Started this today. Don't know where I'm going w/the crown - an old piece off a roll of tin I bought years ago. Dress it up, or leave it country? The pupils w/get a white bead for highlights after grouting.

CALAM - that was EXACTLY what I wanted to use for her crown, but the two cake tins I had weren't the right colors, so I used the old tin. I missed seeing that piece last year. Guess it got lost in the eviction. I'll be leaving a week from Sunday. Here's today's progress. HobLob didn't have flesh-colored glass, so I used glue chip glass. Can y'all BELIEVE I did this to myself. It w/be weeks, maybe months b/f the Weldbond dries, so I have to find another project until this dries. I'll work on the crown in the meantime. Creating another grouting nightmare. Flesh covered |
oh yeah, you're going to have a long wait... but I look forward to seeing what you do to the crown! |
- Posted by gardencrone (My Page) on Wed, Jan 13, 10 at 8:11
Well, you could "pretend" that she is from MN and call her the Ice Princess for right now. Looks like she was caught in an ice storm (actually could be Florida too...lol) I'm sure she will thaw out with such great comments from the gallery. So what is glue chip glass? |
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Wed, Jan 13, 10 at 9:11
Maybe she could use some of that gold glass up on her crown? Just border stuff maybe? Off to PV! Oh man, ya gotta take lots of pics for us to see!!! Be our eyes and our ears...and tastebuds!ha! |
crone, glue chip is the same glass that VanGogh is made of. it has an etched pattern like frosted leaves or feathers. Its made by baking animal hide glue on its surface and it chips it in these patterns. heres a pic of single but you can get double (twice treated) for a busier pattern. Its cheaper that sg and you can paint it to make your own VG |

Nicethyme. Thanks! I think I have a bunch of it in the pile of scraps I just got from the stained glass store. I didn't know that was how they made it. Actually I tried to make a color on one by painting on glue and then putting some metallic type eye shadow on the surface. (think I read that somewhere here) Ah well, I have enough to "experiment". I appreciate your description and photo. :) |
Her majesty is amazing! |
Slow...you are SO much fun! She looks like an Egyptian queen for sure. I too like the bling! Are you going to put somewhere inside or do you have a special place picked out for her in the house? Addiesue |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Sat, Jan 23, 10 at 9:06
Thanks, y'all. There are just two little spots that have a teensy bit of wet Weldbond. When I return from PV, I'll work on the crown - got the outside of it covered, but have to do the inside. Have no place in my house for her. A gallery about two hrs. from me, where I've sold recently, asked that I bring more stuff in, so she'll probably be placed there, along w/a few other things. My house if full. |
time to buy a new house and start over! LOL kidding, I love your queendom! wow the weldbond dried faster than I expected... have a great trip Slow |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Mon, Feb 15, 10 at 17:21
She was doomed to the trash until I toss the crown and substituted the pearls. I made so many mistakes on this - don't like her, but tired of trying to salvage her. She is what she is!!! W/try to do better on the next one. Finished Wig Stand |
and see - I was amazed when I saw her on Flickr, I think shes fabulous. The pearls were inspired, she makes me think of Cleopatra. what mistakes do you think you made? cause I can't see anything but a great save! |
- Posted by nanatricia (My Page) on Mon, Feb 15, 10 at 21:31
I like her so much better with the pearls!!!Onley you know the mistakes.She is great!!! |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Tue, Feb 16, 10 at 9:15
Many thanks, y'all. The pearls for hair was DD's idea. Wish it was mine, and yes, she looks a bit Cleoish. The lips I screwed up - left them blank, but it looked awful, so I filled them in w/joint compound and painted them. I have a couple more of these stands, but won't be sooooo anxious to work on either of them. This was a rush to a project when I finished the pet grave marker. Shows me not to rush the inspiration - there wasn't ANY, and it shows. Thanks, anyway. |
Slow, I love her...and yes she does look Cleopatraish... |
- Posted by calinromania (My Page) on Wed, Feb 17, 10 at 7:25
wow. she's pretty. and yea. she's like the Cleopatra of Disco. :) |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Wed, Feb 17, 10 at 10:17
Thanks, y'all. |
- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Thu, Feb 18, 10 at 12:26
I love how she looks, especially her face, she has a real "look" going on!!! |

But it was, it far and away out performed what the studio was hoping for, was widely heralded by the public and met with rave reviews by the critics.
It was a small budget movie with a small promotional budget featuring a dead franchise by pop culture standards. If Disney had spent half as much promoting it as they did The Game Plan it probably would've done twice as well.

Hey, Seventeen. It's Paige, and this week's video is a dorm room tour. This is my dresser area. This is my little big toy, Slicker Doggy, and my favorite picture of me and my best friends at prom. This is my bed with all my different pillows and my personalized blanket that I love so much. These are my collages that I made back at home before I got to school. These two are focused on something that is very important to me, fashion. The other two are of my family and friends back at home that I miss so much. This is my desk with all my books on it and my little Seventeen corner. My yellow lamp and that's my closet. And last but not the least, this is my roommate and her side of the room. Isn't it cute? And I hope you enjoy my little room tour. Thanks for watching.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
Synology chose an Intel Atom processors running at 2.13GHz for the DS412+, an extremely powerful yet efficient processor for the task. Paired with the Atom, Synology chose 1GB of DDR3 that is upgradable to 4GB.
When we discuss NAS appliances and servers, we group them by the number of drive bays. The DS412+ is a quad bay NAS that supports 4TB HDDs and that gives us a total of 16TB of user capacity before RAID over head. This NAS also has extra expansion options, dual USB 3.0 and a single eSATA port, all on the back of the unit. Getting to that data is what's important though and that is why the DS412+ ships with dual gigabit Ethernet ports that can be teamed to deliver over 200MB/s of network performance.
Synology manufacturers feature rich NAS products that take advantage of new and existing technology.
Using Google Shopping we found the diskless DS412+ for as low as $615, but if you don't want to worry about checking for compatible drives, Synology also sells preloaded DS412+ units that increase in price as you move up the capacity scale.
Synology provides the DS412+ with a two year limited warranty.

The State of Illinois has mandated children in Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grades to have a dental exam.
New adult back teeth often come in during 2nd and 6th grade. These teeth are at risk for tooth decay. However, using space-age technology, oral health professionals can now prevent the most common type of decay from infecting these important teeth by applying dental sealants.
Dental sealants are special coatings painted onto the bumps and grooves of the chewing surfaces of back teeth, blocking food and germs from causing decay. Dental sealants are safe, effective, pain-free and much cheaper than fillings. Children should get both a dental exam and sealants, when appropriate. Be sure to schedule this important preventive medical service now when you have more time.
An estimated 51 million school hours per year are lost because of dental-related illness. Poor oral health ahs been related to decreased school performance, poor social relationships, and less success later in life. Children experiencing pain are distracted and unable to concentrate on schoolwork.
Children should enter school free from dental problems. Kindergarten is a great time for children to get exams and a clean bill of health. If the dentist finds tooth decay or other problems, take care of it right away. Don't delay in treating decay. Start the school year right. Call your dental office today.

Dallas has 22 traps to deal with all those loose and stray dogs roaming the streets
The Dallas City Council found something it could agree on Monday morning: There are entirely too many stray dogs in the city limits, especially south of the city center, and not nearly the number of traps needed to contain the problem.
According to animal services manager Jody Jones during the morning briefing, the city has just 22 traps large enough to hold stray dogs — and some of them have been stolen or are broken, according to Code Compliance Director Jimmy Martin. And that, in the words of council member Rick Callahan, is "kind of a mind-boggling thing" in a city the size of Dallas.
"A lot of kids can't play in the street [and] a lot of seniors are afraid to walk" in their neighborhoods, he said. "We'd like to solve that."
To that end, he and colleague Dwaine Caraway, chair of the Quality of Life Committee, suggested fencing off some 20 acres of city-owned land and letting them roam free till the city can figure out what to do with them. Caraway, who's not afraid to let loose with a nutty proposal, was, as always, absolutely serious.
He said it could be "a dog farm where we pick up [and drop off] the stray dogs and they can just run loose on 50 contained acres while we figure it out." Said the representative for District 4, which is among the tops in stray-dog service calls, they have become the No. 1 complaint among his constituents, surpassing drug houses and smoke shops.
"People are afraid," he said. "Children are afraid. I've had people call my office when children could not pass a house because of the pit pulls on the front porch. We cannot handle every single problem, but we must do the best we can. Right now it's out of control."
Jones and Martin do not disagree, which is why they've asked the Dallas City Attorney's Office to revisit the animal ordinance. Jones said she wants the authority to issue civil citations to owners of strays, at least when they can be found. Right now, she told the council, animal services workers have to physically hand an owner a ticket. The ordinance rewrite, one of several proposed to the city attorney two weeks ago, will allow them to leave the notice at the owner's home. Then, said Jones, "it becomes the owner's responsibility to deal with it."
Jones said the city's going to begin "SMART Sweeps" of "target areas" where strays are an issue. Those sweeps will deal with everything from enforcement to education. Which is terrific, said Caraway and Callahan, but they worry it's not enough, not yet. Callahan thinks a fenced-off area could serve as "a holding pattern till we can catch up."
Meanwhile, Caraway had another (facetious) suggestion involving Sandy Greyson, the rep for Far North Dallas, where, apparently, every dog has a home.
"Ms. Greyson said she didn't have any strays," Caraway said, looking toward his vice chair. "I said, 'Can I put 20 in a truck and bring 'em over to your district?'"
To which Greyson responded, "I said no."

I am looking for two topiary pieces; a Tiger, and a Wall Street Bull. Approx 5 feet long, 3 feet high (somewhat lifesize), but I can't find anyone that carries them. I've gone to sites that sell small pieces, but I'm looking for pieces already grown/developed, that can just be planted immediately. Please, Please, Please, does anyone know who carries these products? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mark, I assume that you have done a search for "life size topiary forms". Large specialized companies such as Rittenhouse will do sturdy custom order stainless steel frames, which you need due to size. Suggest calling them and discussing your need. Be prepared to spend mucho dollars for them. |
Hi, I saw a huge horse here : http://www.frontgate.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1416&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1,2,145,749&k=BIZRATE5 Perhaps you may check if they can offer what you need ? but, Wow... that's quite expensive !!! |

Haven't seen a tiger....saw a jaguar...like a jag hood ornament, I think it was topiary joes.. There is a place in Ore. that does animals, I have seen photos of several types of cattle and wildlife, including an elephant. They are not done in a frame, they are carved and shaped from trees....hence they take a long time to produce and are quite expensive. Large pieces are also usually custom ordered. I will see if they still put out a list and get back to you |

Whereas last year's peak produced bursts of several meteors per second, early accounts coming in for the 2002 Leonids suggest rates more like several per minute. Still, considering the event was hampered by the light of the full Moon and widespread cloudiness, most observers will agree that this shower produced a terrific display, even if it didn't match last year's spectacle.
The still-emerging picture indicates that predictions of two peaks centered at about 4:00 and 10:30 Universal Time on November 19th (corresponding to 11:00 p.m. EST on the 18th and 5:30 a.m. on the 19th, respectively) were correct. Observing near Busra, Turkey, Tunç Tezel witnessed the start of the first peak and reports, "There were minutes with up to 10–12 meteors. The best time interval was between 3:35–3:55 UT, then the rates went down with the brightening sky."
Observers along the Eastern Seaboard got a taste of both peaks with the radiant, first positioned on the northeastern horizon, producing a few spectacular grazing meteors that streaked across most of the sky. As senior editor Alan MacRobert comments, "These made up in beauty what they lacked in quantity." For the second peak, it was a race between morning twilight and increasing Leonid activity.
Meanwhile, skywatchers farther west were in prime position for the second peak, which at times resembled the celebrated 2001 display. Observing from southeastern Nebraska, David Knisely reports, "I was almost ready to call it a night, when at 4:15 a.m. [CST] the sky opened up with about an hour of meteor mayhem! They started doing the exact same thing that they did last year, coming in bunches and bunches! I saw five appear at once in the Sickle of Leo, perfectly delineating where the radiant was. Some were a nice greenish color, while a few were red."
This year's shower likely represents the last of the big Leonid shows for many decades to come. Well-known Arizona deep-sky observer and author Steve Coe summarizes, "Obviously this year's Leonids were not nearly as prolific as last year's display, but it was worth losing some sleep over. I will miss these excellent meteor displays from the constellation of the Lion."
As will we all.

Nintendo's DS Lite has been in high demand ever since its debut in Japan earlier this month. The handheld is a redesign of the original DS, which itself was in short supply as a result of selling out over the holiday season. However, those who waited in long lines just to try to purchase the machine won't have to wait much longer.
On the company's official Web site, Nintendo has announced that it will be stepping up production of the new portable, with its figures for March jumping from its original target of 450,000 units to 550,000 units. The future looks even better for would-be DS owners, with Nintendo revealing that 700,000 DSs will enter the pipeline in April.
Nintendo has not yet announced a release date for the DS Lite in North America or other regions outside of Japan. For more information on the DS Lite, check out GameSpot's DS Lite preview.

› High-Level Forum on Migration: Forum Documentation
High-Level Forum on Migration: Forum Documentation
International Migration Outlook 2009
This edition serves as background documentation for the High Level Policy Forum on Migration (OECD Paris, 29-30 June 2009). The first chapter examines the economic crisis and its impact on international migration, describes how flows and migration policy have been recently affected by the crisis, and analyses the forecast for medium and long- term impact. The second chapter addresses the management of labour migration, both high-skilled and lesser skilled, in order to respond to future labour market demand and redirect irregular migration into authorised channels.
Issues for discussion
This note provides some questions to help guide the discussions among Forum participants. The structure of the note follows the programme for the one and a half day conference (Paris, 29-30 June 2009). More detail on the impact on the current economic crisis on migration, on the management of labour migration to support economic growth and on the integration of immigrants can be found below in the Background Paper prepared for the Forum.
Labour market integration of immigrants and their children
The labour market integration of immigrants is a topical issue in many OECD countries. This document presents the key findings from the recent OECD country reviews on the labour market integration of immigrants and their children (
Jobs for Immigrants, vol. 1 and 2
). It looks at recent developments in integration policy and provides an overview of the labour market outcomes of immigrants as well as their main determinants. Lastly, the document makes recommendations for an effective integration policy and provides examples of good practices from the countries reviewed.
Policy Brief - International Migration: Charting a course through the crisis
The economic downturn affecting the global economy since mid-2008 has turned into a jobs crisis. In this context this OECD policy brief tries to respond to the following questions: How are immigrants faring in the labour market? What are the short term effects of the economic crisis on migration flows and policies? How will migration flows change, quantitatively and qualitatively, in the medium term? What are the main long term challenges in terms of integration of immigrants? How and how much will origin countries be affected by the impact of the economic crisis on migration?

Infusing TPN
0Jul 19, '03 by rileygrl11I remember all through school having it drilled into my head that TPN was to infuse by itself and never to piggyback ANYTHING else into it. Where I work RN's consistently piggyback numerous drugs into the TPN line. Most often it is antibiotics, pepcid, morphine and zofran/phenergan. I am currently searching for info on this from the internet, but in the mean time would like your input. Thanks!
0Jul 19, '03 by passing thruAre you in a major teaching hospital Tory?
Or a major cancer center?
Are these triple lumen central catheter intravenous lines?
In major cancer hospitals I worked in, and in some teaching hospitals, it was the same as you say.
Patients simply have so many intravenous medications....everything goes thru the TPN.
I have not seen any adverse or negative consequences . -
0Jul 19, '03 by WhiteCapsI agree, NOTHING but lipids are to piggyback into TPN. There is too much risk of contamination/sepsis. We recently had a pt with only one central line site who was on TPN/Lipids. With the doc's written instruction, we did piggyback into the line because there was no other available access. That pt got septic, despite the most careful sterile techniques.
0Jul 19, '03 by passing thruMaybe the patient got septic from another cause.
Only if the catheter was removed that day and cultured by lab with blood and urine cultures, can you say with even minimum certainty
was the source of the infection.
you can have a wound infection, an infected tooth, a UTI, and become septic
AND contaminate the iv catheter with bacteremia from those sites. -
0Jul 19, '03 by passing thrutHE # 1 RANKED cancer center in the U.S. has been doing this for 25 years.
Their pts. have low white blood counts D/T immunosuppression.
I don't think they would put their patients at risk if infection were that easy.
One thing they DO NOT DO IS,.....DRAW BLOOD FROM A CENTRAL LINE.
TPN & lipids, antibiotics, iv therapy, yes , all go thru tpn line. -
0Jul 19, '03 by rileygrl11Thanks for the QUICK replies! And to "Passing Thru",...yes, I work at a major teaching hospital and it is the largest in our county. We have TPN most often through a PICC or it's peripheral parentral nutrition through an IV.
0Jul 19, '03 by gwenithTPN is very acidic and some solutions are alkaline so there is a PH incompatablity. You can get dual lumen PICC lines and certainly triple and quad central lines.
Apart from the sepsis angle there is actually little researched and verifyable information about drug interactions within IV lines. Yes! there are texts that list what does and does not mix but not every drug is tested on every possible admixture.
Just because you do not "see" an interaction taking place does not mean that one has not occured. -
0Jul 20, '03 by nursesearlI agree, WhiteCaps. In home care, we draw blood from a central line all the time.

Glaze and team make important discoveries in medical history
Eliza Glaze, associate professor of history, was part of an international team of scholars who may have reinvented the current understanding of medical manuscripts. In a gathering funded by the National Humanities Center and titled âExcavating Medicine in a Digital Age: Paleography and the Medical Book in the 12th-Century Renaissance,â scholars gathered from as far away as Australia, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany and Canada to examine the evidence for medical thought and writing in the late 11th- and 12th-century Europe.
This particular period was considered "because it was a pivotal moment in the history of Western medicine: the point when learned medical practitioners in Europe first began systematically to retrieve earlier Greek writings on medicine and to adopt the sophisticated medical theories and practices from the Islamic world," says Glaze. "This period laid the foundations for what would become scientific medicine in the West."
One key was to combine the skills of historians (who know what the texts are) with those of paleographers, specialized scholars who study the history of books and the production of manuscript books. The other was to use the new digital technologies of image production and transfer to bring together a large enough body of data to allow systematic comparison of a wide population of material manuscript evidence.
âThe high-quality digital images the group assembled in advance, studied individually, and then assessed collectively here at the Center are a tremendous resource that truly demands a more public airing. I look forward to seeing the publications to follow,â said Glaze.
The group is now exploring additional funding options from a range of international agencies to assess the feasibility of creating a sustainable Internet database of images, transcriptions, translations and research findings of more than 400 manuscripts preserving these and other medical important texts. -

Wittkower has new book out on Facebook philosophy
"Facebook and Philosophy," a collection of 23 essays on philosophic topics concerning the social media site, has been published by Open Court and edited by Dylan E. Wittkower, a philosophy lecturer at Coastal Carolina University.
The compilation was written by professors and academic experts from around the world who discuss the demographics of Facebook, privacy issues, virtual friendship, the value (or valuelessness) of status updates, Facebook as factory, issues of self-identity and more.
"This is what is so valuable about Facebook: the indeterminate meaning of so much of what it is and what it does," writes Wittkower. "This indeterminacy allows us users plenty of space to make things mean what we want them to. If there's anything humans are good at, it's creating meaning through social interaction."
Wittkower is also the editor of "iPod and Philosophy: Icon of an ePoch" (2008) and "Mr. Monk and Philosophy: The Curious Case of the Defective Detective" (2010), and author of book chapters and journal articles on topics ranging from the morality of copyright, to the experience of listening to audio books, to the predominance of cuteness in online culture.

Except her line is, "Help me out with one. Come on, girl, you know I'll get you back. Come on, now, come on." The crack fiend's eyes are those of a panicked horse.
Brushing the woman aside, Laticia makes her way through the milling throng of crackheads and hustlers in the Motel 9 parking lot and into a brightly lit room with an open door flanked by stony-faced men positioned like sentries outside a palace. Five minutes pass. Laticia comes out of the room in notably better spirits, tucking a blackened glass pipe into the sleeve of her blue-and-white-checked flannel shirt. She passes the motel office on her way back to Colfax. There's a weathered sign next to the office door that reads: "To serve you best we work hard because we're Motel 9."
Feeling chatty now, Laticia entertains questions. She says she's from Denver and is pretty sure she's 29. This is harsh if true, because Laticia looks older, much older.
"I've been selling my pussy for going on five years," she says. "And I've never been arrested, not once. I'm too voodoo for them police." She doesn't have a pimp, exactly, though male crackheads will steer business her way for a percentage should they chance across a Colfax john scraping for a bargain, which happens fairly often.
"A lot of the white boys who come down here, they're looking for some crack, and then they're looking to get their dick sucked, usually in that order," she says. "They just want to handle everything right there in their car. They don't want to be messing around with no motel room or any of that shit."
Laticia's painfully aware of her out-of-town competition, the circuit girls. She says that two summers ago, or maybe last summer -- she's a little hazy on the timeline -- she was getting her hustle on across the street from three circuit girls on the corner of Colfax and Steele Street. She was undercutting them on prices and taking away business until their pimp told her to beat it, then slapped her silly when she told him to go to hell, that Denver was her town. The hostile pimp threatened to rape her with a hot curling iron if he caught her whoring on "his side" of Colorado Boulevard again.
Many other native crack whores have been similarly beaten and threatened, according to Laticia, and with no pimps to defend them, they've had to accept the terms of an uneasy truce. The circuit girls work wherever they want, and the crack whores stay east of Colorado Boulevard. Laticia says the pimps use "tudge boys," street slang for hired enforcers, not only to rough up circuit girls who get out of line, but also to patrol Colfax, looking for crack whores out of bounds.
"Those nasty pimp motherfuckers -- they don't want to do their dirty work themselves, so if they catch you slipping, they'll sic a tudge boy on your ass," she explains.
Laticia's derision is not reserved solely for pimps. She has no love for their circuit girls, either.
"They show up here thinking they're all that, looking down on me like they're better because they're wearing some damn miniskirt and a fake necklace their man bought them, when you know he's wearing the real gold," she says with a snort. "I don't need a man, don't want one. My pimp is Mr. Crack."
Motel 9 was only twenty minutes ago, but Laticia is already getting jittery, not as interested in talking. She's walking west on the south side of Colfax, passing a succession of pager and cell-phone stores owned by Salvadorans where Kid Rock rotates out his four phones and six pagers every other week. She stops to check out the window display in one of the three clothing boutiques in the stretch between Colorado and Monaco that specialize in the hip-hop "hoochie mama" look: hot pants, miniskirts, glitter tops. Kid Rock is a regular customer here.
"The way they dress, they're targets," Laticia says.
She looks down at her own casual garb -- denim and flannel -- outstretches her arms for a moment, then shakes her head and keeps on, blending in with the other creatures of the Colfax night.
Half an hour later and five miles west, Kid Rock is munching a plate of French fries -- Dominique's favorite forbidden snack -- in a booth at Tom's Diner. It's a little after 1 a.m., and he's made $1,300 in the last six hours. It's been five nights since he "trunked" Asia. "She's coming along," he says, swabbing a fry through a pool of ketchup.
The pimp wipes his hands with a napkin, stands up, peels a ten-dollar bill off a fat money roll, drops it on the table, and nonchalantly struts out to his Lincoln. A little bit later, he passes Dominique at her usual post outside the 7-Eleven and taps his horn twice, just to let her know he's there.
A pager rattles on his belt. He picks it up, looks at it and says, "Aw, shit, what now?" It's an emergency page from Asia. She's at the Lazy-C Motor Lodge, next door to Motel 9, and she's in trouble. The pimp punches the accelerator and rockets through the Colorado intersection at sixty miles per hour. He gets to the motel, runs up to a room and starts pounding on the door. No one answers, and the pimp steps back to kick in the door. But just then, Asia calls to him through the open window of the room three doors down. Inside, Kid Rock finds her in bad shape. Her neck's scratched, one of her cheeks is puffy and crimson, and her bottom lip is ruptured and leaking blood, which has been smeared all over her face like war paint.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chance!
Facts about Chance
- Breed: Australian Shepherd
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chance's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chance is a 4 year old, neutered male Aussie with a full tail. He is black and white and fuzzy all over. You will want to sink your hands into his soft coat and snuggle this friendly guy. He loves kids (he follows his foster family kids around) and is great with other dogs (he wrestles with his young housemates and is respectful of the older crabbier dogs in the house). Chance is calm in the house and quiet in his crate. He is deaf, so his new family must be willing to learn to communicate with him by hand signals. His foster family is teaching him new hand signals and is housetraining him. Chance came to Aussie Rescue of MN as an outside farm dog that was chasing cars and trains and was not good with poultry. At his foster home he isn't allowed such activities but he definitely shows a lot of chase instinct toward birds flying overhead and vehicles in the driveway. Chance would need to be in a home with a fenced yard or where he is kept on leash. He walks well on a leash and would most likely be great at a dog park with other dogs. He will chase the cats in his foster home only if they run but does nothing but sniff them when he gets to them. Chance is a calm, adaptable and friendly dog.
Other Pets at Aussie Rescue of Minnesota
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chance, a Elk River Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Elk River, or seeking a Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Elk River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elk River already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elk River breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elk River paves the way for another one to be saved.

Before you stir the stuffing this Thanksgiving, a non-profit group is stirring up some food for thought on the Cal Poly campus.
Thursday was WTF Day, which stands for "Where's the Food, Without the Farmer?"
Volunteers with the group "I Love Farmers" took the opportunity to help Cal Poly students understand where their Thanksgiving feast comes from.
"We believe that if we can get young people's attention, that we can talk to them reasonably and realistically about where their food comes from, so that they'll make different buying and voting choices in the marketplace," said Scott Vernon, coordinator.
Similar events took place on 15 other university campuses today, including U.C. Santa Barbara and Stanford.

Following a tradition stemming from a proclamation made by President George W. Bush in 2005, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors and the City Council of Colonial Heights recently adopted resolutions recognizing January 2013 as Crime Solvers Month. People who attended the meetings heard how the Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program has existed for more than 28 years, helped to solve more than 6,700 crimes, and helped recover nearly $2 million in stolen property.
They also heard how Crime Solvers did all these things with the help of law enforcement agencies in Chesterfield County and Colonial Heights and the 25,000-plus tips provided by the public.
Crime Solvers relies on the support of concerned citizens and businesses to cover the cost of monetary awards provided in return for tips that help to solve crimes. The money collected also supports Crime Solvers' scholastic programs.
In recognition of Crime Solvers Month, Chesterfield County-Colonial Heights Crime Solvers is holding a fundraiser with the help of area Sheetz, Flagstop and Ledo Pizza locations. At these businesses, supporters may sign pledges of support and contribute a dollar or more to Crime Solvers. Crime Solvers extends its thanks to everyone who pledges support.
Crime Solvers is wishing everyone a wonderful New Year and asks everyone to "Take the Time to Solve the Crime!"
For more information about Crimes Solvers, and learn about additional ways to support the program, visit crimesolvers.net.

I wrote to Flag and she thought you might all like to know about this too.
We've been out camping a lot with friends, and we've got a fun way to make breakfast the way EVERYBODY likes it. We grate a couple different kinds of cheese, chop up some cooked bacon, ham, and onion, and anything else that's about. Then we put two or three scambled (but uncooked) eggs in a ziplock bag for each person with some salt and pepper and invite the friends to add whatever else they want from the rest of the stuff. Put each person's name on their bag with a permanent ink pen. Then we just pop them in a big pot of boiling water for a couple of minutes. Easy and FUN! |

I'd like to personally thank Marcus Dominelli for this wonderful and educational guest post. Last year I bought a Dominelli guitar (spruce/indian) and love it. You can see photos of my guitar here. I didn't order this guitar, I just visited Marcus and decided to buy this one which he had in the shop. I was previously playing a guitar by Stephan Connor.
I've written a spotlight post about Marcus which you may also like: Spotlight: Marcus Dominelli – Luthier, this one includes a video interview and more!

Bracing Styles for Classical Guitars
This is a guest post by luthier Marcus Dominelli
I'd like to discuss the basics of bracing used in classical guitar making. This article is intended for those who know little about how classical guitars are made; however, some experienced luthiers and musicians might find it of interest as well. It's not possible to overview every type of guitar bracing in existence, my goal here is to briefly examine the common types, and some of the forces that have pushed the evolution of the classical guitar in new directions.
The soundboard bracing basically does two things. First, it stiffens the soundboard so as to minimize distortion of the top from string tension. Second, the bracing affects the sound of the guitar, and the string response.
The neck, back and sides, scale length, box size, string type, and many other elements affect the volume and tone of the guitar. But the intent of this article is to focus on the soundboard and how it's braced, because it is this area which has the biggest affect on the over all sound. It is, in the truest sense, "the heart" of the guitar.
Ladder Bracing
Around 200 years ago, most guitars had what is often called "ladder bracing." It's probably the simplest form of bracing, consisting of struts glued in perpendicular to the grain of the soundboard. The guitars made by the famous French luthier Rene Lacote had ladder bracing. Here is a photo of an 8 string Lacote style guitar I made for the guitarist Murray Visscher.
This photo shows the inside of the same guitar. You can see how the two braces that cross the lower bout are not parallel. Instead, the braces get further away from each other toward the bass side of the soundboard.
Many luthiers believe that asymmetrical bracing, such as pictured in this guitar, will resonate to a broader range of frequencies. I've found that excellent guitars can be made with either symmetrical or non-symmetrical bracing. As always in guitar making, a number of things are required to make a great sounding guitar. Well made ladder braced guitars like the ones made by Lacote had excellent clarity and projection, and could fill a concert hall as well as any modern instrument.
Many lutes also have ladder bracing. Here is a bracing photo of an Arabic lute, or "oud" that I recently made. It has many cross struts. Lutes and ouds are made with very thin soundboards, usually 1mm to 1.5mm thick, which gives them their characteristic tone. The best sounding ouds are made "under the brink of collapse", with just enough bracing to keep them from imploding. It is said that they sound their best when made to these fine tolerances.
American steel-string acoustic guitar manufacturers used ladder bracing as well, although it was slowly phased out after the Martin Guitar Company invented X-bracing in the 1920's. Ladder bracing did not withstand the high tension of steel strings very well. X-bracing was not only stronger, but produced a warmer tone and an all around better sounding guitar. Still, ladder bracing continued to get used on less expensive makes and models well into the 1950's despite its shortcomings when used with steel strings.
Fan Bracing
Antonio de Torres (1817–1892) is generally given credit as the father of the modern classical guitar. He radically redesigned the instrument, giving it a larger body, lighter bracing and a thinner soundboard than did his predecessors.
The bracing pattern shown here, or slight variations of it, is the most widely used pattern in the classical guitar since the time of Torres. It is now commonplace, but 150 years ago it was truly revolutionary.
You can see from the picture how the braces are now running more in the direction of the soundboard grain, and not perpendicular to the grain like in the lute and many of the early 19th century guitars such as those made by Lacote.
This change in brace orientation is significant to the musician. Combined with the larger body and the thinner soundboard, fan bracing makes for a warmer, earthier sounding instrument with a much stronger bass response than the ladder braced guitars of the early 19th century. Simply put, Torres' guitar had a greater dynamic range of tonal possibilities, and was a more versatile tool for making music. This image shows some variations in fan bracing patterns.
The Modern Concert Guitar
By the 1950's, thanks in large part to Andres Segovia, the classical guitar had made its way into the concert hall. This really marked the beginning of the separation between the classical and the flamenco guitar, the latter evolving very little over the next 50 years to the present. Until around 1950 it could be well argued that there was little difference between flamenco and classical guitars in terms of design. I will not discuss it here, but this could be the subject of a future article.
The other significant change that happened in the mid 20th century was the advent of nylon strings. The nylon polymer was invented in the 1930's by The Dupont Company. Prior to around 1950 virtually all classical players were using gut strings, and guitars were built with gut strings in mind.
Gut is about 20% denser than nylon, the net effect of which from the point of view of the musician is that nylon does not sound as bright. The problem for the luthier is how do we get that brightness back? One way is to increase the height of the bracing to stiffen the soundboard, thus enhancing the treble frequencies of the guitar, which many luthiers did.
Nowadays we have access to carbon strings, some of which are even denser than gut, but these have only been available for a few years. In the 50's guitarists did not have a plethora of string choices like we have today, so luthiers they had to increase the stiffness of their soundboards to compensate for the mellower sound of nylon strings.
Further compounding the problem is the fact that the fan-braced Torres guitar tended to be more bass heavy in terms of balance. A good concert guitar needs to sound bright, clear, and articulate in order to project to the back of a hall.
Most luthiers will admit that it's relatively easy to make a guitar with a strong, lush bass response, but making one with strong penetrating trebles is a much greater challenge. This was as true 60 years ago as it is today.
This switch from gut strings to nylon, and the need for a louder, bigger sounding concert instrument forced many luthiers to change the way they built their guitars. Let's look at how one famous luthier responded to these challenges.
Jose Ramirez 3rd
Many will know the Ramirez name because it was Andres Segovia who played and endorsed Ramirez guitars for much of his career. Jose Ramirez 3rd had an interesting approach to making the concert guitar louder and brighter. He tried a number of things:
1) First, he stiffened up the treble side of the soundboard by introducing a new brace which, not surprisingly, has become known in lutherie lexicon as "the treble bar" as you can see in this diagram of his bracing pattern:
2) Second, Ramirez was the first manufacturer to widely use Western Red Cedar for soundboards, as you can see in the photo above. Cedar has some advantages over spruce, the main one being that cedar is on average about 15 -20% lighter in weight. Jose Ramirez 3rd believed so strongly in the superiority of cedar over spruce that he wrote in his book Things about the Guitar that "Stradivari would have used the American wood had he known about it." The top in the above photo has a cedar soundboard with spruce bracing.
Prior to the 1950's European spruce was the standard material for guitar tops. Nowadays cedar is more commonly used for classical guitars than spruce, although spruce remains an excellent soundboard material, many still preferring it to cedar for its tonal complexity.
3) Third, Ramirez commonly started using longer scale lengths on his guitars in an attempt to increase the volume. Scale length simply refers to the vibrating length of the string. Torres commonly used scale lengths of 640 to 650mm, which have become the standard. Ramirez guitars often had scales of 660, 664, and 668mm.
The physics of string length is fairly simple. A longer string is heavier than a shorter one. It takes greater tension to bring a heavier string up to the same pitch as a shorter string. The greater string tension of a long scale guitar equals more energy to drive the soundboard. If this energy is optimized with the design of the soundboard, it has the potential to make a louder guitar.
Although Jose Ramirez 3rd clearly made some progress in the evolution of the Concert Guitar, none of his developments can really be considered great departures from his predecessors. His addition of the treble bar was still only an improvement within the context of fan bracing; he did not truly invent a new type of bracing.
Also, it could be argued that his use of longer scale lengths was a backward step, if you consider how much more difficult longer scales can be for the player. Longer scale lengths don't always translate into greater volume or projection in practice like they do in theory.
But to give Jose Ramirez 3rd credit, he pioneered the use of western red cedar and made it standard, and his use of the treble bar is still widely used today.
Radial Bracing
I'm not sure who to give credit to as the inventor of radial bracing. I've seen it used on Yamaha guitars from the 1970s. The luthier probably most well known for radial bracing is the late Richard Sneider, who worked in conjunction with Dr. Kasha, an American Physicist during the 1970's and 80's. There are many types of radial bracing. It is not commonly used compared to other bracing styles and I cannot make any generalizations about how radial bracing sounds, but many have used it with success.
This photo shows a simple form of radial bracing, which refers to any bracing pattern where the braces radiate outward from the bridge area.
Lattice Bracing
In the late 1970's, an Australian guitar maker named Greg Smallman came up with the first lattice braced classical guitar. It was truly revolutionary, and his guitars to this day can be found in the hands of many of the worlds finest players. The basic physics behind how the lattice works is very simple:
Since a lattice structure is inherently stiff both with the grain and across it, the soundboard can be made much thinner and still be strong enough to withstand the string tension, thus substantially reducing the total weight of the top. The energy of the strings is more efficiently transmitted into soundboard vibration, the net result being a guitar with greater volume, and faster string response.
Another benefit of Lattice bracing is greater ease of playability and dynamics. By dynamics I mean the ability of the guitar to respond to both aggressive and gentle right hand techniques.
Playability is more than simply a function of adjusting string action at the nut and saddle. Although string height has an effect on playability, how the soundboard responds to every subtle nuance of the strings and hands is probably more important to the musician than action height alone.
Here is an example of a lattice braced soundboard. The braces are made with laminated balsa wood and carbon fibre. The soundboard is spruce.
The picture below shows some of the design features you might find in a lattice braced guitar made in the Smallman style. The sides are laminated, and much effort has been made in the way of bracing and reinforcement to keep the rim and upper bout of the guitar as rigid as possible. The goal is to send all the string energy to the soundboard and minimize "leakage" to other parts of the guitar, like the sides, back, neck, and upper bout of the body.

Criticisms of the Smallman Lattice Guitar
Many players have criticized the Smallman lattice as sounding too bright, nasal, or perhaps "banjoey" in quality. Its increased volume and ease of playability cannot really be challenged, but most players will agree that the tonal quality of the traditional fan braced classical guitar is still superior.
Carbon fibre is stiff, lightweight, and dimensionally stable, making it an excellent structural agent, but the more carbon fibre utilized in the design, the more the tone quality seems to suffer. This has led to refinements in the lattice concept over the past decade or so.
Nowadays there are almost as many ways to make a lattice braced guitar as there are luthiers making them. Some makers have simply combined the lattice soundboard with the traditionally made classical guitar body, using a wood lattice with traditional hide glue. Others see nothing wrong with using carbon fibre and epoxy resin in their constructions. The soundboard can be made very thin like the Smallman model, or thicker if the luthier wants the guitar to have a more traditional sound.
Today, the combinations are practically endless; making generalizations on how lattice guitars sound, as if they were all made the same way, is virtually pointless. You might love one and dislike another, as with any instrument.
This soundboard is lattice braced as well, but the bracing has no carbon fibre, often being referred to as an "all wood" or a "hybrid" lattice.
Double Top Guitars
It should first be understood that a Double Top Guitar does not denote a particular bracing pattern per se. In fact any type of bracing pattern could be used with a double top – fan bracing, lattice, ladder, radial, or whatever. Double topping refers to the way the soundboard itself is treated. The bracing will be glued on after the double top is made.
Gernot Wagner and Mathias Dammann of Germany are credited as the luthiers who first used nomex laminations in classical guitars.
Double tops are made by laminating a material called nomex, between two 'skins' of solid wood, usually spruce or cedar, or a combination of each. Nomex is a paper honeycomb product originally designed for use in the aeronautical industry, although it now has more applications.
This photo shows what Nomex looks like. The luthier laminates (glues) nomex between two skins of wood, using either epoxy of polyurethane glue.
The picture below shows the first layer of wood, or "skin" with the nomex on top. Another layer of wood will be added to the nomex, thus "sandwiching" it between the wood layers. If done correctly, the result is a stiffer, lighter soundboard, although not nearly as thin as a Smallman style lattice top.
As you can see, the history of the classical guitar is one filled with innovation and change. The materials and technologies available to us open up new possibilities. And as musicians put new demands on the classical guitar, luthiers are ready to adapt, always trying to make the ultimate instrument.
The traditional Torres fan braced guitar, including all its variations has been with us over 150 years, and is still going strong. I have every reason to believe that it will continue to prove itself relevant.
The Early Romantic guitar, made by Rene Lacote, although not nearly as popular, has been around even longer, and musicians are still having these early 19th century guitars made or, occasionally restored so that they can play the music of this period on historically correct guitars.
The lattice braced guitar has always been a subject of debate among musicians, yet it has endured for over 30 years. More luthiers are finding ways to refine the lattice braced guitar so that its sound will appeal to more players.
Double top guitars have a shorter history. Although they were first made over 20 years ago, they've only been made in significant numbers in the last 5 or 10 years. I believe that double tops will go through a process of refinement over the coming years in the same way that lattice braced guitars are.
Superlative concert guitars seem to defy categorization, and no one type of guitar continually dominates over another type in the concert hall. I've been to many classical guitar listening events where concert guitars by some of the best luthiers are all played in succession by great players, in a concert hall.
The Guitar Foundation of America and the Guild of American Luthiers Conventions are good places to hear these comparisons.
Out of 30 or 40 guitars there are always half a dozen guitars that stand out from the others. And in that mix of best sounding guitars there are always some traditional fan braced guitars, lattices, and double tops. It's almost as if the best guitars are born, not built.
I hope you enjoyed the article.

Beautiful pictures! Too bad we couldn't make out the name tags. Is the park mostly plumeria or is that just a section of it? It doesn't seem to be very well kept, but the flowers look good. Thanks so much for sharing. Jan |
Nice photos- thanks for sharing. I was there a couple months ago and it was just starting to leaf out. This is such a neat place- it is probably the northern most permanent, public collection of plumeria and exotic fruit in FL if not beyond. Parts of the exotic fruit section looked rough also- not sure if you walked to that part? If I lived slightly closer I would volunteer on occasion. I imagine it is difficult w/o a full time caretaker. Many of these plants can get by on their own at some level, but they still require some amount of care. I hope that all of their visitors leave at least a small donation; this can at least help with fertilizers and other products which are not cheap. |
Plumie_girl, The Plumeria section is on the back side of a pond area that has up to 75 different trees. I just spent 6 hours today cleaning up the pathways, trimming and raking dead leaves. I signed up to be a volunteer. I'm going to need help identifying the different cultivars. I'm going to look into having markers made soon. irun5k, |
That is excellent- I am glad you are able to volunteer! Before everything had leafed out I did notice that some of the trees had metal tags, but even w/o leaves they were hard to get to, way under the canopy. Of course many were missing also. The trees are so close together also, that doesn't really help. Keep us posted on how things are going at the park! |

We upgrade our recommendation on PerkinElmer ( PKI ) to Outperform based on its third quarter results. Earnings per share of 45 cents surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Net income from continuing operations was approximately $29 million in the quarter (or 25 cents per share), up 3.5% year over year. Net income was $29.6 million, down 19.1% on a year-over-year basis. Revenues improved 12.5% year over year to $509.6 million in the reported quarter and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $505 million. Revenues grew 6% year over year on an organic basis after adjustment for acquisitions which contributed 8% to the growth in revenues in the quarter and a 3% drop accounting for negative impact of foreign currency fluctuation. Human Health segment revenues were $257.2 million, up 24.5% (up 10% on an organic basis) year over year. Revenues from the Environmental Health segment amounted to $252.4 million in the quarter, up 2.5% (up 3% on an organic basis). PerkinElmer has established itself as a market leader, particularly in the genetic screening segment, and holds one of top two market share positions in several important subsets of the life sciences technology and genetic screening businesses. The company continues to execute well across its product lines aided by rebounding markets and cost containment efforts. PerkinElmer's transfer of select manufacturing to China has expanded its operating margins. The company has increased its productivity and improved product mix in favor of higher value added products, resulting in higher operating margins. PerkinElmer, however, operates in a highly competitive industry characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards. As a result, the company would have to make large investments in R&D in order to retain a competitive pipeline. PerkinElmer competes with Thermo Fisher Scientific ( TMO ) among others. PerkinElmer's exposure to poor end market visibility might result in a relatively unattractive risk-reward trade-off for the stock. However, the company's operations, both sales and manufacturing, are diversified on a geographic basis. It has emerged as a higher-growth, higher-margin company vis-à-vis its peers. The stock carries a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).

Around the globe a select few sites were granted the opportunity to have a sneak peak at Cooler Master's latest entry into the full tower chassis market. I'm sure between all the news and videos abound, you have a good idea of the basic ideas of what this new chassis has to offer. If this is completely new to you at this point, don't worry; I will cover this chassis just as if it was a full review. Keep in mind; this chassis is a pre-release and there are some changes already in the making for the actual retail product that will fill shelves soon.
Cooler Master has had great success with the HAF series of chassis'. Personally I wasn't a fan of the exterior of the 932, as it reminded me of a gas can they used to strap to the back of a WWII era Jeep. In defense of the case, it still offered plenty of options and a bunch of good air flow. On the flip side, I did have the chance to review the 932's little brother, the 922. In my opinion the 922 had the better looks of the two and it kept most of the same features. Large fans, water cooling potential, tool-less operation are all what made the 932 and 922 a success and those ideas aren't lost here.
With this next evolution of the HAF series, Cooler Master has taken the original HAF 932 and reworked it a bit. They've been listening to the requests for improvement from 932 owners, keeping up with modern technology and all this with keeping all the great features the HAF series is known for. I'm sure I could go on all day about what the HAF-X brings to the table, but let's get right to it and I will just show you. From what I have already seen, I am impressed and I have a feeling by the time you are done reading this, you will be, too!
