Terracotta pots are great for houseplants because they breathe. They also absorb minerals, especially salt, from water and can get a crusty buildup on the rim. Leaves and stems that touch this buildup will sometimes wilt and die. To avoid this problem, you can wax the pot.
Save old candles and simply rub them around the rim of the pot to seal the terracotta. Any kind will do--colored, scented or plain.
Set the pot and the candle stub in the warm sun for an hour or so before rubbing. That way the wax rubs on easier and better penetrates the clay.
Every six months you may have to flush excess minerals from the potting soil by pouring water through the pots until it runs out clear. Waxing the rim of each pot saves scraping away the crusty deposits, and your plants almost never lose a leaf or a flower to mineral damage.

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 Kendall!
Facts about Kendall
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Kendall's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Kendall, 70 lbs, young, very sweet! She is so gentle and greatful for the smalles gesture of love. Rescued Jan. 5, 2012 in the Everglades. Come visit her at Imperial Point AH, Ft. Lauderdale. She is completely vetted and vaccinated! http://www.facebook.com/ABANDONEDDOGSEVERGLADES
Other Pets at 100PLUSANIMALRESCUE, INC.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kendall, a Ft. Lauderdale German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Ft. Lauderdale, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Ft. Lauderdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ft. Lauderdale 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 Ft. Lauderdale 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 German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ft. Lauderdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

1:05 p.m.: Bidder 6 upped the ante at 1 p.m. with an online auction bid of $2,205,000 for the old federal building.
5 a.m.: Bidder 3 now holds the top bid after submitting an offer of $2,180,000 at 1:32 a.m. Monday.
INITITAL REPORT: Whoever bidders number 3 and 6 are, they really want that building.
The bidding between the two parties for the old James F. Battin Federal Building in downtown Billings continued Sunday, with bidder six putting in the current top offer of $2,155,000 for the building.
The bid came in at about 12:20 p.m. Sunday, just 40 minutes before Bidder 3's Saturday morning offer of $2.13 million would have won.
The two have been bidding back and forth for the building since April 27, and the current bid will win if somebody doesn't make a higher offer by 12:20 p.m. Monday.
Bidding began April 23.
The building, which was completed in 1965, housed several agencies and U.S. District Court. Asbestos in the building caused the federal government to build a $80 million federal courthouse.
Several federal agencies will soon move out of the old courthouse and into a separate $30 million office building.

Ficus benjamina
Benjamin Tree , Benjamin Fig, Weeping Fig
Evergreen, Trees
FICUSThe average gardener would never expect to find the commercial edible fig, small-leafed climbing fig, banyan tree, and potted rubber tree under one heading—but they are classed together because they bear small or large figs (inedible in most species). Ornamental types are discussed here; for sorts grown for tasty fruit, see Fig. Many ornamental species make good houseplants. Generally, they thrive on rich, steadily moist (not wet) soil, frequent light feedings, and bright, indirect light.
Ficus benjaminaFrom India and Malaysia. One of the most popular houseplants, this is easily held to 7 ft. high and 4 ft. wide indoors. Outside, it's large: In Hawaii, it's fast growing to 60 ft. tall with an even greater spread. Good shade or specimen tree for larger gardens or parks, since it requires space for its invasive surface root system. In Southern California and Arizona, the plant reaches about half the size it does in Hawaii and is often used as an entryway or a patio tree; also good as a screen, espalier, or clipped hedge. Leathery, 5-in.-long, shiny green leaves are densely clothed in drooping branches.
New plants are easy to start from cuttings taken between late spring and early summer. Give a frost-free, wind-protected location in sun or shade.
Sudden leaf shedding is a common problem, often resulting from the plant being moved to a new location. If shedding begins shortly after a move, be patient; the leaves usually grow back. If the leaves that fall are green, insufficient water is another possible cause; try to keep the soil evenly moist. If the fallen leaves are yellow, overwatering may be to blame. If shedding is accompanied by a sweet smell and sticky leaves, look for and control scale insects.

OLYMPIA -- Acting on a recommendation from the state Public Disclosure Commission, the Attorney General's Office today filed suit against the political action committee Permanent Offense and campaign leaders Tim Eyman and Suzanne Karr for alleged violations of Washington's Public Disclosure Act.
Complaint"EymanComplaint.doc" (MS Word 44K)
The suit, filed in Thurston County Superior Court, alleges Eyman and Karr made payments to Eyman for services provided to Permanent Offense PAC by moving money from Permanent Offense PAC to Permanent Offense, Inc., to conceal the fact that payment was being made to Eyman.
According to the complaint, Permanent Offense, Inc., a separate for-profit corporation established by Eyman and Karr, billed Permanent Offense PAC for campaign services. Money received from the PAC through Permanent Offense, Inc. was then paid to Eyman without disclosure to the public as required by law.
Other alleged violations of the Public Disclosure Act include:
The lawsuit seeks civil penalties against the defendants in an amount to be determined at trial, as well as injunctive relief and all costs of the investigation and enforcement.
The lawsuit follows a recommendation Tuesday from the Public Disclosure Commission that the Attorney General's Office file suit, based on an investigation conducted by Commission staff.

My home has a heat loss of 60k btuh and a heat gain of 40k btuh based on the manual J calc & I live in a fairly temperate climate. Electricity is significantly cheaper than gas (per btu) so we're looking at the better heat pump options. Some systems are 4 ton because 3.5 ton are not made and others are 4 ton because the installer says it's needed for the higher efficiency systems. The attached image file is a snip from my spreadsheet showing the various systems (furnace btu is what goes into the house based on AFUE). All installers are NATE cert'd and Angie's list A-rated. Comments r.e. design and price are welcome, thanks!

Follow-Up Postings:
One thing to note is that the Carrier dealer only recommended an 80 AFUE gas furnace (V.Speed fan) because it would rarely be used. The other dealers were pushing the 95+ AFUE furnaces. |

What is location? What size system are you replacing? Just to be clear, you have nat gas service to your home already? What size living area is your home? What is your nat gas and electric rate? Post back. IMO |
location: Portland, OR Size: No existing A/C, replacing 80 AFUE furnace (90 or 92k btu on the plate, I can't remember exactly... we're ~80kbtu effective) gas already exists @ the install location electric: $0.15 kwh (with HP it may push into the next pricing tier of $0.30 kwh) gas: Currently $0.45 / therm; 10yr high is $0.85/therm |

Umm... Your electricity is significantly more expensive than NG so a heat pump looks like a horrible idea (and I rarely say that). |
My apologies... I looked @ the listed rates online and not at my bill. I called my wife at home and here are our current rates: gas - $1.08 per therm. Our peak usage last winter was 250 therm over a 30 day period. |
Annual gas usage with 80 AFUE furnace is 1650 therm. We have 2 gas fired water heaters, one of which is rarely turned up (it drives a radiant heat system in our in-law suite). |
I did my own analysis using daily temperatures for the past few years to determine the required daily BTU for a given day. In general, it would be extremely rare for the gas furnace to turn on if I gave priority to the heat pump (~$20 to run the gas furnace for the least efficient option). If I factor in initial equipment cost, the Carrier Greenspeed becomes the least expensive option by the end of year 3. Does anyone have any comments r.e. pricing and/or quality? Thanks! |

With your climate and the Greenspeed, you might not need a furnace at all. I mean, how often does Portland get to 17F? However, the Trane XL15 system is $2000+ cheaper, probably more so if you went with an %80 furnace. Could you compute how long it would take for the Greenspeed system's savings to make up the difference? |
weedmeister, I calculated that the Greenspeed would save me ~$750/yr in utilities versus ~$200-$250 for the other options (HSPF=9). IMO, this is primarily due to the Greenspeed's larger heating capacity at low temperatures. I assumed a linear relationship between delta-T and heat loss in the home to reach this conclusion. So, it would take ~4 years to make up the cost differential. Also, the Carrier 16 fared better than the Trane XL15 and is similar in cost. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 17:10
If going Greenspeed which I really think is overkill. I would go all electric w/heat strip backup. Otherwise, go conventional high eff HP with 80% eff two stg VS furnace. Your location/climate has a mild winter heating season climate. IMO |

Joanna Carpenter charts progress in open access and its implications for the public.
These are interesting times in scientific publishing. Buzzwords include open data, data mining, and of course open access.
Research Councils UK (RCUK) has recently revised its open access policy [1], clarifying its position on how researchers should publish the fruits of their research council-funded work, and who will pay. The policy took effect on 1 April 2013 and will be reviewed in 2014.
In the United States, an online 65,000-signature petition has asked for 'free access over the Internet to scientific journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research.'
Since 2007, over 27,000 institutions and researchers have signed a European Union petition [2] calling for open access.
Public demand?
Stephen Curry, Professor of Structural Biology at Imperial College London, who blogs about open access, hopes it will stimulate public demand, which is currently relatively low. 'They don't even know it's there,' he remarks.
Virginia Barbour is Chief Editor of PLOS Medicine [3], an online open access journal. 'If a paper gets a large number of html views but a relatively low number of pdf downloads,' she says, 'that's usually an indication of more general engagement rather than scientific engagement.' Lots of people link to the journal from news sites which cite a journal article and say it's freely available. Twitter, she says, also drives people to the journal: 'that's a mixture of academics using twitter, there are a lot of people doing that, but also the educated lay audience looking at articles.'
Curry believes open access is important for interested members of the public. He hopes authors and journals will respond. 'There are problems of intelligibility,' he says, explaining that some sort of non-technical summary may be required.
PLOS Medicine publishes an `Editors' Summary' of all original research articles. It's the only PLOS journal to do so although other journals have author summaries. Barbour says: 'We wanted papers to be available not only physically but intellectually.'
Curry doubts editorial staff could provide summaries of all research papers. 'Authors would [need to] be involved in this, though for some it would be a steep learning curve,' he observes.
Barbour is clear that open access is sustainable financially. 'PLOS posted a surplus now for the last two to three years,' she says. 'Everything that we make goes back into the business... to fund innovation.'
RCUK's new policy sets out the research councils' expectations during a transitional period, combining the approaches of free online access either immediately (`gold') or deferred by several months (`green'). The gold model is often funded by the author paying an `Article Processing Charge' (APC).
Alexandra Saxon, Head of Communications at RCUK, explains the policy's aim of maximizing economic and societal return: 'We can achieve that… through open access, so that all users of research have access to that research, [and] they're not paying for it twice, both through the public funding of the research and for the subscription to [journals].'
This argument is echoed by the Obama administration in the US, where (partly in response to the petition) plans have been announced to extend open access to federally funded research: '…broader access can accelerate scientific breakthroughs, increase innovation, and promote economic growth… Moreover…. Americans should have easy access to the results of research they help support,' it declared.
The UK government has been criticized for pushing towards the more costly gold model, although the US and Europe appear to be moving towards green, but Saxon says this is unfair. 'Quite a few other countries are going for a similar mixed model approach,' she says.
Saxon rebuffs criticisms that the taxpayer is paying twice in the transition period by funding APCs and subscriptions. Rushing changes might run the risk of 'destabilizing the whole system,' she warns.

CalServe K-12 Service-Learning Initiative
The CalServe Initiative (CalServe) was established within the California Department of Education (CDE) in 1990 with federal funding provided through the National and Community Service Act. This legislation was reauthorized in 1993 and created the Corporation for National and Community Service , which established Learn and Serve America as one of the streams of community service. During 1990 through 2012, CalServe provided funding to California's county offices of education, districts, and schools to support the statewide implementation of the instructional method known as service-learning. Federal funding for Learn and Serve America was eliminated from the 2011–12 budget, which eliminated the funding to support CalServe's partnerships. Many school districts continue to support the use of service-learning as an important instructional method.

ConocoPhillips has agreed to pay state and federal environmental regulators more than $312,000 in penalties and other costs related to a pair of corrosion-induced oil spills at the Kuparuk River oil field facility on Alaska's North Slope.
The penalties stem from separate oil spills in 2006 and 2007, both of which were caused by corrosion in flow lines that carry a mix of crude oil, water, gas, and solids from production wells to processing centers.
ConocoPhillips has agreed to pay a total of $312,000 in state and federal fines stemming from two oil spills caused by pipeline corrosion in Alaska.
State and Federal Penalties
ConocoPhillips agreed to repay the state $112,273 for the investigation and spill oversight costs and $78,283 in civil assessments for the March 2006 spill and $77,009 for the December 2007 spill, according to the agreement released by the Alaska Department of Conservation on Monday (Dec. 17).
The agreement also requires the company to finish the restoration of approximately .32 acres of land impacted by the spills.
In March 2006, about 500 gallons of water contaminated with small amounts of crude oil spilled from the company's refinery. An investigation conducted by ConocoPhillips, with participation from the state DEC, found that several factors caused internal corrosion, leading to the leak.
The December 2007 leak released 2,870 gallons of contaminated water and 1,386 gallons of crude oil. It was determined that incorrectly manufactured pipe insulation allowed water to be drawn to the pipe's sidewall, the state said.
In the 2007 incident, ConocoPhillips and responders built snow berms to contain the spill and constructed a 300-yard-long ice road in subzero cold to improve access to the site, the EPA reported. The teams removed pollution with shovels and hot water. The oil was eventually hot-flushed from the ground then recovered from the snow.
Both spills happened at the company's Kuparuk River oil field facility.
"We are glad to bring this legal matter to a successful conclusion and to focus on the lessons learned from these two events," state Attorney General Michael Geraghty. "It is important that appropriate measures be instituted to prevent these types of events from occurring in the future."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will receive $45,000 for the 2007 incident.
Remedial Measures
The settlement agreement states that ConocoPhillips will take remedial measures to address the risk of similar leaks in the future, including improvements to its program to monitor for evidence of corrosion in its flow lines.
ConocoPhillips is spending significantly on pipeline inspection, asset renewals such as pipeline replacements, and upgrades in "pigging" infrastructure, said Natalie Lowman, a company spokeswoman, in an email to Businessweek.
"The cause of these releases are reminders of the complexities of pipeline corrosion and the need to continually reassess and rapidly adapt to changing operating conditions in order to prevent spills," said Larry Dietrick, DEC's director of Spill Prevention and Response.
"DEC has instituted new requirements for leak detection, monitoring, engineering reviews, reporting and inspections for flow lines since 2007 because of risks of corrosion as evidenced by these and other leaks that have been experienced on the North Slope," he said.
Alaska's Largest Oil Producer
Headquartered in Houston, TX, and operating in almost 30 countries, ConocoPhillips is Alaska's largest oil producer.
The company has major ownership interests in two large oil fields on Alaska's North Slope, including Kuparuk, which the company operates, and Prudhoe Bay.

For the vast majority of American news consumers, the answer to these questions is "no," and that's hardly surprising. During the waning years of the twentieth century, the amount of international reporting by most domestic media outlets was in steady decline, and while that equation has improved to some degree since 9/11, the overseas stories that get the most coverage these days are generally related to terrorism, U.S. military action, natural disasters such as December's Asian tsunami and last month's Indonesian earthquake, or, in recent weeks, Camilla Parker Bowles. As a result, suffering of the sort that's taking place in Uganda -- where captured boys are forced to take up arms against the government of President Yoweri Museveni and seized girls are turned into sex slaves -- seldom receives the attention it deserves.
That's where Jim Chesnutt comes in. He's the president and founder of Denver-based News Corps International, a small but committed enterprise dedicated to reporting important humanitarian stories that are being given short shrift by the mainstream media. Chesnutt and News Corps vice president Mark Amann recently returned from Uganda, where they spent four weeks between mid-February and mid-March, and a sample of their labors can be found at NCI's Internet destination, www.newscorps.com. The site's home page features a photo of Wilborne, a thirteen-year-old boy who was hospitalized after being wounded in a firefight with government soldiers. "He had been abducted three years earlier, and he told me how the LRA had made him fight and kill," Chesnutt says. "His best estimate was that he had killed twenty people, and yet he looked like the sweetest kid, and seemed as gentle as anyone you could ever meet. That was pretty powerful. It's amazing what any of us would be capable of if there was a gun to our head."
Equally wrenching to witness were the extremes to which many Ugandans must go to prevent their offspring from being snatched by LRA personnel. "Rebels typically come into villages at night, and the locals can't fend them off," Chesnutt notes. "So each evening, up to 50,000 children become night commuters. They wander from the villages along dirt roads to the few city centers, and are sheltered at night in churches and parks by people from aid agencies. They stay overnight, wake up in the morning, and go back home. That's life for a child in northern Uganda."
For Chesnutt, News Corps is an opportunity to get back to his reporting roots. After earning a journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin, he held a series of broadcast-news jobs in Wisconsin and Minnesota before becoming a spokesman for charitable organizations such as the American Red Cross. He subsequently signed up with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and served as a member of FEMA's photo-documentation team in New York City following the attacks on the World Trade Center. Because of his employment as a FEMA disaster worker, News Corps was conceived as a side project -- and an awfully ambitious one, at that. Chesnutt believed that the press often steers clear of humanitarian topics in the Third World because of the cost involved in covering them -- but if someone else gathered the material at a reasonable price, he thought, news purveyors might be more interested. Under that scenario, sales of reports in a variety of formats would fund future missions even as they spread the word about overlooked calamities to a significant audience.
Turning this idea into reality hasn't been easy. Chesnutt's efforts have been seen on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS, but money remains extremely tight. As he puts it, "We're technically for-profit. We just don't make a lot of it." Moreover, he hasn't always found takers for all of his offerings, no matter how worthy they may be. In 2004, News Corps went to Egypt to examine "an effort between Christians and Muslims to try and conduct grassroots development, which accomplishes a couple of things. It builds bridges across cultures and also reduces the dependence of these villages on any service that may be provided by militant groups." But for whatever reason, Chesnutt concedes that "we got very, very little coverage. They were making real progress, but it was admittedly difficult to convey in a salable news story." News Corps had nearly as tough a time peddling accounts from the latest famine to strike Ethiopia. "It was incredibly compelling, but who hasn't heard that story over and over again since 1984?" he asks. The lukewarm response underlined the challenge he'd set for himself of "covering stories that had already been passed over by those who make wise news decisions."

The Chattanooga Lookouts came out swinging Thursday night, and for that night, AT&T Field was a home run haven.
Bashing Montgomery pitchers for four homers, two coming from a revitalized Joc Pederson, the Lookouts scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back in throwing an 8-3 verdict on the Biscuits.
The final game of the series and homestand is tonight at 7:15 with bragging rights hanging in the balance.
Pederson, who led the Southern League in hitting in early June but was at .299 coming in, got the Lookouts going in the first inning with his 12th homer of the year, a two-run rocket to center with Rafael Ynoa on board.
Before Biscuits starter Victor Mateo (2-8) could find refuge in his dugout, the Lookouts added a few more to the scoreboard on a three-run blast from Angelo Songo, his second as a Lookout.
Thus empowered, Lookouts starter Duke von Schamann was able to shake off a leadoff homer by Kevin Kiermaier in the first. He worked five solid innings to earn his first Chattanooga win in 2013.
Montgomery would add solo runs in the second and fifth innings, but the Lookouts had another big inning up their sleeve.
In the seventh, Pederson greeted reliever Austin Hubbard with his second homer of the night. Then with one out, J.T. Wise followed a Brian Cavazos-Galvez single with his fourth homer of the year to open up the final margin.
There was no save awarded in the game, but Chattanooga relievers followed von Schamann with four shutout innings, and the four combined pitchers struck out 10 and walked no one.
Pederson's big night lifted his season mark back to .302.

My Photosmart 8450 quit printing. I printed a photo with it a couple days ago just fine. I was going to print a second photo and it just would not print. So I tried just printing a document and would not print.
There are no error messages, all the lights come on, and I have tried unplugging it and then retrying to print. No luck. There is nothing in the manual under troubleshooting for a printer that just won't print. Any ideas????? (I hope) Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
START>Printers>right click on the printer entry. Is is set as the default printer? Have you used any system cleaners in which you removed drivers, registry entries, etc.? Have you uninstalled or installed any applications? When all else fails uninstall all the HP software and drivers according to the HP instructions, and re-install according to the HP instructions. DA |
Another thing to try is just to delete the printer, unplug the USB cable from the computer side, then after restarting Windows, plug it back in and let the drivers install. Might save the time of that very lengthy install. |
damccoy, it is set as the default printer. I have not used any system cleaners nor have I uninstalled or installed any applications. pkponder, before I uninstall and re-install as damccoy suggested, I would like to try what you suggest. I will get back to you when I have a chance to try it---have to go to work. thanks |
I had to uninstall and reinstall as you suggested, damccoy. Now it works. Thanks |
As always, more than welcome. With printers, particularly with HP models, when all else fails. Thanks for reporting the results. DA |

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
CAUTION: This is a lot of information!
First and foremost, going into escalation you need to have awareness. Awareness is THE key to winning escalation. i dont know if escalation can be played immediately or only after a certain level but it should be the latter. the minimum for this game mode should be at least level 20. I know thats high and slightly unreasonable but seriously, this game mode requires awareness of the battle field that new players don't have and can't compensate for until they reach about that level.
Definition of Awareness for the sake of the thread:
Awareness- the ability to survey the battlefield and establish several things, sometimes simultaneously.
These things include but are not limited to:
Awareness is important in every game mode but in escalation, the chaos of 3 factions being on a single map increases it's importance tenfold.
"Go to letter " : Letter x is not a priority of your pmc. If your PMC is attacking letters B and C, your PL should not tryto get your PMC to attack letter A. It's counter productive to winning which is the overall goal here. Basically, threefactions trying to take 1 letter makes that letter a clusterf*ck that isn't in your team's favor. It's across the map and whileyou are fighting for it, another PMC will easily take and hold a letter you were SUPPOSED to be attaining.
"Everybody go to D" : the match just started. You don't get points for taking D away from the enemy unless you've already had it. While this can play into a tricky scheme to win the game, i'd advise against using it.
"Cut off 's path to D" : X is the faction that didn't open objective D. The other faction trying to take D back are temporarily on your side as they are trying to achieve the same goal as you. Once D is locked again feel free to kill them then if you want.
"Okay everybody to D now!" : This one is actually a bit tricky. While you want to immediately get to D once the letter has been opened to get the advantage, if an enemy faction is immediately taking the room as soon as you opened it, assume that the room is overrun. Leaving the letters would be counterproductive as it only takes 2 people with sensor jammers to take 2 rooms for the faction holding the room to D. If you ran to D in the hopes of clearing everyone out so that you can hold the room, you are no longer in a position to take them back should you fail and they will have the room pretty much locked down.
You as a player have to understand three things at the same time.
If the matchup is even or you are losing and the enemy holds another objective, ask for the SL to call for help from another side (*NOTE this is only possible if the other side HAS their objective and they are not in the same situation as you) . It is important to do this immediately to avoid the dominant team from taking D. Also, if you're team is dominating a letter but the other letter you are responsible for is falling/has fell, send some troops to take it and unlock D.
This is the most difficult part.
This info is for taking letters back from dominating factions. We will refer to this faction as the faction holding D (FHD). When a FHD is dominating the game, it is important that you try to do 2 things.
If you are doing the latter plan, make sure that once the other attacking squad takes D, immediately go back to the letters. the temporary truce is over unless the FHD miraculously takes D back from the other faction who should have now filled the room up. If that happens, wait for them to come back and try again. this time hold the FHD back for a little longer before running back to the letters.
As for methods on how to take the initial letters, that is up to your team for the match (or PL if they are going to establish that kind of command).
whitefox_black wrote:you need bullet points and large-fonted introductory phrases.
would have done so if my forum posting wasn't acting funny. it took me a while just to get this posted because it kept saying something was wrong with the post.
Catrina_ wrote:thanks for this post i just bought escalation for the guns.
many people will argue that aside from the tamsen all those guns aren't useful so idk. i think you made a better choice in buying it for escalation. by far the only fair game mode in the game. the only game mode that actually requires a different playstyle then rushing, running & gunning, and the zerg rush. more people should play it but they wont because they only want game modes where they can be OP.

ORIENTAL PARTY on www.bettybake.co.za
In February this year was my daughters Oriental Party. To have a look at the invites I made, take a look here. I have finally got round to editing the photos.
low oriental inspired table to eat at. |
I started with the colour scheme of white as a base colour and then used red, black and different shades of orange as accents and touches of blue.
Oriental figurines |
I found this cute Japanese figurine couple at a 2nd hand shop. They formed the center piece for the table surrounded by mirror boxes filled with red, orange and yellow flowers.
Each girl had a pillow to sit on, a square dish, a pair of chopsticks and an oriental jelly sweet that I made. For the candy/jelly sweet I made a version of this Agar-Agar Candy
Homemade sushi |
For the main course I made sushi. (I had to get up really early in the morning to make it so it would be fresh for the party) maybe next time I will order it from a good sushi restaurant.
pink and white coconut ice AND pink and white home made marshmallows |
In between the flowers were little white bowls of treats. As it was an all girls party – most of the food/treats were pink and white. Pink and white coconut ice and pink and white marshmallows (marshmallows were made by my sister in-law).
Party packs in Chinese take away boxes |
I bought Chinese take-away boxes and filled them with pink and white sweets, a little Chinese purse, some hello kitty stickers and other cute things. Tied it up with black packaging ribbon and a black feather with a silver gem stuck on top. Label each box individually with the girls name with a picture of a Chinese lantern next her name.
Party packs ready for happy little girls to take home |
alice band accesories |
For our craft for the party the girls made Alice band/ head bands with feathers, flowers and jewels.
Other games played were fishing for paper koi fish were they won prizes of little silver rings- which all the girls seemed to love.
(I also had pass the parcel ready with little prizes wrapped in Chinese newspaper between each layer but never got round to playing it.)
my daughter picked jewels to decorate her cake – so I borrowed these from my mom, they were my grans.
And the cake – my daughter had no idea I had made her a rainbow cake, so when the cake was cut it was a huge surprise. I used Whisk Kids famous recipe for rainbow cake but i made mine gluten-free
Rainbow cake |
It was very delicious cake

Rated 4 out of 5 by KellyKellyKelly They do their job!
They are easy to install and keep baby from choking on the kind with the removable ends. My son managed to get one of those ends off and put it in his mouth, from the other kind. So I did not hesitate to replace them with these ones, and so far no problems. Perhaps they could be a little more flexible or "rubbery", but other than that they are fine.
October 5, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 by KVegas Ok, but could be better
These door stops have served their purpose... our son kept taking off the screw-on springy stops that came in our house. These stay put, and eliminate the choking hazard of the little rubber end piece. However, these are not flexible at all, so when our son stands on them, which he's discovered he loves to do, they either snap in half or the whole thing pulls out of the door. We've not found any other solution, and we have another baby on the way, so we just keep replacing these...

Pink Triangle: Installation & Commemoration Ceremony
Saturday | June 28 | 2014, 10:30am
Top of Twin Peaks
Installation from 7 am - 10am
Commemoration Ceremony at 10:30 am with elected officials and grand marshals
Top of Twin Peaks, San FranciscoThe Pink Triangle, organized every year by Patrick Carney, has been installed for each Pride weekend since 1996 as a visible yet mute reminder of man's inhumanity to man. This will be the 19th Pink Triangle display. The community has embraced the pink triangle as a symbol of pride, though it was once used in an attempt to label and shame. We must remind people of the hatred of the past to help educate others so that what happened in the Holocaust won't be forgotten and won't be repeated.
Many hardworking volunteers make the display possible every year by climbing the hill and installing over 175 bright pink canvasses and thousands of steel spikes. It can be seen for 20 miles.
To volunteer:

TrueCrypt Website Says To Switch To BitLocker
Re:Fishy (566 comments)
Um, anyone using Windows should trust Microsoft enough to use their disk encryption. Or they shouldn't be using Windows at all.

Re:Fishy (566 comments)
Um, anyone using Windows should trust Microsoft enough to use their disk encryption. Or they shouldn't be using Windows at all.
um too late dude (277 comments)
These TVs already run Linux.
why no DVR (277 comments)
Why doesn't that thing have a DVR, in addition to all the streaming.
I looked around for a prebuilt MythTV system and basically haven't found anything.
example? (182 comments)
I can think of a couple like GStreamer and Telepathy, but in both cases the support isn't 100% yet. And both are really crossdesktop from the beginning (Telepathy is just a DBus spec after all)
It was either that or switch Symbian to Hildon (182 comments)
Nokia wants a common platform across their internet tablets and smart phones. Given that the Symbian is going to support Qt, and the Symbian user base is much greater, its makes sense that Maemo would want to have access to the 3rd party apps written for the user base that numbers in the millions
And really it was clear in the talk he gave that the Maemo stack is still mostly unchange, and still using most of the Gnome libraries including crucial stuff like Tracker. Really even with the change in UI toolkit, its more Gnome then KDE, especially as none of the Maemo stack actually originated from the KDE community, where as much of it did from the Gnome camp.
Re:Simple solutions are possible (248 comments)
Dumping fertilizer into the sea would also work to absorb CO2 by promoting the growth of sea plant life.
But any of these more biological solutions aren't really as easy as they first appear. Some forests produce large amounts of methane due to rotting plant material. In otherwords, some forests might actually just be greenhouse gas neutral (which makes sense, ecosystems work because they don't mess stuff up).
So yea. Capping emissions is a good idea.
Re:2.8.x kernel soon? (341 comments)
Well they changed their whole development methodology that they don't have an unstable branch anymore and do feature releases about every 6 months. So kind of.
Re:2.8.x kernel soon? (341 comments)
There are no plans for an unstable branch. Without a 2.7, there will never be a 2.8.

They aren't compatible, different powers on different units.
Re:officially its an adjective (210 comments)
Says who? Your authority is aspell? Give me a break.
I would say "that's a lot of legos".
Re:officially its an adjective (210 comments)
Its the LEGO Group... they're still using it as an adjective.
But yes of course its a noun. It does make sense to use legos since thats a pretty common way of saying it. I say "pass me that lego" and "we keep the legos downstairs." If you pointed at a pile of lego blocks and said "pass me the lego" I would say "which one?"
This follows rules for plurals just fine.
Yes collective nouns do exist in English and cutlery is an example. Dog is an example of a non-collective noun if somehow this proves something? But the closest we have to an establishment for legos is the LEGO Group and they deny its even a noun. So people claiming they know better about how to speak... are just making crap up. There's no English Academy, our language is dictated by usage.
you can just sod off with your (210 comments)
"standard" English.
Modern American English has as much right to be considered standard: its dictionaries are just as old, its history just as deep, its evolution from 17th century English no greater.
I'm guessing British people get up in arms about whats "standard" since half their country doesn't speak anything like standard. The US does have its share of accents, but the ones in Britain are far more divergent and widespread. So get your own house in order before you start declaring that you own the standard.
officially its an adjective (210 comments)
If you look at the website:
Of course if its an adjective then "legos" is nonsense.
In common usage it is in fact a noun: the OED defines "Lego" as a noun. The plural of a noun has an 's', with the handful of well-established exceptions.
Who decided that LEGO was an exception? Not the LEGO Group who say its only an adjective. So I think its the fact that the LEGO Group never says "LEGOs" (since they always uses it as an adjective) caused misguided pedantic people (or otherwise any lover of arbitrary rules) to decide that its a plural noun.
So put me in the legos camp.
China knows their contraception (519 comments)
Once this thing is actually approved used in China, there's no reason to doubt it.
Re:Bad science (519 comments)
You don't understand the stat. When talking about contraceptives, the x out of 100 chance is the chance a woman will become pregnant in a given year of being sexually active.
For a male contraceptive I guess its the chance of becoming a father in a year... a bit harder to prove.
But its not the chance of pregnancy every time they have sex or whatever you were imagining lol.
does Iran seriously censor Obama? (171 comments)
I seriously doubt the Iranians censor much in the way of non-pornographic English material.
Re:software? (92 comments)
At that point you might as well wipe it and install Ubuntu. Which you can probably do fairly easily.
whats wrong with a thinkpad? (92 comments)
Their ultramobiles are small and powerful and expensive (with relatively long battery life).
Browsing the web on an ARM is a bit of slow going.
I look forward to the new ARM netbooks and their reviews. The low cost is really half the point though.
Re:yea light rail is needed to (1385 comments)
On busier lines here, there's one track I suppose.
The point is I've never had to wait for another train to pass when riding a train in Europe.
Re:yea light rail is needed to (1385 comments)
Upgrade the freight trains? You miss the point. British Rail doesn't share the rails with freight, why should Amtrak? Cause actually Amtrak is just borrowing the rails from the freight companies, which is why they always have priority.
Regulation is a stupid non-solution to a real world problem, lol.
