L1 Cordova Insulated Jacket - Men's
? Share a...

Buy it!!
Just got this jacket in blue. Everything about the jacket is awesome! Four pockets on the front, a media pocket inside with an extra deep pocket so if your zipper isn't all the way shipped, it's highly unlikely that your iPod or phone will slip out, nice material, no powder skirt (I never use em' so having less bulk around my hips and thighs is preferred) and it's slightly cinched in two areas of the bottom hem on the back, outer sides. Love the zipper on the left breast. It's perfect for chap stick, gum and a camera. Can't find a darn thing wrong with this jacket!

Pritzker Prize winning Renzo Piano has revealed his designs for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens, set to be a new icon for the ancient city. Housing the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera, both set within the Stavros Niarchos Park, the 187,800 sq m SNFCC is the first public-private endeavour of its kind with the Greek State.
Commenting on the significance of SNFCC, Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis stated that, "this Center is a milestone for our country. The design is truly astonishing. In a wonderful manner, it combines high aesthetics with functionality and consideration for the environment. I am certain that its impact will extend beyond our national boundaries."
In keeping with SNF's and RPBW's mission to create an emissions neutral facility, the project has been conceptualised with the highest standards of environmental sustainability. A pivotal design element that will play a significant role in helping achieve this aggressive standard can be seen in Piano and his Building Workshop's innovative roof– a series of interconnected photovoltaic cell panels which will cover the structure's needs, taking advantage of the pure "green" solar and wind energy. SNFCC is also expected to receive LEED certification.
"We were extremely honoured by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation's invitation to play a role in such a generous gift to Greece," noted Renzo Piano. "The Cultural Center's proximity to water, and the natural warm breezes and light of Athens were particularly inspiring during the design process. It was immediately clear that we must take advantage of all these elements to ultimately design a zero emissions building that expresses movement and energy."
SNFCC is expected to open in 2015 and its construction will be funded exclusively by SNF, an International philanthropic organisation concentrating on education, social welfare, health and medicine, and arts and culture prjects. The design will be realised with an approximate budget of 450 million Euros, pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding executed with the Greek State. Once completed, the project will be turned over to the Greek State.

"Folsom Prison Blues" gave Johnny Cash his first top-10 country hit in 1956, and his live concert performance at Folsom—dramatized memorably in the film Walk The Line—gave his flagging career a critical jump-start in 1968. But the prison with which Johnny Cash was most closely associated wasn't Folsom, it was San Quentin, a maximum-security penitentiary just outside of San Francisco. San Quentin is where Cash played his first-ever prison concert on January 1, 1958—a concert that helped set Merle Haggard, then a 20-year-old San Quentin inmate, on the path toward becoming a country music legend.
Haggard was a product of Bakersfield, California, a hard-bitten Central Valley town that was the final stop for tens of thousands of poor, white farmers and laborers who migrated west during the 1930s, 40s and 50s seeking work in the factories, farm fields and oilfields of California. These Oklahomans, Texans and others referred to by the blanket term "Okies" brought with them a love of country music, and not just any country music, but "Loud music that plays until all hours," as Wynn Stewart sang in his 1962 country hit "How the Other Half Lives." Merle Haggard would eventually become an architect of the hard-driving, no-frills Bakersfield Sound, which shook the Nashville establishment in the 1960s. But not before he ran afoul of the legal establishment in ways that most country singers only sing about.
Haggard did his first stint in jail at age 11, when his mother turned him over to the juvenile authorities as "incorrigible." As a teenager, Haggard went into jail at least three more times, and went out via escape at least once. In 1957, at the age of 18, Haggard was arrested on a burglary charge and sentenced to 15 years in San Quentin. He ended up serving only two years of that sentence, though, and he credits Cash with giving him the inspiration to launch a career after prison that included 38 #1 hits on the country charts, including "Sing Me Back Home," "Okie From Muskogee" and "Today I Started Loving You Again." Of Johnny Cash's prison debut, Haggard said this: "He had the right attitude. He chewed gum, looked arrogant and flipped the bird to the guards—he did everything the prisoners wanted to do. He was a mean mother from the South who was there because he loved us. When he walked away, everyone in that place had become a Johnny Cash fan."

Chicago-based United Airlines is changing the way it pays out mileage rewards. Read more at the Chicago Sun-Times Voices:
Travelers who fly the most and pay the most will soon earn more miles on United Airlines' frequent-flier program.
The change will help elite members of United's loyalty program — those who fly at least 25,000 miles a year on the airline. It will be far less-rewarding for people who currently rack up miles by taking occasional long flights at bargain fares.

The Package
The front of the box pretty much follows the same formula that we've seen over the past few months from ZOTAC. We see the brand at the top of the card with some NVIDIA logos and the model across the bottom.
The right of the box shows us the card is an AMP! Edition. We can also see some of the main features like 512MB of GDDR3 memory, Dual Dual-Link DVI, HDCP, HDMI adapter and more.
The back of the box mentions the brand and the fact that it's an AMP! Edition again. We also have a bit of a blurb on the 9600GT along with some more details of some of the features that the card has to offer.
Paperwork wise there isn't a whole lot; we have a quick installation guide along with a driver CD.
The cable department is a bit healthier though; we have the standard molex to PCI-E connector, DVI to VGA connector and component out cable. We also have a DVI to HDMI connector along with another cable that sits between your graphics card and soundcard or motherboard so that HDMI can be carried out through the HDMI convertor.
We continue to see the lack of any games bundled with the card, but ZOTAC continue to make the card stand out from the competition with big overclocks. We'll have a closer look at those shortly.

This contribution is from Tuesday 13: We spent New Year's Eve with two friends, Peter (a former classmate of mine) and his girlfriend Sonia. Peter was tall and muscular with justice. He worked in London, climbing the director of public services and multilingual Sonia worked as a secretary. She was nice enough, pordeo but I never believed, because it seemed a little pordeo stale. pordeo as usual, the night was very drunk. I can not remember who suggested to play or what, but we started strip poker sit around the pordeo table shortly after eating. It sounds corny now, but it's true - and when it was new and exciting experience that I had never tried before. Among our friends, often playing 5 Card Stud with moderate bets all knew the basics of poker. To use clothing as a bet, three cards are dealt to each player, in which the first face down and up another. The lower hand is pordeo initiated either by purchasing another card with a pordeo piece of clothing or foldse- cards. Then the next player to bet or folded, and it was. Folding costs the player a piece of clothing that had to be withdrawn immediately. When folded, the people who had no clothes I had bought tickets to delete. When both players had left, to show their hands. The loser had to wear two-piece and all that he had taken bets. We did not know if we develop the tasks, but this game was well developed by us naked in the shortest possible time. We played many times on later occasions and the result is always interesting ! A pair of shoes valued as a single item, like a pair of socks, stockings or socks. My memories of New Year's Eve 1975, is a bit fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to do it as a hand. The cards were dealt and Sonya began bending (boring ). She took off her shoes. I sat next and I bet to stay in. Romero pordeo an article done the same and so did Peter. We walked around and once againThe three ( Romero, Pedro and I) the bet of another article. This happened once, so that the three had bet three elements - and Sonia had just taken pordeo off his shoes. In the next round because I folded my hand was really bad. I had to change four things : shoes, socks, shirt and pants. I was in shorts on the left. This is only the left Peter and Rosemary game yet - so they had to show their hands. Peter won easily. That made it interesting ! My wife had to leave the three articles that you bet, plus two for loss, five in total. She got up, walked a few steps from the table and threw his shoes (1), swaying slightly in the time that music plays in the background. She held us, unbuttoned her blouse and left on the floor beside her (2). Even with her, she slowly opened again next to her skirt, pushed her down and left it (3). Now Romero has always had a fantastic ass, not too thick nor too thin and very well rounded. Her perfect asswas surrounded by a garter belt. He was also average, a pair of very strong pordeo and a matching bra brown. Clearly back to us, which seemed to act humble, but when she bent down to undo his braces make your stockings and roll (4) his lips were noted in the fine brown material. I suspected that she knew exactly the effect she was. She unbuttoned and removed the next league, so just bra and pants. When he turned around the room fell silent. Peter was practically salivating. Her bra was steep and a bit too small. Her tits rose 36D over the top and see her nipples through the material. I could see a small wet spot on panties development, but could have been a trick of light. 'Ta Da! " She laughed, " that the five. "" Oh no, no, "replied Peter," only four. Stockings and garters counted as one item otherwise, are men at a disadvantage. ""Right! "Sonia chuckled, shoes were removed so far. I weighed abou

I have a marathon water heater... currently the recirc pump feeds into the drain line (this is how plumber installed). Based on how a marathon is designed (and this return line configuration) it would seem to me that this "cooler" water will be pumped up from middle bottom of tank.. (how high it goes, I dont know).. on a conventional water heater, the "cooler" water would be pumped in sideways at the bottom and be more apt to stay at bottom.. Do you think that the "cooler" water being pumped upwards would cause the water heater to run more often therefore resulting in a higher electric bill? I'm thinking that perhaps I should reroute the return line to go into the cold inlet pipe instead... your thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only thing that results in a higher electric bill is the recirculation. Any water returned to tank regardless of how it enters blends with the rest due to the moving water. The cooled return water lowers tank temp resulting in the elements coming on. |

It is so sad to see such a great pavillion empty or unopened. I finally saw the MAking of me in '06 and I used to love Cranium Command.
I would love for this rumor to be true!
I've heard from a very reliable source that the Wonders of Life pavilion at Epcot has been given some new life. Supposedly, Disney is looking at possible sponsors for the pavilion. Apparently there are blueprints somewhere for the future of Wonders, but of course Disney is keeping hush hush about it. And as always, take this rumor with a grain of salt as this is not official word from Disney, but don't be surprised to see some major work being done in this location in the somewhat near future.

I thought they were going to or already have torn the pavillion down? Guess I was wrong. It would be great if they could save it. I loved Body Wars and I never saw Cranium Command.

I absolutely LOVE Cranium Command and would do anything to see it again. Having said that, I can't imagine that a new sponsor would want to save it or anything else in the pavilion. Everything there is too dated looking. I imagine they'd keep the concept, but redesign everything.
Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
If this is true, I hope a new sponsor would just update the look but keep the attractions. Cranium Command is a great show!
I agree - The pavillion has always been closed when we've been except for my first trip back in 1999.
"Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.I have never been able to confine that fun to office hours." ~ Walt Disney
I imagine the attractions could use some freshening up, but let's hope they aren't scrapped!
Disney needs to make a decision about that space. Either get a sponsor and get the attractions back online, or move on and put something else there. Wonders of Life takes up a pretty good amout of space in a prime spot. It's a waste to let it stay unproductive like this.
I guess we'll see what happens.

What I've heard, I think from WDWNewsToday, is that the pavillion itself is still standing (they use it for Flower & Garden and Food & Wine events), but all of the attractions have been gutted. Cranium Command, alas, is gone. I have also heard that Body Wars remains, and had been used as a test bed for rumored updates to Star Tours.
If my information is correct, then, I would expect that any kind of sponsorship would involve completely new stuff for the pavillion. But I sure would love to see Cranium Command again.
I would love for them to bring this back to life! Although, knowing disney, they'd probably redo it and make it a Stitch ride or some other "popular" disney character. Ugh
Again, it surprises me that people are so adverse to Disney theming their rides to popular Disney Characters. People seem to forget that Disneyland, and by extension, WDW, were made by Walt Disney to promote his TV shows and movies and vice versa. He made have wanted a place for parents and children to enjoy together but it was always used as a Marketing tool for the Disney studios.
So, taking Nemo, Buzz and Woody, Cars, Bug's Life, Stitch, etc and theming or retheming a ride around them is what the Disney company has done since its inception and will continue to do ad infinitum.

In Response To: Re: Granola - oats/ type O (Peter D'Adamo)
I'm new to all this: a couple things were overlooked in her last question. First, O's aren't supposed to take St. John's Wort, I have found it to be far more beneficial than Prozac or Effexor. Secondly, why can't we have certain spices (vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon, to name a few)? I also want to know about the caffeine issue, must I also give up my ice tea, and ALL sodas, ALL the time?? Thanx

Adopting the rationale of CA1 in

, 9/30/05)
AILA Doc. No. 05100769.
CA9 Withdraws Somalian Class Action Decision; Orders Remand

AILA Doc. No. 05080761.

Nucleic Acid Synthesis
Name: Andee Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: CA Country: United States Date: June 2006
I need to know the equation for nucleic acids synthesis... also if you could tell me something interesting about nucleic acids and carbohydrates that most people don't know, that would be very helpful. my chemistry teacher wants a presentation on biological molecules because she thinks "it will be very interesting" (even though she hasn't taught us about it) and i'm having trouble finding what i'm looking for.
Here are a couple of facts that most people are not aware of. DNA contains palindromic sequences, i.e. sequences of base pairs that read the same in either direction. Google palindromic DNA. Also, about 90% of the DNA in human cells does not code for anything. Google junk DNA.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Magpie (TIP)!
Facts about Magpie (TIP)
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Magpie (TIP)'s Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
For more information about this dog, please contact his/her adoption coordinator:
Please send inquiries to this email address and not the general info email.
Meet Magpie, a 2-3 year old female beagle mix and is approximately 22 pounds. She was rescued from a high kill shelter and is so loving and wants to be with you all the time and take part in whatever your doing. Whether you are doing laundry or loading the dishwasher, she will be your best friend.
She is sensitive, gentle, nosey and very eager to please. She loves to go for walks and the beagle in her keeps her nose to the ground. She's got a compact stocky body. She absolutely loves children and if your child is up for a tea party, she will want to join in. Dress her up, pull her in a wagon --- she is a perfect children's dog.
Magpie is very calm. All you hear when she is near is the padding of her little feet. She is very quiet, but if she barks its a bark that turns into a howl. Magpie is great on a leash and is crate trained. She's a pup that you immediately love as soon as she looks at you with those chocolate drop eyes and those velvety ears.
Magpie is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She has been successfully treated for Heartworm without complications. Please consider giving her the loving home she so deserves.
Donation: $450.00 (includes $140.00 transport fee paid directly to USDA approved transport company where applicable).
Interested in adopting this fantastic canine? Please visit our website and complete an online application – we respond much quicker to applications than to emails as we receive a voluminous amount of email each day and it's impossible to respond to all of them in a timely manner even though we try.
Application: http://www.pawsnewengland.com/adoption-form/
An application does not mean you are required to adopt – it just lets us know you are seriously considering this dog for adoption.
QUARANTINE: Paws New England participates and abides by the quarantine rules and regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, RI. In certain instances, a $50.00 quarantine fee will be applicable.
UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF RHODE ISLAND BOARDED EITHER PRIVATE FOSTER HOMES OR TRAINING FACILITIES. If a dog is listed as "local", he /she is at one of our foster homes in New England.
We are often asked, "Why would you charge 'so much' for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in discounted vet care, and many people will want to adopt it; an older dog with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt him/her. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Magpie (TIP), a Barrington Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Barrington, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Barrington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Barrington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Barrington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Barrington paves the way for another one to be saved.

Since 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve has collected over 452 million toys for children in need across the United States. Each year the Toys for Tots campaign provides toys to children in our local community. Palmer intern Jeremiah Wright, Student Council representative of Class 132, along with Audra Sylvester, a Palmer Clinic Staff member and an 18-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, have now brought the Toys for Tots campaign to the Palmer Chiropractic Clinic in Florida. Throughout the Clinic are boxes to drop off new unwrapped toys. Toys will be collected through Dec. 21 at the Port Orange Clinic.
"My involvement with Toys for Tots began in 2006," said Ms. Sylvester. "Each year I try to remember those children in need at Christmas time. This year, with the help of Palmer's Student Council, Toys for Tots will once again be a way to make Christmas just a little better for many children in the local community."

Citizen Science: Who Makes the Rules?
timothy posted 1 year,26 days | from the government-of-mexico-evidently dept.
189New submitter UnderCoverPenguin writes "At MakeZine, David Lang talks about the some of the legal issues around a planned, amateur science 'expedition,' as well as some other amateur science projects. In the not too distant past, most science was amateur. Over the past 20 or so years, society has been making it harder for amateurs to do real science, despite the technical costs falling. With the recent upswing of the 'maker movement,' amateur science has seen an increase as well, but is running into an assortment of legal issues. (An exception is astronomy, where amateurs continue to play important roles. Of course, astronomy doesn't involve chemicals or other (currently) 'scary stuff.') Can amateur science make a come-back? Or are the legal obstacles too entrenched?"

Indiana looks to take page out of Butler's book in matchup vs. UNC
By Andy Proffet Post-Tribune correspondent November 26, 2012 11:12PM

Updated: December 28, 2012 6:24AM
BLOOMINGTON — There won't be any time for either team to celebrate a big play when No. 1 Indiana hosts No. 14 North Carolina tonight in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
Both teams want to run.
"All five guys (for North Carolina) are going to run the court as hard as they can every possession, so we can't take one possession off," Cody Zeller said. "We can't celebrate a nice play, because they'll be scoring in two seconds down on the other end.
"That's what they've always done, and that's what they do this year."
The key for the Hoosiers (6-0) will be to find a happy medium against the Tar Heels (5-1).
"We just have to slow down their offense, and then once we get the ball, we want to push it up," Zeller said. "I think it will be a fast-paced game, but we can't let them score as quickly as they want to on offense."
That was a key in North Carolina's 82-71 loss to Butler a week ago in the Maui Invitational. The Tar Heels took just 25 first-half shots and trailed 35-18 at halftime. In their other five games, the Tar Heels took at least 32 first-half shots and led at the break in each one.
"Butler got off to a great start," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "They were very physical with them, they made shots and they did a really good job in transition.
"(But) it truly is never over until it's over. They are one of the great teams at coming back."
Offense shouldn't be a problem for either team. The Hoosiers are fourth in the nation, averaging 88.7 ppg, while the Tar Heels average 85.3 ppg, good for 10th.
But North Carolina will likely be without third-leading scorer P.J. Hairston. The sophomore guard sprained his left knee in practice on Sunday and is questionable.
There's still plenty to defend, though, with top scorer James Michael McAdoo and junior Reggie Bullock.
"McAdoo is unlike anything we have seen with his ability to rebound out of the break," Crean said. "It is never over with their break. If they don't score quick, if they don't get a layup or an open 3-pointer, you have to really be able to guard against the second shot because McAdoo is the trailer with a full head of steam."

The awards are part of a national program for PBS stations — highlighting nonprofits' excellence and providing accolades for nonprofits committed to offering programs for individuals to "be more."
Winners will be announced at a ceremony taking place March 9 at the Chattanooga Convention and Trade Center. There will be a VIP Meet and Greet at 10:30 a.m., registration at 11 a.m. and the program begins at 11:30 a.m.
Gwen Ifill, moderator and managing editor of "Washington Week" and senior correspondent for "The PBS Newshour" will be the keynote speaker. Ifill is a best-selling author and has received more than a dozen honorary doctorates. She serves on the boards of the Harvard University Institute of Politics and the Committee to Protect Journalists, and she is a fellow with the American Academy of Sciences.
Awards are given to six categories, each honoring a different aspect of making a positive impact to those within the WTCI viewing area.
One local nonprofit that is a finalist is Tri State Therapeutic Riding Center, a therapeutic and recreational horseback riding facility serving individuals with physical, mental and emotional disabilities.
Their programs are designed to help improve the lives of individuals of all ages through equine assisted activities. The support of riders, parents, volunteers and the community keep Tri-State Therapeutic Riding Center operating year-round.
Denise Wright, executive director, found out about the Be More Awards through the Center for Nonprofits. After working several weeks writing the grant to be considered, she submitted it with high hopes to be a recipient for some much-needed funds to continue the new equine assisted learning programs the riding center has initiated titled "Taking the Lead" and "Taking the Reins."
After seeing the progress and positive results of the teen volunteers sent over from the juvenile court system, Wright began to research and design lessons to incorporate the character traits which are taught in the city and county school systems.
Working with a team, Wright researched the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association's (NARHA) equine facility as it relates to mental health and equine assisted learning programs. She spent time planning lessons then created a monthlong program on each character trait for at risk youth ages 10-18 with behavior issues.
"Partnering with Parkridge Valley and one of their representatives who loves horses, we worked out the kinks of what worked and what didn't work well with horses," Wright said. "They funded the program and gave us eight students for a pilot program."
According to Wright, she was confident the new program would be a success because the court-ordered juveniles enjoyed learning and having responsibilities so much they returned as volunteers. With her fingers crossed she is hopeful one of the two areas the group is a finalist in, People's Choice Award and Be More Creative, will result in additional funding to continue the promising new programs.
"It was such an honor to be put in as a finalist with all these other organizations. Getting our name out there and the publicity is really great too," said Wright.

American manufacturing facilities are expanding production for the first time in over a year and a half, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The ISM's manufacturing index broke 50 for the first time since January 2008, coming in at 52.9.
The ISM index is a key measure of US manufacturing. Any number below 50 means the economy is contracting, and any number over 50 means it's expanding.
This is a significant stepping stone of the path to recovery because it means that manufacturers have burned down as much of their inventory as they feel comfortable with and are launching new purchase orders. This, in turn, should lead to the creation of more jobs.

The blog The Root, which is owned by The Washington Post, has an article entitled "Black Folks We'd Like To Remove From Black History." The list includes Ugandan military dictator Idi Amin, the notorious "DC Sniper" John Allen Muhammad, and Zimbabwean totalitarian Robert Mugabe. Guess who else is on the list? That horrible man Clarence Thomas.
Although he's only the second man of color to serve in the Supreme Court, the Backstreet Boys have more standing in the black community than Clarence Thomas. That's because he looks to the Constitution as "colorblind," says he's a man who just happens to be black and opposes government programs intended to help minorities. I'm not sure if the late Thurgood Marshall would want to pop Clarence 'side his head with his gavel, but there are plenty of blacks who would volunteer to do it for him.
Basically what Michael Arceneaux is saying is that Clarence Thomas' responsibility isn't to the Constitution, but to help minorities keep quotas that are unconstitutional. All citizens of the United States are supposed to be judged equally. This is why quotas are unconstitutional. Arceneaux should note that Thomas' views on abortion and gay marriage actually are in line with most African Americans. However, if you're an African American intellectual who disagrees with Arceneauex you're in line with murderers. How's that for derangement?
The true greatness of people like Clarence Thomas and the economist Thomas Sowell is that they are truly colorblind. Instead of grasping onto tired ideologies that are based on race they are able to think for themselves. Thomas Sowell is one of my favorite economists and he's also someone who has changed the way I think about many issues. Should I care if he's black, blue or purple? Apparently I should, at least according to Arceneaux. But I won't.

The look is stylish & beautiful, however, the quality needs to be improved. When you increase the water pressure it splashes all over leaving you with the option to have a low pressure faucet which is not what I need when washing my hands. Disappointed in the performance.
These were terrible for the plumber to install. After installation of both faucets (double vanity), one continually leaked so I requested the company to send another. They responded quickly and shipped another faucet.... Sorry to say that this one leaks as well. When I called again I was told I was the only person to ever experience leakage problems with this faucet but since other reviews now state the same thing, I'm guessing that's not the case. I would not recommend this product.
The faucets are beautiful, but installation is challenging. The big problem is that one of them works like a charm, the second one (my side of the double sink...) is a total disaster, it does not stop dripping and there is a leak on the main body valve. They are still installed but in all fairness if they were not so difficult to install they would have been returned a long time ago. First complete disaster of all my Overstock buys.
My review is based on the style, availability, and price. This wall mount glass waterfall faucet is very stylish; Overstock is the only place has it for such low price. The metal part is solid, well built. Overstock had it delivered to me in 4 business days. Overall, I am very happy with the price I definitely will shop again. By the way, installation part, I had my plumber build a special wall mount support for the faucet, so they will be very sturdy .
Stay away from this faucet. It is a total waste of money.

A smorgasbord of woe has beset the California alfalfa industry this year, and the unpleasant menu of problems is hitting everyone, including custom harvesters.
The near-crisis is due to a variety of factors, not the least of which are double-digit increases in premiums for workers' compensation insurance. Another problem is low milk prices being paid to the state's dairy producers, the major buyers of California alfalfa hay. High diesel fuel prices are compounding the problem.
"There seems to be less optimism going into the current season compared to last year," says Aaron Kiess, executive director of the California Alfalfa & Forage Association.
Kiess says a San Joaquin Valley grower and custom harvester recently voiced concern about cash flow this year. The grower said dairy hay buyers are being cautious and not buying large quantities.
"In the meantime, he's facing the same problem as everyone else in agriculture," says Kiess. "His workers' compensation insurance costs went up 30% a year ago and then jumped another 30% in January. Combined with higher fuel prices, he's obviously taking a big hit."
Another custom harvester feeling the impact is Bob Walton of Walton Hay Banking, Dunnigan, CA.
"Insurance rates are just skyrocketing," says Walton. "An employee does a good job and gets a decent salary. That is as it should be, but all these other added costs create a hardship for the employer."
Over a seven-month period starting in April, Walton's crews custom harvest about 4,000 acres of alfalfa and other crops.
He recalls that, back in the 1970s when water was more plentiful in the Sacramento Valley, alfalfa yielded about 12 tons/acre. Growers could apply two irrigations between cuttings then; now there's only enough water for one. As a result, the annual yield has dropped to 8-9 tons/acre.
"We are doing everything we can to control costs," Walton says. "We have eliminated a lot of extra road time back and forth to fields. Instead of checking a field in the morning and again in the afternoon, we just check it once to eliminate one of those road trips. Instead of sending four pickups to bale a field, now maybe we send two pickups with two guys in each one."
He also buys twine and other supplies in bulk at the best possible price. He can store 40,000 gallons of diesel, so he buys it when the price is low and stays out of the market when the price is high.
"A year ago, I paid 60¢ a gallon delivered for my diesel. Today the cost is $1.25 and I'm thankful I don't need to buy any."
Walton also runs his equipment longer. "We used to turn our custom haying equipment every three or four years; now we're running it five to seven. We need to get more out of it."
California's custom hay harvesting business has changed in the 35 years Walton has been in it.
"In the old days, some of the guys could be a little sloppy and get away with it," he says. "If you baled some hay and it got moldy, you'd just figure that you would make up for it with the next cutting.
"But now it's so tight for the growers that, if you can't put up their hay at the best quality, they're going to be looking for someone else to do it instead."
According to Seth Hoyt of the California Ag Statistics Service, the state's hay acres are expected to drop 11% this year. Apparently, many farmers are shifting from alfalfa to wheat and cotton, says Hoyt.

Who I Am, In Picture Form
Let's break this down, in case the banner menu across the top isn't clear enough. This is my blog, it's where I do most of my blogging. I also tweet, and I do that somewhere around here, and I have a Facebook page, which tends to loiter in this general area. As for the rest of me?
Hi. I'm Felix, I'm 24, and I occasionally write things on the internet.
This is a picture of me. That's what I look like, with my face and head and legs and the various other bodily appendages that define a basic humanoid form.
You'd best not be fooled by how cool I occasionally look; I'm actually a total loser. I do play guitar, as well as piano and ukulele, but you probably needn't know that, because I only possess varying degrees of terribleness in all three.
I tend to dress pretty weirdly. I know, I know; the world can be a scary place, but make your peace with it. I've found that while a small brown waistcoat or a jacket with elbow patches can't keep you safe during the long winters of the soul, they can at least make pretty girls smile at you while you slowly decompose on the inside.
I own a hat, or whatever else caption might be a good enough excuse to cover my insistence on putting this picture in here.
Sometimes I draw disturbing things that probably shouldn't be seen by people. Other times I do disturbing things that shouldn't… actually, forget that. Let's just move on.
I occasionally like seeing stuff and looking at stuff, and even more so when I'm adorned with a thin, functionally useless in terms of keeping warm, but stylish none the less, scarf. I don't know who 'Pinky' is, or why he defaced this plant.
This is my cat. He's tired of you and all of your lies. He doesn't want to be disturbed by any more of your human nonsense.
This is my brother Marcus. Contrary to what this picture depicts, he is not a philandering New York stock broker. He's a cop in London. I know, right? How terribly exciting.
This is my brother Daniel. In accordance with what this picture depicts, he is indeed a blithering idiot. He's an officer in the RAF Regiment. That's the crazy one with all the yelling and the sleeping in mud.
We all used to look like this, but then things started going wrong.
This is my one friend, Charlie. He looks less like an unkempt school dinner lady in real life. We both own sunglasses and a need to make dumb faces when someone is taking a picture of us.
This one time, he took me sloth stroking. I mean, there was other stuff at the zoo as well, but… sloth stroking, man.
This is my girlfriend Rebecca. She's kind of cute. We've been living together for six years. Occasionally she let's me speak; more often, she tells me to be quiet.
She's little folk. My whole family calls her 'Disney' and I'm pretty sure birds sing to her when no one else is around.
I like writing stuff. One day I'll figure out how to actually make some money off of it. Maybe. I'll try to pop in and write you all some silly little jokes and rants and whatever other nonsensical garbage I find rattling around inside my seldom-used brain. In the meantime however, I'm busy, so as long as you keep the noise to a minimum, you're free to take a look around. Read it, comment on it, subscribe to it, and generally enjoy all of the world-weary winging that can be found in the land of Grumpy Comments.
