I have recently caught the bug and have been collecting houseplants, nothing to unusal but my wish list is growing. Anyway I've been lurking on this forum for a few weeks and am sure one of you helpful bunch can help me out. I Bought this just a few weeks ago, was in great condition, glossy leaves, however I'm concerned about the top leaves, they droop downwards. The variegation is not as profound either (tho this could be an age thing), unlike the lower leaves which are perky and bright. Ive consulted my houseplant bible, but there is no mention of the problem.Thanks in advance. |

Does this plant receive sufficient sunlight? |
Check closely for insects as well. |

Needs more light |

Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! That was my thinking too, more light, especially seeing that you're in England. Probably not much sun there lately. When variegation fades, in general on any plant, it's almost always a sign of insufficient light. I've not had this regular-size Scheff but on the mini one, S. arbicola, new leaves come in at an angle like that, and become more flat/upright as they mature. When I loaded up a google search, I saw many pics of the same thing on the newest leaves. Do the more experienced people with this plant agree? |

Is anyone else going? I wouldn't normally because of the expense, but gosh, it's right in downtown Tacoma. And I happen to live in - Tacoma. I signed up for the andamento class with Bonnie Fitzgerald and Andrea Taylor (I'm not familiar with two women), and am on standby for the landscape class with Laura Rendlen. I'm excited and wonder if anyone has attended them in the past and what their experience was. Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, gosh, I guess I'm the only one here. It is pricey, even without airfare and hotel. But, heck, it's a once in a lifetime event for me. |
Hey drtdgr, I'm here. I won't be going but I sure would like to. I hope you go. It was in Austin recently (2 years ago? 1 year ago?) but I didn't go because I felt it was too pricey for me, even though I live here, and I've regretted it ever since. If it ever comes back to Austin, I'm going for sure!!! |
Well, I will be sure to take a lot of photos and share my experience! There will be so much to absorb. I hope it will lead to more ambitious projects. Everyone has to start somewhere. Susan |
I have lots of friends in SAMA and from all the posts and pics over the years I will say you won't be disappointed. Things I think are a definitely do - volunteer to help in a class - you can get all the info for FREE! and definitely sign up for the mosaic marathon which always looks to be a BLAST! Don't miss any breakfast meets and evenings out, this isan excellent chance to hang out with some wonderful ppl |
Susan, I will be attending...This will be my sixth conference. And each and everyone has been well worth the expense. I always say, my life was never the same after attending the first one in Mesa. Been to San Diego, Chicago, Austin, Lexington and now Tacoma. I have met so many wonderful and talented people. Things to do especially if it is your first. Volunteer as much as you can. My first conference, I didn't know a soul. I volunteered for so much and it was the best. You really get to meet new people and can see how it all works. The classes are great, yes, expensive, but fun. The mosaic marathon is so awesome...you must do and doesn't cost anything but your talent and time. And once you register, remember to tell them you are a first timer. There is a group that will make you feel comfortable. Going to the vendor marketplace is worth the trip alone. You will see all the latest and newest things that are on the market, and you don't have to pay postage to get them. Be sure to buy tickets for the raffle...they have great prizes. So rest assured...it will be worth it. Maybe we can even meet! becky |
Thanks for the info! I was feeling a little intimidated, being relatively new to the mosaic world. I will definitely sign up for the mosaic marathon. It would be fun to meet someone from this forum! Susan |
Susan, promise to post pics for us! Does anyone know who is leading the marathon this year... thats always my favorite thing to watch (from afar) |
Susan, when it gets closer to April, email me and we can exchange cell phone numbers, or we can schedule a time to meet. I would like that! Mosaic Marathon is headed up by Mark Brody and Lynn Adamo this year. If you'd like to see a picture of the mosaic, check out this link: |
ooh cool! thanks for that link Becky |
Thanks, Becky, I will do that! Susan |

After a couple of years, we've finally killed almost all of our bermuda grass and are getting ready to move forward with seeding or sodding a more drought tolerant lawn in this area. I'd initially looked at carex pansa and festuca rubra as options, but am having second thoughts about how these will hold up to a large dog running across the lawn regularly.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with these grasses or others that might hold up well to moderate to heavy traffic (85 lb young dog) but also be drought tolerant (dry summers, rainy winters) and grow in heavy clay soil? (I know, I'm asking for a lot! :) Our patch is pretty small since we've landscaped most of it to non-lawn uses, but we would like to preserve an area that can be run in freely by dogs/kids/etc. Doesn't need to be grass per se---just something that will not be mud in winter and not have to be continually reseeded to keep in shape. We aren't picky about appearances and are looking at grasses that don't need to be mowed regularly. Any suggestions would be great--thanks! |

I've never planted a lawn of it, but I've planted a clump of Carex praegracilis in heavy clay soil with two young 60-pound dogs trampling on it regularly, and I found that it didn't at all mind the long, dry, summers that get much hotter here in the Sacramento Valley than for you in the Bay Area. I've been extremely pleased with it; the only problem I've had with it is that Bermuda grass came up in the middle of it and I had a very difficult time separating them. The sedge wasn't entirely thrilled about having me tear up its roots to extract the Bermuda grass. But after sulking limply for a few months, the sedge did recover and survive. |
You don't way whether this is shaded in winter, or full sun. Almost any turf grass, and especially the heavily promoted Tall Fescue Blends will tend to thin out and get weaker with limited winter sun and poor drainage. My experience with C. praegacilis is that it also prefers a faster draining soil mix, and can rot out in heavy clay soils with poor drainage. I'd suggest that C. divulsa/berkeley sedge might be a tougher choice, or if you have full sun, you might consider Dymondia margaratae. |

ZOMG. What a dramatic episode.
The accident eight years ago that claimed the lives of Rin's parents and Kaede's mother shocked Kaede and she lost the will to live. To save her, Rin claims responsibility for the accident and Kaede returns from the edge literally with a vengeance – her newfound purpose in life is to make Rin's life a living hell. Rin's dream in Ep 5 was part of a memory when Kaede told him that he should just die for killing her mother. After years of abuse, Kaede finally realizes the truth via an old postcard and tries to atone for what she has done by becoming Mahoro.
But with Rin finding happiness with Shigure Asa, and that she has never seen him so happy before, her atonement project – the foundation of the third phase of her life – slowly but inexorably crumbles. And with it, her self-restraint. This culminates with her wishing death on Asa using the exact same phrase that she cursed Rin with. Asa, who is in the midst of a serious attack, collapses spectacularly – almost as if in response to her curse. Coming to her senses, Kaede is horrified – it seems that, in addition to Rin's parents, she's now killed the girl he loves.
Kareha is always so funny when doing her "Ma-ma-maa!" set though this is the first time I've seen her love junkie aura being dispelled. Couldn't understand the part when Rin asked Asa about the rumour of Kareha working at the cafe – what was the rumour about?
Again, Asa uses her usual tactic to deflect attention from another attack of her illness – first with a reason that suggests it's just exhaustion from over-exertion and second by making light of it – in this case, saying that she doesn't want to get up because she likes being held, like a sleeping beauty princess, in Rin's arms. I wonder if Kareha suspects the truth behind her illness? Also I liked how the onset of her attacks are cued with sound effects like heart beats and the sharp discordant electric guitar-type sound.
Asa tries not to worry her mother by appearing strong in front of her but Ama-san isn't fooled and even gently chides her for trying too hard, saying that it will worry Rin. Who is worrying away about her at home. Ama-san's victory signs to Asa after the latter succeeded in asking Rin once again was quite cute.
Another sequence that just screams "Poor Kaede!" – right down the contrast in colours. Rin and Asa have bright cheerful colours to complement their mood while Kaede's scenes have a dull, greyish tone to them. Although I'm an AAA member, I did feel very sorry for Kaede. But only up to a point. Ep 5 already hinted at how unbalanced Rin and Kaede's relationship is (Kaede's total dependence on Rin for validation of self) and Kaede's need to serve Rin is now shown to be pathological. Living for the sake of another is a very noble thing but anything taken to the extreme is not healthy – in this case, it really places a demand of unlimited liability and responsibility on the person that one is supposedly living for. I do hope that Kaede gets the character growth needed to be achieve that very difficult thing of being happy for Rin and Asa.
Poor Primula – it must have been terrifying for her to see her Happy Family implode like that, not least compounded by a sense of helplessness. Very Raymond Carver. While Blank Stare Empty Pot Kaede assured Primula that as long as Rin was happy, it was all good that was belied by her actions (defacing Asa in the puricura stickers and trying to get Asa to leave her house) and her words (begging Asa to return Rin to her and wishing death on her).
R: Cue obligatory Sadako/The Ring joke.
I was so tempted to make a yuri joke about Kaede confessing to Asa but it just felt so wrong.
I was very surprised by the ferocity of Kaede's assault on Asa as it was entirely different from the game. Though I should not have been so surprised given that in the first part of the episode, Kaede has what police profilers would call "a history of violent behaviour". The parts about physical assaults on Rin were also mentioned in the game (cf. the 9/7 entry) but my command of Japanese was not sure or confident enough to finger Kaede as the active perpretrator. And now I have confirmation that she did attack him with a knife – in the game, Rin offered to show Asa the scars. Part of the contributory factors behind her anger perhaps included how she feels Rin has abandoned her, how Asa – supposedly a close friend unlike open rivals like Lisianthus and Nerine – had betrayed her?
Another question I'm pondering is if the severity of Asa's latest attack was related to Kaede's physical push (unlikely), her curse (more likely) or the psychic reverberations of Rin and Kaede fighting (some indications). Based on game spoilers again, this suggests of a link with Asa's origins, the magic inside her and the theory of control of magic through emotions as per Primula. Like Matthew, I'm concerned for Asa but the preview shows that she'll be ok. And it looks like Asa's backstory (and Ama's) is being kept for the last burst of fire.
I agreed with Omni that Rin and Asa's quick (and off-screen) reconciliation was slightly jarring. But after rewatching the conclusion of Ep 18, it bothers me less now as Asa has clearly stated the terms for future dates ("Ask me out when you, and not anyone else, want to.") and Rin's voiced determination to do just that. On the other hand, I was happy with how Rin and Kaede reconciled in middle school – due to the postcard jogging Kaede's memories of what really happened. The basis from the reconcilation (beyond a simple "Kaede found out the truth") wasn't so clear to me in the game – probably because I couldn't understand the Japanese and perhaps it was in the Kaede thread which I didn't play.
So where do we go from here? Omni and Kurogane have speculated that Asa is currently still in the lead. I agree. Omni pointed to how Asa appears to be the victim. In addition, the way the whole confrontation was set up and timed simply makes Rin even more concerned about Asa. Omni has also posited that, in the end, Rin might end up with Asa or none of the girls. I suggest another possibility i.e. he could end up with all of them. This is hinted at by Lisianthus tells Rin, right at the end of Ep 17, to remember that the Shinkai practices polygamy. In the Asa thread of the game, Eustoma and Foebeshii also propose this solution to Rin after finding out that he is seeing Asa (i.e. he marry Asa, Lisianthus and Nerine under Shinkai jurisdiction) . While this might have comic potential, I sincerely hope it does not happen as it is is a cop-out solution that would just make the hard choices now seem absolutely farcial.
SHUFFLE! has been my favourite show this season but this episode has solidly entrenched its position. And it has risen in my H-Games Turned Anime ranking. If it delivers a strong ending, it'll be tops.

If you could live anywhere, Where would that be?To help you decide, we present the second annual T+L Golf report on America's best golf communities.
- Alabama/Arizona
- California/Colorado
- Florida
- Georgia/Hawaii
- Massachusetts/Missouri/Montana
- Nevada/New Mexico/North Carolina/Oregon
- South Carolina
- Texas/Utah/Vermont
- Washington/West Virginia/Wyoming
The question of where to invest is daunting. Top-tier communities have proliferated to meet the demand of the many well-heeled baby boom retirees. Caddie programs, multi-season recreation options for all ages and upgraded dining and spa amenities are practically essential. "Pronghorn just hired Fabrice Beaudoin, who trained under Alain Ducasse and Michel Rostang," says David Lott, publisher of GolfCourseHome.net. "Ten years ago no one knew who a golf community's chef was." Also, a softer housing market makes it hard to buy land in a golf community with the idea of "flipping" the lot, so a property buyer in 2007 should feel a stronger commitment to the development. (Getting in early, when the development is still being defined, can offer the homeowner a more integral role in the community.) So this year we've added more information about developers and their visions and track records.
Overall, the list looks similar to last year's, with a few new additions to the top twenty-five, including Spring Island in South Carolina, Stock Farm in Montana and Three Creek Ranch in Wyoming—the latter two being part of a major trend, that of the golf-home boom taking place in Big Sky Country. Bottom line: All one hundred of these offer the best golf-community living in the country and are fine-looking investments, but the ones claiming the top spots are winning the modern-amenities war.

Don't say, don't say there is no water to solace the dryness at our hearts.
I have seen
the foundation springing out of the rock wall
and you drinking there. And I too
before your eyes
found footholds and climbed
to drink cool water.
The woman of that place, shading her eyes,
frowned as she watched — but not because
she grudged the water,
Only because she was waiting
To see we drank our fill and were
Don't say, don't say there is no water.
That fountain is there among its scalloped
green and gray stones,
It is still there and always there
with its quiet song and strange power
to spring in us,
up and out through the rock.

Tigger, the Walt Disney World character, is no longer in the cross-hairs of the State Attorney's Office.
No charges will be filed against 31-year-old Michael J. Fedelem, the employee playing Winnie the Pooh's bouncy friend, the State Attorney's Office announced today.
Prosecutors reviewed the complaint that Tigger punched a 14-year-old during a home-video session at Disney-MGM Studios last month.

That's great that he won't be charged. The only bad part about this whole thing is that the kid isn't going to get in any trouble for provoking Tigger. When I watched the tape, it clearly looked like he was doing something wrong and Tigger was defending himself. That's just my $0.02 though, and the only thing that matters is that the case has been dropped.

Apple always comes with a hit. You know the iPod, the iPhone and the MacBook; all are exceptionally successful. Their designs – their performance all are outstanding making them commercially winning products.
These few good words lead us to wait for many nice things from Apple and endure the misses even more. In the past, Apple presented few embarrassing products in its beautiful white iCloset. We will check out only six here.
1-The Hockey Puck Mouse
From a company like Apple whose first breakthrough was its commercial, mouse-equipped computer, it looks very strange that Apple has never come up with a reliable mouse. So the latest Mighty Mouse is not the thing as the name implies. It pretends to work on single button but actually having two. It has inexplicably copied ThinkPad's red nipple rather including a scroll wheel.
Not only was it unattractive in design, it was embarrassing to hold due to its size and structure. Users were also unhappy with its too-short cord. Particularly for Apple, the mouse was all style and no substance; style not only triumphed product but finally buried it.
2-The iPod Hi-Fi
Apple's $350 speaker remained in the market for a short time. Soon after 18 months it was taken out back and now come with lime sprinkling on it. It was an odd accessory from Apple. Such type of products normally goes to a healthy third-party market. As you are seeing in picture; the box is comprised of stereo speakers. It had iPod dock on its top. The price was much high despite poor performance. So, people rejected it at all.
Same as lacking a good mouse, the dearth of quality earphones has also been Apple's another weakness. No doubt that it is better in sound and more better when we compare it with bundled 'buds' available in the market, but they soon break. For new pair Apple wants another $30 from you. So, it is better to spend these bucks on buying any other stuff.
I used many of them, and maximum time I used it was for few months. I also tested latest, remote and microphone-toting mode; it got expired after 5 weeks.
Before putting a disgusting camera in their iPhone, Apple had tried it into their camera – 0.3 megapixel (640 x 480) Apple QuickTake. That model had no option to focus. To get zoom user had to walk closer to the subject. Neither could he blast away as possible in modern digicams. The QuickTake 100, made by Kodak, couldn't fit more than 8 snaps into its 1-MB memory.
When released the market was quite immature. The QuickTake entered as an earlier consumer digicam in the market. It has always been the strategy of Apple since the iPod: wait till the market establishes, then introduce a simple, better product than others.
It is very well thing since from its start in 2001. Apple's jukebox software was developed on the third-party Soundjam which Apple bought one year before. It was sleek, efficient and simple to use music player for many years.
Apple thought that iTunes must be the conduit for their iPhones, so they kept adding features even more than required. Lots of features were added to this pared-down, single-minded and simple application. It was synchronized with Outlook, started showing folders in cover flow view and, on the Mac especially, had gotten a monopoly on the SBBOD.
So, the iTunes Store which was greatly user-friendly music store turned into an extremely bad and hard to navigate App Store.
Certainly, nowadays we are using a new, simple and fast music app – Spotify. Apple has pushed itself ahead. I have no objection over selling this revolutionary gadget which is at the same time an iPod, a cellphone and an internet device but the company should also built a same multitasking software to work with it.
Is that all? These failures are major ones. We just focused on today's Apple products and overlooked the big collection of beige boxes and costly printers.
Waiting for the sixth product?
6- You can name any if remembered!

Additional Information
SXSW14: What have we learned from the last five days?
It's been a packed five days of 'Prosumers', algorithmic design and space exploration, but what does it mean for marketers? Sam Noble, chief strategy officer at Iris, takes a look at what marketers can learn from SXSW interactive.
Sam Noble, chief strategy officer at Iris
It's been an illuminating few days in Austin.
The optimism, activism, appetite for learning and downright talent of the international Technorati on display here is infectious. Most evident is their ability to convert it all into real, tangible outputs and outcomes that are positively disrupting lifestyles, businesses, institutions, markets and even fundamental social and economic structures, at pace.
Nanotech precision cancer treatments; software enabled deep space exploration; network driven social activism; algorithmic design of radical new product innovations; 'Prosumer' platforms accelerating growth in the peer-to-peer economy. These are just a few examples of the significant conversations that have been going on over the last few days. And that's before you even get to the interactive revolution in media and entertainment.
So what does it all mean for brands and the humble marketer? After all, we've got trainers, fizzy pop and credit cards to sell right? Well, yes - and no.
The more challenging play is to embrace the disruptive power of this world to more radically transform our own.
The easy play is to apply more learnings and skills from this world to the world of brands and marketing as per its current paradigm.
This is helpful for sure, because the more we do, the more we'll make stickier websites, deliver better omni-channel customer experiences, produce better content, encourage customer behaviour. And we'll create incremental business growth as a result. All good.
The more challenging play is to embrace the disruptive power of this world to more radically transform our own.
This means moving innovation from the sideline to the epicentre of businesses and establishing the creative force of marketing as the driver of internal and external collaboration to deliver it. The more we do this, the more we'll create better products and services, play more meaningful roles in people's lives and engineer new habits. This way, we'll really accelerate business growth.
With that in mind, here are four thoughts on re-setting the "marketing" dials to "creative innovation" model.
Think participation, not just communication
Make it your mission to radically enhance people's participation with your category and with the interests and passion points outside of it that you can play a credible role in. In addition, find natural ways to harness the power of their participation with each other and your brand to create authentic, cultural momentum around it.
Look for lifestyle hacks
Step outside the current parameters of your category / consumer relationship. Identify the unmet needs and motivations in your audience's lifestyle that are ripe for innovation. Fuse anthropological, design, and technological capabilities from outside your brand with the assets that exist inside your business – using your brand, distribution, people to create new ideas - for consumers to live by.
Develop elegant solutions
Unlock much greater levels of emotional involvement with your products and services by applying more of the thinking, skills and passion of the UX community. This is about the pursuit of beauty, seamless functionality and even a sense of serendipity in all the experiences and journeys that we are building for consumers.
Build a kick ass operating system
Overhaul your departmental and agency structures and methodologies, to avoid obsolescence. They must be much more like central hubs for internal and external collaboration, rather than the guys providing the wrapping service at the end of the aisle. Bringing marketers, designers and developers closer together around the big wins and doing it in more agile ways is key.

text: I have so many theories when it comes to this case, but I will just keep those to myself. However, Alexis Murphy went missing on August 3rd 2013. She seemed to be angry with her parents according to Twitter over them "not keeping their word". She seemed to be a typical teenager, joking about popping Molly, posting videos of her twerking and seeming somewhat heartbroken of an undisclosed ex. Take a look, if you know anybody that has the slightest bit of information in regards to her disappearing, CALL THE POLICE!!

Oh my, he's WONDERFUL. And the pole is just perfect. I wouldn't let him in the yard, LOL, he's too pretty to be out in the weather. My pony is just a slightly different model than yours, but its funny we both decided to paint Palominos! ;o) I wish I had your patience for all the neat painting you did. But hopefully you've inspired me to try harder. I'll be adding your Pony to our Misc. inspiration album. |

Your bouncy horse turned carousel horse is a treasure! Your hubby did a great job attaching this critter to the lamp post. (Is it a working lamp post?) The lamp post has an antique look to it that fits the horse perfectly. And your paint job is spectacular. I love the antique look of the top coat and all the multi-colored details of the saddle and bridle and other trappings. He hasn't looked so good even when he was new from the factory. I hope he holds up to the weather. I'd want him inside my house too, but alas I have no room either. Of my two garden ponies, one needed repainting after two winters and the other is holding up well, so you can never tell. |

It's beautiful!! You did a great job on it. I'm wondering what these horses are made of. That would somewhat determine whether or not they would hold up outside. |
Did your Wonderhorse have pegs in it, for hand and foot holds? I've got an old bouncy horse that need attention and I've been trying to figure out the best way to cover the holes left by the pegs. Please do tell! Your Wonderhorse is wonderful! |

Hey SusieRose, how about Frou! She did a horse before Monday for your POTM "suggestion". LOL. Tasy, these are the bouncy ponies with the holes in them. hugs, Karen |

Thanks guys. Spedigrees, the lamp was no longer working when I got it and the top shade was missing (I added the top finial). There were l.e.d. lights in the glass part on top, but the cord was missing. So no lights now. Tasymo, Karen has a good idea about using the dowels to fill the holes. Here is the story about how I filled mine. There is sort of a well of plastic when you take the hand and foot pegs out. I glued a piece of cardboard with a string tied to it inside the holes and DH suggested I use that spray can foam, so we filled each hole so it was even, when it dried it grew into pegs sticking out of each hole. I cut the excess off and smoothed it out with some bondo type stuff. Then I primed it, when I went to check on it, the paint completely melted the foam, so I was back to holes again. The second time I cut circles from a plastic butter tub top and glued them on with GE II and then used the bondo stuff to float it out. The latter worked pretty well. And Karen you're right, I did get my horse done for POTM by today, Yea me. Frou |
Since the pegs are still intact on my horse, I'm wondering if I can simply cut them off, flush with the surface, then bondo over them to smooth it out? I haven't decided if I'm going to mosaic mine, or paint it. It will get done alot sooner if I paint, and I can always mosaic it later, if I want to... |

Kudos to you, Frou! It looks great. :D I collected spring horses for a couple years with the intention of painting and mounting them all as carousel horses. I did one, and have a garage loft full of many more still waiting. The one I did paint: after several years outside year-round, I noticed some paint has peeled off, and there are bubbles in a lot of places. But I didn't prepare or seal it well. And wasps liked it a lot. I didn't seal up the holes where the handles were. :/ |
Looks like it belongs on an old fashioned Merry-Go- Round!! Beautiful job!!Wonderful addition to any garden!! Jan |
How adorable!!! I just love it and the lamp post is the perfect touch!!! I'm so jealous..... Great job! :) |

You're going to have every kid in the neighborhood wanting a ride on him! You did a lovely job on the paint. He looks like a fancy carousel horse. You'd never imagine he once bounced on springs. Your DH did an awesome job attaching him to the pole. Great job! |
WOW! What a beautiful job you did. I know what you mean about 3 coats. Been there done that, but the finished project is wonderful. Have a great day to all stay cool and dry this weekend Betty From Indiana |
It's Beautiful! |
My daughter did one and she used plastic PVC pipe for a post. Put a round Christmas gold ornament on top. Used plastic paints for the horse and pipe and used an old patio umbella stand to hold the pipe. |

I luv it! Your patience and hard word created ths awesome Carosol Horse. I haven't been on here for a while so nice to come back and enjoy this piece. Nana Sylvia |
Holy cow (horse). I thought that was a real carousel horse. I was wondering where you got that, then after reading saw it was a bouncy horse. I will now have to keep my eye out for one of those. I would love to have it in my front yard. That is an awesome job! |
Cool! I just can't bring myself to do that to mine though.... ah.....it's over 50 years young!! Grandkids still ride it sometimes! But yours is absolutely beautiful!! |
If you need another use for a wonderhorse...make sure it is the flat one and not the one with head turned a bit.....cut in half. Make a wood piece to go inside to use as hanger on wall. Great for kids rooms. Use the dowel to hang things. |

I have a spring horse we bought for my son (he's now 44) and I have it cut in half lengthwise, with the intention of having the two halves face each other, mounted on my board fence. I intend to fill the cavity with spray foam insulation, so there's no place for hornets to nest. What kind of paint should I use? Is there a primer that I should use? This horse is hard plastic and has been through a raft of children and still looks pretty good, so I'd say it's sturdy. My house is federal blue with yellow trim, so I want to have one horse blue with yellow and the other yellow with blue. Does that sound dumb? So far, this is just in the planning stages, and I don't find anything else in the Garden Junk forum exactly like what I've got in mind. I'd love suggestions.... |
- Posted by excessfroufrou 7 (My Page) on Wed, May 16, 12 at 11:25
I primed the horse with Krylon paint that is made for plastic before I painted it with acrylic paints made for the outdoors. Then I sealed it with polyurethane. After about a year outdoors it started to peel on the nose and tail, it looks like maybe it was a problem with the primer because it peeled all the way to the bare plastic which had no original paint left. I'm not sure what the solution would be, I have since moved the horse under the porch and he is holding up better, I just need to touch him up. I like the idea of cutting him in half for your fence, be sure and show us how it turns out. Frou |
Superior woman -I've never done fancy painting like Frou, but I have painted a few outdoor plastic things. You really need the plastic CLEAN. I usually wash and dry, then use white vinegar and dry again. I've even set up a fan outside to help dry the objects. If the plastic isn't clean your paint will peel real fast. |
- Posted by calamity_j z7bc (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 12 at 11:27
So true about the plastic having to be super clean...I was trying to cut corners and now have a mess with some lattice I wanted to be green instead of white...arg! Like everyone else has said here...this guy is a class act!!! LOVE it! That lamp post looks perfect with him!!! Over The Top! |

"Possibly The Most Ornately Carved Piano In The World"
This is the most elaborately carved "Art Case" grand piano we have ever had in our collection. This stunning piano was built by the prestigious Blasius & Sons Piano Company of Philadelphia in 1888. Although Blasius & Sons is not widely known today, at one time the firm was one of the most celebrated firms in the industry. Blasius & Sons was known for building very high quality and very expensive pianos.
Perhaps the most influential of celebrity endorsements for Blasius & Sons was world famous inventor, Thomas A. Edison. Known as "The World's Greatest Acoustician" and the inventor of electricity and the phonograph, Edison worked tirelessly trying to successfully record the piano so that it could be faithfully reproduced on his early cylinder records. Edison used Blasius & Sons pianos in his recording laboratory, and he stated that "my experiments prefer the 'BLASIUS' in Tone, Finish, Workmanship and Construction; The BLASIUS PIANO surpasses all others." It's fascinating to think that a Blasius & Sons piano was probably the first piano in history to be recorded!
This instrument is a true "One of a Kind" Masterpiece. The cabinet is made of SOLID HONDURAN MAHOGANY WOOD, and was commissioned to the French woodcarver C. A. Morand. All surviving pieces we have seen of C. A. Morand appear to be in Europe, indicating that Mr. Morand either traveled to Philadelphia to carve the piano, or the piano was sent to his workshop near Paris for the cabinet work to be executed. Every last detail on this piano is actually carved into the wood – there is absolutely no applied carving anywhere whatsoever.
The carved detail on this piano depicts various aspects of music, drama and theatre. On either side of the keyboard are very detailed statues of singing minstrels playing medieval lutes. The front of the piano boasts incredibly expressive faces flanked by the words "Tragedy", "Drama", "Comedy", and "Opera". Names of 12 great composers and musicians are carved in the lower part of the cabinet including "Gluck", "Bach", "Paderewski", "Lassus", "Rubenstein", "Auber", "Mascagni", "Rore", "Cherubini", "Meyerbeer", "Mendelsohn", and "Liszt". The circular carved vignettes around the sides depict angels and cherubs playing musical instruments, all joined by elaborately carved garland and ribbon swags holding horns, harps, drums, sheet music, etc. The piano's legs depict very detailed human faces with human arms and hands stretched above as if they are carrying the instrument on their backs. These human forms morph into large tiger-claw legs and feet which represent immense power and strength. The pedal lyre depicts exceptionally detailed oak leaves and branches. The back side of the pedal lyre, a place not easily visible, is even carved to look like the massive trunk of an ancient oak tree!
Perhaps the most breathtaking detail on the entire instrument is the unbelievable carved detail on the piano lid itself. The lid of the piano features over 100 nude cherubs floating in the clouds; each individual cherub is carved in exceptional detail – to the extreme that each cherub appears to be anatomically correct. It is important to understand that this extensive relief carving was carved from a very thick piece of Mahogany wood; it was not carved and glued to a lesser piece of wood. The technique used in this carving is one of the things that makes this piano so very special.
This piano is in remarkable original condition. It had been stored for many years unused, but it has not been subject to abuse or neglect. The ivory keys and ebony sharps are in pristine condition and will restore to perfection. The piano will be restored internally to like-new condition, making this an instrument of superior musical quality which will satisfy the most discriminating pianist.

Wow: is this the most expensive new TLD sale yet?
English.club sells for $17,500.
The .Club domain name enters landrush tomorrow, and already the domain name is showing solid early results.
Point in fact: English.club sold for $17,500.
Given the huge supply of new TLDs hitting the market, solid keywords are selling for a fraction of what the matching .com domain would sell for. So $17,500 is really high. (This is something I'll talk about on my panel at DomainFest tomorrow.)
Add to that TLD Registry's $181,000 haul a couple weeks ago and premium domains appear like they might actually pull in decent sums for new TLD operators.
.Club has also convinced MaryKay to buy makeup.club and beauty.club.
I gather the difference between these TLD's sales and others is that they're actually going out and selling domains rather than waiting for buyers to come to them. After all, MaryKay doesn't own MakeupClub.com and BeautyClub.com, but someone sold them on the idea of owning the .club domains. It takes outbound sales to make this sort of thing happen.
This also shows there may be an opportunity for domainers who are willing to put in some leg work. Find those registries that aren't holding back all of their premiums, buy them at reasonable prices, then find buyers who may not have been aware that new TLDs were coming out.
15 Comments
The most expensive lot at that Chinese auction was $25,388, but that was for more than one domain so I'm not sure it counts.
Almost nobody want's .club. Nobody wants .com club domains either. I've had many since the mid 90's with literally no interest.
That is a strategy for sure with the endless amount of told extensions, one could be kept busy on o called premium tld for a long time..If that's your broker business model
lol. hype before the launch. so sad.
In context,
Let's not forget that
flowers.mobi sold for $200,000I could pull a few more dozen "Rolling Tumbleweed extensions" domain sales…;)
domains that are catatonic or waiting for another buyer…
That is great to have and many nice looking names available but in the end how many people will type in the .com by default. If it is even a low 10% it is to much.
I could see Harvard.Club, Yale.Club etc.
I heard last nite, there was a bigger sale, for 60k+. Of course there's an NDA on it
Was this an early initial registration sale by the registrar/registry to someone? Not an aftermarket sale?
The Registries are the domainers.
It's all about promoting the domains which certain of the TLD operators have taken on board and are geared up to do.
how can english.club officially sell when NOBODY knows who will end up getting this domain?

With what some analysts are calling one of the worst stock market crashes since Black Monday in 1929 happening as we speak, the Walt Disney World Company is going to have to increase the bottom line in order to do their part to help return faith in the market to all those people who are running to the hills.
In order to rebuild faith, you must have dividends. One of the best way to increase dividends is to increase profits.
That means Disney will either:
Face it, when you have a huge economic downturn like we are experiencing, Mr. & Mrs. lower-to-middle class won't be able to vacation that often unless they stay at home.
- Do more cost cutting measure like reducing menus at restaurants and removing other amenities
- Or, increase prices and reduce the number of people coming to the parks, but getting more money out of those who do.
That means the people who'll be spending the most money at the parks are those who aren't that affected by the latest changes in the financial market....most of the upper middle class.
My predictions is Disney will start providing more options that cater to the more luxury guests.
My parents told me back in 1985 when we took our big 14 day trip to WDW (right before I started 7th grade), the price to go to Disney was outrageously high. They often wonder why they decided to make it so cheap. They felt they got a better experience when the prices were higher, the frequency of trips had to be less but you really felt like every penny you spent was worth it.

Violations among Pop Warner teams that led to the cancellation of the 2004 playoffs are expected to increase as team-by-team investigations are conducted by the Arizona Youth Football Federation, commissioner Vicki Gamby said Thursday.
Gamby said association presidents and coaches should receive some information in the next two weeks so they can look into discrepancies.
Gamby said between 8,000 and 9,000 children participate in Pop Warner football in Maricopa, Pinal, Gila and Yavapai counties, which the federation oversees. She told KNXV-TV (Channel 15) in a Sept. 23 interview six violations had been identified at that time and the board had not yet started a full investigation.
"We are very early into what we are doing so six is going to increase a lot," she said Thursday.
Gamby did not say why she believed the number of violations would increase and would not say which teams, participants or adults were involved.
The federation executive board, which announced the cancellation of the playoffs in a Sept. 7 memo, began combing through each of the 200 teams this week to ensure everyone was playing by the rules.
"All of these people on the federation board have either been through the program, have children in the program or have had children in the program," Gambyshe said. "I have nine grandchildren and am not out to hurt children. None of us are. We have to look at everyone as a whole and everyone should have an even playing field."
She said the board also has an obligation to avoid possible litigation.
"What if a child were hurt by another player that was illegal? Can you imagine the lawsuit from that?" she asked.
Rhett Turner, president of the Southeast Valley Youth Football Association, which authored recent petitions calling for the resignation of federation board members and reinstatement of the playoffs, said there's plenty of time to conduct investigations.
"We are asking them to get it done," he said. "They should have waited before they sent out a memo, and those teams who were found to be cheating should have been disqualified, and those who weren't should have been allowed to go to the playoffs. It's not fair to punish everyone."
Gamby said investigating all of the teams is a huge undertaking and will take time.
"We don't have answers for everything yet and there are 200 teams, so you see with that alone why it's not an easy or quick process," she said.
Federation bylaws require a two-thirds vote of the 19 association presidents to remove current board members. The association presidents meet once a month and the vote would have to be taken at two consecutive meetings. The earliest the board could be forced out would be November, the month in which playoffs usually begin — and a month before Gamby's term expires.
As of Thursday evening, Turner said he has eight or nine association presidents committed to supporting the resignation petition while six associations are on the record as not supporting it.
Gamby said this is not the first time there has been cheating such as the falsification of address information, overweight or overage players, or the "stacking" of teams — pulling players from outside team borders to form a stronger, more athletic team. She said the playoffs were cancelled between 1988 and 1995, but were reinstated due to numerous requests.
"Now we're right back where we started," she said.

I don't think I've used any beauty product more consistently than Dove soap, and I won't ever be without it. I have very sensitive skin that dries out easily and Dove always cleans well without stripping the skin. Not to mention the wonderful smell!
Dove Beauty Bar is one of those products that has been around forever and is always a dependable staple. Every girl must have grown up using it at one time or another. I love the fact that it can be used on the face or the body and has a wonderfully clean, creamy, comforting scent and feel. It lathers very well - into a rich, thick foam - and rinses off leaving my skin moisturized. In the past, the bar used to melt very quickly; it disintegrated and became very mushy. But I feel that lately it must have improved, because the bar holds its shape much better and doesn't fall away as quickly. The bar also seems to last longer. I will always have Dove in my bathroom. It isn't my main face or body cleanser, but I like having it in my bathroom because it's just so pleasant to use sometimes and is so reliable when I want a break from my other cleansing products.
This is the only soap that my mom has ever bought! I've been using it since I could remember! I use it both in the shower and on my face.

I never really thought about using a bar soap on my face before. I like to browse Productville and saw all the positive ratings for Dove soap, and thought- "why not?" Well, I am shocked. My skin is super soft and improving daily. I even use this with my Clarisonic facial brush and another facial brush I own. Soft skin, less blemishes,seemingly less clogged pores. Very cheap, and a bar will last me a long, long time as I am only using it on my face. My only complaint- I hate the smell.I can overlook the smell for beautiful skin though.

ALWAYS buy!!!! for the rest of my life........DOVE IS #1 SOAP EVER was made for us...........#1......
A true classic. This product hardly needs a review. I try to use completely all natural soaps these days, but as that endeavour can tend to get expensive, I always return to a bar of Dove. Woot.
My HG cleasner!! It is my absolute favorite. I love the scent the most. It gets everything off my face and doesnt leave it feeling tight. And its super cheap!
I was introduced to this by my college roommate... her skin is flawless and she told me she didn't use anything on it but the Dove beauty bar. My skin (at the time) was very congested, oily but prone to flaking and I always had at least one breakout. I began using this as my cleanser, morning and evening, and it definitely made a difference in my skin. I still have a few clogged pores around my nose, but my skin is MUCH clearer and certainly more balanced. I have tried other cleansers from time to time, but I always end up coming back to this one. I wish it wasn't a bar, but it works so well that I don't care about that too much. I usually end up throwing it away when the bar gets small and nearly used up since after a while it starts to get a little melty, but it's dirt cheap so I don't mind wasting a little product. I also like that it's easy to find in a smaller, convenient travel size so it is easy to pick a few up to take on a trip or leave at the gym (I never take full-size bars out of the house, it's just a slimy mess). Without a doubt, this is my HG skincare product. Before you spend a fortune on expensive skincare products, give this little baby a try!!!

I have already repurchased over and over again! For years I was a gel only shower/bath washer as I loved all the yummy smells, but at almost 40, I now have itchy skin that is prone to body acne if it is too moisturizing...if I am not careful anything can make my skin itchy, funny I never had this problem before! On the quest to solve this problem, stumbled upon the white beauty bar (not sensitive version) and it has worked wonders for me...it may not be the most moisturizing soap, but does not dry me out at all, no acne, and no itching, and cheap! Horray!

related to the potential for, and continued perpetuation of, unfair discriminatory practices and outcomes for minority children. The topic has struck political, legal, and emotional chords, with many in the minority population holding deep-seated skepticism about the positive benefits of assessing their children (Green, 1980; Reynolds, 1983). Some of the features that distinguish minority children in United States include racial/ethnic background, socioeconomic status (SES), cultural values, dialect/linguistic differences, historical and current discrimination, current geographic isolation, and other characteristics that marginalize a population to the majority society. In this section we provide a brief overview of the concerns about assessment of young minority children and examine the available empirical evidence on potential bias in assessing young children from birth to age 5.
The primary concerns about the assessment of this population are fairness and equality across groups. That is, there is concern that assessment tools, by their inherent properties, could contribute to the over- or underidentification of children differently across different minority population groups. Since the first assessment tools were developed, there has been long-standing concern that test scores may not necessarily reflect differences in ability or developmental milestones among children and the populations they represent, but rather demonstrate problems in the construction, design, administration, and interpretation of the assessment tests that lead them to be unfair and untrustworthy (Brown, Reynolds, and Whitaker, 1999; Garcia and Pearson, 1994; Gipps, 1999; National Association of Test Directors, 2004; Skiba, Knesting, and Bush, 2002). Most of what is known about potential bias in assessing minority children is based on school-age children and youth. Less is known about children younger than age 5 and assessment score differences between whites and blacks (Brooks-Gunn et al., 2003). Children ages 5-14 are the most extensively examined for cultural bias, mostly in intelligence testing, with most of the empirical focus on ages 7-11 (Valencia and Suzuki, 2001).
It is important for us to clarify the many definitions of "unfair"
