Ice-Watch will launch its first
« Swiss Made » watch
For several years, we have looked at ways of combining the creativity and purity of the Ice-Watch design with the extraordinary quality of 'Swiss Made' movement. The Ice-Swiss watches are the culmination of our continuous quest for excellence and our pursuit of perfection.
We relied on professional designers to finalise this new line's identity, working with the German 'Dreimann' studio and relying on the technical expertise of Gabriel Guidi (CPL Design). Studio Dreimann has previously collaborated with the Ice-Watch brand for the design of the successful ICE collection in 2012. (The ICE is a minimalist model made in one piece from the case to the wristband).
The first collection comprises 42 models and is based on two different designs. There are watches for men and women, a few chronographs, threehand watches and the models come in various sizes, from 32 mm to 45 mm. The first design is rounded, with a curved glass that is reminiscent of a vintage pocket watch. The second design is sleeker but is equally classy. The idea behind the design was to create a new watch brand that embodies authenticity and inspires memories and emotions.
As a mark of quality, the Swiss Cross Cut of Swarovski Zirconia will also be inlaid in the warranty card of this 100% Swiss Made watch. The meticulously cut and facetted stone highlights the subtle and discrete silhouette of the 'Swiss Cross' epitomising the values of purity, excellence, originality and uniqueness. The Ice-Watch brand holds the exclusive rights to the Swiss Cross Cut.
Combining raw materials and muted colours for interesting contrasts, the stylish Ice-Swiss watches are expected to retail at prices ranging from €290 to €490.
The launch will take place soon.

Eric Prydz' Essential Mix has already been called a contender for the best of the year. Contained in that mix was Cory Lasser's beast "Cypher." With a healthy dose of progressive, the track premiering on Prydz' Essential Mix was a shock to Cory. He spoke to Dancing Astronaut about it during his feature for their "Stargazers" series:
I didn't hear anything for a while and assumed it was lost in the millions of tracks he must have been sent. Then one Friday night as I was going out, I noticed a small uptick in my SoundCloud play counts. So I checked the "Epic Radio" podcasts, and he hadn't posted one in a couple of weeks. My name was nowhere to be found, so I thought nothing of it. The next morning while on Dancing Astronaut I stumbled on the first article about his 2013 Essential Mix and how it was trending on Twitter. I scrolled down and saw my track and my name, and I just about lost it. I was screaming "holy shit" repeatedly to myself in my apartment and thinking that there must have been some sort of mistake. So I checked the BBC site and confirmed it. But to this day, I still can't believe it.
Quite the beginning for the neophyte, right? Check out the full feature for more on Lasser here and peep the track below.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 What then shall we say [that] Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has found? | 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? |
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. | 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about--but not before God. |
3 For what does the scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness." | 3 What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." |
4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited according to grace, but according to his due. | 4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. |
5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness, | 5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. |
6 just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: | 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: |
7 "Blessed [are they] whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins are covered over. | 7 "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. |
8 Blessed [is] the person against whom the Lord will never count sin." | 8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him." |
9 Therefore, [is] this blessing for {those who are circumcised}, or also for {those who are uncircumcised}? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness." | 9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. |
10 How then was it credited? [While he] was {circumcised} or {uncircumcised}? Not {while circumcised} but {while uncircumcised}! | 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! |
11 And he received the sign of circumcision [as] a seal of the righteousness by faith which [he had] {while uncircumcised}, so that he could be the father of all who believe {although they are uncircumcised}, so that righteousness could be credited to them, | 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. |
12 and the father {of those who are circumcised} to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham {which he had while uncircumcised}. | 12 And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised. |
13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, [that] he would be heir of the world, [was] not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith. | 13 It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. |
14 For if those of the law [are] heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified. | 14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, |
15 For the law produces wrath, but where [there] is no law, neither [is there] transgression. | 15 because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. |
16 Because of this, [it is] by faith, in order that [it may be] according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all | 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. |
17 (just as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations") before God, in whom he believed, the one who makes the dead alive and who calls the things that are not as [though] they are, | 17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. |
18 who against hope believed in hope, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said, "so will your descendants be." | 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." |
19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, [because he] was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb. | 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb was also dead. |
20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God | 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, |
21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do. | 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. |
22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness. | 22 This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." |
23 But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him, | 23 The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, |
24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, | 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. |
25 who was handed over on account of our trespasses, and was raised up in the interest of our justification. | 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. |

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Screenwriter to Direct Teen Comedy (Hopefully, It'll Be Set in Outer Space)
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentCall this three for three for screenwriter Chris McCoy. His screenplay for Get Back, about two obsessive Beatles fans that travel through time to stop John Lennon from ever meeting Yoko Ono, hit the Black List and was then optioned by Sidney Kimmel Entertainment. Then in 2009, another Black List script – Good Looking, about a futuristic dating service that finds a foolproof, perfect match for every person on Earth – that was then picked up by Dreamworks and Double Feature Films. Now McCoy's third Black List screenplay, 2011's Good Kids, may be the first one to actually be made into a feature film. Deadline reports that McCoy will be helming the film as a first-time director, and that Nicholas Braun (of the upcoming zombie/vampire/alien mash-up The Kitchen Sink) will star alongside Jane Levy (Evil Dead).

Power Consumption
We used the WattsUp? Pro meter in these tests. This allowed us to measure power use directly from the wall. This meter also uses a USB cable to connect to a computer and Logger Pro software to graph the readings while we run our tests.
To test total system power use, we used AIDA64 Stability test to load the CPU,and then recorded the results.
Here we can see the difference between single-socket and dual-socket systems. The ASRock EP2C602-2T/D16 dual-socket system can use around two and a half times more power than the other single-socket systems. Not only does this board have more CPUs but it also comes with larger amounts of RAM, which increases power use.

Bftpd 2.8: Anonymous Login Fixes and Zombie-Free
Bftpd, a simple FTP server, is available in version 2 with a number of bugfixes and enhancements.
The Bftpd project immediately addressed anonymous logins that were broken since a few releases back. The project also set anonymous logins to be disabled by default. The list command also now recognizes the -a option for viewing hidden files (if SHOW_HIDDEN_FILES was set up in the configuration file). Having several Bftpd sessions die at once also no longer creates zombie processes. The child processes are now cleaned up.
The project has made it its goal to produce an FTP server that is the easiest to install and configure. The server supports most FTP commands and can run under inetd or in standalone mode. It can also be run in a chroot environment and on read-only filesystems.
Bftpd 2.8 is under GPL as a source tarball ready for download. Mirrors are currently presenting some problems, so if the version 2.7 download should appear instead, go directly to http://bftpd.sf.net/downloads/bftpd-2.8.tar.gz.

text: Tech house producer extraordinaire Funkagenda, who was last seen running down an altercation at JFK Airport earlier this month, recently took to his Facebook page to advise his fans that due to the depression that he's suffered from over the last year has forced him to cancel his tour dates for the next few months. He says he's taking the advice of his doctors and management team to cool out; what this means is any dates before Christmas 2013 will be "reappointed." He's not falling totally off of the map, though (he's been discovering iPhone tricks and ordering augers), and plans on releasing mixes and the odd free track, as well as working on new material.

I should state right out of the chute, this was my first meeting of the EBS. I walked in not knowing what to expect or even what the meetings were about. I "did" have my own agenda in mind and that was to meet others that had experience in home brewing or knew people that did.
Now regarding the beers that were sampled: truthfully the first beer was not something i would seek out (this is only because i tend towards IPA's and Stouts...) i did enjoy it but i don't think it would be a…

"Welcome to Asian Food Store."
Eav and Sovanna Ngov own the Asian Food Store in Rochester. They've been in business for 18 years, working seven days a week,12 hour days.
"We busy all the time here," says Sovanna.
The Asian Food Store is one of several Asian grocery stores in town, but when you come here, it's more than just a store.
It's also a place that resembles a part of Cambodia -- their home.
"When you arrived here, what was different about this country?" I asked.
"One thing we have here, especially is freedom," says Eav.
The couple left a war torn country at young ages and ended up at a refugee camp where they met and were arranged to be married.
"I was 19-years-old, so I listened to my mother and my brother," says Sovanna, "he's a neighbor in Cambodia, then we get married in the camp."
The couple moved to the United States in 1989, landing in Rochester.
"When I first came to Rochester at that time, it's a small town theres only one small Cambodian owned grocery store," says Eav.
Following in his father's footsteps, Eav opened a grocery store of his own. "We need to provide all the fresh stuff that we use to eat in our country."
Sharing their culture with their community and their American-raised children. Two boys and a girl -- all old enough to now help mom and dad with the business.
"Keep us comfortable like a family," says Sovanna.
And although they rarely get time off just the two of them, when they do, it's to sin city to watch Celine Dion.
"Especially you want to be happy yourself, then you make sure that she's happy," chuckles Eav pointing to his wife, "and when mom is happy - you got a big steak dinner and if mom not happy, its MAMA instant noodle," he laughs.
And although they have their "noodle" nights, they know they've come a long way.
"Once upon a time, two strangers met together," says Eav.
Two strangers, eventually arriving in America together, still going strong.
"You have to forgive each other and learn to forgiveness and be happy and make each other happy," says Sovanna.
The Ngov's will be celebrating their 25th year as U.S citizens and their 30th wedding anniversary this July.

Karl Baden's childhood dream was to be an archaeologist. This dream was shattered upon taking his first college archaeology course. In the Fall of 1972, he took a leave from school, hitchhiked across the U.S., and traveled through Central and South America with his father's old Nikon. He has been taking and making photographs ever since. Though Baden has yet to launch his own website, a variety of his projects may be found at the gallery website of his faithful and tolerant dealer, Howard Yezerski and also at Luminous-lint.com and KBeveryday.blogspot.com.

Few things are as beautiful as a field or forest with freshly fallen snow. Wintertime in our neck of the woods is sometimes a Currier and Ives painting come to life. It is a time for Holidays, for celebrations with family and friends, for warm blankets, cozy fireplaces and of course, for feasts. Put simply, wintertime is the comfy season. So why not spend the comfy season with some delicious, comfort-foods? Meatloaf is the ultimate comfort food in my opinion. It's not fancy but it warms you up and makes you feel satisfied.
I'm always on the lookout for a good meatloaf recipe. But the trouble is most of them contain bread crumbs, powdered soup mixes or prepared sauce ingredients that I do not want to eat. The alternative was to come up with my own recipe containing only healthful ingredients. I had some trouble making full-sized meatloaves because they never seemed to hold their shape. The solution was to make meatloaf in muffin tins.
The recipe I bring you today is for paleo mini meatloaves. You could call them paleo meatloaf cupcakes if you prefer. Whatever you call them, these little meaty muffins are sure to be a hit with your family – including finicky children.
I performed the solemn duty of meatloaf tester. It was a tough job but someone had to do it.
The little morsels definitely passed muster. They reheat well which makes them great to take to work for lunch. These paleo meatloaves are so chock full of vegetables they make a meal in and of themselves. If you have picky children this might be a mechanism for getting some veggies into them without hearing objections.
Here's how I make them. Continue reading

Like everyone else, there are some places I'm more familiar with than others. For instance I know Rome better than I know Venice or Naples. And here in Rome I'm certainly more up to date on areas like Monti, Testaccio and even Monteverde, than I am with Prati or Parioli.
Parioli I can live without (sorry Parioli, but I've never had a real connection with you). But Prati is another story. Whenever I go to Prati I understand why people who live there love it. Big, tree-lined streets make it seem 'European' in a way the rest of Rome doesn't. Wide sidewalks, usually swept clean. Plenty of stores, so the shopping is good. And lots of restaurants, most of them unknown to me.
It's not that Prati is that far away, but it is just far enough that I never just wander over. But I will be wandering over more often now that I've discovered Sorpasso.
I first heard of this place from a farmer outside of Orvieto. Yes, you heard me right. Remember when I went to the goat farm last year? When I asked the owner where I could find her exquisite cheeses in Rome, so that I could make repeat versions of dishes like this, she said that the only place in Italy where they were available commercially was Sorpasso.
Stupidly it took me almost a year to make it there.
Sorpasso is a bit of everything. Up front there is a bar where you can have a coffee and pastry in the morning. To the right is a counter that sells about 12 types of prosciutto and just as many cheeses – (including the goat cheese ) all artisinaly made and just about impossible to find elsewhere.
Heading towards the back you hit the cocktail bar. Since we went for lunch, I didn't indulge, but you can bet I'll make it back for a Bourbon Sour or Brandy Crusta (yes, you read that right).
The main action goes on in the light-filled back room. Furnished in a sort of shabby chic country style, the open space – which is lit by an enormous skylight – is comfortable and welcoming.
Of course the main reason to go is the food. The menu changes daily, and seasonal produce reigns supreme. Our starter was a simple plate of string beans and potatoes which sounds boring but was anything but. It was cooked perfectly, bathed in fruity olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.
Since it was Friday there were a few fishy offerings. I had the Carpaccio di Bacala, which was thin slices of lemony cod draped over a rustic, slightly crunchy, panzanella. Domenico instead had Bacala con Patate. Cooked long and slow, it came in it's own mason jar which turns out to be not just a trendy presentation, but actually a low tech version of sous vide.
To finish, one cannolo to split. The crunchy shell was piped with super fresh ricotta minutes before it came to the table and full of dark chocolate chips.
Since the place is beyond stylish and cute, I'm sure I would have liked it no matter what. But given the fact that it was one of the best meals I've had in a long while – simple, straightforward and delicious – I liked it even more.
I admit it, I should go to Prati more often. Lunch and goat cheese shopping. What more could a girl ask for?

A Kiev art museum contains a curious icon from St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai in Israel. It shows two robed Christian saints. Between them is a traditional Roman 'pronubus' (a best man), overseeing a wedding. The pronubus is Christ. The married couple are both men.
Is the icon suggesting that a gay "wedding" is being sanctified by Christ himself? The idea seems shocking. But the full answer comes from other early Christian sources about the two men featured in the icon, St. Sergius and St. Bacchus,2 two Roman soldiers who were Christian martyrs. These two officers in the Roman army incurred the anger of Emperor Maximian when they were exposed as 'secret Christians' by refusing to enter a pagan temple. Both were sent to Syria circa 303 CE where Bacchus is thought to have died while being flogged. Sergius survived torture but was later beheaded. Legend says that Bacchus appeared to the dying Sergius as an angel, telling him to be brave because they would soon be reunited in heaven.
While the pairing of saints, particularly in the early Christian church, was not unusual, the association of these two men was regarded as particularly intimate. Severus, the Patriarch of Antioch (512 - 518 CE) explained that, "we should not separate in speech they [Sergius and Bacchus] who were joined in life". This is not a case of simple "adelphopoiia." In the definitive 10th century account of their lives, St. Sergius is openly celebrated as the "sweet companion and lover" of St. Bacchus. Sergius and Bacchus's close relationship has led many modern scholars to believe they were lovers. But the most compelling evidence for this view is that the oldest text of their martyrology, written in New Testament Greek describes them as "erastai," or "lovers". In other words, they were a male homosexual couple. Their orientation and relationship was not only acknowledged, but it was fully accepted and celebrated by the early Christian church, which was far more tolerant than it is today.
Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual.
Prof. John Boswell3, the late Chairman of Yale University's history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church liturgical documents, there were also ceremonies called the "Office of Same-Sex Union" (10th and 11th century), and the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century).
These church rites had all the symbols of a heterosexual marriage: the whole community gathered in a church, a blessing of the couple before the altar was conducted with their right hands joined, holy vows were exchanged, a priest officiatied in the taking of the Eucharist and a wedding feast for the guests was celebrated afterwards. These elements all appear in contemporary illustrations of the holy union of the Byzantine Warrior-Emperor, Basil the First (867-886 CE) and his companion John.
Such same gender Christian sanctified unions also took place in Ireland in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, as the chronicler Gerald of Wales ('Geraldus Cambrensis') recorded.
Same-sex unions in pre-modern Europe list in great detail some same gender ceremonies found in ancient church liturgical documents. One Greek 13th century rite, "Order for Solemn Same-Sex Union", invoked St. Serge and St. Bacchus, and called on God to "vouchsafe unto these, Thy servants [N and N], the grace to love one another and to abide without hate and not be the cause of scandal all the days of their lives, with the help of the Holy Mother of God, and all Thy saints". The ceremony concludes: "And they shall kiss the Holy Gospel and each other, and it shall be concluded".
Another 14th century Serbian Slavonic "Office of the Same Sex Union", uniting two men or two women, had the couple lay their right hands on the Gospel while having a crucifix placed in their left hands. After kissing the Gospel, the couple were then required to kiss each other, after which the priest, having raised up the Eucharist, would give them both communion.
Records of Christian same sex unions have been discovered in such diverse archives as those in the Vatican, in St. Petersburg, in Paris, in Istanbul and in the Sinai, covering a thousand-years from the 8th to the 18th century.
The Dominican missionary and Prior, Jacques Goar (1601-1653), includes such ceremonies in a printed collection of Greek Orthodox prayer books, "Euchologion Sive Rituale Graecorum Complectens Ritus Et Ordines Divinae Liturgiae" (Paris, 1667).
While homosexuality was technically illegal from late Roman times, homophobic writings didn't appear in Western Europe until the late 14th century. Even then, church-consecrated same sex unions continued to take place.
At St. John Lateran in Rome (traditionally the Pope's parish church) in 1578, as many as thirteen same-gender couples were joined during a high Mass and with the cooperation of the Vatican clergy, "taking communion together, using the same nuptial Scripture, after which they slept and ate together" according to a contemporary report. Another woman to woman union is recorded in Dalmatia in the 18th century.
Prof. Boswell's academic study is so well researched and documented that it poses fundamental questions for both modern church leaders and heterosexual Christians about their own modern attitudes towards homosexuality.
For the Church to ignore the evidence in its own archives would be cowardly and deceptive. The evidence convincingly shows that what the modern church claims has always been its unchanging attitude towards homosexuality is, in fact, nothing of the sort.
It proves that for the last two millennia, in parish churches and cathedrals throughout Christendom, from Ireland to Istanbul and even in the heart of Rome itself, homosexual relationships were accepted as valid expressions of a [Christian] god-given love and commitment to another person, a love that could be celebrated, honored and blessed, through the Eucharist in the name of, and in the presence of, Jesus Christ.
"... in the evening the youth came to him [Jesus], wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan." —The Secret Gospel of Mark, The Other Bible, Willis Barnstone, Editor, Harper & Row, San Francisco, 1984, pp. 339-342.

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain
Meanwhile the blessed Serge, deeply distressed and heartsick over the loss of Bacchus, wept and cried out, "No longer, brother and fellow soldier, will we chant together, 'Behold, how good an pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!' You have been unyoked from me and gone up to heaven, leaving me alone on earth, bereft, without comfort." After he uttered these things, the same night the blessed Bacchus suddenly appeared to him with a face as radiant as an angel's, wearing an officer's uniform, and spoke to him. "Why do you grieve and mourn, brother? If I have been taken up from you in body, I am still with you in the bond of union, chanting and reciting, "I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou hast enlarged my heart.' Hurry up then, yourself, brother, through beautiful and perfect confession to pursue and obtain me, when finishing the course. For the crown of justice for me is with you."

I bought a Bryon Flynt salvia in September and I was wondering if any other gardenweb member have any tips for growing this salvia. It is a hybrid of S. hispanica and S. Mexicana limelight. It supposedly gets 6 feet all and gets covered in electric blue flowers. I guess I will have to wait until next year to see what it does. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Rich_Dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 05 at 23:33
That's a pretty wild cross, considering the relative sizes of the flowers. Where did you get this plant, and what USDA Zone are you in? Hispanica is basically an annual and mexicana is hardy to USDA Zone 7 or 8. |
I want one, too! :) Brenda From Northbay.com (in CA) - Linda asks: I'm a salvia enthusiast and was told there is a new salvia on the market introduced by a local hybridizer. What do you know about its characteristics and any other information of interest? The salvia was hybridized by Dan Flynt and was named after his grandfather, Byron Flynt. It is a cross between Salvia mexicana "Limelight" and Salvia hispanica, but more vigorous than either parent. The seed comes from "Limelight," yet the foliage more closely resembles hispanica. The flower stalks are like "Limelight," but more purple like hispanica. It is more floriferous than either parent. "Byron Flynt" is tender if temperatures drop too low but it is very easy to take new cuttings from each year. This salvia is 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide and needs staking. The electric-blue flowers add a real punch to a mixed perennial border, can be a great addition to a habitat garden or part of a salvia enthusiast's collection. It has been a winner in our own gardens. Emerisa Gardens, wholesale-retail, Cottage Gardens and Western Hills carry Salvia "Byron Flynt." Check other nurseries for availability. |
I bought this salvia at Emerisa Gardens in Santa Rosa. I have the tag that indicates who developed this plant, but I was wondering if anyone has actually grown it. It is supposed to be a perennial. I live in a zone 9a in Santa Rosa. |
I have Byron Flint too, purchased either from Emerisa or Calflora last spring. These new plants are about 2' tall and are blooming now. The flowers are tiny, intense dark purple, on a spike about 6" tall. I guess I'll know next spring how winter hardy they are in my zone 9, foothills garden. |
Is there a picture of this available? |
i brought home one from Capital Nursery in Sacramento Ca. Quite lovely despite that i haven't seen its flowers yet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: myspace
Well this is hardly anything to do with Salvias! What are you thinking of? Robin. |

Good Friday, and a day off with the kids. So today was spent bike riding and doing an Easter Egg hunt. 10 miles later I think that everyone has exhausted – so pizza night was brought in tonight!
#264 – Home made pizza night
Friday night – and kids pizza and film night again. Everyone was in good spirits tonight, and I had the request that they wanted to make their own pizzas tonight. So we had a small pizza factory going on the kitchen table. All fine, except that I had forgotten that I actually had to cook 7 individual pizzas! No easy task!
Anyway, the photo of today is off my baby, Tilly making her creation. A 12″ cheese and tomato pizza with with a face made out of ham and sweetcorn! Now you can't find them on the pizza shelf in Sainsburys!
#209 – Pizza Night
It's Friday night and we have the kids this weekend, so it must be Pizza night. Off I went to a local store to stock up on the required substance. You will be glad to know that we didn't eat all of these – but we had a good go!
#14 – Pizza night
Friday night is fast becoming known as pizza night in this household now. Whilst I did start out actually making the pizza dough, that quickly moved to shop brought pizzas bases and now, this evening it's crashed to Domino's Pizza. The kids were devastated, in tears quite obviously not to be eating dad's pizza! As if!

By now, I'm sure you all have checked out our gorgeous new C. Wonder in Lenox Mall.
If not, head over immediately. It's so happy in there! (And, they serve cookies…)
The juicy deets on C. Wonder are that Chris Burch, Tory Burch's ex-husband, opened it. The playful shop is bursting with bright, super fun colors and within it you can find clothing, accessories, home decor, and serious awesomeness like roller skates. And, at a price point much lower than our beloved Tory's. (Talk about drama!!) For those who have not yet visited, here's a peek inside.
Everything at C. Wonder is adorable. Everything. But, where the store really gets me is with their whimsical + very well-priced accessories. These are a few things I've been drooling over lately…

Bodhisattva of infinite compassion and mercy, the most popular of Mahayana Buddhist deities. He is the earthly manifestation of Amitabha, guarding the world between the departure of the historical Buddha, Gautama, and the appearance of the future Buddha, Maitreya. He is the creator of the fourth world, the actual living universe. In China and Japan his gender became ambiguous; he is sometimes called a goddess. For Pure Land Buddhists, he forms a ruling triad with Amitabha and the bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta. In Tibetan Buddhism, he is thought to be reincarnated in each Dalai Lama in order to preserve buddha-teaching.

World Marathon Majors Light Up the Fall
Within the next few months, new history will surely be written in the marathon event. Three of the world's biggest cities are going see their roads taken over by some of the world's best athletes along with thousands of other runners as the World Marathon Majors 2014 season resumes. Perhaps some of you will be joining the crowd in Berlin, Chicago, or New York?
The BMW Berlin Marathon, scheduled for September 28th, is home of the past five world records at the distance. Last year, Wilson Kipsang covered the course through the German capital in an astounding 2:03:23, breaking his countryman Patrick Makau's world record by 15 seconds and cementing his name at the top of the legendary distance. With Kipsang racing in New York this year, the men's champion is sure to see a new face at the top of the podium in Berlin. That face could belong to Dennis Kimetto, the favorite who boasts the strongest personal best in the field with his 2:03:45 victory from the Chicago Marathon last year. Kimetto faces stiff competition from the likes of former Marathon Major winners Emmanuel Mutai and Tsegaye Kebede as well as the World Half Marathon Champion Geoffrey Kamworor Kipsang. With the pace always set to break the world record, this men's race in Berlin is sure to be fast and furious.
The women's race in Berlin does not have as many former major champions as the men's but is particularly interesting to Americans with Shalane Flanagan taking her first attempt at a flat fast course in a non-championship race. She will surely be targeting Deena Kastor's American Record of 2:19:36 along with her first World Marathon Major victory. She will not be alone on the German roads though as Paris Marathon champion, Feyse Tadese, and last year's Berlin runner-up Tirfi Tsegaye will be looking for the win as well.

Here is a good opinion piece from the washingtontimes.com
Late last month, Penn State climate professor Michael Mann turned to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia to sue several individuals who dared satirize his work. Mr. Mann became famous three years ago when leaked Climategate emails referenced Mr. Mann's "trick" used to "hide the decline" in global temperatures, inspiring countless parodies and scathing commentary.
They even mention Minnesotans For Global Warming:
This isn't the first time Mr. Mann has turned to the judiciary to silence critics. In 2010, Minnesotans for Global Warming produced a viral YouTube video entitled "Hide the Decline." Over 600,000 people viewed the animated likeness of Mr. Mann singing lines such as, "Michael Mann thinks he's so smart, totally inventing the hockey stick chart." The popular video was pulled after the group received a cease-and-desist letter. "My first reaction was, 'Wow, I guess I hit a nerve,'" Elmer Beauregard, the video's creator, told The Washington Times. Mr. Beauregard and his colleagues lacked the resources to mount a proper legal battle, so he is glad National Review and CEI aren't backing down.

As a theist can your life have purpose and meaning?
As a mental patient lost in a delusion can your life have purpose and meaning?
As an elephant can your life have purpose and meaning?
All of the aformentioned categories "feel" or can feel purpose and meaning. Is it less meaningful to live under false pretenses? I think so.
Ultimately purpose and meaning are meaningless. Life is but a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage. But that does not mean it cant feel like it amounts to something. On the other hand ALL THAT EFFORT FOR WHAT?
All that effort for what?
Surely you remember the Pandora's Box story, and the last thing out of the box.
That story requires no update.
Yes we have a purpose, nature give us one: Born, grow, reproduce and die. Anything else is fair game. I personally will add: "Be happy" and "Don't treat others the way you wouldn't like them to treat you", but that's just me!
Woa, your ancestors must have written the Bible, that's exactly what it says!
You are correct Write4U - theism is a dangerous illusion.
Yes, and as an Atheist we do acknowledge reality in all it's diversity.
Steph, Many minds better than mine have pondered this question. Once you get over the notion that the universe cares about us, you are confronted with pure existence: we are here, we have these bodies with their limitations, we are social beings and do things, good or bad, to or with others...and by chance some of us get to produce more (innovations, ideas) than others. But nobody gets out alive. There is no meaning or purpose to your life except what you give it. People invented gods because they were flummoxed by the foregoing facts and had no good answer. From there it was a short step to "no meaning without God." But that's backwards!

I am in the planning stages of building a new home and want to incorporate smart, efficient and cost-effective solutions into our build. I have spent hours reading blogs and information sites on various green systems- it'┐Įs all so very overwhelming! I have a good, general overview of most technologies, but I still need to get a better grasp on the "science & calculations" of everything. For example, I don'┐Įt want to install something that ends up being less than the load requirement. I have attached a copy of the current plan for reference, approximately 2500sq feet, slab- no basement, southern exposure. Building in central Saskatchewan where the temperature has recently dropped to -40*C on days, and has stayed for an extended period at -20 and below levels. Summers can also be scorching at +35*C. Geothermal/In Floor Radiant Heat- The upfront price of a full geothermal/in-floor radiant system also has some sticker shock. There are other systems I want to implement, so I don'┐Įt want to max out the budget on this. Passive House/Extreme Insulated and Air Tight Enclosure/Passive Solar Energy I am planning to build with an ICF structure for the walls; it is a building practice that is slowly becoming more common in our area. I am curious as to how the deeper window will affect the solar gain in the winter, if it will restrict it or not. I have many large south facing windows on the house, maximizing sunlight and solar energy. I want to incorporate a large overhang to completely shade the house in summer. I am still searching for a website/tool on the internet that would give calculations to use for overhang and window level based on site latitude. The northern exposure of the house will be partially blocked by the mass of the garage, and there will be smaller, more minimal windows to decrease heat loss. The lot is also across the street from a full block-sized park, with many trees that should help block cold north winter winds. I am concerned that maybe my house is a bit large and spread out to properly utilize passive solar principles. I have read that a more compact design is ideal when planning for this purpose. I do have large south windows in all rooms on that side of the house to offset that. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for brands of windows/doors to use? The only Passivhaus certified manufacturer in Canada is the Northwin and their Vision line from '┐Į'┐Į'┐Įout in British Columbia. I am going to incorporate an efficient, wood burning stove as a complementary heating source centrally located (for those days that it is -40 or cloudy). I have read that in passive houses the temperature can differ greatly between rooms several degrees. For the north facing rooms, specifically the play room/entry/kitchen this could be an issue. There are debates on certain forums of the overheating effect of passive houses. I don'┐Įt mind being an active participant in my house (ex, opening windows at night to cool off house, closing the blinds to keep the hot summer sun out, seems like common sense). Though some Passivhaus idealists would say you shouldn'┐Įt have to open your windows if you have a proper mechanical ventilation system. Smart landscaping can also reduce overheating, deciduous shades trees blocking sun/heat in summer, allowing warm solar rays in winter. The house has to breathe'┐Į.With any extremely air tight/insulated home, an air ventilation/circulation system is a must to keep clean air and deal with moisture/humidity issues. I am interested also in an ERV, with an air-to-air heat pump exchanger. Also want to use a simplified geothermal loop in a trench around the house with a water-to-air heat exchanger to heat/cool the outside air being exchanged. Though I do need to investigate more on this'┐Į It is my goal to avoid installing a natural gas line into the house. I am really hoping I can plan properly and be without the standard forced air, natural gas system that is so prevalent in our area. I think most people will think we are nuts, but they will be the ones paying ridiculous energy bills every winter while we don'┐Įt. Unfortunately the SO is also the one person I will have to convince about all my green ideas. Green/Living Roof There are a number of things to consider before I would install or proceed with this in the plan. Electricity Needs I think these on demand hot water heaters are fascinating; freeing up so much space with wall hung units, and saving power by not constantly heating and reheating water compared to a standard storage tank. I think I would have 2 separate units, one for the master bath which is further away from the rest of the plumbing, and one central to the laundry, kitchen, and second washroom. I would have to do some figuring to see if that one central heater would be enough for the load required. I don'┐Įt want to upgrade to a large gas fired one, so it could end up being a total of 3 units. I had allocated so much room to my mechanical room, but so many of these green solutions take up less space than conventional heating/cooling systems and equipment. I may end up with more of a storage room than a mechanical room. Skylights, Solar tubs Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions; I know this post was long winded, and that I am by no means an expert and may have used some terms incorrectly. I definitely will utilize expert advice before I move forward with this project. Just writing this has helped sort out all the ideas running around in my head, and I can always reference back to this thread if I happen to misplace my hardcopy. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am envious of the Passivhaus certified homes that completely rely on passive solar energy for their heat source. This is a myth. Passivhaus does not require that only passive solar energy is used. Many Passivhaus homes have heating systems, ours has a geothermal system. While your windows should be highly efficient, you don't have to only look at Passivhaus certified windows. The certification process can be expensive for the manufacturer. The manufacturer we used has Passivhaus certification on some of their lines, but not the line we used. |

Let me give you a few thoughts. We went geothermal but didn't do radiant heat...we use air ducts as we are able to use it for both heat and a/c and we use it for fresh air recirc and we have ducts near our wood stove so we can circulate the heat throughout the house. This also allowed us to use softer flooring than concrete or tile. Rather than a green roof with potential difficulties, I would opt for active solar panels which will offset the cost of electricity to run the geothermal. Sola tubes are more efficient and less likely to leak than skylights so we put them in interior spaces. Angled glass can be the problem with passive solar as it captures so much heat from the sun, it's like a furnace, yet once the sun goes down the glass leaks heat like crazy. So, IMO, the only way to do it is to devote space to heat generation as they are not comfortable places to live in. So we chose to do solar tempered with just gaining heat in the winter from the sun. We have 2 tankless hot water heaters...one for the master bath, and one for the rest of the house. Given power outages, we put in a generator large enough to run the geothermal system. |

If there is a way to get the deck to the SE corner, do it. We put a partially covered deck there and it is great. It is protected from the prevailing NW winds in the winter and it captures the sun from the south and east in the a.m. when it's cooler in the summer and protects you from the harsh summer sun from the west during the hottest part of the afternoon. We added a ceiling fan which makes it even more usable much of the year. |

Not sure, but I think I used these guys to visualize the overhang and the sun shade on our house....the trick is really late summer where you aren't ready for the heat gain yet, but on the flip side, you still want it in the spring and you don't want to make the house look crazy with too deep overhangs. Also keep in mind it matters how close the overhang is to the top of the window itself. |

We have LP gas in the house but only for the hot water heaters, the gas fireplace and the generator. For back up heat with the geothermal, there is an electric back up heat, but we have that turned off and have never needed it. We use the woodstove on a regular basis as heat supplement, and on sunny days, we gain 4 degrees in passive solar. |
I just heard that they're trying to invent solar paint for houses that would essentially serve the same purpose as solar panels but instead of having to install bulky panels you just paint your house. Interesting idea right? This isn't exactly about your house but I thought you'd be interested in this fun fact:) |
What is your climate like? Flat roofs can create problems in snowy areas...snow builds up on them, water puddles after a rainstorm. You have to compare the advantages and disadvantages of a living roof, a sloped roof with solar panels, and a sloped roof shaded by deciduous trees on the south side to cool it in the summer. You are unlikely to be able to completely go without a conventional heating system completely in Canada. What is the wind like in your area? In some areas wind turbines provides power more cheaply then solar power. |

Hi! Our team (and me :rolleyes:) have created new web analyzer http://4seohunt.com, which provides a lot of useful SEO tools. What do I need from you, my friends - leave comments, tips, advices and a bit of constructive criticism is greeted.
I like the idea behind it but i feel like it's a lot of information that wouldn't be that useful. For example you have the whois information, why would i need this for SEO? or geo location. It shows my site is located in California which is not true since we are in AZ.. etcIt would nice if there where more SEOmoz type details… Great start though keep it up!
It's really simple, which is good for something like this.
I would include a footer with some more info. I think a site should always suggest where to go next, even if it's something simple like this.
The contrast should be higher between the logo and background.
Not sure what's going on at the top of the page on the 'results' page, but it doesn't look good. The scrolling text is weird. Rendering error?
Lower on the page is a lot better. This is actually something useful for me and I'll probably use it in the future.
whois info may be used for other purposes and geo location is showed via script, which was written not by us
will take a look at this moment
Definitely a nice website, with a nice, clean layout that works well for customer experience and functionality. Though there are a couple of things that degrade customer experience, possible bugs or visual floors; The Massive header after the search with the text (4seohunt.com - a web service that lets you explore any website informations and its history, understand your competitor's website is how to operate, to help you how to optimize your website, increase your website traffic and income.) Moving to the side is very obtrusive and unclear, the text being shown is shown slowly and is thus unappealing as people tend not to wait for slow moving text and would rather move on, thus increasing web traffic bounce rate. The SEO checking tool itself works very well, it is clean, well optimised and does not have any calculation or pulling errors of information from different websites.
I would give this website a 9.5/10 for user experience as it has am amazing, simplistic design, great navigation and a wide set of Search Engine optimization information.The thing being to work on to make this absolutely perfect for user experience would be removing that annoyingly large header with the slow moving text body.
Thanks for good words.
Great Idea...with all user friendly features in home page itself to track the website with in a less span of time
We a trying to do the best
Overall the site appears fine and has some useful data. I think the site could be improved by including information to help users establish how the data is obtained and also how to improve the current figures.
Unfortunately some of the data is not accurate such as sitemap.xml and Bing showing both indexing and backward links to be zero?
Why is robots menu item not available?
robots menu is in the process of development, as for the other things - some scripts were written not by us, we've just used API. In general, we are constantly working on our mistakes and are trying to improve our site. Thanks for positive review!
awesome...i like featured on your site.. i think thats compelete...
Can anyone add some more?
You show my location as New York when actually is in California (at least close ?). Traffic shows my increase then decrease which is true but amount is different (at least it says estimate). Good idea and has some good information. May want to tell what the items mean.We all need good analyzers.-Falcon
thank you for the good words our project is rather new and that's why may have some drawbacks, but we are constantly working on its improvement.
It is very close to be an ideal website analyzer. Also it is giving a potent combination of social media as well seo parameters. You may do few enhancements like seo suggestions etc. Your total number of backlink counter is not functioning properly. Also you can add SERP Checker tool with application. A good initiative but need to produce perfect result
The age of out project is only about 2 months and we strive to improve it constantly, so everything is ahead!
Just tested the tool with a sister site we have and it doesn't show any google indexing for this site (although all others show up). Strange as the site is indexed (just double checked , and no changes from google). With this test in mind, and as good as it looks, its worth testing as users will be put off.
I actually LOVE the home page and the faintness of the logo. I would say that's first in a website of your niche. I also like the list of checks you offer because I've never seen such a vast one ever, but I am also not sure if a website like this is relevant still since there are so many of them on the web already. I would be curious to find out if there is something in this website that generates ads or revenue that I am not seeing?
Guys, as I have already said, our site's age is only 2 months and we're constantly trying to develop and improve it, so don't judge too strictly:rolleyes:! Of course it may have some drawbacks but they will be fixed soon.

2014 Scholarship Program
Livonia Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Program
High School Seniors Applications Due Friday, May 16, 2014
All applications must be received by 4 p.m. on final due date.
The Livonia Chamber of Commerce plans to hand out four (4) $1,000 scholarships in 2014. Two awards were awarded to two adult learners in February, and the other two awards will go to a high school senior, graduating from one of the five Livonia high schools, in the spring.
Eligible high school seniors must graduate in 2014 from Livonia Franklin, Churchill, Stevenson, Clarenceville, or Ladywood High School. This scholarship will be announced at an event to be named in spring 2014.
It is the intention of the Livonia Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors to make this scholarship program an annual venture by soliciting donations and/or using proceeds from Chamber programming. Scholarship proceeds must be used at a Livonia Chamber of Commerce member institution. (Those schools are: Schoolcraft College, Madonna University, Davenport University, Eastern Michigan University, Central Michigan University, Northwood University, ITT Technical Institute, Walsh College, Henry Ford Community College, Wayne State University, and Lawrence Technological University.) The award will be directly sent to the school of the winner's choice upon complete student enrollment in that institution.
Applicants must complete application below and write a 500-word essay for consideration of the scholarship. No interviews are planned. The Livonia Chamber of Commerce's Scholarship Committee will review applications and essays as part of the selection process.
High school scholarship winner must utilize the award during the 2014-15 school year. Failure to use the scholarship in a timely fashion will result in forfeiture of the award.
These scholarships are open to full-time and part-time students. Financial need or discipline of study will not be factors in the selection process.
For more information, call the Livonia Chamber of Commerce at 734.427.2122, or e-mail Chamber President Dan West at email@example.com.

Vancouver man pleads guilty to sending white powder to senator
Christopher Lee Carlson entered his plea Tuesday in federal court in Portland.
The Oregonian reports that the letter to the Maryland Democrat's Baltimore office was part of a February 2012 mass mailing.
Sentencing for the 41-year-old man was set for Feb. 4. The newspaper says he faces a maximum penalty of five years, a $250,000 fine and restitution costs.
Carlson was indicted in March 2012 on 12 counts accusing him of sending the letters to six members of Congress, including Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
The charges arose from an investigation into the mailing of about 100 envelopes containing white powder. The U.S. attorney's office in Portland said the letters, postmarked in Portland, tested negative for toxic substances.
A U.S. attorney's spokeswoman was not immediately reachable Tuesday night to discuss the status of the other counts

I am trying this for the second time. Man I have to get better on the computer. Okay I am trying to find more cast iron enamelware by this company. The label says Seigwer, Star(k?)(more letters?)& Seiger. The lettering is all in a circle around a large S that is topped by a small five pointed star. I know it is older and possibly German(?). For a description of the roaster that I bought see "Other brands of enameled cast iron". I have two almost identical postings there. The second was my first attempt to post a message. I live in Canada and am hoping to find more closer to home but if I can't oh well. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sorry I can't help you here, but I'm wondering if I may ask what is enameled cast iron and the benefits of using it? Thanks. |
Thanks for responding daisymay. Enameled cast iron is usually high quality cast iron that has been lined with a baked on ceramic enamel coating. The benefits of it is that it is usually lighter then regular cast iron ware. It is easier to clean and most of the time it is easier to use. It also radiates the heat back toward the food and cooks it faster. Thanks nickie |

Student says his camera shot "giant ghost"
Editor's note: No, the image hasn't been posted the wrong way! this is how it appears in the news report below, just notice the category before criticizing this lol
A Saudi nursing student said his camera captured what he described as a "giant ghost" by accident while filming the night moon near a beach in the Gulf Kingdom. His photograph published by a Saudi newspaper showed a large ghost-like image, which the shocked student said shot above him at a lightning speed.
