Always epilate after a warm shower or bath, so the skin will be warm and the pores and hair shafts will be open. This will make the epilation more efficient and cause less discomfort. Wait for 30-60 minutes after you epilate before you put on any creams or moisturizers. It is best to use an all-natural moisturizer, like pure aloe for the first few days after epilating. Clean your machine after every use. Use the brush to gently whisk away loose hairs. Blowing on the epilating head is a great way to clean it. At our service center, we use a bottle of compressed air to blow high pressure wind on the epilating head while it is rotating to get all the stubborn hairs off. DO NOT remove the silver bar from the epilating head. It holds the head together, and under tension, so it will function properly.

Caramelized Apple Tart in a Browned Butter Custard
Autumn is an awe-inspiring, beautiful season in most parts of the US. Brightly-colored leaves cover the trees, and we begin to see hints of crimson, yellow and orange dotting the landscape as winds clear the branches bare.
Apples of all kinds are begging to be plucked from their trees, and they're plentiful and affordable in the markets too. It's the time of year when I begin to dream up recipes that will utilize all of those fabulous apples. I scour my archives and cookbooks for ideas, creating a pile of 'must-make' recipes that is much too ambitious for the season. This one made it through first: Caramelized Apple Tart in Brown Butter Custard.
Crisp, Granny Smith's are sauteed in bubbling butter & sugar until properly golden and covered in a drippy, caramelly syrup.
For the custard, sugar & eggs are beaten until thick and fluffy… then flour, salt and nutty browned butter are blended in. The custard is poured into an already baked tart shell, and the apples are placed on top in desired decorative fashion.
My apples sunk into the custard when I placed them, so I saved a handful and placed those into the tart after it had baked for about 15 minutes- at that point, the custard had firmed up slightly, and the apples were easily placed into the tart and stayed visible in the final baked product.
This tart can be made in a regular 11-inch-round tart pan. I thought it might be more interesting to make it in my rectangular tart pan, and it was easier (when chilled) to cut into bars for serving. You can't really go wrong with browning butter… it seems to make everything taste way more amazing than expected (same goes for caramelizing). The tart crust was buttery and flaky. The custard wrapped itself around the caramelized apples and firmed up when baked. A little freshly whipped cream spooned on top and it was perfect.

- Zach McCann of the Orlando Sentinel: "So, Dwight Howard can hit mid-range jumpers now? That doesn't concern the Washington Wizards. Coach Flip Saunders and center JaVale McGee both reiterated the same point: they'd rather have Howard shooting jumpers than scoring in the paint. […] Saunders mentioned Karl Malone as a player who expanded his game from the low-post to out away from the basket. He believes Howard could become 'nearly unstoppable' when he progresses his offensive game to that point, but right now he's not all that afraid of Howard's jumpers."
- Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "There won't be any surprises in the Orlando Magic starting lineup for tonight's season opener against the Washington Wizards. Coach Stan Van Gundy said moments ago that his starters will be Jameer Nelson at point guard, Vince Carter at shooting guard, Quentin Richardson at small forward, Rashard Lewis at power forward and Dwight Howard at center. Point guard Jason Williams will be on the team's active roster tonight, Van Gundy said. Big man Malik Allen will be on the inactive list."
- Head coach Flip Saunders is wary of the Washington Wizards receiving a "haymaker" early in tonight's game against the Orlando Magic: "There's going to be an unbelievable amount of energy in this building with the new building. Orlando, they're playing extremely well. They've got something to prove, and they've been one of the top three teams in this league the last three years and not a lot of people are talking about them right now."
- Win one for the Amway Center? Say what? Note J.J. Redick's response.
- Brian Schmitz talks about the artwork at the new arena.
- George Diaz of the Orlando Sentinel conducts an excellent Q/A with Bob Vander Weide, CEO of the Magic. Here's a snippet from Vander Weide: "I don't hear our guys saying anything about respect because once they get on the court they get the respect. The only thing they might say is we're a little sick hearing about Miami. But I think every team that plays us, knowing where we've been the last two years, is going to respect us on the floor. Does that mean that somebody on ESPN is going to call us out as the champions to be? Who cares?"
- Dress up head coach Stan Van Gundy!
- Evan Dunlap of Orlando Pinstriped Post: "The team was at its very best with Nelson running the show on offense, and wasn't too bad with him on defense, either. As such, he owns the team's second-best efficiency differential. Lewis is the team's best option at either forward slot, which lends credence to Van Gundy's idea that it's best to move Lewis around based on matchups, which in turn gives the Magic comfort with different, versatile offensive approaches. I'm surprised we saw so litle of Carter at small forward, given how often he and Redick paired up on the wings in the postseason. And [Marcin] Gortat got hardly any time alongside Howard in a big lineup, though when together, they proved effective."

I have a friend that wants to have a destination wedding that will be able to accommodate just a small amount of people about 25. There has to be a ceremony location, reception and housing for everyone. Not necessarily all at one location, but close. They would like it to overlook a lake, or just a beautiful view. Does anyone have any ideas? She lives in the Western part of NY, but is considering all parts of the state except the NY City area. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are tons of Bed & Breakfast locations in the Finger Lakes area of NY. She will probably have to do a lot of legwork as far as looking at websites and calling, but I would think that there would be a several locations where she could have the ceremony. Then it would be a matter of booking the rooms in nearby B&Bs. My guess is that any place that is set up for weddings has already dealt with this situation and can help her make arrangements. It's a beautiful area. Those lakes would make a wonderful backdrop for a wedding! |
And if they like baseball, they can head over to Cooperstown, too. |
My brother and SIL had their wedding reception at the Genesse Country Village, which is near Rochester. Their wedding was in the afternoon and all wedding guests had free admission to the Village for the entire day of the wedding. It was one of the nicest weddings I've been to. The food was excellent and the staff was great. No lake, just a trout stream, but some lovely views and gardens. You can't sleep there, but the Genesse Country Inn claims to be walking distance away. |

Profile of a national crusader |
Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak Founder, Sulabh Sanitation Movement. |
His Holiness Pope John Paul - II gave audience to Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak before awarding him with international St. Francis Prize for the Environment "Canticle of All Creatures" in 1992 |
The widespread phenomenon of open defecation remains grim even after 50 years of India's Independence. Especially women have to suffer a lot due to non-availability of toilets. Even today 110 million Indian houses have no toilets and 10 million houses have bucket toilets causing filth and diseases. The situation is so appalling that about half million children die every year due to dehydration caused by open defecation.
Dr Pathak receiving National Citizen's Award from the then President, Dr. Shanker Dayal Sharma |
The Dubai International Award for best practises to improve the living Environment. |
After Gandhi Dr. Pathak is the man, more than any other in India, who has championed sanitation and upliftment of the untouchables as mission of his life. For the last three decades he has been working relentlessly to keep the ecosystem clean and bring the marginalised sections of the society in the mainstream. He gave new dimension to the Gandhian movement and broadbased his principled fight against all kinds of discrimination. The New York Times, in the article 'Untouchables gain the help of a Brahmin', hailed him as a "full-time crusader against the humiliations of untouchability". His contribution in abolishing the inhuman practice of scavenging is seminal and unparalleled in the sense that he not only studied the social evil but provided its categorical solution through a low-cost toilet-technology and developed a self-sustaining sanitation system across the country. In the process of providing alternative to scavenging and rehabilitation and social upgradation of scavengers, Dr. Pathak created a pan-Indian network with 50,000 volunteers and gave birth to what is popularly known as Sulabh Sanitation Movement. "No body should go outside for defecation and every house in India should have a toilet" has become the passionate obsession of Dr. Pathak.
In 1991, Dr. Pathak was conferred Padma Bhushan by the President of India Mr R.Venkataraman for his "distinguished social service" |
Radical beginning
Dr. Pathak, Founder of Sulabh International Social Organisation, was born on April 2, 1943 in a respectable Brahmin family of village Rampur Baghel in Vaishali district of Bihar. After college education and some odd jobs that came his way, he joined the Bhangi-Mukti (scavengers' liberation) cell of the Bihar Gandhi Centenary Celebrations Committee in 1968 and he was intimately exposed to the problems of scavengers in India. Dr. Pathak travelled all over the country, visited and lived with scavengers in their bastis, studied their habits and social mores (he did his Ph. D. on scavenging), their history and geographical spread to eventually declare that scavengers were a special class united in their miseries and social degradation. "Let us save them from squalid conditions and in doing so we'll be saving the national conscience", Dr. Pathak said. Significantly, it was not a mere emotional outburst of young Dr. Pathak, who by that time had fully equipped himself intellectually to construct an irrefutable thesis on the subject. He knew that slogans alone will not help and, hence, developed a technology which has become a credible alternative to scavenging in India.

Dr. Pathak sought to abolish scavenging not only out of sympathy for scavengers but also out of the belief that it is a primitive, expensive and unhygienic practice which may create an explosive situation in which case a highly dissatisfied group will turn lumpen and work to destroy the social system. For that matter, the Sulabh Movement is different from other social movements: it is an indigenous concept based on experience and tested scientifically, combining in itself an appropriate technology and demand for social morality. In simpler words, while other movements identified problems and injustices in society but failed to find solutions, Dr. Pathak identified problems, developed a self-sustaining system, gave an appropriate technology and, finally, solved the problem. Dr. Pathak lived with scavenger families, and did rigorous research, before he launched the movement.
A technological breakthrough
Technology has played a decisive role in the Sulabh Sanitation Movement. During Mahatma Gandhi's life and even after several attempts were made to develop a low-cost toilet technology no tangible result emerged. Dr. Pathak intervened successfully, gave the solution, applied the technology and showed to the engineers, administrators, planners and masses about its functioning. It was a breakthrough in the Government of India's programme for eradication of scavenging as the Sulabh system is affordable, acceptable to the masses and could be set up with the available local facilities. Thus, a low-cost technology was developed by Dr. Pathak to make towns and villages scavenging-free.

Sanitation movement gathers momentum
Following rapid adoption of the Sulabh technology of pour-flush toilet system, more than 240 towns have been freed from scavenging and 50,000 scavengers liberated and resettled in other professions. It was possible by converting 10,00,000 bucket latrines into Sulabh toilets. Moreover, Sulabh has built 3,200 community toilets with bath, laundry and urinal facilities operated on pay-and-use basis. Sulabh is now operating in 338 districts of 25 states with over 50,000 trained and experienced workers. Dr. Pathak has achieved this stupendous success, working with a narrow resource base and almost single-handedly, leading a voluntary and non-profit making agency. One cannot recall many names who have achieved so much for so many in such a short time. Dr. Pathak did that quietly without much fanfare.

Public toilet-cum-bath complexes
The year 1974 is a landmark in the history of sanitation when the system of operating and maintaining community toilets with bathing, laundry and urinal facilities (popularly known as Sulabh Shauchalaya Complex) with attendants service round the clock was initiated on the pay-and-use basis in Patna. Now Sulabh is operating and maintaining more than 5,500 community complexes in 1075 towns across the country. One such complex is in Bhutan. These complexes have electricity and 24-hours water supply. The complexes have separate enclosures for men and women. The users are charged nominal sum for using toilets and bath facilities. Some of the Sulabh complexes are also provided with bath with shower facility, cloak-rooms, telephone and primary healthcare. These complexes have been widely welcomed both by the people and the authorities due to their cleanliness and good management. Pay-and-use system ensures self-sustainability without any burden on public exchequer or local bodies. The complexes have also improved the living environment considerably.
Dr Pathak received Indira Gandhi Priyadarshini Award at a colourful function in 1994 in New Delhi |
After establishing neat and clean toilet complexes and liberating scavengers, Sulabh has set up a number of vocational training institutes. Here liberated scavengers, their sons and daughters and persons from other weaker sections of society are given training in various vocations like computer technology, typing and shorthand, electrical trade, woodcraft, leathercraft, diesel and petrol engineering, cutting and tailoring, cane furniture making, masonry work, motor driving etc. The purpose of imparting vocational training to them is to give them new means of livelihood, alleviate poverty and bring them into the mainstream of society.
Sulabh has set up an English medium School in Delhi for children of the scavengers, the first of its kind in India. Half the number of children are from scavenger families and the remaining half from other castes. This heterogeneous composition ensures that there is enough interaction between kids of scavengers and others. The school aims to prepare children from weaker sections of society for a better life. It brings quality education within the reach of boys and girls from scavenger families.
Dr. Pathak continues his crusade for a better and egalitarian society but the stigma of untouchability remains deep-rooted. A step-by-step programme for removal of this social curse has been initiated. In 1988, Dr. Pathak led 100 scavengers along with Vedic Brahmins to the famous Nathdwara temple in Rajasthan with a view to promoting social integration. In 1993, Sulabh embarked on a noble programme of social upgradation and integration of thousands of scavenger families. Under this programme, Dr. Pathak has made an open appeal to the elite of society to have social interaction with at least one such family to enable them to lead a dignified life as equals in the society. India's Prime Minister Mr. I.K. Gujral was among the first few who responded warmly to this suggestion and adopted one scavenger's family. So far 5,000 scavenger families have been socially upgraded and brought in the mainstream of the society. Similar programmes are envisaged in a phased manner throughout the country for the removal of untouchability and restoration of human rights and dignity to those who have been deprived of basic civil rights for generations.
Technology mingles with humanitarianism
In 1970, Dr. Pathak launched the Sulabh Sanitation Movement with setting up a social, voluntary and non-profit making organisation, Sulabh Shauchalaya Sansthan (which later became Sulabh International Social Service Organisation) to carry forward the movement which combined in itself sanitation technology and Dr. Pathak's humane ideology. This Movement, like any other gradual revolution, seeks to change the social structure through reforms based on social consent and technology, judiciously combined in a package to subserve the ultimate goal for which Dr. Pathak has worked all his life, braving the gauntlet of criticism and social scorn which only strengthened his determination to succeed where no one did before. Sulabh is a protest movement, born out of concern for the liberation of scavengers from the demeaning practice of carrying human excreta on the head. Revolution is a sudden event while the movement indicates a slow gradual development. Sulabh is a movement because it developed step-by-step from technology to liberation to training to rehabilitation and, finally, to social upgradation when scavengers will be absorbed in the social system and scavenging will end forever.
Dr. Pathak with Mr. I.K.Gujral, former Prime Minister of India |
Biogas from human excreta
Dr. Pathak is probably the first person in the world who has promoted on a massive scale, the idea of obtaining biogas from human excreta collected in large-sized public toilets used by 2,000 to 5,000 persons a day. Despite overwhelming odds, he got the first such biogas plant set up at Patna in 1982 after almost six years of research. The successful and satisfactory functioning of this plant encouraged him to replicate the project all over the country and today some sixty eight such biogas plants, connected with large-sized public toilets, are operating successfully in many states of the country. It has been amply demonstrated by Dr. Pathak that in the absence of sewerage facility, the best option for human waste disposal, to be used in conjunction with large public toilets, is the biogas plant. It has the added advantage of being a source of renewable energy which is lacking in the septic tank system.
Biogas from water hyacinth
Biogas from water hyacinth in dried and pulverised form is another achievement of Dr. Pathak. While others had been using this waterweed in its green form by either chopping or pre-treating it with chemicals, Dr. Pathak conducted experiments on dried and pulverised water hyacinth. Although the gas yield in the dried form is about 5-6% less, it is convenient in handling, storage and transportation. This form also lends itself better for blending with cow-dung, human excreta or other vegetable wastes used as feed material for biogas production. Yet another 'first' to Dr. Pathak's credit is the granulated organic manure obtained from the dried sludge of biogas plants.

Low-cost waste water treatment
Waste water syndrome and its concomitant river and environment pollution currently afflicts nearly all the 5000 odd towns and cities of India, posing a big challenge to ensure safe and healthy living environment for ever-increasing number of city dwellers. One of the major problems with waste water treatment methods is that none of the available technologies has direct economic return. The available technologies are unaffordable due to high capital and maintenance costs. Recently Sulabh has taken up research-cum-demonstration projects on duckweed based low-cost waste water treatment in collaboration with concerned government agencies. The ambitious projects are underway in some rural as well as urban areas with direct economic return from pisciculture and use of duckweed as nutritious feed for poultry and animals.
Solid waste management
Solid waste management has been an increasing problem causing health hazards and environmental pollution. Composting is an important method of biodegradable solid waste management having direct / indirect economic return in the form of manure and soil conditioner. Sulabh has developed a new technology which requires only 5-6 days to make compost from any biodegradable waste without manual handling during composting. Besides quick conversion of wastes into compost, it also helps control diseases transmitted from wastes, as at high temperature pathogens are eliminated from the compost.
Poverty alleviation and rural development
Dr. Pathak also gave the concept of 'change agent' for poverty alleviation and rural development. Train a man in a skill and he will find a job for himself. With this conviction, he launched a massive programme to expand human resource base at the grassroots level. Human resource development includes creating ability and willingness to acquire skills and, thus, maximise utilisation of available resources and raise productivity per unit of land and capital. The increase in the level of skill, education, health and experiences are the indices of human resource development of a society. Dr. Pathak's approach has been to develop and expand human resource base at the village level and train youths to work to become catalytic agents working between the suppliers of resources and the beneficiaries.
Sulabh is leading a well-orchestrated campaign for rural development. It is imparting participatory training to school teachers and students in the fields of environmental sanitation and community health. The trained students are playing the role of catalysts to bring about requisite changes in rural areas. Sulabh international Institute of Rural Development, Research and Training (SIIRD) is giving shape to several other projects.
Ensuring health and hygiene
Sulabh International Institute of Health and Hygiene (SIIHH) was started to develop healthcare and sanitation model of urban slums and villages. Dr. Pathak's initiative to involve teachers and students in sanitation education and training of women in urban-slums in sanitation and healthcare is radical in its outlook and humane in its approach. Under its medicare programme, Sulabh has also opened healthcare centres in community toilet complexes. These centres being run in co-ordination with government health units, are providing yeoman's health service to the urban poor. It is training women volunteers in urban slums in collaboration with some national and international agencies. Hundreds of volunteers have been trained in 158 slums. Sulabh is promoting women group formations after training, which will ensure self-sustainable development. SIIHH is working in collaboration with USAID, UNICEF, Delhi government, Family Health International, AIDSCAP on many people-friendly projects. The Institute is also disseminating healthcare messages including AIDS awareness through handbooks and pamphlets in public interest. Recently it has published a popular manual on 'Women and Sanitation'.
Museum of Toilets
Sulabh has also established this Museum of Toilets in New Delhi. The Museum has rare collection of artefacts, pictures and objects detailing the historic evolution of toilets since 2,500 BC. Moreover, the Museum wing under Dr. Pathak's guidance has undertaken the task of publishing an Encyclopaedia of Sanitation, which perhaps will be the first of its kind in the world.
Championing Action Sociology
Mr I.K.Gujral, former Prime Minister of India, was among many eminent persons who adopted scavenger families on May 2, 1994 at a function in New Delhi |
An action-oriented movement, Sulabh does not believe in mere armchair analysis of problems. Instead of studying ripples and indulging in sheer rhetoric, it strives to create its own waves. Waves symbolising major initiatives for social changes. For instance, Sulabh loves to work for removal of human rights violations through its constructive programmes. Championing human rights through mere words (and taking the matters to Amnesty International) has never been the Sulabh ideal. It has been a philosophy of action and a sociology in action.
Prolific writing
A versatile personality, Dr. Pathak has authored several well-received books including Road to Freedom. Besides, he has been frequently contributing thought-provoking write-ups on diverse topics for serious newspapers and magazines. He edits Sulabh India, a development monthly magazine published in English and Hindi.
He has participated and presented papers in a large number of national and international seminars. Dr. Pathak is a widely-travelled person and has visited many countries to disseminate the Sulabh message and technology and to exchange ideas on environmental sanitation and growth with international experts in the field. The Press, both in India and abroad, has widely covered Sulabh's stupendous track-record. Distinguished visitors from more than 70 countries have visited Sulabh headquarters in Delhi and have appreciated Dr. Pathak's spirited striving for sanitation and development with equity. Eminent journalists and writers have written extensively on Dr. Pathak - sketching his multi-faceted personality and extraordinary achievements.
Innovative leadership
Sulabh is now diversifying into a number of innovative and environment-friendly development projects to uplift the lot of the poor. Under the dynamic and inspiring leadership of Dr. Pathak a dedicated team of sociologists, scientists, engineers, journalists and public-spirited persons, has built a large national network and Sulabh is all set to write a glorious chapter in the annals of post-independent India.
Dr. Pathak has become synonymous with Sulabh (its toilets are being used by
10 million persons every day) which in turn has become byword for public toilets
in India. Besides, being recipient of several awards, laurels and distinctions,
Dr. Pathak is a member of numerous national and international agencies / committees
on environmental sanitation, urban development and related areas. He is also
deeply associated with many social, cultural and philanthropic organisations.
He has rendered yeoman's service to make our society and environment more healthy
and harmonious. He did what no social reformer managed to achieve - he blended
his humanitarian philosophy with an environment-friendly technology. It is for
these remarkable achievements that he has become a household name in India,
and is held in high esteem by a grateful society. Mulk Raj Anand, India's leading
writer, has correctly observed, "What Abraham Lincoln did for Blacks in America,
Dr. Pathak has done for scavengers in India. Both are great redeemers".

Sulabh Sanitation Movement - A Low Cost Solution to Success
Nearly 80 per cent of the country's population still either defecate in open or use unsanitary bucket latrines or smelly public toilets as per one estimate. This is true even in urban areas where hardly 20 per cent of the population has access to water/flush toilets connected to a sewerage system and only 14 per cent enjoy water-borne toilets connected to septic tanks or leach pits. In rural areas a mere 3 per cent of the population has access to sanitary toilets. This lack of adequate sanitation is responsible for severe health problems. Cholera, dysentery, typhoid, para-typhoid, infectious hepatitis and many other diseases can be traced to the unsanitary disposal of human excreta. Lack of sanitation also has grave social consequences, the need to have 'night soil' removed has given rise to the profession of 'scavenging' or collecting it from bucket latrines, the streets and other locations. Though, this practice has been banned and the Indian Constitution bans the segregation of those who service this profession, there are many pockets in the country where the practice continues unabated. Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, a non-governmental organisation, founded by Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, has in partnership with local Governments demonstrated the success of low cost sanitation technology throughout the country. Their solution called the Sulabh Shauchalaya is a low cost, pour flush, water-seal toilet with twin leach pits for on site disposal of human waste. The technology has many advantages. It is affordable, even by the economically weaker sections of the society, and is designed to suit different levels of income. Flushing requires only two litres of water, instead of 10 litres needed by a conventional toilet. The toilet can never be out of commission, since, one of the two pits can always be used while the other is being serviced. The latrine can be built with locally available material. It can be conveniently upgraded as it is a stand-alone, on-site unit that can be connected to a sewer system as and when the latter is introduced in the area. So far, more than 700,000 units have been constructed or substituted for existing latrines in houses and more than 3000 have been installed as pay-and-use public toilets. The latter are staffed by full time attendant and provide facilities including soap powder for washing hands, for bathing and for laundry and offer free services to children, disabled and poor. Thus, nearly 10 million people have been provided with improved, low cost sanitation and at the same time nearly 50,000 employment opportunities have been created in a commercially viable enterprise. As a social spin-off the enterprise has resulted in liberating about 50,000 scavengers from their enforced profession. A key to the success of Sulabh Shauchalaya lies in creating public awareness and seeking community participation in implementing and maintaining the infrastructure. The organisation is also working with local groups on production of biogas from human excreta accessed from community toilets, and on generation of electricity. Its research and development activities are geared to seeking practical, low cost solution for solid and liquid waste disposal, including re-cycling in a financially sustainable manner.

I bought at Lowes one of those cubes with a D Adelae which I repotted.
I also got from ebay 2 Pinguicula Moctezumae. Is it ok to keep them in the same container or tray with an inch of distilled water? Or it will make the Ping rot? I found a lot of info about the Drosera and other Pinguiculas but I am confused about the one I have if it should be more "dry" than the Drosera... I got them to maybe deal with gnats near my orchids. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The ping I believe should NOT be in a water tray. I keep mine out of water trays and just keep the soil moist. The Adelae can and needs to go in a water tray. |
thanks - I use an Ikea clear container as a high "walled" tray. if i keep both in the same container with the Drosera in the water and the Pinguicula on top of a flat stone or small brick above the water level would be okay? doesnt the mexican Ping Moctezumae require high humidity? |
- Posted by hunterkiller03 9 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 25, 09 at 0:30
Be careful about the brick, it may leach minerals into the water. |
thanks - that isis smart thinking... do you think if i use some small ikea metal pot upside down [ steel or aluminum i guess] would leak metal to the water? what could i use? |
actually i have a few wooden soap holders from ikea that may do the trick... |
- Posted by petiolaris Neutral (My Page) on Sat, Jul 25, 09 at 10:26
i bought one in a death cube from lowes and i don't know how to take it out of the death cube with out hurting it please help!!!!!!!!! |
Turn it over and dump everything out holding the plastic liner and pot firmly. Then cut the plastic liner or frame or whatever it's called with scissors. |
BTW one post would do the trick. |

With funding from Advent International, controlling holding company of Kroton will inject R$220 million for a capital increase in the company to support its expansion plans
Kroton Educacional S.A. (Bovespa: KROT11) – "Kroton" or "the Company", one of the largest private education companies in Brazil, and Advent International, a global private equity firm, today announced an agreement in which PAP (Pitágoras Administração e Participação S.A.), the holding company that controls Kroton with 55% of its capital, will receive a capital injection of R$280 million from Advent International, R$220 million of which will be used to fund a capital increase in Kroton through a private subscription of additional shares in a total amount of up to R$387.9 million. After the deal, Advent will have 50% of PAP and indirectly approximately 28% of Kroton.
Kroton is Advent's 15th investment in Brazil since 1997, when it started its activities in the country. Funding for this deal will come from LAPEF IV (Latin American Private Equity Fund IV) raised in 2007 and capitalized at US$ 1.3 billion. Since the raising of LAPEF IV, Advent has already invested in four companies in Brazil: Viena, Brazil's leading casual dining restaurant chain, Frango Assado, Brazil's leading highway restaurant chain, Quero-Quero, a home-improvement retailer in southern Brazil and CETIP, the largest central depository for private fixed-income securities and over-the-counter derivatives in Latin America.
Founded in 1966, Kroton offers primary, secondary and post-secondary education programs throughout Brazil. In the K-12 segment (kindergarten to high school), the company has 654 associate schools in Brazil that make use of its Pitagoras learning system. In the post-secondary segment, it has 28 campuses (17 Pitagoras units which offer 4- to 5-year undergraduate and 1-year graduate programs and 11 INED units which offer 2.5- to 3-year associate programs). Kroton has more than 43,000 post-secondary students and 226,000 K-12 students.
Since July 2007, when Kroton raised R$455.8 million (US$245 million) with its initial public offering on Bovespa, the Company has embarked on an aggressive expansion plan, which has included the acquisition of 12 colleges and the opening of new campuses. Today, Kroton has the highest growth rate of any education company in Brazil, with net revenues of R$279.6 million and EBITDA of R$51.5 million in 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, the company posted net revenues of R$ 107.5 million and an EBITDA of R$35.7 million, rising 51.4% and 37.6% respectively over the year-earlier figures.
"Kroton combines high-quality education services, a proven track record of organic and acquisition-led growth and a highly-skilled management. We believe the company provides a strong platform from which to consolidate the education sector in Brazil and we look forward to working with the management team to accelerate the expansion of the business," said Juan Pablo Zucchini, a Managing Director in Advent International's São Paulo office. Mr. Zucchini led the investment in Kroton.
"It's a very fragmented market, with many opportunities ahead", Mr. Zucchini added. "The Brazilian education sector has been growing at a compound annual rate of 10% over the past decade and is still characterized by a low number of students with post-secondary degrees, even relative to other countries in Latin America."

Fawn's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and good with cats.

Her mother, Tinkerbell, came to us as a stray from Oxnard and very pregnant. Our vet graciously took her in and raised her and her babies. Our vet kept Tinkerbell as a hospital cat and we are finding great homes for her babies. Fawn was born on December 7th, 2012, along with her sisters. She is getting spayed and combo tested this week as well as her first vaccination. She has been flea treated! She will be ready for a new home next weekend.
Sibs: Rosetta and Glimmer
The adoption fee is $80 for one kitten and $150 for two! That includes: fixing, combo test, flea treatment, deworming, vaccinations and medications.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fawn, a Simi Valley Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Simi Valley, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Simi Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Stephen Hill
Senior Vice President, Music & On-Air Talent
A small Southeast Washington home, a single-digit aged kid with a close-and-play record player to his right and a portable cassette player to his left. As the last strains and harmonies of the song faded, this kid said out loud to everyone, though no one was in the room, 'That was the Temps with Cloud Nine. Now here's Johnny Taylor with 'Who's Making Love'.' Cassette player button pressed. Desire begun. Hill began his career (after the previously mentioned auspicious beginning) at WBRU-Providence, his alma mater, Brown University's radio station. Morning Drive modern rock jock during the week, smoother on the weekends for the R&B programming. Oh sure, the grades suffered because he was always at the station, but his parents claim they didn't mind wasting the money. Really. After college, Hill-bahn taught at Groton School and worked as a corporate lending officer at the Bank of Boston before being pulled into the music business by the wonderful and talented Elroy Smith who was then Program Director at WILD-AM, Boston. Initially hired as a weekend personality, upon Smith's departure, Hill-boo was named Program Director. In 1993, after his team and he had taken the AM daytimer station to its' highest ratings ever (beating 6 full-time FM stations in the process), Der Hill-meister headed to Dallas to frame the architecture of ABC Radio Networks' Urban Gold Format. Following that Hilly served as the first Executive Producer of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, then in its infancy. Also while in Dallas, he ate at Pappadeaux. A lot. 1995 brought an offer Hill-dog could not refuse as Director, Music Programming at MTV. Hill-shier was involved in selecting and programming all genres of videos for airplay, working with talent, the standards process, and basically having more fun than humans should be allowed to have by law. In 1999, Hill-o-rama moved to BET as VP, Music Programming and Talent. There, he and his team loaded up the truck and took BET Music from Washington, DC to NY and, as well, took the channel's music show ratings to it's highest levels ever. Recent accomplishments of BET Music are the creations and productions of BET: Testimony, Access Granted and the show BET: Blueprint. Excitement abounds. In 2001, Hill took a turn in front of the camera to guest host the BET Tonight special on Aaliyah which won an NAACP image award. Hill-money is unbelievably excited about being involved in BET's highest rated season ever. Blame him for 'Cita' and 'Hits from the Street', and the wildly successful '106 & Park' being the highest rated video show on the T and V. But NOT for AJ's hair.

Jeanne...lovely table. Very soft & cool (weather wise) looking! Your dishes are so pretty and compliment your (shower curtain) table cloth perfectly. I love the soft colors and leafy pattern of both. Your frosted glasses w/etched bees & dragonflies, are very differnt and complete the look so nicely. I like the centerpiece you put together. The greenery with the garden fairies add to the sereneness of everything. I've been putting off doing a Summer table, and realized, like you, time is moving quickly, and soon it will be over. Now after seeing your lovely table, you've given me a push to 'get going'. jane |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 1:17
Love the soft colors, and agree with Jane that its a 'cool' look in this summer heat. Made me feel like I'm sitting under a big ol' shade tree. The shower curtain made a perfect tablecloth. And especially the way it goes with those neat bowls! I love fairies as you know, yours are so pretty. Yep, this is definitely my kind of table! |
Jeanne, Such a pretty late Summer table. Using the shower curtain as a table cloth is perfect. It looks wonderful with the pretty bowls and GS glasses. I really love the glasses. Your fairies are so sweet They seem to be hypnotized by the bubbles. The greens in the cp are perfect. I really enjoyed this table. TFS Nana |
Jeanne, your table is a neat one, girlfriend! Love the calming effect it gives. The dishes are so pretty and the glasses w/napkins inside added a nice touch. All of your great finds go together so well. Glad I'm not the only one who used a shower curtain for a tc.LOL You found the perfect one for this table! I still have mine hanging with my other tc's in case I need it again. The fairies with their pond is so stinkin' cute. Like Nana said "They seem to be hypnotized by the bubbles." We all know Karen loves fairies so this ts made me think of her right off. Nice that you had the different leaves to use for your cp. Your so good at putting things together and your pictures are wonderful. Glad to hear this might have inspired Jane to whip out a ts soon!!! Punk |
- Posted by maximavswife (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 10:38
Gosh I just love this table! Like Karen, I too love fairies and yours just fit this table so well. Love the bubbles too, what a great idea. I will now be looking closer at the shower curtains at the thrift stores, another great idea and way to think outside the box! The greenery you chose is perfect. Plates and glasses are beautiful and should they ever need a new home, my hand is up first LOL. TFS this beautiful summer table! Kath |
- Posted by marlene_2008 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 13:09
Well Jeanne, you've done it again! Beautiful table setting! The shower curtain goes so well with your dishes! And I am coveting those glasses! LOVE the fairies and the bubble pond too.....thanks for sharing! |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 18:15
Thanks, Holiday-ers! That shower curtain idea came from punk! I knew someone had done that but couldn't remember who...it's fabric...guess I don't have to iron or worry about spills! LOL! I'm not too much into 'fairies' (like our Purplemoon here on the forum)...her's are always so darn cute! But these garden fairies I keep out all yr round on porch corner cupboard...they do look 'summery' & we need to keep summer here awhile longer! Those bubbles are quite fun...when they shrink a bit, you just add water! They are nice & full today...guess I got them in Dec 2009 cause here's a couple pics of the way I used them for Winter decor: Glad you enjoyed...thanks again for your comments, Holiday-ers! Jeanne S. |
- Posted by janet1_2007 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 19:46
Jeanne, what a neat table. I love it! So relaxing and such a great color combo. I love the way you used the greenery and those faries are so darling. I don't think I have seen the marbles at my DT, but will make a point to look for some, I love the look and the last pic with the Christmas decos is something I would like to do. TFS Janet |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Thu, Aug 18, 11 at 22:33
Thanks maxi, marlene & janet...appreciate your comments. janet...if DT doesn't have the liquid marbles, then maybe it's another Dollar store name. They come in round plastic clear canisters. In my Holiday one, I used a red 'jar candy' & then added the liquid marbles...it looked pretty cool. Hope you find 'em! Jeanne S. |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Aug 22, 11 at 0:54
Gosh, I think the other's have said it all. The bowls leaf pattern goes so well with the tc you found, and a centerpiece of various shaped leaves makes a perfect centerpiece. The little fairies are wonderful and add a touch of fun--really looks like they are engrossed with those "bubbles" for sure. Your handles on the silverware tie in nicely with the colors in the tc too. It all looks just perfect together. TFS Luvs |
Janet, I got some of those liquid marbles [bubbles] at Dollar Tree, the label reads Decorative Accents. There is a picture on the label featuring red roses in a clear vase filled with the bubbles. Hope this helps. Nana |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Mon, Aug 22, 11 at 9:51
Great, nana! Thanks for finding them...it is Dollar Tree then. Thanks, luvs, for your comments...we even used this table this weekend as some of kids/gr'kids were home...it was fun! (remember, DH has taught me to be a 'recliner-diner!") Jeanne S. |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Tue, Aug 23, 11 at 3:15
Thanks, Nana. That sure helps me when I go to look for some! hugs, Karen |
Jeanne, love the 'recliner-diner'. I haven't heard that before but it's so true now days. I'm so happy you enjoyed your beautiful table. Our family loves to eat at the bar so we seldom use the table. I'm going to have to look for some bubbles next chance I get. Thanks Nana for letting us know where to find them. Punk |

That is so pretty, J! The colors are cool and refreshing. Such lovely plates too. Love the glassware also! Still plenty of summer here. September is the best month here at the beach. |

I hope you are having a good week so far. I've been busy working in my sewing room and doing a bit of finishing on some of my stitched pieces. I pulled out the tub the other day and was surprised at how many "finished but need to be finished" things were in there. I pulled a few out and thought I'd share them with you. All of the pictures should be clickable for a larger view.
This first one is by Lizzie Kate. I stitched it several years ago and couldn't decide how to finish it. I made it into a pillow for my basket. I LOVE the fabric that I used on it. "Do you see what I see"....love it!
This next one is a Lizzie Kate, too, and may have even been a freebie. It's been so long since I stitched these that I can't remember. Another pillow...
"Wonderland" by Bent Creek made into another pillow.
I'm really getting in the mood to drag out the Christmas decorations. I normally start the week/weekend of November 11th, which is my son's birthday. I put up quite a few trees, and it takes a while to get it all together. I love it! We'll see if it happens this coming weekend.
Well, I'm off to stitch and watch Dancing With the Stars. I hope you are all getting some time to stitch or sew or quilt or whatever makes you happy!
Thank you for visiting, and don't forget to exercise your right to vote tomorrow!
Love and hugs,

Mosaic definition
Name: Linda Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1995
I am writing a project for 4th graders using telecommunications. I de- scribed Mosaic as a multimedia relational database, but I have noticed some journalists refer to it as software. Is it the software that runs a bulletin board system, or is it a new type of bulletin board system?
Mosaic consists of at least one executable file, therefore it is referred to as software. Obviously it is much more than just the program, there are lots of supporting data files so your description seems appropriate as well.
Gregory R Bradburn
Also, I do not think it is a relational database. The "database" is the array of documents available on the world-wide-web (and by anonymous ftp and other methods) - mosaic is just a front-end to all this information. And it does not have the "relational" capabilities usually available - for example, searching for specific information requires either somebody to have already done the searching for you and put it up in their own document (in which case you somehow have to know that document exists) or requires a robot which has nothing to do with mosaic. Mosaic, in other words, is incapable of even the most elementary searches beyond simple browsing. It is good at browsing though.

How the Governor's Proposed Budget Affects CPL
Governor Snyder released his budget proposal last week, and as expected, the news is grim. The cuts to public, school, and university libraries across the state are significant, and will affect the services that CPL will be able to provide to our community — namely, interlibrary loan and research databases.
The Governor has proposed cutting state aid to libraries to $3 million. The statutorily-required funding is $15 million. The current funding level of $5 million automatically qualifies the state to receive a federal matching grant of $5 million, which pays for MeLCat (statewide interlibrary loan) and the Michigan eLibrary (MeL — statewide research databases). Cutting state aid results in a cut to, and possibly a loss of, the matching grant, which puts MeL and MeLCat in jeopardy.
MeL and MeLCat exemplify the resource-sharing, aggregation of services, eliminating duplication of effort, and economies of scale that the Governor has emphasized over and over. More than 300 libraries — public libraries, K-12 libraries, and university libraries — pool this funding to provide services to Michigan residents. The $5 million investment by the state nets a $5 million matching grant, and saves taxpayers nearly $72 million annually, when you consider the cost to each library if they had to purchase these same resources on their own.
The Michigan Library Association has released a response to the proposed 40% cut to state aid to public libraries, and the impact of these cuts to interlibrary loan services and research databases. MLA President Christine Berro, Portage District Library, states,
Libraries are the only community that has successfully achieved statewide group purchasing which the Governor has called for — saving the state $72 million — and that is now at risk. The MeLibrary, MeLCat interlibrary loan and MeL Tests and Tutorials — all resources used for research, education, job seeking and preparation — are in jeopardy. These services are invaluable to students at all levels and across the education spectrum.
For CPL, we estimate it would cost more than $300,000 annually — which we don't have due to our own budget cuts — if we had to subscribe to the MeL research databases on our own (every database listed here that has a purple box with an "M" is a MeL research database; that's 29 out of the 68 we offer). In 2009, 385,523,800 searches were made in MeL by 1,211,455 users.
Canton residents request about 18,000 books from other libraries through MeLCat interlibrary loan annually; without MeLCat, each interlibrary loan would cost a minimum of $5 (some go as high as $20), or about $100,000 annually.
We know how valuable these services are to you, and will continue to monitor the state budget proposals through the revisions that are sure to come.

Hidden deep within the canyon along the banks of Brush Creek, Kessler Canyon awaits travelers and huntsmen ready to awaken their adventurous spirits and experience the wonders of Kessler – from its inspiring Homestead Lodge with its extensive art gallery, to five star dining and more.
Among whispering aspens and aged pinyon pines, this Colorado wildlife experience offers ultra luxe facilities and total solitude with plenty of options for guests to delve into a venturesome escape, and for hunters to pursue their trophy of a lifetime. The lodge experience includes inspiring accommodations, gourmet cuisine and a full-service spa hosted by a friendly professional staff attending to guests' every need.
Set on 23,000 acres of natural splendor to explore, outdoor recreation is the cornerstone of Kessler Canyon. The ranch provides an unparalleled outdoor sportsman's paradise with an abundant variety of recreational opportunities, including ATV and Jeep tours, hiking, biking, fly-fishing, hunting, clay shooting and high-flying wing shooting with superior pointing and flushing dogs. Opportunities for enjoyment are boundless and open to guest customization at Kessler Canyon, as the ranch promotes creativity, self-expression and encourages guests to feel inspired by every experience.
Big game hunting for elk, mule deer and Merriam's turkeys are all fair chase and conducted on private land with tightly controlled access, providing guests the opportunity to harvest their trophy of a lifetime while at the ranch. As Kessler Canyon participates in Colorado's Ranching for Wildlife program, hunters are guaranteed a tag upon booking a hunt and are permitted to use a bow, rifle or muzzleloader. Additionally, state-of-the-art rifle, pistol and clay target shooting is offered for guests to enjoy and hone their hunting skills.
Kessler Canyon's upland bird hunting offers the opportunity to harvest a mixed-bag of ring-necked pheasant, Chukars and Gambel's quail. Hunters will enjoy watching well-trained English Pointers and German Shorthairs lock up on point as eager flushing Labrador Retrievers charge in to put birds into flight. Hunters are transported to the fields aboard custom built, four-door Jeep Wranglers, each fully equipped and driven by an experienced guide. Fly-fishing is another central activity for Kessler Canyon guests, from the skilled angler to the beginner, there's plenty of opportunity to catch trophy rainbows and brown trout fishing on the ranch's four lakes, or stalk the native Colorado cutthroats along Brush Creek.
For active adventurers, ATV tours, mountain biking and hiking take guests up 8,500 feet along switchback trails to the top of the mesa where they can explore nature at its most primitive state. Upon returning to the lodge, guest will find gourmet meals, 5-star amenities and superlative guest service, all part of the Kessler Canyon experience.

Instruction is available for recreational and competitive shotgun, upland bird and wing shooting, target and self-defense pistol, long range rifle, and tactical carbine, as well as concealed carry training. Individual, group and corporate instruction can be arranged with advance notice.
Combining the most experienced instructors with the finest brands of outdoor gear, such as Swarovski, Weatherby, CC Filson, Danner, and Kryptic, Kessler Canyon Shooting Academy is the most unique instructional and shooting experience the country has to offer. With 3,000 feet of elevation, coupled with diverse weather patterns, the ranch is one of the most challenging and rewarding testing-grounds for any level shooter.
