I am having new vinyl windows installed. From what I have read on building sites, the best caulk for this purpose is urethane caulk. My installers have never heard of it and want to use silicone or latex for paintable interior caulk. I can get Loctite window, door and siding caulk made from urethane at Lowes. Otherwise I can get OSI Quad. I asked if they would use the Loctite and they said they would. Does anyone have an opinion on this? I read that Latex shrinks and eventually cracks. We got some pretty deep scars in our tile sills and plaster surrounds so I want to replace the tiles and use paint once the caulk has cured, to cover them up. Also I noticed some of the facia bricks outside got chipped pretty badly when they were prying out the old metal frames. What would you do to hide this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only exterior caulk we use is OSI Quad. Silicone is OK to use on the inside. If your installer has never heard of OSI Quad, you have made a serious mistake in selecting him. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Dec 29, 10 at 8:27
OSI quad is our most often selected caulking as well. |

Coconut Dream Bars
Tuesday, 29 March 2011
Update: The auction is over and we raised almost $4000! Thank you to all who participated!
Want to try these bars without making them yourself? I donated 2 dozen to an online bake sale to help Japan with earthquake and tsunami relief. There are lots of baked goods available as well as restaurant gift certificates in the Sacramento area. Check out the listings here and go bid on April 1-2!
When Girl Scout cookie season began, the familiar order form went up in the office at my school. For the last couple of years, I've been meaning to make a homemade version of some kind of Girl Scout cookie – maybe my favorite, Thin Mints, or another classic, Samoas (AKA Caramel DeLites). Instead, fate intervened: my dear coworker and friend, who was having a very stressful month, mentioned a dessert bar from a local cafe that was like Samoas, but even better. "They had chunks of chocolate, much more than on the cookies," she said dreamily, " but ever since the owners changed, I haven't seen the bars."
Instead, she resigned herself to a box of Samoas once a year. She told me the name of the amazing bars: dream bars (which seemed quite apropro). I'd never heard of them, but made a mental note to look them up later. Once I Googled "dream bars" I was met with something from my childhood: magic layer bars (AKA 7 layer bars). While my dad was the chocolate chip cookie baker, my mom made magic layer bars. They were a simple recipe from the sweetened condensed milk can: a graham cracker crust topped with sweetened condensed milk, coconut and chocolate chips.
I found many variations on dream bars and magic layer bars, but decided to stray from my childhood memories in favor of what seemed like a more classic dream bar recipe. I wanted to surprise the recipient so I didn't risk asking her more about the bars but hoped that they would be want she wanted…
And I don't think she was disappointed. The shortbread crust was richer than the graham cracker crust I remembered. Topping that with a gooey layer of coconut cream, coconut and a sweet filling with chocolate and pecans made these bars irresistible. Forget potato chips – I literally could not eat just one in a sitting. I ended up giving as many as I could away, after making a small dent in the pile. These are dangerous, but so worth it! I won't make them often, and will make sure I have many people to share with, but they are fantastic dessert bars. If you like coconut even a little, you have to try these!
Coconut Dream Bars
Adapted from America's Test Kitchen
Makes 24 bars
For the crust:
- 2 C unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 C packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 C pecans
- 1/4 t salt
- 10 T unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 C sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 C cream of coconut (you can find this in the baking aisle)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 C packed dark brown sugar
- 2 T unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 C pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
- 1/2 C chocolate chips
To make the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and place rack in middle of ove. Line a 13″x9″ baking pan with foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, process the flour, sugar, pecan and salt for about 10 seconds, until the pecans are coarsely ground. Add the butter and pulse around 10 seconds, until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Press the mixture into the baking pan, pressing it down firmly with the flat bottom of a glass. Bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes before adding the filling.
To make the filling:
Combine coconut and cream of coconut in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and salt until smooth, then stir in the pecans and chocolate chips. Spread the filling over the cooled crust, then dollop heaping spoonfuls of the coconut mixture over the filling. Spread into an even layer, but don't worry if appears patchy.
Bake in the preheated oven until topping is a deep golden brown (around 30-40 minutes). Let cool completely, then lift bars out of pan using the foil and cut into 24 pieces. The bars can be refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

The fun thing about possible presidential candidates, as opposed to merely undeclared ones, is that everything they do has two parallel explanations. Take our own billionaire mayor, who's now inviting scrutiny with things as trivial as a mere mansion purchase. Bloomberg, the Observer reports, has picked up 1014 Madison Avenue, which houses a historic gallery, for $40 million. Since he also owns the adjacent 25 East 78th and can now connect the two buildings as long as he doesn't futz with the landmark façades, this places Bloomie well on his way to carving a 32,000-square-foot compound out of the hood (oh yeah, he also owns a townhouse one block up). Does the purchase, gallery and all, mean the mayor's about to settle into comfy retirement filled with charity balls and such? Or is he building the most awesome campaign HQ ever?
Hizzoner's mom is no help: The 98-year-old Charlotte Bloomberg is as coy as her son discussing Michael's presidential prospects. "The last time we talked about it, he said, 'I haven't made up my mind yet,'" she told the Boston Globe, immediately causing a ruckus down here. Of course, she immediately added, "Personally, I don't think he's interested." Tease! One can see her point, though: A winning campaign, among other things, might mean fewer new mansions for Bloomberg, as today's Sun points out. President Bloomberg's 68 percent stake in Bloomberg L.P. — and especially Bloomberg News — could "create a web of potential conflicts," experts say. Ah, "President Bloomberg." We forgot the most intense pleasure of covering non-candidates: getting away with total disregard of reality.

Quoted from shells The Foxtel box really annoys me if not turned off at the wall, as a high spinning noise that nobody else in the family can hear!
Quoted from RedLilac Shells, you mentioned wool. Me too. I have not bought wool sweaters in years, so I guess I never mentioned it to my son. A couple of years ago, he bought me a beautiful red wool sweater for Winter Solstice. So the only time I can wear it is if I put on this black lightweight turtle neck sweater with long sleeves underneath.Anybody allergic to metals? I am.
Quoted from RedLilac Anybody allergic to metals? I am.
Quoted from Amazone I. as being i's & introverts...we react exaclty the oposite way of our endings....so far it doesn't astonish me that intp's act likewise intj's
Quoted from 6053 some things on her do not eat list do not bother her at all.
Quoted from shells -snip-Having said that I think I am an INTP or some days an INFP. Can you be two?? And if so what enneagram would be a blend. I maybe too analytical for myself. I can see very clearly my children and those around me but find it hard to box myself.
Quoted from LauraT Sounds like you're either the 5w4 (iconclast) or 4w5 (bohemian). The first would apply if you are more analytical and attached... the latter, if you tend towards emotionality and are conscious of the image you present. Of course, it's more complicated than that, but that's a start.The 9 makes sense, since 9, 4, and 5 are the three enneagram types in the 'withdrawn' triad. Would you say you're more introverted than an average introvert? Truthfully, I don't think it has much bearing on the explorer status, though.
Quoted from SquarePeg I suppose 4w5. But I don't consider myself very introverted anymore, which I why I use a lowercase "I". I mean I used to avoid people all the time. Now I don't mind mixing, and sometimes I become energized in certain group situations. But I tend to be aloof / detached.
Quoted from shells Explorers, do any of you react to cats? I remember bringing home to my kids a beautiful little grey kitten with big blue eyes...I had to pop him into the top of my t-shirt while driving only a suburb or two to our home. The kids were waiting as I arrived and quickly took the tiny kitten and to my shock I was covered in welts. Within a couple of hours my eyes were crying and nasal passages started to swell.

Sep 28, 2013Watching T Avengers and then watching this is like one day eating lobster and then the next day eating a 99p microwaveable fish pie. Completely let down by its Hammy dialogue and un-engaging characters. Hard to believe this was made by Joss Whedon. What a disappointment.
Sep 26, 2013
Oct 3, 2013The writing reminds me of a disney show. Every is bickering like teenagers. The show is just silly and all the characters are unoriginal. It's not a good show.
Sep 30, 2013I'm sorry... the critics have been WAY too kind with this show. The plot/script was convoluted and
just uninteresting to be perfectly honest. I was greatly disappointed!! If you're going to get involved in any show that where the the characters have super-powers... just watch HEROES. -
Sep 24, 2013Great pilot, delicious teasers, more than a few nods to the Marvel movie history. There is just enough CGI to be interesting and the ratio of reality and fantasy is perfect to keep you immersed and enamored.
And the casting, of course, is just perfect. -
Oct 9, 2013I really wanted to like this show, but it reminds me of Terra Nova. A lot of promise, but never delivers and instead has a cheesy plot line, poor CGI, bad acting and limited presence of what people thought they would see. In the case of Terra Nova, people wanted to see dinosaurs. In AOS, people are expecting to see B-line superheroes and villians....instead we get a mis-matched group of nobodies.
Sep 27, 2013Pilot episode was boring and predictable.Cheap casting and meaningless dialog and want be last than first season because surely rating gonging to be down an ABC network has notorious history of canceling shows,
Sep 28, 2013Ill keep this short and sweet...bad acting, ridiculously bad dialogue, other than skye, no likeable characters, and a boring and predictable story line. If you want a great superhero show watch "Arrow" miles above and beyond this drivel. Lets hope its cancelled soon to make room for a good show
Oct 1, 2013Expected so much more. That's all I can say. The worst humor out of every Marvel production ever.
Needless to say, I will continue to watch. This isn't the worst show on the air, but I would not be surprised if this show got canceled after the first season. The characters are flat, the story line is dull. And frankly, incredibly cheesy. -
Oct 2, 2013It's really, really stupid. The cheese factor is unbearably high, the acting is bad, the dialogue is bad, the visuals are overdone. The jokes aren't funny, and the plot is boring. There's nothing at all about the first episode which makes me want to watch the second..
Sep 25, 2013I have to say i expected more i have nothing to say...everything about the pilot is average and 5 is an average no stand out acting directing or anything average with a great universe and they did this.

Oct 3, 2013...as comic book fans we expect a lot more!! Especially related to the Marvel Super Hero's!!! ABC don't Lois and Clark this show or I am done!!! Don't apply the ABC formula of predictable silly romance shows...
Oct 12, 2013I honestly can't believe this show is getting "generally favorable" reviews. It is sub-par on every single level. Terrible acting, bland characters, cringe-worthy dialogue, and a plot worthy of some forgettable CSI-type police procedural. This doesn't even measure up to Heroes, let alone the excellent movies Marvel has been putting out. Huge disappointment. Definitely not worth your time.
Sep 24, 2013
Sep 29, 2013Terrible. characters are all so far over the top and unbelievable. the old lady spy does the whole, huge sunglasses with scowl look just about constantly. The hot hacker is super hot, but terribly unbelievable as a hacker...
Oct 9, 2013
Oct 7, 2013This series is really silly and should be on a kids channel and not prime time television. I just can't understand the good reviews it received from critics.
Jan 14, 2014
Oct 22, 2013
Sep 24, 2013So far, "Marvel's Agents of Shield" is enticing, if a bit lackluster. The flow and pacing of the show feels very similar to "The Avengers", and the plot runs smoothly, but some of the dialogue is unrealistic, and a few characters feel shallow and stock. However, there's enough solid humor and intense action, as well as plot hooks, to keep viewers coming back for more.
Oct 2, 2013
Sep 24, 2013I thought it was a solid start to a series. The character dialogue and story moved at a super fast pace but I guess it almost has to to be crammed into an hour slot. The guy who played the "hero" did a real good job and was the most interesting character. Looking forward to see how the series develops.
Sep 25, 2013
Oct 12, 2013Bland. I keep waiting for Whedon-esque characters to pop out, but it hasn't happened. Making references to great movies has the same effect as the Bourne Legacy: it reminds you that those movies exist, and makes you wonder why you're bothering to watch what's in front of you. Disappointing.
Oct 23, 2013
Nov 8, 2013
Sep 26, 2013Watch this show. It's entertaining, the characters are awesome and the story has a lot of potential.
Also, the writing was impressive. I was expecting another typical superhero show, but really the writing made this shine. -
Sep 26, 2013Absolutely terrific! Great pace, awesome visuals, a lot of references to the geek world and the Marvel Universe.
Agent Coulson is such a great character!
Whedon NAILED IT! -
Sep 28, 2013great show was everything I expected nice to see marvel on TV again and it's great to have joss running the show acting was great and the comedy was smooth

Oct 13, 2013I really wanted this show to be good,the fact is that it is boring...given the material they have to work with there is no excuse for the sloppy plot and forced references.i would recommend sticking with the marvel movies as this heap of dung is just a waste of time
Oct 20, 2013
Nov 8, 2013
Oct 8, 20131st episode was okay. 2nd totally killed it completely for me. I was 'watching' it for 30 mins before I realized I hadn't been paying attention for the last 20 mins and was more focused on cleaning my fingernails than giving a single uck about this show or it's characters.
Oct 8, 2013

Oct 22, 2013
Oct 1, 2013Love it. It had action, lots of new ideas, and references to the marvel universe. The characters are pretty well defined and I think the nerd duo will work well after a while, but my favorite was the Black Ops guy. I hope the hawk shows up in the show, because he is one of my favorite agents. Every pilot has some bugs, but this one was one of the better pilots I've seen for a show.
Oct 1, 2013The show is great in my opinion. Good balance with humor and action. I was expecting a good TV SHOW not a good MOVIE and thats exactly what I got! Oh and for those who find the flying car too over the top, it is seen at the world fair scene of the captain America movie as one of Mr stark's attempted inventions, so that to was an Easter egg. Learn the facts before rolling your eyes. Great show!
Oct 2, 2013perfect. It is an amazing show, from the first episode, great for those who hadn't watched the Marvel movies, great acting, lots of mystery and tonnes of reason to continue watching!
Oct 2, 2013
Oct 9, 2013
Nov 8, 2013First episodes were a bit boring but it gets better and better! Keep watching, I'm glad I did.
I really like the little references to other Marvel movies. Skye is awesome! -
Nov 13, 2013
Oct 14, 2013This show gets more disappointing with every episode. My take let's say you give Avengers 100 out of 100. This show is just like the Avengers oh but with a bunch of dimwit gen-y actors (-15 points) minus the budget (-15) minus the script (-10), minus a plot (-20). And even making Clark Gregg into a douche (-20!). 100 80 20 out of 100 yeah, that's about right....
Apr 28, 2014
Nov 6, 2013The writing is lackluster and cliche, but it's really the characters that damn the series. The actors have absolutely no presence or chemistry with each other. Is Joss Whedon even involved with this show? He's known for his ability to take mediocre actors and build a powerhouse ensemble performances out of them and it's really hard to believe he had any hand in this mess whatsoever.

Sep 25, 2013I have to say i expected more i have nothing to say...everything about the pilot is average, i really expect the show get better with time, i like the mistery of Agent Coulson, where he was?, what happened to him?
Oct 24, 2013
Sep 28, 2013Esta serie será una de mis favoritas. Me encantó el primer episodio. Los efectos especiales están bien. Espero que a medida que avance la serie se vayan incorporando nuevos personajes y que la historia siga poniéndose interesante.

Nov 8, 2013Thought this was going to be a great show, but it's pretty terrible. Pilot wasn't any good and I tried to watch two more episodes to give it a fair chance, but it's just terrible.

Nov 22, 2013After a shaky start, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is finally hitting it's stride, with characters being fleshed out, and a run of good episodes. Stick through the first few episodes and you'll find this show rewarding, and I've a strong feeling its only going to get better.

Apr 3, 2014
Mar 24, 2014i think its good im enjoying every episode wishing they were longer everything is building up to like when they bring in the heroes and villains its clever funny love all the characters its a good show that doesnt have to have alot of action all the time
Oct 3, 2013I've gotten as far as the second episode. Overall, the characters themselves are very lackluster and not very creative. For the most part, none of the characters are particularly engaging like Torchwood's (first and second season). The involvement in the Avenger's universe is pretty cool as there are nods here and there. But big explosions and CGI can only carry this show so far.
Oct 15, 2013

Oct 13, 2013Aside from having the Marvel name attached to it, There is nothing special about this show. The acting is average, The plot is very generic, and it fails to keep you entertained or interested. Would not recommend.
May 17, 2014Agents of SHIELD has an interesting Pilot, then a lot of disappointing episodes, and then once the Hydra reveal happened after Captain America 2 came out the show started to pick back up, and the season ended on a high note. I think this show can absolutely go in interesting directions in Season 2.
Nov 13, 2013While the show's premise isn't what everyone is expecting and its slow development in its first few episodes, the show gets interesting week by week and the viewers just needs to be patient and realize that this show is about S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, not The Avengers.
Oct 29, 2013Well go figure Marvel! Marvel's new show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D looks so surprising for any Marvel fans, or any Comic Book Guys. It follows The Avengers footsteps and it brought Agent Coulson's return.

May 14, 2014It took a while to get off the ground. The first half of the season was very hit and miss but the second half was very good. It still isn't the best show in the world, but the Captain America crossover during the season's second half brought a lot to the show. It's worth watching if you can get past the first ten so-so episodes.

Sep 27, 2013One of my favorite fall tv show so far. Such a brilliant show and it just makes sense that Coulson should not die. Clark Gregg will always be apart of the marvel universe, even if he's not the superhero but he is still a hero to people. Chloe Bennet as Skye is funny. Not bad to look at either. Definitely will tune in more of this show.
Sep 29, 2013Not that bad, but I get the feeling that this show was conceived as a commercial for Marvel and not much else. However despite this it feels kinda real and the characters are okay. The factors that drag it down are it's low budget and the fact that it does not know if it wants to be a funny family movie or a serious action/adventure movie.
Oct 8, 20132 episodes in and I'm still waiting for it to get going. Wanted this to be so much more. Lacking the drama and fun of Avengers tie in movies. Could be good, but so far 'meh'

Oct 19, 2013The show is one of the better shows on tv this fall! I love the special effects, there is just the right amount so it looks realistic. I love the references to the marvel movies, but the show does not depend on them and the ones that it does depend on are explained for viewers who have yet to see the movies. However, the plot can be cheesy, cliche, and predictable at times.
Oct 23, 2013
Nov 6, 2013This series has slowly been picking up steam after a up-and-down beginning to the season. The characters are developing over time (as one would expect), and the situations are becoming more and more dynamic. As for the acting, it is uneven, but Clark Gregg is really a tent pole for the cast. His performance alone is worth the watching. Too many would-be critics wrote this show off far too quickly.
Nov 17, 2013
Nov 20, 2013When there's nary a negative critic review to be found and a significant number of people who really dislike the show, it's a pretty fair indicator that critic reviews are bought and paid for.
Nov 26, 2013
Dec 4, 2013Whilst the pilot was intriguing I found the first few episodes a little weak, however with each subsequent episode the show continues to improve and find it's feet. Do not expect the Avengers or you will be disappointed, but this show is one to watch.
Dec 11, 2013This show gets better the more I watch it. The stories often take unexpected turns, usually in a good and interesting way. It has variety of characters; it's nice that not everyone has the same personality. It has a lot of cliffhangers, which always makes me anxious to see the next episode.
Dec 18, 2013I couldn't make it through the first episode. It's a shame because there is NOTHING on this time slot worth watching. I just turn off the tv until The Goldbergs come on after.
Apr 20, 2014Now that it's broken free of its former episodic format and moved on to continuous story a la Lost, this show's gotten so much better. If you can make it past the first six or so episodes, you'll find a much better show than the one you began with.
Jan 15, 2014
Jan 15, 2014Thank God Joss Whedon has a show going again. Following his standard story arch, mid season of season 1 is when it gets interesting. After tonight my full confidence is behind the show.
If you're not familiar with Joss Whedon's work, give it a season and you will see what a master can do. I don't give praise lightly, and I can't give enough to Joss. Thank you for coming back to TV. -

Jan 22, 2014
Feb 5, 2014Good pilot, first episodes a little weak, but from the sixth/seventh episode onwards was a revelation and now it keeps getting better and better! Characters are becoming very interesting too.
Gregg has a deadpan ease that makes the engine purr. And his team is good-looking and stamped with just enough personality and humor: Without killing the fun, they ground the show. [14 Oct 2013, p.43]
The show has a sound concept.... But the script, by Joss, Jed and Tancharoen, with Joss directing, is a mite too pleased with itself.
There's actually not a single weak link in the cast. The weakness of the premiere comes down to plotting. There's a slightly melodramatic arc involving a commentary on the current economic state of the country.

Moyo gives his Goebbels explanation of new Zanu PF rules barring young turks from standing for elections!
November 15, 2012 in Uncategorized
According to Zanu PF's recently passed rules, only members who have served the party for five consecutive years are eligible to stand as party candidates in the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
The rule is seen as a response by the old, old guard to stop the increasingly vocal "young turks", particularly from the security services who played a decisive role in the 2008 orgy of violence that stop the party and Mugabe from being wiped off the political map. They see an increased role in politics as their just and deserved reward, now that they have retired from the Army, Police, etc. They may have dabbed in politics but as a Soldier or Police Officer they could not be an active Zanu PF party member and thus they will run afoul of the new rule.
The Young Turks should have learnt a lesson from how the old, old guard had egged the war vets and Njambanja youths to haunt the white farmers off their land. As soon as the dirty work was done the old, old guard kicked the war vet and Njambanja off the farm. Many of Mugabe and his cronies have five farms or more each!
Of course the old, old guard will need the Young Turks to do the dirty work for them again if the party is to win the next elections.
Old, old guard's grip on power is not going to last much longer; the pressure for meaningful change has been growing and cannot be contained for much longer. When change happens then those responsible for the corruption, looting and all the political violence will have to account for it all. You can bet the old, old guard who disown the War Vets, Njambanja and Young Turks!
It looks like the new rule design to bar the Young Turks from holding political office has snared some of the old, old guards too; notably Professor Jonathan Moyo, Zimbabwe's very own Josef Goebbels. The Chief of Propaganda lost his position in 2005 after the failed palace coup to topple Mugabe. Moyo literally cried tears, "izinyembezi" according to the tyrant, pleading for his life. But no doubt the tyrant felt he needed Moyo's propaganda skills and so Moyo was welcomed back into the party in 2009. So if the new rule was applied without favour Moyo too would be barred from standing for election!
"These good for nothing fools should know that what is important about rules is not their dogma but how they bend," explained Zimbabwe's Goebbels. "The fact is that all rules have exceptions in order to avoid breaking because a rule or ruler that does not bend breaks!"
Even Germany's Josef Goebbels at his best would have taken his hat off to that one!
But to help our Young Turks, it would take them a cat's nine lives to figure that one out, what Professor Moyo is saying is the new party rules were passed to stop the stupid one from getting on the gravy train but not the clever.

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 Madonna!
Facts about Madonna
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Madonna's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Madonna is lovable with a sweet disposition. She enjoys playing rough and tumble with her brother, Mick, and mother Mona. She always seeks out her favorite blue toy dog to play with and carry around.
Other Pets at Cat Guardians, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Madonna, a Lombard Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Lombard, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Lombard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lombard 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 Lombard 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lombard paves the way for another one to be saved.

On some sites where they sell Sarracenia plants I came across things like Sarracenia x 'other name' hybrid type A or type B.What does type A and type B stand for? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mutant_hybrid 8 (My Page) on Sat, May 3, 08 at 19:39
I have no idea... normally when hybrids are designated they use F1 and F2 for various stages of hybridization. It sounds like someone that is just trying to show a difference between two plants that may or may not really be different. I would ask them directly what they mean by that designation and if it actually refers to the number of hybridizations that have been staged between several species or merely a made up designation for plants that simply look different despite similar parentage. |
- Posted by terrestrial_man 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, May 3, 08 at 23:21
What it sounds like is that in the resultant offspring of the hybridization there were distinctly recognizable variants, probably in the leaf morphology, such as size or height or the color. In orchids hybrids are identified by varietal names such as "Pink Boy" with the name in quotations marks. |
My guess is it could be hybrid or non hybrid or maybe color variation. |

U.S. Cellular pulls out of Chicago, sells market to Sprint
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 8:48PM
U.S. Cellular FIeld. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times file photo
Article Extras
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:42PM
U.S. Cellular said it has reached a deal to sell markets in Chicago, St. Louis and other parts of the Midwest to Sprint Nextel Corp. for $480 million, part of a strategic plan to focus on its stronger markets. The move will cost 640 jobs in the Chicago area, including 160 in the city, among 980 to be cut in the Midwest.
Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint will buy spectrum and 585,000 customers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio, which is 10 percent of U.S. Cellular's customer base.
U.S. Cellular will continue to have 1,400 associates in the Chicago area — including 860 at its headquarters, where no cuts are planned — the company said. But upon completion of a transition services period, the majority of its retail, engineering and business support associates will lose their jobs, according to the company. During the transition period, the company may keep open certain retail locations in the affected markets and will provide certain transition services to Sprint, U.S. Cellular said. But over time, both company- and agent-owned stores will be closed.
Despite pulling out of the Chicago market as a service provider, U.S. Cellular will not change the name of U.S. Cellular Field. It's 25-year naming rights contract started in 2003.
"For us, it's a great partnership we've had with the White Sox, and we'll continue that relationship," U.S. Cellular President and Chief Executive Officer Mary Dillon said in a Chicago Sun-Times interview.
"We're going to continue to be headquartered here in Chicago, and in the Chicago area, we'll have several offices. We will have a strong presence. In fact, we'll still be a top 40 employer by revenues in Chicago."
The markets it's pulling out of generated service revenues of roughly $340 million, or 11 percent of reported consolidated service revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, the company said. But the markets experienced an operating loss after all direct and indirect costs.
"These are markets that we've pretty much always had a lower market position, maybe (the) No. 4, No. 5 player," Dillon said. "We've decided that we really need to be in markets where we have a stronger market position, No. 1 or No. 2, to really focus on future growth."
The company has provided service in the Chicago market since 2002.
"The cost to compete in the wireless industry is pretty different actually than in 2002," Dillon said. "Costs to compete continue to grow. So for us to really focus our resources on things like launching LTE {4G technology} and making sure we have cutting edge devices, putting those in places where we have a stronger position, sets us up for future growth."
The company will continue to serve more than 5.2 million U.S. customers.
Asked if regulators have cause to be concerned about how consumers will be affected with one competitor leaving the market here, Dillon said, "We expect that this is the kind of transaction that will get approval by the regulators."
But the Citizens Utility Board, a Chicago-based consumer advocacy group, is worried about how consumers' bills will ultimately be affected.
"We're always concerned about consolidation in the cell phone industry," spokesman Jim Chilsen said. "We worry about what long-term impact this will have on customer prices in an industry that already is plagued by a lack of competition."
U.S. Cellular and Sprint will enter into transition services agreements for network operations and billing and customer service, and U.S. Cellular will retain its direct and indirect ownership interests in roughly 560 towers and other spectrum in the affected markets, U.S. Cellular said.
The sale, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in the middle of next year.
U.S. Cellular said it will work very closely with its customers to create a seamless transition to Sprint.
The transition and exit costs are expected to reduce facilities expenses by more than $3 million annually beginning in 2014.

Several domestic and international flights leave from Newark Liberty International Airport each day. Is one of those yours? And, are you coming into the airport from downtown Manhattan or one of the surrounding boroughs? While Newark Airport is a mere 15 miles away from the city, the traffic between New York and New Jersey poses a serious hurdle to anyone aiming to catch a flight on time. If this sounds like your situation, what options do you have?
Driving, of course, is the most common but unreliable. Bridges and tunnels around the city turn into bottlenecks, and as a result, traffic is a constant factor. However, the level of traffic can mean a slight or significant delay, so why take that risk? Public transit is another option, but as Newark is multiple trains or buses away, is taking your luggage practical? And, are you sure you won't encounter a delay?
Rather than take a risk, plan to get to Newark Airport by helicopter. Offering charter flights to all New York-area airports from downtown Manhattan, Helicopter Flight Services, Inc. gets you to Newark in less than 10 minutes. By taking our Newark helicopter shuttle, you'll relax instead of stress out on your way to the airport. Traffic congestion is no longer a concern, as our Bell 407 helicopter simply flies right over to take you directly to your destination.
Leaving from three heliports in Manhattan, airport transfer charters provide a safe, secure, and comfortable ride. The cab's spacious interior holds up to six individuals and offers heat, air conditioning, and a Bose stereo system.
Once one of our Bell 407 helicopters lands at Newark Airport, ground transportation efficiently takes you to the terminal, and you'll have plenty of time to check in. For getting to Newark Airport without the hassle, contact us for more information or to make a reservation.

There was a lot of excitement last night as the new Winnipeg Jets played their first preseason game in Winnipeg. There was significantly less excitement in Columbus as the other halves of the Jets and the Blue Jackets took to the ice at nearly the same time. Whose idea was that anyway?
Regardless, we're betting that there will be even more excitement on October 9, when the Jets play their first regular season game against the Montreal Canadiens at home. But will the new Jets get to play their first playoff game this year as well?
It's no secret that the Atlanta Thrashers weren't a very successful hockey team. They qualified for the playoffs only once in their history and they were swept in the first round. It's no wonder the team struggled to attract fans and sell tickets. Last season it looked like they would actually contend for a playoff spot, but that fell apart rather quickly as the season went on. Will this year be any different?
As we've learned in Edmonton, Toronto, Minnesota and others, playing in a hockey mad city isn't enough to make you a contender.
The Jets did a good job during the offseason of re-signing important members of their core. Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd are all returning to the team this year. Those players were a big part of the Thrashers success during the early months of the 2010-2011 season and they will be key parts of the Jets going forward.
However, the Thrashers fell short of its playoff goal last year and the Jets haven't done too much to add players to their team during the offseason that would change that this season. Kyle Wellwood, Kenndal McArdle and Eric Fehr are among the players that are joining the team this year. Fehr, especially, is a solid addition to the team, but he isn't the type of player that will transform a team into a contender.
On the bright side of things, the team's young talent is now another yet older and those players have likely gained some valuable experience since last season ended. Players like Aleksandr Burmistrov, Zach Bogosian, Bryan Little, Evander Kane and others are getting closer to the prime of their careers and they will likely be better players than they were last year. In addition, Ondrej Pavelec is a talented goaltender. He's also excited about the team's future.
"Absolutely, we can make the playoffs. We're a young team but we're a year older and we have more experience," Pavelec told the Winnipeg Free Press.
"We lost eight in a row at one stretch [last season] and any team that does that won't make the playoffs. But if we don't lose those games we make the playoffs and that has to be our focus this season."
This team is young, talented and now more experienced than they were last year. All of those factors add up to a great deal of potential in Winnipeg. If management can hold the majority of the team together and if everyone continues to grow and progress as they should, the Jets will likely be a contender in the years to come.
But they probably won't make the playoffs this year.Of course, they don't have to make the playoffs this year. Enthusiasm for the team is incredibly high and 13,000 season tickets have been sold for the next five seasons. All the Jets have to do is become competitive at some point in those five years and things will be fine. Looking at the team as it is right now, it's not hard to see them having a bright future. The Jets didn't need to rush to become a competitive team quickly – and possibly sacrifice that bright future – so they didn't do so. It isn't the flashiest strategy available, but it's a smart one.
We're pretty sure the Jets would have a huge, loyal fanbase if they lost every game this season anyway.

I have read a few "water heater options" post, but everyone seems to have different configurations, so here is mine. My wife and I live in Orlando, Florida in a 3200 s.f. home. We do not have access to gas, electric only. The house has 2 50 Gal Electric water heaters of average quality, one in the usual spot in the garage (feeds Kitchen, laundry, guest bath, pool bath, bonus room), and a second one that is located in the master bedroom closet (Master sinks, bath, shower) on the opposite side of the house. Taking an inventory of where we use hot water: we use the master bath, sinks, shower and the kitchen sink/dishwasher. We usually never use the hot water in any other part of the house. I would like to start planning on updating this setup with something more energy efficient. I am always envious of my brother who installed a Rheem Heat pump water heater, and the amount of savings he gets. But in my situation we have two water heaters. So far my thoughts are to turn off the unit in the garage unless guests come over, replace the unit in the closet with something more efficient. I like the Rheem/GE Heat pump units, but will the noise of it running be annoying? On the plus side it will cool our bathroom/bedroom. Another option would be to mount it in the attic to have access to more hot air. Could do a tankless in the bathroom, but I am currently leaning away from that as I have not heard the best comments on electric tankless. This would leave the kitchen sink. What to do there? I would love a tankless here, just to have instant hot water. Another option is a recirculating main high efficiency tank in the garage? This way we will still get quick hot water all the way in the bathroom. Any thoughts on the best energy saving approach? |

- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Tue, Apr 17, 12 at 10:49
Just some things for you to know: Electric tank heaters are ~100% efficient - meaning they turn almost 100% of energy into heated water. There is some standby loss, but that can be minimized through additional insulation. Electric tankless will not improve on that enough to justify the tiny payback. Heat pump units can be a great choice in hot environments. They will use considerably less energy than a standard heater. They work by removing heat from the surrounding air - so you don't want to use them in a cool environment where you are heating the air (good for your use in Florida!). Access to plenty of warm air is required. Haven't used one myself, but I would expect the same amount of noise as a refrigerator. If you install in attic (good for lots of hot air), you must consider water leaking. The drip pan will catch some leaks, but not a major leak. Don't do a high efficiency in garage and circ pump unless you can insulate all of the pipes well. You might consider POU tankless in master bath for instant hot water until main unit in garage can take over. If you do use circ pump, consider motion detector & aquastat to reduce circulation. The motion detector would turn on the pump when you go in the bathroom, the aquastat would turn it off when the pipes warm up or if they are already warm. Something else to consider in sunny Florida would be solar. Put the tank in the garage and do a circ pump. Most solar storage tanks have electric resistance heat for backup. |
My climate in South LA is similar enough to yours to say that the HPWH is the most economic way to heat water. You need extensive rebates to make solar DHW a better economic choice, much higher than the federal tax incentives alone. Check local sources to see if there is more help on that end. Do the calculations yourself on the US DOE's web site, the Energy Star web site or look for information at the web site of your local land grant university. Why can't you listen to your brother's HPWH to decide about noise? Tankless is a very high investment in equipment cost that is difficult to recover. I have a fuzzy memory that some HPWH have short duct options to move the cool, dry air where you want it if that is not right next to the water heater. I could be wrong about that. |

"Tankless is a very high investment in equipment cost that is difficult to recover." That is true of electric tankless - and I would never recommend it. It is not true of gas unless new gas service is required. The OP doesn't have gas an an option - but the above statement would lead people to the wrong conclusion. Payback in any case will be a function of both the installed cost and the cost of fuel (electricity) as well as future rate increases. Keep in mind with solar, you don't have to provide 100% of hot water needs. You could even use it as a pre-heater. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rheem pasive solar unit
I ran numbers for my house and costs of equipment and fuel. Solar = HPWH with 75% of solar costs coming back from state and feds. Gas instant was much higher than both and higher than gas tank heaters with gas costs about a year ago. Gas costs will probably be going down putting gas instant at a greater disadvantage to gas tanks. Take-home: With no incentives, HPWH is the clear winner in the hot, humid South LA climate. |

Ionized: I think you've mentioned it before, but where did you go to run those calculations? |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Tue, Apr 17, 12 at 17:14
Thanks for the great info. You know, I never thought about asking my brother how loud his is or actually listening. I should head over there and check it out. I can get the GE HP model for < 950 through a work program. So that does make a HP version seem more affordable. If this went into the bathroom closet, what would be the best option for the kitchen sink? Instant? I have 120V for the disposal, but would probably need to 220V to handle the flow. |
It is not a plug-in numbers, hit a button and get a result, so a little work needs to be done. http://www.energysavers.gov/your_home/water_heating/index.cfm/mytopic=13010 |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 8:46
Correction - I could get the GE for < $850, if that makes it a better choice. Has anyone used a small 4-6 gallon water heater for their kitchen sink? Something like the Botch GL6? http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-GL6-6-Gallon-Electric-Mini-Tank/dp/B0006GVO1M Would 6 gallons of hot water be enough for a kitchen sink? |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 9:01
Dude, I think you have answered your own question. at $850 you can't beat that. Regarding "would 6 gal be enough..." I assume that you are saying "would that be enough until the main heater takes over?" The answer is probably. You can do the math on the distance and pipe size between the sink and the main heater. That will tell you for sure. |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 14:56
Ionized: FYI: I put those formulas into an Excel spreadsheet so that they were more plug-n-chug. The original estimate for payback on my gas tankless was 5 years vs a standard 40 gal tank heater.(~a $500 difference in installed price - DIY) The revised payback with lower gas prices is 8 years. That's okay, but not great - but that's compared to a standard gas tank. I couldn't use a standard gas tank without re-lining my chimney or using a powervent. The powervent was the same cost as the tankless - so it's all savings for me. All that said, I live in central Indiana where it can get downright cold. Everything in my 100 year old house is gas incl. furnace, water heater, range and dryer. My average gas bill (budget) is $46 - and that's before the mild winter this year and the foam insulation I added on the basement walls and joist pockets. My winter electric bill is $35. I keep things at 68-70 degrees inside. The continuous hot water is very nice, not having a big tank is great, but not having anxiety attacks over utility bills is wonderful. Of course it's not just the water heater, it's the 92% furnace and insulation and such... I still have the original windows though. Even with the reduced cost of natural gas, if someone can install a tankless at a reasonable cost (no re-doing the gas service) I would advise that people consider it. In hot climates, the heat pump water heater sounds like a great option - esp in electric only situations. |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 18:33
I would shut off the garage water heater, and use the 6 gallon as the sole source for hot water at the kitchen sink. |
8 years is pretty short with that kind of device. Most people would be longer including pro installation and having the pre-existing ability to just replace a gas water heater. I always (aim to) write that you have to crunch your own numbers to know for sure. Replacing windows is a tough area. They are often not done correctly by so-called pros and leak more than the original ones. It is also an expensive proposition, if you are not going to buy junk, as you probably already know. Even people that invest heavily in what they think are good windows end up disappointed when they start to fail after a decade or less. |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 21:05
Oh, I have no intention of replacing the windows. The entire neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places and the house is a contributing structure. My point is that I have very low gas bills, and the original windows. In older homes with masonry chimney's the furnace and the water heater were often vented together. When the furnace gets changed out to a 90% and vented through PVC, the naturally aspirated water heater is no longer to code in the flue by itself. You have to either line the chimney with a double walled vent, move to powervent out the sidewall or go electric. That's what my situation was. I agree, though with what you say about installed costs. The thing is that if installers could get past the "novelty" of the tankless, they are often a breeze to install. I went right through the rim joist with the vent - all 2.5 feet of it. I was able to move the heater closer to the bathroom and it's the size of a small backpack. The worst part was getting the old tank out of the basement. And when it comes time for a new tankless, wow, that will really be simple! Totally one person, a pair of channel locks and a screwdriver. about as involved as changing a tire. If you live in warm climates, the entire thing can go outside without a vent kit. |

So will a 6 gallon work under a kitchen sink? |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 12 at 13:53
thomaskuhn: Sorry for the side discussion. The answer is probably - but you can determine the volume of the water between your sink and the water heater and see if 6 gallons will do it. You will need to know how far it is and the size of the pipe (1/2" or 3/4") |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Sat, Apr 21, 12 at 13:34
Would the 6 gallon be enough (and i am starting to think it will not)if i turn off the garage water heater? In other words, it would be the only thing providing hot water at the sink. I am thinking i will need an instant heater under the sink, but running 6ga wire through the walls would not be fun for me, especially because the sink is in a hard to wire peninsula. Perhaps i could hide it in one cabinet next to the wall |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Sat, Apr 21, 12 at 13:54
Some additional information, just so you know what i currently have (perhaps they are efficient enough... Or junk) The bathroom water heater is a 40gal rheem "rhreemglas fury" that is listed as using 4775 kW/year. It was manufactured in 2004. The garage water is an 55 gal A.O. smith promax rated at using 4879 kW/year and mancatured in 2009 |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 12 at 8:09
thomaskuhn: A 6 gal heater will not be enough unless it's plumbed in with the main heater. Your dishwasher will empty it. Your existing water heaters are ~100% efficient, (they have a energy factor of approx .96 without looking them up) By contrast, the heat pump water heaters have an energy factor of 2.0 - meaning one would cost you about half of what you are paying for hot water now. My suggestion would be to install a small electric tank in the bathroom (10 gal or so), and hook it in series with the garage heat pump water heater. A good alternative - if it works for you - is to install a heat pump heater in the attic to serve the bathroom, since that's really where the bulk of the hot water use probably is. |
- Posted by thomaskuhn (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 12 at 8:55
Thanks, I just plumbed in the GE heat pump in the bathroom. IT is a little noisy, but since it is in the closet, you can not hear it too bad. We still have the other water heater n the main part of the house. SO you are saying I should remove the garage unit, move the GE into the garage. Run a new hot line to the master batch, and run it to a small 10 gallon water heater? |

The Silver Ring
(art courtesy of Wyatt Perko)
A young man finds a mysterious silver ring that holds extraordinary powers — a ring that the darkest evil in the universe wants for its very own.
This edition contains a bonus short story: "Blind Instinct," which previously appeared in Burning Sky, Adventures in Science Fiction Terror, issue 6, 2000
From the Author's Note:
In 2000 I wrote a 22,000 word novella called The Silver Ring. I was eighteen. I submitted it to a major science fiction and fantasy magazine (I'm sure you can guess which one) and it was rightly rejected. In the rejection letter the editor said it was "ambitious." He was being too kind. What was ambitious about it was the length. At the time it was the longest thing I had ever written. But it needed work, and I knew it, and so I put it away and didn't think of it again until the spring of 2009 where I took it back out and rewrote the entire thing. Keeping the main storyline the same, I managed to cut out 4,000 words while adding in almost three times the amount of action.
Purchase this e-book for $0.99:
Praise for The Silver Ring:
"Robert Swartwood's The Silver Ring is a full-tilt no-holds-barred bobsled of a ride, absolutely engaging and a hundred percent fun. If this one doesn't grab you, it's time to up your Ritalin."
— Joe Schreiber, author of Chasing the Dead and No Doors, No Windows
"In short, sharp chapters, Robert Swartwood's The Silver Ring launches the reader into a high-flying, fast-paced cosmic adventure in which the fate of the universe rests in the hands of a seventeen-year-old movie clerk. Grounded in the emotional realities of an everyday family, Swartwood infuses his tall tale with the humanity of a young man navigating his way through the emotional minefields of everyday life while trying to be the best big-brother he can be. The Silver Ring delivers light in the heart of darkness, and simple truths from webs of mystery. Have fun!"
— Gerard Houarner, author of The Oz Suite and A Blood of Killers
