Since we have the possibility of strong storms tomorrow, I decided I had better do pictures today, for the wind is very strong already. This morning, I had to help my husband stake some plants. A few of the rose bushes had suffered broken canes before we could get to them. that's how bad it's been.
Avedon This is a group shot of our rambler which we call the "Jean" rose--it came from my sister's 1885 Victorian house. Closeup--love this rose The Jean rambler rose on the fence. It's so large, I can't get it all in the pictures. Coral double poppy--this one had to be staked--it's about 3 1/2 feet tall. Red Double Poppy--another one to be staked--4 feet tall. These poppies were not planted here. They just "popped" up and we left them. Obviously, they were very happy in that spot. These petunias came up volunteer. My husband had to hoe most of them out, they were so thick, and would have over run everything. A beautiful double mock orange named "Snow Goose." This fragrance is gorgeous. Another view of "Snow Goose". The bush doesn't look so great this year, might need to move it. The LA hybrid lilies are starting to bloom. This one is Camelot. Love the color. This little clump of "Camelot" really bloomed close to the ground--don't know why. They are usually taller. Cluster pic of rose "Blush Noisette". This is the oldest rose we grow. It is dated 1817. Just think--this is a real living antique. Had to do another of Belinda's Dream. This is just about peak bloom, and it is fabulous to see. Our spiderwort that came up volunteer in just the right spot. It is so cute. Pictures must be made in the morning, for it will close when the sun hits it. Cluster of polyantha Perle D'Or. Love this rose, so pretty. We keep ours pruned down, but the info I have says it could grow to 8 feet high and 8 feet across--impressive. Perhaps we should let our's grow and see if this is true. Last one--one of the Maggie roses nearly at peak bloom. We have 4 of these.

Everything is so pretty! Jean is unbelieveable, are you sure it is a rose :) I don't think I've ever seen one that big, although I remember having a Peace climber once that probably would have been if I hadn't planted it in the wrong spot. I just tossed out some poppy seeds this morning, kept forgetting about them. They were doubles too. Such beautiful roses. |

I love those poppies. Red is a great color for them! And your roses are marvelous. Sorry about the strong winds, hope it doesn't get too bad there. |

Belinda's Dream certainly grows well for you--so floriferous, such flawless bloom. I have researched it and found that it does not do so well further north. |

Ah Avalon, love them all. I really feel for you. the same thing happened here with the April storms last year. It almost two of my big bushes out of the ground and they still require support that wasn't necessary before. Those poppies are fabulous! I adore the bight red colors. I told DH earlier today that our little Blush Noisette was covered with buds and blooms. I got it because it was such an old bush, but mine is only a year old. My Maggie went into the ground last fall. It is blooming well for a baby, but I look forward to it being more like yours and Jeans. The rambler is gorgeous, ad Belinds's Dream is one. I hop you escape major damage with the storms. |

Hi again! Your roses are so nice! I have several to plant. I have to make a new garden to put them in. Unfortunately I always work backwards buy plants first then scramble for a place to put them. That dang impulse buying gets me every time lol. Yeah on the note of bad weather again, hurricane season is around the corner :( 6 months of relief 6 months of stress. Thank you for the beautiful photos! Rena' |

Avedon, I so enjoyed all of your beautiful flowers. But perhaps the most poignant was the picture of the spiderwort. It grew wild freely on the Ouachita River levee whereI lived in Monroe, Louisiana, directly across from the river and is a special plant to me. Christine |
Love the pics. Hope the storms don't do any damage and you and your family are safe. Julia |
Stunning roses they are all gorgeous I especially like Belinda's Dream. Stay safe. Linda |

Just a question for you folks:
Can a typical miniature rose (be it from a grocery store, nursery, or a placed that specializes in them) survive all year outside in a flower pot (Zone 7 climate, Maryland)? I live in an apartment and thus don't have any ground to use for rose planting. I know that they are basically "just like roses" once they adapt to the outdoors, but do they make good pot plants for a balcony or patio? Thanks! |

Hi Where in zone 7 and how close to the coast are you? I live in the upper cusp of zone 8 and my minis live outside all year long. If you keep them in at lest a 15" or 16" pots that should allow enough protection. The only thing you may need to do is cover them with a sheet to protect them from the bitting cold wind. The real trick is finding roses that are known to be hardy in zone 7. And there are many to choose from. How much sun does your outdoor space receive? Liz |
I'm south of Baltimore, but not right next to the coast. My balcony receives full sun since it is a south-facing exposure - I already have coneflowers, yarrow, salvia, and a daylily out there that have survived for years in pots outside. |
- Posted by rosesnpots z8 Tidewater area VA (My Page) on Sun, Jul 12, 09 at 16:32
Where you live you should not have any problems growing a roses on your balcony. You may also want to look at the smaller shrub roses along with the minis especially if you would like roses with fragrance. Just remember, some minis will get quite large (over 4'). So you should look a roses that stay about 2' to 3' tall. A good place to start is on HelpMeFind roses. Nor'east has stopped selling retail but there are other nice nurseries that specialize in minis. Two that come to mind are Two Sisters and Almost Heaven. I have 3 from Almost Heaven and all are doing great. I have not ordered from Two Sisters, but they have a great reputation. If you want to look at small shrub roses, I would recommend Ashdown Roses and Roses Unlimited. I have ordered from both and have been very pleased. There are many others of course, but all of these are on the east coast so shipping cost will not be as high. Liz |
Thanks for the info, Liz! How disease resistant are the mini roses? Blackspot is a big concern in the eastern parts of the US, so plants that can hold their own against it would be best. Also, are most minis grafted or are they grown on their own roots? |
- Posted by rosesnpots z8 Tidewater area VA (My Page) on Mon, Jul 13, 09 at 9:26
All minis are own root which in my opinion, makes for a stronger fuller plant as an ownroot rose will give you basel breaks and hence a fuller plant. Black Spot (BS) is something we here in BS heaven have to live with but some roses do better than others. You will also find young roses may be more prone to BS and then as they get older the BS will not affect them as much. Right now in my garden, my minis are a year old or younger. And only Earthquake and Scentimental has shown BS but spraying with Bayer disease control once a week has stopped it. I would contact the nurseries and ask as they are all in BS heaven and will know which one fair the best. That is one reason I recommend those particular nurseries as they have the same type climate as we do vice a nurseries in CA. Good Luck and enjoy the roses. |

Gundam is known as a pretty boyish series of Japanese anime. The Gundam toys are tough-looking gun-wielding robots outfitted in dark armor. Not exactly frilly and feminine, like the Gundam toy seen here.
The pink Gundam is a definite change from the original toy figures, as it's painted pink with glitter and flowers. The design is certainly one way to draw in more female viewers to the classic anime cartoon. Check out the pretty Gundam above.

Flexible Expanding Foams
We manufacture 4 types of expanding open cell flexible foams. Our foams are formulated to be hand mixed and poured into closed molds. Foams which are classified as "self skinning" or "integral skin foams" form a rubber like outer skin surface as they expand against the walls of a closed mold cavity. The most common use for self skinning foam is in the manufacture of dash panels of automobiles or to cast soft characters for playground themeing. For automotive dash panel applications heavier 8 to 12 pound density foams are more frequently used. Our flexible expanding foams have good impact resistance and durability; we offer a selection of 12 color options (see color pigments and dyes product page on our web site). We recommend using darker colors for applications which are exposed to direct sunlight. Our Flexible Foam BA -100 forms a heavy high durability skin when compressed inside a closed mold cavity as it expands. Our open cell flexible foams are not recommended for flotation applications as they will absorb water with long term submersion. See our rigid expanding foams product page for closed cell flotation foam. A mold release agent or wax must be used to prevent foams from sticking inside mold cavity, see video demonstration on this page for more information.
Hardness of foam increases as foam density increases from 3 to 12 pounds per cubic foot:
Flexible Foam 300 (3 pound density per cubic foot of expanded volume)
Flexible Foam 600 (6 pound density per cubic foot of expanded volume)
Flexible Foam 800 (8 pound density per cubic foot of expanded volume)

Latent Prints
The Latent Prints Section provides fingerprint support services to all law enforcement agencies of Allegheny County, the County Medical Examiner's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Latent fingerprint lifts are examined for the presence of latent impressions of value (fingerprints, palmprints, finger joint impressions). Latent prints of value are then compared to known or inked impressions of a known suspect and examined for specific characterizations for the purpose of identification. These prints are then retained in the open case file (unsolved) for future comparison, if and when requested.
Crime scenes are processed for the presence of latent fingerprints by examining the scene for latent prints on non-movable objects. All items of evidentiary value are collected and preserved for examination. Inked fingerprints are recorded of victims of crime scenes for elimination purposes.
The Latent Print Section assists the Medical Examiner's Office in the identification of unknown deceased persons. Recorded inked impressions are searched through the central repository (master files) to establish identification of the unknown deceased person.
The Latent Print Section went "on-line" with Pennsylvania State Police Automated Fingerprint Identification System (A.F.I.S.) in 1990. Several major felony cases have been solved utilizing this automated system.

This is probably my favorite body wash of all time. Cleans great, smells great, and leaves my skin feeling great. The only other body wash that's comparable in terms of quality is Aveeno's, but their packaging is just so freakin' ugly that it pains me to have to look at it. It's unfortunate that The Body Shop made this a limited edition, I love the scent so much I keep hoping they'll bring it back.
Shower-on stimulation with ginseng and lime to cleanse and revitalize from head to toe.
I got this on sale for $6 at the body shop and I am very pleased with it. It smells exactly like ginseng and lime, it's very fresh and makes me feel and smell squeaky clean.
For bubble baths, I mix it with satsuma bath and shower gel for a heavenly scent.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This is a great print and the dark colors I chose (majestic + rich red) came out beautifully together. The text is clean and clear, the textured paper gives it a nice feel, and the size is perfect. It was easy to customize and came quickly."
"I loved our finished save the date. We chose the pink orchids to follow our colors and classic theme. The sample I ordered used the regular Signature Textured White which I felt looked like recycled paper and not as high quality. For our finished product, I chose the pearl white shimmer paper, flat card with no picture and rounded corners and plain white envelopes which I'll spruce up with an embosser I also ordered. Love the official save the date and excellent quality with the upgraded paper type!! I can't wait to send them out!"
"Absolutely adore this design. The colors were gorgeous online and came out exactly as I imagined in real life. We played with the typeface a bit, but working with the graphic designer made it a breeze. Highly recommend!"
"So I kept my save the dates with the yellow orchids, as I am having a wedding in Hawai'i and yellow is one of my three wedding colors. I wanted the pearlescent effect on the cards, and I felt it was definitely worth the extra cost. The invite is petite, simple, yet elegant. The paper quality is perfect! It is very smooth and sturdy - absolutely love it!"
"We ordered these without requesting a sample and got the purple version-we were very impressed with the paper quality. the design is beautiful and we cant wait to send them to our quests!"

New Design
Designing structural frames for new buildings is the principal focus of our practice. We work collaboratively with architects, mechanical engineers, and contractors, to propose, study, and develop structural framing system alternatives for each project. Our integrated approach to developing the optimal structure considers not only material quantities, but also project economic, functional, and aesthetic needs.
Contact us for more information.
Modifications & Alterations
When construction ends, a building's life is just beginning, and its uses, functions, technologies, and requirements change over time. Structural modifications and alterations, such as slab penetrations for new communicating stairs and shafts, beam and column strengthening for heavier loads, and new lateral load systems for improved seismic resistance may be required. We have extensive experience designing a variety of modifications, from 150-year-old brick arches to new carbon fiber reinforcement, for both contemporary and historical structural systems.
Contact us for more information.
Feasibility Studies
Feasibility studies at project inception are essential to determining a building's constructability. Often the most important design questions are the most basic: Are the plan dimensions of the proposed tower large enough for it to stand without taking extraordinary measures? How will cost and capacity be affected if the number of stories increases or the proposed tower is cantilevered over an adjacent building? Our compiled data on similar projects enables us to evaluate feasibility quickly and effectively before detailed calculations are performed.
Contact us for more information.
Peer Review
We approach peer reviews as we would want others to review our designs—offering observations and suggestions as helpful professional colleagues. From our broad design experience we know the key issues for each building type, and we focus on those issues in our reviews. Review scopes vary with design stage, project type, and the owner's goals. Review during an early design phase will examine broad concepts, while review of a nearly-complete complex or unusual design may involve developing a parallel analysis model for comparison with the design intent. Safety, economy, and constructability always receive particular attention.
Contact us for more information.
Value Engineering
More than one reasonable, safe, and acceptable solution can often be applied to a particular design. Value engineering asks: "Which of the acceptable solutions is most economical?" This process also asks the more challenging question: "Does an entirely different, better approach exist?" To answer both questions effectively, depth and breadth of experience is required. Our structural design professionals are technically advanced and well-versed in a wide variety of project types, materials, and construction methods to offer value engineering recommendations on any project.

It remains a tough beauty world out there.
Companies on three different continents continued their uphill battles against unenthusiastic consumers, inventory-adverse retailers and unsteady currencies even as their financial results revealed the ugliness in the market.
Second-quarter earnings dropped 64.3 percent at Avon Products Inc. and nearly evaporated entirely at Revlon Inc., with both citing restructuring initiatives and currency fluctuation as contributing to the decreases.
In Tokyo, Shiseido Co. Ltd. reported a 57.8 percent slide in first-quarter profits along with a 14.9 percent sales decline. Fighting the appreciation of the yen and weakness in its home market, the Japanese beauty giant slashed profit targets for the first half and full year based on deteriorating market conditions. Shiseido's shares inched up 0.6 percent.
In Paris, L'Oréal, reporting sales but not earnings, and identified the end of March as perhaps the weakest point of the recession but was able to report top-line growth accelerated in the second quarter. Doing business in euros, currency shifts benefited its business and it forecast "gradual" improvement for the remainder of the fiscal year. Its shares also picked up 1 percent in Thursday trading.
Elsewhere, both Sally Beauty Holdings Inc. and Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. registered 7.3 percent increases in quarterly net income, with Sally's sales down less than 1 percent and Nu Skin's up a similar amount.
For the three months ended June 30, Avon's net income was $84.6 million, or 19 cents a diluted share, compared with $237 million, or 55 cents, in the year-ago quarter. Excluding restructuring costs, earnings per share was 38 cents, 4 cents above the average analyst estimate carried by Yahoo Finance.
Revenues dipped 9.7 percent to $2.47 billion from $2.74 billion, but were up 5 percent in local currencies. Gross margin fell 150 basis points to 62.2 percent of sales.
In local currencies, fragrance sales were up 8 percent, color cosmetics were up 7 percent, personal care was up 6 percent and skin care rose 1 percent. However, translated into dollars, the businesses fell by a respective 9 percent, 9 percent, 10 percent and 12 percent.
For the six months, income was off 52.2 percent at $202.1 million, or 46 cents a diluted share, compared with $423.2 million, or 97 cents, a year ago. Total revenues decreased 11.2 percent to $4.65 billion from $5.24 billion.
Andrea Jung, chairman and chief executive officer, said Thursday that, although the number of active representatives grew an "exceptional" 11 percent, the continuing shifts in currency had a negative impact on reported results.
Still, she said, top-line results built on strong momentum that carried over from the end of the first quarter. "This was driven by both channel and brand strength," she said.
She also told analysts the firm continued to register strong results in Latin America, where Avon enjoyed "healthy double-digit growth" for the ninth consecutive quarter.
Jeffries & Co. Inc. analyst Douglas Lane maintained his "buy" rating on the stock. "We continue to believe underlying momentum acceleration under way at [Avon] is being masked by adverse currency, and would continue to buy the stock ahead of the currency comps becoming much more favorable" in the fourth quarter, he wrote, noting that organic growth, unit volumes and sales force activity accelerated further in the second quarter.
Shares added $2.51, or 8.4 percent, to close at $32.25.

A number of people (esp. in the Kitchens forum) report using recessed cans with Alzak trim and reflector bulbs.
Perhaps I am missing something, but what's the point? Won't the pricy alzak trim do the same job as the reflector in the bulb, allowing me to use cheaper (e.g. spiral CFL) bulbs? Specifically, I have ordered Juno 27WHZ-WH tapered cone trims (wheat alzak) for the 6" medium-base cans that are being put in. This should 'capture' the light from a naked bulb, right? Many thanks, Many thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
The trim does not reflect all the emitted light from the bulb out of the can. The physical characteristics of recessed cans make it such that there will always be trapped light when a bulb is inside a can. I have screw in CFLs in some cans with reflective trim and the light output is never enough or very good. On the other hand, LED modules such as the CR6/ LR6 and RT6 perform much better - lesser conical lighting effect, more light. |

"Got a trojan on Monday and McCafee was all but useless."
I've had this two years on two computers and no problems except: it can't tell time. I set my daily scan time for 8:30 am and it will scan whenever, 9 10 8:50, who knows. I gave up caring, it will scan but not on your time.
1. Company automatically registers you for auto renewal. Thus they charge your credit card automatically, 30 days before the licence expires. Thus the real costs your paying if a 11 month costs not a year protection like they advertise.
2. I understand the virus protection is only gauranteed for 30 days. My relattives just got hosed by McCafee and spent a fortune getting rid of a virus because McCafee basically told them too bad. It costs more to get a virus removed after 30 days. Might as well get a free version of something and save the dough.Summary
My license expires Aug 10,2012. I'm dumping them and going elsewhere. They jacked the price up double from last year, did the auto renewal which I never do and then said they would mail a refund check to me in 6 weeks. Took one second to charge my card, get my money and 6 weeks to refund me.
PS, the trojan horse I got on Monday, went around McCaffee like it wasn't there. My icon was gone, the program couldn't be opened and it was up to me to get rid of the virus which I did and it wasn't easy.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 4
Posted By: marciaeDate: April-23, 1998 at 14:44:18
This morning Denver Post has two very good articles. 1. "Living" Section -- article talking about weight in regards to religious denomination -- i.e., baptists are the heaviest!! I plan on reading the article a bit closer this evening.2. Second A section -- article on Ritalin -- says that we use MORE ritalin during the school year as it's more convenient for teachers to conduct their teaching.
Re the ritalin discussion -- we've heard all the pro's and con's - the thing that hit me with this article is that we're producing a generation of folks that are "pill popping" rather then try and address the illness/situation. The article further stated that this is how we encourage drug addition in teens. Something to think about.
Ed, I'd love to have you purchase todays Post and respond with a letter to the editor. I'm sure any big book store, etc would carry the Post.

PTR- DH's first trip to Disneyland!
In less than 2 weeks, my husband and I will take our first trip as a couple to Disneyland! DH has never been to Disneyland before, although he has been to WDW appx. 3 times (at least once when he was younger, and we went for our honeymoon in 2006, and again in 2007). I'm excited to take him to DL, as DL has always had a special place in my heart!
Here we are at WDW last December: This was somewhat of a "last minute" trip--or, last minute considering our WDW trips have been planned as much in advance as WDW allowed us We decided to go after Disney announced the Armed Forces Salute special. We just secured our hotel last week, as well as dining reservations (definitely last minute for me, as I usually book ASAP!) We'll be staying at the Ramada Plaza Inn for 4 nights--arriving on a Tuesday afternoon, checking out on Saturday. Because the tickets we get through the military discount are only for 3 days, we won't be heading into the parks until Wednesday. Here's what our plans are looking like so far: Tuesday: Arrive at LAX, and drive to Anaheim. Take care of some unrelated errands, and check into the hotel. Head to DTD--check out the shops, walk around and enjoy the ambiance for a bit. Dinner--hopefully the Jazz Cafe (I'm a music nut, so live jazz would be awesome!). This we just decided, so I will call for ADRs tomorrow. We didn't really have a problem getting any of our other ADRs, which surprised me considering how fast restaurants at WDW fill up, so I don't expect too much of an issue with this. The rest of hte night will likely just happen as we decide when we're there. Wednesday: Hit DL as soon as possible. My cousins are meeting us on this day, so we'll be in a party of 4 instead of 2. Lunch--Blue Bayou (I can't wait! Dh and I both want the Cookie Boat!) Dinner--likely counter service, since we anticipate my cousins to still be with us. I'm sure there will be park hopping with DCA today too, since I know my cousins will want to ride there also. Thursday: It's back to being just the two of us. Lunch will probably be counter service. Dinner-Napa Rose (we're slightly hesitant about the menu, as neither of us really likes seafood, but we feel like we can't leave without trying it!) We'll spend more time at DL today also. We have a DSLR with us for the first time on a Disney vacation, so we will spend some time taking pictures and such. Friday: Nothing is really planned for this day. We wanted to try out Yamabuki, but it's only open on Wednesday and Thursday of our trip, so we'll have to save that for later. Any recommendations for an amazing restaurant (for lunch) would be great. We're meeting my cousins for a bon fire Friday night! More picture taking will happen here, both at DL and DCA. We want to get as much out of the rides as we can! Saturday: Head to DTD in the morning to pick up any last minute souvenirs, and then head back out to LAX. DH is heading home, and I'll be heading to spend some more time with my cousins. We're both really excited about this trip! It's a little weird for me, b/c I feel like I should have a little more planned. But I also feel like I know DL/DCA a bit better...and that it's not quite as overwhelming as WDW, so I'm not as anxious about it. I'm pretty sure we'll get to see everything we want to see in those 3 days!
~Angel Ariel
DLR: July '84 (first trip! ), July '86 (family), April '88 (Easter), August 2004 (DCA for the first time!), March 2009, April 2010 (F&W Festival!), April 2011 WDW: July '87 (first trip to WDW!), April '93 (Easter), April '95 (Contemporary), July 2006 (Honeymoon - GF!), December 2007 (SoG), March 2013 (SoG, our princess' first trip! ), October 2013 (SoG, F&W festival!), November 2014 (Yacht Club, F&W adults only trip!)

Round two with Brad Arguello, exec chef of the Uber Sausage
What are your thoughts on social review sites like Yelp, Opentable and Urbanspoon? I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I actually enjoy them. Yes, the reviews are subjective, but at least you get people's insights into what they actually thought of your place. A lot of people will say that they like your restaurant and your food when you ask them face-to-face, but they tend to put their honest opinions on social review sites. I take them as they come, and I try not to get offended by any of them. Ultimately, it's just someone's opinion -- and everyone's entitled to have one.
How you do you handle customer complaints -- and what should customers do when they're peeved about a dish? I hate to say it, but I'm totally about the customer always being right. If my kitchen is prepared to make a PB and J, I'll make a PB and J for the customer -- even if it's not on the menu. There are times when you need to stick to your guns, but we're the ones who are lucky to have customers coming into our restaurant and spending their hard-earned money. If a customer is peeved about a dish, I'll ask them exactly what they want, throw out the old one and prepare something new to their liking. It's not worth arguing about if there's the potential of losing a customer. I cook food to make people happy, and if they're not happy, then I'm not doing my job.
You're making a pizza. What's on it? Grilled chicken, Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, blue cheese, spicy mustard and watercress. My sister, Amanda, made it one time, and we actually turned the combination into one of our sausage sandwiches.
Guiltiest food pleasure: Fun Dip Lik-M-Aid sticks. I hate the flavored sugar, but I love the white chalk-tasting dipping sticks.
Last meal before you die: A burger from El Carro de Mario, a hamburger joint in Córdoba, Argentina, that uses all the cuts from the lomo, which is cured pork loin. They take all the fatty cuts from the lomo, make a hamburger with the scraps, top it with a fried egg and put it on a fresh hamburger bun that they make every day. But the secret is the homemade mayonnaise with lemon and lime that they spread on the bun. I know it sounds gross, but it's hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten; I crave them daily. I was an exchange student in Argentina thirteen years ago, and I recently went back for my host brother's wedding, and when I walked in, the owner of El Carro de Mario, who looks like Mario from the Mario Brothers, was there, and he not only remembered me, he said I was his best customer. No kidding. I used to eat there every day.
Hardest lesson you've learned: A few years ago, I paid a so-called "restaurant consultant" to help me further develop a restaurant concept that I'd come up with. He talked a big game about how he could find investors, and I ended up paying him a large sum of money to "consult" for me. And then I got stiffed and never heard from him again. I learned that you just need to do stuff on your own, and that you shouldn't put too much trust in someone else. A lot of people give you the big song-and-dance routine and promise this, that and the other, but if you want something bad enough, find a way to do it on your own.
What's next for you? I want to open more little Uber Sausage restaurants around Colorado. We want to hit up college campuses like DU or CU, which could always use some more sausage-fests, right?

Yes, I bet the friends and especially the families of CEOs (Cook's base salary $1.4 million, cash bonus $2.8 million in 2012) suffer a lot, more than those of the remaining citizens. Not to forget the grief that especially Cook has with all the criticism that Apple does almost pay no taxes.

Re:fly brains (209 comments)
Thank you, your comments render a much better understanding on my side
However, let me add a few thoughts.
To me, that sounds a lot like conceptual learning isolated from perception. YMMV
Though, I do not know whether "intelligent" behaviour may emerge without the challenges that a body full of sensors as well as (parallel) means to cope with these that is interfaced to a brain that (my view) on a high level (call it consciously, think focus of attention) is concentrating on controlling one task, namely generating "intention" or "goals".
Forgetting could be an actively decided optimization parameter, as opposed to a byproduct of capacity.
Which may occur in the "real world" as well, though presumably focussed in the realm of "emotions" (BTW, this raises the question how emotions interact with more or less cognitive processes).
not a constantly active information stream
Crucial, and I am fine with the whole paragraph, especially as you somehow emphasize the "tool" aspect, which gives you a lot more degrees of freedom compared to efforts to engineer some "reality".
Also, being self-destructive indicates "not intelligent"?
This is taken out of context, namely "immediate trust". My remark was triggered by an (admittedly dim) recall of a classification
that Stegmüller made (K1, K2, K3 systems) with regard to teleological systems. IIRC, one can extend the scheme to a continuum from acting immediately in response to an input to tailoring the action to the outcome of building a "complete" model/simulation of the context (warning: recursion ahead).
I agree that suicide might be an "intelligent choice". Ethics and moral add yet another layer.
Besides, an artificial intelligence
You are probably better of if you call your envisioned system along the lines of "cognitive augmentation". This lowers expectations while still complex enough, shifts the focus from "basic" to "applied" (funding? I speculate "applied" has more appeal) and makes the goal scalable (creating backdoors when confronted with too many nontrivial problems) by redefinition of the target group.
Intelligence requires weariness? Intelligence negates meticulousness?The pursuit of goals is not intelligent?
For an autonomous system, which a tool is not, yes to both: sleep, fuzzyness.
It was not "pursuit of goals" but "follow instructions". Anyhow, with the "toolfocus", this is irrelevant.
Given proper sharing of context, instructions in natural language can be unambiguous
For practical purposes, yes. IMHO, theoretically, no (Gödel).
Disclaimer: I am only expressing my opinions here, which are based on what is left from working in the field in the 80ies and loosely following (more or less meager) development since then.
Re:fly brains (209 comments)
So, more detail.
perfect recall
Conflicts with prioritizing if you have provisions for priority zero (forgetting, irrelevant if the link goes away or the information is erased).
could converse about its knowledge and thought processes
Telling more than we can know (Nisbett &Wilson, 1977, Psychological Review, 84, 231–259), protocol analysis, expert interviews: evidence that this is at least not always possible. My hypothesis is that too much metaprocessing would lead to a deadlock.
conversational feedback would have immediate application without lengthy retraining
Would imply that the system immediately trusts. Would probably be rather self destructive, thus not intelligent.
tirelessly and meticulously follow instructions given in natural language
The antithesis of intelligent behaviour?
So now I say that I see a recursive combinatorial explosion happening during conflict resolution.
Re:What's actually new here? (209 comments)
One of the few good things about getting older is that you can remember hearing the same hype before.
At least, sometimes, the hype spirals in a promising direction
Re:Good points (209 comments)
Mammalian brains tire, need sleep, do not have perfect recall, run things out of time order and convinces itself otherwise, take a long time to train, and has strong emotional needs.
Who has ruled out that these are preconditions?
Re:fly brains (209 comments)
I'd love to have a system with perfect recall, could converse about its knowledge and thought processes such that conversational feedback would have immediate application without lengthy retraining, and could tirelessly and meticulously follow instructions given in natural language.
I see a combinatorial explosion at the horizon.

Taking A Closer Look
- Package
The board came in a nicely designed blue, black and white box. Inside the box was a detailed User's Manual, two IDE cables, one floppy cable, a driver CD, driver diskette for the High Point HPT372 IDE RAID controller and a USB expansion header that enables the two extra USB ports. Abit also include three pieces of software on the driver CD: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Norton AntiVirus 2002 and an Abit Hardware Monitor.
This is not the most elaborate software bundle we have seen packaged with a motherboard, however, you must remember that Abit are targeting the enthusiast market with this board and many enthusiasts are most likely to already own this software, and are just looking for a cheap, high performance motherboard - without the bells and whistles.
- Layout & Features
The Abit BD7II-RAID features a slot layout of 1 AGP, 5 PCI and 3 DDR DIMM slots. Most of Abit's Socket478 motherboards, except their MAX series, of course, feature a similar slot layout to the BD7II and the lack of ISA, CNR and AMR slots shouldn't be a problem for many of you as devices requiring these slots became obsolete long, long ago.
The ATX power header has been smartly placed on the right hand side of the DIMM slots. This is a great position for the power header because unlike previous board layouts, you are not required to run the thick power cable over your heatsink/fan unit, restricting airflow. The IDE and Floppy connectors were also smartly placed, allowing easy installation of drives once the board has been installed into your PC.
The Northbridge is cooled by a silver heatsink, which is quite unusual of Abit as they often have an active cooler attached to the Northbridge of most of their motherboards. My guess is that it ran cool enough without a fan attached and besides, I'm sure most of you can do without the added noise anyway.
The BD7II-RAID features ATA133 RAID support through the HighPoint HPT372 controller. This means the board provides support for a total of four IDE devices on the RAID controller, and another four devices on the regular ATA133 controller - giving a total of eight IDE devices. In my opinion, HighPoint manufacture some of the highest quality RAID controllers on the market and i'm quite happy that this controller has been chosen for the BD7II-RAID.
The board also features a 10/100 LAN port, enabled through a Realtek RTL8100B controller. This should come in very handy to many of you and from our internal testing, the controller actually performs quite admirably, even against PCI solutions. Another feature the BD7II touts is an AC97 audio controller. Providing only 2-channel audio, its sound quality is no where near as good as what you would be getting from a PCI audio solution, however, it is certainly sufficient for general windows use.

Food & Wine SEPTEMBER 2012
In a medium saucepan, cover the tapioca with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over moderate heat until the tapioca is chewy and plump, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool under running water. Transfer the tapioca to a medium bowl. Rinse out the saucepan.
Using melon ballers of different sizes, scoop out 2 cups of melon balls. Chop the remaining melon and transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth. Strain the puree, without pressing on the solids, to extract clear green juice. Add 2 tablespoons of the juice to the tapioca. Refrigerate the remaining juice.
In the same saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of the Moscato to a boil. Simmer until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Pour the syrup over the tapioca and refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.
Spoon the tapioca and melon balls into Champagne flutes and top with the melon juice and chilled Moscato.

Devang Desai is a Raptors fan who writes for theScore's "Counter Attack" and "100 Yards and Running" blogs. He attended a Raptors game for the first time in years on Friday night and wanted to share his observations with us…
By: Devang Desai
The buzz was palpable. There were more people on Bremner Blvd. than I had seen in some time. The Raptors were hosting the Knicks in what would be one of the biggest games on the calendar.
Why there was a glut of people clad in neon tank tops and bandanas eventually began to make sense, as Swedish House Mafia, on their last tour ever, was playing at the Skydome on Friday night. Interacting with "bros" on ecstasy is an experience I don't wish on my worst enemy.
So not everyone was going to the game, but as we waited to get into the Air Canada Centre there was the nervous chatter we usually associate with pre-playoff game jitters, or at least big game jitters. The arrival of Rudy Gay had changed the fortunes of a team that suddenly found themselves within striking distance of a playoff spot.
I hadn't seen a Raptors game at the ACC in a couple of years. While I still followed the day to day happenings of the team, life–I wasn't in the country–and an extreme lack of disposable income kept me away. But on Thursday night a friend texted me the good news – He had two tickets for the game that he couldn't use.
Unfortunately we missed out on the Kyle Lowry bobbleheads, a missed opportunity that will live in infamy whenever I stare at the weird Carlos Delgado duck thing I got at a Blue Jays game years ago. Our seats – Section 323, row three – had great sightlines, as most do in the fan friendly ACC. Seated behind us was an elderly couple that seemed mostly harmless if not overly talkative. If their family wants to know what they're going to do with their RSP's I can fill them in. Beside us were two guys of similar age to my friend and I. They knew ball, which made sitting beside them a treat.
I don't need to tell you, readers of RaptorBlog, how exciting this game was. Defensive intensity was on limited display in the first half. Carmelo Anthony, shaking off a slow start, began to assert himself on the offensive end of the floor. I missed the dread that came with watching the opposing team's best player dominate in person.
The Game OPs were both hilarious and enthralling. A random assortment of mascots from the NHL,NBA and NFL did the Harlem Shake. Shoutout to Billy the Buffalo for making the trip. The "Lil Ballas" showed why they are the hardest working group of child labourers going and the Dance Pak brought it once again–though the group of four male breakers deserve more praise than they got. Prizes, a man in a Mamadou N'Diaye jersey and some excellent DJing made it a fantastic experience.
There were some negatives. The big time fan sitting directly beside us was rather large, drawing a slew of condescending and rude comments from the older couple behind us. The guy knew he was big. Only jerks feel the need to point that out four times a quarter.
Back to the game. What more can you want? An electric fourth quarter crowd drew praise from the MSG commentating team for good reason. It was incredibly loud. After some light coaxing, the people in our section remained standing for the final two minutes. Kyle Lowry's last second, off balance running layup drew a huge ovation.
After the game I resembled one of the aforementioned dudes on a cavalcade of low quality MDMA at the SHM concert. Grinning from ear to ear, we imagined what this city would be like if the Raptors could sneak into eighth and take on the Heat in round one.
LeBron, Wade and Bosh in Toronto? And I thought Friday was loud.

I was poking through Homegoods today, when I found a chandelier very similar to the ones I've been eyeing on Pottery Barn. A plastic bag sealed with tape held the hardware and directions. It had a Quoizel tag attached, which I figured was an indication of good quality. When I got it home and opened the bag, I found a Home Depot canopy and the card it came on. Also a smaller bag containing installation hardware. I've contacted Quoizel CS to see if they can send me the right canopy. It's occurred to me someone might have pulled a switcheroo and put a Quoizel tag on a different chandelier before returning it. If you have a Quoizel chandelier or lamp, do they have a logo or mark anywhere other than the tag? I've looked for images online, but this style is discontinued. I'm so suspicious. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My daughter's Quoizel has a nut which attaches to the canopy inscribed with the words Quoizel. Helene |
If the canopy you have goes with the fixture, does it matter? If not, wait to see if the manufacturer can send you the right one or shop for another. Or return it. Sometimes things wind up at HomeGoods because they have 'issues" and couldn't be sold at full price elsewhere. Doesn't really matter how it got that way. You deal with it or don't buy it. |
Ha! My instincts were correct! I contacted Quoizel for a canopy, hardware, and installation instructions, and got them today. Quoizel is a wonderful company. I told them I bought the chandelier at Homegoods, it is a discontinued style, and they still found the parts and mailed them to me free of charge- within three days of my call. The missing pieces are a different finish, and the illustration in the instructions shows a completely different chandelier. Someone must have looped the Quoizel tag onto this chandelier, wrapped up the junk to go with it, and brought it in for a return. It eventually made its way to Homegoods. It happens. :( So back to HG with the chandelier, and back to Pottery Barn for me. |
