Indonesia offers an exotic blend of culture and nature, showcasing the incredible diversity of this enigmatic archipelago. With the Caledonian Sky as our comfortable home base, we search for colorful birds in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, investigate the waters of Bunaken National Marine Park, a World Heritage Site, and step ashore on Komodo Island to view the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon. On Sulawesi, we explore the rich cultural heritage of the highlands of Toraja as we view unique boat-shaped architecture and cliff-side graves marked by life-sized effigies. Spectacular underwater wonders await snorkelers and divers off Sulawesi's coastal islands, including the Banggai Islands, whose waters harbor "the mother of all living reefs" according to Alfred Wallace, a contemporary of Darwin. We end our incredible journey with a magical tour of Bali—legendary for its verdant landscapes, beautiful temples, and vibrant art scene.

Day 5, February 28
Bunaken National Marine Park, Sulawesi / Siladeng Island
The phenomenal biodiversity of Bunaken has been protected as a national park since 1991 and its crystal-clear waters offer some of the best snorkeling and diving in Indonesia. We spend the morning here, exploring the reefs and drop-off walls adorned with myriad soft corals. Dense schools of blue-striped and yellow-tailed fusiliers are just one of the 100 species of fish we may spot here. After lunch, we visit Siladeng Island for additional snorkeling and diving opportunities.
Day 6, March 1
Lahaga Island / Tangkoko Nature Reserve / Bitung
We spend the morning snorkeling or swimming off the lovely beach of Lahaga Island. Return to the ship for lunch and continue to Tangkoko Nature Reserve, one of Indonesia's most important conservation areas. Its 21,000 acres are among the last habitats for crested black macaques and cuscus, a lemur-like, slow-moving possum. Or, tour Bitung and the private wildlife center to view tarsiers, the world's smallest primate. The reserve is also a haven for an incredible variety of birds, including the endemic Sulawesi hornbill, varied lorikeet, blue-breasted pita, and the finch-billed myna.
Days 7-8, March 2-3
Togean Islands
Explore the remote and picturesque Togeans, a 56-island archipelago surrounded by an ancient coral reef and the clear warm waters of Tomini Bay. Volcanic and covered in lush foliage, the islands harbor a variety of endangered wildlife, including Togean macaques, babirusa, and hanging parrots. Their beaches are the breeding grounds of hawksbill turtles and the rare dugong, and diving and snorkeling forays reveal spectacular corals teeming with colorful fish. Several ethnic groups reside in 37 villages throughout the Togeans and during our visit we will meet the delightful locals and enjoy guided walks to search for the amazing birds and wildlife that reside here.
Day 9, March 4
Banggai Islands
Just below the arm of Central Sulawesi, at the convergence of the Banda and Maluku Seas, sit the 120 Banggai Islands whose waters harbor "the mother of all living coral reefs" according to Alfred Wallace, a contemporary of Darwin. An astounding variety of marine life inhabits the walls, caves, overhangs, and shallow reefs of this archipelago and snorkelers and divers have several opportunities to witness such species as ribbon eels, blue-ring octopus, anglerfish, and the endemic Banggai cardinal fish.
Day 10, March 5
Kokoila Island / Lunasualu Island
Colorful reefs and atolls offer further underwater landscapes to explore today. If the opportunity presents itself, we may go ashore to visit a local village.
Day 11, March 6
Buton Island
Dangling off the southeast coast of Sulawesi, Buton is part of the Wakatobi Island group. Our snorkel or dive excursions today reveal an incredible array of marine reef inhabitants, and underwater photographers will appreciate a bizarre macro world among corals as shallow as 20 feet. Highlights include colorful frogfish, octopus, marbled snake eels, cockatoo waspfish, flying gurnards, multitudes of crab species, and dazzling anemones.
Days 12-13, March 7-8
Palopo / Toraja, Sulawesi Island
An overnight excursion brings us 4,000 feet into the cool highlands of South Sulawesi to fascinating Toraja. Legends say that the early Toraja came from the north, possibly Indochina, and were blown off-course by a storm. Their boat-shaped houses reflect this seafaring legacy, with a soaring "prow" that slopes skyward. The Toraja bury their dead in graves chiseled into vertical cliffsides, in keeping with the belief that ancestors repose halfway between heaven and earth. Beside these honeycombed graves, gazing out over the valleys, are life-like wooden effigies, providing a receptacle for their souls to guard the gravesites. We walk through several villages and investigate the gravesites, markets, and ornate rice barns of the region. Meals and overnight are at our hotel in the highlands. The following day, we tour more traditional villages and return to Palopo to board the Caledonian Sky in the evening.
Day 14, March 9
Selayar Island
Beautiful warm waters encircle Selayar Island, where we spend the afternoon snorkeling or diving over kaleidoscopic reefs, home to angelfish, fairy basslets, and butterflyfish among hundreds of other species.
Day 15, March 10
Komodo Island
Komodo National Park is a sanctuary for the fabled giant monitor lizard, the Komodo dragon. We walk along a forested pathway to a viewing area for a close inspection of these prehistoric reptiles that grow up to 10 feet in length and weigh up to 300 pounds. The surrounding forest is home to Javan rusa deer, the favorite prey of the dragons, as well as elegant yellow-crested cockatoos. In the afternoon, enjoy snorkeling or diving off splendid Pink Beach, often described as "swimming in an aquarium."
Day 16, March 11
Satonda Island / Sumbawa Island
This morning we stop at deserted Satonda, a small circular island that is the cone of an ancient volcano. Snorkel or dive over enchanting reefs that boast more than 64 species of coral, or ascend the ridge to view the island's interior sacred lake. We enjoy lunch on board as the ship cruises to Sumbawa Island.
Soaring above the landscape on Sumbawa's north coast is the massive Tambora Volcano, whose 1815 eruption was the largest in recorded history. Zodiacs take us ashore to the small village of Kenanga, home to about 500 traditional Muslim fishermen and their families, where we are greeted with drumming, dancing, and a pole-climbing competition.
Day 17, March 12
Benoa, Bali / Ubud
For centuries, Bali has captivated the imagination of artists, writers, and travelers with its landscapes of emerald terraced rice fields backdropped by the sacred volcano of Mt. Batur. We disembark in the port of Benoa and drive to Ubud, surrounded by the sacred Monkey Forest, where a large artisan community displays their talents in painting, sculpture, silver-working, and batik. After lunch at a local restaurant, we enjoy time at leisure to stroll among the countless galleries, small museums, and artisans' workshops. Return to the ship for dinner and overnight.
Day 18, March 13
Bali / Depart
After a morning at leisure, transfer to the airport for homeward-bound flights.
Note: This cruise is not an exclusive Wilderness Travel departure. The itinerary, lecturers, and other arrangements are subject to change at the discretion of the ship operator.
Post-Cruise Extension: Jewels of Java
Join an optional excursion to Java, famous for its magnificent monuments, rich cultures, and artistic endeavors.
Day 1, March 13
Disembark / Yogyakarta, Java
Enjoy a morning at leisure and lunch onboard. Disembark and transfer to the airport for our early afternoon flight to Yogyakarta. Check in to the Phoenix Heritage Hotel for dinner and overnight.
Day 2, March 14
Today we'll visit the architectural gems near Yogyakarta. Built in the 10th century and surrounded by emerald fields, Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple complex in Java. Observe vibrant scenes of the Ramayana epic carved into the gallery encircling the temple. After lunch at a local restaurant, visit Ratu Boko Palace complex. Return to Yogayakarta for dinner, then attend a performance of the traditional Ramayana Ballet. Return to the hotel for overnight.
Day 3, March 15
Yogyakarta / Borobudur
This morning, visit the Sultan's palace, also known as the Kraton, founded in 1755 and located in the center of Yogyakarta. Tour the ornate reception halls as well as the large open-air pendopos, built for gamelan performances. The nearby Tamansari (also known as the Water Castle) was built by the prince in 1758 as a "place of pleasure" for the prince and his harem. A short drive brings you to Kota Gede, the center of Yogya's silver industry since 1930. Here you will visit both a batik factory and silversmith to observe these ancient arts. Enjoy free time to explore the narrow alleyways and browse the high-quality handicrafts. Continue to Borobudur for dinner and overnight at Plataran Borobudur.
Day 4, March 16
Rise early this morning to watch the sunrise over Borobudur Temple, the largest single Buddhist monument in the southern hemisphere. Built in the 9th century, the entire monument was conceived as a Buddhist vision of the cosmos in stone—starting in the everyday world and spiraling up to Nirvana. Return to the hotel for breakfast, then set out for the Mendut Temple complex, whose three central figures are often hailed as the supreme manifestations of Buddhist art. In Candirejo Village, board horse-drawn buggies to view traditional farms and plantations, mingle with the local people, and visit a local home for a gamelan lesson and performance. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Day 5, March 17
Borobudur / Yogyakarta / Jakarta
After breakfast, depart for Yogyakarta to catch our short flight to Jakarta. A 500-year-old history that includes Hindu kingdoms, Islamic sultanates, and 350 years as the center of the Dutch East India Company has created a labyrinth of vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. Check in to the Sheraton Bandara Jakarta in time for lunch, then join a city tour that includes the Indonesian National Monument and the impressive Istiqlal Mosque. Return to the hotel for a farewell dinner and overnight.
Day 6, March 18
Jakarta / USA
Board your independent homeward flight, arriving in the USA the same day.
Cost: $2,980 per person, double occupancy; $4,160 single occupancy.

Lavazza Blue Pininfarina LB1010 Cappuccino Machine
For me, espresso is all about the crema, the tan swirly head sitting on top. I've always had great results with Lavazza, and now with its new, more affordable Lavazza Blue ($379; cafe-razzi.com), I can keep a machine on set. It keeps me going, and when the crew gets dreary, I start handing out espressos to them, too. Sweetie feels the Lavazza's coffee is too bitter, and she resents the plastic pods' effect on the environment, but I love the espresso this machine makes.

A little about me: mid-late twenties, asian, acne-prone, combo/oily skin. My skin can be sensitive to products and seasonal changes, but is typically oily year-round.
I bought this because I was getting fed up with my oily skin - my face makeup would simply not last the day (I work 12+ hrs a day running around a hospital ER) and I get super oily. I tried other "mattifying" lotions or primers or serums you apply over face lotion, I've tried using masks or special cleansers... nothing really works for me for more than a week, or it breaks me out. I happened to have a sample of this (that I forgot about) from Sephora a while ago, so I decided to try it out, and I liked it enough to buy the full size.
It is an off-white lotion that somewhat has the texture of thinner Elmer's glue. I know it doesn't sound appealing that way, but it does. It sinks in easily for my skin (I use 1.5 pumps) and it provides enough moisture for my face without making it oily or "dewy". It doesn't feel sticky or runny, or silicone based. It simply disappears on the face once it's applied, which I appreciate. I usually let it sit for another minute or two though, while I brush my teeth just so it completely sinks in.
It smells very "marine"-like. Kind of like a cologne. I guess that's the algae in it. But it does have a smell. It goes away though, so I'm ignoring that.
This is what really matters, isn't it? SO; I wear this daily underneath whatever makeup I happen to be wearing (CG Outlast foundation, Garnier Oil-controlling BB Cream, Everyday Minerals loose mineral foundation, etc) and it plays well with everyone. If I'm going out and want to look especially flawless, I will use a primer on top of the lotion (NYX HD Studio Photogenic primer), but normally I don't use one. It helps my face stay matte or satin-matte for at least 4 hours (That's saying a lot!), sometimes even up to 6 or 7 hours, if I'm not too crazy during the day. I do wear setting powder on top of my foundation (Maybelline Dream Matte) but I always do, so the powder has nothing to do with it.
When I'm not working or going out, sometimes I'll just wear the lotion with pressed powder and blush and I don't have to worry about my face pretty much all day.
No breakouts, no weird rashes, and it doesn't dry out my skin. It's pretty good for living up to its word.
I like the pump packaging and the simple, minimalist white packaging.
There will always be at least a few drawbacks for any product, I'm sure:
- No SPF. I normally have SPF in my foundations, so I don't care too much, but I have to take extra care to throw on extra SPF if I intend to be outdoors
- The container is not see through so I can't see how much I have left
Overall, I really do like this product. It's Expensive at $44 + 13% taxes in Ontario, Canada, but what can you do? I also use this with the Fresh Umbrian Clay Face Treatment bar, which I think is also amazing. Try it, at least a sample size - it's so hard to find a good lotion for us oily girls!

I use this product as a treatment every three days and my porse have never looked so clear! The best for me is that I only have to leave it one for 2 or 3 minutes! Its quick and easy and ready to go! Now that I am in a routine with this product breakouts are slim to none (I have a hormonal break out on occassion)! I feel so clean and freshed with this product! No excess oil left on my skin but I'm not dried out either!

I think this gets a bad rap - I asked the CS reps and they said it was recalled because that particular batch was bad. I started using it when they put it back on their shelves, and nothing has done better for my skin. I put it on before my primer, and it has calmed my easily irritated break-out prone skin... smells delicious to boot! It's expensive but worth it - my skin has never looked better, and it melts right on.

I'm glad they recalled this. It stunk to high heaven; I had to hold my breath whenever I put it on, and it didn't do anything overly miraculous. But now I'm stuck with a stinky face cream that I can't find the receipt for, so probably I'm out the money it cost.
Thanks to the previous for letting me know it got recalled; I never would have found out otherwise.

By MADELYN FAIRBANKS Published Dec. 25, 2013
City Council votes on school impact fee ordinance Dec. 26 MONROE - The City Council is being asked to meet the day after Christmas to vote on school impact fees. If the school impact fee ordinance passes, the Monroe School District will lose an additional 25 percent of the fees charged to developers. The ordinance on the table would keep the discount at 25 percent for one more year, effective through Dec. 31, 2014. The discount would go up to 50 percent on Jan. 1, 2015. The year delay is to give the school district time to figure out how to find money somewhere else to accommodate short-term growth, according to the city. The issue has been waiting on the docket since last year when the City Council decided to table the discussion. At nearly every meeting where the issue was brought up, several members of the community came to debate the topic, most on the side in favor of leaving the discount alone. At the Dec. 10 council meeting, the council voted on the first reading of the ordinance. The vote was tied 3-3 with Councilwoman Patsy Cudaback and Councilmen Jim Kamp and Kevin Hanford voting against the ordinance. Councilmen Kurt Goering, Tom Williams and Jason Gamble voted in favor of the ordinance. At the Dec. 10 meeting, Monroe School District assistant superintendent John Mannix addressed the council. One of the council's favorite topics is new development, and he framed his argument along those lines. "Over 200 single family homes are slated for construction in the vicinity of Chain Lake Elementary School, and we know that there will be students showing up there in the near future," Mannix said. The school district uses a "student generation rate," which allows it to anticipate the number of new students from new housing development. There will be approximately .615 students coming from each single family home, which means that 125 students will come from those 200 homes. "We'll need about five classrooms to house those 125 students, which will cost $545,727," Mannix said. "The mitigation fees at the current 25 percent will cover it, but the 50 percent would not. The 50 percent would give us around $396,000." "The bottom line is that we will not be able to house those students unless we take monies from some other source," Mannix said. Williams said a lot of lip service had been given to the school district's point of view and that he made a point of seeking out the builders' point of view. "It's very difficult to vote against children, but that's not what is on the table right now, that's not what we're discussing tonight," Williams said. "I don't think it's our job as legislators to fully fund the school capital facilities projects." Cudaback disagrees. "This is bridge funding, it's not fully funding their needs," Cudaback said. "I don't think the time is right to lower the school impact fees right now." The council voted again on Dec. 17. This time the vote was 5-2 with Cudaback and Gamble voting against the ordinance. Kamp and Hanford switched their votes in favor of the ordinance. The final vote will be Dec. 26. Goering made the motion to double the discount both nights. "I'm not compelled that this is the terrible thing that it's made out to be," Goering said. School board member Nancy Truitt Pierce was disappointed with the vote. "I clearly dropped the ball in explaining it clearly," Truitt Pierce said. "I didn't make it clear that the mitigation fees are one of our only sources of adjustments to short-term growth. When you build houses, kids come to school and we need to be ready for them."

Infiniti FX35 / FX50 Lease Questions

ceroro Posts: 2
suv800 Posts: 40Hi mlad11
I think you should and every should bring a voice recoder or a cell phone with voice recoder with you so this way to tape down your conversation. I know car dealers play number games very well.
Here's what I did, and I think I made a good move. I brought a voice recorder.
I typed down the details what I am going to get includes options, and lease length like months, printed it out.
handed it to the dealer's sales rep. let me keep it and making sure he's not losing it. then start negatiating the monthly lease payment. so this way when you call back he doesn't ask you what you want.
Because dealers keep changing from 15k to 12k then charging you some extras.
Also make sure when the dealer writes on a quote:
1. Approval upon credit tier 0 to 2. (not just 0)
2. Monthly payment (this is the payment you will cut a check each month)
3. Your out the door payment.
Check the dealer's new inventory daily so this way you know how many fx35 the sale a day. get the vin number from the sales rep and print it out from their website.
So far I'm driving it for a week. Pretty good and smooth. I have not press a lot of accl yet because it's too new and need some break-ins.
Hope this will help you all.
Again, bring a voice recorder with you when you shop around.
Don't let the games fool you, you fool the games. -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi dwongswong. Last month Infiniti was offering $4,000 loyalty cash on purchases of the '09 FX35 and $2,000 on leases. I have not seen this program for October yet, but if the $4,000 is the only loyalty cash available...I suspect that it is compatible with Infiniti Financial Services' special lease program.

kshankar Posts: 122According to the dealer near me (infiniti of gwinnett,near Atlanta), they still have the owner loyalty and lease specials. They have 09 FX 35s for $449 a month for 42 months with $1995 down. These are the base versions,(no nav or premium package). Doesnt seem too bad, I dont think. dont know the residuals though.

asd302 Posts: 20I was wondering if you could be so kind as to provide the MF and RES% for a 2009 FX50 loaded with everything. If you could also provide any money that Infiniti is providing towards leases I would appreciate it.
This will be the 3rd Infiniti that you have helped me with and you info has been abosolutely invaluable to me in the past!! Thanks!
Looking for 2 to 4yr, 15k/yr -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi dmcm. Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 FX35 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00228 and 53%, respectively. Most of Infiniti's incentives are currently scheduled to run through the end of the year, I suppose that it is possible that Infiniti might enhance this program in December, but more likely than not it won't.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I'd be happy to help you out, asd302. Wow, the 3rd one, huh? :surprise: You're making me feel old . Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 FX50 with 15,000 miles per year are .00223 and 50%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are .00213 and 42%. Infiniti is no longer providing support on 24 month leases, so you probably don't want to lease for that term.
Infiniti is currently providing $2,000 owner loyalty cash on leases of this truck.

bambamfx35 Posts: 1
jayrandall Posts: 81LOL - I think you heard wrong or you heard for the calendar year 2006.
The going rate for a 2009 FX35 is 5.4% APR. In the last week, I have been to two dealerships in the Chicago area and they both offered the same. My credit is over 720 but 5.5% is the best offer on a lease. This is not a good rate for a lease but we can blame the economic conditions. Banks aren't looking to offer much, etc....
The only 0.0% APR's that I have seen offered are for the EX or some G models. -
girlhoo Posts: 4I would like to know if this is a good deal or not. I am concerned that the money rate is too high but I was told this was the best rate that Infiniti would give on a new 2008 FX35. He rated me on a Tier 1 without running my credit. I have excellent credit.
2008 FX35 with Sports Package, Hands free package, Touring Package, Roof Rail Cross Bars, and Ipod Interface
Is this really the best money factor you can get? THe price seems good but I am concerned about the money rate and I would like to confirm that 500.00 loyalty cash on an '08 lease, is this the best that they can do?
Scarlett -
jayrandall Posts: 81That is a TERRIBLE money factor. It equals an APR of 7.8% I would laugh in their face and go to another dealer.
If you are doing a lease, the best you will find right now through Infiniti appears to be 5.4% or a money factor of 0.00225.
Even if you are buying this car, with good credit you should find an APR more in the range of 4.5% - 6%.
And last, the customer loyalty discount is $2,000 for leases and 4k on a purchase not $500. -
girlhoo Posts: 4Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I did want to confirm this because I am looking to purchase a 2008 FX35 not the 2009. What I am being told is the money factor is different from a 2009 FX35 Lease and also the customer loyalty discount on the 2008 is $500.00 not $2000
Is this true?
Scarlett -
jayrandall Posts: 81Got it. That sounds correct. The 2008 models will have different money factors but the APR's should be better then the 2009 models. And just take a look at the promotions on the Infiniti web site for the FX35 2008 edition. 0.0% APR is listed everywhere. I don't know about buying an 2008 FX through Infiniti, though, or what the going money factor would be for a purchase.
kshankar Posts: 122I believe you can easily get 10K off MSRP off FX35 and 12K-13K off MSRP of an FX45. Your price then should be $33620 and then take $500 off for loyalty for a price of $33120.
I am not sure about the leases but for purchases on the Infiniti website, you can get 0% apr for 24 and 36 months and .90% for 48,60, and 72 months.
Your money factor is .00325 X 2400= interest rate which in this case is 7.8% as some else already mentioned. Too high.
It might be cheaper if you want to purchase if you plan on keeping the car for a while.
Which dealership is this and how many 2008 FX 35s do they have in stock? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey Kris. I checked the Infiniti web site too, but alas there is no dealer inventory search function. I would probably be able to find out how many total FXs Infiniti has in the country, publications like Automotive News publish this data for the general public, but again this data is not broken down by model year so it probably will not help you.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
kshankar Posts: 122Carman,
I tried cars.com and it came up with 21 new FX45s in the country. I just do not know how accurate that may be. If you can find info on Automotive News, that would be great. For model year it should be simple, since its only FX45s which are no longer being produced. I would think all unsold 2008s would show up unless there are a few unsold 2007 ones as well.
env32 Posts: 7Hi All,
I'm coming off a pervious FX 35 lease. I test drove the new FX35 2009 this weekend and have started contacting dealers to get the best price.
I'm a bit confused, as the pricing has gone WAY up from my last lease.
Can you all give me the bottom line on a great lease price for an AWD FX35 with 15K miles? I can be flexible on the length of the lease. They are saying that the 39 month lease is being offered now.
The first offer I got...seemed HIGH.
$2k in owner appreciation
car price...$41,897
.0024 and 53%
$3,500 down and $577.15
39 months.
This seems really high to me. Can I get some help on what you all think is a GOOD deal for this vehicle? -
jayrandall Posts: 81
kshankar Posts: 122What is the MSRP of the FX you are interested in? There is a post probably a few pages up in which one person got an 09 FX for $300 above invoice, savings of over 4K off msrp. Does the FX have technology, premium package, etc.
Click on this link
and then click on "new 09 FX35". This will give you an idea how much are payments. This is a base FX35. Other dealers should be able to match.

What is the best deck sealer I can buy from either Lowes, Home Depot, or Sherwin Williams? A lot of the sealers I see recommended are not available locally and have to be ordered. I only need 2 gallons so the shipping costs make it not worth ordering online, so I need something I can get locally. I thought about the Cabots Australian Timber Oil but it appears their formula changed recently due to EPA standards and being bought out. Any suggestions? |

I like Sikkens brand and it should [probably be available in a BM dealer. |
I recently discovered a local paint store starting carrying ReadySeal 2 months ago. This seems to get good reviews and recommended on this forum as well. I'll follow up on how it works. They also carried Sikkens. Finally found a place that stocks brands no where else did. |
The Consumer's Report magazine that I received today has rated the deck sealers. Home Depot's Behr's sealer was number one for one kind of sealer. That is what I plan to use. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 19:09
Consumer Reports is not an unbiased source. I would not use anything Behr even for free on a dog house. |
Consumer Reports gets their information from surveys with their customers who take the magazine. I have filled out many surveys from them. I have used their reviews on many things and have been very happy with my purchases. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Sat, May 4, 13 at 8:48
Ok, then use the Behr products and please report back what it looks like in a year. Consumer Reports is a farce in my and many other peoples opinions but...... |
I read this post looking for a great deck stain myself. We own our house for 5 years and the deck has previously been stained with Behr products so we continued to use the same brand and color. However, the stain we use (Behr Premium transparent stain) is very disappointing. It has to be reapplied every year even though it should last for 4 years and I do not want to do this work anymore. Last year we wanted to "upgrade" to their semi-transparent stain for longer lasting coverage (6 years as per description) but the color is very different from the transparent (both redwood - the transparent dark red, the semi-transparent bright orange!). I do not want to work on the deck stain every year, so I am looking for a longer lasting stain or paint, too. Would applying polyurethane make sense? |
In our last house my husband used a stain/sealer that he had used on a teak deck for a sailboat. It worked great and lasted a few years. I wish I knew what it was. My husband has passed away so I can't ask him. It was expensive but worth it. You might look in a marine store and see if they have any ideas. |

OK, these two might be my biggest, most frequent celebrity mix-up. They don't even look thaaaaat much alike, but for some reason I cannot keep them straight. I know they are both very lovely, have reddish-brown hair, and act and sing. Up until writing this post, I didn't even know that BOTH of them were in the "Twilight" movies, which is just making me even more confused.
From following Anna on Twitter, I know she's fucking hilarious, which is slightly helpful, but if Nikki is also funny (don't tell me if she is!) I will truly be lost.

The new admittance procedures during EMHs are as follows:
Step One-In the courtyard area before you go through the tap to enter the park area CMs with hand held readers will verify with your Magic Band or RFID card that they are current and you are indeed a guest at a Disney Resort.
Step Two-Tap to enter park (same)
Each and every attraction during EMH's you need to Tap to Enter the queue
So a triple check to make sure guests are resort guests within the parks during EMHs.
Some people are like Slinkies.
They aren't really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.
Friends are Gods way of apologizing to us for our families.

I have never doubted that Obamanation is NOT on Americas side! I can certainly support Santorum over Obama easily!
Advertisement-content continues below
Are you Kidding me? You question this? Wake up Rick, he's not even an American, and has paid off judges even to get away with all his crap! I can't stand to even look at his smug smirk always on his face. I just want to punch his lights out and throw him in the Stockade. Just like Redley said above, "If you don't know the answer to your own question, sit down and let Newt take over." At least he understands the scale of this problem here. Use some of your authority buddy, grab a military attachment, march into the White House and cuff the bastard! For crap sake, what's so damned hard to figure out about that? Hell, I'll do it for you , I'm not afraid of him, I'm pissed off at him, and you guys too if you can't do the job. Get it done!!
All, don't go getting your panties all tied up in knots now. It's not even a question really. It's call reading between the lines. And you know as well as i do he can't speak the truth. So wording it like he did gets peoples attention.
Yeah well if you guys would jump in here and start spouting off on these sites maybe sooner or later they'll listen. Probably not, too many of you are complacent about the bullshit Obama has been feeding to America. I'm sick of it and I'll get panties in a bunch if it will get somebody to stand up and do their damn job, arrest that asshole. I'm surprised there isn't more die hard Patriots shouting from their rooftops for something to be done. I've had it, these sites do nothing but give us a place to sound off from. I want to stand in the rotunda in the capitol and scream for somebody, anybody with some kind of authority to get off their fat ass and earn their pay for once, arrest the illegal bastard!! He breaks the law on a daily basis and everyone just says , " Oh well", what the hell is that??? Get up, do your job, or get out! Congress, you suck, House, you suck too!! Politicians everywhere, you suck also!!
Do your damn job, did you hear that this time? Does it sound like I'm a little pissed? You bet your ass I am, Rick, Newt, Mitt, Sarah, Ron, one of you guys grow a pair and go arrest that guy! He broke the law again, spit on the Constitution, spit in our faces, trampled on our history, what are you waiting for, a engraved invitation? You already got that when you got elected, now do your job!!!
Yes I am absolutely on board with this idea. This is one of the reasons I am so upset at all that's been happening. I've signed up for this when the "Impeah Obama" website first posted almost 4 years ago now. I'm really not mad at any of you guys here, I just needed to sound off. It was starting to feel like I was fighting alone. I have gotten personal email replies from Newt and the staff, I've been with him since the first time I heard he wanted to run. It was like a wave of intelligence had come over us. I think if Sarah was to throw her hat in the ring again but this time with Newt instead of McCain they'd win. I sent emails to Santorum asking him to get on board with Newt, also to Ron Paul. We need to stand together to make this work. If the GOP was to do the same thing, get behind Newt there would be no doubt. The one thing I'd pay to go see is Newt debate Obama. Can you imagine how entertaining that would be? None of the rest of them could do the job Newt could, not taking away from the others, it's just he could demolish Obama. And that has to be done, we can not lose this. It is so vitally important to get him out , not matter what . I've been hearing that the Dems are getting upset with him also. I don't want them upset, I want them pissed! Now he's pushing the racial thing again by stating the "African Americans for Obama" deal. He's ruining 50 years of their hard work for equality, I just want to smack him and put the cuffs on him. Sorry if I offended any of you guys here, I didn't want to do that, I was just trying to light a fire under everybody. God Bless you all and God Bless America!!
Sorry that last comment is for rustytruck.
Believe it or not it's just not that simple. If things aren't done right no action will come against any of them. And FYI Mr. Gingrich is speaking out about what has to be done that's all he's been trying to concentrate on doing all through his campaign but he keeps getting interrupted by people like romney and our own party. And before you say anything. Before Mr. Gingrich started his campaign he apologized and asked for forgiveness and we gave it to him but it got over shadowed by romney and our own party BS. So vote for Newt so we can get our country back.
I am voting for Newt, and I hope he asks Sarah to join him on the ballot. I think they would unbeatable, can you imagine the look on Obama's face knowing he has to face them in any debate? Newt would take him apart, and Sarah could beat the crap out of him , literally! I mean literally, physically pound him, Hah!

I am the Chief Executive Officer of Ogilvy & Mather in Germany, and I have been with Ogilvy since February 2005.
Germany is Europe's economic powerhouse and, as such, has a very strong culture of owner-run advertising businesses. Ogilvy, as the most local of the international and the most international of the local agencies, is ranked best Network Agency in all relevant creative, digital and effectiveness, as well as client satisfaction, league tables. We service Germany's biggest ad spender(Media Markt) and probably it's smallest (Schoeffel).
In times where teamwork is a sanctum, we tend to underrate the necessity of individual genius. It is the very special talent of creative and strategic genius that often makes the difference. And making a difference is what communication is all about. The "geniuses" are hard to find and even harder to keep and to put up with. But this is what we do.
My career highlight was meeting Herta Ogilvy. She made me understand David Ogilvy in depth. And our reason for being is David. He defined our creative ambition and our culture, which is different to any other agency business.
My Favorite David Ogilvy quote is, "Raise your sights! Blaze new trails!! Compete with the immortals!!!"

What is This?!?!
Got a question for you to start off Monday- What is this?!?!
How to Help Boston
It's only human nature to want to help out victims of a disaster, but tragic events also bring scam artists out of the woodwork. In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, many folks have called the radio station to ask WHERE to give.
We had some local runners and spectators at the event....
Paul Horton of Knoxville said at the time of the explosions he was in his hotel room after finishing the race about 1.5 hours before the bombs went off.
No More Sharing?
You've heard it all before: Sharing is caring. We grew up with that philosophy but there are some "New age" moms who say NOPE! Kids don't need to learn to share. It's hurting them in the long run.
Pre-school daycares are instituting the rule that giving up a toy teaches another child to feel "entitled!"
So, making one child give up a toy, or share, makes the other child begin to feel and learn a sense of entitlement.
RIP Terry Morrow
News Sentinel entertainment writer Terry Morrow died Tuesday at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center from complications due to pancreatic cancer. He was 52.
Dine Out For Education
Nearly 40 Knoxville restaurants with 80 locations throughout Knox County will participate in the 10th annual Knox County Schools "Dine Out For Education" event today.
All participants have to do is eat at participating restaurants, and 10 percent of their pretax total will be donated to the Knox County Schools Partners in Education program.
Freebies on Tax Day!
The tax deadline is Monday, but there's a silver lining, a small silver lining.
Arby's restaurants that are participating are offering free curly fries and potato cakes. Also, go online and you could win a tax day prize of $500.
Cinnabon between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., participating Cinnabons, will give you two free Cinnabon bites.

Girl Lifts Tractor Off of Parent!
A man who was pinned by his overturned tractor and losing breath with each scream says he was saved by his two teenage daughters.
Jeff Smith of Lebanon, Ore., was trying to pull a stump out of his garden last Monday when his muddy boot slipped off the clutch. The tractor flipped, and the steering wheel pinned his chest to the ground.
GPS Use Could Lead To A Ticket
You'll want to pull over the next time your phone is guiding you to the closest Starbucks or In&Out Burger in California.
Changes to The National Spelling Bee
Ever wonder if those spelling bee kids know the meanings of some of those big words? Now they'll have to prove that they do.
Organizers of the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Tuesday announced a major change to the format, adding multiple-choice vocabulary tests to the annual competition that crowns the English language's spelling champ.

There are gaffes, and then there are Gaffes. And yesterday, John McCain made a Gaffe. Speaking with Katie Couric about Iraq on the CBS Evening News, McCain questioned the way Obama credited the Iraqis for some of the positive outcomes of the surge:
Katie Couric: Senator McCain, Senator Obama says, while the increased number of US troops contributed to increased security in Iraq, he also credits the Sunni awakening and the Shiite government going after militias. And says that there might have been improved security even without the surge. What's your response to that?
McCain: I don't know how you respond to something that is as—such a false depiction of what actually happened. Colonel MacFarland was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks. Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history.
Except—Gaffe!—no, that's not a matter of history. In fact, the Anbar Awakening predated the U.S. troop surge. The surge began in February 2007; the Awakening began in the summer of 2006. That's just a matter of history.
Here's Colin Kahl (h/t: Democracy Arsenal), writing in Foreign Affairs (emphasis ours):
The Awakening began in Anbar Province more than a year before the surge and took off in the summer and fall of 2006 in Ramadi and elsewhere, long before extra U.S. forces started flowing into Iraq in February and March of 2007. Throughout the war, enemy-of-my-enemy logic has driven Sunni decision-making. The Sunnis have seen three "occupiers" as threats: the United States, the Shiites (and their presumed Iranian patrons), and the foreigners and extremists in AQI. Crucial to the Awakening was the reordering of these threats.
And here's The New York Times, writing about the Anbar Awakening on March 3, 2007 (emphasis ours):
Sheik Abdul Sattar and the Anbar Salvation Council, the group of 25 tribes that the sheik said he had helped pull together to fight Al Qaeda, would be central to any such move by the Americans.
The sheik said he and his allies, who also call themselves the Anbar Awakening, had recruited 6,000 fighters from the tribes into the Anbar police, helped appoint a new provincial police chief and formed a 2,500-member "emergency brigade" answering to him.
A United States Army civil affairs officer in Ramadi, Capt. Travis L. Patriquin, said in an e-mail message shortly before he was killed by a roadside bomb in Ramadi in December that the tribal fighters in the Iraqi police constituted "the first successful, large force of men we've had since the start of the war."
And here's another Times piece about the Awakening, also published March 3, 2007 (emphasis, again, ours):
The formation of the group in September shocked many Sunni Arabs. It was the most public stand anyone in Anbar had taken against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, which was founded by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
And here's Kevin Drum, writing about the Awakening in The Washington Monthly in August 2007:
The Anbar Awakening is genuinely good news, but (a) it had nothing to do with the surge, (b) it's happening only in homogeneous Sunni areas, and (c) it involves arming and training Sunni forces who are almost certain to turn against both us and the Shiite central government as soon as they've finished off AQI. Pretending otherwise is simply fraudulent.
Anyway. You get the idea. Anbar Awakening™, Iraqi owned and operated since September 2006; Surge™, American owned and operated since February 2007. McCain had the events' timing—and thus his post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc reasoning about their relationship—backwards.
It was the proto-blogger Spencer Ackerman who, yesterday evening, first identified McCain's error. The Colonel MacFarland to whom McCain referred in the Couric interview "is now a one-star general, and his name is Sean MacFarland," Ackerman writes. "He was commander of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, based in Ramadi in 2006 and early 2007 and is a key figure in embracing the Anbar Awakening before it even had that name."

mouseover coding problems
I have been building my photography website using Yahoo sitebuilder...I realize this is probably extremely lame to those who are experts at web design but I know very, very little. I've been able to do everything I want to do so far except for how the photos are displayed. What I want are thumbnails where you mouseover and the larger picture pops up. I found some code that allows me to do that but I cannot integrate in properly to work with the existing code. See below link:
What I want is for the thumbnail picture in the white space at the bottom to be on top of the actual background image. It seems like this is just a matter of positioning it correctly on the page but I am stumped. Any help on this is greatly appreciated as it is the last thing holding me up. Thanks.

Hello tiafn2,
Maybe you can use this as an example to follow. View the source to see how it's done.
What you're trying to build is called a disjointed rollover. If you google that term there are a lot more examples out there.
I think SiteBuilder is not doing a very good job for you. If you run your code through the validator, see the links about validating in my sig below, you can see there are a few errors.
Also look at the link in my sig about DocTypes.
Validate often DURING development - Use it like a splelchecker | Debug during Development |Write it for FireFox, ignore IE
Use the right DocType | Validate your markup | Validate your CSS | Why validating is good | Why tables are bad

Stitched Kids' Art Note Cards : Daily source of DIY craft projects and inspiration, patterns, how-tos. By Future Craft Collective In our house the piles of random artwork are vast and ever present.
We all like to draw, paint, and sketch, and when one is drawing, painting, sketching, it encourages all others in the house to do the same. We love the process but don't always know what to do with the widespread piles of artwork that are the result. We use some for wrapping paper. We use others for writing letters to send to far-flung family and friends. Google Map Envelopes : Daily source of DIY craft projects and inspiration, patterns, how-tos. One of my goals in the new year has been to write more "snail mail" letters to friends.
As someone who spends the majority of my day in front of a computer, I really miss the tactile enjoyment of a mailed letter, and that excitement of finding something else in the mailbox besides bills and junk mail. I'll definitely be making some of these Google Map envelopes from designer Beste Miray Dogan to send to friends. Mapenvelop is a mailing envelope lined with an image from Google Maps. Not just any image, but a map of exactly where the letter originated. [via @SisterDiane] Vintage Cereal Collection. Mother's Day Cards. Origami paper wreath. Here is a fun way to make use of leftover paper, gift wrap scraps or this year's old calendar pages, while also getting into the holiday spirit – make an origami paper wreath!
With just a few folds it's really simple and fun. Surprisingly sturdy, these wreath decorations are lovely to hang on doors and windows, and miniature versions are great on top of gift packages or hung on the tree. Vintage Book Planner Tutorial. I desperately needed a day planner. With so much going on I can no longer keep it all straight in my head 'cuz something's always falling through the cracks. So on my way home from the morning school drive today, I went to the office supply store to shop for one.
Paper Flower Tutorial. I came across these incredible paper flowers and I just had to make them (then made like 100, I loved them so much) Now, I've created a tutorial to share the love!
Perfect adornments for gifts, cards and even wall art! Art project using these, here! Paper Lantern Ornaments. Want a cute, simple decoration that you can make in minutes?
These paper lanterns are perfect for the upcoming holiday season or as an everyday decoration! What a great way to add color to a room or to your holiday table :) Make a bunch and string them together as a garland, or put a bunch in a bowl, or in a hurricane glass in a bathroom or guestroom. You could also mail them (flat, before unfolding them ;)) to a friend as a fun "Merry Christmas" gift with quick instructions on how to unfold them. I decided to use holiday paper, but was thinking these would also be fun as everyday decorations with leftover scraps of scrapbooking paper or found/vintage paper.
What you'll need: - Paper - enough to cut 15 strips - ½"x4" (7.5"x4") - 2 small brads - Ruler, 1/16" hole punch or pushpin to poke holes, exacto blade or rotary cutter and a cutting mat. Paper doll dress bookmark. Petal-shaped gift boxes.

After reading previous posts, I still have a question: Does baking soda hurt the soil permanently or just temporarily? Will it help to apply a thin layer of compost after killing the dollar weed in the St Augustine lawn? What is the next step after that? A good organic fertilizer? Suggestions? I am killing the dollar weed in sections. I tried to pull it, but it is tightly woven into the grass and it is spreading everywhere.
Thanks!!! |

I have not tested putting pure baking soda in soil. I have mixed it with water to kill fungi and it does work. Also, I was told that BS are non-targeted meaning it will kill anything. So yeah, you might want to restore the good organisms you have killed by putting compost. Some people use ACT and have had good results. |

Shade Tolerance of Geranium Patricia
posted by: denise133 on 06.20.2013 at 09:54 pm in Geranium Forum Does anybody have some advice re the degree of shade tolerance of Patricia? Would it be similar to Rozanne?
Rozanne becomes leggy for me and then often disappears in areas with only a few hours of sun. Does great in sunnier spots though. I saw Patricia at a garden centre today and I would really like to find a spot for her in my mostly shady garden! Thank you in advance for any advice. NOTES: <none>

Do Floribundas require a lot of care?
posted by: ptwonline on 09.03.2013 at 02:46 pm in Roses Forum I'm still quite new to gardening and the only roses that I have had are the very low-care ones like Knockout and Flower Carpets. Only deadheaded them at my leisure instead of out of need, no spraying, little pruning needed so far and these things bloom like crazy.
The success in growing these has encouraged me to try new roses. For next year I was looking at some Rugosa hybrids to add more scent while staying low care, but the size and thorns make these poor options for my limited space especially by my front walkway. So now I am looking at Floribundas. Are these roses still relatively low-care? Do they require much (if any) spraying and deadheading? I don't mind small amounts of deadheading, but the thought of having to deadhead all these blooms at once is daunting! Any suggestions for Floribunda (or other low care) roses? I live in Toronto (my area is listed as 5b) but I'd prefer roses fully hardy to US zone 4 if possible. Looking for fragrance, good rebloom, and a size of 5x4 would be perfect, but anything close to that would be acceptable. Color doesn't matter so much right now, and I seem to like roses in pretty much every color I have seen. At least one true, deep red would be nice though. Thanks! Hopefully this is a start of a lifelong rose passion. NOTES: <none>

Have you used Ornamental Grasses successfully?
posted by: prairiemoon2 on 08.25.2013 at 06:44 am in Perennials Forum I love Ornamental Grasses but so far, I've only used Pennisetum 'Hamelin' successfully. I have been slow to try others. I anticipate the work of moving them to be more than I want to cope with, so I've wanted to be sure when I use them, I won't want to move them. (g)
So, I would love to see your garden using ornamental grasses! NOTES: <none>
