Hi. I am usually on the garden side of things but was delighted to see this forum too!
Ok, here's the situation..
It had been painted. I stripped it to within an inch of it's life, and got it down to the bare wood with no damage/knife marks etc. (My toothbrush method is awesome). I wanted to stain it cherry or mahagony, and got going on that, but the worst of my fears was realized. The dresser appears to be constructed of several different kinds of wood which all take the stain differently, some parts barely take the color, others parts take deep color wherever the sanding left a little roughness. I'm guessing this baby was never meant to be anything other than painted with paint. -Or what we call "paint grade" wood. Ok, but I am not a big fan of painted wood furniture.
I did pull out a small can of the dreaded "polyshades" (Bombay mahogany), and believe this will leave a wood stain "like" color evenly on the wood, especially if I do a few coats. I would 00000 steel wool it at the end so it wasn't excessivly shiny. Anyone have advice for me? If it's bad news or advice that I am wasting my time,.... bring it on, I can take it. Thanks so much!
Follow-Up Postings:
You could check out the faux finishing technique of 'graining'. You apply paint with combs, brushes and rollers in such a way that it looks like wood grain. |
How old is the piece? Could it be a piece of antique "cottage furniture"...or perhaps you have not stripped it as well as it should be. Can you post a picture? Linda C |
I am guessing this piece is from the forties or fifties. It looks like it was originally painted a cream color with gold (metallic) details. It was also sprayed, not brush painted. I am just not a big fan of painted furniture. So, here's what I've done. It's completely stripped. Steel wool the hell out of it between coats. After the last coat I will sand it with 220, It's still not too late to talk me out of it. I have only done 1 drawer. |
Even if the piece was made entirely out of maple, different maple boards will take stain differently than others, resulting in the problem you were having. In order to even out the stain, a lot of woodworkers/refinishers will first give the piece a "spit coat" of shellac, which seals the wood and allows for an even color of stain. If you want it to look dark and even, I would probably use a gel stain (Varathane makes a decent gel stain), or else you can just keep brushing on your oil stain like paint and let it dry until it is as dark as you want it. I've used polyshades before, and can't say that I'm a fan. You're more likely to go nuts before you get a decent finish. |

Date Published: 10/13/2010
[DENVER, CO, October 5, 2010] – Art Institute of Colorado Photography students spent a few days out of the summer capturing the beauty and charm of Colorado's Montrose region.
Over a period of two and a half days, 32 students from the Summer 2010 Landscape Travel Special Topics course traveled to the Montrose region to photograph its people, wildlife and other nuances. The resulting images center on the Black Canyon, and also illustrate the lifestyle of the area's inhabitants and local recreational opportunities, as well as some of its heritage.
Dave Neligh, Photography Instructor for the class, said he chose the area because it has such a diverse range of interesting subjects, with both an established community and a bourgeoning future.
A project sponsored by The Montrose Association of Commerce and Tourism, the resulting images will be used for the association's advertising materials, including a full page in the Official State Vacation Guide, as well as the Visitor's Guide for Montrose. The photographs will also be used to update the association's Web site, www.visitmontrose.com.
"Montrose is a multi-faceted city and the photography students from the Landscape Travel Special Topics class captured its beauty, essence and spirit in their work. We are focused on creating a positive economic impact on our community through the use of strong imagery and our brand promise," Jenni Sopsic, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Montrose Association of Commerce and Tourism, said.
She said that by featuring these images in the association's advertising, she hopes to inspire people to visit the region.
"For many students, this is their first opportunity to work with a real client with real needs, whose photos will be published and whose overall impact will be a positive one on the area. We're helping this community," Neligh said.
He said the students have received tremendous optimistic feedback from both Art Institute of Colorado faculty and members of the Montrose community.
The collection of images will be on display in The John Jellico Gallery at The Art Institute of Colorado from November 29, 2010 – January 21, 2011.

Mount/Mustang News Jan. 28, 2014 email exchange
As stated on Page 1A of the Jan. 30, 2014 issue of the Mustang News, the following are Jan. 28, 2014 email communications between Ward 6 Councilman Don Mount and Mustang News Editor Traci Chapman. See the News' Thursday edition and the related story for more information.
(Emails are exactly as sent/received)
—–Original Message—–
From: Traci Chapman [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]
Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 9:41 AM
To: email@example.com
Subject: Additional Questions
> Mr. Mount,
> I have a couple of additional questions as I wrap up my story for publication on Thursday.
> 1. I have reviewed a large bulk of the letters you have submitted to > city officials and have found there are many allegations of wrongdoing, but they seem to be generally rather unspecific and I am unaware of any actions taken against anyone at the city for wrongdoing? Are there specific allegations you are making against anyone? If so, could you please detail these and advise what backup information you have?
> 2. I understand you took no part in hiring City Manager Timothy Rooney (did not participate in his interviews, etc.). Is there a reason why you did not participate in this process? Is the hiring of a city manager something all members of the council should be a part of?
> 3. You seem quite critical of Mr. Rooney and Interim City Manager Justin Battles, both in the statements made in your letters, as well as the tone with which I've heard you address them at council meetings? Do you have specific objections to the performance of these individuals?
> 4. Why did you vote against the purchase of the five new police cars at last council meeting?
> If you could please respond sometime today, I would be most appreciative. I apologize for not sending this email yesterday; we've had several breaking news items that I had to address before I got back to this story.
> Thank you,
> Traci Chapman

> Dear Ms. Traci Chapman:
> I am delighted to talk with the press and I will again answer your questions. I am sorry that you missed your other deadline on 1/21/14 when you emailed me with your questions and were on a deadline then. I am pleased that you have "reviewed a large bulk of my letters". I am disturbed about your so-called "findings of many allegations of wrongdoing" in my letters, however I am also pleased to know that you have the qualifications to "render these kinds of judgments" I shall continue to exercise my rights as to free speech and if any public officials makes a statement or publishes a statement that I choose to question, I shall do so. I also notice your ability to use words like "generally rather unspecific" in classifying words or things that you accuse me of having said. I am sure that perhaps you are unaware of a lot of things because I have not observed your being around for any length of time. In your second numbered paragraph I must tell you that "again" you are terribly wrong in your so-called "understanding" with respect to hiring City Manager Timothy Rooney. I was a part of that process to a point. In your vast accumulation of "my letter" you should find one dated April 30, 2013 to Mr. Battles wherein I told him I could not be available. Also on that same day, at 6:35 p.m. Mr. Battles called me about the special meeting for that day. I will not detail every event relative to this matter but one such major happening was the fact that my wife was having "strokes" and of course I shall always make that My first priority. I am terribly sorry if this does not please you. I am also displeased with the inference of your third numbered paragraph. Your ability to detect my being critical of anyone and my "tone" are simply amazing. I have lived with my dear wife for over fifty-eight years and she still does not have that ability. I know that you must be an amazing, intelligent young lady to have acquired all of the skills and attributes that you have published in your email today. In your fourth paragraph, your bold and positive statement is totally without merit, but to answer your question. Statements made in the commentary give reason. The documents give reason. The lack of documents give reason and further I do not choose to make full disclosure of all things at this time. I sure hope that the timing of my email back to you will again meet todays time frames for you because each time they are urgent. I am glad to learn how busy that you are with all of the breaking news items and I can tell that only you could "address them". In closing I will tell you that my thoughts with respect to serving the citizens of Mustang is to gather information and makeing it available to them. I have every right to request records according to law. I might suggest to you that you make the acquaintance of professor Joey Senat, Ph. D. OSU School of Journalism and Broadcasting. I look forward to many more encounters with you.

The senors living there are certainly paying all their income except 150 dollars. This gives the home pretty close to 2000 per person. I seriously think they deserve better care and the proper amt of staff to tend to the residents. I think one bath a wk is unacceptable. The Health Care system is bring in enough from each resident to more than pay for their care.

None of this surprises me. Nursing staff at long-term care homes do the best with what they have, but there are many many gaps in the care provided. Eastern Health's "staffing levels" allow for the very basics to get done and just barely. It's time that the public see just how desperate things are in our senior homes.

'Operational Improvement Initiatives'. That's bureaucratize for ' cut to the bone '. What odds if there's enough salt in the patients' diets to knock down a horse or if patients go for weeks without a bath or if they're in bed for 16 hours. Eastern Health saved $22 million in the first 3 months of 2013 and Susan Sullivan refers to 'improvement plans' ? If things keep 'improving' at places like Hoyles Escasoni, they'll have to shut 'em all down.

Late Complications and Survival of Endoprosthetic Reconstruction after Resection of Bone Tumors.
Summary of "Late Complications and Survival of Endoprosthetic Reconstruction after Resection of Bone Tumors."
While complications following massive endoprosthetic reconstruction have been previously described, the incidence and effects of these complications over extended periods of time have not been well characterized in large series. QUESTIONS/
We therefore determined: (1) incidence and types of complications; (2) relative risk of complications; (3) likelihood of secondary complications; (4) whether modularity altered such complications; (5) implant failure and limb salvage rates and (6) implant survival over extended followup.
We retrospectively reviewed 232 patients (241 implants: 50 custom,191 modular) who underwent endoprosthetic reconstruction for malignant and aggressive bone tumors between 1980 and 2002. Complications were classified as infection, mechanical, superficial soft tissue, deep soft tissue, or dislocation. Survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Minimum followup was 5 years (mean: 10 years; range: 5-27 years).
One hundred thirty-seven of 232 patients (59%) underwent a single reconstruction. Ninety-five patients had 242 additional procedures. Forty-four revised patients retained their original prosthesis. Limb salvage rate was 90%; implant failure (removal of the cemented part) was seen in 29% (70/241) with a median survival of 190 months. Twenty-five of 50 custom implants failed (8 then failed again) while 30/180 modular implants failed (7 then failed again). Of 70 instances of implant failure, 38/70 were mechanical, 27/70 infectious. Risk of infection increased 30% after a second procedure; 16 of 24 amputations were performed because of infection.
Mechanical complications were the most common cause of implant failure. Infection was the leading cause of both complication and amputation; risk of infection increased substantially with revision surgery. Modular implants had fewer mechanical complications, thus leading to fewer revisions and subsequent infections. LEVEL OF
Level III, therapeutic study. See the guidelines for authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Sainsbury's, seller of groceries and under-cutter of video game prices, has reduced the Nintendo DSi to £99.99 from £139.99.
Advertised in national newspapers this morning, this is the first of probably many cuts to the DSi in the lead up to the lovely new 3DS.
At this point Amazon.co.uk is still only offering the pink DSi for £149.99 but has a history of reacting to price cuts quickly, so expect it to reduce to an equally competitive price soon.
Nintendo recently confirmed it will cut the trade prices of the DS Lite and the DSi from June 18 to coincide with the unveiling of the 3DS. However, it didn't provide an SRP - and said it was ultimately for the retailers to decide.
With Nintendo cutting prices of the DSi maybe there may be something to the rumours that Nintendo plan to release the 3DS by Christmas.

We are looking for the best Fantasmic dinner show spot :chef: Any suggestions?? :mickeywav:
Are you referring to the Fantasmic! Dinner Package? If so, there are only 3 choices: Hollywood & Vine, Mama Melrose's, and Brown Derby.
Hollywood & Vine is the lowest cost. It is a buffet meal with a fairly good selection to choose from, good for picky eaters and kids.
Mama Melrose's is the middle-priced option. The Italian food is good, but I've found service to be spotty.
Brown Derby is the most expensive, but the food is fabulous. It's a little high-brow of a restaurant for small children, but it's quite nice for adults.
We decided on Mama Melroses and I think the date we went was 5/23/05. It was great food and the service wasnt too bad. I had the steak and it was awesome. Also not having to wait 2 hours for the show was awesome. We showed up 15 minutes before the show and got great seats. :)


text: As promised, very nice views at the top. This is an almost continuous climb, in places the solid rock was slick on the switchbacks. Even though it is open to stock, there is no way I'd ever take my horse on this trail. Not much room for horses at the top anyway!

(Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's—Child)
- The type of cell that is involved
- The patterns of growth
- Slow growing lymphomas
- Aggressive lymphomas
The Lymphatic System |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Risk Factors
- History of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
- Infections involving the immune system, such as HIV/AIDS or Epstein-Barr virus
- Chronic hepatitis C infection
- Genetic conditions, such as ataxia telangiectasia, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease, or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
- A parent had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially if they had it at an early age
- Painless swelling of the neck, underarm, groin, or any other lymph node area
- Unexplained fever
- Sore throat
- Infections
- Sweating
- Constant fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Itchy skin, especially on the legs and feet
- Bone and joint pain
- Chest pain or shortness of breath
- Blood and urine tests
- Chest x-ray —takes a picture of structures inside the chest to look for enlarged lymph nodes
- CT scan —makes pictures of structures inside the body to look for lymphomas in the abdomen, head, pelvis, chest, and neck
- Lymph node biopsy —to look for cancer
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy —a small amount of bone marrow (aspiration) and bone are removed to determine the extent of lymphoma
- Spinal tap —a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid is removed and examined to determine the extent of lymphoma
- PET scan —radioactive solution is injected into a vein so that a special camera can look for lymphoma throughout the body
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy
- Bone marrow transplantation —Bone marrow is removed, treated, and frozen. Large doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are applied to kill the cancer cells. After treatment, the bone marrow is replaced via a vein. Marrow may also be donated from a healthy donor.
- Peripheral stem cell transplant—Stem cells are very immature cells that produce blood cells. They are removed from circulating blood before chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The cells are replaced after treatment. These cells can develop new healthy cells.

Stage adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo and Mark Haddon's 2003 novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time are to form part of the National Theatre's 2012 season.
Richard Bean, who wrote One Man, Two Guvnors for the National last year, is to adapt Alexandre Dumas' novel for the Olivier Theatre. The show will be directed by Timothy Sheader, the artistic director of Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, who will be making his directorial debut at the NT. The production is to open in November and will fill the family Christmas show slot, which has previously included shows such as Coram Boy and War Horse.
Meanwhile, playwright Simon Stephens has adapted The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time to play the Cottesloe Theatre in July. Marianne Elliott will direct a cast including Una Stubbs, Luke Treadaway and Nicola Walker.
This play will run at the National during the London 2012 Olympics. Other productions programmed during this period include The Last of the Haussmans written by actor Stephen Beresford and The Doctor's Dilemma by George Bernard Shaw, both in the Lyttelton, and Nicholas Hytner's previously-announced production of Timon of Athens starring Simon Russell Beale in the title role in the Olivier.
The Last of the Haussmans, a new play, will star Julie Walters, Rory Kinnear and Helen McCrory and will be directed by Howard Davies. It opens in June.
During the Olympics, the NT will also stage National Theatre Inside Out – a festival in which "activities normally conducted inside the theatre will spill out onto the terraces and squares" alongside the annual Watch This Space programme of outdoor performance. This season of free activities will run from June 2 to September 9 and more details will be announced later this spring.
In the autumn, a new piece by Enron writer Lucy Prebble and directed by Headlong's Rupert Goold will play the Cottesloe in November after a new play by James Graham directed by Jeremy Herrin and, as revealed last week, Alan Bennett's new play People is to premiere in the Lyttelton, directed by Hytner.
The Travelex £12 ticket season in the Olivier will include Timon of Athens, a production of Antigone directed by Polly Findlay using a version of the text by Don Taylor, that will run from May 30 and Tirso de Molina's Damned for Despair in October.
Collaborators and London Road – both successes of the 2011 Cottesloe season – are to be re-staged in the Olivier.
Hytner also revealed plans for 2013 today. These include Antony Sher taking the title role in The Captain of Kopenick by Carl Zuckmayer in a production directed by Adrian Noble and a production of Othello with Adrian Lester in the title role and Rory Kinnear as Iago in late spring 2013.

Regulating ThyroidTired? It Might Be Your ThyroidMillions of Americans who experience exhaustion, chronic fatigue and an inability to concentrate have an undetected condition called hypothyroidism (a fancy way of saying you've got an under-active thyroid). Basically, what causes hypothyroidism is the lack of the mineral iodine in our diets. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland's production of the hormone thyroxin, which regulates numerous functions, most importantly metabolism. An inadequate intake of iodine can result in a wide variety of ailments, including fatigue, poor blood circulation, low sex drive, and irregular menstrual cycles--all classic symptoms of hypothyroidism. Doctors routinely overlook the thyroid as a contributing factor to health problems. |

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana ranks among America's most unhealthy states in an annual study.
America's Health Rankings lists Indiana 41st in its annual review, which was released Tuesday. The report is published by the United Health Foundation, American Public Health Association and Partnership for Prevention.
Obesity, sedentary habits, high smoking rates, low public health funding and the second-to-worst air pollution in the United States contributed to Indiana's low rank.
Indiana Public Health Association Executive Director Jerry King tells The Indianapolis Star that the low ranking is no surprise because Hoosiers traditionally don't pay serious attention to their health.
There were a few bright spots, though: Indiana fared better than other states when it came to binge drinking and the number of people who don't have health insurance.

Laughing Moon 112: Hoops and Bustles, Civil War, Dickens, Covering the years 1856—1900
This pattern contains two hoops, 3 bustles, and a bustle pad.
View A is a bell shape, meant to mimic the shape of multiple petticoats. This is the shape of medium hoops from their invention in 1856 until the "elliptic" shape of View B became popular, about 1863. It returned to popularity in 1869 to 1883, depending on the style of gown. However, for theatrical use, this shape was the popular skirt shape in the 1830's, 1840's and 1850's as well. The View B elliptic skirt was used from 1863 until about 1869. If you wear the bustle pad on top of it the shape can be taken to 1871. The term elliptic is somewhat of a misnomer as these hoops were round or nearly so.
View C, the bustle, rear hoop, and flat front were worn in the heyday of trains and bustles from 1869 to 1876. This bustle/hoop can also be worn under any gown with a train from 1883 to 1889. View D and E were popular during the bustle revival years of 1883 to 1889. A bustle pad is also included which was worn during the period when all other cages had been discarded. All hoops and bustles are copies of extant period garments.
All sizes are in the envelope. Contains easy instructions and clear illustrations on how to make the bustles and hoops. Complete information on how to work with hoop steel, multiple listings of suppliers of steel and other supplies, pattern notes, and bibliography are included. All these Victorian foundations in one pattern!!!

Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, I was somewhat sheltered before going to college. When I moved into my dorm at Maxcy my freshman year, I immediately met and became friends with a large group of diverse individuals from all across the United States. The other students in my dorm had different backgrounds and viewpoints from me, and I quickly realized that I could learn a lot from them. Being in the same situation as the other freshmen in my dorm created a bond between us, and getting to know such a wide variety of people was one of the best learning experiences I received in college. I will always appreciate that experience and appreciate the South Carolina Honors College giving me the opportunity to have that experience.

CLA is a newly recognized supplement derived from natural sunflower oil. Years of research at the University of Wisconsin indicate that CLA may help "partition" the way energy is stored and utilized by actually "switching" calories to healthy muscle tissue�resulting in a reduction of body fat and an increase in muscle tone. CLA has been shown to play a vital role in reducing body fat and increasing muscle retention according to preliminary human studies, laboratory and animal testing.
CLA or conjugated linoleic acid is found naturally in a variety of foods. Over the past decade, however, our changing dietary patterns have diminished those foods high in CLA content. Now Natrol's Tonalin CLA offers a rich source of conjugated linoleic acid from the oil of the sunflower to supplement the diet naturally.
Gelatin, glycerin, water, colored with caramel, mixed tocopherols (as preservative).
Take 1 softgel, three times daily, with a meal.

Mr. Torvalds Goes to Washington
Once again, the US Chapter of DECUS, the DEC Users Group, is bringing Linus Torvalds, famous for his work with Linux (and for feeding Australian penguins) to the Spring US DECUS Symposium. This event is scheduled for the week of May 6-11 at the convention center in Washington DC.
Unlike what we did at the Spring `94 Symposium in New Orleans (where Linus gave a couple of technical talks), we are planning an entire day of Linux-related sessions on Wednesday, and a half-day seminar by Linus himself on Thursday. The Linux stream and seminar are going to be specially priced to make them easier to attend. In addition, we are going to have several Linux systems available in the UNIX SIG Campground, as well exhibits from a variety of Linux vendors.
Why should you be interested in this conference? Well, Linux does run on a large number of the PC platforms that Digital sells and supports. In addition, Digital (and Linus) are working on a port of Linux to the Alpha AXP architecture (imagine your Linux system running at 300+ MIPS). Digital has announced that an advance developer's kit (ADK) for the Digital Alpha PC is available on gatekeeper.pa.dec.com. One of the scheduled sessions deals with that porting effort.
Why else? Well, this is a rare opportunity to see and listen to Linus Torvalds, outside of Europe and Down-Under. Combine that with the rest of what is being offered at the Spring 95 US DECUS Symposium, and you have a conference well worth attending.
For additional information on the Spring `95 DECUS US Symposium is available in the US DECUS home page at www.decus.org, or request a registration kit by sending e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or giving the DECUS office a call at 1-800-DECUS-55.
Kurt Reisler (email@example.com) is the Chair of the DECUS UNIX SIG, the captain of the UNISIG International Luge Team, and a collector of teddy bears. Although he has been running Linux for only a year, he has been involved with UNIX for the past 18 years.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This thing is in my lawn (which happens to be near my garden beds) and is invading. Unfortunately the beds are already established to round up is not an option. How can I kill this thing in my lawns (and in the beds it is in) without killing my other plants? |

for the lawn.. use 100% round up in the very expensive.. high tech container at the link ... drip a few drops on each plant and just keep at it for however long it takes ... what you can do.. is take a handful ... grab it.. pull it up .... use scissors.. and one drip on each cut ... the other alternative with RU.;. is to get a spray tank.. and practice with water.. until you can make BIG DROPLETS come out of the nozzle end... gravity makes them fall to the earth.. to many peeps think RU is french perfume.. and atomize it under too much pressure.. and go figure.. it floats on the air ... anyway.. droplets are a function of how many pumps ... pressure.. and the nozzle adjustment from mist to drops... and when you get real good.. you can add trigger pressure .. just practice with water on the driveway.. until you understand how your tools works... and then properly dilute the RU for the application .... [the full strength stuff can be returned to the properly labeled container for storage ] and with a training plant like this.. you dont need to saturate the whole.... i bet 60% coverage.. will kill up to 95% of it .... and that is all i try for.. on my first spray ... and then i come back in a week.. and do the rest ... you will be needing to reseed the lawn in fall ... so even at worse... come late august.. just kill the lawn and all .... and reseed in fall ... ken |

Ha ha ha I have never been able to get rid of it entirely. Impossible. |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a N CT (My Page) on Sat, May 10, 14 at 17:44
I gave up trying when it grew up, over and on top of my bark mulch. The only thing I've found that even slows it down is deeply "ditching" the edges of my garden beds. |
It's taken over most of my lawn and I've been fighting it for years. You just have to keep pulling it away from your beds. |
I have had success with Weed B Gone (Max?). I mix it a bit stronger than recommended and spot spray a few times each season. Charlie doesn't curl up and die like a dandelion. It takes a while. It seems that the winter cold helps finish him off. There is no easy solution for this weed. The good news is that it does pull out quite easily from a mulched bed. The bad news is that a little can spread a long way in one season. |
Yep, Weed Be Gone works in the lawn. Roundup would also kill any grass you have, so don't use that there. In beds, just keep pulling it out as you see it or use spot treatments of Roundup. Kevin |
I am trying to fight back with regular pulling, but Charlie just laughs. It's very frustrating! |
I had it in a large area of a garden bed. I was fortunate in that it was a bed with mainly trees and shrubs with a bit of space, so I was able to use a stirrup hoe in the entire area, and by really cutting in deep down with the hoe, I have eradicated it........in that area. It's in other beds of mine where I just pull by hand all season long since there are so many perennials in those beds. At least it's fairly easy to pull. Thanks for the info above about taking care of it in the lawn. |
I redid my entire front yard (1 acre) a few years back. Since then creeping charlie has taken over about 1/2 of it. I tried the most common weed killers found on the Internet, including Weed Be Gone Max. Nothing seemed to work. It was so bad this year, I felt I only had 2 options .. Round Up or plow it under and start over. I tried R/U on part of the lawn, which after about 1 week, has killed the grass, but only injured the C/C. Then I found another product, recommended for C/C, etc., to be used on turf. I bought a small quantity of this product to try, as it's expensive. The next day after application, the C/C was looking pretty sick. By about day 3, it was dead (or so it has appeared). I ordered a gallon and have sprayed the entire lawn. The remaining C/C and dandelions are once again looking sick, after 24 hours. This is the only product, which has killed the C/C and saved the lawn.The product is PBI Gordon's Speed Zone, bought from Pestrong.Com! I now, have to till and reseed the areas, where I applied R/U. |

I have a ton of it too. I comfort myself by watching the bees -- they love it, so it's at least good for something. |

The Prophet says: âWhen any of you wakes up in the morning he should say: âWe have come into this morning when all dominion belongs to God, the Lord of all worlds. My Lord! I appeal to You to grant me the goodness of this day: its gifts, help, light, blessing and guidance; and I seek Your shelter from any evil in it or in the days to comeâ. When the evening approaches he should say the same.â
People live in a dark cave whose walls are made of their own real or imaginary problems. It is sad to find intelligent minds unable to see further than the walls of such a cave and beating hearts feeling nothing other than the darkness of such a narrow cave. Muhammad, Godâs messenger who knows his Lord well denounces such humiliating isolation. He says: âEvery morning a caller addresses mankind, saying: âO You creatures! Glorify the Holy Sovereignâ.
What I would like to say here is that it appears that only Muhammadâs heart has listened to this caller who urges mankind to tear away the curtains that keep them in ignorance and turn back toward God, the Holy Sovereign of the universe. His creative reminders are the result of his absorbing glorification of God and keen awareness of His greatness.
The great majority of scholars do not consider it a duty of a Muslim to repeat the glorifications and supplications we have quoted or will be quoting. They are only recommended. This is certainly true. However, I feel that it is necessary to reflect at length on such glorifications and passionate supplications when oneâs heart is slackening and the relation with God weakens. They are highly effective in giving us the right concept of God and making us aware of the significance of His great attributes.
When faith is not based on enlightened vision it is ineffective. When conviction is only marginal, it cannot control behavior or keep wanton desire in check. Indeed, the Prophetâs companions were able to attain the summit of faith and change the course of history, replacing constitutions and morality with what were infinitely better ones, only because they were close to the Prophet, watching his life and guided by his light. They thus allowed his exemplary sincerity and love of God to fill their hearts as they filled his. Such is human nature. To my mind, listening to the Prophet as he addressed his supplication, and feeling his emotion as he appealed to God are bound to enlighten hearts and minds, motivating them to draw closer to God.
This type of glorification and supplication is only recommended, not a duty. But there is a measure of close contact with God that is a binding duty. This is related to the mosque and obligatory prayers. It is a duty incumbent on every Muslim to stand before God five times in every 24 hours to perform our obligatory prayers. Offering them in congregation in the mosque may be either a duty or an urged recommendation. The place of the mosque in Muslim society is high indeed. People who are careless about their prayers may find talking about it strange, because they prefer to pursue their desires.
With the first light of dawn Muslims aim toward the mosque. To strengthen their resolve the Prophet says: âGive those who walk to the mosque in the darkness of the night the happy news that they will have perfect light on the Day of Judgment.â And we read in the Qurâan: âOn the day when you see all believers, men and women, with their light spreading rapidly before them and to their right.â (57: 12) âThey will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us and forgive us. You certainly have power over all things.â (66: 8) ¬

No Carsland Announcement today at "Around Our World"
Carsland was NOT announced today at the "Around Our World" presentation and still remains a rumor for the time being, possibly until the 2013 D23 Expo in August. However, they did talk about Avatar and it is definitely a go but still remains in the very early planning stages.

I thought it was a decent movie, but not crazy about. Honestly, I never have been big on it coming to Disney Parks. I am still up and down about it. If they have more movies coming out, then it will probably be ok for Disney to movie forward with. If Disney does it, then it may be pretty cool though. Either way I am neither excited or mad about it. I am neutral!

People rip Avatar Land because they didn't like the movie, that's it, without even trying to understand the reasoning that actually makes Pandora a pretty good vehicle for imaginative people to make something beautiful (whether this disney has the balls to step up remains to be seen). Dismissing it out of hand because "I didn't like the movie" is a pretty small attack and not much of a starting place for productive discussion, is it? The movie Avatar is irrelevant if your focus is on a theme park and its attractions and as far as the creativity of the land goes. Do you think you have to have loved Cars or Harry Potter to appreciate the respective theme park lands? |

Just a few more things. You claim that you don't think DAK's education programs are up to par with many other zoos, but how would you know? You said yourself that you don't go to DAK for the educational experience; you go for the rides. And there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself, except when you try to comment on the conservation programs that you yourself claim you have not paid much attention to. Indeed, judging by your lack of awareness regarding DAK's conservation education programs as well as the work that went into tying the architecture and attractions into the encompassing conservation theme, I'd say you have too little experience to be so harshly judging the facility's merits. Simply watching the animals interact at DAK, as you say, does not grant you a great amount of perception about the unique conservation efforts going on all around the park, both onstage and offstage. You agreed with me that the people who work at DAK are some of the best in the animal business; at the end of the day, isn't that what's most important? I recall a certain quote from a certain man who would agree. Combined with huge, expansive enclosures and facilities, world-class animal care and veterinary services, a robust conservation research institute, and a diverse, highly passionate education team, DAK is pretty high up there (my opinion, of course!) I just find it ironic how you seem to think you can judge DAK's programs when you say you haven't even paid attention to them, nor have you worked in Disney's Animal Programs and seen what I've seen in terms of the daily operations backstage (the ARK Institute backstage, for instance, is an amazing conservation facility for some of the most endangered birds in the world, located backstage to be away from the stress of crowds. I was lucky enough to visit, and it's simply incredible!) Also, the fact that you desire a nighttime show at DAK also might say something about your lack of knowledge regarding animal care. The whole reason they haven't put in a nighttime show is because the light and noise would startle and stress the animals. Plus, Disney purposely closes the park earlier than the others (and doesn't have much in the way of nighttime lighting) because they want to give the animals more chance to rest, as well as more time for the keepers to clean, work, and perform training and veterinary sessions. You don't see that sort of consideration and care at Sea World, San Diego Zoo, or Busch Gardens: all of which have fireworks shows either in the summer or year-round and feature loud late-night entertainment. (And don't try to bring the whole nocturnal argument into this, as there are many, many species at all of these facilities that are diurnal and/or require up to 20 hours of sleep per day). DAK truly places the animals before the guests in this regard, and I think it's great that they do so. Unless your idea of a show is considerably low-key, low-light or perhaps indoors or ridiculously far outside of the park berm, you really have no consideration for the care of the animals. And there's no way I'd know if you were considering those show options, now that I've already mentioned them.
Forgive me if this sounds a bit implicative and presumptuous from my part, but in all honesty, that's the impression I got from your posts. Especially since you said yourself that you don't spend any time exploring the conservation and education offerings at the park. You might say that they simply didn't jump out at you or grab your attention, and I think that would be a somewhat fair assessment. Disney does a fair amount to try to put the message out there, such as putting conservation messages throughout Kilimanjaro Safaris (the queue video as well as the ride). And the education program I was a part of actively tries to engage guests by approaching with cool biofacts and conservation props, as well as conversation hooks to try and draw more people in, but we could always do better. Believe me though, it takes skill to attract attention away from Everest at park opening at the Asia KDC, but we did it. In fact, we often got a surprising amount of families who would rush to us first thing in the morning to complete their Conservation Hero activity books. We even caught the attention of plenty of rope-drop folk who were originally rushing to the foreboding mountain, only to have their eye caught by our activity centers; they always left genuinely surprised and appreciative of our activities and knowledge! And for the rest who continued on to the mountain first, many I would recognize running back over to us right after they finished their ride! In the Conservation Education internship, we were expected to be able to relate everything to a conservation message, even it seemed completely unrelated. Because honestly, you can always find a way to connect everyday life with conservation. In fact, our creativity in finding conservation messages for guests was a main criteria for our evaluation. We were encouraged to use our own experiences and ideas and apply them out in the park. We had weekly meetings where we would share our messages with fellow interns to increase our knowledge. In fact, we were always praised by our managers when we managed to smoothly connect a conservation message to a seemingly unrelated topic, because it takes a certain amount of skill and thought to do so. Any and everyway we could transition to a conservation message, we were expected to take advantage of it (being friendly and respectful about it, of course. If a guest-in-a-hurry came up to me asking for directions so as not to miss his dinner reservation, I wasn't going to give him a conservation earful first!) I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of freedom afforded to us to really make a personal connection with guests and to use our own material, so long as it fell under the conservation guidelines. Sure, we were given a packet with many suggestions on how to connect conservation messages. But we were evaluated on how we expanded upon and created our own messages, as well as how smoothly we tailored said messages to the audience. And most guests really appreciated the time we took to suggest new ways to conserve. We weren't selling anything. We weren't holding them to anything. We weren't manipulating them. And we weren't being dogmatic or claiming that our beliefs were "sacred". We were just offering suggestions for people to take part in practical, fun, family-friendly conservation that everybody can do at home. Got a nice big backyard? Try building a backyard habitat, such as a pond to attract frogs and birds. Don't have the time or space? Try getting a flower pot, turning it on it's side, and now you have a nice, cozy toad abode! Discovered a new favorite animal today? Learn all you can about it at today and check out some books about it at your local library when you return home. Then you can become an animal ambassador by educating your friends and family about it. Here's an example of how I could take a seemingly non-conservation themed attraction such as Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade and easily make a conservation method out of it, even for a guest who isn't an animal-lover. "Seeing the colorful, beautiful, larger-than-life animal floats inspires and excites us. Many cultures across the world incorporate animals into their celebrations, folklore, and art, such as the intricate animal figures handcrafted by the people of Oaxaca, Mexico. Did you know that you can see real Oaxacan animal art in the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot? Be sure to check it out!" It's been three years since I've visited WDW, so I'm not actually sure if the Oaxacan art is still there in the Mexico Pavilion. Regardless, it's just an example of how flexible and effective conservation messages can be. I didn't urge the guest to take any direct action like recycling or donating to a wildlife conservation fund; instead, I combined culture and art with animals to create a subtle connection to wildlife appreciation for the guest. It's not just about what you practice, it's about what you feel. By taking me up on my suggestion, the guest just might develop an appreciation for animals that wasn't there before. The first step to conservation action is sparking that initial emotional attachment; a person is not going to want to help wildlife if they don't first have that connection! I may have just initiated that, and in the process, I also promoted the synergy between two parks, perhaps providing the guest with an interesting new quest to embark on when they next visit Epcot and enhancing their vacation! Could the guest do that at your local zoo? Doubtful, unless there's a museum nearby with authentic Oaxacan art or he visits Oaxaca in person. Even if that were the case, there are few places in the world where he could see the parade, hop on a short bus ride, and be able to experience such authentic cultural artwork like that. See, it's not just about DAK, it's also the awesome ability to synergize between the parks that further enhances the overall conservation experience that you can't get anywhere else (and Epcot is very sustainability and conservation-friendly too, especially at the Seas and Land Pavilions!) And note that the guest doesn't even have to be an animal lover to appreciate this message! What's more is that my Disney education managers would appreciate a message like that, because I managed to take an attraction that is seemingly unrelated to conservation and turn it into a creative message that's more personal and interesting than simply practicing the "4 R's" (the 4th "R" being "Replenish"; before Disney, I only knew the "3 R's"!) That's a far cry from "going rogue" and "abandoning corporate ideals", as you say. Heck, at the end of the internship, we were urged to take what we learned and apply it back home and wherever our profession takes us. That's actually a common thing in the conservation field, as well as broader field of science education: the sharing of knowledge and techniques. It's why DAK hosts many conservation education seminars and its scientists like Dr. Anne Savage contribute to groundbreaking published science around the world. We'll never stop being advocates for "wildlife and wild places." So that whole bit about "abandoning corporate ideals to promote my own agenda?" Think again. Because if I'm "going rogue", then I'm glad Disney taught me right. Again folks, Happy Holidays and if you're heading to the World this month, I urge you to make some time to visit DAK. They may not have quite as many decorations and holiday theming as the other parks, but they have some nice, unique holiday touches with a distinctive Animal Kingdom flair. For instance, Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade is a blast! Last edited by Red24Red30; 12-12-2012 at 12:01 AM. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Katie!
Facts about Katie
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Beagle Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Katie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Katie is a lovely and smart girl! She is crate trained and house trained and uses a doggy door. Katie loves to play with her doggy toys too. She loves everyone, kids, cats, other dogs. She would make a wonderful addition to your family. Katie's $85 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, rabies tag, heartworm test, and 1st month's flea/tick & heartworm preventative. Please complete an adoption application at www.sarocks.org, or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to make this dog part of your family!
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a San Antonio Labrador Retriever/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Beagle for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Beagle dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Antonio breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Beagle breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

[1117] The Utility of Circulating Tumor Cells in Monitoring Patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
DW Kindelberger, U Matulonis. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA; Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA
Background: Introduction: Epithelial ovarian cancer is diagnosed in approximately 22,000 women every year in the United States. Over 16,000 deaths per year occur, making this cancer the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. The number of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood before treatment is an independent predictor of survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer. In patients with ovarian cancer, the prognostic significance of circulating tumor cells is unclear, and investigators report conflicting results. We examined the utility of immumagnetically isolated circulating tumor cells (CTCs), captured using the CellSearch System by Veridex, in predicting response to treatment in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
Design: Fifty consecutive patients with known recurrent ovarian cancer were selected as part of an IRB-approved study at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Circulating tumor cells were isolated according to standard protocols for the Veridex CellSearch System. Briefly, 7.5 ml of blood was collected in Cell Save Vacutainer tubes. Blood samples were processed within 36 hours of collection by dilution with buffer, followed by a low-speed (800xg) centrifugation in a Beckman table-top centrifuge. Samples were then immediately processed with the CellTracks Autoprep instrument using the Epithelial Cell Kit. Following processing, tumor cells were enumerated using the CellTracks Analyzer. Clinical data, including CA-125 levels, type of chemotherapy regimen, and clinical course were correlated with the number of CTCs.
Results: The average number of CTCs obtained using the CellSearch system was quite low (2 CTCs/sample). The number of CTCs failed to correlate with CA-125 levels, type or duration of chemotherapy, or clinical course.
Conclusions: In patients with recurrent ovarian cancers (predominantly high grade serous adenocarcinoma) the recovery of CTCs using the CellSearch system is very poor, possibly due to the low rates of hematogenous spread for these tumors. As a consequence of thses low numbers of recovered cells, the absolute CTC counts do not show any correlation with CA-125 levels, type or duration of chemotherapy, or disease progression. Unlike the scenario seen with some other epithelial tumor types, (breast, prostate, colorectal cancers), the number of CTCs determined by the Veridex CellSearch System does not seem to be clinically a useful marker for patients with recurrent ovarian cancers.

Dover Town Hall, Biggin Street, Dover, Kent CT16 1DL
A magnificent suite of four beautiful historic rooms to seat from 10 to 500 guests, Dover Town Hall is a unique historical setting for special occasions and popular venue for civil marriage ceremonies.
Managed by Your Leisure, this is the largest function hall in the District with a number of rooms for hire throughout the year.
Full catering service is available.
The main entrance to the building is accessed via a flight of steps, please telephone the Town Hall if you need to make use of the lift.
Connaught Hall was originally opened in 1880's as a concert and meeting hall very much Victorian with pillars and balconies and a magnificent dance floor.
The hall is currently used regularly for tea dances, exhibition, concerts, dinner/dances and shows.
The hall can seat 500 theatre style for a show or concert and 300 cabaret style for dinner/dances with a good size dance floor.
A magnificent room added to the end of the Stone Hall in 1867.
This room was formally a debating chamber and the original furniture is normally kept in that style.
The Cinque Ports Bailiffs Banner over the Mayor's chair along with paintings, charters and books of Remembrances all relate to the history of Dover.
This room can be used for meetings, seminars and even luncheons for up to 35 people.
The chamber is also licensed for civil wedding ceremonies.
Stone Hall is the oldest and most grand of all the rooms. Originally founded in 1203 and refurbished in 1853 by William Burges.
The windows are a wonderful example of Victorian stained glass and depict six Lord Wardens of the Cinque Ports in scenes from Dover's past.
The hall is complete with flags and banners of the Cinque Ports, arms and armour and portraits of former dignitaries of Dover.
With its high roof the hall is a wonderful setting for banquets, seating 300, receptions, exhibitions and civil wedding ceremonies.
The Mayors Parlour, resplendent with a large round table and furniture styled by William Burges, was added to the Maison Dieu in the 1880's.
The room was for the use of the Town Mayor and the Charter Trustees.
