Has anyone been growing this sedge successfully in Z5? A few years back. 'Bowles Golden' was considered marginally hardy in Z5 but I have had no problems with it. I tried 'Evergold' last year and all 3 plants are DOA this Spring. I went back to the books and now see that 'Evergold' gets varying hardiness ratings from different sources from Z5 to Z7. Drat. Still, I'd like to give it another shot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How do you like your Bowle's golden sedge? I looked for one all summer last year after seeing some pictures in a book, but couldn't find any. I finally found someone at our farmer's market selling them recently, and I bought 3 of them. I am a sucker for gold-leaved plants, and Bowle's is the nicest gold "grass" I have seen. I may grow one of them in one of our ponds, and plant the others around the pond edges. How tall did yours get? Is it invasive? |
dawgie, 'Bowles' has been totally hardy here for me, and has had no die off in the center, unlike many grasses and sedges. I've grown it for 3-4 years now and its beautiful all season long. It gets about 18 inches tall, I'd guess, and I have it in a mostly shaded, evenly moist spot. It withstands drying out, occasionally. The best 2 Carex I've grown are 'Ice Dance' and 'Bowles.' I would put 'Evergold' up there had it proved hardier... |
I suspect that why some grasses (and other plants) are given different zonal ratings is for two reasons: not every winter sends temps to a zone's lower limit; and many gardens offer micro-climates that are warmer than the greater surrounding area. I would certainly like to try C. 'Evergold' in my z5a garden, but since my last winter's low was -18°F, I doubt that I will. Do you know the lowest temps of past winters in your garden? |
BruMeta, I think you are right about temps. Additionally, I think that, in areas as cold as zone 5, variations in conditions can kill of plants that are marginally hardy. I'm thinking specifically about: *long dry spells in winters without snow cover * warm spells with heavy rain, followed by a hard freeze, *wide temperature variations, causing heaving of soil. At any rate, this past winter in Chicago was rather mild, w/o more than a day or 2 of sub-zero temps. I think if the colder temps of the 70's and early 80's reappear around here, I will lose many plants that I now take for granted. |
I sympathize. I lost two of my favorite Deschampsias this winter (and they are rated hardy to zone 4!). So, we plant anew... |

Time for more action! Our 80km per hour jet ski tour provided by Aquavue Café and Water sports took us from the shore to an offshore sand bank in just minutes. Spotless white sand with just a tuft of long grass along the centre, I felt like planting a big flag that said 'GEORGE' on it and claiming the island in the name of sunbathing with a cooler full of brews. Later on we ran into some camels! I reckon Isle de George would look good with the odd camel here and there.
Put the safety loop around your wrist, attach it to the kill switch on the handle bars, press the green for go button and squeeze the throttle! Skipping across the water at 80 km per hour is a rush. But I'm a total hypocrite. I'm always bitching about jet skis when I'm trying to relax on the beach. The difference is that Aquavue's skis are operated far enough offshore that they don't disturb anybody and they have the latest, low emissions engine so thumbs up for low noise and air pollution.
You don't have to take the jet ski tour, you can hire a ski for a personal blast or choose one of the other activities Aquavue offers like kayaks or parasailing, but I went for the Hobie catamaran. I can't understand how I never managed to get one of these back home, they're child's play for big kids like you and me. You only need a whisp of wind to scoot along in the sun and everything is quiet except for the burbling of the water beneath you and the flutter of the sails.
So far we'd seen turtles, dolphins, sharks, snakes, spiders, dingos and even bats but the most off the wall wildlife scene was yet to come. We headed to the far end of the esplanade to meet Steve of Hervey Bay Camel Safaris. Our first glimpse of these magnificent creatures was a procession of the leggy desert dwellers on the main road at Hervey Bay's designated Camel Crossing. Minutes later we would-be nomads were about to mount up Arabian style.
So much of this trip had been just like something from a movie I never thought I'd experience, yet here we were again about to embark on another scene from the silver screen. It was magical, plodding along the beach in the afternoon sun. Keep an eye on your camel, he's wylie, he'll take cheeky mouthfuls of any plant life sticking out close enough for him to grab.
The camels might have stolen the odd bite here and there but we were still full from the bang up breakfast at Aquavue earlier in the day. An eggs, bacon, sausages, tomato and hash brown stack to fuel me for a day of adventures. Great tasting food, they get my thumbs up.
We were spoilt rotten on our last night on the Fraser Coast. We checked into the Mantra Hervey Bay Resort, right on the marina. When we got to our room we realised it had a Jacuzzi and of course we jumped straight in. Then after a romantic meal in the neighbouring restaurant we were too bushed to take advantage of the resort spa so we dimmed the lights and watched a movie on the big flat screen TV. Our adventure was nearly over.

The Murder of Valerie Percy
The Pulitzer Prize
After years of dormancy, the Percy murder investigation finally made news again in 1973, when the Chicago Sun-Times published a series of stories that named the reputed killer: a housebreaker named Frank Hohimer, 46.
Hohimer was by then serving a 30-year federal prison term for a run of burglaries in Denver and Indianapolis. He was fingered as Percy's killer by his own brother, Harold, a used car salesman with a serious gambling problem, who told a Sun-Times reporter that Frank had confessed the crime to him.
The secondary sources cited in the stories were a prosecutor's nightmare. One was a Chicago crime syndicate figure who had died after giving an interview to the paper. Another was a jailbird who said that a cellmate had spilled the beans about the Percy case before he died during an escape attempt. A third was a criminal's girlfriend who was bitter after being dumped.
Some observers suggested the $50,000 reward might have been a motivating factor for several of the squealers.
Frank Hohimer, who was writing a book about his crime exploits, agreed to an unusual jailhouse confrontation with his brother that was witnessed by at least one cop and two Sun-Times crime reporters, Arthur Petacque and Hugh Hough.
Hohimer denied killing the girl, and he offered an alternate suspect from the world of Chicago-based housebreakers: Fred Malchow, a career criminal from Buffalo who was, conveniently enough, dead.
The Sun-Times won a Pulitzer Prize for the reporting, but no criminal charge was brought against anyone named in the stories.
Frank Hohimer published his book, The Home Invaders: Confessions of a Cat Burglar, in 1975. It sold well and was the basis of a 1981 film, "Thief," starring James Caan.
In 1991, Chicago Tribune reporters John O'Brien and Ed Baumann published a book, Getting Away With Murder, about unsolved Chicago-area homicides. Robert Lamb, the last full-time Perry investigator, told them, "To this day I am convinced that Freddie Malchow was the killer and that he acted alone."
And in a 1998 retrospective story about the historical accomplishments of the Chicago Sun-Times, the newspaper wrote, "Police believed both Malchow and Hohimer were involved in the murder."
Yet the Kenilworth Police Department, which has grown rather testy about inquiries regarding Percy's murder, says the case is considered open and unsolved.
Some observers believe the Hohimer allegation stymied and sidetracked the Percy investigation. His fingering of Freddie Malchow could not be proved, so the probe was left dangling.

Welcome to Las Vegas, land of sudden death. We're not quite live (performances were taped the night before), but there's a sorely missed energy in the air and especially on the judges' panel. I'm loving them! Ten performances in two hours allows for a LOT of "rawwwwwr talent"s from a lovesick Keith Urban, brutally honest missives from Señora Ladybug Nicki Minaj, surprisingly zesty complete sentences from Randy Jackson, and unbridled self-centered rambling from Mariah Carey.
Mariah was the biggest shock for me tonight -- she's been edited so carefully all season as the beta-diva to Minaj (the horror!) that it's seemed like she's had little to offer the contestants. And tonight she was at a disadvantage again, speaking fourth 10 times. Maybe I'll change my mind as it becomes repetitive, but I rather enjoyed her long-winded attempts to make points, many of which were constructive vocal technique notes that could actually benefit the contestants. Nicki may be delivering all the sound bites, but Mariah knows her stuff and will get to the point if you stick around.
Anyway, I liked the vibe, I liked the new "sudden death" stakes, and I liked how the judges, especially Keith and Nicki, reacted with interest to all the relatively mundane stuff Ryan Seacrest said while hovering behind them. Remember when Steven Tyler would use this time to play Statues? These new judges are visibly alive!
Five of 10 women went home Wednesday; five of 10 men will get the boot Thursday. Next week, same thing. Five more girls and five more guys will advance to the Top 20, and then viewers will vote during the third and final Vegas Round week, on March 6.
So basically this is the producers' crafty little way of arranging the Top 40 so that the ones they want can go through. It's weird that last night's ladies were competing against only half of the pack. But again, I like the new format. Let's not overthink it.
I will admit to somewhat overthinking this dramatic new art installation, Stool Sample.

Guild Wars 2 closed beta impressions -- Shawn's thoughts {Massively}
Feb 21st 2012 9:53PM @Dunraven
I agree. There are lots of people who were bitterly disappointed in GW and those who found it boring. I'd like some impressions from those who left GW to see if their problems have been solved. Fanboi/grrl impressions are expected to be positive.
I also play a healer - at least 4 specs in WoW. It appears I'll have nothing to do in GW2 except join the DPS. Jsut because you may be bored with the Holy Trinity, doesn't mean that some people don't enjoy the roles.
So far unimpressed with the graphics shown in the video clips, but I did like the fighting while lying on the ground bit ;-)
Looking forward to a neutral review or even a first impressiion.
WoW loses another 100,000 subscribers {Massively}
Feb 9th 2012 9:27PM @TryHardSasquatch
Yep branched out time and again to at least give the other MMOs a go. All disappointing. Sure the graphics might be better than WoW, but not the animations, the combat will almost always be worse and all the bright shiny new things lack maturity or even the sense not to try something if it's been done to death or failed already.
Over 6 years of development and feedback from millions of players and developers who still care more about the game than the money has created a sophisticated MMO that offers something for everyone.
I'll keep looking at other MMOs, but I suspect the only one that will pass WoW is the mysterious Titan ;-)
Breakfast Topic: Has the early Cataclysm gearing model failed? {WoW}
Feb 1st 2012 7:14PM I had a similar experience to Josh, in that I had a n 85 pally tank that I decided to make my 4th healer. Starting from no Intellect plate at all, I got rep gear, purchased 365/378 on the auction, used what Justice point I had for 378 gear and ran a lot of bgs to accumulate honor which also turned into justice.
Didn't do one heroic. Apart from detesting pugs for the most part, I needed to learn pally healing and I didn't want dungeon mates to suffer while I was doing it, so lots of bgs later I knew what I was doing. Finally at iLvl 373 I entered the Raid Finder and although I wasn't topping the healing like I do on the druid, I wasn't too embarrassing. A few RF drops later and a 390 PvP head and I'm doing a lot better ;-)
The process took around a few days of casual playing and it let me try out a totally different healer (and yes pally healing is way different from disc, holy and tree) without having to spend a month or so doing pugged heroics.
I like the new gearing model ;-)
4 steps for dealing with Raid Finder harassment {WoW}
Jan 31st 2012 9:10AM Way back in the day when Quake was king and Enemy Territory was a free team game, there was one map where you spawned in a barracks. One door and collision detection was enough for one player to hold a whole team in. That player is probably pushing 50 now, but I bet he's still an arsehole.
The incidence of active jerks in RF seems to be increasing, I cycle 6 toons through it playing 4 healers and a mage and hunter. To the jerk, the meta game is to annoy people, confuse them and generally wreak havoc. I've had more people killing tentacles on DW's back - sometimes all of them, priests life gripping people out of the purple swirlies on the boat, multiple slime groups pulled and the always favourite of starting an encounter with light on healers, low health and mana.
Kicking people is ironically also random, as this is a place where evidence is not taken and reasons aren't given. I was in RF with 2 guildies and our healer was almost immediately killed on the boat due to the tank not grabbing threat. At the end of the fight a vote kick was called on him due to him only doing 8k (and no they didn't even bres the tanks who had both died ;-) ). The vote went through and we left as well, so they had three people to replace. Hell, unless I can see an injustice was done, I would have probably voted yes too, just to get moving. There's simply not enough time to evaluate each vote kick (although Blizz could insist a reason has to appear) and sometimes when you are having multiple wipes on a fight you've romped through a number of times before, you'll do anything just to make it stop ;-)
The good LFRs do make up for it though. When maybe 20 people know the fight and most people are doing their jobs, it's a pleasure and it's great to participate in 25 person raids. I'm sure the elitists view it as proof that enough monkeys and typewriters can produce Shakespeare, but it's an experience I've only had rarely, even though playing since WoW Classic.
Most of the posters have already offered the tools from our meagre toolbox. Report jerks and bullies and feel free to try and kick them and then //ignore them. It's a game and you're in it to enjoy yourself, so do what you can to help to weed out the killjoys and move on.
The Light and How to Swing It: Nerfing Holy Radiance to the ground {WoW}
Jan 29th 2012 6:54PM I now have 4 healers, druid, disc and holy proest and now a pally. There's enough similarity between those first three healers for me to even map the same key combinations for a lot of similar spells, but the pally was something different. With the Holy Power mechanic powering either a single target or AoE mana free spell, the wonderful holy radiance and the fact that the AoE is directional means the pally is a lot different to play and a little more interesting. I certainly haven't been spamming HR, so I don't think the nerf matters too much. It does explain however why I keep getting beaten on my other healers by pallys in the DS RRF ;-)
Is Project Fiona a miss for WoW? {WoW}
Jan 12th 2012 8:13PM Largest console controller ever ;-)
A laptop is cheaper, more powerful, bigger screen, higher res and allows you to use all WoW spells and abilities with a keyboard and the benefit of a precise mouse. This looks like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. It's similar to spending a lot of money to make an iPad pretend it's almost a laptop.
WoW Rookie: How to gear up for Raid Finder {WoW}
Dec 8th 2011 9:58PM While I don't advocate using entirely PvP gear just to get into a raid, the fact is that PvP gear can be a better choice depending on your current equipment,
E.g. I have a 365 cloak with hit, haste and Int, Stam for my healer (best I could obtain at the time). Reforged hit into spirit. Level 390 PvP cloak, includes spirit but has no other stat but resilience. Would I buy that - in a heartbeat. I don't need hit and as a healer rather than a spamming DPS, haste is also not a priority, but spirit and extra int is.
Another example is shoulders and head, which may never drop for you (got my first shoulders in RRF the other day - first I've got in 6 years). PvP 390 shoulders have spirit and increased int over blues or 359 gear, so yes I'll take that as well.
It's important to realise that PvP gear is exactly the same as PvE gear at the same iLvl - it just has one stat converted to resilience. If that stat isn't of high importance to you and as the PvP gear is usually going to be higher iLvL than obtainable PvP gear and give higher primary stats, it may be better for you.
Of course theory is one thing so I compared my heals in PvE with my previous Vicious gladiator full set to my PvE gear which was slightly lower level, but harder to obtain. Effectively I has slightly higher heals in PvP gear, about 2K more mana with a slightly longer cast time due to the PvP gear being higher level than PvE and missing out on some haste.
Look at your gear and see if a obtainable PvP item may be a better fit until you finally get that drop or save up the valor.
Shifting Perspectives: The best and the worst of patch 4.3 {WoW}
Dec 6th 2011 7:14PM Went through RRF with some guildies and myself and the other tree healer ended up doing most of the healing. My teammate doesn't use the glyph and I do. Not really much difference in healing at the end of the 25 man raid, but I still prefer to hit 6 people rather than 5, even with the increased cooldown.
However, it terms of actually healing the raid, I didn't really notice any difference ;-)
The return of raid stacking? {WoW}
Nov 29th 2011 10:51PM Actually now that Druids will have 4 specs. there's really no need for any other class ;-)
All Druid raids should now become the norm - a collection of bears, kitties, moonkins and trees.
Now that's class stacking ;-)
The Queue: Universal {WoW}
Nov 27th 2011 9:42PM Yes, Stargate was a great show, a little darker than SG-1 without the humour, but still enthralling. It joins the list of quality shows that have been culled before their time. SyFy is currently running the Dresden files, another great show that had tons of books available, so the screen writers wouldn't have to even stretch, but that went too.
It's even worse when you look at the crap SyFy produces under "an original telefilm" tag - real bad, but not bad enough to be funny.
My only hope is that the cast was put into stasis, in the hope that somewhere, some network might revive them. IT says a lot that the only real things worth watching on SyFy are the re-runs of the Stargates series.
Btw, the advertising idiot that changed SciFI to SyFY should be thrown into a black hole.

Washington, D.C. -- To the relief and gratification of gay and lesbian people everywhere, the Olympic torch will not pass through Cobb County, Georgia, announced the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG).
ACOG stunned the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (g/l/b/t) community when last July it announced the Torch Relay would pass through Cobb County, which in 1993 passed a resolution condemning the "gay lifestyle" as incompatible with the community's standards. County officials have refused to rescind the measure despite mounting opposition against it.
The announcement last year that the torch would pass through Cobb County sent gay activists reeling. Only a year had passed since ACOG finally agreed, after an intense and protracted battle with Olympics Out of Cobb Coalition (OCC), a group of g/l/b/t activists, and NGLTF, to move the preliminary competition volleyball games from Cobb County. OCC quickly regrouped and began its campaign once again to prevent an official Olympic event from occurring in a county that officially condemns gay people.
ACOG released the following statement:
"ACOG has decided not to run the Torch Relay through Cobb County. The decision is based on the fact that the Cobb County Commission has not changed its non-binding resolution since July 1994 when ACOG relocated the preliminary volleyball venue from Cobb County to Athens, Georgia. It is our goal to make the torch relay an exciting and memorable experience. We want to focus on the excitement of the event and not be distracted by other issues.
The Torch Relay will arrive in Georgia on July 9, and for 10 days will traverse the state, allowing hundreds of torch bearers to participate in this great occasion, including many from Cobb County."
The National Gay Lesbian Task Force has worked with OCC since 1994 when the fight against the resolution began. The two organizations collaborated to challenge the Cobb County resolution by pressuring the Olympic Committee to remove its events from the county. Most recently, OCC and NGLTF were organizing protests along the Torch Relay route throughout the country to demonstrate nationwide opposition to bringing the torch to Cobb County. The two organizations responded jointly in applauding ACOG's decision.
"We commend ACOG's decision. ACOG has heard our call for justice and will not dishonor the spirit of the Olympics, symbolized by the torch, by honoring the bigotry in Cobb County, said Melinda Paras, NGLTF executive director. "Let the light of tolerance and fairness shine in Cobb County, not the Olympic torch," added Paras.
"We applaud ACOG and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people and our allies around the country who answered our many calls for justice and action," stated Pat Hussain, NGLTF board member and co-chair of OCC. "We will continue to fight until the resolution is rescinded and all Georgians can live free from discrimination," added Hussain.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is the nation's oldest, national gay and lesbian civil rights organization. NGLTF has supported grassroots organizing and pioneered in national advocacy since 1973. Since its inception, NGLTF has been at the forefront of virtually every major initiative for lesbian and gay rights. In all its efforts, NGLTF helps to strengthen the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender movement at the state level while connecting these activities to a national vision for change.

Obsessing over trying to choose a paint color for walls in the kitchen. I have included a link to the tile (Willow) we used on the floor and (London Grey) countertops were going with. We want to go with white wall color and trim. The cabinets are white Ikea Ramsjo. I dont think White Dove works here as it looks like it had some brown in it. I would definitely use it with hardwood floors Any suggestions? Who knew white would be so difficult? The picture included my post was are inspiration. The tile we used a bit darker in color (gray). I know this is kind of a hopeless question as it all depends on lighting and personal preference. The problem is the Ramsjo Ikea cabinets have a pinkish hue to them any of the 'whites' seem to bring out the pink. That being said I truly wanted a off white, with some grey in it but cant find a great match? Suggestions needed! http://www.houzz.com/discussions/402319/Color-coordinating-kitchen |

frosty carrera would have been my pick for the counter as it is grey enough and slightly warmer to enhance the overall space.then i would have taken the ceiling color in the inspiration pic-and weaken the strength of the color at least by 30 or maybe 50 percent [just get it very pale] and done the walls in that.The trim-do you mean moldings/etc/-semi gloss warmish white or off white. |

If you want a fairly stark white that has a hint of warmth, Oxford White is my trim color, I quite like it Because you're not so fond of the pinky tone of your cabs, you might want to blend with them (minimizing them) and contrast with the blues (maximizing them) instead of the other way around. Looking at my palette, something like Classic Color White Winged Dove 1457 might be a nice place to start. It is a fairly cool white, which I think you want, but I think it has the faintest taupe/pink undertone. In fact BM already have a color palette with dull blues already matched to 1457. If you find you have to get away from whites, another great light neutral could be something like BM Edgecomb Grey. This is a very light tan and looks great in my bedroom against a dull grey-navy. It has the faintest hint of pink/purple undertone so might coordinate really well with your cabinets and will contrast and bring out the bluish tone of your floors. Edgecomb: You could also go the other way and do a very light blue-green grey, something like BM moonshine 2140-60. This would look very pretty with your cabs but you'd have to see if it emphasized the pinky or just looked pretty with it. |

Two more thoughts: white blush oc 86 and alabaster oc 129. |
Thanks Robo Are these all BM colors? Sherwin Willimas doesnt seem to have a ton of whites in their color offerings |

Elledecor has long celebrated the best in interior decoration and architecture and thought the impact of men on these fields can't be denied, it was a woman. Elsie De Wolfe, who had launched the profession of interior design as we know it. Creating warm engaging pragmatic rooms that address the way people truly live. An actress turned arbiter of style with the signature French influence aesthetic, Elsie De Wolfe had a single philosophy. Suitability, suitability, suitability. In the early 1900s, her passion for bringing the outdoors in helped to make American Homes less stuffy and more casual and our confident fashion forward embrace of leopard print, mirrored surfaces and golden shades of vage transformed the 1920s. Her trend setting opinion that the bath was definitely a room to be lived in and decorated remains just as influential today. Francis Elkins was a decorator who defined high style for much America in the 1930s and 40s. She was sophisticated, daring, adventuresome and smart. Discovering and showcasing the work of European modernist like (Jomie Shelfunk?) before nearly anyone else. Dorothy Draper, the diva of public spaces left her bold mark on hotels, casinos, apartment house lobbies and restaurants throughout the mid 20th century with dramatic moldings, over scalp patterns and brilliant contrast of color. Eleanor McMillen Brown brought a keen business sense and high standards of professionalism to the industry. Her elegant point of view, respect for fine furnishings and enthusiasm for modern design resulted in graceful interiors that won the hearts of post war Americans. And ex pat American tace maker Nancy Lancaster shook up English society by insisting that even the grandest rooms should be enjoyed and lived in. Employing cheerful fabrics, deep healing clutter of daily life, and an intriguing array of styles and periods. Her iconic letter Yellow Drawing Room is a touchstone in the study of interior decoration. Though she works for many years with her partner Albert Hadley, Sister Parish had a distinctive sensibility. From the days she launched her business during the great depression to her retirement in 1992. She was known for her use of vivid colors and charming displays of client's personal collections. From porcelain to folk art. She championed American handicrafts such as patchwork quilts and rag rugs. And it was her classic but comfortable look that wonder the job to redecorate the white house for the Kennedy's. Today's women in design are just as amazing and inspiring as their legendary fore bearers. And joining us to discuss their work and our world are 4 top notched talents. Celerie Kemble, a decorator with a sassy twist on the traditional just published her 1st book, To Your Taste, and recently launched a line of fabrics with Schumacher. Her rooms are quirky, spirited and joyful. Cynthia Rowley 1st made her mark in the fashion world but it since become an arbiter of taste and style. This was a piano I guess at one point, but now it's a nice bucket. Her signature furnishings and accessories, her design and lifestyle books and her conviction that a room can never be too much fun have won her legions of fans. Internationally renowned architect Anabelle Selldorf creates magical light filled spaces with a modernist point of view. Celebrated for both commercial and residential work, she's also launched Vica. A line of handcrafted furnishings. Her renovation of Manhattan's Noe Gallery is a prime example of her rational yet sensitive aesthetic. After 22 years of Parish-Hadley, Bunny Williams opened her own firm and in the 2 decade since, has established herself as one of the design profession's leading light's. A best selling author. Her latest book is Point of View. And this fall, she opened a 2nd outpost of Triage, her popular home furnishing shop. Bunny's interiors over style and comfort seemliness in her sect. With classic underpinnings, these spaces have a free willing sense of discovery. From the Trailblazers of the past to the innovators of today. Elledecor is pleased to celebrate women in design.

Polar Bit just released an update for its Mad Max inspired racer, and it went a long way toward fixing the main problem with the game– the controls. We now have buttons for steering! And the best part is that they work rather well. The game is now actually playable. It's kind of odd that we're praising a game's update by basically saying "Hey, you can play the game now!" But here we are.
Unfortunately, the other problems still exist. The update claims that the sound has been improved, but to us it still sounds the same. And the camera still likes to do it's own thing from time to time, and the controls still get obscured. We'd really like to be able to adjust our controls. Honestly, customizable controls should be a given by this point, so the lack of them in a game like this is still kind of odd.
Anyway, we're going to raise Cracking Sands' score to a three. We've taken it for a whirl again and it's a lot of fun to play. The other problems still stand out, but if you're looking for a racing game with a neat twist and a lot of potential, Cracking Sands is now something worth playing.
Polarbit is a company that has become synonymous with racing games. From Reckless Getaway to the Reckless Racing series, Polarbit has shown that it has an understanding of how iPhone racing should work. When word came of Cracking Sands, we were anticipating another great, polished racing game set in a Mad Max-style world. Unfortunately, when we actually sat down and played the game we were faced with baffling design decisions that led to a disappointing and disheartening experience that left us feeling let down.
Cracking Sands takes place in a post-apocalyptic world that has been destroyed by global warfare. The remaining tribes of people participate in deathmatch races that are obviously meant to make us feel like we're playing through some of the craziest scenes from the Mad Max movies.
And on the surface the game achieves its goal. You race through a series of hellish environments in cars that look like they were cobbled together with parts from other things. You fight against an ever growing roster of deranged crazies all intent on turning you into roadkill and securing their bloodthirsty legacy. You can customize your car with crazy weapons and you can even change the look of your driver with equipment that can give you advantages in the race.
Don't go racing without your racing hat.
Sounds great, right? Doesn't that sound just like the kind of game you'd love to spend hours upon hours fighting through? Well sometimes execution doesn't always meet up with intent, and Cracking Sands can't reach the goals it set for itself.
The biggest, most glaring problem here are the downright mystifying controls. First, it's a tilt only game. There are no on-screen buttons for driving your car. In a game like Real Racing, this is fine and sometimes we even prefer the tilt controls to the buttons. But on a game like Cracking Sands, this just doesn't work. You're constantly expected to make all kinds of hairpin turns and lighting fast decisions, and the tilt controls just can't cut it. Even adjusting the sensitivity didn't help all that much.
You can also set the action buttons (there are buttons for jumping, nitro and shooting) to be in either fixed locations or in "floating" locations, which means that the buttons don't appear until you put your fingers in certain spots on the screen. The floating option is essentially useless as we could never quite figure out what finger placements would yield the actions we wanted, and sometimes they would just float off of the screen. The fixed option works the best, but the shooting and nitro buttons look so similar that we often found ourselves hitting one thinking we were hitting the other one. They also have a tendency to be obscured by other things on screen, most notably the table that lists the racers' placement.
Quit breaking the law, Officer Bob.
But the most bizarre problem with the gameplay has to be the way the controls will flip themselves. We like to play games on both our iPad and iPhone, and the results were strangely different on both devices. On our iPad, tilting left would make us go right and right would go left. But on our phone, everything was fine. This just makes no sense and we can't figure out why it happens, or how to change it.
There are other, less annoying but still troublesome problems to add to the pile. The cars are tiny in comparison to everything else, so it's hard to figure out which one is yours. The camera also doesn't track that well, so sometimes you'll just lose sight of your car altogether. This happens a lot when you drive through a building or underneath something that's hanging, or if there's a quick turn and the camera just floats along. The sound design is also pretty bad, with your gun sounding like you're shooting a pebble into a frying pan.
Cracking Sands has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, we have to review what we've got in front of us, and as it stands Cracking Sands feels like an unfinished product. Best to wait on this one until an update comes along to fix the crippling problems afflicting this game.

Died last night but it was so awesome that I am writing a review and getting a replacement bulb. True HD with great colours. I had it calibrated and my movies were like in the cinema. It did over 3000 hrs in eco mode. Definitely worth the money.

Still going strong
By Vett_Guy
from Lancaster, Ohio
I purchased this projector as a Christmas Gift for myself in 2009 and after 3 years it's still going strong. I only had 1 minor issue with it. After owning it for about 2 or 3 months, the front leveling leg stopped operating correctly. I called Epson and the person I spoke to was very friendly and advised me to ship it back for a replacement. I was told to keep my present Projector until the replacement arrived. Once the replacement arrived (which was shipped next day air) it included a postage paid shipping tag for FedEx. I have never come close of dealing with a company that stands behind their product half as well as Epson does, and a two year warranty at that!!!! When the day comes where this Projector needs replaced I will look no further than Epson. I have recommended many friends to purchase an Epson Projector if they want to get the most out of their Money. Thank you once again for your excellent service.
Great Buy! Value & Performance!
By GoonerFan
from San Francisco, CA
I've had this projector for nearly 2 years now, and I think only now will I have to think about getting a new bulb. Granted I don't have a TV subscription and use only for streaming sports, movies and gaming, it still seems to have lasted quite some time. I love this projector. Highly recommended especially for your first one. Pros: Great color, size, easy to set up, multiple inputs, settings that help control how the screen is set up so you have placement options. Relatively small, pretty lightweight. Cons: after 1.5 yrs the fan was a bit louder than before. Newer units may have more connectivity options, but this one has enough! When the unit is tilted severely, the sharpness of the picture varies from top to bottom a little, but nearly unnoticeable. Enjoy!

Looks Fantastic
By ResearchedProjectorBuying
from Dallas,Tx
About Me Audiophile, Pro Audio / DJ, Tech Savvy
It looks really great. Crisp bright high definition picture. This thing is a SPACE HEATER, it's not really an issue but it can get very HOT. After being powered on for about 1 minute it's fan kicks on and starts to pump out scorching air the entire time that it runs.If you are like me and between getting a DLP and LCD projector, don't worry or fret over it. I honestly can't tell any difference in this projector vs all the other ones I have seen in my life (which are mostly DLP). If there is any picture difference at all, it is BETTER. I actually thought the projector was too bright when I had it in a small room (picture was about 60"), but it was an easy fix to go into the settings and turn the brightness down. I've only had one fluke with this projector so far in the 3 weeks that I've had it; I turned it on one day and the fan kicked in to super mode instantly and the lamp LED light was showing red on the top of the unit. Not sure what this meant, I never looked up the error in the owner's manual. I let it sit there for a few minutes and it never attempted to boot up, so I had to hard power it off and reboot it, then it worked fine. Should something be faulty in the projector or lamp later I will probably regret writing this review lol. But yes, overall great picture quality (very crisp and clear and bright when playing high definition content). I set up some sheets and made a huge screen with it (about 144" (8 ft tall)) and the 2500 lumens was plenty enough to light a screen that large for movie watching at night in a dark room. However, I wouldn't recommend using a screen that size with ambient light or during the day because it gets a little hazy. Still viewable, but not enjoyable; if that helps you get a better idea of what 2500 lumens will do for you. Only thing I wish it had was horizontal keystone. It is not always convenient to place the projector in front or behind the viewing screen. But stay away from keystone all together if you can. And projector that doesn't have lens shift uses digital keystone correction; which with every degree you tilt or transform the image it is distorted since you are combining what would normally be two or more pixels into one for image correction. You will notice quality degradement with keystone. I try to keep it directly in front halfway up, or with minimal keystoning.10watt speaker gets louder than I thought. Definitely no bass to it, but it makes a nice little tweeter to add some surround behind you. Overall; would recommend, YES.
Good Projector
By Marc
from Oahu, Hawaii
I've had one for about 2 years now. It has survived a move from Alaska to Hawaii and sees a lot of use. Still on the original bulb too. Perfect device for my setup and use. The only thing the proector does that bugs me is this little beep noise when it's on. Every 2-3 seconds a low-volume beep comes from it. It doesn't come from the speaker, instead it seems to come from the device itself. Any volume level higher than talking drowns it out however.

EPSON 705HD Projector
By DogBiker
from West Islip, New Your
I have been using the 705HD projector for about 2 months and it has performed beautifully. I use it to teach classes on canine care, behavior and training. I have used it to show power point slide presentations, CD videos and to show U-Tube videos. It is easy to set up and use. The projection image is clear and easily visible. Having this projector has made my classes more interesting and expanded the educational material that I can use utilize to teach a subject that is very dear to my heart, canine behavior. I can explain in great detail what the behavior looks like but being able to show the behavior using the 705HD projector is worth a thousand+ words. When I first bought the projector I was a bit apprehensive because I wasn't sure if it would perform as I was hoping. Well, after 2 months of use I feel I made the right choice.

PowerLite Home Cinema 705HD
By WarTiger13
from Dallas, TX
I purchased the 705HD primarily for gaming and TV watching. Paired with my Xbox360, games went from good to amazing. The picture is bright and clear, colors were good right out of the box (i did alter them slightly). Sports on TV also look great. Even sports with lots of movement and action such as basketball and hockey play smoothly. The built in speakers sounded rather bad. Best way for me to describe them is talking in a tin can down a cave. However, I run all my audio sources to a receiver and floor speakers anyway, so the built in speakers were not much of an issue. Overall, this projector is very nice and can be had for a reasonable price. Great color and picture on my 94 inch screen. There are a few things to note for new projector buyers: No lens shift which limits mounting/ placement options. Only one HDMI which makes using multiple sources more difficult (An A/V receiver can fix this issue). Do your research on what you need and I'm sure you can find an Epson that will fill your needs like this 705HD did for me. I would recommend this product to a friend in a heartbeat.

Hi all,
We are planning a total redo of our master bathroom and while the space is pretty good there are a few inconvenient things that I would like to address with a new layout. #1 is the size of the shower, its too small
I am posting the current layout and 3 possibilities of new layouts. Currently the entry into the bathroom is an open arched doorway and we will be closing it in with a pocket door for sure and probably moving it over. The things that we really don't want to change are the toilet area and the window, although a smaller window would make it easier to layout the room. Stucco exterior make it hard to do that. Any thoughts on the different options, good or bad. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like option 1, though it seems the shower will be smaller than you'd like, and it's hard to tell what size the floor space actually is. It may seem like a bunch of empty space in the middle of a large bathroom. That leads me to ultimately vote for option 2. Love the idea of a drying off area. You're so blessed with space! Have fun picking everything out! BTW ... are you using a software program to design these layouts? Mind sharing how you're doing these mock-ups? |
First, you need to get rid of the inswing door of your WC. Those are dangerous, and that you have it now, and you've been fine doesn't mean that it will be safe in the future. So, any plan that doesn't allow you to either make that a pocket door entry or a swing-out door should be discarded, imo. with that in mind, and your desire for 2 vanities, I like option 3; except I'd move the toilet door to be a pocket door on the "top" of the WC box...across from the vanities, near the closet entry. |
regmoses: option 1 and 3 have the same size shower I just have made the closet smaller in option 3 to get separate vanities. Would use part of the storage closet as my closet. Can't use that as the whole big walk in closet though as it has a raised floor and sloped ceiling. Hubby can't stand up in most of it. The shower in options 1 and 3 is 4x5 with the drying off area and in option 2 is 4x6 no drying area. I am using TurboCad 15 to make my drawings. I forgot it doesn't transfer the grid lines when converting to jpg. Thanks for the reply |
kirkhall, I had no idea that an inswing door on the WC was a bad thing. Can you explain what is dangerous about it. That being the case though, the only way I see to put a pocket door in there is to do as you suggested and that would rule out options 1 and 2. Or we could change the door to swing out. Thanks for the reply |

Another option would be to leave the tub where it is and extend the shower space to the left. A simple way to split the vanity into two would be to move the door to the large storage room to the left so it's in between the vanities. I wouldn't give up closet space for separate vanities. |
The inswing door is a problem / dangerous because if anything happened in there - fainting, falling, etc, it would be next to impossible to aide a person in distress in there because their body would / could block the door from being opened. |

Ah yes I hadn't thought of that with the inswing door, but it is a valid issue. Thanks everyone for all of the info. I will draw up just extending the shower to the left and moving the door to the storage closet. |
RMS is correct. Plus, with an inswing door, the hinges are on the inside, so you can't even remove the hinges/door to get to the person. Have fun! |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sat, Jun 9, 12 at 8:26
I'm with weedyacres...just extend the shower into the left space. I grew up with a window in the tub/shower unit and it was a nightmare from water damage to the window POV. So I wouldn't go with any design where the window is in the shower. |

Haha I know what you mean about cleaning the house, I always tell my husband "dont get it dirty again this time" but it never works since I'm also to blame.
Also, I have been saying the same thing about a snow day. I despise how dirty everything is after it snows but for that one day, locked up inside the house, I can totally deal with the dirty.

ARLINGTON — Before Kentucky played Connecticut in Monday's national championship game, former UK star Rex Chapman posted on Twitter that it was a "done deal" that UK coach John Calipari would leave to coach the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers immediately denied the claim. So did Calipari when asked about him after his team's 60-54 loss.
"The Lakers have a basketball coach. Kentucky has a basketball coach. I got the best job in the country. I'm not going to even dignify that stuff," Calipari said.
Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart also said he didn't expect Calipari to leave.

Thank you, Tiago!
"I would like to thank Tiago Maia for an exceptional experience. I recently put in a transfer request to move from a two bedroom to a one bedroom. I figured the process would be drawn out and complicated. However, working with Tiago on it, the transition was smooth, simple and efficient. Tiago gave me a sufficient amount of time to relocate my belongings from my old apartment to my new apartment and he even found me an apartment that was located close to my old one, making the physical aspect of moving exceptionally easy. Tiago also explained the pro-rated rent clearly. I would like to thank him again for putting my mind at ease during the transition from my two bedroom to a one bedroom, and for also making the entire process very simple and understanding. Thanks!

I woke up yesterday 5/30/13 to wet carpet and to what could have potentially been so much worse of a situation if the problem was not stopped fast. I had a pipe bust inside the wall between the bathroom and bedroom and the carpet was acting like a sponge ...It was a hot mess and yes it was inconvenient –but aren't most accidents? In the 2 years I have live here and many maintenance issue this was by far handled the best of any of them.. Reg the manager stopped by personally to assess the problem and then stayed in touch throughout the 2 day repair. Thanks again for the prompt response." |

Hi all,
I'm having a deck built where my last one was rotted out (previous owner left sprinklers running at night right on the deck). It's been completely gutted and is just dirt now, no joists, no nothing. I want ipe, but I don't think I can afford it. My contractor can get Mangaris for much less, and is really into that idea. Looking on the Janka hardness scale Mangaris (Red Balau) comes in at 2100. Ipe is 3680. Redwood is 480 if you're lucky and people use that all the time and it seems to last about 15-25 years, but requires more maintenance. Questions: 1. Does anyone know the expected lifespan of a mangaris deck? Ipe goes 50-75-100 years or more (I've read). Mangaris being somewhat softer, but still really hard, is what? 50 years max? 2. How much and what kind of maintenence would one expect to need on a mangaris deck? There's lots of info on ipe and others out there (which are set it and forget it), but not so much on Mangaris. 3. Does anyone who has a mangaris deck want to chime in? 4. I've read someone saying that mangaris is an indoor wood and not a deck wood, but it seems common to use it as a deck wood here in LA. It's harder than redwood, which is commonly used, so why wouldn't it be a deck wood? 5. How fire resistant is it? That's important where I live and I can't find any info online about this. Details:
Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Also, I believe the thickness of Mangaris available is more than ipe, which is a factor in the joist spacing, which is a factor in the cost. |
I can only comment on certain properties. Ipe and redwood, among several species, have internal chemicals that resist rot (also fire). This is a greater determinant of lifetime than wood hardness. Hardness is a measure of resistance to mechanical damage. Tensile strength and sectional moment of inertia are measures of allowable span for a given deflection. It is my understanding from this site and others that wood decking subjected to differential humidity (top vs. bottom) will cup, and if the wood is strong enough it can even pull the screws from the joists. A low, poorly ventilated deck, such as mine presently under reconstruction, can be subject to this issue. Non-wood decking, such as plastics and aluminum, seems to be called for in such cases. But I am in NH and you are in LA, so your case is probably not the same as mine, even though my height off of the ground is similar to yours. It would be a question of how much moisture actually rises from the ground when the air above the decking is dry. When both sides of the decking are wet, the cupping forces should be minimal. kas |
Thanks kas. By internal chemicals are you referring to Tannins or are there various other chemicals in there? |
A brief search suggests that there are several tannins of two types, but to say more than that I would have to parrot a 1944 analytical chemistry paper. Only the first page appears for free on-line and I didn't delve further. Other sources indicate that a reaction with water of some of the tannins causes the black stains. While I had believed from my own experience that oxalic acid didn't solve the black stain problem, one source indicated that the oxalic acid has to be mixed using hot water, so that may work. kas |

Mangaris is not a species of wood but a marketing name under which the species sold is likely Red Balau or Dipterocarpaceae Shorea Spp. The problem is that there are so many subspecies of shorea and the only subspecies that is rated highly durable like ipe is shorea laevis which is yellow in color.. Red Balau is rated as moderately durable. It appears that you have a poorly ventilated deck. In those cercumstances best results typically come from using 5/4x4 Ipe decking or using 24''x24'' deck tiles both options of which are typically recommended for poorly ventilated roof decks as well.

Have you looked into garapa as an alternative to ipe? Also, given the low height, why not do a patio instead of a deck? |

From evidence-based practice to data-driven decision making, the role of data in driving everything forward is becoming omnipresent. As a recovering quantitative sociologist this excites me. As a person devoted to building the field and making a difference in the lives of youth it raises both opportunities and concerns.
Like driving a car, youth work is a navigational sport filled with hundreds of decisions on a moment-by-moment basis. Whether it is the development of the field of youth work or the development of a young person, we process thousands of bits of data to make decisions.

Resources for Stroke Survivor Allan Foo
What is a Stroke ?
Stroke is " brain attack " layman terms.
In the body, the blood takes the micron clot to the brain. The effect it blocks small artery in the brain. Then the blood vessel in the brain bursts because blood clot. After the bursting, blood flood into surrounding tissue. The doctor say is Cerebral Hemorrhage. The time is very important, the cell in the brain slowly become regenerative many problems occur because of cell death lack of oxygen in the brain.
In the world, stroke is the third medical condition contributing cause of death. Every 440 seconds someone in the world has a stroke. It cause of long-term disability. Unfortunately, 30% of stroke patients do not survive the first year, and many who do survive are unable to return to work.
Hi there, My name is Allan Foo, stroke survivor,
In the April, 2007, I was 43 years old, the last day of the comfortable live, I was on the way on home driving my car, my hand and leg can feel numbness in the surrounding. the energy in the leg and hand slowly diminishing. I don't know is a Stroke attack my body. I take rest in the emergency lane, I have dozed out not the knowing the time. Something struck my mind, somebody shouting outside the car. A man ask me, what are you do in the late night in the highway ? I want to speak but the stroke get my speech like a 3 month baby speaking.
To cut my story short, I was diagnosed by doctor is stroke, severed stroke ( left hemisphere injury resulting my right side paralysis or stroke paralysis) experiences all of the following problems of:
- Body Weakness,
- Paralysis on the Right side of the body,
- Aphasia (speech problem), write (expression), difficult intellectual and acceptant written language,
- Short term memory problems,
- Spasm (spatial) problems,
- Anxiety behavior way.
What types problems and difficulties facing Stroke Survivor ?
The extent of damage of the brain, the stroke survivor must overcome obstacles depends largely on the type of stroke. The stroke survivor may seem a different person, showing feelings of anger, caution or anxiety that are completely out of character and emotional changes response. Stroke survivor is how to manage their daily lives, advance in their physical and mental therapy, not least rejoin activities family.
Stroke Survivor struggle with the rehabilitation therapy, someday the therapy is very hard plus anxiety, fear, and frustration can be enormous to accomplish
Spastic may occur in some stroke survivors . Why ? I am not a doctor and experiences say where the limbs are affected by range of motion or where the hands and legs become tighten in a grip that is not in control. How to avoids this ? Walking or hand motions is the solutions.
Someday, I have problem with bladder and bowel, can not control happens suddenly. Along with swallowing problems, stroke survivors may have incontinence and excessive weight loss.
Aphasia is second biggest problem on the stroke survivors, speech is become floppy or garbled, you may want to consider a speech therapist, believe it after attending the class the speech therapy show ways to speak, correctly and how to generate words in the brain.
Perseverance and determination is the main factors and essential overcoming the effects of a stroke. By regaining positive power, positive attitude and independence, I suggest stroke survivor to use the computer, gain confidence to write the content and increase memory power, which is an integral component of recuperation. Recovering from certain types of stroke takes a lot of effort months and years.
In 3-6 months, I have suffered massive depression :
A patient who is depressed after a stroke also commonly suffers from emotional ability, the dramatic swing of emotions from tears to laughter and back. However, chemical changes caused by stroke may result in deeper depression and apathy, with the survivor appearing passive and detached, a state that will usually improve with time.
Denial process: I am concerned many factors like natural reaction can't believe that such dramatic changes can occur so suddenly and unsuspectingly, loss money, family, credit card debt, house mortgage, car mortgage, social problem.
Anger process : Normally, anger gives in when the stroke survivor can no more deny that he has changed as a result of the stroke.
Depression process : Someday, I cried cannot believe I cannot walk, talk and write, in the result of imbalances in the brain's chemistry.
Acceptance process : After 12 months, pointless now, get on my life, stroke rehabilitation is the key to get well.
Quoted : " My friend say one thing Is for sure that what you to be smothered by pity and grief, hoping for a miracles science help me or I can put some efforts moves steps on therapy and rehabilitation. Nobody can help you for the rehabilitation unless you help yourself. "
Rehabilitation and Therapy
For me, I have to go to Sau Seng Lum, Stroke rehabilitation center in Puchong, Malaysia. In the physiotherapy center, The center fully new equipped and latest state of art for the stroke rehabilitation. Stroke recovery can be a tedious process without the right rehabilitative equipment.
There are variety of techniques that are suited to different disabilities and situations. are 3 types therapy function as follows
Physiotherapy who specialized in maximizing a stroke survivor's mobility and independence to improve major motive and receptive damages, such as walking, balance and coordination.
Occupational therapy specialized teaches the stroke victims how to compensate for difficulties after a stroke by prescribing activities that help regain lost functions.and to help them achieve which encourage health, prevent injury or disability and which acquire, better, sustain or restore the highest possible level of independence
Speech therapy specialized speech (voice, pitch contour, rate, loudness, articulation, vibrancy, fluency), language and communicative language (including reading and writing), and non-verbal communication such as facial expression, posture and gesture.
I want to apology and thank you to my wife and family because the burden,support and time is critical to successful rehabilitation. Family come to terms in offering methods for coping, contact with the support groups, and, in some cases, medication.
Family members, particularly the primary caregiver need to learn some of the fundamental elements of rehabilitation while the stroke survivor is still hospitalized. One of the most important things family and friends can do to help a stroke survivor is to get them out into the world as much as possible. Stroke survivors can face a variety of physical and mental disabilities that affect their daily lives and can create burden stresses for the family members and caregivers. Depression resulting from a stroke is one of the most difficult factors for a wife and family to deal with.
My GOAL is hoping to regain the use of his hand with the help of a physiotherapy rehabilitation. Someday in the physiotherapy center have feel increased joint pain in the hand and leg because of muscle weakness. All of their basic skills (talking, walking, handwriting, and concentration) become diminish when he or she is tired and or frustrated. Stroke survivors can have problems with balance during walking.
The main goals of stroke survivors are to prevent a second stroke and avoid any complications that may delay recovery process.
It's A Shame For YOU Not To Start A New Second Life, STOP complaining and accept the reality becoming Stroke Survivor —————–
- YOU Believe in yourself , do not say negative word die
- YOU have had a STROKE, you are not DEAD, Get on with your life!
- YOU want to get better, stop complaining for yourself. You have to work hard in rehabilitation therapy.
- YOU look to the new future, and think what to plan for your 2nd life and forget the past. Past cannot help you.
- YOU improve your memory and knowledge by further study
- YOU seek support and consultation from (family, friends, caregiver & other stroke survivors)
- YOU everyday have a sense of humor, happy go lucky.
- YOU must be able to laugh at yourself In the mirror.
- YOU and your body doesn't work, doesn't mean that you can't be a whole new person.
I learn more from the book " How To Start A Brand New life ! " after stroke.
In the book to teach yourself how to everyday motivate your mind become better.
I highly recommend the Ebook " How to Start A brand new life ! " especially if you're just starting new journey of your life.

Stop making mountains out of molehills.
The James Kelly event certainly seems extreme, but even bringing up the ad by Palin supporters is really "way out there". Get a life. "War-like" or "battle" language and metaphors are very common in politics, and are used by BOTH major parties.
No matter how you feel about Palin or her politics, trying to blame this on her or her supporters is just grasping at straws. If you want to see how disturbed this guy was, take a look at what appears to be
his YouTube channel. -
Anne Ominous commented on the blog post Audit The Fed: A Success through Transpartisan Activism
Grouping Libertarians with "the right" or even worse as here, actually calling them "right", is simply incorrect. To do so is to falsely characterize the Libertarian philosophy.
Libertarians are NOT "right-wing", no matter how much the right has tried to make itself look Libertarian over the last couple of years. They are not the same things at all. Lumping them together indicates (A) ignorance, or (B) an agenda, and neither is fitting for an article intended to be factual.

As promised, I wanted to post additional information about the work in progress on the Diet and Nutrition Orders Domain Analysis Model currently in progress on the Health Level Seven International (HL7) May 2012 ballot. This is the second "informative" ballot and reflects comments received from the first ballot from September 2011, along with new storyboards or real-life scenarios to support business process flow for dietitian consultations and nutrition assessment activities, based on the nutrition care process as they pertain to nutrition order modifications. This version of the model also includes more details for food allergies, food intolerances, and food preference order requests, which are an integral part of patient care.
Monday April 30, is the last day to sign up for this ballot. Members of HL7 or those who work in HL7-member health care organizations are encouraged to sign up by the April 30 deadline for the Diet and Nutrition Orders Domain Analysis Model ballot pool on the HL7 Web site and submit any comments by May 7, 2012.
