Mike, Truly one of the most impressive gardens I have ever seen, public or private, congratulations on accomplishing what we mere mortals aspire to. |
- Posted by brandyblue 7 (My Page) on Tue, May 4, 10 at 23:23
It is truly a wonderful compliment when one thinks your garden photos could not possibly be for real. You have created a beautiful masterpiece that I find inspiring. |
- Posted by jaceysgranny 7aAR (My Page) on Thu, May 6, 10 at 19:09
The first thing I thought was, "that is not real" but I know that those awesome pictures that are for sale have to be painted of somebody's garden so why not yours. It is absolutely gorgeous. God dealt you a fantastic gardening gene! |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z11 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Fri, May 7, 10 at 18:52
Well, I knew it was real before I posted, as I've seen many shots of your garden before, Mike. ALWAYS AWESOME! I sigh every time I see them! What a wonderful place you've made for yourself!! Thanks for sharing it with us! |
Thanks for the compliments. I know this is a cliche, but my garden is truly a ' a labor of love'. When I bought the property I had no idea of the possibilities. I've learned a lot since then. Mike....still learning. :-) |

OMG! Do you have plant/lawn/property caretakers? Just gorgeous! How many hours do you spend taking care of that beautiful landscape? Please post more pictures. I usually go to the Florida forum and just found this one today. Really I just can't get over your images, splendid! |
This why folks move to the PNW, lol. Great slideshow...see so many posts but no photos, nice treat. |

Breathtaking. I would never go anywhere if my garden looked like that. |
Wow, incredible! |
You had help !!! Those horses that use to graze there, gave you some mighty fine soil!! Just kidding you..your view is spectacular!! |

Longboat Key Club and Resort General Manager Michael Welly said that, faced with declining tax revenues, the town of Longboat Key has two choices.
"You can cut back," Welly said. "Or, then, they can look for new revenue sources. I volunteer. I'll be the new revenue source."
Welly gave an opening presentation Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Key Club's Islandside Redevelopment Plan Town Hall. He discussed the specifics of the project, including its impact on traffic, views of nearby condominiums and the local economy.
Following Welly's presentation, Tom Aposporos, president of the Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce, moderated a panel discussion featuring Key supporters of the project.
Panelist Ed Chiles, owner of Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, described the Key Club as a "tremendous engine for our community." Chiles discussed businesses on Longboat Key that have closed in recent years, in part, due to the lack of tourist business. He pointed to the fact that 88% of voters approved a March 2008 referenda allowing for an additional 250 tourism units.
"People in Longboat don't like blight, and that started motivating people," Chiles said.
Carole Nikla, who sold group reservations for 16 years at the former Longboat Key Holiday Inn, said that Longboat Key would benefit from the proposed meeting space, because groups book year-round, often six months to three years in advance.
"The first thing they do when they check in is go to the concierge and find out where to eat and where to shop and where to play golf," Nikla said.
Longboat Key residents Vince De Lisi, Terry Gans and Bill Kary spoke on the panel in favor of the Key Club's plans.
Kary expressed hope that the plans could restore Longboat Key's image to what it was when he first visited the island in the late 1980s.
"Longboat Key had an image that was second to none," he said. "Longboat Key was the place to be, own and buy."

We finally see the end of this very long tunnel which started over a year ago with the initial planning. Demo was end of August. We were scheduled to be done end of October (of course, I knew that wasn't going to happen). Everything is done except UCL and OCL, island pendants, shelves in pantry, paint in closets and mud room, paint touch ups and final coat on the flooring. It was really a main floor remodel but the kitchen was the big thing. As everyone seems to agree, and though some of us (me) don't ask a lot of questions of the board, we do gain much knowledge from all of you; professionals and amateurs alike. So a big THANK YOU to all who unwittingly helped me during my search for information and helped answer questions (both asked and not specifically asked by me) throughout our process. Now here's a little sneak peek: |

Very nice! What's your countertop? |
- Posted by karen.ohio (My Page) on Fri, Nov 22, 13 at 20:31
We started our Reno the end of June and we are winding up, by Thanksgiving, but it will be Christmas before all is moved back into the house. Love the cabinets! Karen |
- Posted by Roberta.Madison (My Page) on Fri, Nov 22, 13 at 20:35
Is that a soapstone countertop? Those cabinets look spiffy! :) What are you planning on for the backsplash, if any? |
- Posted by ck_squared (My Page) on Fri, Nov 22, 13 at 20:58
Thanks, chrissy. The photo does not do the counters justice. They are Fantasy Brown quartzite. karen - I hear ya! I don't expect we'll be completely moved in until Chrismtas either. And I'd love to be able to host one or both families this year. Roberta - The backsplash is in the photo leaning up against the wall. It's a glass tile, all one color, variegated size. |
GORGEOUS!! And a real tease of the very cool looking uppers. Can't wait to see your final reveal, it looks like it will be spectacular. |
- Posted by karen.ohio (My Page) on Fri, Nov 22, 13 at 21:58
Not hosting any family other than those that hang out here everyday anyway! Doing Bob Evans takeout Turkey feast on Thanksgiving. Might do the same or Der Dutchman for Christmas! :-) Karen |
Beautiful cabinets and counters! Can't wait to see the finished kitchen! BTW, what are your pulls? They are just what I am looking for. |
What a teaser photo, but enough to tell it's going to be very beautiful indeed. Congrats on being functional by the holiday. That was my wish but alas not to be. |
Beautiful teaser. Cabs are beautiful |
- Posted by ck_squared (My Page) on Sat, Nov 23, 13 at 8:46
Thanks, everybody! We're really excited about the space. legallin - the pulls are Richelieu 873, 228 mm in Brushed Nickel. |

Don't you hate the anticipation? The gas got plumbed in for my cook top yesterday, but no cook top install. I am beyond sad that I am so close and can't cook this weekend. |
Oh that looks gorgeous! Love the b/s tile. Do you need the phone jack there? It is easy to move some things around before the tile goes in...I wish I had. |
Your cabinets and counters are beautiful! I also like your pulls. Thanks for posting. |
You've given us a couple of other glimpses of those gorgeous walnut cabinets. I can't wait for your reveal! |

I have serious Brown Fantasy envy. At bookclub, the hostess had this quartzite in her kitchen, with white/cream? cabinets. I had never come across the BF, even though I had gone to same granite yard where she found hers a few years prior. IRL, it is so pretty. |
- Posted by ck_squared (My Page) on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 14:44
Bookworm - funny story. We had seen this FB quartzite back in August when we looked at 4 different stone stores in one day. This was at the first place we looked. But I didn't love it so it didn't register with me until a month later when I saw it again at a nearby stone store. Loved it there. Told my GC about it and he told me to go back to the first place (which was also his fabricator, btw). I made the drive (45 min. drive vs. 5 min. to the nearby store), saw the stone and loved it! By choosing that shop, we saved $$. It really does look so much better in person. |
- Posted by bookworm4321 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 6:30
CK I am sure your kitchen will look great. What color is your BS? Hard to tell from the picture. |

.- Two unknown men killed 33 year-old Father Julio Cesar Mendoza, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima, on May 1 in Mexico City.
According to the Mexico City Justice Department, the two men entered the church on the evening of May 1 and tied up Father Mendoza. They beat him and then fired a shot into his head, leaving him wounded in the bathroom before they left.
Paramedics arrived minutes later and found the priest still alive. He was taken to a local hospital where he died the following morning.
Police said an investigation is underway and that a motive has yet to be determined for the crime. They ruled out robbery as no objects of value were missing from the church.
Upon learning of the priest's death, nearby residents of the church gathered outside to demand justice for those responsible.

Agenbroad Veterinary Clinic makes sure pets are in tiptop shape with a variety of medical services. The staff offers spays and neuters, surgeries, and urgent care, along with prevention packages, which include tests and vaccinations. Its team of animal lovers also houses pets at its onsite boarding facility and provides regular bathing and dental cleanings.
Zoom Room's dog-training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when establishing obedience, and it's important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Classes, which are either private or limited to a small group, cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness.
In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room's missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility's selection of organic dog food, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.
Drs. Bridget E. Burdick and Devon Horne understand the vital role a dog or cat can play within a family. It's with this mindset that they––along with the caring staff at German Village Veterinary Hospital––cater to pets with a focus on comfort. To wit, the facility has separate entrances for dogs and cats and tries to keep all pets separated from one another to minimize their stress. In addition to wellness exams, including specific exams for puppies, kittens, and seniors, staffers perform diagnostics and general and orthopedic surgeries.
Sit, Stay N' Play Dog Park was borne from the nervous energy of one golden retriever. His owners saw how anxious their dog became after being cooped up in the house during a rainy spell. To solve their pup's problem, they created an indoor park. There, canines can burn off the energy that would otherwise accumulate and cause them to rebel by chewing up shoes or listening to George Thorogood. The 11,000 square feet of play space is mostly indoors, and pet owners can bring their dogs for play time, or leave them for daycare or an overnight visit where they'll be taken care of by a dog-loving staff.
While pooches are part of the family, unfortunately they can't always go along on the family vacation. My Dog's Spot makes up for what they may miss out on by giving them comfortable quarters to sleep, play, and eat in. They also get to socialize with other four-legged friends, catching up on the latest gossip around the proverbial hydrant. For pups that require only a short stay, half- and full-day doggie daycare are available as well.

2007 Nissan Altima
victrolajazz Posts: 75"I realize the noise issue may seem trivial, but I drive 1500 miles a week for work, and my car has unfortunately become an office."
Not at all--I realize when you pay what we're having to pay for these things, you expect a certain level of refinement. It's possible you may have a leak of some kind--I think Road & Track rated the Altima #2 instead of #1 precisely because it had a wind leak, which is ridiculous for a car like this. Plus they said theirs looked like it had been spray bombed with a depressing primer gray paint job, which is a selective item. -
lili1 Posts: 44Cabin Noise is NOT trivial when you cruise a lot at 70mph or so & not fun sriving racing around on the highway. At a constant hum of some sort, it will never go away as your bedmate's snoring. You are spending about 20% of you awaken life in this cabin.
It is competitive comparison. If I can get less noise with a different make and model for the similar amount of money, I will say, one really need to think hard.
I will say the 2.5 is intolerable on any accleration and it is MUCH WOORSE thatn the Generation 3/previous Altima 2.5.
However, when it is light load cruising at 65-70 mph, both the 2.5 and 3.5 are quite quiet but don't accelerate. -

I think it's axiomatic that the smaller engines are noisier than the larger ones--they're working harder to accomplish the same task. In spite of all the advancements, there's still no substitute for cubic inches. -
marks16 Posts: 1I too find the seat in my 2007 Altima S to be extremely uncomfortable. I drive 100+ miles each day and after 20 minutes, my lower back/rear is numb. After 2 months of adjusting the seat, I've had no luck. I traded in a 2005 Altima S after 40K miles that was much more comfortable. It seems they got rid of the lumbar adjustment in the 2007. I plan to write Nissan about it.
Also, most of my miles are highway, yet I'm getting less MPG than I did in my 2005 Altima S (26 MPG this week). I was expecting much better than that with the CVT transmission.
Other than that, I really do like the car. It's my 3rd one in 3 years. -
ex_tdier Posts: 277Appears Nissan was one of the first to use this device
The Mazda3 from 2004 to mid 2006 has been plagued with the dreaded on/off cycling of the compressor. Until recently, Mazda ended up redesigning the HVAC air flow system (venting) which improved the cooling inside the cabin. They also added auto climate control with inside cabin light and temperature sensors to help out with the cooling.
For those who have models made prior to middle of 2006, we are SOL. -

lili1 Posts: 44It is G3 2.5 engine with G3 insulation against G4 2.5 engine with G4 insulation under some push. That is what bothered me. The engine is almost feels like it is right behind a thin firefall & the G4 sounded louder and liked it is struggling. Now, one light load cruising, they are quiet enough.
altimer Posts: 1Just put a deposit on a black 3.5SE manual here in Canada. Also considered an 07 Legacy GT and the new Silverado 1500. (Completely different cars, I know). What really won me over were the ridiculously strong brakes on the Nissan.
I was able to test drive it without the salesman, so I took it to an empty stretch of country road and did the 0-60-0 test. Oh man, it just about took my face off! I think I may have a mild concussion from the force of braking slamming my brain against the front of my skull. Seriously.
And of course it's hard to beat the price of an SE here in Canada. It was more than $8000 cheaper than the LGT (they just would not budge on the price). The truck would have been about the same and slightly cheaper month-to-month because of GM's low financing rates, but it wouldn't fit in underground parking at work (6'2" clearance :confuse: )
I didn't seriously consider any other cars (or trucks) out there because of either performance or features/price differences.
BTW: manually folding mirrors are standard on the 3.5SE models in Canada (there is no 3.5SL trim, but there is a cheaper 3.5S trim that doesn't have the sport suspension or the TCS). -
victrolajazz Posts: 75For the March issue, Consumer Reports magazine tested five family sedans (Kia Optima, Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6 and Chrysler Sebring), titled it Leaping Ahead, with the sub-title The Redesigned Nissan Altima Accelerates to the Top of Our Ratings. Also, they tested both four cylinder and V-6 versions in this comprehensive test. The four cylinder won almost all the acceleration tests--only beat by .2 of a second by the Saturn Aura 45-65, had the best gas mileage of all. The V-6 won ALL the acceleration tests (0-60 6.4), (45-65 3.9), 1/4 mile 15, and got best mileage of all tested. It begins by saying "The Altima 3.5 SE virtually ties with the Honda Accord V6, our top-rated family sedan. The four-cylinder Altima 2.5S is relatively refined. Both are coupled to a smooth continuously variable transmission, which helps them attain commendable fuel economy." CR continues: "Both engines deliver strong acceleration yet get commendable fuel economy. The 175-HP 2.5-litre four cylinder accelerates better than some V6s and returned 25 MPG overall on regular fuel. Although it requires premium fuel, the smooth and punchy 270-HP 3.5-litre V6 returns 23 MPG (I'm actually hoping for better) overall, comparable to some four-cylinder engines. Both are mated to a smooth CVT. Braking performance is very good. Both halogen and HID low beams perform well but have a sharp cutoff." About the interior it says "The Altima has nicely textured, well-fitting materials. Drivers have plenty of room in the cockpit, even with the optional sunroof. The steering wheel has an awkward telescope adjustment and coarse tilt settings. While rear-visibility is hampered by a high rear deck, the 3.5 SE's optional backup camera works well. The Altima's bright back-lighted gauges are easy to read. The controls are straightforward and the optional navigation system is easy to use." I will have to say, on my first highway trip, I did find the seats harder than usual, as some others have pointed out, but not badly so.

alex34 Posts: 8i have a canadian spec car, so i don't know if it makes a difference, but while the car is moving this is what happens:
navigation entering addresses: no you cannot enter new addresses while moving.
radio-controls: radio controls work on lcd screen. except in CD mode you cannot use the Track function which lets you see all the songs on the CD, but it does work when vehicle is stopped at a stop light.
heating control: i do not have any heating controls on LCD screen
it would be interesting to know of US spec Navi packages have heating controls on LCD screen? -

'07 Altima 2.5SL w/Tech pkg.

- Edmunds.com is telling me 'what others are paying' is $30,335.
I am getting this including TTL at a quote of $30,165
I have not talked down at all. The car isn't due in until the 27th.
Any suggestions, or lessons learned from anyone here? -
pat Posts: 10,421Hi d0min0, welcome to CarSpace! You'll find folks talking about their deals here: Nissan Altima: Prices Paid & Buying Experience. That discussion should be very helpful to you. Good luck - keep us posted!
gasmizr Posts: 40I have a 2007 2.5S 6 speed and the mirrors are fixed. Does anyone know if you can "swap" the mirrors that are on the SL onto the base car? I would like the collapsible mirrors simple because if you get to close to the garage door they will not sheer off but move.
There has also been a lot of discussion about the cabin noise. I find the car very quiet, especially cruising on the highway. I normally cruise between 75-90 going back and forth to work and have no engine noise or wind noise worth talking about.
I drove both the CVT and the 6 Speed. I opted for the 6 Speed because it was quieter on acceleration and cruise, YMMV.
I have had the car for about 3 weeks with about 500 miles on it. Would be more but it has been snowing here so I have not been driving it.
Anyway it is getting combined about 28MPG on the first tank of gas. Since I filled it up I am now averaging about 30MPG combined. My expectation is that it will settle in at around 30-31MPG once it is broken in with a few thousand miles.
The fun factor is very high with the 6 Speed manual and the engine has a nice note to it when accelerating as I shift. :shades: -
gasmizr Posts: 40I would venture to guess it is not by much from driving both. It is easy to "slam" the accelerator down on the CVT and just let the car go; strange sensation the first time you do that and the car does not shift. With the manual it takes an experienced driver to get the most out of the car. In daily commuter driving I do not believe there is a "real" difference in usable straight line acceleration. The cvt also has very sophisticated logic so that it "downshifts" correctly when you need that extra little bit of acceleration.
With the manual you just drop it into a lower gear and you do not have to think about what the cvt may do. Of course you can use the auto manual mode to simulate. I prefer and trust the manual when I need to "shoot the gap" in traffic since I know there will be no lag.
For me it was that the car seemed quieter than the cvt under acceleration and cruise. -
victrolajazz Posts: 75"It is easy to "slam" the accelerator down on the CVT and just let the car go; strange sensation the first time you do that and the car does not shift."
Traditionally I've always preferred manual cars--the one I traded on the Altima was an '04 VW NB GL TDI 5 Spd--but I loved the first CVT I ever drove when looking at a Saturn several years ago. We've gone from two-, three-, four-, five- and now six-speed automatics--STOP! I love the turbine-like smoothness, reminds me of the '50s Buick Dynaflows, except without all the wasted slippage. When you floor it, it is also reminiscent of the variable-pitch stator installed in the Dynaflows from 1955 on and also applied to the Turbo-Hydramatic 400's in '65-'67 Olds/Buicks/Cadillacs. -
jd10013 Posts: 779Just bought mine (2.5sl) about 2 weeks ago, and the cvt has never reved the engine at 6000. even when i stomp the gas from a stand still, it tops at about 5200. In fact, its been my experience that the cvt seems to keep the rpm's down considerably. I can cruise at 70mph at about 200rpm's.
anyways, as for the return trip to the dealership, that not uncommon. even the best, most reliable cars average something like 2.5 trips back to the dealership, and i've had to take every new car i've ever bought back to the dealer at least once in the first year for something.
and don't let the tow truck give you the wrong impression. after having spent 20k+, most people (myself included) will tell the dealer to tow it, rather than driving it back. -
tmc1688 Posts: 28Hi all, I just drove my moms 2000 Maxima GLE I must say I love the acceleration. The acceleration was clean and has no hesitation what so ever when I pressed the accelerator. It felt like the fuel flow was right on tap. I was wondering if the current owners of 2007-2008 V6 CVT Altimas have the same exciting acceleration or if there is a 1 or 2 second delay when the accelerator is pressed.
Thanks for reading -

_wraith_ Posts: 9Last Saturday, I took a few test drives, including an 07 Altima 4-cyl. It must have been an 'S', since it had an auto/CVT w/ a 4-cyl.
I was really impressed with the interior, quiet/smooth ride, comfortable seats (at least from my short test drive). Power seemed reasonable.
What I didn't like was the handling in the snow. It was snowing pretty good, but it wasn't deep at all, and there was plenty of traffic on the roads. It just felt squirmy when accelerating. It felt downright bad. On clean roads, I didn't notice any problem.
I drove a 4-cyl Accord after that, from the same dealership, and it seemed to handle the snow a little better. The salesman said it was due to the wider tires on the Altima. Looking at the specs, the Altima has 215s, while an lx/se/ex Accord has 205s.
Does anyone have experience with the Altima in light-to-moderate snow? Does the V6 with traction and (added) stability control fare any better? -
vikarious Posts: 15This past weekend I drove home from a party in the snow - "blizzard" conditions. On the sides roads there was probably 6" of snow, I had a foot in my driveway (which I got stuck in).
I was actually very very pleased with the way it handled in the snow! I felt secure and didn't feel like there was much sliding/fishtailing. I was being cautious, but even still, I felt like I had good control of the car.
I felt much more secure in this car than I did in my previous car (Ford Focus, for reference) and I don't think I have EVER driven in as much before. -
bostonfan49 Posts: 2Hope there is someone on this board who can help me! If I wants to obtain the highest gas milage possible in an Altima 2.5 what tire/tire size/wheel size would I use. I have long felt that S rated summer tires give the best gas milage.... Also I am not considering most true LLR tires because of the percieved reduced handling/braking. (An exception would be the Michelin MXV4S and its newer replacement)Agin, hope some high gas milage folks can shed some facts on this subject. Thanks, Bill
bostonfan49 Posts: 2Ka-ching$$$$$ I really want to get a '07 Altima but I would appreciate a simple explanation of all these plans. What if any is worth it? Besides oil changes (My current cars)Semi-Syn every 4-5K. What is the suggested maintenance interval per the warranty? I have a 2000 S40 with 142k. It runs great, my only real problem has been with the check engine light...like all Volvos its on more than it off. Volvo offers just one extended warranty plan. Thanks again, Bill

"A positive mindset seems to act like a buffer that can shield optimists from the impact of stress on the mind and body," explains Dr. Ilona Jerabek, president of PsychTests. "This doesn't mean that if you're optimistic, you'll never be sad, stressed or become ill. Your mindset, however, can impact your ability to cope with these issues by shifting your perspective to something more positive, boosting your resilience, and helping you find support. It's not a matter of denying a problem, but rather, accepting that it is there and believing that you will be able to get through it. There is power in belief, and optimists manage to harness this power."
So how does one shift from a negative to positive mindset? Queendom offers some tips:

Ghana encouraged by US president's message to drive their own destiny.
ACCRA, Ghana — Even to untrained ears, its not hard to tell what the talking drums pattering at Kotoko International airport, or the spinning, chanting dervishes on the tarmac, or the local language broadcasts in the capital are saying: The Obamas have left.
Less than 24 hours after the United States' first family seized the rapt attention of Ghana's public, landing in Accra for President Barack Obama's maiden presidential trip to sub-Saharan Africa, they left, wrapping up a visit that analysts say was just long enough for America's first black president to deliver his special brand of inspirational messages to Africa.
Through the magnifying glass coverage of Ghana's local media, the president's visit at times had the look of a family road trip: The family toured a historic slave dungeon, and a maternity ward. Dad stepped aside for bilateral talks and a major speech to Ghana's parliament.
At parliament, in his first significant pronouncement on Africa, the president outlined his aspirations for the continent, but offered few specifics and painted only broad-brush policy, analysts said.
Obama called for widespread reassessment of Africa's governing structures, and for an economic transformation away from single-product economies.
If it was a message of "Change," however, it wasn't exactly a change of message for the president, who stressed before this African audience many of the same themes he introduced during his presidential campaign.
Obama spoke of the power of community service and grassroots organizing, of the importance of mending ethnic and religious differences, of the power of democracy, and the allure of hope.
Most of all, he called for a strengthening of Africa's civil society institutions, and for a 21st century determined not by strong, strident leadership, but by common citizens more like his goatherd turned economist father, or the policewoman and the journalist he commended in his remarks.
"We've learned that it will not be giants like [Kwame] Nkrumah and [Jomo] Kenyatta that will determine Africa's future," the president said, referencing the commanding founding fathers of Ghana and Kenya, respectively. "Instead, it will be you — the men and women in Ghana's parliament — the people you represent. It will be the young people brimming with talent and energy and hope who can claim the future that so many in previous generations never realized."
For many in Accra, the president's words echoed through a generational prism – at moments in the speech the president specifically called on the young to organize, a compelling message in this country where seniority and respect for elders pervade the political culture.
"Obama is 47," said Eric Angel Corbenu, a professional political commentator. "How many 47-years-old Ghanaians would be given the opportunity to reach the high office like Obama in Ghana? Most people of 47 years are still seen as young people, that wisdom only resides in the heads of the aged. And I don't believe in that."
In his speech, Obama noted that "in places like Ghana, young people make up over half the population."
"You have the power to hold your leaders accountable, and to build institutions that serve the people," he added.
"I was looking at that hall on the TV and wondering how many young people were even invited," said Samuel Bartel, a radio host who recently resigned his position. "It's just still the old political establishment, and the old political club who are in the elite. It doesn't reflect that wind of change."

Sky Sports understands Newcastle target Vurnon Anita has informed Ajax he wants to leave the club.
Newcastle have been chasing the Dutch international and have already seen one bid in the region of £5million rejected for his services.
Ajax are reluctant to lose the 23-year-old and are thought to be holding out for a fee of £8million for the midfielder.
Anita is keen to make the move to the Premier League and is hoping Newcastle can strike a deal with Ajax.
Anita is understood to have held talks with Ajax's new sporting director Marc Overmars on Tuesday and has told the club that he wants to move on.
The news is a boost for Newcastle as they look to secure the signing of Anita and they hope his request to leave will speed up his possible arrival on Tyneside.

Most variations of Condescending Christian tend to address the contradictions brought upon in regular everyday conversations between Christians and secularists. While still new, it has garnered a small following on Tumblr via Meme-Spot and various other blogs.
There is a bright future for Condescending Christians. Though youthful in it's Internet legacy, surely there are only more and more to come.

I really liked the locket but I did not care for the engraving. I wish there had been a fancier script. I wish I wouldn't have gotten it engraved.

Come for a visit!
Johnson County Community College is a big place, and it can seem even bigger when you're a prospective student visiting campus for the first time.
But the JCCC student recruitment team is aiming to scale that first impression down to a more hospitable size with a move into the new Welcome Center in room 107 of the Carlsen Center, just steps away from the front doors of the iconic campus building.
The student recruitment team has never had a space of their own on campus, and their previous home on the third floor of the Student Center required visitors to conduct a do-it-yourself campus tour just to find the recruitment office. Now, the office is easily accessible to the hundreds of folks who tour the campus each year.
With a private entrance and parking nearby, the Welcome Center is easy to find. Its high top tables and relaxing chairs help visitors feel right at home and the flexible space can be set up for presentations for groups of 10 to 30 people.
That's important, because lots of groups are expected to make their way through the Welcome Center. Every week, student ambassadors known as the Cav Leaders provide 10 campus tours for visiting students and their families – once every school day morning and once every afternoon. Each tour starts with a 30-minute admission-information session and incorporates a visit with a faculty member if possible.
Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, JCCC hosts high school groups of 10 to 40 students who share a common trait. One time, they might all be sophomores. The next they might be English Language Learners, or students from a federally funded Gear Up program designed to assist economically disadvantaged students achieve a college education.
Such visits include an admissions session, as well as a financial aid presentation and a visit with a faculty member. Again, the Welcome Center is the perfect size for these group visits.
With a student-staffed Welcome Desk in the Carlsen Center lobby, the Welcome Center is the go-to place when casual campus visitors ask for information about admissions and enrollment.
Previously, the Welcome Center was the Virginia Krebs Community Room, a meeting space used by a variety of campus and community groups. Noting that Krebs helped establish JCCC and was the college's first employee, Pete Belk, JCCC's program director of admissions, said, "How better to pay homage to her than to have the space named after her be the first place prospective students see?"
Want to know more about admissions at JCCC? Request a campus tour, or call the Welcome Center at 913-469-8500 ext. 3774.

An event that attracts record numbers of calls to battered women's shelters every year.
In the years since the News story finally hit the streets--the ever insightful Johnson compares its devastating effect to being caught by a TV crew while "you're picking your nose, with your index finger buried in your right nostril all the way to the third knuckle"--domestic violence has been the focus of increased attention from the legal community and media alike. And not surprisingly, it's also attracted the scrutiny of those who would debunk battering's connection to sporting events, citing the lack of hard statistics.
But at Denver's Safehouse for Battered Women, the receptionists will tell you that Mother's Day and Super Bowl Sunday are their busiest days of the year. The new, improved, apologetic Vance Johnson volunteered to speak on behalf of the shelter; Safehouse declined the invitation.
Servicios de la Raza's domestic-violence unit has noticed the same phenomenon--increased calls around football games, soccer matches. "Our crisis line demonstrates that," says Nita Gonzales. "We never came up with a rational reason for it--but then, domestic violence isn't rational."
No matter how sorry the perpetrators may be.
Gonzales has a copy of Johnson's book, but says she can't finish it.
Here's what she's missing: Another apology, and then an appendix that lists The Vance's NFL statistics and his "toys"--most of the cars and boats Johnson's owned, although "I bought so many cars during my career that I simply can't recall all of them." But then, in a recent interview, Johnson couldn't recall the names of two of his children, either.
The Vance is hardly a sell-out. Space at local battered women's shelters, however, remains standing room only.

Date: December 05 2012
GREATER Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy has described Israel Folau as ''one of the most honest people I've dealt with'' and harbours no ill feeling towards the serial code-hopper.
The seven-time premiership winner also speculated Folau had the potential to represent the Wallabies before a possible move back to the NRL as early as 2014.
After two seasons in the AFL, the Kangaroos international turned down overtures from Parramatta to join Super Rugby's NSW Waratahs on a one-year deal. The cut-price contract, reported to be in the vicinity of $250,000, is peanuts compared to the $6 million, four-year deal Folau inked with the Giants.
Folau, 23, asked to be released from the final two years of his deal in November after averaging six disposals and kicking two goals in 13 games. ''I've got no problems with his character, he's always told us the truth and I actually admired him for that,'' Sheedy said. ''They did mention that it could've been rugby, but that was not in my landscape of thinking. Obviously everything was pointing to the Parramatta Eels.
''I've been around the game for 45 years and I think Israel Folau is one of the most the honest people I've dealt with. When he felt AFL wasn't his game in the end, he told us the facts and let us get on with business, which is a fair thing to do.''
Sheedy expected Folau's kicking to be one of his strengths in the 15-a-side game after working heavily on that aspect of the game during his AFL stint. ''His kicking was one of the best parts of his game, and it'll be an acquisition when he goes to rugby,'' Sheedy said.

Smells like teen spirit
Three high school boys gain superpowers then act like high school boys.
I guess they didn't listen to Peter "Spider-Man" Parker's Uncle Ben: "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Chronicle," set in a moody Seattle, takes the typical superhero story, mixes in handheld camera work a la "Blair Witch Project," then throws in teenage fun, angst and eventual drama with decent results.
The unknown actors do a believable enough job with a fine script and inventive special effects made without a huge budget that gives the project an indie look.
Fortunately, though the handheld camera work starts out dizzying, it steadies significantly after 20 minutes. The result is interesting camera angles and settings, including scenes of the teens flying through the air and kicking a football.
In "Chronicle," high school senior Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan) is dealing with a lot: a dying mother, an abusive father and the ire of everyone in school, except for his philosophy-spouting (and cooler) cousin, Matt Garetty (Alex Russell).
Andrew records his life on a video camera, making him an easy target for bullies. He's not a bad kid, but his horrible father is another story.
At a rave, Matt and popular class president Steve Montgomery (Michael B. Jordan), ask Andrew to film a cave they discover. Something in the cave causes the boys to develop telekinetic powers, which brings them together as best friends.
At first, they play with their powers and use them for practical jokes, until the emotional Andrew almost kills someone. They soon discover how to fly and further develop their powers. Andrew becomes as popular as a magician at a school assembly.
The problem is his father abuses him mentally, and the teen begins to act out with his powers, making him dangerous.
It's interesting how the film plays with the superhero genre by featuring everyday teens with everyday problems and issues.
The three young actors have a good rapport with one another and react believably to their new powers.
And the special effects are engrossing. The movie is shot not only with handheld digital cameras but is seen through security and news cameras. The film uses this "documentary" approach and finds sources to suggest a chronicle of events, though I'm not sure this film-about-film approach is necessary in developing a viewer's appreciation of the movie.
"Chronicle" moves quickly and believably enough (even if the last 10 minutes go a little haywire) and should engage viewers who can appreciate teen angst and sci-fi stories that do not rely on special costumes or involve the fate of the world.

Do you need to find a new significant other or a new business partner? You've got to send out the right signals. Your speech, actions, attitude and dress code all play a part.
If you're negative, you'll attract negative people. If you're cool and together, you'll attract like-minded people.
Look at every aspect, however. If you're too upbeat and positive, with an ear for listening to troubles, you can also attract negative people. Your kindness can be your downfall. When you take control of your world, it will force other people to change in how they relate to you. Some tips:
Examine your thoughts. You make goals and manage time based on your thoughts.
Look at speech patterns. Do you always talk troubles? Do you constantly act too flippant? The way you talk sends powerful signals to the world.
Reflect on a daily routine. Are you structured in approaching your day or do you drift and seek to goof off?
We've all heard advice that we should pretend to be the person we desire to become. We have to "fake it until we make it." But you have to take specific actions to set yourself up for success. You will have to make small changes to see what works. We all have friends who are needy and negative, but we don't want to get dragged down by them. It's not fair to us.
We run our lives on the strengths of people around us. Reflecting on our circle of relationships lets us define steps to correct what isn't working.

How often do you water your fig tree while in dormant stage? Mine will be in a cellar with temps in the 50's in a dimly lit area..The basement does get very dry..It is 4 feet high and in a 5 gallon pot..
Do you let the soil fru out for weeks, or water as soon as the mix dries out? Do you water just a little bit, or water until it escapes from the bottom of the pot thoroughly? Thank you much... Mike |

Mike I winterize my Fig Trees in the Garage and I water them very little may be half 8 ounce cup each month. I make sure the temperature in the Garage does go beyond 45. 50 us too high for a dormant tree. The Book says the ideal range is 35-42. With Higher temperature they may sprout you don't want that to happen while dormant. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Oct 17, 10 at 20:02
Hi Foolishpleasure.. If I keep it in complete darkness, would it still sprout at those temps? On one of my threads, someone actually has temps in the 50's like me and they said their trees do well, and then start to get leaves come about Feb.. Thanks.. Mike |
Soil temperature is the driving force behind the onset of spring growth, Mike. Darkness won't affect whether or not the tree grows. Left in the dark at temperatures above 45*, the tree will push etiolated growth until it exhausts it's energy reserves. I water dormant trees with snow, as I keep them in the garage and snow is usually handy. Trees want to be damp, but not wet while resting. Al |

Al, What do we do if we don't get snow?? LOL! Mike, great question, you just beat me to posting. lol. I have a ton of question's for my tree's winter care, are you ready for them? ;) Being in a warmer climate & no snow ;)(please don't hate me. lol) what is the best way to care for and water mine? I won't be moving them to a sheltered area like you guys. They will all be in containers. Right now their still in the 5gal.container they came home in, which i'm not too crazy about. Tags read hardy to 10-0 degree's. We RARELY see much lower than 30 degree's. Are they going to go dormant, or just slow down? Now, I just went blank on my other questions, so i'll get back to them if I remember them. lol.. |

Hi JJ I hate you Friend and I hate all people who live in warm climate and don't get snow. Just trying to be funny. I love you all. May be I can sell you some snow. In your Climate your trees do not need any winterizing just leave them alone. I am not an expert but I do lots of research. From my reading the trees has an accurate clock which measures the length of the day. When the day gets shorter they go dormant. That is why the the growing season in Main is shorter than the growing season in California and Arizona. I am in between the two extremes. Last year we had so much snow in Maryland when I remember it I get chills. That why I get my Figs inside but my Apricots and Blueberry love cold weather. |
Jodi - they will go dormant & remain dormant for a short time before passing unnoticed into quiescence, where they will remain until a few 45* days in a row forces the onset of spring growth. If I was you, I would bury the pots when leaves fall, and leave them in the ground until danger of frost has past. The cool soil will help prevent the onset of growth earlier than you might wish - before danger of freezing is behind you. Also, the 10-0* is really pushing it, even for trees in the ground, but especially so for unprotected trees in containers, not that you need to worry where you are. Al |
- Posted by jojosplants Az Z9 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 18, 10 at 14:24
Foolishpleasure~~ You are funny! lol.. and no, I don't want any snow, that is why I live in Tucson. ;) Actually we get plenty in the mountians, an hours drive, even have ski resorts. :) And thanks for reminding me about the length of day. :) I'm new to trees of all kinds this season! This will be my first winter having them. Hi Al~ But to bury the pots, really isn't an option here. Gravel landscape, plastic underneath, and brick hard dirt to boot, and the best place for these guys, has pipes underground. SMALL YARD !!:( Plan B? :) Do you think Hubby would notice if I got rid of the boat? lol.. Our area is prone to the onset of spring growth early, even for the in ground tree's. We get a warm spell in Feb. and everything goes nuts and starts to grow, then usually one last big frost in March. Is that 45* for the daytime highs? And do I just work to keep them moist? our rains really flip flop in winter. Thanks for all your help! :) |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 18, 10 at 15:55
Wow, this is fantastic..Thank Al for this info..Quite interesting these trees...YOu ahve said some very unique things to help me along with my first try at this.. Foolishpleasure: I am with you on that! we still have till the end of the week before the cold comes at us again...I think though that many in the much warmer climate would kill us for just a steal of some of our cold weather to help their trees...lol Jojo.....I have an idea... Since the snow is only an hours drive up north, you could always drive to the half way point where you know that it gets cold, but not enough to kill your tree, just chill it. Mike |
- Posted by jojosplants Az Z9 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 18, 10 at 21:47
Hello Everyone! Mike, when did you get a fig, and what kind? I have 3 now. Mike, My apricot is confused and bloomed this week. ROFL! Hide my tree's ! LOL!! No, don't think i'll go to that extreme. ;) JoJo |
JJ - Plan 'B' = put them on the north side of your home and make sure they don't go dry over the winter. It won't get cold enough where you are to do them harm. The 45* I referred to was soil temperature. Several consecutive days of soil temps higher than 45* will stimulate your trees to growth. After the onset of growth, most of your trees cold-hardiness, that is, the ability to withstand freezing temps, will be lost, so you'll need to protect them carefully. Al |
- Posted by jojosplants Az. Z9 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 20, 10 at 9:33
Is there a plan C? LOL! O.K... I'll see what we can do to get them in the back yard. We'll have to remove some of the fence to do it though. LOL! I guess it will be interesting to see how they do. My friend Carol was laughing at me about this last night and told me to run out with trays of ice for them several times a day to keep the soil cool to keep them dormant. LOL! JJ |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Oct 20, 10 at 23:28
NOW THERE IS AN INVENTION!! You know how they have HEAT matts? Why not invent COLD matts, one you can wrap around your pots so the southerners can grow any plant they want that requires cold root temps for a period of time?Just plu it in as it cools the container down to almost freeze temps! Hummmm Lol Mike |
- Posted by jojosplants Az Z9 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 23:19
ROFL! You invent one Mike.. I have my hands full these days. lol.. There is someone in the neighborhood with a nice fig in the ground, but it's the tree's first cold season, so courious to see how it goes for it. Take care, |
- Posted by oregonwoodsmoke 5 OR Sunset 1A (My Page) on Fri, Oct 22, 10 at 15:21
I have made cool mats for dogs. It's that water crystal stuff sewn between layers of cotton fabric. Get it wet, and you've got evaporation cooling. It won't take you down to freezing, but it will definitely cool. I've had to take them off my dogs in 100 degree heat because the dogs were getting chilled. Try wrapping the pots with it. Let us know how it works. |

Blech, I am surprised at the good reviews for this recipe. I tried it tonight and thought the vinegar completely overpowered all the other flavors. I'd suggest adding the vinegar 2 T at a time until you get to the amount you want. I am sad I wasted all my delicious fennel on this recipe.
Followed the recipe exactly, and ended up with the best slaw I ever tasted. Served at a cookout and it was a hit. Will definitely make again.
Having made this slaw multiple times I second the previous rater's sentiments - it's a divine take on slaw and a wondeful iteration on a most refreshing vegetable, fennel. I use my Oxo mandoline to slice the vegetables as thin as possible, and the toasted seeds are easily crushed with a mortar and pestle - some irregularity in the spice grind adds a rustic touch to the dish. Omitting the red onions also lightens the salad. Perfect complement to jerk pork tenderloin or other spicy barbecued meats.

"Family-friendly yoga holiday with Bea Fritzsching, Quinta Mimosa, Portugal. I…"
Family-friendly yoga holiday with Bea Fritzsching, Quinta Mimosa, Portugal.
I went on this week-long yoga holiday in Portugal last year, which welcomes families with children of all ages, even babies, and provides babysitting so the parents can do the yoga classes. It's at the Quinta Mimosa retreat centre, which is very beautiful with huge lush grounds, and has several swimming pools, so they have a pool for the kids to splash around in, and one for adults only. You stay in pretty farmhouses - we took an en-suite room. Vegetarian meals are provided, and are delicious, everyone eats around a big table, but there are also self-catering facilities which is handy if you need to do something extra for the kids between meals.
It's run by Bea Fritzsching, a mum and an excellent yoga teacher, who decided to make a yoga holiday where you could bring the kids along. I'm not very experienced at yoga but didn't feel intimidated, even with some very bendy types there - Bea made the classes work for everyone. There's yoga morning and evening and plenty of free time in between when you can go to the beach or on a day trip, or have a massage - and the massages are heavenly! It was a relaxed schedule, but I felt much fitter and healthier by the end of the week.
My 10 year old daughter joined in with some of the classes. When it got too difficult, her and her friend disappeared to the pool! The food was lovely and Wendy the chef always made a special effort to not only please the parents but the kids too. It was a great way to have a break with the family, and I've been recommending it to all my friends with small children. I'm thinking of going again this year, it's the first week of August.Read moreLessMumsnetter rjhh

Hip to be Square: There are those who contend that the word 'transitional' simply evades the central question of whether a design is traditional or modern. High Point helped put that question to rest with a bevy of designs that could be defined as neither. A case in point: the Hickory Chair Furniture Co.'s Mad Men-inspired seating pieces. The company did a masterful job with this essentially transitional look, pairing its angular furniture frames with Hable Construction's new collection of painterly fabrics. The loosely rendered watercolor look of the textiles served as the perfect foil for the sharp, angular profiles.
