inspiring.
There are many more reasons I love Butler, but that could take a while. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted, and best of luck making your final decision!
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading

I just got a pasta machine. I've wanted one for quite a while, but just got around to getting one. I've looked around the web for recipes & found a ton of them - all slightly different. Some add water, some add oil, some add neither, just flour, salt & eggs.
Does anyone have a tried & true recipe for making homemade pasta? Jo-Ann |
Follow-Up Postings:
This is the one we used in culinary school. HOMEMADE PASTA 1 kg flour Mix until just coming together (in a mixer or food processor). Wrap well and rest in refrigerator at least 30 minutes (or as long as overnight). Roll out and flour really well. Store in freezer. |
do you have an extruder machine or a roller? The kind of recipe you use for each is different. Linda c |
The machine is a roller. I'm anxious to give it a try. |

I'm glad you posted this pasta I am also looking for a true pasta recipe because my family really loves pasta dishes. I want to learn how to make it. Thanks. |
- Posted by ilene_in_neok (My Page) on Thu, Aug 6, 09 at 9:47
I have an extruder. I bought some Semolina but when I made macaroni shells, they fell apart after they were dry. I used two eggs, a cup of semolina, salt and enough water to make it the proper consistency for the extruder. What did I do wrong? Does making the dough ahead of time and then refrigerating it prevent this? Should I have added oil? I'd really rather not add oil if I can get by without it. |
The commercial pasta, on the grocer's shelves, is essentially made of flour, water, dried milk and salt. The commercial machinery used for kneading.....which couldn't possibly be duplicated by hand in a home kitchen. And, their drying process is also a specialized proceedure. So hard pasta, as you can buy in the package, is impossible to make in your own kitchen with your own domestic kitchen mixers and equipment. Homemade pasta recipes have too much moisture to dry hard and solid enough! That is why home-made is so much better and has much more flavor. When you do dry it, it becomes fagile and must be handled and stored in air-tight containers with extreme care. If you don't dry it thoroughly enough, any moisture and the egg content can cause spoilage. I prefer freezing. |
Another really informative "How To" that may be of interest! (notice their drying rack.) |

I've had really good luck with the instructions at the link below. I've never made it with Semolina, but I've tried regular flour, bread flour, and 3 parts flour to 1 part resistant starch, and it's worked each time. I have some other advice: 1. Make a half batch the first time. I've never been able to stack sheets of pasta without having them stick, and it takes up a lot of space to lay them all out by themselves. Happy cooking :-) |

- public worship

- presence of God

Date 2006-05-04 Availability unrestricted Abstract Radical changes during the past century not only effected the broad global society, but also church life. Dwindeling numbers of membership and lesser church attendance show that worldwide secularization has put the church in a tight position. On the other hand, there is currently renewed interest in spiritual life. This tendency gives Christianity and the church as such the opportunity to come forward with new and creative ways to convey the message of the gospel. One of the focus points should be to rediscover and renew the worship service, as it is still the main function of the church. Post modern ways of life and thinking should together with the eternal Word of God be the prime factors of rethinking worship. With mainly these arguments in mind, this study attempts to develop a design by which creative and effective worship services can be planned.
Because the Bible as Gods Word is central in reformed theological thinking as well as in the whole spectrum of such church life, that will be the basis. As far as the worship service is concerned, the text for the sermon is held to be not only the focus point but actually the source from which all the liturgical elements develop.
The study starts off with an overview of current tendencies. Chapter 2 deals with the research work being an empirical survey as well as a literature study. Results of the empirical survey is dealt with throughout the study. Chapter 3 discusses the whole issue of the presence of God in the church service. After an overview of this phenomenon in different eras of church history, it concludes with the outcome that God's presence is firstly a historical fact and secondly a means of communication during a certain event. This can be experienced because the worshiper is a person with a certain human makup who lives in a particular time and space. In Chapter 4 the issue of the hermeneutical process comes into view. It deals with the Word in context and feels in the end at home in the presence of the textual communicative approach of a person such as Paul Ricoeur. The tendencies of the post modern time is also discussed. Chapter 5 focuses on liturgy itself and leads to the point where liturgy is actually the merging of Gods message with the message of the congregation. The final chapter develops the liturgical model which we can call the liturgical design where the text for the sermon is the viewpoint.

Work progressing on the new Tesco store in Sheringham. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Steve Downes
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
After stalking Sheringham for 17 years, the steely skeleton of a long-awaited - or long-dreaded - Tesco store is finally taking shape.
The white "bones" of the Cromer Road store have been fused together, creating a frame on which the controversial building will develop before its opening at the end of 2013.
The site is currently cordoned off with fences adorned with glossy posters about what Tesco will offer when it opens.
Tesco spokesman Simon Petar said: "There's a real buzz about this and we are really excited to be building the store. We can't wait to start serving customers and the community."
Construction work signals the beginning of the end of a saga that has split the town into pro-Tesco and anti-Tesco camps, creating some sharp divisions.
Tesco's fight to build in Sheringham began in 1996, and included a number of planning battles, a town vote which was inconclusive and the emergence of a rival plan for a Waitrose and a food academy on Weybourne Road, which was eventually rejected.
The giant firm finally got planning permission after a heated meeting at North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) in September 2010, where the consent came on the casting vote of development committee chairman Simon Partridge.
Permission hinged on a number of conditions, which have taken a while to be met, including the construction of a £2m community centre on Holway Road, to replace the old Teen and Twenty Club on Cromer Road.
The new centre opened earlier this year, while the old centre is set to be demolished in the next few months as the supermarket takes shape.
Tesco also financed the building of a new fire station on Cromer Road, opposite the site of the one that was demolished to clear the way for the store.
And it has handed over to NNDC £1.34m to provide social housing in the district, in lieu of the flats lost when it demolished Lockerbie Flats.
Nonetheless, the opening of the store is awaited with trepidation by many town-centre businesses, whose owners fear an exodus of shoppers to Tesco - despite the looming construction of a walkway between the store and the town, which Mr Petar said would "definitely" be constructed before the opening.
Construction work for the road accesses for the store has been put back to avoid clashing with the town's main tourist season.

GC, as you we're driving by......weren't by any chance on your way to Cromer to shop at Morrison's were you?! Because that's where the bulk of us are shopping at the moment! At least when there's a proper supermarket in town some of us might park up at Tesco, do most of our shopping there and then have a stroll into town and get a few other bits and bobs, rather than just doing everything that we have to do in Cromer as is often the case now!
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Why is this considered news?
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
As you drive by, the notice boards state they are opening a deli counter, a fish counter etc etc. Why? There are lots of shops in Sheringham who provide excellent goods at good comparative prices. How often do you hear comments like jeffy above.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
@Tractorboy your comment sounds good coming from someone who drives to Brandon for fish & chips! Hypocrisy or what?
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
RIP Sherringham small traders. TescoN will destroy your market town, just as they will Swaffham, when they build their 'shed'. TescoN are only interested in destroying local competion with their 'one stop shopping', screwing over their producers and suppliers and building 'blots on the landscape'.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
How many local producers are they going to use? Very few I suspect... How many people are aware how Tesco treat their suppliers?. Producers are often told "we will only take your produce if you drop the price we contracted you to supply at?" This leaves farmers will crops in the ground they have no choice but to harvest and sell at a loss. This is Tesco common practise. How many shops will suffer at their hands? Sheringham independents who do such a great job are bound to suffer. Just look at what they did to Stalham high street. KEEP CALM AND AVOID TESCO
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Looking forward to the Swaffham opening as well. BTW GC I hope you weren't really trying to read the signs while driving!
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
High rents and complacency are more likely to harm shopkeepers than Tesco in Sheringham. Cromer has some great bakers and fish shops who thrive despite having Morrisons, Co-op, Budgens, Iceland and soon to be Lidl. Aylsham has 3 butchers.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
They are months away from opening but already, they are trying to screw local suppliers. A representative from their company rang me yesterday looking for accommodation for one of their workers during the high season. When I told them my rates (which are already one of the cheapest in town) I was told "we won't pay that...." How I enjoyed telling them go away!!! KEEP CALM, AND AVOID TESCO
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Dragonfly, I can only assume your taste buds do not work. Supermarket fruit and veg may look perfect but the majority of it is tasteless. I like to shop by foot or on my bike, where I live this means Tesco or get flattened, really enjoy my trips to Norfolk where I can buy stuff local that actually tastes of something.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
I look forward to it opening . Their Fakenham store is excellent , Beccles a close second . Good quality goods , reasonably priced , no hydrogenated fat or artificial colours in Tesco own brand food . The fruit and veg is second to none among the Big Four supermarkets .
