A Tightwad's Guide to Ad Blockers
Banners were a bore. Pop-ups pissed people off. So what's an advertiser to do?
Put TV-style commercials on your computer screen, of course.
Officially known as rich-media advertising, video ads can appear on a Web page or can briefly take over a user's entire screen before allowing access to a site's content.
Many marketers and website owners believe that watching ads is a fair exchange for free content.
On the other hand, many Internet users recoil at the thought of wasting time waiting for a barrage of video ads to download and play. And the new rich-media ads are particularly annoying if one happens to be watching a streaming video or listening to music on a PC with the sound levels cranked up.
There is no perfect solution to dealing with advertising, just as there is no perfect ad that will consistently grab your attention without annoying you. But if one does decide that the annoyance factor is higher than advertising's value, there are methods to block some or all ads, some or all of the time. These range from a classic homespun hack to a fancy new rich-media blocker program.
Many rich-media ads utilize Macromedia Flash. Some Web browsers, like Mozilla, easily allow users to block Flash content in the Web Features preference settings. If users want to see a specific Flash animation, it's easy to re-enable Flash by changing the preference setting. That's a handy feature, as Flash is used for many worthy multimedia projects, along with advertisements.
Another option is Adblock, an add-on extension for Mozilla that blocks advertisements the browser's built-in ad blocker may miss. It performs well but, as its developers note, is still a work in progress.
Another Mozilla extension, FlashBlock, neatly blocks many video ads, and adds a button where the ad would have been. Users can click on the button to see the blocked ad.
Similar options and add-ons exist for the Opera browser, which enables users to block some, but not all, rich-media ads by configuring preference settings. Opera includes its own banner advertising in the free version of the browser. But ad-sensitive users can purchase a version that does not contain advertising.
Stopping Flash ads in Internet Explorer is a bit more difficult. One can disable Flash in preferences. But IE will launch dialog windows repeatedly stating that Flash isn't installed. To keep the dialog windows from cropping up, the best option is to leave Flash installed but edit the computer's registry settings to disallow ActiveX controls, as explained here.
(Note: Editing the registry may not be a wise choice for those who don't already know what "editing the registry" involves. Also, once disabled, it's difficult to re-enable Flash for an individual website.)
For Mac users who run Apple Computer's Safari browser there's PithHelmet, an add-on content filter that allows users to block most advertisements, including rich media and other annoyances like endless-loop website soundtracks.

The Card
Pulling the card out of the box, there isn't anything that we didn't already see on the back of the box, which gave us a pretty good run down of the card and its cooler that manages to take up most of the PCB.
We can see across the front of the cooler we have the IceQ4 logo along with the HIS one. Across the top of the card we can see part of the heatsink along with two heat pipes which help pull the heat away from the core.
Having a look around the card, there isn't anything we haven't seen on a HD 4850 before. The back of the card has a single 6-pin PCI Express connector. Looking across the top of the card we see two Crossfire connectors which we will fortunately be making use of today.
With the aftermarket cooler, the card is of course a dual slot solution. At the top we see some vents to help get the hot air out while across the bottom we see two Dual-Link DVI connectors and a single TV-Out port.
Being part of the IceQ4 series, HIS has taken the time to overclock both the core and memory of the card to give us a bit more performance.
As you can see above, the core comes in at 685MHz which is way up from the stock clock of 625MHz. The memory has also had a healthy increase from 1986MHz DDR to 2200MHz DDR.

Last night's "Mixed Couples" at the Atkinson, a purported comedy by James Prideaux that brings together two middle-aged married couples at a New Jersey airfield (probably Teterboro) in 1927, is like a stuttering biplane about to go into a spin. It seems to come to a dead halt with every other line. It is, finally, a crashing bore.
Alden, a dusty specialist in Chaucer and English literature up to the Elizabethans, and his dowdy wife Elberta have chartered a plane this evening to take them to Washington for a lecture he is scheduled to deliver the following morning. To save money, they are sharing the charter with another, unknown married pair who turn out to be Don and Clarice, to whom, in the proper order, they were married 25 years ago and whom they haven't seen since.
Don, a wheeler-dealer as he would have been termed some years hence, is bound for Florida and a real-estate deal. Clarice is an ex-Follies girl (the 1909 edition), and occasionally-employed actress. They live in Manhattan. Alden and Elberta live in Englewood.
Fogged in, they are forced to spend the night in a dreary workshop hangar until dawn brings clear skies. We, the audience, are fogged in for two hours listening to utterly predictable and drab details about their lives and the dull circumstances that caused them to switch partners. If dawn brought release for them, the final curtain brought blessed relief for the rest of us.
It is a crying shame that actors of the caliber of Julie Harris (Clarice), Geraldine Page (Elberta), Michael Higgins (Alden), and Rip Torn (Don) must squander their talents on such tripe.
Harris, looking absolutely adorable in a snappy flapper outfit, and Page, in a monstrous dress and a hat too ugly even for Queen Mary, try desperately to make a show for themselves with expertly calculated mugging, utilizing to the full every glance, step (Page, lumbering; Harris, skipping), gesture and vocal inflection. Higgins remains stubbornly in character in spite of the slim opportunities given him. Torn seems miscast as the cigar-wielding entrepreneur; but then, perhaps he is merely unhappy finding himself at such a loss in a barely sketched-in role.
I would not have been surprised or offended - I would have cheered, in fact - to see the cast (it includes a pilot who drops by a couple of times with weather reports) simply give up in the middle and stalk disconsolately offstage.
Prideaux' talk is almost entirely arbitrary and includes weary jokes, many just blunt insults, that are not only obvious but so labored that they seem to pick themselves up (or be picked up by the unlucky actors) like dying beasts to fall to the ground again with a thud that can surely be heard blocks away in the offices of the Dramatists Guild. The 1927 dialogue appeared to have its fair share of anachronisms, too; but who was counting anything but the minutes?
George Schaefer has directed with bravado, no doubt forcing himself to imagine he was engaged in a revival of Noel Coward's "Hay Fever" or some other agreeable bit of fluff. Oliver Smith's corrugated-iron hangar is appropriately dingy with, in the background, a Lindy photo, an old propeller, and what looked like a Wright Whirlwind engine. Martin Aronstein has lighted the work, undoubtedly against his better judgment.
There are two (no, let's be totally fair to the men, four) razzle-dazzle performances in James Prideaux' new play Mixed Couples, which made its bow at the Brooks Atkinson Theater last night. But while the performances glitter, the play itself only glimmers. It is Noel Coward's Private Lives, without the life and without Noel Coward. Yet the acting is so exaggeratedly brilliant that you should find the evening worth your attention.
It is set in New Jersey in 1927 - a workshop hangar on an airfield, and Oliver Smith in his setting pinpoints it magnificently, with a shrewd historian's eye but also with that instinctive designer's touch that can make even the prosaic interesting. With its assorted propellers and benches, its photograph of a grinning Lindberg, and its authoritative air of technological muddle, this is a perfect evocation of time and place.
A couple enter - Geraldine Page and Michael Higgins. He is an academic trying to get to Washington to deliver a lecture, and she is his wife. His second wife. For that matter he is her second husband. They have chartered a plane, on this dank, foggy, evening, with another couple - Rip Torn and Julie Harris. Guess what? And they haven't seen one another for 25 years - when IT all happened.
The long arm of coincidence is a great device until it becomes dislocated. And dislocation here is just around the shoulder. Yet it is a device we can take - remember what we took in Private Lives but there is a difference here. Where Coward virtually mocked his device, Prideaux seems to be trying to justify his. Never mind - every coincidence is a surprise to someone else.
Torn is a successful real estate operator on his way to Florida - I wonder what happened to him in the Big Crash? - and Miss Harris is a former Ziegfeld girl, still with the body of a sylph and the tongue of a salamander.
Yes, Torn was once married to Miss Page, and Miss Harris was once married to Higgins. How did the split-up, this double trapeze, no net, marital act, occur. Naturally you would think that it was sponsored by the assertive and brassy Harris/Torn duo - but could it perhaps have been initiated by the less assertive, even mousey duet of Page/Higgins?
And that, or the answer to that, is the story and the fabric of the play. Who pushed and who jumped, who was taken in and who was thrown out? A slender subject - particularly when the only obvious answer is indeed obvious, and the writing while genial, and giving a decent basis for the histrionic inventions of the cast, is by no count brilliant or even particularly witty.
George Schaefer has apparently directed in the secure knowledge that if the play is going to make it, the actors must be given full rein, but not allowed to jump over the top. He seems to have drawn a pretty neat line between indulgence and discipline, sometimes clearly letting his thoroughbreds run, sometimes curbing them back a bit.
Rip Torn as Don (yes, the characters do have names, it merely seemed irrelevant to mention them earlier) is splendidly gross but easily hurt. His face when Miss Harris is telling the tale of an apparently unconsummated affair with John Barrymore, which might or might not have taken place, is a model of pained resignation, and when, part offensively and part defensively, he bounds into a series of chin-ups on a convenient beam, one recognizes a man of feeling to whom words do not come expressively.
As the professor Alden, Michael Higgins is vague without being absent-minded, his grace and intelligence are evident, and so is his determination. Of all the quartet his character is the only with a sense of destiny. That caused the trouble.
Geraldine Page as Elberta has made her face look like a rumpled cabbage in pique - quite marvelous, I cannot recall an actress making herself look so different from her off-stage presence. She eternally looks as unamused as Queen Victoria, but when the hint of a predatory instinct obtrudes, her face, remembering follies, if not sins, of the past takes on the retrospective glow of beauty.
And as for Miss Harris - called here Clarice - she runs over the play like an adorable bulldozer trying to get down to basic rubble where at least acting can flower.
I have never seen her better. With her cloche hat and flask of bootleg gin, her direct flirtatiousness with life, the realism of her artificiality and the neat measure of her timing, Miss Harris plays a wonderful survivor and gracefully survives the play.
But don't compare what Coward did with his situation with what Prideaux has done with his. Think simply of a quartet of fine actors making their own music, and, on those terms, you should enjoy yourself.
If actors as gifted and hard-working as Julie Harris, Geraldine Page, Rip Torn and Michael Higgins cannot breathe life into a play, it's a fairly safe assumption that the play is a corpse. Such, I'm afraid, is the case with James Prideaux's "Mixed Couples," which brought these four stars together for no worthwhile purpose at the Brooks Atkinson last night.
Mr. Prideaux has attempted to write a bittersweet romantic comedy about one of those ostensibly funny tricks that life plays on us all. But the trick one finds in "Mixed Couples" doesn't occur in life so much as it does in failed, gimmicky entertainments. It is Mr. Prideaux's inspiration that two married couples would meet by chance in a New Jersey airplane hangar for the first time since they switched partners 25 years before. It is our misfortune that the characters are fogbound for two hours, during which they dredge up every last tedious detail of their joyless lost youths.
One waits in vain to discover some redeeming element in "Mixed Couples." There is no wit, unless jokes about Englewood, N.J., and sexual dysfunction count as such. The structure is equally nonexistent: In Act II, the playwright must force each character to deliver a soliloquy so that the various plot entanglements can be straightened out. Nor is there any period flavor, despite the fact that "Mixed Couples" is set in 1927. A few references to Charles Lindberg, "Jack" Barrymore and the Dempsey-Tunney fight do not convince us that Mr. Prideaux's sensibility is lodged anywhere other than the theatrical Stone Age.
Even if the playwright were a capable craftsman or jokesmith, there would still be another insurmountable problem. There are no people on stage. In "Mixed Couples," each so-called character is a sketchy collection of a few bloodless attributes.
The free-living, aging actress (Miss Harris) is defined by her giddy flights of alcoholic merriment, while her old romantic rival, a boring hausfrau (Miss Page), is a whiny, earthbound teetotaler. The self-made businessman (Mr. Torn) is summed up by his big cigars, bullish statements about the stock market and his use of the word "ain't"; his opposite, a humorless academic (Mr. Higgins), wears spectacles, talks about Shakespeare and uses polysyllabic locutions when a simple "ain't" would do.
This quartet is so thin-blooded and unappealing that it's impossible for us to care who married whom which time and why. Mr. Prideaux doesn't seem to give much of a hoot, either. As it ultimately turns out, he views marriage as a loveless, sexless ritual that binds stolid men and bitchy women together for the sake of convenience. He delights in the fact that none of his characters is "good in bed" and that most of them are emotional cripples. True, he convinces us that these couples deserve each other, but he never explains why the audience deserves to spend an evening with them. The sour, unearned moral of "Mixed Couples" merely adds a gratuitously bitter aftertaste to a comedy that doesn't have the courage of its own silliness.
Given the script and the uninspired staging of George Schaefer, the actors do what little they can. The men, whose roles hardly exist at all, often must cool their heels while the women exchange their theoretically barbed wisecracks. At least Mr. Torn gets another chance to show off his amusing good-ole-boy accent. Mr. Higgins spends much of the evening either staring ahead in grim silence or playing schoolmarm. "If we're going to be here for two hours," he scolds the others, "we might as well exercise our minds." Needless to say, his request goes unheeded.
Miss Page, whose voice, chin and eyes all quiver in perfectly timed unison, demonstrates her considerable comic resourcefulness: She actually finds at least a dozen ways to indicate her single allotted emotion of righteous indignation. Miss Harris, a fetching vamp in peach, brings her crisp, musical delivery, impish charm and even a few intoxicated dance steps to a part that seems vaguely inspired by the Sally Bowles she created in "I Am a Camera." As she explains at one point, "I'm only trying to brighten the corner where I unfortunately am." Her efforts are admirable, but nothing short of a holocaust could brighten the uniformly gloomy corners of "Mixed Couples."

I realize you stay on phase one until you reach goal, but is there a MINIMUM that you should be on phase one so that phasing off is the most efficient? Can you be on phase one for just 3 weeks, and then start phasing off, or should you be on it at least a minimum of 4 weeks? I'm probably not wording this the best.....and I suppose many people do not start it just to lose 10 pounds.

Adventure Holidays and before up till now
Well I've done too many 'package deal' places in Spain, Greece, Turkey and Tunisia. Mostly finance led choices altough I have to say that some of them have been very good holidays, but these have generally been when I was younger and enjoyed a few drinks too many.
A little more adventurous was my short stint on a Kibbutz but 3 weeks of rain when I got there and getting high on fumes in a boot factory for 6 days out of 7 was not really my idea of fun.
I've attempted to go on holiday to Egypt 4 times now which was cancelled twice due to the Gulf war and the Falklands war, once because of finances and once because of family illness. Now I think that someone is trying to tell me not go there!
I finally booked my first adventure holiday to China but unfortunately I had a ballooning accident which meant I had to come home after 4 days and subsequently found out that I had a fractured cocycx.
I tried again the next year and went to Vietnam and Cambodia and this was most definately MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER! This was sadly way back in 2005 and I don't think I will be able to top it! I was really happy with the AdventureCompany and will definately have another holiday with them again as soon as I can. Last year I went to Sri Lanka and couldn't convince my husband to go with a group on an orgaised tour. We went on a two week trip based in a beach hotel (which was nice enough) but no tour included. We messed up on organising our own and OH didn't enjoy the 'hassle'. So hopefully I will now be able to convince him that a trip with the AdventureCompany will be the way to go in the future as you definately get to see so much stuff and experience enough of the culture but are looked after along the way to take away all the stresses!
I want to do the China trip again one day when I can save up(but I'll leave the balloon trip out).
I've just been watching the Vietnam special on Top Gear and it really brings back great memories. I'll post some pics soon (I know they're a few years old but still good)

Hello all,
I just stumbled upon a barely used kitchenaid KFP670 11 cup food processor. Only problem is that it is missing slicing and shredding blades and a few other attachments. I see the old discs use a different hub than the new ones and was wondering if I can use the new discs if I get a newer style hub from the 12 cup models? Any thoughts???? Thanks. |

That he could handle, though. But the end of his involvement with Woodbine was tougher. "It's been very difficult for myself to try to reconcile what the hell happened," Spagnuolo said. "I went through a lot of shit at the City of Longmont with lawsuits and stuff. And they even treated me in a more respectful way when I walked away from the project there."
This latest blow came from within his own community. "Are we so far into a colonized world that we can't break out of it?" he wondered. "The most depressing thing to me is you've been spending your whole life on this and here's your chance to do it, and can we actually do it? Am I just bullshitting myself?"
He rubbed his face and took a breath, then grabbed his bullhorn. He had a protest to lead.
Larry Hales wasn't alive in 1968. But the thirty-year-old R-68 organizer sees the protests at that convention as a good motivator for today's protest movements. "It was a year when a lot of things came together. The Black liberation circle. Anti-war," he says. "All these ideologies came together and were willing to confront the state and were doing so in a lot of different ways. But it was a spirit, the idea behind it, that has been missing since 1968." And so he likes the name of the group.
Others do not.
"To me, it shows an incredible lack of history to what happened there and the people who were injured," says Councilman Brown. "The fact that people couldn't go downtown and work. The amount of money that was spent. It took Chicago more than a decade to get over that national black eye. It certainly hurt the Democratic Party."
The name has even proven controversial with other progressive groups.
Bill Vandenberg, director of the Colorado Progressive Coalition, says his members haven't yet decided if they will be involved with R-68 — and the name is playing into their reluctance. "Personally, I feel that not only does it give images of Chicago '68 beatings and violence, it doesn't inspire us to look toward a progressive future, either," he says. "It's looking in the rearview mirror."
United for Peace and Justice, a national network of 1,400 groups planning to organize around the DNC and RNC just as they did in 2004, probably won't work directly with R-68. "For me, the point is not to re-create something that happened forty years ago," says Leslie Cagan, a national UPJ coordinator. "The global politics are different, the national politics are different, our movement is different."
The ANSWER Coalition will carry out a full-scale mobilization for the DNC protests, says national coordinator Brian Becker, with bus transportation and car caravans from the West Coast, East Coast and Midwest chapters. The group has been in contact with R-68, he adds, but ANSWER is holding off on deciding whether it will join up.
The Troops Out Now Coalition and the Rainforest Action Network have signed on, says Hales. But other large national groups have been reluctant, partly because the R-68 leadership has declined to issue a statement of non-violence, leaving peace and pacifist groups in a tough spot.
"If you don't have an absolute non-violence code," explains Betty Ball, co-director of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, "what happens is there's going to be the interpretation from the media to the general public that 'Oh, there's going to be violence.'"
David Chandler, a co-director of the Colorado Green Party, says the dispute over R-68's protest style has prompted some activists to consider forming a rival organizing group around the DNC. "Spagnuolo may come out as no-violence," he says, "but the tone of what he has been saying to the media certainly would make you concerned."
According to Spagnuolo, pressure from peace groups has prompted R-68 to consider drafting a modified non-violence statement. "It'll be along the lines of 'We will not be instigating any violence against any living being. We reserve the right for personal and community self-defense,'" he says.
And they may need to, according to Claire Ryder, chairwoman of the Denver Green Party, who was at the Columbus Day protest. "I don't recall ever seeing the Denver police being quite that bad," she says. "And I've been kicked and tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed."
A similar overreaction by cops was what caused the riots at the 1968 DNC, she says, with footage of police and National Guard troops using billy clubs, tear gas and pepper spray to beat back crowds in Grant Park widely played in the mass media. "I have far more problem with police in Denver and how they're going to treat the protesters" than with the R-68 name, she continues. Authorities "are just going to create another police riot. And I was hoping that wasn't the way Denver was going to be perceived by the world, but apparently it is."
But Mayor John Hickenlooper is not Mayor Richard J. Daley, who sought to control the protesters the same way he controlled the city of Chicago: with all-powerful, autocratic efficiency. Chicago cops were unleashed to respond with the same chaotic anger that was being directed toward them, with the added edge of police weaponry.

I just opened an invitation to a baby shower.
It is very cute, a Dr. Seuss Theme. The reply card, with Cat and the Hat graphics, reads: I could, I would attend___
I'm okay with the first two. The last two references to gifts just leave me speechless. So I wonder how many people they think will actually check No. 3--I will not attend and I won't send a gift. Never mind that I probably would have attended the shower for a very nice neighbor (it's a second child and I usually don't attend second showers) or delivered a gift, as I did for the first shower that I was unable to attend. And most likely I will send a small gift for the second child. But you can bet I will not attend this shower and I'm even considering not returning the reply card. I think I will call the hostesses so that they can fully explain to me their concern with gifts. Have you ever seen such? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have the same reaction. The Dr. Seuss theme is cute, the rhyming reply card is clever -- and the last two lines are unacceptable. But I would not (or should that be, "would not, could not"?): I might feel different if the lapse were something really awful -- like a bigoted theme, or something illegal. But this is only bad taste, not meanness, cruelty, or crime. Maybe they were trying to go for 4 lines to be more like Dr. Seuss or something, or they just didn't know better. Hey, at least they included the choice of not sending a gift! I would just let the invitation go without comment, and attend or not as you would otherwise. But I certainly agree with you that it's a pity they messed up such a cute idea that way. Is it a book shower? That would be a terrific idea, especially for a second child. In fact, it would even allow guests to buy one gift for both children -- let the big sibling open it; the baby won't care. |
I would answer 1 or 2 , and ignore the rest. Or put a question mark for 3 and 4. |
- Posted by party_music50 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 18, 09 at 6:27
"unacceptable" is a nice way to put it. :) Is the idea so that they'll know to watch for package deliveries?! I would check both 1 and 3. lol! (j/k) Actually, I would spend the time to come up with a similar 'cat in the hat' response that let them know how "unacceptable" the invitation is -- but then I wouldn't send it. :) I'm seeing here that it's a new trend to have a baby shower with each pregnancy. Prior to this, I've only heard of two "extenuating circumstances" where there was a 2nd shower: in the first case, the (accidental) mother-to-be was over 40 years old and it had been more than 15 years since she had had a child. That made perfect sense to me. In the second case, it was my cousin's wife who had learned that she was FINALLY going to have a girl (she already had 4 or 5 boys at that point and was pushing 40 herself). Only family members were invited and we all happily attended. |

Friday, February 26
Ford Center
Attendance: 18,203
Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant led seven Thunder players in double figures with 25 points, as Oklahoma City crushed Minnesota, 109-92.
Russell Westbrook just missed a triple-double with 18 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who avoided dropping three straight on the heels of a nine-game winning streak.
"When our defense is good, our offense follows," Westbrook said. "We came out defensive-minded."
Serge Ibaka scored 14 points, while Jeff Green had 13 for the victors.
Kevin Love posted 19 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves, losers in eight of their last nine overall. Ryan Gomes added 10 and seven, and Al Jefferson netted 12 points in defeat.
The Thunder led 30-19 after the first quarter but failed to hit a field goal over the opening five minutes of the second frame.
Minnesota pulled within 37-35 on Love's reverse layup with 4 1/2 minutes left, but Oklahoma City ended the half on an 18-6 run, as Nenad Krstic's jumper beat the halftime buzzer for a 55-41 lead.
Three Durant free throws finished off a 14-2 spurt for the hosts midway through the third, yielding a healthy 71-49 cushion.
Oklahoma City's 84-65 advantage heading to the fourth was never seriously threatened in the final stanza.
"We had to come out and play focused right from the get-go. We had too many turnovers early and we got frustrated," Minnesota head coach Kurt Rambis said.

Populist, Nationalist Goes to Runoff in Mid-May
The leader in the April 9 election for president of Peru was Ollanta Humala, a former army colonel who was backed by leaders Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and Evo Morales of Bolivia. Humala led an unsuccessful coup attempt in 2000 against President Alberto Fujimori, who was later impeached. He is a populist who promises to help the poor, and a nationalist who wants to expropriate businesses that were privatized under the previous regime of Alejandro Toledo. As of April 15, with 88% of the vote counted, second place was still too close to call between former president Alan Garcia and conservative Lourdes Flores. Because no one got over 50%, there will be a runoff between the two top vote-getters in mid-May. A commentator on Indymedia Peru said: "The old practice of corruption which is the fruit of the centralization of power will not be changed by any president, despite how the illustrious orators paint themselves as messiahs to the beat of reggaeton."

Famous bridge failures in Washington
The new South Park Bridge is open following its closure in 2010 over safety concerns.Luckily, this crossing was repaired in time to avoid any serious problems. But Washington certainly has had its share of past bridge fails.
Here are a few of the most legendary:

Hoko River Bridge collapse
A heavy logging truck is blamed for the collapse of the Hoko River Bridge on the Olympic Peninsula in 1947.Historylink.org says a 40-ton logging truck tried to make the crossing on the bridge with a load limit of 5 tons.
The driver escaped unharmed, but he did face legal action for taking the heavy truck across the bridge.

To go outside for potty my dogs have to cross my deck and go down the deck stairs. I'm in the Seattle area and it rains here 9 months of the year.
This deck is cedar, and only about 4 years old. I scrubbed it down pretty much to bare wood in August and re-stained it. Look at it after only six months! It looked bad after three. Yes I try to keep the dogs' toenails short, but I'm not perfect. Anyway, mine aren't huge dogs; the largest weighs only about 27 lbs. Do any of you have this problem? If you've had good luck with certain products I'd sure love to know what they are. This is ridiculous working that hard for such crummy results, and I've had this happen now with two different stains -- one an oil based one that attracted so much algae I had two bad falls last winter, and the other a water based (Cabot). |

In your situation, you might be better off with recycled plastic lumber. The boards are not cheap but you don't need to paint or stain it and it shouldn't scratch up easily. My dogs don't have to cross a deck to get outside but we do have an outdoor wood deck and it does have some of that wear right at the door only. If you have Lowes up there they usually have recycled lumber in stock if you want to take a look at it. |
Thanks, Quirky, but I can't afford to have the deck rebuilt and it's only four years old. I'm on a DIY budget. |
My animal advice is not well recieved here, but I am a woodworker/remodler, and I lived in the Tacoma area for two years, so will offer my advice in that area. QQ's advice to replace the deck boards with composite(Trex is a brand name) material will be the most permanent long term fix. Another option is to use treated lumber which needs no finish and will weather grey. The other thing I see in the second picture is cracks and splits in the boards where the screws are. That is an indication there will be further problems, especially with the amount of rain you get. So, best solution, replace the deck boards with composite---Lowe's or Home Depot, or Menards---will have their version of materials----and there should be a few color choices. |
I'm glad to see handymac's comments. I don't have a deck, but when I looked at the wear it really didn't look like dog damage, it looks more like water damage to me. |
Oceanna, I saw the DIY info. There is one other possible solution, but it is sometimes difficult for DIYers. It might be possible to powerwash the deck boards to remove the mold/mildew. That is a delicate procedure, since using the powerwasher incorrectly will severely damage the boards. The bigger problem is the moisture that has been absorbed by the boards. Even when the surface dries out, there is excsee moisture inside the boards, which is covered by any stain/finish---and prevents the finish from adhereing to the wood. Try this---find a Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, or other dedicated paint store(Not a home improvement store) and see what they recommend. People who live in your climate often have knowlege those of us who live outside your area do not have. I like SW, for the local service and the fact that company just released some new exterior care products about a year ago. |
Saw your post and pics on the Decor forum and have to agree with others that the worst wear is from the weather. But, you also have a combination of mold, algae, old solid stain (or paint) on the surface and possible rot under the boards. As handymac mentioned, the joints and screw heads look suspicious. We always had a wood deck when we lived in Calif and even with our short rainy season we had to clean and restain at least every two years. Like yours, it would wear worst in the areas exposed to the sun and rain while the areas under the eaves looked untouched. I hated that deck as much as I loved it! Cedar is a very soft wood and I can understand your son not wanting you to use the pressure washer. Judging by the pics, it appears you already have raised grain in several areas. Our current home has a composite deck and I can't say enough good about it. No more chemicals and no more treatments! Before doing anything, I would have someone climb under the deck, if possible, and check for rot. If you have rot, nothing will adhere to the wood. BTW, I think rubber mats will just hold more moisture and cause things to rot faster. |
- Posted by cuttervonwifflepuff (My Page) on Mon, Feb 18, 08 at 17:46
I totally agree with annz on truly comparing the cost of composite versus maintaining a wood deck. Not to mention the hours of labor you have to put into that wood deck! If you have to take time off work to treat that deck, that's an added expense of DIY. In Alaska, we had a Trex deck for 6 years before we moved, and we never had to do a darn thing to maintain it. Held up to the 6-month-long snowy winters and the 6-month-long rainy summers like a champ. It was so nice!!!! Best of all, no splinters, so we could walk barefoot on it. We just bought a new house with a massive wood deck (near Portland, OR), and I am dreading taking care of it, I almost didn't want to buy the house because of it. First chance we get, we're going to replace it with a composite deck. |
Thanks everyone. I'm retired and on a tiny fixed income. I can investigate the cost, but as I said this deck is only four years old. It's in good shape, and regardless of the photos, there is no raised grain. It's never been pressure washed. I do agree that it's mainly the rain that's the problem. My stairs rotted out in my last house after about 30 years. I had them replaced with ... well, I dunno what it was, but it wasn't wood. It was very costly and it didn't rot. It started out a pretty wood look but after a few months had faded in the sun/rain to an ugly grey. But it was strong stuff. At the bottom of the stairs off my deck is... another deck. lol. It seems to weather better than the upper deck and the only reason I can see for that is dog toenails. The dogs don't hang out on the lower deck. Handymac, you make some good points about our weather. As you know it's wet, wet, and wet. It could be that the deck wasn't sufficiently dried out when I stained it... but I used a water based stain. The thing is with the dogs using it I pretty much have to clean it and stain it in one day. |
Go to the paint store and see what they have to combat the weather. That is going to be the best thing you can do in your budget situation. But, the existing boards will have to be cleaned and dry before reapplying anything else. |
Thanks, Handymac. Do they have to be bone dry before applying a water-based? The guy at the hardware store said they don't. |
Um, hardware store guys are usually pretty good with hardware---the folks at my favorite stores are really good----but they don't know a lot about staining/painting. The Paint store folks know staining/painting, but not much about hardware. The term bone dry has different values for different folks. From my experience, staining/painting even damp wood with any product is setting up the job for early failure---reason is because applying a stain/paint seals in the moisture under the finish----which will find a way out when the temperature rises. When it does that, it generally pushes up the finish, loosening it. That allows the interior moisture to escape----but, it also destroys the finishes ability to repel the next moisture that comes along, starting a cycle of absorbtion/drying which results in the breakdown of the wood fibers---and the softening and failure of the wood. Now, there has to be some moisture in wood---up to 12% is not uncommon. And finishes are applied successfully to woods with that or lower moisture content. If you can get the mold/mildew off, plus the old finishes and get the wood to 12% moisture content, I think the correct deck stain AND finish---as recommended by a paint store knowlegeable person will last for a couple years before needing retreatment. But, there will probably not be a apply and forget it product. |

Hi Oceanna, I agree with Handymac above about your deck. We have a fairly new deck and 4 dogs constantly running across it to go in and out all day long (100, 90, 60, and 30 lbs respectively). If you re-stained it back in August, that's awfully soon for you to see the kind of damage you have now. We stained ours about 8 months ago and it looks almost as good as when it was first done. We used Cabot's Austrailian Timber Oil on treated white pine in "Mahogany Flame". It really looks like redwood. However, over on the Deck forum, I know TWP is often recommended. Your deck shows the kind of wear our old one had (when we had only 1 dog). The mildew is really prohibiting any kind of penetration that would help protect the wood. A few nail scratches shouldn't be removing the finish like that. Your stain should have penetrated deep enough to take care of it. Our weather isn't quite as harsh here in Middle TN as Seattle, but we do get our fair share of all 4 seasons, including rain and snow (and even a few tornadoes now and then). Good luck! |
My decks are redwood and we choose not to have them treated and let them weather naturally, that was 25 years ago. They look well weathered, have some nicks and and spots here and there, but I like the weathered look. The dogs don't do much noticable damage, but there are cat-scratches here and there, adding character to the appearance. In Northern California with the intense rainy period in winter and hot, dry weather in summer, the sun is probably the most damaging. |
Thanks Lilod. I really think with all our rain this wood needs protection. I'm just not sure what to put on it. To compound the problem one day is about as long as I can keep the critters off it. I'm having some low back/hip/leg problems and to keep them off it I need to go downstairs to let them out each time. Stairs are very hard for me. That's why I'm thinking I have to stay water based. I can clean it and hose it off, but wait two weeks for it to dry after the hosing? I can't do that. |

I have been hunting northern Mexico for the better part of three decades, and always feel safe and secure traveling there. This year I spent a week, including New Year's Eve, hunting Coues whitetails in Chihuahua with Ernesto Beall and Ojo Caliente Outfitters. This is one of the most affordable, exciting and enjoyable winter big-game hunts around. The northern Mexican states offer the best Coues deer hunting in the world right now. Most areas of these states have not been pounded like common habitat areas in Arizona and New Mexico, meaning the odds of finding a buck with enough age to grow large is much better. Also, you do not have to draw tags, meaning if you want to hunt them this season—in Chihuahua the season runs through January 25—all you have to do is hook up with a quality outfitter and go. You can get last-minute hunt deals for about three grand for six full days of hunting, which is less than many guided hunts for whitetails in the states.

No matter the student's age, ability level, or style of dance they'd like to master, the instructors at Power House of Dance probably teach a class to match. They lead dozens of classes Monday–Thursday at their two studios, which earned the 2010 Park Cities Neighbors Choice Award for Best Dance Studio. Kids can learn new moves in ballet, lyrical, tap, or high-kick classes, among a plethora of other choices, or take their skills to the competitive level on a dance team, which range in style from a drill company to a cheer power squad to a Boyz Squad. Ballet and ballroom dance classes teach adults fancy footwork, and yoga and Zumba classes help them whittle down waistlines without hitting the treadmill or bench-pressing another dancer. In addition to teaching group classes, the instructors impart individual attention in private lessons.
Dance is all about motion, so it's fitting that Dancer-Strong began as a mobile dance-teaching operation. Skilled instructors have traveled all-over to different studios to educate students. Eventually, the desire to teach a full schedule of classes led the group to open their four-studio academy in 2012. They quickly expanded their offerings with a selection of fitness classes.
Today, the instructors teach 11 forms of dance as well as 11 different fitness classes, and an outdoor boot camp. In the next room, they might be torching calories with Zumba or kickboxing. They also teach students how to perform classical steps in ballet and move to the contemporary rhythms of hip hop.They even offer an entire track of dance classes geared toward home-schooled students' unique schedules.
Do you want to look forward to your workouts? Get ready for the Sole Groove experience! This adult-oriented dance studio specializes in exercise fused with fun! Soon, we will provide the women of Flower Mound and the surrounding areas with an opportunity to embrace your youth, move your feet, and feed your spirit!
Turning Pointe Dance Studio reflects the culmination of a lifelong dream. Since she was 9 years old, Amy Allen has dreamed of establishing her own dance studio. She began her dancing career with the Metrocrest Civic Ballet before acting as the artistic director of a local performing group. Now at Turning Pointe, she passes on her years of training to young and adult dancers alike. She teaches kids the proper technique and vocabulary of tap, jazz, ballet, and hip-hop while nurturing their self-confidence. Her adult students can explore ballet and tap classes in a relaxed, noncompetitive setting or whip into shape in cardio classes, building the endurance to out-tap-dance a tap-dancing octopus. Her students respond to their instruction with graceful skill and style and have represented the studio in performances at the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic halftime show, Six Flags Over Texas, and Walt Disney World.
Inspired by New York City's The Actors Studio, thespians Erica and Shane Peterman established The Acting Studio as a place for youngsters and adults with acting aspirations to focus on their craft. Along with experienced dancer Kellie Carroll, the Petermans train students on musical-theater fundamentals in classes that range from jazz dance to private voice lessons. The advanced Triple Threat program places pupils intending to pursue a performing-arts career under the tutelage of industry pros who prep them for performances. Kids more interested in dabbling, meanwhile, can meet industry bigwigs at workshops, and several full-scale productions each year grant children the chance to act alongside their peers and improvise dance numbers.
This multifaceted education center celebrates Bollywood culture with a variety of dance, music, and fitness classes. Bollywood Arts Performing Center allows clients to study the sounds of Bollywood with vocal training, drumming classes, and mandatory 24-hour Bollywood-movie-watching marathons. During kathak dance sessions, students learn the classical Indian steps featured in major Bollywood films, whereas krumping and popping and locking take center stage during hip-hop classes. The center also offers fitness programs, such as Zumba and yoga, which keep bodies primed for dancing and running competitive paper routes.

Cataclysm raid progression refinements {WoW}
Apr 27th 2010 1:36PM This is realy disappointing. They're doing this just to get more players raiding so they can make more money.
I hated the idea of heroic modes in TBC, then the transition to heroic raids in Wrath. Blizz is just selling out.
Remember the days when there was only 1-2 guilds doing Naxx (vanilla). Now you have hordes of guilds doing end game, which is good, but it fills the game with terrible, rude, careless players like... xbox live?
In my opinion they should keep the 10-25 man concept they have now, but drop the heroic modes. Just bump up the difficulty a bit. That way 25man is still very challenging, but more casual players can still see the content in 10 man.
But I do like the idea of multiple raids a week. Say, 3-4 raids with 5-6 bosses each, much better then clearing one long raid.
Side note. I REALLY REALLY MISS 40man raids. Even though there were a pain and made things a little difficult, it still really made WoW feel like a MASSIVELY-MULTIPLAYER game. Srsly, most FPSs have 25 people games. 40man (or up) feels right.

The height of an object or structure above a reference level, usually above sea level or the Earth's surface.
Astronomy The position of a celestial object above an observer's horizon, measured in degrees along a line between the horizon (0°) and the zenith (90°). Unlike declination and celestial latitude—the corresponding points in other celestial coordinate systems—the altitude of star or other celestial object is dependent on an observer's geographic location and changes steadily as the sky passes overhead due to the rotation of the Earth. See more at altazimuth coordinate system.
Mathematics The perpendicular distance from the base of a geometric figure, such as a triangle, to the opposite vertex, side, or surface.

Arugula Salad with Caramelized Onions, Goat Cheese, and Candied Walnuts Reviews
Bon Appétit | March 2010
reviews & comments (24)
Delicious the first day, not as good a day later. I thought the croutons lacked flavor and would add some garlic next time.
I used baby greens instead of arugula, which worked fine. The candied walnuts were delicious, but remained tacky (the coating never hardens). I left out the croutons and it still tasted great.
This was a very nice salad. The walnuts didnt harden the way I thought they should, but it still tasted wonderful. We had a late addition to our table, so I addeed spring mix salad to stretch it out and it was still delicious.

I'll take Blonde Bikini Teela before any of them, but after her, Demon-Form Damon (there's a pic of him confronting He-Man in a flashback).
Now that ToyGuru has stated that Mattel can make characters from the 80's MOTU DC comics, who would you like to see made first?
Old King & Queen
I can't fit the other four pictures in this post for some reason, so I will post them in a few minutes.

I'll take Blonde Bikini Teela before any of them, but after her, Demon-Form Damon (there's a pic of him confronting He-Man in a flashback).
Here are the other 4 pics.
Super hot Teela
Ugly Stratos
Variant Prince Adam

That Stratos is one of the worst thing that I've seen all day!

Hmmm. Out of all of those, Teela looks like she'd be the most interesting.
I'd like to see a blue Mer-Man and a bright orange and red Beast-Man, similar to the vintage figure. Beast-Man is one of the figures, where I thought the prototype looked far better, as the actual figure is a little drab for my tastes.
Last edited by Whiplash7; July 5, 2010 at 11:50pm.
DC Bikini Teela and Blue Vested Prince Adam without a doubt.
I'm not sure how they would explain the elderly Royals in MOTUC.
Ceril, Damon, Tarrak and especially Crusher, are pretty much one shot characters.
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
I want blonde bikini, nearly naked Teela first!
There's also some hot slave/ dancer girl in one of the DC comics. She's just a background character, but I'd take her before some of those other choices.
Bikini Teela: Hottest version ever!!
They all look incredibly boring to me. Cant imagine Mattel would ever get to any of them besides maybe the Teela.
Bikini Teela first for me! I'd take any of them, though.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
1- Blue vest Adam (sexy legs Adam!!)
2- Bikini Teela (sexy everything Teela!!)
3- Old King (he did appear in a lot of mini-comics and i'd like to have him)
4- Damon (I didn't know about him until the current redesign challenge but he's grown on me)
My MOTUC top wants (POST NYCC 2014):
Filmation:Twiggets - Red Knight - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Dylamug - Vultak - Enchantress - Kothos - General Tataran - Evil Seed (Filmation artichoke) - Masque - Sybiline (with a pack-in Gorgon) - Melaktha
Others: Despara - toy version of Catra - Veena - Master Sebrian - Drissi - Caz - Andros - Sorceress (NA comics version)- Kex Queen - Lodar
Cool thread, JOSEEPHUS.
It's a tie between Savage TEELA and Blue Vest ADAM. I want BOTH!!!
Always Expect the Unexpected!
Teela, then Adam
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a headThe B-52's
I'll take none. There are plenty of quality characters to do, we don't need to go combing the depths for characters that had a panel or two 20 years ago. This isn't Star Wars where the line can sustain guys that made a 1 1/2 second appearance in the cantina scene.
Are there other options besides the ones presented before my posting this?
Ceril and the Damon-Demon looks pretty good to me. Bikini Teela isn't going to happen, probably. They would have to redesign the female form to make her, and there isn't a huge movement for that one character. Ileena is the only other female I can think of who sports a bikini top, and she's Filmation.
I'm surprised to see yet another variant of Adam's wardrobe. I'd really enjoy having multiple Adams with different clothes on, like a GI JOE figure from the 70's.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I'd take all of them! That DC comic was one of my fav stories when I was young. But most of all, I'd love to see:
- Teela
- Adam
- Ceril
- Tarrak
- Damon
- Zodac's chair
- Skeletor
- He-man
"The most difficult thing is trying not to forget who you really want to be." - Nong Toom
I am looking for these Marvel Legends figures
My marketplace feedback
I am not a fan of the Pre-Filmation stories but I wouldn't be totally opposed to a Damon figure. I'd like the bikini Teela but I'd want them to label her as a character other than Teela. (I'd accept her as a non-Goddess Sharella) I can't help thinking if they do release a blonde Teela it will just be a repaint of the existing Teela buck and not this outfit. Shame because they need to make a bare midriff female buck so they can put out a Veena figure!
The Marlena figure sure as hell had better NOT look like that!
"How I loathe heroes! Always getting in the way and acting so... so... heroic!"
please check out my fan fics at:
That's what I'm talking about!
Bikini Teela, Red Beastman (with spiked mace!), Damon, and others FTW!
Matty, Great Black Wizard figure please!
Blue Clothes Adam
Bikini Teela (don't ever see this one happening)
Supporter of All Eras! Including "Son of He-Man"!

Largemouth and guadalupe bass fin through the Colorado River rapids while birds soar above river islands and swimmer-friendly sandbars. Moored in a nook along this artery, Texas native and outdoor enthusiast Danny Walker—known as "Pops"—and his son—"Dan the Man Omega Mega"—equip adventurers by renting regular, tandem, and fishing kayaks, as well as standup paddleboards, from MOC Kayaks. To elevate river adventures from Huck Finn–style floating to Rambo-style hunting, pros outfit customers with fishing poles and tackle, sending them off to catch some of the river's more than 20 varieties of perch. For those who'd rather drop their lines in stiller waters, MOC Kayaks takes paddlers to Lake Travis and Lake Austin, and those who seek coaching on how to catch finned bounty can take advantage of guided trips. Dedicated adventurers can also buy their own kayaks to craft custom adventures or to take home and paddle around neighbors' pools.
The sagacious proprietors of Row Paddle Brushy Creek enable year-round water wrangling on idyllic Brushy Creek Lake with a fleet of stable tandem kayaks. Beginning paddlers and veteran boaters alike can take to the sturdy sit-on-top kayaks while careening around the 38-acre lake for 60 nature-filled minutes, catching glimpses of nearby fauna while disciplining errant waves with precise bops on their heads. Tote along your rod, tackle and reel in mealtime during a six-hour jaunt on Fishing Fridays, beckoning tasty water residents away from their underwater condo association meetings and toward your dinner plate. The Bushy Creek Lake Park area features a playground, nature trails, picnic tables, and barbecue grills for preparing fresh catches.
Suited for all kinds of aquatic explorers, the enormous fleet of watercraft curated by Austin Boat Rentals ranges from long houseboats to three-person WaveRunners and boats to pull water-skiers. But not only do they rent out boats, they plan parties, offer access to the Volente Beach Water Park, wakeboarding lessons, and even limo service to the downtown area.
Several years ago, Branndon Bargo and his brother set out on a mammoth adventure. Not sure what they were after, they biked 4,000 miles to Baja, Mexico from Alaska and found themselves submerged in the open waters of the Pacific, scuba diving with great white sharks. After a harrowing climb of Mount McKinley in Alaska, Branndon began questioning his motivations for staying at his desk job. So in 2005, he gently kissed his cubicle goodbye and founded Live Adventure as a means of encouraging others to challenge themselves while discovering deeper connections with the world around them. Within Cedar Hill State Park, Brandon organizes team-building programs and encourages groups to kayak, synchronize swim, and fish on Joe Pool Lake. Other expeditions include rock-climbing outings and custom guided jaunts around the planet.
Just Yakin outfits aquatic adventurers with a plethora of single and tandem kayak rentals delivered to each customer's preferred paddling shore. Four hours of buoyant recreation await synchronized duos or solo seafarers, beckoning kayakers on expeditions to sandy shores or tranquil waterways more majestic than a bald eagle breathing fireworks. Opt for a kayak designed for fish wrangling, which includes a cooler and storage space to transport any finned finds back to land. Just Yakin's friendly staff stocks each pointed stream skimmer with essential kayaking equipment including life jackets, basic instruction, and a playlist of traditional kraken lullabies.
The watercraft experts of Go Paddle Down help guests launch into the secluded, cool waters of Lake Marble Falls for hours of exploration away from the bustle of Austin. They'll also deliver up to four boards to the customer's location for a special event, enabling half or whole days of aqueous entertainment. Newcomers to paddelboarding receive additional instruction from expert paddlers, while the more experienced are free to adventure on their own.
