Bill Keller is "calling for a boycott of Christian TV network TBN, along with Pastor John Hagee and David Barton, for supporting the efforts a Mormon cult member Glenn Beck in his latest SCAM on the Christian community."

WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah contends that "the homosexual agenda and the Shariah agenda" are working together to endanger the future of America. Farah claims that both the LGBT community and Muslim-Americans want to alter the institution of marriage, use hate crimes laws to silence critics, and implement Don't Ask Don't Tell to weaken the U.S. military. According to Farah, only right-wing activists like him are standing up to the "Muslim Mafia and the Gay Mafia," but even many leaders of the conservative movement are selling out for "Arab cash...

Among the most remarkable sections of the long email sent to participants in advance of this weekend's The Response event suggesting thoughts for contemplation and preparation was this section on lying:
Jesus tells us that all lies come from the devil (John 8:44). Lies come in many variations. Oftentimes people use truth to perpetrate lies. For instance, when only part of the truth is told to make the hearer believe something other than what is actually true, it is a deception, a lie. Satan used this method in his temptations of Jesus.
Lying in all its forms is the work of the... MORE

Listen to this clip from the AFA radio program "Today's Issues" the other day in which Tony Perkins and Ken Blackwell, both of the Family Research Council, complain that people are calling the Tea Party activists "terrorists":
Perkins: You have the comments being made by the Vice President of the United States ... and he's equating conservative members of Congress who are identified with the Tea Party as being terrorists and holding the nation hostage.

Met Gala Party Dresses 2013
From Red Carpet to Afterparty: The Best Met Gala Quick-Change Artists
This year's Met Gala attendees gave us good reason to think two outfits are better than one. And who can blame Ashley Greene for trading her dramatic Marchesa gown for something a little shorter come afterparty? Those iconic Met stairs (read: not ornate-dress friendly) alone could prompt an outfit change, but we think it gives this A-list set another chance to show off one more great look before night's end. Case in point: Allison Williams's surprising dark and sexy twofer, courtesy of Altuzarra. Or how about Madonna's Givenchy Haute Couture tartan and fishnets getup that turned into just fishnets all over? The beauty of seeing fashion's finest is actually seeing them at their finest, and that means outfit changes galore. Which stars were bona fide Met Gala quick-change artists? Find out right this way.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- At the start of this season, Sean Gilmartin earned plenty of recognition.
The lefty and former first-round draft pick started for the Braves' Future Team in the final exhibition of spring training and he followed that as the opening day starter for the Gwinnett Braves.
On Tuesday, Gilmartin represented the Braves hopeful future against one of its recent past's.
The No. 4 prospect in the Atlanta organization, Gilmartin faced off against former Atlanta Braves All-Star pitcher Jair Jurrjens as the 27-year-old attempts to resurrect his career in the Baltimore Orioles.
In the snippet of a sampling, Gilmartin outlasted and out-dueled for former major leaguer.
Gilmartin threw seven plus innings and allowed one unearned run off five hits. He struck out one and walked three, leaving the game with a 3-1 lead. When the G-Braves bullpen imploded in the ninth, Gilmartin took his second consecutive no-decision in a 4-3 loss.
"He pitched really well tonight. It was kind of tough-luck going on out there," said Gwinnett Braves manager Randy Ready. "He had full command of the game.
"He deserved better fate tonight."
Jurrjens also pitched well, lasting six innings and allowing three runs, all in the first inning. But it was a rough first inning.
The G-Braves teed off on the right-hander scoring three runs on three hits. Tyler Pastornicky extended his hitting streak to eight games, Ernesto Mejia added his 15th RBI with a sacrifice fly and Jordan Parraz crushed his third home run well over the left field fence in the inning.
"You've got to try to continue to push some runs across the plate," Ready said. "That's one of the reasons you have to play nine innings and you have to score each and every inning."
Norfolk took one run back in the second inning on an RBI double by No. 9 hitter Jonathan Schoop that scored catcher Luis Exposito. Exposito reached base on an infield single and scored the unearned run from second after G-Braves first baseman Mejia was called for obstruction.
Pastornicky kept hitting in the third, beating a throw from Tides shortstop Schoop for an infield single. The hit gave the G-Braves second baseman his seventh consecutive multi-hit game.
After allowing the unearned run on Exposito's double, Gilmartin didn't allow a hit over the next four innings, and walked just two.
"(Catcher Jose) Yepez and I had a pretty good rhythm going," Gilmartin said. "He was putting down what I wanted to throw and we got in a good groove there."
Trayvon Robinson broke up the streak with a leadoff single in the seventh, but stayed on first as Gilmartin retired the next three. After seven innings, Gilmartin had thrown just 87 pitches, 54 for strikes.
"I kept the pitches to a minimum, was very economical out there," said Gilmartin, who needed 91 pitches to get through four innings in his last outing. "It was definitely nice to out there and put together the outing that I did."
Gilmartin faced one batter in the eighth, allowing a ground-rule double on interference to leadoff hitter Jason Pirdie, before giving way to Cory Rasmus. Rasmus retired the next three batters.
"Certainly we didn't want to put him in a position to get the loss," Ready said of Gilmartin's exit. "His pitch count was getting up there, but he was very effective. We have to protect our guys."
The remainder of the bullpen didn't fair as well. Dusty Hughes allowed a ground-rule double and exited without a facing another batter. The hard-throwing Wirfin Obispo walked the first two batters he faced, struck out the next two, and with two outs allowed a bases-clearing, go-ahead triple to Jason Pirdie.
"He bounces right back with a couple of strikeouts, he was afforded the luxury to face the last hitter," Ready said. "Unfortunately, the game got away from us. The game was ours, it was just unfortunate it slipped away the way it did."
Former Gwinnett closer Jairo Asencio entered in the bottom half for the Tides and pitched his fifth straight perfect inning, keeping his ERA spotless and picking up his fourth save.
"He's been pretty consistent in closing the door the last couple of years," Ready said of Asencio.

Fergie: We threw it away
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted United threw away two points at Everton as last gasp goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta stunned the Scot. United looked to be coasting to victory after Darren Fletcher, Nemanja Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov cancelled Stephen Pienaar's opener. And while Ferguson was delighted with another outstanding performance by Berbatov, he was left fuming by his side's failure to secure the win, instead having to settle for a 3-3 draw. "Football can do that to you," he said. "In a game of a completely comfortable position we've thrown it away - simple as that. "The last two away games have been like that. We lost a goal against Fulham with two minutes to go, and the same again today. We had chances to bury Everton and we didn't do it. "We played some good football at times. "Berbatov I thought was our best player. I thought he was absolutely brilliant today but that's all wasted because we've given the two points away." Meanwhile, Ferguson expects captain Rio Ferdinand to return to the line-up for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Rangers. "I think Rio will play on Tuesday night," he added of the 31-year-old, who has been sidelined with a knee injury sustained in England's first training session in South Africa before the World Cup. "It a European tie at home and we've got to take advantage of that."

.- Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion of the Christ", is "faithful to the Bible's teaching that we are all responsible for Jesus' death, because we have all sinned," said renowned evangelist Billy Graham in a statement released from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association this week.
Graham issued the release after screening the film, which, he said, moved him to tears, reported the WorldNet Daily. The film is a testament to the fact that it is "our sins that caused His death, not any particular group," he continued.
Graham's comment makes reference to a claims made by some critics that Gibson's film is anti-Semitic and blames Jews for Christ's death.
"I have often wondered what it must have been like to be a bystander during those last hours before Jesus' death," Graham said in the release. "After watching 'The Passion of the Christ,' I feel as if I have actually been there.
"I doubt if there has ever been a more graphic and moving presentation of Jesus' death and resurrection – which Christians believe are the most important events in human history," he said. "No one who views this film's compelling imagery will ever be the same."
According to the statement, Gibson and actor Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in the film, came to see the 85-year-old Graham twice, before and after he saw the film, reported WorldNetDaily.
Graham said he became convinced of Gibson's "deep sincerity and great desire" that the motion picture be used to bring a new emphasis on the events that occurred 2,000 years ago.

I want to hear Phoenix scream in a song.
I want LP to do a screamo track with Mike doing all of the work and Brad with the megaphone for the backup.
Grecian was a great working title.
"Battle-Axe" is a better title than "Victimized".
"Buried at Sea" is a better title than "Burn it Down".
What the fuck, Linkin Park? It's like you finally got titling songs correct and you intentionally destroyed them.
Who could forget song q?:p
I agree, Battle Axe and Buried at Sea are both better titles, but it's LP, they haven't ever been too good at naming titles

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2009) |
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (German: Der Zauberlehrling) is a poem by Goethe written in 1797. The poem is a ballad in fourteen stanzas.
The poem begins as an old sorcerer departs his workshop, leaving his apprentice with chores to perform. Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him – using magic in which he is not yet fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water, and the apprentice realizes that he cannot stop the broom because he does not know how.
The apprentice splits the broom in two with an axe, but each of the pieces becomes a whole new broom and takes up a pail and continues fetching water, now at twice the speed. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns, quickly breaks the spell and saves the day. The poem finishes with the old sorcerer's statement that powerful spirits should only be called by the master himself.
German culture[edit]
Der Zauberlehrling is well known in the German-speaking world. The lines in which the apprentice implores the returning sorcerer to help him with the mess he has created have turned into a cliché, especially the line Die Geister, die ich rief ("The spirits that I called"), a garbled version of one of Goethe's lines, which is often used to describe a situation where somebody summons help or uses allies that he cannot control, especially in politics.
The acclaimed animated dialogue-free 1940 Disney film Fantasia popularized the story from Goethe's poem, and the Paul Dukas symphonic poem based on it,[1] in one of eight animated shorts based on classical music. In the piece, which retains the title "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", Mickey Mouse plays the apprentice, and the story follows Goethe's original closely, except that the sorcerer ("Yen Sid", or Disney backwards[2]) is stern and angry with his apprentice when he saves him. Fantasia popularized Goethe's story to a worldwide audience. The segment proved so popular that it was repeated, in its original form, in the sequel Fantasia 2000.
Similar stories[edit]
Some versions of the tale differ from Goethe's, and in some versions the sorcerer is angry at the apprentice and in some even expels the apprentice for causing the mess. In other versions, the sorcerer is a bit amused at the apprentice and he simply chides him. The sorcerer's anger with the apprentice, which appears in both the Greek Philopseudes and the film Fantasia, does not appear in Goethe's Der Zauberlehrling.
Philopseudes (Greek Φιλόψευδης / Philópseudēs ("Lover of lies")) is a short frame story by Lucian, written c. AD 150. The narrator, Tychiades, is visiting the house of a sick and elderly friend, Eucrates, where he has an argument about the reality of the supernatural. Eucrates and several other visitors tell various tales, intended to convince him that supernatural phenomena are real. Each story in turn is either rebutted or ridiculed by Tychiades.[3]
Eucrates recounts a tale extremely similar to Goethe's Zauberlehrling, which had supposedly happened to him in his youth. It is, indeed, the oldest known variation of this tale type.[4] While the similarities are so great as to make it obvious that Lucian was Goethe's inspiration,[citation needed] there are several minor differences:
- The sorcerer is, instead, an Egyptian mystic, a priest of Isis called Pancrates.
- Eucrates is not an apprentice, but a companion who eavesdrops on Pancrates casting his spell.
- Although a broom is listed as one of the items that can be animated by the spell, Eucrates actually uses a pestle. (Pancrates also sometimes used the bar of a door.)
However perhaps the most important difference is the moral of the story. In Der Zauberlehrling and in the story's iteration in the 1940 animated film Fantasia, it is generally presumed that the story embodies some maxim or moral, and that it is something along the lines of "don't meddle with things you don't understand"[citation needed] or offers a metaphor for modern society where youth and inexperience is enthroned, resulting in an increasingly out of control mess being made, and in need of 'our betters' to return and take charge once more. In Philopseudes, however, the intention is simply to ridicule tall tales.[citation needed]
Similar themes (such as the power of magic or technology turning against the insufficiently wise person invoking it) are found in many traditions and works of art:
- Strega Nona
- Golem
- Frankenstein
- Midas
- Faust
- The Man Who Could Work Miracles (and numerous other works by H G Wells)
- "The Monkey's Paw"
- Wish
- Sweet Porridge
- Forbidden Planet
- The Master and His Pupil
- Abhimanyu in Chakravyuha in the Mahabharata
In popular culture[edit]
Following Goethe's poem and Dukas' symphonic piece and the film Fantasia, the term "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" has had numerous iterations as the title of various media pieces. These include several novels and nonfiction books, including novels by Elspeth Huxley, Hanns Heinz Ewers, and François Augiéras. It is also the title of a Doctor Who novel by Christopher Bulis. Nonfiction books with this title include a travel book by Tahir Shah, and a chess book by David Bronstein and Tom Fürstenberg.
Among the various radio and television episodes with this title, the title is used for a CBBC show in which a professional magician chooses his apprentice. There is also a BBC radio play of the same name starring Paul Rhys and Harry Towb originally broadcast in 2007 and re-broadcast on BBC Radio 7.
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is a 1962 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents featuring Brandon deWilde as mentally-troubled youth Hugo, coveting the magic wand of a kindly magician.
"Top Secret Apprentice", a segment of the Tiny Toon Adventures episode broadcast on February 1, 1991, is a modern version of the story, with Buster Bunny messing around with Bugs Bunny's cartoon scenery machine and getting himself into a big heap of trouble. Like the Fantasia segment, there is no dialogue, save for a line by Buster in the end.
There is also a live action film, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, featuring a scene based on Goethe's poem (and the Fantasia version), produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Nicolas Cage.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels alluded to Goethe's poem in The Communist Manifesto, comparing modern bourgeois society to "the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells."[5]
The poem's story is integrated into the fairy-tale drama Once Upon a Time. The hat from the Disney Fantasia appears at the beginning of the show's 4th season, and is further elaborated on in the episode "The Apprentice". In the Enchanted Forest, the sorcerer died long ago, and the apprentice has aged into an old man, and he guards the hat from evil wizards. Rumplestiltskin wishes to obtain the hat, and tricks Anna into fetching it for him. However, she gets the hat from him and escapes with it. In the modern day town of Storybrooke, Mr. Gold enlists the aid of Captain Hook to find the apprentice again. To find him, they utilize the living broom from the poem (and Disney film) to lead them to his place of residence, where Gold traps the apprentice within the hat. A variation of the Dukas piece also plays in certain scenes.

We have all had them, the inflamed "bud" on the tip of your tongue that hurts really bad, but I have had one for almost a week now. Usually they go away within a day or two.
I have never had to take anything for them before, is there something that will make it go away? Thanks! |

well, when I get really tired of them, I bite them off, but I am sure that somebody will say that's a really bad idea. I have one right now too, but this is only day 2 |
I thought I was the ONLY person who bites them off.!! small world. |
I know how that hurts! Hope it goes away quickly. |

one of my first reviews after being on here for years but this is one hell of a product.
My lips always seem dry even though I exfoliate and always take care of them (maybe the reason why?). I just grabbed this in Creme Brulee and Maybelline's Baby Soft Lips (amongst a few more..just not worth mentioning). There is no comparison. Revlon's actually sinks into your lips and moisturizes...and keeps on moisturizing. The other is an oily greasy mess that sits on top of your lips and never sinks in (except for staining them). I've bought high and low end and I'm 100% sticking with this. Two big thumbs up from me!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have to say, I like this.
I bought two, as it was a BOGO offer: Sweet Tart and Candy Apple.
I've been using Sweet Tart mostly, as Candy Apple is not exactly my shade.
Sweet Tart is a very pigmented medium pink on me, with a very slight tinge of mauve. On me, it looks almost identical to YSL Opera Pink, just more moisturizing and with a better staying power!
It is not drying at all, but I always wear a gloss over it, to prolong the staying power, add extra moisture and boost the color.
This way, I only have to reapply every 3-4 hours.
I will not buy more only because I have too many lipsticks to begin with, but I do think these are very good products.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have quite a few of these babies and here's how they rank in my book:
1. Pink Truffle (favorite!)
2. Sugar Plum
3. Raspberry Pie
4. Berry Smoothie
5. Red Velvet
6. Candy Apple
7. Peach Parfait (worst!)
I already reviewed these individually on Makeup Alley, so this is just a quick summary :)
I absolutely love these lipsticks. My definitely HG.. and I am a lipstick fein. I'm pretty lazy about reviewing products but I just had to give a shout out to these awesome lipsticks. I will make any excuse to buy more colors but I have two caveats - price and quality. Duh, right? But you wouldn't believe how many products have one but lack the other. I usually jump around with drugstore brands and test out different things and only have a few "staple" lipstick colors (Mac in Dubbonet) However, these have completely hijacked my attention because they are absolutely fabulous!
I have naturally dry everything so I usually go between two ways - straight up Blistex for moisture and avoid anything drying (lipsticks) for awhile or completely sacrifice moisture for pigment and duration of wear... but these lipsticks have a perfect balance. Don't get me wrong - they aren't going to replace my blister and they fade but they're way way way more moisturizing than any other real pigmented lipstick AND it still lasts around 2-3 hours before I'm left with not much more than a stain on my lipsticks. However, they aren't completely stripped off my lips and leave me looking dead either. Again, a happy balance. In terms of pigmentation, I think they're GREAT. There's a slight glossy sheen to them so it's definitely not matte in my experience, but not too slick or glossy either. It does feel a little tacky but what lipstick doesn't feel at least a little tacky (and doesn't wipe off in 2 minutes)?
I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. I like the actual tube and the shape of the lipstick but I think the overall packaging is very bulky. If it was slimmer and sleek, I'd prefer that.
I'm not sure what my coloration is but if I had to guess, I'd say NC35?
Lollipop - pink-fushchia pink. One of my favorites
Red velvet - a pretty good match to my Mac Dubonette. Mac is more matte, this one has that glossy sheen. Definitely more moisturizing and comfortable than Mac though.
Peach Parfait - nice sheer but somewhat shimmery. I think it's pretty and more for a cute, natural look.
Sugar Plum - absolutely love it. Reminds me of Clinique Allmost Lipstick Black Honey (Used to be part of my HG! I think that's the name) but looks more natural and very buildable.
Sweet Tart - bright pink. I could do without it since I already have Wet n Wild 511B (uh, again, I think that's the number) which I'm fine with.
Berry Smoothie - I'm not a huge Mauvey person but I like this. It's like a berry color with some purple/pink undertones. Not overwhelming but still very pigmented.
Strawberry Shortcake - I steer away from barbie cool-toned pinks but this one is a nice baby pink that doesn't look too... Nicki Minaj on me. It's a lot more subtle than I anticipated which is exactly what I prefer.
Creme Brûlée - I tested it out but wasn't for me. I'm not into nudes but I can imagine if you are, this would be worth checking out.
Raspberry Pie - I love raspberry colors. This was no different. I haven't worn it out yet but I'd imagine it'd leave a very pretty stain too.
OVERALL: I absolutely love these lipsticks - they ARE my holy grail go-to lipstick products. Sure, if you're going to compare them to high-end products like Dior and Chanel, they may not blow you out of the water. But if you want to experiment, play with colors, or just be reasonable with your money - these are definite winners.
Also, I got most of them for BOGO half off plus an additional dollar off coupon for each. I probably wouldn't pay full price for all of them just because.. that's kind of crazy haha. But I'd definitely shell out the money for my favorites (Sugar Plum, Peach parfait, Red Velvet, Lollipop)
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have this in creme brûlée, and I definitely will try to get as many other colors as I can! It's a perfect everyday lip product, especially during the winter months because it's so hydrating. I love swiping this on for an instant lip look without having to bother with things like lip liner or gloss. These are amazing!

More reviews by HeatherlyBreezes
I like these. Are they anything exceptional or unusual? No. Do I want to pay full price for them? No. But I found them to be creamy and slightly moisturizing with just the right pigmentation to add something to a look, but not detract from the whole face.
I got Candy Apple, and after one use, the tube refused to twist up again. I haven't seen any other complaints about that here, so hopefully it's safe to assume mine was fluke. I found Candy Apple to be a bit too orange for me, which I was afraid of, but that Walgreens was out of Red Velvet. I exchanged it at a different Walgreens for Red Velvet, and I do prefer the deeper red. I like to wear Nars Matte Velvet in Cruella and touch it up with the Red Velvet butter as the night goes on.
The next color I'm interested in is Pink Truffle; I'm hoping it is akin to Palladio tinted lip balm in Bronzed Pink with less shimmer. I'll wait for the stores to restock and a BOGO sale, though.
I'll definitely repurchase Red Velvet if I haven't moved on to the next greatest thing before they discon it. Which they will, just like everything that works for me it seems.

When will I learn
I was waiting for these after all the hype on MUA and even more so Youtube. What a disappointment. I purchased 050 Berry Smoothie and it is a very pretty colour. It is quite bright. When I applied it, it felt gritty. Hmmm that cant be right for a lip butter (the name alone makes me think super moisturization). So I made sure my lips where clean and examined the butter to ensure there was nothing on it tried again and still had the gritty feel. (In fact after many, many uses it still feels gritty on my lips.) Well, the colour, while pretty, does not last but worse even is that before its worn off my lips feel dry. ???
I do not recommend Ive got other lip butters that are soft and moisturizing so I wont bother with this again.
continued >>
Love the packaging. Product itself is so-so. Moisturization isn't as good as the name might imply, but it's nice. These are comparable to Boots No 7 sheer temptation lippies(those are better tbh), Burt's bees' balms, and many more, i'm sure. Ie Definitely not unique, as some of these reviews are saying.
I agree with the reviewer who says it makes her lips look thinner, and the one who said it just lays on top like grease, and the one who said it's the same look you would get if you were to mix lip colour w/Vaseline. i.e. not impressed, but they're not bad. Not my taste, cuz i like things that are more obviously lipstick, but not bad.
I think these would make good gifts. I am DEFINITELY going back to get a couple for my mother.. these are exactly the kinds of lip products she likes. (glossy finish, and pretty colours)
I really like the texture and color choices of the lip butters, it's not super moisturizing, but doesn't dry my lips or makes it peeling. I got most of my makeups from Sephora, this is my first time trying this brand after reading all the good reviews, and I am impressed, good price and great quality!!

More reviews by desperatehswf26
I know these Lip Butters are either a love them or hate them product. I'm a lover! I have almost all of the shades and I am head over heels for them.
IMO they wear like a MAC Lustre which are my personal favorite lipsticks. I like my lipstick to be a)glossy, b)slightly sheer and c)soft and silky on my lips. I find these to be all three. They aren't terribly long wearing, but I can easily get 3 hours out of them, with the brighter shades lasting longer and leaving a stain effect. And at $7.99 I thought they are a good buy compared to a MAC Lustre which has the same wear for double the price.
Certainly the are no substitution for a lip balm, but I didn't buy them expecting to act like a balm which is why I think I love them so much. I bought them with the expectation that they would moisturize more than the average lipstick and that's exactly what they deliver.
Finally, the packaging is amazing. I love that these can be stored standing up and you can grab the right shade right away. For my NW15ish skin my favorite shades are Peach Parfait, Berry Smoothie, Cotton Candy and Sweet Tart.

I will most likely put some type of tile on the floor in both of my bathrooms. How to I make the rooms look larger? Do I use larger tile? Do I lay the tile on the diagonal? I am working with fairly small bathrooms. Appreicate any suggestions |

hi...a few weeks ago there was a thread about tile size...someone posted a picture given to him by the tile store showing which lay out and size makes the room look larger...it was diagonally set large tile...i was shocked and am changing my original hex tile choice to 12x12 tiles! good luck rachel |
Yes, larger tile set on the diagonal make the room look larger. I saw the same sketch. It's amazing. I'd already laid my tile tho...20" on the diagonal :) And fewer grout lines are always a good thing. Monica |
- Posted by bill_vincent (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Nov 26, 07 at 20:10
I agree with Monica. Lay the tile diagonally, and it gets away from the square modular look, which reduces the size of the room into "modules" as the name implies, thereby pychologically reducing the size of the room |
What about the running board pattern? |
- Posted by bill_vincent (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Nov 26, 07 at 21:26
Running bond will still give you a somewhat modular look, but if you like it, go with it!! |
- Posted by beatrix_in_canada (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 07 at 0:47
We chose really large tiles; 24" x 24" on the floor and 12" x 24" on the walls with a 6 x 24 "border" throughout - and it looks great! Before we did our bathroom I had only seen this kind of tile in magazine pictures or in a large showroom. So yes, I was a bit scared if we made the right choice for our much smaller bathroom. But even my very old fashioned stepfather who tried to discourage me before he laid the tiles for us was amazed by the effect and loved it. That is a really big tile so I wouldn't recommend to lay it on the diagonal or you'll have a huge amount of waste. This is a picture of the wall tile. |
- Posted by zinfanatic (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 07 at 19:00
Thanks all! I suspected large tiles set on a diagonal was the best way to go. Glad to have that verified by my "experts" on the Home forums! Zin |

Beatrix: What tile is that? I love it. |
- Posted by beatrix_in_canada (My Page) on Wed, Nov 28, 07 at 14:12
zinfanatic it's the Leonardo Shape series. An Italian porcelain tile that looks very natural but is easier to install and take care of than most natural stones. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Leonardo Shape
Here is the pic people made reference to earlier that the tile store gave me to help me visualize. I found it helpful and did go with larger tiles but everyone should do what they love and every bathroom is different. Here you go: |
Interesting thread. I just met with the tile installer on Saturday and he advised against diagonal (which is what I wanted). He said room was too small for diagonal. This is for an L-shaped laundry room and tile is 13 x 13. Tile is not yet installed. I think I may change my mind (won't he love me?!) and go for diagonal. What about for a powder room, which is smaller? I am using the 13 x 13 again. Would it work even with such a small space? Teresa |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 07 at 10:43
My tile is 18x18 and we tried laying it in the very narrow bathroom area to see how diagonal would look and I didn't care for it. I suspect that it would depend upon the size of the room and size of tiles being used. |
Thanks Mari, I have been thinking about this a lot since my post, and I was coming to the same conclusion. Teresa |

BOZEMAN - Swaths of forests killed by mountain pine beetles may not be as prone to massive fires as many previously assumed, a conclusion drawn by researchers from the University of Wisconsin and Yellowstone National Park.
The Bozeman Chronicle reports the researchers surveyed trees killed by beetle infestations that can leave red swaths of destruction.
Using computer models, they found dying and dead stands of trees might actually be less susceptible to major fires than lush and green stands, since there is less fuel to burn.
Wisconsin researcher Martin Simrad says the notion of increased fire risk after a beetle outbreak appears to be reasonable, but said it didn't appear to pan out.
"If you want to build a campfire, you don't use green needles, you use red needles," he said. "But it seems when we are talking forest-wide fires, it's a completely different scale."
Yellowstone National Park vegetation management specialist Roy Renkin also said beetle-killed forests have long been assumed tinderboxes, but that in his 32 years at Yellowstone, "observations never quite met with the expectation."
Elected officials in the West sometimes contend beetle-killed forests are fire hazards and argue that forest managers should allow more harvesting of trees.
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., has promoted this contention as he touts his Forest Jobs and Recreation Act.
"The bill emphasizes the harvest of ready-to-bun beetle-killed trees near Montana communities," Tester's office has said of his bill, which would mandate 10,000 acres of logging annually for 10 years.
A Tester spokesman said the senator's office was aware of the Wisconsin study, but said these latest findings didn't undermine Tester's bigger contention that Montana's forests are susceptible to fire.
"Wildfire still is and will continue to be a significant challenge facing our national forests unless we address it," Aaron Murphy said in a statement. "Jon's bill addresses this challenge through a carefully balanced plan put forward by a lot of Montanans to restore our forests and watersheds while creating new wilderness and recreation areas, and jobs in Montana."
Simrad emphasized his study doesn't suggest beetle-killed forests don't burn. In dry conditions, he said, they are just as likely to burn as green forests are.
But under "intermediate" fire conditions, models did show them less combustible.
The research took place across Yellowstone and Bridger-Teton National Forest.

Foreigner – That Was Yesterday
What's on your mind tonight…?
Late, Late Night FDL: That Was Yesterday |

Foreigner – That Was Yesterday
What's on your mind tonight…?
Hey CT! How are you this evening?
Fessing up is good for the soul, or so I am told…
I have all of the Foreigner albums on vinyl. Still.
Cheers to you Christine…and is there something specific we are celebrating..please tell!
..and a good audio system to match I hope!
Awesome, newt…! I wish I'd possessed even a quarter of the vinyl, I'd bought over the years…! ;-)
Just survival of this day. First day of classes with our new M.A. students — they are very enthusiastic!
Somehow I still have the over-performing B&O TX-2 I bought in 1986. I said 1986.
It will not quit.
Foreigner! Reminds me of my high school daze…
Aloha CT and all!
And I'm getting ready to head off to Europe in September, which is always a celebration.
Enthusiasm is a real good thing…but can vex the spirit…congrats on surviving…
WOW…take care of a thing and treat it well and it returns the favor…cool!
Speaking of which… Next Sunday's LLN will be my take on the worst cover song ever…! ;-)
I will stipulate that it must be performed by actual Professionals mangling it…! 8-)
a single country tour or many?
Aloha, LL…! How's Virginny doing…? Sweltering…? ;-)
Sounds interesting CT…
Then you will have to follow that up with the best cover naturally!
Meeting in Copenhagen with the European Medical Museums Association, then a fun tour of the fjiords of Norway. We are a party of four, and really looking forward to visiting a part of Europe not yet visited.
Actually no, not at the moment — and we're expecting the coolest day since early June, on Tuesday, with some rain. Ah, refreshing…how are the isles?
Citizen CTuttle and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:
Alhoha Brother CT, how's the view of God's feet from yer mountain…been up there lately?
Jest checkin' in before I hit the rack…keep the tunes hot and the arguments hotter. What's yer take on the war situation in view of the recent stirrings of sanity from significant folks who are usin' terms like "right wing nut jobs" and "perpetual war" to make connections with the economic forces behind our fucked up situation? I think Obama's hit the same wall JFK hit in 1962-63 but I'm bettin that the majorities opposed to these wars and the professional military whose very existance is threatened by corporatization are gunna get us out and the people of the Middle East will take care of whatever "nation builders" we leave in occupation.
The fun tour of the Norwegian fjiords sounds great…a photographic nirvana
*knock on wood* I'm truly surprised at how quiet the hurricane season has been to date…! Considering the heat levels recorded this year, we haven't seen the typical release mechanisms…!
That sounds great, Chris — what an opportunity! Hope you get some great pictures…have always wanted to see that part of the world.
Oh, I am so looking forward to planes, trains and ferries! This year has been intense at work, and I've only had a few days off. This two week trip will be a restorative, I hope.
Hey LL! I can't wait. This will be totally new from our always French getaway.
Yep — the latest, Danielle, is not projected to be a threat to the east coast at all. Wonder what September will bring, if anything?
With the trip you have planned, I think it will be very restorative and healthy…
Aloha, Comrade Norske….! Always a pleasure…!
I sincerely hope that the 'Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran' crew cool their jets a tad…! ;-)
MrCE sits on the board of this organization, and it has been the greatest learning experience of our lifetime. Held every other year in some European country, with the alternate year planning in Paris, we've been lucky to travel to many cities. History of medicine is very strange, yet wonderful.
Hannibal @ 25
The Japanese have a very firmly planted inventiveness about a lot of things…some say it is because they have so many people occupying such a small place and must be inventive in order to survive…but there is always the counter argument about their fishing practices.
CT, I'd better scoot; lots to do tomorrow, but I wanted to at least drop in to your thread since I haven't been able to stop by in a while. Have fun everyone, and have a great night and a great tomorrow!
Aloha, LL… And ditto to ya, PPD…! ;-)
Hey LL. How be the kitteh?
Citizen edve:
Keep 'em honest Citizen, around here if it ain't worth a fight it ain't worth talkin about…I gotta go ta bed.
Citizen CTuttle:
Keep the red flags flyin' Brother…I got ta get up and teach a couple a youngsters how ta catch some fish.
History of medicine is very strange, yet wonderful
these days that could be considered a double entendre, no? :–)
G'nite Norske…fight the good fight, but rest well!
Keep the red flags flyin' Brother…
Aloha, Norske…! I do hoist'em periodically…! ;-)
Perhaps you might like to see those pathology specimens? It took years for me to look at them without looking away. Yikes!
Goodnight Pups! Loved being here tonight, and time for bed.
Aloha and aloha! ct. Good to see ya here..
Big day tomorrow. Gotta run.
You know what's sad…? I have the training to be an EMT, however, I could not deal with a daily dosage of sheer carnage…! Really…! 8-(
Sounds scary! Goodnight Christine…pleasant dreams!
I gotta hit thee ole pillow meeself..I wish all a goodnite and good dreams…
Driving home from Yoga I saw a black and white cat on the roadside so I turned around and parked and got a paper bag out and collected it. looked like recent instant death by car. I decided to look for the owners as posting a picture around did not seem practical. I went to the first house across the street, a family, they had rescued it year before. I was glad they got closure as they had lost another never knowing what happened to it. I felt very sad for the beautiful one year old cat I know was in the six year old girls heart. I also felt very blessed to go to the right door on the first try. A black cat was standing guard duty in the vacant lot below. I know she will be missed.
Mahalo, bb, for taking the time…! *g*
Hey folks!
I wonder if Fox News and Pam Geller will successfully incite violence.
I think that they will. And then people in the media will do some public wring of hands as if they was nothing they could have done. The problem is that they LOVE this stuff. It's exciting. They like reporting on it. It's X v.s Y. Two men enter the ring. Only one leaves!
One thing that you know that the media won't do, is allow someone to Gin up violence toward people and corporations. When you look at how many people have been hurt (financially) by the banksters there are a lot more people whose lives have been messed up than by people who were protesting the community center 2 blocks from ground zero.
Tomorrow I have court hearing in the morning and Board of Supervisors in the afternoon. I have to file a writ of mandate complaint against the CA Coastal Commission for my attorney (who is out of town) at a case management conference SLO Superior Court. He provided me with a statement as well. Wish me luck! A lot of people will suffer if we can't change the direction of the now $300.00 plus sewer making utilities around $600.00 a month!
Today for the first time in months I listened to right wing talk radio and read the blog of the right wing radio host I helped get fired.
One of the reasons he was fired was because I called attention to the advertisers him calling for the genocide of everyone in Iraq and the killing of millions of Muslims.( Not terrorists Muslims, just regular Muslims in Indonesia.)
Also his calls for hanging of liberals and killing of people who disagree with him.
Now he whines that his bosses didn't have the back bone to stand up to Muslim groups. Whereas I would flip that, all the people that stood up for him for years are sick and share some of the responsibility for a culture of acceptance of violence toward people of a different faith. They man had no business on commercially supported broadcast radio. And if he was no decent business had any business being associated with him and his violent rhetoric.
I'm glad I helped get him and his co-host fired.
Btw, newt… What's your fave Foreigner tune…? Dirty White Boy…? ;-)
You most certainly Rawk, Spocko…! ;-)
But sadly, there's no youtube of it
Thanks, but I feel very un"rawk" like these days. I just found out I didn't get the training gig I pitched last week. My first proposal in months and it didn't happen. I am grateful I got the call and a chance to bit, but sadly I didn't get it.
My condolences, Spocko…! You've certainly helped the cause mightily…! ;-)
Btw, Folks… Could ya'll send some healing vibes for my Lil Sis in the Morn…! *g*
That deserves a response …Losing My Religion…
Mahalo Nui Loa, Margot and newt…! *g*
Today the other fired host was On the radio talking about her protest of a Jerry Brown fundraiser attended by Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. She told about how she and her group protested code pink At a Marine Recruiting station in Berkeley.
I know what happened I helped Code Pink with intel and messages
This host claimed 5,000 supporters came to the event. Total BS. Max 800 and that is Generious. More like 500 or 600. Lying is just what she does.
Certainly. Please give me the spacial coordinates and hair
Color of your little sister so I can customize my mind meld healing trance vibes.
When I'd talked to Sis earlier, she was upbeat about it…! Always a positive…! 8-)
May a shower of tribbles be upon Tut's li'l sis.
Auburn or Strawberry Blonde… Square faced…! A 3rd grade teacher in Vega$…! *g*
Best healing vibes I can muster CT. Coalition for Low Income Housing trying to acquire a talented grad from Ohio State Univ. who has 10 years of Yoga, Reiki, spiritual healing Somatic exercise and various spiritual therapies and much more. I will as her to pray for your Sis.
And a hearty message of gratitude with the hope that your good wishes will soften the heart a sway the judgement of the judge in our favor! Thanks Margot, CT and Spocko.
I was surprised to find out that they were from the UK.
Thanks for finding that!
Nite CT:)
Well seeing as my sister is a 3rd grade teacher as well. This will be easy. Vibes sent.
That Was Yesterday is far and away my favorite Foreigner song and always brings back the memory of when & where I heard it first – New York's legendary dance club The Saint circa 1988. Thanks to whoever selected it for presentation this evening!

I've had a bad run of luck recently, stitches in the palm of my weak hand, emergency dental work while in SF etc, my dentist accidently breaking a tool inside a root canal he was making and not being able to retrieve the broken tip.
That last one, the half finished root canal, was deemed non-salvagable and so yesterday I had the tooth extracted. I'm a tall guy and my back teeth reflect that, it was over an inch long. Took a while to get out, the dentist was sweating when he was done.
That leaves me where I am today. For all intents and purposes I am incapacitated as I'm taking some heavy duty pain meds, I'm sleeping a lot and the pain is going away. Should be good tomorrow.
However, my wife came home and asked me if I wanted to go out with her and run a few errands. Nothing much, just a trip to Target and the library. I needed to circulate some blood & get some fresh air so I went for it.
But because I feel so groggy I made the decision to go out unarmed. First time since getting my permit. Even when we are going somewhere that prohibits carry in the building I always carry to and from the location.
My reasoning is that I do not feel competent enough to make the split second decision to defend myself, the meds are effecting me like I am drunk.
My wife still carries, I am not totally defenseless.
It is a very hard decision to make, I was not 'sober' enough to drive. It would've been very easy to slip a gun on my belt and pretend I was fine. But if I overreacted or shot off target due to being sedated I would be in a very bad situation.
Anyone else make a similar decision?
How did you reconcile that decision with yourself? Especially considering that while you are ill you are probably more likely to be a weak prey for any BG?
I see it as a no win situation where I was just lucky. Not at all how I like things to be...

I put mulch down but hate how weeds are staring to penetrate and when I blow the grass clippings, leaves the mulch gets all over. I was thinking I should replace it all with pond type rocks. What do you guys think? I would rather plant flowers in the containers then the ground I get deer, chipmunks that mess with the flowers but in teh container they have faired better. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Some mulches keep weeds out better than others. They need to be a certain thickness in order to do this. In spite of that, they don't keep doing it forever. Is there a plan for a permanent groundcover? |
I would put ground cover, ferns, native whatevers there. |
- Posted by cadillactaste zone 5 Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 23:00
We fought chipmunks with keeping the mulch in the flowerbeds verses the yard. And yes...blowing leaves with a leaf blower was a task. We switched to hardscape a few years back and it is so easy to care for. We put a plastic down first. Then the rocks...then made places for the plants and cut holes in the plastic. Dug holes and planted. What weeds to pop up have no soil to dig in and hold onto. So...weeding what little that happens to show up. (Practically none) comes out with ease. |
- Posted by cadillactaste zone 5 Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 23:05
Just need to not have the rocks come up completely to the plant is all. No biggie...wish we had done this years ago! Everything stays put and we have tons of critters living in a rural area with a ravine beside our home. |
- Posted by xxnonamexx (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 6:43
I was thinking using rock. Are those called pond rocks? I like the way it looks in your yard. |
I did rocks on plastic for paths, did not work after a while. Leaves or grass clippings will get onto rocks, decompose, and offer a foothold for weeds. in addition, movement of the rocks will cut through the plastic. Just my experience. |
- Posted by cadillactaste zone 5 Ohio (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 10:50
Lucille...we use a leaf blower...so no leaves decompose. Mower has a bag...though if one mowed so the grass blew in the other direction...we absolutely love ours...and pulling what little weeds do come up...easy since no soil for it to grasp hold of. They weren't called pond rocks but a certain number given to the size. It was the largest our supplier carried. Sorry...maybe show them. And they can help you out. The best decision we ever chose. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 9b (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 11:08
River rocks come in all sizes. As long as you aren't walking on them, they should work pretty good, but like Lucille said, eventually weeds will grow. We used round-up on ours when we had the rocks, but I twisted my ankle once when walking on them, so be aware they can be dangerous. Plus any little boys around tend to want to throw them....... At this house we use mulch. It's a happier thing. But you do need about 4" of the stuff. |

Kelly Freeman, Engineering Technology
"I used to play the piano. One day I want to become a certified Manufacturing Engineer, and hope to get a job that allows me to make programs for Programmable Logic Controllers."
The primary goal of the GEE Program is to increase the number of girls pursuing careers in STEM fields by offering female middle school and high school students an opportunity to increase their awareness and interest levels regarding existing and potential opportunities in the fields of mathematics, science, and engineering. Students have the opportunity to participate in general engineering sessions as well as focus sessions (discipline specific), with program material rotating each summer to accommodate repeat participants. Secondarily, the program seeks to create a broader impact by providing high school and middle school science and math teachers with new pedagogical methods and tools for use in their classrooms through online resources and training workshops and by providing high school girls with leadership training and practice opportunities through peer mentoring. Finally, the program includes a goal of broadening knowledge of participants' parents about career opportunities in engineering through parent orientation sessions.
Since program inception in 2004, GEE has involved 789 middle school high school girls, along with 144 teachers and 143 high school and college mentors.

Countering Islam

text: Easy quick gameUse the following trick to get a combined clear time for the entire game of under five hours (to unlock unlimited RPG ammunition). A really easy way of doing this is to play under the Amateur difficulty setting and just run pass all enemies. Only kill story-driven enemies (ones that hold key cards or those that must be defeated to advance the game). Also, avoid any crates, barrels, or treasures. Attempting this with a friend instead of the CPU-controlled Sheva is recommended. Note: You do not need to purchase the infinite ammo in "Bonus Features" as you would do for normal guns. |

For the first time in a long time, I've purchased concert tickets far in advance. Usually, going to a show is a last minute decision for me. And sometimes, that causes me to miss out on getting tickets. I purchased tickets for STRFKR on September 7th and Walk the Moon on September 20th. Both in New York City. Both at Terminal 5. I bought two tickets for each, but I don't know who's going with me yet, but who the hell cares!
"Atlantis" – STRFKR
"Quesadilla" – WALK THE MOON
Tropfest in Brooklyn is also coming up next month (June 22nd). Tropfest is a short film showcase, that also has a few musical artists playing. I'm going mainly for Chairlift, and Neon Indian who will be DJ-ing. There's also Bear in Heaven, Ghost Beach, and People Get Ready.
"I Belong In Your Arms" – Chairlift
P.S. Who wants to go to these 3 shows with me?
The Joy Formidable
March 1, 2013 § 2 Comments
I recently started listening to a band named The Joy Formidable. I instantly fell in love with them. They remind me a lot of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. My favorite song of theirs, Whirring, is just below.
The Joy Formidable just released their latest album, "Wolf's Law" on January 21, 2013. Their most recent single off that album is named This Ladder Is Ours.
I'm hoping to see them perform in April, at Webster Hall. They'll be playing with Blood Red Shoes, and You Won't, two other great bands. Doors at 6:00pm, and I get out of work 6:00pm that evening, so I hope I can make it!
Also, speaking of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, tickets sold out for their show at Webster Hall in seconds! When tickets went on-sale at noon today, I tried to purchase 2 and they were already sold out! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs posted on their Facebook page that they are taking measures to prevent tickets from falling into the hands of scalpers. Hopefully this will free up some tickets for me +1.
Have a good weekend!
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Rot Gut, Domestic
February 23, 2012 § Leave a comment
I first heard of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's last fall, and I've been in love with them ever since. I was at that point where I didn't feel like listening to anything in my iPod. And I have a lot of music on my iPod, so i don't even know how that's possible. I asked a friend of mine to recommend a band, and she recommended this amazing band. The first song I heard by them was "Skeleton Key," shown below.
When I heard they were releasing a new album soon, I got all giddy inside. Their sound has changed a little bit from their past albums, but I love the direction the band is going in. The album is out March 20th so take a listen below.
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's are currently on tour. Click here to go to their website and check out when they'll be in your area.
If you like what you hear, make sure to like them on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter. You can also pre-order their new album on their website!
Ingrid Michaelson – Human Again
February 22, 2012 § 1 Comment
I hadn't heard of Ingrid Michaelson until a few weeks ago. She's been around for a few years, but I heard of her when an awesome girl named Judy recommended her to me. The video below shows a video of Ingrid performing her single off her newest album.
I absolutely love this song, especially this version which is just Ingrid's piano playing and her vocals. The version on the album has more instruments involved. In this video you could feel the emotion in her voice. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, in fact hauntingly beautiful. Get it? The song is named 'Ghost.' I apologize for the horrible joke, won't happen again. Okay I can't promise that…
Last month on the 24th, Ingrid Michaelson released her new album Human Again, pictured below. If you haven't had a chance to listen yet, you need to make time. Click here to go to her website and check out some songs off this album. And once you listen and decide you love it, make sure to purchase it from one of the links on that page.
I'm a little sad because I'd love to see her live sometime soon, but alas, she will not be in New York City until May. If you'd like to see when she'll be in your area, click here!
If you love her like I do, make sure to like her on Facebook, and follow her on Twitter.

I first heard of these guys about a month ago when my band played a show with them in Long Island. Unfortunately, I thought the sound guys didn't do a great job *cough cough*, because I couldn't hear the vocals too well. For MAN ON EARTH, you really need to hear the vocals to understand the music. In all music, the melody is important, but their songs have such a great vocal melody that it feels as if something is missing without it. Just the other day I decided to look them up again, and now I can't stop listening. My favorite song so far is "I'd Be Good For You," the video shown below.
What I love so much about this band, is that they really know how to write a song. There's some bands out there where each musician wants to do something complicated to sound cool. MAN ON EARTH doesn't over-complicate things. The musicians are extremely talents, but know when it's appropriate to keep it simple and when to amp it up. They know how to make a song where all the instruments fit together amazingly, with an amazing vocal melody spouting out artfully crafted, emotional lyrics.
This past fall they released their newest CD "Things They'd Never Believe." If you'd like to get a little preview of it before you download, head on over to the music section of their website, where you can stream the album. Make sure to buy it afterwards!

February 20, 2012 § 2 Comments
I already posted a little piece about Cursive's new album, "I Am Gemini" a little more than a week ago. Just as a reminder, on February 21st (tomorrow) the album will hit stores, but you can purchase it earlier. You can also stream the entire album online courtesy of Rolling Stone by clicking here! I'm listening to it right now and loving it. Give it a listen, and if you like it, make sure to buy now from the Saddle Creek Website, or get it in stores tomorrow!
Also, here's a list of Cursive's shows. They're currently touring around the US so make sure to catch them when they're in your area!
This Old Ghost – Island of Violent Lovers
February 18, 2012 § Leave a comment
I just heard of this band the other day when they followed me on Twitter. After giving them a listen, I have come to only one conclusion. They are amazing. Think of a mix of Death Cab, The Shins and Band of Horses. Make sure to give them a listen because they fricken rock. If you live in New York City, make sure to go see them play at the Bitter End next Friday.
If you like what you hear, they have their album up for download on Bandcamp!

I checked the IP address i'm exposed to outside world by checking www.myip.dk Used that address as Deny entry in IIS7 feature "IP Address and Domian Restrictions" but I can still access the website. Is there anything else what I'm missing. (Access for unspecified clients is set to Allow)
