Your arrangements are beautiful, Mandolls! I'm meeting some lovely dahlias for the first time this year. Going to have a hard time deciding which to order for next season! I'm always looking for new arranging ideas, so thanks for sharing. :) |
Thanks - like I said it has been fun to be more playful with arranging them this year. I bought a group of old metal spiked frogs on e-bay which have opened up the possibilities as to what I can use from my pottery collection. For the past 3 years I havent bought tubers. I have been trading tubers with people on this forum. Except for the Pineland Princess, which I have had for at least 6 years, every one of those in the pics were traded for either this year or last. I find I cant really tell which ones I love until I grow them. So last year my trade criteria was simply - if I dont have it already, I will trade for it. I got a few that I am not so excited about, but I also got some that I doubt I would have chosen, that I love. |

How to tile a wall
Welcome to our illustrated guide to tiling a wall.
One of the most transforming home improvement projects for any bathroom or kitchen is the application of fresh tiles. Although creating that perfect finish can require some patience the rewards are immense.
The actual job of getting the tiles onto the wall is very straightforward, but, as with most DIY jobs, the key to a great finish is in the preparation and planning.
This guide will take you through the processes step-by-step, including preparing the surfaces, marking-out, creating your battens and then laying the tiles.
Please note: We will accept no responsibility for any damage or injury as a result of following this guide.
For further information please see our disclaimer, a link to which can be found at the bottom of this page.
When working with ceramic tiles
wear safety goggles and thick work gloves!
Ceramic tiles can be extremely sharp when trimmed or cut.

to estimate the amount of tiles required.
Preparing the surface for tiling
Preparation is the key to achieving a great finish for your tiling project and getting the walls prepared is a vital part of this preparation.
Preparing plastered brick or block walls
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust/debris. Repair any cracks or blemishes using a suitable filler, always allow time for the filler to dry completely.
Remember to check for any dips or bumps in the wall's surface as this can become a problem when fixing the tiles later on. For instance, some prominent bumps/dips can cause a tile to kick out on one edge or corner.
If the plaster is new then ensure it has had enough time to dry (10-14 days depending on manufacturer), also read the tile adhesive manufacturer's guidelines as the new plaster may need a coat of primer.
Tiling on top of other tiles
If you want to tile straight on top of the existing tiles, then remove all of the grease and dirt with a suitable detergent and score the tiles vertically and horizontally with a tile scriber to facilitate a bond between the existing tiles and the new ones.
There are special adhesives available designed specifically for tiling over tiles, these adhesives can sometimes be used without scoring the existing tiles.
One thing to bear in mind when considering tiling straight over existing tiles is that the new tiles will be at least a tiles thickness proud. This can cause problems when tiling up to edges like door frames.
In the majority of cases it is better to remove the old tiles first, it makes the project more time consuming but the results can be worth the extra effort.
Creating the guide rods
As with a lot of DIY tasks, the setting out of a tiling project is extremely important and shouldn't be rushed. One of the easiest ways to set out your tiles is to make yourself a guide rod out of a piece of wooden batten, this can then be used to mark out the tile positions and give you a preview of how the tiling project will look when finished.
Divide the wall width by 2 and subtract 4cms (1.6 inches) write down this figure as
Get a
piece of batten, cut to the length of
(see above) and lay it on the floor.
Get to hand several tiles and some tile spacers.
With the batten in front of you mark the width of a tile spacer from the left edge of the batten.
Now place the top left edge of a tile against the mark you just made.
Leave that tile where it is and butt up another tile with another tile spacer in between.
Repeat step 5 until you have placed tiles along the whole length of the batten (see
fig 1.1
Next ensuring the tiles and spacers are
against each other mark the batten with a felt tip pen (or similar) on both edges of each tile.
Then using a set square, mark along the whole width of the batten with a pen (see
fig 1.2
Now mark your batten in the middle of each tile with a different colour pen (see
fig 1.2
Next trim the batten at the mark of the last tile on the right (no spacer).
If your tiles are taller than they are wide then make another guide rod in the same way except place the tiles length ways with their side against the batten (remember to place tile spacers inbetween). Mark this batten as
and mark the batten you made earlier as
Finding the horizontal and vertical centres
The next step is to find the horizontal centre of the wall. Measure the wall from top to bottom to find the centre, mark the position and then use your level to mark the position across the whole surface (see
fig 1.3
Do the same for the vertical centre, measure from left to right and mark the centre position, then use the level to mark the entire surface from top to bottom (see
fig 1.3
You can also find the centre spot of a wall by running string or a chalk line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, then the top right corner to the bottom left corner. Where the two meet in the middle is the centre.
Checking the horizontal tile positions
Now with your guide rod (horizontally) butt the right end (with no spacer gap) up against your vertical centre line, ensure the guide rod is level (see
fig 1.4
If your guide rod is more than a tile width short of the adjoining wall then mark the left hand edge of the guide rod. Slide the rod to the left and butt one of the other tile marks (excluding spacer) up against the mark you just made (see
fig 1.5
You can now see how much you will have to cut off the last tile on the left, if you find the gap on the left is too small then try aligning one of your
tile centre
lines on your guide rod with the vertical centre line on the wall.
When you are happy with the horizontal positioning of the tiles mark each tile edge on the wall.
Checking the vertical tile positions
To find the ideal vertical positioning you can use the same method as you just used for the horizontal positions (using a different guide rod if your tiles are taller than wide).
When you are planning your tile positions bear in mind that most floors are slightly uneven, it can cause problems if you position your tiles based on a full tile at the bottom.
Because the bottom row of tiles is one of the last rows to complete, you can get around this problem by leaving the space for the bottom tile smaller than the height of the tile, this allows you to trim each individual bottom tile to the exact size later.
For example, if your tile was 30cm (11.8in) tall then you would make the gap for the bottom tile 26cm (10.2in), leaving you 4cm (1.6in) to play with if the floor around the room runs unlevel.
Fixing the horizontal batten to the wall
When you have marked out the best tile positioning both vertically and horizontally get to hand two pieces of perfectly straight edged batten.
One piece of batten about 10cm (8in) shorter than the surface width, and the other about 10cm (8in) shorter than the height of the surface to be tiled.
To fix the batten to the wall you can either use nails or screws and plugs, usually it is better to use screws as it is more sturdy to support the tiles until the tile adhesive has hardened sufficiently.
Place the batten you made for the width directly on and under the horizontal line you made for the bottom row of tiles earlier (see
fig 1.6
), use your spirit level to ensure you get a nice level line off the batten.
Screw the batten securely to the wall at regular intervals (around every 30cm (1ft)) always ensuring the batten is level.
Vertical batten placement
The next step is to fix the vertical batten to the wall. Take a piece of batten about 10cm (8in) shorter than the height of the wall and place it against the vertical line you made for the first tile in the row (see
fig 1.7
Screw the batten securely to the wall at regular intervals (around every 30cm (1ft)) using your spirit level to ensure the batten is perfectly vertical.
Applying the tile adhesive
Before mixing your tile adhesive you should calculate how much you will need (guidance to the coverage is usually given on the manufacturer's instructions) and try not to make too much at a time.
Mix your tile adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. When ready, apply the adhesive to the wall using your tile trowel, try to ensure an even coat. Use the teeth on the tile trowel to create ridges of adhesive (see
fig 1.8
Apply the adhesive to an area about 2 and a half tiles wide and 3cm (one inch) higher than the top of the tile's height.
Installing the first ceramic tile
This step should not be rushed as the first tile will dictate the run of the rest of the tiles.
To install the first tile, sit it tight into the corner you have made with your battens (see
fig 1.9
) then push it against the wall firmly, use your level to ensure it is perfectly placed.
Another important check is to place your spirit level vertically on the face of the tile to ensure it is sitting up straight. If you are not happy with the placement then it is better to upseat the tile, clean the area of adhesive and then start again.
Laying the second ceramic tile
Place another tile on the wall next to the first, if you are using tile spacers then insert them inbetween the 2 tiles to space evenly.
Ensure the tile is pressed gently against the wall. Check your horizontal and vertical levels, place your spirit level across the top edge of both tiles to check they are running level.
By placing your level across the faces of both tiles together at the top and the bottom will ensure they are both sitting upright.
When you are happy with the positioning apply more adhesive to the surface, enough to allow you to lay the rest of the tiles in this row.
Laying the rest of the ceramic tiles in the row
Continue laying the tiles in the same way (using spacers if required). As you work along, use your level to check each tile's placement individually and with its neighbouring tiles as you lay them.
Don't forget to check for skewing by placing the spirit level across the faces of the tile you are laying and its neighbouring tiles.
If you find that a tile has sunk too much compared to its neighbour then use your trowel to gently pull the tile away from the wall. Repair the area with your tile trowel to even out the adhesive and remove any adhesive from the back of the tile.
Place a small blob of adhesive onto the back of the tile in the area that is sitting too shallow, then place it back into position to check (may take a few attempts to judge the amount of extra adhesive to use).
Laying the remaining rows of the ceramic tiles
When you have finished laying the final full tile in the row, use your tile trowel to remove any excess tile adhesive from the wall on the right of this row of tiles and get to hand a piece of straight batten.
Hold it against the face of the tiles to ensure they are all uniform and then place it along the top edge of the row to check the tiles are level. If the height of a tile needs adjusting use a tile spacer or a piece of card to lift it slightly from the batten.
When applying the adhesive to the surface you can put on just enough for however many tiles you feel comfortable in laying in one time, although you shouldn't finish for the day halfway through a row.
Use your tile trowel to apply adhesive to the area ready for the next row of tiles and continue laying them. If required, use the tile spacers to make the grout line between this row and the first.
After completing each row remove the excess adhesive at the right edge (see
fig 2.1
Use your batten to align the tiles on the right edge as you do each row.
When you have finished all of the rows of the full tiles take advantage of the adhesive still being pliable to check and correct any tiles that may have slipped out of position.
Allow the tile adhesive to set (see manufacturer's instructions) before removing the battens.
Measuring & marking the top tiles
Each top tile must be measured individually to ensure a perfect fit, take a new tile and place it
face down
on top of the tile in the row beneath (see
fig 2.2
Slide the tile up to the top of the surface, if you want a grout line at the top then lower the tile a spacer's width from the top, also, if you are using spacers between your rows (grout lines) then leave enough space when marking the tile.
When you are happy with the position of the tile, use a felt pen to mark the edge of the tile on both sides using the top of the lower tile for a guide (see
fig 2.2
Notice we have placed a
on the piece of tile which is to be used and an
on the piece to discard, this can avoid getting the tile pieces mixed up.
If you are measuring and cutting all of the tiles before you start laying them, then it is a good idea to number them so you know where each piece of tile goes when you come to lay them.
Measuring & marking the edge tiles
Like the top tiles, the edge tiles must be measured individually to ensure a perfect fit, take a new tile and place it
face down
on top of the full tile at the edge of the tile field (see
fig 2.3
). Slide the tile over to the adjoining wall, check the tile is level and then mark the back of the tile (allowing a spacer's width if required) in two positions, using the adjacent tile as a guide (see
fig 2.3
To mark the piece for the opposite side of this row of tiles, simply do the reverse of the above.
Measuring & marking the bottom tiles
The bottom tiles also need to be measured individually, place a new tile face down on the tile in the row above.
Lower it to the bottom of the wall/surface, if you want a grout line then lift the tile a spacer's width back up.
Mark the tile on the back in the two positions showed in
fig 2.4
(allowing the extra space for a grout line if required).
Again we have added a
and an
to distinguish between the two pieces of tile once they have been cut.
Finishing off the markings
Once you have made your initial marks, use the pen to follow the marks around from the back of the tile to the edges, then mark round to the face of the tile.
Take a straight piece of batten or a steel rule and join the two lines together across the
of the tile, which should give you a precise cutting line.

Northern Spain by car
A couple of close friends along with my wife and I recently returned from a long planned car tour of northern Spain. It was a wonderful trip with good weather overall. I don't know what I was expecting but Northern Spain landscape is much more diverse then my expectations.
I carried with me a "Bad Elf" GPS tracker everywhere I went and so was able to applied locational metadata to all our photos (2200+) after importing them to Lightroom. It was a great device which I turned on in the mornings and then forgot about until the end of the day.
Besides applying the locational data I've not even managed an initial screening processing on the photos as life requirements have consumed much of my time this week. I'm looking to reinsert myself into the work force after a prolonged retirement/semi-retirement and had to complete some tasks for that process this week.
Our trip supplied not only beautiful scenic vistas, but also a chance to explore some of the abundant history and art of Spain dating back hundreds or thousands of years. Pretty impressive for this lad from the United States, a country with less then 300 years of history.
Once I get fully into processing the Spain trip photos I'll be posting more of them. However, I felt the need to at least acknowledge the trip in this quick post.

I love the look of venetian plaster for my guest bathroom, before I received my first estimate and realized it was to expensive. Wallpaper that looks the same is an option I know would make me happy. But DH is talking about wanting to move in next 4-5 yrs. Everything I read about selling talks about removing wallpaper, which is what I'm doing in mud/laundry room as I update it with cabinets above W&D, and a few other updates. I'm thinking of painting it shaker beige. Having plain painted walls in the guest bathroom I think I will find upsetting. Thinking it out, I'm thinking about faux painting that I don't think I will ever love but think I will be ok with it, as a possibility. Do you think I should be sensible and just find a faux painting that will look ok? Or should I get the wallpaper realizing that I may have to take it down, or have make the selling of the house harder? Thanks in advance for your help! |

4-5 years is a tricky time frame. I'd generally hope that a remodel last at least 10 years, so I am tempted to say don't do anything that isn't additive for resale. but then again 5 years is a long time to live with something. If it's very subtle, you probably won't have to change it. Have you looked into American Clay? I have it in several areas of my home, in shades of white. It looks similar to plaster, but IIRC it costs less. |
I don't think most people would have a problem with venetian-plaster-look wallpaper in a "small" bathroom. Nobody loves to remove wallpaper, but one bathroom isn't going to stop a sale. We looked at a house once that had wallpaper in most of the public rooms and in the large 2-story foyer. That was going to cost a small fortune to remove because it was going to need scaffolding and paid labor to remove. When we made an offer we accounted for the cost of removing all that wallpaper. Luckily we didn't buy the house! Can you post a link to the wallpaper and we can give you feedback on how many of us here would be ok buying a house with that paper in a spare bathroom? |
mtnrdredux' Thanks for the info on American Clay, I never heard of it, and does have the effect I'm looking for. I will be checking to see if this will be more affordable. Chispa I'm talking about a full bathroom, large in relation to the size of the rooms in my small ranch style house and the one guests use when over. I actually fell in love with a friends newly updated bathroom because of the walls, initially thinking it was wallpaper, and finding out later it wasn't. I would use wallpaper if I knew for sure I could leave it up and not affect the sale of my house. |

Under the cloak of the anonymity of the internet, I will be very honest. I don't think a buyer would consider it a plus. It's not a "minus" like silver paper with red flocking, but, to me, it looks vaguely Tuscan. To me, Tuscan is kind of an 80's look and something most people are now taking out, not putting in. All of that said, it certainly isn't offensive and in a small, room, no biggie. It may also be true that in your area, Tuscan is still popular. Things do vary quite a bit by region. HTh! |

I think if it is very subtle and neutral you will be OK. A friend of ours is very artistic and 10 years ago venetian plastered their powder room in a deep purple. He did a beautiful job, but honestly, it looks very dated now. I don't think faux finishes in general are very popular anymore...just my opinion. |
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Mon, Mar 10, 14 at 11:34
Have you thought about a few layers of paint and glaze to get the look you want? It's a fun project but could be painted over in the future. |
Properly applied wallpaper - or better to say, properly prepped wallpaper - comes off pretty easily. You could put it up now and decide in five years whether to keep or take down. |
I know you have a certain look you want and this won't be the same, but have you considered maybe stenciling instead of paper? It might be the oomph for your bath that you don't want to live without, yet is easy to paint over if you decide you need to when ready to sell. Beekeeperswife did a fab purple(!) stenciled powder room, that you can find by searching GW. Here are some more pics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: stenciled walls
I think it'd be fine, and like Gray said, if you're putting it on a properly prepped wall, it won't be terrible to remove should your Realtor at the time of sale advise it. You're going to be there 4-5 years. That's a long time to not be happy with your own bathroom. |
Thanks for all suggestions. I appreciate your thoughts on faux painting, but agree 4-5 years is a long time to live with something I don't really want. I love how Bee's bathroom came out. Was thinking at one point to have the bathroom painted, and try to stencil on my own, but I'm afraid because I have problems with my spine of not being able to complete in a timely manor. I realize now that it was the Purple Bathroom which made me realize I didn't want plain painted walls, and that until I saw the venetian plaster I didn't see anything I liked that much, except probably a subtle stencil. Will give all a lot of thought.... |
I did a small stenciling project in my kitchen (stencil instead of tiled backsplash), and it was a lot of fun! The hard part in a bathroom would be the edges and small walls and cramped spaces - but the same things make a bathroom difficult to wallpaper. At least with stenciling, you could skip the space behind the toilet tank, because the base wall color would still be there. With wallpaper, you're stuck doing everything. Just to back up graywings - wallpaper comes off pretty easily if it's prepped right. |
if you aren't moving for ~ 5 yrs, i would absolutely do what you like!!! who knows what the market will be like in 5 yrs and who knows what will be 'in'... and, who knows if you will actually move. size the walls so the paper will come off quite easily should the new owners want to change the bathroom. it isn't something loud or crazy that would deter someone from buying the house or make someone 'cringe', imo! (and i can't imagine anyone offering less for a house because there is some wallpaper in the bathroom!) most people want to make a house 'their own' if they can afford it anyway and if they can't, i think it is neutral enough that many/most people would be able to live with it, especially in a guest bathroom! |

In the house I sold 7 yrs ago and lived in for 14 yrs, I had wallpaper on almost all the 1st floor walls. All the paper coordinated and was very neutral. The house sold in the first open house to a younger couple. They bought it because they loved the wallpaper and paint colors besides the lovely location. I think if you keep it neutral and not too trendy, it may not be a disadvantage. |

Interesting. Holly and Crystall (I wonder if it's pronounced differently from Crystal because of the double Ls) in particular. I wouldn't use them myself, but I think it's nice to see girls names on boys (when boys names on girls are widely accepted, why not the other way around as well?) As for the other boys names, I really like Galen, Frost, Rhys and Taranis.
The other day I met a little boy named Vinter (Danish equivalent of Winter), thought that was pretty cool.

I liked Holly and Aisling actually, on these characters. Holly is very aggressive and Aisling is very mysterious. I like seeing it too even if I wouldn't have used those names on boys. I keep a list of all the boys I've met with girl names. ^_^
I've actually met two boys named Winter And two that were Willow (one by birth, the other by choice).Mother, Hellenic Pagan Priestess, and Resident Greek name expert ^_^ Call me Dantea or Remy

I loathe boy names on girls, but for some reason, girls names on boys isn't such a big deal. I mean, sometimes I think it can be a little tacky, but it's never like, "You named your son Ashley? Pshhh." Because it was a boys name. Is that weird?

Victoria's Secret Model Candice Swanepoel Parades Around in Multiple Bikinis (PHOTOS)
Why have one bikini when you can wear three?
Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel hit the surf of St. Bart's this week for a sexy photo shoot. Sporting an array of itty-bitty bikinis, the leggy blonde was seen frolicking in the water as a photographer snapped away for an upcoming Victoria's Secret catalog.
But Candince wasn't the only VS Angel in town...
Fellow model Adriana Lima shot her bikini spread on Thursday afternoon. The 30-year-old celebrity mom (we can't believe it either!) was seen showing off her curves in a floral two-piece. Check out her shoot below!

1st if you don't know what smart cast is/means try this: pick some champion with a targetable skill or skill shot and hold shift before you hit the skill key (Q W E R) basically it will automatically cast that spell where your mouse cursor is. it's like Cass, Urgot and Karthus' Q. (you can also change your key binds in the options to smart cast) 2nd The Suggestion: add an option to toggle the smart cast. so you could bind a key / combination of keys and quickly toggle smart cast on/off for each skill separately. if necessary we could have a button near the skills (right click would work too), something like: Attachment 213359 Green 'S' = smart cast on Red 'S' = smart cast off I'm not sure about the HUD that's just an example, imo it's not that necessary but would be cool and make things a lot easier.
yes please :] this would be perfect.
Pretty good idea. I have to turn it off for rumble ult. Cant smartcast that to save my life
You are dumb right? If you go to keybindings and replace all the smart casting shift + QWER with just Q, W, E and R, then you can have mouse over casting on only the spells you choose. If I play rumble or a champion where i dont like smartcast on a certain spell, I go into keybindings and put that spell (say it's Q, I'd assign Q) to the regular casting spot, and not the smartcasting spot. edit; this is all ingame.
don't know why this isn't implemented already...
Attachment 210941 next time read the thread.
Arthur Crackpot
I am in full support of this idea.
I am agreeing. I personally would make it so numlock toggled smart cast on and off.
omg yes! if this is implemented then I can finally play Jarvan perfectly without having to always switch my key bindings or mess up my E>Q combo just because I was too lazy to switch it. Smart cast Q and E Normal cast W and R
You can use ASDF for smart cast and get this behavior today or just rebind the keys you like on a per-game basis.
While I like the idea, the number of skills that require you to actually regular cast them is low (aside from a few ultimates, which ones?). It should not be too painstaking to change it in the options if you are playing that individual champ. On the other hand, if you just prefer regular casting over smartcasting for certain abilities on each champ, then yes, this is a useful and good idea. +1

layer cake tips + the biggest birthday cake yet
My father-in-law, youthful guy that he is, turned 60 this past weekend and if you think I was going to allow my in-laws to purchase him a cake from a bakery, oh, you don't know how even typing those words caused the shudder to rise up in my chest. A bakery cake! Promise me if I make it to 60, I get a homemade cake too. I hope to have leveraged enough cake-baking karma by then to not even have to ask.
But this isn't about my father-in-law's birthday cake, or not entirely. (But you'll see the recipe later, you know, just in case you ever want to make your own 12-inch square insanely chocolaty cake.) I am long overdue to share with you many of my favorite layer cake tips. I get a lot of email about them, people asking about the logistics of putting them together and I realize I've absorbed a lot of advice over the last fifteen or so, and I'm overdue to sum it up in one neat place. So here we go!

At Koozie's Sports Pub, the clack of pool balls commingles with the clink of beer mugs and the laughter of friends and neighbors. Guests sip on domestic and imported beers and snack on loaded fries or nachos before digging into entrees main dishes of Cuban sandwiches, burgers, wings, or Friday-night fish fries. Throughout the week, the bar hosts entertainments such as karaoke, pool tournaments, or TV broadcasts of Miami sports games' thrilling commercials.
Where there's smoke, there's a fiery Groupon. Fill your lungs with one night of unlimited fruity deliciousness at the plush and swanky Meridian Hookah Lounge (a $12 value). Meridian is an intimate and relaxing lounge that's open until 3 a.m. and has live music several nights a week.
The Rack boasts impressive lunch, dinner, sushi, and cocktail menus at both the Hyde Park and Brandon eateries. House favorites include the Bomber ($12.95–$14.95), a specialty sushi roll of cooked and uncooked delights (snow crab, avocado, and asparagus topped with salmon, tuna, and eel sauce) served with tempura chips. Or blast through hunger with the Volcano roll's cucumber, crab, cream cheese, avocado, eel sauce, and spicy mayo ($12.95–$13.95). Fusion appetizers, salads, sandwiches, single rolls, and chef special entrees round out The Rack's eclectic menus into a rolling billiard ball made of sticky rice.
Though the staff at The Brass Tap take beer very seriously, they've nevertheless turned drinking it into a game. Customers get a single point for each of the pub's 300 craft beers that they try. At certain milestones, they'll receive gift cards or a t-shirt with a new title, all the way from rookie to beer guru?and, if they conquer the challenge three times, they can win the coveted Repeat Offender 900 shirt.
Thankfully, the bar makes it easy to sort through its 300 beers. The menu is divided up into different beer types, which go deeper than the basic delineation of ale vs. lager vs. water that's been dyed amber. Guests can peruse listings of bottled barleywines and porters, or have a resident beer aficionado fill their mug with an imported brew on draft. Beer even permeates the food: the chipotle mustard on the house-baked pretzels is made with pale ale, just as the cheese dip is made with Samuel Adams. All of the burgers, sandwiches, and pretzel pizzas also have recommended drink pairings.
As for entertainment, each Brass Tap books a variety of local bands throughout the week. Trivia, bingo, and happy hours find regular spots on the schedule, and some locations have outdoor patios and cigars for purchase.
There is an activity for family members of any age at Timeout Family Pub & Grub. While kids try to beat their top scores on the racecar-driving simulator, adults can catch the day's football games on massive projection screens or simply chat with friends as they shoot some pool. But when the food comes, the whole clan gathers back at the restaurant's dining counter. There, they enjoy hearty daily specials such as homemade shepherd's pie, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and pulled pork sandwiches. Most days, the chefs include at least one seafood option to showcase the area's freshest catch and to appease the ghost in their oven who demands both land and sea tributes.
Though years of working as a trainer for chain restaurants taught Mike Tolley how to cook quality food efficiently, it was the slower, lower-heat cooking that he enjoyed the most. So when he decided to open his own restaurant, Uncle Mike's Smokehouse, he eschewed traditional fast-food preparation in favor of the slow smoking that gives meat a rich, complex favor. He and his chefs grill everything from pork shanks and chicken wings to St. Louis?style barbecue and steaks. They don't just specialize in savory, smoky flavors, however. They also add a sweet note to meals with slices of cornbread, vanilla maple sweet potatoes, and bourbon-laced pecan pie.

Marc Loftus is the Senior Editor and Director of Web Content for Post Magazine. He has been with the monthly publication since 1992, reporting on new technologies and creative techniques relating to film, television and commercial post production. In that time, he has witnessed the transition from linear to nonlinear, analog to digital, stereo to surround, SD to HD, tape-based to file-based, and 2D to 3D. Marc is a graduate of The New York Institute of Technology.
LAS VEGAS – Sony continues its support of the UMD format with the introduction of UMD Composer 2, a software-only solution that allows users to encode and multiplex content, create interactive elements, and generate the final disc image. The company says over 30 facilities worldwide are currently using UMD Composer to create content for the UMD format that runs on its popular PSP portable gaming system.
LAS VEGAS – At NAB, JVC gathered members of the press to reflect on the success of its GY-HD100 camcorder, as well as to introduce two new Pro HD products. JVC reports that there are now 12,000 GY-HD100 HDV cameras in the field, being used in applications that range from features (Madagascar) to television shows (Inked) to promos and opens (Good Morning America).
LAS VEGAS – Apple introduced a 17-inch version of its MacBook Pro at NAB. The new mobile workstation will begin shipping next week and incorporates the Core Duo architecture with 2.16 GHz processors.
LAS VEGAS – At Avid's NAB press conference, the company's Digidesign (www.digidesign.com) business announced that is has sold its 1,000th Icon mixing console, a 48-fader dual-operator D-Control to Walt Disney Pictures and Television. The mixing console will be used to mix the next season of the hit television show Lost. The company also announced further integration with Avid's Media Composer line of nonlinear editors.
LAS VEGAS – NewTek (www.newtek.com) is showing a powerful, yet low-cost nonlinear editor at NAB that allows users to mix HD and SD video all on the same timeline. Priced at $495 and scheduled to ship this summer, SpeedEdit supports AVI, QuickTime, Flash and MPEG formats.
The annual NAB show attracts as many as 100,000 attendees to Las Vegas every April for the purpose of checking out the latest in broadcast technologies. But, as anyone who frequents iTunes knows, the meaning of broadcasting is changing, and you no longer have to be a network or TV station to distribute content.
ANCHORAGE, AK – Minneapolis-based freelance director of photography, Mark Falstad, is the first in the US to get his hands on Sony's new XDCAM HD camera. The company approached Falstad to shoot footage for its upcoming NAB exhibit. It needed to show the capabilities of the new HD camera as well as reassure potential buys as to the stability and reliability of both the camera and its optical disk media. So off to Alaska Falstad headed to participate in the annual Iditarod dog-sled race, where the PDW-350 would be exposed to both sub-zero temperatures and the dangers of the Iditarod trail.
CHICAGO – Agency FCB, here, recently came up with a marketing idea for client KFC that combats a television audience's willingness to skip over commercials while promoting the restaurant chain's Buffalo Snacker sandwich, and even rewarding astute viewers for paying attention in return.
With NAB only weeks away, a number of manufacturers have already shown their hand, revealing what they'll have on display in Las Vegas.
SANTA MONICA, CA - Spitfire Media (www.spitfire-media.com) got into UMD authoring right after Sony introduced the PSP in early 2005. The studio has an ongoing relationship with Universal, having authored a number of DVD titles, and found itself in a position to take on UMD work for titles it was already familiar with.

Lilongwe - The Government of Japan has renewed its commitment to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), contributing a total of US$2.1 million in support of the most food-insecure and vulnerable people in Malawi, including refugees.
22 January 2014
LILONGWE – A new project to establish best practices for tackling stunting is being launched in Malawi today. Recurrent food insecurity, poor dietary diversity and repeated illness are among the root causes of stunting (low growth for age) among nearly 1 million Malawian children under five – almost half the country's children in this age group.
11 December 2013
LILONGWE – The Government of Ireland has announced a contribution to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) of more than US$1.3 million (MWK .5 billion) to boost food and nutrition security among some of the poorest households in Malawi.
6 December 2013
LILONGWE – The United Kingdom has contributed US$22 million (MWK 8.4 billion) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to assist Malawian families who are unable to meet their basic food needs. This contribution will enable WFP to provide food assistance to some 910,000 people for several months of the 'lean season', between now and March when the next harvest is due.
14 November 2013
LILONGWE –The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has contributed food and cash valued at US$18.2 million (MK 6.1 billion) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to assist Malawians facing food shortages due to a combination of bad weather during the growing season as well as high food prices.
22 October 2013
WASHINGTON – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has been awarded US$81 million in food commodities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support meals in the classroom for children in the developing world.
2 October 2013
LILONGWE – The Government of Malawi along with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other partners yesterday launched a relief operation to meet a rise in Malawi's food needs due to bad weather during the growing season and high food prices. The areas of greatest need are more widely spread than last year and include the traditional surplus areas of central and northern Malawi.
22 March 2013
LILONGWE – The UK Government, through UKaid, has contributed US$7.8 million (£5 million pounds sterling) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help provide school meals to children in Malawi.
21 February 2013
The Government of Malawi has donated to the UN World Food Programme an extra 47,466 metric tons of maize from the country's Strategic Grain Reserve. This allocation, valued at $11.6 million (MK 4.18 billion), will bolster relief operations for nearly 2 million people identified by the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee as food insecure. This brings the total Government of Malawi relief contributions since August to 72,466 tones, worth $ 17.1 million (MK 6.2 billion).
18 December 2012
LILONGWE – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has joined forces with the Government of Malawi and mobile telecommunications company Airtel to launch an innovative cash transfer programme to help more than 100,000 people affected by food shortages in central and southern Malawi. Funding for the initiative is being provided by UKAID.

Anarchist Threaten Republican Convention! Police State Propaganda Reel #cnn
Submitted by RonPaulSwede on Fri, 08/24/2012 - 06:13They are even talking about potential use of IED´s 0_0!? You know what this means? The try to close everything down because they are scared sh*tless of what protesters and supporters of Ron will do.
I understand it all now. Think of it as a play. Actors follow a script and the ones who write the script don´t want anybody messing with it, thus the strict rules all over.
This is a key play in Tampa, I hope everybody knows this.
Will someone in the audience please stand up?

We aren't the "anarchists"?
They aren't scared of us at all. They're talking about the Occupy guys and other far-left protesters. We are non-violent and have already been crushed by the national GOP establishment and various state GOP establishments. The leftists have other plans, which include throwing things and screaming abuse.
What we are doing in Tampa is now completely independent of the GOP, with our own rallies and festivals. We will be protesting against them, but will be doing so peacefully. If anyone intends to protest, I recommend you don't do it anywhere near the radical leftist protesters and also act as respectfully as possible while still trying to get your views across. This is just to avoid the GOP attempting to group them with us and using that as an excuse to exclude us in 2014 and 2016.

There's a lot more people
There's a lot more people than us protesting, and we're hugely outnumbered by them. Remember Tampa is a Democrat-dominated city.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (6-4)
@Seton Hall Pirates (8-1)
Saturday, December 10
Prudential Center
Attendance: 6,981
Wake Forest
Seton Hall
Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Herb Pope notched a double-double with 26 points and 14 rebounds to lead Seton Hall over Wake Forest, 68-54, in non- conference action at the Prudential Center.
The Pirates (8-1) also received contributions from Fuquan Edwin and Jordan Theodore, who each scored 14 points.
Travis McKie led the Demon Deacons (6-5) with 17 points, while C.J. Harris chipped in with 12 points.
Seton Hall used a 20-5 run midway through the first to take control of the game and take a 33-22 lead into halftime. The Demon Deacons were able to cut the deficit to just six early in the second period, but the Pirates were able to counter and push their advantage back to double digits to cruise to the home victory.
Seton Hall finished the game hitting on 48.9 percent of its field goals while Wake Forest could manage to hit on only 39.6 percent of its shots from the floor. Both teams struggled from long-range, with the Pirates making just 4- of-15 three-pointers and the Demon Deacons hitting just 2-of-16 from beyond the arc. The Pirates held an advantage inside, as they outscored the Demon Deacons in the paint, 36-26, and outrebounded them, 33-28.

This is a terrific lightweight corrector. Very convenient for minor blemishes. I gave it a four simply b/c there must be another corrector pencil out there with a better colour range (what's a PPP supposed to wear in the summer?) and a similarly non-clogging formula that would last just slightly longer on me. I use it over foundation and/or powder, otherwise it's just too obvious and slides off quickly.
Previously, I had purchased Shiseido's tube concealer, which I liked a lot. However, I did not use it often, except for covering occasional red pimples. Also, blending was a hassle. This pencil suits my needs. I have #2, medium naturel. It's sanitary, non-cakey, easy to dot on blemishes--and to my surprise, long-lasting!
SUPERB. I normally don't like pencil concealers because they're just plain painful when I try and 'draw' on my face. Shiseido's is different though. It's creamy and soft and I can color in my zits without wincing in pain. The tip is a bit small for coloring under my eyes quickly, but it's perfect for covering up zits and small imperfections.
continued >>
The best portable concealor. I have used the end nub in my little makeup pouch attached to my keys and I am good to go. A little sheer for my pigmentation problems, but makes them better and clears the other small dots on my cheeks.
I love this product! I have it in "light" and it's great for my undereye circles. I use it to color in the shadow at the very bottom of the dark circle -- the pencil tip makes it very easy to layer on heavy coverage precisely. It's also good for quickly evening out color irregularities around the lipline.
This is a narrow pencil concealer (eyeliner width). I have the "light" colour which is perfect for my fair, neutral/warm-toned skin. I have a lot of marks on my cheeks and chin from past breakouts and this works wonderfully at concealing and virtually erasing them. I prefer concealers in pencil form as they are much easier to use as well as more portable. This also lasts longer on me than cream or liquid concealers which seem to slip off my face when it starts to get a little oily. It's labeled as non-comedogenic and hasn't caused me any problems in this regard. I've repurchased this several times and will continue to do so.
More reviews by littlebabynothing
This is a nice little item...When you need to correct and conceal a little something... The pencil is easy to use and make a precise dot on whatever you want to conceal!
I use this pencil sharpened to outline around my lipstick and eyeliner to keep it from smudging, works great. If you accidentaly put on too much liner, it is great to remove any extra.
I love love love this make up corrector pencil. I use it every day to just dot on any place on my skin that has any redness to it. I also use this as a lip liner outside of my lips and it does an excellent job of keeping my lipstick from bleeding. This is so handy to carry around. I will never be without it!

Pro-life groups in Maryland are hoping state regulators will revoke an abortionist's medical license and file murder charges after a patient under his care died.
State authorities are investigating the death of 29-year-old Jennifer Morbelli, who passed away Feb. 7, just days after receiving an abortion from late-term abortion doctor Leroy Carhart.
An initial medical examiner's report shows she suffered from a "complication related to childbirth in which amniotic fluid was pushed into her bloodstream."
Now, the group Operation Rescue is seeking second-degree murder charges against Carhart, saying Morbelli's family was unable to reach him as her condition worsened and that he, in fact, had left town.
"There was no one for the family to contact when her condition began to deteriorate back at the hotel. She was not properly monitored. They knew it," Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for Operation Rescue, said.
Jack Ames, co-founder of Defend Life, said, "He left for Nebraska and later that evening she was bleeding profusely and she had to go to the nearby hospital."
Montgomery county police say their investigation into Morbelli's death "remains active" while they wait for the full autopsy report.
Pro-life groups also want the Maryland Board of Physicians to revoke Carhart's medical license. Some protestors recently stood vigil outside the building while the board met.
More than 1,300 people have signed a petition online, asking the board to take action.
Maryland medical examiner's office says a full autopsy report takes 60 to 90 days to complete.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Brian Liepe: There are so many advantages to using external monitors with your DSLR. Most DSLRs have a mini HDMI connection from which you can send an HD video signal to a third-party monitor. Typically, the screens are larger than the LCD on the back of your camera and with the proper hardware, we can reposition the screen to accommodate different shooting conditions. A lot of these monitors have a variety of tools that can help us with focusing and exposure. They can tell us where our highlights are not protected. They can enhance edges and pixels and lines and contours to help us achieve focus as well.
One of the most valuable benefits to using a monitor is that the image can be more easily shared with your collaborators onset. Positioning the monitor or looping the signal through to additional monitors allows your team to see what's being captured by the camera. This helps with communication immensely, which is super important on set.

Economic reports will include consumer credit and the trade deficit for March, and companies reporting results will include Walt Disney, Macy's and News Corporation.
Data will include consumer credit and the trade for June, and companies reporting earnings will include Walt Disney, News Corporation and J. C. Penney.
Reports will include the trade deficit for March and the Consumer Price Index for April. Companies reporting earnings will include Walt Disney and Macy's.
By Charles Margolis: The Mouse I hope we never lose sight of one thing: it was all started by a mouse. - Walt Disney (October 1954) Walt Disney Company (DIS) stock is up 50 percent since last October's 52 week low of 29.00 dollars a share. The company reports earnings Tuesday, May 8th 2012.
Space Mountain at Walt Disney World in Orlando is one of the most nostalgic rides in America. Originally conceived by Walt Disney himself, the project was put on hold indefinitely after his death in 1966. The attraction was eventually given the green light in the '70s, and astronaut Gordon Cooper joined the creative team to help make the roller coaster seem more like an actual space flight.
Those who think a collapsing currency are a sure-fire way to increase exports need to rethink their beliefs.
ByFusion Research:Walt Disney (DIS), the largest operator of theme parks and resorts and owner of ESPN, reported total revenue of $11.58 billion up 4% from the previous year in its third-quarter results.
Reports will include consumer credit and the trade deficit for November and companies reporting earnings will include Monsanto and Wells Fargo.
1. The Federal Reserve upgraded its assessment of the labor market in its statement at the end of last month. It noted that the "under-utilization of labor resources was gradually diminishing". There was nothing in the October jobs report that will challenge that assessment. The Fed's new labor market conditions index will be released at the start of the week and the JOLTS report on Thursday.
Vice Media is reportedly selling 10% of itself to A&E Television Networks, a deal that values the digital media company at around $2.5 billion. The deal is expected to be announced sometime during the coming week. A&E, jointly owned by Hearst Corporation and The Walt Disney Company (DIS), will be investing $250 million in the digital media firm, according to the Financial Times.
ByFusion Research:In our previous research on Walt Disney (DIS), we discussed the issues regarding the retransmission fees paid by Dish Network (DISH) to Disney in order to carry the ESPN channel.

I think he's saying that the contents of $message are showing up literally, rather than being treated as HTML.
Try passing headers to the mail function that flag the message as HTML. Check the PHP reference for how to do this. Also, I noticed in a comment there that gmail needs the header lines to be terminated by a real newline (\n) rather than a Windows newline (\r\n).

You could do this yourself or you could use a pre-written class such as PHPMailer or PEAR::mail to do it. Those classes have proven code in them and are re-usable. Sending mail with PHP is a little more complicated than just using the mail function.
If you want the mail to get to accounts on the big mail services, and survive all the things that can happen to email messages between the time that the MTA gets the message from mail(), till it reaches it's destination, the format and in many cases the content, have to be just so.
I suppose if you had an interest in learning the MIME email spec, you could put together your own class, but if you just want it to work and move on, using the above mentioned classes is the way to go. Especially when you want to do attachments and HTML. There is definitely no excuse for writing the same email code out for multiple projects, rather than just putting together some re-usable scripts to do it.
Deliver yesterday, code today, think tomorrow.

Felicia Nimue Ackerman's May 27 Commentary piece ("On telling independent thinkers what they should think") is certainly welcome. Her main goal in teaching, as she points out, is not that her students agree with her. Rather, through the strength of their own arguments and scholarship, that a solid defense for their point of view is established. Terrific!
Wouldn't it be nice if students if, at freshman orientation, new students received a handbook with Professor Ackerman's point of view clearly expressed? Wait, on second thought, perhaps the college should also issue a faculty handbook for the one-sided faculty member who is political and lazy, and judges his students not on the strength of the evidence, but whether they happen to agree with his particular point of view. Talk about a bully in the classroom!

5 FANTASTIC GAME!!!garygamer123649 | 20/04/2008 | See all garygamer123649's reviews (4)This game is brilliant i would recomend to anyone who wants to buy. The levels are brilliant and it is ideal for hardcore gamers. well worth the monet too.
5 fantastic gameshadowlady190 | 06/12/2007 | See all shadowlady190's reviews (5)this is the best out of the two and i loved the other one but this is better inproved alot couldnt put it down fantastic game a must for everyone
4 OUTSTANDING AND ADDICTIVEfirenze | 01/01/2009 | See all firenze's reviews (20)The person below who rated this not that entertaining Link1254 whatever his name is definitley didn't give this a chance. This game is brilliant and is so addictive you just don't want to take it out of your psp to swap games. Now I'm not a hrdcore Syphon Filter fan as this is my first game from the series but it's made me want to buy one of the others.The graphics,voicing,cutscenes,gameplay everything is just incredible. I don't know how they pulled all of it of in one little tiny disc.Gameplay 9/10Graphics 10/10Cutscene Graphics 10/10Overall 9/10(Not an average)
4 Very Good! But no Dark Mirror beater!samwestern | 28/12/2007 | See all samwestern's reviews (7)Don't get me wrong this game is awesome. Visually stunning and the new features are exciting such as new underwater missions and improved interactivity. But anybody who has played Dark Mirror will be left somewhat dissapointed by the depth of the storyline and how short it actually is.There are not as many missions in Logans Shadow compared to Dark Mirror and this I personally think that this is the major reason that it is underpriced, afterall it is a good game much more fun than Splinter Cell.The major disappointment of Logans Shadow is the Multiplayer. Anyone new to the series will be calling me all sorts of names right now. But there is no longer a ranking system where you gain bonuses such as new weapons or increased health for higher ranks and the XP system is pointless and doesnt always work. Also if to many people are playing or there are several explosions the game lags and frame rates decrease causing some psps to crash. However the actual missions and map of the multiplayer are brilliant and a great improvement on Dark Mirror.All in all it is an absolutely amazing game however does not beat Dark Mirror to be fair no game as of yet has come close to beating Dark Mirror. Still a very good game don't get me wrong.
3 Syphon Filter, Logan's Shadow.NEWBS008 | 26/01/2008 | See all NEWBS008's reviews (2)I have played all the early games 1-2-3 and believe these were the best ones? However, I played that new one called Omega Strain.It was very hard to get into and it was slow to start! The movement of the game was absolutely rubbish. If they maker's had of kept to the way the first three were made it would of been far - better!The other problem was its over complicated controls!
