I've been searching for some sort of sheer jacket/shirt-type thing so you can imagine how thrilled I was to find this piece. It reminds me of the shirt Cher puts on in "Clueless" when her dad asks her if she's going to put something on over the Calvin Klein dress that "looks like underwear."
Well I'm off to the Netherlands! I'm excited to see this beautiful country I've heard so much about. I'm only there for a few days, but I'm hoping to find some time to explore. Have a nice week!

what the hell is that? A dress. Says who? calvin Klein.
I think I have seen Clueless at least 100 times. - June 15, 2010 at 3:17 PM
- Tasha said...
It does remind me of what Cher wears in Clueless! I haven't seen that movie in ages, I should definitely go rent that!
Anyway, you look great, and I really like that Reiss skirt! It's stunning! Have fun on your trip! I"m sure it will be amazing! - June 15, 2010 at 3:39 PM

The shoes totes remind me of a flamingo. I love the kind of bustier detailing on the top - also love the sheerness of your jacket! And the skirt - ahhh love it!

Oh man, yes, it does look exactly like the Clueless shirt! Is it bad that I pretty much have that movie memorized and still quote it far too often?
Have an amazing trip! I have only been to Amsterdam, and that was for a day, but it was beautiful. You'll love it. - June 15, 2010 at 3:45 PM

This year, owner Tony Piedimonte said he expects production to begin during the last week of July and the first week of August.
"We have good acreage this year," he said in mid-June.
Piedimonte said last year proved to be a strong cucumber season.
He said the reason New York growers enjoyed a favorable season was because some other production areas experienced issues.
On July 11, the USDA hadn't issued cucumber prices from North Carolina, but 1 1/9-bushel cartons of mediums from Michigan received $20-20.85, fair quality received $10-10.85, and cartons of 24s received $7-8.85.
The USDA wasn't reporting North Carolina prices last season in late June, but reported 1 1/9-bushel cartons and crates of mediums from Michigan selling for $20-20.85 with cartons of 24s selling for $7-8.35.
New York volume normally runs through early October.
Growers normally begin harvesting bell peppers in late July with larger volumes beginning in early August.
Piedimonte said he expects production to be strong in early August.
"The early ones look OK," he said in mid-June.
"They could stand a little warmer temperatures as peppers like that tropical weather. They have greened up nicely and are coming along fine."
While Piedimonte said last season only brought fair prices, Eden Valley's Walczak characterized the deal as a good pepper season.
"We saw good prices and good demand," Walczak said.
He said prices last year averaged $9.
The USDA on July 11 reported 1 1/9-bushel cartons of green jumbos from eastern North Carolina selling for $14.35 with extra larges at $12-12.35, fair quality at $8-10.35, and larges at $10-10.35.

....I now have a TON of petunia seedlings. What would be the lowest temperature I could subject these seedlings to??
Thanks, Linda |
Follow-Up Postings:
Indoors or out? Outdoors - they'll be dead. Even if the cold temps don't get them, or the cold and damp soil rot them out, the frost will toast them....we have a ways to go before the major danger of frost is past. You could put them in a cold frame, I think - though I'm not too familiar with that, as I've never had one, so can't really advise regarding that. Indoors - normal room temp is fine. |
In warmer parts of the country, petunias are often sold as cold tolerant annuals ( I know...they're tender perennials.). I've seen them withstand temperatures in the low thirties and colder. Open blooms are frost sensitive. |
I winter sowed mine in March. They are now up. We did get some below freezing nights after they germinated and they were touched by the frost but they are still doing well. Marg |

Marg.... That is the answer I was looking for! LOL I need to move mine out to my unheated hoop house...they need to be separated and there is no more room in my house! :-) Looks like I'm a zone warmer than you...so hopefully they will be ok. (our nights are in the mid 30's right now). Thanks again, Linda |
Linda: When I winter sow I put the pots into flats. Both the domes and flats have holes for drainage and air circulation. This time I used 4-cell seeding pack and put that in the trays. The domes help insulate them. It's an easy way to do it. This is my first time trying it and it seems to have worked so well, I will always do it this way from now on. By the way, there are gardeners in colder zones than me and they also do it. Good luck! Marg |
Marge, I live in West Michigan and put petunias in flats outside under frost cloth and sprinklers the 2nd week of April. The sprinklers are low volume(1/4gpm) and are connected to a simple 24V thermostat/ irrigation valve that turns them on at 34 degrees. They form a protective ice layer over the covered plants. The water gives off a couple degrees of heat as it freezes. Sprinklers stay on until temp goes above 36 degrees and the ice coating is crumbly. I have run sprinklers for a week straight with temps as low as 25 degrees with no problems. Be aware that poly cold frames offer little protection from freezing inside. Commercial houses have 2 layers of plastic film that has a small blower inflating air between them; creating an insulating effect. |

12 January 2010
Holocaust survivors have asked Rome's Chief Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni to tell Pope Benedict of their pain at his advancement of the case of Pope Pius XII toward beatification during the visit of Catholic pontiff to Rome's main synagogue on Sunday. "The decision by Pope Benedict to advance the candidacy of Pius to sainthood sent shock waves throughout the dwindling worldwide community of Holocaust survivors," the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants wrote in a letter to Di Segni, according to the 'Reuters' news agency.
Last month, Pope Benedict approved a decree recognizing the "heroic virtues" of Pius, who reigned from 1939 to 1958 and who stands accused by some of not speaking out against the Holocaust. "We believe that the Pope should be received with a loving heart and open arms. In that spirit however, fidelity to truth and memory must be vigorously affirmed," the letter reportedly says, adding: "There were those who courageously aided and spoke out on behalf of the innocent Jewish victims – including much of the Italian nation and individual Catholic institutions. Alas, the Vatican has produced no documents to show Pius was among them."
In a statement last month, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder declared: "As long as the archives of Pope Pius about the crucial period 1939 to 1945 remain closed, and until a consensus on his actions – or inaction – concerning the persecution of millions of Jews in the Holocaust is established, a beatification is inopportune and premature. While it is entirely a matter for the Catholic Church to decide on whom religious honors are bestowed, there are strong concerns about Pope Pius XIIs political role during World War II which should not be ignored."

To the members and participants of SCA Ltd Australia and SCANZ Inc New Zealand,The Australian Board and the New Zealand Committee have developed a joint bullying and harassment policy for our respective members and participants.There have been, and continue to be, a rise in complaints of bullying and harassment in the kingdom. In response to this, and the feedback that Australia's policy wasn't comprehensive enough, and that New Zealand didn't have a policy addressing B&H at all, the Board, Committee and Kingdom Seneschal have discussed at length the importance of having a policy as soon as possible, and what options we had available to us to provide this to our members and participants. A thorough discussion was had about the potential to launch the policy as a pilot vs sending out the policy for consultation.After comprehensive discussions and considerations, we have decided to move forward with a 90-day PILOT for the Bullying & Harassment Policy.We are aware that going live with a policy (even as a pilot) is not standard procedure. Under ordinary circumstances we would not go forward with a policy until we have requested and considered feedback. Unfortunately, we have an urgent need for a new policy.We have agreed overall that our primary responsibility as the governing bodies in this instance is to go live with the pilot. The pilot helps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our members and participants, with immediate effect. Providing you with the support and protection of a policy, and providing our officers with a process that is clear and comprehensive, was deemed to be vital enough to go forward with this variation from the norm so that the policy could be in place for Rowany Festival.In light of this, the Board and Committee have made the following joint decisions:
Please send feedback on the policy to firstname.lastname@example.com - The SCANZ Chair will be undertaking the process of collation and coordination of the responses to the feedback on behalf of both SCANZ and SCA Ltd.The policy is available on the Documents page of this site.The Board and Committee would like to assure the membership that this is a one-off, no precedent action taken in response to an urgent and pressing need. We would also like to thank you all in advance for your cooperation and feedback.Sincerely,Tiffany BrownMelissa MuckartChairChairon behalf of SCA Ltd.on behalf of SCANZ, Inc.

Grammy Pong
OK, here's the deal. I'm horrible at predicting anything. Like, at the beginning of this year's football season, I predicted that Detroit Lions would win the Superbowl. Not good. So, I'm always trying to find new ways to make predictions and this year's Grammy Awards are no different.
I give you "Grammy Pong!"
So here's what I did. I printed up a list of Grammy nominees from the web. Then numbered the nominees 1-5 (Sometimes 6) in the order they appeared on the list. Then grabbed some golden solo cups and numbered them each 1-6. Since most categories only have five nominees, the 6th one was filled with Chocolate Milk. (Might as well reward myself for such a genius idea) Then with each category, I tossed ping pong ball over a "regulation sized beer pong table". Which ever cup it landed in, was my prediction for this year.
So, what follows are this year's Grammy Pong predictions:
*Album of the Year - Mumford & Sons - Babel
*Record of the Year - Gotye feat. Kimbra - "Somebody That I Used to Know"
Best New Artist - The Lumineers
*Best Pop Vocal Album - » Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Song of the Year - Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe"
Best Pop Solo Performance - Katy Perry - "Wide Awake"
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance - Maroon 5 - "Payphone"
Best Dance Recording - Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin - "Don't You Worry Child"
*Best Dance/Electronic Album - Skrillex Bangarang
*Best Rock Performance - The Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"
*Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance - Halestorm - "Love Bites (So Do I)"
Best Rock Song - Mumford & Sons - "I Will Wait"
Best Rock Album - Jack White, Blunderbuss
*Best Alternative Music Album - Gotye, Making Mirrors
Best R&B Performance - Estelle - "Thank You"
Best Traditional R&B Performance - Anita Baker - "Lately"
*Best Urban Contemporary Album - Frank Ocean, Channel Orange
Best R&B Album - Anthony Hamilton, Back To Love
Best Rap Performance - Drake feat. Lil' Wayne - "HYFR (Hell Ya F---ing Right)"
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - Flo Rida feat. Sia - "Wild Ones"
Best Rap Song - Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa Featuring Bruno Mars - "Young, Wild & Free"
Best Rap Album - Rick Ross, God Forgives, I Don't
Best Country Song - Eric Church - "Springsteen"
Best Country Solo Performance - Hunter Hayes - "Wanted"
Best Americana Album - The Avett Brothers, The Carpenter
Best Blues Album - Joan Osborne, Bring It on Home
OK, I gotta run. Too much chocolate milk isn't always a good thing.
Grammy Pong Update
* Winners correctly predicted
2/11/2013 9am
OK, I'm not the best at math, so here's the deal. Out of 26 categories, my pong skills got scored 8 right. So, when playing Grammy Pong there is a 1 and 5 (sometimes 6) chance of getting the correct outcome. I scored over 32% right. Nice! How did you do on your guesses?

These days, most of us jump online to book flights and holidays, and generally have our credit card handy. For a merchant , the average cost to process a customer's MasterCard or Visa credit card payment is less than 1% of the value of the transaction, or about 2% for Diners Club and American Express charge cards. The merchant, such as an airline, pays a fee, with the amount largely determined by the card scheme's interchange fees. But some airlines charge much higher fees that bear little relation to these average costs. Qantas and Tiger Airways emerge as the worst offenders, although the other carriers are no angels either.
Please note: this information was current as of September 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
Qantas charges service fees of $7.70 including GST per passenger for domestic bookings, and $25 per passenger for overseas trips. So if you book flights for your family of four's return trip from Sydney to Melbourne, putting the single transaction on your credit card, you'll pay a $30.80 credit card fee. If the trip is outside of Australia and New Zealand, the fee will be $100. Tiger charges what it terms a credit card "convenience fee" of $6 per passenger per flight for domestic travel, and $5 per passenger for international bookings. So the credit card fees for the above examples would be $48 and $40 respectively.
Keep in mind the airline's cost to process such transactions is based on the value of the booking and type of card, not the number of passengers, the number of sectors flown, or whether the booking is for return flights. The policy employed by Qantas, Tiger and other other airlines for surcharging is analogous to a supermarket applying a separate credit card fee for each child you brought on your shopping trip, and not on the value of your shopping bill.
Here are a few more examples of how these surcharges add up:
Steve Burns, Commercial Director of Tiger Airways Australia, says the convenience fees vary depending on the mode of booking customers choose. "Different forms of payments have different levels of associated costs and administration and the fee also covers fraud prevention and bad debt." However, we're not convinced by this argument, as credit card schemes cover the cost of fraud and bad debts that airlines may experience as a result of accepting cards. Burns continues that "'Tiger Raw' fares booked with an Australian-issued MasterCard debit card do not incur a convenience fee. Administration levels associated with debit cards are lower, and this is reflected in the fee differential versus credit cards. Tiger Airways is the only airline in Australia offering a fee-free credit or debit card payment option to all passengers booking online." Qantas claims the credit card fees it collects do not recover its costs in processing the transactions. "We do not derive net revenue from the fees," said a spokesperson. "Our collections are lower than the costs we incur for accepting credit cards. The vast majority of our credit card sales are transacted with higher than average merchant service fees (for example, Amex, Diners and Premium, Corporate or International Visa and MasterCards) and use of these card types continues to grow. "In addition to standard interchange rates published by Visa and MasterCard, which vary by card and transaction type, Qantas also incurs other card transaction fees. The overwhelming majority of our card transactions are treated as card not present transactions by the card providers and therefore incur higher merchant service fees." Citing commercial reasons, Qantas did not disclose to CHOICE the value of average domestic and international credit card bookings or the average number of passengers. The company also declined to disclose the merchant service fees it pays, but we assume a huge merchant such as Qantas, which processes vast numbers of credit card transactions, is in a great position to negotiate very low fees.

I understand how important quality pass rushers are — I get it. The last four teams to appear in the Super Bowl averaged 46 regular-season sacks. The league average was 36.
It is hardly even a debate at this point that there isn't a position on the defensive side of the field that carries more importance than pass rusher.
That said, I don't think the Houston Texans should feel any pressure to re-sign impending unrestricted free agent Mario Williams.
It's just not worth it.
This is a team that proved in 2011 that it can compete for a championship without Williams, so there's no reason to risk your long-term financial health for a guy who hasn't made it through a full season since 2009 and is coming back from a torn pectoral muscle.
First off, the franchise tag is out of the question. That would cost the Texans $22 million alone, making it almost impossible to give Arian Foster a new contract while probably costing them free-agent Pro Bowl center Chris Myers.
They have virtually no space under the cap right now, which means that they'd have to make some significant cuts in order to facilitate any sort of long-term deal for Williams. By all indications, the front office is working hard to create the necessary space, but that'll only force them to sacrifice talent and depth elsewhere while queuing up a potential financial disaster several years down the road.
Serenity now, insanity later.
Williams has also said he hopes to return to the Texans, and a hometown discount isn't out of the question. But based on the interest the 27-year-old super-athlete is guaranteed to receive on the open market, I can't imagine he'll be willing to cave as much as the team requires. PFT speculated earlier this month that Williams "could become the highest paid defensive player in league history" as a free agent.
Williams is incredibly talented, and he led the team in sacks before suffering that season-ending injury in Week 5. But the Houston pass rush didn't miss a beat without him, so why break the bank? Why even hit the bank at all? This is a team that ranked sixth in football with 44 sacks (after recording only 30 with a healthy Williams in 2010) and already has a slew of capable young pass-rushing threats in the stable.
Quantity can often equal quality when it comes to pass rushers.
For starters, J.J. Watt looks as though he'll be a star. The 22-year-old recorded seven sacks in the final nine games of the year and was the team's most valuable player in their first-ever playoff victory when they pounded the Bengals despite not having their starting quarterback. Another rookie, Brooks Reed out of Arizona, also had 3.5 sacks in the playoffs and 9.5 in 13 regular-season and playoff starts in his first pro season. Third-year man Connor Barwin led the team with 11.5 sacks during the regular season, which means that their top three pass rushers are 25 or younger.
Would Williams help? Of course. Is he worth it? Not at all.

It seems that all of my "stainless steel" flatware has rust spots. I have been through four dishwashers in two houses in the last few years, and every time I wash the flatware, it comes out with more and more pieces with rust spots. I have several different kinds of flatware, and all of it was sold as stainless steel...why is it rusting? It was all sold as dishwasher safe as well - I suppose I could hand wash it?
I think at this point, I am looking at buying new flatware when I put the kitchen back together. How do I keep the new stuff from rusting? Is there something I should be looking for on the packaging? My mom has had the same flatware for thirty years and no rust - but my last set didn't even last a year. I use the same detergent that my mom uses - Cascade powder, usually lemon scented. I use a rinse agent, but I didn't with the older dishwashers...and it rusted either way. Is it my water? The dishwasher? The flatware hates me? Help! I hope it is okay to put this here...I figured if anyone would know the answer, it was the great minds here! Thanks in advance! |

I had the same problem and found out that it is caused by dishwashing detergent with lemon in it. I guess the citrus acid reacts with the stainless and causes rust spots. By the way, you can get rid of the spots by rubbing the flatware with vinegar. |

Unfortunately, it is stainless, not stainfree steel. As you have found, under certain conditions stainless steel will display surface rust spots. There are many grades/types of SS. Some are more appropriate to certain conditions that others. Some are more expensive than others. You pretty much get what you pay for. The inexpensive SS flatware will be made of the cheapest stuff the manufacturer can find, and it will usually look like it after awhile. |

I just checked, and my Cascade is not even the lemon kind... its just the most basic. I've used almost every kind of Cascade though, and they all seem to rust. And I know my mom always buys the lemon, and like I said - rust free. So, is there a type of flatware I should be buying? I understand that the Walmart/Target brands are probably not as good as the Macy's brands, but even the more expensive Macy's brands rust at my house. Do you think it might be the water? The pipes? |
Agree that stain - less flatware is not stain-proof. Agree to avoid detergents that contain citrus and don't soak flatware in water for long periods of time. Rinse food off flatware before putting in dishwasher as some foods react with the stainless steel and place knives point side down and in different section from other flatware. Don't mix silver or silver plate with stainless steel - there is a chemical reaction between the two I think. Buy major brands of at least 18/10 stainless. Once the spots start to develop you have an indication that the coating over the base metal has worn through and the problem will only get worse. A mixture of baking soda and water in a paste will get rid of the spots temporarily and a periodic stainlless polish will help temporarily, but will eventually wear off. Best advice is to buy new stainless from a major brand company. Eventually you will have to replace that also for stainless is not stainless forever. |

melanie: Just for the heck of it, try plain Electrosol tabs with the little pink ball in the center. That's what I started using and it really cured the problem with rust. I also use Jetdry once a month. |
I bought Reed and Barton when we did our kitchen remodel. I thought Reed and Barton was one of the better brands to buy. When I got the rust stains I called them they told me I needed to use Walmart brand dish washing detergent. Go figure. Well I did and it helped some what. Now I do not put my butter knives in the dishwasher. I wash them by hand. I do not seem to have the peoblem with the forks and spoons. Reed and Barton did replace the ones that had rusted. |
Are you by chance mixing silver flatware in with stainless flatware? I've heard that doing that can cause rust spots on the stainless. |
I've had Dansk "variation V" for 43 years. When I bought it in the '60's it was $25/per place setting. I just looked on the net to see that it is MSRP's at $67/per place setting now. (!!!!!) About 10 years ago I noticed rust spots on the knives. When company comes I clean up the knives with a little Barkeeper's Friend, otherwise it doesn't bother me enough to hand wash those dudes rather than put them into the DW. So even if you pay for the "good stuff", eventually you can have problems. No problems with spoons or forks, just knives. BUT...one might assume that they fixed this problem over a period of 40+ years, since they are still selling it. I wonder what the life of a daily used/dishwashered SS utensil is anyway? Get what you enjoy holding. I fell in love with the 3 pronged fork that this style has. Mixing silver and stainless in the DW will cause harm to the silver, I believe, not the stainless. -Babka |

jb, SS is not a coating (like silverplate) that will wear off & there's no base metal involved; it's a stainless composite through & through. When I've had rust spots, it's usually because the article was made of a cheaper grade of stainless, meaning it had a higher steel content as opposed to chrome or nickel. |

Just to add to the mix, I had a very (ultra) cheap stainless set for years and had no rust at all. I have a better set and now the steak knives get rust spots. I quit using the lemon cascade years ago because it was etching my glasses and china. I use regular cascade. I just give the spots a swipe with a scotchbrite going with the grain of the blade or use BKF on a sponge. I had thought it was my DW and am glad to know it is the flatware instead. |

antiquesilver, Thanks for the correction. Are the knife blades stainless also or are they some other metal? Many of our rust spots are on the blades and spoon bowls. Also there are rainbow stains on many pieces. |

So I guess I need to be looking for heavier duty flatware? I'm not washing the silver in the DW - I was always told that the DW would ruin the silver, so I've always handwashed it...but I rarely use it. I would also like to point out that it's not just my butter knives - it's forks (the worst!), spoons, serving utensils, steak knives, paring knives, big knives, anything small and metal I put in the dishwasher. Even my cheapest cookie sheets rust, but they're terrible anyway, so I never worried about it. My pots and good pans seem to be okay...for now, at least. Am I right, though, in assuming that once the rust spots start, they're going to keep coming back? Is there a brand that anyone can recommend as a no-rust brand? I'm surprised that the R&B & Dansk both rust. Any word on say, Oneida or Lenox? Or any other brands? Thanks everyone! |
- Posted by alohacarol (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 11:18
It's the mayonnaise. Just wash the mayonnaise off before loading the dishwasher and see if the problem goes away. I had this problem years ago and discovered that the mayonnaise was the problem. It does seem to be more of a problem on the less expensive flatware. Good luck. |
- Posted by melle_sacto (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 11:20
I have Oneida ss flatware and it's never rusted, not even the spoon that got chewed up in the garbage disposal (and should be thrown away). Some of my metal baking stuff will rust if I allow water to sit in it for an extended period of time, but I have no idea it's metal composition. I agree w/you that once the rust starts it will just keep coming back. |
- Posted by melanie1422 (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 18:30
If only it were just the mayo...but I don't eat mayo, so there's none in the house or on the silverware. Someone said peanut butter might hurt them, but I always rinse the PB off after I use the knife...and that wouldn't hurt the forks and spoons. I looked at the Oneida, but I don't much like any of the patterns. I like one of the Lenox patterns, but good grief its expensive! Is there something more midrange? |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 18:48
Don't feel bad about not liking Oneida, melanie. I have it and I get rust spots, too. My SIL has lenox and she gets rust spots as well. I don't think there's any brand that is immune, if the conditions are right for rust. |
- Posted by melanie1422 (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 20:08
Oh no, writersblock! So no brand is safe? I'll have rust spots, no matter what? I guess I'll have my pipes checked. Maybe that's it? Until I figure it out, I guess I'll keep buying new silverware at Walmart or Target every so many months...sheesh. |

Okay, I was hoping to read this and get the answer. I DON'T SEE ONE PEOPLE! (Sorry...:D) My SS Situation: I have Oneida. My old cheap first set bought 30 years ago never rusted. It's packed away as an 'extra'. Melanie1422 when you mention your mom's set, is it older than yours? I wonder if they are all being made cheaper now? The new *Better* fancier one I got about 10 years ago rusts on the hollow butter knife handles. But ONLY on the hollow handles. I have been told that part was made using steel with a different percentage of nickel. Replacements Ltd. lists 'solid' knives in my pattern and eventually I figured on ordering some. But some of you are saying forks and spoons rust too? I haven't seen that, but a colleague who moved to Philadelphia from Massachusettes once complained to me "What's in the water down here? All my stainless is rusting!" So I thought it might be our water. I have a well, and the water has some iron in it. We have a filter to catch the majority of the iron particles, but I'm sure very tiny ones still get through. How many of you have wells? Or high iron content in your water? (reddish dirt in the yard?) |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 20:53
melanie: please, before you start replacing anything, try rinsing the flatware in white vinegar. Then run some vinegar through the dishwasher. I had rust on the knife blades and on the bodies of a new set of flatware I bought (18/10). I did the vinegar thing and I no longer have rust on the flatware. It's an inexpensive solution and its worth a try. |

- Posted by melanie1422 (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 21:44
Biochem, I don't really see a solution either. I think that once its rusted, the rust will keep coming back. My mom's flatware is over 35 yrs old...I think that's the key. Maybe I'll hit garage sales and estate sales, and try to find an older set? I have heard that the hollow stuff doesn't hold up as well. I'm on city water, which is terrible. I don't know what the iron content is, but I do know that I live in the "kidney stone capital of the US" - because of all the deposits in the water. I had the water tested, but it was done by the water company and of course, they think its fine. ALL of my stainless flatware and utensils rust. My whisk is rusted. My stainless knives rusted the FIRST wash - I took them out of the box, and ran them through once. That was all it took. Spots everywhere. The forks are the worst - some tines are almost completely rusted. I will try to clean them, but as I've said before, I'm afraid that once its rusted once, it will rust again. :( |
- Posted by melle_sacto (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 15:52
Perhaps your water is relatively high in mineral and salt deposits, conditions conducive to rust. I suggest not running the stainless in the dishwasher; less likely to rust if washed by hand b/c it won't be in a humid/wet environment as long (which will promote rusting). |
Barkeeper's Friend and a plastic scrubby work easily and well on stainless rust stains. Every so often I give all my knives a little rub down with it. Someone mentioned mayonnaise: I don't use it much, but I do use a lot of mustard and am sure some of the stains come from it. |

While some people may have heard of the value-end Radeon 9250 graphics core, we think that it is pretty fair to say that most people wouldn't have. While ATI want to push PCI Express heavily, it seems that they haven't forgotten about entry level AGP graphics cards. Recently a few graphics cores from ATI were discontinued - 9600SE was replaced by 9550 and 9200 was replaced with the 9250 line.
Our friends at ATI sent us a total of six Radeon 9250 graphics cards ranging from memory buses with 64-bit to 128-bit and from Elsa, Powercolor, Gigabyte, GeCube, HIS and Sapphire. We will be putting these cards through their paces but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that we won't be benchmarking the four rendering pipeline graphics cards in 1600 X 1200 or with 8 X AA and 16 X AF - sub $100 US graphics cards are just not designed to do this type of thing. We'll numb things down a long way and see how they stand up.
We will give you a quick run down on the new Radeon 9250 core from ATI which replaces the 9200 and then provide a quick look at the six cards before we get into some benchmarking.
Let's move on.

Kang KW et al. – This study suggested that the clinical outcomes between nonextended and extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) might be different depending on the generation of implanted drug–eluting stent (DES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods- Authors identified 790 consecutive patients with AMI who were free from major adverse cardiac events for 12 months after first–generation (n = 537) or second–generation DES (n = 253) implantation; each DES generation group was further divided into nonextended and extended DAPT.
- During follow–up (median: 40 months), nonextended DAPT in the first–generation DES group showed a higher rate of cardiac death or MI than was observed in the extended DAPT group (14% vs 2%, P < 0.001).
- However, in the second–generation DES group, there was no difference in the occurrence of cardiac death and MI between the extended and nonextended groups (4% vs 3%, P = 0.809).
- Nonextended DAPT was the most significant predictor of cardiac death and MI for first–generation DES implantation [hazard ratio (HR) = 5.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.53–19.59, P = 0.009] but not for second–generation DES implantation [HR = 3.21, 95% CI = 0.21–50.65, P = 0.401].

Back Story:
While surfing the web Sunday (I know, big surprise there) I saw an article on yahoo's home page about a comic that looked interesting. The comic titled Super Putin had all the right ingredients in just the right mix: action, zombies, satire, and of course Vladimir Putin. Interested, I bit, and followed the link to the website to check it out. I scanned through the art, and it was capital G-good. The only issue was that I couldn't read it because it was in Russian. So I shot them off a quick email and It started an exchange:
Hello Super Putin, Your comic is awesome! I really like the art, and the idea is amazing! Could you translate into English? Please…please…please! You must be a really smart group to get yahoo to cover it, on their home page no less. Really great, thanks a lot. Abra Cadaver.Their Reply:
Thanx Abra Cadaver, we are really happy to hear such warm words :) And of course you will get english version, but first you must say where we can send it – may be in newyorker or some more art-oriented magazine? And it is not very easy to make the translation and we are working on it for few days – maybe you want to join and give us little help with that? I can send you our text and you will give us your comments as a native speaker, m? :)) ? ?????????, ??????? ??????My Reply:
Hello Everyman, Sorry brother I am very far removed from anything like the New Yorker. I hope you do get published in such a popular periodical. I run a small blog with a few friends @ www.burpingthecorpse.com . On the other hand I would love to help you with translation in the area of slang, idiom, fluency. I know that that can sometimes be a problem in translations. I have a degree in creative writing, if that matters to you. As regards joining, Where? How? I don't speak Russian, obviously, and so I can't easily navigate your site. I did think about using a firefox, or google translation app to view pages, and perhaps even translate. I saw something on an app that translates languages from pics, perhaps, this would help you with the rough translation of your comic. Like I said, I'd be happy to help. Again, your comic is an awesome creative project. Great work! Abra Cadaver.Their Reply:
Abra Cadaver, thanx anyway. Just because you ask, we maded this: http://www.superputin.ru/englishski/ :) Check it for mistastakes and not-so-funny jokes! :)) ? ?????????, ??????? ??????My Reply:
Hello Super, Really, a very good translation. And a fantastic comic. Thanks. 1- I am not speaking for English speakers around the world, but Americans, my countrymen, are mostly idiots, so, you may want to include "Russia", or "Odintsovo, Russian Territory", or something to that effect, because the "average Joe" in the USA may get confused when he see's the Muslims, and assume Putin is somewhere in Afghanistan. That is if you feel like pandering to idiots. 2-"Heavens forbid" would normally be "Heaven forbid" not plural, unless this was intentional, or denotes some specific Russian cultural difference I am unaware of. 3-"This lane for Emergency…", should be "This lane is for…", or "lane's" the apostrophe s "'s" denotes a colloquial conjunctive. when words are intentionally misspelled to show how it is said. 4-"How reality is developing?" should be "How is reality developing?" 5- "Thank you Mr…You are…", I got what you meant, but it would be clearer if you tried "Thank you Mr. Sechin! Right on time as always!" 6- "we'll see about that on a tatami" was totally lost on met, I thought is was a mat and wasn't sure until I looked it up. In English one might say "Let's take it to the mat", or "I took you him to the mat", generally speaking this is a wrestling reference, but it's dated, and not very cool. Might I suggest " Let's throw some bows", http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=throwing%20bows , or "Let's get down!" or "Let's throw down!" 7- Not sure if it was supposed to, but the comic ended after the video game fight screen frame. it would be customary to add a "TO BE CONTINUED…" in a box. (NOTES)The first to comments are probably overly critical, and, or culturally subjective. As for "bad jokes", that would definitely be subjective. I understood all of the social references made by the zombies with buckets on their heads, because I follow a lot of international news, but I doubt very many people outside Russia will follow. I don't see what you can do about that. Thanks for the translation. I really enjoyed the comic! Funny! I hope I was of any help! Honestly, keep up the great work. Can we expect more? If So, any plans on distribution? If I were you, I would think about running a serial for mobiles. I know they are huge in Japan. You could look there for direction. They are also called micro stories, I think. Perhaps, an advanced RSS for syndication, partial feed for free, and full feed for paid subscribers. Run with it guys! I'm no big website myself, but I would love to add your comic with your permission, and appropriate links and credits to www.burpingthecorpse.com ! If not, no worries. Again, thanks for the great comic. Very, cheeky. Best Regards, Abra Cadaver.Their Reply :
ok man thanx a lot. Today we celebrating birthday of our painter zashtopik, and risgh now watchin Life Cycles movie about bikers – pretty cool, btw. But i promise – i will correct all mistakes on this week and publish correct english version. But you can feel fry to any use of our comics, i dare you :) ? ?????????, ??????? ??????These Guys were great, and if I was a rich man I would have jetted over to Russia to help them toast their friend's artwork. Alas, I am a poor man. Again, the link to their main site is: www.superputin.ru
It should be noted that when I searched again for the original article at yahoo news that led me on this little adventure, I couldn't find it. I did find and article that did not include a link back to their site. BTW, If you barrow from these guys and don't credit them with a link, you are a dirt bag. Once more, aggregate from this article, and don't give them a link, and I'll be coming after you. Heed my warning or this could happen to you.
And before any of you dead beats start to shoot me comments that the changes have not been made to the comic provided here, that is because I didn't want to wait. I'll update the pages later once they have made them in a week, or so.
