AmeriPolish Dye-N-Seal Solvent Based Concrete Dye
Dye-N-Seal solvent-based dye is packaged in powder form to be mixed with acetone and the Penetrating Agent by the customer. DYE-N-SEAL® dye has 32 standard colors. Dye colors can be combined to create an unlimited number of color variations. When applied properly, DYE-N-SEAL® dye gives great color to produce a look similar to an acid stain in approximately 1/3 the amount of time.
• Large selection of vibrant colors
• Extremely easy to apply
• Can be applied to most interior concrete surfaces
• Packaged in dry form for easy shipping and storage
• Unlimited shelf life in powder form
DYE-N-SEAL® coverage rates will very significantly from floor to floor based on the roughness of the concrete, the porosity and the mix design. Depending on the type of sprayer and the tip size, on regular concrete and most cementitious products expect 400-600 square feet per coat per gallon. Avoid excessive puddling to maximize coverage rate.
NOTE: DYE-N-SEAL dye is for interior application only. Color will fade over time in areas where the dye is frequently exposed to UV light. The quality of UV protection in windows and doors may also determine the amount of time it takes before color must be re-applied.

So, I have never played Blood Bowl: Team Manager and was looking for something a medium-sized gaming group could play once a week. Blood Bowl appeals to me because of its football nature (playing once a week), it just seems like a natural fit.
I was wondering if there is a way to play Blood Bowl as a league similar to real football, where you draft players for your team, play one game a week against an opponent, then track your teams record as you go? Is this possible?

Depending on the Londoner you ask, Soho's "renaissance" has been simmering for anywhere from 20 years (so say the thirtysomething media professionals who frequent it now) to 60 years (so say the jazz artists, writers, and others who pulled it up from the triple-X iniquity in which it spent the first half of the 20th century). But in the past couple of years, the simmer has reached a rolling boil, as some of Britain's most venerated chefs and savviest restaurateurs have set up shop in a few square blocks of W1. Read on for the cream of the crop.
Wright Brothers Soho Oyster House
The sister establishment to Borough Market's favored oyster bar opened in November and is a bigger, sleeker, and cannier affair than its sawdusty sibling. It's spread across multiple levels, with several bars and extensive table seating; subway tiles and brass candlesticks gleam with the patina of expensive design. The menu focuses on fruits de mer and English staples (smoked mackerel; Cornish crab with brown bread; fish pie), which are executed nearly flawlessly. In few places does breaded fried calamari achieve such subtle flavor. Some 30 very affordable wines and a formidable gin selection round out the picture. 13 Kingly St.; 44-20/7434-3611; dinner for two $95.
Gauthier Soho
Chef Alexis Gauthier commandeered this Georgian town-house site (formerly Richard Corrigan's Lindsay House), laid on the heavy linen and ornate silver in its white, light dining rooms, and opened last spring as a proper, starchy French restaurant, with a Michelin star and a minimum three courses, served in one sitting nightly. But his sublimely fresh meat and produce combine thrillingly, with an emphasis on delightful surf-and-turf pairings: quail is married to smoked eel under a light cèpe sauce, while pearly Dover sole finds depth in a meat-and-citrus jus. 21 Romilly St.; 44-20/7494-3111; dinner for two $112.

The Atlantic City Beach
For years Atlantic City has been known for its gambling, world-class entertainment, elite shopping, and exciting nightlife. There is so much to do in this great city that many overlook the reason people first started vacationing here in the first place, the Atlantic City beach.

Atlantic City Beach Activities
The Atlantic City beach has something to offer for everyone, no matter what you are looking for. If you are looking for a little fun in the water, you can kayak or windsurf just off the beach. For those looking to explore along the shore, there are bike rentals available or you can take a ride in a rolling chair, AC's version of a walking pedicab. Check out go karts at Central Pier Arcade and Speedway, Steel Pier Amusement Park, or mini golf for those looking to enjoy some games and fun. There are also several museums including the world famous Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Atlantic City Beach Bars
Bally's Bikini Beach Bar
Bally's Bikini Beach Bar is one of the newest and most exciting Atlantic City beach bars. Featuring free concerts all summer long and different themes every single night, the party never stops. Not only is it literally on the sand, but it offers great food and tropical cocktails all day long. Be sure not to miss out on the signature drinks served in a 24 ounce souvenir yard.
Worship Surf Bar
The Worship Surf Bar is one of the best places to kick back and relax this summer. There is something here for everyone, from the killer bar menu to the daily drink specials. Whether you want to watch a game or hang out with a group of friends, this Atlantic City beach bar is not one to be missed.

I have a spring snow flowering crabapple that has not grown very much in 5 years. I have another that's going gangbusters. I pruned the non-growing one and POW!, it send off suckers instead of new growth. They're growing very rapidly. I'm considering leaving them alone. The suckers are already more than half as tall as the original trunk.
An earlier post of mine I talked about pear trees getting girdled by bunnies. One has made it, the other has not however it is sending up new trunks. The tree is not grafted. It's an Asian pear. Is it worth waiting? I'm very patient |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bob, How old is the non-growing Spring Snow? Is it older and in decline or just not doing well? Are you letting the suckers grow to replace the non growing trees? If so, pick one or two, then cut the original tree down and let the suckers get going, then pick one of the suckers as the new tree and prune out the second sucker. Right now the suckers are just pulling resources from the original tree. I lost a small Washington Hawthorne winter before last. I cut back the main trunk this spring and it's got probably 15 suckers. I need to get them culled, so thanks for the reminder! Patience is a wonderful and necessary quality for a gardener in Colorado to have. Barb |
So my Peach and Apple tree have both been producing suckers. I've been leaving them, because both trees were having some issues. The original young peach trunk has been rather lopsided, so I thought maybe leaving the suckers might eventually balance it out - or replace the original trunk. My apple tree, if you remember my post awhile back, had what appeared to be some type of blight. I had cut off all the portions of stems that were infected, and it started putting out a bunch more leaves along all of it's branches ... and suckers. Perhaps I should cut back the suckers on it, now that the original trunk is actually looking nice (I wasn't sure it was going to make it, so that's why I left the suckers). Marj |
Make sure that the suckers are coming above the graft. A lot of times, they come from the rootstock, which isn't much help. |
David, Good point! I really don't know much about grafts and fruit trees. I just have 2 cherry and 3 apple trees so far. I bet the orchards forum could give Bob and Marge some great advice! Barb |

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 Pawlina!
Facts about Pawlina
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Pawlina's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Pawlina was found on a farm where not only was she not fed, but she was also pregnant.
During Pawlina's surgery it was found that she is FIV positive. This was most likely transmitted by a male cat. FIV is not contagious to people or dogs and can only be transmitted to another cat through a bad bite. FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. FIV can suppress the immune system but most cats live very long and healthy lives with FIV. For more information on FIV, go to our website - http://members.petfinder.org/~PA16/fivshowcase.html. Our volunteers would also be happy to discuss this condition with you.
Pawlina is a sweet kitty. She never lets me forget her at mealtime, and when I am feeding her, she makes sure I also pet her. She loves to be petted. She arches her little back.
Pawlina can be adopted alone or perhaps into a home with another FIV cat for company.
Pawlina's estimated date of birth is 5/2008.
Like this cat? To submit an adoption application for this cat, please go to the Stray Cat Blues website, www.straycatblues.org . At the top in the middle you will see a link for "House Cat Adoption Application". Click on this link, complete the short form, and be sure to click Submit at the bottom. One of our Adoption Reps will be in contact with you within a couple of days to guide you through the adoption process!
Other Pets at Stray Cat Blues
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pawlina, a Colmar Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Colmar, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Colmar.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Colmar 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 Colmar 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Colmar paves the way for another one to be saved.

ML's Chatter
Last weekend Nas and I were speaking at the Pittsburgh Code Camp and we had a great time and we meet a lot of great people. While in the speaker room we met Amanda Launcher and she introduced us to http://twitter.com/. If you don't know anything about it I would suggest going out and taking a look because to my understanding it's the next new fad. I would think that "twitter" is something that could complement a blog or if you don't have much to say at one moment. To my understanding you are only allowed 140 characters per post and you can do it from either you're phone or IM.
Nas and I didn't have a chance to sit in on any other sessions because we were doing some deep dive discovery on FBA and MOSS (MySite) configuration and trying to really understand how and why it's configured the suggested way. I must say its pretty complex at first but it gets a lot simpler once all the SQL permissions are set correctly on the FBA database. Once we got done with this I spent more time on InfoPath Forms Services/FBA and got everything working correctly for my demo but when I tried to do the demo I couldn't get logged into the SharePoint site because of some "unknown exception". When adding FBA to SharePoint it has been really unpredictable and frustrating for me. I'm hoping that I can get all the bugs worked out by the Richmond Code Camp on April 26th.
Cheers, Michael

All the best Chicago bars, including bar reviews and editors' picks
Super Bowl parties, catering and takeout
The Super Bowl is the biggest sports night of the year, so don't get stuck without proper food and drink provisions
Best sports bars in Chicago
With five professional sports teams and tons of college allegiances, it's a good thing that Chicago has many great sports bars

Given how beer and pizza is a perfect pairing, it's astonishing that it's taken Chicago so long to get its second pizzeria/brewery
Latest bar stories
Taste test: 19 bottled Bloody Mary mixes
We used to think that, like pizza, there were no bad Bloody Marys—after all, you're probably hungover, and they're delivering you some hair-of-the-dog vodka, along with lots of salty garnishes, all in an easy to consume package. But sometimes, you can't rely on Chicago restaurants for your Bloody Mary brunch fix—when you need to whip up a Bloody at home, you need to start with a solid mix. The Time Out Chicago staff tried 19 different kinds of Bloody Mary mix, and while most are fine in a pinch, there are six we hope to never drink again, and three clear standouts. The next time we're hosting brunch at home, we'll be grabbing bottles of those. RECOMMENDED: Brunch in Chicago

Nerdstomper Blue win MLG Raleigh {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 2:27PM The brackets to these sorts of tourneys don't look like a typical NFL, soccer or NCAA bracket and can be somewhat confusing.... but I'll try :p
It seems it was double elimination and there were 8 teams. 2 of the teams are going to be flawless and remain in the "winner's bracket" where they will compete against each other and be given their first loss.
In the meantime everyone who has lost once now goes into the losers bracket where they battle it out and get eliminated upon their second loss. (Evil Geniuses would've been in the losers bracket). The winners of the losers bracket would then play against the team that has one loss from the winner's bracket. Then the team that wins out of that matchup plays the (presumably undefeated team) that is holding the winner's bracket. This is where they would have to overcome a 2 win deficit because they have one loss already and the winner's bracket team hasn't had any.

Does anyone know the "official Mohawk" name for Powerplay? It was suggested to me by "Floortech" and I can't find it. Mohawk customer service told me each dealer uses their own names.
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Power Play is an Aladin name I believe. Each dealer does not use their own names. There is huge protection in this business. Go to a Mohawk dealer and ask them to cal their rep and you would like to see either powerplay or a crossover to it. Or get on the horn and call local stores that carry Mohawk. The 1st non lazy store will be able to show it to you. It is hugely popular with property management accounts. believe me, it is a name that is real and known. |

The Bronx Zoo's Statement About the Missing Cobra, with Sentences Reordered From Most Comforting to Most Frightening
Sometime on Sunday, a poisonous cobra at the Bronx Zoo—let's say—misplaced herself. Although she has yet to return to her cage at the Reptile House, forcing zoo officials to keep the enclosure on lockdown, or present herself in plain sight, the fugitive snake did turn up on Twitter yesterday afternoon. "It's getting pretty cold out," the snake tweeted. "I think it's probably time to crash. Oh look, an apartment window someone left open just a crack. Perfect!" Zoo director James J. Breheny released an equally terrifying update of his own, the 14 sentences of which we've reordered from least scary to most. 14. "We remain confident that the snake is contained within the Reptile House."
13. "Sweeping searches continue on a daily basis."
12. "As the situation changes we will share any information with you."
11. "But now, we need to focus our attention and energy on recovery strategies."
10. "In addition, we implemented a system for tracking any movement by the snake that would help aid in its capture."
9. "When we discovered the snake was missing on Friday, we immediately secured the building and conducted a search of all accessible areas."
8. "In this complex environment, she will likely remain in hiding and not move until she feels completely secure."
7."The holding areas of the Reptile House are extremely complex environments with pumps, motors and other mechanical systems."
6. "The difficulty is that the 20-inch, pencil-thin snake, which is months old and weighs less than 3 ounces, has sought out a secure hiding spot within the Reptile House."
5. "At this point, it's just like fishing; you put the hook in the water and wait."
4. "As this may take days or even weeks, daily updates should not be expected."
3. "We understand the interest in this story and that everyone wants us to find the missing snake."
2. "As her comfort level rises, she will begin to move around the building to seek food and water."
1. "Right now, it's the snake's game."
Just kidding! The zoo director didn't say that.
He said the snake's on your arm.

Commenting on today's interview with Pastor Ralph Green has been closed for the day. Tomorrow's post -
The Gospel Project:
A Birdseye View from the Blue Ridge Mountains
By Emir Caner
Will post at 7:00 a.m. and commenting will resume at that time. Please review the commenting guidelines. Discussion is encouraged; however, personal attacks are not permitted from either side of the debate.
SBCToday has updated commenting guidelines. Please review them here.
Finally, it's here – SBCToday's interview with Ralph Green, the Maryland pastor who returned Lifeway's Gospel Project Sunday school curriculum because he deemed it too Calvinistic for consumption by church members.
While I recognize how much time has passed since we promised the publication of this interview, suffice it to say that two successive trips to my former state of residence regarding personal business significantly preempted the interview's posting. Add to that the responsibilities associated with a new fall semester at a college that God has blessed yet again with record enrollment, and it becomes clear where my time necessarily has been invested.
Add to this the heavenly home-going of my mother-in-law and the requisite travel of nearly 1,500 miles and more than a week in ministry to family, then it becomes clearer still why the interview has been delayed.
Whereas I've been told of some who speculated as to why the interview was not yet forthcoming, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the others who conversely offered grace and the benefit of the doubt in such a trying time for my family and me. Thank you ever so much.
Deus Caritas Est,
Norm Miller, editor

Southern Baptist Convention – 1950
No. 10
Robert G. Lee, President
Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee
R.G. Lee, 1886 – 1978
Born in a log cabin in South Carolina, Robert Green Lee gave his life to Christ in 1898. At age 21 he went to work on the Panama Canal, and upon returning, enrolled at Furman University. His academic prowess garnered the offer of the chair of Latin at Furman. Declining the position, Lee answered God's call on his life as a preacher and pastor.
Lee's first pastorate was at Edgefield, South Carolina. This was followed by pastorates at First Baptist Church of Chester, South Carolina; First Baptist Church of New Orleans, Louisiana; Citadel Square Baptist Church of Charleston, South Carolina; and finally, Bellevue Baptist Church of Memphis, Tennessee, where he was succeeded by the late Dr. Adrian Rogers.

Jean-Christophe Garnier, France, Maine et Loire |
The Artist
Jean Christophe Garnier ( JCG ) is one of a kind. I just love the guy. I would call him Monsieur garnier as the immensity of respect he deserves...but he's just a great buddy and can't name him anything else other than JC. Oh, don't get me wrong, JC hasn't always made great juices, he is a trooper, in fact.
The Place
SAINT LAMBERT DU LATTAY, the WOW tiny village in the heart of Anjou, the Layon area to be more precise.Local people from the Loire Valley would just call it Saint Lambert and immadiately think of the concentration of mind blowing winemakers : René Mosse, Jo Pithon, Les Griottes...you name them!
Philosophies, Ideas & Practices
Organic has always been an evidence for JC, as well as all the principals of biodynamie ; however, more than strict principals, JC has his own perspective and philosophy of winemaking.
" In some cases, you don't need to either filtrate or sulfite the wine ; that depends on its santitary quality. If you have a kind of suspicion and don't want to take a big risk, you do a roughfiltration ( dégrossissage) on diatomaceous earth ( silicium from fossil algees). I, that particular situation, an omeopathic dose of sulfites helps to avoid the oxydation default which brings the filtration"

He has such impeccable taste in female vocalists.
When I listened to it the first time I thought 'oh good, the album of the year has finally arrived'.
I think it and she are just brilliant.
Raindrops + (Golden) Sunshowers.
Couldn't have happened to a sweeter, more deserving guy. Love it.
Hopefully he won't take another five years to produce album number four!
She is pretty incredible, it's true. Very much looking forward to seeing her with an orchestra at the Sydney Opera House in a couple of weeks!
This is very good, yessir.
Grabbed me from the first listen.
That is a sweet one-two combination. Wish I could have been there.
This is sososo good. Basically punched me in the face with its awesomeness right from the first listen.
An homage to Kate Bush perhaps? I love the wiggly fingers in the chorus.
Tough call, but I'm gonna go with A Sorta Fairytale.

Seattle Times theater critic honors standout actors, theaters and stage productions with the 2011 Footlight Awards. The list includes best new plays "Pilgrims Musa and Sheri in the New World" (ACT Theatre) and "Ghost Light" (Oregon Shakespeare Festival).
Seattle Times theater critic
Perseverance keeps honor bright, according to William Shakespeare.
2011 was, artistically, a bumpy year for Seattle theaters. In the case of one prominent company, it was also financially disastrous.
But it was a time when most of our drama institutions scrimped and sacrificed and persevered, despite the uncertain economy and the keener than ever competition for arts patrons and financial contributions.
The alternative? In April, Intiman Theatre, dangerously high on debt and low on cash, laid off its staff and cut short its 2011 season after one show. Subscribers, artists, funders and observers around the U.S. were stunned by the Tony-honored company's sudden shut-down. Now Intiman hopes to return for a 2012 summer season under new leadership, but its fundraising outlook is clouded by a mood of wary disgruntlement from its subscribers and former funders. If the money isn't there by February, the company intends to shut up shop permanently.
The Intiman closure sent a chill through the arts community. And it was a wake-up call for theaters to get their fiscal acts together in a fragile period of very gradual economic recovery.
But most Seattle-area theater companies are hanging tough. And if it wasn't a stellar year on the boards (with a couple of exceptions, most prominently ACT Theatre's vital showing) there were more new creations (of varying quality), and enough vivid productions and potent performances (by well-known and newcomer thesps) to keep the scene lively.
Looking at our list of the most laudable productions in local theater, it's striking that most of our top picks happened to be recent plays and new adaptations that zone in on compelling characters coping with immigration, poverty, racial relations, global outsourcing, religious identity and other immediate concerns. These weren't somber, didactic screeds, but emotion-charged, often witty, aspirational human stories.
We live in such dynamic, trying times, which theaters can artistically exploit and help us better comprehend and — hurrah! — even laugh at. So here, with the customary drum roll, are The Seattle Times Footlight Awards for theatrical accomplishments:

Gossips, rumours and `making me funny': exploring the role of stigma and its impact on disclosure reported by individuals attending an antiretroviral drug clinic in Cape Town, South Africa
Date: Poster sessions AbstractStigma and discrimination against HIV positive individuals has been identified as one of the greatest barriers to the successful implementation of the South African national HIV plan, and the need to understand how stigma is experienced is important for the development of strategies to improve HIV testing and treatment. The objective of the research was to explore the role of stigma among a group of individuals attending an antiretroviral drug clinic in Cape Town, South Africa. Qualitative research methods using in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 women and men who attended an antiretroviral treatment clinic. Between 1 and 3 interviews were conducted with each individual to explore the social experience of being HIV positive and being on antiretroviral treatment. A treatment buddy was a precondition to commence antiretroviral treatment and this person was chosen based on whether the person was trusted by the patient. All participants chose same sex buddies, with elder sisters often the preferred person. Determining if someone frequented shebeens (township bars), which could provide opportunities for gossip, was also considered. Involvement in arguments, where the risk for insults related to HIV status arises, was also avoided. Body shape was an important source of rumours, including both weight loss and physical changes as a result of antiretroviral treatment. All participants spoke of being the victims of mockery and had developed strategies to determine potential stigma responses during conversations with others. A few participants did not reside in the research area and preferred to attend a clinic outside of their community to avoid stigma. Health workers were also often identified as a source of gossip. The study has highlighted the huge burden carried by people living with HIV and showed the many strategies they have to developed to avoid stigma. The HIV epidemic in South Africa has reached the stage where many more people will require antiretroviral treatment and decreasing stigma should be an essential aspect of the national treatment plan. |

1) I am about to build a deck over a flat roof (slight pitch of 1/8"/1') that has reasonably good drainage. As with any flat roof there are some small areas of pooling. I was planning on using Ipe and am concerned about it cupping. The deck will be 2"-8" above the PVC membrane. I am in Los Angeles and there is usually very low humidity. The house is on the top of a ridge line and there is usually a moderate updraft; however, sometimes the air is still.
2) Another portion of the project is a pool deck. The deck is designed to be 6" above grade and the grade is currently dirt/fill. It is a "WET" area that will often get water from entrances/exits of the pool. What should I do to the subdeck area to prevent cupping so that I don't have to lift the deck 12" above the ground? would using 5/4 x X make a difference and if so is it worth the 25% additional $? does the spacing of the boards make much of a difference and what would be recomended? (it is going over a white PVC roof membrane so the tighter the treads the more attractive).
Is there a way to minimize risk? I looked at some of the engineered products and they have similar requirements for ventilation. The engineered products are more expensive then the Ipe and I would prefer to use the Ipe but don't want to regret the decision. The roof deck area is ~2000' and the pool deck is ~700' so the investment in lumber and installation is considerable. I have used Ipe in Miami for docks and never had any issues. I really like the material and would like to use if practical so whatever suggestions you may have would be appreciated. |

Your roof top deck has plenty of clearance,most of mine have the width of the stringers 1 1/2''. I would sugest using counstruction adhesive as well as SS screws be very sure the screws do not go thru the stringers be very sure as well during install you dont damage the roof...like hiting it with the edge of a board,droping a drill bit first on it,steping on a screw things like that. Your right if your going to use anything on it use the S American lumber not manmade material. With your pool deck provide cross ventalation. This can be done with screen vents in the framing if this is not completly possible install floor vents in the decking combined with the frame vents. Cross ventalation is a vastley over looked but much needed addtion to any decking project. The gap between the decking boards will have no effect one way or the other venting your project unless there is air moving under it. If possble a drain system under the pool deck might help if done corectley but do not put a ground cover like plastic sheet/tar paper under it 1'' ipe will react the same way 3/4'' ipe will under the same conditions. The life span of both is also the same. J. |
Thanks John. I went with your advise and ordered the 3/4". What you said about the cupping makes perfect sense and the savings were considerable. regards, |

The new Wrencher Jersey, below, is a techy take on a mechanic's work shirt that can be worn to the bar, the bike shop or out on the trail. Made from lightweight but durable DWR-treated water-resistant fabric, the Wrencher uses snap-up buttons for easy on/off, and has a cape vent in back and mesh venting under the arms.
With Teva pushing hard into the MTB market, and mega-corporation Adiddas recently purchasing 5.10, flat-pedal footwear is an increasingly hot category. TNF is looking to get in on the action with the uber-lightweight Shifter shoe, which is built with a dual-traction flat outsole and a clean look.
The North Face first got into making mountain bike apparel to cater to their off-season ski athletes, such as big-mountain ripper Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. So it's no surprise that many of this longtime outdoor brand's first mountain bike products were freeride pieces designed to offer protection for riders pushing their limits in the backcountry or bike park.
The North Face has enlisted Pro-Tec to provide a proprietary padded chamois for its rugged Downiveille short for next season. The Pro-Tec liner's integrated flex panels and high-back waistband supplement the protection offered by this below-the-knee short, which is cut wide to accommodate knee pads and made from ballistics-grade Nylon.
For more of an everyday trail short, look no further than the Bracket short (pictured below in "utility brown"), which true to TNF's aggressive environmental stance carry the Bluesign stamp for adhering to environmentally conscious manufacturing methods.
Made from water-reistant and breathable fabric, the Bracket short features a raised waistband in the back and built-in Velcro tabs for a snug fig (plus over-sized belt loops for extra plumber-crack protection). The shorts also come with a removable chamois, a cargo pocket on the left and iPhone pocket (with headphone routing) pocket on the right, a seamless crotch panel design and an integrated sunglasses wipe.
Look for these pieces and many more—including a full line of hydration packs, gloves, jackets and casual commuter pieces—to hit bike shops and better outdoor retailers this spring.

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 Morgan - Courtesy Post!
Facts about Morgan - Courtesy Post
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Black
- Age: Senior
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Morgan - Courtesy Post's Info...
I am purebred.
Owner has lost home, job, health and relationship. And now he has to give up his dogs. Please if a rescue can step up wonderful or if interested in adopted even better. Owner has contacted other rescues in Cincy area only to be told if dogs are over 5 yrs old they will be PTS.
I don't have much more info regarding the girls, please contact if interested to adopt and I will forward contact to owner. Please help if you can
Other Pets at Our Gang Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Morgan - Courtesy Post, a Cincinnati Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

Personal Shopper Sentenced in D.C. Property Tax Refund Fraud Scheme
Greenbelt, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams, Jr. sentenced Marilyn Yoon, age 40, of Derwood, Maryland, today to a year and a day in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession of property obtained by fraud in connection with a property tax refund scheme in which over $48 million were stolen from the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeffrey A. Taylor. Judge Williams also ordered that Yoon pay restitution of $526,130.
According to her plea agreement, Yoon first met Harriette Walters while working as a sales consultant at a high end leather goods store and then as a personal shopper at a luxury department store in Tysons Corner, Virginia where Walters shopped. As their friendship continued, Walters provided monetary gifts to Yoon between June 2005 and May 2006 totaling approximately $251,130.
In February 2007, Harriette Walters gave Yoon a fraudulently obtained District of Columbia government check for $483,940 and instructed Yoon to deposit the check into Yoon's bank account. When Yoon attempted to do so, the bank did not accept the deposit because the names of the owner of the account and the payee did not match. In May of 2007, Harriette Walters gave Yoon a second fraudulently obtained government check made payable to a business owned by Yoon's husband in the amount of $275,000. Yoon successfully deposited the check into the bank account of her husband's business.
In June 2007, Harriette Walters directed Yoon to use the funds from the $275,000 check to send a $125,000 cashier's check payable to a plumbing business owned by Harriette Walters' brother, Richard Walters. Although Yoon believed that the $275,000 check was the proceeds of fraud, Yoon nevertheless issued the cashier's check, and used the remaining $150,000 to make a personal loan to a family member and remodel her home.
Harriette M. Walters, age 52, of Washington, D.C., pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy; 10 years for District of Columbia tax evasion; five years for federal tax evasion; and an order to pay restitution in the amount of $48,115,419.09. U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia Emmet G. Sullivan has scheduled her sentencing for March 25, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Alethia O. Grooms, age 52, of Clinton, Maryland and Samuel Earl Pope, age 61, of Washington, D.C. also pleaded guilty to their participation in the scheme. Judge Sullivan scheduled their sentencing for February 24 and 26, 2009.
Jayrece Turnbull, age 34, of Bowie, Maryland, who is Harriette Walters' niece, pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in Baltimore to her participation in this tax refund scheme in which she deposited over $24 million in fraudulently obtained government checks into accounts she controlled. She faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for receipt of stolen property, 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering, 30 years for mail fraud and five years for tax evasion. Judge Williams has scheduled her sentencing for February 4, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.
Judge Williams sentenced former IRS employee Robert O. Steven, age 55, of Edgewater, Maryland, to 46 months in prison; his wife Patricia A. Steven, age 73, of Harwood, Maryland, to 70 months in prison; Ricardo R. Walters, age 33, of Ft. Washington, Maryland, to 78 months in prison; and Richard Walters, age 49, of Bowie, Maryland, to 51 months in prison, all for receipt of stolen property and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with this scheme.
Walter Jones, age 33, of Essex, Maryland, and Connie Alexander, age 53, of Bowie, Maryland have also pleaded guilty to their participation in the scheme. Walter Jones faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering at his sentencing on January 5, 2009. Alexander faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for receipt of stolen property and 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering at her sentencing scheduled by Judge Williams for February 12, 2009.
United States Attorneys Rod J. Rosenstein and Jeffrey A. Taylor thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation; the Inspector General's Office for the District of Columbia; the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue, Criminal Investigation Division; the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration; and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of Integrity and Oversight for their investigative work. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Su and Deborah Johnston from the District of Maryland and Assistant United States Attorneys Timothy Lynch and David Johnson from the District of Columbia, who are prosecuting the case.

Hi there, I bought a tricolore ornamental pepper tree last spring, and after the peppers had dried and fallen off, I left them in the pot. Now, to my surprise this spring, what I initially thought were weeds in the pot were little baby pepper trees! So I pulled them out of the mom's pot and replanted them in their own containers. I did a bit of reading on them, and they seem to be pretty straightforward. My one question is that because I didn't expect the seeds to propagate, I didn't take them out of the fruit's dried case. So as you can see in the picture, I have clusters of plants in each pot. I don't want to damage them, so should I just let the plants fight it out and give survival to the fittest seed? And any other tips for working with these babies? I read that you should use soil-less potting mix. Is that necessary? I'm currently using Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Mix, but it doesn't say that it's specifically soil-less. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Essentially all commercial potting mixes are soilless these days. The one you have reads peat, perlite, nitrogen and phosphorus added. If you wish to easily thin your seedlings and don't want to risk separating the crowded emerging roots, use small scissors. Snip off all but the strongest. |
