The Folger Shakespeare Library launched an Undergraduate Program in 2007 under the direction of Dr. Sarah Werner. The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation supported the launch of the program with planning grants. The George Washington University co-sponsored the earliest offerings of semester seminars. Georgetown University has also sponsored an annual seminar. In collaboration with Amherst College, the Folger also hosts an intensive January program for Amherst undergraduates.
The semester seminars meet weekly at the Library under the direction of Folger professional staff. Students learn basic archival research skills, are introduced to the field of book history, and pursue advanced independent research on early modern topics. With visits from Folger staff and guest faculty, the seminar provides a wide-ranging, materials-based introduction to the methods and topics of current research in early modern studies.
In the summer of 2013, the program moves into the ambit of the Folger Institute, the Folger's dedicated center for advanced research in the humanities.
For more information on the semester seminar, including course description, admissions information, and syllabus, please follow the links to the left.

The Queue: Oh man did someone say talent {WoW}
Jun 16th 2011 4:20PM Matt, while it's still technically 'required,' you can group with someone on an alt, form the raid group, then they're free to log out and the raid stays together until one person or the other actually leaves the group. IMO this is pretty much bypassed at this point. To be fair, I haven't done it in awhile, but it used to work just fine.

Jun 16th 2011 2:18PM Not sure if it's been addressed, but is there any chance blizz will remove the "must be in a raid group" requirement for folks who like to solo old content? It just seems like a PITA more than anything. What's even the purpose behind it, considering that it can be bypassed?

The Queue: Entering the modern era {WoW}
Jan 24th 2011 11:54AM Here's something I've been wondering about....
Back in the good old days, when there was a named mob for a quest, it was first come first served and people generally waited for their turn to get the mob to complete the quest. (Leave my rose-colored old timer glasses alone) These days, it's whoever has a pet set on aggressive, and then everyone else fights to tag the mob the next time it spawns. However, there has been a few times in Cata that people have jumped in while I was in the middle of a fight, and after the mob is down and I offer to help them out, they say they have credit for the mob too even though we weren't grouped. Has this changed? If so, how exactly does it work? Do you just have to hit a mob once to get credit when it dies even if another group has it tagged? I'd love this so much if Blizz actually changed it, because it would make questing in high demand areas so much nicer. Thanks, and thanks for the awesome site!

Ruby Hill Park provides year round enjoyment, and amazing vistas of the mountains, downtown Denver, and the southern metropolitan area.
People in Denver know Ruby Hill for its sledding hill and one-of-a-kind rail yard provided by Winter Park Resorts.
Not everyone knows (yet) that the City of Denver plans on making this park a destination park that draws some of the same crowds that flock to nearby Wash Park. Construction has already begun on a master plan. An overview included in the master plan is posted below.

Made possible by Pepsi.
The term "mobile quarterback" or "read-option quarterback" or "running quarterback" previously came with a stereotype, one that's only just recently started to get smashed into several pieces, though it still lingers.
So many moons ago there was Bobby Douglas, who built the stereotype I speak of in 1972, when he rushed for 968 yards while completing only 37.9 percent of his passes. Decades later the mold began to crack with Randall Cunningham, who held the all-time quarterback rushing yards record until it was later broken by Michael Vick, who also holds the single-season record and remains the only quarterback to ever run for over 1,000 yards in a season.
But even with Vick, the stigma of being the fast and elusive quarterback who can easily be defended by making him become a more standard quarterback still existed because of the throws he often sprayed. Inaccuracy is the running thrower's downfall, a fact of life which was furthered by a man named Tebow.
We live in a new age, though, one in which a select few pioneering quarterbacks can both run and throw, and do both well as long as their knee ligaments aren't still in the healing process (get well soon. Robert Griffin III). Chief among them is Russell Wilson.
Wilson is now preparing for a divisional round playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, and we can look back to his Week 13 game against those same Saints to see Wilson at his best and most slippery. While leading his Seahawks to a 34-7 win — one of the most lopsided losses in Saints history (Wilson accounted for 357 total yards (310 passing, and 47 running) while throwing three touchdown passes and completing 73.3 percent of his passes.
One of those touchdowns wasn't at all just your normal, chillin' toss.It went to Doug Baldwin on a play near the goal-line when Wilson sprinted right, saw his first read was covered, and then turned to the opposite side of the field to complete an off-balance strike to a wide open receiver. Why was he wide open? Because who the hell is able to go against their own momentum to throw across their body, and to the back corner of the end zone like that? Russell Wilson.
Repeatedly in his second season we've seen that sort of off-balance magician work, the kind of pass that leads to an insta-cringe the second it's released, and then jubilation upon the result. When he's operating at his highest level (which has been often this year), that's the adjustment we have to make with Wilson. His creativity leads to opportunities that others wouldn't even consider.
Much like Colin Kaepernick, who demonstrated similar brilliance Sunday night, Wilson is the ideal read-option quarterback, as that combination of creativity while on the run and, well, running has led to frequent chunks. I often reference chunk plays, and so do coaches, because they're pretty important for the most obvious yet vital reason ever: moving the ball and your offense down the field while covering vast stretches of space in only a few plays is a very good thing.
In total this year Wilson accounted for 53 plays of 20 yards or more, four of which came on the ground. Those bursts are often the product of defenses having to make a read-option decision which isn't at all fun: commit to Wilson, or Marshawn Lynch. What's even more impressive is that unlike, say, Vick before him (who's had only one season as a starter with a completion percentage over 60.0), he did that running while staying accurate (63.1 completion percentage), and more importantly, staying accurate on longer passes with a higher degree of difficulty (his 8.2 YPA was seventh among quarterbacks with at least 100 pass attempts).
Some other digits from Wilson's impressive stretches during the 2013 regular season:
- While averaging 25.4 attempts per game, he had five games when his YPA went above 9.0
- He had six games with a completion percentage above 70.0, including four straight between weeks 9 and 13
- Oh, and about sizzling stretches: during a seven-game run between weeks 6 and 13, Wilson threw just two interceptions and 14 touchdowns (he finished with 25 TDs in total, and just nine picks).
In only two seasons a dynamic quarterback who fell to the third round in the spring of 2012 due to concerns about his height has been a Pro Bowler twice (first as an alternate last year). And for the second time in two years, he'll quarterback an offense in an divisional round playoff game.
Maybe this year he'll do the same a week from now in the NFC Championship. Or three weeks from now in the Super Bowl.

Anyone growing ferns outdoors in the Southwest? If so, what variety? Here in my area it is extremely hot in the summer -- 90+ to 100+ and dry. I have shade with moist compost. Winters are cold at times with snow and ice and temperatures dropping well below freezing -- in the 20s sometime near zero. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion anyone might have. |

Thanks, Lazygardens. I should have known to look up Texas Native Ferns for information. You reminded me what should have been obvious to anyone interested in Texas Native plants. |
I successfully grew Japanese Painted Fern in Albuquerque under a cherry tree. My entire garden area was on drip irrigation. It got some morning sun, but was in dappled shade most of the day and full shade after 3PM or so (on the Eastern side of a cinder block wall). |

Package Includes:
This is such a great sounding package that includes the famous Solo Baric subwoofer, and a top of the line Hifonics amplifier with the perfect amount of power.
Wiring Diagram:
Description of 11S15L74:
Audiosavings can only ship Kicker products to the United States. Sorry, but we can not ship Kicker to Canada or United Kingdom.
Here at AudioSavings we strongly believe that Kicker is the BEST brand in the Car Audio Industry, so much so, that we GUARANTEE you will be more than satisfied with the sound and value of their products. We urge you to buy this product, test it, and if it doesn't meet your standards, send it back to us within 90 Days and we'll give you a 100% FULL REFUND (or store credit). We'll even give you a return shipping label to ship it back to us!!!
There are no restrictions to this guarantee, other than you must send back the same item we sent you along with the any included accessories.
Solo-Baric L7 Subwoofer technology continues to maintain the title as the first and foremost authority on bass. It was the world's first patented square subwoofer, supplying the extra decibels needed for deep, musical bass in a mobile audio system.
"Bass is what we are all about… it's our specialty," Kicker founder and President Steve Irby said. "From the very start, we've been known for rich sound – it's the Kicker heritage, and it's carried out through all we do."
The Solo-Baric's cutting-edge, square-sub design ultimately means more cone area, more air displacement and, therefore, more decibels than a conventional round woofer. With a patented corner-ribbed, double-stitched Santoprene® surround helping to hold the massive motor structure in place, the Solo-Baric L7 provides durability at a high excursion without compromising sound quality.
"We've got the accuracy, but we also have the intensity," Irby said. "When we listen (during testing), we listen to it loud – we know there is no distortion. We make sure of it."
The Solo-Baric L7's highly-engineered motor structure handles huge power and provides extreme output. With heavy-duty, ribbon tinsel leads intertwined with semi-progressive spider technology, the square sub promises dependability when pushed to the limit, while dual voice coils with high-temp copper windings easily handle intense heat and power levels.
In addition to the unshakable structure, the Solo-Baric revolves around Kicker's most advanced cone design, the injection-molded SoloKon™, which adds targeted strength for reliable performance and accurate response. The 360-degree, constant-contact back bracing adheres directly to every contour of the SoloKon square cone, maximizing the mechanical coupling of the motor while making the woofer as strong and responsive as possible.
Venting in SoloKon's back-bracing and along the perimeter of the spider landing provides maximum air-flow to cool the voice coils during operation. The woofer utilizes a high-mass, extended pole piece to aid in heat dissipation.
The distinctive cast-aluminum basket provides a strong motor foundation, maintaining a low temperature and a mild magnetic field for the most efficient motion, as well as protecting the Solo-Baric's specialized inner workings. The Solo-Baric L7 woofer remains available in 2-Ohm or 4-Ohm DVC and conducts business from a sealed- or vented-box application.
Top of the line Atrend quality!
The Atrend 15KDV is a dual 15" vented/ported square subwoofer box made for the solo baric L7 or L5. The thickness of these boxes are unmatched! The front panel of the box where the sub gets mounted is made of extremely thick 1" inch MDF wood. The rest of the box is built with 3/4" high-grade MDF construction. While other manufacturers use 3/4" or less MDF in the front panel, Atrend chooses to use a thicker 1" MDF because the front panel receives the most pressure causing the wood to flex more than the rest of the box. With the thick 1" MDF you will have no warping or breaking of the wood over time, and less distortion from your subs, and significantly improved sound quality. These use top quality glue with multiple coatings to ensure long life.
One of the major issues with off brand name boxes and import boxes are that the cut-out sizes of the holes where you mount the subwoofer are not shaped perfectly. Atrend specializes in manufacturing sub enclosures and their cut-out holes are always exact to the specifications.
When it comes to your subwoofer box, you need the highest quality. Atrend is known by car audio experts to be one of the best manufacturers for subwoofer enclosures. If you want great sound quality, be careful not to buy a box that is a cheap import. Atrend specializes in manufacturing subwoofer enclosures and they are the best at it!
We have had our MECP certified audio engineers lab test many subwoofer enclosures from many different manufacturers. Atrend was by far the best in performance, sound quality and construction.
You also Get:
Complete Dual Subwoofer Enclosure Installation Kit!
This accessory package includes everything you need to install two subwoofers into an enclosure, and wire your enclosure to your amplifier. This package is a top of the line accessory package which we put together and tested.
The drywall wood screws were hand selected by our installation experts because they drill into the enclosure very cleanly, without chipping the enclosure. The speaker wire is 14 gauge. This is way better than using 16 gauge. You can be 100 % sure that your enclosure will have a clean signal to the amplifier with this top of the line speaker wire. These spade terminals have also been hand selected by our installation experts to make the internal wiring simple, secure, and to run the audio signal cleanly.
Description of BRZ2100.1D:
Hifonics totally revamped the Brutus series product line for 2010. They are moving their product line upscale, and all the amps have more efficient power ratings than the previous models. For the first time ever, the Hifonis Zeus and Brutus series are CEA-2006 compliant. This means the specs are 100 % accurate and efficient according to the industry standard. When comparing the Zeus or the Brutus series from Hifonics to any other of the leading car audio brands, you can be 100 % sure that these amps will meet or exceed the ratings of those other brands.
The Super Class-D Brutus series from Hifonics are all highly efficient amplifiers with high power and superb engineering with the result being one of the best competition amplifiers on the market. The newly designed Brutus series features a new heat sink design, with vertical fins. This helps greatly to dissipate heat and have the amp run more efficiently, which results in more power without effecting your car's electrical system. In a nutshell, you're getting more watts per dollar than other amps can give you. The Brutus amps are one ohm stable, and for the 2010 models, they are also stable up to 18 volts!
This amp includes a remote bass knob so you can control the output level right from your dash.
Description of WK01:
The Cadence WK01 0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) amplifier installation kit features high purity copper power and ground cables, along with top of the line 100 % copper RCA cables and all the accessories needed to install your high powered amplifier.The RCA signal transfer cables included in this kit feature blue and silver twisted pair technology in a clear outer jacket insulation skin. Not only do the blue and silver wires look cool but they also provide superior signal transfer with maximum noise suppression. They are 100% copper to provide absolute lossless perfect signal transfer to your receiver. This technology reduces interference, so your audio signal flows clean and pure at all power levels.This kit also includes a massive 200 amp ANL gold plated fuse, so you can be sure it will handle the all the DC power that your amp will need without even the slightest loss of current. The included 7' split loom tube provides protection for your power cable from the typically harsh environment found under the hood of your car.
Audiosavings product experts have tested this amp kit against many leading amp kits on the market and were were impressed not only by the great looks but by the quality of these Cadence installation kits as well. These kits had a lower resistance rating than the other brands we compared and tested them against. What this means is that Cadence manufactures their kits with more pure copper, ultimately providing your amplifiers with better and cleaner DC power, so they work cooler and more efficiently. You will hear the difference a Cadence installation kit will make!From all the testing and research we did, here is what we found out. The resistance per foot of this kit is 0.23882300. Most brands will not give you this rating so we tested the other brands cables. We tested name brand cables so they weren't bad. They had a resistance rating of 0.2650. The cheaper brands were way worse than this. The cheaper brands may show you a very thick cable, but its thick with plastic insulation and thin in the actual amount of wire used inside. Don't be fooled, resistance is the only rating that matters when it comes to wires and cables.
Do not take a chance of using a kit that falls short. It could ultimately cause damage by starving your amp for current and in worst case scenarios, those cables can get so hot they actually melt and can catch on fire!
The conclusion is that Cadence does a great job manufacturing amp kits while other brands are deceiving consumers. Similar kits we tested actually use about 15 % less copper and they will not perform properly.

Palace Theatre
121-123 Union Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The New Palace Theatre of Varieties was opened on 5th September 1898. It was built as a music hall for the Livermore Bothers. In the early days, films were presented as part of the variety programme. The building was designed in a Flemish Renaissance style, with the interior in an Art Nouveau style, with nautical features. Seating was provided for 339 in the orchestra stalls, 307 in the pit stalls, 214 in the dress circle, 148 in the rear circle and 400 in the gallery, with four stage boxes on each side of the 30 feet wide proscenium and the stage 28 feet deep. There were ten dressing rooms, and the orchestra pit could accommodate 14 musicians. The theatre was badly damaged by a fire on 23rd December 1898, just over three months after opening. It was refurbished and reopened on 22nd May 1899, with a much simpler decorative scheme.
The Palace Theatre thrived for many years, presenting variety, plays, opera, circus and pantomimes. It was closed in the mid-1950's. In 1961, it was converted into a bingo club. Refurbished and re-opened as a live theatre in 1978, this was a short lived venture, closing in 1983. The building was then converted into a nightclub, known as the Dance Academy. In recent years this has closed and the building is now in a state of disrepair.
The Palace Theatre is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II Listed building.

Photographer decides to use Palace for photo shoot; she and model find themselves locked in after workmen leave. The fire brigade saves the day. Plymouth Herald story here.
From the context of the story it would seem that the cinema is under renovation, but details are lacking.
Hi Mike Blakemore, you might remember me. We sold you, and installed the motorised Halls screen for you at The Savoy. I am involved with the restoration committee for The Palace Theatre. Do you have the original of this image, or merely came across it? More importantly do you (or anyone else reading this have possibly unseen images of this theatre? We are extremely keen to gather as much information as possible to help with the restoration). It would be good to hear from you again,please feel free to contact me.

Welcome back to another Getting Quoted. This week we have a bunch of reactions to teams in the playoffs, some nonsense about a hat, and Tony LaRussa being terrifying. Because, obviously.
What's the big deal?
This is Nationals manager Davey Johnson's reaction to his team clinching a playoff spot, and, I mean it's not a huge deal, just the universe as we know it imploding on itself. The Nationals are in the playoffs, people. This is a reality we now have to live with. (Yes, I am ignoring the fact that they did an excellent job building a team over a few years for the sake of the joke. It's what I do.)
We've played very successful baseball this year, and we've competed with the best teams at a very high level.
Okay, here's the deal. I love Joey Votto. I think as a Canadian it's a citizenship requirement. But this has to be the least specific quote of anything ever (hyperbole!). It's his reaction to the Reds clinching a playoff spot but you'd never know it. Out of context, this quote could be the answer to anything. This is like when Baxter ate the wheel of cheese. I'm not even mad, I'm just impressed.
So, considering all the bad feelings and in-fighting that Kent experienced throughout his big league career, he should be the perfect contestant for "Survivor," right?
I don't even know what to do with this. Apparently Jeff Kent is on Survivor this season? I know, I didn't know Survivor was still a thing either. Also, apparently Jeff Kent is not only on Survivor this season, but Jeff Kent tore a bunch of ligaments in his knee while filming the show. While he was on a raft. This is officially the strangest thing I've written about in this space. And I've quoted Nyjer Morgan.
That's why I'm wearing this hat. We're having fun with this. It's our way of supporting him for supporting us. We're all 49er fans here. This is in honor of Alex. I'm glad he didn't have to pay the fine. That's good news.
Okay, so, apparently 49ers QB Alex Smith was fined for wearing a Giants hat after one of his games because the NFL is stupid and fun is a foreign concept. So Bruce Bochy decided to wear a 49ers hat after one of the Giants games in solidarity. Which then became a news story. With nothing to back this up, I think I can safely claim that this is Bruce Bochy's Occupy Movement. Occupy Hats. It's a thing.
Turner also will broadcast an LCS each year, two division series and 13 regular-season Sunday telecasts. However, it will gain more telecasts that will be broadcast simultaneously with the local club TV feed within a market and increased digital rights.
Somewhere, Ted Turner is laughing maniacally as he sits in his room dedicated to his piles of money. So many piles of money.
You can't change records because once you get into that it would never stop. It would create more problems than it would solve.
So, Melky Cabrera is still leading the National League in batting average while serving his 50 game suspension which means he might win the title despite being suspended. This, understandably, has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the MLB offices about what to do. This is Selig's take. This is kind of a crazy situation and, while I get where Selig's coming from, should a guy who's currently serving a suspension for a banned substance be allowed to win the (pointless) title? It's kind of a nutty situation. I'm actually surprised that this hasn't come up before. Crazy times, people.
UPDATE: Well, that didn't last long. Way to stick to your guns there, Selig.
To have the right to participate in a qualifier for the World Baseball Classic already represented a great advance for Brazil. And with the announcement of our new manager, Brazil certainly will be extra motivated.
Barry Larkin is managing Brazil in the World Baseball Classic. Barry Larkin is not Brazillian. I don't get it.
When you play a team 18 times during the regular season, there's bound to be some sparks, especially when both clubs have similarly aggressive styles. That's good competitive action, but what Morgan said in that same tweet – that we'd be watching the postseason on television – didn't fit into that category, and neither did his actions in that game. What he did was: Unwise. Uncalled for. Not forgotten.
Holy shit, Tony LaRussa can hold a grudge. This is from his new autobiography. Apparently there's a paragraph about Nyjer Morgan. The end of this quote is kind of: Amazing. Bold. Pants-shittingly terrifying.

I'm making this cross for my sister. I want to grout a very, very light blue (just a hint, really). I've done grout washes before, but sometimes I've found the wash to absorb more in some areas than others, so I want to try tinting. when they say you can tint with acrylic paint, is this in the pic the kind I'm supposed to use? I imagine I can't use very much, so I don't mess with the properties of the grout. I didn't know if they meant the artist's acrylics in the tube. Thanks! |

What a lovely cross ! I use that kind of acrylic paint, yes. Someone told me years ago to start wetting the grout with the paint, mix it in and then finish up with water. It has never affected the grout in strength or anything for me, and I find If I buy the colored grout and dont add the paint I dont like how the grout goes on for me. It makes me wonder if the paint acts like the additive some people use. I also use the darkest shade of paint I can find, and mix my grout on the dry side. |
Yes, acrylic is a common polymer for concrete. It can make the texture smoother. It also reduces the amount of water required thereby making the mixture stronger. Beautiful cross! Let us know how it turns out! |
Thanks for the help. I mixed some grout this morning to check the color, and duh me, yes indeed I need a darker color. The color in this bottle is the color I want to end up with. But of course I need to mix with all that white! Silly me. |
- Posted by wackyweeder (My Page) on Mon, Jul 23, 12 at 19:44
You might try tinting gray grout to darken your blue.. |
thanks wacky, i will try that too. i haven't been able to "play" with it the last couple days. hopefully tomorrow. i have some light gray grout that might work well. thanks for the tip. |

You reach the pool of water at the very center of the oasis, and are oddly compelled to drink from it. Actually, I guess it's not that odd of a compulsion -- you're just thirsty.
The moment the water touches your lips, you feel completely and utterly refreshed. This is by far the wettest water you've ever encountered. Proper hydration fills your every nook and cranny -- even some crannies you weren't even aware existed before!

Looking back at Billy Crystal's best Oscar moments: "The funnyman has hosted eight (count 'em, eight!) previous shows and came to the rescue this year when producer Brett Ratner self-immolated and host Eddie Murphy subsequently bailed out. By now, you know his style -- hack, adorable, dadish -- but let's take a few minutes to honor the Academy's consummate emcee. From Gollum impersonations to 'Titanic' digs, above are Crystal's best Oscar hosting moments ever." MOVIEFONE
New twist in Bret Michaels lawsuit against the Tony Awards: "... 'defendants CBS Broadcasting, Inc., Tony Awards Productions, White Cherry Entertainment, Inc. and others involved in producing the 2009 Tony Awards, where Rock Star Bret Michaels sustained life-threatening head injuries, filed a Third Party Complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against third-party Rock of Ages Broadway LLC' ... 'This is a desperate act. The producers of the Tony Awards and their co-defendants cannot credibly deny that they almost killed Bret while he was performing with the cast of "Rock of Ages," so instead they are trying to point the finger elsewhere,' said Alex Weingarten, managing partner of Weingarten Brown LLP, counsel for Bret Michaels." BROADWAY WORLD
Oscar-nominee Michael O'Connor discusses his costumes for "Jane Eyre": "It's a pivotal, intimate moment in the film when Jane (Mia Wasikowska) wakes a sleeping Rochester to save him from the flames in his bedroom. 'I think there was talk of [Michael Fassbender] doing the scene in the nude. But we didn't know about "Shame," at the time,' O'Connor laughs. 'I imagine he could have been persuaded.'" EW.COM
Kenneth Branagh discusses being inspired by Laurence Olivier: "He was unquestionably the dominant figure in the British acting scene when I started acting. He was the epitome of this combination of a classical actor, a great film star and a national institution. The first time I ever encountered Olivier though was seeing Peter Sellers on TV doing an impression of his piping strangulated tenor. I remember impersonating Sellers impersonating Olivier the next day in the school playground. One was aware even then of what a complete and all-pervasive impact Olivier had on all elements of the profession." DEADLINE
Michael Douglas added to the list of Oscar presenters: "Douglas won an Oscar for his lead performance in 'Wall Street' (1987) and a Best Picture award as a producer of 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975). His film credits include 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,' 'Solitary Man,' 'You, Me and Dupree,' 'Traffic,' 'Wonder Boys,' 'Falling Down,' 'Fatal Attraction' and 'The China Syndrome.'" REUTERS
Richard Rushfield discusses Oscars with our very own Tom O'Neil: "We talk of the Oscar race and marijuana madness this week on the podcast of the downfall of civilization. I talk of the he state of the Oscar race and tales from the Awards trail of tears with Tom O'Neil, editor of Gold Derby, one of the media's most reknowned Oscar pundits. Hillel Aron stops by to talk about his LA Weekly cover story on the chaos unleashed across Los Angeles wrought by the conflicting medical marijauna regulations." RUSHFIELD BABYLON

My research involves comparing remnant and restored/reconstructed prairies. My primary method of comparison uses insects, grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae). I am currently working on the habitat requirements for Schistocerca lineata Scudder on remnant prairies in western Wisconsin.
I also consult with industry and non-profit organizations. My past work has involved surveying for endangered plants, stored grain insect infestations, pest management problems, and insect sampling.
Since 1994 I have taught a variety of courses in the biology department. My teaching focuses on engaging students, both majors and non-majors, in and out of the classroom. Students are engaged through discussions, group projects and service learning. I am a firm believer that students need to participate in the community, on and off campus.

looks good (apart from the decals) and has a lot of the features I'd spec if I was building a hardcore hardtail. One question though, if it's UK designed and built why not a front facing seat tube split?
Matt – what shirt you wearing? Bike specific? Been wanting something like that for ages.
Matt's shirt is one of the new lightweight, smart riding shirts from Scott Sports.

is that price right?
Does anyone *really* have that many problems arising from rear facing seat tube splits? Can't say it's something that's ever caused me a problem. I should perhaps point out that I'm not a frequent seat post fiddler, nor do I feel the need for uppy-downy posts…
1240 Lira?
it's not April 1st yet, is it?
ditto.. £1240?
crikey – that is the price on the Hammoon website! Seems quite high for a new company. The equivalent Curtis (with custom options too) is about £400 cheaper. Or a Cotic / Genesis / On-one / Ragley for nearly a grand cheaper. Crumbs.
I would be well interested in a UK designed/built steel hard tail to replace my too short P7 but not for that price, a yeti 575 frame can be had for not much more! I would say £800 is the price point for custom steel £1275 is more your Ti bracket.
1thousand how much? What is their dream exactly?

I like this quite a bit. I never use brow pencils, powders, etc., but do like to use clear gels to keep them in place. I bought this in Shiny Brown because I thought a tinted gel might be worth a try. The amount of color it has is great, and the shimmer is surprisingly pretty (gives just that extra bit of polish). Its lasting power is bit shorter than some clears gels I've used, but the trade-off seems worth it. I took one lippy off for the somewhat-objectionable ingredient list.
I have this brow grooming gel in the brown shade.
The price is really high for such a small product ,comparing with the lancome brow groomer which is 2 dollars more expensive,but a considerable size container. Also I needed to apply many coats to get my eyebros to fix themseles in shape. With my lancome one, on the other hand, I have to be too careful not to overdo my eyebrows ( a la groucho), but it leaves them tinted, neat and runway worthy.
I would thin the Dior one would work the same, but I was dissapointed. Maybe is more aof a natural look, but I rather not use it if it is goin to be SO natural that I can not tell the difference.
The brush of the Dior grooming brow gel has a side with short bristles and a side with longer ones...I get better results with the long bristled side.
Usually I am a big gan of Dior products ( Dior shimmery powders, yum) but this is not on par.
More reviews by dollface_vixen
The only, and I mean the ONLY brow product that actually holds my brows in place. Plus it gives a nice shiny effect. I don't know, somehow it makes my face look more radiant.
Love this stuff! Previously, I had been using a MAC Brow Set from the Catherine Deneuve collection, which was getting a bit rank. I tried other brands, but couldn't find a neutral enough dark brown that had good hold. Enter DiorShow. I have the Shiny Brown. It is amazing. I still fill in my arches with Stila brow powder, but this stuff also adds color to my sparse brows and grooms the hairs. This is a must-have for me, and the brush blows MAC out of the water.
This is a must have for me! It's amazing. I wear the darkest shade. It holds my brows in place and gives it shine, and that extra ooomph of color! Love it and will always buy it! Must have!!
I love this brow product as it holds my brows in place all day long and gives them a little sheen while also giving them more omph!
I dont like this as much as I like my Shiseido eye brow shaper. This contains 4 ml and Shiseido 8 ml. Shiseido eye brow shaper is colorless. I have this one in dark brown color and I find the brush a bit hard to use. I prefer to do some precision work first with a pencil anyways, but maybe if you don't use any other color on your brows, and your brows are nearly perfect just a bit unrury, this product is for you. But if you need to fill your brows you are really better off with something clear. This comes in clear too but I wont repurchase because shiseido is better and lasts longer as they give you double of the product Dior does.
Available only @ Sephora and Dior salons. I like it, however, more for a night-time look, because it is a bit shimmery. I use it in Shiny Blond, which is a shining gold tone. Love the packaging: it has a spiral brush applicator so you can groom your brows while applying the product. Keeps my brows conditioned too.

The impressive beer list can be pulled out from the specially designed table so it's always at hand, and the staff is knowledgeable about what's offered. Dulye generally features five appetizers such as quail crepinettes with house-made boudin blanc, and a half dozen main courses that might include petrale sole with warm Dungeness crab and fennel with satsuma beurre blanc.
Specialties: Tasting menu matched with beer; any game bird such as roast pheasant with parsnip puree, kale and blackberries; bone marrow.

Washington, DC, Apr 26, 2013
-- @@Ms. Deb Baker, President/General Manager of PRO/Rental was recognized with a certificate of appreciation from USDA Rural Development for her management of multi-family properties throughout the state of South Dakota. Baker has been the owner and manager of PRO/Rental since its formation on September 1, 1983. "We are proud to recognize Deb for her hard work and dedication of service," said South Dakota USDA Rural Development State Director Elsie M. Meeks. "Rural Development helps to ensure communities have affordable rental and housing options. Deb, with the help of her dedicated staff, played an important role in the lives of the tenants while she personally overseen repairs, handled financial matters, dealt with concerns of the residents, and developed long term planning for the properties." Baker received recognition during a farewell party held in her honor in Sturgis. The award was presented by Rural Development Area Director Tim Potts who has worked with her for 25 years. During Baker's career, she provided oversight for the entire operation of approximately 45 properties consisting of approximately 900 government subsidized units throughout the state; Rural Development's 515, HUD/Section 8, LIHTC, HOME, and Conventional Properties. Baker commented, "Owning my own business has sometimes been a challenge, but absolutely the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I hope I actually made a difference in people's lives." For 30 years Baker provided steady and secure employment for a number of people, housing to thousands of residents and helped owner's maintain the integrity of their investments. Baker has seen a great number of changes in the multi-family housing program over the years. "For the most part, the Rural Development staff has always been awesome to work with, very helpful, and have tried their best to be accommodating. I will miss them," added Baker. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $700 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible. |

Hi Mark, The place to post what you've got for exchange is the Exchange Page (see top of this page). I believe they have discouraged exchanges for postage & wish us to do more exchanges meaning a plant traded for another plant, not for postage or cash. Pls. check for Special Instructions for Exchanges, I believe it's posted right there at the top of the Exchange Page. You've got some beautiful plants there too. |
Pirate girl, The question of whether a plant will make a good houseplant and what general qualities lead to this is an important one. As far as I am aware it has not been addressed yet in this forum. I have a number of specific candidates I would like to try. These are all tough shade plants that like environments that are frost free or nearly so. To say that I'm requesting others' opinions but not mention that I will even provide them with the materials to address the question would be very odd. By offering the plants here it should minimize the number of people who just want to grab free goodies and actually target those interesting in addressing the question that I am posing. Gardenweb does not discourage trades for postage. I suggest you reread the instructions. They prefer that people not post that they are looking plants or seeds and then say that they are willing to pay postage. That is the opposite. If Gardenweb were to adopt such a policy I would protest and most likely abandon the site entirely. |

Mark, The question of what makes a "good" houseplant is an interesting question, am curious to see peoples' responses. Maybe is we give folks a little time, at least a day or two, they'll start weighing in w/ some considered responses. [don't be surprised if someone first suggests we might have to define the term "good" for this question]. I believe we'll have to disagree completely about Exchange restrictions. I know what I read & just to be sure, I went back & read it again. I don't know how to invoke bold or underline in here so am quoting the entire text where I suggested you go to the area marked "Special Instructions for Exchanges." "Special Instructions for Exchanges: This area is for the purpose of exchanging seeds or plants of the type covered by this forum. The exchanges were created to facilitate the arranging of trades of plants and seeds between members. PLEASE DO NOT use them to solicit donations, ask for free plants or seeds, or ASK FOR ITEMS IN EXCHANGE FOR POSTAGE. ALL REQUESTS MUST BE IN THE CONTEXT OF ARRANGING A TRADE. If you have nothing to offer at this time, please wait until you do. All exchanges are restricted to users from a particular country, region or state. If it isn't indicated otherwise, the exchange is restricted to residents of the U.S. To find an exchange for your location, check the the exchange index. Messages addressed to or meant for particular users should be sent via email and are not allowed in the exchanges. If you have trouble with another person coming through with their end of a trade, you must deal with it privately. It is the consensus of the forum users that this type of thing be kept out of our forums. Any public accusation in this forum, or elsewhere at GardenWeb, will result in the accuser being banned. To avoid problems when shipping across borders and some state lines, it is best to ship plants bare-rooted and to label the container as such. It is up to the users involved to determine what is legal and what is not. THIS FORUM IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXCHANGING MATERIAL, THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO MENTION MONEY IN ANY POSTINGS. IF MONEY IS MENTIONED, THE POSTING WILL BE CONSIDERED AN ADVERTISEMENT AND THE POSTER WILL BE BANNED. Trading of patented material is unlawful and is strictly forbidden." |
I stand by my interpretation. They object to people requesting items and saying that they will send postage in exchange. I will email the administrators and chemocurl (Sue) for a clarification. Requesting money has nothing to do with saying one will send something for postage. They are in fact the opposite in intent. Why do you capitalize that section? When I say that I will probably exchange it for postage that means that people can feel free to offer me seeds/cuttings/plants, but that I will probably send it for postage instead. I simply trade mostly for postage--please check my rate and review. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/raterev/msg1022122812494.html?12 I actually checked this thread because it turns out I forgot a plant. This is Monopsis lutea (from Annie's Annuals): http://www.anniesannuals.com/plt_lst/lists/search/lst.srch.asp?prodid=690&srch_term=Lobelia (scroll down for the best picture) The Annie's description says: "P.S. It seems like it would make a good house plant. " I actually have a huge number of little (at the moment tiny) rooted cuttings and can include one with the other things, likely for postage. |

I capped it to draw specific attention to those points (which I also clearly explained to you, why need to question that too). I did not say that questing money has anything to do w/ sending things for postage alone. It's that you asked about both issues & since they're both addressed in the post, I highlighted them both. There's not much interpretation required it seems to me they've stated it pretty straight forward. Perhaps IF the Administrators respond to your question, you'd favor us all by posting the answer. In the meantime, there is a place at your Member Page, to list what one has to offer for trades, I noticed you haven't filled it in there, might be a good place to start. |
Hi all...chemocurl Sue here...not affiliated with GW, but an active longtime trading member on the exchanges. How about this? You are both right. Pirate_girl posted the Special Instructions as they appear on the Exchanges. Per the instructions: PLEASE DO NOT use them to solicit donations, ask for free plants or seeds, or C. ALL REQUESTS MUST BE IN THE CONTEXT OF ARRANGING A TRADE. If you have nothing to offer at this time, please wait until you do. The key words here are ASK FOR ITEMS IN EXCHANGE FOR POSTAGE. What Mark is doing is generously offering his excess plants (in exchange) for (the cost of) postage (being paid by the receiving member.) also per the SI: I think GW knows that a large part of the joy of gardening is getting to share ones love of plants by sharing their excess. They (GW) have never had a problem with members offering up seeds, plants, cuttings, bulbs in exchange for postage. Many of the members with excess are long time gardeners and often there is just not much that they don't already have or want, so they choose to share rather than composting their excess. I simply trade mostly for postage--please check my rate and review. Clear as mud? Hope I haven't confused things further, and will admit that the SI as they are written, are a bit confusing, and subject to interpretation. Hopefully someone from GW Admin will weigh in here, and help to clear things up. Mark, have you emailed GW? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Special Instructions for the (Seed) Exchange
Collectively, I think "good" houseplants are those that are genetically vigorous enough and sufficiently tolerant of indoor conditions that they have at least the potential to look good, in spite of what we regularly subject them to. From individual grower to individual grower, in some instances we can add to the list covered by what I mentioned above, some plants that often give most others fits indoors, but we might have a gift for bringing along in good health. It's not uncommon to find growers here & there who are consistently able to provide the cultural conditions a particular plant with a reputation for being uncooperative indoors responds very well to. While these plants might not make the collective list, they deserve a position on the individual's list. Conversely, some plants that are collectively considered 'easy', might present themselves as difficult to a few individuals. These plants would then be included on the collective list, but most likely scratched from the individual list. I greatly admire the growers who, having taken on a challenging plant and failed, keep trying until they get it right. Al |

What Al said... :) Many people have problems growing Pothos. The same people might feel they'd never be able to keep an African Violet to a ZZ Plant. At first..in many cases, those same people end up with 350-400 plants..lol. We keep indoor plants that orignate from tropical rain forests to arid deserts. I for one would never buy an IL native and grow as a house plant. BTW, I love the OT's Stromanthe trio. Perfect specimen. If the Poster is still around, I'd like to know if the other plants can be grown as house plants?? Toni |
Hi Toni, I really haven't tried any yet. I'm still propagating most of them and keeping the mother plant outside. I have had a Bulbine inside in a glass of water for a while, but that doesn't count. I really need to put one of those inside and see what happens. I've had a little Monopsis lutea inside for several days and already it looks like it wants more light. I should think about adding Agapetes serpens to that list. I think (?) people already grow it as a houseplant some places. Another semingly odd choice that should be added to the list is Rojasianthe superba. I just picked it up yesterday ($7.50 for a 1 gallon plant at Annie's). Some sources recommend it as a houseplant, not so much because it is particularly well-suited, but because of claims like this (quoting from the SF Botanical Garden/Strybing blurb): "Does not tolerate heat and will die back to the ground if it is exposed to 80 degree temperatures for 3 days or more." It will be at least a few weeks before I can try to propagate the plant. The little guy in the pot is a mature sized Gunnera monoica--smaller than some others in the genus... |

Howdy Mark, I Googled pictures of your plants..very impressive. Before Googling, I had no idea plants 'mentioned above,' could be grown in containers. Do you grow variegated varieties? Although all your plants are lovely, my favorites are, Bulbine and Agapetes serpens. Thanks for the photos. Hope you continue posting more. Toni |
