As one could expect, Kahlo is the hook that show organizer Geraldine Biller uses. The famous mid-twentieth-century Mexican surrealist is seen at both the museum and the Museo. Biller, a guest curator for the traveling exhibit's originating institution, the Milwaukee Art Museum, brings an astounding breadth of knowledge and passionate interest to her topic. Among her most interesting observations: Kahlo's worldwide fame is very recent--and first developed, ironically, on this side of the border.
By the 1970s, Kahlo was an artist ripe for rediscovery. First of all, her work was already in some museum collections, owing mostly to the power of her celebrated artist husband, Mexican muralist and Marxist Diego Rivera, but also as the result of early support she received from surrealist proselytizer Andre Breton. And aside from the fact that she was already dead and had led a tragic life filled with struggle--two factors that seem too often to be the prerequisites for famous-artist status--Kahlo was a woman and a Latin American.
Thus, in addition to satisfying the romantic demands of the artist's biography, Kahlo also satisfied the political necessities of the time. Pressure was then being placed on art institutions to present more than just the work of white men. And Kahlo's paintings addressed her physical and psychic suffering, a perfect fit with the autobiographical themes being presented by feminist artists in the United States at the time. This confluence of factors has combined to make Kahlo--alone among Latin American artists--a household name in the world of contemporary art.
Included in this show is a 1936 oil and tempera on metal panel by Kahlo titled "Mis Abuelos, Mis Padres y Yo (Arbol Genealogico)." It's a creepy cartoon of her family tree that she has conceived as a retablo, a kind of traditional sacred Catholic painting prevalent in Mexico for centuries. Kahlo's version of a religious folk painting features the tortured compositions and discontinuity of scale that are her hallmarks. More closely related to the densely composed and richly detailed pictures of her husband, Rivera, is the frequently illustrated 1938 oil on masonite masterpiece "Autorretrato con Mono." The subject of this small yet powerful painting is Kahlo herself, seen in a jungle setting with a monkey on her back.
Curator Biller views Kahlo's work as part of a broad surrealist movement in 1930s-to-1950s Mexico that included other women painters such as Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. Both of these internationally respected artists were concerned with rendering a dreamy state while utilizing a traditional approach to painterly technique. Also, both Carrington and Varo were immigrants from Europe.
Carrington studied in Italy and France and worked with Modernist painter Amedee Ozenfant in her native England before coming to Mexico in 1942 to escape World War II. And like Kahlo, Carrington enjoyed the early and continued support of Breton. In a 1947 oil on canvas, "The Temptation of Saint Anthony," the influence of Flemish medieval painting, which Carrington had been exposed to when she was a schoolgirl in Florence, is easy to see. But Carrington adds to the tradition by subtly introducing fantastic elements, such as the three faces she's given the saint.
Varo, who was born in Spain, studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid in the 1930s, becoming one of that institution's first female students. In the late '30s she went to Paris, where she became involved with the surrealist movement. Fleeing war-torn Europe in 1941, she settled in Mexico City. Later Varo became involved with many other exiled artists, including Carrington, who became her close friend. The exquisite "El Flautista," a 1955 oil on masonite, has a bejeweled quality created by the inclusion of inlaid mother of pearl and the use of metallic paints. And although rocks float through the air and a ruined tower has been "restored" with mechanically drawn lines, Varo's effect is more clearly associated with magic realism than with surrealism.
The social realism associated with the Mexican mural tradition is the chief concern of two other artists active at mid-century in Mexico City: the native-born Mar�a Izquierdo, and Olga Costa, who emigrated from Germany as a child. Both attended the School of the Plastic Arts (Izquierdo in the 1930s, Costa in the 1940s) at a time when the faculty included renowned artists Rivera, Rufino Tamayo and Carlos Merida. Izquierdo's 1943 oil on canvas "Altar de Dolores" is a vibrantly colored view of a home altar set for Good Friday. The still life has a flattened perspective, and the objects depicted have been executed in a conventionalized, cartoon-like way. Costa takes a distinctly different approach. Her colors are toned way down in an oil on canvas from 1950, "Nina Con Sandalias." A little girl, full and fleshy in a pink dress, sits in a luxurious garden and shows off her new gray sandals.

A few months ago I purchased some flytrap, sundew and purple pitcher seeds for a 7 gal. glass water bottle terrarium with about a 2.5" opening at the top. Its the kind you would find inverted on a modern water cooler accept, made of old think glass. The sundew and flytrap seeds have started growing nicely but no sign of the purple pitchers yet. The plants get about 2.5 hours of direct midday sun from a southern exposure. Soil is wet and has only required one watering. The bottle sits in a room with a ceiling fan that is always on low.
Thanks, Scott |

Hi Scott, I think you are in the right direction. Air flow is what is going to help your situation. Larry |
Pitcher plant seeds need stratification. They won't germinate without a cold/wet period. VFTs need full sun all day. You can't do that in a bottle. I'm afraid you are going to end up with just the Drosera if you get the air circulating. A spray of hydrogen peroxide will kill the mold but that's just a temporary fix. |
You are quite correct that stagnant, moist conditions provide an environment conducive to fungal growth. However, with that size opening, you have negligable odds of getting any kind of real air circulation in play inside the bottle. You would need to have a fan INSIDE the bottle. Taz is quite correct that you will not be able to give the vfts the light they need in that bottle without cooking them. Also, pitcher plants (I'm assuming you have some sort of Sarracenia) also require a great deal of full sun. Again, you will not be able to provide enough with your bottle garden w/o causing it to overheat. Because bottle gardens cannot be supplied with a great deal of direct sun/very strong light and the inherent stagnant air issues, plants like mosses and ferns that enjoy those very conditions are often used for bottle gardens. |

Will like to request opinion/advice on reasonably affordable, yet quality furniture in MA.
I need almost everything. 10 years out of college, time to stop living like a student! Jordans/cratenbarrel prices seem okay. But is the quality decent? Example - will they break in 8 years, scratch easily, or will the drawers not close? I've also seen cabot house store, but their prices are too unaffordable. Specifically, looking for:
What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would start with estate sale. Check the want ads under antiques or estate sales or household or just furniture. There are amazing buys out there....and very often very very good quality stuff. When you have to have everything all at once it can be daunting, and often when you go to an auction or tag sale it allows you to say...Oh this will tide me over until I find something better..And sometimes you learn to really love the hunt. Linda c |
Ty I've been to bedroom furniture online link, not bad. Which brand is better, or are they all good? Also, should I find a designer to decorate the whole house or diy? Thanks! |

Be aware that there are a number of people here who wait for questions, then post a promotion to their own web site (that is against the forum rules, BTW). It may appear you are getting helpful advice from a satisfied customer. Often not. You are getting pitched by people who not only have a less than unbiased opinion but also a vested interest in promoting their wares. Isn't it strange that the same person always directs you to the same site? Consider that if they are doing this deceptive and unethical promotion, how ethical they are going to be in a transaction buying from them? |
So Bobsmyuncle, safe to assume no affiliation to http://www.mybobs.com/ ?? |

LOL. No association what-so-ever. I am a sole proprietor running an independent furniture repair business. I started this business after nearly 30 years of serious hobby and semi-professional woodworking (There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' -- Dave Barry) My handle comes from a British expression, see link. I never promote my business here and I think anyone would be hard pressed to find out what it is. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bob's your uncle.
Ok, so back to the original question... We're in Boston area/Northshore, and also purchasing furniture for a whole house. We've been to them all... Basically, I think Jordan's is the best be to get a good lay-of-the-land. They have a huge in-store selection and the furniture is generally good, middle of the road quality: not too cheap (i.e., Bob's, Ashley furniture) and not ridiculously priced (i.e., Cabothouse/Thomasville). The key to shopping Jordans is looking for the solid-wood stuff (i.e., we bought stuff made by Kincaid 10 years ago from there, and it's still holding up perfect) and trying to buy American-made whenever possible. You can also try craigslist, especially for the dining room - just go look, the site is cluttered with options. Going that route will allow you to comfortably afford Thomasville, Lexington & Ethan Allen, at "used" prices. Just got to make sure the wear isn't too bad. |
How about Boston Interiors? Bernie and Phyl's? |

Rosie Fights the Twisted Wind
One of my best buddies from high school, Tad Troilo, happens to be exceptionally talented. He's a brilliant musician, songwriter, playwright and now, children's author. You can buy his first book at local booksellers, online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or by clicking on the book cover to the left and the good folks at Bookpeople will set you up. You can also follow him on Facebook at Rosie Fights the Twisted Wind.
Pretend All Your Life
As it turns out, there was another author in my high school, but back then he was more famous as a soccer player. We always knew he had a book in him. Joe Mackin's debut novel, Pretend All Your Life, is getting rave reviews and I happen to love it. You can read more about Joe and order his book by clicking the link below.
The Kite Runner
So the first 199 pages are excellent. At page 200 it starts growing into possibly the best novel I have ever read.
The Girls of Summer
Remember the summer of '99 when Mia Fever was running rampant, everyone wanted two fillings, and Brandi Chastain's sports bra was on the cover of virtually every magazine on the planet? Longman cleverly weaves the story of that championship match into the remarkable history of the U.S. Women's National Team, from its most humble beginnings in the early 1980s to its apex moment of defeating China in front of over 100,000 fans in the Rose Bowl. It's a flat-out awesome book! I am such a fan that in 2001 I ordered 20 copies from Amazon and handed them out to my team as mandatory reading. (In case you're wondering, that was the same year that Embry-Riddle won its first conference and regional championships. Just sayin'.) If it was up to me, this book would be required reading for every player who shows up at college expecting her free pair of boots and four sets of training gear. Everything our players now have can be traced back to the struggles of our country's very best players when no one was paying attention.

[1542] Plasma Cell Myeloma: Correlation of Immunophenotype and Genetic Profile in 174 Patients
Reza Setoodeh, Lynn Moscinski, Saqib Razzaque, Mojdeh Naghashpour. University of South Florida, Tampa, FL; Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL
Background: Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is a bone marrow-based neoplasm of plasma cells associated with a monoclonal protein in serum and/or urine, accounting for 10-15% of hematopoietic neoplasms. The wide spectrum of clinical features and variable survival rate ranging from less than 6 months to more than 10 years demonstrates the heterogenous nature of PCM. Among well recognized poor prognostic factors are genetic abnormalities detected by cytogenetic and/or FISH analyses, which include del 13q, t(4;14), t(4;16), t(4;20), and del 17p/T53. Although flow cytometry (FC) is useful in diagnosis of PCM, characterizing the immunophenotypic profile of neoplastic plasma cells, little data is available regarding the association of immunophenotypic and genetic profile of malignant cells. This study examines potential association of aberrant antigen expression, CD56 (a neural cell adhesion molecule) and/or CD117 (a tyrosine kinase receptor) and genetic abnormalities in PCM.
Design: Cases of PCM reviewed between 03/2009 and 03/2011 were retrieved from Moffitt Cancer Center electronic database. Genetic abnormalities of malignant cells and aberrant expression of CD56 and CD117 detected respectively by FISH analysis and flow cytometry were reviewed and analyzed.
Results: Among our 174 cases of PCM, flow cytometry revealed aberrant expression of CD56 in 120 cases (120/174; 70%) and CD117 in 79 patients (79/174; 45%), with co-expression in 61 cases (61/174; 35%). Thirty six cases lacked expression of CD56 and CD117 (36/174; 21%). FISH analysis, using a myeloma-specific panel of probes was performed which identified genetic aberrancies in 124 cases (124/174; 71%), although fifty cases (50/174) showed no abnormalities by conventional karyotyping. 59% of CD117 expressing and 77% of CD117 negative myelomas revealed at least one of poor prognostic molecular changes: del 13q, t(4;14), t(4;16), t(4;20), and del 17p/T53.
Conclusions: The majority (79%) of PCM cases in our study, showed aberrant expression of CD56 and/or CD117. By flow cytometry 69% of cases were CD56 (+)ve, 45% showed positivity for CD117, and 35% revealed co-expression of these antigens. Lack of CD117 expression is found to be associated with a higher rate of poor prognostic molecular abnormalities detected by FISH analysis, 77% compared 59% in CD117 expressing cases. More studies are required to further elucidate the clinical significance of these findings.

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Reconcile, Divorce Is Off
AJ McCarron can let Katherine Webb accept Kobe Bryant's invitation to the Lakers game because he has ended the divorce procedure and will reconcile with his wife Vanessa Bryant.
In December of 2011 Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce after discovering that the super star athlete had been cheating on her once more, but the divorce process never advanced and by Valentine's Day the couple was seen on live television kissing during a basketball match in California.
Vanessa who has two daughters Natalia, nine, and Gianna, six, with Kobe took the Instagram to announce that they have decided to get back together.
The former dancer wrote:
'We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled. Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together.'
Kobe was 21-years-old when he met Vanessa, then 17 – the pair got married in April of 2001 without a prenup which would explain why he was so eager to stop the divorce in order to avoid the lost of half of his fortune.

In recent weeks, several alerts focusing on Impatiens Downy Mildew (Plasmopara obducens), an oomycete, or water mold disease, which is related to the pathogen commonly referred to as late blight of tomatoes and potatoes, have been circulating among Extension educators across the Northeast. Fortunately, Impatiens Downy Mildew (IDM) strikes garden impatiens and little else.
IDM is a destructive foliar disease, defined by a somewhat velvety growth of fine white spores, visible only on the underside of infected leaves, which often curl under, turn yellow, and drop from the plant. It can take as long as two weeks for the spores to become visible, so plants can appear healthy even after they have become diseased.
Flowers will drop, too, until eventually the flourishing mounds of rich green foliage and colorful blossoms have been reduced to small bunches of anemic buds and sickly yellow leaves hanging at the tips of unadorned stems. Sooner or later, the plant dies.
In the United States, IDM has existed in the wild since the late 1800s but, until this century, because it had never been seen in production markets, it had been considered more or less non-threatening. During the last decade, however, IDM has somehow transformed into a devastatingly aggressive and widespread bedding-plant disease.
The disease first appeared in England in 2003, with no prior history in that country. The following year, limited outbreaks were observed in the United States.
In 2008, occurrences were confirmed in several eastern states. Reports continued in 2009 and 2010, but remained sporadic until 2011 when outbreaks were unexpectedly verified in landscape and container plantings in California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Massachusetts and New York.
Last year, outbreaks of IDM suddenly became extraordinarily widespread. Plant pathologists confirmed its existence in 33 states, including Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, in every state on the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida, in and every state on the eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine, including the District of Columbia. The disease has also been confirmed in other European countries, Australia and South Africa.
Because some downy mildews can be transmitted through seed, it is important to note that there is currently no evidence of seedborne transmission of IDM. Unfortunately, however, the IDM pathogen is able to survive the winter in soil. So, if you had impatiens affected with IDM last year, it is almost certain that inoculum living in your garden soil will infect healthy plants introduced into those garden beds this year. Alas, it will most likely be years before you can safely plant walleriana varieties of impatiens in your garden again.
What's more, even if you did not see the disease last year, the safety of impatiens planted in your garden this year is not assured. Winds can carry the spores great distances; by some accounts, more than a hundred miles.
For those of us who have come to rely on impatiens because of their proven performance in bringing an impressive variety of appealing color to shaded garden settings, this knowledge is extremely disheartening. Impatiens are a time-honored choice for gardeners of every ilk, allowing green thumbs and greenhorns alike the ability to create blankets of striking shade-garden color that lasts all season.
Because of this, impatiens have become one of the most important bedding plants the industry has to offer. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, the wholesale value of impatiens sold last year in New York alone was nearly $1.5 million.
The good news is this. Although they may host other downy mildews, no other bedding plants are reported to be hosts of IDM. Gardeners may plant shade-loving varieties of coleus, salvia, browallia, caladiums and torenia, sometimes called wishbone flower, instead. There are also varieties of New Guinea and Fanfare impatiens, as well as those sold under the registered trademark name Sunpatiens.
All are, it is believed, not susceptible to IDM. Keep in mind that all these newer varieties of hybrid impatiens, although widely recognized as reasonable performers in partial shade, are nevertheless bred for sun.

Barbara in accounting has been using a BlackBerry for years, and is still addicted to it. MaryAnne in sales uses an iPad for on-the-road presentations, but relies on her trusty Android smartphone to stay up on work email. And A.J. in IT is an early adopter—it's hard to keep up with what's in his pocket. Workers from any organization can relate to any of the above. Why? Our preferences are different, our options are of the many, and we've acknowledged that smartphones and tablets bring advantages to the workplace.
Let's not forget about device management, though. Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) poses most IT directors the challenge of securing a large range of devices without taking on a finanical burden. This is particularly troublesome for IT managers who issued BlackBerrys to employees for years and up until now have largely depended on a BES server to manage them.
Although the enterprise device environment has grown and diversified, new devices can be accomodated for without squeezing your budget dry. A recent InfoWorld article provided some good advice on how to craft a cost-effective BYOD plan.
Plan for BYOD in one-two-three
InfoWorld highlighted three basic guidelines for a objective-driven, cost-effective BYOD plan:
- Everybody's invited: any IT strategy should support as many devices as possible
- Don't boil the ocean: assess only risks applicable to your organization
- Keep it simple: don't exaggerate on exisiting problems (or worse, create new ones)
InfoWorld article stressed the big picture when it comes to technology: consider the total cost of ownership. Organizations that choose less expensive solutions that lack support capabilities for some devices may end up spending more in the long run, especially if the enterprise grows and needs to support a new device or devices. Businesses may face compliance violations and lower network security overall if unsupported devices come on the network. InfoWorld said it is best to simplify IT management by choosing a common solution to be used with all platforms.
InfoWorld's other two points focus on ensuring the features of a chosen solution are a good fit for a business. IT managers can reduce the risk of taking on excessive costs by first outlining the features that are most important for the business and looking at MDM solutions to fill those needs. The flexibility offered by Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions provide a unique advantage in this area—allowing IT to pay for what it needs during initial deployment. Capacity and features can be added as the business grows or demands change, with pricing that scales along the way.
Meeting business objectives with MDM
The benefits of supporting diverse devices might also extend to human resources. There has been significant buzz regarding the attitude of younger workers, who may be technologically savvy and have strong preferences as to what mobile devices they prefer. According to a recent ZDNet article, embracing BYOD is crucial to attracting new talent. While it is important for organizations to respond to the needs of their employees, they must do so in balance with their pursuit to achieve business goals.
An eWeek article highlighted the value of meeting employee demands with BYOD, but took a more balanced view of the issue. The benefits of enhanced employee productivity and a mobile workforce don't negate the need to address security issues. Flexible MDM solutions allow companies to respond to employee needs while still adding value to the business. By supporting the growing diversity of devices and platforms, organizations gain the benefits of a mobile workforce without excessive costs to manage personal devices—keeping Barbara, MaryAnne, A.J. and the spring chickens of the team equally satisfied.

One of the best parts about United is their stopover and open-jaw rules combined with their awesome search engine. They have one of the most complete Star Alliance award search engines. Plus, it has the ability to search and book multiple-destinations and multiple stops all online.
There are two advantages to being able to do this online. The first and most obvious one is the simple ability to search. For a lot of people, it's a good way to learn what a legal stopover routing is. The second is simply to avoid the $25 phone booking fee. Personally, it's just fun to search online. Odd?
Searching is easy. Just go to United.com and check "Award Travel," then click "Multiple Destinations"
Let's just plan a hypothetical trip from Chicago to Europe. Let's see London, Paris and Rome. The best way to do this might be to make London/Paris our stopover and Rome our destination. London to Paris will be the "open-jaw" part of the trip, as an open-jaw is essentially the part of the ticket in which you are responsible for your own transportation. The nice thing here is that you can add the open-jaw to a stopover or a destination, or both. In this case we'll make London/Paris our stopover and an open-jaw.
It will look like this:
Next we simply have to pick the dates and enter them into the Multiple Destination search. It's hopefully pretty straight forward. In our hypothetical case, it will look like this:
Remember a few things:
- Stopovers and destinations can be as long as you want. You don't need to follow a similar timeline to what I've just laid out.
- You are responsible for getting from London to Paris. Take the train, Ryanair, or whatever you'd like, but United is allowing you to leave a gap in that ticket (again, called an "open-jaw").
- Make sure "Award" is checked before you hit search.
- Stopovers, if done correctly, do not add any extra costs to the ticket. The price in miles should be the same as a roundtrip ticket to Rome. However, you do have to pay airport taxes on every airport you depart from. In this case you'll have to pay the airport taxes for Chicago, Paris and then Rome.
One thing you'll first notice about the multiple destination tool is that it does not show you the price of each seat. Instead it's waiting to price the ticket. Just select "Saver Award" for your desired class of travel, all the way through your ticket. I'm going to click the blue "Saver Award" for each leg of travel until I get to the final pricing screen.
Sometimes you may find that you're having trouble finding availability when using the Multiple-Destination tool. I actually had to change the date for the second leg of the trip. This could be because of the dates or it could be that United's system is a little glitchy. We'll talk about a few of the details of booking stopovers next. In the mean time, I encourage you to play around with the Multiple-Destination tool.
A couple take-aways or things to try:
- Add open-jaws to different parts of the ticket. An open-jaw could also be a gap between Rome and Florence. An open-jaw could be returning to New York instead of Chicago.
- I picked a fairly normal route to do a stopover, but sometimes you can touch three regions this way. For example Europe as a stopover on the way to Africa. Or you can have a stopover in your own country on the way home – like a stopover in DC on the way to Chicago.
- Despite what you would think is logical, United's system does allow you to do a fair amount of backtracking. A friend recently booked a trip to Ireland and Scotland and was surprised that the computer let him route through Frankfurt three times on one ticket.
But baby steps first. Just see if you can add a stopover to a desired trip and get it to price correctly. Here is United's award chart. Check and make sure that your final price is the same as a roundtrip between those regions would be. Again, we'll talk about better ways to check for award availability next.

Hello All. I am new here as of today so excuse me if this has been posted elsewhere.
I have a lot of white nylon clothes that are starting to grey in the wash. I also have a lot of polyester/cotton blend shirts that are also graying. I have always followed the label (wash in cold, no bleach, dry low, remove promptly, low iron etc.) but they still are grey. I have tried many detergents including Tide, Purex, Arm & Hammer, Gain and Cheer to no avail. I never use any additives because they are so delicate and wonder if there is a way to get them white again. My washing machine is European (I live in England) and can do a full wash up to 95C/205F. I would never wash this hot on nylon, but do i have to use a higher temperature to get them clean? Any Help Much appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you sorting your whites from the colors? Synthetic fibers pick up color very easily, especially Nylon. Nylon that is sturdily constructed can also take hot washes, up to 140 (60C). If you are indeed sorting, then it is possible that your white nylons are gray because of body soil that is not being shifted out of clothing due to cold washes. |
Have you tried an oxygen bleach with the detergents? Even when I use a detergent that claims to have oxi-bleach, I have to add more in order to keep the white clothes 'white'. Otherwise, our whites get rather grey. I have some synthetic sports garments that, in spite of my best efforts, insist on remaining grey. :-p Nylon and poly should not shrink, so there is no reason they cannot be washed in 104F (or 40C), which is a temperature that is warm enough to activate the oxygen bleach so that it will work. |
Thanks for your quick responses. @Miele1966. I always sort the whites and colours, and the only things that go in are pure white - the whites with logos etc. on go in with the lights - and they are all fine. I will try a hot wash @Cavimum. I will get some vanish Oxi-powder at the shop tomorrow (Uk equivalent of oxi-clean) I will use a 60C wash as well |
Tried the 60C wash with oxi-action today. It made a small difference, but they still look dull. I don't want to wash any hotter than 60C, as I'm afraid of scorching fabrics. Any other ideas? |
It took a while for the grayness to develop so likely will take more than one "power wash" to have an appreciable impact on clearing the problem. |
I second what Dadoes said. A long soak, with hot water, and a hefty dose of good enzyme detergent might make that happen faster. Then re-wash and rinse thoroughly. Try borax, too, if you can get it. |
OP, I would be reluctant to wash synthetic fabric, or cotton/synthetic blend, in hot water. I might try a long soak in warm or cool water, and oxi might help you with that. A lot of people prefer hydroxen peroxide for use on white clothes in warm or cool water. It is very inexpensive too. |
I will try washing in Hydrogen Peroxide. How much should I use. My machine is small (6kg, so about 2 cu.ft) It is a front loader. I bought some UK Persil and tried that, it made a small difference but not exactly ground breaking. The labels suggest that non-chlorine bleach can be used too. I will try the HP first though. Thanks all again for your helpful advice! |
if they are already gray, it may too late to make them white again. when you buy new clothes, try oxi-clean (or similar) powder along with a good detergent, in EVERY wash load for your whites. I've got all sorts of white clothes, socks, etc that are pristinely white because I use oxi-clean along with a good detergent. good luck!! |
Try about a 1/4 of a cup of the Peroxide, along with your normal dose of good detergent. The warmer the water, the better, but not necessarily 140 degrees. Again, it will most likely take numerous washes to release all of the grayness. I do laundry for my aunt, who has tons of nylon and other synthetic materials. Over the past year or so, I have managed to get them all white again, after years and years of cold/cool washes and cheap detergent. It will take time, patience, and trial and error. If you truly love the garments, then it is worth the time and effort, IMHO. |
No remedy is guaranteed. I've got some white athletic socks that are terminally dingy. Sometimes the graying is permanent. Good luck! |
Thanks all for your help. I've solved the problem. The clothes don't look new but they are much better and it should get better over time. Here's what I had to do 1. Prewash in warm 104F/40C water with a full dose of detergent and 1 scoop of oxi-clean 2. Wash in hot 140F/60C water with 0.5 cup Hydrogen Peroxide and a regular dose of detergent 3. As many extra rinses as your washing machine will allow. 4.Hang-dry the items, then run them in an air only cycle in your dryer for about 10 minutes to soften them up. Once again thank you very much |

Summary: Have some1080/50p 60p AVCHD from Canon XA25 but got error when importing to Final Cut Pro? In this article, we quickly walk you through the most effective way for getting Canon XA25 footage into FCP 6, 7 and X.

Ever have experienced Canon XA25, the top professional HD Camcorder? With it, you can record Full HD .mts clips at 1080/60p or 50p mode. While enjoying the stunning HD image quality, many folks are having problems when importing Canon XA25 60p/50p AVCHD footage to Final Cut Pro 6/7 (even with the latest FCP X). If you're in such a situation, you can read on the article to learn more, which mainly shows you how to get Canon XA25 1080 50P/60P footage and FCP 6/7/X to work beautifully.

The basic reason why you can't successfully ingest those recorded AVCHD footages on 1080 60P/50P format to Final Cut Pro is limited by the FCP itself. Currently 1080/60p or 1080/50p footage is a very non-standard format and it's unsupported in FCP 6/7 even the latest FCP X. In order to import Canon XA25 AVCHD footage into FCP for smoothly editing, you can use 3rd-party software to re-wrap and convert Canon XA25 60p/50p MTS to ProRes encoded mov format first, which is a native format for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X. It's a great way to achieve your goal smoothly. For this purpose, this article will show you how to transcode Canon XA25 AVCHD Footage to ProRes MOV in detail.

Converting Canon XA25 60p/50p AVCHD to Apple ProRes MOV for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X

Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac is the best Mac Canon AVCHD to FCP Converter I choose. Fast convert AVCHD .mts from Canon XA25 tom Apple ProRes .mov files, which will fast import into Final Cut Pro project. As for video quality, at least I cannot distinguish any loss by naked eyes. And this top AVCHD to FCP Converter for Mac can also help you convert AVCHD recordings to AIC for iMovie/FCE, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere, DNxHD for Avid Media Composer, etc.

Step 1: Load original MTS files

Launch the MTS to ProRes Converter, and click the "Add" button to load the .mts videos. You can also use the drag-and-drop method to load the 1080p .mts files to the application UI.

Step 2. Choose output format

Press "Format" option and navigate the mouse cursor to choose "Format > Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" as the best codec for FCP 6/7 and FCP X on Mac. The Mac AVCHD converter will transcode Canon XA25 MTS to FCP 6/7 or FCP X compatible MOV with ProRes as video codec in HD 1920×1080.

Tip: You can click "settings" button in the main interface to customize the output video's parameters, such as resolution, frame rate, etc.

Step 3: Edit the 1080 60P/50P MTS video

By clicking "Edit" button, you can trim, crop the video, or add watermark, subtitles and adjust effect to the videos which you will convert.

Step 4: Start converting

Click the "Convert" icon under the preview window, and the Mac MTS to ProRes Converter will start transcoding Canon XA25 1080p 50p/60p MTS to Prores MOV for FCP(X) on Mac.

After the conversion, click the "Open" button to locate converted files, then load ProRes .MOV files in FCP (X). Now you can successfully and easily import Canon XA25 1080 60p/50p MTS footage to FCP 6/7 or FCP X for editing with best quality.

I thought banks would have learned that lesson after the 2008 fiasco, but it seems i was wrong. As the bank of england continue to keep interest rates artificially far too low. thus encourage people (maily first time buyers) to borrow money they cant repay when the interest rate finally does rise (and rise it will), whilst at the same time keeping houses out of peoples affordable price range.
The price of houses should have crashed through the roof (no pun intended) back then, but they have been artificially propped up by both government and banks. I can say that as a person who bought in early 2008, and am now trying to sell, so it would have cost me a fortune. But it would have been my own stupid fault for buying an overpriced house in the first place, so i would have to take my medicine) - 8:16 am

Best Power Lunch Denver 2004 - The Capital Grille
Readers' Choice: The Palm
More deals per square inch are made in this place than anywhere else in the city. One reason, of course, is that the Capital Grille is so crowded. Amid the dark wood, red leather, polished mirrors and trophy heads, business is taken care of, futures are made and broken, and -- through it all -- a fantastic lunch is served. The Grille specializes in steaks, but the menu is also full of classic steakhouse extras. There are burgers, including one made of lobster and crab; half-chickens roasted on the bone; great mashed potatoes; shrimp cocktails; and the best lobster bisque in the city, all doled out by a staff of waitresses, managers and floormen who are second to none. If you consider yourself one of the city's power elite, you'd better put a few Grille lunches in your Blackberry, because that's where business is getting done these days. And if you don't, you might want to spend your next lunch hour polishing up that resumé.

Time-Lapse of the Milky Way over Hawaii

Time-lapse photography and the night sky (sans light pollution) sure go beautifully together.

U.S. and WHO Agreement to Help Prevent Global Public Health Risks

HHS Task Force Releases Recommendations on Health Text Messaging
A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services task force released recommendations yesterday on using text messaging to convey health information. The recommendations include development of HHS-sponsored health text message libraries, creating partnerships to develop and disseminate health text messages, and integration of health text messaging with other HHS health information technology priorities such as electronic health records, cloud computing and health games.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has proposed a regulation that would require airlines to make their websites and airport kiosks accessible to individuals with disabilities. While currently people with disabilities can get assistance using these technologies as well as fee waivers, if necessary, on telephone reservations, the new rule will increase the opportunity for disabled individuals to use the technologies independently.

I like making/decorating stepping stones from concrete but don't like that dull gray color. Can I add paint to the concrete before it dries? If so what kind of paint? Has anyone out there tried it and what kind of luck have you had with it? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
See "Stepping Stone Recipe" post, the next one down. The recipe that was given to me stated that you could add latex paint to the concrete mix. The lady who gave me the recipe said it was a good way to get rid of leftover paint. |
to be latex? or would any paint do? |
I would use up any paint that cleans up with soap and water (acrylic latex, latex). I would not use oil-based paint in a stepping stone mix. |

Catfish Mazda Miata conversion debuts at SEMA 2012 [w/video]
The Mazda Miata has been a popular platform for male nurses and bored housewives since 1990. It's generally not a car that most of us have on the top of our list when we think of our next new toy car. When roadster comes to mind, we tend to picture things like, AC Cobra Honda S2000, BMW Z4 or if you're going to get un-technical, Lotus, anything.
In stock form, the Miata does not tend to bring out the healthy doses of manly/she-manly giggles that should be the requirement when choosing a roadster. Since the mid 90's, companies such as Monster Miata have cropped up to do their best change our mind. So, what does Catfiish have to say about it? Read on and find out.
They set out to transform a run of the mill roadster (albeit the worlds best selling one) that does what it was designed to very well into a Speedster. The Catfish may be based on an MX-5 Miata but the finished product does not resemble one at all. Much of the Miata's parts have been replaced by Catfish, including a new hood, trunk, doors, bumpers, and a top and convertible frame. The Catfish Speedster will be offered with a standard 1.6 litre engine or a 1.8 litre NB Rotrex with over 260hp, but for customers who want a little more push, Bauer will also be offering an LS2 V8 engine. Peep these specs and check out our gallery from it's unveiling at SEMA, 2012.

Profanity filters, homophobic slurs, and Blizzard's shaky relationship with the LGBT community {WoW}
Jan 25th 2012 1:33PM As a gay player, I do have to say that I encounter this situation more times than I would like in WoW. Especially in pugs, when someone calls another player (myself or otherwise) a "fag", I make a point of saying I'm gay and that I don't appreciate the use of that word as an insult, whether it's meant to be homophobic or not. My responses are twofold - half the players amp up their use of the word, and the other half tells me to chill out and not take what they say out of context.
I say bull. Growing up with that word flung at me on a regular basis (and this was even before I hit puberty, let alone before I came out), it still hurt and the message was just as vicious then as it is today - that somehow being outside the norm, being "weak" (however you define it), by not playing to the highest skill possible, by making mistakes, that you're somehow less of a man, or even less of a person and you don't deserve to be cared about.
You may think I'm reading too much into this, or I'm overly sensitive. And truthfully I wouldn't want to live in a world that is completely PC because that does take the fun out of life. But there are some words that just should not be used in public conversation (and at this point WoW's population is indeed large enough to be considered public). Nobody would say boo when Blizzard censors racial slurs, and most players would be adverse to using them as insults even in WoW. It's a damn shame that sexual slurs aren't censored in the same manner while actual terminology for LGBT individuals is censored.
Breakfast Topic: Have you ever won the Fishing Tournament? {WoW}
Jan 21st 2012 11:46AM No, what's really unfair about the whole Fishing Tournament for me is the time they are both scheduled for. Saturday and Sunday afternoon? I've got crap to do on the weekends - if I'm not at work, then I'm cleaning around the house and being social. That's why I advocate for having at least one tournament on the weekdays - give us weekend workers a decent shot at it.
Breakfast Topic: Are you a WoW cross-dresser? {WoW}
Jan 7th 2012 1:16PM My main is a male (tauren shaman), but my alts are pretty evenly split between male and female. My two tanks (tauren pally, goblin DK) are both female because I like the idea of a strong woman at the head of the fight. My other alts (I have one of almost every class) are pretty split between male and female. And as a gay male, I'm not one to focus on character design in rolling my female toons (though I think troll females are much better looking than male trolls).
And as your remark about not knowing any man without a female alt, this is true in the West but if you go to China, it's actually an insult for a male player to have a female toon. They're called "ladyboy" - an insult saying they are a transvestite or transsexual - for rolling a female toon, so most Chinese male WoW-players actively avoid rolling female alts. Interesting, no?
WoW Rookie: How to pick a good name when all the good ones are taken {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2011 6:28PM My naming philosophy? I'm a big fan of mythology, and even though the classic "god" names are taken or unusable in WoW, there are tons of obscure deities and spirits that I can draw from. My main, Tammuz, is a tauren shaman. Tammuz in mythology is a bull-headed deity from Sumeria, the consort of Ishtar/Innana.
If the race I play is completely fictional (like orcs or draenei), I pull from fictional mythology from different games. My goblin death knight, for example, is named for a goblin "goddess" called Kikanuti, whereas my orc rogue I used to play was named for the orc DnD deity Shargaas.
Patch 4.3 PTR: Replica items bring back classic looks {WoW}
Oct 14th 2011 12:19AM I'm still hoping against hope for the 0.5 tier sets and off tier sets, particularly Ironweave Regalia, to come back, since most of the pieces to those sets are tied to now inaccessible dungeon set bosses. Please Blizzard make it happen!
The Queue: Hero class {WoW}
Aug 29th 2011 1:32PM Another Moggin' question since I haven't seen it answered: Say I like the look of an heirloom set. Can I transmog current armor to look like heirlooms?
The Queue: Dwarves! {WoW}
Jul 10th 2011 6:49PM Q for the Q: For the achievement "The Fiery Lords of Sethira's Roost", you don't get credit for the achievement unless you're in the group that tags it first, but you can help in combat and share the loot. This seems nonsensical to me. Is there any word on if Blizzard is intending to fix this so that everybody who participates in the kill, grouped or otherwise, gets credit for the kill?
The Queue: Kettlebells and personal hells {WoW}
Jun 8th 2011 12:56PM Question for the Queue:
So I like how the daily dungeon rewards count as first seven per week instead of the old "first per day" style. Can we forsee Blizzard doling out the same for battlegrounds? I'd like to be able to do all my weekly BGs in one sitting when I have the time, because most days I don't.
The Queue: Hey Minnesota Twins, let's chat for a second {WoW}
Jun 2nd 2011 11:51AM Question for the queue: I've been working on archaeology, and I've noticed something a tad odd. In the projects page there are symbols for ten races, but only nine races can be surveyed. What's the last symbol (the one by the Vrykul) stand for and how/does it become unlocked?

HELENA — A Kalispell man and political newcomer says he is going to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Max Baucus.
David Leaser said he is going to run for the Republican nomination in 2014.
The air traffic manager at Glacier Park International Airport says he believes in the principles of tea party conservatives. He moved to Montana in 2003.
State Rep. Champ Edmunds of Missoula has already announced a campaign for the seat.
Many expect U.S. Rep. Steve Daines will enter the Senate race, where he would be considered a front-runner.
On the Democratic side, political newcomer Dirk Adams of Wilsall has said he is running, although higher-profile candidates are also expected.
Baucus announced his retirement earlier this year.

Well I loved your inspiration pictures. No good suggestions for you. the shelf divider is a good one if it leaves room for the table to expand. |
I showed dh all my inspiration pictures for ceilings and he thinks we need to do a mock up to see what it will really look like. He is tired of redoing things when they don't turn out like we want, and I am afraid of making the house so weird that it will be hard to sell. I've been watching my mom do that with her house, and she doesn't see it at all. It's so much easier to see stuff like that on someone else's house that I'm doubting all my choices now. |

If you're not sure...go with the flat ceiling and the beadboard. It's a small space and you don't want to overshadow the table and chairs...the main focal point, of the room. I like your idea for the built in hutch...but the shelves, between the space will be dust catchers. The beam between the two spaces would look nice and I'd paint everything white/cream, since it is a small space and you want as much natural light, as possible. I would think country cottage with a few rustic touches. If you wanted a few beams on the ceiling, I would paint them, white wash or keep a lighter wood tone. It's nice to have some ceiling details, but it's so easy to go too far and there's no way the rest of the room can compete. I'd emphasize the china cabinet, windows and find some really pretty chairs with upholstered seats of slipcovers. A pretty, but sturdy table, some flowers and maybe some of your blue and white dishes, in the hutch. What more could you want? :) Here's a pretty picture I found the other day. It might be nice to have something like this in the dining room and another display in the kitchen, to tie the two areas together.
Is there anyway you can paint those cabinets? Maybe even just the uppers? A soft creamy yellow might be nice and it would look great with the blue, too. I know I posted this on the other thread...but I just love it!
I think you're right LL. Can't go wrong with the flat ceiling. Dh is adamant about not painting the kitchen cabinets. However, I'm having fits getting the stain to match on the old & newer ones. I'll take a picture after the latest set dries a bit and see if you see what I see. Dh also really wants to mount a tv between the china cabinets. I told him I didn't want one there, but I don't really care. When something else comes up that I really do want, I'll have something to give in on. Such a stubborn man, and once he has made a stand, he won't just give in. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Tue, Jan 31, 12 at 15:34
Paint for TV? Show him the picture...how the wood floors and chairs blend so well with the paint. Maybe some painted uppers or accent cabinets? And a little flat screen TV might not be a bad idea. It would be kind of nice to watch the news, while you're cooking dinner :) |
Paint is one of my ideas - see the cabinet photos in my new post. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 16:26
Just found this picture, on the kitchen forum. I thought of you, with the beadboard ceiling on one side, wood on the other and the beam, in between. Maybe it will help you decide what you want to do, in your space :)
LL, that picture also looks like the "dining room side" has a raised or cathedral ceiling (or is it just me?)... I think that if it doesn't cost you tons more, I would seriously consider raising the ceiling on your dining room, Marti. Since the kitchen ceiling is only 8 feet, and the kitchen is long and narrow, a higher ceiling in the dining room will give you a sense of open-ness and increased space. |
LOL, I saw that there and snagged it too. Great minds.... I sent a copy to dh too so he could see the wood raised part next to the flat part. |

Digimon Rumble Arena ( PC Game )
Digimon Rumble Arena ( PC Game )
Digimon Rumble Arena is a playstation game that is very famous in his time. Fighting games are funny and uniquely combine the two forces at once. they fought in the digital world, you can play any character, when the power is collected you can turn into a Digi Evolution, a powerful fighter to crush your opponent.
Every time you win, you will be faced with new opponents are more resilient to k to the highest level and meet the boss to fight with him, when you can beat the boss you will be rewarded a new digimon character. you can use for the next battle.
Digimon Digital Monster stands for is a franchise of Japanese media for children made in the form of anime, manga, video games, card games, toys, accessories items, and other media.
Created by a mysterious figure who was never known to the public, including its role in the creation of Akiyoshi Hongo Digimon named.
Digimon is a kind of living creature artificial intelligence program that is composed of a collection of digital data.
They have a variety of types with a variety of shapes and have the attack moves and the ability of evolution to a higher level (Digimon that can evolve back to its original shape).
They live in the digital world, a parallel world that is created from the net system of human communication and information technology.
Digimon known for his rivalry with Pokemon, other Japanese media franchise. Digimon and Pokemon have almost the same concept of the living creatures (monsters) unique to the type, shape, and moves a variety of attacks and abilities become more powerful as well as the evolution of a friendship or a partner relationship between humans and Digimon / Pokemon.
In fact, both have similar names that are meant Digimon Digital "Monster" and the Pokemon Pocket "Monster". Both appeared at the same time, the first Pokemon and Digimon followed by, so the success of Pokemon is one of the Digimon success.
Both have great success, though Digimon never enjoyed success equal to or more than Pokemon. Debates between fans of Pokemon and Digimon fans for quite some time.

11. Dishonored
Any new intellectual property published by the mighty Bethesda Softworks is bound to demand our attention, and Dishonored - developed by Arkane Studios - looks like a potential genre-buster. Gameplay-wise, it has echoes of Deus Ex and BioShock, with a heavy emphasis on stealth. You play as Corvo, once a bodyguard for the Empress, and a man with supernatural powers - and its up to you to combine those powers in imaginative ways in order to negotiate the open game-world, a city called Dunwall. Arkane Studios took inspiration from 19th-century London for this one and yep, it's another Steampunk game. But any game that lets you gain entry to inaccessible places by possessing the bodies of rats is fine by us.
12. Far Cry 3
Here's another franchise receiving a reboot and once again it'll play best as a PC game: Far Cry 3 will still be an open-world shooter, but this time with much more emphasis on storyline, and featuring non-player characters with infinitely more character than in previous games. Which means you can expect more cut-scenes, and more of an action-focused feel. The franchise's legendary lush tropical environments are present and correct (in even more glory than before). Ubisoft no doubt hopes that Far Cry 3's tweaks will bring a new, less hardcore, audience to the game, without alienating the core fans. And from what we've seen, it looks set to achieve that.
13. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
We haven't had a Ghost Recon game since 2007's GRAW 2, so Future Soldier is eagerly anticipated. And having got our hands on it, we reckon it will do the business. As ever, it's a third/first-person shooter set in the near future - with weapons technology to match - with you cast as the leader of a Ghost team of four super-soldiers. The storyline will ping around between Norway, the Middle East and Asia, and you'll be able to avail yourself of some deliciously futuristic military toys, such as optical camouflage and even a sniper rifle with heat-seeking bullets. The whole confection, as ever, will be topped off by stunning graphics, and there's no doubt that it's one of 2012's most wanted PC games.
14. Guild Wars 2
The second instalment of NCSoft's much-loved MMO is awaited with much eagerness. It moves the action forwards 250 years - and the environments into proper 3D, with a shiny new skill-based combat system and a level cap upped to 80 from 20. As with the original game, Guild Wars 2 scores heavily over competitors like World of Warcraft by not forcing you to shell out for a subscription, and its 21st-century graphics engine will at last present the world of Tyria in all its glory. With five races and eight character classes to distil into your (unique) character, it demands the attention of all dedicated MMO-players.
15. Hitman: Absolution
One of the games industry's great mysteries of modern times concerns why Io Interactive was allowed (or forced) to abandon the awesome Hitman franchise in favour of the frankly dire Kane & Lynch games. Thankfully, sanity has finally prevailed, and Agent 47 is set to return for his first outing since 2006, in Hitman: Absolution. And how we've missed the old baldy with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head. As ever, you'll be able to engage in some tasty stealth-em-upping - aided by a new Instinct mechanic, which allows Agent 47 to cash in the cumulative effect of all those and head-shots and do things like see the path patrolling enemies will take. And in something of a departure, less hardcore players will be able to take a more run-and-gun approach, though we probably won't dirty our hands with that. Typically, the story begins with Agent 47 icing his beloved handler Diana Burnwood, possibly his closest and indeed only friend, before descending into an orgy of paranoia. Welcome back, old friend.

Yes, that's right the pignoli bag is completely finished. Hooray! Finishing this bag was a group effort. My friend and knitting idol Barbara helped me with the finishing and felting process, and my fantastic hubby spent 3 days perfecting the art of riveting in order to attach the handle. I am so lucky.....I couldn't have finished this without their help.
This bag is huge. It is 22 in wide and 12 in tall. I can fit a ton of things in it, and it hugs my shoulder just right. When it is on the shoulder it forms a perfect crescent shape. The fabric is super soft and flexible, but it still holds a basic shape. The original handle was awful, and it was way too narrow to support the bag. I cut it off immediately. Thank goodness I had a great substitute available.
Here are some photos...they are not my best pics, but this bag was hard to capture.
I am very happy with the way the colors meld together. I made the gussets with chocolate brown cascade. You will be able to see the gusset a bit better in one of the other photos.
Here is a detail shot of the side of the bag. The handles are riveted on to the gussets. I stole this handle from a very expensive purse that I never used. It was a beautiful suede purse that shed like a balding cat. I was never going to use the purse, but I loved this handle. Now I can enjoy it.
I love the way the colors carry under the bag. Such a neat detail.
Here is the bag with nothing in it. The shape is so feminine. I blocked it by filling it full of towels and using clothes pins to create the creases for the tie.
Last photo I promise....I just wanted to show the shape when it's full. Plus in this shot you can see the handle a bit better. See how big!?! By the way, this is my favorite chair. It looks like an adult version of a doll house chair. So big and comfy.
Overall I would recommend this bag. It became tedious, but it was a very simple pattern. It's a great stash buster. It felted easily, and it was so easy to block. I am considering adding grommets so that the leather tie can slide easier. What do you think?

Huge flock of unclaimed chickens has Ohio neighborhood crying "fowl". Jordan Burgess reports.
(WDTN) Arby Presley added a new chore to her list recently. Feeding the chickens.
The only problem is she isn't in a barn yard, but a front yard.
"This is supposed to be the city limits, it's the outer limits," says neighbor Elizabeth Long.
For decades Presley and her neighbors have watched chickens hunt and peck their way up and down Montgomery Avenue in Fairborn, Ohio.
But recently they say the chickens aren't just crossing the road, they're crossing the line.
"It's gotten so out of control because there's so many of them," Presley says.
About 100 chickens are in the neighborhood by some estimates.
Neighbors we talked with say the chickens are destroying their property and their peace.

Absolute garbage, the only reason I own this game is because it game in the box.
Fun, but the single player is really easy, not much of a challenge, the real fun is online.
From the demo I have played of it. I love it! it reminds me a little bit of burnout meets some road racing. just a little bit though.
This game was on the Next Gen systems was truly amazing.
The crashes were of something that only one could dream of.
again with some games it have a lot of bugs, from cars blowing up after landing a jump to the bikes getting stuck in the ground.

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 Rodeo!
Facts about Rodeo
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rodeo's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Rodeo is a wonderful lab mix. He is about 5 months old and he is a fun, sweet guy. If you are looking for a new family member who will keep the "f" in fun and the "L" in love, you need to mee this awesome dog. Start the process by completing an application at www.henricohumane.org.
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rodeo, a Richmond Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

First I'd like to say.... I hope everyone is doing good. We don't have much planned for the holidays, son is going out of town and daughter and kids haven't gotten with me what's going on with them. DH said we should go have dinner with dad on Thanksgiving and I'm thinking why not. I love having family over the more the merrier but I can't cook dinners like I use to.
Maybe I can get the clan over for Christmas. So far things have been good. Dad has complaints but they are smalls ones and I know he'll always have something that just isn't right about the home. He was cold so I went out and bought him so thicker socks, house shoes with fuzzy lambs wool inside, one long sleeve shirt and a very nice sweater. I put the sweater on him, in trying to do so he would not take off his over jacket (wind breaker type) it wasn't long before he was pulling off the sweater LOL.

Barb, sounds like you've had some pretty good visits and that your dad is adjusting little by little. I know his talking about going home is hard for you, but you're doing the best you can for both him and you. Bringing my mom to my home for the holidays is out of the question now. She just gets too confused about where she is, and that makes her afraid & agitated. Last year my daughter & I joined her at the AL dining room for Thanksgiving dinner & Christmas dinner. It worked out really well. We were able to spend some time with her in familiar surroundings. Then we opened her presents in her apartment. Now she's in the memory care wing, but I think they'll have a similar set up. Thanks for the update. |
