Hi Deborah, I love your site! I am going on a Greek cruise soon. This is the type of outfit I was planning on taking.
Do you have suggestions for other clothes I should bring for walking around the ship and going ashore? Thanks, Anne
Hi Anne,
That's a cute practical outfit that is right on for a cruise. You are going to need clothes that are lightweight, comfy and fun. Here's a few things you'll want to pack.
Breezy and Easy
A classic silk scarf top with a graphic print is the inspiration behind this floaty Michael Kors Flutter top. Pair this top with white or black capris leggings or skinny pants and you have a look that is ship-shape. Good if you over do it at the buffet- and who doesn't on a cruise!
Sexy Swimsuit
Look relaxed and cool in a shapely swimsuit that flatters your figure and shows off your curves. Be sure you never looked so good as you sip your Marguertia by the pool.
Chic in Cork!
Finding the perfect sandal to take on your cruise is always a challenge. It has to be comfy and go with a lot of your clothes. This cork sandal fits the bill. Not only does its minimalist style work with sundresses, shorts and pants, but the pretty tan shade works with about any color. Don't forget your pedicure!
Palazzo Pants
These easy relaxed pants are chic and comfy. Wear Palazzo pants with something fitted up top, a pair of cute sandals with a bit of height and a vacation tote. It's time to chill!
Ship Deck Sundress
When it calls for casual but, you still want to look a little dressy this shapely tropical sundress with cutout top is the perfect summertime choice Island Girl!
Chic Shorts
If you are into shorts then these cute and practical Bermuda shorts will go with everything. Fresh and cool for excursions. Warning! Wearing 6 inch high heels like these with these shorts may cause you to fall off the ship deck!
Do you have a favorite casual outfit you've taken on a cruise? Email a snapshot to firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to post it.

You'll get plenty done this week as the planets offer you the help you need! Just don't be so committed to your ideas that you can't switch gears on September 3, when the Virgo Sun quincunxes Uranus in feisty Aries. Luckily, a new Moon in hard-working Virgo on September 5 gives you a boost of energy to put your most ambitious plans in motion! And finally, on September 7, take advantage of opportunities when the Sun sextiles Jupiter in Cancer!
September 3: The Sun quincunxes Uranus
The Virgo Sun is practical and possesses an eye for detail; Uranus in Aries is bold and impulsive. No matter how well you prepare, disruptions and surprises can cause you to alter your plans, so if life throws you a curveball, it's time to implement a back-up plan. Whatever you do, don't sweat the small stuff -- just make the necessary adjustments and keep your eye on the ball!
September 5: New Moon in Virgo
A new Moon is always a wonderful time to start something fresh, or perhaps begin the next phase of a project you've already started. Take an opportunity to infuse your projects, dreams, and goals with Virgo's practicality to make more progress this week than you have in awhile! Helpful aspects from Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto give you extra energy, stamina, and enthusiasm. At the next full Moon (which takes place in Pisces on September 19), you'll have a chance to stand back and assess your progress. Until then, it's full speed ahead!

Jupiter in Cancer is like having a big Mama Bear benefactor in your corner, so if you've been working hard, she'll reward you. Use this time to further your goals!

Sony announced last week that its PS3 console will be able to partake in Stanford University's Folding@home project. The distributed computing project has been running since 2000 and takes advantage of the unused power of subscriber's home PCs to conduct protein folding research. The results are then sent back to the U.S. scientists to analyze, according to DrugResearcher.com. |

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 Cameron!
Facts about Cameron
- Breed: Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Cameron's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello, It is me - I am just a joy - I love to run and play - I like to bring dirt balls into my swimming pool. I am good with kids, dogs, and cats. My sister Monica would like to stay with me, if possible. If your looking for two great pups - look us up!
Other Pets at Pitter Patter Animal Rescue Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cameron, a Silver Lake Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Silver Lake, or seeking a Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Silver Lake.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Silver Lake 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 Silver Lake 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 Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Husky/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Silver Lake paves the way for another one to be saved.

"I have made this recipe for over 30 years (from Betty Crocker). I tried baking the meatballs a short time ago...but I went back to my electric skillet. The meat has a better texture and flavor when browned in a skillet, cooking the onion at the same time. Everyone who has ever had this dish just LOVES it!"
"I loved the soup. However, I made one change - I used Vegetable Broth instead of water to thin the soup. It gives a richer flavor. I also used a Southwest Chipotle sauce instead of plain hot sauce. Again, more flavorful.Served with cornbread this is a winter night delight!"

Cloud Hosting Series Part 2: VPS to Cloud?
I have to admit, I'm a bit baffled by some of the messages I've heard coming from our competitors and from customers recently about what Cloud Hosting means to our industry. I often get questions from customers and read advertising from other hosting companies that equate Cloud Hosting to being the obvious replacement for dedicated server or VPS hosting. We hear things like, "upgrade to our Cloud solution" and "host your website in our Cloud," as if your website wasn't working on its current platform, or with the advent of Cloud, your website would stop working all of a sudden.
Don't get me wrong, Cloud Hosting has its place in the market, and it will become increasingly relevant with time. In fact, as a platform, Cloud will become a necessity over the next few years. But, right now – are you ready for it?
In the SMB realm, our industry continues to sell hosting as it has since pre-Cloud days. It's all still server, VPS, or instance focused. Everything goes back to a software architecture and design philosophy that places the greatest emphasis on managing your operation on the server level, and automating as much of that operation as possible, hence the the proliferation of control panel software over the past 10 years. Control panels attempt to simplify web hosting management, a task that was previously highly technical and arcane, requiring deep knowledge, typically gained after years of experience.
If, as a customer, you think of Cloud Hosting through this server-centric lens, you won't reach the promise of Cloud. You can have your server in the Cloud, but it won't give you and your hosting company anything more than a way to more quickly and flexibly provision and bill for VPSs. If you're looking at hosting the way most do who have been consuming hosting services in the era of mass-market server virtualization, Cloud Hosting offerings in the market today can seem marvelously underwhelming. It's virtualization with provisioning automation, or — put another way — it's hosting where provisioning control has been given to the consumer.
Okay, so then why does anyone care about Cloud? What has truly captured the attention of the industry is not what Cloud Hosting currently is for the SMB community, it is the promise of what it can and will be. Cloud will revolutionize hosting, but not in the way that some seem to assume right now. It is not going to make server management more simple, or optimize the software platforms of today. And it won't simplify your life. Cloud will, however, make possible a paradigm shift in the way that applications are hosted on the Internet.
What makes Cloud revolutionary is the mental shift that it allows in developing web-based applications. The ability for the hosting consumer and/or software developer to control resource provisioning allows development that goes in a completely new direction. Cloud Hosting creates a world in which server instances are transient and disposable. The instance is no longer important — the communication and cooperation between instances is. The developer writes provisioning logic into his application because, by breaking the functional requirements out into logically separable parts, he can build a system that can auto-scale to meet individual application requirements.
The problem is that many seem to assume that they're going to bring their old applications, control panels, and knowledge to the Cloud, and that it's all going to work even better. That's not really the case. You will
be able to bring these things to the Cloud, but they will not take advantage of the true benefits of the Cloud. One solution to this problem is time – time for developers to begin writing applications to Cloud APIs and using technologies that allow for simple inter-server cooperation and synchronized data sharing and manipulation. This will naturally occur over the next few years, and it will come as a result of the creation of new development frameworks that make splitting hosting tasks into logical chunks a simple process.
Ultimately, Cloud Hosting is cool, and it is revolutionary. But right now, if you want to rush to the Cloud, ask yourself what problems you are trying to solve and who are you relying upon to solve them. For your own sake, make sure you know how your Cloud vendor will improve your operation. Otherwise, you might just end up getting sold a good old dedicated server "in the Cloud" — which you might even pay more for.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits.
If your symptoms do not improve within 2 to 3 weeks, or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
If this medicine causes you to feel very tired or very weak or causes a loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting, stop taking it and check with your doctor immediately. These may be early warning signs of more serious problems that could develop later.
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) may not work properly if you take them while you are taking rifapentine. Unplanned pregnancies may occur. You should use a different means of birth control while you are taking rifapentine. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.
Liver problems may be more likely to occur if you drink alcoholic beverages regularly while you are taking this medicine. Also, the regular use of alcohol may keep this medicine from working properly. Therefore, you should not drink alcoholic beverages while you are taking this medicine .
Rifapentine will cause the urine, stools, saliva, sputum, sweat, and tears to turn reddish-orange to reddish-brown. This is to be expected while you are taking this medicine. This effect may cause soft contact lenses to become permanently discolored. Standard cleaning solutions may not take out all the discoloration. Therefore, it is best not to wear soft contact lenses while taking this medicine. Hard contact lenses are not discolored by rifapentine. If you have any question about this, check with your doctor.
Rifapentine can lower the number of white blood cells in your blood temporarily, increasing the chance of getting infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. These problems may result in a greater chance of getting certain infections, slow healing, and bleeding of the gums. Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or a toothpick. Dental work should be delayed until your blood counts have returned to normal. Check with your medical doctor or dentist if you have any questions about proper oral hygiene (mouth care) during treatment.
Before you have any medical tests, tell the doctor in charge that you are taking this medicine.

OK. I saw some of these and decided to make one. Now I can't remember if they were grouted and can't remember if I saw them here or not and can't find them again. DUH. Could someone tell me if I need to grout these and will sanded grout work on the spoon? I still need to figure out how to hang it...would a jump ring on the center body where the wings attach work do you think? Would I need to solder the wings on? Help. Thanks, Katherine |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, how cute! How can you work with that teeny tiny stuff? I would think you would need to grout with sanded grout, the edges are probably sharp unless you tumbled them. I have no clue about the wings. By the way did you ever share how you make those windchimes? |
- Posted by kraftkrazy (My Page) on Sat, Aug 29, 09 at 21:49
if you go to the mosaic and stained glass forum and look under the mosiac forum they have some of the dragon spoonflies and i think some info on how to make them. |
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Sun, Aug 30, 09 at 9:20
What a cute dragonfly!!! I'd HAVE to grout it myself...even tho it would take away from the spoon....and it will be interesting to see how to string this guy up!?! It looks like you flattened the spoon part first? What about attaching him to a smale pole? Like a cane pole for staking flowers? |
- Posted by gardencrone (My Page) on Sun, Aug 30, 09 at 10:43
Thanks everyone. Sometimes I question myself so it is so helpful to have others opinions. Texas...call me crazy but I love to do smaller things lately. Wish I had smaller fingers tho it is like an elephant doing surgery. ABout the windchimes, I did post a "how to"..will try to find it and send you a link. I did flatten the bowl of the spoon, bought 10 for $1 at GW and started on this one because it wasn't the prettiest...well, learned something. The cheap ones are easy to flatten...the "better brands"..not so. I hammered one for several minutes with no success...so I guess if you want to pass it down to the next generation spend more on flatware...lol. I am going to take the advice and grout it..will report back. I have several waiting for this first try so we will see. Thanks again. :) |

RESOURCES/MATERIALS: Annenberg/CPB Project "Ethics in America" video series and literature packet. TV/VCR. Note: Annenberg Packet can be used with literature only. Teacher/Student groups may compose hypothetical situations. ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES: 1. Distribute handout "Ethics in America - Public Trust, Private Interests" 2. Discuss what is meant by 'public trust' and identify various government officials and their major roles. 3. Show video - hypothetical situations on political lobbying and the tactics used by officials in elections. 4. Debate the ethical issues presented in each situation and evaluate each official's choices and actions. 5. Remember: Teacher is only a moderator of the debates - allowing students to form opinions and positions independently. A group consensus is not required or necessary. TYING IT ALL TOGETHER: 1. Students independently evaluate a situation involving 'mis-use of power' and prepare a 300-500 word essay. 2. A debate may follow completion of essays during subsequent class session. 3. This lesson is drawn upon throughout the study of American Government. ETHICS IN AMERICA: PUBLIC TRUST, PRIVATE INTERESTS "Trust everybody, but cut the cards," wrote Finley Peter Dunne, and whether we want to or not, we find ourselves doing just that. Believing in the integrity, ability, or character of another is easier said than done. In a democracy, however, trust must exist between the people and their elected officials. On this episode of "Ethics in America," the panel discusses the obligations of officials to uphold the public trust, especially in those critical moments when their own interests might conflict with the best interests of the people. TRUST IN GOVERNMENT "How much of the time do you trust the government in Washington to do what is right: just about always, most of the time, or only some of the time?" This was a question asked by the Post/ABC News polling organization in seven different surveys during 1985 - 1987. The proportion of respondents expressing trust in government most or all of the time ranged between 38 and 45 percent; those saying they trusted the government only some of the time, or never, ranged from 56 to 62 percent. How would you answer this question? What particular events have influenced your trust in government? THE FABRIC OF TRUST On the program. Jeane Kirkpatrick, former U.S. Representative of the United Nations, states: "It's very important to restore the fabric of trust in our society. It's been torn really almost to pieces." Playing the role of the President in the hypothetical case study, she insists upon setting an example by trusting her Chief of Staff, who has denied a charge that he has used drugs. What do you think are the best routes to restoring trust in our society? PERSONAL TRUSTWORTHINESS Most people have a good idea about the kind of people they feel they can trust. How do you distinguish between individuals you can trust and those you can't? Do you consider yourself a trustworthy person? Can you be counted on to do what you say you will do? How does your trust in God influence the way you treat others? TABLE TALK In a scene in the film "A Man for All Seasons," Sir Thomas More explains to his daughter why he cannot take an oath in which he does not believe: "When a make makes a promise, he puts himself into his own hands like water. And if he opens his fingers to let it out, he need not hope to find himself again." During your meals this week with family or friends, talk about the promises you make to each other and to yourselves. Consider the subtle ways in which we often let our promises slip through our fingers. Which oaths would you never break?

My Favorite Tiny Human
"Each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow." That is a quote that I love by Rosemonde Gerard. I love it so much because I feel like it perfectly captures the magic of motherhood…
It's indescribable. It's deeper than you thought it could be. It doesn't feel like any version of love you've ever known before. It's a crazy growing love that seems to take over every part of your being. For some, it grows really fast like wildfire. Other times it's a slow burn. But no matter how the fire grows inside, soon enough every mom understands the intense depths of unconditional love that comes along with raising these tiny humans.I never thought I could feel this way. I never understood what I heard other people talk about. And now just once glance from this tiny human shatters me into a million tiny pieces. He is the most precious. The most tender. The most frustrating. The most beautiful. The most brilliant. He is everything I never expected.
He is my favorite tiny human.

I bought this because we were looking for an alternative to chest of drawers taking up too much space in our small bedroom. I must admit I expected the worst after reading reviews of other similar beds..complaints of broken pieces, 7 hour set up times, crazy directions, etc..So when three boxes showed up I thought I'd be at it all day and night getting this thing together if it was even in one piece. To my delight everything arrived undamaged, and matched description exactly. The assembly wasn't terrible although it will take you about 2 1/2 hours and a friend to help once you get to the point you start standing things up for assembly. Drawers glide smoothly and are actually quite a nice size. The whole thing looks great assembled and I've gotten compliments on it already from family. We did use our box spring because my hubby was worried the slats wouldn't make for a good nights sleep with just a mattress over top. Makes the bed a bit taller than we are used to but I actually like the effect...great buy for the money so far!
Overall, this was a great purchase for the price and I'm very satisfied. The assembly does require two strong people, as the pieces are extremely heavy. It doesn't look fancy by any means, but it certainly doesn't look cheap either. What I like: The size fits a queen bed perfectly and there aren't sharp corners that I bang my shins on The design is unassuming and the drawers slide very easily - no sticking or splintery pieces What I don't like: The sides are flush to the floor, but the front and back ends have very narrow openings that things can roll under (like an earring) and be extremely difficult to retrieve The bottoms of the drawers are quite flimsy so you can't really fill them all the way, and definitely not with anything heavy (like books or papers)
Great bed for the price. Assembly wasn't complicated (we did have a drill and hammer in the house to accelerate assembly). Very comfortable slat system and fantastic storage capacity with 6 full drawers (we got some drawer organizers from the Container Store and it made it even better).
The product arrived in 3 boxes on the date specified. It arrived in good condition and was assembled by me alone in about 3 hours. It appears stirdy andthe drawers are large and slide well.
It took my 19 year old son and I about 2 hours start to finish. All the parts were there and no broken pieces. For the price, I would buy this bed again..
Bought one for my daughter, loved it so much I bought another for my son!
Bed was easy to put together but drawers tend to slide open
Hands down the most worthless thing I have ever purchased. The bottoms of the drawers will fall out with in a week with very little use. It is just very thin card board by the way, that is supposed to stay in a grove. Unfortunately the card board is very bendy. Also the slats under the mattress don't stay put. The bed doesn't stay "tight" and the slats aren't long enough for the frame anymore. We bought two of these beds at the same time. After 6 months they were ready for the landfill. It was a waste of $$$
Fairly easy to assemble. Drawer function is fine, Design and appearance are also ok; I am not sure how durable the product will prove to be, time will tell
I needed a bed that would help me save space in my son's bedroom, so a bed with storage made a lot of sense. Considering the price and the product specifications, I knew what to expect and wasn't disappointed. Can't say how long it took to put the bed together because I left that to someone else, but I do know that it's definitely heavy and feels quite sturdy. As some reviewers mentioned, the bottom of the drawers are flimsy so you shouldn't store anything heavy in them, but for underwear or t-shirts and other light pieces of clothing, it's fine. I did notice that some of the drawers didn't close all the way but that could an error with the way my friend put together so I won't blame it on craftsmanship of the piece. Also the queen mattress I have is a little smaller than the frame so it's possible for things to slip between the slats and into the drawers since there isn't a box spring or plywood between the two. Overall, I'm pleased with the bed and I haven't heard one complaint from my son so it works for me. Glad I made the purchase.

Let the Light Shine up Your Life
During the Daffodils Great Ordination Ceremony in our root center in France, Plum Village, we gathered together as a community of monks, nuns, men and women from four directions. Around 300 of us where gathered in the wine country of south west France for this yearly transmission of the Five & Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings, the Precepts for Fully Ordained monks and nuns (Pratimoksha) and the lamp transmission for new Dharma Teachers.
From Deer Park a group of us including Sisters Quynh Nghiem (new Dharma Teacher), Dac Nghiem (mother of Br Phap Uyen-new Dharma Teacher) and Brother Phap Ho (new Dharma Teacher) traveled to return to the monastery where we where ordained and lived as young monk and nuns. As our trip progressed our delegation grew and arriving at Bordeaux airport there where 8 of us. At the airport two brothers were waiting for us together with my mother who had flown in from Sweden. What a great happiness to come together as a large family for such a special occasion.
Traveling the roads of rural France toward the end of a cold and snowy week, you have to take it slow...but we arrived safely. The cold humid air of winter in France seemed so familiar and the dark open space of Upper Hamlet (one of the monks temples) located on the hill of Thenac is certainly one of my dear homes. I have arrived. I am home.
In the morning of the 12th the community gathered for the opening ceremony and we walked in order of ordination from the Transformation Hall to the newly enlarged Still Water Hall (of Upper Hamlet). As we were approaching the Hall the Bell and Drum of Wisdom started their chant. The concentration of the community was a continual thunder in the cold and quite morning. Chanting the incense offering and the Heart Sutra with around 150 monastics and numerous friends that know the chants well was enough to bring the bright and unshakable light of awareness into my heart.
For the next 8 days I enjoyed ceremonies in the morning and afternoon, tea drinking and sharing with brothers, sisters and friends at midday and long evenings and walks with my mother in between. The power of joy, peace and togetherness were growing and flowing! I call the 9 days back in Plum Village - "peacefully intense".
To receive a lamp you have to offer Thay and the Ancestral Teacher an insight gatha, a poem on your insights and practice. This year 34 monks, nuns and layfriends received a lamp, the light transmitted from the large lamp of the ancestors. On of the most touching aspects of the lamp transmissions for me was that the gathas were offered in so many languages: French, Dutch, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Hebrew, Swedish, English, Laotian, American, Japanese. This reflects our world wide community. Thay offered a gatha and encouraging words about our practice so far. Helping us see clearly the direction for our continual path of practice. How wonderful to have people practicing understanding and love all over the planet. May we practice with joy and energy, so we can really be a source of healing for the planet, people, animals, plants and minerals.
As you can see our Deer Park brothers, Phap Luu and Phap Thanh are happy and healthy, now Plum Village brothers, even though it is very clear that we are all one family on the path of goodness, truth and beauty.
More photos from the Ceremonies can be found by clicking HERE.
Thank you for allowing yourself to learn and grow, to bring more happiness and peace into your life and thus into the life of us all!
In joy and togetherness! Brother Phap Ho (Br Protection)

Where you'd be spending your time — the insides — it's classic Volkswagen. It's a nice place to be, shining in terms of material quality, put together so well it feels one-piece, though for me, added flair or colour would've really sealed the deal.
All things considered, if you've got an eye out on the market for an immaculately engineered sedan in the Rs 20-25 lakh bracket, hold your horses till the second quarter of next year. From the looks of things, the Passat will arrive in a bolder and bigger fashion than before in India, and is a very worthy opponent, maybe even a notch-up, on the Accords, Superbs and Camrys that we currently have on offer. It's a well-rounded, practical, well though-out, safe and smart-looking German saloon that you wouldn't go wrong with. Don't believe me? Just ask any one of the 15 million folks who've brought the Passat home.

Do you have discolored thick toenails? Are you embarrassed to show your nails in public? If so, then Weiss Foot and Ankle Center can help. One of the first in the country to use laser therapy to treat fungal discolored nails, Dr. Weiss is at the forefront of laser nail care, successfully treating Onychomycosis painlessly with this new technology. Before the advent of laser treatment, the only products available to treat this condition were strong medications that can cause liver damage and largely ineffective liquids and creams that are time consuming to apply. The laser procedure is a quick, easy, safe and highly effective procedure that treats the fungus at the source. Dr. Weiss welcomes you to stop by for a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for nail fungus treatment. FAQ's Is the Laser treatment painful? There is no need for anesthesia or painkillers. There might be a slight sensation of heat, but that subsides quickly. The laser light passes through the toenail without damaging the surrounding skin. Does the laser treatment Work? Studies show that laser fungal treatments clear the nail of fungus as well or better than other treatments. The benefit of laser care is that only one treatment may be necessary. What is nail fungus? A fungus is an organism that lives in warm moist areas. Fungus of the toenails is a common problem that can affect people of all ages, although it most commonly affects individuals who are older. Toenail fungus often begins as an infection in the skin called tinea pedis (also known as athlete's foot). Over time it grows underneath the nail and causes changes to its appearance, such as a yellow or brownish discoloration. Is this covered by my insurance? How do I pay for the procedure? We accept most major Credit Cards (VISA and MasterCard ), Debit Cards and cash. Is the Laser Treatment also available for Fingernails? | You too can have clear nails in a ZAP!
Call (609) 561-2488 or
Complete this form for HALF PRICE on Nail Laser Treatment Plan:
What to expect...
While lasers may seem scary to some, they use safe light energy and are used daily for cosmetic procedures. Now that same state-of-the-art technology can be used to treat toe nail fungus. This safe and painless laser treatment irradiates the fungus and kills it without any damage to surrounding nail or skin.
You can visit our office for a consultation where you will be evaluated as a potential candidate for care. The laser treatment will take about 20 minutes to treat both feet. All treatments are performed by Dr. Weiss. As each toe is treated by the laser you will feel a mild, warming sensation. Many times only one treatment is necessary.
Significant improvement can be seen over one year, but many times you will notice results within 2-4 months, depending on how quickly your toenails grow. New, clear growth begins to appear at the bottom portion of your nail as the diseased portion of your nail grows out.

I have a round oak dining table, I bought from two old ladies. I love the table and have had it for 30 years now, but the top needs refinishing. The problem is since I have owned it, the seams have opened up on the top of the table, probably due to the dryer air in my house, and salt and pepper and crumbs get in the cracks. I would like to seal up these lines before I put a finish on the top. What would you reccomend? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unfortunately it looks like the wood is separating at the glue joints. It will need to be cut apart, and reglued before refinshing |
Most any short cut filling of cracks will only detract from the wonderful wood caracteristics. The table is worth saving wherther that means leaving it as is or disassembly and reassembled. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Sat, Oct 5, 13 at 10:57
This is quarter sawed American oak and probably around 100 years old. It's too late now, but if you are using it as a dining table it should have been covered. This is probably not a job for an amateur. Would suggest you discuss your problem with an antique dealer that specializes in wood furniture. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Sat, Oct 5, 13 at 22:07
With all due respect, Texasredhead, you've got a couple of posts warning about "destroying value of antiques" by doing a repair. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW AND THE DESTRUCTION OF OLD FURNITURE
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Mon, Oct 7, 13 at 10:12
With regard to the table in question I said it was probably not a job for an amateur. IMO, there are antiques that are mainly used for daily purposes and then there are professional level antiques. I have both. If your purpose is utilitarian, refinishing a piece to make it look better for your use is perfectly acceptable. Recently saw one of the Kino twins appraising a game table from the 18th century. He appraised the table at $250,000 to $350,000. He said it would be worth an additional $100,000 plus. if it had not been refinished. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Mon, Oct 7, 13 at 11:02
Flexner's point is that it may have probably needed refinished, and leaving it bare and in bad condition (after all, finishes are meant to protect the wood) may have contributed to its more rapid deterioration. You never hear the Kenos say something like, "This was a nice piece, it's too bad someone hadn't taken better care of it because it's in really bad shape now and worth very little without extensive restoration work." Those just don't make the program nor the high-end auction house they work for. |
I don't think the table is rare nor unusual but is good quility that is worth being properly rehabed rather than patched up or sent to the landfill. IMO it would be a great project for the above average hobbiest woodworker . Actually,a jointer,some cabinet scrappers,sandpaper,steel wool/scotch pads,yellow glue,clamps and good quility oil base finish would be about all that is nessary. My advise to the owner is get an estimate for repairing it and decide if they like it well enough to pay. If the cost of repair is too much,sell it to somone who will pay or has the ability to repair it. |

Does anyone here have experience with spray painting your appliances yourself? I really want a new SS DW to match the rest of my new kitchen, but can't afford it right now. I was thinking about attempting to spray my current white KA with appliance epoxy in SS color. I'm sure it won't actually look like SS, but it might be better than stark white. Besides, what's the worst that could happen. If it looks terrible, I can repaint it white. Right?

Hi Sugar -- I'm sure I've seen threads about this - have you tried searching on site:ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/appl appliance paint or some-such? I think it was often recommended to actually take the door to an auto body shop. I don't know whether it's a no-lose situation to just try it yourself first though. |
Painting almost always boils down to the prep work and the painter's skill in applying the coating. If you have a bit of experience - go for it. |

Thanks, both of you. I bought a can of Rustoleum appliance epoxy in SS. The DW has one coat on it right now (after prep). Need to wait a couple of hours and see if it needs any additional work. It looks about how I expected it to. Of course, the control panel is on the front and I can't paint that part, so it'll still have some white on it. Overall though, I think it will look better than all white until I can afford a new SS DW. |

When the bezel on an old GE range had the letters come off in cleaning it I tried to put some on with a stencil. It looked so bad I found some stainless steel tape and applied it over that part of the stove. I think you will get a more relistic finish if you can find a stainless steel surface adhesive paper. Just remove the panel and cut it carefully and then trim before putting it back. I'm sure it's out there. |

Thanks. I did find the SS look adhesive paper, but the problem with using that is the DW door is textured. I seriously doubt it would adhere correctly or look decent when done. I would have liked to have tried that because I'm sure it would look much better than the paint will. |

Here's the finished DW with the SS paint: And, for some actual SS perspective next to it: I think it looks better now than when it was all white: |
I painted an almost new dw when we did some pre sale prep. It changed from almond to black. I carefully removed the front (had to get a small star screwdriver for this). Then I gave it several coats of appliance spray paint over several days (allowing it to dry well between coats) in my improvised paint booth. The control panel was almond so I ordered a new one (about $100 bucks). For about $110 we had a dw that matched the new appliances. It worked out great. |

mnzinnia - If I planned on keeping this DW, I might consider swapping out the electronic panel for black. This is just an interim measure to quell my desire to "fix" the white DW with money I don't have. lol This will suffice until I can afford a real SS DW. :) |
Wow, that looks *great*! |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 11:25
Thanks! It's much better than the all white version, that's for sure. I think I can live with it for a while. |

I like your sink. |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 19:57
Thanks, weedmeister. It's a 36" Kraus 60/40 |
Might inquire about the cost of a black plastic control cover from parts. You should also check to see if that model is part of the group that has questionable control boards that are catching fire. |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Sat, Mar 3, 12 at 12:27
antsss - The DW is eight years old, so not sure if it is part of the meltdown group you're referring to, but I will check it out. Thanks. Incidentally, don't know if you saw my other thread in the Kitchens forum or here in the Viking owners thread, but I'm having a problem with my brand new Viking AG range right out of the box. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to read them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchens forum thread

That really turned out great! |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 10:28
Thanks. |
Re: Viking . What's the issue? If it's operator error or buyer's remorse, not much to be done. If it's a shoddy build, defective part, transit damage, you're going to have to pester Viking to come make it right. They can be a real pain sometimes on this which is why I've won't use them anymore. Is this place you bought it from helping out? |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 15:44
The issue was resolved today. An idiot at the Viking factory reversed the polarity of the wiring in the range. It's working fine now. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts/opinions on Wolf ranges? |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 21:37
I think your dw looks great! good job! |
- Posted by SugarCookies (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 22:11
Thanks, steph! |
I'd still check with parts about the black trim piece, even if it is 8 years old. |

When we checked out the reference GTX 660 just the other week we didn't find ourselves getting the same "wow" factor that we got from other GTX 600 based models like the GTX 660 Ti, GTX 670 and GTX 680. That's not to say it's not a good video card, but ultimately we found that the GTX 660 didn't hold any real surprises as it lined up almost perfectly against its main competitor, AMD's Radeon HD 7870.
Today, though, we get to take more of an in-depth look at the new model as we're able to look at not just the performance numbers, but also the temperature, power draw and noise levels with what MSI are offering us. Being part of the Twin Frozr series of course means that it's going to carry the Twin Frozr cooler and if the past is anything to go by, that's only a good thing, as it has impressed us each and every time.
We're hoping that with a retail video card in hand now we'll find ourselves a little more impressed with the new GTX 660. As always, though, before we look at the card, we've got to look at a couple of things before we get started.
The first thing we'll do is check out the package MSI is offering and the bundle. Once we've done that we'll move onto the card itself and see how the Twin Frozr cooler looks on the new model before we look at the specification side of things and see what they've done with the clocks. We'll then quickly look at our testbed, cover the cards that will be in our graphs and then get into the performance side of things.
Looking at the front of the box we can see a picture of the Twin Frozr cooler and we've got some of the main details including the model number and amount of memory.
Opening up the box we're greeted with a wealth of information including talk about MSI Afterburner, information on the Solid Caps that MSI opted to use and some of the awards that MSI have got for its Twin Frozr cooler.
Moving to the bottom portion of the box we've got a window that lets us look at the card and we've got a bunch of information regarding the Twin Frozr cooler design that tells us know why it's so special. Some of the main features include the propeller blades, nickel-plated copper base and multiple heatpipes to cover just some of the main features. Turning to the back you can see most of the information is focused on the GTX 660 and the specific features that it offers.
When it comes to the bundle we don't have a heap going on which doesn't come as a huge surprise considering this is a mid-range model. We've got a bit of paperwork along with a dual Molex to 6-pin PCIe power connector and a DVI to VGA connector to round everything off.

Hsia SH et al. – Among ethnic minority type 2 diabetic patients poorly controlled on maximum tolerated doses of metformin and sulfonylureas, third–line add–on therapy with a thiazolidinedione (TZD) controlled hyperglycemia more effectively than sitagliptin after 4 months.
Methods- In an open–label, single arm design, the authors treated 108 type 2 diabetic subjects who were sub–optimally controlled on maximum tolerated doses of metformin plus sulfonylureas with addition of sitagliptin 100 mg daily, and compared their responses against a historical control group of 104 similar patients treated with rosiglitazone (8 mg) or pioglitazone (45 mg) daily as their third–line oral agent.
- Subjects were assessed bi–monthly, and those who achieved HbA1c < 7.5% at 4 months were continued through 1 year of follow–up.
- At baseline, sitagliptin– and TZD–treated subjects had identical HbA1c (±SD) levels (9.4 ±1.8% and 9.4 ±1.9%, respectively) and similar known diabetes duration (6.7 ±5.0 and 7.6 ± 5.8 years, respectively).
- HbA1c was reduced in both groups at 4 months (p<0.001), but the reduction was greater with TZDs than sitagliptin (–2.0 ±1.7% vs. –1.3 ±1.8%; p=0.006), as was the proportion of subjects achieving HbA1c < 7.5% (61.5% vs. 46.1%; p=0.026).
- Of all subjects achieving HbA1c < 7.5% at 4 months, the same proportions in each group sustained their Hb1c < 7.5% by 12 months (59.1% vs. 57.8%). Sitagliptin was well tolerated.

Nike cramps up!
June 29, 2012 in Uncategorized
"In other words, the Italians were stonewalling the Germans (on the field too) on their growth plan, until the idea of heading in the direction of a banking union. First, banking union, then, a non austerity growth path, and then Euro bonds maybe, unlikely though."
Jozi, Jozi. 26o 12′ 16″ S, 28o 2′ 44″ E. We were slammed yesterday, there was little place to hide really, resource stocks once again weighed heavily on the overall index (the Jozi all share ended down 496 points to 33253), but the scoreboard also revealed that banks had taken a particularly hard knock. Down over two and one third of a percent on the day, it was pretty awful. The reasons around that? Well, Barclays got fined heavily (451 million Dollars) by both the UK and US authorities, and took a pasting in the British parliament (hear, hear!). All the other banks in the UK were hammered too. In addition to that, the JP Morgan scandal over losses associated with (poor) hedges associated with derivatives positions, has just gotten a whole lot bigger than the 2 billion Dollars that we were led to believe. Losses are expected to be larger than that, perhaps as much as 9 billion Dollars, but the current guesstimate is about 6 billion Dollars. Which is a large sum of money.
Again, there are calls for the heads of both Jamie Dimon and Bob Diamond, and someone needs to take the blame. Did you see the email trail from the Libor dealers involved in the manipulation? The whole "Big boy" line kills me really, that is crazy. Big banks are clearly under pressure globally, and shareholders in the US are starting to get vocal too, suggesting that full value would be revealed if there was a breakup of the institutions, that would serve everyone better is the thinking. Smaller and more nimble institutions, and government would be less worried about the whole idea of having to backstop banks. Although, the savings and loans crisis of around two decades ago, when roughly one in four "building societies" failed in the US. And when we are talking one in four, we are talking about 747 out of 3234 institutions, so smaller and more choices is not always better. And this crisis was directly linked to the real estate market falling over, the same as the last crisis. The solution? I do not think that there is one, but the notion that the gains in banking are privatised and the losses socialised, I am not quite sure that holds true. Ask the equity holders of Bank of America before and after TARP. They will tell you otherwise.
Telling us otherwise overnight were the keepers to the keys to Europe and their Euro project, which we have always maintained is just fine and intact. Sure there is a serious crisis in Europe, but that should help speed up the process of full integration. We sort of went a step closer last evening, and perhaps there was a sense from the Germans that too much austerity is not exactly helping in the short term. Maybe the thought was that there was nothing that was going to come out of the summit, and the fact that we got something is helping markets and European periphery yields this morning. And the Euro too. So what actually came out of this summit? Well the thought was that the money loaned to Spain, to then loan to their banks, would assume seniority to existing Spanish debt, well that notion has been set aside, because the funds are going directly to Spanish banks. The ESM is then the go to institution for capitalising European banks. And there would be a European banking supervisor, rather than each country having one. Good. Sounds like progress to me.
This came through from the official release on the European website: "But not only we have taken this very important decision on the euro area level but also there are other measures that are now possible in terms of short term stabilization for some countries that are now feeling special pressure and there is concrete reference here to the case of Spain. A memorandum of understanding that we hope that will be now concluded as a matter of urgency for the financial support for the recapitalization of the Spanish banking sector with an important decision that is that when the ESM becomes available, this financial assistance that is now going to be provided by the EFSF will be transferred to the ESM, without gaining seniority status. This was in fact one of the main points in terms of market confidence in this operation and also some other decisions that are possible for other countries that are fully complying with the country specific recommendations and also the European Semester, the Stability and Growth Pact and the Macroeconomic Imbalances Procedure."
Wow, loads of talk, but one gets the sense that they are getting things done slowly. After all, this is the 19th such meeting in 24 months, my wise crack was that they only need another 8 to go before they have reached the full 27. BUT, also giving us a big boost is an agreement around growth, 120 billion Euro package to create growth, which was not given the thumbs up until the short term issues were dealt with. In other words, the Italians were stonewalling the Germans (on the field too) on their growth plan, until the idea of heading in the direction of a banking union. First, banking union, then, a non austerity growth path, and then Euro bonds maybe, unlikely though.
Or maybe, never Euro bonds, who knows. Paul made a good point this morning suggesting that in time Europe could look like not so Great Britain, where the regions maintain their loyalty to a specific sporting team and heritage, but share the same economy. That would be the direction we are heading. Perhaps more an American type model. We will surely find out, but this seems a lot to me like heading towards MORE integration and not a falling or splitting apart of the zone. Take note once again, that whilst the process may seem slow and laborious, the Europeans get what needs to be done, well….. done eventually. Oh, and there was the small matter of super Mario Balotelli getting super Mario Monti to smile, and Angela Merkel to concede that they were not the better side on the day.
New York, New York. 40o 43′ 0″ N, 74o 0′ 0″ W. At face value it looked like a poor day for the markets, but the last hour saw a surge of over a percent. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 ended the session off around one fifth of a percent, down a percent and a third at one stage. The nerds of NASDAQ which were down two percent with an hour and a half to go, closed down 0.9 percent. So whilst it was a poor, horrible, no good day, it could have been a whole lot worse.
Byron's beats covers one of our stocks that reported afterhours, and I am sorry to say that the news is not that good.
- They really are brutal when it comes to earnings misses in the US. They don't have a trading update system like we do here but I guess they do release results quarterly compared to our 6 month releases. But any surprise normally brings big share price movements be it up or down. After hours yesterday Nike released Q4 results which actually looked good but missed expectations. The stock was down 12% in after market trade. Ouch. Let's delve into the numbers.
For the quarter, revenues were up 12% to $6.5bn, the biggest quarter in Nikes history. Earnings per share were down 6% from last quarter to $1.17. Expectations were for $1.37, this is why the share has dropped so much. We will deal with the reasons later. For the fiscal year, revenues came in at $24.1bn while earnings for the year equated to $4.73. That puts Nike on a high historic valuation of around 20. Gross margins for the year declined 150 basis points to a still very healthy 42.8%.
So why did we have this earnings miss? It looks like most of the criticism came from margins being crimped. I feel like I have seen this before. Last year the Amazon share price plummeted when margins were cramped because the company was looking further ahead than just quarterly results and were investing heavily. The Amazon price is now well above those levels.
The same thing has happened at Nike. This has been a big year for sporting events with the Euro football and the Olympics. This requires huge marketing costs. Demand creation expenses increased 23% to $760 million driven by these marketing requirements. Unfortunately neither Spain nor Italy are sponsored by Nike. Regardless, these expenses will take effect this last fiscal year but the sales will be felt in the following year.
There was also a slowdown in China for the quarter but still an 18% growth in the region for the year. Again, a clear indication that this last quarter was tough for everyone. On top of these issues Nike have had a big year in terms of innovation which of course requires capital expenditure. This includes new apparel, footwear and tech offerings. All this new apparel has also resulted in a big inventory expansion which also hampers margins.
In terms of prospects this from their release. "Fiscal year 2012 demonstrated NIKE, Inc.s greatest strength – innovation. We delivered an amazing number of game-changing products and services that drove record revenue growth," said Mark Parker, President and CEO, NIKE, Inc. "We also delivered solid profit growth for the year despite some headwinds in a challenging global economy, which will continue into the next year. That said, NIKE is well positioned to remain aggressive, flexible and laser-focused on the high-growth opportunities. That's how we continue to deliver long-term profitable growth for our shareholders."
We continue to like the theme and the company who are at the forefront of sport apparel. Sport gets bigger and bigger as it satisfies our natural competitive instincts while we try and embrace a healthier lifestyle. This is true for developing markets too. We will use this drop in share price as a big buying opportunity.
Some fellow on the box made me laugh, but it really was no laughing matter. When asked how the future looked for Research in Motion, he said "it is grim". Without skipping a beat, but he was right, the future for RIM looks pretty bleak. Last night the maker of the iconic Blackberry announced that they were cutting 5000 jobs and that they had made a loss. And that they were delaying the release of the Blackberry 10. 30 percent of the workforce are going to be without a job and the new phone that was supposed to rival all the cool models we see now is not going to happen in the foreseeable future.
Ahhh, nuts. As of close of business last evening, RIMM had a market cap of 4.8 billion Dollars. Minus fifteen percent in the aftermarket (down -15.12 percent actually to 7.75 Dollars), the stock is getting crushed, that comes to just more than 4 billion Dollars market cap. And that puts the Microsoft purchase of Yammer into perspective, just a few days ago, of 1.2 billion Dollars. No buyers here yet. I feel sorry for the stockholders, sorry for the employees, I guess the consumer just found a more awesome phone, from Samsung and Apple. Nokia staffers know their pain. So where does this all end up? Perhaps like Palm, someone will eventually pony up some money to buy parts. Time to get a new phone? I think not yet.
Currencies and commodities corner. Dr. Copper is last at 342 US cents per pound, higher than yesterday, that is for sure. The gold price is also higher at 1569 Dollars per fine ounce, the platinum price has also joined in the rally, up at 1408 Dollars per fine ounce. The oil price is also higher at 79.89 Dollars per barrel. The Rand is much stronger as it is risk on folks, the Europeans have saved the day. Again. Well, Buffon saved Italy, and at least the Europeans were not buffoons. The Rand is last at 8.25 to the US Dollar, 12.87 to the Pound Sterling and 10.39 to the Euro. Perhaps we would be better today than Europe is, if it were not for the strengthening Rand. But, the firmer Rand is good for all of us, or most of us I guess.
