No Feel-Good News on CBS
VF Daily watched last night's newscasts on NBC, CBS, and ABC so you didn't have to.
Minutes Spent on Politics, Weather, Health, the Economy, and Feel-Good Fluff
NBC Rundown: Brian Williams led with an update on economic woes, then introduced a report on General Motors' efforts to rally from their struggles. Williams then covered yesterday's Guantánamo interrogation-tape revelation before moving on to the war of words between Barack Obama and John McCain over Iraq. A piece on childhood obesity was followed by some surprising news: doctors are no longer encouraging women do breast self-exams. Williams told the inspiring story of Josh Hamilton, the Texas Rangers outfielder who ditched his drug addiction and dazzled at the Home Run Derby, then wrapped things up with a story about Native Americans trying to restore their land.
NBC Money Quote: "Now we're older, we like going on the computer and stuff—video games, sometimes watch TV every once in a while." –-Weight Loss Camper Michael Giaime
NBC Takeaway: The network really wants you to watch its reality show The Biggest Loser.
CBS Rundown: CBS, too, began with the state of the economy as Katie Couric summarized President Bush's press conference and reporters in the field talked with customers about the failed IndyMac bank. Then it was on to Campaign '08, with an update on the poll numbers and a discussion of the released video of a Guantánamo Bay prisoner. More on mortgages, then a report from Beijing, where the government is cracking down on citizens in the rush to reduce air pollution before the Olympics begin.
CBS Money Quote: "Finally tonight, the Beijing Olympics begin in just over three weeks and the Chinese are trying to 'clear the air.'" ;—Couric
CBS Takeaway: Couric has a knack for puns.
ABC Rundown: Gibson opened his broadcast with—surprise!—the state of the economy and then moderated a round table with financial experts. More on campaign numbers, then a brief overview of international politics, touching on recent suicide bombings in Iraq and the recently surfaced video of a Canadian teen being interrogated at Guantanamo. Next up was a report on the increase of childhood obesity and how families are coming together to deal with the problem. Finally, Sharyn Alfonsi closed with the triumph of Josh Hamilton at the Home Run Derby.
CBS Money Quote: "I just witnessed history and it was an awesome feat. We got a bad economy and everything, but America pulled together today. And did you see at Yankee Stadium, everybody was standing up, honoring—this is, this is our pastime!" –Phone calls from Dwayne Burrow from Snellville, Georgia
CBS Takeaway: Dreams come true at Yankee Stadium. Too bad they're about to knock it down.

I first visited Jerusalem in 1961, when I was 11 years old. Back then it was a mere shadow of what it has become — a half-city reached through a cul-de-sac of Israel surrounded by "enemy" territory. Little more than 50 yards from our room at the King David Hotel, barbed wire and tank traps separated us from the crenellated walls of the Old City.
Now, 33 years later — and 27 years after Jerusalem was physically united — the barbed wire is submerged beneath gracious parks, and dramatic new neighborhoods have been grafted onto hilltops. Over the years I've returned so many times I've lost count. But whenever I visit Jerusalem I discover something new: a building, a cranny, a vista, a mood. It is a city where nothing, absolutely nothing, is ordinary. Here are my choices for experiences that no first-time visitor should miss.
Nothing feels quite as sacred as a walk down the Mount of Olives just after sunrise. To the left of the deserted lane taken by Jesus on the first Palm Sunday lie the terraced graves of Judaism's most hallowed cemetery. Ahead, Islam's gilded Dome of the Rock flashes in the sunlight, and the Old City's Golden Gate, bricked up since the 13th century, waits patiently to be opened by the Messiah. Cocks crow as you pass the onion-domed Russian Orthodox Church of St. Mary Magdalene. Then comes the Church of Dominus Flevit, whose teardrop-shaped roof evokes Jesus's weeping over Jerusalem's impending destruction. Finally, at the foot of the mountain, you encounter the tranquil Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus was arrested. Its gnarled olive trees have lived as long as 1,000 years.
The Sisters of Zion guide visitors through this convent with such passion you'll feel as if each had personally witnessed the first Easter. Many believe that it was on the flagstones of the Lithistratos, the original courtyard of Pontius Pilate's Antonia Fortress (now in the convent's basement), that the centurions taunted Jesus and crowned him with thorns.
After the Romans sacked and burned Jerusalem 1,924 years ago, all that remained of Herod's Temple was its western retaining wall. Over the centuries the cries of anguished Jewish pilgrims inspired observers to dub it the Wailing Wall. Restored to Jewish sovereignty 1,897 years later, it is now known merely as the Western Wall, a tangible symbol for Jews worldwide of their post-Holocaust renaissance.
The lawns, bougainvillea, and old pine trees surrounding the graceful house where artist Anna Ticho lived from 1894 to 1980 — now a museum and restaurant — create an oasis of serenity in downtown Jerusalem.
At noon every Friday the alleys and stalls of the spotless Mahane Yehuda Market evoke bedlam as Jerusalemites race to finish their last-minute shopping in preparation for the Sabbath, commencing at sundown.
The quintessential lunch at the Annavim brothers' eating place near Mahane Yehuda Market is a skewer of exquisite Israeli foie gras barbecued rare and served with a side of french fries. Shipudei Hagefen, 74 Agrippus St. (near Mahane Yehuda open market); 011 972-2/624-4888 fax 011 972-2/624-3030.
Israel's antiquity, sophistication, and artistic richness come together here. In an hour you can view the Dead Sea Scrolls, Roman glass platters, Byzantine mosaics, Persian tiled prayer nooks, a Baroque synagogue from Italy's Veneto, paintings by Rembrandt, Renoir, and Kandinsky, the Louis XV salon of the Paris Rothschilds, Robert Indiana's giant Love sculpture spelled out in Hebrew, canvases by Postmodern Israeli artists, and Spiderman poised to leap from the walls of the children's wing.
This tiny village in the Judean Hills, birthplace of John the Baptist, actually lies within Jerusalem's city limits, just 15 minutes from the heart of town. Its fig trees, galleries, gardens, bistros, churches, artisans' workshops, and masses of morning glories will remind you of Provence.
The original church was built in A.D. 324 over the site of Golgotha, as identified by Queen Helena, mother of the Roman emperor Constantine, who had adopted the Christian religion 12 years earlier. Today's structure, which dates from the Crusader period, is shared by the Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian, Coptic, and Ethiopian churches — each jealously guarding its own turf, entrusting the keys to the adjacent Mosque of Omar to prevent one sect from locking out another. Since the 1880s many Protestants have believed the location erroneous, considering the true site to be the more bucolic Garden Tomb, a half mile to the north. Nonetheless, the faces of the pious as they emerge from the sepulchre's inner sanctum affirm the church's significance.
In 1967, Theo and Miriam Siebenberg began constructing their dream house on a site in the Old City's restored Jewish Quarter. Excavation uncovered the remains of a building from the Second Temple period (circa 30 B.C.-A.D. 70). Its mosaics and decorative glass indicated that it had been a wealthy Jewish family's house burned during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The excavated rooms and their contents are exhibited today in a cavernous museum beneath the Siebenberg residence.
This exquisitely tiled and gilded mosque, built in 691, validates Jerusalem as Islam's third-holiest city. The bare rock it enshrines is central to all three monotheistic faiths: it is not only the site where Abraham prepared to sacrifice Isaac and where the Ark of the Covenant was housed in the Holy of Holies of Solomon's and Herod's temples but also the spot from which Mohammed ascended to heaven.
The houses, alleys, marketplaces, inhabitants, and mindset of this ultra-Orthodox neighborhood are hauntingly evocative of the central European shtetls (Jewish hamlets) that were obliterated by the Nazis.
Thousands of young people throng the cafes, pubs, and crafts markets of pedestrianized central Jerusalem on Rivlin, Shlomzion Hamalka, and Ben Yehuda streets, applauding sidewalk entertainers, munching on pizza, falafel, or burger and browsing, carousing, and promenading.
On a serene Judean hilltop, Israel's Holocaust memorial and museum graphically recalls the horrors which, a mere half century ago, befell the descendants of Jews dispersed from here 2,000 years earlier. Even though Zionism — the movement to restore the Jewish homeland — was already a political movement 50 years before World War II, the Holocaust has inevitably emerged as Israel's unifying leitmotif; it is fundamental to any comprehension of the Israeli psyche.

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 Bonnie!
Facts about Bonnie
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bonnie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
This sweet, gentle and pretty little girl has a timid nature. Bonnie spent most of her first year of life in a pen at the shelter and did not receive much socialization or training. Bonnie needs a home with a patient and experienced person who can teach her to trust and enjoy normal relations with people and with other animals. She is particularly skittish and unfamiliar with normal household noises. Bonnie is a real rescue, needing someone committed to giving her the happy life she has been waiting for, but has seen shadows of its existence.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bonnie, a Summerville Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher for sale in Summerville, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher dog from a breeder in Summerville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Summerville 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 Summerville 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 Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Miniature Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Summerville paves the way for another one to be saved.

This leaf is getting a distinctly yellow undertone. I'm worried about the plant. Otherwise it seems healthy.
Any ideas? |

First let me say I think that is a Alocasia not Colocasia. If this is the oldest leaf that is turning yellow you shouldn't have anything to worry about. As the plant grows it pulls the nutrients back out of the old leaves. |
Yes someone else pointed out that it is an Alocasia. I hope it is just an old leaf dying. I love that plant, it's such a willing and strong grower. |

Quarks: strange, colourful and now, apparently, dancing randomly
The world of quarks is a bizarre one. Seemingly everyday words are employed to provide tangible names for otherwise abstract physical properties. To add to the confusion, recent theoretical research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that random numbers are crucial for describing the oscillation of quarks.
Quarks are one of the most elementary building blocks in the world of particle physics. Protons are made up of three quarks, bound together by the strong nuclear force. However, quarks themselves are virtually massless; the mass of a proton arises from the oscillation of its constituent quarks. In other words, everything around us has mass because of the oscillation of quarks!
Quarks also possess a property called 'spin' that is mathematically analogous to the rotation of an every-day object. This 'spin' can be in a left-handed or a right-handed sense. Theoretically left-handed and right-handed quarks should oscillate independently, but in practice they don't. Left-handed and right-handed quarks oscillate in tandem, pairing off like dancers on a dance-floor, explains Kim Splittorff, co-author of the latest research, published in Physical Review Letters1. Moreover, the new research shows that this pairing off of quarks can be described mathematically by large quantities of random numbers arranged in rectangular matrices.
This research comes just as particle physics' Large Hadron Collider (LHC) starts to produce its first meaningful results. This new theory based on random numbers "is a powerful tool that provides an entirely new understanding of the numerical data" says Splittorff. Clearly, exciting times lie ahead for particle physicists.

Originally someone gave this to me and I thought it would be hideous on me because I hate the colour of this stuff... at least in the bottle. this is NOT the colour that ends up on your nails, it shows up as one of my least favourites colours ever probably. HOWEVER... the colour that shows up on your actual nail is a beautiful slight deep red, which transfers to a lighter red with some magenta/blue undertones in daylight or bright light but indeed looks like an even deeper shade in the shade... that being said, I'm one to put on at least three coats, because that's just what feels natural to me, but again that's what has made this colour one which I apply all the time and never tire of, cuz it kinda feels like two shades in one?
I've had mine for over a year and used it countless times and is only now starting to gloop up. buying another asap . :)
---- don't always trust the photos taken and posted here or anywhere really, go see for yourself and test if you can. like another commenter said, Seduce Me shows up less bright than the picture here. guess it depends how many coats you use?

Best nail polish ever!! The colour, polish formula, brush, packaging.. PERFECTION.
Most flattering colour I have ever had, I always get compliments when I wear this colour, no joke. Every time I wear this polish even random people ask me what colour it is. Also, does not chip easily, which is a big plus! I'm on my second bottle (which is the ONLY time I've ever repurchased a nail polish) because it is just so amazing :)

This color has great formula, wear, opacity, and overall nails it(excuse my pun!!!) although very similar to china glazes Christmas color merry berry, I prefer this one. I put that I would buy this again because I like it a lot but I probably wouldn't because I like to see the endless amount of colors there are out there.

If you are bored of wearing reds and still want to wear something sexy yet classic...look no further. This is a beautiful magenta red color on my nails and compliments my cool skin. Absolutely universal color for every skin color. It is one of those colors you will always come back and reuse. While I can't find any cons, after taking this beauty to home, it took me a few minutes to find out that I have a cheaper dupe (Flormar M109) in my nail polish collection. I still love it so much and did not returned it.

I've been looking for a red nail color that would be flattering for my skin tone for a couple years now, and this one has been my latest attempt. I must say that my search for the right red may just be over!
This bold, glossy, red nail polish is very flattering for my fair, asian skin tone, whereas it was also flattering for my friend's extremely pale Irish skin as well. I think that maybe it is a color that can flatter many skin tones easily.
The red is not as bright as it is in the picture above, but a bit richer and a bit darker with maroon undertones. If you have fair skin, it does kind of look vampy, but it is still usable as everyday wear. One thing I recommend though, is that you do use a top coat for the finish, as the polish will become dull and leave red marks on paper if you don't. Otherwise, lasts long and doesn't chip easily.
Since I have bottles upon bottles of nail polish, and I like occasionally switching up nail colors, I have never really had to replace the same nail color because I have not really finished using up a whole bottle before.
However, I will definitely be buying this again, and would like it to make it my signature nail color. I think I will finish this one.
5/5 would recommend. It is a beautiful color, would buy again.

So, this is a polish that tricked me into buying it. It's a bit lighter, more berry looking, in the bottle than it is on my nails after two coats. I was a bit disappointed because I was looking for a bright berry and I ended up with something a bit more vampy.
But then, I realised just how lovely and flattering this colour is on me. So what if it's a bit darker... it's not an almost black by any means. And it's totally work appropriate because it's a beautiful classic colour but it doesn't really ooze sex. That isn't to say that I don't feel sexy wearing it!
It's actually become one of my go-to polishes, believe it or not, after our rocky start. Maybe that's what they meant when they named it.

This polish is such a beautiful color. It's a sassy, deep, beet colored, magenta-red, and a perfect color year-round. Good formulation, is a bit on the jelly-ish side, and gives good wear. This would look great on just about everyone and I can't think of a skintone this wouldn't suit. Highly recommended!

This shade is great for Autumn and Winter. It's a real berry red with a slight undertone of fuchsia. It only requires 2 coats for full opacity, and if you're wanting a slightly darker shade you can add a 3rd coat. Make sure you add a top coat with this one though, or it will look a little dull. This is fast becoming one of the most frequently used shades in my collection.

I don't really understand why everyone loves this so much. I read the reviews on here (mostly positive) and thought I'd go buy it. It's just "okay" nothing special. It went on streaky on my nails and not very opaque. It doesn't look like the color in the bottle when you actually paint it on your nails..just not a big fan. I usually love China Glaze products and they're one of the best brands, however this doesn't deserve an A+, more like a C..

I needed a narrow width dryer, so my options were a little limited, but overall I really like this dryer. I set most of my loads at medium heat, auto dry Normal setting. Unlike other reviewers, my loads are perfectly dry at this setting. I like the simplicity of the options (kids can easily run), as well as the fact that it remembers the last setting used as its pre-set. It seems quiet to me, as well. The price went down 7 days after I purchased (and before it was delivered) and I called to get the price match. Although it was eventually given to me, it took a little teeth pulling to get it done.

I had this dryer delivered and I installed it myself. Easy to do. First load worked great - clothes were nice and dry with the auto dry feature. Then, I noticed that the dryer wasn't level because the top of the unit sloped downwards from back to front. Took out my level and put it on the top and sure enough it was not level! So I adjusted the feet so that the top was level (front to back). After that adjustment, the clothes would no longer dry. Had to run several cycles to get them dry. I called service and they came out. Turns out that when I "leveled" the dryer I actually put it out of level. NOTE: the top of the unit is supposed to slope down from back to front! Because I had inadvertently tipped the dryer back, the moisture sensor (which is located at the front of the unit by the lint filter) was not sensing the moisture content properly and hence the clothes were not drying. The technician leveled the unit properly (use the seam on the side of the cabinet to achieve proper level - not the top of the unit) the dryer has been working great! Also note that you can change the sensitivity of the moisture sensor to prolong the drying cycle. The unit comes set at the default level but you can increase the drying time to "Normal" by 15% (2nd setting) or 30% (3rd setting). I have mine set at the 2nd setting and ts great. Read the manual on how to set this feature.

Bought this dryer little over 3 months ago and the door handle is falling apart. This dryer seemed to be the latest version of my last dryer which was 13 years old. It doesn't hold a candle. The old dryer was less noisy and dried clothing much faster. The door was sturdier and didn't have some plastic part to use to close it. I am definitely not happy with this purchase.

Agree with the other reviewer, this dryer doesn't dry well at all. I usually have to run the dryer on the hottest setting for almost 2 full cycles. Going to see about returning or exchanging this dryer.

This is the worst dryer that I've owned. It takes forever to dry the clothes. In the sensor mode, the clothes remain very damp. I'm returning it.

This dryer has all the features I wanted including the ability to dry athletic shoes and other fragile items on a stationary rack. One advertised feature that hasn't particularly been exceptional is the "quiet" feature. I feel that it is just as loud as any other dryer I've ever owned. It's not objectionable...just not "quiet." Be sure to shorten the hose to the dryer vent with no more than one bend as much as possible or the dryer will take too long on the auto dry setting. After we shortened the hose, it dried at about the same rate as my previous dryer. All in all, this appears to be a very good dryer. I've run about six loads through it at this time.

Tomorrow, UPA lead government will deliver its first financial budget after recent eelctions. People of India have lots of expectations from this budget because they have shown their faith in Congress lead UPA by giving it huge success in Loksabha Election held earlier this year. Tomorrow, it will be turn of UPA government to give back something to people so that they can cheer about their decision.
Presently, India is going through economical slowdown and around 6 Lakh people have lost their jobs in last few months. Petrol prices have again started increasing due to increase in international oil prices, therefore, making common items of daily use dearer. Tomorrow's budget is expected to shaver some relief to common people by increasing tax exemption limit from 1 Lakh rupees to 1.5 Lakh rupees.
People also hope that government will reduce numbers of other direct and indirect taxes to make loans and services cheaper. Sectors like real state are already going through poor phase due to poor demand in market. It is important for government to put forward a good budget in these difficult times which can push some energy in ailing economy. Yesterday, it will become clear that what government has stored for us.

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 Hermione!
Facts about Hermione
- Breed: Anatolian Shepherd/Husky Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Hermione's Info...
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
April 26/13 9 week old pup WE actually have no idea what mix these pups are.
Hermione seems to be taking on the temperament of her namesake of the Harry Potter Series. She is a confident little puppy that is full of fun and mischief, but can also be a bit shy at times. Hermione gets along well with other dogs and good with cats. Hermione loves to go for walks and is especially good on leash for a puppy her age. She will trot along beside you, sometimes taking the leash in her mouth, but for now just wants to help hold onto it. She has not yet started with the "tug of war" game that most pups like to play. She is a friendly and outgoing when meeting and greeting people along the way! Hermione is going to need someone who is home most of the time so she can learn properly how to be on her own. She does not like to be separated from her human family and will cry, bark and howl when left, even with her sister to keep her company. Although she has not yet learned how to climb like her sister, she will try to wiggle her way through any opening she can find to aid in her escape plan! .Stuffed kongs, chew toys and soft things to cuddle up with will help to distract her from engaging in inappropriate behaviour due to separation anxiety! Hermione's favourite activity though is to snuggle on your lap and she will happily snooze away the time as long as she has the company of her "human"! With the right guidance Hermione is going to grow up to be an awesome companion!
If you are interested in adopting Hermione, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com for an application
Other Pets at West Coast Rottweiler Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hermione, a Surrey Anatolian Shepherd/Husky puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Anatolian Shepherd/Husky for sale in Surrey, or seeking a Anatolian Shepherd/Husky puppy from a breeder in Surrey.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Surrey 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 Surrey 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 Anatolian Shepherd/Husky breeders who help with Anatolian Shepherd/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Surrey paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have 2 pots of double flowering impatiens on my north facing front porch... they only get a little sun in the afternoon. I have a self watering container and fill it up and then let it go 2-3 days before watering again. I've read from previous posts that the yellow leaves are from overwatering, could this be the reason for the yellowing of my leaves? When I checked my plant today (after almost 4 days- was on vacation) it was dry and I usually try to keep it somewhat moist, since I've heard they like to stay moist. Am I doing something wrong? And is there anything to do to keep the plants from losing those leaves and new buds? |

Some people put perlite in the base of the pot and then the soil on top of that. The soil might be pulling up to much water. Impatiens like to be moist but not sopping wet, at least not these. Then again old leaves to yellow and fall off. And double flower are notorious for fall off before they bloom. |
my impatiens have yellow leaves and black spots. Can anyone tell me what causes this and how to prevent it? |

Purchasing for Energy Efficiency
Effective energy management can significantly reduce annual electricity costs and is an integral part of an EPP program. When you think about energy issues, also think about pollution. According to EPA, more than 85% of the energy consumed in the United States is produced from the combustion of fossil fuels.
EnergyStar is a voluntary partnership between EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy. The program promotes energy efficient products through labeling and consumer education. Products that carry the EnergyStar label use less energy and reduce both energy costs and environmental impacts.
Energy efficiency can be attained through the use of effective lighting techniques and fluorescent lights, building improvements such as retrofits and upgrades, and implementation of monitoring equipment.

I was given two plants of this new 'black' fuchsia' in early summer. I am disappointed with them, the flowers are very similar to Dorothy Hanley but the plant growth is much less vigourous. Has anyone else grown this fuchsia? I would interested to know what results you got and if there are any special tips for growing them? |

Hi Ron Sorry but I can't help you with your question only pass on a simple observation; With 'Roesse Blacky' having the parentage of ('Gruss aus dem Bodethal x Rohess Alrami') x 'Stad Elberg' it should have inherited some of it's parents prolific flowering qualities. Gruss aus dem Bodethal is synonymous with Black Prince (Banks 1861)- so one of its parents has been around a while and stood the test of time. A similar colour fuchsia was introduced by Thornley in 1972 called 'Ravensbarrow', however this was a single flowered cultivar. Not being a variety that seemed destined for the show bench I have seen very little of this cultivar, although I have seen it advertised almost everywhere, perhaps that should tell us something? I will ask a fuchsia nursery owner friend of mine to see if he can throw any light on the matter. Tight |
Hi Ron, I grew a couple R.B's in hanging baskets, and was not overly impressed by the vigour of the plant, but this being the first year, I was hoping for better results next year. My growing conditions may not have been ideal as they had to make do with full sun all summer, although I did water daily when needed. I gave a neighbour a cutting early on and his plant seemed to do better than mine. He is a 'Miracle-Gro' person, so this may account for it. |

For what it's worth, I can see very little difference between Roesse Blacky and Rohees New Millenium - Kath:) |
I was very disappointed with the colour as there is nothing new about it just a dark purple. In Thompson & Morgan's brochure it looks nearly black, so thumbs down I'am afraid |

DairyWay™ Lactation/Transition
Conventional wisdom holds that the lactation cycle begins with freshening. But at Nutrena, our research has led us to a different conclusion. What we've discovered is that the way you manage your dry cows during the dry period can have a direct and dramatic impact on their subsequent productivity.
The lactation cycle of the cow can be divided into 4 distinct phases. The far-off phase extends from dry-off to approximately 21 days prior to calving.The close-up phase comprises three weeks immediately prior to calving. The fresh cow phase begins at calving and continues for 21 days, when the cow rejoins the milking herd for the lactation phase. The transition from dry to lactation is one of the most stressful times in the cow's life and proper nutrition is critical to get the cow through as uneventfully as possible.
DairyWay™ Lactation / Transition feeds have been designed with these phases in mind. High quality nutrition in each phase is essential for setting and maintaining high production levels.
Please see the tag on the bag for important feeding information.

I was given these plants and told that they were wild geranium or woodland geranium. I suspect that they are not geraniums. Can anyone help me to ID them?

You suspect right - it's not a hardy geranium :-)) Looks a bit like some sort of waterleaf to me, perhaps Hydrophyllum appendiculatum. |
Thank you very much, Ive been trying to figure this one out for years. You are absolutely right, it is a waterleaf. Canadian waterleaf (Hydrophyllum canadense L.) Your clue led me to this http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/wildplant/goldenseallookalike_waterleaf.aspx |

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 Austin!
Facts about Austin
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Austin's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Austin is a cute wiggle butt who loves to play and give out kisses! He loves fun and adventure but mostly loves to be with his people. Belly scratch, go for a walk or watch a movie together, count him in! Austin is about 2-3 yrs old and great with other dogs, kids over 6 yrs and loves everyone he meets. Weighing in at about 40lbs he is a bit larger than an average cocker. Austin is in need of a foster home while he is looking for his forever home. Can you help?
Other Pets at Second Chance Cocker Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Austin, a Santa Barbara Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) for sale in Santa Barbara, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Santa Barbara.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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 Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel/Retriever (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Santa Barbara paves the way for another one to be saved.

Foot orthotics can provide ongoing relief from foot stress caused by injury, deformity, or fatigue. As with any health investment, however, it is important to take proper care to ensure that you are getting the greatest benefit and value from your purchase. One of the Top Orthotics Windsor Clinic makes sure your orthotics address all your feet and gait irregularities and will take the time to explain how the orthotics work and what results you can expect. When you are ready to look into getting custom made orthotics Contact Windsor's Orthotics Clinic Foot Care Institute.
If you are considering custom orthotics, there are a few things you should consider first.
You don't need to be suffering from foot pain to benefit from orthotics
Most patients don't think about purchasing orthotics until they begin to experience foot pain or other unfavourable symptoms. Others have inconsistent symptoms, or discomfort that seems to go away with time. This doesn't mean that orthotics are not necessary. Custom foot appliances offer valuable preventative care as well as treatment.
While foot care professionals most often prescribe orthotics to treat existing ailments, they also recommend orthotics to prevent the development of foot problems in the first place. This is particularly applicable to diabetics, athletes, overweight people, those that stand for long periods of time at work, and other portions of the population that place extra strain on their feet.
It is also a common misconception that foot pain or deformity is the only symptom of foot problems. Signs of improper foot alignment can take many forms that do not include foot pain. The following are just a few indications that you may benefit from the use of orthotics:
- joint inflammation
- back, neck, or hip pain
- hammer toes
- bunions
- spinal disfigurement
- poor balance
It's best to seek the advice of a qualified professional
Though orthotics and shoe inserts are widely available at pharmacies and other retail stores, it is best to consult a qualified foot care professional before purchasing orthotics. The Pedorthic Association of Canada warns against mass-produced, over-the-counter devices because they do not fit all foot types and thus are unsuitable for the treatment of most foot or biomechanical problems.
Paying a visit to a certified foot care specialist, such as a Podiatrist or Chiropodist is the best way to assess your condition and evaluate your treatment options and goals. A foot care practitioner will perform a full lower-limb examination and gait analysis to detect abnormalities before molding an orthotic that is custom-made for your foot. Your doctor will also ensure that your custom orthotics fit properly, and he or she will discuss proper usage and care for your device.
An orthotic is only as good as the shoe it goes into
Improper footwear that causes added stress or biomechanical manipulation to the foot is a common underlying cause for foot issues. For this reason, it is essential to have comfortable and supportive shoes to wear with your orthotics. Again, your foot care professional can recommend a shoe that will not counteract the features of your orthotic.
When first prescribed, custom foot orthotics should be worn as often as possible. Patients who wear numerous different pairs or kinds of shoes should consider having multiple pairs of orthotics designed to ensure proper fit and consistent wear. Orthotics are made to support your feet, correct your gait and alleviate pain or discomfort, this is best achieved by wearing them as often as possible.

As a special birthday treat, Savannah's friends have arranged for her to compete for Lance's affections on a reality TV show called Man of My Dreams. She and four other women will be living in a medieval "castle" with Lance, trying to win his heart. Unfortunately, the antics take a sinister turn when one of the show's producers, Tess Jarvis, turns up dead. It appears she was felled by a carton of Killer Fudge ice cream, but Savannah's convinced there's more to the story.
Turns out she's right. It seems no one liked Tess...not her unhappy husband, or the scheming contestants, or all the disgruntled employees she so heinously wronged. This show is quickly turning into the worst kind of soap opera - with some footage that'll never make it on the air....

"The Bag" read by Eric Gillin Click the link above to hear the story. | |
Thomas Cahill squirms in his swivel chair. He's wearing a green-and-red wool sweater covered with pills, eyeing the white garbage bag on the battered metal desk. FedEx delivered the bag last week. Cahill is impatient as the photographer documents everything: the bag, the dust-collection machine, Cahill himself. Staring at the bag with a glint, the broad, six-foot former high school tackle looks like a kid who can't wait for his parents to stop snapping pictures of him near the tree on Christmas morning.
For Cahill--for a lot of people, actually, although they don't know it yet--this bag holds a lot of answers. It has been sealed shut for more than five years, and you should have heard the excitement in Cahill's voice when he found out it existed.
Man, five years. That long?
"Are we ready yet?"
He is sixty-nine years old. In the four decades he has taught physics and conducted air-quality research here at the University of California at Davis, Cahill has seen a lot. Five years ago, he stood near the burning, pissing rubble at ground zero for weeks, taking samples, testing, telling people the air wasn't as safe as the government said it was. To the Environmental Protection Agency, and even to the president, he became a pest, a role of which he is proud.
Today, though, today is different. "This is so exciting," he says to me, actually rubbing his hands together. "We have no other samples from September 11 except your backpack. It will give us a snapshot of what people were actually breathing, which will help the doctors enormously in knowing what to treat." He told me this over the phone, before I arrived from New York to witness the opening. Now, even with me standing there, one of the people who breathed in whatever he's about to discover, he repeats it. Exuberantly. "I'm sorry for you," he says, and he means it. "But I'm also delighted!"
My black messenger bag, which is inside the white plastic blob on the metal table, is Cahill's holy grail. When Esquire called, told him I had kept it in my closet for the last five years, and asked him to test it for toxins, Cahill was stunned. Thousands of tons of debris blew through downtown Manhattan as each of the World Trade Center towers collapsed on 9/11, but no one--not the city, not a lab at nearby NYU, not the EPA--seems to have any primary evidence from inside the plume itself. A heavy rainstorm on September 14 rinsed much of the floating debris from the air, and the city was already hastily sweeping the streets and scrubbing the buildings in a mad scramble for normalcy. Scientists hadn't even arrived on the scene. (Before the bag, the closest Cahill had ever come to finding a primary source was an air filter on an office desk, but the debris had fused to the filter and was too difficult to measure.) What the rains didn't clear was quickly contaminated by the stinky diesel trucks rolling in and out of ground zero and the chemical fire raging a few stories below the street. By the time the EPA began telling people the downtown air was safe, three days after September 11, any chance of isolating exactly what happened in the initial moments of the disaster--what was in the clouds that engulfed more than five thousand people, including me, in a matter of seconds--was presumed lost.
Why did I preserve my bag that day? I can't say. I had just seen a building that took six years and eight months to build aerate in twelve seconds. I wasn't really thinking, just doing. I had walked the twenty blocks to my apartment among the cavalcade of refugees heading uptown, all of us looking like pale, disentombed corpses spreading out among the living. Once home, I stripped, then showered, but my skin still itched, as if someone had switched my cotton towels with pink fiberglass insulation. I threw my khakis and sneakers away--no way the lady at the wash-and-fold was going to touch those. But not my Manhattan Portage messenger bag. Even though it was trashed, I stuffed it into a clean Hefty bag and stuck it on the top shelf of my closet. For a long time after, I joked about putting it in a Lucite box to make a coffee table. Why did I really keep it? I don't know. Maybe because I had just bought it. Cost me eighty dollars.
Cahill, a physics Ph.D. from UCLA, studies air quality out of a converted machine shop on the Davis campus, where in 1997 he founded the DELTA Group, a consortium of scientists who collaborate on atmospheric and climate-based research. His desk is loaded high with reports like "Characterization and Source Apportionment of Long Range Transport of Atmospheric Aerosols over Northeast Asia." Once, he took his wife, Ginny, and their kids on an impromptu family vacation to Mount St. Helens because it looked as if it was ready to pop. (Today Ginny is the deputy district attorney for water issues in California; both children perform environmental research at universities.) Most weekends, Cahill is in the field. It's not impossible that you have sped by as he and a few windblown students huddled on the side of a California freeway using the DELTA Group Slotted 8 DRUM Impactor, an instrument Cahill developed and built to test air particles.
With this device, he has produced some of the most respected studies on the air quality after September 11, including an explosive 2003 report that concluded the smoldering debris pile acted like a chemical "incinerator." With this finding, Cahill confuted the EPA's early dismissal of the plume as an "irritant" and its ultimate conclusion about the air in lower Manhattan: "It is not a problem for the general population."
"Someone told me my report ended up on Bush's desk," says Cahill. "Supposedly, he had a cow."
The DRUM sampler looks like something you'd keep in the trunk of your car to inflate your tires: a generic black case with a hose snaking out one side. Cahill will use the vacuum nozzle to suck the debris off my bag, and the machine will gently blow the dust past a series of eight drums, each coated with a thin strip of grease-covered Mylar. Each drum collects a different-sized particle, ranging from 15 micrometers, or microns (about one-seventh the diameter of a human hair), to 0.09 microns (the size of a virus). The strips will tell Cahill how many particles we have at each size.
How this is relevant to my long-term well-being: "Particles above fifteen microns, you just swallow them," says Cahill, who has worked with medical doctors to study the effects of airborne particles on humans. "From fifteen to about five, they go into your nose and your sinuses and you cough them up or spit them out. When you go below three microns, you start to have some lung-collection possibility--the particles end up in your bronchial tubes and upper lung. When they go down to half a micrometer, they go into your deep lung. And once they're in the deep lung, they're very hard to get rid of."
The tiniest particles can permanently pollute the human respiratory system. A September 2006 report by doctors at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York revealed that nearly half of the people who worked at ground zero say they have a dry cough, shortness of breath, or tightness in their chest--all possible indications of a lower lung that has been . . . compromised.
So, Christ, if you figure most of those people didn't arrive until well after the actual event, what are the little particles that are in me?

It's a bit like saying, "We don't need food -- we can just eat pizza!"
This is a confusion the right wing revels in. It's why during the health care debate there were protest signs demanding the government stay out of Medicare. "We're here, we're misinformed -- get used to it!"
"Sometimes, even presidents need reminding, that our rights come from nature and God, not from government," says GOP VP nominee Paul Ryan on the stump.
It's a hefty statement that has yet to get a follow up question. Which rights do we get from God, exactly? The right to choose another religion? Isn't Free Speech an affront to a couple Commandments? Has anyone ever checked out a theocracy like Saudi Arabia and thought, "Look at all those civil rights!"?
Ryan is bastardizing the battle cry to establish self-governance against the divine right of kings. Prior to the French and American Revolutions, in the Dark Ages, kings were assumed to be kings because it was thought god wanted them to be kings -- therefore everything they did was god-like. So thinkers -- and this country was founded by thinkers -- came up with a way to separate the powers of god and rulers -- self-governance: Three branches of self-government; a bill of rights; checks and balances.
Is the right wing denouncing self-governance? Well, yeah, pretty much. If rights, according to Mr. Ryan, come from whichever purely subjective interpretation of God is en vogue this week and not from the body of democratically elected leaders adhering to a constitutional guide, it's a position the Tories or the crown loyalists would have supported.
And the alternative to self-governance? The alleged free market? Privatized tyranny is still tyranny to its subjects.
Personally, Time Warner is not my idea of freedom.
Which leads me to the question: Since corporations are people according the Romney/Ryan ticket, does God give them rights? We're talking about the divine right of Exxon-Mobile here: this is important.
"There are 47 percent who are with him [Obama]," said Romney on a recently verified tape made last May. "Who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims."
There's something very telling about a dude sneering at those dependent on the government while being under Secret Service protection.
What of this remaining 53 percent Romney is trying to woo? Who's independent of the government? Walmart depends on the government to feed their workforce via food stamps. Nearly all other businesses depend on the government for law and order so they can conduct business. Wealthy people have property. Government protects property rights. Banks got bailed out -- by the government. Roads are maintained by the government. Air travel, regulated by the government. Also our elderly, disabled and yes our poor, assisted by the government.
If you're voting for a president, you're voting for a government worker. Your vote means you have some confidence in government as to its legitimacy and efficiency. If you're donating to a presidential candidate (or some sympathetic super PAC) you're putting your faith in Government.
Which means, in short, you are depending on government.
We are all the 47 percent.

RE: Fix those granite chips! (Follow-Up #13)
posted by: RyeMarble on 12.16.2010 at 08:22 pm in Kitchens Forum As owner of a granite shop I can assure you that almost any crack or chip can be fixed by a capable fabricator. However for very small surface chips, Cat Moms techniques is not all that different then a professionals.
To fix a small chip in your granite countertop yourself follow these steps. Purchase medium viscosity CA glue (super glue) from a local hobby store. Should only cost about $4 - $5. Make sure the chip is clean and dry. Clean with acetone or nail polish remover. Depending on the stone you may want to darken the affected area with a marker (as cat mom did) or a crayon. For lighter stones, or stones with a lot of quartz this step is usually not needed. Apply just enough CA glue to completely encapsulate the chip, (you don't want to apply way too much or the next step will take a while) and wait for the glue to completely cure, (CA accelerators are sold which cure the glue immediately for less than $10 but be careful on light colored stones as they can create what we in the industry call a 'bloom' which is an ugly green stain which is very hard to remove. Take a single edge razor blade and hold it perpendicular to the stone, and with a quick back and forth motion 'shave' the glue off a little at a time until you remove all the excess glue. This process will only take a couple of minutes, and will result in a filled chip undetectable to the human hand. If desired the completed are can be polished up a little with extra fine steel wool or toothpaste. Hope you found this information useful.

Celticmoon, I saw your threads earlier about gel stain on your cabinets, and may I say I was awed and inspired! I rushed right out to get gel stain to refinish these yellow birch cabinets I have. My first attempt was extremely blotchy. I thought maybe this was because there is very little finish on these cabs, so I put a quick coat of spray poly on and tried again. This version is much better but still not smooth enough. I wondered if you'd take a look and give me some advice? Here is my photo: Thanks, Anita NOTES: <none>

Rusty Allen of Tabor College Voted KCAC Athletic Director of the Year
August 05, 2014
Categories: General News
Wichita, Kan. – Rusty Allen of Tabor College has been named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) Athletic Director of the Year for 2013-14. He will be formally recognized at the upcoming KCAC Sport Management Conference held at Sterling College on August 5. This is Allen's second Athletic Director of the Year award in his tenure at Tabor, the first coming in 2011-12.
The annual Athletic Director of the Year Award is determined by a peer vote among the members of the KCAC Governing Council. By virtue of receiving this award at the conference level, Allen will also be considered as a candidate for the National Athletic Director of the Year by the NAIA Athletic Directors Association.
Allen serves Tabor as the Vice-President of Enrollment Management & Intercollegiate Athletics. He has presided over athletics since 2008, adding Enrollment Management to his title in 2011. Allen oversees an athletics department that supports over 400 student-athletes in 19 sports with staff that exceeds 40 people.
"His leadership and guidance are the strength behind the recent growth and success of Tabor's athletic programs," stated Dr. Jules Glanzer, Tabor College President. "Rusty is dedicated to helping his teams and coaches succeed. He has a passion for being the best, giving attention to details, and working with people to reach their full potential."
Over the last six years he has worked in virtually every aspect to build a new football stadium / track & field complex and overhaul the college's baseball field and gymnasium. Recently, Allen has helped developed partnerships with the City of Hillsboro and Marion Public Schools to better facilitate Tabor's newest sports of bowling and swimming.
Since 2009, Allen has served as a member of the Executive Committee for the KCAC Governing Council in the roles of Vice-Chair (2009 – 2011), Chair (2011 – 2013), and Past Chair (2013 – Present). Allen was also an integral member of the KCAC Membership Expansion Site Evaluation Teams.
"His service to the KCAC has been selfless throughout as well as thoughtful, forward-thinking, and providing a level of stability to the conference among his peers," said Dr. Scott Crawford, KCAC Commissioner."
In 2013-14, Tabor athletic teams combined for more than 25 community service projects, helping the Women's Basketball program to be selected as the first ever KCAC Team of Character. Fourteen Bluejay teams earned NAIA Scholar-Team status. Fifty-four student-athletes were named Daktronics-NAIA scholars and six earned spots on All-America teams.
This past year, Baseball and Volleyball were crowned regular season champions. Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, and Baseball took the conference tournament titles, advancing to NAIA national championships. Tabor was chosen as one of nine opening round sites for NAIA Baseball Opening round. The Bluejays advanced from the Opening Round to the NAIA World Series for the first time in school history, finishing fifth in the country. Tabor football advanced to the final eight teams following a road playoff victory over Benedictine. Eight track and field athletes qualified for both NAIA Outdoor & Indoor nationals in 2014, while three runners qualified for NAIA Cross Country nationals.
"Rusty's successes extend well beyond the athletic fields and into the classroom and residence life where he earned the respect of his faculty, coaches, and student-athletes alike," commented Kent Allshouse, Athletic Director for Bethel College.
Prior to being named Vice-President of Athletics, Allen spent seven years as the head women's basketball coach at Tabor College, stepping down after three straight seasons advancing to the of the NAIA D-II Women's National Basketball Championship "Sweet Sixteen". His accomplishments as the Women's Basketball Coach for the Bluejays also include two KCAC championships (04-05, 05-06) and two KCAC Coach of the Year awards (04-05, 05-06). Outside athletics, Allen has served in many roles at Tabor College including Residence Life & Housing Director, Director of Admissions, and Dean of Enrollment.
Allen graduated from McPherson College in 1985 with a degree in Secondary Mathematics Education and earned a Master's degree in Secondary Mathematics Education from the Peru State University in 1995. Allen resides in Hillsboro with his wife, Debbie. They have three children: Jordan, Jesse, and Whitney.

why pH balance is important
The pH of your tissues and body fluids affects the state of your health or inner cleanliness or filth.The closer the pH is to 7.35 – 7.45, the higher you're level of health and well being and your ability to resist states of disease and the onset of symptomologies.
The pH scale is like a thermometer showing increases and decreases in the acid and alkaline content of these fluids. Deviations above or below a 7.35 -7.45 pH range in the blood can signal potentially serious and dangerous symptoms or states of disease. When the body can no longer effectively neutralize and eliminate the acids it relocates them within the body's extra-cellular fluids and connective tissue cells directly compromising cellular integrity.

IDAHO FALLS — A second medical helicopter stationed in eastern Idaho is available to respond to medical emergencies in Yellowstone National Park.
The Bell 407 GX helicopter at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls started operating May 1. It joins another medical helicopter already at the facility.
"It's all about the patients and getting help to them," said Andrew Garrity, medical director for Air Idaho Rescue. "If they are in Yellowstone, they may be in a place where they only have a park ranger available. It gets help to the patient and gets the patient where they need to be quickly."
The $4 million helicopter is operated Air Methods Corp., an emergency medical services company that has a fleet of more than 400 medical transport helicopters around the nation. The company owns and operates Air Idaho Rescue.
The helicopter serving Yellowstone National Park has a range of 300 miles and is staffed with a pilot, nurse and paramedic. It will operate seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. It's scheduled to operate to the end of September, when the tourist season starts winding down.
"From all indications, it's a significant need," said Lynette Sharp, regional clinical manager for Air Methods. "There continues to be a growing population that visits our first national park. We just found that the time patients were having to wait was too long."
One of the most frequent medical emergencies are heart problems for tourists at the park, which has drawn more than 3 million visitors each of the last seven years.
"Weaknesses in their hearts manifest when they get into higher elevation," Garrity said.
But trauma-related injuries such as car accidents are also common. Some trauma is the result of run-ins with wildlife in the park.
"Most of the trauma that we see, the injuries were preventable," said Doug Kinney, a flight nurse for Air Methods. "A lot of our injuries would be prevented if people would just buckle up. Every year we also see a fair number of calls from an encounter with (bison) and bear. People just get too close to the animals."
An ambulance carrying a patient from the park in summer traffic can take two hours to reach the hospital in Idaho Falls. Officials say a helicopter takes about 40 minutes.
"There is this thing called the 'golden hour,'" Kinney said. "From the onset of the injury to where you should be in the ER is an hour. After that hour, your risk increases. Being closer allows us to close the gap on that golden hour."

We installed a couple of new windows this summer and we're planning to replace the rest of the windows in the house. Now that the weather has cooled, I was surprised how cold the window glass gets on the interior. Anyone know if the following temperature measurements seem reasonable for a double pane, argon filled, low-e coated window?
* Exterior temperature approx. 55 degrees
I realize that double pane windows will get pretty cool in the depth of winter (as I understand it, the interior glass in a window like ours will get down to about 55 degrees when the exterior temperature is 0 degrees). I was surprised they got so cool already, and that the interior glass temperature is so similar to a single pane window. Just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with the windows before we complete our investment. Thanks for the help. Jim |

Copied from Oberon... The interior surface temperature of a single lite of glass, when the temperature outside is 0 degrees F and the inside air temperature is 70 degrees, will be about 16 degrees. But these are center-of-glass readings and not the temperature readings at the edge of the window where condensation usually forms. A typical clear glass dual pane window is going to have center-of-glass temperature reading pretty much the same as a single pane with a storm. However, if that dual pane has a LowE coating and an argon gas infill then the center-of-glass temperature will be about 57 degrees ďż˝ a 14 degree improvement over a clear glass dual pane or a single pane with storm window ďż˝ but again, and more importantly, there will be a comparable edge of glass improvement as well, particularly if the IGU (Insulating Glass Unit) was manufactured using a warm edge spacer system........ The numbers above are laboratory numbers and are verified by repeatable conditions. There are some variables at play in your situation that are slightly skewing the data. You can see that the realistic temperature differential should be between single pane, single pane/storm combo, and double pane insulated. |
Thanks, this is very helpful. It seems that all of the test data is based on 0 degrees exterior temperature. Do you know (or anyone else know) what the data looks like as the outside temperature changes? Is the relationship linear (so the differential between single, single w storm, double, and double with low-e remain constant)? Is it curved? I'd love to know so I can evaluate our experience given the current weather conditions. In our current weather, the dual pane, low-e window is only 6 degrees better than single pane... By the way, the spec's on our new windows are: * double pane |
