We have lived in Central Florida for a year.

For you lily fans. my 5 year old Kaffir lily is going to bloom. Once I figure out the technical end of it, I will send photo to GardenWeb. Ii think it's going to be orange.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Attendance: None
Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Lou Montanez plated the game-winning run with a single in the eighth, and Baltimore took a 5-4 victory from Minnesota to sweep a quick two-game set at Camden Yards.
Aubrey Huff smacked a two-run homer and scored twice with two walks, while Melvin Mora also homered and scored twice as part of a 2-for-4 effort.
The Orioles logged a 4-1 win Wednesday in a six-inning, rain-shortened game and have three wins in their last four following a six-game slide.
Jim Johnson (2-0) received the win for tossing a scoreless top half of the eighth, and George Sherrill worked around a two-out walk in the ninth for his fifth save this season.
Starter Brad Bergesen lasted six innings, allowing 11 hits and three runs with one walk and three strikeouts.
Joe Mauer and Delmon Young each had three hits and drove in one for the Twins, who have lost five of their past six games.
Glen Perkins was touched for four runs on five hits and two walks with as many strikeouts in his six-inning start.
The Orioles took the lead with a run in the eighth off Jose Mijares (0-1). Mora singled with one away and took second when Ty Wigginton followed suit two batters later. Montanez then drove a base hit into left field, and Denard Span double-clutched after fielding the ball and had his throw to the plate cut off by third baseman Joe Crede. Mora was able to cross home before Wigginton was nailed trying to take third.
Sherrill was brought in to close it out in the ninth and secured two quick outs before Mauer worked a walk. Justin Morneau, though, fought off a slider low and away for a weak fly ball to left that ended the game.
Minnesota scored the game's first run in the top of the second. Crede doubled leading off and scampered home on a Michael Cuddyer single to center.
The O's took the lead with two in the bottom portion. Mora led off with a home run to left-center and Huff followed with a walk. Perkins retired the next two batters, but consecutive singles from Gregg Zaun and Cesar Izturis plated Huff.
The Twins tied the game in the third but quickly allowed Baltimore to back in front in the home half.
Span, Matt Tolbert and Mauer opened with singles to load the bases, and Morneau lofted a sac fly to center. Bergesen buckled down to retire Jason Kubel on a fly out and Crede on a liner to left, avoiding further damage.
Perkins then hit Nick Markakis with a one-out pitch, and Huff drilled a two- out homer to right for the 4-2 Baltimore lead after three.
"I was sitting fastball," said Huff. "I had two sliders in a row and they were both for balls. Most times they'll come back with a fastball and I was looking for that."
The Twins deadlocked the game at four with single runs in the sixth and seventh frames.
Kubel and Crede started the sixth with base hits, and Cuddyer grounded into a double play, moving Kubel to third. Young came through with a two-out RBI single to right.
Chris Ray took over for Bergesen in the seventh, and Span greeted him with a single. Ray threw errantly to first on a pickoff attempt, advancing the runner to second. Span took third on a sac bunt and scored when Mauer lined a base hit into center field.
"We've got to play good baseball, especially in the American League, especially in this division," said Cuddyer. "If you don't we're going to be in for a long season. We can't make as many mistakes as we have and play good baseball."

text: WEST LINN - The City of West Linn is pleased to offer 'Skype With Mike' on the following dates in July and August: July 15, Noon - 1:00 August 5, Noon - 1:00 August 19, Noon - 1:00 Following in the successful footsteps of Councilor Jenni Tan's monthly coffee dates at coffee shops around West Linn, Councilor Mike Jones seeks to connect with citizens about different West Linn issues using Skype technology. Citizens who would like to speak with Councilor Jones during 'Skype With Mike' times should add Skype user name CityOfWestLinn to their Skype accounts, log in during the specified times, and call Skype user name CityOfWestLinn. Video calling is encouraged. Skype offers a free download of the software. Calls will be answered on a first-come, first-serve basis. The West Linn City Council's unanimously adopted priorities for this year include citizen communications and outreach, with an understanding that "...civic engagement is measured by more than attendance at public meetings and now includes technology, social media, and other opportunities that promote involvement with city affairs." Connecting with citizens via Skype allows for people who are unable to schedule face-to-face meetings due to work or prior committments to have the same opportunities to meet and share information with Councilor Mike Jones. If the July and August 'Skype With Mike' sessions are successful, they will be continued through the fall and winter. In addition, this technology may be used for different types of citizen outreach on various City projects. ###

Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants.
Read the care content label:
On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves
You can use the dryer, carefully:
If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.

Twitch Tools is a site providing you external tools for the streaming service Twitch. We are not associated with Twitch in any way, and all of these tools are coded independently using the Twitch API. Below are all of the tools we provide and a quick description of what they can do. Please share this website with your friends if you enjoy it, and also check out our Twitter.
Video and Clip Downloader is a simple way to download past broadcasts, clips and highlights from Twitch. All that is required is a URL to the video you wish to download. If a streamer has their Past Broadcasts for subscribers only, you will need to login to your Twitch Account to be able to download the videos. The videos are all stored on the Twitch servers and our tool only provides you links to these videos.
Emoticons is a page where we try to keep an as up to date list of all the emoticons available on Twitch. But with the recent updates to Twitch, it seems that almost every channel now has emoticons. You can search by your favorite streamers username and view all the available emoticons.
Channel Information provides a way to get all available information about a user or a channel on Twitch. We use the public API's available to grab this information to show you. If you have any privacy concerns, you will have to take it up with Twitch since we do not store this information.
The Team Information tools will provide you a list of all the current members of that team and basic information about the team. If you are curious about Team roster changes or want to see if any new members are part of a team, this is a great tool to use. Quickly see all of the team members and visit their profiles and steams.
Use your computer and internet to download a list of all the fans of a channel. This feature is very slow since it has to make a ton of requests to the Twitch API, which by itself is really slow. The download is provided as a CSV file to be used in spreadsheet software such as Excel.
Download a CSV of all the channels a specific user is following. Like Channel's Fans, your computer is making all of the requests to the Twitch server, which will take a long time depending on how many channels a user is following.
Generate your IRC Chat Token for your Twitch account. When accessing your Twitch Chat through an IRC Client such as mIRC or my perferred IRC client XChat or Irssi, you will need to login using your OAuth Token instead of your normal Twitch password. This tool will quickly display your oauth token and then show you the commands required to login to your account through IRC.

Baltimore Cocaine Distributor Sentenced to over 10 Years in Prison
Distributed More Than 15 Kilograms of Cocaine in a Three Month Period
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Dante Chavez, age 38, of Baltimore, today to 121 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to his guilty plea, between April and May, 2008, Chavez was intercepted in a series of communications and telephone contacts with co-conspirators Gilbert Watkins and Mark Hawkins in which Chavez spoke about supplying kilograms of cocaine to Hawkins and then having the cocaine distributed to Watkins. Chavez referred to the kilograms in simple abbreviated terms such as "one," "two," and "three," and amounts less than a kilogram in coded terms such as "Michael Vicks," and "Apollo tickets." On May 15, 2008, Chavez and Hawkins were intercepted in a series of conversations in which Hawkins requested that Chavez supply him with three kilograms of cocaine. Chavez advised Hawkins that his supplier would only provide two kilograms at a time and that he would order two kilograms now and another kilogram in an hour. Later that day, law enforcement agents arrested Chavez and a search warrant was executed at his home in the 6100 block of Furley Way in Baltimore. Agents recovered 297.2 grams of cocaine powder, 34.7 grams of crack cocaine and $12,500. Chavez admits that he is responsible for the distribution of between 15 and 50 kilograms of cocaine from March to May, 2008.
Gilbert Watkins, age 35 and Mark Hawkins, age 36, both of Baltimore, pleaded guilty to their roles in the conspiracy. Watkins is scheduled to be sentenced on May 4, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. No date has been set for Hawkins' sentencing.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration and Baltimore County Police Department for their investigative work and commended Assistant United States Attorney Charles J. Peters, who prosecuted the case.

Shelling out a bit for a nice iPhone case is a legitimate splurge—that's something you see everyday and presumably your phone is something you want to take good care of. Of course, when you decide to spend, say, more than $50 on one, we'd expect it to be extremely cute. Pierre Hardy gets an A+ for this unique trompe l'oeil cube design, something we've never seen before on an iPhone case. Regretfully, we're completely puzzled by Sonia Rykiel's wares—these velour pouches bedazzled with the words "phone bag" or "ibag." Is it just us, or do they look a bit like mall trash couture?

The Only Running Footman
London, England, W1J 5DE, United Kingdom
The Only Running Footman, part true British pub, part formal restaurant, has made a name for itself with its straightforward approach to classic British cuisine. Located just off Berkeley Square in London's Mayfair district, the red brick Footman offers a casual pub setting on the ground floor, as well as the more formal (think: white linens and leather back chairs) First Floor Restaurant. In addition to classic English breakfasts, the pub specialty is its beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas. Meanwhile, the First Floor Restaurant specializes in more sophisticated dishes, including rump of new season lamb with garden pods and sea bass with ratatouille.

Simulation of Windbreaks for Wind-Erosion Control in a Wind Tunnel
W.M. Cornelis, D. Gabriels, and T. Lauwaerts
Windbreaks have been used for many years to reduce wind speed as a wind-erosion control measure. However, there is yet no clear answer on what should be the optimal design for windbreaks. In a wind tunnel we tested five single-row barriers, each with different stem and canopy porosity, and a two- and three-row barrier on their efficiency in wind-speed reduction. Zones of erosion and deposition were determined from wind-speed measurements and compared with experimental wind-tunnel data on sand transport. As regards porosity distribution, evenly distributed porosity of stem and canopy resulted in the longest protected area. Dense lower parts were more efficient than more porous lower parts. Two- and three-row barriers were more efficient in terms of wind-speed reduction close to the barrier only. At higher distances, single-row barriers resulted in higher wind-speed reduction. Also sheltering zone of single-row barriers was higher. Erosion was almost not observed in the case of a barrier with evenly distributed porosity. Deposition was only significant in front of and up to 5 H leeward of such a barrier. The absence of a dense lower part resulted in an excessive zone of erosion behind the barrier. The experimental data confirmed the graphically determined zones of deposition.

BILLINGS - Lousiana Governor Bobby Jindal came to Billings to campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Hill.
Jindal spoke to about 150 Hill supporters at Mercedes Benz of Billings, Thursday evening.
"Governor Jindal came all the way from Louisiana to be here for us for an event," Hill said. "It's exciting to have him here."
Hill says some of Jindal's ideas will work in Montana.
"We know we can do a lot better," Hill said. "Republican, conservative ideas, smaller government, more opportunity equals more prosperity. If we can get our legal climate and our regulatory climate through the mainstream, we can unleash our economic potential."
Mercedes Benz of Billings owner Steve Zabawa says the Republican Governors Association is campaigning in states where it believes there is a chance for the GOP candidate to win.

What to Expect
The Worship Service Experience
We have a simple format for our worship service. We don't do things that have to be memorized in advance. We use tools such as video, visual arts and personal stories to communicate the message of God's love in a clear and contemporary way. Our pastor is committed to preach messages that deal with real life issues. The messages are biblical, relevant and practical. Our commitment is to offer a worship experience that makes sense and makes a difference.
Our music style consists of a live band with a modern sound. We project the words to the songs onto a screen so we don't use hymnbooks. We may even do a traditional church hymn, but it probably will not be presented in a traditional way. The songs we sing may be new to you at first but we believe you will enjoy the music and find that it helps you connect to God in a meaningful way.
Come As You Are
Since God doesn't have a dress code neither do we. We encourage you to come as you are comfortable. The people you see on the stage will be casually dressed.
And Bring Your Kids
During our Sunday Worship Celebration we offer a safe and nurturing environment for our infants and toddlers in our nursery. Our pre-school and elementary-aged kids love our high-energy children's ministry in "The Beach" where each week is filled with songs, games, and interactive teaching that instill core biblical truths in our children's lives. At Hope Springs you can be assured that we love and value kids and we hope to make their time with us one of the best hours of their week!
Other Important Questions
How long will the service last?
Our Worship Celebration begins at 10:45 a.m. and usually lasts an hour and 15 minutes. Our Children's Ministry occurs simultaneously, so we don't offer a traditional Sunday School. We encourage you to come early or stay after and enjoy refreshments and a cup of coffee.
Will I be singled out as a visitor?
First of all, we consider you a guest not a visitor. Our commitment is to create a welcoming climate where you will feel at home. We will not put you on the spot by having you say anything, stand or identify yourself as new. You will have an opportunity at your own choosing to fill out a Connection Card that will give you the chance to find out specific information about the ministries of Hope Springs.
What kind of church is it?
Hope Springs is a United Methodist faith community. We are a congregation of the Kentucky Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church which consists of almost 900 churches throughout Kentucky. We offer opportunities to learn about the history and beliefs of United Methodists as well as the vision and values of Hope Springs Community Church in our Discovery 101 class for persons who are considering membership in the church or just simply want to know more.

If you have ever wondered what a real man, a real woman, or a real something in-between is, this is a must read. "My Gender Workbook" has interactive exercises, advice, and guidance on gender, and provokes the reader to question the whole idea of gender as an absolute. We all have elements of each gender, and Bornstein goes to the point of arguing that there are many genders, not just two, and it is possible to lack gender entirely. As a transgendered person myself, I found the book enlightening and helpful in my own discovery of gender, and who I really am. In fact, this is one of the most useful books I have found on gender identity, and I refer back to it often.
a book for all genders, orientations, and adjectives. i've yet to show this book to someone who wasnt impressed. kate talks theory for those of us that would like a little, adds a dash of cosmology, and then gets into the true, errr, meat of exploring gender with fun exercizes and quizzes. hilarious, irrreverent, and ever-relevant it explores gender while maintaining the upbeat aesthetics of a true gender artist. whether your interest is academic or personal, it's a must read for _anyone_ interested in questions of gender.
This book - if it can be called that - is about the most extensive course in Gender Studies one could take without walking into a classroom and spending five months with a professor. Kate leads you through every step of the process with humor, insight and compassion - never pulling any of hir punches, though. If you're curious about the creation of gender, thinking about changing or reexamining your own gender, this is definitely a book you need to read.

Sharm El Sheikh, Red Sea Riviera, Egypt
| |||||
What is included
Child prices: (up to 11.99yrs)
Optional extras
"loving it !" **** Written on: 25 April 2013 "we are still here after 10 days and loving it - EXCELLENT staff in all areas, good linen, activities daily for those inclined and a short walk to lovely, naturally preserved Red Sea beach, with regular hotel bus trips if you don't wish to walk uphill - it is, however, very easy to walk to - the pools are great and clean and although we are not the greatest fans of 'all inclusives' we both agree that the food here is consistently good and fresh, we are delighted and looking forward to the rest of our stay - this hotel is in the Soho Square complex which also includes The Savoy and Royal Savoy hotels, the activities nightly are incredibly varied, from Chinese acrobatic teams, to sand painting, full bands, oriental musicians etc, a superb venue for couples and/or families. Room Tip: all rooms are well laid out, and the only area that has music is also somewhat nestled by the pool" "3rd Time and Counting!" ***** Written on: 23 April 2013 "From the moment of arrival on 17th March, when we were met at the front door by George from reception with a handshake and a "welcome back" greeting to the moment we left on 27th, our holiday was great. The hotel even arranged our transfer back to the airport in their courtesy bus when our travel company transport failed to notify us of our return pick up times. This was our 3rd stay at the Sierra and I would say that the hotel gets better every time we stay. We even received a call from the Guest Relations desk welcoming us back to our second home. The Mountain View restaurant was a noticeable improvement on our last visit. Tables were cleared almost immediately, drinks were delivered and refilled without having to summon the waiters and having to wait for a table was a thing of the past. Well done to the Management for sorting this issue out. I would agree with other guests reviews that maybe the Dining Room tables and chairs should be the next area for refurbishment! The lovely thing about returning to the Sierra is that all the staff remember you from your previous visit with a 'welcome back' and 'lovely to see you again'. They are such a lovely bunch and are a great credit to you and your hotel. Once again we had a room at the Sunset pool (Adults only) which was fantastic and with Ehab and Mina at the bar who could ask for more. Drinks arrive at your sunbed at regular intervals throughout the day.without having to go to the bar to order them. What service is that! Soho Square is a great addition to the AI deal at the hotel and is one of the reasons for us returning time and again. The Square is very safe and there is no sign of any trouble. Please do go to Egypt and see for yourselves. Once again, thank you Sierra for a lovely holiday and we look forward to the next one later in the year. Room Tip: Try for a room around the Sunset pool - (rooms in the 3000's) - morning sun on the low numbers..." "Excellent hotel and staff" ***** Written on: 22 April 2013 "We enjoyed this holiday so much we are returning again in July, this time with more family members. The hotel is exceptionally clean, the food is good with the added bonus of being able to eat out in soho square. The atmosphere in soho square is wonderful especially when the musical fountains begin, not to be missed! We are really looking forward to meeting up again with the brilliant staff that looked after us so well last time, namely Elsaid, Mina and Ehab.Stayed July 2013, travelled with family"

Higher insurance bills ahead for Illinois
Illinois is poised to raise the minimum amount of car insurance its drivers must carry.
The proposal will cost the poorest drivers a bit more but also means that their insurance coverage might actually cover the damage after an at-fault accident.
A bill ready for Gov. Pat Quinn's signature would increase mandatory liability insurance for bodily injury from $20,000 to $25,000 per person, and from $40,000 to $50,000 per accident. Required property damage liability would rise to $20,000 from $15,000. (See "What you need to know about car insurance in Illinois.")
Not many drivers buy only the minimum levels insurance -- and not many should.
Any damage above your policy limits is your personal responsibility. If you buy only $20,000 worth of property damage insurance and total some lawyer's Porsche, he can go after the remainder in court.
Minimum coverage is usually OK for drivers who don't have a home or substantial savings. The increase in minimum required coverage should raise liability rates for those drivers about 10 percent.
[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.]
In Illinois' most expensive ZIP code, 60624 in Chicago, a 24-year-old man with a clean record driving a 2004 Ford Taurus would pay about $716 a year for the new mandatory amounts. He would pay just $554 in the cheapest ZIP code, 61761 in Normal.
Every state bordering Illinois would have a lower property damage limit after the change. Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky, for example, require only $10,000.
The average new-car transaction price in April was $30,084, according to TrueCar.com.
Liability insurance covers only the damage that drivers do to other people and property. The Illinois law would take effect in 2015 if Quinn signs the bill.

On Saturday 5th, Adam Vaughan will be giving a talk to the public about LEGO Friends and the design process that they've been through - for the last 4 years. On Sunday 6th, Mark Stafford will be answering the most popular question he gets - "How do you become a LEGO designer?" and on Monday, well, there is going to be a session on Monday at 2pm - but that one's still under wraps! It's very, very, exciting!
The LEGO Show team also announced some special sessions for those adult fans attending over the weekend. 2 special AFOLCON sessions will be given on Saturday and Sunday evenings, at 5:30pm. If you can't attend the AFOLCON days, this will give any AFOL the chance to hang out with other attendees, meet all the LEGO employees that are at the show and listen to some special announcements. The first of these to be announced is that on Saturday evening, Signe Lonholdt will be giving us the inside info on 'ReBrick: behind the scenes'.
So, what are you waiting for? Tickets are selling fast, so to guarantee entrance to The LEGO Show, go to www.thelegoshow.com to buy your tickets in advance. You'll save 25%, skip all the queues and guarantee your entrance to the largest LEGO event in the UK!

The Monday sounds exciting! Re-release of Galidor I hope! (jk :p) It's going to be fun! One more exclamation mark!
I don't think I am going to be able to go sadly. I'll be hard at work revising for GCSEs in May! But I will be going to Swindon for the GWLS in October, possibly as an exhibitor if I can wrangle a deal with them to let me exhibit although I am not old enough to be a member of Brickish. I saw one or two people last year who looked under 18 but were sitting proudly behind their MOCs. Was that you? If it was, how did you manage to get to exhibit? Or does anyone else know?
^ those guys did not last long. They were asked to leave immediately (which they did). You have to be a Brickish member to exhibit, and for that you must be over 18...sorry!
@Martin - That seems like quite a poor policy, no offence intended of course. Is it some kind of insurance reason or is it just a privilege of being a Brickish member? When I asked an exhibitor last year I was advised that if I were accompanied by an adult at all times it would be OK to exhibit. It seems strange that under age exhibitors were moved on as as well, because I went last year on Sunday, so surely they would have been long gone by then? Anyway, thanks for clarifying, two more years of just looking I suppose...
@CapnRex101 - I'll let Martin answer for STEAM, but it's not just insurance reasons. Sadly, UK legislation and guidelines* are pretty strict regarding working with anyone under 18. It's not impossible, obviously, but it does make things far far more complex to arrange.
Apart from that, it also confuses the public. I've had to turn down a number of requests that were obviously not AFOLs, just eager parents wanting to show off their 6yr olds' latest creation. If there are other exhibitors under 18 that makes it very hard for me to say no to them.
As an example of what we have to do - I spent 3 days training at the NSPCC last month, so I can act as the 'Designated Safeguarding Children Officer' for the public. Believe me, 3 days of talking about child abuse is *not* fun....
Do I want to exhibit TFOL MOCs? Yes - very much so, and as The LEGO Show is run by a limited company with corporate insurance, I can allow 16yr olds to do so (with their parents present). But anything more is a whole pile of hurt, sadly, and that's coming from a company, not a voluntary LUG :-(
*the UK, specifically. Most other countries in which LEGO events are held have far different (read: easier to work with) legislation. For example, in the Netherlands you don't need any public liability insurance as a company because every citizen has their own!!
@Warrenelsmore - Thanks for this, interesting to read. Only a couple of years to go!

A freestanding wine cooler is designed to stand alone while a built-in wine cooler (also called a zero clearance or under-counter wine cooler) is designed to be built into existing counters and cabinetry as they include a front vent located under the door that channels heat forward away from the unit.
Back to TopA freestanding wine cooler is designed to dissipate heat from the back, so this heat cannot escape from an enclosure and eventually will overheat the unit. This overheating will in turn noticeably decrease the cooler's ability to maintain its internal temperature and cool your wine. The unit's compressor will attempt to overcompensate for the overheating unit and may eventually burn itself out. At the very least you run the risk of shortening the cooler's overall lifespan as the compressor is continually overworked. You also run the risk of invalidating the manufacturer's warranty by operating a freestanding unit in a built-in space.
Back to TopYes, if you allow sufficient space around the unit for the heat produced during operation to properly dissipate you will be able to install a freestanding unit into a built-in space. We strongly suggest leaving a gap of 2 to 3 inches on each side of the cooler as well as on top and in the back to create the needed airflow around the unit. You will not be able to achieve a true built-in appearance with these gaps but this should allow you to utilize a freestanding unit within a built-in space.
Back to TopMany smaller wine coolers employ thermoelectric cooling instead of using a traditional compressor and refrigerant. A thermoelectric wine cooler contains a cooling node consisting of a ceramic tile that has electrical current passed through it. As the electrical current is passed through the cooling node the outside of the tile will heat up and the other side (the side facing into the cooler) will cool down. Typically, a thermoelectric wine cooler will contain small fans inside the unit which help to evenly distribute the cool temperatures being created by the node throughout the interior of the unit.
Back to TopDue to the lack of a compressor, thermoelectric coolers will produce fewer vibrations which in turn will equal fewer disturbances of the sediments within the wine bottles. Please keep in mind that thermoelectric wine coolers are not completely silent as the internal fans needed to distribute the cold air within the cooler do produce some noise. However, they are usually quieter than compressor driven models. Thermoelectric coolers also consume less energy than compressor units, so they cost less to operate. On the other hand, thermoelectric coolers are limited in that they can generally only produce temperatures about 20°F lower than the temperature outside the unit. Compressor-based cooling does not have the same limitation.
Back to TopIf you keep two cases or less on hand, the room where the cooler will be kept doesn't get too warm, and you want a freestanding wine cooler, then a thermoelectric wine cooler is probably a good choice for you. For warmer rooms and larger collections, you'll be better served by a compressor-based cooler. Also, most built-in models feature a compressor.
Back to TopSingle zone wine coolers have one temperature control and the storage space is undivided, so the whole cooler is set to the same temperature. This style is best if you tend to keep only white or only red wines, since they don't have the same optimal temperatures. Dual zone wine coolers have two temperature controls and the storage space is divided into sections which may be set to their own temperatures. This style is ideal for keeping both reds and whites without resorting to two wine coolers.
Back to TopTypically, white wines should be stored in the temperature range of 46ºF to 56ºF and red wines will be stored between 58ºF to 68ºF. The best way to accommodate both wines within the same unit is to purchase a dual zone wine cooler. A dual zone cooler will allow you to maintain two distinct and separate temperature zones within the same cooler. Many times a dual zone unit will offer a larger storage capacity for one style of wine over the other so be sure to purchase the unit that best suits your individual drinking preference. You may of course store both red and white wines together in a single zone unit. By placing your red wines in the top shelves of the unit you will be storing them in the warmest section of the cooler. There is usually only a 5 to 8 degree temperature difference between the top of a single zone wine cooler and the bottom so ultimately either your red wines will be too cold or your whites too warm depending on how you choose to set the master thermostat of the unit.
Back to TopThe average wine cooler will not offer temperatures below 46ºF degrees. Due to this limitation we suggest purchasing a dedicated beverage cooler or traditional refrigerator if you wish to store beverages other than wine.
Back to TopA wine cooler is set to a higher temperature range than a refrigerator or beverage cooler because wine should not be stored as cold as other beverages. On average a wine cooler will not offer temperatures below 46ºF degrees. A beverage cooler and refrigerator are similar to each other, but beverage coolers frequently do not offer the adjustable shelves or door storage that a refrigerator will, and they often have glass doors in order to display the contents. A wine and beverage cooler has a wide temperature range so it may be used for either, but keep in mind if you want to store both at the same time you will either have too-cold wine or too-warm drinks depending on how you choose to set the internal thermostat.
Back to TopWine ages through a complex process of subtle chemical reactions that require specific conditions for optimal results. These conditions are a stable temperature around 55°F, a relative humidity around 70%, and protection from direct light. Even short exposures to temperature extremes can cause wine to age poorly as unwanted chemical reactions are created. For these reasons, a cellar is the ideal environment for aging wine.
Back to TopThe most important thing you can do is to keep the temperature at a stable 55°F - it's crucial to eliminate variations in temperature. Look for a cooler with UV-tinted glass to minimize light disturbance to your wine, and store the cooler in a dark place. To maintain a humidity around 70%, look for a wine cooler that features humidity control or heavy insulation to help maintain a constant humidity. At the minimum, humidity must be kept at 50% to prevent corks from drying out.
Back to TopCaution: Make sure to minimize the exposure of water to any electronic or control parts.

Wedding: 10/5/2013
My husband and I are from Kentucky and when we decided to get married at the beach in Delray Beach, FL we were not sure how were going to make that happen. I wasn't even for sure that I wanted or needed a wedding planner but I started looking and found Stefanie Fox at Mr. & Mrs. Wedding and after speaking to her once I knew that I needed her and her team to execute the type of wedding I wanted. I truly believe that Mr. & Mrs. Wedding was God sent. Stefanie Fox and I just "clicked" from the very first time we spoke. It is because of her and her team that I had the wedding of my dreams, it was literally more than I could have ever imagined. Stefanie is truly an amazing wedding planner and a wonderful person. She recommended the best vendors and still kept me in budget. She is extremely organized and very professional. She was on top of things from the first time we spoke. I never felt stressed or worried during the entire planning process. Even though she is a wedding planner she made sure that my ideas and visions were executed and that was very important to me. My friends and family raved about her and her team from the moment they met her. My sister kept saying the day of the wedding "you are so calm today" and I truly believe that is because I didn't have worry in the world because Stefanie handled everything so wonderfully. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. & Mrs. Wedding!!! They are absolutely amazing and wonderful to work with!!!!

From the moment Stefanie and I met, I knew that she was the right person for our wedding. She always made sure that every single detail was taken care of and that the wedding evolve flawlessly. Stefanie was very organized before and during the event, there was a plan for everything, down to the minute. I did a lot of research in picking my vendors and trust me I am so thankful that I chose the Mr. & Mrs. Wedding team. I highly recommend the "Mr. & Mrs. Wedding" team.
Wedding: 6/30/2012
Stefanie and her staff were awesome!! I am so glad we hired her to do our wedding, otherwise I really don't know what we would have done. We used her for the "Day of Planner" and from the moment we hired her she was on top of emails, phone calls, everything! I have anxiety and she made sure that on the day of (and the months leading up to the wedding) that we wouldn't have to worry about anything .. and honestly we didn't. I always hear stories about something going wrong at the wedding, but honestly I can't say that there was anything that really went wrong and if it did, we didn't know about it. You will not regret hiring her and I can honestly say it's the best money I have ever spent. I wanted to enjoy my wedding without the distractions of dealing with vendors or issues and with her I was able to! Love you Stef!!

Thanks to you and Devin for making our Destination Wedding special and stress free. It was beyond perfect thanks to your attention to detail. You not only helped as maximize our budget with the vendors you recommended, but also ensured that our guests had a wonderful time. There was no way we could have pulled together such a memorable event without you.
When we first decided on having a destination wedding in Florida, we had no idea where to even start. Stefanie was a tremendous help finding, selecting and negotiating with the vendors we used for our wedding. Fast forward to the wedding weekend under Stefanie and Devin's supervision, all the aspects of the wedding went flawlessly leaving our guests with nothing but fun memories.
I highly recommend this team. Prior to the wedding they were a huge help, but the DAY of the Wedding they were indispensable. I was totally relax and enjoying my day (as any bride should) because I had this amazing team dealing with all the vendors and making sure oour day was better than we ever dreamed of.
Wedding: 11/5/2011
Getting married on the beach was our dream, but planning a Florida wedding from our home in Columbus, Ohio seemed overwhelming. Hiring Stefanie and Devin was the best decision we made! From finding the perfect venue to providing us with the most amazing vendors – caterer, photographer, florist, accommodations, transportation – all within our limited budget, Stefanie truly made the experience so exciting! Even though we were hundreds of miles away, she made the whole process stress-free and she was right there for us from beginning to end. You couldn't ask for a better communicator, we loved being able to Skype with her whenever we had questions or just wanted to talk fun details! I honestly can't imagine our wedding day without her, she really made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride in the world. I knew that all I had to do was show up with my dress and enjoy every minute – Stefanie truly took care of the rest!
Wedding: 10/22/2011
Stephanie and Devon MADE things happen for us. We had an extremely complicated theme and what seemed impossible to bring to fruition they made look effortless and did with such a professional nature. Didn't matter what it was "we" were heard and it was delivered. We miss them being part of our lives they are two of the best people you will ever get to know blessed with incredible talent!
Wedding: 10/22/2011
Stef was a friend from college over 15 yrs ago, so I knew I could trust her with the most important date of my life, and that she wouldn't let me down. She was very flexible on packages and services offered, and bent over backwards to accommodate my constantly changing needs. She was always calm, rational, creative at problem solving, and supportive, even when she disagreed with my decisions. My day came out spectacular, and I didn't realize until that date how much I needed someone by my side to do the thinking for me! I could not have done that without her!
Wedding: 7/23/2011
Stefani and her husband were complete professionals. They kept their attention on all the details as well as the big picture. My wedding was the wedding of my dreams, and I know it wouldn't nearly as great if she hadn't been a part of the planning. She really kept a lot of the stress off of my shoulders throughout the planning period, and during the day of. If it weren't for Stefani I would have turned into a bridezilla!
Wedding: 7/23/2011
Hiring them, was the best descicion we made ever, it save us so much time, trouble and headaches. They are the nicest, friendly people, I felt so comfortable with her she ended becoming a friend! All her vendors are so talented and willing to work with me, they definetly pick up the vision. Stephanie and her husband were in everything, I just followed the plan and enjoyed the wedding. We got many complimments. My daughters wedding was just beautiful!!! Thank you!
Wedding: 6/13/2011
Mr. and Mrs. Wedding was absolutely wonderful to work with! Not only did they provide exceptional service, it was a pleasure working with them every step of the way. They addressed every single detail and went above and beyond to provide a family memory that our guests continue to talk about. Stephanie exceeded our expectations in coordinating an exceptional destination wedding! What a pleasant experience, and I look forward to working with them again for my other daughter!
Wedding: 5/21/2011
Stefanie was a savior to us. She helped from the day we hired her right thru the wedding day. There wasn't a set amount of emails or calls you could have with her. You could contact her anytime. Any question we had about anything she had the answer or would find the answer. Don't worry about your schedule either cause she finds a way to work around yours whether it be at night, during the day or the weekend. The cost of her was well worth it as we saved that money easily on vendors and the reception hall which we never would have known about without her. Not only did she help plan our perfect wedding, we gained a friend. Thanks so much for you help. I highly highly recommend her.
Wedding: 11/6/2010
Stefanie and Devin helped me to plan a flawless wedding. I could not have asked for a better day. The team of vendors that they put together really worked seamlessly with one another. Because of their contacts I was able to save money vs. what I would have spent reaching
out to vendors on my own. Stefanie and Devin really know South Florida and showed me some of the most unique spots to hosts a perfect day. My guests said that it was "The Best Wedding I Have Ever Been To" Just
those words alone made me so happy.
Wedding: 2/20/2011
Stefanie and Devin are wonderful!! It would have been impossible to have as much fun on our wedding day as we did without them!!
We were about 3 months away from the wedding when we decided it would be best to transfer responsibility to a wedding planer so that we could enjoy our wedding day and the weeks leading up to it. We asked our DJ if he happened to know of any great wedding planers and he highly recommended Stefanie and Devin Fox. Within minutes of meeting Stefanie, I knew she would be a great person to work with. She is very sweet and friendly, and really listens your ideas and what you want. After hiring her, she quickly learned all the details of our wedding and within 1 month found us several different vendors that were thousands of dollars less than the vendors we found on our own. During the months leading up to our wedding, Stefanie was always available to speak with me on the phone or meet me in person. She always answered my e-mails quickly and she made it a point to attend my dress fittings, our walk though's with other vendors and our tasting with the caterer. She also created an extremely detailed timeline and made sure every single vendor at our wedding knew exactly what they were doing and at what time.
On our wedding day, Stefanie and Devin worked together to ensure every single detail was carried out flawlessly. I knew I could totally let go and enjoy myself because Stefanie and Devin would make sure everything ran perfectly. And it did, thanks to them!!! I'm so happy my husband and I could share our most special day with Sefanie and Devin. They are such wonderful people and amazing wedding planners! I would highly recommend hiring them!!
Wedding: 2/24/2011
Stefanie and Devin are wonderful. I had a small budge and was hesitant to hire a wedding planner but these guys are worth every penny. Stefanie was there for us to help with whatever we needed and truly delivered on our wedding day. This couple is doing it right, they are extremely helpful, not pushy, and truly understand that this is a special day and there is only one chance to make it perfect!

Nutritional Deer Supplement
It's the most powerful whitetail attractant on the market.
Scientifically Proven!
What happens to BB^2 & XX if they get wet, and will they mold?
As with any organic deer nutrition material, if the conditions are right, the products will mold. Temperature, humidity, and moisture content are factors to be aware of when storing Big & J products. With proper storage however, our deer feed products mold to compromise the product's effectiveness. Proper storage of deer feed is the best way to eliminate the potential for mold.
In addition, Big & J deer attractants don't retain moisture like many other products do. A common base ingredient in whitetail deer nutrition products is flour, which retains moisture and which you won't find in Big & J products. Rain has little effect on Big & J deer feed as water passes through the product allowing it to dry out to its original form without the crusting over common to other products. Rain actually carries some of the minerals into the ground and, once the products are consumed, the deer continue to visit the location just like a mineral-lick site.
In no way will the rain affect the smell or attracting capabilities of our deer feed products!

A good mascara, but nothing special, the results are exactly the same or maybe less than a L'oreal mascara.

I was not a fan of this mascara. First off, it is difficult to get the brush out of the bottle. They probably did this to minimize gunking on the bristles but I almost feel like I am going to yank the whole thing off. And then, once applied, the results are still spidery, with lashes over-coated and sticking together. Finally, this all smudges terribly. Luckily this was a sample tube because I only used it once.

I'm the type of girl who likes to go big or go home...while still looking somewhat natural. I have pretty long lashes naturally but not very voluminous. I've tried plenty of mascaras and I've been impressed with very few. I was hooked after trying this mascara for the first time. It lengthens and volumizes perfectly. And it's pretty buildable, which is awesome. Ever since I started using this mascara I have gotten SO many compliments from friends, family, even total strangers.
Not to mention it doesn't flake off like other mascaras. Every time I've found a mascara that I love when I first put it on, usually by the end of the day i have little flakes around my eyes...not cute. With this, I don't have to worry about flaking, it stays put til I take it off. Also, I don't really have to reapply throughout the day to keep my lashes from looking limp. If I'm going out and don't have time to redo my whole face, I'll usually just swipe on one more coat and I'm good to go!
I can't remember the exact price, but I know it was somewhere around $25. Some may think that's a little pricey, but I say it is totally worth it!

Didn't like this one. It just make my lashes thicker but also spidery and I don't like that at all. If that wasn't the case I'd be in love with it but I'm not so wouldn't buy it again.

I am very particular about mascara for my long stubborn lashes. As a rule of thumb, it must be able to hold my curls. This mascara is exceptionally good in holding on my curls when I tried it out at the counter, lashes lusciously combed and fanned out, I was in awe.
Until.....it started smudging on me, big time! Initially, I thought it was the hot and humid weather here. So I tried to apply my mascara only after I reach my office. However, the smudging still did not cease even in the cold dry environment.
Am sorely disappointed with it. The last straw was when I applied it 10min before my presentation and found myself with raccoon eyes an hour later. Not a pretty sight at all.
Have only used this on at most 10 occasions and into the bin it went. Will not repurchase...

This is a very nice mascara - gives my thin lashes a ton of volume and *oomph*, very sexy. I have this in smokey black (smokey noir). The lash applicator took a while to get used to - it doens't really have those fuller conventional bristle applicators. Gives the lashes a thick, rich looking coat and holds the curl perfectly. One thing that bugs me is the smell - i can't really describe it but it smells very chemically. Price is steep but overall worth it i think!

I was really enthusiastic about this at first because of the Noirs Obscurs collection and so I bought this at Saks, $30. It went on a little trickily- I have some difficulty with comb applicators at first but luckily the brush here lets you clean up really easily- but I liked the inky black color. Unfortunately after a few hours (in which I never touched my eyes, no rubbing, no tears, nothing) there was a black shadow under my bottom lashes. It had not only flaked on me, but also just rubbed off somehow. It was NOT pretty. This went back to Saks.

This is my favourite mascara at this present time. I used dior show, iconic, bag gal lash, intimitable and nothing has pleased me as much as the exceptionnel. There is a technique that I find I MUSt follow to get the perfect lashes, though it does take some time. Since it takes a while to dry, I put on a thin coat on my freshly curled lashes. Next I continue with my makeup regimine and in between will do another coat --twisting the wand both horizontally and vertically. when Im finished my makeup I will apply a last coat. Note that these are not thick coats at all. When I first applied the mascara, I applied it with a very thick coat and it straightened out my lashes.. when I went to curl them after the mascara, they started to clump together.
Im not sure how long this product lasts or if it dries out quickly (I havent noticed) but I would reccommend getting a sample before purchasing since it aint cheap. most makeup counters have them in stock for the holidays now, I got a sample to keep in my purse.

Okay. Let me say that I've purchased this twice, so I was willing to pay $35 for it a second time. And - since I haven't experimented with too many high-end mascaras yet - I would probably repurchase if I was dying to look amazing for a special occasion. Because let me tell you: I have fairly long, but very fine eyelashes that generally refuse to hold a curl, and this mascara seriously gives me incredible, runway-style, keeps a super curl ALL DAY LONG, volumized black lashes. For about the first two weeks. After that it slowly starts to look less amazing. As quite a few reviewers have noted here, it does dry out quickly. The first time I purchased it was *finished* after about 7 weeks. The second time around (current), I've added a bit of eye-makeup remover and cleaned off the brush when I've noticed it getting dry, and that has extended the life to approximately 12 weeks so far . . . but I have noticed a good bit of flaking the past couple of weeks. Even at this point it does still give me significantly more volume than the Maybelline Great Lash or MAC Zoom that I currently own - but I still don't think it's worth $35. Except for those first two weeks. Oooh-la-la! I'll be checking out Prestige / My Biggest Lashes and YSL Faux Cils next.

[1240] Flow Cytometric Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Is Low Yield in Samples without Atypical Morphology or Prior History of Hematologic Malignancy.
Angela MB Collie, Eric D Hsi. Cleveland Clinic, OH
Background: Flow cytometric analysis (FCA) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has utility in detecting central nervous system involvement by hematologic malignancies with greater sensitivity and specificity than cytology alone. Yet, often the CSF sample contains a limited number of viable cells. The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of positive samples that will allow triaging of these suboptimal samples.
Design: Cases of CSF submitted for flow cytometry at our institution between 2007 and 2009 were identified. Retrospective review examined FCA diagnosis, cell concentration, lymphocyte percentage, blast percentage, antibody panel, and morphologic features. The electronic medical record was used to determine clinical features, cytopathologic diagnosis, history of hematologic malignancy, and future diagnosis of hematologic malignancy.
Results: 502 cases were examined involving 423 patients. Each case was classified into one of four diagnostic categories: positive, equivocal, negative and inadequate. A positive diagnosis of a lymphoproliferative disorder was made in 42 cases (8.4%), and a positive diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma was made in 2 cases (0.4%). The most common hematologic malignancies were B cell lymphoma, precursor B cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia. The positive cases showed atypical morphology, either blasts or atypical lymphocytes, in 98% of cases (41/42) in Wright stained slides screened by hematopathologists prior to FCA. There was also a history of a hematologic malignancy in 83% of positive cases (35/42). Cytopathology review was also positive in 88% of positive cases (22/25). 16 cases (3.2%) were classified as equivocal. 7 equivocal cases were diagnosed as a possible B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder due to low cell number; these 7 patients were later diagnosed clinically with CSF hematologic malignancies. 6 equivocal cases lacked B cell surface immunoglobulin; none of these patients had a future hematologic malignancy. 407 cases (81.2%) were negative. 28 negative cases had atypical morphology. Overall, the negative cases had significantly less cells compared to positive cases (p<0.05). 34 cases (6.8%) were classified as inadequate for diagnosis due to limited CD45 positive cells.
Conclusions: Flow cytometric analysis of CSF can be useful in the diagnosis of hematologic malignancies. This data supports a policy in which FCA of CSF is actively discouraged unless atypical cells/blasts are seen on Wright stained slides or a history of prior hematologic malignancy is present.

Hi all,
Ok, DH discussed the location of the recessed lights in the kitchen for 2+ hours (!) last night - but didn't make a decision. Not sure why we didn't hve our KD help out with this - but now it's a bit late since the electrician is coming today... Here is some background on the kitchen:
We will have 2 mini pendants (50 watt each) over the island; under counter (fluorescnt) lights; and 2 puck lights under higher cabinet above sink. The recessed lights are 4" fluorescent/CFLs(we are required to use fluorescent here). So here are the options that we have come up with. I would love any feedback you have. Which one do you think will be better? Or maybe you have a suggestion to make it better? OPTION 1: 7 cans, 3 placed over the edge of the counter top, others scattered for general lighting. Seems like a lot of lights for the size of the kitchen, but maybe we need this many (??) OPTION 2: 5 cans placed more in walkway between counter and island. Without having lights right above the edge of the counter, I'm not sure if the uncabinet lights - even if placed in the front part of the cabinet - will give enough or the right kind of light. Is 5 4" cans enough? Maybe you have an OPTION 3 for me? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer :) Thanks you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're willing to consider using LED lights, the cost may not be prohibitive. eg - LR 6 current pricing is ~ 80. Price of the can ~ 15. (title 24) Built in CFL can ~60 |
I would keep the light over the sink and perhaps make the light can pattern more regular - not scattered. I would not use less than 6 lights. 7 would probably be better. |
- Posted by remodel-mama (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 20:07
Thanks davidtay - As far as I understand we cannot switch out the fluorescents for LEDs. We were told that Title 24 is not up to date with the technology and that fluorescents are still required in the kitchen... Did I miss something? |
That is not true. The LR6 and CR6 CREEs are title 24 compliant. In reality both the CREE Lights are more efficient than the standard spiral CFLs (~50 - 55 lumens per watt). Most people use T8 fluorescent tubes just for the sake of title 24 compliance and cost. |
From the rule book Lighting in Kitchens. A minimum of 50 percent of the total rated wattage of permanently installed lighting in kitchens shall be high efficacy. EXCEPTION to Section 150(k)8: Up to 50 watts for dwelling units less than or equal to 2,500 ft2 or 100 watts for dwelling units larger than 2,500 ft2 may be exempt from the 50 percent high efficacy requirement when the following conditions are met: A. All low efficacy luminaires in the kitchen are controlled by a manual-on occupant sensor, dimmer, energy management control system (EMCS), or a multi-scene programmable control system; and B. All permanently installed luminaires in garages, laundry rooms, closets greater than 70 square feet, and utility rooms are high efficacy and are controlled by a manual-on occupant sensor. NOTE: For the purpose of this requirement, kitchen lighting includes all permanently installed lighting in the kitchen except for lighting that is internal to cabinets for the purpose of illuminating only the inside of the cabinets. Lighting in areas adjacent to the kitchen, including but not limited to dining and nook areas, are considered kitchen lighting if they are not separately switched from kitchen lighting. 9. Lighting internal to cabinets. Permanently installed lighting that is internal to cabinets shall use no more than 20 watts of power per linear foot of illuminated cabinet.
