Beautiful! |
I love medium pink climbers most of all. Peachy pink too. Lovely. |
I'm so glad you posted this because this rose is arriving at the end of the month. I'm afraid though that I can't agree that it wouldn't be compatible with old roses. I'm actually planting it next to Glamis Castle and Sister Elizabeth, with Catherine Mermet, Mrs. Wood's Lavender Pink Noisette and Lavender Dream nearby. To me it seems like quite a versatile rose with its informal blooms. It will have an avocado tree behind it and a steep hill with trees and boulders, and I'm hoping it will look natural in that setting. Beautiful pictures, and I especially love the second one. |
Thanks. Ingrid , Clair Matin would look great with all the roses you mentioned. I was thinking of old gallicas & albas , in my garden it just didn't look right next to them. In our climate , I can only dream about chinas and noisettes and musks. Henrik |

Henri---CM is one of my favorite roses----My garden has been neglected and this rose just keeps blooming all summer---My blooms are a bit lighter than yours Florence |
Florence, thank you for the lovely additional pictures. It was you who enabled me to buy this rose with previous lovely photos and descriptions of its good qualities. Henrik, you're quite right, I couldn't imagine this rose with the old European roses - so different in style and feel. By the way, I'm so glad you joined our forum. I imagine you'd also feel very much at home at the antique rose forum, where I mostly post. Ingrid |

Henri----I agree with Ingrid----stop over at the Antique Rose forum-----I think you would love it. I think CM looks good in a garden of old roses----I mix everything---you should see the inside of my home----nothing matches---all different kinds of dishes---LOL Florence |
waaah and waiiiil! if Henrik goes to the Antiques Forum we won't get to see him as often. I notice that once someone goes to the Antiques forum we don't get to see them as often. I want him to stay HERE! LOL, lol! (yeah, I can be so obnoxiously selfish)! |
Thank you all very much . It's nice to feel so welcome. I was a regular guest on this forum and ARF from 1998-2001 if I remember correctly. I can still rememer some very nervous people and responses at the time , so I stoped posting in 2001. I'm glad to see how relax and cheerful this forum is now. Florence , your pictures of CM are beautiful. Mine are a bit to dark. Henrik |
LOL, well, let's say I want you HERE instead of the Antiques Rose Forum. I'm always pestering Boxofrox and you for your lovely roses. I just love our rose gallery because we can talk about life and lots of things at our Gallery, it is really like having a cup of tea and relaxing! and strolling through the gardens! Everyone who goes to the Antiques forum tend to disappear for long lengths of time which is so disappointing. If you disappear, it's like where did the rainbow disappear to???? I feel very lucky having you here at our Gallery! and I want to tell Ingrid and Florence, shhhh, don't say A.R.F! LOL! And just wait til Harold, Jim, and Boxofrox come back more regularly. They are one of the cheeriest people here with really fun personalities. It's still too cold for many people to come back to the Gallery January-March because their roses are not yet blooming or they've got other things that they're still sorting out. But once everyone's roses get to blooming we have tons of fun here! Christmas was also fun, because some of us still had blooms, while the rest of us got to share photos of Christmas lights, photos of cookies, and Lemon pie, haha! Back to Clair Matin, I like both colors of yours and Florence's. Yours has great contrast! It's not dark! It's got contrast: honey and violet-pink, very beautiful. |
Great looking climber there Hendrik! |

When a client who is trying to avoid a sex addiction relapse has had a slip I can often tell before they say anything about it.
At first I wasn't sure what it was that I was seeing; whether it was just intuition or whether they were actually doing something different. And with some clients I could tell right away and with others I couldn't. So what was the difference?
Signs of a relapse
When I see clients who have had a slip since the last time I saw them I can sometimes spot the following signs:
A difference of style. The addict who is coming in laden with the knowledge that he has had a slip will likely be thinking about the fact that they have to discuss it with me. This often results in their seeming to be superficially jocular or casual. They seem to be tap dancing, probably because they feel embarrassed or ashamed about having let themselves and me down.
A difference in cognition. To a greater or lesser extent, a sex addict who has had a slip or a relapse will be suffering from the aftereffects of their drug. In order to go into the slip in the first place, the addict will have had to let go of part of their rational thinking, the part that has to do with weighing consequences, and thinking logically about the decision they are about to make. This suspension of higher order thinking, being in the "bubble" as it is called, may have residual effects on their apparent ability to think clearly and communicate clearly.
Lack of focus. The addict who has had a slip may seem scattered in the aftermath. They are not completely able to integrate what they know they have done to endanger their recovery and part of them doesn't want to think about it or about anything else. They may deflect or divert the conversation and go off on tangents. They may even be questioning their interest in recovery, their need to change or the appropriateness of the program.
When are these signs missing?
Why is it sometimes easier for me as a therapist to spot a client who has relapsed than it might be for other people in their life, even their partner? And when are they able to fool me as well?
I think the answer has to do with the level of commitment to recovery that the addict has achieved. Most of my clients are trying to be honest with me. When they have something to say that they would previously have lied through their teeth about, they have an automatic high level of cognitive dissonance about it which causes some visible distress symptoms.
Likewise when the addict is still somewhat on the fence about whether and how much of their sexual acting out they really want to give up, then they will be better able to lie to themselves and therefore their deception will be more impenetrable.
It follows that the more someone has become committed to recovery the more difficult it will be for them to conceal the truth from someone they are close to. When an addict has not really given up the need for secrecy as a way of life, they will more readily adopt a false persona that may be hard to see through.
An addict who has lied to his wife for years and then gotten into recovery may be better able to slip into old deceitful habits with her than with a new person such as a therapist. The addict may have been doing well in recovery so far but when it comes to intimate relationships, recovery is more than just avoiding sex addiction relapse. Relationship recovery and the building of honesty and trust is a long term process that involves revamping the entire basis of the relationship.

This is really good. My sa lied to our therapist(and me)for 16 years. I'm just discovering a man I never knew. It's so overwhelming. Do you recommend polygraphs?
Fantastic post. Its very interesting how the same applies across almost all addictions when it comes to acting out. I can often tell long before it is admitted. Thanks
Well put, I at times feel something different in the room and like you, do not always immediately think relapse but it soon unfolds. Great insight to share!
Very informative. It 's very palpable and I agree that most are in an altered state. The varying degrees of dissonance are dependent on many factors and some can be more easily masked than others. Most revert to rationalization (more appropriately dubbed "rational lies") where addict's attempt to use any and every method to escape the shame associated with acting by minimizing, deflecting, denying, blaming, and justifying their behavior. Another great tell tale sign is the presence of extremes such as words like " always" or " never". Addict's live in extremes. Along with their general affect and how they are treating others this is probably the biggest indicator I see. Thanks.
Part and parcel of sex addiction is the addict often lives two lives – the false good person who mirrors the behavior of acceptable, successful people… and the true bad person who lives a secret life they must protect with half-truths and outright lies. My SA is one of these types. Her "two lives" have different personalities and body language. They have different friends and interests. One goes to church. The other doesn't… and so on. It is very important to know which one is "present"… to be able to read the signs. When you can't tell or you aren't vigilant, you will be manipulated. It takes experience, but it has become fairly easy for me to know when she has "acted out" or is "tuning up" to act out. Still get had from time to time though. But then she has had more practice doing what she does than I have had in protecting myself and those important to me.

text: Quoted from Ronagon pcpwns,The whole "secretor" thing, as I understand it, is like whether or not a given dog is the type that sheds. Most dogs shed their fur. And, in just this fashion, most people (~85%) "shed" their blood type antigen off into their bodily fluids, in the specialized regions where secretions usually take place: the mouth saliva, the gut mucus, the sexual fluids. In most people, these body secretions also contain their blood type antigen molecule. These people are the "secretors".But, just as there are a small percentage of dog breeds which do not shed, there is also a small percentage of people (~15%) who do not shed their antigen into their secretions. These are the "nonsecretors".From what I understand, this ability to secrete is a lot like laying mines on a field or in an ocean: it destroys the enemy for you without your having to be there and work so hard... the floating antigen pre-emptively "binds out" the incoming nasties that would otherwise bind to your body's own blood type antigens, as they would normally be strictly adhered to the cell surfaces only if there was no secretion. Once this binding happens, it just causes everything to gum up and throw off your whole smooth functioning, energy, and metabolism. In general, you'd feel like, well, c**p.But, for people who do not secrete, their immune cells have to actually expend the extra energy to meet the enemy head-on. And, while it seems like this second way might purely represent a disadvantage, I imagine that it might allow for a much more accurate immune response.Anyhow, I hope that helps.

XHTML in Dreamweaver and Golive
If you are starting off a new XHTML page instead of converting an old HTML page, then your WYSIWYG editor should be able to insert the correct lower case tags and handle all the differences between HTML and XHTML automatically. All you have to do is tell it that you want to work in XHTML from the outset.
Here's how to set-up the two leading WYSIWYG editors to handle XHTML. If you use something else, you will probably find similar facilities.
Macromedia Dreamweaver
When you create the new blank page in Dreamweaver, you usually choose New Page in the File menu.
In the New Page dialog, check the Make document XHTML compliant checkbox at the bottom right. Dreamweaver will then create a new page and insert the correct DocType.
After that, just go ahead and build your page as usual. Before you can validate the page however, you need to go into Preferences/Validator and checkXHTML 1.0 Transitional. When you choose File/Check Page/Validate Markup, Dreamweaver will then validate your markup against XHTML standards indicating anything that might need to be fixed manually.
Adobe GoLive
In GoLive, choose New Special in the File menu. There, you are given a number of choices of which only two are relevant.
XHTML – Basic Page – Inserts a DocType for a basic XHTML page – but it's better to choose XHTML Page – which inserts the DocType for XHTML Transitional. The other thing that it does is insert a white body background color <body bgcolor="#ffffff">. It is preferable to specify the body background within your Style Sheet, so you can delete the bgcolor="#ffffff" if you like.
Now, there's something that GoLive does with its XHTML that should be changed. In the editorial above, I said that closing tags should be (space)/> for best browser compatibility. GoLive leaves the space out which, while not disastrous, is not strictly correct. Not to worry. It's easily fixed. Just go to Edit/Find and in the Find and Replace dialog put /> in the Find box and (space)/> in the replace box. Make sure From Top is checked and click on the Replace All button.
To validate your page with GoLive's syntax checker, just make sure that XHTML 1.0 Transitional is checked.
Although Dreamweaver and GoLive do excellent jobs of syntax checking documents, if you want the definitive validation, go to the WC3 Validator. It will catch errors that the programs don't because it is more regularly updated.

2nd-ranked Indiana men win at Northwestern | College basketball
Cody Zeller recorded a double-double as second-ranked Indiana beat host Northwestern 67-59.
EVANSTON, Ill. — Cody Zeller could sense panic setting in. Then, just in time, Indiana regained its composure.
Zeller scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the No. 2 Hoosiers beat Northwestern 67-59 Sunday.
Jordan Hulls added 15 points, Christian Watford scored 14 and the Hoosiers (16-2 overall, 4-1 Big Ten Conference) hung on after things got tense down the stretch.
Indiana led by as many as 17 in the first half and was up 31-17 at the break.
Northwestern (11-8, 2-4) responded with a 1-3-1 trap in the second half, leading to some rushed shots by Indiana. The Wildcats were down by five points three times, but the Hoosiers made seven of eight free throws in the final 57 seconds to prevail after seeing a six-game winning streak end with a loss to Wisconsin last week.
"They just kind of sped us up for a while," Zeller said. "We were kind of panicked for a while. That's what their defense kind of forces you to do. Once we started getting into the middle, getting to the baseline, then we started getting open shots."
Zeller made 9 of 10 free throws and dominated inside as Indiana pounded the Wildcats 36-24 on the glass.
"It just seemed like he was everywhere," Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said of Zeller. "He gets to the line a lot and makes his foul shots."
Reggie Hearn scored 22 points for the Wildcats.
Top 5 women's games
At No. 2 Notre Dame 74, St. John's 50
Skylar Diggins scored 18 points and Natalie Achonwa contributed 16 points and 12 rebounds as the Fighting Irish (16-1, 5-0 Big East) defeated the Red Storm (9-7, 3-1).
At No. 5 Kentucky 97, Auburn 53
A'dia Mathies scored a season-best 24 points to help the Wildcats (18-1, 6-0 Southeastern) overpower the Tigers (13-6, 2-4).

I live in San Jose, CA and have about 12 tomato plants in the backyard. They are about 8 weeks old, growing well, and I am starting to notice holes in the lower leaves of the plants that are on the perimeter of the garden. The holes are sort of random, like a shotgun blast, 1/8 - 3/8 in diameter and look like something is eating them away. I also notice black, powdery reside, kind of like very small pellets that brush off. This morning I went out about 5:30am as I thought it might be snails. We have had snail problems in the back and I wasnt sure if this was related to that or not. No snails at all on any of the leaves. Also, the tomato fruit itself does not appear to be affected at all or show any signs of being eaten. I tried to provide picture but the image was to large, I can email to you though if that helps. Any ideas/suggestions? |

Hi! My first thought is either flea beetles or hornworms (or some other kind of caterpillar). If the holes are small and round, I would lean toward flea beetles. If the holes are larger and more irregularly shaped, hornworms. Not sure about powdery residue, but little dark pellets suggest caterpillars (that's their doodoo, take notice of where you see it, then check the underside of the leaves right above it for a hornworm). I a new gardener (well, back to it after a few tries!) and I have learned a lot by doing searches of the old threads on these boards. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll find a search box. Try looking for hornworms and flea beetles and I'm sure you'll find a lot of reading material. Also, on this forum there is a FAQ section at the top (not all forums have them). I wish you luck with your tomatoes--I'm fighting BER right now. Michelle :-) |
I say flea beetles. A few of the leaves on my plants are starting to look like lacework, and I had a tiny shiny black beetle on my arm today; I poked at it (to make sure it wasn't a tick) and it jumped. I don't generally have flea beetles, so I'm guessing it's a good year for them in the hotter parts of the Bay Area. They're not easy to deal with, but small numbers aren't terribly harmful if the plants are growing well. They love eggplant, though, and will eat that to bits. :/ --Alison |

I don't know how such an amazing and bizarre game like Headis was able to stay under my radar for so long. The Headis game is a mixture of ping pong and soccer, with players using their heads to hit a big bouncy ball across the table.
Headis was invented by René Wegner, who started hitting a soccer ball back and forth over a ping pong table while he was a student at the University of Saarbruecker in Germany. Check out the featured video to see a game of Headis being played.

A relentless pursuit
Theology and Religious Studies is ever relevant in a world where religious belief is a driving force behind world events. Anyone operating internationally requires some understanding of the importance of religion and its cultural contexts. The course engages with a wide variety of disciplines from the perspectives of history, practice and thought of the major world religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.
The Theology and Religious studies course at Cambridge involves the study of sacred texts (including biblical studies), philosophy, sociology, history, language, literary criticism, and the construction of ideas. Given this breadth, students can create for themselves a varied programme of study. However, those who prefer to specialise in one area are equally able to follow a particular pathway.
The Cambridge course is a diverse and demanding degree that addresses fundamental questions through a range of religious traditions and philosophical standpoints from a global perspective.
Ancient and modern resources
The award-winning Faculty building is fully equipped with lecture and seminar rooms, a multimedia library, and audiovisual facilities. Other resources include the manuscripts held in the University Library, such as the Codex Bezae (an important early version of the Gospel) and the Genizah collection (a globally significant source for medieval Judaism).
The international teaching staff includes specialists in a variety of faith traditions. In addition, you're taught about a wide range of cultures by experts in different fields from other faculties: archaeologists, historians, philosophers and theologians.
Changing course
As well as the full three-year course, it's possible to study one or two years of Theology and Religious Studies, either before or after one or two years of another subject, such as English; Philosophy; Classics; History; Human, Social, and Political Sciences; Law; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; History of Art; Natural Sciences; and Medicine.
Excellent careers prospects
The Theology and Religious Studies course equips students with varied and significant transferable skills that are applicable to and valuable in a wide range of professions.
It isn't surprising, then, that our graduates go on to a variety of careers, including journalism, the Civil Service, law, charities and NGOs, teaching, business, and social services, as well as some who go on to work for religious institutions and agencies.
Advanced Diploma
The Faculty offers a one-year Advanced Diploma for those who haven't studied Theology and Religious Studies at undergraduate level, but already have a degree in another subject. Contact the Faculty Office for more information.
Course outline
Teaching is provided through lectures, classes and supervisions. You can expect up to nine hours of classes and lectures each week (including six for non-language papers and three for languages), as well as a weekly supervision.
Assessment is mainly by three-hour written examinations, but some papers are assessed by coursework.
Year 1 (Part IA)
You take five papers designed to give you a broad introduction to the basic concepts, knowledge and skills required in the main areas of study. There are two compulsory subjects:
- one scriptural language – Hebrew, New Testament Greek, Qur'anic Arabic or Sanskrit
- a paper in biblical studies, either on the understanding of God in the Hebrew Bible or on Jesus and the Gospel's origins (you can take the other in place of one of the choices below)
Plus three other papers from a choice of five:
- Christianity and the Transformation of Culture – considering key periods and issues in the history of Christianity and its interaction with non-Christian cultures
- Who is Jesus Christ? – introducing some of the major themes of Christian theology through a focus on Jesus Christ
- Understanding Contemporary Religion – an introduction to the sociological study of religion
- World Religions in Comparative Perspective – looking at the history, beliefs and practices of the main religions of the world and the problems of comparing them
- Philosophy of Religion and Ethics – debating questions such as the nature of metaphysics, arguments for the existence of God, and the objectivity of morals
Year 2 (Part IIA)
This builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in Part I. A wide choice of options is available, enabling you to develop a course suited to your own interests. You can choose a total of four papers out of 17.
You may wish to continue to study any of the four scriptural languages at a higher level, or you can drop the study of languages at this stage. The other papers can be freely chosen from subject areas studied in the Faculty, for example:
- biblical studies
- church history
- philosophy of religion
- the study of religion
- world religions
You can also choose to take the Part IA Logic paper from the Philosophy course.
Year 3 (Part IIB)
In your final year, you choose four from a wide range of papers, which includes advanced papers in the Part IIA subject areas as well as Special Subjects and interdisciplinary papers, such as:
- Theology and Science
- Judaism and Hellenism
- Topics in Christian Ethics
- Self and Salvation in Indian and Western Thought
- Sacrifice
You can choose to write a dissertation of 10,000 words in your third year instead of one paper.
Entry requirements
Typical offers require
A Level: A*AA
IB: 40-41 points, with 776 at Higher Level
For other qualifications, see our main Entrance requirements pages.
Course requirements
Essential No specific subjects
Useful AS Level/IB Standard Level or above in one or more of English, Philosophy and Ethics, Religious Studies, History, modern languages
No particular subjects at A Level (or equivalent) are required for Theology and Religious Studies and it is not necessary to have studied Religious Studies at AS or A Level. Subjects such as Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics, History, English and modern languages can be helpful, but so can any subjects that encourage clear, logical thinking and careful analysis of evidence. Students with a completely science background study Theology and Religious Studies and do very well.
Check College websites for College specific requirements. See also Entrance requirements and our Subject Matters leaflet for additional advice about general requirements for entry, qualifications and offers.

Unistats info
Contextual Information
From September 2012, every undergraduate course of more than one year's duration will have a Key Information Set (KIS). The KIS allows you to compare 17 pieces of information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.
However, please note that superficially similar courses often have very different structures and objectives, and that the teaching, support and learning environment that best suits you can only be determined by identifying your own interests, needs, expectations and goals, and comparing them with detailed institution- and course-specific information.
We recommend that you look thoroughly at the course and University information contained on these webpages and consider coming to visit us on an Open Day, rather than relying solely on statistical comparison.
You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by the KIS.
- The KIS relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it leads to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes.
Any course which combines several disciplines (as many courses at Cambridge do) tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases a KIS comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either. For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology (for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge), the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one (or a smaller combination) of those subjects. - Whilst the KIS makes reference to some broad types of financial support offered by institutions, it cannot compare packages offered by different institutions. Different students have different circumstances and requirements, and you should weigh up what matters to you most: level of fee; fee waivers; means-tested support such as bursaries; non-means-tested support such as academic scholarships and study grants; and living costs such as accommodation, travel.
- The KIS provides a typical cost of private (ie non-university) accommodation. This is very difficult to estimate as prices and properties vary. University accommodation can be substantially cheaper, and if you are likely to live in College for much or all of the duration of your course (as is the case at Cambridge), then the cost of private accommodation will be of less or no relevance for you. The KIS also provides the typical annual cost of university accommodation and the number of beds available. Note that since most universities offer a range of residential accommodation, you should check with institutions about the likelihood of securing a room at a price that suits your budget. Knowing the number of beds available is not necessarily useful: it may be much more important to find out if all students are guaranteed accommodation.
- Time in lectures, seminars and similar can vary enormously by institution depending on the structure of the course, and the quality of such contact time should be the primary consideration.
- Whilst starting salaries can be a useful measure, they do not give any sense of career trajectory or take account of the voluntary/low paid work that many graduates undertake initially in order to gain valuable experience necessary/advantageous for later career progression.
The above list is not exhaustive and there may be other important factors that are relevant to the choices that you are making, but we hope that this will be a useful starting point to help you delve deeper than the face value of the KIS data.

I made a mosaic garden bench last year with marine quality plywood (weather protected), used a concrete type adhesive for the tiles and mosaics. The smoother pieces continue to pop off. Is there some sort of adhesive or protection I can pour over the top of it to keep this from happening? |

I'm also interested in this. Have you tried posting on the stainglass and mosaic forum? |
No, but definitely will |
- Posted by nanatricia (My Page) on Mon, Jun 6, 11 at 21:53
You never mosaic wood for out doors.It will not hold up no matter how much you try to protect it. |
If you could frame it and possibly pour a clear plastic hard coat into the frame maybe 1/2 inch thick.?? Saw something like this on DIY network, but can't remember what base they used for the tiles. Also used this method for a countertop with holes drilled to let light through. They filled the holes with it so it "lit up". That's all I know. |
All I know is they use backerboard or cement board I think, not plywood(layers of wood & glue) if any moisture got into the edges so plywood it would swell in places & that causes problems too. Jan |

Hello Arthur Thanks, Yes you can do this... check in the component admin, first screen in the menu listing (datagrid), you need to select the menu you want to copy and click on the copy button (top / right of the screen) This will copy all the categories and items in the selected menu, it keep the same url for the images and doesn't copy comments or votes. Regards

You're right it's a cool admin template, Joomla should use it by default Thanks

In a nutshell: Devan Dubnyk was traded to Nashville for Matt Hendricks. The Oilers then flipped a third-rounder to LA for Ben Scrivens.
When you make a trade, you're saying something about your team needs, and there's always hope that the trade benefits both sides. I wouldn't be shocked to see these deals benefit everyone.
First off, Nashville isn't short on grinders. One of them, Matt Hendricks, has a slightly-too large contract. With Pekka Rinne still out, Nashville's goaltending hasn't been up to its world-beating standards – Carter Hutton (.902) and Marek Mazanec (.902) aren't getting the job done. So, Nashville bought low on another good goalie who might be better than people think behind a real defense. If you're Nashville, you've gained some some cap flexibility (the Oilers are eating some of Dubnyk's salary, UFA after this season), and improved your goaltending. Way to go. (But be worried about what it says about Rinne's status.)
If you're the Kings, Martin Jones has made it unnecessary for you to keep both him and Ben Scrivens. They're basically playing equals, as demonstrated by their performances behind the Kings this year. Scrivens has more name cache, and was going to be worth more in a trade. You grab a 3rd-rounder to make your team zero percent worse, and you can flip that pick for some of the offense you're after later. High five.
If you're the Oilers, your goaltending also gets roughly zero percent worse (some will say it got a lot better – and it might have improved a touch – but we'll see once Scrivens is behind Edmonton's D), and for the cost of a third-rounder, you get a "10th forward" of sorts (3rd/4th liner) who can actually be functional (unlike, say, Gazdic). He's a bombastic guy who's a proven NHLer who kills it in the shootout. You don't have to love his deal, but with the cap going up and the Oilers cap situation, $1.85 per isn't the worst deal to acquire Actual NHLers, something Edmonton needs.
Today's NHL trades aren't monumental, but there's at least some logic behind what each team was thinking.
The only real issue: what do we tell Ben Scriven's wife?
@TastyGardener Exactly! I paid my dues with 3 years in Toronto and 4 in New York. And I will never complain about weather again. Ever.
— Jenny Scrivens (@JenScrivs) December 16, 2013
In fairness, ….no I'm kidding, I'm not about to be sensitive.

Bambi?!?!? How do you make a sequel to a movie that is over 50 years old?!?!? What are they going to do, show Bambi, Flower and Tumper in the old folks home talking about the "Great Fire of '42"?
This paragraph is buried in this news article
A sequel to Bambi?**** Cook (chairman of the Walt Disney Studios) said the studio is planning two sequels to last year's hit "Pirates of the Caribbean," as well as animated sequels to movies such as "Lilo & Stitch" and "Bambi."
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Bambi?!?!? How do you make a sequel to a movie that is over 50 years old?!?!? What are they going to do, show Bambi, Flower and Tumper in the old folks home talking about the "Great Fire of '42"?
All I can say to Todd's comment - is your crazy
But they did it with 101 Dalmations... and Cinderella... mind you they werent any good...
Whaa??? Song of the South Part Deux??

Walt would be rolling over in his grave...and as for another company buying his "baby"...I'm surprised that he hasn't risen up and done something about it. I'm just sad that Roy has chosen to leave the Board of Directors. I mean...he's family!
:mickey: Carol (Ripkensnana)) :mickey:
All I know is what Walt said about sequels, "You can't top pig with pigs!" Or deer, or lions, or bears, or ..., well, you get the picture!
Future Disney Trips:
May 30-June 9, 2015 for WDWRadio Cruise to Alaska and Vancouver, BC!
Aug. 12-20, 2015 for Disneyland Resort Trip and D23 Expo, staying at Grand Californian!
Well, I can understand a sequel to Pirates. After all they did change the name to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in anticipation of it doing well at the box office. If the movie had just been called Pirates of the Caribbean, what would a sequel be called??
As far as the other sequels - well, times change. When Walt was living and breathing and not frozen there was no reasonably priced technology around that consumers could watch movies over and over again in the comfort of their own homes. So the thought of a secondary market for his film libraries was pretty non-existent. With the advent of VCR's and now DVD's there is a market for cheaply made sequels that go direct to video and DVD.
It must be profitable, otherwise we would never see these things. Love 'em or hate 'em they are here to stay.
At least they do not make cheapie sequels with lower art quality and release them for the big screen.
If they want to make Cinderella XII and Lion King 6 1/2 fine by me. My kids are older and I won't be purchasing them. So they won't see a penny from me for those sequels.
Last edited by 1HourAway; 02-24-2004 at 01:33 PM.
Part of the problem with sequels, Disney or otherwise, is that save for a few exeptions (Godfather II and Empire Strikes Back), the sequels are never nearly as good as the original, and often times "taint" the franchise a bit (Remember "Star Trek V"? Didn't think you did).
But hey, will I go see Pirates II? You bet. :pirate: (Maybe not Haunted Mansion II... but...)

:pirate: Pirates II.... Oh yeah Baby!!!!
I've always been a ****er for a good swashbuckling Pirate movie. Then again we redheaded wenches (me and Maureen O'Hara) cant resist the lure of the open sea.
Ace... was that the Star Trek with the whales? (I liked that one )
We have passed on most of the sequels. But like 1Hour, my kids are not into the new ones as much. Although I have been told we must get Lion King 1 1/2.

One man's Trivia is another man's Wisdom
Lion King 1 1/2 is
And the extras on the DVD are great too!
Okay - so I just saw Lion King 1 1/2 today - and oh my God - it is hilarious! I loved it -- Mainly because two of my favorite Broadway Actors are in it again -- (Give me saw Theatre Actors and I will see anything you want!!)
As for a second Pirates -- pretty much - if Johnny Depp dresses up like a Pirate - I am there -- it could be a sequel to Mariah Carey's Glitter, and if Johnny is dressed as a pirate - I am still going to see it!
wow now I gotta go out and rent lion king 1 1/2
I loved Pirates!!! didnt think that I would but now we have the Dvd we've watched it at least 6 more times! I'd love to see a sequel! But Bambi? Please leave it alone!

Bono's Investment Firm Elevation Partners Could Make $1.5 Billion Facebook IPO
As of May 18, many people thought that U2 frontman Bono had overtaken Paul McCartney as the richest musician in the world. It was orginally thought Bono would make $1.5 billion off the Facebook IPO, but the longtime rocker has debunked the rumors.
The private equity firm he is involved with, Elevation Partners, owns 2.3% of the shares in Facebook.
They originally bought 2.3% of the company for $90 million in 2009. When Facebook went public, many thought that Bono was going to rake in $1.5 billion, but apparently this isn't the case. No fear, Beatles fans, McCartney is still the world's richest rockstar with a total fortune of a whopping £665 million.
Here's what Bono told MSNBC:
Contrary to reports, I'm not a billionaire or going to be richer than any Beatle – and not just in the sense of money, by the way, The Beatles are untouchable – those billionaire reports are a joke.
Although it was originally rumored that the Facebook team would profit a grand $16 billion off the IPO, but now MSNBC is reporting that what was considered to be one of the biggest stock offerings in Wall Street history is starting to look more like a nightmare. When Bono went on record about the ordeal, he made it clear that this investment was always in the support of technology, rather than being oriented in the pursuit of money:
Search for Bono albums on AmazonJust being in a band, I've always felt blessed. I got interested in technology because I'm an artist… Technology is huge, I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that. Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team, it's a technology that brings people together.

Vehicle Sales Tax Questions

dtownfb Posts: 2,915I think states like NY and Mass. have taken steps to address people "claiming" to buy a vehicle for $1 or even $1000 to avoid state sales tax. I believe Mass. have adopted a policy of using the estimated book value of the used vehicle to determine state sales tax for private sales.
I would check the state's respective DMV websites to verify how they determine sales tax. -
kateblake Posts: 4I leased my car last year in Indiana and registered/titled it there. I now need to register my car in Illinois; however, I don't want to have to pay taxes on it again.
The way my lease is configured, Indiana taxes are included in my monthly payments. I will continue to pay these regardless of whether my car is leased in Indiana or Illinois.
Does anyone know what Illinois's policy on leased cars is? The value of the car is 17,000 but I will only end up paying 9,100 on it (36 mo. lease).
My driver's license is also an Illinois license. Would it be cheaper to try to get an Indiana license and keep renewing in that state until my lease is up? -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,351WA tax commission has same problem with WA residents leasing OR cars. It has been determined that your drivers license is the same state as where you rest your head at night. Which state is your principal residence will determine and if your insurance policy doesn't match your state license, there is a problem for you.

1stin10 Posts: 18Hello, I am getting ready to buy a new vehicle in Cook County this Monday. It will be registered at my home in Chicago. I am writing to say there seems to be major confusion out there about the tax rate for Chicagoans. A perfect example of that is this thread from last year.
As for me, the dealership is telling me my tax will be 9.25%, even though a friend also living in the city paid 8.5% last month, and the IL Dept of Revenue's online "tax finder" tool indicates that for new vehicles the State takes 7.25% and the City of Chicago takes 1.25% for a total of 8.5%. Does anyone knowledgeable about this region's vehicle sales tax know why the dealership thinks it's 9.25%? I've seen other dealers make the same claim online, so if it's legit, why doesn't the State make that info readily available? :confuse: -
1stin10 Posts: 18The dealer is in Arlington Heights, which is Cook County, same as Chicago. The way it works in Illinois is you pay the sales tax based on the address where the car is registered, not where it's purchased. Because I live in Chicago, I get to pay the highest tax in the state. Anyway, my friend who lives in the city and who paid 8.5% last month bought her new Honda from a dealership in the city, so I'm assuming they would know better than anyone what to charge city residents. In the end, the difference is not that large. I just want to understand what the correct answer is.
jfitz2 Posts: 9I live in Texas and I recently bought a vehicle in South Carolina. I just discovered that the check that the dealer sent to the Texas tax office is short $300. While I think this was a genuine error and will be corrected and wanted to see what are the implications of this. I have my bill of sale that shows the correct amount of the transaction and the appropriate sales tax paid on the deal. If the dealer chose not to pay the remainder, who is liable for it and can I still get my registration? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
tidester Posts: 10,109Are you sure about that? Ultimately, the customer is responsible for paying the sales tax and the vendor's role is to collect the tax and transmit it to the state. In this case, the vendor (apparently) received full payment of the sales tax from the customer but failed to transmit the full amount to the state. The customer is still liable but the vendor absolutely owes the difference to the customer.

volvomax Posts: 5,274Yes, if the customer can prove they paid the full amount to the dealer, it is up to the dealer to transmit that full amount to the state. If the customer didn't pay the full amount,then the dealer can request the missing money form the customer.
Hopefully for this customer,the amount listed on his contract is the correct amount. -
tidester Posts: 10,109
jfitz2 Posts: 9So the issue has been resolved. The dealer sent $300 to the South Carolina tax office. I found out that South Carolina has a cap on auto sales tax of $300. They just forgot to indicate that on the form they sent to the TX DMV. They are correcting the issue. Thanks to all for your input.
1stin10 Posts: 18For anyone getting ready to register a new car in Chicago, this is what I learned when I bought my new Subaru today: expect to pay 9.25% in sales tax. This is the breakdown:
7.25% State of Illinois
1.25% City of Chicago
0.75% Cook County (good luck trying to find info about this online)
In addition to the tax, Crook County - no, that's not a typo - charges a flat $15 fee for new car purchases. My salesman said it's been the same amount for nearly 20 years, so somehow the county schemers have overlooked an update.
Lastly, those of us in Chicago also pay an annual $120 "city sticker" fee. I know there are stickers for the other towns/villages in the county and a county sticker for those in unincorporated areas, but I don't know specific dollar amounts.
When you take into consideration the high cost of gas in the city (now at $3 and above) relative to the surrounding "collar" counties and the absolutely crazy new rates for parking meters and garages, it's no wonder I went without a car for nearly 10 years. But leaving the dealership today, I was definitely enjoying that "new car" smell. -
tallman1 Posts: 1,874In WA, you pay the sales tax based on the address of where it's purchased.
I'm a little late here, but to further clarify... if you purchase a vehicle out of state and register it in WA, you pay the sales tax rate of the county in which you register the vehicle. That didn't make sense to me but it is what I did. Saved me some cash too. -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,351A WA resident does not pay an OR tax when he purchases in OR, but when he registers it in his home county he pays that Excise (Sales) Tax rate of his county.
Whe a WA resident buys in King County, the % is 9.9% & that is what the buyer pays no matter where else he might reside.
Thus, when you live in a lower tax county, purchasing in OR can be more economical than King county. -
tallman1 Posts: 1,874I've bought a couple of vehicles in Oregon while living in Washington. Not to avoid taxes, but to get exactly what I wanted. My tax rate is 8.4% but I was working in Thurston county a couple of years ago so I registered it there. I figured that I'd pay my home rate but was pleasantly surprised that I only had to pay their (lower) rate.
drivingmenuts Posts: 7We want to buy a used car from a dealer in Georgia. We live in New york state. The salesman says "of course we can handle the sales tax for New York". I just want to make sure that this is not going to be a hassle to register it once we get it back to New York.
Does anyone know if a Mitsubishi dealer in Georgia can collect and properly submit the New York State sales tax to New York so that I can include the purchase price and taxes all into the same loan?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Misha!
Facts about Misha
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Misha's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Misha is a petite young lady with a lovely black coat and a tiny white star on her chest and another small white spot on her tummy. She loves petting and attention, and has a laid back disposition. She would be a wonderful companion in a home without children, and no more than one equally laid back cat.
Misha was returned by her original adopters because she was being terrorized by their children. This sweet girl deserves a life of stability, and would repay a new mom or dad many times over with purrs and love.
Other Pets at TUXEDO JUNCTION RESCUE
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Misha, a AUSTIN Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in AUSTIN, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in AUSTIN.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in AUSTIN 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 AUSTIN 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in AUSTIN paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hello All,
I spent a few years rebuilding my credit, and I had my scores to 650+ across the board. In July of last, my world started to crumble. I'm now going thru the big "D" and have since moved away and become a single parent. I am now at a point where I am getting back on my feet, but my credit has suffered tremendously. Scores are down to 501 EQ and 500 TU No charge offs thank goodness but a few accts have been closed. I am going to pay off the cc's I want to keep (NC state empl. credit union visa $1k, 2 cap ones $750 & $500, and a BOA $300). I will still have about $3k owed on other cc's and $5k in medical bills. My question, is in your opinion, should I pay the other cc's at an aggressive rate, or the medical bills? The cc's are in a negative status now because of 30 & 60 day lates. Some of the medical bills are already in collections but most are not as of yet. Would it be better for me to pay the medical bills more aggressively since I can use the HIPAA process to get them removed from m cr's or pay the cc's aggressively and hope for GW removal of lates? Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks in advance, and have a great weekend everyone!

WiFi was worse than regular 3G service. Not sure if the network was saturated, but this should not be an excuse if you advertise it as an amenity.

Small window facing to the building next to hilton sucks. Dude, I live here for pleasure, not for living.
The staff was very helpful and sweet and the lobby was beautiful. The rooms were clean and had close access to the floors garage which was really convenient. Overall it was a great experience and will for sure be making more bookings there.
We expected the rooms to be a little bit bigger, but it's all good.
I love walking into the Hilton Lobby and seeing everyone enjoying the massive, majestic lobby.
Hallways can be confusing.
Location is perfect, bed is very comfortable and clean, breakfast is good.
There is not a refrigerator or minibar in room. Price of Wifi is very high. Autopark price is very expensive.
Great rooftop pool and spa. Close to the shops, cable car and F-line streetcars.
Checkin was terrible, woefully understaffed. A few undesirables close by.
Kyle at Concierge!! Very helpful man.
The fact that guests had to pay for wifi in their rooms, and that this is free in the lobby area. For the Hilton name there is no need to charge guests for such a common amenity. As for pet friendly, there was no pet bed in our room. I have done extensive travelling and the Houston Hilton has set up a service which has a pet bed and dishes. Going the extra mile for travellers with pets who are appropriate and well mannered makes a difference, and I appreciated the attention to detail. San Fran perhaps should step it up in both these areas!! Smoking in the parkade, really?!? that was very gross and unappealing.
Walking in tour the Hotel was like walking into a Sud Hall not a Hotel.Ffee WiFi downstairs place in bac or remove half of that ugly old furniture and tables. When you walk in to the main entrance the pathway should be obvious. It was a maze getting to the front desk. No blankets and the pullout for my child's mattress was hard and you could feel the metal.....
Noisy water pipes were running through the walls .. house keeping lady knocked the door at 8:00 am a d woke us up.. she knocked again at 8:15 am. When I opened the door I said didn't I tell you not to bother us..very unprofessional. . no class from Hilton I expected more class.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
No free Wifi in room
The central location for Muni & BART transport, quality shopping (some opened 24hrs leading up to Christmas), restaurants and 24hr convenience stores. Very helpful service from hotel staff, especially the concierge. Ample elevators to enter and exit hotel.
I booked a junior suite nearly 12 months prior to visit. It was disappointing we were given a lower level room that overlooked a multi-storey car park across the road. I also have a dislike for 4 and 5 star rated hotels charging WiFi in rooms. I also expect a small fridge in a room (this is the first hotel I haven't and one!).
The room was great. Specially the bed.
The breakfast was always the same. They never clean the room, they only made the bed.
staff was not friendly/helpful. So special accommodations for pet & was put in high traffic area which was disturbing considering we had an animal
Excellent service, clean rooms, roof top pool fab
The hotel is perfectly located and thus within walking distance from many point of interest. Close to car and bike rental
Large line in the morning to take breakfast with hotel voucher at starbucks coffee in hotel
So convenient for shopping - just two minutes walk from Macys. Breakfast in the urban tavern was outstanding - amazing selection of food which set us up for the day.
The rooms were clean but small, the bed was comfortable. The location is good for shopping, and an easy walk to Market St to catch transportation. Plenty of dining options nearby.
My #1 complaint is that parking is $47 a night for hotel guests. I could have stayed another night for what it cost me to park my car, which is ridiculous. I didn't see this mentioned ANYWHERE beforehand, so be warned. The parking lot directly across the street is $35 a night. Lots of transients in the area, with the corresponding panhandling and blatant drug use, which was less than ideal with my young kids in tow. The super shady Tenderloin district was literally one block away, which didn't help. Our TV never worked properly, 2/3 of the channels didn't come in at any time - but you could never tell which channels those would be. Also not great with young kids. The lobby was ALWAYS packed with people, and the line for Starbucks in the morning was ridiculous.
The first room provided was disgusting. It really disappointed us and put a stigma on Hilton. The carpet, wallpaper and overall appearance was in need of updating. The second room was better, but mainly because carpet looked like was just cleaned. It definitely put a smudge on Hilton's reputation. Time to update rooms ....

I'd like to make some stepping stones and then mosiac them. Could you please help me out? We're building our new home and I want these to look regal, for it. This is what I've done so far, but not happy with the results. Please tell me what I did wrong. Please be critical.
First I took a large plant saucer we had lying around here, and greased it with used motor oil. Next I dumped in some cement mix we had here. Nothing to add, but the water. There were way to many pebbles in the cement for my taste. Next I tried pushing in my broken dish pieces I had laying around. They wouldn't go in very far, because of all the pebbles. The cement came all the way up to the top of the tile, now there'll be no room, to grout. Well it's been 3 days and I slid out my stepping stone. Just as I thought no room to grout, some of the tiles stuck well and others came off easy. Whiped off the cement off the top of the tile, looks better now. I need you guys help badly. Thanks!!! halley_rose |

Your picture didn't make it, but it sounds like you have a nice substrate on which you can use thinset to adhere more tiles. |
- Posted by chinatreasures (My Page) on Tue, Jul 21, 09 at 13:43
If you are going to glue your mosaic then grout, it would be easier (and maybe less expensive) to just buy ready made stepping stones to work on. If you don't want to grout at all and make your stones, then you would want to lay out your design on some clear contact paper and put that in the bottom of the form and then pour your concrete (with the contact paper on the bottom, sticky side up). Depending on the size of the stepping stone, you may want to put some wire in the concrete for reinforcement. If you don't want little pebbles, then use the concrete w/out pebbles. I've done it both ways (with glass) and each process looks good. I'll send some pics when I get home. |

Sounds like U got some good advise. I think I would do like Slow says and use thinset to put on mmore tiles then grout...Let us know what U do and add some pics please. We all love seeing those pics |
- Posted by chinatreasures (My Page) on Thu, Jul 23, 09 at 18:17
halley, as promised, here are the pics of my stepping stone. All except the sunflower were made using the indirect method (i.e., putting the glass on contact paper, placing the contact paper face up in the mold and then pouring the concrete on top). The sunflower was made using a pre-made stepping stone, gluing the glass onto the top and grouting the top and sides. One other thing I would like to point out is if you are using a material that is slippery (glass or glazed tile) be sure to leave enough concrete or grout exposed to prevent slipping when stepping on the stones when they are wet. Good luck and show us picture of your finished stones! |
