When it comes to decorating with fabric, begin with the ends
Would it look OK to have different fabrics on the seats of dining chairs?

Q: We have just bought an antique mahogany dining table. The six dining chairs were acquired at different times and they don't all match, but the wood in the chairs and table are close in colour. Would it look OK to have different fabrics on the chair seats? I'm afraid the dining room will look jumbled, but I like the look of mixed designs.
A: There are so many gorgeous fabrics out there, it's a real challenge to choose just one. The good news is that you don't have to. Designers and manufacturers of fabrics, whether they are heading for the furniture or fashion market, have created colour palettes that complement each other in marvelous ways. The patterns and weave vary, the cloth may be silk, velvet, velour, fine cotton or faux leather, but their shades comingle to produce a fresh, new look. I've just returned from a visit to the sorting room for a sale put on by The Textile Museum in Toronto, For the Love of Cloth. The fundraising project, on Oct. 19 and 20, features hundreds of sample panels from discontinued lines and end rolls of designer fabrics at seriously low prices. Sales such as this also have a variety of beads, fine linens, embroidery and small rugs that have been donated.
The enthusiastic volunteers had prepared a list of the myriad ways these panels can and have been repurposed. Yes, you can recover your dining chairs in a rich selection of patterns and cloth types as you see in the vignette of sale items shown here. Try polka dots or alternate stripes on one chair and floral on another. Just make sure that one colour ties them together. Throw in an exotic table runner and place mats. But don't stop there. For the bedroom think about backing a quilt or duvet cover, a folding door or privacy screen, drawer and basket linings for the closet. In the living area, sample size panels are perfect for small seats and backs, cushions, drapery trim and lap rugs. Many of the exquisite motifs lend themselves to being captured in a frame or wrapped around a wooden frame for hanging. You may find three samples of the same design in different colourways, perfect for a triptych. If you have a loft with soaring wall space, make a focal wall with one of these panels.

The city unit of CPI on Monday went on a dharna near the Gandhi statue at GVMC opposing auctioning of 51 acres of land meant for Rajiv Swagruha at Endada and demanding that houses be constructed to those who applied for houses in the gated community housing project.
Party city secretary J. V. Prabhakar and assistant secretary M. Paidiraju who led the dharna demanded that the housing project be transferred to VUDA for execution and described the auction as an attempt to gift away land to private agencies.
T. Satyanarayana had applied for a house at Mangalagiri in Guntur district. He had paid a deposit of Rs.3,000 in April, 2007, for 1,100 sft house in 266.67 square yards. After two years, some enquiries were made at his house here to confirm the details given in the application.
"After that I have not heard from them. I am planning to approach the consumer forum seeking justice," Mr. Satyanarayana said.

Persimmon trees in Seattle area
Anybody have experience of growing persimmons near Seattle (I'm on Bainbridge Island, if that makes any difference)?
Adapted cultivars of Asian persimmons are your best bet. From the web site of Arthur Lee Jacobson > Articles > Trees That Merit Planting in Seattle:
Diospyros Kaki ---Kaki Persimmon
Troublefree, colorful eastern Asian fruit tree. Glossy, bold foliage. Orange edible fruit in winter, resembles tomatoes clinging to the bare branches
A few Seattle area streets have older Asian persimmons that have grown pretty big. See Jacobson's book Trees of Seattle - Second Edition for their locations.
Local garden centers have regularly stocked these for some years now.
Here is a link that might be useful: 2013 Fruit Trees
This post was edited by bboy on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 21:32
Persimmons do very well here. As bboy states, most local retail nurseries sell them. The issue is with getting them to ripen properly, not always a guarantee in our cool summers. Much like figs in that regard.......a semi-protected, heat reflective location is best. Fuyu is the most commonly sold type but there are varieties of Fuyu that ripen earlier than others. Look for Matsumoto or Jiro.
ps. Valley Nursery in Poulsbo will be carrying Jiro......stock should be up to proper levels mid-March or so.
Just to share my experience. I live in Auburn and have one Fuyu, last year I have 9 fruits after 4 years of growing. I harvested them in late December when they were mostly green for fear of freezing and place them on windowsill until they turned orange. They were quit good. I planted Saijo and jiro last year.
i have one fuyu here in portland. it has never flowered or fruited after 4 years. i started with a good sized tree as well, grafted.
great leaves, great fall foliage. nice medium sized tree. responds to pruning decently well.

its proximity to termini is its best feature. the room was spacious and clean. they served a typical roman breakfast of cornetto and cappuccino, jam, yogurt etc. Owners were friendly, the son spoke english. Free Wifi upon request. There's a trattoria just across the street but i wouldn't recommend their carbonarra. better to eat at the many eateries at termini.

Ruth Holston Stucki
June 21, 1921 ~ February 18, 2014
Our dear mother and matriarch, Ruth Holston Stucki, passed away on February 18, 2014 at the age of 92. Ruth was born on June 21, 1921 in Baltimore, Maryland to Howard Harrison Holston and Ellen Carrie Cummings Holston. Ruth grew up during the Great Depression in the Highland town area of East Baltimore near the birthplace of Babe Ruth and Patterson Park. Ruth attended Public Elementary School #215, Hampstead Jr. High, and Eastern High, eventually graduating from Baltimore City College Preparatory School in 1941 after dropping out of school for two years to care for her mother who had been hit by a drunk driver while walking across the street.
Ruth converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at the age of 17 and served as a full time missionary in the Hawaiian Mission from February 1950 to November 1951. Three days after returning from missionary service Ruth met Alfred Bleak Stucki from St. George, Utah who was in Army Counter Intelligence training at Fort Holabird, Maryland. Following a six month courtship they were sealed in the St. George, Utah Temple on June 4, 1952.
Ruth and Alfred settled in Hurricane, Utah where Alfred taught LDS Seminary and they raised six children. Ruth eventually graduated from Southern Utah State College with a Bachelor of Arts degree and Utah State University with a Master of Education degree and became a school
In addition to her family, Mom's other passions were music, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and family history. Ruth was ward organist to the age of 91 at which time she became "ward organist emeritus".
Mom, we are grateful to you for your love, devotion and enduring example.
Ruth is survived by her six children: Howard (Joni) Stucki, Bountiful, Utah; Jared (Lori) Stucki, Lehi, Utah; Iona (Les) Syphus, St. George, Utah; Alfred (Susan) Stucki, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin; John Stucki, Hurricane, Utah and Curtis (Holly) Stucki, American Fork, Utah; 25 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. Ruth was preceded in death by her husband, Alfred and her granddaughter, Carrie Stucki.
A viewing will be held Saturday, February 22, 2014 from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days-Saints, 155 E 1050 N, Hurricane, Utah followed by a graveside service at 12:00 Noon at the Hurricane Utah City Cemetery, 255 E 600 N.

Dick Harmon: Spectacular BYU defense gets relief in a down Hill runner
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
PROVO — Help came.
Bronco Mendenhall's defense is rebar tough, but through last season and the start of 2013, BYU's head coach had been searching for a little help from his offense, making changes galore and waiting, hoping and counting on some kind of punch to reward Kyle Van Noy and the rest of his defensive guys.
It took a loss and a second game, but he got it Saturday night in BYU's 40-21 spanking of Texas at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
And it came in the most unexpected form.
Against No. 15 Texas, BYU took to the ground and literally beat the salsa out of the Longhorns.
How about this surprise script:
— Quarterback Taysom Hill: 259 yards rushing (a career high)
— Running back Jamaal Williams: 182 yards rushing (a career high)
— Running back Paul Lasike, 87 yards rushing (a career high)
— BYU: 679 yards total offense
BYU gained 550 yards on the ground. It broke a 55-year-old school record for rushing yards in a game by 85 yards. The previous record (465 yards) was set against Montana in 1958. The Cougars had 109 yards rushing last week against Virginia.
Hill ran like Robert Griffin III.
Looking at the real-time game stat monitor, BYU's rushing yards rolled the digital readout like the odometer inside a Bonneville Salt Flats dragster.
The Cougars pounded Texas like a tenderizing meat mallet.
Ty Detmer sat in his home near Austin, Texas, grinning as wide as the Rio Grande. "A good night to be a Cougar in Texas," he tweeted.
BYU went John Deere tractor then Le Mans race car on the Longhorns. The Cougars changed it up like a video game. Up the middle or around the end, it didn't matter the real estate — it all got gobbled up.
With Mendenhall's defense coming up with a multitude of stops, sacks, hurries, tackles for loss and pass deflections, Robert Anae's offense reigned supreme. It may set back the "Bronco never wins a big game" crowd for a few days.
Hill struggled to pass the ball, keeping up a trend he showed at Virginia.
He overthrew, rifling passes behind and short. His efficiency plummeted.
But he turned to his strength.
And Hill put on a show. He made Texas' linebackers look like cardboard cutouts.
Channeling Woody Hayes, the legendary Ohio State coach who once said, "I will pound you until you quit," Hill took control of the game with his legs, setting up running backs Williams and Lasike as BYU amassed 349 rushing yards against the Longhorns defense. And that was in the first half.
BYU turned into a Big Ten football team of yesteryear — left, right, up the middle.
BYU's offensive line, the goat a week ago, looked like something let out of a cage.
One game doesn't make a season, but it is progress.
To put things in perspective, Texas struggled to defend the run in 2012, allowing more than 4 yards per carry. But Saturday, the Cougars averaged 8 yards per tote through the fourth quarter.
That led to a 27-14 Cougar advantage at intermission. And it kept BYU's stingy defense fired up and effective.
With the crowd groaning over Hill's incomplete passes, the sophomore fired up his other engine. On a leg many questioned if it had fully recovered from a season-ending injury last October against Utah State, Hill literally exploded with cuts and jet runs down field that left Texas coach Mack Brown dizzy.
Running the read-option, Hill cut apart Texas defenders, racing to a BYU quarterback record with a 68-yard TD run in the first quarter. He added scoring runs of 20 and 26 before BYU ran out the clock over the final 10 minutes of the game.
BYU's defense shut out the Longhorns over the final 22 minutes of the game, a Texas offense that amassed 715 yards on NMSU last week — scoring more than 30 points on just 15 plays.
In short, this game really boosted BYU's offensive players and their confidence in Anae, who was man enough to take the blame for the opening loss at Virginia, a game the Cougars literally gave away.
All the talk about "go fast, go hard," all the criticism of the past week, Anae's guys stopped talking and went to work. Nothing fancy — just football at the line of scrimmage.
Could have put music to it.
Hayes once said, "The most deceptive course in football is straight at the goalpost."
That, in a nutshell, was BYU's offense Saturday night.
Not even another two-hour weather delay could stop it, let alone Texas.

jam 8 16101- SNORE STOPPING MOUTHPIECE AND PROCESS OF MAKING SAME William A. Nunn, Jr., La Mesa, Calif. Application December 27, 1957, Serial No. 705,532
3 Claims. (Cl. 128-136) will simultaneously learn to keep the mouth closed during slumber. It is contended that the use of the instant device will attain these beneficial results, first by stopping the snoring and, over a period of time, teaching the snorer to breath through the nose during. sleep.
The primary object of this invention is, therefore, to
States Patent provide a simple mouthpiece, having the general nature of a diaphragm, which is not unaesthetic and which is completely effectual and comfortable to use.
Another object, ancillary to the preceding object, is to assure against any discomfort due to ,the elongation of the mouthpiece when the mouth is closed, this being accomplished by employing material for the mouthpiece which is inelastic although quite flexible to provide for the easy, transverse collapse of the mouthpiece.
Another object of this invention is to provide a mouthpiece for controlling snoring which can be used with entire safety, it being virtually impossible for the user to swallow the device inadvertently.
A specific object of the invention is to provide an ovate mouthpiecewith a relatively large or wide peripheral channel, the internal dimension of which is considerably greater than the diameter of the linear element used therein to support or extend the mouthpiece. By this simple expedient the number of different sizes required is considerably limited. In other words, the linear element has considerable freedom of movement within the said peripheral channel.
Another specific object is to provide a simple process for manufacture of the mouthpiece, the principal steps of theprocess being simple and easily accomplished by well-known economic procedures. In this regard it is noteworthy that the method of fabrication of the panel stabilizing means greatly reduces the cost of manufacture. With these objects definitely in view, together with other objects which will appear hereinafter as this description proceeds, this invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of elements and portions, and in the novel method of manufacture, as fully described in the specification, particularly pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the drawing which forms a material part of this disclosure and in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the assembled mouthpiece; Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 2-2 in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of what will be referred to hereinafter as the two ovate panels, as peripherally secured together, this figure repre- Figure 5 illustrates the fourth and fifth steps of the process, placing a suitable length of spring wire within a flexible tube defining a loop, and inserting the tube with the wire therein in the peripheral channel resulting from the preceding step;
Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view of the assembled article and may be thought of as representing the last principal step, the securement of the inner edge of the apertured panel to the adjacent portion of the other panel, thereby sealing the said peripheral channel;
Figure 7 is an elevational view of the above-mentioned tube with the spring wire therein, the tube being broken away, in part, to disclose the overlapped ends of the spring wire; and
Figure 8 is a vertical sectional view of the mouthpiece as disposed when in use, a portion of a human face being shown in profile and somewhat diagrammatically representing how the mouthpiece is disposed with reference to the teeth and lips, the figure also being proposed as indicating how the mouthpiece is rearwardly deflected at each end to set within the cheeks.
Similar characters of reference indicate similar or identical elements and portions throughout thespecification and throughout the views of the drawing.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the device will first be described as to its component parts and then the method of manufacture will be set forth.
A first ovate panel 10 and a second ovate panel 12 of the same external dimensions are constructed of highly flexible but inelastic material such as relatively thin plastic sheet. The first panel 10 is imperforate and the second panel 12 has a relatively large central aperture 14. The panels are secured at the common periphery 16 and define therebetween a channel 18 which has a considerable internal dimension or width for purposes which will become apparent immediately hereafter.
A tube 20 of resilient, reasonably durable material has its ends secured together by a coupling 22 to con stitute a loop and a spring wire loop 24 is enclosed in this tube, the spring wire being considerably longer than the tube so that its overlapping ends 26 are free to move relative to each other within the tube as the tubev is flexed. The tube 20 with the wire loop 24 therein is inserted in the channel 18 and the channel 18 is closed at its inner periphery by bonding or securing the panels together as indicated at 28. As mentioned above, the channel 18 is considerably larger than the diameter of the tube 20 and this allows the tube 20 to move freely within the channel when the mouthpiece is flexed in use.
Coming now to a discussion of the process of manufacture of the article, the first step may be considered the provision of two panels of similar ovate form, the central perforation of one of them and the securement of the panels together at the common periphery 16 or as diagrammatically indicated in Figure 3. The next step of the process is the turning of the peripherally secured panels inside out as indicated in Figure 4 to provide a channel which is substantially peripherally disposed. This channel, indicated at 30, corresponds to the channel 18 after the same has been closed at its inner periphery. The next steps consist in the placing of a suitable length of spring wire within the tube 20, connecting the ends together, as indicated by the coupling 22, and inserting the tube 28 with the wire loop therein into the channel 30. The final step is indicated in Figure 6 and consists in the bonding or securing of the second, perforated panel 12 to the adjacent portion of the imperforate panel 10 so that the open channel 30 becomes the closed channel 18, with the loop 20 retained therein. It will be noted that all the steps of this process are simple and easily carried out by established procedures, the securement of the panels together at 16 and 28 being ordinarily accomplished by thermal bonding, at least when the panels are constructed of plastic material, although it is obvious that other means could be employed. It will also be noted that extreme accuracy in measurement and positioning of the elements is not required in this process, a notable example of this feature being in the insertion of the wire 24 with overlapping ends in the tube 21 The use of this last-mentioned structure is an important feature of this invention when considered both from article and method viewpoints.
The manner of employment of this invention will be obvious from a consideration of the foregoing description of the mechanical details of the article and the steps of manufacture. In recapitulation it may be noted, however, that the extreme flexibility of the article is important and the representation in Figure 8 indicates how the ends of the mouthpiece are deflected rearwardly by the lips and cheeks, one rearwardly deflected portion, that at the left side of the mouth, being shown in elevation at 32. This figure also indicates that the mouthpiece will tend to collapse forwardly when the mouth is partially-or fully closed.
Further description would appear to be unnecessary.
Minor variation from the illustrated and described embodiments of this invention, and minor variation from the specifically described steps of the process can be resorted to without departure from the spirit and scope of this invention and the drawing and specification should be considered illustrative rather than limiting.
I claim:
1. An anti-snoring mouthpiece comprising: a first ovate panel of flexible sheet material dimensionally adapted to be inserted in the mouth between the teeth and the lips; a second panel centrally apertured and peripherally se cured to the first ovate panel to define a continuous channel extending substantially along the common periphery of the panels; a flexible tube in said channel and defining a closed loop; and a spring wire loop in said tube directly supporting said tube and thus indirectly supporting said ovate panels along said common periphery; said panels being of inelastic material, and said channel has an internal dimension several times the diameter of said tube, whereby elongation of the ovate panels in the direction of the major axes thereof is inhibited while transverse collapse is made possible, thus permitting the user to close his mouth without uncomfortable projection of the ends of the ovate panels into the checks.
2. A mouthpiece according to claim 1 wherein the wire in said wire loop is considerably smaller in diameter than said tube and has its ends overlapping, whereby fabrication of the mouthpiece is simplified.
3. A method of making an anti-snore mouthpiece con sisting in the following steps: providing two, similar ovate panels and centrally aperturing one of them; peripherally securing said panels together; turning the secured panels inside out; inserting a spring wire loop into a tube in the form of a closed loop, and inserting this tube with the spring wire therein into the channel between the panels so that the wire loop supports said panels; and securing the panels together along a line inside said tube.

Product description
This is an ancient "Egyptian Book of the Dead" papyrus, reproduced in its entire length as a pullout illustration. The whole papyrus published for the first time in its original continuous form. It takes children up close to a real "Egyptian Book of the Dead". Hunefers papyrus includes beautiful and detailed coloured pictures of scenes from the afterlife Ideal for children studying Ancient Egypt at school. It is published to accompany a major British Museum exhibition (4 November 2010 6 March 2011). Hunefer was a Royal Scribe, who lived in Thebes in Egypt around 1280 BC. Like other ancient Egyptians, he hoped that when he died he would be admitted to a wonderful afterlife. But many dangers and obstacles could stop you from moving successfully between the land of the living and the land of the dead. The solution was to take with you a collection of magical spells (popularly known today as a "Book of the Dead"), which would give you special powers to overcome the trials and horrors you might encounter on your journey. The papyrus scroll reproduced as a pull-out in this little book contains Hunefers personal selection of spells and it was buried with him. The spells are written out in vertical lines of hieroglyphs and some are accompanied by beautiful painted scenes, illustrating various important stages that Hunefer must reach, including a final judgement, before enjoying an eternal life. The original papyrus is 39 cm tall and 5.5 m long. It now exists as eight separate sections rather than a continuous scroll. It is published here for the first time in the form that Hunefer knew over three thousand years ago. The pullout image is accompanied by a short introductory text. The Author Richard Parkinson is a curator of Egyptian antiquities at the British Museum.

Warm or Cool Mist humidifier
We are trying to decide whether or not to get a cool mist or warm mist humdifier. The reasearch I am doing - I am getting conflicting information. I thought I would ask "experienced parents" this question instead. So, what do you use?
I researched too, and here is what helped my decision.
The cool water ones make your room wet, literally, and they can grow mold, not good. The warm water ones evaporate instantly so there is no wetness on things and they actually get so hot, that mold can't live in them.
Also, I got a whole house humidifier installed in my furnace, and there it's heated too. Like if it's done there, then that must be a good pholosiphy(?), huh?
And I know you can add vapor medicines to the warm water ones, I don't think you can with the cold water ones, this can be kinda a plus to your child, they can get the effects of an opening air way medicine without actually having to ingest it.
I haven't done any research, but I have had some of each. Right now, we have a cool mist humidifier in our bedroom - and it does NOT make my room wet, and nothing is growing mold. The warm mist ones we've had DID make the room wet - and while I never saw any mold growing, I'm sure the risk was higher with them, because of the extra moisture.
The big difference is that our current humidifier (the cold mist one) has an ADJUSTABLE HUMIDISTAT built into it. I can program it to 55% humidity (or whatever level I choose), and leave it there - it comes on when it needs to, then shuts off when it reaches the appropriate humidity level.
Both of the warm mist humidifiers we had were not adjustable - so we'd turn them on at night, and wake up in the morning to damp sheets and windowsills drenched in water. If there was a risk of mold, it was because of TOO MUCH humidity in the air with those things!
Anyway - point is, whatever you get, get one that can automatically adjust to maintain a healthy level of humidity. Too much humidity in your air will create mold problems, regardless of the temperature of that humidity.
We have a cool mist humidifier. It sounds a lot like Liltingbelle's, in that you set the humidity level and it automatically turns itself on and off as needed. I had heard the opposite of River, as far as mold and such. Our pediatrician said just like in warm moist spots in your house, mold will grow much faster and easier than in a cool moist spot. We have not had a problem with DD's room being damp or anything. Also, the warm mist ones can burn a child if they decide to mess with it during the night. It is not an issue when they are babies, but once they are not in a crib, they could get to it. A cool mist one cannot burn them. The one we have is by Holmes, and was around $60 at Target. The mist runs through a nice filter that takes out any allergans and then produces a "mist". The mist is not really a mist though. It evaporates instantly. I also bought a bottle of this antibacteria stuff that you add like a capfull or two to the water. It helps keep the whole unit cleaner in between cleanings.
Kayla had a cold for about 6 weeks of her life. I was told by everyone to get a cool mist humidifier. After going back to work (pharmaceutical industry), I was told by numerous collegues to get a "warm mist vaporizer" for headcolds. The warming unit kills the "virus/bug" that causes the illness. Humidifiers do not. Actually, the bug gets sucked into the unit and can keep generating it.
We purchased an inexpensive vaporizer and she was fine within 2 days. What a huge difference.
For daily dryness, I would plug in the humidifier.

I am still confused. When Hemingway walked into El Floridita and was handed a glass, what would be in it and in what proportion?
In my glass at the moment is Mississippi punch.

I had not tasted a daiquiri in a while, but I have a lot of seldom used rum and a lot of limes. These were Embury's ratio, with Difford's suggestion of shaking with the lime peel:
I enjoyed them both. My only complaint is they warmed up a bit while waiting for the pictures. And I apologize for the hand held iPad photographs in front of the computer.

Well chalk it up to the sophisticated presentation and photo then! Looks very appetizing.

Chicken Run IIs Soggy and Nasty
I have been reading this forum for some time now. I bought six chicks this spring and love having them. I have a small coop and a 6 x 18' run. Ten feet of this run is covered with a tarp. The rest of the run has gotten really wet and soggy with all of the rain we have been having. I have been using pine shavings and they are great until it rains another inch or two. Now everything is a soggy nasty mess. I need advice from the "experts". What would be better to use to keep it from getting so bad? Do I need to remove everything down to the dirt?
I am in the process of building a bigger coop within the run. I am not allowed to free range the chickens due to local regulations. The pen has a wire top over it to keep predators out.
Any help with be appreciated.
If I had an outside pen, I think I would build an elevated wire walkway (platform if you may), one that the chickens can get under if they wanted to in nice weather, and above on the wire when it's wet. The chickens could stay dry on the wire, but I could remove bedding from underneath the wire when needed (3 feet high, maybe 4 feet wide so a hoe/shovel/pitchfork can reach).
The wire would have to be something of suitable size so feet don't get caught-or maybe even metal rods (think of a fireplace grill) so the feces can fall through. Come to think of it, if you know a welder a metal frame could easily be made from rebar per your instruction.
I think I would cover more of the run with a tarp, also, as they'll get plenty of sun shining under the tarp at varying parts of the day.
Here in Michigan there is clay, lots of clay. Slippery when wet, and if loose enough will suck your shoes of if not careful.
What seems to work the best is pelleted saw dust (used for bedding not burning). Keep adding in 1/2" layers until the problem is solved. It will dry out between rains. The hens love to scratch in it for bugs. Keep adding to it all years long and when it becomes loaded with too much chic-poo compost it for the garden.
Best of all, it looks nice and neat.
This past spring we had inches of rain and my husband put wood chips in the chicken pen.I didn"t think they helped much.We use shredded leaves in the coop.I raked up leaves that were not shredded.They helped a lot.I added more as each bunch got chopped up by the chickens along with small weeds like henbit and chickweed.That really helped.Posy Pet
In my coop I use washed sand. It is relatively inexpensive and you can have it delivered. I heavily sand the pen about once a year (3-5 inches deep), but several times a year I remove the top layer of sand with a flat blade shovel and compost it. It is very good to use in a pen with heavy ducks like Pekins as it cushions their feet. The hens will make wallows but it is easy to rake it smooth again. Hope this helps

Microsoft Letting Patents Move To Linux Firms 228

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Not quite. Saving Apple was (presumably) to help stave off the anti-trust suits against Microsoft by preserving a weak but "potentially credible" competitor.
There was no "save Apple" moment.
When MS invested millions of dollars in Apple, Apple had billions of dollars in the bank. The investment was merely a part of a settlement between Apple and MS that ended the lawsuits Apple had against MS, and for Microsoft's part, they had to buy some Apple stock and promise to keep selling Office for a number of years.
Eh, Apple's "billions of dollars in the bank" was basically Enron accounting, and that was reflected in the stock price. The Microsoft "investment" provided a serious boost for Apple in their times of dire need, and there is no need to pathetically try to rewrite history.
Unless you are one of those late 90s-era melon-headed downsies mac zealots who actually believed Apple was not in serious financial conditions. In that case a shithouse OS like MacOS 8 is exactly what you deserved.
Yeah it's if you publish an app through Group Policy.
I've actually used it to install software on my personal computer, but that was pre Win-2K
What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

MechWarrior 4 Free Release Now Available 151
from the long-strange-trip dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
First download their mtx client.
Then this site: http://www.pedaltothemetal.com/index.php/news_story/mechwarrior4_free_released.html [pedaltothemetal.com]
was nice enough to repost the torrent file which downloads the mtx that you can use the offline mode of the client to install.
The link is labeled: Downloadmechwarrior4mercenaries.all.to.51.03.01.0017.mtx.torrent
1073 Seeders / 2154 Peers
tracker runs on mektek.net
Note: The client runs crazy slow after install. First thing I do is click Offline Mode.
I didn't play a lot of multiplayer, but as far as Single Player goes, we must have played a different game. I remember MW4 and MW4:Black Knight as Nearly Perfect renditions of my fantasies of piloting giant robots, and MW4:Mercenaries as only a little worse than the previous MWx:Mercenaries was. (I didn't like that there were fewer non-plot missions to play.) The ONLY thing I disliked about MW4 was that the missions expected (and nearly "forced") you to upgrade 'mechs. Mercenaries was less in this direction, but I really enjoyed the dynamics of the Uziel, when it wasn't outclassed by assault 'mechs. Later on, I tried to stay in my Thor as long as possible, even though on the end missions it was almost certainly more effective to be using something like a Daishi loaded up with heat sinks and large lasers.
I loved the slot restrictions, as they forced each chassis to have a "flavor" -- otherwise, I'd do like I did in MW2, MW2:GhostBear, and MW3 and just load up on dual (triple?) PPCs and heat sinks up to my ears. I liked that a Thor vs a Madcat vs an Uziel vs a Catapult was more than merely a difference in tonnage or jump jets, but made an actual tactical difference.
Yeah, I submitted this Friday, but it's only now making it to the front page.
There's a new version of MTX (18.104.22.168) that doesn't require the web servers to be up:
http://mtxgear.mektek.net/mtx/beta/SetupMTX18.104.22.168.exe [mektek.net]
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with MekTek in any way. I've just been following the free release since I love the Mechwarrior series, namely MW2: Mercs.
I have to agree on the "sucks".
Good luck to MekTek, but I'll be trying this method [slashdot.org] for now.
Also, the slot restrictions were "canon" - they came out of the Solaris VII and Mechwarrior ("roleplaying game") sourcebooks, the same way that the weapon recharge times (otherwise you could fire a gauss rifle every round, period, same as a small laser) did. It was never intended for the tabletop game that a chassis would simply be "here's your tonnage, go nuts"; specific mechs were always supposed to have a flavor and that is important to the game.
Grab the torrent, get a client that supports DHT and peer finding. You'll find 8-10x the number of people, or goto ISOhunt, or goto usenet(a.b.games, and alt.b.games.old) it's been posted there as well.
Evidently, some over-eager moderator doesn't know much history [wikipedia.org].
Parent should be (slightly) Funny, not Troll.
CAPTCHA: "preempt".
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.

2009 Mazda Tribute i Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
We own a 2009 Tribute, and thought it was a really good car, until yesterday, 3.5 years after we bought it. I was out with my kids, the car went "ping--." A red light indicates "brake." I thought my parking brake was on, but it wasn't. The display says "check brake system." I tried to brake, there was no traction. The car kept going. I stepped on the brake all the way, still no traction.
I managed to roll the car back to our house.
I called Madzda and Mazda refuses to take responsilities and wants me to pay for checkup just because the car is "out of warranty." If we got killed yesterday, who'd pay for the checkup? Mazda refused to allow us to speak with management.

2009 Mazda Tribute i Sport 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I bought my Tribute with 7300 miles on it and I loved it. I traded it in with 35500 miles on it because the transmission had gotten really sluggish over the last 15000 and I was having problems with the breakes. It had been in the shop 5 times within the last 6 months and they still squeaked loudly. As far as the transmission I've read numorous reviews on the tribute/escape/mariner regarding the transmission issue and consumers needing new ones so i traded mine before it could give me problems. I loved the layout and the look of the vehicle. the 12v outlet in the back came out of its compartment and the one up front was loose. I got about 22-25 mpg city and 26-28 hwy.

2009 Mazda Tribute i Touring 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I bought my Tribute in June 2009 at Puerto Rico where drive conditions are rude and rush. So far my Tribute have 47000 miles and I just had to change the CV shaft, both of them. I drive an average of 50 miles daily and fuel usage is good, a fuel tank last almost 6 days.
Music system is great and interiors are really cool. Safety systems on the Tribute are reliable.

I have this SUV for more than a year now and i am very happy with it. Very reliable in any conditions. Roomy enough to go around and do some winter and summer activities out in the woods. Original tires are Michelin and they are great.I choose this one over ford's only due to looks. Did not want the fake Bling bling shiny look. Front end is sportier looking.

2009 Mazda Tribute s Grand Touring 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
I had a 2001 Tribute with a V6 that was a gem. The new 2009 has all the goodies and is a fun ride. It performed very well on a 200 mile trip getting 25 mpg.The only fault I have,so far,is the use on black plastic trim used ont the center console and the placement of the center storage compartment. Compartment is very difficult to reach into because it is too far back from the driver. I only have 1,950 miles on the vehicle.
Read the full review
Bought the Tribute for me and my wife, it has been great, lots of cargo space, fuel economy is exceptional from the 4 cylinder; and it has lots of power considering the other models we looked at with comparable engines. We typically see 29-30 mpg on road trips in West Texas it is primarily flat so cannot speak much of hills but out here it is a great combination of function, fuel economy and style

Bought the Tribute rather than the Escape because of interior and exterior styling differences.Ford needs to upgrade both, as well as paint colors. So far so good with the 4 banger.

This vehicle is fun to drive. A lot of vehicle for the money. A lot of extras are standard like fog lamps, tire pressure monitor, rear window wiper,washer, defroster. Great AC!

I've had the Tribute for about a week now. So far I've noticed a few things that weren't right upon delivery. The driver's seat has a hole in the cloth, the grab bar on the passenger side has screw plugs that don't quite fit, and the paint job isn't perfect with globs and runs and bad orange peel on the rear hatch. None of this is a deal breaker though as this was purchased as a winter beater/cargo hauler to save my G35 Coupe and C300 from unnecessary wear and tear. Looked at Ford Escape, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Kia offerings. This vehicle was the best combination of features/value/fuel efficiency I could find. I look forward to many winters of pleasant AWD commutes with this vehicle.
Read the full review
My wife and I were drawn to the Tribute because it is the perfect size for our needs. Also, it does not look like all the other boring, round tubby things that pass for small SUVs. Most SUVs look alike and are hard to tell apart, but not the Tribute. The seats are comfy on my large rear end, the 7 speaker radio blasts Sirius satellite radio loud and clear, and the truck (not car-derivative) goes where I point it. The only negative is that the attractive front end is made of plastic. A bug strike can mar the finish of the chrome-plated plastic grill. Unfortunately, Mazda is changing the Tribute for 2010 so it'll look more Japanese. Bummer. There 'ya go.

Cinegames must mean they are longer, right?
Subject: General Tech | March 30, 2007 - 11:41 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Several of the game designers from Remedy have left to start their own game development studio, named Recoil. They will be announcing an original game sometime this year, and it will be a cinegame, essentially trying to capture the feel of a movie in a game. With Max Payne already under their belts, it seems likely that they will produce some interesting and original games. Read on at Wired.
ReadyBoost tested
Subject: General Tech | March 30, 2007 - 11:25 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
ExtremeMhz plugged a USB drive into a Vista machine, to find out what speed increase you get when using ReadyBoost. As it turns out, the only time you will feel it is on startup and when loading programs. As only managed to shave a few seconds off of the longest tasks, you may not even notice it then. It is very possible that a larger drive that they used would give you more benefit, so stick with larger than 512MB.

A step up from UV sensitive glasses, which can be fooled into darkening and lightening at inappropriate times by oddly angled UV rays or by being behind UV blocking glass, these change shade when you choose. A gel of organic oxides is sandwiched between two layers of electrochromic material. It uses a watch battery to apply voltage to change the transparency. The tint will stay without power for about 30 days, and you can expect 1000's of transitions before you need a new battery.&n

Police in Mexico City have started a new program that they hope will reduce certain areas reputation for violence. If you bring in a gun, the police will trade you for a new PC, as well as food or money. The idea seems like it could be attractive to hoodlums wanting to get their GTA fix; unless as The Inquirer points out, a bright one realizes that there is a different kind of trade that could be made.
