I'm looking to learn more about the high output T-5 lights. Does anyone have a picture of a HO-T5 system?
If you have grown plants under HO-T5 lights please let me know your experiences. Thanks |

Yes, T5's are the best of all the fluorescent lights. Especially the ones that get up to like 90 watts and like 6500 k. You can grow some good stuff under those. I use a t5 light fixture with 3 65 watt bulbs for my clones. It works really really well. I prefer something a little stronger for the later processes though. You can find a 400 watt HPS ballast rebuild kit that is only like 90 bucks with the bulb. It works better than any fluorescent light. If your growing plants that like getting tall then fluorescent lights are hard to use because the plant only takes in light from 6 inches of the light fixture, which obviously doesn't cover the whole plant so your not getting those bottom leaves any energy. HPS bulbs give energy all the way to six feet and the plants can get within inches of the bulb with good air flow and they wont burn. Well I hope that helped. Good luck |

When I expressed doubt that his cuisine could work miracles on one such as me, Nasu studied me. He is 57 years old. He did a full split at my table, then raised his leg over his head.
"Martial arts?" I asked.
"Modern ballet," he joked. (He speaks more English than he lets on.)
He is a former public-relations executive who by happenstance got into the unusual business of anti-aging gastronomy. He prepares food from historical recipes and adds a little spin, naming some of the dishes after famous beauties (who aren't around to claim royalties). The interior of this serene restaurant has screened-in private-dining compartments and a matted floor. He walks around in a samue, a Japanese robe traditionally worn by temple monks.
Nasu's food is colorful. He claims that's because in days gone by, before the understanding of vitamins and other nutritional properties, people instinctively knew that eating food of many colors would ensure a well-rounded, nourishing diet. "Modern medicine focuses on one thing. Old-time medicine was the whole package," he explained. Most of what I ate there was recognizable Chinese food, somewhat rustic but flavorful and vigilantly prepared. My dumplings were filled with pork, shark's fin, and shark's lip—plenty of collagen there. His recommendation for me was a soup to enhance virility.
A modest-size bowl of this potion, which he claimed took three days to prepare, cost $65. It was made from ham, pork, scallops, and melted deer antlers, which supposedly have effective anti-aging properties. The broth was superb, perhaps the best and certainly the costliest consommé of my lifetime—although now that I've drunk it, I'm sure I'll have extra decades to consume plenty more. I noticed something immersed in my bowl, something weird, something that I half-jokingly said resembled the worm in a bottle of mescal.
Turned out I wasn't far off. It was, he explained, the remains of a high-altitude hibernating bug that is attacked by a fungus and becomes a mushroom. That was the beastie in my broth. Eating it supposedly transfers into the wan body of the recipient the strength of an animal able to exist in the mountains of Tibet at an altitude of 13,000 feet.
I ate it. It was fine, but I wondered who else would appreciate such an esoteric treat.
"French people," said Nasu. "We get written up in a lot of fashion magazines. I don't know why."
I thought the Chinese food of Tokyo was less bound by rituals and traditions than the French or Italian, and I could only guess at the explanation: more familiarity, less awe. The Japanese chefs concentrating on Chinese food seem entirely comfortable with their responsibilities, less restrained than they would have been if they were preparing Japanese food.
Chef-owner Takeshi Kobayashi of the Chinese restaurant Momo-No-Ki, which features Hong Kong (Cantonese) and Shanghai (eastern regional) cuisine, told me that when he started out, he dreamed of being a French chef with a toque "because I thought those guys were so cool." Then he became smitten with the variety, the techniques, and the regional differences of Chinese. "I did not want to do Japanese food, which is beautiful and tastes good, but there is a way to do everything, all predetermined, and you have to play by the rules," he said. "There is space in Chinese cuisine to show yourself. The heat is strong, and the food can change drastically, so the personality of the chef comes through."
Momo-No-Ki, like most of the restaurants I visited, is simple in design. And like most others, it boasts an open kitchen, which is highly unusual in a Chinese restaurant, where one tends not to want to observe too many details of how food is prepared. The room has blond chairs, framed calligraphy, odd wall scribblings, and exceptionally unattractive plastic tablecloths. Dangling from hooks at the perimeter of the kitchen were house-cured unsmoked bacon and a fuzzy foodstuff that resembled the stuffing from an old couch but turned out to be the dried skin of an obscure (and apparently very large) citrus fruit.
Service was kind, although overly efficient. The cold chicken in black vinegar, very Shanghai, was on the table before my guest and I had ordered our entire meal. To be fair to the restaurant, it did take us a while to decipher the menu.
Kobayashi says most Tokyo chefs with Chinese restaurants tone down flavors, since the Japanese palate is used to subtlety. He deliberately does not. He piles on coriander, an herb he says is too aggressive for most Japanese. The chicken was vibrant and the black-vinegar sauce sublime. He's skilled at sauces, not ordinarily a virtue of Chinese kitchens, and I don't doubt he would have made a fabulous saucier, had he stuck to his original plan of becoming a French chef.
His soup dumplings, a Shanghai staple, had fantastically delicate wrappers, and his pork dumplings were perhaps more subdued and Japanese than he realized. His sweet-and-sour pork was wondrous, unlike any I'd ever had. The chunk of soft braised meat came with a coating so caramelized it was nearly black.
Leaving his restaurant, Pratt and I stumbled over one of the iconic images of Tokyo. There are quite a few, including the gaudy lights of the Roppongi entertainment district and the snowcapped symmetry of Mount Fuji. Another is the moaning Japanese patron, polluted with alcohol. Crouched on the steps leading up to the door of Momo-No-Ki, where a sign reads CHINESE CUISINE FOR YOUR GOOD HEALTH, was a drunk Japanese businessman, suit jacket missing, forehead shining, head in hands, groaning pitiably.
He was not a victim of the food but of the legendary Japanese inability to process alcohol as rapidly as legendary Japanese businessmen like to drink alcohol. I have always wondered why they don't slow down, and I heard one plausible explanation: Only when low-level businessmen are drunk are they permitted to tell off their high-level bosses; it is inexcusable when sober.

I purchased these in Black in the sale, as needed some work shoes! I struggle with painful feet - These shoes are perfect, they do not rub, they cushion the bottom of your foot, I am very heavy footed. I had to add some heel grips, but this is more my feet than the shoe. I will be buying these shoes in all the colours Clarks decide to make them in. Cannot recommend them enough!

Labour 'would reverse' coalition planning laws
Labour says it would reverse some of the coalition's controversial planning changes in England.
Shadow communities secretary Hilary Benn said it would trust local people to decide where homes should be built.
He told the Telegraph that ministers were "in a right mess" over planning and increasingly centralising decisions in a desperate bid to boost growth.
But the government accused Labour of "seeking to delete the green belt" when in power and stalling housebuilding.
In April 2012, planning law in England was changed with the aim of speeding up planning decisions and boosting housebuilding.
Sustainable developmentUnder the National Planning Policy Framework, local authorities are required to work out future housing needs in their area, and then allocate sufficient land to meet it.
But a "presumption in favour of sustainable development" caused a row with conservationists who argued it amounted to a "developers' charter".
"Start Quote
End Quote Eric Pickles Communities SecretaryLabour would reintroduce regional planning, handing power from local people to unelected quangocrats"
In a column for the Daily Telegraph website, Mr Benn accused the government of moving away from giving communities greater powers over planning to "encouraging a free-for-all".
He criticised powers contained in the Growth and Infrastructure Act, which allow planning applications to be decided directly by the Planning Inspectorate, if a council has not been "performing adequately" in determining applications.
This would cause "a lot of anger" when unpopular developments went ahead "on the say-so of a national quango reporting directly to ministers".
'Thrashing about'And he said other changes would make it easier for "payday lenders and betting shops top open up in our local high streets" - which would discourage other businesses.
The government claimed to support localism, but they were now "thrashing about trying to find ways to boost economic growth", he said.
"There is a Treasury view that planning is the problem and that if you get rid of restrictions then the economy will recover - they are wrong."
Planning in England
- Successive governments have tried to use planning laws to boost house building
- Labour's regional strategies required local authorities to set housing targets and identify a rolling five-year supply of developable land
- It was criticised for increased building on the Green Belt as it tried to tackle the housing shortage in the South East
- The coalition scrapped targets and regional planning and pledged to return powers to councils and give "neighbourhoods" more say
- But changes were criticised - notably its "presumption in favour of sustainable development" and moves to allow bigger extensions without planning permission
He said government plans were not boosting house building and "local communities should decide where they want new homes to go".
Labour would "reject the orthodoxy of the past - that people can't be trusted to make the choice - and give more power, more responsibility and more rights to local people, and then let them decide."
Labour sources said the party would restore its "brownfield-first" policy and reverse clause 1 of the Growth and Infrastructure Act, which allows developers to apply directly to the secretary of state for planning permission in some cases.
There should be constructive dialogue at a "very local level" - with "mechanisms for directly talking to people", separate from local councils.
But Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles said Labour had "dragged housebuilding back to its lowest peacetime level since the 1920s" when in power.
He said Labour's regional spatial strategies - which set housebuilding targets regionally through plans by local development agencies - had "built nothing but resentment within communities and were seeking to delete the green belt in 30 towns and cities across the country".
"Labour would reintroduce regional planning, handing power from local people to unelected quangocrats," said Mr Pickles.
"This government has simplified the planning system so councils have the freedom to make decisions in the best interests of their area.
"We have ensured that communities are now central to that system, which will bring about the sustainable development the country needs.
"We are making the most of every inch of brownfield land to assist regeneration, and getting empty and underused buildings back into productive use - by bringing in more flexible permitted development rights.
"We are committed to building more homes in sensible places and have given communities the power to set out the local development they want through neighbourhood planning."
Fellow Conservative minister Sajid Javid, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, also accused Labour of planning to bring back regional targets.
That, he said, would "bog down the planning system" and undermine Labour leader Ed Miliband's pledge to increase housebuilding in order to bring down the housing benefit bill.

Wicomico County Sheriff Could Get Raise
By Don Rush
Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis could be getting a raise after all.
The County Council voted 4-to-2 yesterday to recommend giving Lewis the raise.
That recommendation now goes to County Executive Rick Pollitt where Lewis's salary would rise by $10-thousand to $95-thousand a year.
The vote came after a change of heart by council member John Hall who originally opposed the pay bump.
Opponents like Joe Holloway said they based their votes on the ailing economy when the proposal was defeated in February.
It has been eight years since the sheriff got a raise.

As I get deeper into formulating my own recipes Ive been thinking more about the diastatic power of different grains. I can look up the enzyme power of all the grains I buy in degrees linter but does anyone know of a formula to factor in enzyme power and percentage by weight of grain to make sure that a recipe has enough to fully convert the mash? I think this would be a good thing to figure out for beers with non standard base malts like munich or beers with a lot of adjuncts. sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find it on HBT or in designing great beers which I thought had everything.
I haven't been around here as long as some but I don't think I've ever run across this one. From what I've seen though most styles have enough base malts to deal with the conversion. And with the quality of most base malts I wouldn't think it would be and issue. Are you having eff problems?
no efficiency problems. but im thinking about strange recipes like ones that use munich as a base malt (munich is only supposed to have enough enzymes to convert itself) or recipes with huge amounts of adjuncts, oats, rye, wheat, potatos, pumpkin, rice...
So im thinking I can just do a weighted average to figure this out. Munich which I believe has just enough diastatic power to self convert has about 60 linter so this would be the minimum average I need. so if I have a base malt with 141 linter and im mashing an adjunct with 0 enzymes I would need at least 35.5% base malt to have the minimum enzymes for proper conversion? Anyone want to weight in on this?
I don't have the formula you seek (I want it too!) but from my research, 35 Lintner is what is required for a grain to be self-converting. I believe I got that from wikipedia however so take it for what it's worth. I've checked through my brewing books and even Noonan doesn't give any information on this kind of thing. Probably a really advanced brewing book from one of the brew schools would be required.
alright thanks, if I do find the formula Ill be sure to post it here.
Ok after searching for a few days online I still haven't found anything useful. But from what I have read about the linter scale on wikipedia I should be able to use a weighted average. so if I have a mash with 50% wheat malt with 80 linter and 20% pale malt with 110 linter and 30% rice with 0 linter. this is just an example im not actually going to make this. I think I can just multiply the linter of each grain by the percentage (ex. for the wheat 80 * 0.50 = 40) then add that to the other weighted linters (ex. (80)*(0.50) + (110)*(0.20) = 62 linter for the total mash ) any grains with 0 linter should be irrelevant. I hope this makes sense and is correct.

A glut of the largest oil tankers in the Persian Gulf was poised to remain unchanged for a second week, a Bloomberg News survey showed.
There are 17.5 percent more very large crude carriers for hire over the next 30 days than there are likely cargoes, the median estimate in a survey of six shipbrokers and owners today showed. That's the same as on Oct. 30 and Oct. 23, according to previous surveys.
VLCCs on the Saudi Arabia-to-Japan voyage, the benchmark route for supertankers sailing to Asia, are losing $1,799 daily, figures from the Baltic Exchange in London showed. Returns were positive in only four sessions so far in the second half. Each vessel can hold 2 million barrels of oil.
The exchange's assessments don't reflect speed cuts aimed at reducing fuel costs, the main expense for owners, who can boost returns by slowing tankers on return journeys after unloading cargoes. The price of fuel, or bunkers, slid 1 percent to $615.13 a metric ton, the lowest level since July 26, data compiled by Bloomberg from 25 ports showed yesterday.

Polestar Volvos started appearing in 2009, yet until now they've either been extreme concepts or dealer-fit tuning packages. Making this new, Volvo factory-built high-performance 345hp V60 estate the first true Polestar road car.
It is only being offered in seven markets worldwide – and although some will get an S60 saloon variant as well, production is limited to 750 units in total. While the UK has been allocated a relatively generous 125 V60s, this is going to be a rare and exclusive choice. Especially given the price.
At £49,775 it's way beyond the £41,100 you'll pay for a 302bhp Sport Auto equipped BMW 335i Touring M Sport or the £40,740 Audi charges for the 329bhp S4 Avant, both of which are more efficient and have a bigger boot. In compensation for the extra cash you get a car absolutely loaded kit – the only option is the paint colour – and a decent amount of bespoke engineering.
Polestar remains an independent company, but it is also Volvo's motorsport partner – and has been since it was created in 1996. The two worked very closely to redevelop the 300bhp V60 T6 AWD into the car you see here.
Visual proof comes in the form of new spoilers front and rear, improving downforce at the 155mph limited top speed. Then there are the massive 20-inch alloys, behind which lurk enormous 371mm Brembo front brakes with Polestar labelled six-piston calipers. A new turbocharger and intercooler set-up add the extra power, boosting to 1.2 bar (instead of 0.8) and breathing through a 2.5-inch stainless steel exhaust system, valved to become louder at full chat.
With 0-62mph taking a guaranteed 5.0 seconds thanks to the easy-access launch control, standard six-speed auto and Haldex four-wheel drive system, this is a fast car. However, at 1,834kg, it's also a heavy one. So Polestar has wisely expended a great deal of effort upgrading the chassis.
Changes here include faster-shifting gearbox software and biasing the four-wheel drive more towards the rear, plus a carbonfibre-reinforced strut brace, stronger top mounts and stiffer suspension bushes. The springs are 80% firmer than the regular R-Design equivalents, the anti-roll bars 15% increased – but the key improvement comes from the ultra-trick Öhlins dampers.
Unique motorsport-derived valve technology means these deal impressively well with low, medium and high speed bumps, giving this V60 a satisfyingly deft blend of comfort and control. While Polestar hasn't touched the electrically assisted steering, the other mods help deliver extra feel, and with huge grip levels what ought to be a bit of a barge is surprisingly at home on a twisting racing circuit. Polestar is keen to stress it was never intended as a track car.
On the road the ride is decisive enough to give you confidence in the corners without ruining motorway composure. The result is relaxed but rapid progress with engaging charm, accompanied by a rushing turbo soundtrack like a muted Nissan GT-R. The sense of serious masses tightly marshalled is similar, too – though let's not get carried away with that comparison.
You do still have to be patient paddleshifting on downchanges, and in spite of Polestar's best efforts with black leather and blue stitching, the interior suffers the usual lack of quality and clarity. But if you've got the funds and fancy something different there is plenty to like.
... or buy a BMW 335d Xdrive Touring which is faster, has an 8 speed auto box and has emissions of 148g/km for £8k less. Wise up Volvo!
But your not getting it are you? It's an alternative..... Something diffetent ......you know .....something away from the norm!
Oh help me; for I feel I no longer live in the Uk , let alone the WIDER EU - but fecking Germany!!!
If it's not the AE - it's the sodding readers!
It's good to have alternatives but wheres the fun in being ripped off? Why cant they make a competitive product that has not only the performance to match the class leaders, but offers value for money? Look at the Vauxhall VR8, it may not be as polished as an M5 but at 20k less, it offers great value. This Volvo doesn't and therefore deserves to fail!
You mean like a footballer? Doesn't matter if the product is good or not, all he wants is to stand out from the crowd - to be an "indivijewel"! Haha you xenophobes do make me larf! I'd like to think that the majority of my fellow Brits don't have an anti German obsession, unlike many of the posters on here!
That's a laugh lolz. Anti German obsession? Have you tried reading some of the reviews on this site? The majority of the educated public just want to read unbiased reviews.
Comments come thick and fast with a huge pinch of suspicion because people are getting brassed of by Auto Motor und Sport who own AE......
C'mon get real bellend! Wake up and smell the coffee.....
It might be £8k less in basic form but match them both for spec and the 335D is a more expensive less powerful (and diesel), BMW dont offer a petrol powered alternative with 4WD..
Because tax on these is nearly 500 quid PA, in ten years (or less) time all these will be on the scrap heap which means huge depreciation. A bit like Mazda RX8s.
Diesel 335 is more powerful than the polestar. Torque matters! Petrol 335 with 4wd is only available in LHD and has an official 0-62 time of 4.8s with Auto but as BMW are very conservative with performance figures, motortrend did it in 4.4s. The wonderful thing about BMWs is that in standard RWD they drive beautifully, better than x-drive!
If money matters then you can get the Golf type R estate which is larger and has more load space and even cheaper than above.
BMW handles beautifully when road conditions are dry and flat. One inch of snow or water and you will end up with rear wheels spinning like a blender chopping the snow -- but nothing else. Why do you think most French, Italian and Japanese cars are front drive?

Customer Experience Executives' Top Priorities For 2010
Posted by Andrew McInnes on June 24, 2010
I just published a new report describing "Customer Experience Executives' Top Priorities For 2010."
The research uncovered a significant shift in focus for established customer experience execs.
In their early days, most customer experience executives focus on building their teams, gaining visibility and momentum, and fixing broken experiences. Now, many execs have survived their early days, and they're starting to think longer-term. This shift is clearly reflected in the two most common areas of focus for this year: defining clear strategies and developing repeatable management processes. Other common efforts include infusing customer experience into standard business processes, aligning employees by tying compensation to customer experience metrics, and taking more action in response to available customer data.
We here at Forrester see this shift as a sign that customer experience is rapidly maturing, largely driven by the emergence of the chief customer officer (CCO) as a key leadership role within many organizations. As existing CCOs gain influence and other firms see the financial and competitive advantages of strong customer experience leadership, we expect this trend to become even stronger.
What do you think: Will CCOs become as common as CMOs?
On a related note: I'll be presenting the findings from this research at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum next week. Hope to see you there!

A view from the front line
Having worked in this area since 2002 we are certainly seeing a change. The main issues that face CCO are around really convincing the rest of the management team that this is the right strategy. As usual there is a big difference between the words and the action. Certainly, I would agree that CCO's are looking much further ahead than before and changing compensation. It's still an uphill struggle for most organizations.

Chiwetel Ejiofor Eyed for James Bond Villain Role?
While many have debated whether the next James Bond should be black, it looks like its next villain may be.

Marilyn Monroe. The Rolling Stones. And Bond — James Bond. What do they have in common?
Film critics love "Lincoln." The historical drama earned a record-breaking 13 nominations for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards.

Awesome Marriage Restoration Testimony
By Joel & Kathy
From Sue of "Eric and Sue" one year after their Weekend Marriage Intensive! - and a couple months after enjoying the "Intimate Moments with Joel and Kathy" Cruise!
For twenty years, before I found The Man of Her Dreams, the Woman of His, I spent nights in bed with my back turned toward my husband. I would often be, crying to God, begging that I would learn to love my husband, that I would be released from bitterness and that I could be a normal loving wife.
I thought that I had married for wrong and selfish reasons and believed that I was getting what I deserved; all I wanted was to be pleasing to God by being a good Christian wife.
I prayed that I would become stronger with a softer more loving and patient heart. After all, my husband, I thought, was a Christian man. He went to church every week, taught Sunday School and served as an elder. Most of the time, he worked to support the family. I thought then that those things meant he must be a good husband.
I had low expectations. Society and our culture helped nurture the concept that I couldn't expect much from a guy. Christian culture further encouraged me to forgive and persevere.
I made excuses for his lack of communication, his isolation, neglect, helplessness, narcissism, jealousy, stinginess, ugliness, resentment and self gratification. I thought it was all normal guy behavior.
When Eric and I had been married nearly fifteen years, my outlook began to change. Unexpected tragedies happened in my family and I had to face God in ways that I never had before.
My vulnerability sent me on a deeper journey toward knowing Christ. As I began to know Christ more deeply, I came to the surprising realization that Eric, although verbal in church about his strong faith in God, was not actually a believer. He told me so.
Then I had to wrap my head around the fact that my husband was a liar and a pretender. Hard to believe I had been married to him that long before I realized his depravity.
It was still four years after that before I discovered Joel and Kathy and their ministry. I still didn't comprehend the full extent of Eric's sinfulness.
All I knew for sure was that I was miserable and that I felt trapped. Divorce was out of the question for me. I felt strongly that it was my burden to bear.
I thought divorce would be a sin of selfishness and I didn't want to hurt my family by bringing our problems into the open.
I also didn't understand the depths of God's love for us and how grieved God himself was about Eric's sin and my sorrow. I continued to pray for my own strength to endure. Little did I know that first I had to become weak and helpless and that God's plan was to bring my husband to his knees in repentance and grow him to be Christ-like in his love for me.
I had no idea that God would miraculously answer my prayer by transforming Eric into someone I can love, instead of transforming me into someone who could love Eric.
The first jolt of the answer to my prayer came one evening when I was researching on the internet about how to deal with passive-aggressive guys. A homeschool forum friend posted a link to "God Save my Marriage" with the question, "What about mutual submission?"
It's hard to believe now, but on that evening "mutual submission" was a totally new idea to me, although it's been there in Scripture all along. I clicked on the link and out poured blessing.

I've made a few sphere's and Slow asked me to post and explain how I did them.For the blue one I used an exersize ball. I did three layers and used drywall mesh and fibres for addition strength. I added some fibres to my concrete mix and did three thin coatings by applying the cement like thin hamburger patties with strips of drywall tape in
between for additional strength. I left a rough opening on the top, let the air out and removed the ball. I've painted the inside black, and left a small hole in the back to run electric and usually use it with a mister inside. You could mosaic both in and outside if you wanted. I have another one that I started to make and just couldn't get the cement mix to cooperate with me. I ended up just putting three balls of cement on the top of it and when it cured I upended it and turned it into a planter, although again this could be mosaiced.Both of the above I painted shades of blue. I also made a concrete solid sphere and mosaiced it. I use old glass light globes, fill them with concrete and let them cure then break the glass off.I've made a number of bubblers using this method, just inserting a piece of pipe or tubing in your glass globe while you add the concrete mix around it.

OK - that does it - I'm going to go buy an exercise ball TODAY. Oh, wait - I have a grotto to build. And oh, wait, I promised my friend and daughter that I would make another castle after the grotto. OK, fine. The exercise ball w/be the third project. Oh, wait - there's Christmas presents to begin. Lordy, I need more hrs. in each day, or more energy to work longer. KLINGER. I absolutely LOVE the Little and Lewis sphere w/the hole in it, and I LOVE the little planter. W/the three layers, they look thinner than the two layers I did on my leaf. I gotta work on that. Thanks so much for posting these. What inspiration. Lord, I don't have time to get old and sickly - too much to dooooooooooooooo. |

Been to Klingers: The sphere in the first pic looks soooo amazing with the mister inside...mesmerizing! We were at a nursery a few weeks back now, and saw a really nice mosaiced dish type like the one with the ball/legs and it looked great. |
WOWOWOW!! I love that big blue ball! (Does it fill up with water when it rains?) That is SOOO cool. And thanks so much for sharing tips on how you did it. I just went to an art exhibition of garden sculptures. I'll link my blog below where I posted photos if you want to check it out. Unfortunately, the battery on my camera died before I got to a lot of it (including much of the concrete and mosaic work they had GRRRR). But my point is--short story long--the artists offered each piece for sale so each had a price tag. Do you know what you could sell that blue ball for in the bay area???? I'm talking 4 figures. Anyway, love your work. I know Calamity and Slow have mentioned it before. Thanks so much for posting. |

Those spheres are awesome. I'm getting a workout ball next time I see them for sure. It would be perfect in the front of my house. Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring work. Lori, those pics are great. The Ruth Bancroft is on my must see list. I saw another blog post on this exhibit and if I find it again I'll certainly post that link. |

Hi Klinger! I'm the one who was asking about making a sphere bubbler. Thanks so much for posting your pics and method. I have all my supplies gathered and pretty much know how I'm going to proceed, but still afraid to take that first step... :( It's been so darn hot here and I'm so heat intolerant. I just need to do it... Hopefully tomorrow! Thanks again! |

Left CAK on a tiny plane & flight was not long. In Atlanta, it took so long to get from one gate to the other; at 71 & still active, even I had a hard time. Someone pushing a wheelchair invited me to join in elevator which really helped. Boarding is still rather chaotic..should be orderly line so that people take their turn. The plane was a huge one with 7 seats across. People still are not very considerate of people behind them & take forever to get in their seats while plane, crew wait. Pretzels or cookies??? Glad I brought my sandwich. On some flights I have been on to Ohio (several times a yr) like when the pilot tells you where you are flying over; that is always of interest to me. There were no movies but that is OK. Going back next wk hope it is a good experience.

Clean basic park, with level sites and friendly staff. Nice easy walk to the beach, and a great restaurant within walking distance. We would stay here again. - Lazy Days
Location, Location, Location! We normally don't stay too often at KOAs due to the high cost but this one was worth it. Within walking distance of the beach, harbor, and great restaurants. The interior roads are paved as are the sites. The utility hookups are convenient and we had a good line of sight for our satellite dish. The only minuses were that the sites were close together both on the sides and the rear. When it filled up for the weekend we felt real crowded. We probably would stay here again due to location! - Bob & Jo
When we drove up, we were miserable at the site of the huge power station behind. However, once we parked, and looked the other way, we realized that this was actually a nice little park. Quiet, level, clean sites with nice landscaping and plants between sites. The office and showers were in a porta-cabin but very clean and easily accessible. Better still was 'Phill's Fish Market and Eatery' was just a short walk away - just stunning. Expect to wait in line on the weekend, but once through, service is so quick and the quality, wonderful. The beach is a short walk away if you have limited stuff to carry, but we drove to the car park over the bridge as we were feeling very lazy and had 2 kids in tow. - cherryalmond

Might not fit if you have a Burton
I purchased these binding to put on a Burton chicklet 90 cm. The holes for attaching the bindings did not line up with the holes on the board. I believe it is because it is a Burton board. Also these binding do not have base plates. The base is one solid piece with drilled out hole slots for the screws.

In March
1942, the first women's department was established in
Auschwitz I by dividing the former mens's camp with a brick
wall two metres high. The first women were 999 inmates of
ravensbrück concentration camp. On August
16, 1942, the women's camp in Auschwitz I was dissolved and
transferred to Birkenau. During this time, the first
extermination of female prisoners
took place: 4.000 out of 12.000 female inmates were still
gassed in Auschwitz I, the rest was brought to
The first women's camp in Birkenau was soon overcrowded, thus it had to be supplemented by an additional part of the men's camp. Again in 1944, more parts of the camp were added to the women's camp..
Since there were only few German political prisoners in Birkenau, their share of camp officials was rather low. The majority of camp officials was recruited by German prostitutes. Besides, there was a small group of Jewish camp prominents, such as some Slovak Jews, who were an absolute exception, because they were seen as "inferior people" - together with gypsies and slavs. Usually, their place in the social camp hierarchy was at the bottom.
suffered more than male inmates from the jam of people in
the barracks, from the completely insufficient sanitary
equipments, the endless roll-calls and the tortures of the
SS-guards. Many of the female guards were just as
brutal and cruel as their male collegues. SS-Men and Women
were even competing in the brutality against the prisoners.
One of the most feared women was the women's camp
"Oberaufseherin" Maria
Mandel, who also participated in
Women lost
their shape faster than men and therefore reached more
quickly the condition of the so-called "Muselmann".
The average life expectancy for women was generally twice as
short as for men.
The expectation of life was a bit higher, when female inmates were able to work in "good commandos", such as kitchen, secretaries in the political section, sewing works, serving the family of the commander etc.. All other women had to work as hard as men.
German prostitutes could also work in the camp whorehouse, which was located on the first floor of block 24 in Auschwitz I and which had been established for specially "honoured", usually "Aryan" prisoners. Some SS-officials ignored all prohibitions of the racial laws and took up relationships with female prisoners, who - to a certain extend - could benefit a while from such relations. But mostly, SS-guards would not hesitate to kill their lover if she endangered him.
Women were also used as testmodels for pseudo-medical tests. The most cruel SS-doctors were Dr. Schumann , who sterilized women with X-rays, Dr. Clauberg who sterilized with chemical preparations, who artificially fertilized women and castrated men and DDr. Mengele who undertook the so-called "Zwillingsforschung" (experiments with twins), racial research with gypsies and Lilliputians.

City granted custody of most dogs seized last week
CORPUS CHRISTI - In an agreement reached Thursday, the city was awarded custody of more than 200 small dogs seized from a woman's home last week.
The 70-year-old woman will be able to keep three dogs of her choosing, nine dogs will go to people who could show proof of owning them and the woman's son will keep one of the dogs.
As part of the agreement, the woman must pay the city $8,500 Thursday to go toward boarding the animals.
Animal control officers seized 237 dogs, mostly Pomeranians, Dec. 18 from the woman's Edgewater Drive home. Officials had to euthanize one of the dogs because it was in poor health.
The city's Animal Care Center received more than 200 applications for the dogs in the past week but said the majority of the dogs likely would go to area shelters, where they will be guaranteed adequate care. It would be up to the individual shelters to handle adoptions for the dogs they receive.
The city has stopped taking applications for these dogs.

Does anyone use Epson Salts on their citrus? If so, please tell me the results.
How much and often do you apply? Do you notice any difference in foliage? How will it effect variegated leaves? I've heard ppl say they keep green leaves greener, so if this is the case, will it harm variegated leaves? Also, when I fertilize plants, I also use Superthrive hormone..can I add the ES's the same time I use fertilzier? Thanks, Toni |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use it at a rate of two tablespoons per tree(in ground Citrus) every time I apply fertilizer which is about every three months. I consider it a success since I see no sign of magnesium deficiency in my trees. Karl |

What about for in potted citrus plants? |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sun, Jul 9, 06 at 18:24
I too need info on growing in containers. But thanks for the info on feeding in the ground cause I have Poncirus and Flying Dragon growing outside..Toni |
Toni I read a post somewhere here that said to use the ES at the rate of 1 tbl to a gallon of water, monthly. I have given my citrus one dose and did mix it with the ST. I haven't noticed any difference but I had no yellowing to begin with. I'd be interested to see from someone who actually is knowledgeable about citrus respond because I'm pretty much a citrus novice (as you know lol). |
Epson= Japanese computer printer manufacture Epsom= Small town in England with strange tasting spring water. As a former resident of Epsom, I always have to correct this! I also add some Epsom Salts a couple of times a year to container citrus. This certainly does no harm to variegated plants. |

Thanks Karyn, I used 1/2 teas per gallon cause I wasn't sure and didn't want to apply too much, but I'm going to use once a month..One woman I talk to swears by the stuff and of what I saw, her plants do look good, though none are citrus. Cit, sorry about the spelling. I alwasys pronounced and heard it pronounced Epson salts..should have read the container..LOL So, it's Epsom salts..Oke-e-doke. Toni |

I use it at 1 Tbl. /gal. I just add it to the fertilizer when I fertilize. All my citrus are in pots. I fert. with miracle grow acid, and add the epsom, and a few drops of superthrive. Not sure of specifics of each one but I have nice green leaves and on all the trees and most have had fruit set, with the exception of the grafted blood orange (grrr) but it is @ 3yrs old and I've heard they take their sweet time. I keep all these citrus in pots. A few days ago I purchased a grafted, variegated lemon tree at a farmer's market for 11.90. A very nice looking tree with a lot of leaves and fruit. I thought it was a good deal until I repotted it and saw it didnt have many roots! But they do look white and healthy! (arrg-you get what you pay for I guess) I haven't tried the epsom on it yet because I just repotted it. I will try it later, though. It has nice variegation now and I will be interested to see if it changes any. It has a few striped fruit as well. I use epsom on basically everything and most of my plants arent variegated. I do have one ginger that is yellow/grn variegated and it has reverted to mostly green - so it makes me wonder... ~SJN |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Tue, Jul 11, 06 at 15:23
SJN, thanks so much..how often do you fertilize? Next month when I feed again, I'll add a whole tablespoon. So, you're wondering if your ginger lost color because of the ES? Is the citrus you have a variegated lemon? That's what it sounds like to me..I only have 3 variegated citrus..2 lemons and a variegated kumquat. Thanks so much..Toni |
IMHO...variegation is a genetic trait. In some plants it is a weak mutation, very unstable and more prone to revert to solid green. You would not change the color of your blonde hair to brunette by consuming only brown foods, would you? Same thing.( no comments from Miss Clairol users) Growers of variegated plants routinely pinch off any non-variegated sprouts, and they never propagate with a non-variegated cutting. Using ES may correct leaf yellowing due to a Mg imbalance, but it will not alter the genetics of the individual plant. Ray. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Wed, Jul 12, 06 at 15:26
Thanks Ray..LOL, on the Miss Clairol.. Changing from variegated to green was my main concern..I already gave my citrus a dose of the ES's so we'll see how they do..I added fertilizer, Superthrive and the ES's. But as usual, this is the third time this happened..everytime I fertilize, it rains a day or two after..I fed them Sunday, and we had a ton of rain on Tues. I wonder if the rain just washes the food out of the drainage holes..anyone have any opinions? Toni |

Hi Toni - what brand of epsom salts did you get? I saw some at Lowe's - 5 pound bag from an organic producer. Did you get something like that or just plain old epsom salts (bath salts)? Thanks, Jeff |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sat, Jul 15, 06 at 14:40
Jeff, I got plain old Epsom Salts..didn't know there was another types. I don't have a Lowe's around here anyway..sigh..I only got a small box of these salts, but if I like the way they work I'll look for bigger containers.,.Toni |

Infiniti G35 Maintenance and Repair
g35jon Posts: 5Anybody else have this problem?
Air bag warning indiator light stays on after start up (2005 G35 with 22,000 miles). Dealership replaces a circuit board when this happens but problem just reappears.This problem has been "fixed" 3 times already in last 18 months. Clearly there is a manufacturer's defect my dealership has failed to remedy. My wife is afraid to drive the car with electronic /air bag defects and dealship tells they will only do what the manufacturer (Infiniti) let's them. A 2nd dealship agreed to attempt fix number 4 while car is still under warranty.
PLEASE HELP ME -I I HAVE A :lemon: -
esfoad Posts: 210Does your airbag light stay on or flash? Mine was flashing and today the dealer replaced a switch. The bill is at my office so I cannot give a part number until Monday. We'll see if that fixes it. I had reset the airbag light and thought it was a random trigger because it stayed off for more than a week but then it came back on. So I took it to the dealer.
My car has 66000 miles and is on an extended warranty.
Now the dealer did say that they think they solved it because this is what they replaced on another car and it fixed that guy's issue. As I said, we'll see. -
allwsb Posts: 1I have the similar issue. The air bag light stayed on after engin was on. It is in the shop now. The dealer just called said it is fixed after changed the Air Bag Assembly. I will see. The car is only 2750 miles. I have no problem driving the dealer loaner around which is the same car but on their gas. I will post update if I see anything new.
elmorocotopo Posts: 2I looked around for an answer to this question but didnt see much.
I own a 2005 g35x with about 33K miles in it. I recently took my car in for an oil change and the dealer tells me that the belt is starting to crack and recommends replacement. Doesnt this seem a little aggresive? anyone else has experience something similar?

carjim Posts: 155The two Infiniti stores I use in the Dallas-FT Worth area both provide a loan car regardless of the size of the maintenance/repair or if it is under warranty or not.
We have two Infinitis, one bought from a Dallas dealer and the other from a mid-cities location. We are treated the same. -
lovenavy Posts: 15at 7,500 mile the maintenance tire light comes on. i assumed it for tire rotation,but i have the sedan sports model with front 225/50/18 and 245/45/18 rear tire ,so they're fixed, also check the pressure in the tires and they're okay. i try to reset the computer, it didn't work. any advice out there. thanks. :confuse: :confuse:
scottm123 Posts: 1,501Ah... There are two types of reminders. It sounds like they are boith set in your car.
The first type is set within the touch screen as we discussed.
The second type of alert is within the center console display.
You need to go through the screens there until you see the one for alerts and go down to Maintenance.
There, you can set alerts for things like Oil Changes... and a little oil icon appears when the time comes near.
These can also be turned off, or reset.
Let me know if that makes sense, or if you need more detail.

darrinzramz Posts: 24Hi my name is Darrin I just checked my air filter on my newly purchased G35 sedan(2004),year,from a Toyota dealer,the air filter was not changed for me before I bought the car(which should have been done).Any ways I purchased a K&N air filter,and now I notice this very little every-once in a while brief rough idle spot while at a stop light!!!??????,and suggestions on why this is happening!!???,any input would be appreciated thanks,Darrin :confuse:
sande1212 Posts: 1yesterday i did a huge drift in a cercil but then when i pulld up to stop my cars wheel whent all hard and it was imposable tu turn it the hydrolic did not help but after u press the gas pedal the wheel softens a bit and u are able to move it when u drive it is normol what is the risen for this and what can i do to fix it ...someone help a.s.p :confuse:
dukiedoug Posts: 12I just purchased an '06 G35 coupe with 32k miles. I was wondering how often most people are changing their oil? The gentleman I purchased the car from had the oil changed every 5k and was using full synthetic oil. I have done some research online and ran into a brand called AMSOIL and they say you only need to change the oil every 25k, if your using their brand of engine oil. Seems a little high to me. Just curious what most people are using for engine oil changes and filters.
darrinzramz Posts: 24Absolutely not!!!,I would not change from your full-synthetic oil to AMSOIL oil!!!,you really should change it every 5,000mi,Now if you abuse or drive extremely hard then change it every 3,000-4,000miles.Never let your oil go for 25,000miles,that's just not good for the car's engine,i believe,Darrin

sevenaway Posts: 19Has anyone had a problem with their window motors to the extent that even after three replacements, the window does still not work correctly. The passenger window drops a noticeable amount when you open the door while the driver window (with a new motor) barely moves at all. I have had this back to Infiniti three times and they still can't get it right.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
radioman18 Posts: 10
adamr001 Posts: 95This is an age old argument. Some people say yes, some people say no. I'm in the second category. To me, contaminents are contaminents. They don't just come from the oil being worn down, but they come from the filter and other factors too. As much as we'd like to pretend that the oil systems in our vehicles are closed, they are, in fact, not closed system. Synthetic oil has, on the whole, more resistence to break down (good) but it does nothing to reduce the additional contaminents introduced everytime the system is opened, the filter gets a little old, etc. Then again, I'm leasing this one so I'm just staying with plain ol' dino oil and changing per the book. Most of the "stress" tests where you see synthetic "beating out" conventional oil are rigged. How? Well, they intentionally place the vehicle in state that encourages breakdown by heat. A state no normal driver will ever see. Some racer's see it, but you know what? Every racer I know changes their oil FAR more frequently than 3000 miles too because they KNOW they're breaking down the oil.
Ultimately, it's a personal choice and YMMV. :P -
vybhav Posts: 5Hello everyone,
I have a small dent on my new G35 :-( . I hit the car ahead accidentally. I called the Infiniti dealer and he said they don't repair dents and stuff. I live in San Diego. Any suggestions on where I can get it fixed in way that makes it seem it never existed ? I am a newbie and this is my first car . So, not much experience with all this .
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

lewisw Posts: 16Had new OEM pads/aftermarket rotors put on my '04 G35 coupe. Ever since, they squeal backing up when applying brakes, but not when going forward and braking. Seems worse at very low speed (e.g. backing out of garage). Took it back and had pads "chemically treated" which helped for a few days, then it returned. It is annoying. What should I tell my independent garage to look for , or to adjust? Thanks!
agm1 Posts: 11
paulo6 Posts: 93My 2006 6MT Sedan with 23K miles on it, seems to have worn brakes already. My lease ends in October and I am sure I will need to change brakes prior to that. Will Infiniti mandate OEM brakes, or will I be able to get away with aftermarket? Also, normal for brakes to wear out at 23K miles?
esfoad Posts: 210I've heard some owners getting low mileage from their brakes but for an 06 with the new larger brakes, 23K miles seems low. Do you drive hard? Is most of your driving urban where you are on the brakes more than a highway cruiser?
Aftermarket brakes are fine. No penalty there as long as they are the correct fit.

Over the past year Arkansas has experienced extreme weather conditions ranging from snowstorms to severe thunderstorms, tornadic outbreaks, and flooding to heat waves and drought. AETN will host a panel discussion about these severe weather patterns, disaster relief efforts, the economic impact on agriculture, and emergency preparedness before, during and after distaster strikes.
2011 Weather Statistics
According to the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Little Rock:
- So far, Arkansas has experienced 72 tornadoes this year. The deadliest tornadoes of 2011 occurred on April 25th in Vilonia, AR, when an EF2 tornado killed four people. And, on May 25th four more people were killed when an EF4 tornado struck Denning and Harmony, AR. Both tornadoes had long tracks of 51 miles and 46 miles respectively.
- There were 12 tornado related deaths 7 in April and 5 in May
- There were 7 deaths related to damaging winds 6 in April and 1 in June
- There were 18 Flood/Flash Flood deaths 1 in March, 6 in April, and 11 in May
- There was 1 death related to lightning in August
- The last two weeks of April into the first days of May featured one of the busiest periods of severe weather and flooding/flash flooding in recent memory. Rainfall exceeded a foot in some areas, and excess runoff resulted in record crests at several forecast points along the Black and lower White Rivers (even higher than historic 2008 levels).
For more information read a press release by the Arkansas Farm Bureau regarding the flood's impact on agriculture in Arkansas.

AAP Outlines Fetal Damage with Drug AbuseMedPage TodayFebruary 25, 2013
The effects of drugs on the developing fetus are wide-ranging and vary by substance and time of exposure, according to an American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) report published in Pediatrics. Early in gestation, commonly-used substances such as nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, opiates, cocaine, and methamphetamines can have teratogenic effects, but later in pregnancy, they're more closely associated with brain development issues, wrote Marylou Behnke, MD, and Vincent Smith, MD, of the AAP Committee on Substance Abuse and Committee on Fetus and Newborn, in the technical report. The technical report looked at both the short- and long-term effects of maternal substance abuse on a developing fetus.

For close to a quarter century, the staff at HeadTurners Salon and Wellness Spa have been helping people look and feel better with a menu of relaxing treatments that earned the Hutchinson News Readers' Choice award for Best Day Spa and Hair Salon in 2009 and 2010.
In the salon area, cosmetologists customize cuts and colors at 15 hair stations, and nail technicians pamper hands and feet. Two licensed massage therapists loosen muscles with aromatherapy or heated stones, and aestheticians clarify faces using the Clinical Care Skin Solutions line. The spa also offers automated treatments for clients seeking high-tech relaxation and detoxification or guests who were raised by robots.
The crystal chandelier illuminates a copper-colored tin ceiling and lights the way toward a reception desk made of rich cherry. Guests can browse a selection of jewelry, clothing, and accessories in the boutique area.
At Hutch Chiropractic, Dr. Stanley Diehl boosts his patients' well-being with a holistic approach that targets the underlying causes of ailments rather than symptoms. His approach, like a overzealous bagel slicer, divides healthcare into three distinct sections. First, he tailors his gentle chiropractic adjustments to treat the immediate causes of pain, helping alleviate chronic headaches, neck pain, or backaches after a few visits. Then Dr. Diehl turns his attention to corrective techniques that help prevent further injury before focusing on long-term wellness, giving patients control of their own healthy destinies with nutrition and lifestyle counseling.
Doctors of Chiropractic Joshua Ferrell and James Perulfi join forces at Chiropractic Plus to help assuage their patients? pains. They aim to erase the discomfort associated with migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and out-of-whack backs with services that include chiropractic adjustments. Certified massage therapists Megan Fleming and Jennifer King provide therapeutic massages to help release stress.
After injuring himself during a high-school soccer game, Shawn Pomeroy couldn't shake an aching head and neck. He eventually saw a chiropractor to treat the pain, and found that it subsided after regular adjustments. Now a chiropractor himself, Dr. Pomeroy hasn't lacked for loyalty: he still sees the same doctor for his weekly appointment. His nearly 15 years of experience have only strengthened his belief in the power of spinal science, which he practices at two welcoming offices.
Pomeroy Chiropractic Wellness approaches back, neck, and head ailments from both preventive and rehabilitative angles. The staff scout for subluxations—misaligned bones putting pressure on nerves—with exams and x-rays, soothe muscular tension with massage, and educate patients on proper spinal care by demonstrating how to floss between vertebral disks. As for adjustments, Dr. Pomeroy can utilize his hands or a chiropractic instrument to try to correct backbone imbalances. His focus on family care means that both parents and children can benefit from his personalized, gentle treatments.
After pursuing several medical approaches, receiving chiropractic care was the only solution that worked for Dr. Greg Holmberg, a former young athlete who once faced the possibility that he'd never again compete because of chronic aches and numbness. He now aims to help others in the same fashion, helming a team of trained staffers to aid him in alleviating client problems without prescription drugs, surgery, or needles.
When he's not promoting health during community lectures, Dr. Holmberg treats client maladies such as arthritis, back tenderness, and headaches with 10 chiropractic adjustment techniques, and he incites weight loss with nutritional counseling. He also plucks from a bouquet of stress-slaying massage modalities including deep tissue and hot stone, working to help muscles to reestablish healthful habits and unknot themselves from swallowed Scrabble pieces.

I learned how to cook at a vegetarian co-op in college, which makes me somewhat unusual as cooks go -- the hippie co-op cooking style still informs most of my cooking. I've been vegetarian since 2005, and I love teaching people that food can taste good even without meat. I love cooking local, organic food with lots of veggies, and my local farmer's market is the best part of living in a city, food-wise.
I have a terrible weakness for good cheese, and good chocolate. My baked macaroni and cheese is, for me, the ultimate comfort food. Fresh tomatoes, garlic, and apples are among my favorite things to cook with.
