When Flickr updated its web app, it also updated the Android version of the app and, you know, it's really nice. I really like the way this looks. I want to give you just a quick overview here, so you can find your way around if you're using the Android phone or mobile device. So, up at the top there, where the lynda training icon is, there's a little down arrow, and I'm going to tap on that right now. And, there you'll see the different areas that we're used to on flicker.
You'll see sets, groups, favorites, photos of, and contacts. I'm going to tap on sets right now. And, here we have our different sets and we can motor through them. For instance, on the top set there, I'm going to swipe my finger from right to left. And we can see the different photos in the set. And then I'll swipe back from left to right to go to the beginning.
And then we have the other sets below it. If you've looked at other movies in the training, you may recognize some of these pictures. I'm going to swipe from the bottom upward. See our flowers, our equipment, our hiking, all that good stuff is right here. Now I'm going to tap on the camera icon, and that's in the upper right hand corner there, and here I can take a new photo or choose from the gallery either way. Tap on that icon again to close that.
And now I'm going to tap on the hard return button, at the bottom of the phone. And now we're in the menu area, so I'll swipe upward so we can see some of the other options that we have here. I'll tap on settings, here we have our notifications. We can determine our upload signs. We can enable or disable location services, and we can even sign out. I'm going to tap on the soft menu button in the upper left corner there, swipe downward to bring us back up to the top.
And I'll tap on the Lynda training icon to bring us back to our pictures. So there's an overview. I think they've done a nice job, it's very attractive. I think the images look great on the phone. And I'll talk in more detail about some of the other features in upcoming movies.

Wouldn't it be nice if scientific research would help us relax a little and ease our fears when it comes to parenting? You know, like how we (mostly) no longer believe in witchcraft thanks to our knowledge of physics. Instead, we get reports like this one from Graham A. Colditz, MD, DrPH at Washington University in St. Louis, stating that more than half of all breast cancer cases could have been prevented by healthy lifestyle choices made in adolescence and early childhood.

After Georgia had worked so hard to create a late-season run, the last thing it wanted was to let some of it slip away against a midweek opponent.
The Bulldogs took care of the business at hand as they downed East Tennessee State 7-4 on Tuesday in the final regular-season game at Foley Field. Georgia has won six of its last eight games going into the final weekend of the regular season.
WHEN: 6 p.m. today.
WHERE: Foley Field
TV: None.
RADIO: 960-AM The Ref.
RECORDS: Georgia is 29-22; East Tennessee State is 22-29.
PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUP: Georgia RHP Luke Crumley (2-2, 4.02) vs. ETSU RHP Kerry Doane (4-4, 4.24).
Heavy rain hit Athens on Sunday, which wiped out the baseball game between Georgia and South Carolina at Foley Field. The contest will not be made up because of Southeastern Conference rules.
A succession of prolonged rain storms swept through the area and put the scheduled 2 p.m. start time in doubt. The rain stopped for a while in the afternoon, but other storms were in the area and weather forecasts predicted an 80-100 percent chance of more rain.
Georgia's Joey Delmonico had taken more lumps than he had dished out through most of the season.
But the senior catcher with a sub-.200 batting average took out some frustration against South Carolina, saved his closer from a load of embarrassment and pushed Georgia to within a step of securing a spot in the NCAA regionals.
Alex Wood and Michael Roth played chicken for the better part of seven innings.
So when one of the starting left-handers finally blinked, it meant the difference in the game.
Wood gave up a seventh-inning solo home run off the top of the right-field scoreboard to L.B. Dantzler as South Carolina beat Georgia 3-0 on Friday at Foley Field. South Carolina scored all three runs of the game in the last three innings after Wood and Roth pitched dueling shutouts for the first six.
This weekend will be one of the busiest of the year on UGA's campus, highlighted by today's graduation ceremonies.
But amid all the festivities, Georgia's baseball team should have its mind fully focused on its biggest series of the year so far.
Two-time defending College World Series champion South Carolina comes calling at Foley Field with the Bulldogs looking to carry the hard-fought momentum from last weekend into another.
ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech took the season series against Georgia with an 8-6 win Wednesday in front of a crowd of 2,382 at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The Bulldogs won the opener at Foley Field 7-1 on March 20, but fell 4-3 to the Yellow Jackets at Turner Field on April 24.
The Yellow Jackets (30-19) scored a pair of two-out runs in the first off freshman David Sosebee, who saw his first action since April 17.
Heavy rains that moved through the Athens area Friday afternoon forced the beginning of the North Oconee-Pierce County playoff series to be moved back a couple of hours.
Game 1 of the best-of-three series is now scheduled to begin around 6 p.m. Wednesday at Olympus Park with Game 2 tentatively set for 1 p.m. on Thursday and the if-necessary game to follow.
The series was supposed to start with a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. on Wednesday with the if-necessary game at 1 p.m. on Thursday.
By the time the second round of the playoffs arrive, all the wannabes have packed up the equipment for the year leaving only teams playing well.
The step up in level of competition means a high probability of three-game series which puts a premium on pitching depth.
North Oconee feels it has an advantage in the arms race when it starts the second round of the Class AA playoffs today at Olympus Park.
Pete Nagel has traveled a long way in the past year.
The freshman right-hander came from one of the smallest high schools in Georgia but two weeks ago he pitched in one of the biggest college baseball parks in the nation at LSU.
"It's pretty crazy coming out of high school," Nagel said. "You're playing all these small-town high school teams and then the next thing you know, you're walking in to play LSU. You don't really grasp it until you realize, 'Wow, I just pitched against LSU in The Box.' That's an experience I'll never forget."

Vine Launches Online Profiles and Custom URLs
by Dale WrightTwitter's mini-video sharing app Vine has announced that it will start allowing its users to have an online profile for their account.
The service has so far been exclusively app-based, but has now rolled out to online profiles. Users will also be able to select their own vanity URLs, meaning they won't have to have the standard meaningless web addresses for their accounts but instead an address in the form of 'vine.co/USERNAME'. The feature was launched to verified users last Friday (December 20), but has only rolled out to general account holders today (December 23).
If you're interested in getting your own Twitter Vine online profile, head over to the site to sign up now. You'll have to already be a user of the Vine app though; the service isn't opening the feature for new users yet.
This new feature has been coming for a long time, and it will mean that it will be much easier to follow a user's videos that they've already posted. You'll be able to look back over a list of your friends' previous videos, similar to other social network profiles. At the moment, when a user posts a Vine, it's uploaded as a single video, with no feature to view their earlier six-second clips.
Vine has also announced that it will launch support for its app on Android 2.3 Gingerbread – available immediately. Users on the two years' old devices won't actually be able take videos using the app though, but they will be able to view all of their friends' clips and revine them to share with all their followers. It's not quite the same as being able to take your own Vine videos, but at least Android Gingerbread users won't feel like they're completely missing out on the party any more.

I live in Chagrin Falls, Ohio a beautiful area with a waterfall in the middle of town. During the summer you avoid this area because the "conelickers" come to town. They come to town, go to the ice cream shop and go see the falls, therefore the "conelickers". I am a stay at home mom to a wonderful 16 year old daughter and a great 14 year old son. I have been very blessed. I am also trying to adopt a 4 yr. old little girl who is in foster care, and our social services in the county are awful, but we are fighting to get her. I am in charge of our neighborhood Gourmet Club. We have approximately 30 couples in the club. We meet 3-4 times a year and the recipes are usually theme related (chinese, mexican, bbq, Kentucky Derby, etc.) My passions are my kids, food and I love dogs. I have two dogs, both rescued. They are an american eskimo and a border collie. They are very high energy, but greatly loved.
I make a dinner every night and hubby doesn't like leftovers, so those go to my elderly mom. I love seafood. I love comfort foods like pork chops and mashed potatoes, roast beef and potatoes etc. We eat out on Friday and Saturday nights. It could be the local diner for fish fry or a great lobster dinner in many of the great restaurants around here. You could say I am obsessed with food and recipes. My husband told me I don't know why you look at all those recipe, you could write a cookbook and it would be a best seller. I think I'll keep him;)

In the previous blog post on developing AppFabric Applications, we showed you how to create a simple AppFabric application. This app was an ASP.NET web site that used a SQL Database. In this blog post, we'll use the AppFabric Application Manager to configure, deploy, and monitor that application. Here is a breakdown of what we will cover:
Before we can do those things, we'll sign into the AppFabric LABS Portal at https://portal.appfabriclabs.com using our Live Id. Since this is a limited CTP, only approved users will have access to the service, but all users can try the SDK and VS Tools on your local machines. To request access to the AppFabric June CTP, follow the instructions in this blog post.
After signing in with an approved account, we click on AppFabric Services in the bottom left corner and then select Applications from the tree view.
Now we can start with our first task, updating the connection string to the SQL database that is used by the AppFabric Player app. Users of the AppFabric June CTP are provided with a SQL Azure database at no charge. We will use this database. To get access to our SQL Azure connection string, we'll click on the database in the main panel and then click View under Connection String. The resulting dialog lets us copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Now we're ready to go to the Application Manager. We select our namespace from the main content area and then click Application Manager on the ribbon.
We can also reach the Application Manager directly by using a URL in this format: https://yournamespacehere.appmanager.appfabriclabs.com.
We click on AppFabricPlayer to manage that app.
Then we'll click on Referenced Services in the Summary area.
Then we'll click on the VideoDb link to configure the database. Now we will update the connection string using the value we copied earlier. Note that the DatabaseName and the ServerConnectionString fields are separate so you will have to remove the database name from the value before pasting it in.
Before Data Source=myservername;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User ID=myuserid;Password=mypassword
After Data Source=myservername;User ID=myuserid;Password=mypassword
We update both fields and select Save.
Next we will create and populate the SQL table that this app expects in the database. We'll go to https://manage-sn1.sql.azure.com/ to do that. We login with the same credentials that appear in our connection string.
We'll click on New Query from the ribbon and paste in the SQL script below. We execute the script and the database is initialized.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AppFabricVideos] ( [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Title] [nvarchar](256) NOT NULL, [Description] [nvarchar](2048) NOT NULL, [Uri] [nvarchar](1024) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_AppFabricVideos] PRIMARY KEY ([Id] ASC) )
INSERT INTO [dbo].[AppFabricVideos] ([Title] ,[Description] ,[Uri]) VALUES ('ServiceBus HTTP / REST API' , 'Recently the ServiceBus team released some great new support for Queues and Topics, allowing you to access queues via a client library as well as HTTP. In this episode, I am joined by Will Perry, a tester on the ServiceBus team, who shows us how you can use the HTTP API with ServiceBus queues.Ron…' , 'http://media.ch9.ms/ch9/8f5a/e7dea0d6-f591-412b-8e75-9f0c012b8f5a/AppFabricServiceBusHTTP_low_ch9.mp4') INSERT INTO [dbo].[AppFabricVideos] ([Title] ,[Description] ,[Uri]) VALUES ('Announcing the Windows Azure AppFabric June CTP' , 'Today we are exciting to announce the release of the Windows Azure AppFabric June CTP which includes capabilities that make it easy for developers to build, deploy, manage and monitor multi-tier applications across web, business logic and database tiers as a single logical entity on the Windows Azure Platform.' , 'http://media.ch9.ms/ch9/9a4b/43794581-3dba-410a-bb0c-9f03017b9a4b/AppFabricTVCTPLaunch_low_ch9.mp4')
Now that the database is ready we can deploy and start our application. We go back to the Application Manager and navigate to the AppFabric Player's Application Page. From this page, we'll click on Deploy Application and then accept the dialog.
Once the application state changes to Started we visit the site. To do this, we'll click on Endpoints in the Summary area and then select the app's Published Address link.
Now that the app is running we are able to monitor important activity. To simulate activity we wrote a load test that hits the web page once every second or so. If we go back to the application page and click on Monitoring in the Summary area, we'll see some interesting metrics.
These metrics are aggregated at the application level, but if we drill down into the ASP.NET Web Application we can see more granular metrics. We click on Containers in the Summary area and then select Web1, which represents our one and only service group. We then click on PlayerWeb, which represents our ASP.NET Web Application. We then click on Monitoring from the Summary area.
Our breadcrumb bar now indicates that we have navigated into the PlayerWeb ASP.NET Web Application. From this view, we can see exactly how many times each file in the web application has been requested as well as the average request latency for each.
And just like we saw at the application page, we can expand each row to display a chart to see how each value has changed over time.
That's it. In this post we showed how to configure, deploy, and monitor and AppFabric application using Application Manager. In future posts, we'll cover troubleshooting, extensibility, and more. Stay tuned.

It is ever fresh, flourishing, and excellent; and under the gospel it is dispensed in a more clear, spiritual, extensive, and powerful manner than of old" (Brown of Haddington). Hence is derived the name given to the latter portion of the Bible. (See TESTAMENT .)

Half Way There
NFL owners approve new labor agreement; players must now decide.
NFL owners huddled in Atlanta have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a new ten-year labor agreement.
"There is an urgency to this. We want to have a full 2011 season, and that includes the 4 pre-season games, and we're up against the wall," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said after the Thursday evening vote.
NFL owners call the tentative deal fair for everybody.
"In the end, it was worth all the angst and anxiety, nervousness over the last several months, because if you can come up with a 10 year labor agreement in sports and get to football and not worry about it for 10 years, it's great," said Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie.
The ball is now back in the players' hands.
NFL Players Association reps spent the day discussing remaining issues, among them, how to handle workmen's comp claims and the resolution of three pending court cases including an anti-trust lawsuit brought by ten players.
With an agreement by NFL players, the NFL says team facilities would open on Saturday.
The 32 teams could then sign draft choices and their own free agents before the general free agency period opens on Wednesday.
Still, before the locks can come off, the NFL players need to say "yes".
Until then, the season remains on hold.

How Does Your Bindery Grow?
March 2000With state-of-the-art finishing equipment, Mounce is also able to meet the industry's ever-growing "need for speed." He says with presses running faster, the bindery has to be able to keep up.
"Investing in the bindery is a must," Mounce contends. "It's all about quality. You must have quality in prepress, press and bindery—all aspects of the business. If you invest in the front end, you have to keep up in the back end. You can't afford to have the bindery botch a job."
Opportunity Knocks
Sometimes opportunity knocks. Sometimes that knock is subtle; sometimes it knocks the door down.
The latter is the case with Accu-print, of St. Petersburg, FL, for which the soft knock of interest—in a new, high-tech bindery product—turned into a surprising financial opportunity.
"The drums are beating," says Vice President Ron Hamburg, of the arrival of Accu-print's new Mathias Bauerle miniature folder, which has allowed his firm to enter the pharmaceutical insert niche. "They're announcing the news: 'Look out! Accu-print is in the neighborhood!' "
That neighborhood is Florida's West Coast, and Hamburg believes he's the only printer in the area doing miniature folding. He says he bought the folder a year ago to add to his in-house capabilities, which consisted mostly of saddle stitching. He's now "gleaning" through miniature folding jobs, but, he notes the machine has also brought some unexpected customers knocking at his door.
"Smaller printers are outsourcing their work to us. Several local [franchise] printers are bringing us their regular folding work. They'll drop off fold jobs of 20,000 to 30,000. The machine offers very quick turnaround, and that's what everyone wants these days. Plus, as a short-run color shop, it gives us other opportunities to pick up work from local printers. We're doing a real good business with this machine."
Features such as an electronic double sheet detector (using fiber optics) and computerized automated adjustments provide such efficiency that, according to Hamburg, there's "almost nil" spoilage. And spoilage of any kind is a costly proposition, especially if an entire job is ruined.
"If a printer is going to produce a job that is costly in the front end, why have it torn up in finishing? You work too hard on a job in prepress and on press to have it ruined in the end process," he says, emphasizing that it pays to have good equipment.
For Accu-print, that equipment is a miniature folder—one that continues to bring niche opportunities knocking at his door.
Phoenix Communications
Quality in the Last Phase
Customers are not going to beat a path to your door because of your bindery, says Cary Rosenthal, president and CEO of Phoenix Communications, an Atlanta-based, high-end, sheetfed printing operation in the Master Graphics family. "The bindery is the last major phase of the printing process. It's very important that it has the ability to produce quickly and with quality."
As the last phase in the printing chain, the bindery's delivery of a job becomes critical, Rosenthal explains, emphasizing that this is where the equipment's quality and efficiency are key.
"The industry has already focused on prepress and the pressroom, but now the demands of the marketplace tell us we must get the product through the bindery as quickly and efficiently as possible," he says. "You can't risk having inefficient equipment in the bindery that will make jobs look shabby in the end."
No longer standing in the shadows of high tech, Rosenthal says today's finishing equipment is being designed with the latest in automation. And if printers want to grow their overall businesses, he advises that they keep up with their customers' demands for speed and efficiency by automating and modernizing their binderies.
"With time being constricted and condensed, an efficient, automated bindery is a must for all printers," he says. "With all the bells and whistles of prepress and press, you can't have a bindery hold you up."
To keep up with the speed and efficiency of its prepress and pressroom areas, Phoenix Communications has invested in back-end automation with equipment that includes: Consolidated and Muller Martini saddle stitchers; a Muller Martini perfect binder; a Wire-O binder; an assortment of six MBO and Baum folders; and (the most recent installation) a new Polar cutting system—which Rosenthal says has already shown major improvements in speed (a 200 to 300 percent increase, he enthuses) over traditional guillotine cutters. Plus, there's a new Stahl saddle stitcher and three Stahl folders en route, which will replace some of the older equipment.
By making high-tech bindery investments, Rosenthal is able to keep pace with the speed and efficiency of his prepress and pressroom. For example, Rosenthal cites the Polar cutter's ability to preprogram and recall programs, which he says saves valuable time and money.
But investing in back-end automation also provides savings in such areas as operator labor and safety. Rosenthal points out that the cutter's automatic jogging and auto stacking features keep workers from bending over, and there are a multitude of user-friendly devices and safety features incorporated into the system's design.
While modern, automated equipment might not have customers beating a path to Rosenthal's bindery door, he admits that a job well done—from start to finish—does keep them coming back for more. And that's what growing a bindery is all about.
When Investing, Don't Overlook The Bindery
(Editor's Note: The following Q&A article was conducted with Hans Max, president of MBO America.)
PI: How are current automation advancements affecting the bindery?
HANS MAX: Automation in general addresses printer concerns such as fast turnaround, short-run setup times and labor costs, all of which impact a printer's competitive capabilities. These factors have helped facilitate more computer application to a variety of bindery equipment, including folders.
MBO's extensive market research vis-à-vis automation has resulted in the Perfection folder with the patented, computer-enhanced RAPIDSET makeready system. This MBO exclusive is the only marble-less folding system wherein an operator can select his comfort level as it pertains to his knowledge of folding. For example, it's common today to bring someone into the folding operation who has very little print or binding experience.
With even marginal computer literacy, the beginner level of the RAPIDSET displays full setup instructions and guides the operator as to fold roller settings and the number of papers to place under the calipers for each fold roller.
This aspect can be time-consuming, even for the experienced folder operator. No guesswork results in faster setup and less waste. The more experienced operators find the operator-friendly electronics can result in folding accuracy down to 1/10 mm. Some commercial printers' customers have strict tolerances; not having the technology could cause some to turn work away.
MBO RAPIDSET is preprogrammed with 65 standard folding impositions and has memory capability for 250 additional customized folds; even gatefold production guesswork is eliminated.
This kind of automation is not just for big shops. The ease with which previous jobs can be recalled and reproduced, coupled with reduced setup, increases the ROI. Furthermore, this folding system is engineered for sheet control, from start to finish. When you can control high-speed folding you can dramatically impact productivity!
PI: Aside from the advantages of one-stop shopping, what other benefits does an in-house bindery offer a printer?
MAX: For years now, those printers that have invested in bindery equipment did so for a variety of reasons, including improving profit margins and overall productivity. Printers gain more control over a job by having bindery equipment in-house, which should result in better customer service.
Depending on which bindery equipment is brought in-house, it gives the printer the opportunity to offer services such as laminating, indexing/tabbing, perfect binding, diecutting, ink-jetting, gluing, etc., to help diversify the printer.
PI: What types of finishing equipment provide a printer with the best ROI?
MAX: In a recent industry survey, paper folding is the most popular bindery function among commercial printers and in-plants. Today, folders can not only produce an endless variety of folds, but also can incorporate gluing, perforating, slitting, etc. Folders can be modified with components like a pre-slitter shaft among other parts for the purpose of producing time-perforating and time-slitting creative mailers. Folders can also work in-line with bundling and baling machines for automated pressed, bundled and counted packages in one-, two- and three-up production.

The food was good, but they serve their sushi warm. It wasn't awful, but definitely not my preference.
What Faith S. said about the AYCE membership ... she's right. That's a good deal, and you WILL stuff yourself. Is Tokyo Diner getting any Michelin stars in...

I would never want to be without this rose. It gets soooo many blooms that are HUGE. It's supposed to have a nice smell - but I don't notice any. Does anyone else notice fragrance on your Valencia?

It's an amazing rose,Diane. The flowers last for weeks!!! Carol |

Thank you, Carol, for info. on Valencia rose. Sometimes the soil's chemistry can affect a rose's scent. My soil is alkaline clay, pH of 7.7, and Mary Magdalene smells GREAT here - but Niels in Denmark, acidic clay, thinks it's light scent. Early summer I put acid fertilizer on Mary Mag. and her scent went away. I had to scrape off the acid, and watered her with my alkaline tap water, pH of 8, to get her fabulous frankincense back. |
I can see why you love it, the blooms are delightful. What's the pink rose in the background in the second pic? |
Very nice! I've always thought Valancia was such a beautiful rose, but I'm afraid it would be too tender here in the ground (I'm assuming you grow yours potted??) Also, unfortunetly, I don't have the best luck with HTs in general...I'm so jealous of your pics!!!! Tammy |

Strawberry Hill - that's interesting. I grow mine in potted soil and add vermicompost and tea (worm that is). I have no idea if that would be acidic??? Krista - I knew someone would ask me that!! I can't remember - it was before I used name tags, and before I knew what I was doing with overwintering them. So it might be one that died over winter. Now I have 100% success rate. I think it might be Betty White |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Thu, Nov 1, 12 at 23:51
Actually, I'm not sure what rose it is. But Betty White is an amazing rose too!!! Tons of gorgeous blooms. I always want to have these two roses. Thanks, Tammy!! Yes, I grow mine in pots and overwinter them in my 3 car garage (two cars inside). I have 43 roses, but can fit up to 50 roses. I'm getting more this year!!! If I didn't grow them in pots, my selection would be vastly different, and I LOVE hybrid teas!! |
That's yummy, Carol! |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Sat, Nov 3, 12 at 14:28
Thanks, Seil!! Betty White (not sure if that's the one you meant) has really, really good scent. Ahhhhh. Carol |
Love your Valencia! One of my favorites also--but I don't remember one way or another whether it is fragrant. Tammy, you ought to be able to grow Valencia in your Zone 7. I grow it, in the ground, in my Zone 6 Kansas--no special protection in the winter although sometimes some of my neighbor's oak leaves get blown around some of my roses. Valencia is a bit slow on the re-bloom here in Kansas (I don't know why), but when it blooms, I forgive it its tardiness--in fact, I can no longer remember it was ever tardy. The blooms last for a loooong time. Kate |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Mon, Nov 5, 12 at 14:12
Maybe the cooler weather here helps - rebloom is fast. One of the best roses there is IMHO. :) We get hail about 3 times in the summer each year and Valencia never gets bothered by the hail. Carol |
- Posted by Karolina11 6a (My Page) on Wed, Nov 7, 12 at 22:06
Absolutely gorgeous! Glad I have one on order for the spring - can't wait to get it after seeing these photos! |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Wed, Nov 7, 12 at 23:38
Yeah!!! The substance of the petals is fantastic. Everyone who sees it here falls in love with it. Carol |

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 (49-1) <A psalm for Asaph.> The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof: | 1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. |
2 (49-2) Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty. | 2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. |
3 (49-3) God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him. | 3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. |
4 (49-4) He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people. | 4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: |
5 (49-5) Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices. | 5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice." |
6 (49-6) And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge. | 6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. "Selah" |
7 (49-7) Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God. | 7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God. |
8 (49-8) I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight. | 8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me. |
9 (49-9) I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks. | 9 I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, |
10 (49-10) For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen. | 10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. |
11 (49-11) I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field. | 11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine. |
12 (49-12) If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. | 12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. |
13 (49-13) Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats? | 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? |
14 (49-14) Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. | 14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, |
15 (49-15) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. | 15 and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." |
16 (49-16) But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth? | 16 But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? |
17 (49-17) Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee. | 17 You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. |
18 (49-18) If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker. | 18 When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers. |
19 (49-19) Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits. | 19 You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit. |
20 (49-20) Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son: | 20 You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son. |
21 (49-21) These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face. | 21 These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face. |
22 (49-22) Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you. | 22 "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue: |
23 (49-23) The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God. | 23 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God." |

A few days ago FiercePharma, which bills itself as the "pharma industry's daily monitor,"
I found myself in London a few weeks ago, and stopped by the offices of NICE, Britain's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, to dig deeper into why Sovaldi costs more in the US and to learn what recommendations NICE was making for Sovaldi—information that might be useful for reporters stateside. NICE conducts cost effectiveness analyses of new drugs and makes recommendations to the National Health Service about which drugs offer enough therapeutic value to warrant coverage by the health service. Since 2000, NICE has appraised over 500 healthcare technologies and has approved almost 80 percent of them including those okayed for restricted use. The Institute's technology appraisals are binding on NHS doctors, hospitals, and primary care facilities, since the drugs are paid for out of the public purse. NICE's clinical guidelines, which offer guidance in a specific therapeutic area, are not binding but most doctors follow them. The public can always pay privately for a drug NICE doesn't approve for public funding. The Institute is currently considering whether Sovaldi will be approved for public funding by the National Health Service. The decision process involves input from patient groups, academics, providers, and the drug makers, and the Institute is expected to issue a draft guidance this month. (Draft guidance typically contains provisional recommendations for whether or not a technology should be funded and under which clinical conditions.) A final decision is expected by October. In the meantime, the National Health Service in England has agreed to pay 19 million pounds ($32.3 million) to treat with Sovaldi some 500 patients who have acute liver failure and who are waiting for a liver transplant. In other words, the drug is being limited to the sickest patients in Britain. That's essentially the same recommendation made this spring by the California Technology Assessment Forum, a group funded by insurers.

I prefer it for DD purposes really. Engage replied already. Base kit is cheap! But LOT of welding..probably can't do that..might but I'd want my own shop again. |
The pricing is awesome. I can't decide between the weld kit or install kit. I can just by my own welder and turn the garage I'll have into my shop. Haha

My Tootles, My Elle
Well my little girl, my first baby, turned three a month ago. How did that happen?! So much has changed in the past year. Not only with Elle but also with our family. A new brother, a new home in Denver, preschool…so much change and for the most part, she's done well with it. Probably much better than me. It's hard not to squeeze her and give her a big kiss on the cheek when you're near her…I'm sure most of you feel that way about your little ones.
When did my little toddling toddler turn into an expressive, high energy, pink-loving, lipstick/makeup/fingernail polish- loving, bug loving, Ipad/TV/book addict and yes, a little big of a drama queen?
Two was SO much fun. It will be a year that I will always cherish. From the constant hugs, to laughs, to new words and a bigger vocabulary to excitement about everything, I loved everything well mostly everything (we did have tantrums) about two. Three on the other hand is proving to be a little above my parenting skills but more on that later. This is about two. When Elle was turning one, I wrote a quick little summary about my favorite memories and things about that first year so since I've become terrible at writing in the baby book, I'd thought I'd share them here.
I love hearing the pitter patter of your little feet running into our room in the morning.
I love how you never meet a stranger. You have no whims about saying hi to other kids or their parents and telling them something special about your day.
I love that you know my real name and that you know how to say your formal name – which I never taught you – and that love you to tell people, "that's my mommy. Her name is Jennifer. That's my baby brother. His name is Reid. Say hi Reid!"
I love you how you have to do the same three things before going to sleep: I have to pretend to do your makeup, then little piggy and then tell you everyone who loves you
I love the funny ways you pronounce words like "Stool" is sootle
I love how you ask if I love something just so you can say, "Me too."
I love how you tell everyone you meet about your best friends, the triplets.
I love how you love to wear dress up and accessorize your clothes
I love how everything has to match
I love hearing you say, "mom, I love you." out of the blue
I love hearing you play pretend
I love how you call every bug cute and give them silly names like friendly and lovey
I love how polite you are, saying excuse me and thank you without a thought and saying, "Sorry brother" when you accidentally knock him over or something
And the list goes on and on but I very special and blessed to be my little girl's mama. This has been a year that I'll always cherish.
More Love...Less Time
I've been struggling to figure out how to balance writing about all the crazy things that go on having two kids - I think about writing, I want to write, but at the end of the day, my mind is shot. What is left of my energy at the end of the energy goes into catching up with what friends have been doing online or decrompressing with a TV show if I can even squeeze that in.
It's funny to think back how different things were 8 months ago before Reid was born. Looking back at my blog posts I think, boy I had WAY too much time on my hands. Some of the things I pondered seem silly now but hey, I was just living life and trying to do the best for my family. That's something that hasn't changed: I'm still trying to do my best as a mom; make the right choices; enforce the right choices. That's tough with a willful 3-year-old and a curious dare devil baby.
Do I make my baby food again? Well, I try. Do I always apply sunscreen? No, but I try to make myself remember. Do I always do a bath every night? No, but I make sure I do if they look dirty or smell dirty. Ha! What have I given up on? Well, I let my daughter win the clothes battles...if she wants to wear her princess dress out to brunch so be it.
I read something the other day that really made me sit back and think about the time I have with the kids. I think it was something like, "Right now is your child's childhood. Make it count." So in between my struggling to get places on time, juggling bottles and snacks, I've been trying to make sure there are some good, playful memories in there. So far it's working - just need to keep reminding myself of this!
Alphabet First Birthday Party: A to Zachary
At a 3 am feeding when Baby Z was three weeks old, I had an epiphany. The theme for his first birthday party would be A to Zachary. Though deliriously tired, I somehow remembered this lightning bolt idea and almost a year later, we had an alphabet birthday party for our little boy.
The party was full of family, fun and smiles. But I know what you guys are here for. Pin-able party pictures! Without further ado...
I used a Cricut to cut a lot of letters for this party, especially for this sign in on our front porch (yes, I realize now that the C is upside down!). I also had a silohuette made on Etsy of my sweet little boy (I used this on the invites too).
I made this wreath years ago (for Jennifer's baby shower for Elle!), and I update it for the seasons or parties that I host.
Nic and I worked together to melt down old crayons and pour them into a silicon letter mold. These crayon favors were a bit more fragile than I had hoped, but were fun to make.
This is one of my favorite things about entertaining at our new(ish) house. I can WRITE ON THE WALL! I have horrible penmanship, but chalk is SO forgiving. I fully recommend sidewalk chalking your house for a big party impact (test an area first to make sure your chalk will wash off).
More letter decor. The Lego letters were a last minute addition to hold down the tableclothes in the wind. Grampy and Nic had fun putting those together the morning of the party.
I used letter cookies from Trader Joe's for Z's name and filled a cookie cutter with sprinkles for the 1. Then I filled the ring around the cake with more sprinkles! Inside, this is a funfetti cake.
BabyBetas Reese and Elle seranade Z!
Z enjoying his personal, dairy-free funfetti smash cake!
Happy family celebrating our birthday boy.
A MommyBeta Adventure with Drazil Kids Tea
You folks haven't heard much from us MommyBetas lately due to our new adventure of caring for two little kiddos. Boy, they're definitely a handful! We were excited when Drazil Kids Teas reached out to us to take a Drazil Kids Tea Adventure featuring their new teas that are available in the Northern California region at Nugget Markets, Wholesome Goods, Oliver's Markets, G&G, The Nature Shop, New Leaf Market and Amazon.com.
Drazil Kids Tea is a blend of herbal teas infused with real fruit juices and comes in a convenient single serve box. The tea is gluten-free, naturally caffeine-free and has 35% less sugar, no added sugar, antioxidants galore, and numerous vitamins and minerals.
We immediately thought "tea party!" What a fun time this would be. You can imagine all the sweet thoughts going through our naive, fried mommy brains of our sweet kiddos on their best behavior, sipping tea with their napkin in their laps as they nibbled healthy snacks.
Well our tea party was definitely an adventure with each of us mommies being outnumbered 2 to 1! We did manage to get them to sit down for a bit to have a snack and sip the teas. The teas were in fact a hit - the kids loved them. The adventure was more of us mommies playing referee than sitting down to a civilized, peaceful afternoon but what can you expect?!
It was a fun, rare afternoon where Nathalee, Alex and I were able to get together. We chitchatted in 5 second thought patterns in between referreeing the kiddos, managing potty breaks and diaper changes, that had to be planned a month in advance. We were grateful for the time together and the fact that over the two hour span our kiddos did manage to get some yummy healthy snacks and some yummy tea thanks to Drazil Tea Kids.
Here's the nutritional breakdown of the tea:
50 calories (compared to 100 calories in a regular berry 100% juice product)
Contains 46% juice
Carbohydrates: 15g
A big thanks to Drazil Kids Tea for giving us a great reason to get together.
Note: We were compensated and provided product from Drazil Kids Tea but our opinions in this piece are our own.


text: Hello everyone. This is my second time here. It's been awhile. My first and last post was back in January. In January I was all set and ready to go on my weight loss journey. Well it didn't happen. Instead I've gained about 10lbs. I'm so upset and depressed now. I really want to lose weight and be healthier. I already have a chronic illness, Crohns Disease. I had an Illeostomy surgery in February of 09 and at that time I weighed 129, only because I was so ill. After the surgery I began to feel better and I could actually eat again. I enjoyed food a little too much:( I felt so great last summer. Anyway, now it's over a year later and I've put on over 70lbs. I don't even know where to begin. I have started walking daily this week. I'm trying to watch what I eat but I'm one of those "comfort eaters". Sorry this is so long. I need support and it's hard for me to accept that. My short term goal is just to get under 200 for now...but my long term goal is to weigh 140-150. Thanks for listening.

The whole point is to help students grow
We have national champions in our midst. In fact, this team has won nine bowl competitions out of the last ten. And every other school in the country is out to beat them. Meet the grass gladiators of the Turf Club at Iowa State.
How do they do it? Simple, they're willing to do whatever it takes to keep in championship form. They meet at prestigious golf courses to get some hands-on training. They invite guest speakers to meetings to reveal the latest techniques in turf. They even network with top golf course superintendents at conferences across the United States.
Okay, it doesn't exactly sound grueling. Actually, it sounds quite fun -- not to mention that it also gives them a leg up in a career they'll love. That's why Iowa State offers 800 clubs that span any interest, any field, any major. And like the Turf Club, these clubs are recognized as the finest in the nation.
In the end, the whole point is about students meeting new friends, exploring new fields, discovering themselves and growing into the people they were destined to become.
But let's be honest: the winning part feels pretty awesome too.

I hope I can explain my issue well enough to get some good advice!
The foyer in the house I am building is 10' wide, and 11' long. The wall height is 11', but the ceiling is groined to 14'. The door end has a 8' high double mahogany door with an arched transom light above. Four sconces are spec'd by the architect for the foyer. I would like to be able to brightly illuminate the room, and direct the eye to the groined ceiling. My inclination is to use uplight sconces supplemented by a 60W table lamp on the reception table. 1st Question- how many Watts should each sconce produce at an installed height of 7' in order to light the ceiling and provide ample lighting below? 2nd Question- Is my proposed installation height of 7' correct? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're thinking about incandescent or halogen, quite a bit > 200watts. If you're willing to consider LED, you have many other options. For example, you could have LED trim molding. |
Thanks David. I am using LED in the recessed, and would LOVE to use it in trim uplight. I will search the archives here to try to find more info on that application. |
LedFolio makes LED trim molding in lengths of 2', 4', 6' and custom sizes. www.ledfolio.com There are other possibilities |

NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations - page 6
hong kong health care workers leery of h1n1 vaccine risks of the swine flu vaccine "time constraints mean that clinical data at the time when pandemic vaccines are first administered... Read More
2Oct 16, '09 by CuriousMeQuote from DelainaI was given a handout from the FDA that says they didn't KNOW the side effects the H1N1 vaccine would have on a fetus. They also added that they didn't know if the vaccine could cause future fertility problems.
I'm finding it so strange that people on the outside seem to know more than the FDA does, and that I can be told "they tested pregnant women more thoroughly this time." Really? Please show me that in their literature.
Why would they talk about future fertility if it were the exact same shot that has been tested thoroughly?
Here's what else it says that you left out from the same link:http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Biologi.../UCM182404.pdf
Sanofi Pasteur's Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine and seasonal trivalent Influenza Virus Vaccine (Fluzone vaccine) are manufactured by the same process. Available information for Fluzone vaccine is provided in this section.
1. Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine or Fluzone vaccine. It is also not known whether these vaccines can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Information in this section is based on seasonal trivalent Influenza Virus Vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Inc. (Fluzone vaccine).
Sanofi Pasteur's Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine and seasonal trivalent Influenza Virus Vaccine (Fluzone vaccine) are manufactured by the same process. Data in this section were obtained in clinical studies conducted with Fluzone vaccine.
I stand by my original assertion. This is the SAME vaccine as a seasonal flu shot. Just as the only change between the seasonal flu shot each year is the specific strains that are contained in it. The only change between the seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 shot this year, is that there's one, novel H1N1 strain in the H1N1 shot while the flu shot has three different strains.
This is not a new vaccine.
Quote from DelainaWell of course that study is ongoing....would it have been better to withhold the vaccine so the trial can continue while H1N1 is spreading?Clinical trials on pregnant women only began on September 9th. So here we have a dilemma because not all of those women will give birth by the time the vaccine is distributed (if the lawsuit doesn't halt it), especially if they were "tested" in the first or second trimester.
Most people that are concerned about the vaccine are concerned about LONG-TERM effects.
I truly hope that when a patient tells one of us that they will NOT be taking something, that we stick up for their right to say no and don't try to misinform them in order to get them to consent. Seriously. They have a right to their autonomy.
So do I.
The drug companies themselves who made the drug (that was a package insert, you linked to, created by the drug company who created the drug) are saying that this is the same vaccine they use for the seasonal flu, they've just changed the strain that's in it.SuesquatchRN and NRSKarenRN like this. -
2Oct 17, '09 by CuriousMeQuote from amy0123At a guess, most would get the vaccine and go on about the business of being a health care professional.If every state mandated the H1N1 vaccine like the NY government has, I wonder what the response would be from health care workers from all 50 states. Would some states refuse and rally? Would those nurses also lose their argument for free choice and be fired?LaneyB and SuesquatchRN like this.
1Oct 17, '09 by CuriousMeQuote from amy0123Well then I guess the rest of us will be actually working to care for folks till they figure out what they want to do.You're right. Most people do not care. However, I think there are very few who do. And they will be very frustrated.SuesquatchRN likes this.
1Oct 18, '09 by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN AdminWhat is the design of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine trial now enrolling pregnant women?
The trial is testing a 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine produced by Sanofi Pasteur in the U.S. vaccine facility, Swiftwater, PA. The study will enroll up to 120 women 18 to 39 years old in their second or third trimester of pregnancy (14 to 34 weeks). All volunteers will receive two injections of the vaccine spaced three weeks apart. Half of the volunteers will receive 15-microgram doses of vaccine, and the other half will receive 30-microgram doses of vaccine.

I wanted to start a budget (a.k.a. Inexpensive) AR-15 build. I was looking on gunbroker and came across a lower receiver by a company called ATI and an upper by a company called New Frontier Army. I was just wondering if these were okay. And, if not, why so? Also, the upper I want is for a 22 LR. Are these all standard parts such that any standard lower will mount to a standard upper that's a 22 caliber? Or, does my desire for a 22 caliber mean I need to buy special and/or different parts? Thanks

Many of us aren't fans of polymer receivers but they should be fine for .22LR. New Frontier Army? Do we have a new Army?
______ The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together. ________________________________________ US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
Compatibility- In GENERAL- you can take a standard AR type lower, and add a .22LR upper. However, if the entire rifle began life as a .22 LR, you may NOT always just switch to a centerfire upper. Some, like the S&W 15-22, have a size difference on the dimesions of the upper from a standard AR. And it has no buffer, or a place to put a buffer.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
quality can be spotty. if your wanting a easy to use with readily available parts and the functionality of an AR15 i would look at smith and wesson's M&P 15-22. most (all i have seen) 22 uppers use ar15 barrels which come in the wrong twist for using slow lightweight 22lr. on top of that they shoot dirtier than any 22lr ive ever run across as they are just expensive versions of the atchisson 22lr kit. the neat thing about the 15-22 is the mags are super easy to load widely available and cheap. parts can be readily had and the lower parts swap out with any ar15 parts. 22 uppers on a ar15 lower is bad way to go unless your sticking a cmmg conversion in your pack for emergency hunting reasons. just my opinion
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
New Frontier Armory is quickly becoming the biggest name in guns in Las Vegas Great products, wonderful and knowledgeable staff, great customer service, and the warranty everything they sell. I won't go anywhere else anymore. They are they perfect gun store .
Um, New Frontier's been around a while, iirc they do sell uppers, tho I've never seen them sell a 22lr upper.

This gasketing material can be dispensed into intricate and complex configurations with the benefit of in-line curing which allows for increased production speed, greater output, lower processing costs, and reduced inventories. It is a silicone-free, one-part resin requiring no mixing. GA-140 is low out-gassing, cures in seconds, and its viscosity allows for varying bead heights. It conforms to intricate channels or recesses and has excellent tear resistance for serviceable and limited-service applications.
DYMAX FIP gaskets cure completely in seconds, even in 1/4"-thick beads. Designed for flat flanges or wide shallow grooves, permanent FIP gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins as well as the design, inventory, and labor expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. DYMAX gaskets cure faster and deeper than UV silicone, and do not release corrosive chemical by-products upon cure.

Interesting article and it might be more interesting if an alternative approach is taken.
Spoken language is easier than the written form be it English, Arabic and Chinese. Theoretically, one can become mastery of spoken languages if he has flawless auditory and articulatory systems when taught hundreds of hours or exposed to the sea of the language he is to learn. In this sense, the written form is more difficult to learn.
In another development, difficulty of language learning lies not in the language itself but in the culture on which the language grows. Without cultural awareness, one can never expect to be an effective language leaner. Or no matter how hard a non-native speaker tries,it is unavoidable for him to turn himself into a laughing stock.
Indeed, it is far easier to learn the spoken form of a language than the written. You mention auditory and oral abilities. The vocabulary of the spoken form contains fewer words than that of the written version. The number of levels of style is also less. An additional factor in language learning is age. As almost everyone knows, young children acquire a second or third language quite easily. At roughly age 17 this ability typically is lost.
One of the difficulties graduate students in the humanities frequently encounter is the requirement of a reading knowledge of French and German. Mastering either will be harder if they begin at university, not in secondary or elementary school. Some never master either well enough to read materials even in their own specialities without a dictionary.
Styles of language make it harder for beginners to follow, and law English and business English make it even harder, reading TE for example.
The best age for language learning is said to be during puberty when one's organs are not in maturity, easier to be shaped.
In English speaking countries, French or German may be taught at high school as a second or third language, but in non-native speaking countries, all are foreign languages, alien to us outsiders.
Grammar rules are after all limited but idiomatic expressions are limitless in accordance with generative theory, which is the core of language, and more often than not scares us non-native speakers away.
Contextual meaning is above explanations in dictionary and it is futile to consult with a dictionary at times for beginners. And it is said that ' no context, no meaning'.
For example
Can I say
There comes a person or There comes a lady or a man? Which one sounds better to your ears? In my native language Chinese, the first sentence sounds more naturally.
Can't agree more. It is the cultural awareness that decides how hard to learn and use a language flexibly.I think developing native thinking and mother-tongue understanding could be the key points to a language learner. As an English learner I must say that western culture is a critical part in my learning. That's why here I am.

All Kohler Purist Fixtures in chrome. Grab Bars (boo) as well. Lower half is grey glossy 4x8. Upper Half is Matte White 2x8. I'm leaning on having the same tile size/running pattern for the *back wall* of the niches. Love to have any input on whether there might be any additional ideas on what would you guys might do different on the back wall. Still looking for the perfect flooring - tbd. Have yet to find that. |

Do you have a schematic drawing of tile layout? |
How about flipping the tile? Use the grey glossy to line the niche that's in the matte white wall and use the matte white tile to line the niche that's in the grey glossy part of the wall. This may sound odd, but you could use the tiles "as is" or cut them down to mimic the scale of the wall tiles. Example, the grey glossy wall tiles are 4x8. So line the niche with white mattes that are cut down to 2x4, 25% the size of the 4x8s. Same for the other. The white matte wall tiles are 2x8, so line that niche with grey glossy tiles cut down to 1x4, again, 25% the size of the wall tile. Obviously it depends on a lot. Can you cut the tiles. Cut edges. Grout lines, etc. Just an idea. Good luck! |

Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren in the arresting biopic, "The Last Station." (Stephan Rabold)
History, expectation, age and idealism collide to good effect in "The Last Station," which follows the final months of Leo Tolstoy.
Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer, in a rich performance) is the most famous writer alive in his latter years. Indeed, a social movement of "Tolstoyans," led by Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), sprouts up espousing celibacy and love for all things in the writer's name.
As the film begins, a young Tolstoyan named Valentin Bulgakov (James McAvoy) has just been handed the job of the writer's personal secretary. What he finds when he meets the great man is a domestic life filled with fury, most of which is generated by Tolstoy's longtime wife and muse Sofya (Helen Mirren, on all burners).
Sofya is concerned that her husband is about to give away the rights to his books -- thus letting "the people" have free access to them -- a move that may mean financial ruin for the family.
"The Last Station" then becomes a battle between a protective wife and an aggressive adviser as the grand master's age hangs over everything, with young Valentin's idealism taking a series of blows as he's caught in the middle.
Obviously this is a uniformly fine cast; and Kerry Condon adds a bit of spice as a Tolstoyan beauty who steals Valentin's heart.
Director and writer Michael Hoffman, adapting Jay Parini's novel, lets the history play out, and this little-known chapter plays out nicely indeed.
Mirren gives the film a slightly crazed urgency while Plummer offers a powerful portrait of serenity disturbed. They fight, laugh, manipulate and ultimately share as only longtime lovers can.
And in the end, "The Last Station" shows a great man to be human after all.

Arizona Pest Control Company's insured and certified technicians have been marching into battle against multilegged opponents since 1947. In their 67 years of service, they have evolved the knowledge and weaponry necessary for evicting bugs, birds, and rodents from both residential and commercial abodes. As they scour homes for signs of unwanted guests, they implement up-to-date technology to both banish and bar pests from the premises.
With eco-friendly bee traps, which lack the pesticides that affect other native animals, the staff can settle long-standing debates over whether that buzzing noise was in your mind all along. Antitermite warranties and treatments keep wooden foundations standing firm, and highly educated bird-control personnel clear out feathery nuisances. Technicians can schedule recurring appointments as well as report for emergency services 24 hours a day.
An enormous green lizard crawls up the yellow stucco house where Tuscon Clay Co-op makes its home. The painted reptile cranes its head curiously toward the door, beyond which the co-op's volunteer members lead students of all artistic levels through children's programs and adult classes in all things pottery. Youngsters can head to summer clay camp or learn hand-building alongside older family members, while grownups spin unformed clay into a bowl, a vase, or another pottery wheel. A gallery brimming with the artwork of co-op members inspires those who belly up to the paint bar to bring bisque pieces handmade by local artists into full-color life.
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Aranda Air's technicians keep homes cozy and cost-effective with air-conditioning and heating-system services. Whether they're installing or repairing units, workers apply their knowledge of multiple filtration systems in order to ensure they operate within EPA guidelines. And to keep homeowners in the loop, technicians speak in easily understood terms, sidestepping complex terminology and any nonessential Klingon verbs. The team guarantees work for six months on units 10 years and younger, and promises to hang-glide back to homes for complimentary repairs should units break down.
Though they operate more than 200 locations in upwards of 30 states, the team behind U.S. Baseball Academy aims to make each young athlete's experience a personal one. Their four- or six-week camps are taught by local instructors who are current or former coaches at the high school or college level, and typically offer a 6:1 or better player-to-teacher ratio for intense, professional-style training. The Academy's proven itinerary of hitting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning drills was developed by an advisory board of college coaches and Major League players, including Cy Young Award?winner and ace pitcher Brandon Webb.
ARS/Rescue Rooter's team of trained, courteous specialists performs an array of air conditioning, heating, and plumbing services nationwide. Regular seasonal maintenance prolongs the life of air-conditioner units and enables them to run efficiently, saving homeowners from grievous energy waste and incurring the righteous wrath of eco-conscious polar bears.
