About this location
The Italian Riviera region
From Sestri Levante to Santa Margherita Ligure, the Tigullio coastline is strewn with a trail of seaside resorts that have boasted a distinguished tourism tradition for over two hundred years. This area offers vast beaches providing full services and equipment to visitors, spacious, full-service harbours, cutting-edge sports facilities, and top-of-the-line, elegant accommodations. Along the Tigullio coastline, all this is combined with beautiful seascapes, bustling towns, and charming sea floors, lapped by favourable currents.
Sailing, surfing, horseback riding and golfing enthusiasts will find an ideal setting in which to practice their sports, both in the area's natural environment and its sports facilities. The coastline also teams with trendy clubs, shops and high quality handcrafts stores, thus making for enjoyable shopping and nightlife experiences.
Rapallo and Chiavari are actual cities, famous for both their thriving tourist trade and charming handcrafts, such as lace (to which Rapallo has devoted a museum), furniture (such as Chiavari's charming wooden chairs), and the traditional damask and velvet that Zoagli still produces to this day.
Santa Margherita, between Rapallo and Portofino, boasts hotels and conference centres of international fame. In Sestri Levante, the beauty of the Bay of Silence (baia del Silenzio) defies description, making it one of the most spectacular sights along the coast. The hills along the gulf are strewn with scenic views, beginning with the Sanctuary of Montallegro, which may be reached by means of Rapallo's convenient funicular railway
Among the main cities in Liguria, Chiavari, the town once known as Clavarium ("key to the valleys"), is situated at the centre of the Tigullio Gulf. The fortified town of Chiavari was founded in 1178, when the Genoese adopted a policy of expansion towards the East in order to contain the power of the Fieschis. You can still see the ruins of the castle built that was in 1147. On the site of the ancient citadel, a fifteenth-century Genoese structure whose crinellated tower still survives, there now stands the Palazzo di Giustizia (1886).
Next to the historic municipal building and the bishop's place, the seat of the Diocesan Museum, stands the sanctuary of Nostra Signora dell'Orto, a seventeenth-century cathedral: its interior holds many eighteenth-century works of art from the monasteries that were suppressed following the French Revolution.
In the heart of the old town, porticoed Via Martiri della Liberazione has retained its vocation for commerce: this is the ancient "straight alley" which became the most representative street of the bourgeoisie in the mid-fourteenth century. Some very old handicraft activities still survive in Chiavari - the production of "campanino" chairs and macramé lace-making, which can be admired in the little market that is open every month in the old town streets.
Chiavari's leisure port can berth about 450 boats

It is simply time that there was a head of government that has the guts to stand up and say to people, "It's not real. The money that you all think is worth so much is junk." The system is based on fraud.
Federal Reserve notes are a fraud. The moment that the public's own money (then based on an intrinsic value) was replaced by private interests, and loaned to the public for interest…the fraud began.
Later when it was "unhooked" from an intrinsic value of any sort (came off the gold standard), the fraud was complete and perpetual.
If, as I suspect, that other financial interests (most notably European trading blocks) decide to undermine confidence in the U.S. dollar as the world standard currency, we'll all be back to living in the bronze age with stunning speed.
Personally, I welcome it. I welcome the utter and complete destruction of the system that is little more than a fraud continually strapped onto the backs of the basic and hard working people of this country.
The path to renewal is unfortunately, going to cause a lot of pain for millions of people in this country. I hope that those out there that have done so well by way of this perpetual fraud reap what they have sown to the fullest measure of pay back being a stone cold bitch.
Vai Victus.

This week's Open Call has us looking, oh, two weeks down the road toward a new administration and fresh political era wondering just what President Obama will and can accomplish. We know what's been promised -- and the larger forces complicating that.
But we want to know what be your top priority would be. So for this week's call, we'd like you to imagine that you've been given, on the even of his inauguration, a solid hour with the man with the confident smile and kind eyes to lobby for one single issue. What would you say?
We'll spotlight a range of responses to this question on the Open cover, and promote it on the Salon cover, before the big swearing in day on Jan. 20.
Be sure to tag your posts: lobby obama.
the only way to concentrate the minds of politicians on the welfare of ordinary people is to have the means of their replacement at hand. if simple citizenship does not inspire you to do this, how about the title awarded by a grateful populace:
"father of american democracy"
1. Please put the tattered remnants of the Social Security trust fund in Al Gore's Lock Box. Eliminate fraud, waste and abuse in Social Security programs.
2. Congratulations on an excellent track record of remembering ALL vets, not just the most popular ones. Please try to fund extra research and medical care for the battlefield brain and other injuries that are new and unique to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Provide housing for homeless Iraq and Afghanistan Vets and/or their surviving dependents. Consider PTSD incurred on the battlefield a battlefield injury and make it a compensable, service connected disorder, with a Purple Heart. Fund research into new and undiagnosed disorders incurred in the newer combat theaters. Eliminate the delays and unfairness in getting returning vets into the system. Publicly honor the returning casualties. Hide them from us no more.
3. Consider infrastructure repair and development the new form of "Growth" for this country's economy.
4. Please stay with your plan to cut fraud, waste and abuse in Government. Cut the pork from legislation, and shame on anyone who puts it there.
5. Restructure "Homeland" Security. Rename it: "America's Security" or something else, please. Detach FEMA from the security apparatus, and make FEMA functional for natural disasters, for once. Eliminate fraud, waste and abuse in this department.
6. Review the role of military units that have been deployed to operate on American Soil, particularly the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division. This unit is necessary in the event of a greatly catastrophic natural or terror related disaster, but is probably in a big mess right now. It's role and mission need to be clearly defined. Review the structure and status of the reserve forces and national guard units. Much repair is needed.
7. Good luck with immigration and it's effect on the border states! California, New Mexico, and Arizona especially need funds to deal with the costs of providing for illegal and legal immigrants.
8. Don't let the media dictate your agenda or priorities, please!
The US government needs transparency in it's action and processes more than any one thing. The last eight years has managed to spawn a neo-monarchy in the Oval office.
We could also use some plastic tarps for our appliance boxes, the rain and snow are playing hell with mine, I can hardly read the "Maytag" emblem on my "roof" anymore.

She knows how obsessed I am with my Taco, and her dad owns a Toyota/Lexus dealership in the DR, but I have no idea how she never got around to telling me that her dad has a Hilux.
Anyway, we just got back from vacation down in the DR and I got to drive her dad's truck quite a bit.
Here's a couple pix:
Kinda weird how the skewp is off-center on the hood, but I guess it's actually functional:
Didn't like the interior nearly as much as my Taco, but the factory in-dash stereo/nav was nice, and he said he could get me one for my Taco for cheap:
In the past, I was never really interested in having a diesel Tacoma, but after driving the Hilux I would really LOVE to have a diesel. It's much quieter than I would have thought, has great power, and gets around 10 km/l which is about 23-24 mpg on average (not bad for a 4x4). We talked quite a bit about doing a diesel swap in a 2nd gen Taco, and he said it has been done in the DR and isn't that hard to do. If anyone has any questions about doing it, I'm sure I could ask for you.
They also have TONS of Taco's in the DR:
Anyway, we had an awesome time down there. Stayed a nice resort on the beach for a few days and soaked in lots of pina coladas con rum blanco.

So I am really happy about my new trainer(he's not really a trainer) he actually teaches me instead of telling me to whip my horse and what not...also the spurs I have on in the video are very very mild but I tried riding him without them and he ran away with me and almost ran us into the fence when it was time to turn. Also I'm not kicking him with them on the way home I'm using the side of my heel . But it's so refreshing not having someone telling me to hit my horse like in this video with TC turning the last barrel a tad wide I was late on checking him but my old BO would have told me to whip him and my new one said when I came out "That was good when you come by this week we'll work on your timing, but that was great kid" and he gave me a high five...TC and I actually beat him and his horse! (but his horse is still in training lol)
Also TC isn't HOT in the arena he is just very full of himself he comes out of the arena prancing and snorting like he just won at the world's biggest barrels competition lol but I don't have the heart to tell him otherwise lol.
Anyway here ya go lol

Yes, that was a disaster! I was probably more alluding to the rocky relationships the captains have had with certain players that somehow DT managed to avoid:
McQuillan publicly slamming Lesley Bowrey and that she gave more time (and favoured) Jelena Dokic.
John Alexander accusing Nicole Pratt of not playing due to not being paid enough.
Rennae Stubbs falling out with our natural treasure Goolagong and Mark Woodforde - and saying the game had past Evonne.
DT kept things fairly low key (part from the Glen Iris debacle) but the position has often attracted drama
Hopefully Alicia has the skills to manage things unlike Rafter who seems to just think suspensions are the way if he sees something he doesn't like.
There's more to life than just being happy.

UPDATE 3-Orbitz, Priceline shares dive on weaker outlooks
- Tweet
- Share this
* Orbitz Q2 EPS 4 cents a share * Europe worries cited * Analyst says Priceline shifting to more mature growth Aug 8 (Reuters) - Shares of Orbitz Worldwide Inc and Priceline.com slumped on Wednesday after the online travel agencies said a weakening global economy would hurt their growth. Priceline.com, with the largest market capitalization in the sector, was down 16 percent while Orbitz fell 24 percent to be the percentage loss leader on the New York Stock Exchange. Orbitz cut its full-year growth forecast on Wednesday, a day after Priceline said weakness in Europe could hurt results in the current quarter. Shares of Expedia, another rival, fell more than 5 percent. Daniel Kurnos, an analyst with Benchmark Co, cited near-term pressure for the online travel agencies, whose results reflect the outlook for leisure travel. But he said were still plenty of growth opportunities as they expand to new geographies. Online travel companies "are going to experience increasing or incremental weakness for at least the next quarter if not into the fourth quarter," Kurnos said. Orbitz, which also owns the CheapTickets and ebookers travel sites, said its revised outlook reflects worse conditions in Europe, weaker online air travel demand and foreign-exchange challenges. Priceline.com, which owes much of its success to international bookings on its European travel site Booking.com, said on Tuesday it expected Europe could deteriorate. Stifel Nicolaus cut its rating on Priceline.com, long a star in the online travel sector and a favorite among investors, to "hold" from "buy," saying it was transitioning to slower growth. "We believe Priceline shares should be held as part of growth portfolios, but investors should expect a more mature company growing at a slower pace," Stifel analyst George Askew said in a note to clients on Wednesday. Orbitz said transactions tied to U.S. air travel fell in the second quarter, offsetting growth in transactions for hotel and vacation packages. Its net income was $4.6 million, or 4 cents a diluted share, in the second quarter, down from $8.9 million, or 8 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts expected Orbitz profit of 5 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Orbitz said the total value of the company's travel bookings fell 1 percent to $2.97 billion in the second quarter, hurt by currency effects. Quarterly revenue was flat at about $201 million, compared with $207.8 million expected by analysts. Orbitz said it now expects revenue to rise 2 percent to 4 percent for the full year, compared with a May view of growth between 4 percent and 8 percent. It also pared its growth forecast for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Orbitz said it now expects adjusted EBITDA for the year to be flat to up 5 percent; in May it had called for a 7 to 12 percent increase. Orbitz shares were down 24 percent to $3.53 in afternoon trading as Priceline.com fell 16 percent to $569.56. Expedia shed about 5.5 percent to $55.64.

I had a Le Freak from Green Flash recently. It's described as an IIPA brewed like a Tripel. It was very nice and it got me thinking: What other beers would be new/interesting brewed with Belgian yeast. American Pale Ale (probably my favorite style)? ESB American Wheat I always keep a light colored, less hoppy beer on tap for the BMC crowd, so how about Centennial Blonde or a Cream Ale with a Belgian yeast? When you start messing around there is always the chance of ending up with muddled flavors that don't compliment each other very well. For example, I don't think a Belgian yeast would compliment an ESB. Has anybody tried this? What do you think?
Peep my nanobrewery: http://crookedrunbrewing.com Crooked Run Brewing: Traditional ales, local ingredients
Have you tried Stone's "Cali-Belgique" IPA?
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
I just, hopefully, brewed a Belgian esb. I had: 6lbs northern dark lme 1 lb amber dme 1oz brewers gold hop Another oz of very low acid hop 1/4 cup maltodextrin And used .6 crystal 200, .1 choc malt, .4 biscuit grain And a small splash of almond extract for fun. Now i used white labs English ale yeast, in hopes of making an esb and had expired abby ale yeast i used as well. My english was chunky so i decided to be bold and try a esb farmhouse. Anyone think I may be turning out a bad batch?

Manchester United 2 QPR 0
As Manchester City collapse spectacularly and painfully, their closest neighbours and rivals roll on. With six games left, Manchester United stand on the threshold of yet another Barclays Premier League title. Sir Alex Ferguson will not admit it. He has clearly decided to leave the dramatic public pronouncements to City's Roberto Mancini. But the remarkable run of form that began after the defeat at Newcastle on January 4 has taken Ferguson's team to the brink of yet another stunning achievement.

Cheapo Records to Close
Cheapo will be the second local record store to close this year after Encore Records announced its demise in January. Encore's prolonged closing over the spring months now has the beginnings of what one hopes becomes a happy ending in that it's reopened on East Sixth Street near the ND at 501 Studios, with an emphasis on that which might keep album sales from going the way of the Triceratops: vinyl.
In fact, Cheapo's Shields, who once owned Under the Sun Vintage on Burnet Road, admitted he'd love another shot at the vinyl trade and "opening a record store/vintage shop, [but] I can't really see myself doing that." Shields knows about diminished media, having owned and operated in the Nineties both a local magazine Texas Jamboree, and a record label of the same name – home to recently deceased rocker Nick Curran's first two solo discs.
Shields promises a plethora of in-stores and closing sales at his familiar Lamar storefront, but it's hard to ignore the handwriting on the wall. Not a decade ago, the Austin landscape of local record stores was radically different.

The Headhunters
View In iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The Headhunters represented a major turning point for Herbie Hancock, whose approach to fusion became slicker and more commercial (though not without substance or integrity) with the formation of this popular band in 1973. Before that, the chameleonic pianist/keyboardist had been leading a daring unit called the Sextant, which fused jazz, R&B, and rock with world music and took more than its share of chances. But regrettably, the Sextant's three albums for Warner Bros. were modest sellers at best, so in 1973, he disbanded the Sextant and formed the Headhunters. Employing saxman/clarinetist Bennie Maupin (a holdover from the Sextant), bassist Paul Jackson, Jr., drummer Harvey Mason, and percussionist Bill Summers, Hancock made a point of being more accessible when he unveiled the Headhunters with his 1973 Columbia date Head Hunters. Fusing jazz with funk and rock, the album sold over a million copies and attracted many R&B and rock fans. In fact, Head Hunters even outsold Miles Davis' popular Bitches Brew. Defined by the catchy "Chameleon" (which was interpreted by jazz singer Eddie Jefferson in 1976 and sampled by various rappers in the '80s and '90s) and a funky remake of his 1962 boogaloo "Watermelon Man," Headhunters set the tone for subsequent Columbia projects with the Headhunters, including Thrust (1974), Man-Child (1975), Secrets (1976), and Sunlight (1977). By the end of the decade, the Headhunters were no more, and Hancock was turning his attention to everything from outright R&B to standards and acoustic post-bop. In the '90s, Sony's Legacy label reissued most of the Headhunters' work on CD, and in 1998 the group reunited to record Return of the Headhunters!

Community Banks Serving Their Communities First Act or Communities First Act - Revises regulatory requirements for community banks, including through amendments to:(1) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to permit certain insured depository institutions to submit a short form report of condition, and
(2) the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to exempt certain small-sized depository institutions from the annual management assessment of internal controls requirements. Directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board) to publish in the Federal Register certain proposed revisions to the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement on Assessment of Financial and Managerial Factors relating to:
(1) certain bank holding companies with pro forma consolidated assets of less than $1 billion, and
(2) an increased debt-to-equity ratio allowable for a small bank holding company. Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to direct the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to:
(1) ensure that information, documents, and reports accurately and appropriately reflect the business model of a registered security issuer;
(2) approve any new or amended generally accepted accounting principle only if it would have no negative economic impact on certain small-sized insured depository institutions;
(3) increase the shareholder registration threshold for certain banks and bank holding companies; and
(4) terminate the registration of any class of security, in the case of a bank or bank holding company, whose holders of record are reduced to less than 1700 persons. Amends the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 to:
(1) authorize the Financial Stability Oversight Council to set aside a final regulation prescribed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) if the Council decides that it would be inconsistent with the safe and sound operation of U.S. financial institutions, or could adversely impact disproportionately a subset of the banking industry; and
(2) repeal the authority of the Federal Reserve Board to delegate to the CFPB its authority to examine persons for compliance with federal consumer financial laws.

Amends the Equal Credit Opportunity Act with respect to requirements with which a financial institution must comply in collecting data for evaluation of a credit application by a women-owned, minority-owned, or small business. Applies such requirements only to financial institutions having over $1 billion in assets (thus exempting smaller financial institutions). Amends the Internal Revenue Code to:

(2) exclude from gross income any interest on loans secured by agricultural real property,
(3) increase the cap on qualified small issue bonds,
(4) allow certain FDIC-insured financial institutions with $10 billion or less in gross assets to elect partnership (limited liability company) tax treatment, and

Because at 160,000 years, the party is just getting started.

Tags: weather, question to readers
Blizzards, bitterly cold temperatures — the past few months have been full of wild weather stories, shared in the news and at the local coffee shops. Here in northeast Kansas, we had an early stretch of unusually bitterly cold days, followed by a white Christmas that for many people entailed being snowed in for anywhere from one to three days. It was beautiful, but definitely not the average Kansas Christmas. And that doesn't hold a candle to the heavy-duty winter Washington, D.C., has been experiencing. (Check out these photos of Washington, D.C.'s, "snowmaggedon.") Whether this week or 20 years ago, collectively experiencing a meteorological Big Deal often leads to some great stories (assuming everyone comes out OK), not to mention the pleasant comraderie that seems to stem from pulling through together.

If there is a contradiction between something the Rambam wrote in the Mishneh Torah and his responsum letters, which is considered his final ruling? Is there a general rule or is it a case by case?
Take the 2-minute tour

Great question. It's a problem that is not limited to the Rambam, you can find the same phenomenon among other poskim. For example, the Maharil "contradicts" himself regarding when one removes shoes before the Ninth of Av. Does one take them off at home, or before Ma'ariv? That depends whether you read the responsa or the "Customs" (מנהגי מהרי"ל). See here: http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=8859&st=&pgnum=111 Here is a series of shiurim that covers the issue:

Cold weather played a part in the meltdown of a lithium ion battery that caused a Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner to make an emergency landing in Japan last year, the Japanese newspaper Asahi reported Friday, according to Reuters news agency.
The battery meltdown on the ANA Holdings Inc.-owned plane prompted authorities to ground the global fleet of Dreamliners for more than three months.
It followed an incident less than two weeks earlier at Boston Airport when a battery on a parked Japan Airlines 787 overheated and emitted white gases.
Low temperatures can cause a lithium ion battery to deteriorate, resulting in the risk of a short circuit, Kyodo News reported separately.
A Boeing spokesman declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation.
The Japan Transport Safety Board plans to release a final report on its findings as early as September, the Asahi report said. The newspaper based its report on conclusions of local investigators.
Boeing won approval for Dreamliner flights to resume in the spring of 2013 after it redesigned the battery compartment to isolate thermal events and vent hot gases outside the aircraft.
The Dreamliner is Boeing's state-of-the-art plane, built with carbon-fiber composite materials and a powerful electrical system to reduce weight and improve the jet's fuel efficiency.
Boeing makes parts for and assembles the 787 in North Charleston. It also assembles the Dreamliner in Everett, Wash., the hub of the Chicago-based aerospace company's airplane-making operations.

About Me
My name is Nicole and I'm expecting my second LO near the end of July. I tested positive on Thursday (11/15). The due date calculator pins the EDD to July 23rd, but we'll see what the doctor says at my first appointment (which I am planning to make on Monday)! I am married to Mark and we have a beautiful, smart, and sassy 22 month old daughter, Riley. We're hoping for another smooth pregnancy and for a healthy baby. We'd love a little brother for Riley, but would love her to have a little sister, too!
Week 4
I'm feeling pretty good still, but it is likely the calm before the morning sickness storm as I was sick with Riley from 6-16 weeks. Calling on Monday to make my first OB appointment!
Week 5
Called for an appointment and it looks like I won't be seeing the OB until I'm 10 weeks on 12/31. I'm still feeling pretty good, but am having hints of being light-headed and dizzy throughout the day--especially when I'm hungry.

I am amazed when I see competitors that price their carpet in so many different ways and methods. I think it is a wise thing to do if you are a consumer is to look at the final total price. Yesterday I heard on the radio in Cincinnati, Ohio……carpet installed for only $ 27.00. Another ad talked about their $ 97.00 whole house installation. I believe there are basically three ways for retail carpet dealers to price a carpet job.
1. Price each items that composes the job. Carpet, padding, installation, take up, haul off, move furniture and steps or additional custom work.
2. All inclusive price. This includes all of the above without a breakdown.
3. Then there are the dealers who sell you the carpet, pad and installation is $ 27, $ 97 or even FREE. Sounds to good to be true? Generally it is.
No carpet mechanic is going to come to your home with one room of carpet or a van full of your carpet and do all that work for $ 97.00. The store (usually box store, multi chain stores) use this method to capture the consumer. This is where you really need to know how much other stores are getting for pad and labor. Example…..two weeks ago I checked out a home center that was advertising the example #3. Their pad was .77 square foot. That comes out to $ 6.93 square yard. That same pad sells for $.33 to $ .44 cents per square yard. Using an average cost of $.39 sf that pad is $ 3.51 sq.yds. That's $ 3.42 sq yds less than the home center on the square yard. If you have 75 sq. yds. that's a $ 256 SAVINGS. Now that is just the beginning. The $ 97 install is a basic install price. No extras included. The old carpet take up at the same store was $.40 sf. Independents will usually charge $.11 to $.15 sf for the same service. That comes out to a $ 1.17 sq yd saving or $ 87.00 on 75 square yards. Steps at the home center were $ 7.00 per steps ( regular box steps). Wrap steps were $ 15 each and pie shaped steps were $22 each. Usually an independent dealer will charge around $ 8 – $ 10 for those type of steps. Transitions metals, seam tape and tack strip were all extra. Moving furniture was charged by the square foot. Haul off was extra.
Are you starting to get the point. That $ 97 is nothing compared to all the extras that you are being charged. As a matter of fact the $ 97 is like icing on the cake. Then I asked the clerk how I went about getting my job measured. They handed me a 11 page outline of the installation and wanted $ 45 to measure. If I decided to have them perform the job then I have to pay them up front in full for the complete job. And that's before the carpet is ordered and any installer comes to my home.
I left the store and sat in my car and began looking at the 11 page installation guidelines. I got through 5 pages and drove off. The next time I see my nephew (attorney), I am going to let him look at the agreement. They even charge to go up an elevator. Over the basic mileage to your home there is an extra charge.
I hope I didn't confuse you. Go with example # 1 or # 2. If you are shopping an independent dealer you will most likely find that they price their jobs using one of these examples and honest dealers generally will come out about the same total. Look for a dealer that has installers that have been with them for over 4 years or their own hourly installers. Another great piece of advice is to go to http://www.wfca.org/. There is a link to finding a World Floor Covering Association. Look for the store locator icon and type in your zip code. These dealers abide by a set of principles in selling floor covering.
Trust you got something out of this article. Here is some really great advice. Go to http://www.complaints.com and enter the name of a large box store that runs these kind of promotions. After you enter the name just hit enter. You will get a list of complaints about the name you entered. Do you have a question?

was very impressed with the whole process. We have purchased carpet
form a big box store in the past and NEVER got the service or pricing we
received from Home Based Carpet. From the initial meeting, the
selection available, the sale to the installation everyone we
encountered could have not been more professional or friendly. I had
already meet and knew exactly who was going to be in my house everyday
for the whole week before they showed up to install. The installers were
top notch - I enjoyed spending 5 whole days with them, they told me the
night before which rooms they would be working in the following day, so
I could plan accordingly. Help support the Small Business Owner, you

Top Stories Home Based Carpet & Flooring.....NEW UPDATE We recently finished a complete home carpet and flooring makeover in Mason, Ohio. We installed Earthwerks 4" x 36" long luxury vinyl plank flooring using pressure sensitive adhesive. The plank was installed in the entry, 2 baths, dining room and kitchen. The whole house carpet was a Mohawk stykle and the installation took 4 days with tear out, take up and all new 3/4" quarter round moulding. Below are the customer comments. Gary Hubbard Mason, OH 45040 Category: Carpet Sales/Installation Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring/Installation Services Performed: Yes Work Completed Date: November 04, 2013 Hire Again: Yes Approximate Cost: $8,800.00 Home Build Year: 1971 Description Of Work: The provider installed vinyl plank flooring in our kitchen, both bathrooms, our entranceway, and dining room. The remainder of the whole house was completely carpeted. Member Comments: The provider (Brandon & Scott) did an excellent job in installing all of our flooring. Their work was very high quality and they cleaned up everyday after theirselves. They also prepared all of our scrap so that I could just place everything out for the weekly garbage pickup.

Luxury Vinyl Tile & Plank Flooring...Popular In Cincinnati, Ohio
Top StoriesHome Based Carpet and Flooring,m LLC NEWS One of the fastest and hottest flooring products to come out in a long time is (LVT) luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring. The newest flooring resource comes mainly from recycled products and closely resembles wood flooring, hand crafted ceramic tile and slate and marble flooring. There are lots of manufactures who are marketing the new flooring, many are being made in China and shipped to the United States. One of the problems with manufacturing out of the country is the delivery of products. If a distributor runs out of stock of a certain item then they will have to wait for the ship to get here across the water. Most of the products from China ship in containers by ship. Wait times can be up to 2 months. I believe it is important to purchase luxury vinyl tile from dealers who have strong ties to the manufactures who are overseeing the research and design and manufacturing quality of such products. Standards in China are a bit different than in the United States and some companies do have their own overseers in foreign countries where these products are being manufactured. Beaulieu Industries recently came out with Bliss Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile Flooring under their Bliss Flooring name and they have their own people in China overseeing product development. Some manufactures are opening their own LVT (luxury vinyl tile) plants here in the US. Armstrong Flooring is building a new LVT plant in Lancaster, Pa. and it should be up and running sometime second quarter of 2015. Shaw Industries is taking their area rug plant in Ringgold, Georgia and converting it over to LVT.
Cost is around 100 million dollars.
We are selling LVT where hardwood flooring won't work. Basements with concrete floors and they are not totally level. The LVT will form with the level of the concrete to a great extent. A leveling compound would have to be installed to level the cement for wood flooring to be installed then engineered wood would have to be installed. Use of the engineered wood is necessary because it has the stability to go on or below grade.
We recently installed a new Earthwerks Wood Antique Plank floor in the Mason, Ohio area. The new product was installed in the kitchen (we coated the floor with embossing leveler) and put the new plank right over the vinyl. There was wall to wall carpet in the attached dining room. We tore out the carpet, built the floor up with 3/8" plywood to meet the same level as the kitchen and continued the plank flooring into the dining room. The customer liked the product so well that we installed it in 2 bathrooms and the main entry. LVT is really easy to take care of. Vacuum to get any grit and dust off the floor and use a neutral cleaning agent with water and a sponge mop. Using the correct PH cleanser will help keep cleaning streaks off the flooring. Also you can make your own floor cleaner. Mix 1 gallon of hot water with 1/4 cup of a pH-neutral liquid dish detergent in a bucket. Swish a mop in the solution to agitate the ingredients until suds form. Dish detergent is one of the most common pH-neutral cleaners, and works perfectly for floors. LVT sales at Home Based Carpet and Flooring in Cincinnati, Ohio have been going gangbusters for the last couple of years. Installation time, subfloor conditions and cost make LVT very practical. Wide widths are even available in LVT, not to mention the beautiful tile looks that are available. Make sure you have your new flooring installed by a CFI (Certified Flooring Installer).
I have listed below some links to manufactures who sell LVT flooring. You can go to their site and view their

New Earthwerks Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring and Bliss by Beaulieu Carpet Makeover
Top Stories Home Based Carpet and Flooring NEWS UPDATE Home Based Carpet & Flooring (a shop at home flooring solution) just finished installing almost 800 square feet of 4" x 36" x 1/8" thick luxury vinyl plank flooring in Lebanon, Ohio. We also installed nearly 275 square yards of Bliss by Beaulieu Legendary Beauty plush carpet. The plank flooring was installed in kitchen, long hall way to pantry, laundry room and dining room. A Portland based floor leveling compound was used to secure the sub floor and 4x8x1/4 birch plywood was used to build up the hall to meet the kitchen and dining room. The carpet was installed in 5 bedrooms on the second floor and 4 rooms on the first. The customer was a Angies List customer and was kind enough to send in a great report on us. I have enclosed the report below. visit us at httyp://www.cincinnatifloorings.com Member: Robert Bartizek LEBANON, OH 45036 Categories: Carpet Sales/Installation Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Sales/Installation Services Performed: Yes Work Completed Date: September 23, 2013 Hire Again: Yes Approximate Cost: $18,000.00 Home Build Year: 1993 Description Of Work: We have a large kitchen/breakfast nook area and a laundry room/family closet area that had vinyl flooring. The kitchen and laundry room/closet are connected by a long hallway which was carpeted. We replaced all of the flooring in these areas with a simulated wood product called vinyl plank. The rest of the house was re-carpeted. Member Comments: The entire experience was fantastic. After a phone conversation where we described basically what we wanted, Greg and Judy came to our home with several samples of carpet and flooring. Judy took detailed room measurements during this visit so that they could provide a pricing estimate (very reasonable). We narrowed the choices down to 2 flooring products from different companies and a carpet color that looked good. Since the samples are all fairly small, I asked Greg to get us a box of each flooring choice and a larger sample of carpet. When the flooring boxes came in, Greg and Brandon visited to talk about how each would be installed (installation differed for the two products) and helped lay the samples out so we could see how they would look. We waited several days to make the final choice. Meanwhile, Judy decided to get us doormat-sized samples of the carpet color we chose as well as one shade on either side of our choice. We were glad that she did that because we wound up choosing one of those alternate shades instead. The new hard floors came in around $7000 and carpet for 4 bedrooms, upstairs hall, stairs, living room, family room and study came in around $11000. Installation of the hard floors was done first. Removing the hallway carpet, adding a 1/4" plywood covering over the old subfloor, adding leveling compound to the old vinyl floor areas and installing the new flooring took 5 days. After giving us a few days to prepare for carpet work, they began that job. We needed to empty furniture drawers and bookshelves and also unplug and move electronic things like computers and TV's. They handled moving of all furniture. They did 2 bedrooms, the upstairs hallway and our family room on Day 1, the other 2 bedrooms and the study on Day 2 and the living room and dining room on Day 3. They cleaned up every day before they left. We received quality products at a fair price and installation by guys that really knew what they were doing. Brandon did a large part of the installation work and was here every day. I would recommend Home-Based Carpet to anyone. Overall A Price A Quality A Responsiveness A Punctuality A Professionalism A

Turning Baby Into Baby EinsteinDo educational products for babies really give babies an advantage? By Dulce Zamora
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario In any given day, 8-month-old Anthony Esposito can be found clapping his hands, dancing, and chiming in to tunes pealing from his collection of videotapes. The Staten Island, N.Y., infant is apparently a big fan of the Baby Einstein series, with titles like Baby Mozart, Baby Shakespeare, and Language Nursery making regular rounds in his family's VCR.
Across the country, in Alameda, Calif., 17-month-old Lauryn Nakamura seems to be equally riveted with her Baby Einstein products, says her mother, Lilybell. Not only does the toddler watch the Neighborhood Animals DVD, but she also responds to matching flash cards, eagerly identifying creatures and their sounds, as seen on the show. The Baby Einstein line of videos, DVDs, flash cards, software, books, CDs, and educational toys has captured the attention of many infant households. After two years under the Disney label, 27% of kids own at least one of the brand videos, according to a recent Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation survey of more than 1,000 parents. Yet Baby Einstein isn't the only product to have moved into the now-hot neighborhood of goods claiming to promote children's intellectual development. If browsing through toy store aisles and online baby sites is any indication, the amount of educational merchandise for kids -- especially for newborns to preschoolers -- has exploded in the last few years. This week alone, Amazon.com's top toy sellers include teaching materials such as the LeapStart Learning Table, Bake-A-Shape Sorter, Learning Drum, and Hug and Learn Baby Tad. Some of these may simply be souped-up variations of old gadgets or based on the latest technological wizardry. Nonetheless, today's electronic and educational gizmos and programs are getting a lot of kid and parent attention. The Kaiser survey found that children 6 months to 6 years spend an average of two hours a day with screen media, mostly watching TV and videos. The survey is supposedly the first to document media use by tots under age 2. "There was anecdotal evidence of the trend toward younger and younger kids using media, but there had not been any national documentation of it," says Vicky Rideout, vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation. "This was important to do because we know how critical these very early years are to children's development." Report Card on Smart Baby Goods Just how good are these educational products for infants and toddlers? It depends on the medium, say child development experts, giving mixed marks to anything from blocks to videotapes to kiddy laptops. "The toys can't hurt," says John Colombo, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., noting that researchers have found general stimulation to be good for the growth of young minds. "A child's best environment is going to involve both stimulation with materials -- personally, I prefer books -- and personal interaction with parents." Many, if not all, early childhood professionals advocate for parent involvement, which is why psychiatrist Michael Brody, MD, has a problem with videos, DVDs, and computers. "Parents, because they're busy, think they could have their kids watch TV, or sit on their laps with their own computers while they're working," says Brody, chairman of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry's committee on TV and media, adding that just because something is labeled "educational" doesn't mean that it is. The so-called educational media can, in fact, be more harmful, because they give parents a false sense of reassurance that their children are learning, says Brody. He explains that there has been no good scientific evidence of the value of smart baby products. His main protest, though, is with the electronic media, warning that it may provide too much stimulation for kids and may give them a head start in becoming addicted to the tube. The bottom line is that children need contact with the real world and with human beings, says Brody, giving a thumbs-up to baby dolls, blocks, stuffed animals, and toy trucks. "These give children a greater chance to develop their imagination and motor skills," he says. "They need to touch, experience, and listen." Physical interaction is so valuable for very young children that anything else -- such as structured games, flash cards, books, videotapes, and DVDs -- can hinder full development, says Stanley Greenspan, MD, author of Building Healthy Minds and a clinical professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at George Washington University Medical School in Washington, D.C. According to Greenspan, newborns to preschoolers need the following kinds of interaction with a caregiver to enhance their intellectual and emotional growth:
Educational toys and other media should be used to enhance these core experiences, says Greenspan. Structured games, information-oriented materials, and other "educational" products are OK to use as springboards for interaction, but relying solely on them could hamper broad development. "The games and toys are advertised as building intelligence, but, in fact, most of them just build narrow types of skills, such as memory -- like memorizing letters or sounds -- or some very narrow types of problem solving -- something mechanical and not the type of broad problem-solving these six experiences [mentioned above] promote," says Greenspan. The Baby Einstein web site says their products "expose your little ones to the world around them through the use of real world objects, music, art, language, science, poetry and nature. ... Our products provide fun and stimulating ways for parents and caregivers to interact and enrich their children's lives." Marketing to Parents and Babies Lois Liebowitz received the Baby Einstein videotapes as gifts for her daughter, Melissa. Although the 2-year-old appears to enjoy the shows, Liebowitz is unsure of their impact on her toddler. Given her doubts about the value of such educational media, Liebowitz ponders whether or not she would have bought the tapes on her own. "I probably would've been guilt-tripped into it," confesses the Manhattan, N.Y., resident. "There's this thing about wanting to give your kid every advantage, and since you're not sure if this really makes a difference, then you better do it in case it really does make a difference." The 45-year-old marketing executive says her fears about being a good first-time mother have especially made her more vulnerable. "From an advertising perspective, you're almost like a sitting duck," she says. Liebowitz is far from being the only parent to feel this way. The sentiment is so common that in a review of the Kaiser survey, an advocacy group called Stop the Commercial Exploitation of Children (SCEC), calls for helping "parents understand the harms associated with marketing to children and themselves." The editorial explains that babies who watch TV -- even PBS shows -- are exposed to thousands of marketing and commercial messages for things that aren't good for them, such as junk food, toys, and other products. To Liebowitz's credit, she limits Melissa's TV- and video-watching time to a maximum of 90 minutes per day and makes sure the 2-year-old gets lots of reading time, free play, and trips to places such as the zoo and museum.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of screen time for children who are older than 2 years old and no screen time at all for younger kids. The no-screen-time-rule may be tough for some parents to follow, given they may find time to do things such as prepare dinner or make phone calls while babies are engaged in educational toys or shows. Colombo says there's nothing wrong with moms and dads using some harmless merchandise to keep kids occupied for a short amount of time. "Parents need a break, too," he says, adding that caregivers who care about their kids' intellectual development are probably already doing many of the right things. He reminds parents that there is no equation for producing an exceptional child. As for the kids, they're usually good about telling their caregivers when they need a break from developmental toys and other media, says Leslie Cohen, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Texas in Austin. The child will often fuss, look away, act bored, or focus attention on other things. In this case, it is important to switch to other activities and not force him or her to be interested. "Babies are natural learners," says Cohen. "Let them be your guide." Published Nov. 12, 2003. |

Region: Southwest
Topic: Compost and Mulch, Planting, Transplants, Shade Tolerant, Trees
Title: Replacing mature Arizona Ash trees in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
Mr. Smarty Plants, I have 2 very large, very old Arizona Ash trees in my yard. I want to remove them and replace them with something like Cedar Elm or Chinquapin Oak. The problem is that they are the only thing providing my house and yard with shade, so I'm hesitant to remove them until I absolutely have to. Can I go ahead and plant the new trees this fall so that they can get some height before I have to remove the others? If yes, how close can I plant them to the old trees? (The old trees are really in the perfect spots in our small yard, so I want the new ones as close as possible.)ANSWER:
We have thought about this for several days and can come up with no good solution. The roots of your mature trees should be extending out two to three times the distance to the edge of the shadeline from the trunk. You say your yard is small and the existing trees are in the perfect spot, which is to say, the only spot for a large shade tree. We are also assuming that if you have any ornamental plants in that area, they need shade. We have seen examples of areas where a large tree was unexpectedly cut down or blown down by a storm, and all the shade plants beneath it suffered. If you try to dig holes to put in new trees near the old trees, you will damage the roots of the old trees, maybe even to the point of killing them. And you will be asking the delicate roots of the new tree to suddenly compete with the more established, and thirstier, old roots. That's kind of a lose-lose solution; you could end up with no trees at all.
According to this USDA Plant Profile, Fraxinus velutina (Arizona ash) does not even grow natively to Travis County. As its name implies, it is more a desert plant, but with our current weather conditions your trees are likely feeling right at home. The Arizona Ash is often victim to borers and verticillium wilt, resulting in being somewhat short-lived.
However, if the trees do not seem to be in imminent danger of dying, we would suggest you hold onto them as long as feasible. In the meantime, if you do, indeed, have shade-loving understory plants, we would recommend transplanting them during the Fall and early Spring to other shady spots, or accepting that you will likely lose them. If you decide to go ahead and take out the old trees, that could be done now or in the Fall but you need to then do extensive preparation for the new trees which should be planted in January, when they are more dormant.
This extensive preparation should include the engaging of professional arborists who can get the trees down without undue damage to your house or other plants. Next, have the ash roots ground out, for at least as far out as your arborist estimates the hole for the new trees will need to be. While you will probably want to have any large root pieces removed, the ground remnants will serve as a good compost in the soil, and help improve drainage, always an essential in our alkaline clay soil. We again advise that you take the advice of the arborist on preparation of the soil and size of the hole.
Now, about the new trees, whenever you plant them. Again, plant in the Winter, and do not buy the trees until you are ready to plant. There are always sales on trees in late Summer or early Fall, but they have likely already been out of the ground and in a pot for months, and will have to wait there more months for the appropriate planting time. This often results in roots growing round and round in the pot, which can strangle the tree. We looked at our webpage on both the trees you mentioned as replacements; follow the links to read more information on each tree.
Ulmus crassifolia (Cedar elm) - nicely proportioned, drought tolerant
Quercus muehlenbergii (Chinkapin oak) - relatively fast growing and free of diseases and pests

This is my signature so believe me, I know this fragrance well. Perhaps it was just an old tester but when I got it in the mail it had a flat, musty smell, unlike any other Radiance I have ever owned. :( However, I also purchased a tester of Curious by Britney from this place and it smelled fine.

Panthers fall to Bibb Co.
Published 1:11am Saturday, March 31, 2012The Southside Panthers couldn't get it going against one of the state's best, as they fell 11-0 to the No. 5 Bibb County Choctaws Friday at Bloch Park in an area game.
John Solomon, head coach of the Panthers (1-4, 0-2), said Southside lost to a good team, but he saw some improvement from his young players.
"We played a real good team. They hit the ball really well," Solomon said. "We're getting better, though. We didn't have any errors this game. We just walked too many people. Other than that, I think we played a good ball game."
The Choctaws (18-8, ranked No. 5 in Class 4A) got going right from the beginning, scoring four runs in the top of the first including an RBI double by Jobe Watkins.
Southside couldn't produce on offense, but Bibb County added to its total in the top of the third, as the Choctaws knocked in two runs and watched the Panthers walk in one with the bases loaded and another on a wild pitch to make it an 8-0 game after three.
The Choctaws added two more runs in the top of the fourth — one on a sac fly and another on a bases-loaded walk — to push their lead to 10-0.
Bibb County added one more run in the top of the fifth inning.
Jhalandius Sullivan had a hit for Southside, while Brandon Oliver and Chris Raymond also had hits for the Panthers.
Solomon said his team, which is made up mostly of underclassmen as well as a few eighth graders, is improving on the basics with each game it plays.
"They're' getting better with the baseball knowhow, they know where to go, they know what to do with the ball when they have it," Solomon said. "Also, with the batting, they're doing much better. They're more aggressive, which I like. I'd rather them go down swinging than looking."
The Panthers will take the field again, Tuesday, April 3 when they'll play the Jemison Panthers at Bloch Park in an area game starting at 5 p.m.
