A rich and evocative article called "The Case for Working With Your Hands" appeared in the New York Times Magazine this week. The author, Matthew B. Crawford, left the world of the cubicle to run his own motorcycle repair shop. In so doing he was returning to a love of machines that had given him great pleasure as a teenager and young man –- a love suppressed for a number of years while Crawford trod the standard educational path to success.
It is precisely this path — often called a "track" — that Crawford asks us to reconsider:
A gifted young person who chooses to become a mechanic rather than to accumulate academic credentials is viewed as eccentric, if not self-destructive. There is a pervasive anxiety among parents that there is only one track to success for their children. It runs through a series of gates controlled by prestigious institutions. …
The trades suffer from low prestige, and I believe this is based on a simple mistake. Because the work is dirty, many people assume it is also stupid. This is not my experience. … I have found the satisfactions of the work to be very much bound up with the intellectual challenges it presents. And yet my decision to go into this line of work is a choice that seems to perplex many people.
Crawford recommends the trades for a number of reasons that cross from the economic to the social to the personal:
On the economic front, consider: Workers in the trades cannot be replaced by foreign workers. He quotes Princeton economist Alan Blinder "You can't hammer a nail over the Internet." You can't fix a car, unclog a drain, remove a dead tree, resize a ring, or replace a broken window over the Internet either.
Socially, every trade immerses its members inside a community with standards of excellence that help to shape the work ethic, and even the personal virtues, of those who practice it. Of course, all professions help to shape and form those who practice them, but particularly in the trades, because they deal daily with brute physical reality, this formation is honest and grounded:
There is an ethic of paying attention that develops in the trades through hard experience. It inflects your perception of the world and your habitual responses to it. This is due to the immediate feedback you get from material objects and to the fact that the work is typically situated in face-to-face interactions between tradesman and customer.
As the school year comes to a close around the country with college plans in upheaval for many due to the economic situation, perhaps these words from Crawford will be of comfort and even be a sign post to a different path.
If the goal is to earn a living, then, maybe it isn't really true that 18-year-olds need to be imparted with a sense of panic about getting into college (though they certainly need to learn). Some people are hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents, when they would rather be learning to build things or fix things.
Make. Build. Fix. Maybe that's just what this country needs — more verbs, less verbiage.

I purchased the floor model of the above-referenced dishwasher. It appeared to be in perfect condition, and it couldn't have ever been used because it was not hooked up at the store. It was recently installed in my new house by a licensed plumber. The builder assures me that the installation was done correctly, and I know that the water supply to the dishwasher is very hot. The dishwasher leaves a white film on every item in every load. Moreover, if dishes and cutlery go in with oil on them, they come out with oil on them. We have hard water, but I have seen dishwashers work fine with the same water source. Kitchenaid customer service would only say: 1) I should use Cascade detergent. (I have tried three different types: Cascade Advanced Power, Cascade Extra Action, and Cascade Gel, getting the same results with each one.) 2) I should use a rinse aid (I don't use a rinse aid because they are supposed to help with water spots, and I don't have water spots. Besides, they can leave a chemical residue on dishes, which I am not comfortable with.) Does anyone know what is causing the white film and what I can do to eliminate it? Does anyone know why this high-end dishwasher is not removing oils from my dishes? |

You are using too much detergent with each load. Also, are you rinsing your dishes before putting them in the DW? Don't. Just scrape. You must resist the compulsion to rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Even though your water supply is hot, sometimes the first few minutes of the cycle the water is cold cause it's been sitting in the pipes. Run your kitchen sink's hot water until the water comes out hot, then turn on your DW. Try Finish Powerballs. People here love them. Or, try Method Smarty tabs, available at Target or Whole Foods. Start with breaking the tab in half for each load and see how that goes. Work up to a whole tab if needed, but it may not be needed. Report back. |
Rinse aid does more than prevent water spots. The white film is surely mineral deposits from your hard water. Phosphates are gone from dishwasher detergents. The replacement compounds in the formulations now aren't as efficient at handling hard water. You need to continue experimenting with detergents until you find one that works with your local water chemistry and machine usage conditions. Cascade Platinum and Finish Quantum Powerball tabs have gotten positive remarks from other people with similar troubles. |

I, too, chose to forgo the rinse aid with my new KA dishwasher, but it did a lousy job without it. I gave up and added the rinse aid. |

Okay. I went to Target and purchased all the products mentioned here. I will try them and report back. BTW, I never rinse my dishes before loading them; I simply scrape the big stuff off. |

Our white film issue was also greasy...so appetizing! For us, we have to use Finish Quantum and the Finish all-in-one booster with every single load. No rinse aid. I also learned that if I put the crisco measuring cup in the dw, I am asking for trouble the next several loads so I just hand wash that. A vinegar cycle with no dishes is helpful, too, especially after clearing out the traps in the machine. |
- Posted by kerfuffle6 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 4, 13 at 23:50
I tried the Finish Quantum Powerballs. The white film is greatly diminished, but still not completely gone. I think my dishes (which are glass, not ceramic) may be permanently damaged from previous cycles, so I am going to try the Powerballs on some brand new glasses and glass dishes. I will post about the results. |
Run the clouded dishwasher through a cycle using Lemishine instead of detergent. Lemishine is a citric acid product that deals with hard water / mineral deposits. You can find it with the dishwasher detergent at your store. |
- Posted by kerfuffle6 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 5, 13 at 23:21
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try Lemishine and report back. |
- Posted by kerfuffle6 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 9, 13 at 14:30
I haven't tried the Lemishine yet, but I did wash some brand new clear glass dishes and glasses using Finish Quantum Powerballs. They came out looking great- no white film and no water spots, either! The old clear glass dishes in the same load still look terrible. Could it be that the etching in the glass (from normal wear and tear) is "collecting" hard water deposits that the detergent is unable to remove? |
Can also try wiping them with vinegar. Etching is permanent damage to the glass, if etching is what happened. It's caused by a chemical reaction from too-strong concentration of detergent (alkali) in the dishwasher under the elevated temperature conditions in the wash ... not by normal wear-and-tear. |
I use the Cascade Platinum dishwasher tabs as well as a rinse aid. I use natureclean Rinse Agent - it works very well. I think it's a Canadian made product, don't know if it is available in the US. I have used the Quantum Finish tabs as well, but going forward I will only use the Cascade Platinum - IMHO, for my KA dishwasher, do the best job. Glasses are sparkling clear, plates etc. (scraping only, no rinsing) are very clean. |

So, dadoes, if the glass is, in fact, etched, will it never look clean and clear again? I do notice little "lines" in the glass, but the cloudiness is all over the glass, not just inside the "lines". |
So, dadoes, if the glass is, in fact, etched, will it never look clean and clear again?Correct ... but etching is not dirtiness and it affects only the appearance of the glass, not the functionality. |
When I got my KA dishwasher, not only did KA recommend Quantum Finish, they fave you some samples. It's worked great for me, but will also now give Cascade Platinum tabs a try, too. CPlat must be somewhat new on the market? |

I finally tried Lemishine, and it did an amazing job of removing the cloudy film from my clear glass dishes. I put about a tablespoon of it in the main wash compartment, along with a Finish Quantum Powerball. When I opened the dishwasher to unload, I couldn't believe my eyes. All the glass was transparent again! There were some small opaque white "deposits" on a few pieces, and I was able to scrape those off with my fingernail. Does anyone know what causes those and what, if anything, I can do to avoid them in the future? So now I think my original problem is solved: I just have to use the most expensive dishwasher tablets in combination with a pricey detergent booster, and my dishes will look clean! BTW, the pictures on the Lemishine label accurately represent my "before" and "after" experience with it. I sincerely appreciate the advice all posters offered and, because you seem so knowledgeable, I am wondering if someone can explain our long history of dishwasher woes. The only other time we actually purchased a dishwasher was in1993. I distinctly remember everything about the episode because the dishwasher that was in that house when we bought it finally broke down- the same week that our first child was born. (In fact, until yesterday, I had planned on giving said child all my cloudy dishes to use in her college apartment!) We replaced it with a Whirlpool that we bought for $330. My spouse installed it (though he was a novice), and it worked perfectly for the following 13 years, with whatever detergent happened to be on sale at Target, even though we had very hard water. We have not had a properly functioning dishwasher since. We lived in four different rental houses in two different states (two houses had hard water and two did not, and all of the houses were brand new or less than two years old when we moved in), and none of our dishwashers (two high-end and two mid-level) properly cleaned our dishes. All of them left food residue and a white film on the dishes to one degree or another, even though we kept the filters clean. While we never tried the products mentioned above, we did try many different detergents, to no avail. Did we have so many problems because dishwasher technology changed (e.g., for purposes of energy or water efficiency, to make them quieter, etc.), because phosphates were removed from detergents, or for some other reason? I understand why toilets declined in quality (low flow requirements), but the dishwasher evolution has me puzzled! |
The problem is the detergents nowadays. Many states and other "local" jurisdictions have banned phosphates. Laundry detergents and dishwasher detergents formulas have gone phosphate-free over a period of the last few years. Manufacturers could still market phosphated formulas in areas that haven't legislated a ban, but then they'd have to produce, warehouse, and distribute different formulas for various geographic areas ... so they've gone to producing only the phosphate-free products. The chemical components that replaced phosphates (at least initially) are not as effective against mineral content in the water. Low- to moderate mineral content may be OK but very hard water presents a problem. Larger doses of detergent may help, or may not. However, non-phosphate formulas have been improved as consumer complaints poured in to the detergent manufacturers. The more expensive products tend to be better, go figure. |

LogFormat is a position-independent config.txt/ezproxy.cfg directive that specifies the format that EZproxy should use when recording EZproxy user activity. These requests are logged to the file ezproxy.log or to the filename specified by LogFile. By default, EZproxy records this information using common log format which is recognized by many web server log file analysis packages.
If you would like to collect different information in your ezproxy.log file, you can edit config.txt/ezproxy.cfg specifying your exact format using LogFormat. By default, EZproxy uses this LogFormat command:
LogFormat %h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b
The following table describes the special fields that are available for the log format. When logging URL information, EZproxy records the remote database URL (e.g. http://www.somedb.com/) and not the corresponding EZproxy URL that the user sees (e.g. http://ezproxy.yourlib.org:2050/ or http://www.somedb.com.ezproxy.yourlib.org/). Not all fields are available in older versions of EZproxy, so if a specific field returns -, you may need to update to the current release if you want to that field.
Field | Value |
%a | IP address of host accessing EZproxy. |
%b | Number of bytes transferred. |
%{ expression}e | Evaluate expression as an EZproxy Expression (requires EZproxy 5.1b or later). |
%h | Host accessing EZproxy (always IP address). |
%{ header}i | Specified header from the browser request; Referer and User-Agent are two commonly used headers. Additional EZproxy-specific headers are defined below. |
%{ezproxy-dbvar #}i | Replace # with a digit 0 through 9 to have the DbVar associated with this database inserted. |
%{ezproxy-groups}i | Plus-sign-delimited list of groups to which the user has access (e.g. General+Restricted). |
%{ezproxy-protocol}i | Protocol of the remote server accessed (i.e. http, https, or ftp). |
%{ezproxy-session}i | EZproxy identifier for the user's current session. |
%{ezproxy-spuaccess}i | When used with LogSPU, insert proxy if the remote user's access to the URL will be proxied, local is being redirected due to ExcludeIP, or unknown if the URL is not known to EZproxy and Option RedirectUnknown appears in config.txt/ezproxy.cfg . |
%{ezproxy-url #}i | Specific portion of the destination URL. # is a number that specifies which portion to insert. For example, in the URL http://www.somedb.com/abc/def, %{ezproxy-url1}i would return abc, %{ezproxy-url2}i def, %{ezproxy-url3}i returns a blank string. |
%{ezproxy-usrvar #}i | Replace # with a digit 0 through 9 to have the corresponding UsrVar associated with this user inserted. |
%l | Remote username obtained by idented (identd is not used, so this always inserts -). |
%m | Method of request (e.g. GET, POST). |
%r | Complete request (e.g. GET http://www.somedb.com HTTP/1.0). |
%s | HTTP numeric status of request (always 200 in EZproxy 1.0 and 1.2). A table of special EZproxy-specific status codes appears below. |
%t | Date/time of request; may also appear as %{format}t to specify a strftime time format. |
%T | Time in seconds to process the request |
%u | Username used to log into EZproxy if "Option LogUser" appears in config.txt/ezproxy.cfg ; session identifier if "Option LogSession" appears in config.txt/ezproxy.cfg ; - otherwise.To log both username and session, add only "Option LogUser" to config.txt/ezproxy.cfg , then use %u for the username and %{ezproxy-session}i for the session identifier. |
%U | URL requested (e.g. http://www.somedb.com/). |
%v | Virtual web server's hostname (e.g. www.somedb.com). |
%% | Single percent sign (%). |
\n | Newline character. |
\t | Tab character. |
The browser that the user is using is called user-agent, so you can add this information to the ezproxy.log by editing config.txt/ezproxy.cfg and adding the line:
LogFormat %h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b "%{user-agent}i"
then restarting EZproxy.
EZproxy adds the special header %{ezproxy-session}i as a way to access the unique session identifier created when each user logs into EZproxy. If you want to track all sessions, including username information, you might add these lines to config.txt/ezproxy.cfg :
Option LogUser
LogFormat %h %{ezproxy-session}i %u %t "%r" %s %b
"Option LogUser" causes EZproxy to record the username in %u. Since EZproxy does not use %l, it is replaced with %{ezproxy-session}i which causes the unique session identifier to be recorded instead. This location typically contains a username, so your web server analysis software may automatically use the information in this field as a way to tie information together and report information grouped by sessions.
When considering the use of "Option LogUser", "Option LogSession" and "%{ezproxy-session}i", please give careful consideration to the balance between the data gathering possibilities versus the potential privacy issues of being able to bundle together the browsing history of your patrons.
In addition to the standard HTTP status codes, EZproxy may record the following special status codes under the specified circumstances.
Code | Meaning |
597 | Recorded on access attempts after the IntruderReject threshold has been exceeded |
598 | Attempt made to access an unauthorized EZproxy administration function |
599 | Starting point URL referenced a host that EZproxy is not configured to proxy |
900-905 and 907 | Error occurred receiving the request from the remote user's browser |
906 | Error occurred forwarding the request from the user's browser to the remote server |
950 | Error occurred interpreting an administration request from the remote user |
997 | Shibboleth login failure due to metadata misconfiguration (recorded as 999 in early beta releases of Shibboleth support) |
998 | Access denied based on a DenyIfRequestHeader directive in config.txt/ezproxy.cfg |
999 | Access attempted from an IP address that is in a RejectIP address range |

Sunday, June 17, 2012 - Page updated at 08:00 p.m.Northwest Wanderings: All hands on deck at model regatta
By Alan Berner
Seattle Times staff photographer46th in an occasional series
Model-boat builders are drawn to the challenges that come with attention to detail.
Lee Stewart's 1/12th-scale Edwardian river launch, the Topaz, "is steam-powered just like the original." It is propane-fired, with a young captain at the helm (a doll ordered online) and an engine and boiler built in England.
The passengers have a tea set and an actual copy of a newspaper of the day, The Dispatch, in miniature, along with a box of cigars and a copy of "Gulliver's Travels."
There's also a sink and a loo.
Stewart's large hands barely fit in the space above the boiler where tiny knobs have to be turned as the boat is prepared for sailing. He is retired from the microcomputer business, so this passion is a perfect fit.
One of his models is of a Japanese whaling ship, and a fellow member of the Northwest R/C Ship Modelers has threatened to make a Greenpeace boat to attack it.
But while motoring the Topaz at South Lake Union Park in Seattle, the unintentional hazards of boating came into play when a sailboat with no rudder or radio controls clipped the stern, sending the aft cover, the British flag and a brass pole into the pond.
That ended the Topaz's day.

This is the perfect hot pink lipstick I've been looking for! It's a blue-based hot pink and the color stays true. This feels amazing on my lips. They look and feel super-moisturised and silky smooth. I have quite big lips that easily dry out with a lot of lipsticks but NEVER with this one! The color lasts really well too. After a cup of coffee there will be a little bit of a lip print on the mug but my lipstick will still be intact. Even though this is a "frost", I love it (I usually dislike frost lipsticks). My skintone is NC20 and this is incredibly flattering for my skintone.

I'll be honest, I bought this online because I really wanted a bright, summery colour that would be perfect for the up coming warmer months. In the past, I've never ventured beyond neutrals, even Reds were a rarity in my makeup case. However, upon receiving this lipstick, I tried it on immediately and it was AH-MAZING. It's like an instant feel-good lipstick. Seriously, its like happiness in a tube. I love it so much, I've been wearing it around the house, even when I'm just studying/doing housework. Its unbelievably flattering on my NC42 skin tone, and I can just dab it on if I only want a touch of colour. The frost is barely noticeable and it applies like a dream. Wish I had bought a back-up.

I got this lipstick in a swap and i must say its a beautiful colour in person than in pics but yet it looks better applied on the lips. even though trimming talk is a frost, i found this not to apply like a frost formula at all. i dont like frost formulas, but this one is just fantastic. great staying power as well.

I picked this up in a MAC store in San Fransisco, CA. It's from the MAC Colour Craft Collection. I love it by it's self, or I pair it with MAC Lipglass in Funky Fusion, which is from the same collection. I love bright pinks on my lips, with a soft eye. I will find the replacement color for this and repurchase when neccessary! I hope no one missed out on this great buy!

Such a beautiful color, but as some of my other items, I cannot pull off this color. I want it to work so badly, and it really is pretty, but I can't do it. The pink is very vibrant and very unique. Would recommend it to people with the right skin tone for it in a heartbeat!

Trimming Talk was my buy when I was too scared to get Girl About Town. It was wonderful, I loved it. A frosty hot pink, not too frosty, as I'm no big fan of frosts. Just good enough for me. (NC44)

It's a nice shade! Stays on long and not too drying on lips. Would look really nice in the summer. I just don't put too much on because color would look too bright and purplish. I'm an NC 25.

Gorgeous bright magenta color! Even though you can find similar shades of lipsticks on the market (it's a fashionable color right now), I love this particular lipstick. It is bold and chick, a perfect lipstick pick for a date. Surprisingly, it is wearable and the frost finish does not show up too strongly.

I got this when it came out with the Colour Craft collection earlier this year. It is a fabulous electric fuschia pink that looks super hot with a cat eye. If you recall some of the bebe ads in the past few months, the model typically wears some color like TT and a cat eye. Very fierce and sexy lip. Definitely would repurchase.

im not gonna lie, there is not much to say (the pictures are super accurate and self-explanatory). it's a pearly cool-toned hot pink, kind of like show orchid but without the blue irridescence, but the same kind of pink.
I love this because i love hot pinks that lean toward the cool side rather than the red side

Further safety proposals for 2005 15 Sep 2004
Technical directors from the Formula One teams have agreed proposals on three key safety areas, which they hope to see introduced for the 2005 season. The details are as follows:
Wheel tethers:
Each wheel will be restrained by a tether system which is capable of absorbing more than four times the energy of existing tethers. This has been made possible by research carried out by the newly-established FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety into the development of metallic tethers, rather than the fibrous tethers used currently.
Research conducted by the FIA at the Transport Research Laboratory in the UK has demonstrated that an increase in the thickness of side headrests would offer significant safety benefits to drivers. The thickness of side headrests will therefore be increased from 75 to 100 mm.
Debris containment:
Following a number of incidents where sharp shards of debris have been blamed for tyre damage, all front wing endplates, barge boards and other turning vanes will be manufactured using outer skins of materials such as Kevlar which tests have shown can reduce debris by as much as 80%.
The proposals were drawn up by the Formula One Technical Working Group at a meeting in Monza last weekend. They must now go before the Formula One Commission and the World Motor Sport Council for approval.

Do you still have to write a "story" for a lack of form annulment? I am dealing with an elderly decon who seems confused at times. I don't think he has ever come cross one.
Not sure what's required. I think you just fill out a questionnaire and provide a brief statement. You might want to find a different advocate. It's best to have someone who's knowledgable and on his toes.

I bought a 2 feet tall plant on sale and I need to know if this truly will not grow more than 4 feet tall like the tag says. What is your experience with this one? The width? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I find that the estimated size at maturity will be off in places where the growing season is long (say, in the South). Since they do not stop growing when they reach 10 years of age, it may get taller/wider afterwards. If it does then prune accordingly. Enjoy W/D. I do not have it here but it is a very nice dark red! |
The height on labels is customarily the height at 10 years of age. Very few happy plants stop growing when they are 10 years old. If you go to Scotland where many plants are 100 years old, you find many rhododendrons that are more than 20 foot tall. The saving grace is that they grow slowly and are easy to prune to keep near the "10 year old" height. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How to care for rhododendrons and azaleas.

i got this as a gift set so i have the travel size bottle. the smell is a bit sickly sweet but it's not as bad in the shower or on my skin after i'm out of the shower. very moisturizing and it doesn't make me break out. i feel kinda slimy/slippery after i wash it off though which makes me stay in longer to get the slime off. can go without moisturizer after using this.
Delicious! Creamy and lathery. I will repurchase. Thankfully I bought 2 for 1, so they'll last awhile. It smells like crisp green apples.
More reviews by vanillasugardream
I have repurchased many of these. Even though it is a current item, i have been lucky enough to find it at places like Big Lots, and on clearance @ Walmart
It is thick, rich, creamy, smells like apples and some other scent i cannot put my finger on. It lathers well, is gentle, yet cleanses quite thoroughly. Daughter also likes it. The bottle is cumbersome and huge, but you do get about 20 oz of body wash so I really cannot complain!
This works wonders! I got this in a travel pack along with "Sugar Kick" exfoliating body scrub and "Smoothie" body lotion. They all work awesomely and they smell sooo yummy! I will defiantely buy all of these again.
I love this so much! But, I do agree that the bottle is difficult to deal with. If you have the travel size its much easier (and you can just keep refilling it) But, a packaging flaw will NOT keep me away from this!
This is a great, moisturizing body wash. It is reasonably priced and has a great apple scent! It lathers nicely and leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. however.. I do agree with the others..the bottle is big so it makes it hard to squeeze.. maybe they need a packaging redesign!
This body wash did smell great, but the texture was so thin it didn't moisturise at all. After using this for a week or so I broke out in hives on my body because of this. Pity.
I love love love this body wash.It is one of the few moisturizing body washes that actually moisturizes.Has a great scent and it also rinses off easily.
Leaves skin soft and smooth.
great stuff, but, the bottle is heavy (found out when i dropped it on my toe in the shower) my solution is to pour a it into a travel size bottle, seems to do the trick. a little pricier than i would like but, you get quite a bit of product and it smells SO good. it has a really fresh apple scent instead of a sticky-sweet scent. yum :)

Hello, Do you think it is a good idea to describe the layout.conf in PMS? It's used in the tree already, and pkgcore complains about missing 'masters=' already. Well, 'masters=' basically requires introducing cross-repo stuff in PMS but overall information on the file, its purpose and format may be a good start. We don't have to specify the exact keys yet. -- Best regards, Michał Górny

Doom 3 is a science fiction horror first person shooter game developed by id Software and published by Activision and released for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and the Xbox. The game is a remake of the original Doom in which an anonymous space marine stationed on Mars fights against the demonic forces of Hell.
The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest corporate entity in existence. Originally focused on weapon and defence contracts, new ventures have expanded into biological research, space exploration, and other scientific endeavours. With unlimited funds, and the ability to engage in research outside of moral and legal obligations, the UAC controls the most advanced technology ever conceived.
Sergeant Thomas KellyEdit
- Took your sweet time Marine?
- Now, here's the situation. Another member of the science team's gone missing. As you're the ranking FNG, you get to find him. I want you to check out the old decommissioned comm facility, we heard he might be headed that way.
- You deaf Marine? When I say move, you better move!
- All units, this is Sergeant Kelly. We are under attack by an unknown enemy force. Fall back to Marine HQ to regroup. I say again, fall back to Marine HQ and await further orders.
- Marine. I can't believe you're still alive. I'm unable to return to Mars City, all passages out of the Delta Complex have been blocked. I'm setting up a command post here where I can monitor status reports of the entire base from central Delta Authority and communicate with other marine teams. It's your mission to link up with Bravo Team and get that transmission sent. Head toward Alpha Labs, it's the fastest way to find them. I'll update your PDA security clearance from here. Good job and good luck marine.
- Marine, Bravo Team is down; their operational status is unknown. They were carrying a military transmission card. It's vital that you retrieve that card as it contains encoded data needed to send a distress signal to the fleet. You're the last hope to get reinforcements. Find that card and find it fast.
- Marine, Delta system computers are showing all off-base communication down. It's that fool Swann isn't it? You're going to have to find another way to send that message. Make your way to the satellite room and manually establish a link from there.
- I killed that pathetic bodyguard, and now I will kill you.
- (as Sabaoth) Welcome to the Mess Hall! Your duty has always been to die, soldier!
Dr. Malcolm BetrugerEdit
- Amazing things will happen here soon, you just wait.
- Death will not be your end. Your soul will burn in hell forever!
- I have the Soul Cube in Hell, and you will never find it!
- It's not out of control Swan, you are. I'll manage this and you and your flunky will be taking control of nothing. Do you understand?
- Making progress are we? And in such a hurry to find us... to find... me. There is no need to rush, I am everywhere, and everything here is mine. It's a pity you did not alert the fleet, but it is of no consequence—I'll alert them myself. They will come to the rescue and be consumed by my legion. We will use their ships to bring this Hell to Earth! You won't live to see it, and you will die long before you have a chance to warn them.
- Or Alternatively if you sent the transmission:
- We thank you for alerting the Fleet, for warning them. You're such a fool. They're racing here, racing to us, and we are waiting for them... Waiting for them to fall into their worst nightmare. They will join my legion and with their ships, I will bring this Hell to Earth!
- Welcome to my domain. Behold the shape of things to come. The time has come for the forces of Hell to escape their prison and drive mankind...into DARKNESS!!!! (echoing evil cackle)
- Your darkest fears will soon be realized as your soul burns in Hell! There is nowhere to run. I...am everywhere and you will NEVER find the thing you seek!
- For every step you take, your soul moves closer to me.
- Suffering and pain awaits for you.
- You are too late: Hell no longer needs that portal to enter this world! The invasion you saw was only the first wave, the Hell Gate is capable of sending millions of my children into your world. Soon, the fleet from Earth will be here, and with their ships, we will bring this Hell to Earth!
- Making progress, Marine? Your journey is futile! You will die, and your soul will be mine!
Counselor Elliot SwannEdit
- I can't believe its come to this, I didn't want to come here!
- True, but this is the last time. I am tired of running damage control every-time he leaves a mess.
- If that's what it takes, Betruger is going to start doing things our way.
- Why are so many workers spooked, complaining, requesting transfers off Mars?
- Marine? Can you hear me? Back off from that console. Do not call for reinforcements, we do not know what the hell is going on here, and until we do this area remains under UAC control. Cancel that transmission.
- Still alive? Looks like you might be on your own: Sarge is gone. They've got to him. I don't know how long he's been working against us. He's... no longer human. Campbell went after him. He's got to be stopped. Hell is breaking loose in the Caverns... If that portal isn't closed before those ships arrive, Earth will be destroyed.
Jack CampbellEdit
- He left you no choice.
- Right, you're the control, and if that fails, I'm the damage.
- Whatever you say Councillor.
- Where are you hiding?
- Sarge... find him... you gotta find him... my gun... he's got my gun!
Dr. Jonathan IshiiEdit
- Huh? No, no, please... you must let me get this communication out. They have to warned while there is still time!
- You don't know what I've seen! You can't possibly understand nor comprehend!
- The devil is real... I know, I built his cage.
UAC maintenance workersEdit
- Hey, you're looking for the scientist, right? I'm not sure if you want to find him. You see, uh...never mind!
- I really shouldn't talk about it.
- I thought I was the only one still alive. I can't believe I found you. Something happened, I don't know what. It was like a shockwave. It passed through the entire base. People started changing. It was crazy. I was working up here on the vent shaft. I don't know how I survived. Go for help, please.
UAC scientistsEdit
- And then Betruger: he went through the portal himself. I don't know what he was thinking. It was an unscheduled trip and he just went and we couldn't stop him. And when he came back he had changed. He sounded and looked the same, but... I don't know, he was just... different. And then he did the unthinkable: he took the Soul Cube — the device that was discovered in the ruins—into the portal. The portal stabilizers just started to fail, and then, living hell erupted into the base.
- [UAC Marines enter the ruins of the Mars Base]
- Echo One: Recon Zulu, this is Echo One, give us a visual status.
- Recon Zulu: Echo One, this is Recon Zulu, we've got massive damage all over the base, this place looks like hell. I've got life-signs on the bio scanner, eyes sharp. Echo One, we've got a survivor, a Marine. (to the player) Corporal, you hear me, you all-right? Can you hear me? Echo One, this is Recon Zulu, prepare for Medevac.
- Echo One: Copy that. Have you located Counselor Swann?
- Recon One: Yes, sir. He's dead.
- Echo One: Roger Recon One, what about Dr. Betruger?
- Recon One: He's nowhere to be found, sir.
- [Cut to a scene in Hell where it is revealed that Betruger has been transformed into a massive flying demon - the Maledict.]

I noticed that one of my plants has very little white bugs all over most of the bottom leaves. I think they are bugs even though they are tiny and I don't see them move. I did notice that they were on a few leaves but spread to most of the plant. Did anyone have a similar paroblem and how do you get rid of them? |

It sounds like White Fly. I use Neem Oil and it seems to work. You just mix a couple of table spoons with water in a spray bottle and spray as needed, maybe every couple of weeks, again if needed. Good luck! |
- Posted by birdgardner NJ/ 6b (My Page) on Tue, Jul 25, 06 at 9:20
With white fly, you will see white pupae that don't move, about 1 millimeter long, along with barely visible flyspecks. As they mature, you will see clouds of white flies when the leaves are disturbed. If you hit the underside of the leaves with a strong spray of water every day, that will provide decent control. If you want to spray less often, insecticidal soap, Neem oil, or horticultural oil will do the trick. |
It is probably white fly but there are other little white bugs that don't move. Do they look like the pictures on the link below? |
Here is a link that might be useful: White fly image search
The more I read about the White Flys, the more I think it is not them. The tiny white spots are on the tops of the leaves only and do not move when sprayed with water. I tried shaking and spraying the leaves and they do not move. They are as so small and appear to be stuck to the leave. I cannot make out any distinctive marks because thay are so small. They also do not appear to be eating the plant but I have noticed that they are also attached to some of the branches in this vine like plant that I have. I am at a loss for what they are and how to treat them. |
- Posted by birdgardner NJ/ 6b (My Page) on Wed, Jul 26, 06 at 13:50
Neem or insecticidal soap ought to kill any bug. Maybe you've got some kind of scale. |
What is the infected plant? |

A few months ago I posted about inheriting my grandmother's furniture since she moved from her house to a retirement community. You all helped me tremendously in choosing a light fixture, so I wanted to show the results and get some advice as to what to do moving forward.
The furniture was purchased in 1969 and is cherry. The upholstery is original and in fairly good shape. I'll reupholster eventually but don't want to rush into that decision. The green tablecloth and blue candlesticks are pieces my grandmother strongly felt should stay with the furniture - they are displayed for her benefit when I took the photo. The prints on the wall are something my great uncle brough back from Japan after WWII. So what next? I think the most pressing issue is window treatments - it is a large window with transom and southern exposure. Suggestions? How else would you decorate this room? |

Lovely furniture. Now, that said...the green tablecloth just does not go with the grey wall. The question is do you like the grey wall most or the green tablecloth most. Personally, I would not put a tablecloth on your table and put a colorful centerpiece on the table. I would get a rug that will go with your chairs AND the grey wall. A pretty mirror would look good over your buffet. The two small pictures are lovely but too small for your wall. Maybe they could be put on either side of of the china cabinet. Can't answer your question about curtains since I do not see the windows. |
- Posted by EngineerChic (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 16:13
I love the contrast between the warm cherry furniture and the cool gray wall. I agree with grandmaof3 about getting a rug, though. Furniture color + wall color is great, but the floor detracts somehow. And I love hardwood floors, so it's a puzzle to me as to why I think "needs a rug". I would go with a rug that reads dark, both as a nod to the walls and to minimize appearance of dirt and spills. The small pictures are pretty, but need to be on a smaller wall. Maybe on the other side of the doorway, arranged with one right over the other? This is a fairly traditional looking room, so a mirror or oil painting above the buffet would be nice. I suggest an oil painting because I think something with depth would be nice (mirror also gives a certain depth). Somehow a photograph doesn't feel right in this space. Of course, the further my minds eye goes, the more I agree with you about relocating the candle sticks. I like them, but I'm not sure I like them in this room - unless you go for a very eclectic look. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 16:30
A rug Drapery fabric with a fairly large, multicolored pattern. More and larger artwork. A mirror with a gold frame. A floral arrangement or plants for the table or sideboard. |
Please could take a few more photos of the room showing the window? Always helps us to help you find window treatments .... Yes -- a vote to move the two pretty Oriental prints -- perhaps stack them above the server? Or do try on each side of the doorway OR on each side of the buffet cabinet above a side chair. Yes -- a rug would be very nice -- check out deals on indoor/outdoor sisal rugs -- might be on sale around the Web right now .... Also -- perhaps look for a lamp for the server -- always nice to have lighting options! :) |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 17:01
I'm so glad you chose to use your GM's furniture; I knew you were questioning this earlier. It is lovely in your DR. I like your wall paint also. I don't think the table cloth and candlesticks are working with the room. What if you fold the pretty tablecloth into a neat square and store it in the china cabinet where you see a touch of green. I occasionally see vintage lines displayed this way. If you find something that works better for the table, you could also showcase the candlesticks in the cabinet for a pop of color. I agree with Pal about patterned drapes. |
I love the set in your room.. as others have said, the wood and caning work beautifully with your wall color. I would also like to see more art-- but please don't split the japanese prints. I'd stack them on one side of the china cabinet. I love the idea of folding the green tablecloth and adding it to the china cab. I love to see color and texture in a china cab. I can't see the windows but I think you should be able to go any direction with this look. I'd select a rug first and coordinate to that.. but I rather like the colors in the chair upholstery. Maybe some blue grays, sage greens and rust in a rug? Very lovely.. and so nice that you could carry on and make such a beautiful room with your grandmother's furniture! |
As others have said, we sort of need to see how the window is placed in the room. I would put the prints above the server and get a HUGE mirror for the wall they are presently on..depending on where the window is. Your floor is beautiful, new fresh looking. I think the issue is the dining set is showing its maturity. When you reupholster you might want to freshen the wood with a new coat of wax or poly depending how it is finished. |
- Posted by jerseygirl_1 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 22, 12 at 7:31
You have a very nice start. I love the style dining set from your Grandmother. My suggestion is to re-frame the prints with larger frames and new matting. I agree with others who suggest stacking them over the buffet. If you have an AC Moore in your area, they have precut matting that will fit into larger frames. Love your chandelier. The hurricane glasses on the buffet doesn't seem right to my eyes. |
- Posted by cottonpenny (My Page) on Thu, Nov 22, 12 at 19:12
Thanks! How silly of me not to show the window! I replaced the prints with a larger painting - ??? It needs to be higher, I know. I have others if you don't think this one works. What color for the drapes? I don't even know where to start. |

Personally I could not hide those windows behind too much drape. I would do sheers (these are from the BedBathstore and are very inexpensive). For privacy I would have some roll up shades. The rug is an Amy Butler. |
Love seeing the wood table top. Much more interesting and better coloring with the rest of the room. Love the new art. Perfect amount of saturated color and zing of the gold tones and frame. It also ties in the upholstery colors so they work. I like the draper selection offered above, but am not so sure about the rug style. I would want to know more about your region and how the other areas of the home are done before choosing a rug. I think that I might want a rug in similar colors with less visual contrast and a more filled in background |
- Posted by porkandham (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 8:19
I'd start by finding a rug that you love. |
- Posted by cottonpenny (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 9:33
Julie - the rest of my furniture is more modern, contemporary, or however you want to put it. I bought a lot of it from Room and Board if that gives you an idea. But it's not their real MCM-ish stuff. So the thing I struggle with in this room is finding items that I like and that fit into the rest of my house but still match the rather traditional furniture. I am holding off buying a rug for now cause I want the floor to start to darken a bit before I put a rug down (it's natural cherry). But I need something for privacy. Should I buy roller shades and just hold off on drapes too? |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 15:32
Here's what I'd do while waiting to choose and lay a rug. Reframe the pair of prints with larger, cream colored mats, and hang them one over the other, with the lower one fairly close to the surface, above the small server. Replace the candles in your hurricanes with cream ones...that way, you repeat the brass base and cream shades of your chandelier. Hang a large gold-framed mirror on the wall where the prints are now. Add two pairs of simple candle sconces, one pair on either side of the mirror, and one pair on either side of the painting. Use either tapers that match the ones in your hurricanes, or ones the color of natural beeswax. Find a linen or dull silk fairly wide striped fabric in pale cream and the gold or butterscotch color in your painting, and make simple full-length curtain panels to hang out beside your lovely window. If you can find ready-made panels in those colors, so much the better. Use the same striped fabric to cover the back wall of your china cabinet. You can do that with pieces of acid-free mat board cut to the right dimension(s) which you then wrap and tape. Little sticky-back dots of velcro work well to hold them in place. You'd be amazed at how much light and life a pale patterned back can give a large wooden cabinet like yours. Replace the tablecloth with a long runner in a coordinating fabric. I think those steps will make your room snap into focus, and none of them will argue with whatever you choose later for the floor. (And if you are counting on exposure to deepen your floors, you should probably move your table and chairs aside from time to time, to change where the shadows fall.) |
- Posted by cottonpenny (My Page) on Sat, Nov 24, 12 at 7:54
Thanks bronwynsmom! Do you think the current painting there is ok or would you still replace with a mirror? Or put a mirror over the server and move the small prints to the sides of the hutch? I like the idea about the fabric on the back wall of the hutch. Sounds like an easy way to modernize it a little. I know you said stripe for the curtains but I kind of really like this...? |

Thanks! Where can I buy Laura Ashley fabric then? Google images search only pulled up a Ukrainian website with some pretty fabrics but not that useful! Can I use the blue candlesticks (need to buy the actual candles)? The centerpiece I think is too small, but experimenting with the blue color. |
- Posted by Cindyloo123 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 24, 12 at 15:54
Whoa. I know you didn't ask and apparently others like that chandelier, but I think it overwhelms everything else in the room. Any chance you could exchange it for a smaller size? The room is beautiful so far and those windows are really pretty. I think you are right that the window treatments are the next thing to tackle. Maybe when the room is all finished the chandy will look more appropriately sized to me. |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Sat, Nov 24, 12 at 16:38
Actually, I love the chandelier... But having seen the hurricanes on the table, I think they may be a little too big as they are. Can you use them without the glass hurricane shades, and put shorter fat pillars on the bases? I think that would solve the proportion issue. The blue ones are pretty, but I think a little too delicate for the spot. Slightly chunkier brass ones would work better, I think, and would keep the theme of brass and cream for all the lighting sources. I don't know about the fabric source...anyone else? I know there are a lot of stripes like that out there. Have to run, but will try later to find something. |

Back to fabric...I found the Navona Stripe on the British Laura Ahsley site, where it is only offered in made-to-measure shades, which isn't what you're after. Take a look at these curtains from Restoration Hardware: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1509100&categoryId=cat1608015 ...and these...also look at these in Silver Sage, if you wanted to involve the colors in your painting in the curtains: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1158564&categoryId=cat1560020 I also saw these on Overstock today for practically no money, and if you wanted to bring the green of the painting in instead of blue, you could consider these: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Pistachio-Stripe-Blackout-Back-tab-Pole-Pocket-Curtain-Panel/6971801/product.html |

Cindyloo - I think the chandelier looks bigger in the photos than it does IRL for whatever reason. It is a little oversized, but I like it that way. Bronwynsmom - Oh, the hurricanes! The story behind those is that I purchased them for my wedding and have had them (actually I have 4) in storage ever since, having never had a place to put them. They are..."oversized" as well. They aren't really designed to be used separately. One came apart during the move though, and I tried it out, but it looks kind of precarious. I really like those first RH ones (pavillion stripe in goldenrod)...but the price!! Jterrilynn - so sweet of you to remember! I haven't finished the room or bought a chair. I can't find anything to work with the bright primary colors of my son's toys scattered all around, so I'm holding off for now ;-) |

Hmmm...you might be able to use a horizontal stripe, but I think those have too much going on in the pale stripe. I know those RH curtains are spendy...do you have a local store? Are they planning a sale? Their panels are lined, and reasonably well made, and for the cost of fabric, lining, and labor, the price is not unreasonable. But as I also know too well, we have the budgets we have! So I'd keep looking. I do think something like the RH ones would look best. And I see your point about the hurricanes. Perhaps you will have to keep looking for a proper place for them. Seems to me you could use them separately if you wanted to. They have a nice simple profile. Do you have a mantel they could live on? |
- Posted by cottonpenny (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 13:57
Whatever is going on in the pale stripe is just olioboard being weird...it's actually just ivory cotton. I am kind of leaning that way...I'm just more of a cotton girl than a silk girl, KWIM? I wonder if I could put a small glass plate on top of the hurricane base and that would make it look more stable. Or I have these small hurricanes. What do you think? I don't have a mantel and they don't really go in any other room. |

Oh, now that looks nice! Good idea! |
I saw a picture in a decor book last night that immediately made me think of your dining room. The room in the picture had traditional furniture, a big gold statement chandelier, and leopard print upholstery on the chairs. The look was classic, but contemporary all at once. Leopard would look beautiful paired with that striped fabric suggested by bronwynsmom, too. So my vote is for more golds and creams, with black accents. I'm not a big fan of the painting, but I think it's purely a matter of personal taste, as I generally don't like that style of artwork. The colors in the piece do look very nice in the room. If that is the artwork you decide on, go with roman shades in a modern print that picks up colors in the painting, maybe a suzani or ikat pattern. Roman shades are crisp and angular, but still traditional, so they could help bridge the gap between the styles. Also, I know you said you're not necessarily ready to reupholster yet, but I think it would be a good idea to decide on a color scheme or pattern for the chairs before you invest a lot of time or money in other items. Why match to something you want to get rid of anyhow? |

Cottonpenny the only thing that really matters is that you like the chandelier! I can see how the size may be distorted in the photos. The bottom of your chandelier should be 30" off the table. I think this is a chandelier meant for a higher ceiling, but if you raise it up enough it will still work. The only reason the hurricanes are not working is that they are too tall for a light hanging that low. Unless of course the height is distorted and it is already 30" high...in which case disregard! |

I need to know how to measure if a recipe for pickles calls for 8 cups of vinegar for every 7 pounds of cucumbers and a box holds 13 pounds and 2 boxes are going to be used. I want these to be safe for a first time pickle canner. I think 2 gallons is right. Thank you for your help. |
