A new combination treatment offers hope to people who have the blistering, potentially fatal skin disease known as pemphigus vulgaris.
By combining the cancer-fighting drug rituximab with intravenous immune globulin, Harvard doctors have discovered a therapy that can effectively treat people with cases of pemphigus vulgaris that haven't responded to other treatments.
"We got a home run with this combination," said study co-author Dr. Marshall Posner, medical director of the head and neck oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School.
"These patients were extremely ill and on multiple medications," he said. "This therapy resulted in complete eradication of the disease for nine patients." The remaining two patients in the study required additional doses of the treatment before they, too, went into remission. All of those involved in the study had sustained remissions, some as long as 37 months, by the end of the study.
Results of the study are published in the Oct. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Hi all,
I have a Norman Rockwell cross stitch leaflet available for sale. It is #101, Dimensions, Tender Care, book one and features two of Norman Rockwell's famous Saturday Evening Post designs. The first is a man sitting in a chair with a stethoscope listending to a boy's teddy bear entitled DOCTOR AND THE DOLL, and the second features a boy giving his dog medicine entitled PUPPY LOVE. This leaflet is dated 1985, Curtis Plublishing Co. so is very likely out of print now. The original owner did do some markings on one of the designs, but everything is still visible & it does not interfere with the stitcher's ability to follow the chart. I can provide photos of the cover and of the markings of which I speak if desired. I have not been able to do any research yet as to the value of this leaflet, but feel free to email me with an offer if you are interested (you MUST email me if you are interested as I cannot guarantee I will see a response posted here in a timely fashion). email@example.com My ebay name is Berrykin_Bubbles if you wish to check my feedback. Thanks! |

1937 Horch 853 A
Above Images ©IMAGE CREDITS - Supercars.net @ 2001 Concours d'Elegance Paleis Het Loo
In 1937, the top model produced by Horch and all of the Auto Union conglomerate was the 853 A. It was a more powerful version of the 853 that was fitted with a 120 bhp version of the straight eight.
Many bodies on the 853 A were highly regarded, and of them the sport cabriolets are some of the most beautifully styled cars of their era. But the real creme of the crop were the select handful of 'spezial' roadsters built by Ermann et Rossi in Paris.
Before the war broke out and annihilated all of Auto Union with it, Horch produced just over 400 853As that were fitted with a wide variety of bodies.

Spring Hill, USDA Partner on Retail Development Strategy | ||||||
SPRING HILL, Tenn., Apr 14, 2014
-- @@USDA Rural Development State Director Bobby Goode today joined Rep. Marsha Blackburn and local leaders to announce funding for the development of a comprehensive retail development strategy to create local jobs, increase sales tax revenue and improve the local quality of life in Spring Hill. The announcement was made at City Hall. "It's smart to do the homework and start with a plan," said Blackburn. "Growing the community in a thoughtful way lays a strong foundation for brick and mortar, and click and mortar jobs. Maury Alliance and USDA are helping local leaders make Spring Hill a destination for families to live and businesses to grow." According to local officials Spring Hill has an established retail core, but as the population increases there is a lot of potential for growth. The recruitment of retail businesses is extremely competitive and municipalities must have a well-defined strategic retail development plan in order to get the attention of potential businesses and restaurants. "Retail not only grows jobs, it attracts other businesses," said Goode. "When goods and services are available nearby, both people and money stay in the local economy. That helps build community and a sense of local identity." The program is funded with a USDA Rural Business Enterprise Grant of $29,581, plus $5000 from the city and an in-kind contribution from the Maury Alliance of $2,101. The city will contract with a professional retail consultant to identify local consumer spending habits, develop a community profile, and identify retailers that would complement the area's strengths and add to the quality of life. With these tools the consultant will help the city develop and produce marketing materials and a strategy to attract complementary retailers and develop and implement tactics to generate additional economic growth. Others participating in the event included Spring Hill Mayor Rick Graham, Aldermen Susan Zemek and Kayce Williams, City Administrator Victor Lay and RD Area Director Faye McEwen and Specialist Susan Shuff. USDA Rural Development invests in jobs, infrastructure, community development, health, education, homeownership and affordable rental housing to improve the lives of people in rural areas and the economic health of rural communities. During the last four years the agency has assisted more than 1.5 million Tennessee families and businesses in 158 communities, investing more than $3.7 Billion into local economies through affordable loans, loan guarantees and grants.

Up to this point in my somewhat spotty career, I would have insisted that certain rules govern a restaurant's survival. A space that can only be located by satellite photography is never going to make it. A fusion menu that fuses the cuisines of two cultures that couldn't communicate if their representatives found themselves standing side by side in a men's room spells disaster in any language. So does any menu item with quotes around it.
And Tex-Mex at some franchised chain operation in the middle of ticky-tacky corporate suburban hell will always be a losing proposition for both owners and eaters.
28025 Main St.
Evergreen, CO 80439
Category: Restaurant > Barbecue
Region: West Denver Suburbs
Thai chicken salad: $7.49
Cheeseburger taco: $6.79
(with rice): 1/$3.99, 2/$6.99
tacos: 1/$2.99, 2/$4.99
chicken: $9.49
Ribs $13.99
These rules have served me well through seventeen highly unusual years in the restaurant industry. But after eating at Tin Star -- a five-month-old franchise operation with deep Tex-Mex roots, owned by a rookie restaurant guy who's working off a formulaic menu that's pure sizzle-platter Mexi-American with elements of Japanese and Southeast Asian fusion and occupying a strip mall in the suburban heart of the Denver Tech Center that should go down in the real estate hall of fame as one of the worst locations in the world -- I'm not so sure anymore. Everything about Tin Star violates those laws that were laid down by God and Escoffier to govern this twisted business I love so dearly, and yet the place is so good that I'm willing to admit I was wrong. Because in the midst of all its rule-breaking, convention-flouting, essential chain-restaurant wrongness, Tin Star does one thing right that makes all the difference.
It cooks.
When the delivery trucks pull up outside Tin Star, they're not delivering canned salsa, bags of dusty tortilla chips and mountains of pre-made tortillas from Tin Star corporate headquarters in Dallas. They're bringing tomatoes, poblanos and masa -- big flats of the stuff that are met at the door by a bunch of high-volume trained guys with strong arms and very sharp knives.
Every day, every night, everything here is made from scratch and to order whenever possible -- which is more than I can say for a lot of non-chain restaurants out there. And the kitchen is well-staffed to make sure there's never a shortage of anything. The kitchen is also open, the cooks working in full view of the dining room, with just a narrow service trench separating them from the first row of counter seating. That's a vote of confidence from an owner who knows that his guys can work fast, work clean and not throw fish at each other when the pressure gets bad.
Although Tin Star corporate bills its restaurants as "quick-casual," the label isn't entirely appropriate. In the restaurant industry, fast-casual basically means fast food with nice architecture. It means a burrito or a slab of pre-roasted, nitrate-heavy chicken, or a salad that can be assembled with its dressing and sides and whatever else like culinary steam-table Legos by counter help that doesn't have to know anything more than how to work quickly with a ladle or a portion spoon, then served up in a family-friendly space. Tin Star, on the other hand, is an actual restaurant that just happens to move very, very fast. Order at the counter, pay your tab, get a big metal star with a number on it that you plant on the table in the comfortably generic dining room. A few minutes later, a waitress arrives bearing real food on real plates that you eat with real silverware -- no sporks, nothing plastic. Simple as that.
Except that there's nothing simple about the process; it just looks that way from the front of the house, because that's the illusion franchise owner John Jourde wants to maintain. In the back, though, the cooks are making their own salad dressings, pressing the masa, frying tortilla chips, hand-cutting and blending the salsas for the free chips-and-salsa bar. They're flat-frying potatoes in demi-glace, chopping fresh-fruit pico, roasting poblanos and making their own chimichurri. While I'm not crazy about every little thing these guys do (the corn salsa, for example, is a little bland, and the rice is done in a dry Southern style, dirty with spices but nearly flavorless), I am crazy about the fact that they do it at all. Tin Star very easily could have been just another knock-off, cheap-jack, white-guy-in-a-sombrero nightmare of soggy chips and big-ass burritos, but that's not the way it went.
Jourde and his cooks made sure of that.
When Jourde decided to leave the software world for restaurants, he signed on to open the first Tin Star in Colorado, aligning with a company founded by Rich Hicks, a veteran of Brinker International and a serious pro. But Jourde made a rookie mistake at the start, saddling his venture with a tough location. Tin Star sits in the middle of a strip mall inexplicably constructed with its back alongside DTC Boulevard and its front facing the back yards of a housing development. From the street, the only clue that the restaurant exists at all is a small sign hung on a blank brick wall obscured by trees. And even once you find your way to the proper address, the entrance looks as banal and unexciting as any entrance could possibly look. Each tenant in this strip mall has an identical door, identical surface details, identical chairs lined up before identical tables set outside in identical patio spaces. Tin Star is surrounded by a Washington Mutual, a Smoothie King and a Peaberry Coffee, and if someone were to come along in the night and remove all the signs, it would be impossible to tell one business from another.

"Kona in a Cup": Everything you need to know about Kona coffee before you buy
by: Derek Paivaposted: Mon Mar 22, 2010 at 12:50 PM
With rich volcanic soil and a year-round mild climate, the Hawaiian Islands provide an ideal location for growing coffee. But the Kona Coffee Belt takes even these idyllic conditions a step further, says Virginia Easton Smith, an agricultural extension agent with the University of Hawai'i.
"In Kona, we have weather that's both cool enough and warm enough," says Easton Smith. "We have a lot of rain in the summer when the coffee is developing. For most of the harvest season—when a lot of the coffee is sun-dried—we have sunny, dry weather.
"We also have a long history of growing coffee here, compared to the rest of the state."
Coffee production in Hawaii thrived on large plantations through the mid-19th century until a worldwide drop in coffee prices nearly killed the industry in 1860. Another coffee-price boom and bust in the 1890s almost did the same, but this time changed the industry for good.
The smaller 2- to 5-acre independent farms that grow Kona coffee today are remnants of that change. Many were founded more than a century ago by Hawaii's multicultural immigrants who bought up small parcels of the big plantation lands.
Rising and falling coffee prices affected Kona farmers through the 20th century. But, in modern times, the industry has thrived, by wisely using Kona coffee's relative scarcity—it is grown on only 2,300 total acres, producing 2 million pounds annually—and its high price-per-pound to its marketing advantage.
The "100% Kona Coffee" label is now highly valued—certified and protected by Hawaii law. The coffee itself—with its exotic name and cost per pound double or triple that of other beans—is largely accepted by specialty coffee consumers as worthy of its price. Whether it deserves the price on taste alone, however, remains a debate in coffee circles.
One doubter is Hawaii coffee expert and consultant Shawn Steiman. "In general, Kona has produced better coffee than most coffee in the world over its long history," he says. "There are still pockets of really great coffee coming out. But, honestly, for Kona, I think most of [its success] is reputation right now."
Steiman points out that much of Kona's price comes from where it's grown—in the U.S., on an island in the middle of the Pacific. "Farmers have to contend with labor laws that other countries don't," he notes. "All coffee is flown out of Hawai'i to get it to market faster." Kona coffee farmers have high land, labor and transportation costs. That results in coffee whose price premium is sometimes not justified by its quality, in Steiman's view.

With the Raptors still just 17-years-old and perennially dealing with an identity crisis, or at least a relevance crisis on the NBA map, many tend to forget the role Toronto played in the history of professional basketball.
On this day 66 years ago, November 1, 1946, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens to open the Basketball Association of America, which three years later merged with the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association.
For the record, the NBA considers that 66-year-old Toronto/New York matchup the first game in league history.
I've always believed that one Knicks/Raptors game at the ACC every season should feature the Raps wearing Huskies unis. It just seems right, doesn't it? You know what else just seems right in hindsight, that the Huskies lost a two-point heartbreaker in their home/season opener – sound familiar?
H/T to Jay Satur for tweeting about the anniversary and to mashable.com for sharing the hard to find video

Seattle's waterfront: Visions of hottubs & gardens, but where's the cash?
There would be viewing platforms that reveal vistas of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. And cantilevered walkways made partially from glass, which would transmit sunlight to migrating salmon as they travel along the bay's seawall. A small beach would extend west from Pioneer Square, with water lapping the nearby sidewalk at high tide.
These are a few of the details in the latest "schematic design" for a Seattle waterfront park and open space that would stretch 26 blocks from the Stadium District to Belltown and, according to the Department of Planning and Development, provide about 20 new acres of city park space. The park's designer, James Corner, presented his plan for the space to an audience of several hundred people at Seattle Center on Wednesday. The design is about 30 percent complete and should be mostly finished by 2015, said Department of Planning and Development planning director, Marshall Foster.
The project could fundamentally transform Seattle's waterfront. But hundreds of millions of dollars that would be needed to pay for the proposed park remain unsecured. Building the park will also hinge on the demolition of the Alaskan Way Viaduct. The overpass is set to be torn down in 2016, shortly after the new Highway 99 Tunnel is scheduled to open. The tunnel project, however, is on hold for at least six months while the lead contractor repairs the machine digging the underground roadway.
The park would cap a multi-billion effort to remake the waterfront, which involves not only swapping the viaduct for the tunnel, but also replacing the Elliott Bay Seawall and rebuilding the surface road on Alaskan Way.
The cold realities of public finance and broken boring machines aside, the design offers a sweeping contrast to the downtown waterfront as it is today, separated from the rest of the city by the viaduct and the din of traffic flowing on top of the structure.
"For 50 years now we've been looking through a crumbly, deteriorating double-deck freeway, and we've been fenced off from our waterfront," said Jean Godden, who chairs a City Council committee that oversees waterfront issues. "It's time that we had a front door to our city."
Corner believes that the front door designed by his team reflects the city.
"A lot of things we're doing here we wouldn't do on another waterfront," he said. At one point during his presentation he called the design "peculiar to Seattle."
The design, Corner said, tries to avoid "chintzy," or "ritzy" devices, and strives to provide a "tough" and "pragmatic" place for strolling, viewing, biking and exercising. The designer's firm, James Corner Field Operations, also led-up the design of New York's High Line park, which is set atop an old railroad bridge, near the Hudson River in lower Manhattan.
There are nuanced flourishes. For instance, terrazzo concrete surfaces, embedded with small stones taken from the shores of Puget Sound. And "tabled" crosswalks, matched to the height of curbsides, which would prevent pedestrians from having to step down into the street. Wooden swings would provide a place to sit while taking in the panorama of Elliott Bay. There would be hanging vines, fir trees and 5-foot-tall tufts of swaying grass.
A proposed viewing platform would extend west from Union Street, over Alaskan Way. Image: City of Seattle
There are also grander highlights. One is a viewing terrace at the west end of Union Street, which would extend like a diving board over Alaskan Way, providing a perspective reminiscent of the one from the Viaduct. Another is a half-inch deep rectangular pool that would reflect the city skyline and, according to Corner, enable "people to take off their shoes and socks and get their feet wet." The pool would be bordered to the east by massive "sea stack" boulders and water jets spraying mist.

Two mentions of the rebuilt Alaskan Way. No mention that it is planned to be at least 6 and actually I believe 12 lanes of traffic blowing past. So, nasty, smelly, viaduct NOT at street level, or thin screen of immature trees between all these happy, frolicking new urban dwellers and bicycle and transit riding visitors and GROUND LEVEL traffic exceeding that the viaduct carries? Hmmm. Another brilliant "vision" from this Corner character.
The only thing with which I can agree is his distaste for the gondola. The only thing that I'd like about it would be if it would inconvenience or annoy the wealthy that are about to move in to the east side of Alaskan Way once their new condos are built. It would be a visual blight, and we citizens might reap a tiny bit of tax revenue for having to put up with it. I already think the "Great Wheel (!)" isn't so great, but does fit right in with the vision of a tourist-oriented waterfront. How about booths with scam games in the new park just like at any county or state fair, too?
Why aren't we hearing from you about the whole picture? Speaking of which, the first picture with this article gives a great idea of what the backdrop for this little urban paradise will be. Not my taste.
And we're seeing pictures in sunshine which is @25% of our year or so. What about the rest of the time? Anything like this down there will be mostly abandoned in winter/bad weather, and maybe in good weather if it continues to be impossible to park down there. And how do the ticky tacky tourist serving businesses, which are most of the businesses presently down there, going to fit in with this "vision?"
I am interested in balanced journalism. This doesn't appear to be balanced. It echoes the story printed in yesterday's Seattle Times, and read nearly verbatim by at least KING 5 and KPLU on their broadcasts yesterday. Aren't you media folks supposed to be providing us with something more than puff pieces or advertising? Aren't you supposed to be giving us a more complete picture and/or some context than we perhaps might otherwise be unable to access?
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 10:52 a.m.
I also attended the waterfront park event last night and came away with a much different conclusion, even though I arrived with much skepticism.
The new surface Alaskan Way has many lanes, but only south of the Colman Dock ferry terminal, the lanes being necessary to accommodate ferry traffic coming and going, and transit bus connections to Columbia Street.
North of the ferry terminal is where most of the park amenities will be located, and there Alaskan Way narrows to four lanes, plus an occasional left-turn pocket. Nothing at all like what mspat describes.
The big questions of course are how much is this all going to cost, who is going to pay, and over what period of time. That was my question submitted in writing as required, but it was one Marshall Foster chose not to read. Too bad. I guess we have to wait for months more to see any cost numbers or a funding plan.
This is all being billed as a new city park, and the City is intending to put a parks ballot measure to Seattle voters this August. City Council will have to finalize ballot details in the next couple months, way before solid numbers are known for waterfront park. Does the City intend to come back to voters for a second parks ballot measure to separately fund the waterfront project?
I think it would make more sense to hold off any parks ballot measure until the waterfront cost numbers are known, so voters can see the total picture first. It's a good project on the waterfront. No need to play divide and conquer with Seattle voters.
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 10:57 a.m.
You make some very good points. A plan view of the waterfront area would reveal the area devoted to automobile and truck traffic. Crosscut (and others) would much rather show the perspective drawings that can be (and are) manipulated to exaggerate the trees, flowers, walkways, etc. that occupy, I would guess, about 10% of the planned area. How much of the famous elevated park in Manhatten is devoted to auto and truck traffic? zero. It is not comparable to the local project but it is probably good public relations to unfailingly mention it.
Posted Thu, Mar 6, 4:17 p.m.
Old man yells at cloud.
Seriously, get with the times. Our city is growing, we have to accommodate that. If we want to become a world class city, I would certain hope that we would become welcoming to tourist, not attempt to drive them away. I will agree that some of the plans might be in excess, that's where community feed back is so vital. However, we have to replace the aged seawall anyways, not just for aesthetics, but for safety.

Hmmm. Ageism, and you don't know whether I'm an old man. And what exactly will it look like when we're a "world class city?" I don't think you, or anyone, has any idea. The "world class city" trope is politician speak for toadying to developers and sticking us with the bill whether we want it or not as far as I'm concerned. The size of our city not increasing; it's geographically limited, so that's something you might consider. However, we are cramming as many people as possible into nouveau tenements everywhere, destroying neighborhoods and producing congestion of all kinds and visual blight. That isn't my vision of a "world class city."

I've seen what this architect did in New York with the High Line. I've also see the designs so far and I think it is great. There are some parts of the design that I think is a bit pie in the sky and is not likely to happen but for the most part, I think this is a very good design. Now, if we can come up with the cash.

I was surprised that there was not more mention of the fingers of park extending into the uphill city, though perhaps that was just not included in the coverage or presentation. Also, where will the waterfront trolley go? First Ave. only (very narrow) or also on waterfront (costing another lane)? Lastly, how goes the planning for the ferry terminal, with park on roof of new building or what? With the ferry system in deep financial trouble, I suspect this part is on hold.
Posted Fri, Mar 7, 6:55 a.m.
David, I asked about restoration of the waterfront trolley, aka George Benson Streetcar Line, and I got the standard "we're looking at it" response. Which I interpreted as code for "ain't gonna happen." The people designing this and responsible for overseeing that design don't ride public transit, at least not on any regular basis. Their transit element now is an afterthought -- rubber tired buses on Alaskan Way. When I pressed the matter, they say tracks could be laid on the inside lanes of the new surface Alaskan Way, with center platform stations in the street median. An acknowledgement made with no detectable enthusiasm.
If the classic Melbourne W-2 cars have to come back, they prefer them on First Avenue, operating in between the new modern streetcars planned for that route -- never mind that it would require two sets of stations, one with high platforms for the classic cars, and one with low platforms for the modern cars. What a mess that would be. And First Avenue is a corridor that does not serve the waterfront.
People like me who want the classic streetcars returned to the waterfront are going to have to work hard to overcome rigid resistance.
Posted Fri, Mar 7, 1:51 p.m.
What's missing one again is the connection of the waterfront plan to
Pioneer Square, 1st Avenue, and most importantly the Pike Place Market. Once you add the amount of concrete planned for the markets connection to the waterfront you begin to think that the concrete/highway construction lobby has found a new home. I don't remember Seattle as loving naked concrete that much but then these are different times. I for one am underwhelmed by what the project architect has accomplished or is envisioning. Seems more like a project that would be home in New Jersey.

Wow! And the renderings show nary a motorized vehicle in sight! Way cool! And isn't that a one-way Alaskan Way in the rendering of the Union Street overlook? Nifty!
Truth in renderings, please. The rendered view being displayed to the public little resembles the result that will be realized by the work actually shown on the plan view. Public BEWARE! Renderings are pretty pictures, but will eliminate even the hint of an adverse impact. Take the time to read the plan view and to be skeptical of the pretty propaganda pictures.

Hello everyone,
My wife has a Dracaena Janet Craig houseplant which is almost 50 years old. She has owned it for her entire life. The problem is, this plant has grown to be almost 14 feet tall, with a thin trunk that must be supported by a sturdy pole. Furthermore, we have recently moved from Chicago to Seattle. The plant is presently living in my brother's house (luckily he had a tall ceiling). But we need to move it to Seattle. And to make matters worse, we are finding that housing in this part of the country is very expensive, and homes that have 2-story space in them tend to be even more expensive new construction. We are faced with either having a very very limited choice of homes to buy, or figuring out a way to solve our plant problem. My wife has wanted to cut the plant back for years. Both to enjoy it more, as well as to propagate it. But she is naturally afraid to hurt it. We really don't want to lose this plant. Please help us! |

Scott, if it was my tree, especailly a 50 yr old plant, I'd air-layer. Do it in sections..Since it's 14', do so in a little over 3' sections..After each section roots, add to the pot..instead of one cane, she'll have three at 3' heights. Some people just cut the trunk, root, then add to soil. This will also work. Because of its age, and time spent w/you and your wife, I'd not rid it, be it sell or discard. Good luck, Toni |

I was reading about air layering at this website: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM268.pdf And the document they wrote seems to imply that dracaena plants *require* this type of treatment. But information I've seen elsewhere on this site implies that you don't need to go to all that trouble. Some owners say they are very hardy plants, and you can just cut them down and stick them in the dirt. I'm confused about all this information. One consideration is that my brother and his wife are being very kind to care for the plant while we are relocating to Seattle from Chicago, but eventually we need to ship this plant to Seattle. Maybe we just cut it down when the time comes and stick it in our carry on luggage? Air layering requires alot of work, and creates an unsightly plant for a period of time. I am hesitant to put that burden on my brother's family as they care for our plant. And I'm not sure they would feel comfortable doing plant surgery. Oh boy... What is the consensus opinion? Is air layering really our only viable option? |
http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=46938&cat=2,47236 Someone posted this site a while back. A 50 year old treasure would be hard to simply "wack off". I think there are smaller devices like this one that might be more attractive. Good Luck Diane |
i used to have a Janet Craig & still have a corn plant. the cane's look identical! so i don't see why you can't just whack it into lengths, apply rooting horomones to the bottoms of the pieces, & stick it into dirt. granted it's current height is daunting, BUT! this just means longer pieces or more short pieces. i'd decide the number & height of the pieces i wanted. assemble pots & dirt & rooting horomone is very cheap. in a few weeks you'll have new growth at the cut edges & roots holding it up. lil. |

They knew they wouldnt get royalties because they created the product with activisions money, so they dont deserve anything. For instance, one of my friends designs gambling machines.

Breakfast Topic: Raiding: How easy is too easy? {WoW}
Feb 22nd 2009 5:44PM I think your right, society just caters to the lowest common denominator these days, but to be fair, its hardly Obamas world, hes laying the smack down on the banks he's helped, and hes only helping them so YOU dont lose all your money.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand:
The content is TOO easy, hard mode is okay, but TBH i would prefer another raid and have both more difficult, rather than just heroic hard mode ulduar or heroic easy mode ulduar. WoW might as well just not let you play, and just become a video that you watch and at the end of it you get free epics. Would be just as rewarding to me, and probably better for being drawn in etc.
Personally im in agreeance with Kanuris, the casuals just dont play as much. For me, my timeline of playing goes: Got WotLK > raced to 80 > did a tonne of heroics > cleared everything in a few weeks then did all achievements.
Nowadays, I only log in on raid days about 30 mins before raid to check stuff and make sure im ready. We only raid 2 days a week now because we clear everything in 2 nights, so really, am I a casual? If so, doesn't that point to the fact that if I can clear all content in 2 nights, that its easy epics?
Im not sure where blizz is going but if Ulduar is shite I may give up WoW and wait for the next gen MMO when things will actually be fresh, new, and different.

Frank Ferry installed as Mayor, vows to devote time to connecting children and teens to City Hall.
In a quick and mostly cheery Tuesday evening meeting, the City Council said good bye to 2008 and to Mayor Bob Kellar. His year-long term as Mayor ended , and he resumed his normal City Council duties.In his place, 11-year Council member Frank Ferry took the position, and followed his oath of office by thanking his family, his fellow Council members and the community.
He was quick to look to the future, and he didn't sugarcoat the challenges facing the City in the next 12 months.
"It's…not an easy year," he said, noting that the economic downturn has presented new obstacles.
However, he also noted that the City's history of responsible management has made it possible to work through the tough times.
"The decisions made in good times were more important than the decisions we make now," he assured, underlining that the City put aside a 15% reserve and kept staff numbers lean.
This, he said, will allow some major City projects to continue, even despite the overall slimming of the budget.
Projects like the new Santa Clarita Sports Complex additions , the Cross Valley Connector and the new library planned for downtown Newhall will continue their planning and construction phases.
And as every new Mayor does during the year, Ferry has chosen a special project in which to take the helm; connecting our kids with the City government.
He calls the program "Mayor Dude," and he announced that it will increase the City's outreach to local students. Ferry will personally visit schools throughout the year, and the students will be actively recruited to participate in community projects like River Rally, Make a Difference Day and others.
Ferry believes that by communicating with this Valley's youth, he can set a connection between them and their hometown. This, he hopes, will encourage them to take the lead in guiding the future of Santa Clarita.
"I want to one day get these kids up on this dais, or heading up our non-profits," he said.
Ferry will serve the next year as Mayor, and Council member Laurene Weste assumed the position of Mayor pro Tem.
In other Council news, The Henry Mayo/G&L Realty campus expansion plan was finalized, as the Developer Agreement was passed by a 3-2 vote. Bob Kellar and Marsha McLean dissented.
Public access television also got a shot in the arm, as the City Council unanimously voted to award a 6 month operational contract to SCV TV. Headed by Leon Worden, SCV TV has the support of a coalition of local media and educational outlets who are working with City staff to develop a plan to enrich the station with local content. The discussions and planning of the coalition will continue over the next 6 months, while the City works with SCV TV to purchase the necessary equipment to run Santa Clarita's Public Access Channel 20 using grants. As a result of a 2006 California bill, channel 20 will come under City control on January 1st.
The next Santa Clarita City Council meeting will be on January 13th.

Your book just bowed on the New York Times best-seller list. How does that compare with, say, winning a Grammy?
This feels like starting all over again. Nick Hornby posted on his Facebook, ''Has anyone read Questlove's Mo' Meta Blues? I'm in the middle of it and I'm loving every page.'' That made it worth it. High Fidelity is one of my all-time favorite flicks it's basically the movie version of [my life]. But I'm shocked that people have purchased the book, I'm shocked that they finished it in a week, and I'm glad they love it. I'm happy.
Was it hard to get into personal things?
Well, [the Roots] haven't had any Mötley Crüe or Hammer of the Gods moments, and I've never done any Keith Moon Cadillac-in-the-pool stuff. I'm always someone's costar. It gets hard sharing stories about stuff that happened to you in a Forrest Gump ''I was there'' type of way. But Rich [Nichols, his manager] insisted that our story was unique, because I'm one of the few hip-hop stories that wasn't mired in tragedy or criminology.
You write a lot about how you and [Roots frontman] Tariq ''Black Thought'' Trotter met, and how different you are.
The only way I can describe it is that I'm like Jennifer Grey in Ferris Bueller when she meets Charlie Sheen. It took a while for us to just get used to each other. The irony is that we've totally changed places: Rich joked that Tariq will spend a couple thousand on his Grammy suit, and I'll have an old mustard stain on my tuxedo. We're just opposites.
There are some great passages where you go deep into the music you loved at certain points in your life.
I can honestly say that 85 percent of my life has always had a soundtrack to it. I'm able to recall dates and things, but the things that really trigger my memory are Soul Train episodes and certain records. The first car accident I was ever in, an ex of mine was listening to [Alanis Morissette's] Jagged Little Pill. We were listening to ''Ironic,'' and we just wiped out. So that's how I remember certain things, always.
You've played with legends on Late Night and even backed up the president. Who's left on your dream guest list?
I would say Sting, but he actually sat in with us. He happened to be in the hallway while we were about to do our warm-up song, and I said, ''I know it's weird, but if you've got 10 minutes, can you sing 'Walking on the Moon' real quick, before you go do your interview on MSNBC or whatever?'' And he said, ''I got 20 minutes, okay.'' But Stevie Wonder I would love, and I wish Kanye would accept our offer. We've approached him nine or ten thousand times, and it's always been a resounding no. But a guy can dream!

The medical staff at Fountain of Youth Medical Spa rely on lasers to reverse signs of aging and erase skin blemishes. They calibrate their noninvasive beams to achieve a range of effects, from tightening skin and boosting collagen production to vanquishing unwanted hair, tattoos, acne, or brown spots. Whatever the aim, the team listens to clients' expectations during consultations, which kick off every visit.
Contour Dermatology bolsters patients struggling with friction-inducing strands and stubble with safe, comfortable laser hair-removal techniques. Over the course of three sessions, medically trained staffers teleport black or brunette fuzz from the face or body to a far-off galaxy by aiming a low-energy GentleLase beam at follicular bases. Charged particles carry enough energy to blast away the melanin inside errant bristles but leave the surrounding skin healthy and unharmed. Like planning a date for your parents, the procedure can be slightly uncomfortable, so technicians employ a cool laser tip, gel, or spray to soothe the skin and help spare nerves undue unpleasantness. Most complexions are acceptable candidates for laser hair removal, but clients with a very dark complexion may be subject to a spot test to ensure effective treatment. Clients need three to six sessions on average to impede ill-placed tufts during the active phase of each follicle's growth cycle.
We have a large medical spa and nationally accredited surgery center. We offer just about any treatment imaginable, from laser hair removal to botox. we offer juvederm, acne lasers and prescription strength skin care and acne products. we are known for our friendly staff and quality work.
Dedicated solely to laser tattoo and laser hair removal, Dr. Tattoff clinics have performed more than 200,000 procedures total, and have garnered national attention from press such as the New York Times and People magazine. The business's specialized approach relies on experience—procedures are performed by clinicians who have performed thousands of treatments each—and science, which is especially evident through the Kirby-Desai scale. Created in-house, the Kirby-Desai scale enables doctors to accurately determine how many treatments a tattoo needs for complete removal as well as the tattoo's weight, in case patients want to mail it to their past selves as a warning. Dr. Tattoff devotes similar scrutiny to its laser hair-removal treatments, and the clinic backs both procedures with steadfast guarantees.
Rejuv Laser Spa's list of treatments ranges far and wide, from anti-aging serums and dermal fillers to laser hair removal and cosmetic surgery. What sets the med spa apart, though, is their board-certified surgeon, Dr. Charles Sarosy, who draws on 16 years of on-the-job experience to perform his various procedures. He gives a consultation to each of his clients, helping them to manage expectations, ensure safety, and learn industry secrets that will allow them to win any game of laser tag. His staff of assistants administers beauty injections and also aids with laser lipo, tattoo removal, or microdermabrasion treatments.
At the O'Neil Skin and Lipo Medical Center, an accredited surgery center, Dr. Kelly O'Neil enlists SmartLipo technology to remove fat and tighten skin. In preparation for the one- to three-hour fat-banishing treatment, patients receive an intravenous sedation, leaving nerves calmer than a tranquilized sloth in a zen garden. Next, the doctor injects the desired area with anesthetic fluid, which in combination with high-frequency vibrations readies the extra padding for easy removal. The doctor's steady hands lead the SmartLipo—a slim tube containing a laser fiber—into the area to rupture fat cells and make the skin taut and firm.

Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cinnamon cassia
Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Most Americans consider cinnamon a simple flavoring, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it's one of the oldest remedies, prescribed for everything from diarrhea and chills to influenza and parasitic worms. Cinnamon comes from the bark of a small Southeast Asian evergreen tree and is available as an oil, extract, or dried powder. It's closely related to cassia ( C. cassia) and contains many of the same components, but the bark and oils from C. zeyleanicum are thought to have a better flavor.
Based on the results of one preliminary double-blind, placebo-controlled study, cinnamon has been widely advertised as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes as well as high cholesterol. However, the evidence for this is mixed.
Germany's Commission E approves cinnamon for improving appetite and relieving indigestion; however, these uses are not backed by reliable scientific evidence.1
Two animal studies weakly suggest that an extract of cinnamon bark taken orally may help prevent stomach ulcers.2,3
Preliminary results from test tube and animal studies suggest that cinnamon oil and cinnamon extract have antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic properties.4-10 For example, cinnamon has been found to be active against Candida albicans, the fungus responsible for vaginalyeast infections and thrush (oral yeast infection), Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers), and even head lice. However, it's a long way from studies of this type to actual proof of effectiveness. Until cinnamon is tested in double-blind human trials, we can't conclude that it can successfully treat these or any other infections.

UPDATE: Thanks to all who came out to enjoy ARTCRANK Denver 2014 on Saturday, August 23 at Ink Lounge. We were proud to show off bike-inspired posters created by local artists to our largest crowd ever in Denver.
A houseful of thirsty bike art lover and some tasty refreshments by our friends at Oskar Blues helped us raise $2,000 to benefit CAN'd Aid Foundation and its grassroots grants to fund new ideas in outdoor recreation, art, and music.
We couldn't have put on the show without generous support from Timbuk2, Shinola, Neenah Paper, and Clif Bar — companies that support everyday cycling and independent artists in Denver and across the U.S. through our events.
Please check back for updates, and follow ARTCRANK on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest news. And if you'd like to see photos and videos from previous events, connect with us on Flickr and Vimeo as well. See you soon!

At the new Qantas first-class lounge at Los Angeles International Airport, you can relax, eat, work, freshen up with a shower -- all in remarkable style.
Qantas opened its First Lounge last month at the airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal. It's for first-class passengers and top-tier Qantas and Oneworld club members.
It's the third premium lounge to open at the redesigned terminal.
Air New Zealand and Korean Air operate premium lounges at the Bradley terminal. Two more, an Emirates lounge and an international lounge airlines can choose to join, are under construction. There's also room for a sixth lounge that's in negotiation, according to airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
So what's the new Qantas lounge like?
The frosted-glass and marble entryway is identical to lounges in Melbourne and Sydney. Marc Newsom designed the space, which has a honeycomb pattern -- at the entrance, behind the bar, in the carpet -- that repeats throughout the 17,500-square-foot lounge.
The accent...
Read moreThe Queen Mary will spend at least part of her 80th birthday with a royal relative. For the first time, the modern-day Queen Elizabeth will dock aside the historic Cunard ship-turned-hotel in Long Beach next Thursday.
"The Elizabeth will berth adjacent to the Queen Mary and her arrival will begin a day-long series of events and activities to celebrate the unprecedented meeting of ships," Queen Mary's general manager John Jenkins said in an announcement Wednesday.
The luxury Cunard Line ship is expected to arrive at 7 a.m. and leave around sunset the same day, according to the statement. This year also marks the 175th year since Cunard Line's first transatlantic crossing.
The Queen Mary will be free to visitors from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 5) and will offer special tours and a bagpipe salute. (The back of the Queen Mary offers the best viewing area for visitors to watch a whistle salute between the two ships and fireworks.)
The original Queen Elizabeth was the sister ship to...
Read moreNext time you go to Yosemite National Park, look for a new and rarely seen visitor: the Sierra Nevada red fox.
Park officials announced Wednesday that cameras set up in the far northern part of the park twice confirmed a sighting of the fox that hasn't been seen in Yosemite for 100 years.
Park wildlife biologist Sarah Stock said in the statement that Yosemite's "vast alpine wilderness provides an opportunity to join research partners in helping to protect this imperiled animal."
Likely fewer than 50 of the Vulpes vulpes necator, as the species is known, are left in the wild, according to the announcement. It also is on the state's list of threatened animals.
The Sierra Nevada red fox, one of two native fox species in the park, has dark red fur on its back and head, and a white tip on the tail. It's notoriously shy too. (If you see a fox, it may be an introduced species of fox, which also thrive in Yosemite.)
The cameras snapped photos twice -- Dec. 13 and Jan. 4 -- within Yosemite's...
Read moreMore than 115 million people nationwide are expected to stay home Sunday and watch the Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
That means short lift lines and open ski slopes, said Evan Reece, co-founder and chief executive of Liftopia.com, the nation's largest mobile and online marketplace for advance-purchase lift tickets.
"Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best days of the year to get out on the mountain. There's always time to start the day on the snow with some friends before you spend some time on the couch with some friends. Burning a few calories makes the wings all the more enjoyable," Reece said.
To lure schussers to the slopes, Liftopia is offering significant discounts before the 3:30 p.m. Sunday West Coast kickoff time. Here are some examples, with more available at Liftopia.com:
Mt. Baldy: Save up to 62% off the walk-up rate with lift tickets starting at $25.
Snow Valley: Save up to 45% off the walk-up window rate with lift tickets starting at $34....
Read moreIf you're lucky enough to be traveling in Hawaii right now, you've likely seen humpback whales breaching and slapping the water. At this time of year, they're pretty hard to miss.
Humpbacks make the more than 4,000-mile journey from Alaska to Hawaii typically between December and April. Sightings are best in January and February when babies are born, and moms with their young can be seen off the coast of several islands.
(In Southern California, gray whales can be seen along the coast making their migration from the Bering Sea to Mexico's Baja Peninsula and back.)
If you want to go whalewatching, many companies operate seasonal tours right now. If you book ahead of time online, you're likely to find a discount. Also bear in mind that boats aren't allowed within 100 yards of a whale — neither are humans swimming or paddling.
Kauai: You'll find morning and afternoon tours leaving from Port Allen on the west side of the island. The Na Pali Coast is the perfect place to go whale watching,...
Read moreTalk about a rock star! The luxury Seven Seas Explorer won't sail until next year, but the cruise ship already is breaking sales records for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The cruise line announced this week that demand for the top-tier ship helped push sales for a single day at three times the company's previous record.
"The maiden voyage is nearly sold out and demand for the inaugural season is extremely strong," James Montague, president and chief operating officer of Regent, said in a statement.
Regent had released details about the ship, still under construction, earlier this month. The response was enthusiastic when reservations opened Jan. 19 to past Regent cruise passengers only.
Steven E. Shulem of Strictly Vacations in Santa Barbara told TravelPulse that he sold just under half-a-million dollars on the Seven Seas Explorer after reservations opened.
Regent repeatedly says it's setting "a new standard for luxury vacations" with the launch of the Seven Seas Explorer, which will...

Creative Ideation "Los Angeles Poster"
This was a poster I did for Creative Ideation that had to advertise Los Angeles in some unconventional way. I chose to highlight the people of LA's uniqueness, and how people here have been and will always be unique. The car culture here is a great example of this, and within that, Hot Rod culture is the epitomy of "Unique." A hotrod of yesterday, and a hotrod of tomorrow....

Do you have a photo of where you saw them?
While we were in Tomorowland, we found some plastic gems stacked up on some rocks. The fact they were left there appeared to be intentional, and they were out of easy public view (but visible and accessible to children), so I was wondering if anyone knows if these are part of some Tomorrowland "search", sort of like the paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer Island. Has anyone heard of this?
Do you have a photo of where you saw them?
I do not have a photo unfortunately, there were several, maybe 10, on the rocks on the side of the walkway between the tomorrowland terrace noodle station and the area of the park with Stitch's Great Escape.

Jan. 23, 2014
By: Andrew Rich COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- USA Basketball announced that 28 players have been selected to their 2014-2016 Men's National Team pool on Thursday morning, and the list included former Fresno State and current Indiana Pacer star Paul George. He will join the group of stars to compete for spots on the 2014 USA World Championship Team and the 2016 Olympic Team, should the United States qualify. George, who was drafted by the Pacers with the 10th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, is enjoying a breakout season that has elevated him to superstar status in the league. He is averaging 23.3 points in his third season and currently is receiving the second most All-Star Game votes in the Eastern Conference, behind only LeBron James. The Palmdale, Calif., native played two seasons for the Bulldogs. George finished with a career scoring average of 15.5 points and pulled down almost seven rebounds a game for Fresno State. He now is the leader of a Pacers team that has the best record in the NBA at 33-8. George will be joined by a long list of superstars that includes James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony. He is one of two players that played at a Mountain West Conference school, joined by San Diego State's Kawhi Leonard. "Catch the Wave!" - 2013-14 Fresno State men's basketball tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at www.gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

Drive Technology, a Chester-based race team, is gearing up for the K & N series' Blue Ox 100 on Thursday evening at Richmond International Raceway. The goal for team owner Shayne Lockhart and his driver, 19 year old Sam Hunt is to eventually be racing under the lights on Saturday night. The team, comprised of many Chester residents, is poised to do so.
"We've got a very dedicated crew; we're here working to get better," said Lockhart. "Most of our crew members remain dedicated while balancing full-time jobs and families."
The crew is led by 1981 Thomas Dale graduate Lockhart and also features 2003 Dale grad and Village News photographer Jesse Vaughan, the team's tire specialist. Lead mechanic Chris Matthews, graduated from Dale in 1993. Billy Hudson also attended Thomas Dale before graduating from Hopewell, and crew member Rodney Estes is a Chester resident. Driver Sam Hunt hails from Chesterfield County, and graduated from James River.
"It's important to not only be surrounded with knowledgeable people but people that also genuinely care about your success," said Hunt. "This team has all of those things."
Hunt started racing go-karts at the age of six, and in 2007 at the age of 14, he won the Maxxis National Championship for kart racing. In 2009, Hunt won his first late model stock car race. Hunt posted his best finish in the NASCAR K & N series, finishing 6th on April 6 in Greenville, South Carolina. The K & N series is similar to the AA of NASCAR, just a couple of steps from "the show."
Lockhart met Hunt back in 2008 when Hunt's family purchased a late model stock car from him. Chesterfield resident and Sam's kart crew chief Larry Hollowell introduced the two. After becoming friends with the family, Lockhart helped as a spotter as Hunt toured with the K & N series in 2012. In 2013, Lockhart brought Hunt in full-time, seeing great potential in him as a driver.
"Sam is coachable and has good car control," said Lockhart. "He knows when to push the envelope and when to let off at the right time," explained Lockhart. "He's young but he's been racing now for 13 years," he continued. "That's something that is very attractive to potential teams and car owners."
Lockhart built his own reputation as a local racing legend, winning 64 late model stock car races and qualifying for 72 poles in his career. Racing since 1990, Lockhart still runs races at local tracks at Langley Speedway and Southside Speedway. From 1998-2000, Lockhart raced in what is now called the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Series (Trucks) under NASCAR. Now Lockhart is working to develop Hunt to move to the next level.
"I looked up to Shayne as a driver, and as a role model," said Hunt. "He's helped me a great amount with my racing, I'm excited to drive in Richmond on Thursday."
The thrill of competing driving a race car isn't comparable to much according to Lockhart and Hunt.
"Racing is great because you have the adrenaline pumping as hard as it can go and you have to stay focused," explained Hunt. "You truly have to take control of something that is out of control."
While a good driver is absolutely necessary for success, Hunt is quick to point out that being the driver is only a fraction of the work.
"I like the fact that this is a team sport," said Hunt. "I might drive the car but that's probably only 10 percent of the effort that goes into this thing every race."
Team work extends beyond each individual team in racing, as teams will often help each other out. Most teams are located in close proximity to Charlotte, North Carolina, deemed as the "hub" of NASCAR. Being located in Richmond has presented some challenges, but team work has helped Lockhart and his crew.
"The preparations that go into this are key," said Lockhart. "Everyone helps everyone, we're a big family," he continued. "But on race day, it's every man for himself."
The "every man for himself" mantra only exists on the track, as Lockhart and Hunt have gone out into the community participating in events such as Enon Elementary School's career day, and making an appearance the Children's Museum in Richmond this past Monday.
"Giving back to the community is important," said Lockhart. "It's giving back to our fans, our sponsors, all the people that support us."
For updates on Hunt, follow him on twitter @SamHunt22. Get out there and enjoy race weekend, it only comes twice a year. For all of your local sport updates, follow @VNewsSports on twitter.

Continuing the traditions.Linking those who love them.
An amazing collection of English sea shanties taken on open-reel tape in the early '50s for a BBC program recorded by Peter Kennedy. Most vocalists are old men who were on the ships, a couple are younger (& better) singers who heard it first hand from the old-timers. Recording quality varies greatly. You want this CD, not because it's slick & polished, but because it's a cast in amber of the rhythm, style, and grace of these old songs that just can't be carried forward on paper.

I hope I have posted this in the correct location. It seems that there are many different trades of people on this board that might have insight into my questions.
We are considering purchased a home built in 1982. It is a fully poured concrete home with steel beams. The full exterior walls on the 1st floor and the 1st floor ceiling are all poured concrete. It is a strange sensation to walk in an attic of a home and to have a cement floor. :) What issues should look for (have an inspector look for) that might be specific to concrete construction? I should add that there is no evidence of movement or cracking, in either the attic floor or the brick veneer on the exterior. Nor is there any evidence of movement (cracking) in the interior drywall framed walls or the tile floors (18" porcelain tiles). Insulation, ventilation and moisture control seem to be items to be most concerned about. Any thoughts??? Thanks-

I should add that we are in NE Oklahoma. The home is on a foundation. This is a very unusual form of building for our area. |

In fall 2007, TU opened nearly 400 one and two bedroom apartments and townhouses on campus. These apartments were constructed in 18 apartment buildings that are clustered into three student living areas -- Brown Village, Mayo Village, and Lorton Village. The apartments serve the housing needs of both undergraduate and graduate students, and all of the new units were rented within the first three weeks they were offered. These new apartment communities are an integral part of TU's commitment to developing a vibrant campus community.

It's getting tougher to put things away (like most of us here)... as I expand my collections.
I did some rearranging on my two small hutches and was able to put some of the new things I bought, on display. I also ordered a Extra Large Metal Office Cabinet on line, that DH is putting together for me. It's going in the basement, and that should help store many seasonal pieces. What I like about it, is that I won't have to pack eveything in bins all the time (it's so much work). Also, this winter when I was at Home Depot, they had a sale on modular shelf units (real cheap) & (quite strong) and I bought several of them to put down there too. I'm an 'organized neat freak' and I've got to have things stored that way...or I get 'ugly' !! lol Anyway...here are some of my 'new TS goodies' in place... Bunny Rabbit..is nice and cozy snuggled in this hutch,
This is the large Tureen that I was interested in buying...but didn't know that the man wanted to sell EVERYTHING with it for just $5... This piece alone was worth much more than that... On my small white hutch...I put some of those $5 dishes.. also the Duck Tureen...He might be a little too large for this space...I'm still deciding if I should move him or not...what do you think? On the left is a large pitcher that was part of the $5 dishes... I also put the little Ironstone covered dish in front of it.. and snuggled in the back is one of the cups that Punk sent me. On the middle shelf...on the left, is the Small Tureen from the same set of $5 dishes..(can you imagine all that was part of the sale)...? I also stacked some of the cups from the set.. Finally, on the top shelf - on the left, is the Original Teapot that I had and now I have a Sugar & Creamer to go with it... I had to put away several pieces to make room for all the new/old things...but that's okay - they'll work good there probably thru the Summer !

Jane, I am green with envy, not only for the great $5 dishes but esp for your basement storage. I would love to have a basement. You did a great job of displaying everything. the pink and white dishes complement each other so well. beautiful!, Tfs, Janet |

Jane, first you taunt us with what a great deal you found on the dishes, and now you rub it in by creating this fabulous display in your hutch!!! It looks maah-vuh-lus dahling! I also love the bunny in his new home. I wish I had space for 2 hutches like yours. I love how you are able to create all the different displays. Wowza, great job. TFS, |

Wow, your TS finds are looking GOOD! I was LOL today as I got to go on a day trip w/some former co-worker friends & here I came across the coffee pot & small tureen in your new white dish pattern! (knowing that you need a top for your coffeepot...but the price was too high!) I love these dishes w/your Ironstone...looks very lovely...the rabbit, WOW...fits there quite nicely! And your large tureen looks beautiful on the side table or entry table? You got a 'pitcher,' too! WOW! What a find! I did get a few nice things today ... a couple of ceramic baby chicks...pair for $3 & a couple unusual patterned soft yellow napkins ... plus 4 dragonfly napkin rings...& 4 bamboo napkin rings...a very good day w/special friends! Now I must find time to post something soon...TFS, jane...your displays are wonderful! Jeanne S. |
Jane, I get a little unhappy when things don't have a special place too. I don't have a basement but alot of cupboards, 4 china cabs, lg entertainment center and closets for storing all my finds. I also have a lg shop but like to keep seasonal things out there. I really like your new displays and we all need a change now and then. How are you going to decide what dishes to use on your next white ts? You have so many pretty pieces to choose from. DS just ask if I would clean his home while he's gone for the long weekend. I was thinking I would catch up on some of my own things but I know I will be spending alot of time organizing his place instead. Jeanne, hope you share a picture of your new goodies. Nice to hear you had a fun day w/friends. Punk |
Thanks ladies... Glad you liked where I put my TS finds. janet..I just recenly started to spread out to the basement. I prefer the attic, but I think it would be real hard not having that basement for overflow. I think then, for sure, I'd have to have a shed !! lol candy, the small black hutch is in my DR across from my Large Hutch with glass doors. I found a way to add a second one to the room. You're right, you don't to see your displays with the doors. The small white hutch DID have doors at one time. When DH made it, I orginally wanted the doors..then after having it that way for yrs...decided to have him remove them - and paint it shabby white, for a whole different look - jeanne...sounds like you had a Realy Nice day with friends...and did some fun shopping too! Awww I'm touched you thought of me when you saw that coffee pot. Remember it's ONLY the top I need...lol The table with the tureen on it, is in my DR. Punk...when you're finished with your DS house...can you swing by mine ??? !! lol You are a good Momma! jane |

You made them all fit right in Jane, they look wonderful! Yep, the bunny is for anytime of the year, he's darling. These ironstone pieces sure go well with your red/white too. Wish I had a basement too, although Kathleen oftens moans about having to carry things up and down her's. I still remember when Judith was going to put storage shelves in her garage for the "overflow", remember? Luvs |
Jane, you did a wonderful job displaying your new treasures! I love your red transfer ware. The Ironstone complements it beautifully. TFS NanaK |

Thanks Karen... Frou..Luvs.. Nana - Marlene As much as I enjoy 'finding' great buys...It's really getting harder and harder to store them..I'm beginning to feel like a 'hoarder'..and I'm always thinking that one day when I'm gone..they're going to say ' this was one crazy lady' with so much 'junk' !!

It looks beautiful! All displayed so nicely! I need you to come organize my basement. But just carrying things up and down has become quite a pain. I am trying to carve out more room on the main floor for the dishes for tablescapes, but I don't know where else to stash the stuff! I really must purge...really! :) |
Thanks Kathleen... I'm with you on carrying things up from the basement...but I really have no choice. Ever since DD and the kids moved in, I've given up half my house! So this is the best I can do for now. It's either that or - like you - 'purge'! jane |
Jane, I was looking through you post again and I noticed the silver cigarette box... [sorry I missed it the first time]. I have one like it, mine has a matching lighter. Great little conversation piece. There was a time when entertaining a good hostess would have cigarettes available for her guests. NanaK |
Nana...you're right - cigarettes/fancy ashtrays & lighters were 'Must Haves' !! I was talking to my Dad about when he was in the Army during WW11 and they were given cigarettes free...He said that's when he started to smoke - it calmed your nerves..! Who Knew !! jane |
