This is part of a Pathe progress story contrasting the modern aeroplanes of the late 1920's with Wright Brothers' early planes.
CU from behind Wright plane ready to take off; it taxis on three small wheels; a few men walking or running after it. Cut to shot of another Wright plane flying at low altitude over muddy field. Then shot of plane flying higher; towards camera.
Rotating wipe; changes to shot of bizarre craft, looks like passenger plane with windows along sides but is moving in the water; 4 front propellers spinning. Next a big 4-propeller biplane on ground at airfield. Closer shot from front of the shiny metallic plane. CU from just behind wings and propellers. Side view nose; cockpit; portable stairs under plane door.
Title - 'The Pathe Gazette now takes you back to 1903 to see one of Wilbur Wright's first flights to enable you to realise aviation's giant progress in 24 years'.
(Film may actually be from as 1909). CU as Wilbur Wright attaches wheels to plane; or really; tilts plane to lean on wheels. A few men turn aeroplane around. Two men turn the propellers. CU Wilbur Wright and another man climb into the aeroplane.
Shot from behind; weight dropping in tower; which propels the plane forward along a rail. (This is like a physics lesson!). MS as aeroplane takes off. Several men stand in the field watching. Shots of plane flying at low altitude around the field (same as earlier in this story). Flying 100 feet high. Skimming just over the ground.

I am 5'7 and I weigh 120lbs and I want to lose about 15 pounds, what is the safest way to do this?
...is not to do it. not that I know anything, but 5'7 and 120 sounds great...if I weren't a pacifist, I would kill to be that tall and weigh that little
I'm 6'1 and like 180 pounds so like I wish I weighed that little.
well, i obviously dont know you're build or whateer, but im 5"7 and i used to weigh 120 pounds (i think - this imperial system is extremely confussing though) its only now that ive managed to put on some weight that i know thats really too thin. your "ideal" weight is 130 pounds, although i know thats quite hard to keep up.
**you must be the change you wish to see in the world**
I think if you weighed any less you would be paper lol kim 120 and im 5'3"
"Being Republican and gay is like being gay with a bad haircut!"
(I'm assuming your female here, my apologies if you are a REAALY thin guy instead :P)
It might be hard to believe, given what the media forces into us about what is considered 'attractive', but you are actually rather thin.
The standard measurement measuring whether your body weight is 'correct' is through BMI (Body Mass Index). A BMI of under 18.5 is Underweight, 18.5 - 24.9 is Normal, 25.0 - 25.9 is Overweight, and anything more is Obese.
This site has an excellent calculator (note it does not exactly follow the above and instead factors in things like age and sex to classify you); it also allows you to compare yourself to other people of your age (this may or may not be an accurate idea of what the 'correct' weight is, but it will tell you how you fit amongst your peers with respect to weight).
Your BMI is 18.8. Assuming you are 16-17, your weight is at around 25th percentile -- this means that 75% of girls your age weight more than you (for your height).
Maybe there is a better streategy you could use depending on what you want to accomplish? Why do you want to lose the weight?
all my friends are smaller than i am, and its hard to walk around with them at the pool or something in a bikini because they are skinnier than me. thats why i want to lose weight. my original goal was 100, but i know thats too skinny so i want to weigh about 110.
.. but you can't possibly look that much different from them in size. Are you sure they're really that thin?
I'm not trying to belittle you or say that you're full of it; it may very well be that it seems to you that you are too large.
Obviously, I've never seek you or your friends; but really, at that weight the difference is going to be how much your ribcage sticks out; the weight you are at right now is definitely at the low end of 'healthy'.
take a look at this webpage; I don't know if it describes you but it's worth reading.
Take care :)
The book Toning For Teens lost me tons of weight in a fairly short amount of time. Also, playing DDR burns tons of calories if you play it a lot.
I suspect the answer here is doing ab workouts or running/doing the elliptical while keeping up a relatively healthy diet--your weight will be redistributed to look more flattering even if you don't actually drop any pounds. That's kind of what I'm doing right now. :)
When people say they want to lose weight, usually what they really mean is that they want to be in shape. Instead of focusing on a number (trust me, it usually bounces back to the same amount anyway) try adjusting your lifestyle a little bit. Stop snacking between meals, and if you do, eat a fruit or a vegetable. Just a fruit or a vegetable. Ranch dressing is essentially just fat. Also, try exercising. I know it sucks, but it really does work, and after you get used to it, you'll start to like it. What's most important, though, is your ability to love yourself and your body regardless of what it looks like.
Oh, and don't compare yourself to your friends. Most girls I know compare themselves to people with completely different body tpes, when their own is equally beautiful, just in a different way.
By walking 3 miles a day, cutting down on processed food, more fruits and veggies. When I got a warehouse job for 2 months, I shed 8 pounds doing that, but I got laid off for lack of work. It was a 'year end rush' job.
nuff said. :)
"There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't."
I always feel so fat and I have no clue if I am. I'm five feet three and a half inches and I weigh about 122 pounds. You definitely do not need to lose weight. This is a good website with a BMI calculator, so you can see where you're at by medical and health standards.http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ Also, if you're under 18 years old you might want to try this BMI site for teens. http://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/bmi.html
Um... I would not say lose weight at your given height. That being said...
Okay, this is totally commercialized towards the guy's program but it's true:
Some people seem to hate cardio a whole lot. Either way, it's still exercise and it still helps. Just get yourself moving on a regular basis. Point is you can't outtrain a bad diet. If you hate exercise then eating rabbit food is probably the way to go.
I personally think that interval training as opposed to pacing yourself is better if you're going to force yourself to do cardio. Also, doing only cardio might cause a plateau, so mix it up and do different things- bike or lift weights, whatever floats your boat.
A lot of people are zomg abs! but my fitness teacher told me about her trainer who had a full on six pack (this was a woman) not from doing crunches, but from just flexing them really hard when working out. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you've ever lifted a REALLY heavy weight, you really feel it there. Basically it's your core.
Note the difference between fat and weight. Most people probably wouldn't rather lose ten pounds of muscle vs five pounds of fat.
Starve yourself, take amphetamines
nothing is permitted. everything is allowed.
As almost everyone else has said. You are quite little. I am 68 inches, 140 Ibs. But I am on the way to becoming a fitness professional. I am wondering if you want to get really skinny, or if you would like to rather fill out, and get a little bit cut. If you ever wanted to do that, I am your nutritionist. But as far as stricktly losing weight. Maintain all food groups, just cut out the fatty foods, keep the carbs, and excercise.
Being a mountaineer/climber i believe strongly that the most positive way of quickly building up your fitness after being out of form or your personal game is by cycling. Its an easy/fast way to improve yourself. Its easy to do. Its certainly more enviromentally friendly and you can easily fit it into your daily rountines. For example instead of going to the gym on a night you could get up earlier on the morning and cycle to work; if your pushing yourself it would be a smart idea to cycle to the gym as a warm up then cycle home for you warm down.
I've been on a doctor supervised Atkins eating plan for 15 months now and it works and is pretty easy...I've dropped almost 80 pounds since I started, going from 275 down to right below 200 now.
I'm prediabetic and am convinced that this saved me from having to go on Metformin or insulin. And I love the stuff the Atkins plan is based on so it's a good match. The only problem is getting other people to accept what I'm doing.
I'm just like you in more ways that you would believe but what you see prevents your acceptance of what I am.

Quoted Text I will get either grilled wild salmon, cod or halibut
Quoted from JJR we are more interested in getting good meats, and they're expensive.
Quoted from san j If the price of good meat in a restaurant deters you, know this: Any restaurant's mark-up on meat is generally the lowest of all of that restaurant's offerings. In other words, it makes least money on the meat, hoping to recoup the "loss" on side orders, other courses, beverages. So: When you do go out for meat, don't order paid extras as much, and you'll stay closer to what it would have cost you to buy the meat retail yourself.
Quoted from Lola gf meaning corn containing subs
Quoted from Spazcat I like Chipotle for fast food. They are attentive to GF and use relatively high quality ingredients.
Quoted from Eric I hear Chipotle was started by one of the McDonald's execs who turned away from his evil ways.
Quoted from JJR I've been on their website and they just don't seem to have a protein option for me. I could probably eat their rice though. I haven't eaten beans in a while. And they just have black beans I think. I gotta try some pintos again soon.
Quoted from ABJoe Eric,Based on a comment after the article, the restaurant has been open since middle of October last year(2011). Do you know how it is doing?
Quoted from Lola oh yes!they re 'ebony and ivory' of Mex cuisine!!

Oops! Yes, I see, with meals. My AraPlus is away from meals, got confused. Need to reschedule my supplements. I am hoping it helps with the weight, too. Think I will take one with breakfast and one with dinner, and see how that goes. Seems like since I quit coffee, I eat more. The coffee used to dull my appetite somewhat.

The Saints are the hottest team in football, but to keep streaking to the Super Bowl, they'll need to win at least one and probably two games on the road, outdoors and with wind — and maybe even snow — playing a role.
And outdoors, Drew Brees and the Saints are perceived to be a much weaker team than they are in the comfy, climate-controlled confines of the New Orleans Superdome.
So we dove into the stats to look at Brees' history outdoors. Here's what we found:
This year, the Saints have been unstoppable at home, decent on the road, yet pedestrian outdoors. They're 9-0 at the Superdome, outscoring their opponents by an average of 23 points per game, 5-3 on the road, outscoring their opponents by three points per, and 3-2 outdoors, outscoring five teams with a combined record of 39-41 (a number greatly skewed by Green Bay's 15-1 record) by an average of only one point per game.
They've averaged 39 points in their 12 games in domes, with at least 42 in each of their last four. But they've averaged only 26 in their five games outdoors. Only 26.
Here's a breakdown, looking specifically at Brees:
Home: 9-0 record, 73%, 32 TD, 6 INT, 343 YDS/GM, 9.0 YPA, 121 passer rating
Domes: 11-1 record, 74%, 40 TD, 8 INT, 341 YDS/GM, 8.9 YPA, 123 passer rating
Away: 5-3 record, 71%, 17 TD, 8 INT, 357 YDS/GM, 7.9 YPA, 101 passer rating
Outdoors: 3-2 record, 70%, 9 TD, 6 INT, 370 YDS/GM, 8.0 YPA, 96 passer rating
But that sample size isn't exactly enough to draw conclusions on. Extending beyond this season, Brees had actually won 11 of his last 13 outdoor road games prior to 2011. Since joining the Saints in 2006, he has a 62-33 record (.653) overall and a 30-17 road record (.638). And in outdoor games, he's 21-13 (.618).
So as you can see, Brees and the Saints have taken a step back in the open air on the road, especially recently. But it's never been a giant one. If anything, their dominance at home has probably exaggerated their "struggles" outdoors.
Still, it has to scare Saints fans that they cut it close in games played outside, and it's a bit of a concern that Brees has never won a road playoff game, losing both of them outdoors in Seattle and Chicago. In those games, Brees completed "just" 61 percent of his passes with "only" 7.0 yards per attempt and a passer rating of "only" 89.9.
It isn't fair to say the Saints struggle anywhere, but it's safe to say that Brees and Co. have been less productive outdoors. That's par for the course among elite NFL teams, of course, because excluding games they played against each other, the eight remaining playoff teams were 22-5 in domes this season (with dome teams Houston and New Orleans the only teams to lose indoors).

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he will not discuss his country's nuclear ambitions at proposed nuclear talks.
The announcement comes a day after Iran offered to resume nuclear talks with the United Nations.
"The negotiations must be based on justice and respect. It means that they (the West) should dismount from their ivory towers and put aside their arrogance and pride and negotiate in an even and respectful setting with us," Ahmadinejad said.
The security council hoped to discuss Iran's nuclear ambitions, but Ahmadinejad now says he will only talk about resolving global issues and promoting peace.
It is widely believed that Iran is using its nuclear facilities to make weapons.

If only all club presidents were as candid (and, in truth, interesting) as Napoli's Aurelio de Laurentiis. He gave his full and honest assessment of the circumstances behind the sale of Edinson Cavani today, including his release clause:
"If it wasn't for that clause, I wouldn't have sold him, not even for €70 million," he said. "It's a question of principle. You can't just go around buying everything – it's ethically wrong. The problem is these clubs are sponsored by companies who flaunt absurd sums of money.
"As for Cavani, we've had to raise his salary each year, reaching a level higher than that which Bayern Munich's top players earn.
"Then he starts saying he wants to leave, and I told him to insert a release clause, which happened last July. I'm sure Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea would never have spent €63 million."
Note de Laurentiis didn't say "backed by owners who flaunt absurd sums of money." The Napoli president's remarks signal the first major battleground in Financial Fair Play, the one thing that could very well render it useless: UEFA's failure to critically assess whether club sponsorship deals, like PSG's three figure deal with Emirates airlines re-upped this past May, were negotiated in good faith at market value.
However de Laurentiis is likely barking up the wrong tree with PSG, as this Reuters report from last May indicates:
According to media reports, the agreement was worth around 25 million euros a year, still significantly below the more lucrative shirt sponsorship deals in the English Premier League.
In other words, it's not that big a deal as far as payola contracts are concerned. Nor is there anything preventing Napoli from aggressively seeking a more lucrative sponsorship partner than Lete and MSC, a bottled water company and cruise line respectively. Surely some middling popularity amid a few Champions League seasons might be enough to up the ante.
At some point aggrieved clubs have to cast off their "David" image and realize the game's done changed.

my arabicum seedling is 4 mo old looking healthy and they are enjoying the 511 mix i have them in.the mix has some osmocote incorporated in it and i only fertilize once with foliage pro,weak dosage.the upper leaves got really wide and big compared to the ones under it(they shield the light)even some of the baby leaves died out. my question is should i prune the big leaves?.not planning to prune the apex anytime soon.or should i leave it to do its own thing?.Ahmed P.S it is growing under 4 CFL lights.getting light for 12 hours on the timer |
Follow-Up Postings:
Egyronin, I have a few with large leaves such as yours and it seems to be a characteristic of many Arabicums or any Adeniums from seed. The canopy from the leaves would definitely effect any seedling growing beneath them. I would not prune leaves. Sounds like they need more space? All look very healthy though. Rick |
- Posted by JV44 Zone 4 MN (email@example.com) on Thu, Jan 9, 14 at 14:11
I'd have to agree with Rick, no need to prune those leaves--I have a few arabicums just like this with ridiculously huge leaves, it's just the way they are. The arabicum on the left in my photo is a Black Giant seedling that has those big leaves....while the one on the right is Desert Night Fork with more normal sized leaves....both roughly 6+ months old when the photo was taken. |
rcharles,jv44 thanks a lot for your answers rick you said they look like they need more space,u mean vertically(bigger deeper pot) or horizontally (more space side wise) ? jv44 i have another kinda look like your desert fork.all of my seeds is the arabicum from yemen.it kinda looks better when shorter and fatter.by the way have root prune these?do you notice any difference in the growth habits? Ahmed |
egyronin, What I meant was that if you have seedlings under the canopy of large leaves that they would benefit from more direct light. The two plants you show, I would just leave them. May find as they get bigger that you may need to give more space between the two. They look very happy and healthy to me. Rick |
thanks again for the help.i will leave them where they at now till spring.i know i should re pot them separate. i already did that with one.prune the roots of one and the rest of them is left alone to c if there any difference in the root development. so far i notice the caudex on the root prone one getting a lot fatter from the soil line and taper up.the non prune ones soil line caudex is like a knuckle little slimmer and then get fatter then taper thin. growth on root prune ones slowed down considerably.they took longer than expected to go back to somewhat normal.leaves kinda smaller than the unprune ones.i hope i didn't make that long.i tend to do that. |

Market research firm Techaisle projects SMBs will buy some 3.6 million ultrabooks--the notebook's slimmer, younger sibling--in 2012, accounting for one in five of all PCs purchased by smaller companies this year. Its forecast excludes the Macbook Air from the category--noteworthy, among other reasons, because of the iPad's domination to date in the tablet market.
If you're inclined to doubt a significant boom in Windows-based ultrabooks, you're not without reason. Of the 1,000 or so U.S.-based SMBs (1-1,000 employees) that Techaisle surveyed at the end of 2011, just 23% were aware the form factor even existed. Yet Techaisle CEO Anurag Agrawal notes that nearly two-thirds of SMBs that do have ultrabooks on their radar plan to purchase them in the coming year. Among the factors driving their interest: Light weight, portability, battery life, instant-on boot times, and increased business functionality relative to tablets.
[ Learn more about the new ultrabook models. Read CES 2012 Preview: Ultrabooks Everywhere. ]
Some key things need to happen this year, though, to give way to the rise of the ultrabook inside SMBs. A 2012 release date for Windows 8 would help--Agrawal said the tablet-esque interface will be a good fit for ultrabook users and drive interest in the category. More importantly, costs must come down to shrink the current gap with notebook pricing. Some 62% of SMBs that intend to buy ultrabooks said they're waiting for prices to drop before placing an order.
"There's obviously the hiccup of the price, because at this point in time it is still a major issue," Agrawal said. "But by the looks of it, they do feel that ultrabooks would be an ideal replacement for the notebook."
Indeed, 51% of SMBs planning to buy ultrabooks view them as notebook replacements. Another interesting finding: 91% of SMBs with plans to add ultrabooks said they'd love the ability to run Android apps on the machines.
Techaisle's projection also banks on key manufacturers making ultrabook product announcements in the not-so-distant future. Agrawal notes that much of the non-Apple ultrabook activity to date has been driven by the likes of Acer and Asus, makers with little-to-no traction in the U.S. SMB market. "SMBs are waiting for the ultrabook announcements to come from Dell, HP, and Lenovo before they really start to go out and purchase this new form factor," Agrawal said.
Another dynamic at play: Smaller businesses that buy their computers at retail outlets like Fry's or Best Buy may start to hear more sales spiels for ultrabooks. Agrawal and his team recently visited those and other chains across the United States and found the volume of those pitches increasing. "In effect, these retail stores are also getting primed to gently nudge potential buyers toward an ultrabook," Agrawal.
Agrawal acknowledged there are other unknowns that could hinder adoption. A fine example: the firm's research found that many SMBs don't know that ultrabooks typically have solid-state drives with limited storage capacity. Buyers that want, say, a 250-GB hard drive, would stick with their notebooks or desktops. Nonetheless, Agrawal is confident in Techaisle's ultrabook projection, particularly when looking at how quickly SMBs took to tablets last year.
"If ultrabooks start to come down [in price], we'll reach these numbers quite quickly," Agrawal said, adding that lower costs will also spur consumerization. "A consumer is not really going to buy a $900 ultrabook and bring it to work when a laptop is available for $599. They'd rather invest their dollars in a tablet."
As already noted by InformationWeek's Thomas Claburn, "the year of the tablet" was really "the year of the iPad." Could the same become true for ultrabooks and Macbook Air?
"I don't think so," Agrawal said, pointing to the lion's share of SMBs that run on Windows and will want their ultrabooks to do the same. Sure, Mac offices and individual users will find a place for the Air. But budgets will, as always, be a decision-making force in the bigger picture.
"SMBs are a very price-conscious segment where the Macbook Air does not fit," Agrawal said. "It's not going to really establish itself and be as potent a force as iPad is."
According to our Outlook 2012 Survey, IT should expect soaring demand but cautious hiring as companies use technology to try to get closer to customers. Also in the new, all-digital issue of InformationWeek: Inside Windows Server 8. (Free registration required.)

Cactus Shadows' running back Nic Erickson got the job done on both sides of the ball Thursday night, rushing for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries while picking off two passes on defense to lead the Falcons to a 27-10 victory over visiting Greenway.
After going up 7-0 in the first quarter on a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bryce Kinsler to John Leonard, Erickson scored on a 6-yard run to put up 14-0 early.
A 3-yard Harrison Johnson touchdown run brought the Demons to within 7, but then Kinsler threw a 58-yard pass to Leonard, the longest of the game. That led to a 40-yard field goal by kicker Nick Miller, giving the Falcons a 17-10 halftime lead.
Erickson then scored on a 3-yard run in the third, while Miller connected on a 27-yard field goal to cap the scoring for Cactus Shadows.
Leonard finished the game with 11 catches for 171 yards and one touchdown, while Kinsler was 20-for-30 passing with 247 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Saguaro had four players finish in the top five, Thursday, including first place finisher Austin Colaric, as the Sabercats defeated host Coronado 168-193 at Papago Golf course in Phoenix.
Colaric shot a 4-over 40 for the day to finish one stroke ahead of second place finisher and teammate Travis Steinheiser.
Desert Ridge had two golfers tie for first place and two others tie for fourth as the Jaguars shot a team score of 152 to take first place in its match at Apache Creek Golf Club in Apache Junction.
Dylan Busch and Derek Moreira each shot two-over par to tie for first place. David Busch and Devon Ridd each finished with scores of 39 to tie for fourth place.
Apache Junction took second with a score of 167 followed by Combs (225) and South Mountain (260).
Cactus Shadows defeated visiting Apache Junction in straight sets to win its 4A-I Desert Sky region opener.
The Falcons beat the Prospectors 25-21, 25-16, 25-21.
Summer Anderson led the way for Cactus Shadows (3-1, 0-1) with 12 kills. Shan England added nine kills and four blocks, Carly Lenven finished with eight kills and three blocks and Jordan Smith had 18 digs.
The match marked the first loss of the season for Apache Junction as the Prospectors dropped to 3-1 overall and 0-1 in region play.

When you are in your sewing studio, do you prefer it to be so quiet that you can hear the proverbial pin drop?
Or do you like music while you work? What kind? How loud? Do you ever listen to books on tape? Do you have any recommendations for books on tape that others might enjoy? |

I like to have the TV running in the background with a program that's interesting but not so much that I can't ignore it. Old movies ore reruns work well for me. |
- Posted by scraphappy (My Page) on Wed, Aug 29, 07 at 11:58
I have my new CD player in there, but I've never turned it on while I sew. Go figure! DH, since he retired a year ago, has the TV on in another room constantly, which has taken some adjustment on my part, and I retreat to my "studio", preferring total quiet. I also need quiet when I read, so I've got several "nook and crannie" areas in the house to read in. It's kinda nice to be sewing away in the somewhat quiet sewing room, and just let my mind wander while I work. |
- Posted by cannahavana (My Page) on Wed, Aug 29, 07 at 12:45
If I am home alone, I listen to music. My computer is in the kitchen where I sew and will pop a cd in. When the family is home, the tv is usually running. I don't like total silence, then I have to listen to my own thoughts, LOL! I listen to whatever strikes my mood. Right now I am listening to Norah Jones. Rebecca |

When I was younger I liked to listen to music, but now days I prefer quiet.The sound of the sewing machine is all I need, and the quiet frees up my mind to design my next projects. I am setting up my new sewing room in three or four days,after dd gets her things all moved out,and its going to be my quiet little haven.(well, maybe, as baby Natty will probably be in her high chair or play pen watching Nana sew) |
- Posted by sew_self-taught (My Page) on Wed, Aug 29, 07 at 18:04
Funny you should ask. I usually like it quiet when I'm sewing. But yesterday I had a ton of yardage to press, (boring!) I popped in the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge. I was seriously into the music and dancing to one of the upbeat songs when DH came down the stairs and caught me, iron in hand, shaking my booty. LOL. It did make the pressing less monotonous. Nina |
Mostly, I prefer quiet. But sometimes I throw in Tina Turner or Michael Buble or Brian Adams if the mood so strikes and I'm alone. I do not like to have music on if there are other people around, not sure why. Faye |
It really depends on what I am doing. If I am sewing/cutting something that requires concentration I like quiet. If I am chain piecing, ironing, choosing fabrics, cutting basic shapes, ... I like music (online radio) which changes according to my mood (love Buffett and Buble, go figure), movies or tv, or audiobooks. beverly |

I want to hear my pin drop. |
I have always wanted something on like Rebecca but lately as Caroline said I've been in my sewing room for a while and realize I haven't turned the t.v. or music on. I like praise music and have a cd that my daughter and her friend made to give at a women's retreat that is one of my favorites. Of course, I'm only a little proud of her! Ha I also have a contempory christian music channel on cable that I listen to sometimes. Sometimes, I just let the t.v. play for noise. Guess it depends if I want to hear my thoughts or not. Ha Sally |
Hubby got me a bose a couple of years ago and I never really used it till I put it in my sewing room. I listen to music if that gets boring then I go to talk radio Politics which makes angry but I learned to try to keep up with what they are doing up there in D>C>. But I would like some good books on tape like mystery murder and mayhem. Nanci |

I have a Mitchell Gold simple slipper chair that I need to have recovered. I haven't ever done this before and would obviously like to find someone reasonable but also good at what they do. I can't imagine a simple slipper chair without any buttons, tacks, trim etc would be that much but my goal is to get a few different quotes.
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know the name of the place, but there is an upholsterer on Huff Road near Forsyth Fabrics and Lewis and Sharon Fabrics. I believe it is just a little bit down from Stanton Home furnishings and next to an art gallery. I asked them for a rough estimate to reupholster an antique settee with a tight back and no loose seat cushion and they said labor would be about $300. They do not sell upholstery fabric. I wish I could remember the name, but I was in the neighborhood and just stopped in one day. I saw a piece that they had just done, and the workmanship looked good. |

High Quality AA and AF
Our high quality tests let us separate the men from the boys and the ladies from the girls. If the cards weren't struggling before they will start to now.
When we move to our HQ tests we see again that the 7900GS lags behind.
Turning on the AA in Lost Coast we see that the 7950GT overclocked offers a playable setup while the others would be slightly arguable. Some would say you want to see an average of 50 others would say 30.
The 7900GT and 7950GS clearly fly ahead of the 7900GS when we turn on AA and AF in PREY.

Toy blocks were made to teach children about gravity and physics and how different parts can become a whole. Who would of thought that a simple wooden block could do so much.
Makes you wonder when the first wooden block was created doesn't it? Well in 1693, 17th century England, Alphabet Nursery Blocks were being developed and philosopher John Locke felt that play toys and dice with alphabets on them would make learning to read more enjoyable for children. The first mass production of blocks was started in Williamsburg Brooklyn by S. L. Hill in 1820.
Hmmm, on a lighter note…..I found these gorgeous blocks. Available through Tiny Giraffe on Etsy.

Poured through some old magazines and ran across this pattern for a Spring sign. It has hearts for Valentines, shamrocks for St. Paddy's Day, and a Bunny with decorated eggs for Easter. Just tickled my funny bone, so I had to paint one for me and hang it on my side yard gate. Luvs |

This is so cute, Luvs. It covers all the spring holidays and you painted it really well. The hearts remind me of "Dolly Parton Hearts". B |
Luvs~ that's a good one! It does cover it all. You did an excellent job on that lettering! That little bunny miss with her egg and shamrock bouquet is so cute! Great shading too. I saw a little online video on how to use a spray bottle to make dots of water, then you use the dots on your brush to do shading and I've been practicing that technique. Does anybody else use that? It works really well for me. Anyway, great job and I also like the color choice for the sign itself. ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 08 at 12:13
Glad you all enjoyed seeing her. I had never seen a pattern that had Valentine's, St. Pat's and Easter all in one--so I just had to make it! LOL Bebe, by Dolly Parton hearts, do you mean where you just make two dots side by side then pull to a point? I do those allot, but didn't this time since I had traced these on as part of the pattern. Anj, I got some new little liners, so it was pretty easy using them to straighten up the lines on my lettering this time. Wahoo! I love lettering on pieces, but NOT if I make it look messy. ;o( Luvs |

Rallying to save the souring seas and the Northwest's cherished oyster harvest
How 50-year-old carbon emissions came back to ravage Northwest shellfish, how scientists and hatcheries unraveled the mystery of acid upwellings, and how a clam farmer persuaded Gov. Gregoire and the Obama administration to take action, with a little help from Ron Sims.
On November 9, Ron Sims threw down a world-changing challenge to a hall packed with marine scientists, resource managers, environmentalists, and the odd oyster grower. Now, unlike most politicians' rhetorical flourishes, that challenge has born fruit.
The occasion was a first-ever Symposium on Ocean Acidification convened by Washington Sea Grant at the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture. The scientists explained what they'd uncovered about a threat that is both oceanic in scale and uniquely regional in character, which threatens the Northwest's cherished shellfish industry in the short run and the survival of the marine biosphere and all the terrestrial life that depends on it in the longer run.
"Okay, you've laid out the problem," exclaimed Sims, the former King County executive, who'd washed up back in Seattle after a stint in D.C. and resurfaced as a marine environmental statesman. "Now tell me what we can do!" Boil it down, he pled in his most plaintive preacher tones. Cut the fancy explanations and give us political and policy types concrete steps we can take to correct it.
Last Friday, an answer arrived. A who's who of state, federal, tribal, commercial, and scientific actors (and Ron Sims) gathered to begin hashing out a defense against an emerging threat most Americans probably haven't even heard of: global warming's evil twin, ocean acidification, OA for short. Gov. Chris Gregoire had chartered a new Blue Ribbon Panel on Ocean Acidification to sift a flood of new scientific data and real-world experience and distill a suite of concrete policy recommendations for surviving, mitigating, and preventing acidification.
That brief and the new panel's membership both recall the state's other marine environmental panel, the Puget Sound Partnership's Leadership Council. Sure enough, the Partnership's founding chair, William Ruckelshaus (also the founding administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a veteran of many other state, national, and international enviromental commissions) is once again lending his experience and gravitas as the acidification panel's co-chair. (Jay Manning, formerly Gregoire's chief of staff and state Department of Ecology director, is the other chair, and state Natural Resources Commissioner Peter Goldmark is an unofficial third.) But there's one key difference: Where the Partnership is an ongoing agency, attesting to the persistence of Puget Sound's pollution woes, the acidification panel has got a tight schedule and a short deadline: to assemble its findings and policy recommendations by July, and complete its report in September.
That schedule reflects the optimistic energy that customarily greets new challenges, before reality and inertia set in. It also suggests the sense of urgency attending on this particular challenge. The reason all this action is unfolding in the Northwest is that this is where acidification is. OA may be an exotic buzzword in the American heartland and a looming but still prospective threat in most of the world's seas. But it's a present danger out here — and in human society the canary that's feeling it first is an industry that's uniquely dear to politicians and hallowed in Northwest mythology: shellfish.
To understand why, it's necessary to consider, in broad outline, how acidification happens. (Caution: science alert.) The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, the gas produced when organic material, from coal to coffeecake, gets burned, digested, or broken down by bacteria, and which also happens to be the primary greenhouse gas in planetary warming. Phytoplankton draw it from the air, then die and sink to the bottom, and cold water can hold more CO2 than warm. So it collects in the frigid depths. Until quite recently this was widely seen as a free lunch: If we could just push more carbon down to the sea bottom, say by fertilizing massive plankton blooms, we could stave off global warming.
One problem with this geoengineering scheme: The carbon doesn't stay at the bottom. That cold, deep water wells back up along various coastlines, including the North Pacific and the similarly situated coasts of Peru, Chile, South Africa, and New Zealand. These nutrient-rich upwellings produce those regions' famously rich fisheries; thank them for your sardines and salmon. But they have a dark side as well. Carbon dioxide changes seawater chemistry, with dramatic effects on many living things.

Great article... And you say it so well.
"Stopping acidification will require the same simple, devilishly difficult measure as limiting greenhouse warming"
This just means - as with global warming - we are left with limited responses: adaptation and mitigation (and of course, suffering)
Posted Sat, Apr 7, 12:32 p.m.
"(Some South Sound waterfront residents — aghast at the unscenic proliferation of oyster bags, mussel rafts, and, especially, white PVC tubing planted like military graves to protect baby geoducks — and some green groups vehemently dispute shellfish farming's beneficent effects.)"
Reading the link, they are not just "aghast" at "unscenic prolifieration..." but the effects that poliferation has on the rest of the environment and ecology.

No amount of conferences will solve the OA problem: http://co2now.org/
The graph of steadily increasing CO2 on that page should be the background on every electronic screen on earth. Or maybe something like this: http://basictextures.com/wp-content/maxfreesize/stone-brick/stone-brick-wall-old-yellow-00380.jpg
Posted Sat, May 26, 11:23 a.m.
Great public relations piece. But before we congratulate ourselves and ask for more taxpayer dollars we'd better be sure what we've created isn't a large part of the problem: genetically modified non-native "Pacific" oysters; Willapa Bay requiring large scale spraying of chemicals to get rid of non-native species we introduced and native "pests" like ghost shrimp; a belief that shellfish farming will solve water quality problems which ignores the water quality problems industrial scale farming creates, hatchery based or otherwise; and, a decreasing population of wild geoduck through harvesting (both legal and illegal) which is now challenged to naturally rebuild itself. This problem is so large everyone will have to adapt - even if that means loosing the genetically modified non-native Pacific oyster.

Just starting to research new minivans. Have had a Buick Rendezvous for 6 years and dissapointed that it's probably not going to make 150,000 miles. There's 128,000 on it and I am sensing transmission problems.
Anyone have any words of wisdom and good reviews on the new minivans? I'm thinking of anything from Dodge Caravans, Kia, Hyundis, Toyotas. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ur Buick may be paid for? It might need a trans sensor replaced for 500 or a 2000 rebuild. Or the trans wiring might have a short and it is only an odd elec problem. So u want to spend 25k on new van? Even a new Honda or Toyota van can have mechanical issues. A man made part can fail on any brand. U want others to predict the future repair potential on ur new van? Good luck |
- Posted by neversink4 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 12 at 9:03
You are right on with the rebuild. I didn't get any replies here for a while so I posted on Household finances if you want to see replies. No one addressed the it from the direction you did. Thanks. How about those prices? What an investment! |
- Posted by christopherh (My Page) on Sat, Mar 10, 12 at 8:35
First, an automobile is the WORST "investment" you can make. You will ALWAYS lose monry. All of today's autos are designed to go 150,000 miles. Some die sooner, and some die later. But if you're considering a new minivan all of thgem are good veihicles. Honda and Toyota remain the most trouble free but the Chrysler ones are getting better all the time. Ford has gotten out of the minivan market but has the Ford Flex. A big, roomy wagon. But the Rendezvous isn't exactly a minivan. So if you're looking at something smaller I would also consider the Ford Edge. Light years ahead of your Buick. |
- Posted by mike_kaiser (My Page) on Sun, Mar 11, 12 at 23:51
The Rendezvous really isn't a mini-van, it's what's called a "crossover SUV" which is a way of saying a SUV built on a car chassis; in this case a shortened version of GM's U platform. Everybody has figured out that few SUV drivers actually need off-road capability so by building the vehicle on a car chassis, the best attributes of both can be combined. Lots of great choices out there in a CUV. |
Sorry I jumped all over you on money issues. U want new rig after 5-6 yrs. nothing wrong with that. We have equinox. Rides fine and can haul stuff. I had minivan before. Did not like boxy feel, poor handling sensation. U need to decide what type of rig u want. Any new rig has warranty. And all have similar resale so toss out money issue. |

The Wild Punch
Who hasn't wanted to punch a politician?
But a fracas in Athens, Greece, yesterday, demonstrates that punching people, not to mention threatening them with firearms, is a bad idea, and too often apt to harm the wrong people.
In this case, the pugilist, Giorgos Germenis, was himself something of a "wrong person." He's one of 18 lawmakers in the Greek parliament representing the Golden Dawn Party, which is often described as "neo-Nazi" for its ugly nationalist, anti-foreigner sentiment — and for an awfully suspicious party logo.
Germenis had been part of a charitable effort held in Syntagma Square to hand out free food . . . but only to Greek natives! The government shut down the giveaway, and the scuffle, hours later, was part of the fallout. Reportedly blocked from reaching for his gun by security, Germenis threw a punch at Athens's mayor, Giorgos Kaminis.
He missed the mayor, but hit a young girl.
Bruised, but not seriously hurt, the 12-year old did manage to escape becoming the centerpiece of the showdown between the anti-foreigner activists and the Athens City government.
Greece's troubles don't really have much to do with foreigners. Greek troubles, instead, have everything to do with Greek politicians, and the sad, once politically attractive but now quite bankrupt (fiscally and morally) habit of trying to live at the expense of everyone else.
Blaming foreigners is the wrong way out. (Here in America, too.)
Germenis's group should have been allowed to give only to natives, but a hallmark of civilization is the respect for strangers, traders, wanderers. The Golden Dawners don't have their hearts in the right place.
Which is shown by the wild punch and who it hit. An innocent. As usual.
This Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Editorial Reviews for Dom Serene Pn Oregon
Tight on the nose with almond shell top notes and slow to emerge raspberry, sour cherry and cranberry fruit topped with hints of candied orange. Very elegant if a touch tight on entry, this quickly shows a bit of nutty oak along with a focused core of small, sour red fruits framed with dried spice notes. The wood tannins arrive on the mid-palate to tighten things up and accentuate a bit of wood spice that flows onto the finish, which is almost peppery and long with wild red berry fruits. The oak is a bit prominent here both texturally and in terms of flavor, but the underlying wine should emerge intact after a year or two in the cellar. 91pts
There's some obvious oak on the nose here along with a creamy base note upon which aromas of green apples, tart citrus and earthy nutty tones are layered. This is fabulous int he mouth with a great burst of ripe yet fresh fruit framed out with a bit of toasty and buttery oak but the wine remains bright, tense and light on its feet in the mouth. The wood treatment is well balanced for the fresh fruit with the tartness and slight hardness of the wine well balanced by the softening effects of the wood. Should improve over the short term at least but shows a fine synthesis of old world technique with new world fruit. 93pts

The Serene 2009 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvée offers sweeter red berry flavors than does the corresponding 2010, with brown spice accents and nicely integrated tannic chew. Pure-fruited and with ample finishing juiciness, this betrays none of its vintage's weak sides and ought to drink well for another several years.
Firm in texture, featuring mildly chewy tannins around the butterscotch-accented blackberry flavors. Finishes with refinement. Best from 2013 through 2017. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Sometimes in a challenging vintage such as 2009, it is the least expensive, blended wines that benefit most, perhaps because grapes normally destined for the single-vineyard wines are redirected. Here, rich fruit flavors highlighted with streaks of caramel and toffee get things rolling quickly. Berries and cherries, firm acids, pretty spice and a lingering butterscotch finish.

A singer marries a famous composer, and after a while she gets the itch to go back on the stage. However, her husband won't let her. When she hears that a popular French singer named "Raquel" is coming to New York, she decides to go to Raquel with a plan--unbeknownst to her husband, "Raquel" is actually her sister, and her plan is for them to switch places so she can fulfill her dream of going back on the stage. However, things don't go quite as planned.
