Syllabification: in·tes·tateDefinition of intestate in English:
- The Public Trustee knows of countless stories where the wrong people end up with the money because someone dies intestate (without a will).
- He had died intestate and alone leaving £9m, and a tangled relationship with his family.
- The Curator could also be called upon to administer, manage and discharge the debts and liabilities of any person presumed dead, intestate or if their will could not be located.
- The good thing about intestate succession laws is that they usually mirror the deceased's wishes anyway.
- Click on the topics below for more information as to how the intestate estate will devolve.
- All children whether born within or outside a legal marriage, are entitled to share in the intestate estate.
Back to top- And the observation applies equally to a share of the residue of an intestate's estate.
- A personal representative has an action of account as the testator or intestate might have had if he or she had lived.
late Middle English: from Latin intestatus, from in- 'not' + testatus 'testified, witness' (see testate).
testicle from (Late Middle English):
The ancient Romans felt that a man's testicles testified that he was male. They formed the word testiculus from Latin testis 'witness', the source also of attest (late 16th century); detest (Late Middle English) which originally meant to denounce; protest (Late Middle English); testify (Late Middle English); and intestate (Late Middle English) 'without a witnessed will'. The testicles were the 'witnesses' of the man's virility.
- 1
- Example sentences
- By adopting someone who would automatically go to the front of the line for inheritance purposes in the event of intestacy, a decedent can deprive other angry relatives of standing to contest the will.
- As noted in that Schedule, for purposes of distribution on an intestacy, the deceased was survived by fourteen nieces and nephews among whom, the net estate should have been divided equally.
- Similar questions arise when the licensor becomes bankrupt or dies, and his trustee in bankruptcy or those entitled under his will or on intestacy seek possession of the property.

Well JT, they are surely nice looking and look as if they will taste good. I bet you have already eaten some! I planted Black Krim this year, but don't think I will plant them again. They taste really good but mine is not a great producer. I also think they have about three times the seeds but smaller. David |

Summary: Has political propaganda ever been effective? To what extent do African-American families interpret their favorite TV show differently from their white neighbors? Are romance novels and teenage magazines reactionary fantasies or do they provide women with an important space of their own?

Beginning with a general introduction to the Reader, each extract is placed in its historical context with specially written section prefaces and suggestions for further reading.
Organized chronologically and thematically, sections address:the paradigm shift--from "effects" to "uses and gratifications"; moral panic and censorship; the active audience and reading as resistance; shifts in screen theory --the spectator and the audience; the fan and the audience; gendering the audience; internet audiences, convergence and increased levels of interactivity; and nation and ethnicity. The conclusion discusses the effects of Internet "overflow" and the increased level of interactivity it seems to offer.

Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
i know this is a simplistic look, but hear me out.
the steelers are rarely in position to draft the #1 rated qb, rb, cb, ot cause they are always drafting mid to late round. i dont think they will take the 3rd highest rated cb or de with #23 pick. recent history says if they are drafting late, they like to take the highest ranked (best) player at their respective position (and not afraid to move up to do so). s. holmes - 1st wr off the board t. polamalu - 1st safety off the board h. miller - 1st te off the board even d. sepulveda was the best (and 1st) punter taken it helps explain why they felt compelled to take spaeth with a 3rd round pick if they felt he was the #1 or #2 te on their board. faneca was the 2nd guard taken in the draft. looking at the scrub taken before him, i have to assume faneca was the #1 guard on their board. just like plaxico burress. being that the bungles took peter warrick before him (#4), we have to assume the steelers thought of plex as the best wr in the draft. (unfortunately they passed on the #1 lb - urlacher). casey hampton was the 4th dt chosen in a year the steelers coveted marcus stroud, however he was the #1 pure nose tackle. we really dont know if big ben was the 2, or 3 qb in the steelers eyes. all we knew is he was too much value to pass up. but what if the browns or cardinals had selected him? we wouldve taken the #1 running back off the board (k. jones or s. jackson) or more likely the #1 ot (s. andrews). r. gallery was chosen before him but that it was by the raiders tells me andrews was #1 in the steelers eyes (see p. warrick). and what happens when we reach for the 3rd or 4th best (highest ranked) player at their respective position with a high pick? we end up with t. edwards, r. colclough, or a. jackson. therefore i cant see the steelers spending the #23 pick on the third best wr, ot, or wr if the consensus #1 guard is sitting there staring them in the face. we may even swap picks with dallas to do it. |
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
Nice read tony what could have been if we would have taken urlacher.
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
Sepulveda was the 2nd punter taken ..after Podlesh...but that takes nothing away from your point since Sepulveda was ranked as the #1 punter on virtually everyones board. The closer I get to the draft I have to agree that we will take Albert if he is there...but I am thinking that the "big three" OT's will be gone by #15..and I worry that Albert may be gone by #23...if not...I think you are right on the money! |
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
you done your homework, but the steelers took the 3rd best qb, Roetlisberger when they could of had the # 1 LB in johnathan vilma or we even could of had Steven Jackson.... good information though..you do make a point
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
there is no such thing as franchise LB or franchise RB. not only was ben a "need" pick, but he was probably the best player remaining on many boards at 11. but i did note how ben was one of the rare exceptions that worked recently, and the steelers probably woulda taken the #1 OT or RB had he been gone. |
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
Sounds like there can really only be three possible options using that rational Tony.
OG Albert ILB Connor FS Phillips (trade down if he is the only one left??) I like Albert and feel he is the logical choice and definetely would take Connor if he was the second option. Not entirely sold on Phillips. Good Stats. |
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
Tony... amazing point. I never thought about that until I saw it written down. Thats really put in to perspectivw why teams often draft the best players available rather than a subpar rated pick to fill a need.
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
Well lets hope he's still there, great thinking Tony keep it up.
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
kinda glad to see them not reach for the 7th best lineman in the draft. |
Re: Recent history says B. Albert is the pick?
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:20 AM. |

Subscribe to Douglas County Treasurer's Tax Lien Sale Information
The Internet Tax Lien Sale will be held on November 6, 2014
The 2014 Tax Sale Interest Rate is 10%
Purchasing delinquent tax liens at sale is a popular form of investment.
Here are some facts to help you understand what a tax lien sale investment is, and what it is NOT:
- When you purchase a tax lien sale certificate on property, you become a lien holder on the property. In essence, you loan funds to the owner to pay taxes.
- You purchase the tax lien, NOT the property. In Douglas County, eventual transfer of deed has occurred in less than 1 percent of all purchases.
- Investing in tax liens through purchase at tax lien sale is just that — an investment. The purchase can be thought of in terms of a potentially long range C.D.
- The State Banking Commission determines the rate of return. The annual interest rate is set at nine points above the federal discount rate as of Sept. 1.
The Treasurer's Office wishes to make it very clear that all sales are made with a "buyer beware" warning. While we make every effort to remove property with bankruptcies, FDIC or RTC connections, we cannot guarantee a property to be buildable or desirable. In any legal proceeding involving a tax lien, Douglas county will not represent the investor.
- The annual Tax Lien Sale will be conducted via an internet auction.
Please visit sri-onlineauctions.com for all bidding rules, guidelines and registration information. - Treasurer Welcome Letter
- SRI Welcome Letter
- Auction Rules and Information
- Tax Certificate Process
- 2013 Real Property list
- 2013 Real Property List
What is the date and time of the next tax sale?
Douglas County will be using SRI Incorporated for the internet tax sale. Information regarding upcoming tax certificate sale auctions is available at sri-onlineauctions.com.
How often are tax certificate sales held?
Colorado tax sales typically take place in the fall of each year, but must be held on or before the second Monday in December.
How are properties put on tax sales?
CRS 39-10-102 … all properties shall become due and payable on January 1 of the year following that in which they are levied and shall become delinquent on June 16 of said year. Properties are eligible for the tax certificate sale the same year they become delinquent.
Where and when will the auction/sale be advertised?
Advertising is placed in a local newspaper. There will also be information on the SRI and Douglas County Treasurer's website.
How often do you advertise sales?
The first publication is at least four weeks before the date of sale for three consecutive weeks. CRS 39-11-102
What type of payment is required and when is the payment due?
Each county sets its own payment terms. The payment terms will be posted in connection with the rules of sale for each particular online auction. In any event, lien buyers must pay the amount of their bids in a form of funds acceptable to the county treasurer and by the deadline established by the county treasurer in the rules of sale. Please refer to the SRI website for the specific tax certificate sale auction in which you would like to bid for more information concerning payment terms and rules of sale.
What type of bidding process will be used?
The minimum starting bid for each tax lien certificate is equal to the amount of the delinquent taxes, interest, advertising and fees as shown on the SRI internet auction website. Douglas County tax certificates sales are "PREMIUM" auctions in which a bidder can choose to bid up the minimum amount due. Premiums are never returned and draw no interest, the premium should be considered a cost of securing the tax lien. The annual rate of redemption interest shall be nine percentage points above the discount rate, which discount rate shall be the rate of interest a commercial bank pays to the federal reserve bank of Kansas City using a government bond or other eligible paper as security, and shall be rounded to the nearest full percent. The tax certificate will be sold to the person who will pay the delinquent taxes, interest, advertising, fees and premium at the established interest rate return on investment.
Will the sale be final?
All sales are final. Once bidding on a tax certificate for a particular item of property closes, the tax certificate is awarded to the winning bidder and the bidder is obligated to pay for the tax certificate.
Will other liens be cleared from the property as a result of the sale?
Existing liens will not be cleared as a result of the tax certificate sale. The event that may potentially extinguish various liens and encumbrances is the issuance of a Treasurer's Deed. You are encouraged to consult professional legal counsel for more information regarding this topic.
What will I receive to verify the purchase?
SRI Incorporated will email a list of all tax liens purchased to each bidder. After the tax sale is closed, balanced and posted, the lien buyer can print their Certificates of Purchase from the Douglas County website.
Will you allow purchases of tax certificates by mail, phone, or by fax?
No. You or your authorized representative must participate in the public auction online in order to bid on/purchase tax certificates.
What happens to the properties if they do not sell in the auction?
If a certificate is not purchased, the certificate shall be struck off to the county. The county held liens list is available on the Treasurer's website.
Is a current property list available?
The original published delinquent list will be available on the Douglas County website towards the end of September or the beginning of October depending on the sale date. Two weeks prior to the sale date an updated list will be provided to SRI and will be updated daily through the day before the sale. It is the Buyer's responsibility to research the property on which they are bidding. Tax sales are "BUYER BEWARE". The Assessor's website at douglas.co.us/assessor provides additional information regarding the property.
Is a copy of the county rules and state statutes regarding the tax certificate sale available for purchase?
No. The rules are on the SRI and Douglas County websites. It is recommended you review the Colorado Revised Statues Title 39, Article 11 (Sale of Tax Liens) and Title 39, Article 12 (Redemptions) prior to participating in a tax lien sale auction.
What is the redemption period?
A tax lien may be redeemed at any time after the certificate is issued and before the county Treasurer issues a deed for the property. Under CRS 39-12-103(1) Real Property for which a tax lien was sold under the provisions of Article 11 of Title 39, as a result of delinquent taxes may be redeemed by the owner thereof or his agent, assignee, or attorney, or by any person having a legal or equitable claim therein, or by a holder of a tax sale certificate. The person redeeming a tax certificate shall pay the Treasurer the face amount plus all interest, costs, and charges. Three years from the date of the original tax sale the lien holder may apply for a Treasurer's Deed if the lien has not been redeemed.
If the lien purchased is redeemed, will I get my money back?
Upon redemption you will receive the minimum sale price of the tax lien you purchased plus redemption interest thereon. Please note that the amount by which your purchase price exceeded the minimum sale price (the premium) will not be returned to you upon redemption.
Am I responsible to pay subsequent taxes after the sale?
If the owner does not pay subsequent taxes before August 1st each year, you will be given the opportunity to pay them. The Endorsement Eligibility Report will be available on the Douglas County Treasurer's website as soon as possible after August 1st each year. Your payment will be endorsed onto your lien and will accrue interest at the same rate as your original certificate. If there are multiply lien holders on a parcel from previous years, the current year tax payment is applied on a first received basis. The property owner may also pay the current year prior to the subsequent taxes being received from the investor. If the property is in bankruptcy, subsequent taxes cannot be endorsed.
Who conducts the tax certificate sales in Colorado?
SRI Incorporated will conduct the tax sale on behalf of the Douglas County Treasurer.
Does the purchaser have the right to secure the property?
A lien purchaser has no right to secure the property prior to the issuance of a Treasurer's Deed by the county.
What if someone gets hurt on the property during the redemption period?
The lien purchaser is not the owner of the property during the redemption period. For this reason, the lien purchaser is not responsible (by virtue of its interest in the property) for any accidents or injuries that occur on the property during the redemption period.
How do I get title to the property?
The Treasurer's Deed process is handled by the Treasurer's office. There is a Treasurer Deed Request and Procedure form on the Treasurer's website. You are encouraged to engage professional legal counsel regarding obtaining ownership of property for which you acquired a tax certificate.

The proliferation of dual-clutch transmissions this year prompted another revelation that never occurred to me back when the VW/Audi DSG was the only game in town. Namely, that the success of such a gearbox depends less on its technical execution than on the personality of the car in which it's installed. When VW first introduced DSG, I liked it so much that I figured I'd enjoy it in any car. But, although a dual-clutch transmission is perfect for an upscale hot-hatch Volkswagen R32, and I can't imagine the technologically avant-garde Nissan GT-R with anything else, I was turned off by the dual-clutch transmissions in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR and the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Not because there was anything inherently wrong with those gearboxes - both whipped off instant upshifts and flawless, rev-matched downshifts - but because they don't seem to suit their host vehicles. Driving a dual-clutch Evo or 911 is like inviting a legendarily debased friend on a trip to Vegas and learning that he's stopped carousing and become the director of a charity called Worthy Causes That You Really Can't Make Fun Of. You can't fault the guy, but his newfound maturity is secretly disappointing.
Also disappointing were the 911's seats. After the five-hour drive back to Ann Arbor, my notebook included the following observation: "I'm not Andre the Giant, but at about six feet and 180 pounds, I am too wide for the seats. The 911's optional "comfort" seats look like they were molded for Mary-Kate Olsen. What gives? Germans are a hearty, schnitzel-eating people. They're deluding their beefy, beer-loving Hun selves by building seats sized for tapeworm-infested woodland fairies."
Narrow bolsters notwithstanding, I'm not complaining about the chance to rack up a few hundred miles on a 911, but I'll admit it wasn't my first choice for the long trip back. I wanted the Challenger. Alas, at 8 a.m. its space in the hotel parking lot was vacant, some early riser already rockin' down the highway. I shouldn't have been surprised.

(KMOV) – A local group held its annual No Pants MetroLink Ride in St. Louis Tuesday night.
While the forecast called for temperatures in the mid-20s, STL Improve Everywhere wanted riders to take their pants off and ride the MetroLink around town.
Here's their itinerary, according to the group's Facebook page:
"Meet at Kayak's Coffee at 6. Board train at 6:35.
6:00PM - Meet at Kayak's Coffee near Skinker Blue Line stop.
6:25PM - Team Huddle.
6:35PM - Board train. Ride to Civic Center, confuse the crowd at Scottrade Center/Blues game.
7:08 - Reboard train and exit at Convention Center for after-party at Pi. Happy hour drink specials!
Tickets with transfers are $3.00. You are required to purchase a ticket for this event."
The group says it has decided to switch things up a bit this year.
"This year we are encouraging riders to mix it up and consider BOARDING IN PANTS, and to TAKE THEM OFF WHILE ON THE TRAIN. Imagine all of the fun conversations you will have with the person sitting next to as you come up with reasons for why you're dropping drawers."

About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, but at that point I was actually on the thin side, verging on underweight. I've been on medication since then and my last two blood tests came back normal, but I'm still having trouble losing weight. I've been eating 1200 calories a day and doing at least 30 minutes of cardio every day. I'm supposed to be losing 2 lb/week, but in the past month I've only lost 4 lb. Could the blood tests be wrong? Or could my thyroid be just barely normal, but still not normal enough for me to lose weight?

I get about one question a month from people asking where to buy a rake for a dry garden. I give them instructions on how to make one (HINT: for those of you who dabble in carpentry, there's a small niche market for selling these rakes at the major botanic/public gardens that have Japanese gardens).
My question, though, is what is the Japanese word for "rake"? Or is there a more specific word for the type of rake used for a gravel garden? GardenBerry |

Hi garde berry Kumade is the word. kuma = bear, de= hand . kumade is leaf rake or hard rake. ( in kanji ) < hard rake is raki, in Japanese text book :):) :)> I will send you copy of different designes of "samon yo kumade" for your reference by us mail. |

Thanks Mike! You'll have the chance to meet me on Saturday - I think we have a "date" to meet in the lobby of the hotel before heading off for the conference. Thanks for the information on the rake. We have in-house carpenters that make our rakes for us but I'm always getting asked "where can I buy one". I always say "make it yourself" but sometimes people just don't want to do it or don't know how. I want a bamboo broom, I just don't have any bamboo to make it from. If you can show me how, I'm sure I can find some bamboo around here somewhere.... Thanks again! GardenBerry |

I am creating a Japanese Style Garden around our existing ponds and we are using a lot of crushed stone and would like to find the directions or a place to purchase the Japanese dry rake for my garden |
Hello, I found your message thread while looking for a japanese rake. I have a japanese garden with gravel, koi pond and bamboo. I would like to ask if you would please share your details for making the gravel rake. Hopefully I will have all the material I need. I live near san francisco, and will share bamboo with you if you are close, Thanks in advance, Mike |
Looking to make the rake--Do you have a recommendation for the spacing and diameter of the tines? The gravel I have is about 1/4" diameter. Thanks, Ely |

If you want a copy of my design for a rake, you need to send me your email address. Otherwise, we used different sized dowel pegs, up to 1" diameter, spaced anywhere from 2" to 3" apart. It depends on the type of gravel you use, as well as the effect you are looking for. We have 2 different gardens and we use 2 different rakes to achieve different effects. Also, pea gravel needs a deeper tine than washed grit, as the pebbles tend to roll back into the line you just drew. Grit, which is squarish bits of granite, holds up much better. I've had gardens with both pea gravel and with grit and I prefer the grit. The raking pattern also lasts longer - pea gravel tends to wash back into the pattern if it rains. |
Hi all. I am going to write how to make sand rake and other usefull hints of Jpanese gardening for jgarden org's Japanese garden forum. Garden web don't give any credit to wrietr and any posting on GW belong to GW and it is not permanent. I don't want to spend my time to write where no one give me credit/recognize or not permanent place. Information(s) should be easly able to find when some need it. Since Jgarden org is non profit organization, jgarden org web site is the best place to keep informations. Since it is not paid job, I write only I have time. To fill empty space of plants listing. shurb listing, bamboo listing and many other topics. I am expecting to spend few years to fill emputy space of Jgarden.org information section. |

I started hormones today, somewhere around nine hours ago as I hit the "save your blog" button here and send this away to be forever etched into the colorful, soggy, tried-to-bleach-it-out-but-these-stains-aint-goin-nowhere history of the internet.
It's an interesting thing to change your life so completely, especially when change comes so quickly. I made the decision to transition on December 3, 2012 and now on September 3, 2013, I have finally begun the process of taking the medication I need to become somebody I can be happy with. I really only began the process of making it to this point on July 1, 2013. Two month is all it took to reach my goal. It seems silly that I stressed out about it for so long before deciding to take the plunge and see a therapist when I look back on it now but it's also a massive change. This is literally life changing, in a way that something big like finishing college or starting a new career can never be. I can go nowhere with one of those things, I can quit a job, but I will never be able to take back being a girly.
But a lot happened in those nine months. Tons of video games were released, many that I played, some that led to me making new friends or rekindling old friendships I thought were long over. I made new friends here on Giantbomb. New consoles were announced. I became so depressed over confusion and stress about my gender and the way I viewed myself and how everybody else treated me over it(they are finally starting to understand that I am serious, though!) that I felt the only option was to take my own life. I came reallll fuckin' close and the only thing that saved me was hesitation causing me to involuntarily stop what I was doing.
I wish I could say that I am genuinely happy now and it's all okay and my life is so much better, but really, not much has changed. Some of my friends are still toxic people that make me unhappy, a couple of people that I live with are still completely awful and seem to actively try to make me miserable... I wonder on a daily basis how many people give a shit about me and/or whether or not I'd REALLY be missed if I were gone. I am still very depressed, but I feel like that may not be the case for much longer. I've been completely over the moon all day. My life is changing. It's the first step on the road to something great. By the end of it I will have a new name, new gender, new sex, maybe a new home, maybe a new job, maybe new friends... I want my life to be something I can be happy with. And maybe, just hopefully, something I can be proud of.
So, uh... yeah. I kinda just wanted to tell the group of people that I've been sitting at the edges of trying to be a part of for years that I'm doing something huge! Follow your dreams or some shit!

Absorbs very quickly,light & quite thin consistency,smells great,love the packaging,but if your skin is seriously dry,flaky,you may have to get their Hemp Hand Protector instead,which is thick,rich,yet,doesn't smell that good,in my opinion.

I like the scent, but I don't find this hand cream moisturising. It absorbs in seconds, which is great, but afterwards my hands still feel dry. Would not repurchase.
Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from. This is a really hydrating hand cream that is hard to beat. It smells very earthy and fresh. Not greasy or oily. Saves my hands especially in the winter.
More reviews by AnnaThunderroad
Like the poster below me, I HATE hand creams because of the greasy feeling they leave you with, but since I do get dry skin on my hands, I decided to give this a try since it promised to be different. It is true that it does not feel like other hand creams. That nasty feeling doesn't happen, so that's a plus. It absorbs super fast and it doesn't feel like you've just applied hand cream. But, just like the lady below me, it felt like it actually dried my skin out even more! The scent is really special, and in the beginning I totally dug it. It's very unique and refreshing, can't really compare it to anything. But it's also a really overpowering scent that drowns out any other scents on your body, and it lingers on for the whole day. It's one of those scents that you find fascinacting at first, but with each use you get more and more tired of it. At least that's what happened to me. In the end it just started to smell medicinal to me. In any case, it didn't do the job. It is definitely NOT moisturizing. So I'll not repurchase -- in fact I'm struggling to finish the tube that I bought. I'm not a huge fan of The Body Shop in general, their products disappoint me a whole lot more than they excite me, so unfotunately I will have to add this to the list of disappointments. Meh! I'll give one lippie for the scent, one lippie for the pretty packaging ;)
First of all, I simply bought it for the Absinthe.
I do not enjoy hand cream, they make my hands feel gooey. With this hand cream, The cream sinks very fast and leaves no filmy surface. I also love the scent, it's leafy, slightly zesty and refreshing. However, they do not moisturize well (at least for me). I even feel like having drier palms than usual, isn't that the opposite of what the cream should do? Nothing disturbing though.
Nevertheless, I might buy this again for the scent. The scent stays for a long time and I found it very refreshing to the point where I sniff my hands a lot. Liking the tube design too.
*EDIT: The tube is actually fragile. It's made of thin metal-like material (like paint tube) which you can easily fold. Unlike any other durable and flexible material, eventually you will tear if it's folded for a long time. I put it in my bag all the time and one day it just leaked and smeared all over my bag :|

This does it's job as a moisturizer, but it doesn't go out of its way like the almond did. It spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. I also like the smell. *_* however, I won't repurchase this.
I bought this product yesterday. It lured my attention because of its interesting ingredient absinthe, which we drink as alcohol hahha :) If you don't like the smell of lemon cologne you may not like the smell of this product either; due to its smell's resemblance to a cologne smell. First of all it is paraben free, a really important advantage. Secondly, it doesn't leave a sticky, oily feeling on my hands. I just feel fresh and relieved. Many other hand moisturizers cause me to wait for my skin to soak up them .Finally, it softened my hands. These are my feelings about this product after 3-4 times usage. If anything different happens in long term, I will edit this review.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely loved this hand cream! As I hate hand creams that leave an oily residue, this one made it to the top list. My hands are not particularly dry and don't need extra moisture but I do like the smell of a hand cream to linger.
This cream smells like spring fields, a bit lemony too and surely fresh. And the smell lasts for at least two hours. My hands feel clean and soft without being sticky. And the price was really low, only 4€ over the counter. I also like the package, as it reminds me of old pastel paints.
I would definitely buy this one again.

This hand cream is supposed to be a lighter alternative to the Body Shop's other hand creams, for those who don't want their hands to feel greasy. It has a lighter, gel-cream consistency. Unfortunately, not only is this hand cream not moisturizing enough, my hands actually feel drier after using it - they feel tight, and definitely not moisturized. I'll stick with the hemp hand cream, which is super-moisturizing. Plus I'm not a fan of the fragrance. I would not repurchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The entire absinthe line has an amazing scent, and I wish TBS would expand that into body products because I like it so much. It is very herbal, earthy, and clean, also a bit more masculine, so if you're not into that kind of scent don't go near this stuff; the scent lingers, and it is pretty strong.
Unfortunately, the hand cream is not moisturizing enough for my hands. I have very dry hands. Because the product does not work for me, I would not repurchase, but if they expanded the line into body products I would buy those. I would recommend it only if you need a little moisture in your hands.

We have a crazy cliff behind our house that we don't know what to do with. It looks particularly unsightly now and is hidden a little more with plants once summer comes.
Any suggestions on what could be planted on a slope this steep? Dry sandy soil... We want to help stop erosion and also hide the unsightly roots of the trees coming up. Thank you!!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: hill/cliff that causes me severe unrest
Follow-Up Postings:
I've tried several times to follow your link, but only see a potted plant. Perhaps re-post? |
Go to the public library and borrow some gardening books on Rock gardens..that's the first thing that comes to my mind when I look at your pictures. With rock gardens, I wouldn't think that you'd have a lot of plants to buy. Maybe a few six packs of each chosen plant. You'd need to fill in with added gardening soil and compost I would think. Why not take a copy of the picture you posted to a good nursery or garden center and ask for some suggestions. I would think that you would need to fill in the area with gardening soil and compost. Ortho puts out some great gardening books, go to your local book store and look through them, maybe you'll get some ideas from them. Include both perennials and annuals. You will get instant color from your annuals but they don't come back year after year unless you buy plants that reseed themselves, which is my goal for next year. I don't have a slope/hillside to work with though. Posting here will help you get lots of ideas. The gardeners here are wonderful and you'll learn a lot. Most are very willing to share their knowledge and experience. Ask friends/neighbors and relatives to share some of their plants that you like. There's a good book called Pass-along plants that you might enjoy reading and it will be helpful. |

Bob Clearmountain has been the world's premier mix engineer for three decades — but Martin Scorsese still managed to challenge him with his ideas about how the Rolling Stones in concert should be presented.
As well as classic movies like Taxi Driver and Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese made his name as a rock film maker with the Band's concert film The Last Waltz. Last year saw him return to the genre with perhaps the biggest live band of them all: the Rolling Stones.
The band had already released a four‑DVD set documenting the Biggest Bang tour, officially the highest‑grossing tour of all time, so Scorsese's Stones movie risked appearing superfluous. However, Shine A Light was widely hailed as a triumph, and the associated double‑CD soundtrack sold well on both sides of the Atlantic.
Shine A Light is primarily a theatrical release rather than a DVD, and a rockumentary rather than a straight concert registration, with Scorsese's camerawork putting much other concert footage in the shade. The track listing is rather different from the Biggest Bang DVDs, containing many rarely-performed gems from the Stones' back catalogue. And in terms of audio production, the mix is tied to the film edit in a unique and revolutionary fashion.
Shine A Light was recorded and mixed by Bob Clearmountain, a legend in his own right, whose association with the Stones goes as far back as 1979. Having mixed a number of earlier live albums for the band, he assumed that he was on home territory and estimated that his part in the project would take no more than a few months. Instead, the project took up one and a half years of his life, and he found himself stretched into new areas by Martin Scorsese's insistence on an entirely untried and untested roving microphone‑on‑the‑camera perspective. Creating separate mixes for theatrical film release, Imax, DVD surround and DVD stereo, plus an entirely separate CD stereo version, Clearmountain ended up mixing the material up to 15 times, in half a dozen studios in Los Angeles, New York and London.
Shine A Light was recorded at the grand old Beacon Theatre in New York on October 29 and November 1, 2006. The second night supplied all concert material for the movie and the DVD, apart from Bill Clinton's speech, which was taken from the first night. The CD is also mostly taken from the second night, with three tracks added from the first.
"It was a pretty straight‑ahead recording," explains Clearmountain. "I worked with David Hewitt and Phil Gitomer of Remote Recording Services. Phil was dealing with the DAW system on which everything was recorded 24‑bit, 48kHz, with backups made to DASH 48‑track half‑inch digital tape. I simply used the microphones that the live PA guys used, which were very standard: Shure SM57 on the snare drum, Beyer M88 on the bass drum, Mick's vocals with a wireless SM58, guitars with SM57, and so on. There were 10 audience microphones, I don't remember which ones, probably mostly Neumanns: a couple on the stage, and the rest hanging in various places inside the theatre. I had brought some Apogee Mini‑MP mic preamps for Mick's vocal, snare, bass drum and the overhead mics. The Mini‑MPs are the best mic pres on the market, but nobody knows about them, and Apogee has stopped making them.
"The mics went into an on‑stage splitter box that fed the FOH, the stage monitors and the truck. In addition to my Mini‑MPs, Remote Recording Services had a rack of mic pres on stage and sent line level back to the truck, which makes for less noise and a clear top end. Unfortunately it's also awkward, because you have to communicate with someone on the stage about setting the levels. We ended up with about 72 to 80 channels altogether, including audience. I recorded everything flat, no effects. Once a song started, I tried not to touch anything. You don't want to change settings too drastically, otherwise it becomes a bitch to mix later on. I was fairly conservative with the levels, and mainly spent my time doing a monitor mix, with EQ and effects post‑recording. My monitor mix went to the film team, who were recording everything on a bunch of video machines. Everything was filmed, but these movie cameras have little video cameras in them, which are recorded to video tape that's used to view the rushes. These were recorded with my rough mix as a reference."
On returning to his Mix This! studio in Los Angeles, Clearmountain transferred all recorded material to his Pro Tools system, and during December and January he did what he called "preliminary mixes" of both the October 29 and the November 1 concerts in 5.1 and stereo, sending everything through his 72‑input SSL G+ series desk and pulling down the sample rate to 47.976k while mixing, because the movie editing was being done on an Avid system. "These were very good basic mixes that were meant as a guide so the film team had something to work with while editing. The live mixes I'd done were OK, but there's only so much you can do in a live situation."
Given Clearmountain's decades of experience and his track record with the Stones, he felt confident that these basic mixes would form a solid foundation to work from, and would be met with only minimal requests for tweaks and changes. However, Scorsese, editing the movie in New York, came back with a unique suggestion. "I do a lot of DVD concert mixing, and normally it's a rush thing and you're not working to a final picture edit. Instead you're working with a line cut of the images, which was produced during the live recording. You're watching the picture just to get a general vibe and a basic sense of where everybody is standing on stage, which then reflects in the placements in the mix. Shine A Light was different. Marty's direction was: 'I want to hear what I'm seeing on the screen. If the screen shows Ronnie's guitar, I want it to be featured in the mix, I want to feel what he's playing.' That means that you're mixing with a moving listening perspective: every time there's a full shot of Keith, for instance, his guitar goes to the centre.
"So I had to wait until they could send me the final cut, or something close to the final cut, of each song, and I would remix each song according to Marty's request, which was challenging to do! It meant using a lot of automation and I had to be careful that things didn't jump out so much that they started to sound unmusical. Because I was working on an analogue desk, I came up with a system that I called 'pan bus'. Instead of sending each instrument to the stereo bus, I sent each track that needed to be panned to fit the picture — Keith's and Ronnie's guitars, Mick's voice, Mick's harmonica, Bobby Keys' saxophone — to a multi‑channel bus off the fader. So Ronnie's guitar would be on bus 17, Keith's guitar on bus 18, and so on. These buses were patched as aux inputs into Pro Tools and assigned to an L‑C‑R bus output from Pro Tools, which came up on three subgroup channels on the SSL, panned L‑C‑R in both stereo and 5.1. So if Keith had to move to the centre, I used the Pro Tools automation to do this, drawing it in on the automation line. This was really cumbersome, but it worked well, and I could be very precise.
"The big challenge in doing these mic‑on‑a‑camera mixes was to give you the experience that you're standing on stage with the band, but at the same time to make sure it's not sounding ridiculous. I'd have to balance out what Marty was asking me, while also keeping a musical flow. I didn't really want people to notice it, but it was an interesting experience, because it really sounds like you are there, you are on the stage. We were mixing a movie, we were not mixing a record, so we treated it like a movie. I also took a lot of my cues from watching The Last Waltz. I was really impressed with how this was mixed — nothing extreme, but the way they used panning was really effective."
Just when Clearmountain, still at Mix This!, was getting the hang of this novel way of mixing to picture, he received a panic phone call from New York with some disturbing news: his new surround mixes sounded dreadful. It's not the kind of feedback the mix luminary is used to receiving. So what was going on? "Marty was editing and listening to my mixes on a regular THX Dolby 5.1 system, like a typical movie theatre. He said that they sounded really harsh and that there was no treble and it was all too mid‑rangey. I was like: 'What!? How can that be!?' I know my system well and the mixes sounded really good here. I'm using five Dynaudio BM15 speakers and a KRK S12 subwoofer. So I booked some time at the Sherry Lansing movie theatre at the Paramount lot here in LA, loaded a few of the mixes onto a DA88 tape, because that's what they had, and played them through their system. Sure enough, it sounded dreadful. Nothing but harsh upper mid‑range, no top, and very little bottom. I was wondering 'What the hell is going on?'
"It was a shock to me to find out that movie theatre speakers don't sound anything like home theatre speakers. I asked a lot of people, and many knew of it, but no‑one knew why, or everybody had different reasons. When people mix movies on mixing stages they're used to the speakers being voiced just like a movie theatre, and they adjust their EQ accordingly during the mix. They're not worried about the home theatre thing. But I was mixing on speakers that are voiced just like a home theatre system. In the end I hired a film mixing stage here in LA, and using an EQ plug‑in, I came up with an EQ curve that corrected my mixes so they sounded right on the film stage. After that I processed all my 5.1 film mixes with this EQ curve. Of course I got rid of that EQ again for the DVD."
To better be able to tackle the challenges of a novel approach to mixing, which required a lot of dialogue between Scorsese and Clearmountain, and the sonic incompatibility between traditional music studio and film theatre monitors, Clearmountain decamped to New York in the summer of 2007. He worked there for another six weeks on the 5.1 mixes at Battery Studios. During this and the previous stage he also did a few fixes to the material. "There are no overdubs, except for about four seconds of a solo that Ronnie wanted to fix. I also did a few minor edits, for example fixing a chord Keith missed just by cutting and pasting, things like that. But it's very minimal. I don't know whether people realise that most artists today spend weeks in the studio redoing things on 'live' albums. By contrast, virtually everything on Shine A Light really is live.
"Battery's desk was eight channels smaller than mine, and my own SSL had been maxed out, so to be able to work in 5.1 there I had to compress things down and rent in an SSL AWS900 for the surround returns. Once Marty was satisfied with these mixes, my assistant, Brandon Duncan, ran stems of all the mixes and we continued at Soundtrack, a film mixing stage in New York in September, for the final film mix, which I did with Tom Fleischman. We did these mixes on a large Euphonix System 5 digital console, fine‑tuning levels with Marty's direction. Each instrument had its own five‑channel stem, which included the panning. But there were some reverse shots in the movie, for which we used the Euphonix to switch the perspective of the drums and backing vocals 180 degrees, stuff which is kind of hard to do on an analogue desk."
In February 2008, Clearmountain went to Pacific Ocean Post in Santa Monica with mixer Ted Hall to prepare the DVD soundtrack, which involved re‑EQ'ing the movie 5.1 soundtrack and doing a fold‑down to stereo. The stereo mix allows home listeners without surround equipment to have a similar mic‑on‑a‑cam experience, but to achieve this, Clearmountain again had to negotiate some AV format idiosyncrasies. "Usually, folding down to stereo is done with a process called 'LT‑RT', which involves analogue Dolby Pro Logic encoding that was developed in the '80s and '90s, ie before digital. But, using that process, the audience recording ended up in mono and the whole stereo mix ended up sounding weird and mono‑ish. So I spent quite a bit of time doing a straight reduction from 5.1 to stereo. A little later Previously I had also spent a week in Toronto at an Imax stage, folding down the 5.1 mix to the Imax format, which only uses five channels and no LFE channel. So you have to mix the subwoofer signal in with the other five channels."
Clearmountain and Jagger spent a week in January 2008 at The Townhouse in London, doing a stereo mix for the Shine A Light double‑CD soundtrack. "We had to do a new mix for the CD version, because all the sonic close‑ups from the DVD stereo mix, with things moving around and getting louder for no apparent reason, make no sense without the picture. So I did a desk recall of the stereo mixes that I had originally done in December 2006 and January 2007; the fixes that I had since done in the DAW of course remained in there. Mick and I were remixing, really. He was pretty involved, not pushing faders up himself, but having very specific requests, like wanting more bass drum or less guitar. We talked in detail about things. I had to re‑EQ my original mixes because everything sounded so different, and this was a bit tricky, because the Townhouse had G‑series EQs, whereas my desk has E‑series EQs. I don't really like the G‑series EQ that much. In the end the CD mixes sound totally different from the DVD mixes, plus there are some extra songs on the CD which are not on the DVD."
A listen to the DVD and CD mixes certainly bears out the differences in sound, and, unsurprisingly, there are further idiosyncrasies. For example, on the European DVD release of Shine A Light, his stereo fold‑down mix isn't available, something that shocked Clearmountain. "That's horrendous, that's a terrible thing, because I was really adamant about that."
Scorsese's mic‑on‑a‑cam effect may well have contributed to the many positive reviews, but has remained largely unnoticed by critics. "I'm glad people haven't noticed," says Clearmountain, "because it should be part of the experience of the film and I didn't want to make it too obvious. But if you really pay attention it does become very obvious."
"There are several differences between mixing a live concert and a studio track," explains Clearmountain. "One, obviously, is the presence of the audience and ambience. If you want ambience on a studio track you usually have to add it, whereas with a live recording you're having a constant battle to make sure you can hear the audience reaction and that the music doesn't get too washed out by the ambience, especially if the PA was cranked up really loud, which it was with the Stones. You have more control with a studio recording, and things tend to be tidy and separated, and there are not as many mistakes. You also often are creating the arrangement, deciding that certain tracks don't work or are not necessary or adding an additional instrument or vocal.
"When mixing a live recording, you basically try to recreate the live experience, what it was like sitting in the audience, only better, because often things get lost in the PA. On Shine A Light I had a couple of slap delays over much of the mix, 100ms and 125ms using my Roland SDE3000 and panned left and right, something like that, and most things go through that in different amounts. It adds overall excitement and makes it sound less as if it was done in a TV studio and more like it was done in a big place. The songs were mixed one by one, because someone will change a guitar or an amp or there'll be a different keyboard. Too many things changed with each song to mix it all in one go. I don't even know whether that would be possible. Although each song was mixed separately, it was not like I started from scratch with each song. The drums are basically the same on each track, and the general sound also remained the same."
"Part of the challenge in mixing the Stones is that many of their instruments are concentrated in the upper mid‑range. Luckily, Mick Jagger's voice easily cuts through the guitars. You don't have to turn him up much to hear him. Mick kind of compresses himself, but I did use an 1178 on him, for just a little bit of compression. I also used the SDE3000 slap delays on Mick, and a little bit of Altiverb on a big Hall setting. The only reason for the latter was that when the song ends you push the audience mics up for the audience response, and this adds hall ambience to the voice. The voice is pretty loud in the PA and is picked up by the audience mics. Adding a little bit of reverb to the vocal and some slap delays during the songs obscured this difference. That was all with Mick. He's just dead easy to mix. I treated Keith's vocals more or less the same as Mick's, though the EQ would be different. His voice is a little bit harder to deal with because it doesn't cut through quite as well. Luckily the band was very quiet during his big song, 'You Got The Silver'.
"I also used a bit of 1178 compression on Christina Aguilera, and some desk EQ, adding treble I think, and a little bit of Digidesign Pitch to tune her vocals in a few places, very minimal. Her vocal was difficult, because the song she sang in, 'Live With Me', was very loud, and she had a wireless mic that sucked everything in that was on the stage, especially if you added a bit of compression, which made it 10 times worse! She has a bunch of mics that can be colour‑coordinated to what she's wearing, so she had to have that mic. No‑one used in‑ear monitors, so they had wedges, and this meant that spill was a problem on all vocal mics. When a singer wasn't singing I'd duck the mic signal right down on the SSL with the fader, using the automation, though sometimes my assistant would cut things in Pro Tools. Buddy Guy's voice was very easy to mix, just some compression and desk EQ, nothing special. I had an 1176 on Jack [White]'s vocals, and LA3As on the backing vocals. But in none of these cases did I use a lot of compression. I tend to ride the vocals quite strongly by hand with the desk automation.
"I don't use de‑essers. Instead, I have a patch on the SSL. I mult the vocal to the channel next to it, on which I'll roll out all mid‑range and bottom and boost around 7k as far as it will go. I'll then send the output of the fader into its own bus, and select a compressor on that channel to pick up on that bus, so basically it becomes a sort of loop in the channel. I put the compressor on fast attack and fast release, and link it to the original vocal channel, on which I turn on the dynamics. It works like a side‑chain on the compressor and it has the effect of a fast high‑frequency limiter, its threshold being controlled by the fader on the parallel channel. It's really effective, very fast, and it de‑esses very smoothly and much better than any other de‑esser I have ever used. Plus you can automate the threshold. It uses a lot of buttons and knobs, but once you see how it works, it's really simple and very effective. I used it on Keith's and Mick's vocals."
Guitars & bass: SSL EQ, Empirical Labs Distressor, Focusrite Red 3, Pultec EQP 1A3
"Mick played acoustic and electric, and Blondie Chaplin, one of the backing singers, occasionally played acoustic. Most of the acoustics had two DI outs which went to separate tracks. Getting all these guitars in there was a matter of panning and EQ. There was nothing else very specific. When you mix, you just do what's appropriate, and I often can't remember what it was. You just turn the knobs until it sounds right. You hear a guitar sound, and you think: 'OK, this frequency is going to conflict with the voice,' and you adjust it. That's all — no big secret!
"In the stereo spectrum I had Keith on the right and Ronnie on the left, the way they appear on stage to the audience. Depending on the song, I may have used some of the same slap delays and reverb on the guitars, but there was little or no compression on the electrics. I like to keep the dynamics on the electric guitars. I did probably use some Distressor compression on all the acoustics, and I had some Focusrite Red 3 compression on the bass. I also added some low frequencies, around 70 cycles, to the bass. On Buddy Guy's guitar I had a Distressor and EQ. He has a very bright, piercing guitar sound, and for Marty it couldn't be piercing enough. I probably used my Pultec EQP 1A3 for this. But when Mick heard it, he asked for a little less top end."
"The drums were pretty straightforward: a little compression on the snare drum and toms, and adding overall treble. You use the EQ to make it sound like drums, to make them sound powerful. Also, Charlie has a very dynamic bass drum, he varies its intensity quite a bit. He's like a jazz drummer, really. For rock, this is tricky to mix, because it may sound good in the verse, and then it jumps out or falls away somewhere else. So I took a sample of him because he has a great‑sounding bass drum, and mixed that in with his original bass drum using a sample plug‑in called Sound Replacer, which follows the dynamics of an instrument. You can specify that you want it to follow maybe 50 percent of the dynamics, so it works kind of like compression. That really helped a lot. It made sure the bass drum was always there."
The world première of Shine A Light took place at the Berlin Film Festival on February 7, 2008, but even then, there was no time for Clearmountain to rest on his laurels. At Scorsese's request he spent a considerable amount of 2008 flying around the world to check the equipment in each film theatre where the film premièred.
Finally, a whopping two years after the original concerts, Clearmountain is able to look back on a job well done. "Shine A Light really captures the Stones exactly as they play. And they did a great show. I must have seen that movie 150 times now, and I still enjoy it. It's a great experience." .
Bob Clearmountain is one of many top‑flight mixers who still rely on an analogue desk. "I've never done a mix 'in the box', so it's hard for me to comment on what that would sound like. I don't like sitting in front of a computer while I'm mixing, I like having a bunch of knobs in front of me. It's very uncomfortable and cumbersome for me to be opening drop‑down menus and plug‑ins. I'd rather be a plumber than do that! Having said all that, I do like digital. I always had problems with analogue, before I even heard digital. I'd be recording a great live band like Chic or Bryan Adams, and it would sound great during the take, and then the playback from analogue would be so frustrating because it sounded distant, sort of removed from what it was. I could never get the same excitement from tape as when the musicians were actually playing. Finally digital came along, and used with Apogee converters it sounded more live: what came off digital tape suddenly sounded the same as when the band had been playing. Especially now with the higher sampling rates, digital is really good.
"I simply use Pro Tools like a tape machine. I still start a mix by pushing all the faders up, and doing a rough mix, just to get an idea of what the song is about. Only after that will I sometimes solo individual parts, to hear what their contribution is. But I'll never start a mix by just working on the bass drum, or the guitars, or a song section, things like that. For me that's meaningless. I get lost. I can't tell what's going on. I have to hear things in context.
"I mix songs from beginning to end, and not in sections. I'll develop the mix until it is as good as I can get it without automation. After that I'll switch the SSL computer on, and usually the first pass into the automation will be doing the vocal, making sure it sits right in the mix. On subsequent passes I will ride things around the vocal, but I don't bring these in one by one, like some mixers do. My approach is much more random. You might call it stream of consciousness. People often ask me how I do it, but it's like trying to describe how I walk. I simply adjust what hits me at the time and try to make it sound as good as I can.
"One of the few things for which I do use the DAW automation is for vocal tuning, with Digidesign Pitch. It's a straight‑ahead pitch‑shifting plug‑in, and I apply it totally by ear and automate the changes. I find the more popular tuning plug‑ins too cumbersome, and they sound strange to me. And for the Stones project, I used the Pro Tools automation for the dynamic panning that was necessary, because there was not really a good way of doing that on an analogue desk. The other thing about using DAWs is that it's so much easier now to fix things than it was when we were still using tape. But I use few plug‑ins. I like Altiverb, but I treat it like outboard, hooking it up to an aux on my SSL and bringing it back up on my desk. I also use Waves X-Noise sometimes, if I there's a problem. And if I have to change the EQ mid‑song I may use an EQ plug‑in that I can automate."

Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Metro- St. Louis area. We are located around Maryville, IL foster homes.About Our Rescue Group:
I'm just a girl who loves animals! I rescued my first dog at 8 years old..she was a beautiful white german shepherd/samoyed. She licked my face and we were best friends for the last 13 years! I made a promise to her that I would try and help dogs that didn't have a home. My parents were very supportive and let me volunteer for several animal rescues and I even adopted my first horse at 19 from Longmeadow Rescue Ranch in Mo (I still have her!)Now im 27 and own my own business so I'm able to work from home a lot and spend time helping these babies but I guess you could say I have a bigger heart then wallet half the time! I like to rescue the ones that other rescues don't want. Just because they are your typical black labs or heartworm positive pitbulls..or dog aggressive bc they haven't had proper socialization- doesn't make them any less special in my eyes. I put them in great foster homes where they don't sit in a kennel their whole life. We actually treat heartworms- do surgeries- training you name it! I will take on parvo pups and sit with them on iv's 24/7 until they are healthy again. Whatever they need..I will do it! ..I have some amazing fosters that spend their own money to help these dogs and would do anything for them. There is so much behind the scene work that people don't get to see. I'll go to the pound and humanely euthanize a dying dog so it knows love before it passes..it's beyond emotionally draining to take on such critical dogs but I will fight for their life with everything I have!!
I know as a TEAM- WE can all help them...even if you can't foster..donating is helping them- sharing their picture is helping them! Everything we do is a team effort and I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of this!
Donate to Our Rescue Group...

Twice this season my lettuce bed has been eaten which is inside my greenhouse. I have to leave the door partially open for ventilation. Yesterday, I left it open with only a 2" gap which I wedge an old window screen between the door and the outside wall to block it off. 1st time I assumed it was a woodchuck because I left it less secure. I really don't think it is now because of the small opening and nothing was disturbed and it seemed secure. The wee beastie purposely left the parsley and luckily my seedling tomatoes were left untouched. Any ideas? I'm thinking of buying a trail cam. |

Whatever it is , I think it's an "inside job" LOL Sorry, it's 40 degrees and its raining again.. :-( Seriously though, make sure the little helper isn't living inside the greenhouse somewhere. |
I haven't ruled the inside job out just yet. Though there's been 2 weeks since the last heist was pulled. I'm suspicious about the back corner under the bench. Now I have to make time and get down under there and lift a board or two and see if I can find tunneling. In between the two robberies, I did construct an exact fitting screen door made of hardware cloth. But I got lazy the other day and used the window screen instead. |

I'm a screen painter and I have instructions on my website on how to paint a window screen that may be helpful. Use thicker acrylic paint and a dry stiff brush, like a stencil brush. Base coat with a pale color or with white. Dab or spread the paint on gently. Let dry between coats. Place your screen on a black trash bag to help you see what you are painting. See my website for more tips. I'd like to see pictures of the Christmas ornaments. |
