Gosh, I am trying to learn a bit about lighting. What are the best brands out there for light fixtures? Not that I would be able to afford them, but at least if maybe I get some idea of what top line is, I can go down (probably way way way down) from there....
In particular, for instance, what might be a top brand of semi-flush fixtures, for say a hallway ceiling (i.e., these types http://search.arcadianlighting.com/refined.aspx?filter=3,69,49) Thank you, |

Your question is too general to generate helpful reponses. What kinds of fixtures are you looking for: floor lamps, sconces, chandeliers, halogen lighting, etc.? While there are many good brands, in my opinion, light fixtures are one of the most over-priced products out there and you can really overspend if you stick with only namebrands. What you need to look for are two things: 1) an Underwiters Laboratory sticker (which means that the fixture meets safety standards), and 2) that a fixture looks like it's of adequate quality (Do the parts fit together well? Are metal parts of heavier gauge metal? Do finishes look rich or cheesey?) I have a wealthy friend who just remodeled and spent $10,000 on fixtures. I have no doubt I could have found equivalent fixtures for him for less than 1/10 of that amount. So...look for bargains, inspect the fixtures, and go with your gut. |
I buy almost all of my home lighting from Alluminare. I love the fact that I can design them myself, right online, before I buy them. I'm a big fan of being able to customize things. |

If you want the best brands your talking Fine Art Lamps, Maitland and Smith and Savoy House, the Euro collection. Depends on what your looking for. I've done houses and had people spend 90k on just lighting or done and 8000sq house for 8k just depends what you want. FAL is the Gucci of the lighting world, however Kalco is a great iron brand, Savoy also makes nice stuff in the middle price. Maxim is one of the better low end brands. What Style? |

hey bigdog, you sound like you know something about lighting! We are doing complete reno and right now in search of black wrought iron outdoor wall mount lanterns, we need Fluorescent (in California) and searching for a frosted or very seedy glass (my husband doesn't like seeing the lightbulbs or direct light) Love the Fine Art stuff...but nothing really black. Looked through Savoy and no luck also. Saw one that we liked through Minka Lavery, but quality wasn't as nice as Fine Art....Also liked one from Artistic Lighting, but it wasn't fluorescent. I'll check out the Kalco, but if you have any other options, please feel free to throw them my way! Thanks. |
Framburg, Hubbardton Forge, Hudson Valley for lights. And Casablanca for ceiling fans. Best value and the one I'd recommend is Elements Lighting, Golden is good, Jeremiah is good too. |
In my opinion, some the best manufacturers are Flos and Artemide, I often check out their new models on Interior Deluxe. Casablanca are also very creative, but I prefer mostly contemporary lighting and don't like the retro designs. |
We have 4 flush mount ceiling LED light fixtures from Costco . Costco will take them back if you don't like them for any reason. We tried one, loved it and went back for more. The LED light is perfect. Not too harsh, not yellow, and not too cold either. Try one in your space that you need and if you don't like it , take it back. We tried other ones from other lighting stores who let us try the fixtures and for the value these were the best for our needs. At one instance we had 3 different brands on at the same time to compare , yes we were that obsessed to get the lighting right for our needs. We have had the lights for many months now and very satisfied. hth :) |

Rajevac asked for the midfielder to be sent home before the intervention of captain Stephen Appiah and GFA president Kwasi Nyanetekyie prevented that.
Muntari then said sorry to Rajevac infront of the rest of the team before coming on in the second half of the 0-1 defeat at the hands of Germany.
"We had a meeting because he wasn't happy with certain things because after the game against Australia definitely we were supposed to win the game but couldn't, so there was a little bit of frustration in the changing room but all went well," he told SkySports News.
"So you saw he made me play so everything is cool in the camp, our morale, everything is great, we are happy and we want to do well."
Muntari's rants threatened to mar what had until then been a quiet camp with the Ghana Football Association issuing a statement to say his actions had broken the team's code of conduct.
GFA president Kwesi Nyantekyie said after the loss to Germany he did not simply want to discuss the matter. "Muntari is a subject I don't want to discuss. We are having a good tournament and I don't want to spend time talking about individuals."

Received enormous, extremely healthy Dendrobium Dream Ace yesterday from Carmela Orchids that has 6 very healthy keikis on the canes. Three of the keikis have roots 6-8" long with green growing tips, and 3 keikis have roots between 2-4" long with thinner roots that have no green tip. Have been growing orchids for a year. Should I leave all the keikis on the plant till spring, plant the ones with the green tips now or pot all the keikis this fall? Have done well repotting other orchids, even divided a Catt or two, but have never planted a keiki. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Diane Keith |
Follow-Up Postings:
Assuming that you have a Softcane/nobile type Dendrobium.... the best time to take the keikis off and pot them up is spring. This is because this type of orchid is about to go into rest mode in Autumn and will probably not grow any new roots if repotted now. Tag should read Dendrobium Dream 'Ace'. |
- Posted by petite_orange z9LA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 12, 09 at 14:03
Dendrobium Dream is one of the Yamamoto hybrids; it should be very, very easy to keep growing and blooming. Good score! If it were my plant, I would leave the keikis on it pretty much indefinitely. If you repot or put it in a basket (a very small pot or basket) when blooming is finished next year, if the keikis really bug you, you could tack them to the edges of the pot/basket with a hairpin or something. I'd just leave them, they add to the plant's lush, crazy look. Someday, when you go to a plant swap (or find somebody on this list to swap with), those keikis will be prime trading material. Easy to grow, blooms small. The Yamamoto site recommends a slight lessening of water in winter, with no fertilizer, and high light levels. This type of hybrid generally will not lose all of its leaves over the winter, but if it does, don't toss it! It's fixin' to bud out. Have fun - Nancy |
Thank you so much for the responses. The orchid forum is a great source of information.I think I will leave the keikis on the plant. The Dendrobium Dream 'Ace' is in a 6 inch wooden basket and is very full and healthy.I think Carmelas Orchids is a great place to buy orchids. Good to know the dendrobium is a Yamamoto hybrid. Thank you both for the info. Sincerely, Diane Keith |

Mass. gov: Video shows bomb suspect dodging blast
Submitted by Patsfan on Sun, 04/21/2013 - 19:51- Login to post comments

WTF is this from the article? Younger bro's backpack black?
I thought it was grey or white. Here's what the article states,
"Investigators have determined the bombs were fashioned from pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings and hidden in black backpacks. Three people were killed and more than 180 injured when the two bombs exploded Monday about four hours into the race."
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Just Cause 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 22.214.171.124
Timedemo or Level Used: Dark Tower
Developer Homepage: http://www.eidos.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.justcause.com/
Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause. The game is set on the other side of the world from the original Just Cause, on the fictional island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Panau has varied terrain, from desert to alpine to rainforest. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront his former mentor, Tom Sheldon.
Just Cause 2 sees a nice bump in performance and we've got strong numbers at 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1200. As we move to 2560 x 1600 we see a small bump, but overall we're still a good way away from that 60 FPS average we need at the highest resolution for a smooth gaming experience.

It all started a couple months ago when Atherton Dining Hall started replacing its hot sauce with Siracha sauce. I reluctantly tried it and instantly fell in love. It had such a spice I never tasted before and it soon became my newest obsession. I started putting it on all my food! Heck, if I could put it in my water I could but don't worry I haven't gone that far yet. According to the Huffington Post, it's the newest trend in healthy eating sauces so it looks like I'm on to something. Who knew Atherton would get me obsessed with something!?
Speaking of new obsessions, so I've previously chronicled how I'm a hipster now and one of the ways I've been doing it is by reading the website Pitchfork. Pitchfork is a snooty website that reviews new independent music and is like every hipster's Bible and I love it. I read it every day for new hipster music news and reviews just to feel pretentious when I like the music they like. So basically this break, for me, has been full of nothing but Siracha and Pitchfork.

Chevrolet hasn't revealed how much the Z06 Carbon will cost, but, thanks to leaked 2011 Corvette pricing, you should be able to spec a Z06 just like one for under $90,000. The Z07 performance package, which outfits a standard Z06 with the Carbon's Brembo brakes, Michelin tires, and fancy magnetic dampers, costs $9495. The CFZ package, which adds carbon-fiber bodywork, adds $3995. And the 2011 Z06's price? Like the base model and Grand Sport, it increases by $20, now costing $74,895.
This pricing information comes from Corvette Blogger, who claims to have received it Kerbeck Corvette, a dealer in New Jersey.
A base Corvette coupe is still under the $50,000 mark after destination, at $49,540. A Grand Sport coupe isn't far off, at $55,380. And the herculean ZR1, for 2011, now totals $110,390 after its $2920 price bump.
That Z06 Carbon replica? Take the Z06, add Z07 and CFZ packages, and you're at $88,385. That's assuming, of course, Chevy won't require you to pick items like the $7170 3LZ premium equipment group, and so on.
The options list follows: C2L Roof Package - Includes Painted and Glass Tops $1,400 CC3 Glass Roof instead of Painted Roof $750 CCR Special order option $0 CFZ Z06 Carbon Fiber Package $3,995 D30 Color Combination Override $590 F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control - Grand Sports $1,695 F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control - Coupe/Conv $1,995 H33 Cyber Gray Metallic Headlamp Override $590 H34 Blade Silver Metallic Headlamp Override $590 H35 Black Headlamp Override $590 J55 Cross Drilled Brake Rotors $500 MN6 6-Speed Manual Transmission $0 MXO 6-Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission $1,250 NPP Dual Mode Exhaust $1,195 PYD Grand Sport Competition Gray Wheels $395 PYE Grand Sport Chrome Wheels $1,995 Q44 Z06 Competition Gray Wheels $395 Q6B ZR1 Chrome Wheels $2,000 Q6J ZR1 Competition Gray Wheels $395 Q76 Z06 Original Chrome 10 spoke Wheels $1,495 Q8A Z06 Spider Chrome Wheels $1,995 Q9V Chrome 5 Spoke Wheels - Coupe and Conv Only $1,850 QX1 Split Spoke Competition Gray Wheels $395 R8C Museum Delivery $490 U3U Navigation 6.5" Screen $1,795 US9 6 Disc CD Changer $395 Z07 Z06 Ultimate Performance Package $9,495 Z15 Grand Sport Heritage Package $1,195 **6 Two-Tone Seating $695 36S Custom Leather Stitching - Yellow $395 37S Custom Leather Stitching - Blue $395 38S Custom Leather Stitching - Red $395 0B1 Cross Flag Embroidery on Headrests $300 28U Inferno Orange Metiallic $300 45U Velocity Yellow Premium Tintcoat $850 85U Jetstream Blue Premium Tintcoat $850 89U Crystal Red Premium Tintcoat $850 GLB Supersonic Blue Metallic $300

This delicate cultivar is another example of touchable foliage.
Thick soft, green fern-like foliage covers the entire branchlets and turns a warm burnt orange in the fall. 'Peve Minaret' will reach 6 feet tall by 3 feet wide in 10 years if given its ideal conditions of full sun and wet soil. Zone 5-9. Dave |

Dave, this one is was found as a dwarf seedling selection by Piet Vergeldt from The Netherlands. His advise is to cut it back it's side branches heavy when the plants are getting older so a very nice dense full habit will arise. If I were you I should do this in the beginning of next Spring... |

I think whatever snow load or ice you normally get should be considered when pruning. You have to prune to accommodate it or you'll end up with a mess. My unpruned Bald Cypress looks so bad from heavy, wet snow caused breakage I'm considering taking it down. Mike |
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Wed, Jul 13, 11 at 9:56
Yep, Mike is right, you'll never forgive yourself if it's damaged by heavy snow fall. Ken, you're also a bit right, from a distance they look in summer like a normal arb but when you're getting closer you'll see a nice dense Taxodium with a very special texture... |

A beautiful little Corps of Engineers park. Lot's of trees and grass, asphalt pads and roads in fair to good condition, steel fire rings, covered picnic tables on concrete slabs, HUGE camping spaces, many lakefront spots. Dump station near entrance. If you have your own bathroom and shower, I'd give it a 10. If you don't, probably a 6. The vault toilet on our end of the park is old, smelly, and not especially clean. No showers on this end. However, there is a modern shower and toilet facility under construction and looks like it could be available any day now. - Sonic
This park was so clean & quite. Tons of space between sites, and I do mean tons. The Park Hosts were very friendly and knew a lot about the area. The lake level was low, as are most lakes in North Texas right now. Beautiful oak trees throughout the park. This is truly a place to relax, take a walk, or just do nothing. Great park for a vacation or just a weekend home away from home. - Chayes

This is what I would want to know if I were staying at this COE campground. If you use Google Maps to find the campground it will lead you down a dead end road. I would estimate that a very small percentage of sites in this park are level. One of the major problems on the COE reservation website is that you can't tell what kind of site you are committing to. I would recommend that you call before coming to make sure you will fit. Site 56 is much smaller than stated on their website and us up hill. You will not be able to level a class A motorhome. We checked in for a 14 day stay that included Memorial Day weekend. When we pulled up the attendant notified us that he didn't think we would fit in site 56. I called the 1-800 at www.recreation.gov and ask if they could find us another site after the Memorial Day weekend that we could move to. Once inside the park the 1-800 can't help you. I ask if the park attendants could find us another site after the Memorial Day weekend. Other things to know are that most Texas lakes are very low, beaches aren't the same, boating isn't the same, etc. This campground is also very near to a military base. This means jets and helicopters as late as 11PM at your quiet campfire. We would not use the showers or the bathroom. One of the urinals would overflow and dump all over the floor. One of the showers drains was completely plugged and overflowing. Had not been cleaned or maintained for some time. - roadfreedom
We stayed here in a 40' motorhome on site 072. Nice 100' pull thru with a nice lake view. The sites where we were had excellent spacing between them, but, again, check your particular site before reserving. Our Millenicom WIFI had 4G and Verizon 4 bars. The electric and water pressure were good. The one drawback I see with this particular park is that they are now using Volunteers instead of Contracted personnel on the front gate and because of this, you can no longer drive up without a reservation and get a campsite thru the front gate personnel; you have to call Recreation.gov and make your own reservations; this also goes for making any changes to an existing reservation; these Volunteers cannot get into the Corp of Engineers reservation computer system. We would definitely stay here again - Tiffinatic
Rate is with the Federal Senior Pass. We loved our site #73. It's on a loop with only one other site. It was a large pull through and right on the lake. I would give this park a higher rating if it had sewer. One note: We tried the showers but even with the water running for a few minutes it remained cold. Maybe because it was early in the season and not used enough? Not the best shower rooms we've been in at a COE by a long shot. Be aware gates are locked at 11 and open 6 am. - phyllen

text: Now is the time in Sprockets when we run for the hills with big, bad studio lawyers chasing us. In an unprecedented move for a major studio, Universal is suing Mike Myers for backing out of his plans to bring his turtleneck-wearing Saturday Night Live character Dieter to the big screen. According to the juicy lawsuit, filed June 5, the studio alleges Myers demanded a huge post-Austin Powers salary hike from $10 to $20 million, and more of the back end. The suit also says that Myers suddenly called a May 30 meeting to inform the studio he was ''abandoning the project in midstream,'' claiming ''the script which he himself cowrote and over which he had complete and unfettered control is no longer acceptable to him...'' Universal responded with a blitzkrieg, seeking actual and consequential damages it's already spent $3.8 million on preproduction during which Jack Black and David Hasselhoff were hired as costars. The suit also demands Myers not work on other projects for several months. The actor plans to countersue, saying in a statement, ''The question has always been can Sprockets move beyond a sketch into a full-length feature. Despite my greatest efforts, I have yet to achieve that. I cannot in good conscience accept $20 million and cheat moviegoers...with an unacceptable script.''

The popular understanding of Zen philosophy is that it is painfully frustrating, contrived and lies outside the realm of rational discourse.

"Priscilla" is afaik an older hybrid, and I even found it attributed "heirloom" elsewhere. I strongly recommend it, I am in awe not only about its beauty, but also about its general growth characteristica - it stands straight like a (tin) soldier and its leaves are strong, broad swords. Enjoy "my version" this is actually my vey first Gladiolas in my own garden! The whole truth is that I would raise the corms in buckets filled with best substrate, and I even provided protection from rain, so I would obtain the very best performance [note that the corms were rather small, thus the low number of 8 - 12 florets per spike only]: I am just self pollinating every individual flower 1-2 days after it has opened. |

Welcome to another round of commentary and links. Books: Since my last roundup of links, I have finished all the Phryne Fisher books (excellent and a lovely combo of knowing what I'd get out of them, and still having interesting bits). Other recent reads include Code Name: Verity by Elizabeth Wein, which I found fascinating both for narrative structure and character voice, and for the time period (which is WWII.) It is not an easy book to read (without giving away plot spoilers, any book in Nazi-occupied France is not precisely going to be cheerful, really) but it has some delightful moments of friendship and brilliance and joy in amongst the horrible. (Also the pleasant realisation when I looked up her bio that I'd read and loved a number of her short stories, previously.) Likewise, I adored Phoebe North's Starglass which is about a generational starship about to reach its destination, with a bunch of interesting cultural twists (70% of the original population were Jewish, but a lot of it has shifted over the generations in interesting ways.) Currently reading Monster of God: The Man-Eating Predator in the Jungles of History and the Mind by David Quammen, which is about – well, apex predators, people, their interactions, and is a fascinating mix of ecology, zoology, and history and therefore exceedingly up my alley. Watching: As you can guess from my reading, I have now also watched Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and loved them (though also finding it fascinating how they differ from the books: I am mostly fine with the changes, but there are some substantial ones.) I'm looking forward to being able to get the second season here in the US. I then did a detour through Warehouse 13 and am currently part way through Eureka and enjoying them for knitting watching.

Codes of contact: So, there's been rather a lot of discussion in the library world about codes of contact for conventions and other things. Various links of relevance.

So, yeah. Not doing so well with keeping up with the external blog. Let's give this another try, and I'll do a big roundup of links I keep meaning to share. (Which go back quite a few months.) History and Memory:
Libraries, search, finding information:

The Strano and Feeley Family Funeral Home opened their doors in August of 2000 under the direction of Vince Strano, funeral director and Joe Feeley, pre-need counselor and advisor. The Strano and Feeley Funeral Home believe it is their responsibility to provide the families they serve with the care and dignity as if it were their own family they were serving. They encourage and assist the families they serve in creating a meaningful ceremony and tribute to a life lived.
Vince is recognized throughout the funeral service profession in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania as a leading funeral service professional. His entire adult life has been dedicated to serving families in their time of need. Vince has over 25 years of funeral service experience in New Castle County alone.
Joe Feeley, a Delaware native, is the firm's pre-need advisor. Pre-arranging and or pre-paying for funerals well in advance of need is becoming very common place in today's society. Due to the transient society in which we live or perhaps the need to shelter funds for Medicaid purposes, many families are choosing pre-arrangement as a means of eliminating the burden of funeral arranging for their families when the need arises.
