Great location. You can get everywhere in Copenhagen city on foot, e.g. Nyhavn and Tivoli are located in 15 minutes of walk, Rosenborg Slot is in 10 minutes of walk. Spectacular view on the lakes in front of hotel. Excellent breakfast with fresh fruits. The nearest station Norreport allows to get to any part of Denmark by train and by metro to CPH Airport.
Great hotel, I was over in Denmark on business and decided Friday to head to Copenhagen for the weekend. Great value for money and ideal just on the main route into the city (about a 15 minute walk).
My wife and I spent 5 nights at Hilton next to Kastrup while in Denmark, where we have visited many times before. We also stayed at all 3 Hiltons in Helsinki, including one at Ventaa airport. Hilton Copenhagen is special because it is such an easy walk to terminal 3 and because both the Metro and Train Station are right there at airport. The hotel is also near the water, so on one side there are lovely sea views from the higher floors. It is almost new and very nice.
We liked everything. I am from Denmark and have never stayed at a better place in Copenhagen. Superior location, huge and clean rooms with clean kitchen and washrooms. Even a bathtub. The family room is the biggest hotel room I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in hundreds of room all over the world. Even a $5,000 B&O TV in the room.!! Staff is super friendly too...
The staff is incredibly kind and polite. The location is very good to explore copenhagen. The price I paid was fairly good considering copenhagen's prices. Of course this is not a 5 stars hotel, so the way I rated this hotel is according to what I paied for it. For me, it's a good value for money.

DEERFIELD, Ill., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- A study, published online in the journal Current Medical Research and Opinion, showed that a greater percentage of patients with type 2 diabetes treated with the fixed-dose combination ACTOplus met® (pioglitazone HCl and metformin HCl) as initial therapy reached the study goal of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of less than or equal to 7 percent compared to either component alone. Safety and tolerability of ACTOplus met therapy were evaluated by rate of drug discontinuation and treatment-emergent adverse events.
"Diabetes is a progressive and chronic condition, which requires continued monitoring by a patient and physician. In addition to diet and exercise, patients often need to take multiple medications to help them manage their glucose control," said Robert Spanheimer, M.D., vice president of medical and scientific affairs, Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. "We are pleased to see that this study was successful in meeting its intended endpoints. A greater number of patients reached the blood sugar target of less than 7 percent, as recommended by the American Diabetes Association, using combination therapy as initial treatment compared with either single treatment alone."
Upon completion of the study, all treatment groups achieved statistically significant HbA1c reductions (p<0.001) from a baseline HbA1c of 8.7, and the greatest decrease was observed in patients treated with ACTOplus met (15 mg/850 mg twice daily) (-1.83 percent versus 0.99 percent and 0.96 percent with ACTOS® (pioglitazone HCl) (15 mg twice daily) or metformin (850 mg twice daily), respectively). The endpoint responder rates were higher in the ACTOplus met group, with 64 percent of patients reaching HbA1c goal of less than or equal to 7 percent compared to ACTOS (46 percent) or metformin (39 percent) alone.
The overall treatment-emergent adverse events were 50.7 perc

Technology can Serve Millions
Posted on September 10, 2012
Sandeep Aneja,
Managing Director, Kaizen Private Equity
The huge information gap between the employers and students needs to be bridged
Education is revolutionising very fast. We have achieved a lot, and we can achieve even more by embracing technology in education. It is understood that most people don't understand technology or don't have access to it. However, the growth in companies in India that provide test, tutoring and other online services is mindboggling to us as investors.
India can not only catch up with the Western world, it can even beat the advanced countries in the digital space. For instance, there is a company called Coursera in which Stanford Professors have uploaded a lot of their courses online and made them entirely free. Hundreds and thousands of students signed up. If you take the same course in a normal brick and mortar university, it will take you decades to serve that many students. With digital technology, you can serve a hundred thousand students in a matter of hours.
An online course like that of Coursera allows one to not only test the attitude of a student, but also test their analytical ability by monitoring the pace at which one is learning.
About a million students pass out from engineering colleges and IITs each year. 85 percent of them wait for 9 to 10 months to bag a job. On the other hand, employers are also in search for employable talent. There are jobs. There are people. But there is huge information gap between employers and students. This gap needs to be bridged as soon as possible.
It is time for us to embrace the global digital revolution in education and catch up with the rest of the world. And India has a chance to not only catch up, but also beat the world in that space. We have to take the digital path, because India cannot afford to build enough brick and mortar institutions.

Here's a phenomenon that started in the 12 Century, faded into the fringe, and then had a resurgence in popularity in 2007, and again in 2008.
The neti pot or "nose bidet" is essentially a kettle used for flushing saline water through one's nose to clean and sanitize the nasal passages; typically to fight sinus infection.
The main cause for the boost in popularity is apparently due to an endorsement by Oprah, as can be seen here:
Now it's no secret that Oprah weilds an exceptional amount of influence over her audience (mostly women 35-50+) so I wouldn't call Oprah's endorsement of a commerically available product a meme.
But due to the comic nature of someone using a Neti Pot, Oprah (or possibly the loyal women who watch her show) inspired many to post videos to Youtube of themselves using Neti Pots to comic effect. Many of those who created videos are already popular Youtube personalities, so it's possible that the decision to make neti pot videos was an educated assessment of the possible traffic flow generated.
And my favorite: Drew (creator of toothpaste for dinner webcomic)
Now, being that the populariy of the Neti Pot is due to Oprah (she could probably endorse bamboo shoots under the fingernails and people would try it) I wouldn't call this an internet meme.
So I'm not going to make an entry for this, but I figured I would share it anyway, here in the forums, to illustrate how a group of videos can be funny but be influenced by factors outside of the internet.
PS: Don't put things in your nose

Got a question. Is it ok to alternate temperatures when germinating passion flower seeds? i use a heat pad,and keep day time temps at about 85F. then i turn the heat pad off at night ,and keep the room at about 70F at night. Would that hurt germination?
I actually did that last year with a bunch of passies. Due to lack of space, I had passies germinating in the same little greenhouse unit with some bananas. Bananas you are supposed to alternate temps. It worked great for the passies too I discovered, and I always do them that way now :) Just watch the soil surface for mold (like if it was staying too cold and wet, but 70 doesnt seem all that cold to me) I also had a grow light on these as well during germination, so it may have got a little heat from above too. Let us know how it goes for you.
Hey whadda ya know:
I ran across this article tonight so I had to repost lol. It seems that J. Vanderplank recommends sandpapering seeds lightly, soaking them, and then cycling temps ( between 68F and 86F)for faster germination! Here's the article (scroll down a little to read about seed sowing.
Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora germination

Elegant set
I was surprised at the quality of the set. It is extremely sturdy and substansive. The seat width is super, allowing men plenty of room.

Best Purchase online ever
We must have shopped around for this table for 3 months. We knew what we wanted but could not find the price.

The apron is thick and the finish is right on. We are so pleased with this item.Read More
Fabulous little table
My little table arrived today in 2 boxes with all pieces and totally undamaged. Within 10 minutes, it was all together and sitting pretty in my dining room. We have a very small dining room and this table fits perfectly: big enough to seat 4, but small enough to fit a tiny room. My biggest fear before ordering this was that it would be unstable and cheap looking. The quality is really nice for the cost. It's all solid wood, without many pieces to jiggle loose or break. Seems like it's super sturdy too (which is important for a pedestal table). The "antique white" has a bit more yellow than I'd imagined- almost a very pastel, creamy yellow- but it still looks great. The finish of the table top looks like it might scratch easy so I'd like to get a glass piece to protect it. I can't verify this though as I've only had it a few hours. I think I'll also pair it with some cute parsons chairs for a fun, whimsy look.Read More

Shopping Guides
Choosing Dining Tables
Choosing from among the many different types of dining tables can be a fun and thrilling shopping experience. There's a perfect dining table for your room whether you're redecorating your dining room or furnishing your new home. Just like any other piece of furniture, there are certain characteristics you'll need to be aware of when purchasing a dining table. If you're well informed, you'll pick the perfect table the first time around. Here is a list of tips to remember when choosing dining tables.
Best Table Shape for the Kitchen or Dining Room
A kitchen or dining room table is often the centerpiece of the room. Chances are you are going to have the same table for many years, so when you are picking out the right table for your room, you are going to want to find a perfect fit. Most tables come in a few main shapes, so be sure to choose the one that is perfect for your family and kitchen or dining room over a long period of time.
Popular Styles of Dining Tables
Dining rooms are only as good as the dining tables used to decorate them. It doesn't matter if you're completely remodeling or you merely want to upgrade your dining area; dining tables are one of the most important pieces of furniture for your kitchen or dining room. Your dining room is more than just a place to eat. It's a place where wonderful memories are made, whether with friends or family, during weekly dinners or over the holidays. Investing in a dining table set instantly upgrades the atmosphere and appearance of your dining room. However, you need to know what kind of dining room table to purchase in order to show off your house at its fullest potential. Not all dining tables fit all styles. Keep reading to find out which are the most popular styles of dining tables so you can pick the one that best fits your personality and your home's decor.
FAQs about Butterfly Leaf Tables
Also known as expandable tables, butterfly leaf tables are a helpful solution for solving space problems in a small dining room. Traditional dining room tables take up more space, and not everyone has that kind of space. Rather than settling for a smaller table that can't accommodate guests on special occasions, you can use a table that can be extended to allow for more seating when you need it. Here are the answers some of the most frequently asked questions about butterfly leaf tables.
How to Set Round Dining Tables
If you are planning a formal dinner or a holiday party, setting one or more round dining tables is a smart way to design your occasion. With round dining tables, everyone can see each other and socialize easily. When setting round dining tables with formal dinnerware, there are few simple rules of dining etiquette to follow to make sure everyone gets their proper tableware. If you are throwing a formal dinner or holiday party, a well-set table creates a formal ambiance or a festive vibe for your guests to enjoy.
How to Get Sticky Spills off of Dining Room Tables
The last thing you want on dining room tables is a sticky spill. Not only is sticky residue unsightly on dining room tables, it can also brush up against your clothes, stick to plates or other items and just be a general hassle. Don't tolerate sticky messes on your dining table. In fact, the sooner you clean it up, the easier the process will be. Plus, leaving messes too long can damage the surface or appearance of your kitchen table. Chances are you'll want your dining set to last as long as possible. Here are a few tips to cleaning up sticky residue and keeping your dining table set in prime condition.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.
Top 5 Drop-leaf Table Styles for Small Spaces
When space is scarce, a drop-leaf dining table is an efficient solution for seating guests. If you frequently entertain but your kitchen or dining room is small, then this is the perfect table for you. Drop-leaf tables come in many different styles, each of which is compact and functional in addition to being beautiful. Here are the top five types to consider when you are shopping for a drop-leaf dining table.
How to Decorate Your Dining Room with Round Area Rugs
Add color and warmth to your dining room by laying area rugs atop hardwood or tiled floors. Round area rugs are a perfect fit for dining rooms with circular tables. Whether it's the main dining table, a decorative accessory table or simply a floor lamp with a spherical lamp shade, round area rugs are the perfect accent piece. They can also be used to freshen the look of worn or stained carpet in a well-used dining room.
Dining Tables Buying Guide
Selecting a dining table seems simple enough, but since it gets a great deal of use, you want to make sure you choose the right one. Your dining room table can serve as a daily meeting place for family, the place where loved ones gather to celebrate holidays and milestones, or a staging area for big projects; all that adds up to one significant piece of furniture. To find your ideal dining room table, consider these features: size, capacity, shape, and style.
Bistro Tables for Outdoor Dining
Sharing a meal with family or friends outdoors is a refreshing change from sitting around the dining room table. Bistro tables add elegance and charm to any outdoor patio, balcony, porch or garden area when entertaining. When set for two, a cozy bistro set encourages conversation in close proximity. Whether you're sharing a meal with an intimate date or having brunch with a few friends, bistro tables make the experience quaint and enjoyable.
How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.
How to Remove Scratches from a Wooden Table
Scratches on wooden dining tables not only present an unsightly appearance; they leave the wood unprotected and open to staining and moisture. Scratches can be slight or deep, and removing each type requires a different method of repair. The finish of your wooden table also plays a part in how to remove the scratches, especially if the scratch is deep.
How to Measure for a Dining Table
A beautiful dining table is not only the centerpiece of any dining room; it is often the heart of the home as well. Many people choose the largest dining table they can, but it's important to ensure that you have adequate space not only for the table but also for the chairs and the people who will be sitting in them. Measuring your dining area for a perfect fit isn't complicated and will guarantee a comfortable dining experience for years to come.
How to Set a Dining Table
The ability to set a proper dining table is a vanishing art. It's often a miracle if the dinnerware gets used at all on a busy schedule, but it doesn't have to be that way: Learning how to set a dining table is easy and can be done in short order. By following this simple process, you will impress dinner guests with a classy and personalized dining table. Note that these instructions detail how to complete one proper setting. Simply repeat the process for each setting needed.
Tips on Dining Table Settings
A well-set dining table is nearly as crucial to a great meal as the food. Don't underestimate the importance of your formal table setting; properly prepared dining table sets enhance the leisurely enjoyment of a meal, while a sloppily prepared dinner table can diminish the appeal. Read on for a variety of helpful table setting ideas and tips on creating dining table settings.
How to Choose a Dining Table
For most families, the dining table is the heart of the home. Whether it's a place to gather with your children for casual dinners or a formal table at which you and your spouse host elaborate dinner parties, the dining table is an important and substantial piece of furniture. In many families, the dining room table has been well taken care of and handed down from generation to generation. Carefully consider how and where you will be using your table before you choose to purchase one.
How to Decorate a Dining Room Table
For most people, the days are gone where you reserve the dining room table for special occasions like Thanksgiving dinner. The dining table once stayed in a room of its own, closed off from the rest of the house. These days, the dining table serves as an essential focal point in many homes, particularly those with open floor plans that afford views of the dining area from the living room, kitchen or entryway. Keep your look fresh and sophisticated by decorating your dining room table with functional and stylish pieces.
How to Set a Dining Table for 12
Hosting a dinner party is a lot of fun, whether you are just having friends over for a small celebration or family over to share a holiday meal. You likely already own most of the dinnerware, glasses and kitchen linens you need, and setting a dining table is a golden opportunity to use your fine kitchen linens and formal dinnerware that may have been collecting dust in your closet. While setting a table for 12 can be a bit intimidating, it is not a difficult or lengthy process, and your guests will be impressed by your hosting talents and knowledge of conventional etiquette.
FAQs about Dining Table Chairs
Choosing the right dining table chairs can make or break the look of your dining room. If you've already chosen a table, and most people have by the time they're looking for chairs, then you know that dining room and bar furniture is available in a stunning array of choices. Before purchasing dining table chairs, ask yourself some key questions so you're sure to get the furniture that's right for you.

shoop da woop v2
hey back at you,
this is interesting from start to end,
however i feel like the high melody is getting a bit weird.. after some time
bc its too long in there.
member this is dubstep,
sudden changes may happen, with flawless mixing
just a matter of taste and choices.
1:53 is a but bumpy tho,.. looks like it distords for a short time.(tip)
kay this conversation is over now.
Yah I should look out for that repeating melody, it's so tempting to just keep it and not bother switching it up. I had another part inside the song but I cut it out so it is a little more repetitive now. The distortion at 1:53 I actually love lol, I thought it sounded pretty cool. Thanks for the review
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Much better <3
I'm really glad you listened. its soo much better :D
i'll be looking forward to your next songs. great job on this one :D
Thanks mate! I always love advice :)

all day hot sun; sandy/rocky soil; weeds
I live in a rural area. I have an area (approx 400 sq ft) at the end of my driveway that has clay hardpan with sandy/rocky soil beneath and is sloped so it is facing south, so it gets full sun all day long and the soil is often very dry. I do not weed or water this area.
I am seeking suggestions for perennials that:
a) can stand the heat, full sun, and poor soil
b) can compete with the weeds
c) I can easily tranport and plant by myself
d) don't require any pampering once established, and
e) preferably have flowers or interesting foliage
I have $400 in vouchers from the power company for trees they cut down in my yard; I am looking to spend these vouchers at the local nursery for potted perennials.
Here is a partial list of plants that are presently there and thriving: Rose of Sharon, Burning Bush, Honeysuckle, CrabApple, Black Cherry, Maple, Phlox, orange Butterfly Milkweed, Peppermint.
Here's a partial list of transplant attempts which have failed: Yucca, Iris, Hosta, Sedum.
This post was edited by tenacre on Fri, Jul 18, 14 at 10:50
Hmm, I was going to suggest sedum, but it seemed like you wanted something bigger. And then I see that you tried it! I'm surprised this did not work for you, as i have a similar situation to yours and sedum is working for me. My soil is not clay, though, so perhaps that is the difference. Hopefully someone will make a good recommendation for you.
Good luck!
I haven't checked hardiness for your zone, but how about nepeta Walkers Low? It's growing on my west-facing hillside on poor soil in desert heat. I watered it every few days after I put it in, but many in my area don't supplement once the plant is established.
Other suggestions - achilleas are very tough, drought-tolerant plants. Moonshine is a popular cultivar. I have Moonshine, Paprika and plain white a. millefolium on my hill.
Ornamental grasses can take a lot of abuse. I'm not sure about hardiness, but look at pennisetum cultivars. I have Hameln and Karley Rose and p. orientale species.
Other plants which grow under harsh conditions here probably aren't hardy enough for your area - agastaches, penstemons, desert salvias (s. greggii, s. pachyphylla, s.trident, s. darcyi). If any are cold hardy, they should do well in heat and poor soil.
Perovskia, Russian Sage is what I grow in my driest, sandy area. I'm not familiar with clay hardpan and how that impacts this suggestion, but they like sandy, rocky soil just fine. Nice, silvery foliage once it gets going and then purple flowers when it's hot and dry out there. Bees love it, too.
In my garden, blue salvia grows like a weed,( though my climate is very different;I'm here in Tuscany...) I'd also think that stuff like gypsophilia (baby's breath),aquileigia (colombine)...any of those tap-rooted things would do well.Also, the aromatics, but there again, not sure about cold-hardiness...bart

Veggie Seedlings
I have several dozen veggie seedlings (summer squash, peppers, beans, eggplant, lettuce, etc) started in propagation trays I ordered from Gardeners Supply. The trays are on my east facing bay window shelf where they get morning sun. Most of the seeds have germinated but many of them, escially the lettuce, chard and beans, are very leggy and floppy. I'm pretty sure it's still too early to put them into the ground. Is there any way at this point to turn them around into more sturdy seedlings?
The legginess is most likely due to insufficient light. If you can add some flourescent light 24/7 it will help. Even if you transplant them up from the trays to potting soil. Since your plants, especially the tomatoes and peppers, are just starting, they will not be hardened off enough to go in the ground just yet, imho. The lettuce may be ok, I've not grown that yet but do think folks direct seed throughout the winter months. Toms and peppers want the soil to be at least 45°.

Gaming Commission to decide fate of harbor casino
Published: December 27,2013
Tags: casino, City of Gulfport, gambling, gaming, Gulfport Harbor, Mississippi Gaming Commission, Rotate Black
GULFPORT — The Mississippi Gaming Commission is scheduled to meet in Gulfport on Dec. 30 to decide whether developers can build a casino at the Gulfport harbor.
The commission will meet at city hall.
Rotate Black is the group proposing a $112-million casino resort on private property next to Jones Park. The Sun Herald reports the project stalled earlier this year as the company sought to raise money.
Developers have until New Year's Eve to prove they have funding and get Gaming Commission approval to proceed. Otherwise, regulations will change Jan. 1 and backers will have to add more features before they can build.
The Gaming Commission adopted new regulations early this year that call for more extensive and expensive resorts. The new regulations set numbers and requirements for quality of hotel rooms and require other amenities that will bring more visitors to the casinos.
Developers who already have site approval were given until Dec. 31 to submit design and financial plans under the previous regulations. The new amenities are meant to entice people from outside the state to travel to Mississippi's casinos, officials have said, expanding the number of gamblers.
Rotate Black's approved plans for the $112 million resort call for a 205-room luxury hotel operated by Hemingway Hotel and Resorts and based on the life of author Ernest Hemingway, a 35,000-square-foot casino, a 4,000-square-foot swimming pool with cabanas and a swim-up bar, plus three restaurants and decks overlooking the water.

Why would anybody want to build a tourist venue (let alone one with higher amenities, after Jan. 1) when they will be sitting right next to a 52 foot deep port (dredged by the Corps of Engineers) with multiple high speed rail lines and several feeder highways for semi-trucks? This place is going to sound and smell awful! Have they been listening to goober and ex-goober Haley? Are they deaf and dumb? This place is going to be a high traffic "transportation hub," if it takes every dollar of MS's BP settlement.

The following open letter from the trustees at the Halton District School Board was submitted to the Post for publication.
The trustees of the Halton District School Board wish to publicly express their disappointment and dissatisfaction with the way in which this latest round of labour negotiations has been managed by the Ontario government. We regret students and families have been negatively impacted by the political unrest and we look forward to returning to our focus on education.
The recent decision to close, and the subsequent decision to re-open, our elementary schools to students on Friday, Jan. 11 was difficult and confusing for parents, staff and our community. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time of unprecedented uncertainty. We anticipate ETFO (Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario) will continue to direct its members (teachers) to abide by the latest ruling of the Labour Relations Board of Ontario.
We understand that the previously announced day of protest by secondary teachers on Wednesday, Jan. 16 had been cancelled by their union (OSSTF) as a result of the decision. It is our sincere hope that teachers will refrain from further actions that negatively impact students. It is time to return to the enriching program offered to our students, including the provision of extra-curricular activities.
This unrest and anxiety has resulted from the dissatisfaction with the provincial government's management of contract negotiations and the enactment of Bill 115 (also referred to as The Putting Students First Act) by both ETFO and OSSTF (Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation). The Putting Students First Act has little to do with students. It is a directive that binds local school boards to a contract that could increase operational costs to individual boards of education and take away professional development opportunities for teachers. Bill 115 enables the government to impose terms as they deem appropriate and has removed the ability of boards of education across Ontario to negotiate local terms with teacher unions that make a difference to the students in our classrooms.
The majority of Ontario school boards of trustees across the province have not been involved in any of these most recent negotiations, contracts or decisions even though the boards as employers are officially a party to negotiations and collective agreements.
Most recently the ministry negotiated with CUPE and our board was not even aware that the negotiations were taking place.
We encourage parents to familiarize themselves with Bill 115 and to review the recent change to the Education Act specifically Regulation 274/12 which has altered boards' hiring practices. Regulation 274/12 emphasizes seniority, not suitability for the appointments to teaching positions. Research has shown that the classroom teacher has the greatest impact on a student's success, and so a school board's ability to hire the most qualified person should not be impeded. This piece has not received much media attention but is deeply concerning to us as employers and limits our ability to hire the best person for the job of educating our students.
We know how important extra-curricular activities are to our students. At this time we do not know when extra-curricular activities will resume but we continue to work with our teachers and trust that the excellent relationships between all stakeholders will be preserved.
The Halton District School Board of Trustees continues to work on improved communication processes. Please feel free to contact us with your suggestions.

Tone Down the
Don't just stop talking to your besties all of a sudden or
completely ignore all of their calls and texts. But it is a good idea to
communicate a li'l less each day, so you can slip off their radar. Instead of
running to your old pals the next time you need advice or wanna chat about your
day, text a new friend that you'd like to get closer with. If your old friends
call or text you, it's totally okay to respond, of course. Just don't go out of
your way to keep up a convo with them 24/7.
Get Busy
When you realize that your friends aren't a good influence,
it's time to stop hangin' with them. If they call and invite you to go
somewhere, tell them you're busy. Or you can always say that your mom won't let
you go – she probably won't mind playing the bad guy, if it means you can focus
on making healthier friendships. After a while, your old pals will notice that
you're not making an effort to spend time with them, and they'll most likely
stop inviting you.
Stay Sweet
The most important thing when you're trying to break free
from friends is that you're still polite to them. The last thing you want is a
huge fight that ends in glares following you through the hallways at school. So
talk to your old pals if they approach you, and go hang with them once in a
long while if they still really want you to. And definitely do NOT talk badly
about them behind their backs. No matter what it was that made you decide they
weren't the right crew for you, that is between you and them. Don't involve
your new friends in any old drama, and do your best to just start fresh.
Hopefully your old pals will take the hint that you're not super-thrilled to
hang with them anymore, and they'll let you go quietly on your way.

The taxi light is recognizable in great cities around the world, and now designer Guilhem de Castelbajac has immortalized the iconic item with his series of repurposed LED lamps, "Off Duty No More." Made from an international array of recycled cab-toppers, the lamps caught our eye at this year's ICFF.
Each of the lamps have been sourced from iconic, retired cabs of New York, Paris and other cities. As the taxis of each city become updated, these signs are left for the junkyard.
Off Duty No More's lamps repurpose these discarded vintage plastic fixtures, and retrofit them with energy efficient LED lights. Each lamp has eight different settings, and sits on a metal base which echoes the automobiles they were once perched on. Because each sign is different, each lamp is unique and numbered in limited editions.
Off Duty No More's iconic taxi lamps give new life to the ill-fated taxi sign, and give owners a little retribution for each taxi who has blown them off in the past.

> Laying the groundwork with relatives...
Our little one is nearly 12 months, and we are starting Waldorf infant/parent classes. So far, so good, we're feeling like this approach is a really good fit for us. We may choose Waldorf education for the long-haul.
Does anyone have any advice on laying the groundwork with relatives to introduce them (and hopefully help them become supportive) about Waldorf? All the grandparents live far away, but on a recent visit to my MIL, I handed her the info packet we got at our school tour, which included lots of introductory stuff about Waldorf education. I know she read it, but she didn't comment. My goal was to begin getting her interested so that we could hopefully have some meaningful conversations about things like toys, food, natural products, etc. I am hoping that the more she knows, the more likely it is that she will be supportive. (And hopefully stop sending all those plastic toys!)
Has anyone tried this approach with any success? Any tools (books, movies, etc. to recommend?) Any ideas are appreciated!
I'd suggest creating a family blog. If I was to do it over again I would have started one right when we got started. You could make posts about what you learn and experience so that family members could read about your life, on their own terms, and hopefully grow to have an appreciation towards your lifestyle choices. And if you are worried about plastic toys, I imagine it would be easy to annouce your preference for natural toys, and opposition towards educational electronic toys without offending anyone. Links to your favorite books, websites and information could be easily accessed and would surely be clicked by family members without you having to preach.
I don't think it's my place to educate my family on this lifestyle path we are headed on, that could very well change at any time. Really, waldorf has opened my eyes and make me want to be a better parent, what I've taken so far has really little to do with education and "things", and more about parenting choices and purposful living. My mom is the only one who somewhat understands what we are striving for, but she pushes her limits and if she really knew more about waldorf she'd pinn it a cult.
I tried initially to educate family, mostly in regards to toys since that's really the only issue that has come up but sometimes I wonder if it was worth it. Last christmas we actually recieved wood toys, they were melissa and doug, but at least I know they heard us, and and bought what was accessible to them.
We live in a very mainstream world, and I don't think most people want to embrace the other side, and choose to live a more slow paced, simple life. But you can show them how happy you are with pictures and words and it could very well lead to your family getting inspired and accepting your prefences.
I think you are overthinking this. Most of us would have a long row to hoe if we tried to get our parents on board with every parenting decision. And your son is only a year; you have no idea if you will do Waldorf long-term, or not.
It sounds as if by "being supportive" you basically mean you would like your family to give you certain types of toys and not others. This is situation many of us face, not just parents with kids in Waldorf schools. In my experience, you can nicely state a preference for wooden toys etc. once or twice. And then you have to sit back and accept the fact that it's up to the giver to give what they want and up to the receiver to be grateful for the thought and bring it to Goodwill if they don't want it.
Don't get me wrong: I think it's fine to share your enthusiasm about the type of education you are planning for your son. But especially for grandparents who live far away, I think it's a bit much to ask them to do more than be happy for you that you've found something you like. Prosyletising them (which is what it sounds like it would be with the books and movies) is not necessary.
Of course, if they specifically ask for more information, you can certainly provide it.
BTW, this is coming from someone who was raised in a very Waldorf style and went to a WS for years, and whose grandparents kept right on with the "inappropriate" (and majorly fun) toys. I've always been grateful to my parents for allowing us that taste of life on the other side of the fence, where kids got to play with Lite Brites, etc.
man, i haven't thought of a lite-brite in years.
oh, and i am looking at starting a family blog just so that we have a place for everything that we do. of course, i need another activity like i need . . .whatever. . .but i'll probably do one anyway.

Hawk in my yard
CaitlynLMay 2, 2013
So recently A hawk has built a nest in my front yard, along with its little babies who are adorable. I didn't mind this.. until now. I can't even go into my house without being cautious, because the Hawks keep trying to swoop down and grab my head.They have succeeded once so far. I'm sure they are just trying to protect their little chicks, But It's quite annoying and frightening when I have to run into my own house. Any advice on what I should do?
train it to guard your home while you are not at home! This will be better than any security system!

The scraper bar is located on the bottom of the auger housing. Its purpose is to remove the last bit of snow from the surface you're clearing.
If your scraper bar is cracked, broken, or worn, it's time for a replacement.
Remove the bolts that attach the scraper bar to the auger housing.
Remove the damaged or worn scraper bar from the auger housing.
Attach the new scraper bar and reinstall the bolts onto the auger housing. The scraper bar can be adjusted slightly (higher or lower) on the auger housing to contact more or less of the surface. Lowering the scraper bar will allow you to dig deeper into hard-packed snow.
Before you start the snow blower, make sure the augers are not in contact with the ground.
The scraper bar is a wear item. If you frequently use your snow blower, regularly check the scraper bar for damage and excessive wear.
Jack's Safety Tips: Before servicing or repairing any power equipment, disconnect the spark plug and battery cables. Remember to wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves to protect against harmful chemicals and debris. View our Disclaimer.

Palm tree farm/nursery south carolina?
Does anyone know a good Palm tree farm with good prices somewhere on east coast of south carolina (preferrably) Sabal Palmettos, Pindos, Chusan WIndmill, maybe some phoenix palms or yuccas... large up to 12' . I searched and found 3 that seemed ok... far sout near ggeorgia. if anyone knows or has experience please let me know thanks -Justin in VB
thats quite a coincidence i just bought a a sabal palm today 8 feet trunk with 4 ft fronds.For $115 any size! local places around here sale there sabals for 200 to 300.the place is call (MY YARD CENTER) they got everything from pindos to washingtonia,sabals,windmills,canarys,etc. 119 hwy east Longs,SC 29568 you can google on streets view.I can give you the number if you like.
Try Gary's Nursery in New Bern, NC
He has many types, small and large. Very knowledgeable about growing palms in cold places.
I saw good ones selling tall sabals, pindos, trackys etc around Kitty Hawk, NC and Roanoke Island, NC. Sorry forgot the names. People in those areas can point them out when you ask around if visiting that area.
I also Heard Gary's is good too. He's located right on the sabal palm survival line and exploits that in a good way.
thanks everyone who helped me with this. I called both and gary's larest sabal palmetto is 6' and their largest euro fan palm is a 3 gal. lol... and there pretty expensive. My Yard Center was much better huge palms to 25' for $115... mant large sizes... very good prices. i think i will be heading down to south carolina within a month. then maybe florida to get nice sized palms... thanks again -Justin
That was smart to check out the prices. When you drive to the coastal regions in NC and SC where they grow palms you will find the Lwes, HD or local nurseries have a nice selection. As long as your willing to pay $50 - 100 each you'll should get some sizeable/big palms.
Look for sales at K marts and know which palms you are buying. Many of these stores do not know what is cold hardy and if you do you can score a giant bargin.
very true... the reason is this week i have been/ am taking down 29 huge maples and birch and pine trees at my moms house some over 60' high... replaceing with Cold Hardy Palms ill post before / after pics in about a month i hope. So I plan to go to South Carolina and rent a u-haul and pick up 30-40 nice sized (7-15') sabals, pindos, chusan windmills, euro fans,washingtonias, and maybe a canary date or phoenix dacty... ill c what my options are. Im going to build a 2 story palaps in the back also.
Just keep in mind... a 15' Sabal Palmetto will weigh a ton! Literally, unless you have transported and planted one, you just can't even imagine. I picked up and transplanted a 15 footer (10' of trunk) and it took me and 2 other guys 3 hrs just to get it out of the truck and upright in the ground, planted. I would not recommend it without proper equipment. If you're still set on it though... good luck and eat you Wheeties before you try it! :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Planting a Sabal Palmetto
HaHaHa Yea i know what you mean... im use to it tho trust me. I transplanted 3 20' of trunk trachycarpus fortunei and they were at least 2,000 also. i have a lot of friends and were young... played football n stuff so its hard dont get me wrong but many stong hands make light work... ;) and if anything ill rent a heavyduty bobcat and do the job. but there not close to as heavy as the trunks on my 60' pines and birch trees ive been cutting down for the last week. and i have to some how move at least 20-25' pine logs at least 2 1/2' - 3' thick to build my palapa...they probally weigh around 3-4,000 lbs. thanks for the advise tho im ready and determined tho lol. it will be a lot of work but im ready and its much needed work.thanks again- Justin
At least it sounds like you know what you're getting in to. I know I did most of the work with my transplant, I'm 39 yrs old and a fair size 6'1" - 220 lbs... my helpers were much older and much smaller neighbors. The worst part was the fact that I had mine in the bed of a F-250 and I didn't want to drop it on to the ground. We built a slide out of 3/4" plywood and some 2X4's and slid it out. It cracked the plywood and 2X4's... it was NOT fun. I can get a 15 footer installed for $150 or less around here. I only paid $50 for mine since I picked it up.
WOW! very nice prices... i knew they were cheap dime a dozen almost down there and nice and not hurricane cut... here 15' 3-700$ just depends. thats cool i appreciate all the help suggestions and info. i will post pics of before and after and let everyone know how the palm trip was. im looking to et many diff. cold hardy types and i probably will go to my yard center as they have the best prices and sizes i have looked up not too far away. talk soon -Justin in VB
Cool! I'll be looking forward to seeing some pics of the project. Even though I'm in Central Florida, I still have nothing but cold hardy palms. I have Sabal Palmettos, Sabal Lisa's, Sabal Minors, Sabal Louisiana's, both Silver & Green forms of Saw Palmettos, Windmill, Needle Palms, both Silver & Green forms of European Fans. I had a Silver Bismarkia, but our 16.7* low in January killed it completely.
Good luck with your big project!
Hey Justin,
1 thing you might consider is, palms tend to hybridize
or change the providence of the plant it self rather quickly.
I would rather buy palms from a region as close to where
you live as possible. Seeds collected and grown from a warmer climate might not grow as well. Just something to think about.
Justin, I saw what you've been doing at your mom's place when I stopped by to see Laura's garden. I didn't realize you were neighbors. Send me an email (listed in my profile here). She says we should know each other because of our mutul interests in sabals on the Eastern Shore.
The front of your mom's place is pretty amazing!

We visited the Pilgrim monument which is a monument to the pilgrims. Built in 1910 it is the tallest all granite structure in the United States at 252 feet tall. We walked the 116 steps to the top and there were amazing views. It was a sad as Brian and Denise were leaving the next ...

It wasn't the most peaceful library though as it is also a huge tourist attraction. There is a big old sailboat right in the center of it. The library used to be a museum but went bankrupt and became the town library. They couldn't remove the giant boat so it just became part of the book shelves. ...
