My family, then I owned a 1976 41 for about 15 years. I sailed the boat alot all over the place and spent alot of time in getting her "right" - to my standards I guess.
I loved the boat and at times, am sad that I no longer have her. They are very pretty as stated, apparently Cheoy Lee got tired of paying Rhodes royalties on the 40' Reliant and had their in house guy Richards create the 41 from the Reliant. The boats can vary alot, even though the boats were offered as stock with either ketch,sloop or yawl rigs-what I mean by vary is mostly in quality but also lots of strange things happened in those old Cheoy Lee yards. Some of the boats (I have known a few others) were well built, some had real problems-typical of those days in those yards-quality and detailing wildly different. For instance, I always felt my boat had a small rudder and that she required alot of helming at times-sure enough, I measured the rudder on another 41 in a yard and mine was short. Sounds crazy as there ought to be a simple mold for a rudder, but who knows what they were doing-I ended up adding to my rudder about 12" and it improved tracking and pointing immensely.
But, without writing a novel about my beloved Cheoy Lee-what to look for when buying? First off, and especially as the boats are now about 30 years old-you have to see how much of the "chinese" has been replaced-by that I mean the wiring (my original 12 v ground was all the ground wires behind the panel bundled up and soldered together...!), the plumbing-rotted old copper pipe etc, the deck hardware-Cheoy Lee "stainless" is legendary, the leaky teak decks, old wooden masts etc etc. When I sold her after all those years and a few trips to the West Indies and back etc, the teak decks had been removed, toerails removed (talk about chinese SS-nearly every bolt was wasted to near nothing), glassed the decks and hull to deck to cove stripe, toerails replaced (should have done it differently-another story), all stanchion bases and stanchions replaced, new (and fewer) jib tracks, blocks winches etc (no Cheoy Lee stuff at all), Aluminum rigs with new standing rigging, new sails (of course), proper windlass, removed and rebedded (but used the massive cheoy lee bronze portlights) all portlights and hatches (used wooden hatches too after rebuilding), painted out alot of the exessive varnish, black imron topsides, bigger rudder, feathering prop, nearly completely rewired, replumbed , repowered - the engine in the bilge is a problem-nice for weight and room below but even a little water in the bilge and you can soak the starter on a perkins-went thru several starters. My boat balways had a mysterious leak or leaks too... The interior is quite unique and roomy-great aft cabin, decent head, decent galley, the huge round table. Some boats had a nicely finished forepeak, some simple like mine. I removed the hanging locker by the port quarterberths and built a decent nav station in its place.
I know of one boat personally that had some pretty big problems with the deck lifting in breeze and the boat moving like crazy-they ended up rebonding alot of the boat and I think it worked well. I had a big problem with oilcanning in the forward sections and ended up adding 1/2"" balsa and biaxial glass over in those large unsupported areas-it worked well. everyone always talks about "how strong" the older solid glass boats are, but that can vary as well-layup schedules and stuff were pretty loose I think (understatement)-more like a bunch of laborers with rolls of fabric and buckets of resin-some of the glasswork on the the boats is overbuilt and bulletproof and some is astonishingly thin-again alot of differences in quality from boat to boat.
The boats sail pretty well all in all-I did alot with my boat to get her going better upwind-rigs, sails, rudder, deck layout etc, and still she was no upwind machine of course, but was much better-we could tack through 100 degrees and maybe less at times. Beam reaching is pretty sweet, the tumblehome goes down and she can really go-had very close to a 200 mile day once and many good fast 150+ miles days offshore when the boat was very happy. Mine was a ketch and I used a mizzen staysail and cruising spinnaker with good success. 135% furling genoa or 95% jib in tradewinds.
I suppose I have written enough already-happy to answer any specific questions you have-I wonder what boat you are looking at? All in all they can be pretty great cruising boats or they can be a repair and maintenance nightmare-depends on the boat and where you enter into her "chinese equipment removal" cycle. Several of the boats have done alot of sailing-mine a bit, another I knew circumnavigated over 5 years and they loved their boat, etc so they can do the job in the right hands - Good Luck!

- FISCAL CLIFF TALKS SOUR: ABC's Jonathan Karl reported on "Good Morning America" that the fiscal cliff negotiations took a turn for the worse yesterday after Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's meeting with Congressional Republicans. Aides to Speaker Boehner say that the White House's offer was completely unrealistic. The key elements of the deal, Karl reports, are $1.6 trillion in tax increases over the next 10 years, $50 billion in additional stimulus spending, $400 billion in unspecified Medicare cuts over the next 10 years, and effectively ending Congress's ability to vote on the debt limit. Republicans may agree to more taxes, but not that much more, and they aren't going to agree to more spending. In order to get a deal Republicans will have to agree to some tax increases, Democrats will have to agree to some spending cuts, but right now the two sides are very far apart. WATCH: http://abcn.ws/Uw6CUA
- BILL CLINTON RETURNING TO WASHINGTON? With President Obama about to enter his second term, ABC's George Stephanopoulos answered viewers' questions about potential new members of the cabinet for his ABC/Yahoo! series "George's Bottom Line." One curious viewer, Bronwyn Lowe, asked Stephanopoulos, "Is it possible for President Clinton to become Secretary of State after he has been president for two terms? I know it sounds odd, but he would be the perfect replacement. Just curious what the probability would be." George's take: "Now there is nothing in the constitution that that would prevent Obama from choosing Bill Clinton as Secretary of State, but I think that is a very unlikely, if not close to impossible, pick." http://abcn.ws/TvqEPj
- WHAT OBAMA CAN LEARN FROM 'LINCOLN': ABC's Amy Walter and Rick Klein note in their latest episode of the ABC/Yahoo! Power Players series "Top Line," that this isn't the first time a president has been re-elected in tumultuous times with the challenge of a lame duck Congress to pass controversial legislation, a polarized electorate, and an even more polarized Congress. Is it the year 2012 … or 1865? In fact, it's both, which is what makes the new "Lincoln" movie and our current political situation so much fun — there is so much about these times that are similar. Granted this year's issue of an impending "fiscal cliff" is far less important than abolishing slavery, but there are so many other parallels. Obama could learn a lot from Lincoln's wheeling and dealing with politicians, as it is portrayed in the movie. WATCH: http://yhoo.it/Susv6f
- THIS WEEK ON 'THIS WEEK': TIMOTHY GEITHNER. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner discusses the latest on the high-stakes stalemate over the fiscal cliff negotiations, Sunday on "This Week." Plus, George Stephanopoulos and the "This Week" powerhouse roundtable debate all the week's politics. Check the "This Week" page for full guest listings. Tune in Sunday: http://abcnews.go.com/thisweek (h/t Imtiyaz Delawala)
"Absurd" — that's the word one top Republican Hill aide used to describe the plan that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner presented to GOP leaders yesterday to avoid the fiscal cliff.
And an aide to House Speaker Boehner described the White House's offer as "completely unrealistic" and "a break with reality."
Meanwhile, a top Democratic insider complained to ABC's Jonathan Karl that "the Republicans have taken to screaming at us."
Sources familiar with the phone call Wednesday night between Speaker Boehner and President Obama — which lasted 30 minutes — told Karl it was as "unproductive" and "blunt." One source said the president did most of the taking, explaining why he will insist that tax rates go up.
"No substantive progress has been made over the last two weeks," said House Speaker John Boehner at a press conference yesterday. "It's time for the president and Congressional Democrats to tell the American people what spending cuts they're really willing to make."
With few signs of optimism in Washington and just 33 days before the end-of-the-year fiscal cliff deadline, President Obama is taking his show on the road.
ABC's Mary Bruce notes that the president is bypassing the wrangling between both sides and traveling to Hatfield, Pa. today where he will tour a toy manufacturing facility and speak to workers there.
According to the White House, "the President will continue making the case for action by visiting a business that depends on middle class consumers during the holiday season, and could be impacted if taxes go up on 98 percent of Americans at the end of the year."
FROM THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE: Boehner's office gives six reasons why the Obama administration's fiscal cliff offer won't fly:
"1) Twice the Taxes: It's absolutely true that the President ran on a tax plan of raising the top two rates. That's what Americans heard from him. That yields about $800 billion in new tax revenue. He just asked for twice that. 2) Not Even the Votes in His Own Party: The Senate was barely able to pass a bill with $800 billion in new tax revenue a few months ago (51 votes). There is no chance there are votes in the Senate for anything close to $1.6 trillion. 3) Unbalanced: The President also ran on a so-called balanced approach. Apparently his idea of balance is four times as much revenue as spending cuts. 4) No Net Spending Cuts: The spending cuts they are offering (which come later) are wiped out by all the new goodies he's also requesting. (stimulus, UI, payroll, housing, etc). 5) Debt Limit Pipe Dream: Permanently doing away with the debt limit? Come on. Guess what – the debt limit is actually very popular. Raising it to infinity is not. 6) We're Far From Opening Bids: Even as an "opening bid," this offer would be ludicrous. But we're way past that. We had about seven weeks to resolve this. Three of those weeks are gone, and this is what he comes with?"
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE: White House spokesman Josh Earnest: "Right now, the only thing preventing us from reaching a deal that averts the fiscal cliff and avoids a tax hike on 98 percent of Americans is the refusal of Congressional Republicans to ask the very wealthiest individuals to pay higher tax rates. The President has already signed into law over $1 trillion in spending cuts and we remain willing to do tough things to compromise, and it's time for Republicans in Washington to join the chorus of other voices — from the business community to middle class Americans across the country — who support a balanced approach that asks more from the wealthiest Americans." http://abcn.ws/X5Th84
ABC'S RICK KLEIN: It's not that they're talking past each other so much as that they aren't talking to each other at all. That would seem to be a bad sign as negotiations between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner appear to have taken a turn for the worse, amid reports of "curt" phone calls and leaks of the only offer on the table so far. But the bluster has a point: It's still about reassuring the respective bases, and preparing them for the choices ahead. So while the words are growing sharper, they aren't even meant for the other side's consumption, at least not yet.
–THE INTERNAL POLLS THAT MADE MITT ROMNEY THINK HE'D WIN. The New Republic's Noam Scheiber reports exclusively that "a Romney aide provided the campaign's final internal polling numbers for six key states, along with additional breakdowns of the data, which the aide obtained from the campaign's chief pollster, Neil Newhouse. The numbers include internal polls conducted on Saturday, November 3, and Sunday, November 4, for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, and New Hampshire. According to Newhouse, the campaign polled daily, then combined the results into two-day averages. In New Hampshire, the final internal polling average has Romney up 3.5 points, whereas he lost by 5.6. In Colorado, the final internal polling average has Romney up 2.5 points; he lost by 5.4."
–"I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE ANSWER IS," Newhouse told Scheiber, explaining that his polls were a lot more accurate in most of the other swing states. "The only ones we had that really seemed to be off were Colorado — a state that even Obama's people tweeted they thought it was going to be one of their closest states — and the New Hampshire numbers, which seemed to bounce a lot during the campaign." http://bit.ly/UvwfoH

HILLARY CLINTON: FISCAL CLIFF IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Thursday that a failure to pass a budget deal would have dangerous consequences for the global economy and weaken America's standing in the world. ABC's Dana Hughes reports, Clinton spoke at the Brookings Institute, where she outlined the state of the relationship between Europe and America. Clinton called a weak economic future on either side of the Atlantic one of the greatest threats to global security and transatlantic relations. http://abcn.ws/WxIaQo
NOTED: CLIFF TALKS LIKELY TO GO DOWN TO THE WIRE. "Government officials may well spend New Year's Eve crunching budget numbers rather than clinking champagne glasses," reports USA's Today's David Jackson. "There's no real incentive for the parties to reach an agreement now. Markets may want an early settlement, but, as mentioned, but the fiscal doesn't start until Jan. 1 — more than four weeks way, a near-eternity in politics. Even after Jan. 1, elements of the fiscal cliff phase in gradually, and a new Congress could always pass legislation retroactive to the start of the year…Expect pushes for last-minute concessions." http://usat.ly/QS1RWC
PELOSI URGES VOTE ON MIDDLE CLASS TAX RELIEF. ABC's John Parkinson reports, house Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged Republicans to allow a vote on legislation to extend tax cuts on the first $250,000 of personal income and delay the debate over tax cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers until next year. Pelosi surmised that extending tax breaks for the middle class would be "a Christmas present to the American people" that would not only increase the confidence of consumers, but also financial markets. http://abcn.ws/UuZPuu
THE SPEAKER'S LOBBY: BOEHNER CRAFTS COMPROMISER IMAGE. Bloomberg's Roxana Tiron reports, "House Speaker John Boehner says he's open to a budget deal with President Barack Obama. He may need Democratic help to push any agreement through his chamber. Pressure from at least 60 small-government House Republicans, most backed by the anti-tax Tea Party, means Boehner must construct a plan for averting the so-called fiscal cliff that can win some Democratic votes. Congress is trying to head off more than $600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to begin in January." http://bloom.bg/Y8jvrX
TOM COLE: WHO IS THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MAKING WAVES IN 'FISCAL CLIFF' NEGOTIATIONS? Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) made headlines this week when suggested that his Republican colleagues should join with President Obama on a quick "fiscal cliff" fix by voting to extend the Bush tax-rates for everyone but the highest income earners, and leaving the rest of the debate for later, reports ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield. One question likely being asked by Americans watching the 'fiscal cliff' negotiations going on in Congress, though is: Who is Tom Cole? Cole, 63, represents Oklahoma's fourth congressional district in Congress. He was first elected in 2002 and he's about to start his sixth term. http://abcn.ws/TuGVkh
PALESTINIANS WIN STATEHOOD STATUS AT U.N. OVER U.S. OBJECTIONS. The U.N. General Assembly voted yesterday to approve Palestinians' request to be upgraded to a "non-member observer state," defying opposition by the U.S. and Israel reports ABC's Alex Marquardt and Dana Hughes. Before the vote, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the General Assembly that it "is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine." Of the 193 countries in the General Assembly 138 voted to recognize Palestine. Only nine, including the U.S., voted against it. Another 41 countries abstained. http://abcn.ws/U6dcfT
OBAMA, ROMNEY PLEDGE TO 'STAY IN TOUCH' AT WHITE HOUSE LUNCH. President Obama and former rival Mitt Romney "pledged to stay in touch" after their hour-long lunch at the White House today, their first face-to-face encounter since the election reports ABC's Mary Bruce. "The focus of their discussion was on America's leadership in the world and the importance of maintaining that leadership position in the future," according to the White House. The former foes lunched on white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad in the private dining room adjacent to the Oval Office. The White House would not detail further the topics of their conversation, but made clear the president did not invite the former GOP nominee to the White House to ask him to play any specific role in the administration. http://abcn.ws/Ttynd0
ODD OBAMA EMAIL SUBJECT LINES DREW HUGE CASH. Remember all those Obama campaign emails and their, shall we say, unusual subject lines? "Hey," wrote Barack Obama in at least five messages during the campaign. "Hell yeah," topped one note from strategist David Axelrod. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports, new data released by the campaign show that these and other catchy and casual phrases were hugely successful at getting Obama supporters to open the emails and click through to donate. http://abcn.ws/Wxzp90
CLINTON REFLECTS ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CHALLENGES AS SECRETARY OF STATE. Hillary Clinton reflected on her accomplishments as Secretary of State over the last four years in a wide-ranging speech on foreign policy trends on Thursday reports ABC's Dana Hughes and Sarah Parnass. She also touched on what she sees as America's most pressing global challenges in the future, signaling that her time in the Obama administration is drawing to a close. At the top of her remarks given at the Newseum in Washington D.C., Clinton took a moment to address the U.N. resolution passed in the General Assembly just minutes before she spoke that recognized Palestine as a non-member observer state. http://abcn.ws/11neGZH
ON DECK: FOR SECRETARY OF STATE, G.O.P. PUSHES OLD HAND. The New York Times' Jennifer Steinhauer reports, "as President Obama's potential nominee for secretary of state, Susan E. Rice, comes under increasing fire, Congressional Republicans appear to be coalescing around a familiar name as an alternative candidate: their current colleague and former presidential foe, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. Gone are the criticisms of Mr. Kerry as a waffler who tried to have it both ways on the Iraq war and the caricature of him as a windsurfing symbol of privileged East Coast liberalism. Instead, Mr. Kerry, a Democrat, is depicted as a deeply knowledgeable statesman who would breeze through confirmation on his way to Foggy Bottom." http://nyti.ms/V7RjxR
@peterbakernyt: So looking at data together, the tax-cutters and the spenders haven't fought it out; they've both won, leaving the bill still to be paid.

I was given a very large red ceramic urn. I am at a loss at what to do with it, since it has no drainage hole. I am afraid of letting water collect and sit in it, because of mosquitos. It seems awfully deep for a bog garden planting (that's a lot of peat moss!). What would you do with it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can add a few drain holes with a masonry drill bit. |
I had that question a few weeks ago when I had the chance to get a large, free urn. I couldn't figure out what to do and decided not to take the urn. But then it struck me -- something I had always wanted. A small container pond that I can grow some water plants in, including having a small filter or pump for containers. Some people even have gold fish in their container ponds, so that will take care of mosquito larvae (besides also using a larvae-killing ingredient if you don't have fish) For your urn, maybe you can consider if you would like that before making a hole in it. |

Some kind of water garden was what I was thinking myself - or at least a planter for plants that like wet feet. But back to my question of what to fill it with. It's very deep so I don't want to spend a fortune on potting soil or peat moss. |
What some people do when planting regular plants in a large or deep container is to fill it with some stuff that isn't needed for the container or plants, but it's just so they don't have to fill it with so much potting soil (and to keep it lighter than being filled all up with soil). I think the same ideas would be fine for your bog container, with the exception that you'll want to choose things which, when sitting in water all the time, won't have any adverse effects on the water or plants. Oh, and of course, I forgot that if it becomes a water container, then just water, with a certain amount of growing medium to allow the plants to grow in. Eg, an upside down planter, some plastic bottles, some sticks, plastic egg cartons, cut-up pieces of styrofoam, etc. Since your container is large-ish, then even 1-liter or 2-liter or 1-gallon containers might fit just fine in there. |

How long does it take to drive from one Disneyland to Universal?

Many thanks
Happy New Year
My husband and I (35 and 45 yrs), are travelling to USA in april/maj 2015.
On 30th of april we drive from San Francisco to Sequoia, estimated arrival late afternoon. We have booked two nights at Wuksachi Lodge. And on 1st of May we drive from Sequoia to Yosemite.
What are the "must see's" for our stay? How would a realistic itinerary look for 1 evening, 1 hole day, and 1 morning? We want to see as much as possible.
Are some things going to be closed when we are there (late April/beg. May)?
Do we need to bring snowchains?
What about box for food? (i am thinking bears here) - Do we still need that, staying at Wuksachi Lodge? If so, how and where do we rent boxes?
Best regards
Hi everybody. Is it allowed to park overnight with rv on public streets? German couple travelling to Southern California in march 2015 with rented rv would be happy to get some assistance.
We are a family of 4 with tween daughters. We are looking for an ocean front suite for June for 4 nights. For price consideration and location, I have researched the pacific Terrace resort and Ocean park inn. Anyone have comments which one is better for us or if we should go somewhere else?
Hi -
I have video stills from a Twilight Zone episode shot in Alabama Hills. Would someone help me by looking at the stills, and possibly telling me where these shots were taken?
My goal is to take pictures from the same distances and angles, and create a "then-and-now" presentation. Any info/guidance is gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Giammarco
Hey dear fellow members! We are flying to LAX at the end of May and we have our return flight 9 days later, from San Francisco. Our idea is to drive from LAX to San Francisco trough the Coast road, we´ve heard thats a really nice roadtrip. But in the other hand, theres a couple a national parks (Death Valley, Yosemite) that we would love to visit.
Our idea would be:
1.- Pick up the car in LAX and right away drive to death valley. (maybe spend the night there in the car, do you know if thats possible?)
2.- From Death Valley to the coast road and spend there one day (from St.Barbara for example, to San Francisco)
3.- Leave the car in S.Fco Airport and then drive with public transportation to the city.
4.- Make one day tours to Yosemite and another national park nearby.
It is of course everything "raw", and i would LOVE to read your ideas and/your experiences, that would be really helpful! Too manny days? Too few? what else we must see, etc.
I thank you all in advance!!!!
Are dogs allowed to enter any where on these grounds?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: [OS] USA/MIL - US 'to view major cyber attacks as acts of war'
US 'to view major cyber attacks as acts of war'
31 May 2011 - 13H04
AFP - The Pentagon has adopted a new strategy that will classify major
cyber attacks as acts of war, paving the way for possible military
retaliation, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper said the Pentagon plans to unveil its first-ever strategy
regarding cyber warfare next month, in part as a warning to foes that may
try to sabotage the country's electricity grid, subways or pipelines.
"If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of
your smokestacks," it quoted a military official as saying.
The newspaper, citing three officials who had seen the document, said the
the strategy would maintain that the existing international rules of armed
conflict -- embodied in treaties and customs -- would apply in cyberspace.
It said the Pentagon would likely decide whether to respond militarily to
cyber attacks based on the notion of "equivalence" -- whether the attack
was comparable in damage to a conventional military strike.
Such a decision would also depend on whether the precise source of the
attack could be determined.
The decision to formalize the rules of cyber war comes after the Stuxnet
attack last year ravaged Iran's nuclear program. That attack was blamed on
the United States and Israel, both of which declined to comment on it.
It also follows a major cyber attack on the US military in 2008 that
served as a wake-up call and prompted major changes in how the Pentagon
handles digital threats, including the formation of a new cyber military
Over the weekend Lockheed Martin, one of the world's largest defense
contractors, said it was investigating the source of a "significant and
tenacious" cyber attack against its information network one week ago.
President Barack Obama was briefed about the attack.

I have a Ouachita blackberry in a container, I bought last year to see if it would work in my area and it is fruiting right now, so I would like to propagate a few more plants, I haven't noticed any off shoot plants coming up, so I figure I will have to tip root, my question is can I tip root spent canes after fruiting is over or do they have to be new growth? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You tip root (also called tip layer) on the primocanes (first year growth). Once the fruiting is done the cane dies and should be removed. If your Ouachita blackberry is growing properly, you should have several new canes popping up to replace the fruiting cane. Sometimes the new growth is hard to see at first because it hides under the second year growth. If you look at the canes under the current leaf cover, the new canes should be lighter green. I have 5 Ouachita blackberry plants in the ground and they are about 50% complete with blooming (in zone 6B). I have some new canes that are already 4-5ft tall by comparison. |

"I found Tiny Prints through googling "affordable graduation announcements". I was worried about how the picture would turn out on the announcement because even though it was taken on a professional camera the website still said that it was not a good enough quality. I took the chance anyway and opted for the professional review before the order was processed. The order arrived 4 days before expected and maybe even more than that I just happened to see it on my porch one morning. The order turned out wonderful! The quality of the picture was exactly what I wanted. Im glad I chose Tiny Prints to make my graduation announcements. I even recommend them to my mother for out annual christmas cards."
"I ordered two different designs for my graduation invitations and this was my favorite one. It was simple, yet chic and stylish and it met all of my needs. The picture quality was great, they printed beautifully on the paper and the paper itself was great. I was more than pleased with my invitations!"
"This card is exactly how it is portrayed. The paper quality and print quality are superb. Make sure you order the size card you want, because the default is on the small side. Also, it arrived a day before it was expected. I am pleased with my order!"
"I was extremely happy with the announcement I made with this design. I used the black format which worked well as each picture used had a distinct element of black in it. It was easy to customize and play around with various fonts until I found the one I liked best. I didn't pay any extra for the paper used and it was like a heavy card stock--very nice! We have received nothing but compliments on the announcement, and I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Berndt!
Facts about Berndt
- Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Berndt's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This one doesn't stop...thus pictures as he is flying thru the air. Cute little guy! Ok, So I have ahd this puppy for the weekend. Someone please adopt him. He is stealing my heart...that isn't supposed to happen. As soon as he sees you might be sitting down he gets there to snuggle up with you. He curls into this perfect ball and gets warm. I put him under my shirt and he loved it. He plays well with the other dogs. He is still a little thin but he is eating and putting the weight on. Usually I feed wet food to fatten them but am really trying to keep him to dry food only.
His shots are current and has been dewormed. Dew claw has been removed.
Other Pets at SRL Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Berndt, a MINNEAPOLIS Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Dachshund for sale in MINNEAPOLIS, or seeking a Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy from a breeder in MINNEAPOLIS.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in MINNEAPOLIS already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a MINNEAPOLIS breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Dachshund breeders who help with Chihuahua/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in MINNEAPOLIS paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Best-Dressed Models and Celebrities of Aug. 3 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief dinner in London may have been packed with models, but the style on offer was refreshingly low-key. Lily Donaldson, Karen Elson, and Georgia May Jagger each donned various versions of the LBD, while Jourdan Dunn went ultrasleek in a streamlined beige ensemble. Kate Moss, in her gold-embroidered vintage caftan, was the embodiment of easy elegance as well.
At an intimate gathering in honor of Brad Goreski's birthday in New York, the looks were just as breezy. The downtown crowd — which included Christina Ricci, Taylor Tomasi Hill, and Prabal Gurung (left) — was the picture of Summery fun with bright hues, botanical prints, and unfussy silhouettes.
See all those looks — plus Mischa Barton's tux redux in London, Jennifer Lawrence's snakeskin Narciso Rodriguez in Hollywood, and Dree Hemingway's Marc Jacobs prints in Switzerland — here, in our best-of-the-week slideshow.

Was wondering if I'm doing more harm than good when snipping off the seed pods on my Oleanders. My plants are literally covered with the seed pods and weighing the branches down. Plus they seem to stop blooming while in the seed pod stage. I decided to snip the seed pods off and was wondering what the effect may be?? perrrip |

A rising number of disputes with China has prompted India to issue a trade advisory, cautioning companies from entering into contracts with Chinese firms without conducting thorough credential checks.
A total of 86 cases of trade disputes, involving $2.9 million, were reported by the Indian Embassy in Beijing last year. This marked a decline from previous years — disputes worth $4.8 million were reported in 2011, down from $5.4 million and $7.8 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The advisory, however, said that in spite of issuing earlier warnings, "a number of Indian SMEs" were not following previous advisories. They were, the advisory said, still "placing orders with unverified Chinese companies listed on B2B sites like Alibaba, tradeb2b.net, etc., sending advance payments to the bank accounts of unverified Chinese companies and not conducting physical inspection of the goods at the point of loading."
Many of the cases last year were reported from northern China, with 24 cases in Hebei province and 16 in the northeastern port city of Tianjin, among the 86 cases.
The advisory called on companies to run "a complete credential check" on any prospective Chinese partner and to refrain from trusting B2B sites for a list of importers or exporters. A list of "do's and don'ts" has been published by the Indian Embassy in Beijing on its website.
The warning comes amid continuing steep declines in trade between India and China. New trade figures released here on Wednesday by the General Administration of Customs showed bilateral trade, after three months of the year, was down 8.2 per cent overall, to $15.23 billion.
Indian exports to China are down by as much as 27.8 per cent, reaching only $4.46 billion as of March.
The fall in exports comes amid bans on exporting iron ore, which has largely driven Chinese imports. Bilateral trade fell by 12 per cent last year to $66 billion, with the deficit reaching a record $29 billion.

Meow the Jewels Reaches Kickstarter Goal, World Isn't So Bad After All
Run the Jewels, the brainchild of renowned producer/rapper El-P and co-conspirator Killer Mike, has garnered piles of attention, praise and accolades since its 2013 debut. While the two artists themselves are no strangers to genre-bending and brow-raising collaborations (the pair recently released a song featuring comedian/Police Academy star Michael Winslow and another featuring Rage Against the Machine's Zach De La Rocha), their most recent announcement is so far out of the box that it should likely be spinning across the galaxy.Killer Mike, El-P, "and a shitload of cats."

Auburn Tigers (10-4)
@Florida St. Seminoles (9-5)
Wednesday, January 04
Donald L. Tucker Center
Attendance: 7,967
Florida St.
Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Michael Snaer netted a game-high 22 points as Florida State routed Auburn, 85-56 in non-conference action at the Tucker Center.
For Florida State (9-5), Snaer finished 5-of-9 shooting and a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw stripe. Ian Miller chipped in with 15 points off the bench and Xavier Gibson added 12. Gibson proved to be a force on defense too, contributing four blocks.
Leading the way for Auburn (10-4) was Chris Denson, who finished with 15 points. Kenny Gabriel was the only other Tiger to finish with double-digit points, scoring 10. Gabriel also added seven rebounds, three blocks, and two steals.
After Auburn got up 5-4 early in the first half, Florida State proceeded to go on a 28-3 run and never looked back. The Seminoles connected on 63.3 percent of their shots in the half and scored 24 points in the paint to the Tigers' six. Auburn shot an abysmal 15.2 percent in the half.
Auburn was able to curb some of its woes in the second half, outscoring the Seminoles, 40-35 in the frame, but it was too little too late, as the Seminoles went into cruise control for an easy victory.
Neither team fared well from beyond the arc, with Auburn shooting 28.6 percent and Florida State hitting a worse 25 percent from long range.

Here's a couple of snipets from a Scotts rep. "The product was made after the price of oil was locked for manufacturing, and that was well before it took a nose-dive that nobody saw coming" "As for prices, it all goes back to commodity costs: price per oil. When this stuff was made, the price of oil per barrel was very high, and petro is used to make urea, as well as the plastic for the packaging, and finally it figures in to the costs for shipping." |

I use the turbuilder 5 or 10k sf bags from lowes which appears to the same price it has been for the past 10 years which is about $8 or $16 for the bigger bag. I am not on the 4 step program though. ☺ That's just too many steps for me. |

Christmas came exactly 20 days early for one Oklahoma military family Monday when a giant, wrapped box was delivered to their front door.
Hiding inside the box addressed to Okmulgee, Okla., resident Kevin Gaines and his three children was no ordinary present, but Kevin's wife and the children's mom, Sgt. Jamee Gaines.
Sergeant Gaines had spent the past six months deployed in Afghanistan to fulfill her duties with the Oklahoma National Guard.
When she learned she would have a break around the holiday, she reached out to the town's Calvary Baptist Church to coordinate a surprise.
The church came to the family's home Monday night to spread the Christmas spirit with food, Christmas carols and gifts.
The biggest gift was the one that contained the biggest surprise of all.
"We brought a present," explains one church volunteer, in video of the scene captured on camera. "You'll have to be real gentle with it because it's a mean animal sometimes. Hasn't been seen over here in six months in the U.S., so you have to be real careful whenever you open it ok, ok everybody at the same time, you gotta open it."
As the kids tear open the gift wrap, their mom, Sergeant Gaines, pops out.
As she springs from the box, her shocked husband and kids can be heard screaming, "Oh baby! Oh my god! Mommy!!!!!!!"
Sergeant Gaines will be home with her family in Oklahoma for the next two weeks before she has to again report to Afghanistan. Her National Guard unit is scheduled to return back home, for good, in March.

When our son was born in 2003, Bishop was not even an option in the baby books we looked at. When people would ask what we were naming the baby, when I would say Bishop...it would either be very funny look or they would REALLY like it. Tupac Shakur played a character in the movie "Juice" which is where we got the name from. My husband's family is Catholic so it worked for them. I have heard numerous times in the last 5 yrs how his name is very strong. It fits with his personality 100%. I just absolutely love the name!!

I am proficeant in many digital software including Adobe creative Suite, Corel Draw, Flash, and Microsoft Office. I can adapt almost any of my fantasical illustrations into a graphic design ready for production. I currently work as art director and in house designer at Fever River Packet Company.
I'm currently learning to paint and sculpt miniature figures, as well as produce large scale diorama backdrops for them. I'm new to this medium and artistic venue and am anxious to learn. I've won a bronze metal at ReaperCon 2012 check my news stories for more updates on my miniature painting progress.
I learned to paint in the digital world during collage at AAU, I've been using this medium for over 10 years. I love using digital illustration to enhance some of my traditional pieces as well as creating them from scratch for a quick turnaround time. My Digital pieces are featured in my portfolio page above.
I've been working with a series of traditional media for over 14 years, all of my work starts at the sketch stage and this allows me to realize almost any concept for a verity of needs. From portraiture to book covers and comics I'm a master of many mediums.
I was born in Manhattan, and have slowly made my way across these United States in a steady jaunt westward. At this time I remain unrepresented and am always looking for commissioned work. Although much of my experience comes from non-formal odd "jobs" which have popped up throughout my life. Jobs such as logo design, product design, silk screen design, tattoo design, portraits, characters, random consignment work, and even comic book illustration. I'm currently living in Santa Fe New Mexico working as a personal assistant to the illustrious George RR Martin. My position here at Fever River has allows me to explore my illustration dreams as well as managing to me well an on my toes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions concerning my designs, rates or upcoming schedule of shows and or commissioned work.

Take a look at http://www.chromeexperiments.com/
I think JavaScript is very close to have everything that RIAs can offer.
What's missing from or for JavaScript to make it a viable RIA development alternative?
Take a look at http://www.chromeexperiments.com/ I think JavaScript is very close to have everything that RIAs can offer. What's missing from or for JavaScript to make it a viable RIA development alternative? |
While chromeexperiments.com has many neat technology demos, and I especially like some of the games there, it's still very much far off compared to what's being done with Adobe Flash/Air and Microsoft Silverlight. I'm a long time web developer and I experienced the pain with browser in the early days, where none of the browsers cared much about standards. Today, it's very different. Not only do we have a lot more browsers, there are small incompatabilities in all of them which in some cases can be problematic. Normally applies when you're doing a pixel-perfect design, which you shouldn't do anyway ;-) One of Silverlight (and WPFs) promisses are separation of concerns when it comes to delegating work between the developers and designers. While the tooling is not yet optimal, it's improving in every release of Visual Studio and Expression Blend. Being able to actually see what you're doing in a designer is helpful for a designer. I have traditionally been a pro-web, it's more compatible, works everywhere, standards based and just the decent way to do things. It's only when you have benefits towards alternatives you should pick them, but normally they should be additions to an existing implementation built on web, this applies particulary to information systems, line of business, etc. You don't want to get tied down to a specific version of a runtime or viewer, that will get us back to the problems we have today with far too many web-systems only compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0. It's a nightmare in many organizations today, their IT-systems doesn't work with anything other than IE6 so they are stuck, without any means of upgrading expect when they can afford replacing the existing systems. If you develop a solution today, will your users be able to use it 3 years from now? What about 5 years? 10 years? Will they require a special-purpose-PC-setup that sits in the corner, running an old version of the OS and RIA/Viewer runtime? Sort of like how the IT-systems of the police runs all around the globe. One project I'm currently working on (hobby-project) I initially started out with a desktop application, using Windows Forms and SQL Server Compact Edition for local storage. Then I figured I wanted to be more available to users, so I changed my plans to be an ASP.NET MVC project. Later on, I realized that it was about time to get more experience with Silverlight, so I ended up doing the whole thing with Silverlight 4 and Windows Azure. I'm amazed how productive you can be with Silverlight, though there is a pretty steep learning curve for someone who's traditionally built Windows Forms and Web Forms solutions. What is missing from the HTML+JS technologies? Tools & Frameworks! One of the most important things for any developers is familiarities between projects. There shouldn't be a difference in the tools and frameworks you use if you want to develop a 3D game, Line-Of-Business Application or an interactive web banner. Reduced development time is another critical point, today's AJAX frameworks is way better than what we had to write ourselves back when XmlHttp first arrived with IE, so we're slowly getting to some place where we can do really cool RIA-solutions with nothing but web-technologies. I think HTML 5 is the beginning of something good, though it's still pretty far off compared to what we have today with Flash and Silverlight. |
There is an adage that "anything that can be done in javascript, will eventually be done in javascript". Certainly, lack of a good designer for this sort of interactive app is one problem. It's important to note that javascript is just a scripting language, where silverlight and flash are frameworks that each include their own programming language. In fact, Silverlight 1.0 used javascript as it's language. So the real question is whether HTML+javascript will get to a point that Silverlight and Flash are not needed. I could see that happening in the post-HTML-5 timeframe, but that will be a while. |
Yes, of course. jQuery+HTML5 makes it easy. jQ has animations, AJAX, keyboard and other stuff. HTML5 has canvas, audio and video. What else you need? |
I think that there needs to be greater uniformity of the performance of JS engines across browsers. The cool things on chrome experiments are made possible by the super-fast performance of V8, the JS engine in Chrome. These things are not so exciting in many other browsers. The advantage that is held by Flash/Silverlight is that they are browser extensions that do their work closer to the actual computer and are thus less constrained by the characteristics of the browser. JS applications will be limited until all browsers have performance approximately the same as Chrome's. |
I'm currently writing my first real application in Flash (Flex, actually) but it's only because i needed to have complex imagery from PDF, and PDF2SWF works much better than PDF2SVG. so, in this particular case, it wasn't about the platform capabilities (neither of them could handle PDF), but about an accessory tool (transforming PDF to a usable vector format) |
The benefit of Silverlight is that, with Silverlight 4, the same code base can be used to create a web hosted application and a full trust desktop application*. This is of great benefit to designers of Enterprise applications where the user must be constrained (to a certain extent) in what they can do and how they interact with the application. So what you might see is that consumer websites go down the Javascript route, while Enterprise applications stick with Silverlight and Flash. * I don't know about Flash and Adobe Air, but I would suspect that Adobe are working on this too. |

I did a search in this forum for clean floor but didn't see what I was looking for. This seems like such a dumb question but here I go. We have a plain old cement garage floor. There is a stink in the garage. I thought maybe an animal died or something but I have moved everything, swept it all clean, checked all cabinets and there is no dead animal. The smell is still there; the only difference is the floor is swept clean. I guess we have to "mop" the garage floor. I have not done this before. Is there a product just for this? Or do you think just hosing the garage floor will suffice? I need a disinfectant really to do the job right. Maybe ammonia in water? My question sounds so dumb I am embarrassed. Thanks

Ratha's IslandRatha's Island, a Twitter novelette by Clare Bell, author of the Ratha or Named series.Prepared for Twitter by Sheila Ruth and Clare Bell. Inspiration by Sheila Ruth. Copyright 2009The Twitter search tag or hashtag for the story posts is #rathafic. This archive file will be updated regularly.Ratha, female leader of the Named cat clan, paused on the meadow trail, one forefoot raised.To one side, the small three-toed horses that the Named called dapplebacks, huddled nervously.On the other, the three-horned deer stamped and shook their heads.The deer stabbed up with their forked nose-horns, as if at an invisible enemy only they could see.Even the sky, choked with low clouds, seemed a threat. Ratha lifted her head, narrowing her eyes.Just below the clouds two shapes circled.Yes, they were birds, probably eagles, but she had never seen eagles this large.Ratha knew the hawks and eagles that often sailed over clan ground, but she hadn't seen these birds before.They seemed to fly mu
How the Named got their namesI was having a conversation with ~Lyrak (Karyl Cunningham) a few days ago on Facebook, and I thought I'd share how I answered her. She asked how I developed names for the clan cats, and here's my reply.Some clan cat names are taken from words in Bengali (an East Indian language), such as "Thakur" (Ta-KOORr), which means "teacher" and is also used as a Bengali first and last name. "Ratha" began as a made-up word, but I later found that it meant "chariot" and is pronounced in Hindi as "RA-ta". "Fessran" was made up from hissy cat sounds as was "Srass". Meoran, Cherfan, Shoman, and others were made up from other cat sounds (plaintive meows, chirrups, and various cat noises). I don't now where Bira came from. Events in the story (and Ratha's teasing) gave Bonechewer his moniker. Mishanti and Khushi are made up based on African Bantu words. There is no "official" way the cats are named, although Ratha formally bestowed the name "Shongshar" on the UnNamed One, Orange-Eyes.Why Bengali? I ha
Ratha Graphic Novel is a Go!I've been really and happily busy on scripting and storyboards for the Ratha's Creature Graphic Novel,so I thought I'd post some words from Sheila Ruth of Imaginator Press.In a recent Kickstarter Update, Sheila wrote:Thanks to you, our friends and fans, the Ratha's Creature Graphic Novel Kickstarter project was a success! Not only did we meet our funding goal, but we raised a thousand dollars over the goal, which is a good start towards raising enough for a print edition. I know that many of you would like to see this book in print, so we're going to be exploring options for raising the rest of the money needed for a print run.

Who's going to Win the Kicking Job? Nick or Nick?
Posted by Erik Manassy on Aug 29, 2011 in News | 0 comments
Tonight's game will be the last dress rehearsal before the regular season and I'm going to be watching tonight to see who will win some last position battles.
The kicking competition is still up for grabs, the last WR slot (#5) and I want to see how Shonn Green looks as the number 1. I'm still not convinced he could be our guy.
But now I want to take a look at the kicking battle. I say Folk wins the job. In order for him to LOSE the job, he has to miss every kick from here on out. Remember he's the incumbent and in order for him to lose the job he has to get knocked out. Despite putting up a great fight, I just don't see Novak doing it.
I know fans have ridden Folk hard the last year and into this off season, but I believe he's our best shot.
Nick vs. Nick
Will it be Folk or Novak. You have to think the edge will go to Folk, but the race has been tighter than we all would have thought. Just when Folk looks to jump ahead, Novak has a good game or practice.
"It's been a good competition," special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff said. "I give both guys credit for having responded well to one another's challenge."
There were perfect examples of that this week. On Tuesday, both kickers went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts in practice. And on Wednesday, both nailed 62-yarders in practice.
"I feel like I'm in a pretty good groove right now," said Folk, who was 30-for-39 on field goals for the Jets last season. "I think I've been kicking well [and] hitting the ball pretty solidly."
"I feel the level I'm kicking at now is better than the other camps I've been in and the other opportunities I've had," said the 30-year-old Novak, who is 19-for-30 on field goals in his career over parts of three seasons with Washington, Arizona and Kansas City. He last kicked in the regular season with the Chiefs in 2008.
Novak has been through numerous training camp competitions and one-day tryouts, so he is used to this kind of pressure.
"Mentally, it's one kick at a time, one day at a time," he said, "and I approach it that way as opposed to focusing on two weeks from now or the [upcoming] game."
The two have alternated kicks during games, with the incumbent Folk getting the first one each time. Novak has connected from 35 and 30 yards, and Folk has hit from 33, 40 and 50 yards, the last one in a driving rain against the Bengals. He also missed a 43-yard attempt wide right in that game and put a kickoff out of bounds.
"That was very disappointing. You can't do that," Westhoff said. "Other than that, he's kicked off well for the most part."
Westhoff doesn't know if he will name a winner after this game or the preseason finale against Philadelphia on Sept. 1, but said, "Obviously Nick Folk being the incumbent has the advantage. You've got to knock him out."

Like the option of not having to have breakfast and saving a little money.

This is the best place to stay in the Pt Reyes area,especially if you like the quietness of the sitting room and the hospitality of the innkeeper. The breakfast is amazing and the afternoon wine and cheese is the best. Do yourself a favor and visit.

The morning breakfast was wonderful and very tasty. It was nice to have coffee available in the reception room all afternoon.
4.2 on August 16, 2010
We stay for the weekend together with other couple and truly enjoyed the experience: the location, the comfort, the wonderful window seals with cushions for reading, the knowledgeable and lovely host. The breakfast was delicious and the relax atmosphere just what a doctor could prescribe for relaxation.

From the beautiful surroundings, wonderful - comfortable bed to a special breakfast that made my taste buds sing - this is the place! Your next vacation should be toTen Inverness Way, you will not only find relaxation while re-discovering the fresh scent of nature you will relax your sole. One of the best gifts to yourself!!
5 on May 02, 2008
This is one of our favourite B&Bs we love coming to stay here. The breakfasts are delicious and it is near many good restaurants for dining in the evening. Our last visit [our 2nd stay] we were in the Inverness Ridge room, we opened our windows each morning onto the view of the mountain and the birds singing. We always plan on playing Mastermind in the sitting room, but end up having a glass of wine and nodding off to sleep because we are so relaxed! It is a perfect, quiet retreat after a day out exploring the beautiful surrounds.
5 on February 03, 2008
We loved this B&B from the moment we drove up to the door. Our room (skylight room) had a great little window reading nook. Two over the bed skylights. Cute country decor. The other guests were very friendly. Our hosts were helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast was delicious and served in a quaint little breakfast room. We will definitely go here again. A great little getaway
