I feel it is now my duty to write it down in some detail to give to you, my granddaughter, Lilly Watson née Gross, the eldest daughter of my son, Walter, on the occasion of your wedding.

While we both enjoy the sensual feeling of pure, romantic love-making, we also tend to get a bit rough and voracious when the moment calls.

The Neuropsychological Assessment Need Tool (NANT) is a quick and easy to use online application to help assess the need for a neuropsychological assessment.
A Guide to Psychology and Its' Practice
An uncommon sense approach to some common questions and concerns about the practice of clinical psychology by Raymond Lloyd Richmond, Ph.D.
This site discusses many issues, from fear of flying, to what the DSM-IV codes mean, to self-help and stress management.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy Self-Help Resources
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) has been proven to help mental health problems. This website offers CBT self-help information, resources and tools, including therapy worksheets.
CBT helps an individual make sense of their current problems, whilst understanding the influences of past experiences, using a diagrammatic representation or "formulation" which directs the treatment. This formulation may be highly individualized and more complex for severe problems, but may also include more simple vicious cycles when looking at what is helping to keep the problem going today.
Statsoft Electronic Statistics Textbook
The only Internet Resource about Statistics Recommended by Encyclopedia Britannica
StatSoft has freely provided the Electronic Statistics Textbook as a public service for more than 12 years now.
This Textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the Statsoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics, credit scoring, forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.
The Electronic Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary (pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific areas of statistics, organized by "modules," accessible by buttons, representing classes of analytic techniques. A glossary of statistical terms and a list of references for further study are included.

I document I learn on VDC. Quite aside from helping others it makes me thorough, which I like.
Since 2004 I've taught myself, and others, in just about every discipline the Source engine offers.
I document I learn on VDC. Quite aside from helping others it makes me thorough, which I like.
And for that matter, where /are/ we?
*puffs pipe*
The Animator category was added late. Don't put too much store in it yet.
How rapid is rapid? ;) I think of it as everyone getting on IRC and bashing out the basics over the course of a day, but it sounds like you are/were working on a longer timescale. You seem to be talking about tweaks which need days of playtesting to perfect, or visual themes which need careful and detailed consideration.
That is no different to UDK.
So does Steamworks.
Even better example:
It announces Alien Swarm
They announce Alien Swarm
One makes sense, the other doesn't. :-)
It's English grammar, as opposed to American. Valve is a registered company but it didn't make the game: the group of people who call themselves after it did. Two separate concepts.
Have you ever heard of a company of actor?
That now seems to be the case. The AS SDK will be separate from the Source SDK.
I was willing to assume that would be on Mac, but that chatlog tips the balance. Profile updated.
Nope, those deals don't give you the SDK.
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source. THAT was bad.
It's not a silly question. AS gives you the SDK according to the store page, so *if* it's free to everyone in the world then Valve are making all Source mods free to everyone in the world as well.
They'd be making some noise if that was the case, so I expect it will in fact only be available if you own the SDK already.
I can't load the screenshot right now, but the missing phonemes are '&' and ')' - which aren't valid. Have you ever installed SAPI 5.1 on your system?
Post the contents of the log and we'll see what's up.
Yes, I can see now that only owning CR would be a problem. But don't worry: you can still launch the mod manually by following the instructions in the readme. :-)
(Ground Control also had very sparse maps and fog of war BTW, and most units were quite nippy too. With slower troops and dense, cover-filled maps shorter weapon ranges becomes a real benefit in design terms.)
Because that leads to game profiles being spammed up with crappy user-made screens and videos. Just look at the TF2 page!
No - I made a narrower one. The changes are all focused on giving player decisions more meaning.
Worked fine with Steam for me.
Looks good, but the absence of autosave points makes playing it a chore.
No problems here. Why not just watch it somewhere else? :p
A rare example of correction used correctly. :)
This is superb. Sensible puzzles, no fiddle, fantastic visuals...congratulations! :)

Damn, it's corrupted for about thirty seconds in the middle. Don't watch it with headphones or you'll be deafened!
1080p version here: Ve3d.ign.com
It's been painted over to some extent. Compare the aliasing on the windows to the very smooth edges on the back of the robot.
It's much more a sepia tone than boring old brown, and there are greens and reds seeping in too. I like it.
Whoops! Thanks. :)
Being in a skybox doesn't make things render faster. This is all stuff taken straight from other games anyway, by definition it can work.
Excuse me? :p Moddb.com
I'd be interested to know which news admin didn't consider this story worth the front page...
I can see why this won. It's great to look at, and every time you get stuck it's purely because you weren't thinking with portals! :)
I'm pretty sure that the whole point of TFC was to demo the capabilities of the SDK. Surely there was source code.
Any changes are likely to only affect new games. I doubt they will be retro-fitting older engine branches.
But not all. There will be mods that require Assault Squad.
What an outstanding idea! I will keep a lookout for this.
I have never seen that happen in this build, nor has anyone else reported it. Can you reproduce the problem?
So, er, Unity didn't already have this?
Freeman? FREEMAN? FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMAAAAAAAAAAAN!!
(Fixed in 1.2)
Does it also say "Could not open phoneme translation file"? That the extractor continues on after that is an oversight on my part.
|all_source_engine_paths| is required for AdditionalContentID. Without it, each SearchPath is relative to the main AppID only.
I'm using this with the Steam release and everything is working fine. Saved games are compatible, but you may have trouble loading them: Gog.com
No idea, sorry. There's no harm in trying though - comment back if it works.
Does it work with Steam?
This is from 2004...hardly representative of where Source is today.
How many gamers committed enough to own 4GB of RAM don't have Steam installed? The survey isn't optional any more.
4GB of RAM? That's 89% of gamers out of the frame right there. Store.steampowered.com
Definitely worthwhile.
The Edit Group page is broken: Moddb.com
Where on earth do mod teams get $300 from? :-P
I could swear I played that level yeeeaaaaarrs ago. Was it released under a different name?
Is there really a need to do the checks like that? An array representing the tiles would surely do the same job far more elegantly.
Unless that's a clever pun on "achieves", I think you meant to call it Archives.
Saying "I know this isn't allowed" does not make something allowable. Ethically or legally.
I like the glowing structure in the middle, but not seeing that amount of HUD data in a fast-paced FPS game...
Erm, it uses Ep2 content /all the time/. The whole mod apes the Ep2 industrial style from start to finish.
Shame this was archived. There's a really good discussion of Carmack's modding comments going on at Rockpapershotgun.com right now.
Nanobot war inside the body of a dying man.
Erm, "Meet the Spartans"?
I hope that's a clever pun and not an awful spelling mistake. ;-)
The L4D Authoring Tools aren't called an SDK for this very reason.

You're supposed to include an EA copyright notice if you add anything you create to a website too, but stuff that! ;-)
The map is from Dark Messiah, is it not?
Uhm, it doesn't go in either of those places. The mod folder should be at:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\
It's even easier if you use WeGame and record it straight off.
Having downloaded the CBP for the house's PS3, I've got to say that it completely changes my feelings toward the game. All of the CBP maps I've played so far have been better than the stock maps _in all regards_.
These gems lift UT3 out of ugly mediocrity. :-)
It sounds like they're only available to schools, unfortunately.
You really ought to get a better screenshot than that.
Yeah, this definitely doesn't belong here.
Ask an admin.
So is this for HL2 or Left 4 Dead?
Specular fallout dust makes no sense. :P
What do you expect? The only source of electricity now are Citadels. :-)
While we're discussing lighting...no HDR?
I have to hand it to you, this is pretty damn good.
Very STALKER-ish outdoor map. :-)
Why didn't anyone tell me this was about to be released? I have a new version of openday!
Well, I got around that by opening the file in 7zip and extracting everything manually. But now I can't join any servers because "my map differs" - even though I can only see 2.1 RC2 servers in the list!
The menu background is missing too: I just see the purple check pattern. Nothing but problems so far...
I've downloaded and tried to run the install twice now, from two different sources, but it won't even start. My hard drive starts to grind from the moment I click on it and after I've gone away and had a cup of tea the UAC prompt is up. I OK that away and the drive starts grinding again, but when I return from a sit in the garden for a while there's nothing on the screen at all.
If it has only just been decided, the chances are they're using the Source-wide base app.
Absolutely ******* [i]fantastic[/i] article. I wish I'd written it. :)
It's also great to hear how much the team has learnt. ES still lacks that "oomph" that would make me play it regularly, but the foundations are a steady as any game I've played and I'm sure future versions will improve on the mechanics.
Loving the colour. :D
psst... vrad.exe -staticproplighting ;-)
Excellent use of that glass shader. The lighting on the tiles is very flat though - spice it up! :-)
"Occupied Abandoned"? :-p
Given that they list /all/ of the OB games, I think they're mistaken. You'd either need one of them, or none!
Are they waiting to be authorised?
It's an intriguing concept for a story, but I've yet to hear anything notable about the game itself - and the /total/ colour desaturation makes my eyes go funny. ;-) Mirror's Edge is an excellent example of a similar setting rendered in a far more understandable way. Just a hint of hue and gradients and everything pops into focus...
(BTW, the PC to cross-platform one is fascinating!)
That was amazing. The controls look much more fluid! :-)
Yep. Here's mine:
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
And here I was thinking this was inspired by The Third Man!
Got a video of the new fight physics?
This is actually really good. I'd love to see a cleaned-up version with HDR and whatnot. :-)
Yeah. The screen is from Garry's Mod.
You need HL2 Episode One.
Gorgeous as ever, but could a news post about something _other_ than models and texture be made some time? ;-)
I'm afraid you just don't have total control over that kind of thing on the web.
ModDB's HL2 icon: Media.moddb.com
Actual HL2 icon: Steamreview.org
That's the kind of thing I meant. There are lots of jaggy edges right now.
This sounds like it could have been amazing. :(
Oh yeah, no formatting.
I don't know if these restrictions are a good idea at all. Did formatting ever harm anyone?
It's especially stupid when you're literally prevented from posting them. [i]This is the internet![/i]
Yeah, bring back proper links.
Of course, since Wraiyth and I wrote that between us you could always call bias. :-p
Finally, we can talk to each other! :-)
I have a clone! :o
Nice work. I have Vista and the lack of lip sync ****** me off as well.
[url=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Choreography_creation]There's also a tutorial at VDC.[/url] It's missing the lip syncing page, coincidentally! :p
Aaargh! Lose the colour correction!
You were killed by info_player_start. :D
The textures are a little plain, but I like the mood!
Ugh, what's wrong with a full installer?
Nice screens. Bad links. :)
Why no HDR?
Er. What's happening?
Great angle.
What can I say? Great work.
I'm in the "Doom 3 engine/Quake 4 are hideous" camp, and even I'm impressed. :) These shots are far better than anything I've seen come out of the game before!
You're showing us a render of a plank of wood.
Skedar reminds me of a UT2004 DOM map.
If Valve didn't want it, they wouldn't have produced modding tools.
Nobody minds mods made with the IP of the game in question: it's when you export that IP somewhere else that problems arise.
You can read HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\SourceModInstallPath to get the user's true install path. Just a timesaver for those with Steam installed to a different location.
It looks like an explosion in space, unlike IW2's. I like it.
Who cares how much is reused? I'd be happy if they reused everything if it led to more brilliance - which it has. You're really fooling yourself if you don't play Ep1 because it "doesn't have new bosses".
Your uninstaller tries to delete SourceMods too!
Try asking for Lua coders here.
Revamped netcode? Uh oh. Is it really worth fiddling with one of the hardest bits of code to get right for eight extra players? What else are you doing with it?
That's a hell of a lot better than most of the crap people make with GM. :)
Wait, video reviews? *hides*
I would vote for both round-tables and retrospectives if I could (can MDB handle multiple-choice polls?). That's definitely the most interesting thing for me. Reviews of full games, on the other hand, I don't think fit into MDB's brief at all. Not that I want to demean Joe's excellent work on them. :)
Great stuff, I've never worked out why people don't use detail textures on landscapes more often. Rome Total War would look so much better with them!
I don't know about amazing, but it was pretty damn good. Not a patch on the original though...
I did a similar thing. My RA mod reintroduced infantry past the first few missions. It was loads of fun and oh so easy & rewarding. :)
This mod always makes me smile. :)
The mod unlocked existing content that was hidden by Rockstar from the ratings board and later lied about. That is the only issue here. Nobody has accused the modders of anything.
Is that really Quake 1? Crazy...:s
Can anyone repackage this mod with just the actual battles and no other changes? Is that even possible?
Opening popup windows from every page to bump your site up the ranks isn't a good way to garner respect.
I thought the name came from Terminator 3 for some reason. ;) Maybe I'm just weird.
Very very cool. I can't wait!
It's also been compared to Total Annihilation, Terra Nova, Carrier Command of course, and even Jagged Alliance. A frightening list to live up to. ;)
Is this for Half-Life 1 or 2?

Hello, my name is Patricia Freitas, I'm the Young Ambassador from Brazil.
I am a windsurfer and have been sailing since I was 13 years old. I am currently number one in Brazil, and my first participation in an Olympic Games was in Beijing in 2008. I have finished school and I am now studying architecture. I was once a volunteer teacher at a sailing school and have helped many new athletes take their first steps with windsurfing equipment.
I am very happy and proud to be a Young Ambassador. I believe our role in the YOG is very important since I have been to an actual Olympic Games and have seen how some professional athletes lack the abilities and attitudes we will be helping to develop in the young athletes going to Singapore in August. I believe the activities promote a very healthy competition atmosphere and are based on very important values, such as teamwork, strategy building and friendship.

Prior to leaving office State Auditor Brian Sonntag sent a letter to then Governor-elect Inslee encouraging him to focus on reforms to the state's antiquated financial management system. Today State Auditor Troy Kelley released a performance audit which found:
The House is about to demonstrate that resorting to title only bills is unnecessary. Two bills that were introduced within the last 10 days of session were just added to the floor calendar (HB 2056 and HB 2058).
With just four days to go in the 2013 Regular Session, lawmakers and the Governor are discussing the framework for the inevitable specials session(s). One difference this year from previous special sessions may be how tightly focused state officials' efforts and attention are.
Not to be lost on tomorrow's House Finance Committee agenda is SB 5843 (tax preference review). The Senate version of the bill was unanimously approved back on March 7. After the Senate approved the bill WPC encouraged the House to consider also:
Though we have serious concerns about the impact of the House Democrat's $1.3 billion tax increase proposal on the state's economy and jobs (nearly 10,000 private sector jobs could be lost), at least the public will actually have a chance to weigh in on the proposal.
With a special session all but guaranteed for the Legislature to finish its work on the 2013-15 budget, a simple bill being considered by the Senate Ways and Means Committee today could have a fundamental impact on future budget debates.
Introduced on Monday and heard for a public hearing on Tuesday, SB 5910 would move up the state's March revenue forecast to February in long sessions. The bill is scheduled for executive action in the Senate today.
Last Friday the House approved its 2013-15 state operating budget proposal on a party-line 54-43 vote. The only lawmaker to cross-party lines was Rep. Stonier (D) who voted against the budget saying:
Looks like editors at The Olympian decided to declare April 16 as "Legislative Transparency Day." The capital city newspaper ran two editorials today highlighting our recommendations to improve the public's access to the legislative process.
Former State Auditor Brian Sonntag has been inducted into the "Heroes of the 50 States: The State Open Government Hall of Fame."
According to a press release by the National Freedom of Information Coalition:
Place this in your irony file, after fighting to have the voter-approved supermajority vote requirement for tax increases ruled unconstitutional, the budget proposed today by House Democrats will require a supermajority vote for approval.
Last Friday night the Senate approved its operating budget with a bipartisan 30-18 vote. The House is expected to release its counter proposal on Wednesday. As with most budgets there are good and bad components of the Senate plan.
With the Senate about to take action on its 2013-15 budget proposal, the Office of Financial Management (OFM) is weighing in. OFM said this about the proposed use of dedicated I-900 performance audit funds:
Having finished reading the 237 page budget summary I'm now digging in to the actual 401 page bill language. At the pace I'm going I'll be reading the Senate "approved" versus "proposed" budget. Despite being only a few pages in some very interesting studies proposed for the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC).
Among them:
The Senate Majority Coalition released its $33.2 billion 2013-15 blueprint for the state today at a noon press conference with Republican and Democrat budget writers speaking. Joining GOP Sen. Hill and Sen. Parlette were Democrat Sen. Hargrove and Sen. Nelson. As tweeted by Tacoma News Tribune Columnist Peter Callaghan:
Business taxes took center stage today in Olympia. While the morning started with a work session in the Senate Trade and Economic Development Committee on how to reform the state's hated Business & Occupation Tax (B&O), the afternoon began with Governor Inslee's attempt to re-define what a tax increase is.
Jason Mercier is Director of the Center for Government Reform at Washington Policy Center and is based in the Tri-Cities. He serves on the boards of the Washington Coalition for Open Government and CandidateVerification, and was an advisor to the 2002 Washington State Tax Structure Committee. Jason is an ex-officio for the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce. In June 2010, former Governor Gregoire appointed Jason as WPC's representative on her Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Panel.

Toe Kick Ducting Help
I am going to have a bathroom cabinet installed in a few weeks. I have prepped the floor with tile and I have a 6" floor opening for a duct (per carpenter's request) for the toe kick heating/cooling vent that I will have in my vanity.
Now I am having difficulty finding the parts to make this venting work. I can find the grills, but not the boots to go from 6" floor round hole to horizontal duct to toe kick. All within the limited 3" or so vertical space.
I have seen the ToeDuctor kit, but it does not show the boot installed on a round floor opening, but in the FAQ section it says that it will fit.:
The Toeductor kit is also very expensive at round $60 plus an outrageous price for shipping.
I have seen this image (below) at Midwest Duct that might work but I can't see the whole thing to know how the rest of the unit would connect to duct work.
I have a 6" round hole in my floor. So I am assuming that I need round connection to fit into the floor and 90degree turn within a 3" height. If I used the example you show it looks like it would be too tall from the round part to the turn. The rectangle box seems like it would need to intersect the cylinder just beyond the round collar that fits into my floor.
If I had something like this then the rectangle piece would have to connect to a duct to the vent plate. I don't know if that is available either. Would oval flex duct connect to the rectangle piece?
With the boot I showed, you'd rotate the boot 90-degrees clockwise from what is shown in the photo.
You'd have to cut a larger hole in the floor. The reason I offered the boot is that they are readily available. When you get into some of the other less common fittings you have to order in quantity.
If you use a boot and the vanity is already in place, enlarge the hole in the floor, then slide the boot "up" from below in the basement and then slide it "forward" so the 2-1/4" by 12" rectangular opening on the boot slides into the same-sized hole in your toe kick.
You mentioned "oval flex duct". If you already have that, there are oval toe kick boxes:
If you can't source one, You could always fashion your own duct out of a wall stack fitting, or even a section of wall stack itself and a 6" round for the transition. Wall stack is the type of duct that fits into a stud bay. A few pop rivets to hold things together, then mastic or aluminum tape to seal any seams. No duct tape!
Stack duct:
Thanks Mongo some of the ducts you've shown might work. I need to look some more on the link you provided. Below I have a plan view of my floor and vanity
I called Midwest Duct and asked the receptionist about the box duct in the first image. She was very helpful even though she couldn't answer many of my questions, she know what I was trying to do. She said it is open at one end 2.5"x12", but she didn't know the other dimension across the box. To me it looks like 12". She didn't know where the 6" hole was in relationship to the box. There were no drawings of the duct, just the photo.
My vanity will be 21" deep.
I have the 6" round in the floor that is already tiled :) So there is no cutting a larger opening.
The centerline of the opening is 6.75" from dry wall before the cabinet is installed. Then from centerline to toe kick area is about 10 - 10.5". I am assuming the toe kick is 3.5" recessed and 4" high.
Here is a plan view of my vanity size and location of floor duct:
The wall stack fitting might be an answer to either extend the Midwest Duct to the toe kick, or construct my own box and round duct connection.
With the location of your round floor opening already set in stone...err...tile...I agree it'd probably be easiest, fastest, and least expensive to fashion your own. Or at least fashion part of it.
If you pick up a section of wall stack and a 6" (crimped or non-crimped, as you need, the one in the photo is crimped) collar like this:
You can make something that fits the toe kick space nicely. It'd actually look very much like the photo of the toe space head you have in your first post.
If the dimensions work you could also minimize your on-site fabrication by using that Midwest Duct toe space head you show in your first post and simply extend the open end of it to your toe kick cutout with a home made rectangular sleeve.
Home made solutions. Such fun!! Good luck with it.
Thanks again Mongo, this looks do-able. I wish it was earlier on in my remodeling cause I caved this am and bought the "Toe Ductor", with shipping and the grill the cost was around $90. I know that is outrageous, but I just can't fiddle with one more thing :/ With the holidays coming and daughter traveling to visit and son graduating (yeah!) I just need something that will go in now. I need to get tiling instead!
You have such a great sense of humor. Thanks for you help. I will report back with how it all turns out. My vanity will go in next week.
Thanks about the congrats on the kids. Son will graduate in 2 weeks and be an engineer. He will be moving from the corn fields of Iowa to north of Albany NY to work with M+W engineering firm.
Update: I bought the Toe Ductor for a lot of money. But it was an easy solution and worth the freedom from hassle. My DB set it in place for me.
It is a hair under 3.75" tall at the square box where it is the highest. The vanity was built to have a 4.5" inside clearance, from bottom side of vanity floor to the top of my room floor.
Here is a picture of it. I think there is enough room to flex it out the side of the vanity, but I will probably send it out the front, into the main part of the room.
Hi Enduring! And if you don't post again before, Merry Christmas! Is that your tile showing under the cardboard? Have you got it butted up to each other, ie with no grout lines? We are cutting tile (by we, I mean DH is doing the actual cutting, I am carefully choosing each tile, so far have enough for entire floor, and not ONE duplicate!) as I type.
Raehelen, Merry Christmas to you too!
Yes that is my tile. The spacing is about 1/16 or 3/32". I used these leveling system spacers and I think they were around 1/16". There is a slight rounded edge to the tile. The grout is Laticrete Spectralock in Dusty Grey. It is a real nice color with these tiles. My tile is highly variegated. It mostly went in ok but I had a lot of repeats, and I was told there were over 100 different patterns. But I bought them online and didn't want to fuss with returning. When I laid it this late summer, I had the whole batch laying in the yard so I could lay out the room and strategically position repeats under cabinets locations before I committed to anything.
Good luck on your tiling. I read several days ago you were getting ready to tile. I still have my shower to do yet. My carpenter is in today installing my cabinets. They are very pretty. Some small details need tweaking.
here is a picture of my floor. the thresholds need to be caulked, as does the shower pan off to the right. The thresholds ended up being black travertine. Only color I could get locally that would work. I just tell myself, that with old age, it will be good to have the high color contrast for visual cueing to step up to the slightly higher bathroom floor :)
Gorgeous! What is your shower curb made out of again? It looks very similar in colour to mine! Speaking of thresholds, our tile will be about 1/4" higher than the hardwood in the bedroom. Our tile place had given us a piece of schulter trim, but DH said it won't work, he found another metal piece that needs to be screwed in, now am second guessing, sigh it seems a step backwards as we had screw in metal thresholds in house #1! (But then was between vinyl and carpet). Perhaps being between limestone (lookalike) and tigerwood, it'll be OK?
Heading off to pick up granite vanity top, and now that we have pieces of tile, can perhaps pick a grout colour...
Was it hard pushing grout into 1/16" joints? WE had 1/8" spacers, but DH was worried it would be too hard to do, so he bought 3/16" ones. Have never had a tile floor before, and basically I will be the only one using this BR, so cleaning grout shouldn't really be an issue... can't be worse than scrubbing all those indents in the old vinyl floor!
Thanks Raehelen. The shower pan is a Kohler cast iron in "Ice Grey" I will use the Dusty Grey caulk at the tile/shower pan junction.
I think I used 3/16" grout spacing or maybe it was 1/4", for my first bathroom floor. I really like it. It is a high contrast tile and grout layout. It is epoxy grout, so easy to keep clean. It is in a heavily used bathroom. Are you getting a cementous grout? Have you considered epoxy or urethane grout?
Your tile sounds lovely and being porcelain it will be so practical. The tigerwood sounds beautiful. Can't wait to see your pictures.
BTW, I love reading your post, your just sound so full of life. I think your a hoot.
Our 24 year old daughter just rolled in on the Mega Bus from Chicago. She is so sweet. Our son is about to graduate from Iowa State the is weekend. It will be our family christmas too. We're going to get a glass of wine and watch "UP" :)
I did consider epoxy grout (after reading about it on GW). The guy at the tile place thought it was much harder to work with and has sort of talked me out of it. With floor and shower, we have about 130 sq ft to grout, though with the LFT, I guess it's not too much work . I just don't want to bite off more than we can chew. Doing the glass mosaic BS in our kitchen was a b**ch, and I swear I was cleaning grout off for weeks afterwards...(though there was a rippled glass tile in there that though pretty was not easy to wipe). On the other hand, I don't want to regret not doing epoxy if it's that much easier to keep clean. I don't have a housekeeper, so it's up to moi to keep everything shipshape!
I have only used cement grout once and epoxy grout 3 times. You could run a thread on it here on GW and get feedback. I know some think it is over kill. It does give the grout a slightly different look, a bit plasticy shiny, but not bad. A tile show room in the Des Moines metro area uses urethane on all their floor sample areas. They say the you just put the lid back on and it can be used again. They change out the floor tiles and like the ease of not mixing the grout from dry.
There is a definite procedure to working with epoxy but it can be easily followed.
Here is a picture of my floor grout from my 1st remodel. It is a mixture of 1 part Silver Shadow and 2 parts Platinum, with the grout at the toilet flange being straight Platinum. My plumber likes to not have to drill through tile so he asked that I make a bigger opening at the tile layer, then I filled it with the epoxy grout.
Merry Christmas to both of you Enduring and raehelen , and congratulations enduring on the graduation of your son and new job . Wishing you both a great time with your families during this blessed time of the year .
I am 99% done with my MB . I just need to get the company to repolish and seal my floors and a waiting for a carpenter to fix the inside of my drawers . I can probably post a reveal after the holidays before solving these two issues . I am so happy that I can use my MB now for the holidays and my DH couldn't believe himself the day he slept back in his bed in the MB .
See you after the holidays .
Thank you Lillo! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. I am looking forward to seeing your reveal pictures! It looks like the three of us are getting close to being done, though you are nearest the finish line! We have been using our MB the whole time, perhaps not the wisest decision, but both DH and I get stiff backs from the firm guest bed (memory foam topper is on the to do list...)! Every day as I clean drywall dust off of everything, (Hubby says he finished sanding weeks ago, and doesn't believe that I'm cleaning up anything but 'ordinary dust'- like how would he know...???), I wonder how much of that I'm breathing in every night! Part of me feels badly to hear all the troubles you have had with your various trades, and sorry, but part of me also is reminded that hiring someone instead of DIY is never a guarantee that it will get done right or even quicker! One of my favourite shows on TV is The Block, and I question
how in the world do they get so much done in one week!!!
Our son and his new wife will be in town tomorrow, and I am so looking forward to him helping install the 12mm thick shower doors, uh I meant to say, I am so looking forward to having them here for Christmas! LOL
Thanks to both you and Enduring for all the support and encouragement along the way...Happy Holidays!
How sweet of you Lillo! Merry Christmas to you and your family too. I'm sure your DH will have "visions of sugar plums dancing in his head" this Christmas Eve, sleeping in his new and lovely bedroom.
Graduation went off beautifully. Nice speaker and a great singer at the ceremony. Our DS is a real character. I hope NY state can handle it :) He'll be moving from the corn fields of Iowa to just north of Albany to work for an engineering firm. We will miss him dearly but look forward to some road trips. There is a thoroughbred racing season in Saratoga Springs that I would love to experience this summer.
Bathroom related, I have my laundry stack of cabinets in the bathroom, and they are going to be pretty. Monday the vanity goes in. The template for the counter will be after the New Year as the stone shop will be closed the rest of the week from early Christmas Eve on. I am looking for chrome pulls and have ordered some different styles online to see how they look. Depending on the electricians schedule (and his wife's) he may or may not be able to get here at the end of the week to finish up the electric. I will call the plumber today and have him install the toilet ASAP, following the cabinet install. I have to get that darn tile up in the shower and do my caulking. I have a stone travertine (black) shower curb that I will be using for the shower niche sill. That will have to be ripped to get it to fit into the depth of the niche. The black will match the veining in the porcelain and the thresholds that I have. I toyed with the idea of cararra thresholds and sill for the niche but didn't go with it. We will see if that was a mistake. But already I can see the benefit with the dark threshold as it clearly marks the floor transitions.
LOL, this bathroom was supposed to be done last July!
You up too Raehelen? Thanks, and you are so articulate in your response to Lillo. I am really looking forward to seeing Lillo's and your bathroom too. The shower doors, I remember you said you got them at Costco, I hope you post a blow by blow account of the installation. I haven't got the shower door situation figured out yet.
Merry Christmas! to you both and to Mongoct.
BTW, my cabinet shop really likes the Toe Ductor that I installed (even with the cost - of course they can pass that on to the customer). Vanity will go in today. Yeah!

My partner and I stayed at Peggy's delightful B&B recently, and we felt so welcomed. Totally open and affirming to gay couples! The house backs up to miles of gorgeous forests, with deer close by. The home is neat and trim, without a trace of clutter. Beautiful hardwood floors and whimsical touches of Mexico throughout the home. We had such a great time, and the breakfast was so yummy. We highly recommend this place to stay!

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Morris restaurant gets big show of support
MORRIS -- Two gay restaurant owners in Morris may have been served a heaping helping of bigotry, but in the end they received their just desserts.
At least, that's the conclusion of several LGBT activists who travelled from Winnipeg on Saturday to the eatery as a show of support.
"Although something awful happened," offered Chad Smith, executive director of the Rainbow Resource Centre, "they're going to have some really great memories."
Smith, along with partner Erwin Maguire and friend Harrison Oakes, were part of a full house at the Pots N Hands Restaurant in the early afternoon on Saturday. A few dozen members of the Winnipeg GLBT community had planned to head south to Morris over the course of the day.
Even though the restaurant owners have decided to close their operation on April 13 – stemming from now well-publicized incidents involving anti-gay slurs hurled their way – Harrison said it was important to show symbolic support.
"Bullying isn't allowed to go on," he said. "You can't be a spectator. You have to stand up and you have to do something."
In fact, the restaurant has been largely filled with locals since the controversy made national headlines after the story broke in the Free Press on Tuesday. Even on Saturday, the majority of the customers were Morris-area residents – some of whom had to be turned away because the restaurant was full.
One Morris resident who has frequented Pots N Hands during the diner's four-month existence said the swell of support gave her mixed emotions. "It's too little, too late," said Wendy, who did not want to give her last name. "Morris doesn't look too good now, does it? But it only takes one or two people to wreck it for everybody else. I have begged them (the owners) to stay but they won't listen."
Indeed, both the local Chamber of Commerce president and Morris Mayor Gavin van der Linde have urged owner/chef Dave Claringbould and his partner Matt (who didn't wish to give his last name) to stay the course. But to no avail.
"We're not saying 'Never again'," Matt told the Free Press on Saturday. "We're just saying, 'Not now'. We need some time to just step back and open with a clean slate and a fresh start."
Matt said the couple have been approached to start up a restaurant in Winnipeg. "We've had a few offers," he said.
Matt reiterated the owner's stance that they never sought publicity, much less the avalanche of negative press the community has received since their decision to close – followed by a couple of homophobic quotes from a local resident and rival restaurant owner that went viral.
What followed, however, was an outpouring of support from both local residents and gay activists. Matt called the response "overwhelming."
"It's been an experience that I'm thankful is happening because it shows that people need to accept others for who they are," he said, in between waiting tables. "It's been eye-opening for everyone. I feel that in time things will improve."
Oakes said he's noticed an increase in anti-gay incidents since the introduction of the Selinger government's anti-bullying Bill 18.
"It seem like a lot of homophobia has been creeping out of the woodwork," Oakes said, referring to an incident this week in Winnipeg where a man found the word "HOMO" had been spray painted on the front of his home on Easter Sunday. "We're not just going to put up with it and keep quiet."
Updated on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 6:00 PM CDT: edit to details of spray paint victim.

crunchy baked pork chops
I don't know what has happened to me since we were on vacation in Aruba (what feels like a hundred years ago), but I seem fixated on one food, and one food only: Meat. Yeah, I hardly know me either. How could this have happened? The former vegetarian? The person who considers meat a side dish, and nothing else? She who could live by quiche alone? This road I'm walking down scares me. How long until I start craving Bistro Burgers? Gnawing on the bones of demolished lamb chops, then vacuuming them of their marrow? I've always seen carnivorous cravings as a slippery slope.

The Green Penguin: Your Ideas on Heat Recycling
Recently I asked you for ideas on creative recycling of waste server heat. The inspiration came from a University of Notre Dame project that warms a botanical garden with waste heat. This edition of The Green Penguin covers your own creative ideas.
This idea came from Lorenz in Germany:
"We use our Servers to heat the IT-staff-offices in winter (direct linking of the heating system and the server-room)."
Because I saw in Lorenz's signature that he works for a public agency in Germany, I asked him what his agency's policy is regarding the implementation of creative policies like this. He responded as follows"
"We have a suggestion scheme for all these kinds of concerns. The federal and the regional government have different initiatives, projects and activities to put good ideas and concepts to [aid] the mass of the citizens and to reduces costs and [carbon] emissions."
Paul Brenner at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing contacted me with a report that introduces a new grid heating framework that removes cooling expenditures and provides dynamic distributed heating benefits to computing facilities. The idea is to integrate computing facilities with other facilities that can utilize the "thermal byproduct the computation delivers", rather than thinking about the computing facility in isolation.
Brenner's fascinating report can be accessed here.
Meanwhile, Paul in Australia had more general ideas.
I read your story about the Notre Dame university's project of using their server farm's waste heat to keep the desert plants alive. It is a fantastic idea but not one that's new - I've heard of towns in Sweden and suburbs in British towns that are heated by water pumped from the cooling units of local power stations. Here in Australia, a company I worked for in Brisbane [...] ran a small power station in Berwick, Victoria off landfill gas, and the waste heat was used to heat a hydroponic rose garden. So heating things like swimming pools, greenhouses, drying systems and living spaces during winter is an ideal use for waste heat.
Wes from an unknown corner of cyberspace wrote:
[Here is a] simple idea, perhaps problematic in implementation.
Trap heat from servers in some kind of duct, proportioned in such a way that rising air, eventually cooling, is still pushed out of the vent through a turbine. The turbine is rotated and through some mechanics produces electricity, perhaps minuscule comparison to what is spent in warming the air but over the course of time if implemented on a large scale the energy spent in warming the air could be offset by the energy produced by the turbine/generator. Or the energy produced by the generator could re-charge/charge UPS batteries in the event of a power outage.
Meanwhile, Kim from Denmark had this to say:
I do not have any particular success stories about waste heat recycling, but as I'm on the fringe of the business, [so] maybe I can give a small bit of input?
Waste heat is - generally spoken - carbon dioxide already used. So every bit of it ought to be recycled.
The simplest way of doing this is to install a air/water heat pump. We had one in the basement for years, it works absolutely nice. A unit the size of a standard fridge delivers hot water to four families. It sucks in hot air, cools it somewhat down and blows it back out again. The principle of air conditioning. Instead of dumping the heat in a radiator outside, it dumps it in a hot water tank.
The pump uses a bit of electricity, but you get about four times the energy out, that you put in. And you get your servers cooled.
On a larger scale, it can be used for heating a building.
A more futuristic way is to use thermocouplers. When you expose them to a temperature difference, they produce a DC current. This could feed the product I work with, a grid-coupled power inverter. Same kind as we use for solar panels. The only snag: the couplers are damn expensive.
As power used equals carbon dioxide used, a even better option is energy efficiency. I don't need cooling of my servers: they run on relatively small machines with C7 CPU's, running various Linux flavors. This is of course not always possible (well, the Linux bit is), but it's a good idea to use a energy-optimized server - and run it down in speed/power consumption, if it isn't under full load.
And last but not least, Michael from yet another sector of cyberspace added:
This [i.e. heat recycling] is a subject that has interested me for some time. I do not understand why manufacturers have not utilized existing technologies such as thermocouples to convert waste heat back into electrical power to feed back into the servers themselves. By doing this, the servers will become more efficient, the more they start to work.
Having done a little research on the Web just recently it would seem that research is being done in converting heat into sound and using miniature thermo-acoustic refrigeration devices to cool equipment such as computers.
I still do not understand why we do not have hardware in place that convert heat for reuse within equipment!
Clearly as mandates grow for firms to reduce everything from costs to power consumption and carbon emissions, the need to examine every ounce of waste will continue to grow. As illustrated by Lorenz's internal heating example above, sometimes a fully internal solution can be found. However, perhaps more likely is a partnership solution, such as the original Notre Dame example that places servers inside the botanical garden, which is in a different location. All of us have busy, focused lives, which makes discovering and exploiting external partnerships challenging. Despite being challenging, the rewards can often be great. The University of Notre Dame's project is saving the university $100,000 per year and the City of South Bend, owner of the botanical garden, $70,000. That's a nice bunch of cash for both partners, and not just in tough economic times.
Perhaps even more promising for the long-term is the systemic thinking espoused in Paul Brenner's report above on integrating facilities. Institutions and governments need to start thinking about how their various parts can interact more efficiently to the benefit of the whole. As the famous environmental thinker William McDonough says, "Waste is food". One entity's byproduct can nearly always be converted to a resource for another entity.
Harnessing these ideas easily gets you excited and motivated, don't they?
If you have further thoughts or example, please send them to the Green Penguin at . Your input is always appreciated.

Recycling computers
I'm going to replace my AMD XP 2200 (OEM) 1.7GHZ clone computer that runs Ubuntu 8.04 with a P4 2.8 from some recycling place or craigslist. Memory will be maxed out to 2GB and HDD upgraded if necessary. Both upgrade can be done for rather cheaply then days.
Dual Core CPU's are great and all but is you aren't running Vista, you have all the power you need in a four/five year old computer.
Can't beat the legacy computer price either.

evergreen screen
dgibsonApril 17, 2010
We are trying to hide three utility boxes at the back of our back yard. I want something evergreen so the boxes are blocked out (from the house and patio) all year long. Prefer ultimately around 5-10 ft tall and I need to span @ 20-25 ft long. It is fully exposed to sun all day and to wind all year. We may put in a pool soon so nothing deciduous will be considered--and no photinia please---I've tired of spraying fungicide. I have 4 dwarf maiden grass in already for summer "blockage" but need the full year screen after I've cut back the maiden grass. Considering Eleagnus amd Ternstroemia presently. Any other candidates?
