I am looking to purchase the Restoration Hardware Rococo chandelier for my dining area. Here are my dimensions:
-Room is 13x10; 8' ceilings -Table is 48" wide however i am thinking of replacing it in the near future with a 42" The chandelier comes in two sizes:
Please help me decide on the proper size! |

Go for the large one.. |
I think the medium might be better. One rule of thumb is to take the length + the width of the room in feet and convert that to inches -- this gives you the general size of the chandelier. In your room that would be 23" -- so the 26" would be a better fit. Also, if you do go with the 42" table, a 30" feature would come to within 6" of each side of the table. Even with a 48" table, it's within 9". That's pretty tight. With the chandelier hung at 30" above the table (or at 5' off the floor), the smaller chandelier will be 10 1/2" off the ceiling; the larger will be 8" off. Lovely chandelier! |
I agree the medium size would be better with that room and new table combination. A 30" lamp is that big all around and is tall. It would tend to dominate the table. |

Wow...this is so very beautiful. Congrats for being selected for the S6 shop. Question: What is the advantage of having one of your works selected? The reason I ask is because 2 days ago, I received notice of the same for one of my pieces. But I thought that all of my work and everybody else's was already in the S6 Shop.
sorry I don´t know. Unfortunately I do not know where you can ask me. I also thought that all images are in the shop, but apparently is not the case. Maybe someone knows an answer

Hey guys, there's a new baby subreddit called Philosophy of Rape that advocates for raping women. Not just advocates, of course, but gushes over it, calls it "Correction"-with-a-capital-C, says that it was historically a corrective action for sluts. I'll get to the historical accuracy of that statement in a second, because the pure outrage is more important, but the pedant in me wants to debunk that bullshit, too.
As David Futrelle at We Hunted The Mammoth has pointed out, Reddit has doubtless been made aware of this subreddit. They did manage to take down the Fappening subreddit after it came to light that it included child pornography, but I guess that someone actively creating an actual rape subreddit and in so doing using, of course, dangerous, threatening hate speech about 51 percent of the human population is totally OK. I mean, by their rules, it is totally OK, because the only thing that's not allowed is child pornography. Everything else? Free speech, bro! Keep reading »

The 20-year-old forward, who has been capped three times by Argentina's Under-23s, is expected to complete his move to Camp Nou once he has passed a medical
Barcelona have confirmed that they have agreed a deal with Boca Juniors to take Sergio Araujo on loan for the next two years.The forward's move to Camp Nou had already been announced by the Argentine club last week, and on Tuesday underwent a routine medical examination.
Araujo is not expected to be added to the Barcelona first team and will instead most likely line out for the Blaugrana's 'B' team this season.
However, the Catalans have inserted a clause in the Argentine's contract that will allow them to purchase the player outright for an undisclosed fee upon expiry of his temporary arrangement.
Araujo, who has been capped three times by his nation's Under-23s, will join fellow new 'B' arrivals Joan Angel Roman, David Lomban, Agostinho Ca and Edgar Ie.

Therapy targets folate receptors found on cancer cells otherwise resistant to standard chemo
ZION, Ill., June 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center, a leading provider of innovative cancer care for patients living with complex and advanced-stage disease, is the only hospital in Illinois and Wisconsin to take part in new clinical research involving a treatment designed to target ovarian cancer cells otherwise resistant to standard chemotherapy.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090612/CTCALOGO)
The Phase II clinical study, called "PRECEDENT," is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EC145, a drug currently being studied in the treatment for women with ovarian cancer who develop a resistance to standard platinum-based chemotherapy. EC145 was developed by Endocyte, a privately-held biotechnology company.
"With EC145, we're working to target a powerful chemotherapy drug directly to cancer cells while sparing the healthy cells," says Dr. Sybilann Williams, MD, gynecologic oncologist and surgeon at Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Midwestern Regional Medical Center and principal investigator for the PRECEDENT study. "EC145 is designed to target the folate receptors found in high concentrations on cancer cells," she adds.
In order to be eligible for the PRECEDENT study, patients must have platinum-resistant ovarian cancer where the disease has progressed or recurred within six months of a first or second treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy drug. Those elig

Sawant pulls ahead of Conlin by 41 votes
In what has become a nail-biter Seattle City Council race, Socialist candidate Kshama Sawant pulled ahead of four-term councilmember Richard Conlin by a margin of 41 votes in results released by King County Elections on Tuesday afternoon.
With nearly 160,000 ballots counted overall in the race, Sawant's 49.91 percent of the vote gives here a miniscule edge over Conlin's 49.88 percent. Tuesday's results were the first time during the ongoing vote count that Sawant has taken the lead in the race. Throughout last week and on Tuesday, late-arriving ballots have consistently gone Sawant's way, steadily erasing Conlin's 7.5 percentage point election night advantage.
"The systematic trend we've seen since Election Day in favor of our campaign confirms our ideas that Seattle has become a really unaffordable city," Sawant told reporters and a crowd of about 20 supporters, who'd gathered at her campaign office to await the results.
Conlin did not return calls for comment on Tuesday and his campaign manager referred to a statement posted earlier on his Facebook page.
"This is a very close election," the statement said. "We've asked our supporters to verify the status of their ballots with King County Elections, and we are currently waiting on further results from the County as they process and count the ballots they have on hand."
Conlin has served on the council since 1997 and said last week that if he wins another term, he will retire when it ends in 2015.
Sawant, an economics instructor at Seattle University, is running for her first public office. If elected, she has said her top three priorities would be raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2014, establishing rent price controls and implementing a "millionaires tax."
Asked Tuesday if there were any council committees she would like to serve on, she said: "We haven't thought about which committee we're going to belong to."
"Every committee is dominated by corporate interests," she added, "and the committee's agenda is geared towards making sure that all the corporate subsidies are in place and expanded."
While the vote numbers in the race could change up until Nov. 26 — the date when King County Elections will need to certify this year's results — almost every new ballot count released since Election Day has favored Sawant.
By Tuesday afternoon, a crew of about 290 King County Elections employees had counted-in 486,513 of the roughly 558,000 ballots submitted by countywide voters.
King County Elections has already sent notices to voters who either forgot to sign their ballot or signed with a signature that has come under question. These voters have until Nov. 25 to sign and return a form to King County that will re-qualify their ballot and allow it to be counted.
Sawant's campaign has been sending volunteers door-to-door since last Saturday to find supporters whose ballots were disqualified because of signature problems. Conlin's camp, meanwhile, sent out an email directing backers to a King County Elections webpage, where they could check that their ballot had been verified and counted. The email also included a request for phone-bank volunteers who could call supporters with problematic ballots.
If the margin of votes separating the two candidates doesn't widen substantially, the race will be headed toward a recount. State law requires machine recounts in elections decided by less than 2,000 votes and less than one-half of 1 percent of the total votes cast. Hand recounts are required in contests where the difference in votes is less than 150 and under one-quarter of 1 percent. For a fee, campaigns can also request recounts. The cost is 15 cents per ballot if the recount is done using machines and 25 cents per ballot if it is done manually.
Philip Locker, Sawant's political director, has said Seattle's archivist reviewed records that dated back to 1910 and could not find any Socialist candidate elected to the City Council. Sawant said Tuesday, "What we have shown here is our socialist ideas, far from being fringe ideas, are exactly what people are looking for."

It would be fun to have someone on the City Council who is really and truly not beholden to the usual power brokers. I don't think the world will actually come to an end if that happens.

I collected quite a few video clips from the cameras and I'm going through the process of exporting still frames from the two Sonys, using Final Cut Pro.

Break out the Bud Light and the cheez whiz ... the cast of "Party Down South" is celebrating 'cause their network just folded like a cheap suit and they scored HUGE pay raises ... TMZ has learned.
As we've reported, the 8 cast members had demanded 1,400% pay raises -- from a measly $500 an episode to $7,500 -- but CMT refused to budge ... until now.
We're told everyone settled on a 400% increase -- to $2,000 an episode. But CMT sweetened the pot by giving the cast a ratings bonus, and it's likely they'll collect on it ... the show is the most successful ever on the network.
So CMT announced Friday the show is officially coming back for Season 2.
You know what that means -- more backyard pee parties!
'Party Down South'
Money War Ain't Over!!!
Cast Threatening Strike
12:30 PM PT -- It's getting real ... a source connected with the show tells TMZ, "It would be a shame for them to walk away from their big break. Fortunately for the viewers, there are plenty of kids in the South."
The cast of CMT's "Party Down South" is NOT giving up on its war for fatter paychecks -- despite what the network is claiming -- in fact, they've now banded together ... and are threatening to derail the entire show if their money demands aren't met.
As we reported, show reps had claimed the salary war was over -- telling us the cast had agreed to continue with Season 2 production per their original contract ... at a rate roughly equal to their Season 1 rate of $500 per episode.
The cast wanted a raise to $7,500 each per episode -- but CMT refused to budge ... and reps for the show told us the cast had given up its fight.
But now we've learned ... that's not true -- lawyers representing the cast just sent a letter to CMT and 495 Productions, claiming the contracts initially signed by the cast weren't fair.
The lawyers claim the cast signed extremely unfair contracts without lawyer help, and they want new contracts drawn up asap. Among their demands ... way more money.
Season 2 is scheduled to begin production shortly -- but the cast is refusing to participate until CMT comes to the table. Reps for the show tell us, if the cast doesn't shoot, they're in breach of their contract ... end of story.
'Party Down South'
Southern Rebellion
Ends in Surrender!
The South will apparently rise again -- "Party Down South" is coming back for Season 2 now that the cast is waving the white flag of surrender in its pay dispute ... TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... the "PDS" regulars were stonewalling ... refusing to work unless CMT paid them $7,500 an episode -- a hefty 1,400% pay raise from the paltry 500 bucks for Season 1.
But sources close to the show tell us ... CMT refused to budge -- even though "PDS" is the network's most successful show EVER.
We're told, the network is being hard-ass ... saying the cast signed a contract through season 2, so that's the way it is ... the network's way or the highway.
BUT ... CMT dangled a carrot, promising bigger paychecks in Season 3.
Note to cast: That's the oldest trick in the book.
'Party Down South' Stars
We Want 1,400% Pay Raises
This oughta jar your preserves -- the "Party Down South" hillbillies are getting smuggier than "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... demanding a 1400% pay increase.
We're told cast members were pulling $500 each per episode for Season 1 -- but now that the show's a success, cast sources say the stars are banding together, demanding $7,500 per episode.
They have some ammo ... "PDS" has quickly become CMT's most successful program ever.
Our sources say CMT is hesitant to cough up the money, but the stars want their raises finalized before they shoot a single frame for Season 2.
We got the cast out Thursday night ... and they clearly had booze -- not bills -- on their brains.
'Party Down South' Star
VIDEO Captures Burglary
TMZ just got VIDEO OF the "Party Down South" star who was busted Sunday in Louisiana for burglarizing a car ... and it's clear this is not a drunken escapade ... it was coldly premeditated.
Check out Lyle Boudreaux scoping out the car. He seems to know it's unlocked and opens the door without hesitation and makes a beeline for the driver's purse. He then takes her credit card out of her wallet and prances away ... not looking drunk at all.
Boudreaux was nabbed in a nearby bar after using the credit card to buy drinks.
Boudreaux was arrested for felony burglary of a vehicle. And judging from the video, he's in big trouble.
'Party Down South' Star
Busted for Mardi Gras Burglary
"Party Down South" star Lyle Boudreaux celebrated Mardi Gras in true redneck fashion -- in the pokey -- Louisiana cops busted him after he allegedly stole a credit card to fund his drunken revelry.
The police chief in Maurice, LA tells TMZ ... Boudreaux was at a Mardi Gras parade outside of Lafayette when he allegedly went into an unlocked car ... rifled through a purse in the car ... and stole a credit card from a wallet.
We're told Boudreaux tossed the wallet on the ground next to the car ... someone saw the whole thing and contacted the owner. Cops were called ... and found Lyle drinking at a nearby saloon. Cops say he used the credit card to open up a bar tab.
The 28-year-old was charged with burglary of a vehicle ... and eventually released on $10K bond.
Lyle needs that raise from CMT more than ever.
'Party Down South' Cast
CMT Plays Hardball ...
You Wanna Walk, There's The Door
The hard-drinking, hard-partying rednecks of "Party Down South" are a dime a dozen as far as CMT is concerned ... because the network is prepared to cut some of 'em loose if they can't agree on new contracts.
TMZ broke the story ... cast members are holding out for raises before Season 2 starts shooting. Right now they're only pulling down $500 per episode.
Sources close to the show tell us CMT had a conference call last Friday with the cast and their newly hired managers -- and one of the stars, Mattie Breaux, went off ... bitching about salaries, and a plan to shoot seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back.
We're told Mattie eventually hung up, but producers were unfazed -- and are now saying if Mattie wants to quit ... they won't stop her.
We've also learned the cast will get $1000 each to shoot a reunion episode next week ... and they're hoping the new contracts are signed by then.
Now, here's why we're all pulling for Tiffany to get a rise raise ...

Wow! I love this...grandma gab! I have been stuck on other forums all winter and just found you all by accident! (like I really need to be spending more time on the web).
I am the grandmother of 3 very fine girls...twins (5 in May) and a 3yr old. They are the joy of my life and add so much to my world. Now I found a place where I can babble about them and I won't have eyes rolling at me... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Glad you found us. I love all the forums on this site. Congratulations on the 3 girls. Hope they are happy and healthy. I have five (5) grandsons ages 11 mos. to 9 yrs. They are all beautiful even if they are boys. |
What kind of baloney is this, " ... even if they are boys."!!!! Good wishes to all for a wonderful post-Easter season. joyful guy/Ed P.S. Dad had three sons - that helped with farm work when hired men all gone to World War II. Mom was sick in hosp. (schizo) from when I was 5 or 6 - Grandma (serious curvature of spine) and hired help operated our home. I remember once him and a neighbour who lived in the nearby village - and who had three daughters - commisserating with one another as to whose parental life was more difficult. This discussion taking place in our farmyard. Enjoy your week, folks - approach each day with anticipation and expectation. Something new to learn each day - even for old farts like us. joyful guy/Ed |

I am sensitive to fragrance, and this product is highly fragranced. It actually made my skin burn and itch. Back it went.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this powder for several years now and until recently was very happy with it. Now that a few lines are starting to show on my face I am finding that after a few hours the powder settles into the lines. Looks like the hunt is on for a new powder.

More reviews by larosedechanel
L'Oreal Translucide Naturally Luminous Powder is awesome. I'm really impressed! I have it in Deep & I love that it offers a little bit of coverage. I love that it's a loose powder, however I dislike the holes in the sifter; product tends to get all over the place & that's just wasted product. This powder is lightweight & doesn't cake onto my face. I have two cons: it's not luminous at all. It's a brown powder, of course, but it doesn't make my skin glow or radiate. Secondly, it's expensive for a non-luxury powder. L'Oreal isn't a high-end brand, so why the high-end price?
I purchased this product in the translucent shade to mix into my smashbox halo that's too dark for me.
I was looking for something slightly luminous. Halo promised to deliver that and hasn't.
I really really like Translucide. It offers an appropriate amount of luminocity (I really hope that's a word...)- it isn't glittery or shimmery like most cheap luminous powders. I don't look shiny when I use this, but my skin just glows. I have received multiple compliments since I began using it.
It is very finely milled and feels like a much more expensive product. Usually I'm not that thrilled by LÓreal in the least- but I'm definitely glad that I gave this a try.
The only downside for me is that it doesn't do a great job of oil control. I have normal skin, but my forehead gets oily because I have heavy bangs. So really- that's not the product's fault, it's probably just me.
I can't vouch for the tinted versions of this because I got translucent- but I'm smitten with this powder.
I've heard that it is very difficult to find these days, so I hope they haven't discontinued it!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Vial smell, I can't stand the smell. esp. b/c i use makeup that are frangrance-free! this is going to take getting use to, it smells like an old lady!!!! Ugh, I'm thinking of just returning this b/c of the awful stench.
I have been using this as a setting powder for 4 years now. I have this in the translucent color and it is nice. Not chalky. I have strayed to try other brands but I keep coming back to this because I like the finish. I also like the fact that it keeps me matte longer compared to other brands.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this translucide powder for a while now. A little goes along way. It is not cakey and blends in with your makeup very nicely. If you are looking for a powder to set your liquid foundation, I would recommend this product. My only complaint was the puff that came with it wasn't the best, however since I use a face brush to put this on it really wasn't that big of a deal. I ended up throwing the puff out.
This is one of the few things that never breaks me out, so that could be enough reason to love it. However, it also looks great on. I have it in translucent, and it is somewhere between matte and not shimmery but it makes your skin look natural, not super matte but not a disco ball either. The only downside is using it under my eyes for concealer because it ends up looking wrinkly( I use benefits powderflage for that purpose). Will definitely repurchase, that is, if it ever finishes.
More reviews by shovelingferret
I bought this because I was running low on BE Mineral Veil and wanted to see if a less-expensive powder would work in its place.
I also needed to avoid bismuth oxychloride as I think I'm sensitive to it.
The powder works well for setting/finishing with a nice appearance - not too dry or too shiny.
The smell though - I cannot deal with the fragrance. I tried for over a month, hoping I would eventually just get used to it but that's not happening. I'm sensitive to some fragrances and they can be a migraine trigger for me. Unfortunately, this falls into that category.
For those less sensitive, it may be a viable option. Those who have fragrance sensitivities, use with caution.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is above average, handy and does its job, but not top-notch stuff.
Like so many powders out there, the finish is wonderfully natural. Caking & emphasis on dry skin is minimal. It doesn't change the colour of your foundation - doesn't lighten it or anything.
But in about an hour, I'm already oily and the powder starts to feel rubbery like clay. I have to reapply quite frequently. It would have been nicer if the texture was smooth, and not rubbery but I'm not too fussed.
It also makes my nose very uncomfortable (the scent!) and I literally need to hold my breath when I apply it because I'm allergic to the fragrance. Some of you may not be allergic to anything, but what I really am trying to say is that it is a very strongly scented powder.
Although I am more pleased than disappointed with this, I would not repurchase because it does not last long (oil-control problem). However, the beautifully natural finish should not be overlooked.

Today, the switch from an analog to digital signal takes place. That means
most television stations will be broadcasting exclusively in digital from now on.
At NBC33, the switch happens at 12:30. It'll mean a clearer picture, better sound quality, and more channels. It also means you'll need a converter box if your TV uses an antenna. A coupon for the boxes is available through the government.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Otto!
Facts about Otto
- Breed: Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Otto
Otto's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Otto! Otto is a 9 month old male Silky Terrier Mix and is approx. 12 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, and utd on vaccines. Otto loves to play with all dogs both big and small and is currently working on mastering his house training. Otto is a playful and energetic puppy who will surely make any family happy to have him. To meet this great boy please contact his foster mom Carol at 702.232.8691. There is an Adoption Fee.
Other Pets at A Home 4 Spot
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Otto, a Las Vegas Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Las Vegas, or seeking a Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Las Vegas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Las Vegas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Las Vegas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Affenpinscher/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Las Vegas paves the way for another one to be saved.

A Look at Nokia's New 'Portable Office' Device
BARCELONA -- The Nokia (NOK - Get Report) E90 is a smartphone with a long, long history.
It's been around in one form or another for more than 10 years. That's like a millennium in human years. One of the first-generation handsets is actually on display in the Smithsonian.
The first smartphone I ever wrote about was the Nokia 9000iL -- a huge design.
The phone was closer to the size of a paperback book - with black-and-white screens inside and out. I think its weight was displayed in pounds -- not ounces. Fast-forward to this nifty new model -- now called the E90 Communicator -- which is now a lot smaller, faster and modern. The E90 is a quad-band GSM world phone with support for the 2100 MHz WCDMA/HSDPA data band. It is a long, clamshell design that measures 5.2 by 2.2 by 0.8 inches when closed. It weighs 7.4 ounces. The operating system is Symbian's S60, third edition, Feature Pack 1 OS along with some Java and Flash thrown in for good measure. Connections are handled through the built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MiniUSB and infrared ports. There's also a proprietary Nokia A/V connector. The handset has two, nontouch sensitive color screens -- inside and out, a 3.2 megapixel video/still camera, support for every kind of popular messaging format and system you can think of -- including Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) Exchange server and Research In Motion (RIMM) BlackBerry mail. There is all sorts of software inside too, which lets you write handle gazillions of tasks from text documents, to calendar appointments, to browsing the Web, making video calls. You get the idea. This is a smartphone to the max. The E90's best feature its keyboard. You can make calls and send text messages, etc., with the handset closed -- but if you only do that you'll miss the largest QWERTY keyboard of any smartphone on the market. I love the size. The keys themselves need to be broken in. Just out of the box, the keys are a little stiff. After some use, though, they've been getting more compliant to the touch. I find that I can type very accurately and quickly on the E90's keyboard. The only other thing to mention is the phone's size and weight. At first glance, it's not as slim and sleek as most other modern-day smartphones -- but that is the price you pay for a very usable keyboard and all the functionality crammed inside. The E90 is a wonderful "portable office" device for the connected road warrior. And I hope those people who are attracted and interested know, upfront, the price of admission. The E90 is available in all black or a cool red color -- only on the Nokia Web site -- at the mind-numbing price of $1,099.89. I understand that because neither U.S. GSM cell-phone company ( AT&T (T - Get Report) or T-Mobile (DT)) has decided to market the phone and help subsidize the price (through overpriced service plans), the end user has to pick up the entire bill. But, at that price, it's nearly three times what an 8GB Apple (AAPL - Get Report) iPhone sells for. But that's nuts! It's really a shame. If the E90 Communicator could be sold at a competitive price, I think you'd see a lot more of them being used worldwide.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA PIRELLI 2014 Race Strategy Report
James Allen's key moments, as they happened
With the longest run to turn 1 of any track in the season, the Teams will have done a lot of preparation this weekend for the race start, with the laps to the grid being critical for optimising the start process. This will be an interesting race strategy wise, as the circuit is very aggressive on the tyres, especially the front left tyre. The Teams will be closely monitoring the early stages of the race to decide on whether to go with the safer 3 stop strategy or the potentially faster but more risky, from a tyre degradation perspective, 2 stop strategy.
Lap 1
Poor start for Rosberg, who trails Hamilton in 2nd place. Bottas has a great start moving easily up into 3rd. At the end the lap it is Hamilton, Rosberg, Bottas, Ricciardo, Grosjean, Räikkönen, Alonso, Massa, Hulkenberg, Perez with Vettel in 14th position.
Lap 4
Hamilton is 7.8 secs ahead of 3rd place Bottas, pulling away at nearly 1.5 seconds a lap from the other teams.
Lap 5
Race control flag that the stewards are investigating an incident between Maldonado and Ericsson – Maldonado gets a 5 sec stop/go for causing the accident.
After failing to overtake Bottas, Ricciardo is told to drop back from Bottas to hold a 2 second gap to protect the tyres and cooling. Despite this call Ricciardo has another go at Bottas and almost manages to overtake him but is forced to drop back, albeit not by the 2 seconds which Red Bull have requested. He needs to make this move work quickly or he will damage his tyres due to accelerated tyre energy and ultimately impair his finishing position.
Lap 9
Hamilton is 23 seconds ahead of Perez in 10th position which is approximately a pit stop.
Lap 12
Hamilton is driving supremely and is 2.8 seconds ahead of his teammate Rosberg.
Lap 13
Vettel is the first to pit on to the hard compound tyre. Bottas continues to frustrate Ricciardo with the Red Bull clearly having more ultimate pace.
Lap 14
Rosberg's radio comment is very interesting, mentioning that there is no graining on the option tyre and starts to push harder.
Lap 15
Ricciardo pits effectively undercutting Bottas; with their better pitstops and a very aggressive pit entry by Ricciardo, the Red Bull should take the place from Bottas. Williams need to try and stick to their original plan as they will lose the place if they stop this lap.
Lap 17
Alonso pits to try and undercut his teammate Räikkönen but hits traffic and the undercut just fails with Räikkönen staying ahead.
Lap 18
Hamilton told to push hard in readiness for his stop which is the next lap.
Lap 19
Hamilton's stop is relatively slow (3.8 seconds) due to a delayed front left, but he should have enough time in hand to Rosberg that it shouldn't matter, albeit with Rosberg just setting the quickest race lap.
Lap 20
Hamilton responds with a new quickest lap – there will be a lot of discussion on the pitwall on how to beat to him.
Lap 21
The 2-stopping Bottas pits and comes back out 12 seconds behind Ricciardo who may be 3 stopping (but can still do a 2 stopper).
Lap 22
Rosberg pits for hard tyres (different to Hamilton who went out on the medium tyres) coming out 3.5 seconds behind Hamilton.
Lap 25
Vergne has to retire with an exhaust issue.
There is a great battle for 5th between Grosjean and Räikkönen, with Räikkönen eventually taking the position. Unfortunately for Lotus, Grosjean looks to be having a Power Unit issue with his car as Alonso also takes Grosjean on the straight.
Lap 26
Hamilton requests for help to reduced oversteer. His race engineer immediately replies to adjust his differential settings (closing it on exit) in turns 4 or 5.
Lap 36
Alonso pits and gets out just ahead of Massa and immediately successfully attacks Magnussen, whilst Räikkönen stays out. Race control flags up that Ericsson is being investigated for ignoring blue flags on Räikkönen – will this impact Räikkönen's lead over Alonso?
Lap 40
The gap between the two Mercedes stays unchanged and Hamilton realises that it will be a close fight at the end with Rosberg when Rosberg puts on the quicker medium tyre compared with Hamilton's hard tyre during the last stint.
Lap 42
Mercedes call Hamilton to box but Hamilton doesn't react so the pit crew have to put the tyres back in blankets – which is bad news for both tyre temperatures and pressures.
Lap 43
Hamilton pits and the stop is relatively slow at 4.3 seconds – this could be enough of a delta to give the lead to Rosberg.
Lap 45
Rosberg pits with a 3 second stop, with Rosberg rejoining the track 6 seconds behind Hamilton but on the quicker, medium compound tyre, so they should be fighting for position closely at the end of the race.
Bottas pits after Ricciardo does, to effectively cover both Ferraris for 4th position as they are too far behind Ricciardo.
Hamilton's radio traffic highlights that he is clearly frustrated in the car, querying the slow pit stops, front wing settings and strategy choice, even though he is leading the race.
Lap 50
Hamilton is 40 seconds ahead of 3rd place Ricciardo and 73 seconds ahead of 10th place Perez!
Lap 53
With 13 laps left the order is Hamilton, Rosberg, Ricciardo, Alonso, Bottas, Räikkönen, Vettel, Grosjean, Perez, Hulkenberg
Lap 54
Alonso pits on his 3 stop strategy, coming out behind the Vettel which is also on a 3 stop strategy. Vettel had started from 15th and is now in 6th and is the fastest car on track.
Lap 57
Vettel takes Räikkönen for 5th place and will be hunting down Bottas for 4th place, albeit with Bottas 5 seconds up the road. If Vettel can maintain this pace he should catch Bottas in the closing stages of the race. Vettel told on the radio to "close the gap progressively" to maintain some tyres for the overtake move.
Hamilton is struggling with his front tyres.
There are interesting fights for position throughout the race. Räikkönen and Alonso are fighting for 6th position and Bottas and Vettel are fighting for 4th position.
Lap 64
Alonso takes Räikkönen for 6th and Vettel takes Bottas for 4th – fantastic racing and driver control.
With 2 laps left both Mercedes are fighting hard as they approach to lap the two Ferraris.
Lap 66
Hamilton does very well to hold onto the race win – the Mercedes has a great Power Unit as well as fantastic chassis and aero package. Final top 10 order: Hamilton, Rosberg, Ricciardo, Vettel (drive of the day), Bottas, Alonso, Räikkönen, Grosjean (welcome first points for Lotus), Perez, Hulkenberg.

If you are willing to plan ahead so that the code you execute during this process is there solely to swap out buffers, then the GC can do what it wants the rest of the time. I could see some kind of construct whereby you could forcefully postpone a GC for long enough to do the work, but if you take too long, the GC would start anyway. Your job as a dev is to get your work done within the postponement period.

Jumping Beans
This page has been viewed 10 times this month, and 695 times total.
- Out of the Inkwell Theatrical Cartoon Series
- Inkwell Studios
- Distributed by: Winkler Pictures
- Cartoon Characters: The Clown.
- Live-Action Characters: Max Fleischer.
- Originally Released in 1922.
- Black & White
Cartoon Summary:
This retaliation cartoon combines elements of Jack and the Beanstalk with a bit of Gulliver's Travels. Fleischer, using a very tall drawing board, creates some Mexican scenery then adds the clown. Showing the clown some Mexican Jumping Beans Fleischer throws one into the drawing. It frightens the clown but Fleischer throws all of them onto the board. The frightened clown corners one bean and plants it causing it to grow. With urging from Fleischer the clown climbs the still growning plant. At times the clown seems to want to stop but Fleischer urges him on. The plant extends into space and the clown climbs on. Eventually he emerges at a kind of fantasy world where he encounters a creature with a very large head and small body. It chases the clown who falls off the edge of this world plummeting through space and back to the Mexican scene. He lands very hard. Now he is angry and creates a rubber stamp using it to create almost a 100 duplicate clowns. Commanding them to "Get the guy with the mustache" the rest of the film is the battle of the little clowns and the big cartoonist. Using ropes they capture him and tie him like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver. When Fleischer is able to escape the clowns all flee to the safety of the inkwell.

Flagstaff Marigold
I love these Marigolds - nice color and about 4ft tall. American Giant Sunflower Not as tall as I thought they'd get. About 8 ft, supposed to get over 12 feet. I don't have too much luck with hybrid types; they never get as tall as they are supposed to. Next year I think I will go back to Russian Mammoths. |

just beautiful! I like marigolds- I have not heard of this variety- they add so much color to the garden! I have 3 "Mr. Majestic" that I w/s- of course, they are crowded in some volunteer celosias and balsams- think I could move them now? I like the sunflower too- I have several this year, just begining to bloom- one is supposed to be "Rusty Orange" and one "Chocolate"- so, we will see :)) thanks for posting, |

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package saltine crackers
YUM! Can't really go wrong w/ these. They are great wether they are on their own or used for dipping. For as quick and simple as they were to make, they turned out delicious...a wonderful way to dress up an otherwise ordinary cracker. Thanks for sharing. :)
These were a little greasy for my liking, but I do enjoy the flavor! i'll decrease the oil if I make them again.
4 Ratings
These were good but as stated by another reviewer you can't really go wrong with something like this. I didn't find them to be oily but with that being said the last time I made them I used another recipe that packed a bit more flavor. However, the other recipe I use calls for a ton of crushed red pepper which the kiddos don't enjoy so I guess what I'm saying is this a fantastic starter recipe. If you like more garlic add it, onion throw it in, into more dill have at it! I give this one 5 stars based on the fact that its simple and doesn't "twist" your arm to add things that do not suit your family for the sake of staying true to the recipe. Great snack, dirt cheap, and easily tailored! Thanks for the tasty submission =)

Well, patch 1.12 has been live for a couple of days now, so the question seems obvious. Now that you've had a chance to see the patch in action on the live realms, what do you think of it?

Education, promotion and innovation are at the core of increasing pineapple sales.
And darketers will help with aggressive promotional campaigns this fall.
"During Thanksgiving, Dole will be offering nutritional point-of-sale material about the digestive benefits of eating fresh pines, such as touting that bromaline aids in digestion," says Bil Goldfield, communications manager for Dole Fresh Fruit, Westlake Village, Calif. "Additionally, we will be working with our contracted retail accounts to showcase in-store demonstrations to increase the user-friendliness of pineapples and its usages."
Goldfield says that the user-friendliness of pineapples cannot be overemphasized.
"We expect steady category growth for fresh pineapple in 2012 and beyond. One of the most effective tools we found in helping drive the increase in consumer demand is education on usage," Goldfield says. "Dole suggests retailers capitalize by utilizing product demos, recipes and nutritional education."
Product innovation also has been paramount to increasing pineapple consumption, says Dennis Christou, vice president of marketing for Coral Gables, Fla.-based Del Monte Fresh Produce NA.
"The pineapple category has grown tremendously over the last 10 years, and fresh-cut pineapple is a huge part of the category," Christou says.
While not mentioning specifics about any new products, Christou says Del Monte has a full innovation pipeline. He says the company offers new items to conventional and nonconventional retailers, with a special focus on the convenience store, to meet consumer and trade needs.
Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer
"Our Del Monte Gold extra-sweet pineapple, precut spears, rings and chunks open the door for other fresh-cut selections such as blends and trays," Christou says. "This provides retailers with fresh new items for their shelves, keeps consumer interest in the category high and drives sales."
To grow the category in the future, Coral Gables-based Banacol Marketing Corp. encourages its retail customers to offer consistent pricing and a product mix that includes fresh-cut and whole pineapples.
"Some people promote pineapples three or four times a year. They may put them on sale for around $2 and then put them back up at $5 after the promotion. Often that strategy can kill sales," says Bill Sheridan, vice president of sales and marketing for Banacol.
Instead, Sheridan counsels retailers to adopt an everyday low price and provide consistent quality to increase their overall pineapple volume. He also encourages retailers to offer fresh-cut pineapple items, so consumers have the option of selecting cored or uncored fruit.
He says educating consumers about the uses and nutritional benefits of pineapple also will help boost sales.
Toward that end, Sheridan says, "We try to do in-store promotions as much as we can."
Nutrition and the classroom
Emphasizing the nutritional benefits of pineapples and other fruits is one spear of a large-scale promotional campaign that Del Monte recently launched – with the school classroom in mind.
"Because of the success of the Teacher Monday promotion last year, we've recently launched our second annual Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms promotion," Christou says. "Our promotion provides the opportunity for 60 schools throughout the country to win $1,000 ($750 in cash for school supplies and $250 in coupons for fresh fruits and vegetables) for their classrooms ."
Christou says retailers are encouraged to participate in the Teacher Monday promotion through point-of-sale material, which is currently available. Del Monte, via an in-store display contest, will also offer 10 retailers the opportunity to award a salad bar to a selected group of schools.
Del Monte's promotion attracted responses by the millions – yes, millions – last year from consumers interested in helping their schools.
"Last year, our Teacher Monday Cash for Classrooms promotion gathered more than 1 million votes, 30 million on-pack stickers, tags and labels, and over 120 consumer media outlets delivering 39 million viewers," Christou says. "The promotion provides teachers the opportunity to educate their students on healthier eating habits and provides them with much needed cash for school supplies."
Building a better pineapple
In addition to education on user-friendliness and developing new fresh-cut SKUs, innovations at the production end have helped sweeten the pineapple industry's sales in recent years, says Elizabeth Inglese, commodity manager for pineapples, Calavo Growers Inc., Santa Paula, Calif.
"The introduction of the MD2 variety is one reason for increased sales," Inglese says. "The fruit is ready to eat at harvest, and it contains an amazing amount of sugar."
Inglese says the continued diversification of the U.S. population is also contributing to increased sales of pineapple, which is a staple of some cultures' diets.
Retailers should expect a promotable volume of pineapples this fall, Inglese said.
"I don't think anyone anticipated the gap in supply this summer, but our Costa Rican grower says the volume is starting to come back," Inglese says. "I'm not saying we're back to peak production, but supplies should be adequate to meet demand now through December."
Other marketers agreed production is on the rebound and that the quality is good.
"Pineapple volume is rebounding strongly from an early and disruptive NDF (naturally differentiated flowering) season, and we expect supplies to remain constant for the fall and able to meet demand," Dole's Goldfield says.
The production uptick is welcome news as retailers look to run pineapple promotions for the holiday season.
"Production is returning to normal," Christou says of Del Monte's fruit. "We are anticipating ample volume to meet holiday needs."

ATLANTA - Deceptive solicitations for extended vehicle warranties are rampant.
