I had an amazing grape from the local Korean grocery yesterday, and from the look and sound of it, it may have been a Kyoho grape. Anyone out there grow this? And anyone is PNW know if it would safely grow here? I was hoping for a PNW forum, but if any of you in the northern state can answer this, I'd love you forever! I live in Vancouver BC, similar weather (bit cooler) to SF area.
Thanks, Janet |

Kyoto grapes were developed in a part of Japan that latitudinally is parallel to Northern California but with a climate similar to our Atlantic Coast. It's a cross between the Mediterranean grape (Vitis vinifera) and our Eastern fox grape (Vitis lambrusca). There you are. Joe |
Joe, "boiseau" in Fruits and Orchards, just suggested I try growing from seed since they're "tetraploid" and should just about reproduce the parent plant. So I've just eaten the rest of the grapes I brought home yesterday, and saved all the seeds. Who knows... Cheaper than looking for the stock/cuttings, and if they fail... it was all a learning experience! J |
Have you tried googling the name for growers? |
- Posted by gardenguru1950 SunsetZ16 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 15, 09 at 0:29
J: Kyoho grapes are interspecific hybrids and do not produce "true" from seed. "Tetraploid" or not. Your "learning experience" will be a long and expensive one, considering time to first fruit from seed and your labor involved. Buy bareroot plants this winter. Joe |
Thanks Joe. I'm trying valiantly to find bareroot Kyoho, and now I'm wondering if it's totally the wrong kind of grape for my climate-- as you implied... Still working on it. J |
- Posted by kelpmermaid 10S24 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 15, 09 at 11:17
I know I have purchased them at our local farmer's market; I'll check and see where that grower is located. They are delicious! They are so much like Concords. |
Hi Janet, I have this Kyoho grape grown in my back yard for two years. I lived in Suoth SF bay area (San Jose). If you still interested, let me know. - Michael |
Thanks for the reply Michael. Funny hearing back after three years! I eventually bought a seedless concord-like grape (name escapes me but begins with C) that Fall (Sept 09) that is making fruits for the first time this year. We've had MISERABLE weather so far (14C and rainy today, but hopes for dry and warm later this week) so whether of not they will produce eating grapes remains to be seen... |
Kyoho was bred from Campbells Early in Japan. I had 7 of them, but production was so sporadic, and I had so many far superior Labrusca grapes that I ripped them out. Jupiter, Venus, Glenora (all seedless), Steuben, and Price have been superior to Kyoho in every way in my vineyard. Bay Laurel Nursery ships Kyoho. Rollingriver Nursery and Raintree Nursery ship the others. Maybe you have Canadice, Janet, which is a decent tough little grape, whose tight clusters might be somewhat problematic in the humid PNW. |

I have also been looking for a kyopo grape plant for some time. Michael - I also live in San Jose, is it possible for me to get a piece of the plant from you? I would really like to see if I can grow it in my backyard. |
Michael, I'm in Sunnyvale, I would also love to get a shoot from you if possible. Thanks. |

Oh, my goodness, I have a huge mess on my hands. I'm in the process of trying to remove latex that was painting over oil based paint (by the previous owners). The oil was not prepared first and the latex easily chips and peels off. I've worked for three days on the trim and baseboards in my daughter's room and I'm almost in tears. I have sanding dust everywhere and a pile of goo where I tried to use that orange stripper on a piece of door trim. I've sent my kids to my parent's house as there is too much dust for my asthma child. Any advice on how to get this removed a little more easily? Scraping doesn't get all of it. I've resorted to using a detail sander as it does a pretty good job, but it's slow process. I have a whole house of this mess to remove.
I hope someone out there has a magic solution to share! |

It might be easier to remove and replace the trim and baseboards than to strip them. |
I was so trying to avoid that...but, I decided just a few minutes ago while showering off two tons of paint dust that I'm going to at least check into replacing the door trim. All those grooves (insert a large pair of googly eyes). I can handle the baseboards, but that door trim!!!! Ugh, I'm going to take some ibuprofin and have beer. |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 5:54
and have beer. Way back in the old days, I found Mr. Daniels to be a great help, or so I thought. |
You can get good advice on paint removal from the Old House forum. Are you trying to strip down to bare wood? Could you just take off the latex paint with something like Goof Off and leave the oil paint as a base? I feel your pain. I have done some window frame and sash paint removal and currently am working on the front porch. I'm using a heat gun and and scrapers. I have tried the chemical strippers, but you still have to get the gunk out of the nooks and crannies. |
I just want to get the latex off and leave the oil. I'll give Goof Off a try...can't hurt. I've tried the heat gun and it's really slow. Also bubbled up some of wall paint too. The chemical strippers are not going to happen inside. That one section with the orange stripper is enough for me to not want to do any more. So sorry you're having to do this too. It is hard work and I have tons of sympathy for anyone having to go through this tedious process. |
Just wanted to say that Goof Off does help quite a bit especially in the grooves. Thanks for the suggestion! |
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Wed, Jun 27, 12 at 12:57
Also maybe try Peel-Away, a stripping product that you can use inside. open the windows while you're using goof off. |
I've been working on my door frames and windows for months and just tried this. Amazing! Love the fact that it only removes the latex. I was using other methods that removed everything and I don't need that. Now to figure out how to do it to the entire house without becoming toxic from the fumes. There should be a special place in hell for people that do this prior to selling their house. I guess that's a bit dramatic but if you've dealt with it I'm sure you can relate. |

Best Buy Scholarships
College Funding for the Geek Squad
Best Buy was founded in 1966 as a retailer of audio equipment called Sound of Music, adding video equipment and appliances in the 1980s. The company went public in 1985, and in 1989 it started placing all its inventory on the sales floor, which was a new concept at the time. Best Buy moved into Canada in 2002 and China in 2003, and now operates in thirteen countries worldwide.
One of the most interesting features of Best Buy's approach to business is its development of the Geek Squad, a 24-hour tech support service based in not only individual Best Buy stores but also free-standing service centers. Its personnel can install, troubleshoot, and repair the equipment it sells or other comparable equipment. Geek Squad was an independent business until it entered a partnership with Best Buy in 2002, and now Geek Squad servicepersons make house calls on the company's behalf.
Best Buy Scholarship Program
The Best Buy Scholarship Program has been distributing financial aid since 1999, and so far has given at least $20.7 million in scholarships. Currently, 1,100 high school students receive $1,000 each, payable to the college of your choice to cover part of your school expenses for the fall of your first year.
Best Buy has hired a company called Scholarship Management Services to administer the program on its behalf, but you can apply online through the Best Buy site. The application period usually starts in December and ends in February, and the company advises applicants not to wait until the last few days because of increased traffic that slows the site down. No late applications are accepted.
Eligibility And Judging
Details about the program are available in the current copy of this document. Criteria are subject to change, but here are the eligibility rules used in 2012:
- You must be in high school (grades 9 through 12), live in the United States or Puerto Rico, and home schooling is acceptable. You may not attend a school using an APO address.
- Your GPA must be equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
- You must have experience working or volunteering in your community.
- You must have plans to enroll full-time in an accredited institution of higher education when you graduate from high school. You may choose a program that takes two or four years, a vocational or technical school, or even a web-based school.
- The Best Buy scholarship is a one-time award, so if you have received one in the past you may not apply again.
Financial need and personal characteristics will not affect the status of your application, and while your academic record must be acceptable, it need not be exceptional. The evaluators are looking for students who have already entered the work force or made substantial contributions to better their communities. Your extracurricular activities and school leadership also receive some weight.
The online application requires you to register with Best Buy, and here is a list of the information you will need to provide on your application:
- You must make notes on your volunteer service, your work history, and your extracurricular activities at school.
- You must include a high school transcript.
- You must give Best Buy contact information for your school (address, telephone number, and principal's name).
Finally, Best Buy will expect you to sign a release authorizing the company to use your name for publicity purposes.
Other Best Buy Philanthropic Programs
Geek Squad Summer Academy is an event sponsored by Best Buy, which works with local nonprofits in various communities to create an interactive digital environment where children between the ages of ten and 18 can enjoy themselves while they learn responsible internet use, write programs of their own, or use imaging and music software. The maximum fee for admission is $35, but otherwise the local nonprofits are allowed to set the amount.
You can help organize an event in your community by finding a nonprofit with which to collaborate and submitting a joint proposal to the academy.
The goal of much of Best Buy's philanthropy is to increase the number of people who have access to the digital world, which is a challenge in some areas. Best Buy seeks out underserved communities, and has developed a new program called Best Buy Teen Tech Centers, which got underway in 2012.
These after-school centers provide the same kind of interactive environment found at Geek Squad Summer Academy events, and Best Buy is represented locally by both retail and Geek Squad employees. One center opened in a Minneapolis library, and access will also be made available online. To facilitate the online portion of the program, Best Buy is receiving assistance from the established Intel Computer Clubhouse Network, which has been delivering similar services to teenagers for 20 years.

Avoid These Pitfalls
When it comes to franchising, you hear more often about the successes than you do the failures. But the truth of the matter is that even though investing in a business with processes in place and a recognizable brand name can lessen the chances for business failure, franchise failures still happen.

Essay: Weary Italians aren't in the mood to laugh anymore at Berlusconi's latest transgressions.
For a country synonymous with style and culture, where inelegance is treated as a public crime, it's a wonder that a man who revels in playing the fool can be elected Italian prime minister — not once, but three times.
Chalking it up to a macho society — one writer calls Italy "the country feminism forgot" — is simplistic. It doesn't explain the multiple corruption scandals Berlusconi has survived and the non-sexist gaffes he gets away with — from comparing himself to Jesus Christ to describing U.S. President Barack Obama as "handsome and tanned."
In the club of developed democracies, the 72-year-old prime minister is a phenomenon. Conflict of interest laws alone would prevent his coming to power in most democracies. But in Italy, he flourishes.
Italy's deeply corrupt post-war political culture made him one of the country's wealthiest citizens. A media mogul with a near monopoly on television, he has long been accused of fashioning the country in his image by influencing political coverage and feeding Italians an endless extravaganza of kitsch and flesh.
The relationship, however, is symbiotic. The late Italian singer and actor, Giorgio Gaber, perhaps said it best: "It's not the Berlusconi in him that I fear, it's the Berlusconi in me."
Says Franco Ferrarotti, a dean of Italian sociology: "This man somehow represents the secret dreams of most people." By no means does Berlusconi get a free ride. Italy has been sharply divided between left- and right-wing political parties since the end of World War II. Many Italians would love to see Berlusconi in jail.
His only majority government victory in 2008 was propelled by farcical infighting of the left-wing coalition he unseated. For Italians in search of stability — they have had 62 governments since 1945 — Berlusconi was the only alternative.
His right-wing People of Freedom coalition quickly abolished property taxes on primary residences. With an estimated 80 percent of Italians owning their own home, the move was wildly popular.
But his appeal runs deeper. He seems the walking embodiment of an Italian proverb that speaks volumes about the national character: Fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno. It describes laws — and the ways to avoid them — coming to life at exactly the same time. Income tax evasion alone amounts to $300 billion, according to one estimate.
"The national sport is to violate the law. If you obey the law diligently, you have to be careful not to be seen as a fool," Ferrarotti says.

Star Wars NFL Helmets: Use Defense Luke!
February 4th, 2014
Check out these football helmets from a galaxy far far away. They look a lot like the ones our players wear, only cooler, with more geek. They look amazing.
Illustrator John Raya created these cool mashups, with designs for all 32 NFL teams. Check them all out here and find your team. Hopefully your team isn't the Redskins though. You got stuck with Jar Jar.
I wish this league really existed. I would love to see Star Wars characters battle each other on the field. Blasters and lightsabers are legal. Then again, I saw that once on Naboo and that didn't turn out so well. This would be better. I think.

Recently married, I live in South Florida. I enjoy cooking and entertaining when I can. We recently bought a house and are trying to get our lives together. My husband loves me trying new recipes (as long as they don't have veggies!) which is great, because I love to try them. Everyone that comes to our house becomes a taste tester. :)
Anything good! Love comfort foods like mashed potatoes and any pasta, but try not to eat them too much. A "reformed" vegan (it happens when the significant other doens't eat veggies!) we compromise and eat chicken and fish, and husband tries the veggies.

Neneh Cherry trade vocals with Swedish pop superstar Robyn on new Four Tet produced single "Out Of The Black" that features minimal synths and drums
Neneh Cherry trade vocals with Swedish pop superstar Robyn on new Four Tet produced single "Out Of The Black" that features minimal synths and drums
Young Turks along with guests such as Jamie XX, Four Tet, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis and Sampha doing a takeover of Australian radio station FBi Radio.
Minimal legend Ricardo Villalobos together with German producer, Max Loderbauer remixes the new Neneh Cherry single "Everything" (taken from her forthcoming Four Tet produced "Blank Project" album) into a 10 minute long bass heavy take on the sensible pop single.
"100k followers very soon… tradition is to give away some music or something right?"
Four Tet gives away his Grimes edit along with a bunch of other tracks via his Twitter.
Four Tet x Grimes – Human Once Again (Sendspace download link)
The first in a new series for BBC 6, Jamie XX hands in an eclectic mix that digs through gems of disco, house, soul, funk etc. He showcases tracks done by Pional, Hyetal, Todd Edwards and also his own edits of among others The XX and Four Tet. Towards the end he sneaks in one of his own new tracks for your listening pleasure.
Last month, Swedish artist Neneh Cherry announced that she will release her first solo album in 16 years in the beginning of 2014 – following the news of a collaboration with RocketNumberNine, produced by Four Tet, and featuring a guest appearance by Robyn – Neneh is now ready to share further details of this forthcoming record. The 10-track album will be entitled "Blank Project", and it will be released February 25th (in the UK/Europe) February 26th (in the US) on Smalltown Supersound. Listen to the title track below.
Four Tet played together with Neneh Cherry and Omar Souleyman at last nights RBMA Weekender in Stockholm, for those of us that couldn't be there for this epic weekend extravaganza we can instead listen to an exclusive Four Tet mix done for the Ninja Tune/Solid Steel radio show.
"This mix is made from unofficial edits and mixes. I guess these edits were mainly made to be played in clubs and I've always like the tradition of DJs extending and rearranging to make things work in their sets. "Most of the edits here are unreleased because they are just tools for DJs really".


text: 17 September 2003 archive Tweet See all show photos BILL BLASS has got people talking. As the label tries to rebrand itself as something old doing something new, new designer Michael Vollbracht took the bold step of putting former models on the catwalk for his Fashion Week debut. Karen Bjornsen (pictured) opened, followed by history-making Afro-American models Coco Mitchell (see look 3) and Pat Cleveland (5), and Diane Dewitt (10), who famously showed Cindy Crawford the ropes in her early career in the Eighties. They paraded a range of Blass classics reworked for the new season: wide-legged double-breasted trousersuits, sensibly slim skirt suits, embroidered opera coat-over-matching-dress combos, cashmeres and ballooning, iridescent taffeta eveningwear, all worn with white-smiled confidence (Bjornsen/Dewitt) or a haughty sneer (Cleveland/Mitchell). The palette: ivory, grey, green, pink, beige, gold and brown - or as Vollbracht would have it, stone, pearl, seafoam, blush, champagne, cognac, candlelight and various shades of butterscotch, cinnamon and crème brulée. Not really buzzwords for a new generation. We'll have to wait and see whether the new raft of ready-to-wear customers more likely to identify with Fernanda, Carmen, Karolina and Liya buy into the rebrand. In the meantime, we can't help but wonder what Lars Nilsson, so unceremoniously dumped in favour of Blass' old pal Vollbracht hours after showing his autumn/winter collection in February, is thinking… (September 17 2003, AM) Continue reading Back to top

U-Haul Customers Contribute To Planting Two Million Trees Through The Conservation Fund's Go Zero Program
February 5, 2013
Phoenix, Az.— Thanks in large part to donations from U-Haul and its customers, The Conservation Fund announced in December that it was on the verge of achieving two spectacular milestones—the planting of its two millionth tree as part of its voluntary carbon offset program, Go Zero®, and a total of one million trees in the ground at Upper Ouachita National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Louisiana.
U-Haul customers renting equipment at participating company locations across North America and on uhaul.com can donate to Go Zero to offset carbon emissions.
"U-Haul is thrilled with the success of the Go Zero program and is proud to be in partnership with The Conservation Fund," stated Stuart Shoen, executive vice president, U-Haul International, Inc. "This has only been possible because of the hard work, generosity and mutual interests of our wonderful customers and committed Team members at every single location across the United States. Every dollar collected by U-Haul goes directly to The Conservation Fund."
Since 2007, more than 770,000 U-Haul customers have elected to offset their emissions, raising nearly $2.5 million to plant more than 290,000 native trees on behalf of Go Zero and wildlife refuges nationwide. So far U-Haul donations have restored more than 962 acres of forest—that's the size of 860 football fields—even larger thanNew York'sCentral Park. Over the next 100 years those trees will trap nearly 350,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Donations have also helped to protect working forests along California's north coast, including the purchase and retirement of 22,500 tons of carbon from the Fund's Garcia, Big River and Salmon Creek forests in Mendocino County. Moving forward, a portion of U-Haul's Go Zero donations will also be used to help plant trees, restore parks and support a growing green economy in Detroit.
"The support and generosity from U-Haul and its customers for this program is unprecedented," said Jena Meredith, director of The Conservation Fund's Go Zero program. "Based on the extraordinary success and high participation rates, climate change and habitat loss are obviously two issues that resonate strongly with U-Haul and its customers. Their donations deliver measurable results for our nation's air quality, forests and wildlife."
About The Conservation Fund
At The Conservation Fund, we combine a passion for conservation with an entrepreneurial spirit to protect your favorite places before they become just a memory. A hallmark of our work is our deep, unwavering understanding that for conservation solutions to last, they need to make economic sense. Top-ranked, we have protected more than 7 million acres across America.
About U-Haul
U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S.customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul Sustainability Program: "Serving the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable. Learn more about these facts and others at uhaul.com/sustainability.
Since 1945, U-Haul has been the choice for the do-it-yourself mover. U-Haul customers' patronage has enabled the Company to maintain the largest rental fleet in the do-it-yourself moving industry which includes trucks, trailers and towing devices. U-Haul also offers storage throughoutNorth America. The Company provides industry leading moving and storage boxes and an extended line of packing supplies to protect customer possessions. U-Haul is the consumer's number one choice as the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket. The Company supplies alternative-fuel for vehicles and backyard grills as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.

To quote Lomography with regards to your first best picture: "For the lucky ones, it was their very first shot from their very first roll of their very first Lomo camera". I am one of those lucky ones as my first ever roll in my first ever lomo camera produced photos that amazed me.
When thinking about my first best picture I was torn between the black and white shots I took at a graveyard or a roll I shot when on a weekend trip to the seaside.
The black and white shots if I'm honest blew me away. The camera (Vivitar UWS) and film (Kodak T-Max 400) produced so much contrast in some of shots I hardly believed I shot them myself on my piece of junk camera. The aesthetic of the photos really suited the subject matter too and without wanting to blow my own trumpet I was very very pleased with what I'd shot that day. For this reason I considered that my favourite shot from this day ought to be my first best picture.
Even so I couldn't help but look back at the first ever roll of film I shot in a lomo-inspired camera. It was on a weekend trip to the seaside that I took my 2nd hand 'Vivi' out for the first time and without knowing very much about the camera, the film and Lomo in general I loaded some Sensia 400 with the intention of having it cross-processed after getting home.
Now given that this was my first time out I was utterly gob smacked. The Sensia did and amazing job at capturing the atmosphere of the location and swung between muted antique looking photos to vivid saturated summer snaps – all from the same roll of film!
There are in fact a few photos I can pick out from that set that really take me back not only to the day in question but back to my childhood enjoying the holidays by the sea. For a photo to emote this kind of response (even when maybe not as striking as my previously mentioned black and white photos) then it has to be considered in my opinion as my first best picture.
The fact it happened to be on my first roll in my first camera? Well I guess that just makes it all the more special.
Ladies and gentlemen…. my First Best Picture

Samsung Series 3 15.6" detailed review (NP300-V5A-A02US)
Recently, I was in the market for a notebook computer to use at school. I will be starting a graduate program this fall, and I did not want to either be tied to the university's computer labs, or have to wait until I got home every day, to work in a digital environment that I controlled.
After much research, but apparently not enough (see below), I bought the Samsung Series 3 "Petronas," model number NP300-V5A-A02US, at a US Costco store. I paid US $700.
This notebook has many innovative and useful features, such as the "Fast Start," which lets you reboot Windows 7 and resume from sleep notably faster than was previously possible. The 1366x768, twisted-nematic panel LCD screen is surprisingly good, being both sharp, clear, and bright, but also usable in outdoor conditions. I can usually still see it even in direct sunlight. Wireless Display (aka "Easy Content Share") lets you stream video to any nearby DLNA-equipped HDTV. Not many laptops have both VGA and HDMI outputs, but this one does.
Perhaps the best hardware feature is the keyboard. With a dedicated number pad, it has a feel and response that is way above average for a portable PC. Other keyboards feel cheap and shoddy by comparison.
The case has understated matte and brushed-look finishes. It lacks the shiny, plastic toy look of so many other notebooks, and won't show dirt, scratches, or fingerprints as easily. Only the touchpad buttons have a shiny, chrome finish.
Strangely, there seems to be NO way to adjust any settings of the touchpad. That's too bad, as it's not your average notebook touchpad. It supports multi-touch gestures, but as there's no way to adjust the movement speed or pointer acceleration, I quickly tired of having to drag my finger over it several times to complete long scrolls. Possibly its software is conflicting with the Logitech notebook mouse I also use with the machine, but I will not be exploring a full solution as I do not think I will be keeping this computer.
Battery life is good for such a large machine. Windows 7 estimates 4.5 hours with a full charge. Here's yet another interesting feature: Battery Life Extension, a mode in BIOS (also accessible through the Samsung Control Panel software) limits battery charging to 80% of capacity. Supposedly, this makes the battery last for more charging cycles through its lifetime. I turned this feature on right away, since I typically use the machine plugged into AC power.
Now the bad points.
I don't care for the AC adapter design at all. The DC power tip plugs straight into the side of the computer, rather than using an elbow connector. So the plug sticks out a few inches, almost guaranteeing it will eventually be broken off accidentally (along with the socket on the system board!) and ensuring that it will take up extra space on your desk. It is a plug type unique to Samsung; I have been unable to find a compatible elbow connector tip for sale anywhere.
Crypto fans may wish to keep looking. The Core i5-2410M is the only member of the Core-i5 family that lacks hardware-accelerated AES execution (AES-NI). I use TrueCrypt, so this was ultimately a deal-breaker for me.
Unfortunately, all the good points above are nullified by the glaring lack of either USB 3.0 or at least one eSATA port. It's mid-2011, this is Samsung's latest design...and they used USB 2.0? Seriously? I don't want to wait on a slow USB 2.0 connection for file transfers/system backups using an external hard drive. My desktop computer from 3 years ago at least has eSATA, as does a relative's Toshiba notebook from about the same time.
Samsung really dropped the ball by failing to provide a fast connection for external HDDs. This is where I apparently missed something in my research. All the other machines at Costco had USB 3.0 or eSATA. For some reason, I thought this Samsung had USB 3.0 as well. But it's clearly listed on both the Costco website and Samsung's website as having only USB 2.0 ports. Examination of my NP300-V5A-A02US, as well as transferring files to a USB 3.0 external drive, seems to confirm USB 2.0 and not 3.0. That is likely due to the Intel HM-65 chipset used. I'm very disappointed in Samsung.
It looks likely that this machine is going back for a refund. I'll probably have to buy a Toshiba or maybe a Lenovo, as they seem to be the only ones offering USB 3.0 at anything close to the same price point.Last edited by CoreEye5; 6th August 2011 at 10:05 AM.

Re: Samsung Series 3 15.6" detailed review (NP300-V5A-A02US)
Hi coreeyes,
Did you end up returning the laptop? I just picked one up yesterday, and I was wondering if you figured out how to change the settings on the touchpad. Something that really bothers me is the sharp edge especially on the left corner of the laptop. I find it quite prickly and rough to the touch and it really bothers me while I'm typing for a long time. Did you find this an issue?
On another note, I received a bsod screen last night too... saying one of the secondary timers on the processor stopped I think? I might run a few tests today to see if there is hardware issue.I love my Asus V2s-A1

If it is the Elantech touchpad then our accrued wisdom about this is encapsulated in this thread..
Are you using Samsung's SW Update software to look for newer drivers? If not, you will find it on Samsung's download site.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Harriet, a Knoxville Labrador Retriever/Wirehaired Fox Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Wirehaired Fox Terrier for sale in Knoxville, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Wirehaired Fox Terrier dog from a breeder in Knoxville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Knoxville 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 Knoxville 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 Labrador Retriever/Wirehaired Fox Terrier breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Wirehaired Fox Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Knoxville paves the way for another one to be saved.

@OeKc05 – If you are going to eat mushrooms that are growing outside, it is always best to grow the mushrooms yourself. That way, you know exactly what kind they are.
However, if you eat what is called a "mock meadow mushroom," you shouldn't die. My cousin ate one once, and though he had painful cramps, diarrhea, and extreme nausea, he didn't have to go to a doctor. Once he got the mushroom out of his system, he got well.
He never ate another wild mushroom, though. Even though the mildly toxic ones won't kill you, they will make you so sick that you will curse yourself for eating one!

Adoption Process:
Complete the application at the link above or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us which pet you're interested in and we'll send you a questionnaire that will help us make the best match for you and your new pet. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. This is a pending period to give your dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.

Building a dream playground for Kids
Posted By Shruti Goradia On April 19, 2013 @ 7:00 am In Family | No Comments
The Shutterfly Foundation partnered with KaBOOM! to fund and build the Eden Area YMCA. On a beautiful day, we had the pleasure of helping the kids' dream come true. It was exciting to know that our direction came directly from children in the area who would be using the playground. On 'Design Day' a few weeks ago they had designed their 'dream playground' and we spent a day bringing it to life.
200 of us from Shutterfly, the YMCA and the local community built the play structure and completed other beautification projects in six hours. It was amazing to work side-by-side with so many different people, meet new people from with Shutterfly and forge stronger relationships with colleagues outside the work environment.
But above all, it was most satisfying to see the end result of our day and knowing that many young children would spend hours laughing and playing here every day.
Did I mention, our CEO, Jeff Housenbold pitched in too?

I love working in the Theme Park Industry!
We were there Dec. 4-8th last year. It was great!! MAke sure to do the MVMCP and the Candlelight Processional.
The decorations are wonderful.
It's really a great time to be there. And make sure to buy a fun Christmas Disney hat. DH's hat was Stitch and mine was Tigger (of course)
And don't forget the Gingerbread House at GF
Mousefest is during your stay so you'll have a chance (if you want) to meet a lot of Disney internet folks! You picked an amazing time to go (in my opinion!) it will be a little more crowded over the weekend and during mousefest activities but it isn't as bad as a lot of other times! All the Christmas Decorations will be up so make sure you see each Holiday Special at each resort and theme park!
