Henry Fuseli (German: Johann Heinrich Füssli) (7 February 1741 – 17 April 1825) was a Swiss painter, draughtsman and writer on art who worked and spent most of his life in Britain.
Fuseli was born in Zürich, Switzerland, the second of eighteen children. His father was Johann Caspar Füssli, a painter of portraits and landscapes, and author of Lives of the Helvetic Painters. He intended Henry for the church, and sent him to the Caroline college of Zurich, where he received an excellent classical education. One of his schoolmates there was Johann Kaspar Lavater, with whom he became close friends.
After taking orders in 1761 Fuseli was forced to leave the country as a result of having helped Lavater to expose an unjust magistrate, whose powerful family sought revenge. He first travelled through Germany, and then, in 1765, visited England, where he supported himself for some time by miscellaneous writing. Eventually, he became acquainted with Sir Joshua Reynolds, to whom he showed his drawings. Following Sir Joshua's advice he devoted himself wholly to art. In 1770 he made an art-pilgrimage to Italy, where he remained until 1778, changing his name from Füssli to Fuseli, because it was more Italian-sounding.
Early in 1779 he returned to Britain, taking in Zürich on his way. He found a commission awaiting him from Alderman Boydell, who was then organizing his famous Shakespeare Gallery. Fuseli painted a number of pieces for Boydell, and published an English edition of Lavater's work on physiognomy. He likewise gave William Cowper some valuable assistance in preparing a translation of Homer. In 1788 Fuseli married Sophia Rawlins (originally one of his models), and he soon after became an associate of the Royal Academy. The early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, whose portrait he had painted, planned a trip with him to Paris, and pursued him determinedly, but after Sophia's intervention the Fuseli's door was closed to her forever. Fuseli was later to say "I hate clever women. They are only troublesome".[1] In 1790 he was promoted to Academician for which he produced Thor battering the Midgard Serpent as his diploma work.[2]
In 1799 Fuseli exhibited a series of paintings from subjects furnished by the works of John Milton, with a view to forming a Milton gallery corresponding to Boydell's Shakespeare gallery. There were 47 Milton paintings, many of them very large; they were completed at intervals in the space of nine years. The exhibition, which closed in 1800, proved a commercial failure. In 1799 Fuseli was also appointed professor of painting to the Academy. Four years afterwards he was chosen as Keeper, and resigned his professorship; but he resumed it in 1810, and continued to hold both offices until his death. In 1805 he brought out an edition of Pilkington's Lives of the Painters, which did little for his reputation. As Keeper, he was succeeded by Henry Thomson.
Antonio Canova, when on his visit to England, was much taken with Fuseli's works, and on returning to Rome in 1817 caused him to be elected a member of the first class in the Academy of St Luke. Fuseli, after a life of uninterrupted good health, died at the house of the Countess of Guildford on Putney Hill,[3] at the advanced age of eighty-four. He was buried in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral. He was comparatively rich at his death.
As a painter, Fuseli favoured the supernatural. He pitched everything on an ideal scale, believing a certain amount of exaggeration necessary in the higher branches of historical painting. In this theory he was confirmed by the study of Michelangelo's works and the marble statues of the Monte Cavallo,[4] which, when at Rome, he liked to contemplate in the evening, relieved against a murky sky or illuminated by lightning. The violent and intemperate action which he often displays, in the conventional wisdom, destroys the grand effect of many of his pieces. A striking illustration of this occurs in his famous picture of "Hamlet breaking from his Attendants to follow the Ghost": Hamlet, it has been said, looks as though he would burst his clothes with convulsive cramps in all his muscles.
On the other hand, his paintings are never either languid or cold. His figures are full of life and earnestness, and seem to have an object in view which they follow with intensity. Like Rubens he excelled in the art of setting his figures in motion. Though the lofty and terrible was his proper sphere, Fuseli had a fine perception of the ludicrous. The grotesque humour of his fairy scenes, especially those taken from A Midsummer-Night's Dream, is in its way not less remarkable than the poetic power of his more ambitious works.
As a colourist Fuseli has but small claims to distinction but was a described as a master of light,and shadow.[5] He scorned to set a palette as most artists do; he merely dashed his tints recklessly over it. Not infrequently he used his paints in the form of a dry powder, which he hastily combined on the end of his brush with oil, or turpentine, or gold size, regardless of the quantity, and depending on accident for the general effect. This recklessness may perhaps be explained by the fact that he did not paint in oil until he was twenty-five years of age. Despite these drawbacks he possessed the elements of a great painter.
Fuseli painted more than 200 pictures, but he exhibited only a small number of them. His earliest painting represented "Joseph interpreting the Dreams of the Baker and Butler"; the first to excite particular attention was The Nightmare, exhibited in 1782. He painted two versions, shown in the Nightmare article. Themes seen in "The Nightmare" were repeated in his 1796 painting, "Night-Hag visiting the Lapland Witches."
His sketches or designs numbered about 800; they have admirable qualities of invention and design, and are frequently superior to his paintings. In his drawings, as in his paintings, his method included deliberately exaggerating the due proportions of the parts and throwing his figures into contorted attitudes. One technique involved setting down arbitrary points on a sheet, which then became the extreme points of the various limbs—rather like creating a constellation from the unintentional relations of stars. Notable examples of these drawings were made in concert with George Richmond when the two artists were together in Rome.
He rarely drew the figure from life, basing his art on study of the antique and Michelangelo. He produced no landscapes—"Damn Nature! she always puts me out," was his characteristic exclamation—and painted only two portraits.
His general powers of mind were large. He was a thorough master of French, Italian, English and German, and could write in all these tongues with equal facility and vigour, though he preferred German as the vehicle of his thoughts. The principal work is his series of Lectures in the Royal Academy, twelve in number, commenced in 1801.
Many interesting anecdotes of Fuseli, and his relations to contemporary artists, are given in his Life by John Knowles (1831). He influenced the art of Fortunato Duranti.
In 1788 Fuseli started to write essays and reviews for the Analytical Review. With Thomas Paine, William Godwin, Joseph Priestley, Erasmus Darwin, Mary Wollstonecraft, and other men and women interested in art, literature and politics, Fuseli frequented the home of Joseph Johnson, a publisher and prominent figure in radical British political and intellectual life. He also visited Allerton Hall in Liverpool, the home of William Roscoe.
When Louis XVI was executed in France in 1793, he condemned the revolution as despotic and anarchic, although he had first welcomed it as a sign of "an age pregnant with the most gigantic efforts of character." In 1799 he was appointed professor of painting at the Royal Academy, and keeper of the Academy in 1804. Among his pupils were John Constable (1776–1837), the major English landscape painter of his time, Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846), William Etty (1787–1849), and Edwin Landseer (1802–73), who first exhibited at the age of twelve. William Blake, who was sixteen years his junior, recognized a debt to him, and for a time many English artists copied his mannerisms.

Oh, so this happened at some point or another. Despite a plentiful amount of coverage that had spanned several months, yours truly had completely, totally forgotten about Oblivion, the Joseph Kosinski-directed sci-fi actioner that stars Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Andrea Riseborough, Melissa Leo, and Zoe Bell.
IMDb says the film is now in post-production — being less than a year away and all, I'd believe it — but only now have we been given our first look at Oblivion, and it comes… in the form of set photos. Anti-climactic, yes, but that's how it often goes on these effects-heavy projects; it's not as though you'd want a bunch of greenscreen shots, anyway.
And these pictures might stem from one of the few sections that don't require them. Oblivion takes place in a dystopian future whereat "a surface drone repairman (Cruise) who discovers a mysterious woman (Kurylenko) in a crash-landed pod, setting off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows." As /Film has (probably correctly) guessed, this scene — filmed outside the Empire State Building with an actress I don't recognize — would be flashbacks to a pre-collapse period. Man, Tom Cruise really looks like Tom Cruise in these shots.
You can see the rest of the photos below (via ComingSoon):
Oblivion opens on April 26th, 2013.
Is this first look sufficient enough to satiate your own interest in Kosinski's film?

Re: Cache invalidation in Blockcache
Very true.
We have been discussing additional table options that would promise that the client won't set any timestamps. With that we'd never have newer versions in older HFiles (or vice versa). So the memstore would have the newest version (if any), we could also potentially avoid looking into all HFiles (i.e. only seek into later HFiles when we did not find what we're looking for in the earlier ones). In the worst case we'd obviously still have to seek all files. (All assuming that the time a region needs to move to another RegionServer is greater than the time difference between RegionServers) Maybe it's time to warm this up again... Before HBase 1.0. ________________________________ From: Vladimir Rodionov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 1:29 PM Subject: RE: Cache invalidation in Blockcache The problem is how to determine "the latest version" w/o checking memstore and all relevant HFile's. So , the answer is going to be - no. You can not ask only MemStore and you can not rely on the fact that MemStore always keeps the latest version of a rowkey. HBase will pull all the versions of a rowkey from MemStore and HFile's, compare them and only after then it will return the latest. This is why it is so important: A. To have large block cache B. To have working data set fit into this block cache. C. To use Bloom filter's to avoid checking HFiles which do not contain versions of a requested rowkey.

Big Reds
Okay big red wine drinkers! You know who you are! You are the folks who not only like a chapter in your glass, you like the whole gosh darn book. Your wines are the massive reds that knock most newbies on their collective butts. Your wines are liquid complexity in a glass, and so too are these similar sakes. These brews have layers of big and robust flavors (often earthy and nutty) that speak your language. They are food-pairing aces that go well with most center-of-the-plate dishes. And often these sakes go well served chilled or room temperature, but in most cases can be warmed (try that with your wines NOT!). Think huge Sauvignon, Bordeaux, and other complex wines when selecting these powerful and extremely tasty sakes.

Cut short at the end I ordered two of these, and the second one is several inches shorter and mushed at one end. Since they expand so much after opening, it would be ridiculous to have to get a larger box, shove it in and send it back when it's just a piece of foam to return it. I contacted customer service, and they said someone would contact me in 24 hours, and that did not happen.

Comfort Dreams 1 inch memory foam mattress topper This is the perfect mattress topper. I've tried others in the past but this one was just right. It is not to soft or firm and feels cool on your body. I live in Florida which has been a problem in the past. I was thinking of getting a Temperpedic mattress and saved myself a lot of money.

So much better than a thicker topper! My boyfriend has a really heavy, expensive 2" version of this product and I hate sleeping at his house because of it. You sink so far into the thing that if you turn during the night you will wake up with major back pain. This one however, gives you the comfort of a memory foam mattress but with the firmness of your own mattress. I have already talk one of my friends into buys the same thing and she loves it too.

Lakehouse Comfort I bought these foam toppers for our lakehouse beds, because they were so hard and uncomfortable. Our first weekend with guests at the lake, found us waiting and waiting for everyone to get up and get out of bed. Everyone, finally woke up, and said it was the best and most comfortable nights rest they had, had in along time. My sister-in-law is getting ready to order some for herself. The only drawback is they are missing the best part of the day at the lake - birds singing, fish jumping, sunrise, laughing out loud! Thank You, Overstock.com, maybe they should package these things with a crowbar so I have something to pry everyone out of bed with. They truly were a success!!

Best night's sleep EVER! I am not prone to bragging about items I purchase but I feel like I hit the lottery this time. I have severe fibro myalgia and haven't had a good nights sleep for at least 10 years because of the pain. I received the memory foam on Saturday and put it on my bed that night. I haven't slept that well or that deeply in over a decade. And I was asleep within 5 minutes of crawling into bed. I was also in the same position when I woke up! Not only do I love it but my little 10 lb. dog loves it. She also lays down and doesn't jump on and off the bed all night. So if you don't have memory foam then get this and also get one for every single person you love on the planet! This year guess what everyone is getting for Christmas?

great deal I really love this product! I didn't want to spend a fortune, but I feel like the quality is that of a much more expensive pad. The one inch thickness is all I need to provide lots of cushion. If it was any thicker, I don't think it would provide a good supportive surface. It's fantastic!

It gives the sleeper a bit of extra cush, and keeps them from feeling cold, as some air mattresses can do. It also provides a little extra protection on top from animal claws. One-inch is easy to roll up and store away with a large rubber band, and unrolls easily when needed. I would not recommend a one-inch memory foam for long-term use if you are looking for hip or joint-pain relief. One-inch serves well enough for a week of house-guests.

Top 5 Reasons to Own a Memory Foam Topper
If you like to sleep well, nothing will help you quite like a memory foam topper. Memory foam mattress toppers can turn any bed into a place of dreamy, soft comfort. There are a lot of reasons to own memory foam toppers, and everyone has a different motive for owning one. Not sure if you need a memory foam mattress topper? These reasons may change your mind.
How to Increase Comfort with Memory Foam Mattress Pads
Revitalizing your bed with a memory foam mattress topper is an easy way to add support and warmth to your old mattress. It's also a smart alternative to spending hundreds of dollars for a new mattress when your old one is in good condition. Choosing a foam mattress topper for your bed is simple and can increase your comfort, leading to a more restful night's sleep.
How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats. Memory foam mattress toppers mold to the body, and then slowly spring back to their original shape. This makes them ideal for those with back or joint pain. However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.
FAQs about Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
Mattress toppers are made to be placed on top of your existing mattress. The foam molds to your body, supporting all parts of it equally, so there are no pressure points to cause pain and soreness. Memory foam mattress toppers are a great way to give life to an older bed. Look below to learn answers to the most frequently asked questions about memory foam mattress toppers.
Memory Foam Mattress Topper Fact Sheet
If you want to increase the comfort level of your bed without replacing your mattress, memory foam mattress toppers are a terrific solution. Memory foam has gained popularity thanks to its ability to provide personalized conditions for every sleep type. You'll sleep comfortably whether you prefer a firm or soft mattress. Learn more with this memory foam mattress topper fact sheet.
Unique Ways to Use a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
In recent years, memory foam mattress toppers have become a staple in bedrooms everywhere. They provide support for back-pain sufferers and instantly upgrade an old mattress, but memory foam can also serve different purposes. These unique ideas will show you how to transform an old memory foam mattress topper into something completely new.
How to Recycle a Memory Foam Mattress Pad
Once your memory foam mattress pad stops providing springy support for your mattress, it's time to let it go. In fact, switching out your memory foam mattress topper every 10 years is recommended to ensure that you're getting the support you want while you sleep. Rather than throwing your old memory foam bedding away, try repurposing it with a few helpful tips. Keep reading to learn how to recycle a memory foam mattress pad in an eco-friendly way.
Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
How to Clean a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
When you're deep cleaning your home, you may want to pay special attention to your bed. A memory foam mattress topper can completely transform even the most uncomfortable mattress, but accidents do happen, and an accumulation of dust in even the most comfortable bed can prevent a good night's sleep. If it's time to freshen up your mattress topper, you may be wondering how it's done. Memory foam absorbs water while it is being washed; however, it is possible to wash it efficiently.
How to Keep Cool with a Memory Foam Topper
You can instantly upgrade your mattress when you add a memory foam mattress topper. Memory foam toppers are made from high-density foam that works with your body heat to mold to your shape. This is great for winter temperatures or people who get cold while they sleep, but when temperatures heat up, you may experience trouble sleeping. Make sure your mattress topper is not deterring you from getting the rest you need. Consider these ideas for keeping your memory foam cool at night.
Best Reasons for Choosing Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
While traditional spring mattresses are adequate for a lot of people, the unique properties of memory foam can make the difference between a good night's sleep and a great night's sleep. If you don't want to buy a whole new mattress, a memory foam mattress topper may be for you. Here are some of the best reasons buyers give for choosing them.
FAQs about your Latex Mattress
If you're looking to upgrade to a latex mattress or have already bought one, you may have a few questions. Often used to replace innersprings in a mattress's core and provide a base for memory foam mattress toppers, latex mattresses are gaining popularity because their unique elastic properties provide a firm sleeping surface that conforms to your unique body shape. This guide will answer frequently asked questions about your latex mattress and provide you with all the information you need to become acquainted with this new bedding trend.
Facts about Memory Foam Infused with Latex
While there are many mattress toppers that claim to provide comfort, latex memory foam provides a firm, durable, breathable material that relieves pain and draws you into deep, restful sleep. Check out the facts: There are five reasons memory foam with latex is a good option for you.
Gel Memory Foam Buying Guide
Are you having trouble sleeping? Gel memory foam could be the solution. It's similar to traditional memory foam, but the gel adds benefits that many people find to be the secret to comfortable, restful sleep. Because it's a new product, you may not be sure what to look for when you're shopping. This information will help you find the gel memory foam mattress topper, pillow, or mattress that could help you get a better night's sleep -- every night.
How to Select a Memory Foam Mattress
If you wake up with sore shoulders or an aching back, your old mattress is probably to blame. When you upgrade to a memory foam mattress, you'll enjoy comfortable nights on the viscoelastic foam that was originally developed by NASA scientists. To make sure you get the best mattress for your needs, you'll want to consider these factors while you're online shopping for a memory foam mattress.
How to Pick Memory Foam Mattress Topper Thickness
for people who want to add comfort to their beds, a memory foam mattress topper is a smart solution. Memory foam has the unique ability to conform to the body while you sleep, relieving pressure points and resulting in less aches and pains upon waking. When you're online shopping for a attress topper, you'll need to choose the thickness you want. Be sure to consider these factors as you make your choice.
How to Compare Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
An investment in a good night's sleep, a memory foam mattress topper is made to mold to your individual shape, support every part of your body, and cut down on painful pressure points that can develop when you're not properly supported during sleep. Mattress toppers also add a bit more padding to your standard mattress, making your bed even more relaxing. Here's how to choose the best one for you.
Best Mattresses for Every Sleeping Position
A mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make because you spend hours each day sleeping and rejuvenating for the next day. While shopping for a new mattress, keep in mind the typical sleeping positions you have to ensure you will find the right mattress to help with bone or joint alignment. Below, you'll learn the best mattresses for every sleeping position. Sleeping on your back: If you primarily sleep on your back, you need to find a mattress with support to prevent pain in the lower back. Sleeping on a mattress that does not have enough support causes muscle strain in the back and increases the chance you will assume a poor posture during sleep, leaving you achy in the morning. The best mattresses for this sleeping position have at least 400 to 800 14-gauge coils. Innerspring mattresses feature firm coils to support the back yet still mold to the curvature of the spine. Mattresses with box springs are ideal for those who sleep on their backs because they stabilize weight, offering back support and increasing the life of the bedding. Sleeping on your stomach: While sleeping on your stomach is comfortable, it also increases pressure and strain on parts of the body like the neck or back. Soft mattresses are the best for those who sleep on their stomachs. Look for mattresses that have 300 to 400 14-gauge coils, which will ensure the mattress is soft and comfortable. If you must use a pillow, look into buying a memory foam style, which molds to the head and neck to stabilize them during sleep. Sleeping on your side: Side sleeping is one of the most common positions on a mattress, and it may also be one of the hardest positions to shop for. Since you lay on your side, there is pressure on the shoulders and hips, which could make a firm mattress uncomfortable for sleeping. A mattress that is too soft is often not supportive enough to keep the spine in proper alignment. The ideal mattress for this position is one that has supportive coils, with a memory foam topper to provide comfort to the joints of the body.

Why You Need Gel Memory Foam Bedding
One sleepless night may not seem like a big deal, but what if it becomes many? Without sleep, you lose energy, your health suffers, and the quality of your day-to-day life suffers. Gel memory foam is a soft, durable solution that can help you get back the quality sleep you've been missing. These products -- pillows, mattress toppers, and mattresses -- provide comfort and support to help with several sleep-related problems.
Memory Foam Bed FAQs
Anyone who is looking for the ultimate in sleeping comfort will be hard pressed to find an option better than a memory foam bed. Getting a full night's sleep depends a lot on the support of your mattress, and memory foam mattresses offer luxurious, modern comfort. You may have questions about this material, as many people shopping for memory foam do. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about memory foam beds, so you can shop for your new mattress with confidence.

Joachim Alcine: I definitely think I won the fight. I think Simms won maybe three rounds . Simms was an awkward fighter. For all his talking before the fight, I thought he would be more aggressive. Hes not a bad boxer but I thought he was a bigger puncher. I tasted his power early and knew it wouldnt be a problem for me in the fight. It wasnt the best of me that people saw tonight because of Simmss awkwardness. I felt after the first few rounds I was behind so I picked it up as the rounds went on. Now I know Im good enough to fight anyone in the division. I will fight anybody. Im here to stay. Travis Simms: I take my hat off to Alcine. No excuses just congratulations to him. Ill be back. He fought a good fight. Tonight was his night. I didnt underestimate him. I hurt my left hand in the third round and the knockdown they called on me was a slip. I thought I did enough to win the fight but the judges saw it another way. I had an off night. Hopefully I can redeem myself in a rematch. Vic Darchinyan: Im very disappointed. He caught me with a very good shot. Ill be back. I definitely want a rematch. I was trying to load up too much. Nonito Donaire: I came in here as an underdog. Nobody believed in me but I did it. I said yesterday that one punch can make a difference between me and him. I think the key for me in tonights fight was every time Darchinyan threw and landed, I punched back and that got him thinking. It took the bully out of him. Ive fought guys who were heavier than Darchinyan, so I timed my shots. He has heavy hands but my brother told me hes not as tough as he thinks he is. I shut him up and he still wouldnt admit in the ring after the fight that I beat him. I feel so unbelievably great it hasnt even dawned on me yet what I have accomplished. This fight wasnt just for me. It was for my family and the Filipino people, too. I could feel their energy tonight. I felt so good in the ring. Luis Perez: Garcia was very strong. He gave me an excellent challenge. I think I won all the rounds. From the beginning I could tell I had a reach advantage so I used it. I am exhausted but very happy to be a world champion again, this time at bantamweight. Genaro Garcia: He had a lot of stamina. That made it very difficult for me. Perez made the most of his reach advantage. I did the best I could. It was a great fight. I give him all credit. Bermane Stiverne: I was never hurt. I cant believe the referee [John Callas from West Hartford, Conn.] stopped the fight. King and I were talking to one another during the final exchanges saying, hit harder, hit harder. Watch the tape of the fight. The referee stopped the fight while I was landing a jab. I was undefeated but people kept telling me that because many of my fights have lasted only one round that you need to prove you can go rounds. I will never listen to what anyone has to say about my fighting style again. I was trying to go rounds and it cost me. Look at me. Do I look beaten up? I wasnt and Im not. I will not fight again unless its against Demetrice King. We have unfinished business. Hell tell you the ref stopped the fight too soon. I want to do it again.

Hi Attached are photos of my current patio area. I would like to change it and welcome any ideas. At the moment I feel that it is too brown and needs some furniture or plants or both to brighten things up. Points to note: *The soil is very dry and not that much seems to grow besides succulents. (Maybe its my poor gardening skills). The corner garden is mostly shady due to the fence line & slope of the section. *At the moment it is just myself and partner but maybe something kid friendly will be ideal. I have thought maybe adding artificial grass or something like that to try and break up the cobbles a bit. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions Nat |
Follow-Up Postings:
While a computer-spliced panorama includes all the features, it distorts so much that it's very difficult for one who has never seen the space to grasp a real sense of what it's like. It would be better if you could put a few regular photos that are wide shots taken from a distance, from different viewpoints looking across to the far sides of the yard. I'm thinking I would also like to see from the patio door looking outward. (Yin, I don't see how it is useful to place a mountainous deck on top of an already existing patio.) |

Are you thinking of a kid friendly area rug made from artificial turf? That might be nice with some patio furniture and maybe a little fountain or some water feature. Too many pavers can be boring and retain a lot of heat. You do have a nice patio cover. I think your area looks really nice. I love the Australian Tree Fern and all the plants surrounding it. Sorry about the smoker next door. I know of nothing that can eliminate that smell. Maybe a fan to blow it back their way? At another house we had a smoker next door. I knew when she woke up because that smoke would drift into my bathroom window! |
The only place yet unseen is at the corner of yard from where original panorama was taken. If you took a photo from near the post (which is near drain,) I think that would cover it. A couple of thoughts, so far, is that some of the wood retaining walls look like they might be much higher than what is being retained. I'd consider removing a few inches off the top, if possible. And, I'd consider some plants at the top of the retained areas that "heap" and "weep" over the wall, covering some (or much) of it's upper portion. (The wood adds to the barren, hard surface. It would be easy to cover with plants that trail.) Likewise, the wood of the fence adds a barren quality. You are punctuating it with art, but it needs some foliage, too. It could come from hanging planters bearing trailing plants. Or you could create a small opening in the pavers (at strategic positions) from which a vine -- annuals or perennials -- could grow. If it's a permanent woody vine, think through carefully where it will grow and how it will be supported. If annuals, just some twine, wherever, that plants could grow on, ought to do it. Some moonflower vines with their awesome scent (and evening & nighttime show) might help the smoke condition. |

I love the pergola! (I sure miss mine (and arbor) that husband built but lost in hurricane. Sorry for the nostalgia). I so agree with Yardvaark about the trailing plants, I was thinking same thing but didn't think of removing part of the retaining wall. I think it would be very easy and really inexpensive to put some outdoor rugs out there, I did that right on my large back porch before my son's wedding, which I had at my house. I got 2 large rugs from Home Depot or Lowe's (local "big box" home/garden stores) and they were beautiful and reasonably priced. I also think colorful chairs would be beautiful. It can be fun to find some at yard sales or consignment stores or even on the curb for the trash, and paint them. I would also get some large containers that go with your color scheme. They can be expensive, but you can get small ones and place in groupings and elevate them on a little table or plant stand. I love the idea of the moonvine or anything else fragrant. Small Gardenias in a pots or other fragrant plant. A fan might also work. We have 2 outdoor ceiling fans, again from the big box store, and they have held up very very well outdoors. Laurie |

I think you have a great starting point with this patio with the pavers and the pergola. However, it is definitely too plain and you could do wonders using what you already have. 1) Consider adding a water garden or pond. This is always a winner with fish and plants. If you have small kids and are worried about safety, I understand. 2) Add some nice container gardens, like big pots with a variety of plants, next to the posts of the pergola. This will be a nice accent and add some greenery. 3) The tiered area around the perimeter looks okay (the corner with the fern looks good) but if you extended that out to make each tier wider and make it 3 tiers instead of 2 then the proportions would like much better. Then plant some plants that cascade over the tiers. Thats it. |
Hi think if it were mine I'd use that retaining wall for epiphytes.. Not sure about your climate but there are a few million to choose from . Bromeliads,ferns , orchids , would take advantage of the shade and make great use of the walls. Interesting construction of the walls why so many different directions ,materials?? gary |

Who Should Kate Hudson Date Next?
By Sara Brady
Speaking of someone who needs a mellow woman (and a stylist), we think this Kate could do Jon a world of good. Her son, Ryder, would serve to remind him that he is a parent and should shut up and go mind his kids. Although being seen with her would probably get his picture in more tabloids, and we just can't handle that during the holidays. So this is a terrible idea.
Tiger Woods
He likes blondes. She likes sex. He's basically retired right now, but when he starts playing again, she'll liven up a dull gallery. He plays with a nine-iron; she's in Nine. OMG, we love this idea. The 9 Mistresses Of Tiger Woods

This Webinar will discuss the modalities of proper investigations for environmental excursions and how to find the root cause and take appropriate preventive actions.
Why Should You Attend:
Environmental excursion investigations are complex and multidisciplinary and require the investigator to illicit information from multiple departments to aid in determining the true root cause. Excursions investigations are aided by a robust environmental trending program that should evaluate data for individual sites, rooms, suites and the normal microbial flora of the facility. Proper investigation encompasses manufacturing areas, classified areas and microbial testing laboratories. Failure to properly investigate environmental excursion to true root cause will not allow for appropriate and effective corrective actions. This leads to lack of environmental control of you manufacturing or laboratory operations.Ultimately, this may lead to product failures and possible regulatory actions or worse patient interactions.
This presentation will cover the investigation process from initiation and immediate response to organization, compilation of data, analyzing the data recovered to drawing conclusions and designing corrective actions.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
Why investigate environmental excursions.
Identifying an excursion - now what do I do?
Compling all necessary information.
Analzying information (including trend analysis).
Driving to root cause.
Defining appropriate corrective actions.
Evaluating effectiveness of corrective actions.
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to regulated manufacturing and laboratories that support microbial testing.
Quality Control personnel
Environmental Monitoring personnel

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
While used most often to repair color problems, Curves are also a wonderful way to bring back a faded photo. Curves are sort of levels 2.0. Levels is great for adjusting tones and contrast and Curves moves it to the next well level. Where Levels have three points of correction blacks, whites and mid tones, Curves adjust all the ranges in between. Adjust Color Curve is not an Adjustment layer which means the changes you make will be made on the layer you are working on.
So the first thing you need to do is duplicate the layer. To do this you go up to layer and Duplicate layer or you can use keyboard shortcut Ctrl or Command+J. With layer 1 selected go to the top menu and select Enhance, go to Adjust Color, Adjust Color Curves. The dialog box that comes up will have two images of the photograph, the one on the left shows the image before the adjustments, the other on the right shows real time the adjustments you're making.
This is a great feature; this photo restoration is all about the before and after. At the bottom right hand corner under Select a Style are a list of default styles you may want to go through just to get an idea of what the different styles will look like on your photo, you can always go back to the original by selecting the Default style option third down on the list. So play around and see what they do, lets try a couple of right now and see if anything happens. Let's go to Backlight and Darken Highlights, Increase Contrast, not really like what any of those do and I would liked to be in a little more control so let's hit default to go back to where we were and move over to the Adjust sliders.
Adjust Highlights lighten our darken the lightest areas of the photo, you need to use caution going too far with this adjustment as you can blow out your highlights and make it to light loose detail. But just play around see what they do, because you never know until you try, go back, go forward that looks pretty good right there. The Midtone Brightness slider adjust the lighter areas of the Midtones, if you go too bright or toward the plus sign on the slider, it can result in sort of a hazy, muddy look that's because the Midtones are the grays and making the photo too gray to make it appear hazy.
So you want to go down into this area, like that and that looks pretty good we will keep that right there. The Midtone contrast filter adjusts the darker areas of the Midtone's, if you go too far toward this negative area, that's where this one gets muddy. So you want to keep this one up toward the positive area, there that looks pretty good. The Adjust Shadows slider adjusts the shadows or the darker areas of the photos. Just as making the lights too bright can blowout details so can making the shadows too dark and all areas strive for moderation and subtlety.
So we want to go up here just a little bit and see what this does and this is looking a little dark lets mess around this here bring the Midtone Contrast down and that actually looks pretty good. If it any time you don't like the way the adjustments are looking and you want to start over, simply hit the third button down on the right hand corner to reset all the sliders and bring them back to their original default positions. So let's see how this looks, I click okay so that looks pretty good let's see what before and after look like? and you will see there is a great improvement.
While both Curves and Levels have their own charms and of course can be used alone, its sometimes a good idea to actually use curves after a Levels Adjustment to get the best result, it's always a good idea to at least try. Experimenting with tools, Adjustments, Filters and Combinations is the best way to learn and become comfortable with your software and the art of photo restoration itself.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in children and adolescents is an often overlooked area, and assessment and treatment resources that correspond to current evidence-based medicine guidelines are often scarce. Youth with these problems often keep them to themselves; in public settings, they do not typically cause issues for those around them. The specialized nature of the assessment and treatment techniques often keeps them limited to delivery in specialty practices. Participants in this conference will learn to differentiate normal developmental obsessions and rituals from those associated with OCD. They will also be introduced to the basics of the cognitive behavioral model of assessment and treatment. Participants will be given opportunities to practice what they are learning in a few interactive exercises during the conference. Participants will also learn when more intensive treatment is warranted and what resources are available both locally and nationally for those cases. The role of concurrent medication management in these cases will also be presented.
