I've been thinking a lot about various companion plantings. I have been considering just sprinkling my yards with a couple of different things to repel various insects that I don't care to have around and getting into the house. I'm thinking about scattering Anise, Penny royal, sage,marigold and tansy in my yards. I'm wondering what others think of this and if anyone's tried it. I try to garden organically and to stay away from insecticides in the house as well, but I have an adorable Boston Terrier that I'd prefer not carry fleas and ticks into the house (not to mention Bostons have very sensitive skin and having to bathe him a lot makes it worse, as do the pests in the first place) and flies are disgusting and bother me. I've got several things planted that attract beneficial insects, now I'm thinking on keeping out the ones that "bug" me.
So, has anyone done this, does it help? Does it keep out beneficial insects? Does it still work even with mowing over the various herbs? Oh, and if anyone knows of something that helps with German cockroaches, I'd appreciate it. One of my friends took something out of her public storage building only to find that apparently someone in one of the boxes near her has these pests, so she's looking for organic ways to deal with it both to make sure her house is clear and to put in her storage. She's reported it to the managers, but wants to take her own evasive steps too. I didn't know of anything and haven't had experience with these buggers, and told her I'd ask for advice here. I know Misha would very much appreciate anything that would be helpful as one of her children seems to be very allergic to the spoor. Thanks!

Here is a bit of info on German cockroaches. I have also heard that borax can be used to kill them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Catnip and Osage Orange
Lasagna gardening was a brain fart at first, but that works. Wintersowing was a bigger brain fart, I thought no way thats going to work, but its working. I say go for it! I agree about the borax, I saw carpenter ants LEAP over a trail of it to get away from my house. |

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 Callie!
Facts about Callie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Callie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Callie (DSH, Tabby-Calico, young adult, F)
My name is Callie and I am a very lovely little cat. I was abandoned in the
country and was having a very hard time finding food. I was very thin and
hungry. Fortunately someone noticed my distress and helped get me into
foster care. But my foster mother had a terrible house fire recently and I
now have to live outside in a pen. I get along with other felines and even
dogs. I have a very gentle disposition and need a home desperately.
Could you possibly find room for me? Adoption fee $50.00. Adoption application available on our website at...www.DumpsterCats.org
Other Pets at Dumpster Cats Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Callie, a Kirkwood Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Kirkwood, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Kirkwood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm going to be installing a French drain around much of the perimeter of the house shortly and would also like to bury my gutter drainage at the same time.
I understand not to dump my gutter runoff into the French drain pipes, but what I am curious about is can I utilize the same trench and "stack" the pipes? So it would be, starting lowest to highest (excluding the fabrics)
Or, is this a bad idea and will make the French drain less effective? In which case, I would need 2 parallel drain lines that I can "Y" together farther from the house. I will be having a small backhoe doing the trenches, so it will not be much of an issue. If they must be parallel, I would presume that the storm water drainage should be farther away from the foundation than the French drain? My plan was to have the French trench 4 feet from the foundation to drain a soggy yard as well as keep water from seeping into the basement. Thanks for the help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
By "French drain" I'm assuming you mean perimeter drain or foundation drain. So...assuming I'm right in my assumption, that is what we do up here in one of the wettest climates around. Just be sure your top pipes (the rain leaders) are deep enough to allow someone to cultivate the beds. It passes code, just make sure you have the right pipe if you are going under a driveway. Oh, and by "gravel" I hope you mean drain rock. We use the same white (PVC, I think) pipe top and bottom, 4" for the foundation, 3" for the rain leaders. Glue it all, slope it all and for goodness sakes wrap it all...I still see folks laying newspaper down |
Had a thought while driving down the highway, funny what we think of as we go along. I wrote: "We use the same white (PVC, I think) pipe top and bottom, 4" for the foundation, 3" for the rain leaders." Need to be certain you know this; you use perforated pipe for the perimeter drains and solid pipe for the rain leaders. And remember, clean outs are your friend. Put them in and use them. |
- Posted by bmoore2010 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 17:21
Thanks for the reply. Yes, by gravel I mean drainage rock. Now for the pipe, I'm using a combination. PVC for the north side of the house, which will contain cleanouts and the rain leaders in the same trench. So perforated PVC for the "french" line and solid for the rain leaders. On the south side, I am using the slotted black corrugated because it will be buried entirely and empty into a gravel bed. I went back and forth on this one but figured since it will be entirely burried, socked, and have landscape fabric around it, I would be safe going with the cheap (and easy) alternative. Any thoughts on that approach? |
I'd bury it all, why not? The black, corrugated stuff works, it just collects debris. Rain washes granules off the roof, your gutters carry organic stuff down and all that catches in those ribs. Drop a chunk of cement and some other construction rubble down a downspout, have your fabric allow a bit of fines to sift through and before you realize it it slows up enough to back up. Then you have to power jet it or dig it all up and replace it. I can see a production builder using it for cost reasons but we do a house every year and a half (new) and maybe reno one or two others in that time and if we have to do the drains we use PVC. Its done once and forget it. I like the forget it part, especially if we retain the home and rent it out. |

At Stephen Alan Salon, the beauty team not only works their skills to make people look great, but keeps the environment looking good, too. When foil strips are removed after hair highlighting, they're balled up and tossed into the recycling bin, not into the trash. Then, hair is styled with cruelty-free Paul Mitchell products and energy-efficient hair tools. And if the client wants a drink? They get it in a reusable glass instead of a paper cup or a coal-powered mug. Even hair clippings here are spared from the trash and donated to Matter of Trust, a renewable resource organization.
Though Stephen Alan Salon's record of sustainable practices and eco-friendly measures draws its own fair share of clients, many visit for a simpler reason: the stylists are experts at what they do. From perms and haircuts to platinum-blond treatments and extensions, their main talent is in getting hair to look its best. But the beauty options don?t stop at 'dos. Manicures, waxing, sugaring, and makeup artistry are also among the team's strengths, along with bench-pressing their salon chairs.
Beautifying skin is the top priority at Esthetics at Nautique. The staff tackles this task with facials, waxing, and body wraps. Soothing pumpkin enzyme facials refresh skin in just an hour, and anti-aging facials fight signs of age, from crow's-feet and wrinkles to birthday alerts popping up on foreheads.
The staff at Spa Vargas Wellness pampers bodies and minds with luxurious spa services that deploy the spa's own line of naturally sourced products. Moving to their new location, the team at the Pheasant Run Resort outfits clients with cozy robes and slippers before inviting them to relax in an aromatherapy waiting room, which is more fragrant than a dessert buffet at Strawberry Shortcake's house. Nimble hands can exfoliate skin with a sea-salt or mud scrub, and the spacious Moroccan-style Vichy shower rejuvenates skin during hydrotherapy treatments. The calm-inducing crew passes on kneading know-how to up-and-coming massage therapists and play-doh sculptors at Spa Vargas University.
Tucked away in downtown St. Charles, Eliza Jane's girlie-girl boutique glimmers with trendy accessories and colorful jewelry crafted by 35 local artists, three of who are teen entrepreneurs. A pressed tin ceiling and soft lights hang above a hardwood floor, where the colors pink and white feature strongly among accessories—such as kitchsy purses, vintage bracelets, and stuffed animals—that overflow from tall glass shelving units and tables covered with printed cloth. After customers snag a specialty gift for baby, teacher, or self, Eliza Jane's staff can swaddle it in complimentary pink and brown wrapping. Ladies in need of a pick-me-up can pamper bodies with nonchip mani-pedis, facials, and waxing treatments.
At CS Massage, a licensed massage therapist calls on a fully stocked toolbox to thwart everyday tension and chronic pain. There are the standards, of course, such as traditional Swedish and deep-tissue techniques. But customers will also find more unusual apparatuses in their tranquil, private treatment rooms, such as lava stones, body brushes, and cups for Chinese cupping therapy. The therapists use these tools to soften the skin and suss out tightness lurking in deeper muscle layers as their clients recline on heated, Tempur-Pedic-topped massage beds, their noses savoring aromatherapy scents and their necks fully supported by cushioned wraps and "Neck for President" wall signs.
Doctor Landon Pryor and his team of medical professionals enhance their clients' aesthetic appeal with cosmetic treatments that smooth skin and fight signs of aging. Laser energy removes unwanted hair on the body by heating the follicle and removes unsightly veins without disrupting neighboring tissues, prompting them to call the cops. Trained RNs inject crumpled skin with dermal fillers that plump surfaces or inhibit muscle activity that cause wrinkles. Meanwhile, cosmetic surgery lifts, reduces, or enhances specific body parts to build confidence and alleviate discomfort.

Kenmore Elite (Broan) range hood with 4 x 50watt MR16 GU10+C bulbs.
We were running it off 3 bulbs since one had burned out, gently. I push the control to go all the way to 3rd level, 50 watt brightness, and another bulb blows, bright flash, the whole unit shuts down, silence. I go flip the breaker and it comes back on, fan works fine, but now the lights won't go off. Control module now has a shorted light circuit, fused, on permanently, according to the Broan tech I spoke with. No fixing the control module. Now, I'm having trouble finding what the GU10 +C base of the bulbs is, exactly. I find only one reference to a -C base having a built in fuse so that a violent blowout like that won't trip the breaker. Obviously this did not happen for me and a simple bulb burning out has now turned into a terrifying possibility of a $100 control module if/everytime it shorts again like that. So, can someone clarify is there a GU10-C that would have saved my control unit, as opposed to just picking up some regular GU10 Sylvania or GE's at the store? Thanks |

Traditionally in the commercial or entertainment lamp industry, a notation of +C on a GU10 simply refers to plus cover. Often an additional glass will be over the lamp for color, safety or emmissions control. That in and of itself would not have had any effect on your lamp blowing issue. GU10's are 120v lamps not low voltage MR16s, if that helps. Tony |
Thanks for the help, that clears it all up for me. Sounds like I should be able to just pick up some decent brand name lights and that's about as good as I can hope for with this range hood. |

Cesar Conde
Executive Vice President, NBCUniversal
Cesar Conde is Executive Vice President at NBCUniversal, where he oversees NBCUniversal International, which includes film and television distribution, home entertainment distribution, channels, film and television production, theme parks, and news. He is also responsible for leading strategic corporate priorities across NBCUniversal's portfolio of assets domestically. Conde, who serves on NBCUniversal's Executive Committee, reports to Chief Executive Officer Stephen B. Burke.
Conde joined NBCUniversal in October 2013 from Univision, where he served as President since 2009. Conde, who joined Univision in 2003, served in a variety of senior executive capacities and is credited with transforming it into a leading global, multi-platform media brand.

With Conde's oversight, Univision Networks' portfolio grew from three to 14 broadcast and cable networks. Additionally, he was instrumental in the launch of the company's first-ever English language network, Fusion, a joint venture with Disney's ABCNews.
Social and community initiatives were core to Conde's business approach at Univision and emphasized the importance of empowerment initiatives for the Hispanic community. He spearheaded the development of the "Es el Momento" national education initiative with The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, led the "Ya es Hora" Latino citizenship and voter campaign and launched the network's first "Teletón USA" broadcast to raise funds for disabled children in need of rehabilitation services.
Prior to Univision, Conde served as the White House Fellow for Secretary of State Colin L. Powell from 2002–2003. Before his public service, he worked at StarMedia Network, the first Internet company focused on Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences globally, and in the Mergers & Acquisitions Group at Salomon Smith Barney.
Conde is a Trustee of both the Aspen Institute and the Paley Center for Media, as well as a Full Member at the Council on Foreign Relations and a Young Global Leader for the World Economic Forum. He sits on the Boards for the Foundation for Excellence in Education, and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

"The world is craving stories converted into beautiful products. If it comes from Africa the demand is even greater."
Cape Town and Johannesburg is gearing up for Design Indaba 2014, win tickets here.
Leanie van der Vyver says her designs are a reaction to the things that bother her about modern society.
There was no shortage of beautiful things at this year's Design Indaba Expo.
This year's Design Indaba has delivered punch after thought-provoking punch of inspiration and insight into the design, cultural and social zeitgeist.
Of all the creative conferences around the world, few have the pull of the Design Indaba. We round up the highlights.
Design Indaba Expo is a showcase of the most innovative, new South African design, from furniture and fashion to jewellery, craft and homeware.
Shop the best of SA creativity. All in one place. All in three days.
Thirty-two artists, 10 shows, eight venues, three days, one city. From February 27 to March 1, Cape Town will jam to the melody of designer beats
Fifteen films celebrating design form part of this year's Design Indaba
With fashion designers crossing into areas such as homeware, design exhibitors are collaborating with one another more than ever before.
One of the central exhibitions celebrates a fusion between African design and the European trends of the eighties
Transdisciplinary personalities define the programme of this year's Design Indaba
More than 38000 people walked through the doors of last year's Design Indaba expo, resulting in a GDP contribution of R261-million.
Baskets with polo necks, slouchy vessels, giant sea-anemone pouffes - what is up with craft at this year's expo?
The Design Indaba strives to bring the foremost contemporary thought leaders to South Africa each year.
Eateries are much more than just places to eat. They offer tradition as well, and with that, comes comfortability.
This is not a blurb introducing an article by Chris Roper raving about the best Design Indaba yet.

Corrie star Jennie McAlpine says Kirsty Soames will want to murder Fiz Stape over her forthcoming affair with Tyrone Dobbs!
Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine has been talking to the Radio Times about her character Fiz Stape, and the fact that as we near Christmas, Fiz is going to embark on a hugely dangerous affair with her former lover, Tyrone Dobbs…
And it is of course a dangerous liaison because Tyrone is engaged to nutcase Kirsty Soames, who's proved time and time again that she's prone to violence when crossed.
So learning that her nemesis Fiz has been sleeping with Tyrone (Alan Halsall) would most assuredly send Kirsty hurtling over the edge, and could even result in both Fiz and Tyrone's lives being in danger at the hands of the ex-copper.
And soon after Tyrone and Fiz become lovers again – they formerly dated in the 90s – they're nearly caught out when Kirsty (Natalie Gumede) organises a surprise birthday party for Ty, and when she goes home to take him to his party, she has no idea that Fiz is in her house!
Jennie began by explaining of Fiz, "She's got this plan for Tyrone to gain paternal rights for his daughter and to then ultimately to expose Kirsty.
"They're dealing with this whole situation on a day-to-day basis and therefore she's not really considering whether or not it's a good idea for Tyrone to stay in a domestic situation with Kirsty.
"I suppose, thinking about it now, it is a good idea for Tyrone to stay at home with Kirsty in order for the long-term plan to work.
"Kirsty really is a nasty piece of work as Fiz has experienced herself at first hand. Tyrone's keen not to do anything to aggravate Kirsty and this actually irritates Fiz, but deep down Fiz knows it's the right thing to do.
"She finds it very hard watching Tyrone do everything he can to appease Kirsty and pretend to the outside world that everything is normal in his relationship with Kirsty as Fiz knows how much he is suffering behind closed doors."
Revealing that all the time, Fiz is falling more and more for Tyrone, Jennie then explained what happens on the night of Tyrone's surprise party.
She said, "Well, Fiz has snuck round to Tyrone's house on the morning of his birthday and met him at his back door and wished him happy birthday.
"She asks him what plans he's got for that evening and is surprised to hear that he's arranged to stay in that evening as Kirsty's going out with her friends.
"Obviously, Tyrone's unaware that Kirsty is secretly arranging a party in the Rovers for Tyrone.
"Fiz thinks it's not fair that Tyrone's spending his birthday on his own, so she arranges to visit once Kirsty's left the house.
"Later that evening, Fiz sneaks into Tyrone's house and gives him a cake and some beers. The evening's going well with Fiz and Ty sharing a tender moment, but then they get interrupted by Kirsty arriving back with Emily in tow.
"Kirsty tells him that she's arranged for Emily to babysit and that she's thrown him a surprise party in the Rovers.
"Fiz has to hide out of view at this point and it's one of those nerve-jangling moments where you're praying that Kirsty doesn't discover she's there."
However, what both Fiz and Tyrone overlook is the birthday card she's left for Tyrone…
Jennie said, "Kirsty finds the card, but she doesn't react immediately. She dwells on it overnight and then angrily challenges Tyrone about it in the morning.
"He has to cover and tells Kirsty that Fiz is obsessed with him.
"Tyrone then rushes over to the café with Ruby to beg Fiz to play along with his cover story, but she's disheartened by the whole situation and tells him that she's not prepared to go along with the lie and that he can't keep messing with her feelings.
"But in his haste, Tyrone hasn't noticed that he's dropped one of Ruby's baby toys on the floor. Kirsty calls in at the café later to confront Fiz about the card, but Fiz stands her ground and refuses to apologise.
"This angers Kirsty a lot, but the situation is made worse when Roy finds the toy and hands it back.
"At this point, Kirsty realises that Tyrone has been in the café earlier that day speaking to Fiz and her anger leads to her taking her violence against Tyrone to another level."
Tyrone will apparently need hospital treatment for his latest injuries!
Jennie then added that viewers appear to want Fiz and Tyrone to end up together.
She said, "I would hope that, having been through all this turmoil, there will be a happy outcome for them both.
"They just need to get Kirsty out of the equation.
"A few people on the street have grabbed me and told me how lovely they think it would be to see Fiz and Tyrone bringing up their children together."
And finally, when asked if Fiz worries that Kirsty could kill her if she finds out about her affair with Tyrone, Jennie said, "Fiz is under no illusion of just what Kirsty is capable of, yet she keeps coming back for more.
"I suppose if Kirsty was capable of murder, Fiz would be her number one target.
"But I'm not sure that she would go that far and I don't want to mention it in case it gives the writers any ideas."
Would you like to see Fiz and Ty together? For now, here's a reminder of the romance Tyrone shared with another Corrie resident…
3 Responses to "Corrie star Jennie McAlpine says Kirsty Soames will want to murder Fiz Stape over her forthcoming affair with Tyrone Dobbs!"
I would like to see a happy ending for Fiz & Tyrone both have been through alot in the past few years and they deserve a good future. Ty has had bad luck in love, first his wife Molly had an affair with Kevin Webster and got pregnant then she died in the tram crash incident.Then he met Kirsty who later showed her true nature by being violent and possessive, she's without a doubt the most crazy and manipulative character on the street. Fiz went through hell when she was accused of the crimes that her husband John Stape committed.
I hope that someday the truth about Kirsty will be exposed to everyone and Ty will be free to live a safe life and be with Fiz.
I don't want to feel sorry for Kirsty, but on some level, you have to wonder what has driven her to be this way. It is terrible to think of what must have happened in a person's life to drive them to be violent.
Did being a cop turn her into this? Or was she like this before she joined the police? Are some people just born violent? Did Kirsty herself suffer abuse as a child?
I think we want to know more about why Kirsty is this way. It's kind of scary to think that maybe violent people are attracted to police work because it gives them an "outlet" for their tendancies.
Or does being a cop eventually make you violent?
The sooner Kirsty is written out and Ty gets custody the better! He should have gone through with marrying Fiz long ago! Remember him and Kirk competing to propose to her all those years ago in the pre Molly, pre evil Kirsty, pre John Stapes era?
And it is not as if Ty has not had one or two other romances! It is about time the writers gave the lad a break and wrote some pernament happiness for him!

A group claiming affiliation with Anonymous posted a bomb threat on its Twitter account Monday, saying it plans to detonate a bomb in a government building on November 5. The threat prompted disavowals from other Anon channels across the web.
The threat was linked from @FawkesSecurity, which posted the following message on several paste-up sites, as well as links to a seemingly typical Anonymous video with a masked and suited figure gesturing as a robotic voice said these words:
Dear citizens of the world, We are Anonymous.
As of today, 200 kilograms of composite Nitroglycerin and commercial explosives have effectively been concealed in a government building, situated in the United States of America. On the 5th of November, 2012, the device will detonate remotely via the transmission control protocol, leaving behind severe consequences. We would like to advise that the contraption is built inside a tamper-proof apparatus sensitive to physical intrusions or attempted disarmament, thus resulting in the desired effect, if the military grade device is found before the 5th of November. There is no intention, risks or circumstances whatsoever to cause harm to innocent people, but we can not say the same for the people who are the real terrorists, oppressors and war creators. […]
Negative responses to the threat from the larger, Fawkes-masked and shifting sea of Anonymous have been trending on Pastebin, the most well-known programmers' paste-up site.
In one, titled "Anonymous response to false #OpV attack," the author of the message writes that FawkesSecurity has been seeking "fame by reuploading (sic) Anonymous videos […] for almost a year" and suggests the bomb threat may be a disinformation campaign by the authorities or a "disinfo fucktard."
Another, more formal response was addressed "to the media." It said in part:
Let us be perfectly clear: Anonymous is not a terrorist organization. Anonymous does not use bombs. Anonymous does not condone violence in any way. Anonymous supports justice and universal equal rights. We support peaceful protest.
The Pastebin post addressing the media closed with another suggestion the bomb threat was disinformation intended to portray Anonymous as a terrorist group and concluded, "Either way, fuck whoever posted that threat."
The threatening message says it will detonate the bomb via "transmission control protocol," which may be a subtle signal that it is a hoax. Transmission control protocol is the TCP in TCP/IP. TCP is an application that supports secure and organized data transfer over the web.
However, the use of the term may also be the writer's attempt to suggest the bomb can be detonated by remote command, perhaps via cellphone.
The responses to FawkesSecurity's threat have sometimes referenced Project Mayhem 2012 and #OpV or #OpVendetta.
The latter operation will be a planned act of peaceful street theater in which Anons gather in London to recreate the final scene from the movie, V for Vendetta. In that scene, a mass of marchers enter Trafalgar Square in Guy Fawkes masks, then bombs go off under Big Ben in the U.K. Parliament building. Anonymous has said that it will not complete the re-enactment with explosives.
A page detailing FawkesSecurity's history since 2011 at KnowYourMeme strongly suggests it has a history of claiming responsibility for other hacks and DDoS attacks, as well as general trolling.

Evolution and Rebellion
Pegasus expansion announced for Battlestar Galactica! |
Battlestar Galactica | Published 10 June 2009 |
On behalf of the officers and crew of the Pegasus...it's a pleasure to see all of you. Welcome back to the Colonial Fleet.
- Admiral Helena Cain, "Pegasus"
For nearly half a year following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, the crew of the Battlestar Galactica defended the last remaining human survivors. Then, all at once, salvation appeared in the form of the Battlestar Pegasus. At nearly twice the size of Galactica, with upgraded weapons batteries and a newer, larger fleet of Vipers and Raptors, the fleet was now safer...
...or so they thought.
This fall brings the first expansion for Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game. The Pegasus expansion adds two new supplemental game boards featuring the Battlestar Pegasus and the planet of New Caprica, seven new characters, a new Cylon Locations overlay, two plastic Basestars, as well as new Destination, Crisis, Loyalty, Quorum, Super Crisis, and Skill cards.
The new Pegasus board can be used by itself or together with the New Caprica board to create the game you desire – use the Pegasus alone for the additional firepower she provides, or add the New Caprica board to simulate the rebellion on the human colony, bringing the game to an epic level.
New rules introduce the ability to play as a new character type – the Cylon Leader, with a new Treachery Skill card type.
I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.
- Admiral Helena Cain
Launch the fighters.
- Commander William Adama
How will the crews of the Galactica and the Pegasus mesh when they join each other on your game table? Will the Cylons be able to subjugate the human rebellion on New Caprica? Will an open Cylon Leader be able to vent the last remaining humans into space, giving the toasters control over the galaxy?
Pegasus will be FTL jumping into your friendly local game store this Fall. Be on the lookout for previews leading up to the expansion's release.
So say we all!
Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is a semi-cooperative game of politics, betrayal, and survival for 3-6 players, based on the hit SciFi Channel series.
Sounds simply amazing. when will it be released? WHEN!?!?!?!?!?!
Damn, I feel like Battlestar has been spoiled for me now. I've only managed to watch the first part of the 2 part prequel they did before season 1 lol.
By the sounds of this preview I'm thinking this new battlestar is actually a cyclon ship disguised as humans? :o
Well, FFG is on a roll. This looks terrific. BSG is already a classic boardgame, one of FFG's best from last year. This will only make it better.
Estimated Release date? Enquiring minds want to know! We will be watching with great interest.
This is going to be fantastic! Curious to see how the Cylon Leader character changes the over-all game. I love that this is advancing the theme along with the show plot. Cylon Civil War expansion perhaps?
Alright...you had me at hello!!!!! This is awesome news!!
Ok. When?
I need to know when??
Wow, it looks great! I was aways impressed with the fan-made expansion and wondering when were going to see an FFG one. I am glad we get some plastic Basestars and it looks like the various board combinations provide some good game variation and versitility.
I'll be intrested to see if the hidden cylon mechanic holds. It might be future expansions just have opposing teams.

I'm a easy going gamer kind of guy. I don't take it serious, but I don't take it like lightly. My first times of playing video games were at around 2 or 3 and I didn't get to play them a lot. I barely got to play them at all.. Mostly because of my older brothers.
I know I seem to be a "new school" gamer but the time I never got to enjoy, I'm enjoying today, such as playing NES and SNES games.
Yea, I play newer games, but they don't interest me as much as the older games.
Any more you would like to know about me personal or gamer wise just ask me.

Julian Hidalgo started teaching New York-style salsa dancing six years ago in his Providence apartment, pushing aside furniture to make room for students.
His classes were popular, and he expanded the business into J.J. Latin Dancers studio in Cranston's Pawtuxet Village.
Hidalgo, a 30-year-old Dominican-American born in New York, said his students hail from a variety of backgrounds — Korean, Laotian, Egyptian, Polish and Croatian.
For many, he said, the salsa dance is the first time they have touched someone whose skin color differs from their own.
"You unite people, and it's fun," he said.
Hidalgo is among an expanding number of minority-owned business owners in a state in which minorities have grown to one quarter of the population.
But minority-owned businesses remain largely separated from the established business community, resulting in a lost opportunity to spur Rhode Island's troubled economy, according to minority leaders.
"This is not about 'Kumbaya,' " said James Vincent, Rhode Island NAACP president. "It's about competitiveness and profitability."
He said that if business owners and government officials paid more attention to the minority communities, they would be better off finding customers, employees and leaders to help Rhode Island solve its economic woes.
Vincent laments that when the movers and shakers in the business and political world gather, it's often a very white crowd.
"I don't think people go into rooms and talk about how we can cut out the minorities," he said. "It's worse than that. Twenty-five percent of the state is not recognized for its talents, its skills. It's like we're invisible."
Vincent used the same word "invisible" when he sparred over hiring practices with Cheryl Merchant, CEO and president of Hope Global, at a session last month of Publick Occurrences, a series of forums about fixing Rhode Island's economy.
Merchant told the crowd her manufacturing company has been hiring people for the last two years for jobs in engineering, marketing assistance, quality supervision, manufacturing supervision, information technology and drafting. But when she looked for a senior vice president of business development, she got "zero" out of 146 resumés from minorities and women.
"It's not that they can't do the job," Merchant said. "It's that they don't have the guts to put themselves out there and say, 'You know what, I may not be perfect at this at 99 percent, but I can go get this job because I can do it.' So one thing we need to teach is a little bit of confidence."
Vincent was quick to respond.
"I'm going to give you my business card right now because I don't know who you're talking to in terms of these applications," he said, rattling off a list of minority organizations she could contact.
"The next time you have a position open, talk to somebody within those communities because if you don't, the results are predictable: Zero. So you've got to talk to us. And in terms of guts, some of the gutsiest people in this state are from those communities, and they've had experiences overseas that are indescribable, so they have the guts. They just don't know about the opportunity…. We're invisible."
Merchant responded, stressing the diversity of her employees, who are from Poland, Ireland, Cape Verde and Russia and include those of Portuguese descent. She advertised for the job with traditional online and newspaper services.
"He's absolutely right — because there could be a better way to do it," she said. "I'll take the card."
Interviewed later, Merchant said hiring and searching for work is a two-way street. Vincent, she says, should teach people in his networks how to find jobs and where large companies are likely to advertise.
"My job is to run a successful company — that's for my customers, my shareholders, my employees," she said. "If I have an open position, my job is to find the best candidate for the position. My job is not to find a woman, not to find a black person, not to go find minorities."
As for her comment about people needing more guts, she said she didn't have a chance on stage to finish that thought. What she wanted to say is that she initially overlooked the man who ultimately got that advertised VP job.
"I actually rejected his resumé," she said. "He came back to my HR person and said, 'You don't understand. I'm perfect for that job, and she needs to hire me.' I'm looking for people who want to work, who are aggressive."
The exchange between Vincent and Merchant exemplifies recent efforts to close the gap between the minority and established business communities.
"It is a challenge as well as an opportunity to engage the underserved community in rebuilding Rhode Island's economy," said Laurie White, president of the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce. "This is especially true in the areas of work-force development and minority business creation."
The Chamber, the state's largest business organization, held its annual parade of entrepreneurs earlier this month at The Met School in Providence to showcase the innovators who are building the state's "knowledge economy."
The state's business leaders heard from a diverse group of entrepreneurs, including many minorities and students who have created new businesses.
"We chose the Met School … because the focus of the event was to highlight that entrepreneurship is intergenerational — spanning high school and beyond," White said. "Diversity is certainly a major reflection of the makeup of the Met School and we were happy to showcase that."
She also said a Chamber initiative, the Innovation Providence Implementation Council, is developing a plan to include Rhode Island's minority community. The council believes that inclusion is vital for future job growth, she said.
"Our increased awareness surrounding the engagement of the minority community is the direct result of the IPIC's diverse makeup," White said.
Nevertheless, some think more needs to be done.
At Leadership Rhode Island, the nonprofit group that worked in the last year to strengthen the Hispanic-majority city of Central Falls, Executive Director Mike Ritz said he agrees the state is not realizing the full potential of the minority population.
"It's not just the talent we have here," he said. "I think it's the connections all over the world."
Ritz sees value in figuring out a way to get Rhode Island's minority residents to help the state connect with opportunities far beyond the Ocean State's borders.
"If we went into Central Falls and mapped out the human relationships between the immigrant community there and the world — Oh my God, the opportunity," he said. "… I don't think we're leveraging that nearly as much as we could."
Rhode Island's Sixcia Devine agrees that far more could be done to leverage the potential of Rhode Island's Latino community.
Devine, a Dominican-American who grew up in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence, opened a small business in 2002 that taught Spanish language courses. She later closed it while working with minority- and women-owned businesses as an employee at the Center for Women and Enterprise before moving on to the Small Business Development Center at Johnson & Wales University.
This past summer, Devine launched her second small business, a consulting company Sixcia Business Development.
She's working with Providence resident Alicia Preza, who works from her home on Smith Hill. A self-taught artist, Preza, 70, paints, sketches and creates traditional El Salvadoran metalwork. Devine helps Preza sell her artwork at exhibits and encourages Preza to tell her story in Spanish to customers who are hungry to learn about different cultures.
As Preza determines prices for her artwork, Devine reminds her to take into account the costs of traveling home to El Salvador for the special paints she needs.
"We've been working on price points," Devine said.
To develop her own business, Devine is using the same advice she has offered small businesses over the years.
"I'm taking a chance, and I have a vision," said Devine, who is relying on her emergency savings as she builds the business. "I can do this. I've been empowering businesses for six years. Now it's time to do this for myself."
She said that just like the small companies she has helped, the state desperately needs a business plan that identifies its goals and examines how to meet its mission.
Part of that plan has to include a Latino cultural-immersion program for the state's leaders to learn more about the challenges — and the assets — that are unique in Rhode Island.
Devine noted, for example, that many bilingual Rhode Islanders possess the language and cultural skills that could help companies export into foreign markets, which economists say is a key to increasing jobs.
"There's an untapped market here that can boost economic growth."

Short Film: 'That Day' Offers a Dramatic Game of Hide and Seek
Features By Scott Beggs on October 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? A group of men and women bicker amongst themselves, seeking closure for something that happened years ago. On the other end of the playing field, it's the memory of a childhood trauma that's hiding from them.
Writer/director Danny Lacey manages a stirring profile here with almost zero exposition, relying instead on his actors' ability to exude untold frustration and strong visual cues that hint at what might have happened to them while they played in the woods. On that front, there's an austerity to what's on the screen. He captures both the dead leaf cold of the forest as well as the cramped heat of the space where the group has convened using sparse dialogue, a floating camera and excellent sound design. Plus, it's got a killer score to back it up. The music with its haunting beeps might be the best clue as to what the childhood secret is.
This is solid work all around, and Lacey is one to look out for.

i just received my FSH results back (and though i realize it is an imperfect test, it's the one my doctor uses). the number is 127.5 which seems excessively high to me. i had a hysterectomy 15 years ago for carcinoma in situ but still have my ovaries. therefore, i don't have the frame of reference that my periods would have provided. almost three years ago i had some quasi-menopause symptoms but they were very very mild and very short-lived so i thought they were a fluke. i went to the gyno complaining of vulvitis, urinary tract problems, and vaginitis and she felt that, though she sees no vaginal atrophying (gag), i'm not really menopausal yet (age 49). prescribed a steroid cream for relief in the area and ordered the FSH test. when it came back, she then recommended hormones. i balked a little and we "compromised on Vagifem". i plan to fill the prescription but not sure i will actually use it, in that the episodes are so few and far between and i'm so wary of estrogen under my circumstances.
my question is this: what does the FSH tell me? i can't seem to find that info anywhere. am i pre- mid- or post-menopause. MY interpretation is that i'm POST menopause and MISSED it? (i should be so lucky, huh?????) i'd love your input. |

Hi llmoyer123, I'm no expert, but I think you're there! I think about the highest it gets in a younger woman is about 33-35. I don't know how long our FSH stays high until maybe it finally gets the idea that it's not going to ever stimulate the ovaries again, and quits, or if our levels are high the rest of our lives. But........I think you're either there or pretty darned close. Lucky you! |
My doctor (well versed in menopause) told me an FSH over 100 is an indication of (post) menopause. Other doctors and some books I've read say an FSH in the 40's is indicative of menopause. There are so many different definitions of pre, peri, post, and regular menopause that we can't know if they are all talking about the same thing. Who's right? I don't know, but so far this gyne has spoken more knowledgably about menopause than any other doctor I've spoken with, so I tend to believe him. I asked him if the level ever dropped back to normal, and he said no, but it does drop back somewhat, perhaps as far as the 60's. I think when most mid life women go into their doctor's office with menopausal related complaints, an FSH is done, if it's 40 or over, the doctor figures the complaints are most likely hormonal related and will treat them accordingly. Another FSH is rarely drawn so the patient never knows how high it actually goes. This would be a good topic for someone to investigate. Is there any valid research like a very large group of women have their FSH tested annually from say age 45 to 65 in order to get an accurate idea of how the levels fluctuate as the woman goes through the menopausal process. |
Don't take the drugs unless you really want to. Carcinoma in situ meaning endometrial or uterine cancer? I'm steering clear of hormones with my endometrial cancer history. What's the point if you have no symptons to treat? But think about having your bones checked. |
- Posted by llmoyer123 (email@example.com) on Mon, Feb 4, 02 at 12:08
thanks drrazzle for your input. the carcinoma in situ was cervical which my doctor SWEARS is unrelated to the endometrial or uterine risks (but i too am a little wary). my tact right now, since i DO have post-menopausal symptoms in the vaginal/urinary tract/vulva area is to fill the prescription for vagifem but not use it until things get "critical" there. she also gave me a steroid cream for that area to relieve the uncomfortable/painful sensations when a "situation" arises. i'm wondering if i am "allowed" to use the vagifem like that: selectively when needed and not continually..... anyone know that answer? |
The FSH or follicle stimulating hormone indicates whether you are or not ovulating. FSH goes up and send the message to mature an egg in the ovary. If no egg is there to be matured, from my understanding FSH stays up. If it goes up and STAYS up, you are menopausal. Mine was 50 and at that time I had symptoms too. I read that young baby girls have thousands of eggs. Many are gone by the time we are 6. More leave or are absorbed by our teens, and so on. So when this hormone sends a signal to our ovaries to release an egg, there are no more viable eggs. I'm not sure if we run out of eggs, or our follicles are just too tired to mature and release an egg. But the FSH level stays up...for how long I don't know. YOu said the 60's. Would love to know the answer to that one! It just seems odd that FSH gets not feedback from something else to say, "hey, you don't have to work anymore"....There's still a lot doctors don't know...Mother Nature always has a balancing act, so it just seems odd that a hormone would go up and stay up. FSH is stimulated from the brain (if I recall correctly) so I don't know how or what turns it off, if ever. Life sure is a mystery sometimes! June Lynn |

i'm STILL the only one i know with an FSH in the hundreds 126.5)and for some reason that freaks me out a little. but since i'm not having symptoms and since the doc doesn't seem concerned, i'll try to calm myself! thanks for the replies. linda |
The following is excerpted form their web site. Appears that you have to use it regularly but possibly can stop it when you feel you are better? And although contraindicated for hx of uterine (endometrial) ca, it doesn't mention cervical. "Treatment usually begins by inserting 1 VAGIFEM tablet into your vagina daily for the first 2 weeks. Thereafter, insert 1 tablet into your vagina 2 times a week, as directed by your healthcare professional. VAGIFEM can be inserted at any time of the day, but should be inserted at the same time every day. Your AV symptoms may begin to improve within 2 weeks of starting VAGIFEM. However, it is important that you stick with your prescribed treatment plan, since it may take up to 12 weeks to feel the full benefits of the treatment. When used as directed, treatment with VAGIFEM is clinically proven to relieve the symptoms and discomfort of AV. Make sure you talk with your healthcare professional about the need to continue vaginal estrogen therapy. Important Information: Estrogens have been reported to increase the risk of endometrial carcinoma (cancer of the uterus). Vaginal estrogen therapy should not be used by women who are pregnant or who think they may be pregnant. It should not be used immediately after childbirth or while breast-feeding, and it should not be used by women who have unusual vaginal bleeding, a history of breast or uterine cancer, or a history of blood clots. Please see product information for VAGIFEM for more information." |

well, that pretty much answers my question about using it episodically (pout). thanks for checking for me! anyone know what time oprah comes on in the midwest? i'm not usually home during the day but might try to catch the menopause show today. |
Just got my bloodwork back. My FSH is 103, my LH is 29.5, my estradiol is 22, my prolactin is 22.3. I have no clue how to interpret this. Will call my GYN today, but hope someone out there can help me too. |
When I saw my GYN yesterday, I showed her my test results, and explained all my symptoms. She said it's all textbook menopause. She prescribed a HRT called Activella. It's a plant-derived estrogen, and a plant-based progestin. I hope it works, because I want my quality of life back. |
cheerful1, what plant is the estrogen derived from? I'm also wondering if the plant-based progestin is from wild yams. I think that's what the progesterone creams are made from, if I remember correctly. Mrs H |
I don't know what plants they come from, but I'll try and find out. |
- Posted by tinasoldhouse (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 07 at 22:13
I just did a quick google on plant-based estrogen and progesterone and found these links. I really need to look into this further. Cheerful, I'm hoping you'll find relief with what you've been prescribed. It's something I'm interested in, too, but can't say whether it's an option yet. I'll keep you posted. http://www.findings.net/suhrt.html http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/pae/botany/botany_map/articles/article_27.html |
The following is a link to an article about a long term study of patterns of change in FSH that I found very informative. You will note that the upper range of the measurements of the sample pool were 128, so you are not alone! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579655/ |

I plan to install a nice backsplash in my kitchen . . . some day. I also need under cabinet lighting. Should I wait until I install the backsplash to do the lighting? I'm afraid if I do the lighting first it will make the backsplash installation more difficult or something. I'm real new to this home improvement stuff, so please excuse my ignorant questions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think lighting comes first. It doesn't take up a lot of space, so you should be able to do the BS later. Lots of people are ABB (all but backsplash) for a long time. |
- Posted by Violet.West (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 13:58
lol! thanks for the response. I guess the reason I'm reluctant to do the backsplash now is I keep thinking I want to replace the stupid non-vented stove/microwave set up I have in there. If I'm going to tear things apart to put a real hood in there, I think I should wait. |
Violet.West, two of the many wonderful things about GardenWeb are that almost ANY question you ask will get thoughtful responses, and you can bet that there will be other people out there who read your question and think "Yeah! I've wondered about that too!!" - so you're also performing a service for others by asking! And, although we're still planning our kitchen, my impression is same as Ginny20's: under-cabinet lighting is very often done before backsplash. |
I'm almost done with our kitchen remodel. My GC is putting up the lighting before the backsplash in case he has to adjust the placement of the wires coming out of the wall. |

How can I get more results from my resumes and applications? CareerBuilder is always on the lookout for techniques that can help clients optimize the performance of our services. As online advertising grows, the difference between a smart investment and a disappointment often turns on the quality of a job posting. The 10 tips below were collected from numerous sources and will help make sure that your internet recruitment advertisements are well-written and effective. Company informationSell the company by describing its history, career opportunities, culture, recent achievements and future prospects. What's unique and exciting about the company, or about working for it? Do they use paid time off instead of sick/vacation/personal days? Do they stress having fun at work because it leads to people who are passionate about their work? Proper grammarMake sure you spell-check your description before posting it; the computer will not match your posting with a job seeker's keyword search for "engineer" if you have spelled the word "enginerr." Industry termsUse industry and occupation specific terms, such as "Visual Basic," "C++," or "COBOL" in both position titles and descriptions. More industry terms leads to more searchable keywords, and that leads to more opportunities to capture a job seeker. Job titlesUse functional descriptions with as much specificity as possible, rather than titles for the organization chart; think like job seekers and use a title that they are likely to use in searching for a position. Avoid "GREAT OPPORTUNITIES!!!" and other non-descriptive titles. KeywordsInclude a complete list of the required knowledge, skills and abilities and their synonyms, as appropriate. Keep a list of keywords handy for job types and industries, then double-check to see if they're already in the description or requirements. If not, try to work them in. If applicable, include the list of keywords at the bottom of the job description or Requirements for Job Search. LocationInclude both the city and the state in the posting. If the city is small, use the closest major city that job seekers will recognize. Is there something unique about the city or location? Are there lots of bars or restaurants in the area? Are there entertainment or outdoor activity opportunities nearby? Make the job seeker say "wow, that would be cool!" This won't work for all postings, of course, but it does work for a lot of them! Advertise in parallelDrive traffic to your postings and the extensive information they contain by advertising their location in print publications. Response mechanismsProvide multiple ways for job seekers to submit their resumes, including mail, fax, email and online application. Salary levelState the salary or salary range for the position. Postings that prominently featured this information get better results. Statistics show that postings that include salary ranges get read twice as often. TrackingEmploy a method of tracking where responses come from so that you know which ads are working best and which are not. Try using a different email address for each site you post on, if applicable. This allows you to more accurately track your return on investment so you can see where you get the best value. Our customer service representatives can also email you an "Effective Job Poster" form, which will help you write a job to attract the most qualified candidates. Please call us at 1-800-891-8880 Monday through Friday from 8AM to 9PM ET. Why haven't employes contacted me after I sent them my resume? CareerBuilder operates very similar to newspaper classifieds. Employers come to us to post jobs, but we do not take any part in the hiring process nor in the placement of candidates. When you apply and send your resume to companies registered on our system, we do not take part in the application screening. Any time you apply for a position, your resume goes directly to the company that advertised the job. Whether employers choose to contact you is entirely left to their discretion. To find out the status of your application, you will have to follow up with the company. To search for a company's recruiting or contact information, please refer to the job listing or use your favorite search engine to search for the company. Note: If a company chooses not to disclose contact information, CareerBuilder's privacy policy dictates that we cannot disclose any further information than what is listed in the job advertisement. How can I set up a resume search agent on AOL Jobs/My CareerBuilder? CareerBuilder provides the option to save searches and automate saved searches. Please follow the instructions below to set up saved searches and automatic emails (which we refer to as RSAs or Resume Search Agents): 1. After running your keyword search and producing relevant results, click Save Search above the More Search Options column. 2. Name your search, preferably something that is easily remembered and corresponds to the search options you have selected. Then click Save Search. 3. Select how frequently you want the Resume Search Agent to run. Once selected, the email address you use to log in will populate in the empty field. 4. To access saved searches from the basic search, click View All Saved Searches under the Saved Searches tab. To access saved searches from the advanced search, click the Saved Searches link. 5. From the list of searches you have the option to Copy, Edit or Delete. If you would like to run the search, click on the Search Name to access real-time results. TroubleshootingYour RSA might not be working because no new resumes or newly modified resumes match your search criteria. Even if you have the frequency set to run daily you might not receive search agent emails. Additionally, your RSA might not be set to run. You can check this by going to the Saved Searches section to review the selected frequency. If you see that your search agent is set to run and you have not received any e-mails in awhile, please contact your client support specialist, who'll be able to provide additional assistance. Contact information is available in the Your Account section on your CareerBuilder homepage. Still having trouble?Ensure that your RSAs are set to email you and aren't being sent to a junk mail or spam folder. For additional issues, please contact your dedicated CareerBuilder contact. This information is available in the Your Account section on your CareerBuilder homepage. AOL Job Alert FAQsWhat is an AOL Job Alert? An AOL Job Alert keeps you informed when new job openings are posted that match your search criteria. You can get a head start on the competition by choosing to be notified immediately when a new position is posted. On the other hand, if you don't want to receive constant Job Alerts, you can change the alert timing to Daily or Weekly. What job listings will be sent to me via AOL Job Alerts? When you create a Job Alert, you choose a set of criteria for desired job matches. You can set up criteria by keyword, location, salary and other options. For example, you might choose to receive a job listing with the keyword "nurse" and location "Detroit, Michigan." When an employer posts a job with CareerBuilder that meets your criteria, the job posting will be sent to you via an AOL Job Alert. How frequently can I receive AOL Job Alerts? You can set up AOL Job Alerts to send you a list of matches immediately (job searches are performed every hour), daily or weekly. To change the frequency with which you are receiving your Job Alerts, please visit AOL Keyword: Job Alerts and edit by clicking the pencil icon in the Edit column. How are AOL Job Alerts delivered to me? You can receive a list of Job Alert matches online via instant message, email, pager or cell phone. To change delivery options or add a new device for your Job Alerts, go to the Job Alert management area (AOL Keyword: Job Alerts) and edit your preferences by clicking the pencil icon in the Edit column. I set up an AOL Job Alert and have not received any alerts. How can I fix this? Please visit your Job Alerts management area (AOL Keyword: Job Alerts) and click on the pencil icon under the Edit column next to the Job Alert you are having trouble with. Double-check your keywords for spelling mistakes and make sure your Job Alert criteria aren't too specific. You can widen your criteria by altering salary, education, category and location preferences. Can all geographical locations be searched by job alerts? Currently, only locations in the United States can be searched by AOL Job Alerts. Why do other cities outside of my search show up in my results? The average search area includes a 30-mile radius and is based on a geographic grid system. Depending on the location of your city in the grid area, your search may include locations that are much farther than 30 miles from your chosen city. Conversely, the results may be limited to an area smaller than a 30-mile radius. How do I edit or delete AOL Job Alerts? Editing a Job Alert1. Sign in to your AOL Account using your Username and Password. 2. Click on the Jobs icon on the left-hand side of the homepage screen. 3. Click on the My CareerBuildertab located towards the top of the page. 4. Scroll down to the Saved Searches section on the screen. 5.

Where do we place 2 pendants over a peninsula (breakfast bar) that will be in front of a pass through? From back to front of the peninsula, in the middle? White area in back if breakfast bar is actually air(pass through). - to right of that is refrigerator. here is plan looking at breakfast bar and passthru - should pendants go on the mid-point of the counter (mid-way from back wall to end of counter depth) and then spaced according to distance from refrigerator and distance from end of counter to doorway? Work hasn't started yet so all I can do is attach drawing plan. |

I'm bumping for you because I'm not positive on the answer, but my instinct is to put them in the middle of the counter, and then use the fridge cabinet wall as the "wall" on the right and the end of the counter on the left as the "wall" on the left to space them out evenly. Depending on the pendants you purchase, also think about cleaning them. We have clear pendants so they have to be polished more often than some others and I'm glad they are (fairly) easy to reach without getting a ladder out. |

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
As a single, unified thing there exists in us both life and death, waking and sleeping, youth and old age, because the former things having changed are now the latter, and when those latter things change, they become the former. — Heraclitus
As a single, unified thing there exists in us both life and death, waking and sleeping, youth and old age, because the former things having changed are now the latter, and when those latter things change, they become the former.
— Heraclitus
IN TODAY'S SESSION… We found a clock and a live plant in the Conundrum Corner, and we talked about how everything changes. We heard a story about two opposites, life and death. We talked about how different points of view and different situations change our ideas of whether something is right or wrong. We tried meditating to the sound of "om," and then made some modern gods and goddesses. For Faith in Action, we discovered more about each other so we can increase our respect for each other and treat one another better.
EXPLORE THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Talk about…
EXTEND THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Try…
Take some personal quiet time and meditate. Find a quiet space to be alone. Make yourself comfortable and empty your mind. What happens? Could you do that? Most people cannot really empty their minds; ideas keep flitting through. But people who practice meditation enough can learn to let go of daily worries and open up their minds for a while. If you are really meditating, you cannot be angry or upset. Try filling your mind with something different and see if that helps you get a sense of peace and connection to things beyond you. Just saying one number over and over again may work. If you are journaling, write what you tried and what happened. Also write down some more mind-filling images or sounds to try.
Talk each day about the right and wrong you have experienced. Did you each do something good you want to share? Is there somebody in the family you want to thank for a virtuous act? Is there something you wish you had not done that you need to talk about? How can you make tomorrow a better day?
Make up oxymorons. What are those? An oxymoron is a pair of words that seem to cancel each other out. A "modern antique" is one, because "modern" means new and "antique" means old. A "peaceful war" is another, because war and peace are opposites. What are some more? What about "a good lie"? Is that an oxymoron? Or a "bad virtue"?
Find stories about right and wrong turning into each other. Look in newspapers and watch the television for stories of people who did the right thing that turned out wrong, or the wrong thing that came out right.

Clara Turns 1!
It happened, well its actually happening Wednesday, but my little peanuts first birthday party was over the weekend. So much prep going into a little ones first birthday! I felt like it was a wedding. Okay not quiet, but a first birthday is a big deal. I finally gave up on a theme, and just went for a ton of color, balloons, streamers, and some Mickey Mouse (clara is head over heels in love with Mickey). The decor, the food, all of the love from family and friends, it actually turned out so much better then I was even envisioning! Don't ya love when that happens? Overall a magical day, for everyone we shared it with, I have one lucky little girl!
A special thanks to the amazing Alice G Patterson who beautifully captured the day with her amazing photos!

PATRICE LAROSE-JULIA SARR December , 2006 Set LunaNo Format/Sunnyside
This unheralded album from Youssou N'Dour's back-up singer Julia Sarr and French flamenco guitarist Patrice LaRose caught us by surprise in January, so we profiled them in our March issue. A seemingly odd pairing brought together by life in France, this fusion of European and African music transcends its roots to stand on its own. Sarr explores her own Wolof background while drawing upon jazz phrasing, gospel intonation and a bit of introspective Western pop, LaRose riffs away on acoustic guitar, with a deft touch and an ear for heart-aching melody, as light African percussion and other subtle touches filling out the background. The bar has been set incredibly high for this pair.
