Has anyone had any success propagating Calylophus drummondianus, aka Texas Sundrops, specifically var. berlandieri. I have been waiting for volunteers, tried layering, cuttings, bottom heat, no heat, broadcasting the litter, and planting pinches of it in pots. All to no avail. This has got to be one of the toughest plants I've ever tried to propagate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

BOSTON — Haverhill senior Alex Mayhew had two reasons to be beaming with pride.
Mayhew broke his own school record and he finished third yesterday at the New England Championships at the Reggie Lewis Track.
It's been quite an 8-day stretch for Mayhew. Last weekend he tied Rusty White's 23-year-old 55-meter record with a 6.58 and smashed it with a 6.50 in the finals. Yesterday he ran a 6.54 in the prelims and 6.47 in the finals.
Harold Cooper Jr. of Hillhouse High in Connecticut won in 6.42 followed by Taj Amir-Torres of Amherst-Pelham in 6.45.
It was a quiet day for the locals as Methuen's All-State mile champion Mike O'Donnell sitting it out and New Hampshire coming off a month layoff.
Other local individual competitors were: Pelham's Sutton Bradbury-Koster (14th, 55 hurdles, 8.23), Timberlane's Danielle Gajewski (24th, 55 meters, 7.70), Pinkerton's Morgan Sansing (22nd, 2-mile, 11:57.03), Timberlane's Hannah Kimball (20th, mile, 5:33.18), Londonderry's Kristen Bourque (14th, 300 meters, 41.45), Londonderry's Amanda Szymanski (11th, 600 meters, 1:37.68), Windham's Kristen Tilley (17th, 600 meters, 1:41.13), Pinkerton's Connor Kwiecien (15th, 600, 1:25.16), Londonderry's Morgan McGrath (19th, 1,000 meters, 3:11.18), Salem's Olivia Burke (16th, high jump, 5-1) and Andover's Cassie Kobelski (9th, shot put, 35-8.75).

Uncensored returns to Pulp Intl. for the first time in over a year with an issue published this month in 1955. The story of Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra's tumultuous relationship (and the Spanish bullfighter who helped ruin it) has been covered numerous times, so no need to get into it again just now, but the photos are certainly worth a look. Uncensored shares other nice images as well. There's Eartha Kitt (described as not much to look at "unlike such Negro beauties as Dorothy Dandridge and Lena Horne"), Sarita Montiel (who in Mexico was allegedly on the receiving end of a horsewhipping by Miguel Aleman's jealous wife), and Marlene Dietrich (seen both onstage performing and offstage fulfilling a G.I.'s request for a kiss). The latter photo, from 1945, appeared in Life and many other magazines and remains one of the most famous Dietrich images. So Hollywood starlets take note: if you want millions of dollars in free publicity, no need to get arrested or leak nude photos—just kiss a fan.
Intl. Notebook | Jan 11 2013 |
We were researching our recent post on fascist-era femme fatale Isa Miranda when we stumbled across fourteen sets of eyes from some of the most famous starlets of the 1930s. They were on a Brazilian fashion blog (seemingly defunct, since it hasn't been updated for more than a year), and we gather they came from a book—Fashion at the Time of Fascism—which we'd love to read if we could find a copy. Anyway, just a little eye candy for Friday.
Vintage Pulp | Sep 1 2010 |
The National Police Gazette hits all bases in this vibrant September 1959 issue, telling us about Billie Holiday's heroin woes, Carmen Basilio's feud with Sugar Ray Robinson, Mickey Mantle's lack of respect from his employers, and Debbie Reynolds' divorce. But we're focused on the John F. Kennedy article. Just fifty years ago Americans were suspicious enough of Catholics that Kennedy's opponents were able to exploit his religion during his campaign for president. The far right Aryan Knights are quoted from a press release: The Romanist church organization insolently pretends to temporal authority over various governments and people of the world, including our own United States. The League goes on to claim that Rome wants Catholicism established as America's state religion, and that those who refuse to conform will be prosecuted or destroyed. The leaders of a religion based across the sea want to take over America using the President as a Trojan Horse? Hmm. Why does that ring a bell? Merrill J. Fox, head of the Federal Party, said: "Kennedy is bound to carry his religion over into politics. He does it now, subconsciously. Kennedy wouldn't be good for our country because he isn't his own boss." Interesting, no? These fearmongers are basically forgotten today, consigned to that copious dustbin of history which is home to some of the most odious loudmouths who ever emerged from the woodwork. But at the time these guys made a fine living. And when you revisit some of their laughable assertions, it becomes clear that green—not red, white and blue—was their focus. Put another way, you'll never go broke telling people what to be afraid of. With regard to our current era, there's an old saying that applies: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Passive strategies lull investors, says Momentum
Passive funds are increasingly luring investors into a sense of false security, according to the latest report from Momentum Global Investment Management.
In a survey of 40 wealth advisers carried out by Momentum and Scorpio Partnership, 50% of wealth managers added a passive solution to their client portfolios in early 2011.
However, problems for investors arose in niche areas such as credit and commodities, where passive solutions are often no cheaper or more expensive than active ones, according to research.
Christopher Mahon, head of investment strategy at Momentum, says: "Too often the active versus passive debate is dominated by active and passive managers on opposing sides.
"They can hardly be blamed for a bias towards their own style of management but we hope this report [will] give investors a more rounded opinion on the issue.
"Passive solutions work better in mainstream asset classes. In more niche areas passive solutions can be expensive or come with hidden drawbacks."
While passive solutions targeting mainstream equities and bonds are more likely to be cheaper, the report by Momentum and Scorpio specifically highlights high yield credit as having the potential to prove more expensive.
Alternatively, developed equities, emerging equities and government bonds were all found to be cheaper when passively managed than actively.

Sunday December 24 Small world: A better alternative to the usual choir-laden, bell-ringing Christmas service can be found at the delightfully downsized Christmas Eve Candlelighting Service at First Divine Science Church. Local musicians Linda Maich and Michael Stanwood will be joined by the musical group Aurora, candles will be lighted, and you'll all smile at one another and go home to your trees and family circles. The service will be held only at 7:30 at 1400 Williams St.; for information call 322-7738.
Monday December 25 Eat, drink and be merry: Anyone who's hungry can have a feast today--with all the holiday fixings. More than one Christmas Day Meal, dispensed and prepared by volunteers using donated food, will be hosted in the downtown Denver area. The Denver Salvation Army annually serves as many as a thousand homeless and needy people at Currigan Hall, 1324 Champa St., where diners sit down to a hearty turkey and pumpkin-pie dinner between noon and 1 p.m. Though volunteer servers are usually lined up by this time, donations are always handy; call the Salvation Army, 861-4833, for general information. The Volunteers of America will dish out meals at two locations--from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Champion Brewing Company, 1442 Larimer Square, where guests will also be treated to Christmas carols, and beginning at noon at Sunset Park, 1865 Larimer St. Families and individuals needing free transportation can call Metro Taxi, 333-3333; those requiring home-delivered meals can put in a request by calling 294-0111.

Tuesday December 26 Soul man: First, funny man Jim Carrey went totally evil as Batman's Joker. Now Jerry Lewis--the original nutty professor and rubber-faced icon to French people everywhere--plays the Devil. Where will it end? And are there any "ni-ice la-adies" in hell? The irrepressible Lewis, who surfaced last year on Broadway to enthusiastic notices in a refurbished version of Damn Yankees, joins the touring cast in a reprise of his role as "Mr. Applegate" (aka Lucifer) for a sojourn at the Buell Theatre, 14th and Curtis in the Plex. The run opens tonight with an 8 o'clock performance; shows are scheduled daily through January 7. For tickets, $15 to $49, or reservations, call 893-4100 or 830-

Dips like a low-low
from Tha Dogg Pound (Ft. Snoop Dogg) – New York, New York Lyrics on Genius
Low-low meaning lowrider therefore he says he can stay out of sight by figuratively dipping like a low-rider. Here dip is a double-meaning since he means to hide when he says dip.

James takes performance very seriously. The vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has been hitting the stages of cafes, clubs and theaters across the country(Stone Pony, Brooklyn Bowl, The Orpheum in Flagstaff, Quixote's True Blue in Denver)and around the world(The Half Moon in London, Voodoo Lounge in Dublin, Von Krahl in Tallinn, Fontaine Palace in Liepaja, House of Blues and Jazz in Shanghai) for a number of years now. Along with all the accolades and press for his music, this Jersey Shore native's harmonica playing has been exciting audiences and turning heads with it's unique voicings and stripped down approach. He's been lucky to make music with numerous big name artists that have dominated the worlds of Blues, Folk and Rock-n-Roll (Chris Thomas King, Valerie June, Vini Lopez, Vince Welnick, Jon Fishman, etc) and he has been developing a simple style of teaching the instrument that shows instant results and allows the student to grow at their own pace.
James is excited to have joined the excellent crew involved with the clinics at the Brookdale Guitar Show and looks forward to sharing his experience with the harmonica and overall stage presence with people of all ages and skill levels.

10:30am-11:30am - Monmouth Battleground Room (Lower Level)
This fingerpicking clinic provides a hands-on experience intended to de-mystify right-hand (or left-hand, if you're left handed) fingerpicking techniques. The purpose is to simplify various thumb-finger techniques to get you started (and save the face of your guitar). In addition, left handed techniques will be discussed, including: hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends, and slides. If you bring a guitar, you'll get more out of it. Come early for a front row seat and bring a guitar.
Charlie has been playing acoustic and electric finger picking styles for most of his life. His preferred style is delta blues with an emphasis on a heavy thumb. However, he'll "acoustify" anything – from southern blues to the Beatles and will play anywhere, any style, any time, with anyone, and adapts finger-picking to any genre. He breaks down finger picking to a level where anyone can enjoy playing. He also makes his own finger-picks to allow him to play in a style that integrates aspects of: finger-picking, strumming, and flat-picking. He encourages anyone with the slightest interest to start playing ASAP (if they don't play already) to relax, relieve stress, and get your ya-yas out. His main influences include: Mississippi John Hurt, Jorma Kaukonen, Stefan Grossman, Charlie Parker, the Allman Brothers, and the Stony Brook Friends of Old Time Music. His latest venture has been into old timey music. Pre- and post-clinic questions and requests should be sent through the Squirrel Stew contact page.

Looping music in live performances has been around since the 1970s. Today, tape machines of that period have been replaced by the present day loop pedals that offer unlimited memory and tons of extra features. These loop boxes are resourceful tools for creating and pre producing original material. They are also helpful for woodshedding and playing solo gigs without vocals. Using a basic loop pedal may help you get to the next plateau and beyond. Check out how it's done live and check in on the latest loop pedals out on the market.

When you meet Dave Tucker, it doesn't take long to see that he's the salt of the earth. A carpenter by day, Dave is a hard-working man who tells it like it is. "If I ain't sweatin' then I haven't worked," he says, "and if I haven't worked, how can I justify the pay?" His homegrown pragmatism is also what so appropriately makes him an Americana singer/songwriter. Dave Tucker now prepares to release his fourth studio album, In Kind, on December 18, 2012. "In Kind is my statement of bartering for what I need," and that's exactly how this album, produced by recording artist and multi-platinum songwriter Wendy Waldman, came to be.

ROCKIT - Performing Janis Joplin's "Pearl" in its entirety.
Founded in 2004, ROCKIT has taken their road show into the spotlight of the Count Basie Theatre, a landmark venue in the heart of Red Bank, New Jersey where every major artist performs. ROCKIT joined the theatre's Performing Arts Academy and have since opened and performed with The Marshall Tucker Band, Bernard Purdie, Jonny Lang and Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes. Rockit students have also gone on to perform on Fox TV with Keith Urban on the American Country Awards and X Factor.
The program also teaches students the importance of community charity efforts. Rockit regularly performs at fundraising events in support of children's cancer and partner's with various schools offering scholarships in the performing arts.
In the ROCKIT program, young musicians, ages 8-18 who pass auditions, participate in a seven-week group program where they learn a specific repertoire of songs supplemented with individual instruction. Around forty-five young musicians divvy up to form separate groups who together, at the program's end, perform on stage with high-production gear and lighting. The set typically includes music from a wide range of artists like The Who, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles to Radiohead, The Raconteurs, and The Foo Fighters and also features Rockit original compositions.
ROCKIT is housed at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank and is now the leading rock band school for young musicians in New Jersey.

Cat started performing at the age of 3, beginning her stage experience as a young ballerina. She received her first guitar at the age of 10 (later delving into piano), and by age 17 she was a full-fledged 'gigging musician' booking herself at local coffeehouses, and sponsored street busking events. Performing her original material at these locales gained momentum quickly, and Cat was able to build a strong and loyal fan-base in the Jersey Shore area. Cat is a graduate of The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), where she received a degree in Communication: Radio, TV, and Film. While at TCNJ, she was a member of TCNJ Musical Theatre, a student-run theatre organization, as well as the Mixed Signals, an improv comedy troupe, and the campus radio station, WTSR, as a dayside DJ. Since 2009, she began opening for several national acts such as John Eddie, Jeffrey Gaines, The Head and the Heart, and Garland Jeffreys. Cat joined Glen Burtnik (Styx) on stage as a choral backup singer in November 2011 during a Beatles tribute tour. She is also a two-time (2010, 2011) Asbury Music Award nominee for Top Female Acoustic Act and Top Female Vocalist. CAT won the Jersey Acoustic Music Award for Top Pop/Rock Act in 2012.
11am-12pm - Outdoor Tent (Upper Level)
From the shadows of obscurity, and the swamps of Jersey… Tommy Strazza arrives with a passionate vigor and abandon not seen in these parts for quite some time. Armed with an artillery of songs, a voice full of truth, and soaring guitars that call on and channel the spirits of all that is righteous from Rock's, past, while looking forward towards its future. He takes with him only the raw, bare essentials, and leaves all eccentricities at the door. Tommy's credo is a simple one. By any means necessary… SHINE.
With his new album The Model Citizen L.P., Tommy does just that. Each song emanates an energy that connects from the get go. From the early rock and roll influenced "You're Not The Only Show"'s declaration of independence, to the very sad-but-true story of the murder of New Orleans musician Dinerral Shavers in "Dinerral's Song", to the Middle Eastern influenced "Ultimate Illusion" 's cautious warning of the pitfalls of everyday life, to the muffled cries of somebody desperate to be heard on "So Much More", to name a few. There is an emotional tone to the lyrics that are not present on Tommy's past recordings. He has found his voice… Or shall we say… voices (read on for further info).
With the simple aforementioned credo in mind, Tommy decided to let go of his apprehension to let loose and showcase his skills as an instrumentalist. "For years I felt like I've been keeping this a secret, on account of the fact that most Singer/Songwriters are not lead guitarists, as well as how they are perceived in the current state of Rock and Pop music. I wanted to fit in, so I kind of kept my guitar skills semi-quiet. Only occasionally showing off some signs of them." "Now it's quite the opposite. I feel like I have to use all of the gifts that I've been given, and give it all that I've got. What's the worst that could happen? I might actually stand out?!"
With fire in his eyes, a restless heart, and a desire to play every single day of his life, Tommy cannot wait to release his new album, showcase his new, amazing band, and hit the road as soon as possible. "In this day and age, there is the potential to reach and connect with many more people, in more places than ever before. That is an amazing opportunity for an artist or band to have, use and by any means necessary…SHINE!"

"Chris is an exciting guitarist with incredible phrasing and exotic scales" -Guitar World Magazine

LEEDS has released one well received self-titled EP and is currently recording their second collection of original hard rock songs. They continue to grow as a band, and the new recordings are certain to be worth the wait. LEEDS took every opportunity in the past year to get back on the stage to let loose their brand of rock. The band has a multitude of influences but their style is all their own. They don't try to be anything other than themselves and the purpose of their show is to entertain. When they take the stage you can tell that they love being there, and you'll hear it in the music. As they have said, they play every show like it's their last. Their energy is infectious and their songs are pure rock and roll.

In March 2010, legislation was signed giving the Alabama Energy and Residential Codes (AERC) Board the authority to adopt mandatory residential and commercial energy codes for the entire state. It also gave the board the authority to adopt mandatory residential building codes for jurisdictions that had not implemented such a code prior to March 2010.
The board has adopted the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code for commercial buildings and the 2009 International Residential Code including the energy chapter for residential buildings, with selected modifications. For the first time in Alabama's history, the state has mandatory energy codes for all new construction and substantial renovation.
Implementation and enforcement of the adopted codes became mandatory on Oct. 1, 2012.

BUTTE -- Hailey Hoagland is one of five Bulldogs back to work this season after a season-ending injury last year.
"I've been working since the summer to get here, and all I've been thinking about is basketball season so far, so it feels good," Hoagland said.
"It's always good when you have your whole team back that you've been playing with that you know their game," senior forward Natalee Faupel said. "It's awesome to have them back there and they're all so skilled. It's not the same when you don't have all of them."

Goodman's best-seller stands at the threshold of a new era in American literature and history. Positioned between the repression and the mass conformity of the '50s and the explosion of youth culture in the '60s, Goodman's engaging and authoritative voice inspired a strengthening chorus of dissenters. For him, juvenile delinquency was a projection of a ubiquitous sickness in our culture that resulted from the "lack of meaningful work." The corporation's takeover of the American economy had produced many jobs, but few that fed the soul or made a man feel useful. If a young man could not be fit into a corporate hole, then, according to Goodman, he was pushed aside.
Some of these unfortunate boys, of course, did not even attempt to fit in; instead they become angry and mute like Jim Stark, the character James Dean played in "Rebel Without a Cause." Unable to articulate their fury, they dropped out. In a few years, however, young men who had Jim Stark's sickness would find their voices and join the New Left. For this evolu-tion, Goodman's articulation of the problem got a great deal of credit. Yet as much as he inspired the American youth movement, he was quick to criticize its excesses and its violence. Such a nuanced position made him a welcome guest on talk shows and academic panels.
Goodman's take on American culture was not, even 50 years ago, revelatory. Just as the American literary canon is full of heroic dissenters who are social pariahs, Goodman was far from alone in locating insanity in the environment rather than the individual. In the same year that "GUA" appeared, existentialist sociologist R.D. Laing published "The Divided Self," which argued that mental illness was culturally defined. Both Laing and Goodman had been influenced by Herbert Marcuse, a German Jewish Marxist and radical sociologist. Although he had many affiliations with the Frankfurt School, Goodman himself did not identify with any particular group or political party, a fact that may also help to account for his popularity.
Goodman stated his anarchic philosophy with a clarity that makes "GUA" easy to read. But there is no real data in the book. What Goodman offers instead is his own sensibility that acts as a bridge between the radically theoretical writings of academia and the plain speech of ordinary people.
That in 2012 the greed of corporate America and the spiritual emptiness of technocracy are much greater problems than they were in 1960 may be reason enough for New York Review Books Classics to republish "GUA." Its appearance follows very closely on the heels of the release of the film about Goodman, a hagiography that concludes with the narrator asserting that "it is time for a Goodman revival." While it is easy to commend NYRB Press for its willingness to republish estimable works that few other commercial publishers would touch, it remains unclear whether or not we ought to have a "Goodman revival." The writer's distaste for half of the American population might be reason enough not to want one.

Sitges also has a lot of culture; did you know that the permanent headquarters of The International Film Festival of Catalonia is in Sitges, which is certainly one of the most important events in the film industry in Europe.
The film festival is one of the first movie productions which show science fiction, horror and fantasy, currently the festival has other film genres, and its first edition was held in 1968.
Sitges : Fun Facts
Did you know that Sitges is considered to be one of the most expensive cities in Spain since February 2008; the price per square meter is sold in the range of 5469-11250 euros, reason why it is now a problem to look for apartments. The young population due to the economic situation has had to move to other nearby counties and municipalities.
For those who like to party and to have fun, did you know that Sitges has the first PACHA club in the world? Although some may think it is IBIZA, because it is the best known.
Did you know that the first beach property in Spain was called Chiringuito and it is located in the town of Sitges.
Did you know that one of the first racetracks in Spain is located in Sitges, which name is el circuito de terramar (Terramar circuit). However this permanent trace is left. The circuit was opened in 1923 for the Grand Prix of Spain, the reason why this circuit was left was because of the large debts that were generated pro construction, making almost impossible to pay to the winning drivers.
Did you know that Sitges also celebrates one of the most important holidays with a great story called fiesta mayor de Sitges (festival in Sitges) which is celebrated each year on august , the festival has many shows, where there are concerts, exhibitions in museums and fireworks.
In ancient times the inhabitants of Sitges, felt the need to host protection from a superior being, this is why the parish of San Bartolome and Santa Tecla were created, and hence the festival comes.
Do you want to discover Sitges, do you want to enjoy its live festival, the beach, concerts and cultural activities, museums and streets, clubs and nightlife, cuisine?
Stay in our hotels El Cid, Galeón and Platjador which offer all the amenities you would expect from a good hotel. We provide an exciting experience.

The Legendary Boonville Beer Festival is often known as a beer festival for brewers with a beer festival in the middle of it. After spending 3 days with 88 breweries in the small town of Boonville in Anderson Valley, I think I know why.
Watch what you missed at Boonville in one minute:
Although we usually focus on local SF beers, we have had the opportunities to try a few international beers when traveling. Uganda, the pearl of Africa, is a wonderful country full of beautiful landscapes and friendly people. If you find yourself in Uganda and in need of a beer look no further for a beer guide! Listed below are the most popular beers in Uganda:
#7 — Club Pilsner Beer
- "Tastefully Different"
- Brewed in Nile Breweries – Owned by SAB Miller
This tastes pretty terrible, kind of bitter but not in the ways hops are bitter, like in some sort of bad water combination making it taste bad. Drinking one of these was tough and it will have to be last on my list.

"Our focus this year was on helping the students to embrace their callings by getting beyond the doors they hide behind and the fears and doubts that drive them there," said Dr. Mike Hayes, vice president for student development at Lee.
While at Summer Honors, students got a head start on their college careers by earning six hours of academic credit. Students take two courses designed to introduce them to the structure of a university-style class.
This year's courses included Doing Business with the Sharks; Go… Transforming Communities through Service; How Different Can This Be?: Human Exceptionalities and Similarities in Relation to Special Education; Sociology Goes to the Movies; Taking Sides: Psychological Issues; Ancient/Future Worship: How the Bible, Culture, and Personalities Affect the Worship Music of the Postmodern Era; the Film Experience: Understanding Cultural Language through the Cinema; Finding Your Leadership Voice; Keeping Secrets Secret: The Mathematical Art to Making and Breaking Codes; and The Science of Chocolate.
Besides going to classes, Summer Honors exposed participants to an assortment of other activities such as whitewater rafting, Greek Olympics, a formal dinner, and an Atlanta Braves baseball game.
"Summer Honors encouraged and challenged me to grow socially, mentally, and, above all else, spiritually," said Cierra Motes, a rising Lee freshman from Lithia Springs, Ga.
"Many relationships bloomed over the short two weeks—lasting friendships between fellow students as well as mentors who have helped me develop confidence in Christ and in myself."
The program also focuses on service-learning, a vital part of the Lee curriculum, providing students the opportunity to participate first hand.
This summer's opportunities included a block party hosted for the clients of the Caring Place, serving at the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Habitat for Humanity ReStores, and assisting with the American Heart Association Heart Walk, among others.
"This group of students engaged the two-week experience with passion, beginning their adjustment to college successfully," said Hayes.
Participants of Lee University's 2014 Summer Honors gather for a group photo.

I am having issues with my Craftsman ˝ hp garage door opener. The unit is about 5 years old. My garage door openers stopped working last week. I replaced the batteries and attempted to open the door but it still did not work, so i went and bought a new opener (craftsman 953879) still didn't work from the remotes. I erased all the codes, as that was the only thing left i could think of doing. I found the original manual and it said to check the "lock-out" button, which someone had had pushed, but by me erasing everything in memory, i can't get the (2) remotes and key less entry pad to work. I have attempted to reprogram the two garage door openers and the key less entry pad but am only able to get one of the openers to work. If I try and reprogram the key less, it just flashes, if i go on top of the motor and put it into learn mode, the key less works, but the one remote that was working stops and i can not ever get (2) remotes to work at same time.
Any help will be appreciated. |

Can you get your original remote and keypad to work? I think you may have been sold the wrong remote and that is complicating things. |
I recently purchased two replacement remote openers for this model. So I would have 3 remotes, the keypad, and the wall unit. We were able to program 2 of the remotes, but it would not accept the 3rd remote. Is there a maximum limit on remotes a person can have with this model? I wanted the extra remote for a family member, since the "keypad" is not always reliable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Happy New Year! |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 31, 08 at 11:02
That opener should accept all the units you have. Normally when you exceed the limit it will accept the last one you program and drop the first one off. Make sure all your remotes are the same model number. |
My original remote works, and one of the new remotes work. I just can't get the third remote which is one of the new ones to accept the program. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 1, 09 at 17:39
I would take it back and get a replacement. |

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense. — Harold Kushner
Talk about the quote. Do you think life makes sense? Or are you still trying to figure it out?
Today's Big Question is "Why do bad things happen?" We responded to some answers offered by various belief systems and heard the story of Job. In our WCUU broadcast, we said UUs think it is important to accept the fact that life is a mix of bad and good, and to do something to help when bad things happen. We ranked some bad events that could happen, and said which ones UUs might do something about. We finished in WIT Time by celebrating life the way it is, good and bad.
What do family members have to say about why bad things happen? Why to they think good things happen?
Try out some good-luck superstitions to see if they work. If you say a hopeful thought aloud, knock on a piece of wood with your knuckles so speaking your hopes aloud will not doom your chances; then say "Knock on wood." Cross your fingers when you hope for something (some people think this gesture is a way to make the sign of the Christian cross to keep the Devil away). Pick a four-leaf clover for good luck, if you can find one. Bring a frog into your house for good luck! What other superstitions have you heard? (Search on the Internet for more, if you wish.) After a few days, talk about whether your luck has improved.
Talk about what superstitions are, what they mean to you. Did you ever believe in the power of superstitions? What do you think makes superstitions survive?
People say, "Misery loves company." Is that true? Get together with some other people and talk about bad things that have happened to you. Does it feel good to do that? Do you still feel better a few hours later? Together talk about good things that have happened or are happening to you. Does that feel different? Better?
Does your family have stories about very good things or very bad things that have happened to individuals? Which stories are told most often? Have you appreciated the good things and overcome the bad ones? If not, what more can you do? Was there a time when somebody had what seemed like bad luck but it turned into good luck?
Photograph the results of somebody's good action. Share the photograph with others and ask why they think the good thing happened.

We are getting ready to paint our front porch ceiling (white house w/black shutters) and love the color of this porch ceiling and can't find any info on it. Can anyone give me a stab at a few colors that may be similar?
Follow-Up Postings:
Someone once posted here that a great color for porch ceilings was "SW Atmospheric", a pretty light blue. I looked it up at the time and saved the info for the future on my computer. On my monitor this ceiling looks light blue, so that's my stab at your question. |
Thanks patty, I did try Atmospheric but it was a little too bright baby blue on my ceilings. I would like it to have a hint of green without being to much like a baby's room |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 10:23
That blue has quite a lot of green in it - it's lovely! But I think it is more like SW7129 "Opera Glass," SW7130 "Aquacade," or SW7132 "Water Squirt." Benjamin Moore's "Antique Glassware," #1660, is a good candidate. There is also a lovely Donald Kaufman color (DKC-29) that has the green cast as well, but it's a little more subtle and not quite a luminous as the one in the photo. For a slightly 'dirtier" version, look at Farrow & Ball "Pale Powder." |
Thank you so much brownysmom. I will check those out |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 11:43
You're very welcome. I hope one of those will work. The trick with porch ceilings is to have enough color while keeping it light and luminous. |
this is what I am now finding out. I loved SW Window Pane but it was a bit too light and of course the next color Rainwash is a bit too dark. Making me crazy! |
Try BM Palest Pistachio |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 13:16
Window Pane is one of my favorite colors to use when someone wants light blue walls. It has more sophistication than many light blues - never looks like a baby's room. It's a lovely backdrop for polished wood furniture and gold and/or silver leaf picture frames, looks great with natural materials like sisal and wicker and stone, and functions almost like a neutral with other colors. |
It looks similar to my porch ceiling, which is painted BM Lookout Point. You might also take a look at BM Healing Aloe, which is a great color. This is Lookout Point in the hallway of my summer place. I don't have a photo of it on the porch. And here is Healing Aloe in a bathroom. It has more green in it than the color above, but it's still a blue. |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 15:56
I love my SW Open Air. I will try to remember how to attach a picture. It's just the right light aqua. |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 16:20
prairiemom - Wow, both of your colors look exactly like the one in the picture tfm originally posted. Did you by chance use that picture for inpsiration? |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Sat, Jun 16, 12 at 10:58
Interesting...our monitors must be different. Prairiemom's lovely soft blue looks far less green than the original post on my screen... |
In another thread, someone mentioned BM Wythe Blue as a porch ceiling. Could this be it? |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Sat, Jun 16, 12 at 16:11
I think I may have used that pic as one of my inspiration photos, but I also used pics from various "haint blue" sites. Just google "haint blue porch ceilings" under images. It really does read more blue green in person. It's so hard to take pictures. That day was hazy and hot, but a clear day takes an entirely different picture. Plus, it's just not finished yet. There will be strips of thin lattice painted Open Sky to cover the butt joints, and we'll have a white modest crown molding around all the edges once we get the satin white on the walls. |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Sat, Jun 16, 12 at 16:18
I agree, it could be Wythe Blue, another chameleon blue. It changes with the time of day, the atmosphere and its surroundings. I think BM Wythe Blue has a bit more green/gray in it than SW Open Air. |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Sat, Jun 16, 12 at 16:40
Looking at the photo again and comparing it to Azek products, I think it might be one of their PVC trim products. It comes in a blue very similar to this. |
Tfm, I know everyone's monitor reads colors a little different, so the exact color actually on that pretty porch ceiling might not be the color you want on yours. Just sayin... I painted my master bedroom this Fall in Ben Moore Ashwood. I loved it in the living room and reading room on the For the love of a house blog. I was delighted to find that it may technically be a gray, but has a slight green cast or slight blue cast in various lights. To me, it looks really close to the photo you linked. Red |
- Posted by prairiemom (My Page) on Sat, Jun 16, 12 at 16:56
For the Love of a House's porch ceilings were top on my list of inspiration photos! It looks exactly like my color. I will have to look more closely at her blog again to find the exact color name. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue porch ceiling

Patterson Farm
This past Sunday we had a family day and decided to take Caden to his first pumpkin patch. We headed up to Patterson Farm up in Mooresville, NC.
They had all sorts of stuff going on.
- Hayrides
- Tomato sling shot
- Corn Pit (just like a ball or sand pit but full of corn)
- Swings sets and playgrounds
- Tires to play on
- Little Tractor track for kids to ride tractors
- They can feed farm animals, goats, bunnies, chicken, ponies
- Pony Rides
- Train rides
- pig races
- Make their own scarecrows
- Face painting
- Mini corn maze
Look how cute that tractor track is behind Nate in this picture. The kids were loving it.
The start of the pig races.
Lunch break
While Caden was eating I snapped a few pictures …
Check out the mini corn maze.
And one of the playgrounds
Caden even got to be a little piggy
Although Caden couldn't really enjoy all the festivities he did enjoy watching all the other kids run around and play. We tried taking him to see the animals since he's so into Kala right now but he got startled by something or someone and started crying so that didn't last long. I'm really looking forward to going back again next year when he's a little more mobile and independent.
But … I can see Patterson Farm becoming a nice little fall tradition for our family.
What Fall traditions do you have with your family?
