Today I discovered and immediately followed @HockeyPets on Twitter, because as those who follow my feed know, I'm an unabashed lover of animals. Most people assume it's just cats, given that I tweet about them constantly, but no-no, friends: animals. Those are my boys above, helping me work.
@HockeyPets is the short for for their excellent Tumblr, Hockey Players with Pets (and other animals). And hey, don't know if this made it across your desk yet, but the NHL has locked out the players, so you're going to need some distraction now and again.
I perused the site for as long as it's acceptable to at work and came up with the 10 most notable pics for us to discuss, but if you want more (and you will), seriously, check out the site. You know what they say, "Animals are way awesomer than humans." "They" talk funny.

Outer Planets
Jupiter. Saturn. Uranus. Neptune. Each of these giant planets is the center of its own miniature solar system. Each is spectacularly beautiful and scientifically fascinating, which are reasons enough to explore them. But by studying the giant planets and their rings and moons, we can also learn about the forces that operated during the formation of our own solar system, as well as the origins of the hundreds of new extrasolar planetary systems that we discover every year.
And their moons are worlds in their own right. There are at least 16 outer planetary moons that would be called dwarf planets if they orbited the Sun rather than a planet. Two (Jupiter's Ganymede and Saturn's Titan) are larger than the planet Mercury, and one (Triton) is probably a captured Kuiper belt object.
But it is challenging and expensive to explore the outer planets, and missions to the outer planets take a very long time to develop, fly, and operate. Cassini will be orbiting Saturn until 2017, and Juno will operate at Jupiter from 2016 to 2017. After that, it's not clear if anyone will be sending a followup mission to Saturn or Jupiter or its moons, or an orbiter to survey the Uranus or Neptune systems. And there is a critical shortage of the isotope of plutonium that is needed to generate power for outer planetary missions.

A Voyager 1 anniversary mosaic
Posted by Björn Jónsson on 2012/09/06 11:58 CDT
Back in 1979 the twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft flew by Jupiter. Some of their images were processed into color images and mosaics that have appeared countless times in books, magazines, on TV and on the Internet. Many of these images and mosaics are spectacular but they were processed more than 30 years ago using computers that are extremely primitive by today's standards. It's possible to get better results by processing the original, raw images from the Voyagers using modern computers and software.

Visit Comacchio
The town of Comacchi is situated on the Po Delta, on the eastern coast of Emilia Romagna and north of Ravenna.
Comacchio is a beautiful 'town' that has developed across a number of islands in the Po Delta, now joined by bridges, and an attractive place where tourists can admire impresive buildings and numerous churches.
Explore Comacchio
Your visit to Comacchio can begin by following the path of the Canale Maggiore, which is marked by some fairly important architectural monuments - starting with two bridges, the Bridge of St. Peter and the so-called 'Prison Bridge'.
From the top of the bridges you can admire the beautiful neo-classical façade of the 1770 San Camillo Hospital (designed by Antonio Foschini ). The palace, designed as a hospital for the poor, is fascinating: the facade reminds us of a Greek temple, with Ionic columns and two slender towers on either side.
Close to here you can also see the Bellini Palace, in warm brick tones and now home to the Public Library and Comacchio City Gallery.
Continuing towards the Piazza Maggiore there are two buildings that are striking for their elegance and beauty: the Loggia dei Mercanti with its beautiful porch dates from 1621 and was once the the public granary of the city; and the octagonal Clock Tower, rebuilt in the first half of the 19th century.
Further along the Canale Maggiore you come to the 17th century Carmine Church and the Church of the Rosary with a brick façade and portal stone, and quite spectacular because of the reflected light of the brick of both the Church and of the bell tower.
The interior has one nave and four side chapels, and some interesting 16th - 17th century paintings such as the Annunciation by Jacopo Bambini, the Beheading of St. John by Carlo Bononi , and the Virgin of the Rosary, by the local painter Cesare Mezzogori.
Also interesting in this part of Maggiore is the fish-market (Pescheria), with its open-air fish market trading on benches of stone and marble.
Nearby is the most beautiful bridge of the many to be found in Comacchio. The Trepponti bridge, built in brick and stone from Istria in 1634 by Luca Danesi (who is also responsible for the so-called Ponte degli Sbirri and uses extraordinary architectural skill to link four waterways in a structure of great compositional harmony - there are five arches, meeting from opposite directions, under which passed the waterways of the city.
Returning to Piazza Maggiore, to the west you can see the Cathedral of St. Cassiano, begun in the mid-17th Century, with one nave and several side chapels, and dedicated to the patron saint of the city.
Next to the cathedral are the magnificent Bell Tower, with a base of Istrian stone, and the 17th century Loggiato dei Cappuccini (Capuchin Portico), with more than 140 arches which continue to the Shrine of St Mary.
Attractions nearby
If you are looking to have a picnic in Comacchio travel along the Romea road to the nearby 9th century Pomposa Abbey. The abbey church has a basilica structure and was an important religious and cultural centre during the Italian Middle Ages.
Next to the basilica is the extraordinary and very tall bell tower dating from 1063 and with a a series of mullioned and four-trefoils windows.

UW: We're Number 5!
The University of Washington — No. 41 in the latest rankings by U.S. News & World Report — has come in at No. 5 on SmartMoney's list of Colleges That Pay Off, just behind the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, the University of Texas at Austin, and No. 1 Texas A&M. In comparison, the top five schools according to U.S. News are Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, and Stanford. The first of those to appear on SmartMoney's combined list (not available online) is Princeton, at No. 20. Why the disparity?
The answer: differing goals and methodologies. While U.S. News attempts, not without some controversy, to "judge the relative quality of institutions based on widely accepted indicators of excellence," SmartMoney is naturally more interested in the almighty dollar. They set out to "quantify the long-term value of a college education... [and] spotlight the relationship between tuition costs and graduates' earning power." To do this, they took graduates' median salaries three and 15 years after graduation, divided those by the cost of a four-year degree in 2005 and 1993, and averaged the totals.
The UW, with median salaries of $48,800 (for recent grads) and $85,300 (for 1990s alums) and tuition figures of $62,632 and $22,935, respectively, comes in at an "average payback" of 225 percent. (Texas A&M tops the list at 315 percent, while Princeton, with a BA running $111,840, has a figure of 132 percent.) The schools boasting six-figure tuition bills, argues SmartMoney, don't deliver more bang for that buck. Some less expensive schools such as UW offer better payback. "For parents fretting about sending their kid to the University of Washington versus, say, Columbia or Brown, they can rest easier knowing that Husky alums recoup their tuition costs, on average, twice as fast as grads from those two Ivies."
Things aren't quite that simple, of course, as SmartMoney acknowledges. Salary figures were calculated only for those who stopped after earning their bachelor's degrees, eliminating those with professional, master's, and doctoral degrees from the statistics. But in 2004, holders of advanced degrees made up 9.4 percent of the population — 19.3 percent in Seattle, the second-highest in the nation. These figures are missing quite a lot of doctors', lawyers', scientists', and professors' salaries. In addition, few pay the full stated tuition. Nearly three quarters of private-school undergraduates received grants and scholarships in 2004, while many public schools not only offer aid, but also heavy discounts to state residents. (This year's UW tuition is $23,219 for non-residents but only $6,802 for the 81.5 percent of students who are Washingtonians.) Not only that, but while Huskies' "payback ratio" may be higher, their 15-year median salary is still just 64 percent of Dartmouth grads' $134,000.
Comments on the SmartMoney rankings quickly degenerated into a fight about the relative merits of the University of Rhode Island, and whether the story should even have been written in the first place, as SmartMoney is, according to one reader, a "magazine where 99.9 percent of the readers will not get accepted to the very schools they say are not worth the money."
However, others offered good points. Two readers ran the numbers but came to different conclusions. One compared the total future salary earned by a graduate of the University of Georgia to that earned by a graduate of Harvard, factoring in the initial savings in tuition and assuming a 12 percent yearly market return on that sum (which sounds a bit ambitious these days, I'll admit). By his calculations, the Crimson beat the Bulldogs for the first quarter century or so, but that after that, Georgia steadily overtakes Harvard.
The other reader, who is "very disappointed" in this, his first issue of SmartMoney, notes that "rate of return is only a useful measure if your investment size is scalable ('I'll take 4 Univ. of Georgia please!')," and gives the edge to Harvard almost from the get-go. The Bulldog saves on tuition, but "one needs to include the investment of the Harvard grad's higher income... you'll find that the Harvard grad's additional invested income has caught and passed the UGA grad's $50k investment by the fourth year." This, of course, assumes both the tuition savings and the extra income are both being invested in full, which is unlikely.

I suspect most peopole knowledgeable about higher education would put the UW in the top-third of public universities--not as strong as Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Madison or Chapel Hill, for instance, but certainly stronger than most PAC-10 colleges. It certainly lags behind the major private universities.
The UW itself often cites earnings as a measure of graduates' success. But
higher education, last time I looked, was about more than earnings. The UW
is strong in scientific and technical fields and some of its grad schools are good. But upper-campus, liberal-arts programs appear at least a notch behind those of public-university competitors. Faculty there are comparatively underpaid and dean and faculty vacancies remain unfilled.
As a loyal UW alum, I would like to see my alma mater rank high not only among public but private universities. The US News ratings, imperfect as they are, provide a much better measure of overall excellence than do those from SmartMoney.
Posted Wed, Jan 7, 9:01 a.m.
Having transferred into the UW from a small, residential, liberal arts college there is definitely something to say for smaller institutions.
A real community is a big part of it - and that reflects on the intellectual advancement as well. In a small institution you are much more likely to make aquaintance with others in different fields - true diversity, if you will. This cultural experience synergizes well with the broader goals of a liberal arts education.
At the UW the community is ruled by special interest politics - for all the soapboxing about cultural diversity the sad fact is that folks are much more likely to 'fraternize' within their own groups than at a smaller institution.
Specialized instruction is important to a career, but to a life well lived nothing matures sweeter than social life of the mind fostered at a small liberal arts school.
Posted Wed, Jan 7, 12:29 p.m.
This whole analysis assumes that students attending Ivy League schools pay the full tuition, board and room rate, very few do. Many middle class families would find it cheaper to send their child to Harvard than the UW. Quoted below are the key parameters of Harvard's financial aid packages for undergraduates: "The "Zero to 10 Percent Standard": Harvard's new financial aid policy dramatically reduces the amount families with incomes below $180,000 will be expected to pay. Families with incomes above $120,000 and below $180,000 and with assets typical for these income levels will be asked to pay 10 percent of their incomes. For those with incomes below $120,000, the family contribution percentage will decline steadily from 10 percent, reaching zero for those with incomes at $60,000 and below. For example, a typical family making $120,000 will be asked to pay approximately $12,000 for a child to attend Harvard. No Loans: In calculating the financial aid packages offered to undergraduates, Harvard will not expect students to take out loans. Loan funds will be replaced by increased grants from the University. Of course, students will be permitted to cover their reduced cost of attendance through loans if they wish."
I would say the Smart Money analysis is nonsense.
Posted Mon, Jan 12, 12:23 a.m.
The relative rate of return is completely useless as a measure if the amount of the initial investment varies.
Think about it, which was the better decision?
a) Invest $1 with a return of 2000% for a $19 profit
b) Invest $10,000 with a return of 1000% for a $90,000 profit
SmartMoney picks a).
Smart people pick b).

Chip-free "Nachos" with Chili-Lime Chicken and Guacamole Recipe
I shuffled through the wet slush to the bus stop outside of the large brick classroom building on campus, following behind the backpacks of my classmates Drew and Norman. The three of us were the only representatives of the nutrition graduate program in a biostatistics class 100 strong, so we stuck together. Drew and Norman were going over the problems on a quiz we had just taken. I suddenly felt really hungry, and so I reached into my bag and pulled out a giant carrot, whole and unpeeled, and snapped off the end with my teeth. Drew stopped what he was saying mid-sentence, and both he and Norman turned wide eyed toward me. "you are just going to eat a carrot, just like that?" it never struck me as odd to snack on a carrot, but suddenly I felt a little embarrassed.
Why is it that certain types of raw produce are deemed acceptable to eat whole, but not others?
In truth, I eat many vegetables whole and raw. There is something deliciously satisfying about the sweet, watery crunch of biting into a red pepper. The smooth soft kiss of a tomato against my lips, and the wonderful garden smell that it brings, is worth the sideways glances of my coworkers as they dig into their lean cuisines. Some drive around with French cigarettes between their fingers, I prefer Persian cucumbers. Is it any wonder that I feel perplexed when people say things like "I would love to eat more vegetables, but I don't have the time to prepare them".
Here is what I brought for lunch today. The cucumber, pepper, and apple I devoured raw. The ground beef was leftover from dinner the other night, and I heated it up on top of the mushroom in the microwave (not ideal, but delicious just the same!) Note the fashionable "hopefulls" lunch bag in the back. The Hopefull company is the brain child of two of my friends. They are selling whole foods recipes and popsicle molds for cancer patients, people with dysphagia or otherwise having difficulty eating. Hopefulls make great post WOD (workout) recovery treats, and many of the recipes are paleo.
I underestimated how hungry I would be from my morning run, so I stopped on the way home for a lara bar
and some bison jerky.I washed it all down with a delicious bottle of coconut water. For dinner we had chip free "nachos" with chili-lime-cilantro chicken and guacamole (also pictured at the beginning of this post). The onions and chicken were fried in coconut oil, which gave the whole thing an amazingly delicious flavor. I will post the recipe under the "paleo recipes" tab above.

I also bought the Grafitti bulbs in three from gardenimports, the very same has happened with mine. They opened all at the same time pretty much and there are two that have the red streaks but then one is just a very nice green. i was going to call because i was sure that the green one is mislabled and not some variation in the three bulbs. now with yours having the smae issues I am going to call for sure. I just planted the cupido so i will have to wait and see on that one. |

It could be Bellisimo. The veining on Cupido is more distinctive than Bellisimo. And the stamen on Cupido is pink, on Bellisimo it is white. I think that photo you posted should have a white background instead of grey; meaning they darkened the picture or super-saturated the color. I found a S. A. gardener's website/album below and he has his own pictures of both listed next to each other. Take a look. Click on the thumbnails to see several large pics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Be-amazed Flower Album
Your photo of Cupido looks rather like my Cupido! I received my little bulb a couple of years ago... Very lovely pictures, Anna! I don't know for certain, though... do we both have the real Cupido? Do I have the real Cupido? |

Media Encoding
For this test we used Cyberlink Power Producer in conjunction with DIVX 6.0 Pro to encode "The Matrix" MPEG2 down to a MPEG-4 high resolution video file.
The Cyberlink software comes with its own time clock to indicate the time taken to encode the movie as well as average CPU usage and average FPS during the encode. We used DIVX 6.0 due to its support for Dual Core CPUs as well as Intel SSE3 and Hyper Threading.
Here we see that the Dothan's core is behind both the AMD K8 and the Netburst systems when it comes to media encoding.
UPDATE ON OVERCLOCKING Overclocking the CPU makes quite a bit of improvement to the media encoding results.

We're approaching the end of June, so that means that we're almost half a year away from our New Year's Resolutions. How have your goals held up this year?
by Aby Garvey
I don't know about you, but every January I get the itch to declutter. Do you get this itch, too? Maybe it's the fact that our homes are overstuffed with new things, or maybe it's just a nice way to welcome in the New Year-with a cleaner slate and a bit of breathing room. Regardless of the motivator, decluttering is a terrific way to welcome the year, especially when you declutter with intention and purpose. In other words, when you identify something new that you want to create in the year ahead and let go of something old to support your desire, you create space for change. You also solidify your intention to make it happen.
Ah, the great tradition of making resolutions. If someone else told you to change everything about yourself in a week, you would laugh. But when you make your own list, you end up disappointed when you can't change everything at once. To keep your spirits up, lay out each goal in depth and spend three weeks implementing one goal before moving on to the next one.

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2012! We're excited for a fresh new year, and the natural propensity that comes with it to set some goals and make some changes. There's a reason why January is National Get Organized Month; the turn of the year is the perfect time to make some meaningful progress towards putting things in order. Perhaps like many, you've rededicated yourself to "get organized" this year. That's great, but what does that mean, and where do you start?

L-Carnitine is a rising star in the natural health industry. Modern medicine has used it in IV form for years. In natural medicine, it is just hitting its stride. What is it, though? L-Carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and is needed to release energy from fat. It is important in many biological functions, including the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria (the power factory of your cells). L-Carnitine is found in dairy and red meats. Because this is the main dietary source, some vegetarians may require supplementation with L-Carnitine to help maintain good health.As a supplement, L-Carnitine is taken for many health challenges, including: chronic fatigue, diabetes, weight loss, cholesterol, heart disease, infertility, and a host of other health issues.
L-Carnitine seems most effective in supporting heart health, fatigue, athletic performance and recovery, male infertility, and weight loss.
Regarding heart health, science has shown L-Carnitine to have a positive effect on the heart muscle and beat. It is also helpful in maintaining healthy triglycerides and cholesterol. This combination provides a multi-faceted approach to cardiovascular health.
Now that obesity is considered a disease, modern medicine is looking for more cutting-edge approaches (without harmful side effects) to promoting weight loss. L-Carnitine may be the solution we are looking for. Studies in adolescents have shown that L-Carnitine supplementation promotes weight loss and decreases body fat content. When used in conjunction with proper diet and activity, it showed even greater effects on body weight, LDL, blood sugar, and blood pressure.
Until recently, L-Carnitine was either considered a heart healthy supplement or for use in athletes. Athletes now have even more reason to use L-Carnitine. Recent studies show that supplementing with L-Carnitine before and during exercise will reduce muscle soreness, reduce fatigue, and help improve recovery times from high intensity exercise. Some of these effects may be attributed to the increased blood flow that can accompany L-Carnitine use. Decreased fatigue and muscle soreness may also be from the ability of L-Carnitine to decrease lactic acid accumulation and spare glycogen breakdown.
L-Carnitine has shown to be helpful for men with infertility problems. It plays an important roll in increasing sperm count, concentration, and percent sperm motility. I now recommend this as part of a couple's infertility program.
Finally, when purchasing a supplement of L-Carnitine, you need to make sure you find one with the L-form only. In nature, there are D and L forms of Carnitine. The D-carnitine form is not generally recognized as safe and is considered to be biologically inactive. Products like L-Carnipure® will accomplish this goal. If you aren't sure you are purchasing the L-form only, spin the bottle and read the supplement facts panel and ingredient list. If it says L-Carnitine, you are getting the right product. If it says D-Carnitine or D, L-Carnitine you are not getting what I recommend.As with anything, education goes a long way, so take advantage of resources that will arm you with the knowledge you need to make healthy choices.

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 Jonathon!
Facts about Jonathon
- Breed: Maltese Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Jonathon's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Jonathon is a very loving, young male Maltese, about 1 ½ years of age. He was acquired from a Southern CA shelter. This little guy is a total "love bug" as he is so happy when he can snuggle close to his foster mom and dad. This very mellow little, 6 ½ lb. Maltese, gets along with other small dogs and enjoys going for walks. He is most happy and content when he can be near his family.
His foster mom noticed that Jonathon was reluctant to use his left rear leg when he walked fast or ran. Jonathon was examined by a vet and x-rays determined he had a hip problem that could be corrected with surgery. A month ago Jonathon had surgery to fix his hip, and he has been released by his surgeon to continue his rehab exercises.
Although Jonathon is not quite ready for adoption, he will be at the Irvine Petco this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, June 29th
Other Pets at American Maltese Assoc. Rescue--Southern California
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jonathon, a Ft. Bragg Maltese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maltese for sale in Ft. Bragg, or seeking a Maltese dog from a breeder in Ft. Bragg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ft. Bragg 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 Ft. Bragg 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 Maltese breeders who help with Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ft. Bragg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Make a hexagonal-shaped box in several sizes, plain or decorated with stars. These boxes may be used as gift boxes, boxes to store trinkets, party or wedding favors, or as decorative accents in your home.
Three of the boxes are sized to make into a stack and can be nested together for storage. All of the hexagonal boxes are collapsible and store flat.
Related craft: For more collapsible box patterns, checkout the Little Gift Boxes craft project and for rectangular or square shapes see the Collapsible Boxes project.
Choose a box to make. Download and print the pattern. The boxes come in four sizes with four versions of each size—plain colored, plain black&white, colored with stars and black&white with stars.
Patterns are Adobe PDF files. The Adobe Reader is available for free.
All of Aunt Annie's project patterns are designed to be printed on standard letter-size paper (8.5"x11" or A4). When printing from Adobe Reader, you may need to select Auto-Rotate and Center or Choose paper source by PDF page size to ensure the best fit.
Cut out the box pattern on the black outline. Try to make the cuts very straight. The box will be stronger and go together better if the cuts are straight.
Using a straight edge and craft knife will make some of the cutting easier, but be sure to protect the table with a cutting mat or thick piece of cardboard. Caution: Be careful. Craft knives are sharp and should not be used by children.
Tip: Always cut towards an inside corner. Cut one edge leading into an inside corner, then cut the other edge. Do not try to turn the corner and cut out after cutting in on the first edge.
Turn the box with the marked lines up. Score along each of the fold lines, red in this illustration, using a bone folder or empty ballpoint pen drawn along the edge of a ruler.
Fold the box lids, lid flaps, and box flaps on the fold lines. Flatten the box out again.
Fold the glue tab on the black line, then flatten it. Fold each side on the black line, then flatten it.
Tip: Make all of the folds very sharp by running your thumbnail or a bone folder firmly along the fold.
Put glue down the entire length of the glue tab. Shape the sides into a hexagonal shape and glue the tab to the inside of the last side.
To finish the box, fold the bottom flaps in and close the bottom lid over them. Tuck the bottom lid's flap inside the box. Repeat for the top lid.
Tip: You might decorate a plain box by gluing craft ribbon in a band around the sides or by lining the inside of the box.
Tip: To make the box stronger, cut a piece of heavy cardboard the size of the bottom of the box. Put the cardboard in the bottom of the box. Or, you can make the box stronger by gluing the bottom flaps to the bottom lid, and gluing the bottom lid flap inside the box. If you do this, your box will not be collapsible.
Bonus Patterns
Make these bonus boxes using the
Adinkra Hexagon Box and
Adinkra Small Hexagon Boxes patterns. You can make
coordinating boxes, cards and tags with Aunt Annie's
Adinkra Symbols ePaper
Nesting boxes: The box patterns come in four sizes,
including three that nest together or make a pretty stack.
Tip: The hexagon boxes are collapsible and store flat.
Tip: Make the boxes using decorative cardstock. Print
one of
Aunt Annie's ePapers onto white cardstock then print the
box pattern on the other side.
Tip: Charms like, the little heart on the pink polka-dot boxes, can be made easily with Aunt Annie's Modeling Dough.
Tip: Plain boxes can be easily decorated with ribbon
wrapped around the sides—spread a thin coating of white (PVA) glue
on the back of the ribbon with a foam brush. This box's lid is
decorated with
Tip: See the Collapsible Boxes craft project for more printable box patterns.

Tip: Make a box to store your
Hexa-hexaflexagons or to give
flexagons as a gift.
Download and print the Flexagon Hexagon Box pattern and make the box following the instructions in this craft project.

Does anyone remember an arbor or trellis made from a papasan chair? I would like to make one now that I have an extra chair and i don't remember how to make it. thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have sees a papasan chair made into a planter of which I salvaged one from the dumpster for just such as that but so far it hasn't been planted yet.Maybe some others can help you with that.Have you typed in "papasan chair' on here to see what it pulls up? |
I think I remember that, wasn't it a bright blue? The one I remember was on a simple wooden frame (4 corner posts and a wood "X" connecting the tops of the posts). The round chair thing was inverted and placed/attached as the roof? The vines climbed up the corner posts and grew all over the top. Is that the one? I saw that just after I sold my own papasan. g-r-r-r I saw something similar that had sheer drapery panels hanging down from the edges of the 'roof'. It was like an intimate little seating area. Cute!! One idea I had was to staple that Hawaiian grass skirt material that comes on a 10 foot roll and attach it, round and round, to the roof to make a thatched-roof palapa. |
ooh!!! keep the ideas coming!! I may come into possession of a couple of papasan chairs in the near future! |
Here is a pic of my planter that I made from an old Papsan Chair. I can't wait for it to fill out! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Papsan Planter

I had saved this to "my clippings" about papsan chair planter...if you click on this link, then the link in kat-wa post (2nd one down), you're get a tutorial ... can click on continue to next pg., etc. They are pretty cool. Sorry can't help you with the arbor one...must have missed that. Jeanne S. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Papasan chair planter
That's the tutorial I used to make mine! I was looking for trellis ideas and found the planter idea and went with that instead. My papasan chair has the coolest spiral pattern. It's too bad the dirt hides it... |
I think it has been decided, my daughter and I are going to plant a fairy garden in one of them!! I'm very excited now!! I was going to try to make a hypertufa container, but this will save me some time. |
- Posted by luvs2click 5 Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Jun 15, 10 at 21:50
Someone on the board mentioned awhile ago about lining it with landscape fabric, filling it with dirt and planting it with lettuces, etc. like a big salad bowl. Then placing a giant fork and spoon in it - the ones you see in thrift shops that used to hang on people's walls in the 1980's. I always thought that was a cool idea! Arlene |

Rayleigh scattering
Ray·leigh scattering
noun \ˈrā-lē-\Definition of RAYLEIGH SCATTERING
: scattering of light by particles small enough to render the effect selective so that different colors are deflected through different angles
Origin of RAYLEIGH SCATTERING
John W. S. Rayleigh
First Known Use: 1937
Rayleigh scattering
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Dispersion of electromagnetic radiation by particles with radii less than the wavelength of the radiation. It is named for Baron Rayleigh, who described it in 1871. Since blue light is at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, it is scattered in the atmosphere much more than the longer-wavelength red light. This causes the blue colour of the sky, since the observer sees only the scattered light. The Rayleigh laws predict the variation of the intensity and the polarization of scattered light.

Final Thoughts
The first thing that has to be brought up about the Z77 Pro3 is the look of the board. It's not a good looking board when it comes to the color combination; it follows that typical color scheme we're used to seeing when it comes to cheaper motherboards. Avoiding the fancy colors and such, though, are what helps keep the price of this board down so low.
At the $94.99 price point, there's so little that we can complain about when it comes to this board. Sure it lacks in a lot of areas - no mSATA, the second PCIe x16 slot is wired at x4 only, total of six SATA ports, less connectivity options in the I/O department and an overall fairly small bundle.
At the same time a lot of what the board offers is more than enough for people as we've got a single PCIe x16 slot, two USB 3.0, two SATA III ports and Gigabit networking to name just a few of the main features. If you want to get a motherboard for under $100, then you're certainly going to lose some features, the good news is they might be features that you didn't even need in the first place.
Out of the box performance is also very strong and you see it lines up with the more expensive Z77 Extreme6 and while overclocking performance isn't as strong, 4.6GHz out of a motherboard at this price point continues to be very impressive and goes to show the overall quality of what ASRock offers us even when on a budget.
If you're happy to spend more or need some more features ASRock can no doubt help you with that via some of their other models. On the other hand if you're just looking for a solid performing board that comes in at a really strong price point and works extremely well, the Z77 Pro3 and its $94.99 price tag could well be the board that you've been wanting that won't hurt your bank account balance too much.

It may sound counterintuitive, but you don't necessarily need sunlight to achieve sun-kissed skin. Just ask the folks at Broad Ripple Tans, who?use both traditional tanning beds and a specially formulated airbrush spray to imbue skin with rich, bronze color. But a great tan doesn't stop there. They also stock a wide range of moisturizing lotions to help you maintain your color and grease up that squeaky bike chain.

On average, IndyHumane spends $600–$800 to care for each animal in its shelter, and in 2010, it cared for more than 6,000 animals. Although the shelter does not euthanize animals because of time or space, its limited food, medical, and staff resources constrain the number of animals it can accept. The Humane Society of Indianapolis relies on contributions, grants, and adoption fees to fund the services it provides.
FACE Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic was founded in 1999 to help reduce the overpopulation of cats and dogs in the region through humane methods. It treats about 600 cats and dogs every week with spay or neuter and vaccination treatments. IndyFeral, a FACE program, works to reduce the feral-cat population in the region using a combination of trap-and-release and traditional sterilization services. The program treats incoming animals and marks them with ear tipping so that local shelters do not pick them up. Then, the organization's foster-care program helps ensure that kittens will not be subjected to the disease or dangerous conditions sometimes associated with shelters. Veterinarians vaccinate and treat incoming litters and place them in responsible foster homes where they can thrive while awaiting permanent adoption.

Fetch Dog Resort's team of professional trainers and dog groomers accommodates all classes of canines within the 2,500-square-foot resort and grooming spa. Pawed patrons can get refreshed with natural Happy Tails spa products in a deluxe bubble bath and be treated for dry skin, cracked noses, and peanut-butter addictions. Alternatively, dogs can frolic amid up to 30 of their peers in an expansive playroom as certified trainers look on. A separate area for small dogs keeps them protected, and a tasty midday snack keeps boarders from growing hungry. During overnight boarding, dogs lay to rest in spacious suites, crates, or cageless boarding facilities. The staff indulges dogs with frequent bathroom walks and attention.

Interactive Intelligence White Paper Outlines Success in Business Process Automation
August 17, 2010
Over the years, a number of different work processes were created and put in place to try and help drive efficient operations within the enterprise. One contemporary approach is that of business process automation (BPA). This approach employs technology to execute business processes in real-time to achieve efficiencies as a result of automating specific parts of that process.
The key to driving success with business process automation is to select the right solution to fit the unique needs of a specific business. To make the right choice for the business, the successful BPA initiative relies on the strategic focus on five key considerations: alignment with clear business objectives, getting the right people involved; automating the right processes; using the right technology; and supporting the quick win and continuous improvement initiatives.
A recent Interactive Intelligence white paper, A Practical Guide to Automating Key Business Processes, focuses on these five considerations. Let's take a closer look at each one and how you can make BPA work within your environment.
An ideal business process automation implementation should be driven by well-defined business objectives. High level objects could easily focus exclusively on cost reduction or cost containment. Under the right circumstances, these objectives may also focus on increasing the potential of generating revenue. In all, the improvements in process efficiency should translate into a quantifiable return on investment (ROI).
The successful BPA deployment also relies on getting the right people involved. A process change is likely to fail if stakeholders do not support the changes. It is essential to have IT management on board with the BPA technology, as well as business owner buy-in. An executive sponsor for the business process automation implementation is also an important move, as is the involvement of the end-users.
Making an implementation that will automate processes requires the correct identification of the processes that should be automated. The real challenge in today's business environment is improving the processes that involve people, making it important to identify the good fit to ensure the promised efficiency gains are actually realized. Industry-specific processes are ideal for BPA, as well as multi-step, people-centric processes.
In BPA implementation, it is important to start small and grow over time. BPA can have such a significant impact on process efficiencies that it may be important to focus on specific, mission-critical business processes. It is important to remember that the more complex the process, the more complex, costly and time-consuming the implementation. More manageable processes are a better place to start.
Finally, selecting the right technology is essential for the successful BPA implementation. It is no longer viable to take several years to implement and realize a return on investment in technology. To truly drive success, the BPA technology should support the other key considerations discussed here and offer proven capabilities that make people more effective in their jobs and the way their tasks interact with other people, processes and the enterprise as a whole.

OK, I give up. I have a local reputation for being knowledgable about succulents, but sempervivums I invariably kill. Oh, they do OK in the winter, but when summer comes, they always die. I know that some others keep them alive but I do not know the secret! I have tried keeping them dry, keeping them in the shade, and keeping them in the sun. What's the secret? I do use a fast draining soil. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You DO know that the 'hens' die not too long after flowering, right? All of those little ones are the next generation. They've been happiest, for me, in full sun, and I grow them in our red clay. It does drain well, however, but I've not amended it with much of anything. Occasionally, I kidnap a few of the chicks to pot up in very gritty mix composed largely of granite chicken grit (or it might be turkey grit), Turface, and pine bark fines. Any that might be containerized stay near my back patio, which is sheltered from the hottest afternoon sun from about 4:00. They are SO cute in containers, aren't they? Are you growing yours in the ground or in containers? |
- Posted by madabouteu 7b - northern Alabam (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 14:57
I am growing them in Fafard 3B mixed with lots of pea gravel. I now have crushed granite, sold as poultry grit, and next time I try them I will try using that with a handful of soil mixed in. No flowers yet - they don't live that long for me! Yeah, they look great in containers, especially strawberry pots, but who can find strawberry pots these days? BTW, here in Gadsden we have yellow clay, not the red clay you have in H'ville. |
I grew one in the ground and it flourished and multiplied for several years before it gave up the ghost. It didn't get any attention and probably died from sheer neglect. ;-) |

E = mc^2
Name: Unknown Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
What does e=mc^2 mean?
By itself, this equation tells us that, when a quantity "m" of matter is converted to energy, the amount produced is equal to m*c^2, where c is the speed of light. One way this equation can be obtained: when Einstein developed the special theory of relativity, he found it predicted that mass increases with speed. When this is applied to a calculation for the kinetic energy KE of a moving object traveling with speed v, one obtains the result KE = (m - m0)*c^2 where m is the (increased) mass of the object when its speed is v, and m0 is the mass of the object when it is at rest. Thus, an increase in kinetic energy is accompanied by an increase in mass. Furthermore, this suggests that, even when the object is not moving, there is a "rest-mass" energy m0*c^2 associated with it.Then the total energy (kinetic + rest-mass energy) is given by E=mc^2 . It was Einstein's great insight to assert that matter and energy in general are, in essence, equivalent and interchangeable. There was other evidence for such an assertion at that time. An experiment done in 1890 confirmed that radiation exerts a pressure when it hits and is absorbed by an object. Interpreted in the context of relativity, one is led to the conclusion that when an object absorbs electromagnetic radiation of energy E, its mass is increased by E/c^2. Thus, it seems reasonable to assign an equivalent mass to radiation. Since then, the correctness of the E=mc^2 equation, as well as the mass- energy equivalence that underlies it, has been widely confirmed by experiment.

Dirt Showdown
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.codemasters.com/uk/
Product Homepage: http://www.codemasters.com/uk/dirtshowdown/360/
DiRT Showdown is the new arcade racing game from the team that brought you the award-winning DiRT series, uncaged in 2012. Pick up and play controls combine with electrifying events, frenzied crowds and stunning graphics to deliver high octane, dive in and drive thrills from event one.
You can see that the overclock helps push us into playable 1680 x 1050 numbers, which is something that the GTX 650 Ti Boost isn't able to do. The overclock also helps at 1920 x 1200, but you can see we're just a couple of FPS shy of that 60 FPS number we want at that resolution.

Saturday Night Contest - Roundtable : Blake Vogt!
What's up guys! I hope you all are doing fantastic this week! To celebrate the release of REF4M last night, we are going to let you all get to know more about Blake. So tonight, we are going to be doing a Roundtable Discussion!
This is how it works:
All you have to do is post a maximum of 3 questions that you would want to ask Blake. These questions can be about how he came up with REF4M, what inspired him to do magic, etc (anything related to magic). You can post only once, so make these questions count!
We will pick as many questions as possible to answer in the podcast recorded later this evening. One random member who submits a question tonight will receive a REF4M DVD on the house. Ready, set, go!
EDIT: Thank you guys for chiming in and asking the great questions, click here to listen to the full 30 minute podcast. Enjoy!
Listen Now! Blake Vogt Podcast
With that said, the winner of this week's SNC is Jenai with post #35. Congrats! Contact us to receive a free copy of REF4M shipped on the house! Thanks again to all who participated!// andrei jikh

what inspires you to create?
do you have a favorite magician?
what book inspired you the most? - #9
Last I knew you were taking classes at Purdue, now that you are part of the Chris Kenner "think" tank for David Copperfeild...
1. Will you finish your classes?
2. How has this changed your life?
3. Do you think you and Calen will come up with an effect together and release it?WORKING ON...
Card Manipulation
(The Sheridan Course in Card Manipulation)
and mostly Practice, Practice, Practice - #10
1. Describe the events and experiences that led up to you getting hired to work for David Copperfield. I think that'd be an interesting story for everyone to learn from.
2. Who would win in a fight between you and Calen Morelli?
3. When it comes to creating new magic, what do you believe constitutes a solid, practical effect?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
RS.The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.

I decided to write a program called "microSpeak140″ that would be a Windows command-line tool to let me post Twitter updates. The reason for such a seemingly useless tool comes from an idea I had about subscription-based communication to unmanned devices, which naturally led to the thought about implementing an Erlange-like language distributed over Twitter. Hence I started down this path. But none of that is terribly relevant to this post, so I'll skip all the "whys?" and go right to the "how?"
Step 1: Pick a name for your program (I picked "microSpeak140″).
Step 2: Go to Twitter and register that name: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/
If you are like me, you may want to skip this step and go right to the TCP/IP interface (thinking, "just tell me what port to connect to and I'll start talking"). But it's not like that. Twitter won't let you near their server so easily; there is no skipping this really simple step. This only takes a minute and it is free, so go register your program name at https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ and snatch the keys they give you. Namely, save off the "Consumer key" and the Consumer secret"; those are the two bits of data we really care about in the following steps. You need these keys for Twitter to let your program talk to their server, and you will put those keys into your C# code file.
Step 3: Download the .NET library, TwitterVB2 from CodePlex.
Step 4: Create a new project in Visual Studio, a Visual C# > Windows > Console Application (give it the same name — in my case, again, this is microSpeak140.cs). Note, I also like to rename the default "program.cs" to "microSpeak140.cs"
Step 5: Add a ref to TwitterVB2.dll (which you downloaded in Step 3).
Step 6: Create your Main program as follows (inside program.cs or, in my case, microSpeak140.cs):
using System;
namespace microspeak140
class microSpeak140
static void Main(string[] args)
if (args.Length > 0 && args.Length < 3)
Speak140 t = new Speak140();
if (args.Length == 2 && args[0] == "-W")
else if (args.Length == 1 && args[0] == "-F")
else if (args.Length == 1 && args[0] == "-M")
else if (args.Length == 1 && args[0] == "-W")
else if (args.Length == 1)
Console.WriteLine("Usage: microSpeak140 <-F> | ");
Console.WriteLine(" <-W [name of someone else]> |");
Console.WriteLine(" <\"message to send (max 140 character)\">");
Console.WriteLine(" -W Show me what is on my wall, or [someone else]'s wall.");
Console.WriteLine(" -F List the people I follow.");
Console.WriteLine(" -M List the people that follow me.");
Step 7: Include the Speak140.cs object into your project.
This is the meat of this whole post, as I wrote this object to wrapper the TwitterVB2 object. TwitterVB2 is great, but with it, you still need to handle authentication. So I put it in a class suitable for a command line tool so as to make Twitter-Console creation a little easier (and hence the pithy code in Step 6). Click here to look at it or download it.
Step 8: Edit that file, Speak140.cs, and fix these two lines
string ConsumerKey = replace this with what you got off the Twitter site string ConsumerSecret = and replace this also with what you got off the Twitter site
Step 9: Build your program.
Note: you may need to go to Project->microSpeak140 properties->Application and set the target framework as .NET 3.0 (i.e., not the default 4.0). Then build it. Then switch it back to 4.0 and try again.
Step 10: Drop down to a command window, go to the build directory, and run it:
microSpeak140 "At Starbuks reading Steve's blog"
Step 11: What next?
Maybe you will want to add your own reader functions to the Speak140 object? Or, it might be a good idea to add code to use the registry as opposed to files, and thus handle multiple twitter accounts.
