Hi all, This house was built in the 1920's and has lots of character. One of my favorite features is the texture of these interior walls. As I look into sprucing the place up a bit, I really want to maintain this old world feel. When drilled into, it flakes apart easily and is kind of powdery. Does anyone know what this stuff is? |

Beaver Board or Building Board was all I remember it being called, 60's or 70's and pretty sure has not been made in many years. |
We used to call it "stucco board" not to be confused with today's stucco board, made from cement. It was used for exterior renos to mimick stucco, but without its durability. |
- Posted by charismagenta64 (My Page) on Sun, May 4, 14 at 2:40
I think it is a plaster It can be applied over concrete or cinder block, brick, stone or wood. It creates a durable, hard surface that conforms to flat or curved walls and ceilings. Plaster can last for hundreds of years, but has one major enemy that will cause plaster walls to become powdery. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Modern House Plans
It looks like beaverboard or blackboard--a fiberboard of wood bits and other scraps. Non hazardous I believe. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 17:22
It is impossible to be sure if this is a poorly textured wall finish or paint on a wood fiber board as others have suggested. You need to do more work to find out if the material is worth saving. I would cover it with 3/8" GWB. |

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs owes Ed Saunders a swift and sincere apology.
The VA has threatened to fine this veteran, who has long served as a leader of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 10. Saunders has spoken up on behalf of fellow veterans, calling attention to the gaps in professional staffing at the expanded VA clinic building that opened in February on Majestic Lane.
His alleged offense?
Being photographed by a Billings Gazette photographer in the lobby of the new VA clinic.
Not coincidentally, the photo that VA objects to was printed with a news story in which Saunders, other U.S. veterans and U.S. Sen. Jon Tester voiced concerns about staff vacancies persisting several months after the clinic opened.
Saunders consented to be photographed by The Gazette in a public lobby area of the clinic. the VA's own rule 38CFR 1.218 (10) states that photos may be taken for news purposes in lobbies, foyers or entrances of the clinic, or any other place on VA that a director may authorize.
Three days after that photo was printed in The Gazette, a VA clinic security officer told Saunders that he was in violation of VA rules that require written authorization from the head of the facility prior to photographs being taken. The officer informed Saunders that a violation of this VA rule could subject Saunders to a $50 fine.
Saunders, who had often photographed public events at VA facilities and had photographed DAV vans at VA facilities, was unaware of any such written permission rule.
He told Gazette reporter Cindy Uken that he felt the threat of fine was intended to intimidate him. This has diminished his confidence in the VA so much that he decided to leave that health care system and get his care at Billings Clinic.
VA leadership should be ashamed to have Saunders leave the VA health system. This incident illustrates the clueless management that has embroiled VA in so much scandal nationwide.
At a time when VA needs to restore all veterans' confidence, instead the administration is harassing a decorated veteran leader and spokesman.
VA ought to be completely focused on service improvement. Instead, Billings sees the agency trying to intimidate a veteran who exercised his First Amendment right to criticize his government.
A disabled veteran of the Persian Gulf War who retired as U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, Saunders was the driving force behind Montana State University Billings students restoring the DAV Flags Over America trailer. He has written multiple letters to The Gazette to recruit volunteer drivers for the DAV veterans' transportation program. For more than two years, he pushed for regular MET bus service to the VA clinic on the far West End, and the city last summer revamped its routes to include the clinic.
Ed Saunders deserves the thanks of his community and respect from the VA. Montana acting Director Johnny Ginnity and public affairs officer Randy Martin should send Saunders apologies immediately.

Symantec backup appliances provide many business value benefits. In my previous blog, Realizing OpEx Savings with Symantec Backup Appliances, five (5) areas of OpEx savings were identified:
- Acquisition
- Installation and integration
- System administration
- Upgrades: software and hardware
- Support/maintenance
And the topic of Acquisition were examined. The next two areas to examine are Installation/Integration and Administration.
The area with the greatest savings is Installation and Integration. Depending on your environment, the amount of time it takes to perform the tasks, and if professional services are used, the savings may run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
An important point to note is the difference between installation and integration. Installation is the initial receipt of the system through physically racking the system and making power and network connections. Installation is often referred to as "rack and stack". Integration is the configuration and optimization, or customization, of the appliance into your environment.
The differences between installation and integration result in distinct services and are often charged separately by the OEM or consultant(s). Too often a project is stalled as there is a misunderstanding of what services were purchased, what is included in the service, or who is responsible for delivering specific tasks. Ask for a description of the services to be performed, or a Statement of Work, to eliminate any confusion.
The savings from installation and integration are from having a single appliance and not having to build it yourself. With a pre-configured, fully integrated, and performance optimized backup appliance, it greatly reduces the amount of work for some tasks or activities, and completely eliminates others.
Installation Tasks |
Backup Appliance Impact |
Coordinate and manage the delivery of multiple components. |
Reduces |
Unboxing the hardware; server, storage, and components (NIC, HBA, memory, etc) |
Reduces |
Installing the hardware components |
Eliminates |
Racking the hardware |
Reduces |
Installing the Operating System |
Eliminates |
Installing the backup software |
Eliminates |
Verifying system readiness (system powers on and storage is viewable) |
Reduces |
Installing network cabling |
Reduces |
Verifying network connectivity |
No change |
Integration Tasks |
Backup Appliance Impact |
Configuring the system for servers; media or master |
Reduces |
Creating and allocating storage |
Reduces |
Testing the system |
Reduces |
Optimizing the system for performance |
Eliminates |
In addition, an appliance greatly reduces risk to a project in the Installation/Integration phase. Risk comes from the amount of variability due to numerous components, issues of compatibility, and working with multiple vendors. Symantec backup appliances provide significant benefits as they are a single, fully configured device which can be unboxed, racked, and running in less than an hour and have proven and known performance out-of-the box.
System Administration
The Operating Expense of System Administration of a build-your-own solution is often the second most expensive area. This is directly tied to supporting multiple and different components independently; server, OS, backup application, and storage.
System administration is the daily or weekly operation of the system.
A simple task such as expanding or allocating additional storage is a couple of mouse clicks on Symantec backup appliance. Compare this to a build-your-own solution which may require three (3) or more user interfaces and multiple steps in each. For example, allocating storage could involve working with separate interfaces for the application, storage, and OS to create and acknowledge additional storage.
Administration Tasks |
Backup Appliance Impact |
Adding servers or clients |
Reduces |
Adding storage – physical |
Reduces |
Adding storage – logical |
Reduces |
Reporting |
Reduces |
Another cost factor for administration is if additional training is required? Having to manage and administer multiple components may require vendor specific product training. Or if additional training is not provided, the tasks themselves may take additional time due to lack of familiarity and having to learn on-the-job.
Symantec backup appliances provide significant administration savings by providing a single and easy-to-use interface for all backup, deduplication, and replication functions.
The next two areas of OpEx savings; Refresh and Support will be covered in Part III – Realizing OpEx Savings with Symantec Backup Appliances.

Christopher's Seafood & Prime Steak House uses only optimum 21-day-aged USDA prime handcut beef, seafood that's flown in daily from around the world, and locally sourced produce to engineer upscale and elegant eats. The dinner menu bursts at the seams with hearty hand-cuts of meat, such as the 16-ounce New York strip ($43) or the "kings crown," boasting an 8-ounce filet mignon topped with a quarter-pound of king crab ($43). Seafood seekers can drop culinary cargo nets into stomach shipholds with oceanic options including spicy plum-glazed sockeye salmon ($25) and fresh ahi tuna ($28). Other Neptunian nourishment includes the "by sea" tasting plate, a Davy Jones' high-school locker-full of calamari, coconut shrimp, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and lobster corn-dogs ($16). Midday meal-seekers can peruse Christopher's lunchtime menu, featuring creamy New England clam chowder ($5–$8) and a spicy blue cheese burger ($9).
At Dry Creek Steakhouse, beef is king, and that king's name is Angus. Working with certified Angus steaks, chefs introduce filet mignon, new york strip, and choice sirloin to the waiting flames of their grill. These cooked-to-order cuts form the backbone of the menu, but they're not the only delicious preparations that await diners. Rich pastas, inventive chicken dishes, and seafood including Atlantic salmon and Maine lobster occupy their own indulgent corners of the expansive menu.
Carvers Steaks and Seafood flavors its eponymous catches and chops with sauces spiced with whiskey and peppercorn, or butters churned with garlic, Pernod, or Cajun spices. These and other seasonings top generously portioned Carvers Cuts of filet mignon, prime rib, and other meats, as well as halibut fillets and lobster tails caught off the coast of Maine. The dinner menu also includes vegetarian dishes, such as a pear and feta garden salad, as well as raspberry-vanilla bread pudding for dessert.
Jars of Korean kimchi and delicate spheres of salmon roe dot Dahn Sushi's kitchen, adding artful flourishes to a menu of classic Japanese cuisine. Sushi, the restaurant's specialty, ranges from dainty duos of eel nigiri to hand rolls packed with tuna, octopus, or red snapper. Diners can belly up to the sushi bar and take notes as they watch the chefs chop, slice, and roll their creations into vibrant spreads, some of which look like friendly caterpillars. In addition to serving small groups within the scarlet dining room, Dahn's staff delivers giant platters of sushi to parties, meetings, and mermaids' swim meets.
The Brazilian tradition of grilling is called churroasco (and it is pronounced shoe-HAS-ko). The tradition of churroasco has been practiced in Latin America for a long time. Since about the 1950's it's been here too. Tucanos brings that tradition to Salt Lake City with flair! Customers can be active in their dining by choosing the cuts of meat that they like best and, instead of struggling to get the attention of the server (we've all had to do it at busy, great restaurants) Tucanos uses a 'Tucanos cue'. The idea, which is kid of ingenious, is for customers to turn their cue red side up to get their server's attention and black side up to let them know that everything is just fine. And here, with grilled options like lobster, bacon wrapped filet mignon and beef, patrons can always find something good! There are some delicious authentic Brazilian appetizers too and for more authentic options from Brazil, customers can have a Brazilian Lemonade. There's also the 'Rio de Janeiro' drink…or is it a dessert? Passion fruit, lemon-line and ice cream make this drink a great addition to your evening. At prices you can afford and an ambiance that you can't miss, Tucanos Brazilian Grill is worth a night out!

Face-Off! The NHL puck drops

On October 6, Winnipeg played host to a massive party not only to welcome back the National Hockey League for another season, but also to welcome back their Winnipeg Jets. NHL Face-Off kicked off with a bang at The Forks near downtown Winnipeg with thousands of people gathering hours prior to the start. Parents were taking their kids out of school early to steak out a spot close to the main stage. Many trivia games and contests filled the commercial breaks between the Habs and Leafs game, which was shown on several big screens. A few bands came on to entertain the massive crowd. Three Days Grace, Winnipeg's Inward Eye, and Bachman Turner played individual sets. In ...

Or more properly known as Mertensia virginica? Wondering if anyone can give me the low down on it? (Ease of care, speed of growth, does it tend to become a "thug", persistence of foliage into the summer ...) Thinking of trying it if I can find seeds cheap. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I grow it in the shade/woodland garden beds under a red oak. I like it for the spring bloom in blue. It does seed and spread from the roots but it's been in this area for at least 10 years and has not spread to other areas. It does go dormant after it blooms so it needs to be paired with things that cover its absence :-) Here, it grows with a big blue hosta, large Solomon's Seal, and white corydalis groundcover. When the bluebells go dormant, you really don't notice! I was looking through my pictures trying to find one showing the bluebells - but I can't find one! In this picture, they are under/behind the big hosta and Solomon's Seal behind the white corydalis, as the path emerges along the lawn. At least you can see that there isn't much need to worry about them going dormant if they have good companions.... |

Hardy and long lived here. Have not found them seed in our garden, but have spread them around by breaking up a root tuber. Like the fact that they're ephemeral, since they're gone by the time our summer and fall perennials are up and blooming. Picture was rejected (file too large). |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a N CT (My Page) on Thu, May 8, 14 at 18:12
Sorry I don't have a picture of the whole plant but here's a close-up. I haven't had spreading or self-seeding issues. This one is growing quite close to astilbe, toad lily & hosta in my full shade bed. It disappears after blooming but comes back reliably every year & requires zero maintenance. |
You simply can not go wrong with this plant. One of the true gems of spring. Mine do seed around a lot, but only in places they really like. There the seedling are thick as hair, but are also very fragile and easily eliminated if you want to do that. Kevin |
Mine are in full bloom right now. These are gorgeous spring ephemerals! I love the pink-blue coloration of the flowers. I've got a half dozen or so plants now. I originally received one in a swap, the rest were winter-sown. They were not abundant germinators for me, but I got a couple sprouts each year. Requires some patience as they take at least 3 years to bloom from seed. |

Tennessee wholesale (931-473-7811) you can order 100 firstname.lastname@example.com for $40. I have had them for years and they do reseed about and are gone by summer>>>you can also cut foliage back and it does NOT effect their next year's bloom Hard to transplant...VERY deep roots |
This post was edited by shadeyplace on Fri, May 9, 14 at 7:57
Mertensia virginica is also a particular favorite of mine. It is an elegant, no-fuss spring ephemeral that is one of the highlights of spring. I have not found it to be invasive at all; most multiplication is due to continued growth of the woody tubers below ground which makes for clumps that slowly get larger. If anything, I wish it would spread around more! Do be aware that the leaves and stems are fairly brittle and might not hold up well to areas heavily trafficked by children or dogs. Otherwise it is practically perfect in every way! |
Hmm, looks like I will have to keep my eyes open for them then. Kevin, if you get a surplus of seeds, you'll know where to send some them! |
Paul, If you can, I strongly recommend obtaining some tubers to get a start of this plant. Mertensia virginica seeds rapidly lose viability if they are dried and stored. They need to be sown immediately once ripe. Even seeds from companies that specialize in native seeds will have minimal or no viability in my experience. If you shop around, you can get some great deals on tubers. Arrowhead Alpines in Michigan is a good source for bare root, bulk tubers and the price includes shipping and handling. It is too late to order them bare root for spring, but you can order for fall delivery. Otherwise, I have seen Heritage Flower Farms in Wisconsin list them as small potted plants on their specials page, three for around $10, not including shipping and handling. Both sources are excellent, and I have used and highly recommend both. One source to avoid is Bluff View Nursery. They sell the tubers very cheaply but seem to be highly unreliable per online reviews. |
Mmmm, I sowed seeds of these last autumn - out of a dozen, around 4 germinated and are just beginning to diminish, still in 9cm pots in my greenhouse. I am thinking I will bite the bullet and buy a plant, saving my own seeds because I want to build up a colony to flower with English bluebells. Should I transplant the little seedlings this autumn? I am amazed that they are so little known in the UK (I will have to buy mail order from a specialist nursery) |
Camp I transplanted the seedlings in late spring when they were wee ones, before they went dormant and disappeared because then I would have to hold the pot over the winter. I marked the spots with plant tags so I would know where the babies were planted. There are a couple small plants out there now that were sown from last year, the leaves are only a few inches tall so it's a slow grower. Here's a bloom from 2012 - |
campanula - The seeds on my plants are ripe by late spring - early summer when the foliage is dying back, so I would assume that is the time they should be sown. Nothing germinates until the following spring. I've transplanted seedlings in the spring when they develop their first set of true leaves and most have lived. I would say maybe 3 years to flowering?? Kevin |
Thanks for the advice, Ispahan! I'll have to check them out. |
Rightyo - I will get the tiny plants in the ground - always the safest option (rather than being left to my tender mercies over winter....in pots). One last thing - because I am still establishing rides and clearings, most planting has been around the edges or usually, near the bases of the trees - how are mertensia in dry(ish) soil between tree rots. Wood anemones have established well so there is some moisture? |
I'm not sure about that. I've never tried planting them amongst tree roots, but from everything I've read they need deepish, rich, moist ,woodland type soil. My concern (depending on what kind of trees you're talking about) is they might offer too much completion for moisture. My woodland area doesn't receive any supplemental water during summer, but the soil is very organic and there aren't any surface tree roots. The favorite place for seedling to germinate is always amongst the rotting logs and branches. Kevin |
FWIW, Mine are planted at the base of oak trees. They grow and multiply, but slowly. I'm not sure I would call them "flourishing", but having never planted them elsewhere, or, for that matter, having never even seen them in anyone else's garden, I don't know how to compare mine to others planted in different situations. Just this year I noticed about half a dozen new plants, a bit farther away from the originals, and they too have seeded - and are growing - under other oak trees. I do believe oaks are easier to plant under than other trees, so I don't know if that should be taken into account. Dee |
Mine are planted under a Linden tree (Tilia americana) which do not have particularly aggressive roots. They are on a slope so it is fairly dry (I have well-drained sandy loam). There are other woodland plants in the area. They seem to be doing okay. Here's a couple pics I took today. These are fairly mature plants started from seed, 2nd or maybe 3rd year blooming, which means they are probably 5 years old - Here's a couple 2nd year youngsters - |

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Bernard Ebbers is out as CEO of WorldCom Inc., as questions about $366 million in his personal loans from the company, a federal probe of its accounting practices and concerns about its finances apparently forced out the man who turned a small Mississippi long-distance company into one of the world's biggest telecom providers.
WorldCom said Tuesday that Vice Chairman John Sidgmore will succeed Ebbers. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news, said Ebbers first made the offer to resign Friday under pressure from the company's independent directors. However, WorldCom made no mention of this in its brief statement.
Most of that drop occurred since an April 19 revenue and earnings warning prompted widespread downgrades by analysts and by rating agency Standard & Poor's, which put WorldCom's long-term debt just above the lowest investment grade, only two steps above so-called "junk" status.
That news followed a March 11 statement from WorldCom that it faced an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission about its accounting practices as well as loans to officers. The largest of those was $366 million in loans to Ebbers at interest rates between 2.2 and 7 percent.
The company stepped in to make the loan after a drop in the value of Ebbers' WorldCom stock that had been used as collateral on a separate line of credit. The company's latest proxy puts Ebbers' holdings at 26.9 million shares of WorldCom stock and 697,528 shares of the tracking stock for MCI (MCIT: up $0.22 to $3.66, Research, Estimates). Those holdings are worth about $68 million based on Tuesday's trading prices.
Sidgmore repeatedly told analysts that the company is not at any risk of filing for bankruptcy protection despite about $29.3 billion in debt on its latest balance sheet.
"We don't believe that in any way, under any scenario, will we run out of cash in the foreseeable future," he said. "We are cash flow positive. This is a real business. We have a lot more confidence in the business than I guess anybody else does."
Sidgmore tried to characterize the company's problems as more perception than reality in a conference call he held with analysts Tuesday.
"I'm not here today to say I'm going to single-handedly turn things around and that Bernie made all these mistakes," he said. "What I'll say is the Street and the media have a more negative impression of the company financially than we should have."
He did say he and the new management team at WorldCom would do an intensive review of the company's assets to decide which are non-core, slower growth assets that could be sold. He and Chief Financial Officer Scott Sullivan, who was promoted to executive vice president Tuesday, insisted there are more than $1 billion in assets that could be sold to help reduce the company's debt levels.
"We're going to get full value. We're not going to fire sale anything," said Sidgmore.
Sidgmore also said the company would work with lenders and bond holders to remove so-called triggers that would force immediate payment of the debt should the company's debt rating continue to fall and reach non-investment or "junk" status. Such triggers helped bring about the bankruptcy filing of Enron Corp. late last year.
But Sidgmore said that is more a result of the management trying to be proactive rather than due to any imminent threat of a drop to junk status. However S&P has kept WorldCom's long-term debt on CreditWatch, meaning it is possible there could be a further downgrade.
Ebbers got into the long-distance telephone business in 1983 with a Jackson, Miss., company known as LDDS. He grew the company through a series of acquisitions and changed its name to WorldCom in 1995. In 1998, he bought MCI, the nation's No. 2 long-distance provider behind AT&T Corp. (T: Research, Estimates), for $37 billion.
Three years ago, the company was seen as a power in the industry, using its lofty stock value to beat other suitors for an agreement to buy competitor Sprint Corp. (FON: Research, Estimates) for $129 billion, a deal that would have ranked as the largest corporate merger in history at the time. But regulators blocked the deal and a softening market for telecom services weakened the company's performance.
Even a restructuring that split its higher-growth commercial, Internet and data business from its MCI consumer long-distance offering has not helped support its stock.
Sidgmore has been vice chairman of WorldCom since 1996, having served as its chief operations officer from December 1996 to September 1998. In the past, he headed the company's Internet unit, UUNET Technologies Inc., which among other things provides the communications backbone used by many Internet service providers.
Sidgmore's comments to analysts did not discuss the circumstances of Ebbers' departure, but his comment to the Journal suggested that Ebbers was forced out due to recent problems.
"It's fair to say that some of the directors were increasingly concerned in the last couple of weeks and Bernie was increasingly frustrated," Sidgmore was quoted by the Journal. "It's no secret that there has been a lot of pressure on the company for the past year."
Analysts were mixed about the executive move by WorldCom Tuesday. Bear Stearns analyst Robert Fagin reaffirmed his "buy" rating on the stock Tuesday, telling clients that Sidgmore is "a known entity to the Street." But Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein analyst Bruce Roberts became the latest to downgrade the stock, moving his recommendation to "sell" from "hold," and cutting his price target for the stock to $1 from $5.
"With $25 billion in debt, a slow economy, a declining long-distance industry, an ongoing SEC investigation, a high multiple to sales and a new CEO, the risks of owning WCOM shares far outweigh the possible upside," he wrote to clients.

The Breeders' Last Splash 20th Anniversary Tour Brought the '90s Back at Grand Central Miami
Photo by Alex Broadwell Check out Crossfade's full 34-photo slideshow of the Breeders at Grand Central.
The Breeders
With Beach Day
Grand Central Miami
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Break out your jelly shoes, your well-worn flannel, your youthful discontent -- the '90s are back.
It's not just some fashionable truth. The classic music of the '90s is still relevant. And that's cause for celebration. Some of the most influential albums of the era are nearing drinking age, including the Breeders' breakout, surprise smash, Last Splash.
In celebration of the record's 20th anniversary, the band got together at Grand Central to recreate the whole sonic experience as authentically as possible -- down to the same damn wind chimes used in the recording studio -- and played the whole album from beginning to end.

The dream of the '90s isn't only alive in Portland. Miami came out to represent hard, some fans even bringing their original record pressings to be signed by Kim Deal and the gang. The lineup today is the same group of lovely ladies (and one lad) who put the album together in '93, originally touring in support of Nirvana on the In Utero tour.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
They hit the stage rather promptly at 10 p.m., their crunching guitars still in need of a bit of tuning. The drinkers and smokers milling around the porch sprang to attention and pushed through the heavy doors to fill the floor.
They started their set with "an oldie but goodie," a song that wasn't from the Last Splash, "When I Was a Painter" from the POD EP. Then after a couple last minute tunings and some passive-aggressive banter, they got right into it.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
They ripped through the whole record, as promised and it was just as magical as one might expect. Of course, the fans went crazy for the big hits, but they sang along mostly to everything. Between songs, the band would tell stories from back in the day, tease each other, tease the venue crew, apologize for not having the original mini-Moog from '93, though they did dig up the old, aforementioned wind chimes. We're hoping they didn't wear the same underwear.
Photo by Alex Broadwell
Not everything was the same, of course. The alt queens and king have aged, though their love for the music is undiminished. They seemed rather invigorated, even if they weren't all that animated on stage.
But then, you have to figure, '90s bands were kind of listless and absent in the first place. That's part of the charm, man.

Just a little bit of hope for those who are in my situation...
At 6 weeks with my first pregnancy, I started bleeding, and it was bright red and there was lots of it. My family tends to have a lot of miscarriages, so I was absolutely sure that was what was happening. I went in for an ultrasound and I remember how serious and quiet the tech got when he saw the monitor. He immediately sent me upstairs to talk to my doctor. I had a large hematoma and my doctor tried to politely tell me to prepare to lose the baby, telling me when to come in to the hospital and where I could get some comfort and help. I went home, positive that the pregnancy wouldn't last.
Somehow, day after day, I stayed pregnant. I kept bleeding and there was a lot of it and it was always bright red. My appointments kept going well and the baby kept growing, which surprised my doctor. The bleeding stopped at 17 weeks, about the same time that my nausea stopped. The SCH had thinned and shrunk.
I delivered a healthy and perfect baby girl at 39 weeks, 5 days. I did nothing different during my pregnancy--light exercise, I kept working and going to school. Sometimes the result is not in our hands, which is frustrating, but I just want to give hope that this situation can turn out well. My sympathies to those who haven't had a good outcome.

Model turned actor Hrishant Goswami is ready to bid goodbye to television, it seems.
While participating at the recently concluded mens week in the capital, Hrishant told us, ''I'm done with television and am now solely focusing on Bollywood. TV is a great medium and frankly, Bigg Boss was a great thing that happened to me, and I don't regret any bit of it. After that, I also got the chance to veejay, and that too is a great experience, but after this, it is destination Bollywood.''
However, he will continue modelling till he can, says Hrishant, adding, ''This is great, and I will keep doing this. Modeling has given me a good perspective about life and competition. Cracking Bollywood is tough, especially for an outsider, while people in modeling are far more accepting.''

Cryptic Launcher Autoupdate Problem

Methos, I think you just hit that lucky moment where the launcher comes up thing because I tried the XP compatibility thing last night and got the same old trying to update launcher business. Seems everyone is giving up here and I don't blame them in a way but we should redouble our efforts and start messaging branflakes and other PWE staff until either they ban us or listen. What's thereto lose at this point? We have no game to play.
EDIT: Got this from Support, LMAO:
Hello again,
Thank you very much for your patience in regards to this issue.
Please go to:
to manually download the launcher.
Please be sure to put the file into your Cryptic Launcher folder; which is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Cryptic Studios; overwriting the existing file of the same name that is in there. This will be the same folder that also has CrypticError.exe.
Please edit this ticket if you continue having difficulties.
The version numbers of this launcher versus the other are different and my install folder is Public/Games/Cryptic Studios
Still doesnt work anyway, I got excited for a moment and thought this might be a manual launcher, oh well.

Feed the birds this winter with some nutritious fat cakes – they need a bit of help, as food is scarce and it is a bit chilly! These fat cakes are quick and easy to make and you don't need special bird food – kitchen scraps are fine.
We used some (slightly past their best before date) oats, raisins and seeds (pumpkin, sunflower and linseeds), some grated cheese and some peanuts from the pet shop. The RSPB has some information on their website about which household scraps are good for birds.
Yoghurt pots are great for making these fat cakes but any kind of plastic cup will do. We made a hole in the bottom of each pot using a sharp pencil and a blob of blu-tac, then threaded the hole with string. Knots on both sides of the hole secured the string, and I tied some extra knots along the length inside the pot so the fat cakes wouldn't slide straight off when they were hanging up.
The children chose what they wanted to put in their bowls and had to work out if they needed to leave some of each item for the other one, or whether they could use up what was there. This was great for developing language and negotiating skills! I put a block of lard in a pan over a low heat to melt and the children mixed all their dry ingredients together.
Once the lard was melted and had cooled a little I poured some into each of their bowls for them to mix into the dry ingredients. You need just enough lard to thoroughly coat everything. The children piled their mixtures into the pots and we put them in a cold place to set. I wouldn't suggest putting them in the fridge unwrapped as the lard is pretty smelly – we put them in the garage. If you have a lot of fat cakes you could freeze some to keep the birds supplied for a few weeks!
We hung our fat cakes from the fence posts in the garden. We don't have any trees yet but if you do that would be an ideal spot.
I would love to know how you get on with these fat cakes. Unfortunately we haven't had a single solitary bird visit ours, despite our next door neighbour's bird feeder being regularly alive with blue tits, goldfinches and great tits ( to name but a few – they've even been visited by a sparrow hawk!) I think I've worked out why though – she may be ageing, but she's still pretty quick and those birds aren't silly!

Test purchase of the DX has inspired me to the next.
I tried my friends cigarettes more expensive - did not see the difference. Why pay more for the same pleasure :)
It is not found.
Be careful when ordering replacement filters. The diameter of 9 mm!! First time buying replacement filters, I was wrong.
Battery weak ... But it is better to buy 3 of cigarettes (discount) than the expensive one. By the same capacity battery you will have to reserve three charge and 3 evaporator.

Split working each body part once per week spread out between 3-4 days works best for me.

I do cardio on lifting days also sometimes. Volume is low, 10-12 sets usually.
I would post the routine(s) you had in mind and ask for feedback. It helps alot, I know every routine I have made on my own without help has sucked horribly lol. I had tons of help making my routine from a more experienced lifter, and that is why it works I think.
right now i am doing a 3 day split and usually my muscles get hit 2x a week. I had tried upper/lower split, but didn't like having squat and deadlift back to back.
I tried it yesterday(upper only) and by the time I finished my chest and back and got to my shoulders I was using half the weight I usually use and it just felt awkward. So basically everything was fried and it was pointless for me to be in the gym any longer. Different strokes for different folks :)Quote:

Another Supreme Court ruling was something of a draw for unions. A group of home healthcare workers in Illinois argued they shouldn't have to pay a cost sharing fee if they aren't a member of the union, and the court agreed. But Unions dodged a bullet.

A union in St. Pete is trying to get the city to pay its workers at least $15 an hour. That would affect more than 300 city employees – some of whom make only about $9. Brian Brehm is a mechanic at one of the city's sewage treatment plants.
"What about these poor guys who are out working in the sun all day long keeping our city beautiful and they're living below the poverty level making $9.50 an hour, maybe a little bit more, really isn't anything to live on."

The rally is part of a worldwide worker's strike that spans more than 150 cities on 6 continents.

I am haunted. I am haunted by my ancestors. I am haunted by a paternal grandfather who was brought to the United States in the twenties to work on the railroads. And I am haunted too by the knowledge that in 1929, when my Nebraska-born mother was two years old, my grandparents and their two U.S.-born infant children were deported in a cattle car along with other Mexicans who were no longer welcome to work here after the Crash.
Those ghost stories rose up one morning as I gazed out my kitchen window at the Franklin Mountains in southern New Mexico. The other side of that mountain range is Mexican territory. It was January, winter in the desert, and had rained quite a bit the night before. The treacherous peaks were draped with mist. As I looked out at that surreal vision, a ghost spoke to me. It said, "Someone is on the other side even now, trying to get across. He is hungry, cold, and afraid. His family is waiting for him on this side. They are worried to death."
"Who are you?" I asked, sipping my morning espresso, staring at the fog on the horizon. Behind the gray were the mountains, the desert, and someone's beloved trying to cross.
"I am his sister," the ghost said, "waiting."
With that, I went to my desk and began to write. It might have started as an essay or a poem–the muse comes in many guises. But what I ended up writing that day was a short story. When I was done, I had some idea of who the ghost was, but I wondered whether my story told all she wanted to say. What if what I had was only a beginning? Where would I go from there?
A common question asked of novelists is: How much of your book is autobiographical? The answer is almost always the same: all of it, and none.
My current book is "culturally" autobiographical in that it is based on my background–the life of an ethnically and economically marginalized American. The "all of it" comes from my extended family, which went from harvest to harvest doing migrant work when I was a child. The memories rush back when I see laborers toiling in cotton, alfalfa, chili, and onion fields near my desert home today.
What is pure invention in regards to my life (and I am sure all my relatives, both alive and dead, will be happy that I clarify this) is the material pertaining to drug cartels, meth houses, and seedy gangs that prey on the undocumented and disenfranchised.
For me to have announced as a girl that I wanted to be a writer would have been as absurd as to have announced that I wanted to be a professional ice skater (or a professional, period). Such choices were not meant for girls like me. I put myself through college. My academic training was in the social sciences. Teaching was an attractive option. And yet, all the while, over the last thirty years, I've also been writing. One reason I wrote poetry and fiction was to fill a void. Despite the fact that the dangling participle was and remains the bane of my existence, I forged on, determined, even anxious to tell stories I was unable to find in print. For a long time, because I was so obsessed, I saw my writing not so much as a career choice as a calling. I have somehow managed simultaneously to stay in and move on from the world I write about. And, in the process, I have tried to stay true to my characters' idiosyncratic syntax.
Curiously enough, it is often assumed that because of my humble Mexican-American background, I can't have a real command of English or Spanish. But the English and Spanish in my books–and what may sound like a mishmash of both–are spoken by millions. When I stand before English-speaking "authorities," they think, "Ah, she probably speaks fair enough Spanish, but poor English." Spanish-speaking authorities think, "Ah, she probably speaks fair enough English, but poor Spanish." It's not writing perfect English that worries me; it's getting the perfect pitch of the oral storyteller.
If I were going to credit one individual as my main literary influence, it would be my father. My father didn't write. He talked. How he loved to talk! Trying to imitate the ease and confidence of his speech, as he told the same stories over and again to anyone who'd listen or pretend to listen (oh, hell, you could leave the room and he'd go on talking), is how I've come to my writing.
But it's a challenge to go from an oral tradition to the page, and a challenge to stay true to the hearts of those who are powerless to speak for themselves. It would be presumptuous, even arrogant, to say that I give voice to the otherwise silenced. What would they say if they thought they'd be heard? And would they really trust anyone with the authority to let them say it? Honestly, I don't know the answers to these questions. I can only hope that I can summon the very real voices of the people I grew up with. Education may well have taken me away from the fields and factories, but it cannot erase personal history or collective memory.
But, lest you misunderstand, I don't believe it is the mission of the novelist to be political. (To achieve that end, I go to poetry and essays.) In fiction, we have to let our ghosts speak. The story I started that morning by merely listening has become a book. It is the way all my novels begin.

Community involvement has helped ease timber sales.
Byline: The Register-GuardWhen the U.S. Forest Service's Cottage Grove Ranger District proposed to log 15 million board feet in a 1,200-acre area on the Umpqua National Forest this year, a funny thing happened.
Nobody protested. Nobody appealed.
Umpqua foresters are in the process of marking the boundaries of the Curran Junetta timber sale and anticipate offering it this winter or early spring, said Deborah Schmidt, Cottage Grove district ranger.
A field trip in January - a tour of the area that drew community members, environmentalists and a representative from the timber industry - may be the reason for a less contentious process.
The field trip allowed people a first-hand look at what the Forest Service planned: a commercial thinning project in a stand of 50- to 60-year-old trees. Thinning in a crowded single-age plantation creates healthier growing conditions for the trees that remain, Schmidt said.
Community members expressed their concern about the potential impact of another logging road in what also happened to be their municipal watershed, so Forest Service planners developed an alternative that would use existing roads, Schmidt said.
"We end up with a better decision when we do involve those interested parties," she said.
These "kicking dirt in the field" outings do help avoid conflicts, said Josh Laughlin, conservation director at Cascadia Wildlands Project.
It gives his organization the opportunity to emphasize thinning projects with the people making the decisions about where and what to cut.
"One of our bottom lines is to permanently protect older forests in the region," he said.
But timber industry activists don't see the consultations as a big deal. The National Environmental Protection Act requires a public comment process, said Jacob Groves, a biologist who works for the American Forest Resources Council. Groves walks all the proposed sales and would do it whether environmentalists were there or not, he said.
"It's maybe a different way of getting public involvement. Whether or not that will lead to less litigation, who knows?" he said.
When it comes to less litigation, old growth advocates point to the Siuslaw National Forest in the Coast Range, where a citizen advisory panel has had an impact. It's been years since a Siuslaw logging sale has been appealed, Laughlin said.
But the lack of conflict on the Siuslaw may have as much to do with nature as with community cooperation, said Siuslaw spokeswoman Joni Quarnstrom.
Because the Coast Range gets so much rain the trees there grow bigger faster than anywhere else in Oregon.
The Northwest Forest Plan set aside 85 percent of the Siuslaw for owls, but most of the forest had been harvested in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, she said. Because regrowth has been so fast, those trees are sufficiently big for thinning now, Quarnstrom said.
"Our thinning program is what has kept things less controversial for us," she said.
"And because we've built that trust, we've just been able to have a lot of creativity on this forest and we're not bound up in litigation."

I am a very tall man (610").
I was once on a flight from Auckland, New Zealand to a small town way down on the extreme souther tip of the South Island called Invercargill.
The plane I was flying in was very old propellar driven thing, I think it was a C47 Goonie Bird.
The toilet was certainly not designed for a guy my size because the bowl was against the far wall, but the ceiling curved backwards. I found myself leaning way back like I was doing the limbo and trying to urinate at the same time.
Being a propellar driven plane, we hit a bit of turbulance. Because I was leaning backwards so much, put my left hand behind me to brace myself against the door and continued to urinate.
My left hand accidentally hit the door latch and I fell backwards into the aisle and every passenger turned around to see me laying in the aisle with my penis in my hand and I could not stop urinating for the life of me.
I got back into the toilet and composed myself. After another 10 minutes, i returned to my seat and everyone started to applaud.
One old man thanked me for the funiest sight he had seen in all of his life.
I have never returned to New Zealand since.

Symantec warns of attempts to target Windows hole
Security firm says it has seen attempts to exploit vulnerability in Windows that was patched last week and expects other attempts to be successful.
Symantec is warning Windows users to install a critical patch or risk losing control of their computers.
The firm has seen attempts to exploit a GDI (graphics device interface) vulnerability in Windows that Microsoft patched last week , says Alfred Huger, vice president of development for Symantec Security Response.
"It's our belief that the vulnerability is being successfully targeted," he said on Wednesday. "We're seeing continued exploitation of it" in the wild.
As a result of the activity, Symantec raised the threat level for the vulnerability from level 1, the lowest, to level 2, a medium-level threat. The highest is level 4.
In the attempted exploits, a malicious image hosted by at least three different Web sites targets the GDI stack overflow vulnerability, according to Symantec.

My wife and I will have 8 nights from July 1 to July 8 for a road trip. We are happy to fly to a destination, rent a car, and drive. We have thought about going to Yellowstone and exploring a bit. Our main focus is the journey, not necessarily the exploring. Eg We want to hit the open road, see some awesome scenery, and stop and have a bit of a look at a couple of things on the way. I have been looking at some other forums and have "stolen" part of an itinerary that may work. Just wondering if you could have a look and see what you think?
Day 1 Fly into Salt Lake City and drive to Grand Teton
Stay @ Signal Mountain Lodge, Jackson Lake Lodge, or Colter Village
Day 2 Explore Grand Tetons then drive to Yellowstone for night
Day 3-4 Yellowstone. Stay 1 night @ Old Faithful Inn, 1 night @ Lake Hotel,
Spend a full day looking at the geyser basin around Old Faithful.
Day 5 Drive to Great Falls, stay ON
Day 6-7 Drive to Seattle/Portland via the Going to the Sun Road and have a stop somewhere on the way
1 Week Road Trip (Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier)

Another add on option for more time would be for us to get a flight from Kalispell to Seattle.

Whatever you can do to make more time, do it.
Even just driving around Yellowstone will take a lot of time. There's a whole, whole lot to see and do.
You might want to skip Glacier this time. -
Report Abuse
My opinion, is that you are trying to do to much.
I would just do Yellowstone/Tetons, or Just Glacier NP, or Just Seattle/Mt. Rainier/Olympics/San Juan Islands. There is more than enough to keep you very busy at all these places. You can't go wrong with any of them, but don't short change them. -
Report Abuse
That is 4th of July - are you sure you can get in to any of those places? Especially Old Faithful Inn . . .
If you've already booked - great. If not, I'd find out where there is availability and adjust the route to fit. -
Report Abuse
Agree with spiro, too much for a week or even 10 days. There's plenty of scenery between SLC and Jackson WY.
I doubt that you will get a reservation in Yellowstone but you can try to catch a cancellation.
Save Seattle, Olympic, Glacier for another 7 to 10 day trip.
My not so secret route to Glacier is to ride the Empire Builder from Seattle or Portland overnight to Whitefish Montana.
Amtrak joins the two sections in Spokane every night between midnight and 1:15AM. -
Report Abuse
You'll do a lot of driving and not see very much that you'll remember of the beautiful parks.
Is there anything stopping you from coming back another couple of times in the next few years?
I took my daughter to Glacier NP for 4 days this past August. I saw Many Glacier and the east side of GTTS Rd. I'm going back this August with a friend for a week. -
Report Abuse
True itinerary of mine, from WAY back:
Day 1 - Fly into SLC
Day 2 - Drive to and visit Grand Teton
Day 3 - Visit Tetons and Yellowstone
Day 4&5 - Visit Yellowstone
Day 6 - Drive to West Glacier
Day 7 - Drive through Glacier NP and on to Calgary
Why do I mention this? Because, even though I DID this itinerary, IT WAS INSANE FOR ME TO DO SO. Maybe I'm sounding like a testimony at "over-schedulers anonymous," but I do not recommend people follow my example. If you try to SEE too much, you end up EXPERIENCING too little!
So let me add my voice to those who say you're trying to see too much.
Just fly into SLC, drive up to Yellowstone, PROPERLY enjoy the beauty of the area and the route between the two, then return to SLC and fly home. -
Report Abuse
You aren't going to see much of anything interesting or scenic in Yellowstone just driving around. You have to park, get out and walk a ways to see most of it and the park is huge. Tetons and Glacier can easily be seen by car.
For that time frame, I would choose either Yellowstone/Tetons OR Glacier.
It's a several hour drive to get to Glacier from Yellowstone. -
Report Abuse
I would certainly try to hike/raft/horse ride or something in Glacier and Tetons. I don't think driving through a park is experiencing it much at all, IMOP

We too love road trips - the journey, the scenery, & simply taking in some of the highlights. With limited time, we pretty much did this type of trip in 2010, but went back in 2012, allowing a little more time to revisit some places, and take in a few new places. I do have to say that we enjoyed the second trip more because of the extra time we allowed; we didn't feel so rushed. As a 'highlight road trip', I think your itinerary sounds fine, with one exception: if you're going to go to GNP, you really should spend 1 night there before travelling the GTTSR. And who knows? Maybe, like us, you'll find that you'll want to do a trip re-do at another time & take in a little more, e.g. Beartooth Hwy, etc. I do understand where the other posters are coming from, but I also think 'to each their own'. Go and have a great time! And have fun planning your next trip!! (because you will, lol).
Report Abuse
I just wanted to add: On our trips, the accommodations are usually split about 50/50: 1/2 the places 1 night, the other 1/2 of the places 2 nights. Staying put in 1 place for 3 or 4 nights simply doesn't appeal to us (again, to each their own). Our siblings frequently go to places like Mexico, Hawaii, etc. We went once. We much prefer to pack up the car and hit the roads to see mountains/spectacular scenery. And coming from flat, flat Manitoba, we really loved the wonderful scenery in The Black Hills, Montana & Wyoming. Also, our dollars go further in the states, and there is greater variety for shopping. That said - we also love the Canadian Rockies and haven't been there in about 13 years. So, that's next on the agenda in 2014, returning thru the States. Haven't really started planning yet, but roughly it will be: the Cnd Rockies, Waterton, Glacier NP/US (missed in 2012), and if time allows, we'll drop further down: Great Falls, MT, for shopping, a return to Cooke City & over the BT Hwy (opposite way this time), Red Lodge, Billings for shopping, a stop at a casino in MN and then home. I really do think that planning these trips is half the fun!
