10 Southwest Florida Museum of History
While visiting Fort Myers, don't miss a chance to learn about the area's incredible history at the Southwest Florida Museum of History. Perfect for rainy days, this museum is housed in the former Atlantic Coastline Railroad depot, originally built in 1924. Inside, visitors learn about the people of Southwest Florida, including Paleo-Indians, the Calusa, the Seminoles and Spanish explorers. Other fascinating exhibits include an authentic replica of a 19th century pioneer "cracker" house, an original 1926 France LaPumper, and the Esperanza Rail Car. A perennial favorite among museum-goers, the 83-foot private Pullman rail car is a reminder of luxury transportation in 1929. Visitors can wander through the car's three state rooms, private dining car, lounge, servants' quarters and galley kitchen to get a true taste of early 20th century life on the rails. (239-321-7430)
9 Sanibel Lighthouse & Fishing Pier
The Sanibel Lighthouse is the most photographed structure on the barrier island. The historic lighthouse, established in 1884, continues to operate even today. The more than 90-foot-tall structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and although visitors aren't allowed to tour the facility, they are welcome to explore the lighthouse's grounds and enjoy the beach. Watch for all kinds of birds, dolphins and even kite surfers as this place almost always has a breeze. Enjoy the popular fishing pier where you could hook things like redfish, sea trout, snook, snapper and sheepshead to name a few. The mangroves and drift wood also make this spot desirable for photos. (239-472-1080)
8 Lee County Manatee Park
You don't need to go to a zoo or an aquarium to get an up-close look at manatees. You can see them for free at Lee County Manatee Park! Between the months of November and March, manatees swim into the canal of this 17-acre park to escape the cooler Gulf of Mexico temperatures. The mammals are drawn to the warm-water discharge from a nearby power plant, and the fact that the water is shallow makes viewing the creatures in their entirety perfect. On site there is a visitor center and gift shop and a playground for kids. You can rent a kayak or canoe for a reasonable price and explore the waters on your own. (239-690-5030)
7 Fort Myers Beach Fishing Pier
Whether you prefer fishing, people-watching, photography, strolling, or relaxing in the sun, the Fort Myers Beach pier is a great destination day or night. Extending far into the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent to the bustling Times Square area of Fort Myers Beach, the pier is a central hub of activity. Gaze down at beachgoers or up at parasailers, watch dolphins play, listen to live music, check out what the anglers are catching and watch the sunset. There's a small bait, snack and gift shop halfway down the pier. On the weekends enjoy a sunset celebration at the foot of the pier with bands, artists and other interesting performers. ((239) 765-6794)
6 J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge
This pristine wildlife refuge, named after famous "Des Moines Register" cartoonist and conservationist J. N. "Ding" Darling, offers more than 6,000 acres of South Florida's wildest wetlands, pearly-white beaches and mangrove forests. The refuge has an international reputation for its massive migratory bird population, more than 250 species live here. Among the park's many other permanent residents are alligators, river otters, manatees, snakes and sea turtles. Many endangered and threaten species find solace in the refuge as well. While you have wide access, it's important to remember that this is their turf. Visitors can bike or hike more than 7 miles of trails within the park or take advantage of the guided canoe trips and narrated tram tours. (239-472-1100)
5 Florida Repertory Theatre
This award-winning theater puts on world-class productions. Located in the heart of beautiful downtown Fort Myers, "The Rep" offers patrons a wide variety of productions, from dramatic to comedic. The Repertory's building is the historic Arcade Theatre, built in 1908. It was originally a Vaudeville house, and celebrated figures like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone watched films in this very building. Today, the Rep focuses on improving the community through the arts by putting on first-class, productions. Recognized nationally as "One of America's Top Repertory Companies," The Rep truly sets the bar for community theaters. In 2012, the repertory opened a second venue, the ArtStage Studio Theatre. (239-332-4488)
4 Edison & Ford Winter Estates
It's no wonder why the Edison & Ford Winter Estates are some of Fort Myers' most popular attractions. Covering more than 20 acres, this historic complex on the Caloosahatchee River offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives of two of America's greatest inventors, Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford. Tour the impressive botanical gardens and nine historic buildings, including Edison's Botanic Research Laboratory and the Estates Museum, which is filled with inventions, artifacts and special exhibit galleries. Catch a fascinating glimpse of the Edison and Ford motoring through the Everglades or learn about some of the lesser-known of Edison's more than 1,000 patents. Some of Edison's first light bulbs even continue to burn in the home's lab. The stately banyan tree in the gardens was just four-feet tall when it was planted in 1925, and now it sprawls across an acre of the property. (239-334-3614, 239-334-7419)
3 Hammond Stadium & The Minnesota Twins
Fort Myers is home to two MLB Spring Training teams, a dream come true for fans of the boys of summer. The Minnesota Twins are long time favorites at Hammond Stadium for their player's accessibility and friendliness. The facility was built in 1991 and is in the process of getting a facelift. Current capacity is 7500 but will increase by the end of 2014 thanks to a $48-million renovation project. The park has a popular a Beer Garden, spacious box seats and bullpen picnic pavilion that is a popular place to get the best photos and autographs of your favorite sluggers. The stadium also has a kids zone, lots of shopping and in the off season is home to the Twins single-A team, the Fort Myers Miracle. ((239) 768-4210)
2 Jet Blue Park (Boston Red Sox Spring Training)
In the spring, you can catch your favorite Boston Red Sox players in action during Spring Training at the brand new JetBlue Park. The park replaced the quant, old City of Palms Park when it opened in early 2012. While some fans love the palm tree lined old park, the new one is an impressive, near-replica of Fenway Park; Green Monster and all. The ballpark holds around 11,000 fans, with options including stadium seats, bleachers, the berm, and even seats in the Green Monster. In the summer, you can catch the Gulf Coast League Red Sox, the Rookie Level minor league affiliate of the Red Sox, playing at the ballpark. (239-334-4700)
1 Sanibel Island Beaches
Sanibel Island is filled with magnificent beaches that are great for a lot more than just relaxing. The barrier island is renowned for its shell-filled beaches and often cited as one of the best places for shelling in the world. Visitors to the island are known for doing the so-called "Sanibel Stoop". It's a move in which you're bent over to the point that the only thing visible is your butt, the rest of you is close to the sand searching for and collecting shells. It is illegal to take live shells, so if you find a creature is still inhabiting something you find, put it back in the water. (239-472-6397)

Yano i was just in a ranked que and whole team is picking their rolls and when it get to the final person they just afk/random lock in a champion. Now why should I be punished with a 30 minute que dodge penalty for someone else trying to troll a game? Possibly a solution to this...if 4 people agree to a remake it should be allowed to help remove possible trolls. I love playing league but this is just over the top

Reviewed Salmon Croquettes
Aug 6, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Thought this was a wonderful salmon croquette recipe. I, too, followed earlier reviewers and added some old bay seasoning as well as some salt and pepper. I also dipped the croquettes in cornmeal before frying instead of coating the outside in breadcrumbs. This recipe is definitely a keeper!""

Once again, developers find themselves bumping heads with community members on one of the biggest concerns middle- and lower-income residents have, affordable housing
Alma Realty and Studio V Architecture proposed a new development that would re-zone the area known as Astoria Cove and provide greater access to the waterfront.
"Right now, the peninsula is isolated and cut off from Astoria," architect Jay Valgora said before hundreds of Community Board 1 members, advocacy groups, union workers and residents at the Astoria World Manor on Tuesday. "These are old, underused industrial spaces that's a desolate eyesore. We want to bring the community to the waterfront."
When completed, the project would consist of three buildings along the waterfront, ranging from 26- to 32-stories high; a six-story mixed-use building and a six-story elementary school.
A majority of the project, 84,000 square feet, would be dedicated to open space for public use, including a waterfront esplanade and children's playgrounds.
Presumably, Astoria Cove would most likely resemble the recent work done in Hunters Point South, which has been widely well-received by all.
But what concerned many CB 1 members and others on Tuesday night was the lack of affordable housing that would be made available to the public and the fear that it would turn Astoria into an expensive and elite neighborhood, forcing blue-collar workers out.
"We currently have 295 affordable units out of approximately 1,700 apartments," Valgora explained. "We are looking to increase that number."
That adds up to about 18 percent of the units being affordable, a number many felt to be unacceptable.
"Where we are, 20 percent doesn't even come close to what we need," Evie Hantzopoulos of CB 1 said. "We need 25, 30, 35 percent at least."
The packed room erupted in applause at her statement.
What's more, the developers do not have a new number they are aiming for nor do they know when the updated number of affordable units would be made available.
"We are planning to increase it," one developer said. "You have to trust that. We are going to be working with the city, according to the mayor's new housing plan but we cannot provide a solid number for you right at this time."
This infuriated attendees.
"How do you expect me to vote on a project when we don't have all the information in front of us right now?" Hantzopoulos asked. "You're telling us to trust you but you can't give us a number and you don't know when you'll have one? I can't vote on that."
Many CB 1 members nodded their heads.
After a few minutes of pressure, the developers estimated that an exact number of affordable units would be available by the time the ULURP goes before the City Council.
But attendees felt that by then, it would be too late.
"Yeah, just like Willets Point and look where those people are at," Tatiana Serris of Astoria whispered. "Un-freaking-believable. The board will have no say at that point. It will be out of their hands."
The Corona and Flushing communities, including activists groups and Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst), pushed Willets Point developers, The Queens Development Group, to increase the number of affordable units in their massive plan.
The increased number was not made available until the day of the City Council vote.
Astoria Cove developers, however, were confident that the project would be well worthwhile.
"It is my belief that this could be one of the most magical, outstanding sites in New York City," Valgora said.
While affordable housing was a principle concern, board members also fired off questions on safety, transportation, sanitation, traffic and parking.
In addition, 56 individuals representing activist groups, unions, neighborhoods or themselves, lined up to share their concerns and emphasize that a decision on a project such as Astoria Cove should not be made lightly.
"I urge Community Board 1 to ask hard questions and not roll over for promises," John Collins, an Astoria resident and professor at Queens College, said. "As a professor who studies cities, I favor responsible development that doesn't hurt the community."
The hearing went on for three hours and while there were moments of high tension, there were a few speakers who said they were eager to see the beautiful green spaces and economic opportunities that the project will provide.
CB 1 will not vote on the plan until June 16 and, even then, the board's vote is merely advisory.
The plan will also appear before Borough President Melinda Katz and the Department of City Planning, before it goes before the City Council Land Use Committee.

- "Personhood" may be election's great divide
Gov. Bill Ritter, a self-described "pro-life" Catholic, lined up today to oppose Amendment 48, the issue on the November ballot that would declare a fertilized human egg to be a person.
"I believe the amendment goes too far," Ritter said, gathering with dozens of other opponents at a No on 48 rally on the steps of the Colorado Capitol.
Ritter said the amendment could criminalize necessary medical care, an assertion that brought heckling from a small group of abortion foes. One man was arrested by Colorado State Patrol troopers as he shouted throughout the governor's remarks.
Doctors at the event said the proposed amendment could make it illegal for a physician to remove a fertilized egg implanted in a woman's fallopian tube, which can cause an ectopic pregnancy and lead to serious medical problems or death.
Ritter said after the speech that he did not believe his Catholic and anti-abortion beliefs were at odds with his opposition to Amendment 48.
"My understanding is that there are things about calling a fertilized egg a person that do not square with church doctrine," he said.

So far Samsung has been right on the money when it comes to the much-anticipated Android 4.3 update for its major phones. Today customers with the AT&T model of the Galaxy S4 are getting the last version of Jelly Bean, according to this (very long) thread on XDA. It looks like the update file started going out to customers a few hours after midnight, so technically Samsung is a day late - then again, the schedule was leaked, so it's hard to hold that against them.
The Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S4 has been making the rounds lately, already popping up for Verizon and Sprint. Now it's set to make another appearance, not on AT&T or T-Mobile, but on US Cellular. The carrier that wasn't large enough to appear on Samsung's leaked accelerated Android 4.3 update plan now has a changelog up detailing what users can expect from software version R970VXUAMJA.
There was an unusually specific leak from Samsung last month, showing a relatively accelerated schedule for updates on the Galaxy S4, S III, and Note II on all four major American carriers. That isn't much comfort for those customers on US Cellular, since the #5 carrier wasn't quite important enough to be included in the leak. But now there's a new leak in town, helpfully provided by an anonymous tipster, showing that the US Cellular Galaxy S4 will be updated on Friday the 8th.
Sprint Galaxy Nexus owners, you can put down those pitchforks. Your Android 4.3 update is finally coming. Sure, it's arriving just in time for Android 4.4, but hey, it's not like anyone promised that your updates would be timely. Oh, they did? Well, it gets worse. The update is rolling out in stages over a 10 - 21 day period, and device selection is random. Some of you may still have close to a month to go.
Verizon got it first (for once), but now it's time for Samsung Galaxy S4 owners on Sprint to get their Android 4.3 update on. The over-the-air download should be disseminating today, though we've yet to see confirmation from Sprint itself. Assuming that it is indeed going out, the update comes right on schedule, according to a leaked Samsung document.
In addition to the standard Android 4.3 features, the OTA download (L720VPUAMJA) delivers compatibility with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch and Samsung's Knox encryption system.
Update 10/28/13 10:30pm PT: The update is rolling out now (thanks, bdh and ohbuckeyeman!):
Samsung has added details about the upcoming I545VRUEMJ7 software update that will, among other things, make the device compatible with the Galaxy Gear. That means anyone who ran out and purchased the watch before discovering that it was only compatible with the Note 3 can now breathe a bit easier (I'm sure at least one person did that, right?).
The first time I went hands-on with the NVIDIA SHIELD, I knew I was playing with something awesome. At the same time, I knew there was so much hidden potential under its hood – like the ability to play all those games not optimized for controllers. You know, like NBA JAM or Paper Monster. I desperately craved one thing: button mapping software. Hell, I made that desire pretty clear when talking about the new Archos Gamepad 2.
If you've got a Samsung phone from before the Note 3 and you're on an American carrier, you're probably wondering where your Android 4.3 update is already. The leaked schedule below has been verified to Android Police by two reliable sources, and shows when the 4.3 update is scheduled for the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, and Galaxy Note II on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. This update will also add support for the Galaxy Gear to these devices.
The Android 4.3 update for the HTC One has been making the rounds, starting in Asia, making its way to Canada, and then coming to the US via Sprint, AT&T, C Spire Wireless, and T-Mobile. Yet there are many countries not on this list, leaving a great deal of users who will be pleased to know that Android 4.3 is now popping up on International HTC Ones.
T-Mobile pushed out the Android 4.3 update for its HTC One just two days ago, but some users have had problems updating. While this story sounds like it would have an unhappy ending with some users left stranded using an older version of Jelly Bean, HTC has come out with an alternative means of saving the day. Today the company posted a full 1.12 GB RUU that T-Mobile customers can download and flash manually.

Cruise reunites with daughter in London
Comment on this storyLondon - Suri Cruise is spending Thanksgiving in Britain with her father Tom Cruise.
The six-year-old has been living in New York with her mother Katie Holmes since her parents divorced earlier this year, and hasn't seen her dad since July as he has been filming All You Need Is Kill in London. Suri reportedly flew to London to spend the holiday with him.
According to the New York Daily News, Suri left New York on Tuesday to see Tom, 50.
Meanwhile, Katie, 33, who has the day off from her Broadway play Dead Accounts is in her native Ohio, spending the holiday with her family.
Explaining her holiday plans recently, she said: "We have Thursday off, so I'm going to have a chance to go home with my family.
"My sister makes a really good sausage stuffing and my mom makes a great turkey.
"Many years ago, my dad started this tradition where we all do this run in the local park.
"It's a three-mile run called the Turkey Trot. There's even a prize, which I haven't won yet. But it's really fun." - Bang Showbiz

At WebLinc, our approach to recruitment is markedly different than that of the average firm.
While we strive to recruit the best and the brightest, and offer these individuals unparalleled career opportunities, we also recognize that people should have a true passion for any endeavor that occupies 2000+ hours of their time on an annual basis. We're not looking for people who leave their personality at the door or accept positions based primarily on the number of zeros at the end of their paycheck. Some people in the industry have called us a cult; internally, we call it a great day at the office.
If this sounds enticing to you, we invite you to browse the positions we have available and apply to the ones that strike your fancy.
What we're interested in are intelligent, articulate, well-rounded individuals who have the work-life balance down, yet are incredibly devoted to what they do. It wouldn't hurt if you had a good sense of humor, enjoy the prospect of having co-workers as good friends, and were excited about working with a diverse, seasoned group of professionals who help many of the world's leading companies build dynamic, engaging technology solutions.

The highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Signature Service Oil Change package, which promotes the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car?it cools the motor and prevents moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians who have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) nurse vehicles at Jiffy Lube.
In addition to performing oil changes, Jiffy Lube's savants perform air-filtration, brakes, electricity, and windshield services, among others. The technicians' quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, only complete a service after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.
The ASE-certified and AAA-approved technicians at Superior Collision and Paintless Dent Repair solve automotive issues arising from collisions and general wear and tear, specializing in repairing dents and restoring headlights. The team is lead by head tech Yury Gitelman, an Miami auto-body stalwart for more than a decade who honed his skills in Chicago and Russia. Part of his mission is spreading the word about the safety hazards that can arise from old, cloudy headlights, such as diminished visibility, especially when driving in inclement weather or through a cornfield. He cites several studies that show dim headlights increase the risk of an accident, and says that Florida law requires drivers to have high-beam headlights that show objects 450 feet ahead. When repairing dents, the team gently fixes the metal back into place from the inside, eliminating the need for paint touchups.
The ASE-certified master technicians at Premier Collision have been resuscitating rides in South Florida for more than two decades. Inside the 20,000-square-foot facility, the team relies on the industry's latest equipment to breathe new life into both foreign and domestic cars. Limited lifetime warranties back up their work, too, whether your car needs a new side mirror, got scratched up in a fender bender, or suffered major damage after falling out of a hammock.
Hometown Lube?s talented technicians ensure vital automotive processes are in working order via comprehensive repairs and refills of lube and coolant. The team?s customer-centric approach turns even routine oil changes into thorough vehicular physicals, as techs top off fluids, inspect tire pressure, and conduct a quick reflex test on door hinges. At all six South Florida locations, Hometown Lube keeps vehicles humming with a wealth of preventive and diagnostic services for engines, electrical systems, batteries, and tires. :m]]
What began more than 50 years ago as a single auto-repair outlet in Macon, Georgia, is known across America today as Midas. The trusted chain of car-repair shops spans 17 countries worldwide, and each location employs a skilled, reliable staff that strives to keep drivers and their families safe. This goal is perhaps best embodied by the Midas Touch Courtesy Check, a service during which technicians check fluid levels and tires for safety and check the area under the vehicle to make sure Robert De Niro isn't trying to hitch a free ride. Once they've given vehicles the once-over, mechanics can then prescribe any necessary services to keep cars running smoothly, such as brake repair, filter changes, alignments, and engine tune-ups.

I'm horticulturally illiterate so forgive the ignorant question: I'm aware that, as the only example I know, rhododendrons have different color flowers depending on the pH of the soil. I ask because, partially due to nostalgia of the miniature roses we had when I was a kid, I was lingering over some miniatures the local garden center has and will be buying 2-3. Is this simply variation in their genetics? The more pink plant, will always flower with that shade of pink; the more red 'beauty secret' will always be more red? Or can the color be affected by the soil, and the red plant could be persuaded to flower more pink or vice versa? Some secondary questions that don't merit their own threads: I already have some miracle gro tomato and vegetable fertilizer. Compared to the rose-specific, it has more calcium and less nitrogen (I think-- let me double check). Any reason it won't work on roses? Second, any that you'd particularly recommend from this list of what's available at the local garden center? This is more a taste question, but if one is harder to take care of maybe I'll steer clear. I'm having trouble deciding! :) 33 Rose - Miniature Baby Elizabeth |
Follow-Up Postings:
According to Help Me Find Roses Beauty Secret is a very RED rose. So I don't know why some of them are pink. They may be mislabeled or they could be old faded blooms or it could be the weather or soil conditions. In any case if you're really interested in pink and not red I would look for a different rose because Beauty Secret should be red. Any well balanced fertilizer should work fine. Roses aren't as picky as people make them out to be. They just want FOOD! You don't list your zone or say where you live so it may not matter but a lot of minis seem to be a bit black spot prone. I'm not sure why that is but maybe it's because they're short and their leaves grow very close to the ground where most of the spores come from. If black spot is a problem in your area you'll either have to spray to keep them clean or live with some spotty or leafless plants for a while. |
Color of roses is probably not affected by the soil. Some red and yellow pigments are strongly affected by the temperature and sun exposure. |

Thanks michaelg for the explanation! The pinker blossoms weren't wilted or dying, but, it's entirely plausible that they'd simply been in the sun more. Thanks seil: I think I'll get beauty secret for red (not ruby red), then baby elizabeth for a pink :) I'm in Iowa. We're zone 5, but last winter got down to zone 4! Our summers aren't as hot and humid as when I lived in Maryland, so maybe it'll be less a risk... but I'll keep an eye out for blackspot (I looked it up) and spray fungicide if it begins. I'm putting these in pots, and I've read that I need to keep the soil WELL DRAINED so I'm adding a ton of vermiculite and a bit of perlite? Sound good? I might also take them inside for the winter? |

(1) I've never heard of rhododendron flower color being affected by pH levels of the soil. But you might be confusing it with hydrangeas that are pink or blue flowered. (2) I agree with michaelg, roses of certain colors --the violets or yellows will change color due to the heat of the summer or the amount of sunlight hitting the petals (causing yellows to fade to whitish shades). 'Ebb Tide', a floribunda starts out in bloom in a red violet color and then as the summer wears on, becomes less red violet with subsequent blooms. 'Molineux' and 'Solero Vigorosa' tend to have their yellow blooms fade over time with the sun hitting them. |

Hi Berninicaco3 Welcome to gardenweb and this is a great place to check out ideas and input for roses and other plants. I only have Beauty Secret and Starina among the minis you list, but they grow well in the ground for me in the next state over. Next time you post, it helps if you put your zone 5 and Iowa in the zone line, so people can adapt their input for your zone. Even though we had a bitterly cold winter last year too, it doesn't change our zone for the time being, since those talk about averages rather than extremes. I'm not a good one for pot growing in general, but your well drained soil sounds like a good plan. Two points to add, though. You don't want to bring your roses in for the winter, since roses hate being inside and you'd get spider mites and sickly plants in the process. Instead, what you'll need to consider is how to winter protect your pots for the cold months. As I'd mentioned, both of those minis are hardy in the ground for me, but pots allow more cold air to reach the roots of the plant and can reduce the hardiness of the plants a full zone. What I'd recommend for the winter is to figure out a system for protecting the whole pot in a relatively secure (but still cold) part of your yard. Some folks use unheated garages or sheds, making sure to check water for the pots over the winter. I bury the whole pot in DRY oak leaves (don't use leaves that mat down and stay wet) in a spot next to the house for added protection, and take off the leaves in the spring when the garden warms up. Seil has a lot of pots she overwinters in a system where she wraps the whole bunch in protective materials against the side of her house, and she can chime in about her system there. Bottom line though is that they'll be happier outside and protected (and dormant for the winter) than trying to bloom inside. Have fun and it looks like you have some nice choices. Cynthia |
Well drained soil is good but that also will mean they'll need to be kept watered more frequently and because of that they'll also need to be fertilized more frequently. Because the water drains down and out the pot it takes nutrients from the soil with it. Cynthia gave you some very good ideas for winterizing. If yo can fit them in your garage that's usually the best because it's a little warmer inside there and it protects them from the wind and drying canes. And you do need to water them all winter. Even though they're dormant you do not want them to get too dry or they'll die. Dessication can kill a rose as quickly and easily as freeze damage can. |
Welcome! Yes, some colors can be affected by pH and nutrient levels, but pure pink isn't Beauty Secret. It could either be misnamed or it could be Copy Cat, the pink sport (mutation) of Beauty Secret. Take a look at the link below and see if that could be your pink rose. I wonder if their "Cracker Rose Pink" could be the found rose called "Pink Cracker"? Louis Philippe isn't a mini any more than Cracker Rose is. You can look them up on Help Me Find- Roses, the link I posted below. Yes, you can use the tomato fertilizer you have for your roses. Roses can't read. Vermiculite slows drainage and actually breaks down into a clay material. Perlite increases drainage. Just use your regular all purpose potting soil without adding anything to it. You aren't growing cactus, which requires much more drainage than roses. You haven't indicated what size pots you intend to use, but make sure they are large enough to insulate the roots against the heat from sun shining directly on their sides. Too small and you can easily cook them on a hot day, even in Iowa. They also need a large enough size to hold enough water for you to not have to constantly water them. Kim |

Been a year or two since I have posted here. I have a 2400 gallon outdoor Koi Pond with some 6 to 8 lb Koi presently on board. I also have a indoor aquarium and I have a massive growth of gray fuzzy furry looking algae on the Amazon leaf plants. The plants remain healthy, but this stuff has to go. Is there any removal references or treatments. I have one large black male angel fish, 4 small red parrot cichlids, a single clown loach, 4 fresh water crabs in the tank.. Mentioned for cautionary measures on treatments. Thanks.. KoiBoi. Central Iowa. |

This is my second build. I used the Benchright plan but had to modify it for one drawer. The Dimensions are 39 long, 25 wide, and 19 tall. I have heard others comment on how difficult drawers are. I thought I would just jump in head first with the kind of drawer that closes flush with the rest of the table - really had some trouble with making it square. I ended up shimming the face onto to the drawer because even though it opens and closes smoothly, it isn't square with the rest of the table...
I had originally planned to make the 20 second tidy up table for my living room and begun purchasing materials. However, I was let go from my job last Sunday, so changed my plans. I took inventory of all the supplies and materials I had on hand and tried to find a plan that would not require any more spending to build... to sell... to pay rent.... and thus the new table was born. And I love it. And I hate to sell it.
I tried to copy the finish on the 20 second tidy up table, and this is how it ended up. I used Minwax Golden Pecan for the base color and Red Oak for the accent color. The colors got a little blended together through the staining process. I really love how it turned out though because it's a nice warm color. The only thing I don't like is the grain in the pine didn't take much if any color, so it's still a bit yellow, which seems slightly out of place when I look at it. I think it will darken with age and look a little better. Otherwise, this was a super fun project!!

Stain it all! You will get
Stain it all! You will get more money for it stained than painted or unfinished.

I will try to do that this weekend... if I can find some money to get stain with. Hehe. I think it would look really great stained with the same method that Ana used on the 20 second tidy up table... rubbing the edges with a darker color... I love that look.

This is awesome! I love it. You did a great job. Do you by any chance have the construction process on this? I would love to try it for my "first" project!! thank you.

Thank you! I borrowed the idea from you.
I love the 20 second tidy up table and have plans to make 1 but I've been so busy with work that I've been commissioned to build. Nothing for me for a while.... So goes unemployed life. No complaints!!!

Review: Sugarmill could become a real sweet spot in the Ballpark neighborhood
SugarmillDanielle Lirette
2461 Larimer Street, #101
Hours: 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday
Ever see that magnet that says, "Life is short. Eat spinach first"? Of course not; it doesn't exist. People don't go crazy for vegetables, not even heirloom ones plucked straight from the ground. You can blame that on biology, or too many chocolate chip cookies eaten as kids. Whatever the reason -- be it nature or nurture -- the reality is that most of us can't resist sweets, which is why Sugarmill has the potential to be such a hit.
See also: Behind the Scenes at Sugarmill
Launched early this winter in a rapidly evolving section of the Ballpark neighborhood, the restaurant is a collaboration between pastry chef Noah French and prolific restaurateur Troy Guard, who crossed paths more than a decade ago at Roy's in New York. Designed by the same team behind Los Chingones, Guard's Mexican restaurant that opened next to Sugarmill in December, the dessert bar has a vibe all its own (even if the bathrooms are shared). Noah French behind the chef's counter at Sugarmill.
The color palette is elegant, with soft blues, browns and greens. Walls are covered with patterned wallpaper and a mural of a nineteenth-century factory, with men in top hats and women in gowns ambling near gigantic wheels and gears. Glass-globe bulbs hang from the ceiling and cast a romantic glow. Despite the case of pastel-hued macarons and tarts by the door, this clearly wasn't intended as a grab-and-go environment. It's a place to settle in, preferably at the marble chef's counter, and watch French in action. What better way to impress a date or extend an evening spent elsewhere than with desserts promising to be every bit as refined as the surroundings?
Yet what stands out most about Sugarmill is not the dacquoise or cheesecake or crème brûlée, or the appetizers or entrees from a savory menu initially designed by Guard and executed by chef de cuisine and TAG alum Jeff Hickman. (Hickman now handles the monthly menu changes.) French himself commands the attention here -- and that says as much about the charismatic Jersey native as it does about the fare his kitchen is putting out.Danielle Lirette Quiche makes a quick lunch at Sugarmill.
As you walk through the door, French, in chef's whites embroidered with his name, is quick to shout out a hearty welcome. Sit at the counter and he's as apt to strike up a conversation as he is to turn on the propane torch or squirt mango coulis from a plastic bottle. It is French who realizes that an ice cream float just went out without the red-and-white-striped straws, French who reminds a server to update the menu on the sidewalk. If you come just for dessert, he'll prompt Hickman to extend a morsel of mushroom toast to let you know what you're missing, and give you a menu so that you'll consider coming back next time for dinner. Even on nights when French is in the weeds, he'll make time for small talk before apologizing and returning his attention to a sheet pan of cake.
Made-to-order desserts are elaborate creations, with a host of flavors and textures, often mousse next to cake next to multi-colored sunbursts of sauces. A dried, syrup-poached carrot slants toward the ceiling. Crumbles of red-velvet cake cascade like a waterfall from a crisp macaron. Hot caramel spills from a pitcher over a chocolate globe, melting the shell to reveal a cloud of fluffy whipped cream. Rarely does a plate arrive at a table without eliciting some sort of audible gasp. "We want it to be a show, a 'wow,'" says French, a Culinary Institute of America grad who cut his chops at Disney World before traveling the country as the corporate pastry chef for Roy's.
Many Sugarmill desserts have that wow factor. Shades of Red, one in a series of color-themed plates that French is rolling out, combined the chewy pop of strawberry boba with the silkiness of raspberry mousse, the airiness of a raspberry macaron with cubes of red-velvet cake; berries and a dollop of housemade rosé champagne sorbet called the tongue to attention, providing welcome pops of acidity. Bunch of Carrots was more homespun, with praline cream, an ice cream float, and carrot cake finished not with cream cheese frosting but cheesecake, with a springy layer of gelatin-laced caramel on top. Those flavors were echoed by streaks of caramel and a spiced carrot-cake purée on the plate. Even the simple-sounding apple-almond tart was far from simple, with a very rich, sweet base of almond flour, butter and sugar supporting caramelized apples, maple-walnut ice cream and a drizzle of orange-scented honey.
Keep reading for the rest of the review on Sugarmill.

Keiran Lee's been in a coma for three weeks, and the whole time, his Doctor, Bridgette B, has eagerly been waiting for him to wake up, one eye on his huge cock. As soon as he recovered, Dr. B decided to put him through some tests to make sure his fat dick was still working properly. She put him through rigorous sexual testing, first by sucking on his fat cock to make sure it could still get hard, then by having him lick her pretty pink little pussy and tight asshole until she was dripping wet and ready to fuck. Bridgette takes his big dick deep in her throat and pussy until she cums hard, and then Keiran gives her a huge facial. Now that's a wake up call!

Leandra Smollin's primary research focus is social inequality, particularly in the areas of health, intimate relationships, and at the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and class. My dissertation, "Relationship Conflict, Violence and Abuse among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Adolescents," speaks to the social and health effects of inequality, examining the relationships between systemic oppression and partner violence. This enduring social and public health problem is critically understudied in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth populations, despite prevalence rates approximating heterosexual youth. Data from interviews, focus groups, and one year of participant observation explain how youth conceptualize and negotiate dating relationships and violence in a changing socio-political context. Asserting their relationships are essentially "the same… but different" from heterosexual/non-transgender peers, youth narratives consistently focused more to the latter, evidencing the myriad of ways discrimination, bias, stigma, and stress influence dating relationships and subsequently prove to inform responses to dating violence. The findings of this study extend beyond addressing gaps in academic literature, they will contribute to anti-violence and health policy and educational programming.
My scholarship in the area of inequalities both motivates and informs my public policy work. In 2011, I was appointed to the Massachusetts' Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth, and asked to co-chair of the policy recommendation committee. This committee is tasked with drafting policy recommendations issued to the state legislature and executive agencies addressing social and health disparities and gaps in service provision. My public policy experience, in addition to my community-based work coordinating a health education program at a youth-serving organization, have added depth and perspective to my scholarship and teaching.
I value teaching and learning, and received an award for teaching excellence from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Northeastern in 2009. I have taught a variety of courses in both Sociology and Gender and Sexuality Studies at diverse institutions including Northeastern, Newbury College, Tufts, and Boston University. In addition to introductory course offerings in each field, I have taught courses on feminist theory, health, gender, family, family violence, and popular culture. I look forward to continuing to work with students in the classroom and through research-based partnerships. | Curriculum Vitae
Christopher Prener is a Doctoral Candidate in Sociology at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. He received a B.A. with Honors in Sociology and History in 2008 from St. Lawrence University and a M.A. in Sociology in 2010 from Northeastern University.
Chris's graduate research has focused on multiple dimensions of emergency and mental health care in the United States, including public perceptions of mental illness, inequalities in hospital emergency department care, and the treatment of mental illness in Emergency Medical Service (EMS) settings. His dissertation research investigates the ways in which EMS work is affected by the neighborhoods it occurs in. In particular, Chris's dissertation work seeks to better understanding the complex interplay between the everyday work practices of EMS providers and physical place by analyzing the ways in which place structures providers' work shifts and their outlooks about patient care, socially stigmatized disorders, and the neighborhoods that they work in on a daily basis. His dissertation uses a mixed methods research design to investigate these interests. The design includes ethnographic observations of EMS work shifts and the neighborhoods where these shifts occur, semi-structured interviews with EMS providers, EMS patient data, and a wide variety of demographic and administrative data. Each element of the research design is geocoded, allowing Chris to situate his data spatially and to utilize various GIS and spatial statistical techniques for analysis.
In addition to his research, Chris is also interested in the development of data tools to assist in the collection of mixed methods data in interview and ethnographic research settings. He has an ongoing software project, FieldWerks, which is designed to extend the reach of ethnographers and allow them to easily collect spatial data at their field sites using iPhone-based software. In his current work at the Institute of Urban Health Research and Practice, he manages the warehousing of the project's data, which includes data from structured and unstructured interviews as well as medical record review data. Part of the data system Chris has designed includes iPad-based interview guides that are used for data collection at the literacy study's field sites.
Chris's methodological interests extend to his teaching. He has taught three sections of statistics for the Department of Sociology, and is excited to continue teaching methods courses in the future. Chris also taught a section of Urban Social Problems, which blends topics from more traditional social problems and introductory urban sociology courses. David Simon's HBO series The Wire played a key role in the course, providing a powerful visual introduction to the deeply rooted social problems that affect American cities. Students were asked to view two to three episodes a week while keeping up with a demanding reading list featuring many classic readings from the urban sociology and social problems literatures. Chris is interested in continuing to use visual sociology as a pedagogical technique, and to continue teaching courses centered around David Simon's various television projects.

I am going to place the order Monday for my shower tile. I am going to go with polar white marble with silver grey grout. How is your overall experience with marble tile in the shower ? How do you clean it ? What is your daily routine with it ? I hear a lot about rust stains especially on the shower floor. Thank you for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have my marble sealed with Dupont bullet. I squeegee, wipe down the fixtures and run the fan for about 30 min after a shower. So far so good. I have not had any rust stains yet but have only been using the shower for about two weeks. |
Thank you Sofla, enjoy it. Despite all the warnings from staining and etching , I love the look of this real marble . I'll take the chance and cross my fingers. |
I haven't had any problems. But not all marbles are the same, and I know nothing about polar white. I used Senguard sealer by Cosentino, which I got from my local marble/granite yard. It's really expensive, but he claims it's the best, and it's all he recommends for calacatta, statuary, venetino, and other white marbles. I use a marble cleaner (something with the appropriate pH), and I squeegee the wall tile maybe once every other week. I clean the floor and the lower level of wall tile around the perimeter with a scrub pad and the marble cleaner to remove soap residue. Good luck. |
Thank you KevinMP , I'll try to look for that sealant. How do you apply it without damaging your shower fixtures ? |
13 years ago i moved into new build with a marble shower... it had both a dk verdi marble and a lighter, whitish marble in it-don't know the type... i don't know if the shower was sealed by the tile installers, but only lived in that house less than 3 years and some areas in the shower had significant etching... i had used a 'marble safe' cleaner on it and nothing else... 2 1/2 yrs ago we had our current shower redone in marble... had it sealed and resealed it twice (about once a year...) and it looks perfect, so i assume sealing it is key... (and using a marble safe cleaner when cleaning!) tho the type of marble used might also be a factor...? |
I think that the marble kind , the sealant and how often you seal it are all key factors in the marble up keep. Thank you and I hope your marble stays that way for a very long time . |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When you're working with images inside of your layout, you may find that sometimes you want to crop those images. Unfortunately, Illustrator itself does not allow you to edit any pixels. So there is no way to cut off pixels from a file. However, you can use a method inside of Illustrator called masking to control what parts of image can or cannot be seen. Let's take a look at how we do that. I'll start off a blank new document and I'll go to the File menu and let's place a picture on our page. I'll choose Place, navigate to Chapter 15 in the exercise files, and let's go ahead and choose this one over here called surf_sign.psd. I could use a linked image at this point right now and choose Place and when I have the image selected, we already know that I have certain buttons available to me. For example the ability to embed our image, to edit the original and to do Live Trace, all these things, which we've already explored.
However, go further to the right, you see there's an option here called Mask. This allows us with one button to create a mask. So say I only want to crop the image to be a little bit tighter to the sign in the flag itself but I don't need to see all this part of the image here, all this part of the image here. So what I'll do is I'll click on the Mask button and now when I do so, I can now use the little arrows or handles on the corners of the image to adjust what part of the image I want to see. Notice, it's not scaling the image, but I'm simply doing as I'm defining the mask inside of Illustrator for what I can or cannot see of that image.
Just to show you what this looks like if I deselect and I go into Outline mode by pressing Command+Y, you will still see that overall image is here. However, what I have done is I have actually created a mask, which really in that particular case, when I click on that button, created a rectangle, which I was able to use to control, which parts of the image were visible. When you create a mask, anything that is inside of the area of the mask becomes visible; anything outside of the area of the mask becomes invisible. When I go ahead and now I'll go back to the Preview mode, I could see that I can basically click over here and I don't see anything at all, but when I click in the picture itself, I do see it. What I can do to add this particular mask is double-click on it. Notice now I'm isolating this particular mask for this image itself, clicking down again now reveals the whole image, which I can then move around if I want to. I can then double-click to exit the Isolation mode and I can see that I can move that around as well.
In fact, let's take a closer look at how masking actually works. Let's do it in a manual way, not the automatic way that we just did right now. I'm going to choose Command+A or Ctrl+A to select everything and press Delete. Now I have a blank document again. Let's go place another picture. Let me go to the File menu, choose Place. Again, navigate to Chapter 15 of my exercise files and let's go ahead and choose maybe this one called surf_ride.psd. I'm going to click on the Place button and now that image is here. Let's say I want to focus on just this one part of the image that's right here, but I don't want to mask it into a rectangle, maybe I want to create like an oval. So what I can do is I can go to my regular tool over here inside of Illustrator, my Ellipse tool and draw a shape. I'm going to hold down the Option key, which actually let's me to draw it out from the center and draw a shape something like this.
Now what I'll do is I'll hold down my Shift key, I'll switch to my regular Selection tool and while holding down the Shift key, I'll also select the photograph. So now I have two things in my selection. I have the photograph, which is currently in the stacking order, in the back of the stacking order and I now have this oval, which is now in the front of the stacking order. It's important to realize when you create a mask manually inside of Illustrator, the object that's at the top of your stack becomes the mask and anything that's beneath it is the items that become a mask inside of that object. So now what I'll do is I'll go to the Object menu, I'll choose Clipping Mask and then I'll choose Make. Now you can see that the photograph is only visible through the circle or the oval that I have created. It's not available or visible for me to see anywhere outside of it. I can double-click again to isolate it now. Now watch I can move this photograph around inside of the circle without adjusting the circle in that way. Now again, double-click outside of it to exit that Isolation mode.
So now I could very easily crop and work with photographs, in fact if I wanted to scale the picture to be a little bit more larger inside of that shape, I can once again double-click on it to isolate it. Now what I can do is basically click on that photograph to select it and then holding the Shift key down, I'm basically now enlarging that photograph. I could of course use a Scale tool as well. When I'm done with the editing, I can exit isolation mode this way and now again double-click outside of the shape. I now see that I can have the ability to really create any custom shape at all that I want and use that as a mask.
Again, just a key thing is, is that you want to create your shape, make sure that shape is at the top level of your stacking order, then select both the shape, the photograph or the image behind it and then create your mask. At anytime, you could also choose to select your objects, go to the Objects menu, choose Clipping Mask and choose Release. When you do so, it then does away with the mask, now have the original shapes that we have created as before.
