Fixing to plant some azaleas in an unprotected location but if the deer eat them too going to rethink my choices. Judy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Deer ate my azaleas just one year (of many) at my former garden. Here, an entire 6 minutes away, they nip at them more often. I have a mature azalea hedge at one side, and it bloomed along the bottom edges only this first year, the deer had eaten all the buds from the top. Just like a table :) Good thing a formally pruned application isn't my favorite for azaleas. Azaleas don't seem to be the deer magnet the laurel is (was, I just took it out), or crocus, of even the ivy I've been removing, but they will eat azaleas if in the mood that day. OT, that azalea hedge - I watched a doe trying in earnest to place her feet not to get into it the other day, but ON it. She wanted higher to better reach the cherry branches over it, but then I've seen all kinds of deer behavior new to me in these last 10 months :) |

Deer are strange creatures. Ours used to walk by us while we were working out in the yard. They were a mere 60-70 ft away and would just stare at us and keep strolling. Usually after they stop to munch. Guess I will just spray liquid fence. Thanks |
Deer don't eat our azaleas anymore. Unfortunate for us and fortunate for deer, conditions are favoring an explosion of the deer population. Deer are becoming a problem even in some urban areas. They are threatening their own habitat. Depending upon the deer pressure in your area, you response will vary. Where deer are just casual visitors, usually a number of deer repellents will work. They only work for a while, so it is best to rotate use among them. Some repellents used are: eggs, human hair, soap, feathermeal, bloodmeal, creosote, mothballs, tankage and commercial chemical repellents. The greatest amount of protection for home gardens with repellents is obtained by using several different repellents and rotating their use. Repellents should be applied before damage is likely to occur and before deer become accustomed to feeding on the plants. I used a combination of deer fencing around a smaller area with intense planting and deer netting in a larger more spread out area. In the winter of 2009-2010 deer were able to defeat the deer netting and started damaging the plastic deer fencing. I resorted to an 8-foot high-tension steel wire-mesh fence around most of the approximately 1-acre yard to the sides and behind our home where we have most of the trouble. It has 12-foot gates where vehicles can pass through and a 5-foot gate where people normally pass. |

The bells at St. Luke's Episcopal Church had barely finished ringing in the noon hour by the time members on the Cleveland Board of Zoning Appeals approved a setback variance for Bob and Robby Card Partnership.
The partnership requested a side setback variance of eight feet for a proposed addition to the service building at Easy Auto, at the corner of 25th and Parker streets. The potential expansion would be on the West end of the service building away from Parker Street.
Staff reported the odd shape of the property and the presence of the sewer easement crossing the property would be the most likely basis for granting the variance. The required setback in a Commercial Highway (CH) zone is 20 feet. The variance reduces the distance between the building and adjacent property to 12 feet.
The Bradley County Board of Zoning Appeals took longer to approve a setback variance of 7.9 feet requested by Wanda Calhoun. Calhoun is subdividing 3 1/2 acres on Ladd Springs Road which she plans to either sell or leave to her children.
The property is zoned Forestry/Agricultural/Residential (FAR) in which the front setback requirement is 25 feet and the requirement is 10 feet on the other three sides. However, one of the new property lines is within two feet of a structure built in the 1970s.
Staff recommended denying the request because the problem was one of the landowner's own creation. Surveyor Jim Richmond said extenuating conditions should be enough for the board to approve the request. He said the new property line runs parallel to a driveway, which is parallel to a drainage ditch. Moving the driveway would encroach on the drainage ditch, which could not be impacted without approval from Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
The four board members voted 2-1-1 in favor of the variance at the point where one corner of the building encroached into the setback area. Board members voted twice. Tim Waldrop and Cathy McCracken voted in favor of the variance on the first vote with board chair Ray Kerr and Glenna Pritchett voting against the request. On the second vote, Kerr passed to allow the variance to pass. Board member Tommy Newman was absent.
In the third meeting of the day, Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission members unanimously approved two items in a special meeting.
Eddie Botts requested to rezone 1.95 acres at the corner of Foster Lane and 20th Street S.E. from Mobile Home Parks (R4) to Low Density Single- and Multifamily Residential (R2).
The city is in the process of purchasing the property through the Community Development Block Grant program to support construction of decent and affordable housing by Habitat For Humanity for low and moderate-income occupants.
Commissioners also gave final plat approval for Stonebriar lot 22, a four-unit townhome subdivision on Stonebriar Drive located off Old Tasso Road. Staff recommended approval without comment.

Booth Ranches makes addition to sales staff
Orange Cove, Calif.-based Booth Ranches LLC hired Tracy Jones from Valentine Produce in August to handle the company's domestic citrus sales.
The company also recently purchased a new packinghouse, taking over the old home of Sunny Cove Citrus, which closed.
"We're making some modifications," said Neil Galone, vice president of sales for Booth. "Customers should not be able to tell which house product came from."
Galone also said the company has broken ground for a new office facility in Orange Cove that should be ready by August.
Diversified increases space for valencias
Lake Hamilton, Fla.-based Diversified Citrus Marketing is increasing its summer storage program for valencia oranges so that the company can continue to sell the variety well into July.
"We're trying to extend the variety so that we can have citrus available to customers year-round," said Al Finch, director of marketing.
Florida Department of Citrus makes hire
The Florida marketing and promotions body for fresh citrus recently hired Bradley Ruhmann as the organization's marketing coordinator.
He joined the organization in November.
Ruhmann, who previously held marketing positions with government and sports marketing companies in the Lakeland area, works closely with Amy Carpenter, the department's fresh marketing manager, in promoting fresh Florida oranges, grapefruit and specialty citrus items.
"He does a lot of our Web site coordination," Carpenter said. "He adds a lot of new information onto the site."
The department also is getting ready to move into a new office building in Bartow.
The commission, which was formed in 1935, held its first commission meeting in the new building Dec. 16 and plans to make the move permanent in February.
Packers of Indian River replants 100 acres
The Packers of Indian River Ltd., Fort Pierce, Fla., intends on going against the prevailing grain among Florida citrus growers this year.
In an age where many growers are reducing acres because of canker and greening eradication for the fear of disease, the company plans to replant about 100 acres during 2010, said Paul Genke, director of sales and marketing.
"We have to replace some of our groves if we're going to maintain supply to our customer base," Genke said.

...are we shuddering?
Well fans, the farther we get into the new season, the more it resembles last years. This team has the uncanny ability to make mistakes at crucial moments that take it out of games, particularly the pre-snap penalties, but also the holding calls, always to negate big gains. And then there are the fumbles which the opponent always recovers, while the ball rarely bounces the Vikes way. Collins fumbled twice, but lost neither one. The muffed exchange between Birk and Frerotte scooted right over to the other guy like a tramp dog. When the Purple came out to begin the third quarter with three penalties in its first possession, you knew the game was over. This is typical of the Vikes under Childress, and you have to wonder why.
Once again this year the Purple offense is a dull, predictable, boring thing for all but fans of Vikings opponents. There never seems any crafty mix of plays to keep the other team off balance, but a predictable run, run, run, and when that finally gets figured out, pass, pass, pass. When we have two bludgeons in the rushing attack like Peterson and Taylor, why arent the other guys vulnerable to the sneak air raid? That, of course, leads to the receiving corps, which doesnt get open any more often, nor drop any fewer passes than last years bunch. Bernard Berrian, who was billed as a glue-fingered wonder, juggled and dropped a TD against the Titans. He is even with Shiancoe in that category, as well as drops in general.
This years defense seemed improved, but now I wonder. Is the pass defense any more effective? Will opposing QBs ever not be able to make the necessary completions for the necessary yardage in front of Cedric Griffin? He was victimized all day last Sunday, giving up the crucial third and seven which enabled the Titans to drop a punt inside their five-yard line after the Vikes scored to draw within 23-17. And of course, the yet another special teams breakdown after a big score didnt help either. It seemed scripted.
One thing you cant blame on Vikes coaching is terrible officiating that goes against the Purple at crucial moments. The Titans Justin Gage was stopped well short of the first down on the one-yard line, and then fumbled, no question. The old, fat, blind refs got both calls wrong, and you could blame the loss on that one play, except the Vikes played so ineptly on so many other occasions.
Next Monday night at New Orleans, (and why in the world should this team be featured twice like this in the first five weeks?) the Vikes go up against another flying circus, featuring Drew Brees. Are we shuddering? We should be, unless we are hoping that The Wilfs will lose patience with Brad Childress early and I, for one, do not trust their judgment to make a change on the fly.
On the other hand, the Vikes have always played well in New Orleans, and maybe theyll catch a few breaks against a 2-2 team.
Talk back! Tell us what you think of this years teams. What would you do if you were in charge?

BANGALORE: While NICE Road can take speeds of up to 140-160km per hr, the legally defined limit is 120km. In all likelihood, the mishap occurred because the driver lost control over the vehicle, or was overspeeding. The experience of the driver in handling the vehicle at high speed is a crucial factor that will determine why the mishap occurred, NICE authorities said. Most drivers stick to 80-100km an hour.
A spokesperson said the entire NICE stretch is more or less straight, with only two curves - one at Gottigere and the other near Electronics City. "The stretch from Andhrahalli gate to Kengeri, where the accident occurred, is straight, covering around 3km. The two curves on the expressway are not sharp. There are also no humps, to facilitate free flow of vehicles. There is a dipped median in the centre of the road, with some grass. There is a crash barrier at the left side of the expressway."
City traffic police do not man the expressway nor are there speed interceptors as it is a private road, and the agreement with the government provides for traffic enforcement by NICE authorities. Instead, NICE has 18 vehicles on day-night patrol. The vehicles ply between toll booths and keep a watch on speedsters, irresponsible driving, illegal parking and any other activities. The patrol vehicles are in touch with a central command set up by NICE, who in turn are in touch with traffic police. In case of emergency, the central command informs the traffic police.
Resident's take
Rajesh Gowda, a resident of Kengeri and frequent user of NICE Road, told TOI that speeds of 140-160km per hour is common. "Many young boys race here on bikes and in cars. There are engineering colleges at Kengeri and students from there are known to race in the mornings. Sometimes, accidents do happen under the influence of drugs and alcohol, but often, there is only loss of control over the vehicle."

I have washed sterling in my dw for years. Just renovated my kitchen and now have a Kenmore Elite which does a great job on dishes but has turned the ss a funny dull color and my glasses are getting a fog. I added that stuff that's suppose to stop spots.....could that be the reason?
Help....I'm worried my sterling is ruined! It has gotten this way in just a couple of months of washing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lagatella, has there been any change in your water quality? My glasses used to "fog", actually etch, because I use a water softener and filtration unit. Most dish detergents are made to accomodate hard water. Once I switched to a dishwasher detergent formulated for "soft" water, my glasses stopped fogging. |
I agree with Becky....and you also may be using too much detergent.... Your silverware will polish...try it to be sure....but the glassware may be ruined. Are you using the power dry cycle? that may also contribute....it the detergent isn't getting rinsed off well enough and then the heat cycle comes on....that all contributes to dulling the finish. I ruined several sets of glasses and coulded some of my good lead crystal wine glasses before I figured out "less detergent!!!" Today's detergents are made for people who don't scrape nor pre rinse their dishes and are built strong to take care of the extra gunk. But if you rinse your dishes, then there is extra detergent in the washer and it acts on the dishes and glassware....because there is no more food. Get some Wrights....polish your silver....and try less of a perhaps different product. Linda C....who has put her sterling in the dishwasher for about 35 years. |

Sterling + stainless (or any other metal) will F up the silver finish in a dishwasher if they touch. If you're going to do sterling, DO NOT have any other metals in the DW. |
It is better to use commercial sterling silver cleaners but you can also used warm water with a mild soap, baking soda or mild phosphate free detergents. |

Call your water company. In my case, it's the county water department. A friend of mine called, and our water is very soft, so I use about half as much dw detergent as called for. |
I always wash my silverplate by hand. I use silver polish about once a year to maintain its shine. I rarely use the silverplate, I use my stainless flatware daily and it gets washed in the DW. |
I use m y sterling daily and put it into the dishwasher....have for about 35 years. LiNDA c |
I've also heard that washing sterling with lemon or other citrus "flavored" dishwashing soaps can affect the silver. Something to do with the acid. |

Bakersfield business owner arrested for financial reporting crimes
Arrested on 3 counts of cash transactions
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -
A Bakersfield business owner was arrested for financial reporting crimes, said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner.
Miguel Antonio Ruiz Jaramillo, 66, of Bakersfield, was arrested today after being indicted on Feb. 14, by a federal grand jury on three counts of structuring cash transactions.
According to the indictment, from Jan. 2010 through July 2012, Jaramillo cashed more than 50 checks from his gardening business at Valley Republic Bank in Bakersfield.
All the checks were $10,000 or less in order to prevent, or attempt to prevent, the bank from filing a Currency Transaction Report on those transactions. In 2010 and 2011, Jaramillo did not declare the structured cash payments on his federal tax returns.
"To purposely circumvent the federal laws within the Bank Secrecy Act and avoiding the filing of a CTR is a criminal violation that will be vigorously investigated by law enforcement" said Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Jose M. Martinez.

Building a Better Workplace: Boosting Morale
When you ask your employees to attend a meeting or complete a task, do they snap into action, or do their eyes seem to glaze over the moment you make a request? You may not think it's a big deal if your staff members aren't excited about doing their jobs, as long as they're still completing the basic requirements of their duties but in fact, lackluster employees can drag your whole company down.
When employees don't feel motivated to participate in the workplace, productivity drops and absenteeism rises. Their lack of enthusiasm has a big impact on your bottom line. A recent Gallup Employee Engagement analysis found that companies with highly engaged employees showed nearly four times the financial growth rate of companies with lower engagement. The top-performing companies in their study boasted nearly 10 engaged employees for every jaded staffer; in average companies, the ratio was just 1.83 to one.
In today's difficult financial climate, where employees are often stretched to their limits and worried about layoffs, it can be tougher than ever to keep your staff's spirits up. By investing time and effort into bringing your team together and making sure that they feel respected and valued, you can ensure that your staff will weather the difficult times and help your company become stronger than ever. Try these proven strategies for boosting workplace morale.
Give your employees the chance to play. Google is one of America's most innovative companies, but staff members don't spend all their time hunched over their computers: The company is renowned for its world-class perks, which include ping-pong tables, a video game room, and even a rock-climbing wall. A climbing wall may not be in your budget, but any business can create the same sense of play by purchasing a Nintendo Wii or even a few board games. The key is to give your employees the opportunity to take a quick break during the day to de-stress and build friendships.
"Our conference table is a ping-pong table that gets used for games throughout the day," says Aliza Earnshaw, director of sales at Portland, Ore.-based Internet company AboutUs. "Besides providing exercise, the ping-pong games bring out a lot of laughter, and high fives at the end of every match."
Keep the kitchen stocked. In response to budget cuts, many companies have cut back on expenses like free office snacks. Bad move: Nothing's more likely to send a staff member into a downward spiral than knowing he can't even count on his free morning coffee anymore. Go the opposite direction instead, and make sure that your staff always has access to high-quality food.
Earnshaw says that AboutUs pays for a weekly grocery delivery that includes boutique coffee and healthy snacks like yogurt and fruit. "We probably spend more on food and coffee than many larger companies, but we find that it keeps people in the office, and happy in the office." The company's strategy increases workplace productivity and profits. "People will stay through lunch and late in the day because they can grab a snack so easily, and just keep working."
Make sure that your employees aren't being overworked. Along the same lines, make sure that your employees are maintaining a good work-life balance. Start by setting a positive example yourself: "If you, as a manager, skip your child's Little League game to handle a client emergency, you are sending the message to all your direct reports that work is more important than family," says Leigh Steere, co-founder of Managing People Better, LLC, an online tool that helps managers identify management flaws. "That's a surefire way to damage morale and lose top talent."
It's also important to take note of who's burning the midnight oil and help those employees identify ways to cut back their time on the job. "If you see an employee who regularly puts in 70-hour weeks, pull the person aside and ask what's needed to get that down to 40 or 45 hours," adds Steere. Even if the answer means making a new hire, it could be well worth the financial cost if it helps keep a key employee motivated and prevents staff turnover.
Bring your team together for out-of-office events. When there's friction at the office, a day together off the job could be just what's needed to relax the tension and boost your employees' moods.
Timothy G. Wiedman, an assistant professor of management and human resources at Doane College, says that a group whitewater rafting trip went a long way towards boosting morale at a college he'd worked for. "To negotiate the rapids, paddling teamwork was vital," he says. "Further, if a team member ended up in the water, that person needed some help to get back into the boat. Rafting is truly a group effort, and most team members quickly learned to work together and help each other out."
When planning an excursion, consider activities in which your employees will need to rely on one another for help in fulfilling a common goal. If whitewater rafting isn't an option, what about a day building houses together with Habitat for Humanity, or even a paintball game? It's always important to consider the health and fitness level of your employees when planning such events, so be mindful that you've organized an activity that everyone will be able to participate in.
Give employees more input into how the company runs. Employees often become disengaged because they feel as though their opinions don't matter. To counteract that attitude, make sure that all staff members—even your lowest-level employee—have the opportunity to offer suggestions and express their opinions about the workplace, particularly when it comes to their own jobs. "They may have ideas for how to do something more quickly, more efficiently or more accurately," says Steere. "Instead of ignoring their suggestions or sending them through red-tape hoops, give them some autonomy to implement the ideas that are within their control."
Similarly, when there's a problem to be solved at the workplace, ask all of your employees for their opinions on how to resolve it. "Involvement leads to engagement," adds Steere. "It also helps employees feel ownership over the course of action, instead of feeling that they have no say or control."
Advocate for your staff. Everyone knows the saying "The customer is always right." But that's not always true—and when a customer or client is mistreating one of your employees, it's your job to stand up for your staff member. Michael Sparado, president of the New York City-based IT consulting firm Help With a Smile, says that clients have occasionally treated his employees with blatant disrespect. "In such instances, standing up for your employees, respectfully and professionally, even if it means potential lost business, shows how much you care about them as part of your team," he says. "In the end, chances are good that the employees are going to be worth more to you than the belligerent client."
Give employees credit for a job well done. Employees can become fed-up with the workplace when they feel as though their hard work isn't being recognized. Be sure to closely follow every employee's job progress, and take special note when someone comes up with an innovative solution to a problem or surpasses a goal.
If your company is large, it can be most effective if the recognition comes from the top-level staff: Rita Weiss, an executive coach in New York, initiated one workplace program in which a company CEO was asked to write notes of recognition to acknowledge employees' great work. "The CEO was skeptical about the potential impact," says Weiss. "What difference would one note make to the person?" But after entering a manager's office, the CEO saw that his note had been posted on the manager's whiteboard. "The note remained there for months, and the morale boost lasted even longer."
Company awards programs, whether based on set milestones or on employee votes, can also serve as a powerful way to commend employees for making an impact. Consider offering monthly employee awards, in which winners will receive gift certificates and other prizes.
Respect, open communication, and a sense of play are essential hallmarks of a happy workplace. Transform the workplace by following these steps, and you'll see your employees' dedication levels rise—along with your company's bottom line.

Immigration policy could take some notes from Major League Baseball. 100+ sources that every innovation professional should know. (updated 2014) Running innovation projects is hard.
By definition you're doing new things so you can't rely on old habits and routines. If you and your innovation team don't feel uncomfortable, you're simply not innovating. That doesn't mean you'll need to fly blind. The World's Most Innovative Companies: Risk, Observation, & Measurement. Every year Fast Company reveals its list of the world's most innovative companies of the year.
With the topic of innovation front and center, Fast Company considers themselves to be a progressive media brand "written for, by, and about the most progressive business leaders". For the most part, this year's top 10 listing comes as no surprise presenting Nike, Amazon, Square, Splunk, Fab, and Uber as the top 6 champions of innovation.
Initially I had thought to only mention the top five, but for turning the taxi and town-car industry upside down, I thought Uber deserved a mention as well. After all, it's not often that a company challenges innovation in an industry dating back to the early 1700's. The Five Personalities of Innovators: Which One Are You?

By anonymous. Description The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail (Management of Innovation and Change Series) by Clayton M. The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen. Clayton Christensen. The Innovator's Dilemma In his book, The Innovator's Dilemma [3], Professor Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School describes a theory about how large, outstanding firms can fail "by doing everything right.
" The Innovator's Dilemma, according to Christensen, describes companies whose successes and capabilities can actually become obstacles in the face of changing markets and technologies. Christensen describes two types of technologies: sustaining technologies and disruptive technologies. Sustaining technologies are technologies that improve product performance. These are technologies that most large companies are familiar with; technologies that involve improving a product that has an established role in the market. The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail. New technologies and innovations cause even some of the best-run firms to slip and sometimes fall.
As you look ahead, it may be helpful to identify innovations that will get your company the most competitive traction. Sustaining technology is an innovation that makes good technology better. A disruptive technology is an innovation that brings something something worse to market. New technologies and innovations cause even some of the best-run firms to slip and sometimes fall.

Is Febreze disruptive? It depends what job you hire it for I often start by reminding clients and prospects -- anyone who will listen -- that an innovative technology is a nice thing to have, and can certainly enable market disruption if it uniquely enables a large sustainable cost advantage, or a new way of doing things that is easier or more convenient. But technology is neither necessary, nor sufficient for disruption to occur. Disruptive innovation is not about technology. Front End of Innovation Europe Event Overview. Innovation.

Innovation requires Lens Shifting. A while ago, my friend Jackie Hutter and I did a workshop on Leading Indicators for Innovation from 2 aspects: 1) how can you look around you for leading indicators of areas ripe for innovation; and 2) what are leading indicators in your innovation process itself. Both are important, the first is more 'fun' so we'll discuss it first and save the 2nd for another post. Jackie coined the phrase, "Lens Shifting" which made me thing of this: The Brain Twist.

Posting a picture from your photo hosting account (e.g., PhotoBucket)
First, where are your pictures? If on your computer only, you will need to upload them somewhere on the web for the rest of us to see them. I upload pictures to PhotoBucket.
Again, your pictures must be located somewhere online, not on your local machine.
Note: If using "image code", you may sometimes see the code with square brackets ([ ]) instead of angle brackets (< >). You must replace some of the square brackets with angle brackets and eliminate others for the image code to work. Your goal is to make your "image code" look like the example above.
While you cannot post a PDF file directly into a message, you can convert it to a JPEG (JPG) file using one of the free "PDF Converters" found online. One such converter is the "Neevia Document Converter" at the link below. Neevia Document Converter (http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/) Once your file has been converted to a "JPEG" image, save the image on your local machine, upload the picture/image to your photo hosting account, and post the picture/image here. To do this:

Hi all - I usually spend most of my time in the old houses forum since restoring the house is the biggest priority right now. But, recently, I picked up a small antique I would love to find out more about.
Check out the photos of both my little Victorian Ebonized Music Cabinet and the photos from the E & R Dubrow reference book on late American Made Victorian furniture. Luckily, I found my little cabinet in the book listed as item number 265 by the Clarke Bros. & Co. furniture makers. I cant find anything out about them and the book doesn't list any information on this company - like where they were located, when they were in existence, or likewise. Here is a link to the photos of the cabinet and a page from the book: http://thejoshuashivelyhouse.blogspot.com/2010/02/ebonized-music-cabinet.html I'm going to try to write to the publisher, Schiffer books, to see if they might be able to assist, but thought I'd throw this out to the GardenWeb community to see if any of you know anything about it. |

THANKS moonshadow. Interestingly, since posting this question, I found an entry on the Univ. of Idaho Web site for a Charles Clarke who worked for Clarke Bros furniture of Cincinnati - your reply leads me to believe this is probably the same firm. I have actually found quite a few antique furniture pieces in the Louisville/Southern Ohio region that I can identify on the Clarke Bros pages of the Dubrow reference book. Kind of makes sense if the company was in Cincy. Thanks so much for that link - its good to see their stamp on something. |

Oh, you're welcome! I always get a kick out of trying to track something down. ;) If I get a chance to look some more and find anything I'll post back. Or if you find out more I'd be curious to know! |

this is crazy ... I ever saw one of these before I got mine, and now there is one on eBay - identical (ok, lol, mines in better condition) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360235296977&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT |
That happens so often on my local craigslist. Something I've never seen before comes up, and suddenly there are three of them. Then, nothing like them is seen again for months or years. I can only conclude that people who own those things have similar rhythms in their lives or something. I like the point on your blog about machine vs. hand made. Something that has also struck me is that handmade had a whole different meaning when the tools used were also handmade. There was a whole lot of ingenuity and skill back then that I just don't feel we have anymore... maybe that's part of the charm of those old things. KarinL |
You would probably get a lot better information at a web site called "rarevictorian". They focus on victorian furnishings and are a wealth of information both in their threads and what you can find reading articles they've written. It's a great website for anyone collecting victorian furnishings. |

Wow, ohjim, lol, what are the odds?! I've seen what KarinL mentions, usually for something I'm looking for. Dry for months or years and then all of a sudden an appearance of multiples. ;) That's a very nice site you mentioned ichic, I checked it out and bookmarked it. |

I just came across your post while doing some family history research. My great-grandfather was Robert E. Clarke, and in 1874 when he was about 19 he set up a business with his slightly older brother George in Brooklyn where they lived. They called themselves "Clarke Bros. & Co." and had what they called a "Bracket Store" located on Fulton Street at the junction of Flatbush Avenue. I believe they published at least this one catalog (dated Fall 1875) which can be seen in its entirety, digitized on-line at http://www.archive.org/details/illustratedcatal00clar The business doesn't seem to have lasted beyond 1877. The family had left Brooklyn by 1878 and Robert became an actor and elocution teacher. I don't know what became of George. And, unfortunately, I don't know any more about this bracket & furniture business, but would like to! |

Nature always tech humans and give awesome colorful scenes. In our old days peoples use still water for looking the face but know mirror is available on our walls to see better and clear result and reflection. Have you ever looked into a mirror only to be surprised by what you see? Reflections aren't exact replications. They can give us slightly different perspectives, adding interest and beauty to the otherwise mundane. Nature in any face look so adorable they always tech the humanity with different faces, Every day Nature colors is special and different, everyday nature give breath the new sun and moon with different colors. Everyday the sky color is changed and give awesome look. So I decided to post here nature related images so I found a great photographer pictures.

Gorgeous Effects Of Nature
May 30th, 2012 Naila
We will never weaken of the activist effects of nature. Its kind, peaceful and inspirational pressure will never quit of style. The more we sprint, the more time we expend inside stare at our screen and devices, the more built-up our lifestyles develop into, the more we desire and require time missing from it all. Getting back to nature is not a latest experience. For hundreds of years, well-off city tenants have traveled to summer dwellings and summer resorts, and reserved to their cottages and lakeside retreats. They've enjoyed fresh air in their gardens and hunting estates. Look in this gallery and make a plan to spend your sometime daily in the calmness and beautiful nature to feel the glance of incredible nature.

Please drop me an e-mail if you want to join in! I see a few names that I haven't seen an e-mail from. There are well over 100 people in this swap (closer to 150 now) so it's hard for me to contact everyone who posts here, so PLEASE send an e-mail if you haven't already! |

This swap will be closed in 2 days. Seeds not sent out by now, probably will not make it in time for the trade and will be returned unopened. After this date, I will be traveling for son's health care and have instructed my husband to return all bubble envies that come in while I am away. This swap has been great fun, and many MANY people have been involved. Last count was 80 envies through my house and the average number of seed per person was 50-100 packs. The most common of the regularly swapped seed has been Datura and least common sunflower and marigold amazingly enough. I have plenty Blanket flower and datura though LOL. I hope everyone enjoyed this swap and watch for it again next year (Unless I go crazy and do one in the spring as well LOL)! I want to thank all of you who were so kind that sent in extra seed, postage and baggies! All were appreciated and used! I also want to thank everyone who labeled so well and a few even sent me a list making my life so much easier! Thanks so much again!! |
Thank you Robbi, well wishes for your son, you and everyone, have safe travels, hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving. Bea |
got my seeds today- thanks everyone, and a special thanks to Robbi for hosting:) |

I received my package, and what a surprise it was. Included were several types that I've wanted for a while but completely forgot about this year! How'd you know?! Thank you for hosting the swap again, it was fun and I'm glad I joined in. Also, thanks to everyone who shared their seeds. |

NYSEG and RG and E have been alerted of a bill payment scam geared toward utility customers.Customers have been contacted and asked to pay current or past charges by individuals who do not work for NYSEG or RG and E.
Some precautions you can take? When making online payments, don't use email links, go through the company website directly.
When making payments over the phone, confirm the NYSEG or RG and E phone number.
And to eliminate fraud completely, the companies suggest enrolling in it's auto pay service.

Remember those bad old days when the economy grew at 8% annually, tax rates on upper income earners ranged from 50-90%, wages rose commensurate to productivity gains, and unionized workers made up 35% of the US workforce? Thank God we haven't taken our country back from the Kenyan Muslim Socialist Bankster in Chief back to the bad old economic days of Eisenhower. I like economies with generous corporate welfare and privatized public services, ones that have a CEO to worker pay ratio of 500 to 1, chronic under and unemployment, and a health care system that can hold sick children hostage while their parents bankrupt themselves trying to save their sons or daughters. God bless America!
But I digress. By all means, go back to your union bashing, all ye peasants, peons, and pissants. Horizontal hostility is fun, and much safer for health and ego. Better to grind the bug under your boot than to scrape at the heels of your betters.
Posted by PMA at December 12, 2012 04:36 PMNever forget, even Babbling Brooks the Blubberer, elite scribe and dutiful servant of the meritocracy, admits that white Republicans are the largest recipients of entitlements and taxpayer dollars.
"The people who receive the disproportionate share of government spending are not big-government lovers. They are Republicans. They are senior citizens. They are white men with high school degrees. As Bill Galston of the Brookings Institution has noted, the people who have benefited from the entitlements explosion are middle-class workers, more so than the dependent poor." -David Brooks, "Thurston Howell Romney"
Funny. Without the Thurston Howell Romneys, this country disintegrates. You'll see.

Schlossberg reminisced about her days as a copy kid working for the Daily News, delivering Mehle, who once worked there, reports from around the globe. "She is a great patron of the arts as well as a keen journalist," said Schlossberg. "She has an insightful eye and unflappable sense of style."
While they were at it, the revelers, including ABT Juliets Paloma Herrera and Julie Kent, as well as all the Romeos, took the opportunity to celebrate Mehle's birthday with a giant pink cake and a round of singing.
"I seldom go to lunch," Mehle told the crowd. "As my friend Pat Buckley asked, 'Did you get up at midnight to come here?'"
Of course, at midnight, only 12 hours earlier, Lincoln Center looked like a regular disco inferno. The New York City Ballet's supporters stormed the dance floor for the Dance with the Dancers gala, sponsored by Valentino and hosted by Helen Schifter, Tara Rockefeller, Muffy Flouret and Jeff Klein, who arrived in a white stretch limo. The fete's ragingly popular disco theme meant a sizzling performance by Deborah Harry, glam Seventies fashion and studly bartenders clad only in their briefs.

Searchable, weighing only a few ounces, and frequently updated. These aren't characteristics usually associated with bulky textbooks. But with the increased prevalence of portable reading devices such as Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad, textbooks are getting a serious makeover for the 2010s. They're going digital and these e-textbooks are making their way into classrooms from elementary school to college.
It's another setback for beleaguered hardback textbooks, already reeling from the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that students reduce the weight of books in their backpacks.
Now, an interest in reducing the environmental impact of textbook printing - as well as in saving money by cutting out physical book distributors - is leading educators to weigh the pros and cons of bringing e-textbooks into their classrooms.
Schools and universities across the nation are launching initiatives to test whether e-textbooks can improve learning and cut costs, according to the Wall Street Journal. E-textbooks are marketed as being environmentally friendly, immediately available via download, current, and full of features that traditional books simply cannot offer -- including the opportunity to highlight text and type notes directly onscreen.
Not surprisingly, the push to convert students to e-textbooks is gaining momentum via social media and an appeal to buyers' feel-good desire to save money and paper.
Textbooks.com, one of the largest online retailers of e-textbooks, has expanded beyond simply selling hardcover and e-books to creating a community for textbook buyers. It even touts a "social learning network," or online study group for students.
Buying an e-textbook on the site is as easy as simply entering an ISBN number, title, or author in the search box. Download it and the book is yours, instantly.
While an e-textbook may be lighter, less expensive, and more appealing to a generation that grew up with smartphones, hardback books still serve a purpose -and not just as a paperweight.
Joanne Kravetz, academic department director for Interior Design at The Art Institute of California — Los Angeles, believes that e-textbooks are valuable to students but asserts that "some hardcover art books with colored plates have greater value" than their digital counterparts.
As with any technology, e-textbooks are only as good as the device they're loaded onto.
"E-books can be susceptible to viruses, dead batteries, technical difficulties, and malfunctions," says Kravetz, who has heard from students and instructors that the books don't always perform as promised.
A Wall Street Journal article on students' initial reactions to e-textbooks showed that while many found e-textbooks' special functions to be beneficial, others found the texts "awkward and inconvenient."
The article asserts that e-textbooks face additional hurdles from the very market they target - young, tech-savvy students. When members of this key demographic were asked what they wanted in e-textbooks, "many said they wanted interactive features like videos and quizzes," the article explains.
So far, e-textbooks haven't added in these features.
Even so, the digital books' ease of use is making them an appealing alternative to bulky hardcover textbooks. The instructors Kravetz has talked with continue to debate whether the digital books are as beneficial to students as traditional textbooks.
Students considering going digital with their textbooks need to balance the pros and cons of the purchase. For example, there will be a very high start-up cost if the student doesn't already own a device capable of downloading or storing the e-textbook.
Another potential downside is that e-textbooks typically cannot be resold, according to TeleRead author David Rothman. Reselling used textbooks is often a way for students to recoup some of their money, so the potential savings of an e-textbook may be diminished if the digital version cannot be resold. Finally, some books expire after a set amount of time, meaning students cannot access them for future reference.
But the benefits of e-textbooks cannot be overlooked. Their portability and ease of use open up new opportunities to engage students in subject matter. Students can hyperlink to more information straight from the "pages" of their digital textbooks. And for a generation that's used to digital everything, this may be particularly appealing - especially if the books evolve and offer a more interactive user experience.
One thing is for certain: students choosing to purchase e-textbooks will be on the forefront of merging technology with education. It's a trend that's going to keep educators crunching numbers to see if advances in technology correlate with increases in test scores and decreases in the cost of education.

HAWAII Magazine reader Veronica Craig writes:
On one of our many walking trips around
We're guessing the step-like "walking track" you're referring to, Veronica, are the ties of an abandoned railway that runs along the crater's west side. This is one of the best trails leading to Pu'u Mai, the crater's highest peak. The ties were for an incline tram used by the military during World War II, to transport personnel and supplies to a lookout post on the summit.
Access to this trail starts at
Your next mission is a trek up the 1,000-plus "steps" to the top of Koko crater. The reward? A panoramic view of the east
A note of caution: Parts of the decades-old railway trail are in disrepair, possibly unsafe and recommended for experienced hikers only. If you do go, prepare accordingly and proceed with caution. You'll find tips from The Division of State Parks for preparing for similar hikes here.
I haven't hiked to the summit of Koko Crater yet, but it now definitely tops my list of things I need to do this summer. With views like this, I don't think I can pass it up any longer.
UPDATE, 6/12/08: I climbed the Koko Crater Trail. Read about my adventures here.

Parents of multiple birth children experience unique challenges which are sometimes not understood or even acknowledged in mainstream services. They can compare themselves unfavourably to parents of singletons and can feel guilty because they are not able to live up to their own expectations of being a parent. This one day workshop (10am-4.30pm) gives parents an opportunity to explore their parenting without their children around and help parents to understand that rather than trying to achieve perfect parenting a more realistic aim is to be a 'good enough' parent. The topics considered are:
"The faciltiator was great...I came away with lots of practical tips and ideas for coping with my twins"
These workshops are for those whose multiples are aged between one and five years. Courses are currently free of charge but advance booking is essential. Please do not book places if your multiples are younger/older than this as the workshop content will not be suitable. There is no childcare available and we are unfortunately unable to accommodate children within the workshop.
This workshop is also available for delivery to childrens' centres, twins clubs and groups, and other organisations. If you are interested in this please email firstname.lastname@example.com
A light lunch is provided. Spaces are limited so we'd recommend that you BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment.
Are you expecting twins, triplets or more? If so you probably have lots of questions! We run 2-hour sessions delivered by trained volunteers who have multiples themselves and may be able to help. From looking after yourself, to tips on buggies and support networks. We run these sessions throughout the year in many locations throughout Scotland.

The Schon Magazine Last Words editorial features a demure Isabeli Fontana. Described as a "...moody noir shoot…," the pictures are now available in the 19th issue of the magazine.
Supreme Rocket Productions' Andre Birleanu worked with photographer Gustavo Zylbersztajn for Last Words. The two took cues from art director Daniel Burman who opted for retro 1940s motifs. This came to the fore through stylist Renata Correa's incorporation of knee-length dresses, lace shirts and fur shawls.
Exceptional elegant notes shone through via an epic gilded green velvet Gucci dress, showcasing Fontana's figure and penchant for luxury fashion spreads all at once. The way in which Schon released the pictures with prototypical film imagery added a further sense of mystery to the set.

Only on SkinInc.com: Spa Visionary Susie Ellis Explains How Spa Evidence Can Improve Your Business
Posted: July 20, 2011
page 3 of 3
The ever-mounting medical evidence behind so many spa and wellness therapies is THE MOST powerful marketing message you can present to clients. This is the evidence doctors use, and it's hard science, not soft, fluffy advertising messages. So use the data in your marketing messages and in your ongoing communications with your clients. Get creative with using the data (The sky's the limit—you could have staff use stats in e-mail signatures, rotate them on your site, print them in signage in the spa). Make the existing data and the new studies that will keep coming a part of your informational outreach to clients. For example, if a new study on massage comes out, get the news out to them and combine it with a promotion or offer.
More and more spas have an intake questionnaire/consultation on clients' health issues/concerns/specific needs and goals. After this intake/info gathering, customize a program/course of therapy specifically using the medical evidence to back up your recommendations. This can be done in an in-person consultation, or in an e-mail with a follow-up consultation.
Hold/create educational events where you teach your community and clients about how and why to use the new database. Combine this with free treatments that let people experience your offerings while understanding and being sold on their medical value simultaneously.
Embrace, and don't be afraid of, transparency. There are a few spa therapies, such as ear candling, that not only do not have the medical research to support them, they actually have negative medical research (they can harm). Spas and wellness centers need to use the portal smartly. You and your employees need to understand and communicate that the lion's share of clinical studies have been devoted to the effects of new drugs and medical procedures, and not that beauty treatments are not part of the medical research. You need to clearly communicate that if you or your clients DON'T find studies on how a particular spa/wellness therapy impacts a particular health issue, it does not mean that the therapy is proven not to be valuable; it simply means the evidence doesn't exist. Studies that have been completed, whether the outcomes were positive, negative or inconclusive, are accessible at the four databases presented on the site.
Don't be intimidated by the new website! While these databases are clinical tools used by medical professionals, and you will inevitably face some confusing medical jargon, just jump in and use it!

Valeria Lukyanova Before Photos
Our recent article, discussing Ukrainian "Living Barbie" Valeria Lukyanova left us wanting to know more about this internet sensation. So we decided to sniff out some of Valeria's "before" photos to see just how drastic her transformation into a "living doll" has been. Check out these photos to see how much she changed.
The first three photos depict a young lady who is certainly attractive, but by no means resembles the "Living Barbie" photos scattered around the internet.
We were also able to locate, what I'd describe as "during" photos. These appear to have been taken in the middle of Valeria's transformation. Notice that her nose has been altered, but more work was done on it later. Her hair is lighter and her skin seems to be devoid of her natural freckles, probably covered by makeup. Her eyebrows are higher and her upper lip appears to be fuller.
And finally, we have the extreme "Barbie" look, complete with button nose, large eye lashes, and circular eye lenses to give Valeria that doll-like appearance.
While some could argue that Valeria should have stopped at those "during" photos, her extreme transformation has made her a worldwide celebrity. This young lady, like it or not, has struck a nerve in many who either love or hate her new look. It will be interesting to see if she's able to parlay the curiosity in her transformation into some sort of career.
