Need to repair drywall tape on ceiling and other ceiling paint ?s
We have a corner in the tray ceiling in our bedroom where the drywall tape is lifting just a tad. I have absolutely NO idea how to fix this prior to painting. It isn't really peeling, the corner has lifted just a bit. How do I repair this?
Also - do I use a flat on the ceiling? We're planning on painting the tray the same color as the ceiling.
I saw someone reference a method for painting ceilings Michael had described, but I wasn't able to find his post actually describing it. If anyone (or Michael himself!) could repost that, I would really appreciate it.
I would appreciate any ceiling painting tips as this is our first time doing a ceiling. Any special tools we should get? Techniques? Etc...
Hello Christine,
>> Pretty easy fix for the tape:
* Get a small tub of vinyl spackling compound or "joint cement".
* Gently lift the tape, and put just a tiny bit of "mud" onto the wall with a narrow putty knife. A thin "see-thru" layer is fine.
* Next, use a wider (4"-6") knife and spread an even layer on top of the tape to "set" the tape into the wall mud. Use LIGHT pressure at the wall-corner! Ya don't wanna tear into the corner tape.
* Object here is to have a seamless application of mud over this tape area. After it's dry, LIGHTLY "feather-sand" your patch with a 220-grit sanding sponge.
* Vacuum off the dust from area, prime (1 coat) and paint (2 coats!!).
The most common is FLAT on ceilings...usually because people don't want sheen from lamps, etc. on a ceiling. However, Eggshell is a nice choice too. Very subtle sheen (depending on brand!!).
TOOLS: Use the best brushes/roller-covers you can buy.
* Get a nice stiff roller-frame...$5-$10 for a good one.
* Buy/borrow a STIFF pole!! Painting overhead with a "bendy" pole/roller-frame is a PITA!
* Use a 3/4" or maybe 1" nap for popcorn ceilings...3/8" or 1/2" for smooth surfaces.

A unit for dispensing products in cream, liquid or powder form, comprising on a container (2) with a flexible bag or with a follower piston, a push button (8) forming a pump body sliding on a hollow piston (10) capable of being closed by a first valve (13), the outlet opening for the product in the push button (8) being provided with a second valve (25) that only opens in the dispensing direction of the product.
1. In a unit for dispensing at least one product, in particular, a cosmetic product, in cream, liquid or powder form, comprising:
(a) a variable volume container means,
(b) a dispensing head comprising at least one outlet duct for at least one product to be dispensed and a push button for actuating the dispensing of said at least one product,
the improvement comprising said dispensing head including a fixed tubular body communicating with said container means and having an end remote from said container means, said end being provided with a first valve openable upon the existence of excess pressure on the side of said valve nearer said container means;
said push button of said dispensing head forming a pump body wherein the fixed tubular body forming a piston is slidable in a portion of said push button in a leak proof manner, said push button including said one outlet duct for the product to be dispensed, said outlet duct having an outlet opening provided with a second valve which opens upon the presence of an excess of pressure inside said outlet duct relative to the exterior pressure, and biasing means being provided between a portion of said fixed tubular body and a part of said push button,
said second valve including a first portion made of elastically deformable material and a second portion which together with said first portion defines a section of said outlet duct, said section having one end in flow communication with said first valve and an opposite end closed by said second valve, said first portion being sufficiently flexible so as to move away from said second portion upon the pressure of the product accumulating in said outlet duct, said dispensing head including a constraint member tending to maintain said second valve in a closed position, said second valve comprising a lip on said second portion which is movable transversely away from said first portion to allow product to move therebetween when being dispensed.
2. A dispensing unit according to claim 1 wherein said first valve is a non-return valve comprising one of a pivoting flap valve and a ball valve.
3. A dispensing unit according to claim 1, wherein there is a seal between the tubular body forming the piston, and the push button forming the pump body; and wherein said first valve is integral with said seal.
4. A dispensing unit according to claim 1, wherein said unit includes a cap which is molded in a single piece with a cylindrical skirt which laterally delimits the pump body which constitutes the push button.
The present invention concerns a unit for dispensing at least one product, in particular a cosmetic product, in cream, liquid or powder form.
There are numerous dispensing units which comprise a container of the product to be dispensed whereon there is fixed a dispensing head in a detachable or nondetachable way. Depending on the number of products to be dispensed, the dispensing head may contain one or several ducts for dispensing the product.
When there are several products to be dispensed the container can, in the known way, comprise several portions which are either constituted by several independent receptacles or divided by internal partitions into compartments, each of the containers or compartments being connected to a duct of the same dispensing head.
The dispensing head may also contain a compartment for a product different from that in the container, this compartment being connected to the duct for dispensing the product contained in the container or to a different duct.
It is also known to use containers constituted by a tube or a flexible bag wherein a vacuum is gradually formed in the course of the dispensing, or containers containing a follower piston which rises progressively in the container towards the dispensing opening as the product is being dispensed, the dispensing head having no air inlet.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dispensing head forming a self-priming pump without an air inlet, comprising on the one hand a tubular body carrying a first valve that is closed during the dispensing of the product and forms a piston, and on the other hand a push button that slides on the piston forming a pump body and is provided with a second valve opening under the pressure of the product to be dispensed.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a unit for dispensing at least one product, in particular a cosmetic product, in cream, liquid or powder form, comprising on the one hand, a flexible container or one provided with a follower piston, and on the other hand a dispensing head comprising at least one outlet duct for the product to be dispensed and a push button for actuating the dispensing of the said product.
According the invention provides a unit for dispensing at least one product, in particular a cosmetic product, in cream, liquid or powder form, comprising on the one hand, a flexible container or one provided with a follower piston, and on the other hand a dispensing head comprising at least one outlet duct for the product to be dispensed and a push button for actuating the dispensing of the said product, wherein the dispensing head comprises a fixed tubular body communicating with the container and provided at its opposite end to the container with a first valve that only opens if there is a relative excess pressure on the container side, the push button of the said head forming a pump body wherein the tubular body constituting the piston of the pump slides in a leakproof manner, the push button containing at least one outlet duct for the product to be dispensed provided at its outlet opening with a second valve that only opens if there obtains a relative excess pressure inside the duct as compared to the outside, restoring means being disposed between a fixed part integral with the tubular body, and movable part integral with the push button.
The second valve may be any valve, opening only in the dispensing direction.
In one embodiment, the second vale is a cup valve constituted by two coaxial caps assembled by nesting, the first cap disposed on the container side being of a relatively rigid material and the second cap disposed towards the outside being of a resilient material, the two caps being provided with openings disposed in coaxial circles, the first cap comprising a first outwardly turned cylindrical skirt surrounding the set of openings of the first cap and the second cap comprising a second cylindrical skirt turned toward the container, surrounded by the openings of the second cap and being capable of being fitted into said first skirt so as to close the communication between the openings of the first and second caps when the product is not being dispensed, it being possible for the communication between the openings to be established by elastic deformation of the second cap under pressure from the product during the displacement of the push button towards the container, the second skirt returning to fit into the first skirt when the pressure of the product stops.
In another embodiment, the second valve is constituted by the closing system of a dispensing assembly disclosed in a U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/556,546, filed July 24, 1990 and entitled "Dispensing Assembly for at least One Fluid Product, in particular Cosmetic or Pharmaceutical". Such a closing system is formed by an obturator which forms a part of the dispensing head of elastically deformable material, and by a seating which is another part of the dispensing head, the obturator (i) being in sealing contact with the associated seating while there is no dispensing, (ii) separating from said seating by elastic deformation under the pressure of the product to be dispensed and (iii) coming back into contact with the seating by elasticity, the obturator being subjected to the action of a constraint member having a tendency hold it applied against the seating with which is cooperates.
The elastically deformable material constituting the obturator is preferably a natural or synthetic elastomer. The elastomers which can be utilised include, for example, styrene-butadiene copolymers, nitrile rubbers, polychloroprene or neoprene, EPDM rubber, polyurethanes, silicone rubber and ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers. Advantageously the obturator is constituted by an elastically deformable lip forming part of a strip of elastically deformable material. The zone of contact between said lip and the seating may be constituted by a planar portion which has, for example, the form of a rectangle; the strip may slightly overlap the seating so as to form a spatula for the direct application of the product dispensed onto a surface, in particular on the skin in the case of a cosmetic product.
The seating may be either of rigid material or of elastically deformable material; in the latter case the part comprising the seating may be a second strip of elastic material, substantially parallel to the strip carrying the lip.
In the case where the obturator comprises a lip which forms part of a strip of elastically deformable material, the constraint member may be constituted by a rigid element maintaining said piece of elastically deformable material just at the edge of the lip; it may also cooperate with said piece of plastic material by a system of ribs/grooves or by pushing with an appropriate surface against an excess thickness of the strip.
The first valve may be of any type since it only opens when there is a relative excess pressure on the container side. For example it may be a non-return valve which comprises either a pivoting flap or a ball.
Preferably the first valve is fixed to the seal arranged between the tubular body and the push button forming the body of the pump.
The biasing means outside the tubular body is preferably a compression spring.
Preferably, the tubular body is disposed on a plate, which may serve to secure the flexible bag or to close the container with a follower piston containing the product to be dispensed. This plate may carry a cylindrical wall coaxial with the tubular body and surrounding the latter. The biasing means abuts the free edge of this cylindrical wall.
Preferably, the push button comprises a cylindrical skirt sliding outside the tubular body and a cylindrical part sliding outside the cylindrical wall of the plate whereon the tubular body is disposed, the edges of the skirt and of the cylindrical part being joined by a flat surface against which the biasing means abuts. In a variant, the cylindrical skirt and the cap, which is adjacent to it, are moulded as a single piece.
The dispensing head is preferably covered by a protective cap during storage.
The inventive dispensing unit functions as follows:
The user depresses the push button sliding in the tubular body, the first valve coming to close the tubular body which may then act like a piston. The compressed product then causes the second valve to open and it is dispensed towards the outside while the push button is being moved. When the user stops exerting pressure on the push button, the biasing means returns the push button into the storage position and the second valve is closed; low pressure is created inside the push button which causes the first valve to open and some of the product contained in the container to be dispensed to be drawn up into the space constituted at least partly, by the push button forming the pump body.
In order that the invention may more readily be understood two embodiments thereof, represented in the attached drawings, will now be described below on a purely illustrative and non-restrictive basis.
FIG. 1 is an axial section of a first embodiment of the dispensing unit according to the invention;
FIG. 1a is an axial cross-section of a variant of the dispensing head of this first embodiment.
FIG. 1b is an axial section of another variant of the dispensing head of this first embodiment;
FIG. 2 is an axial section view of a second embodiment of the dispensing unit according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is an exploded view in perspective of the second valve of the dispensing unit of FIG. 2.
In the embodiment represented in FIG. 1, the dispensing unit is designated by 1. It comprises a flexible tube 2 whereon there is fixed a dispensing head designated by 3 as a whole. The flexible tube 2 is protected by a rigid shell 4 provided with a cap 5 that protects the dispensing head 3. The flexible tube 2 is provided with a neck 6 which has an external screw thread 7.
The dispensing head comprises a push button 8 and a plate 9 fixed to the edge of the rigid shell 4 carrying at its center a tubular body 10 forming a piston.
The push button 8 comprises a cylindrical part 11 provided, part way up, with a beak 12 forming a lateral extension the cylindrical part 11 is closed by a transverse wall 17 from which the beak 12 extends. On the transverse wall 17 rests an elastic strip 13 comprising a bevel whose end forms the lip 14. The edge of the beak 12 carried a rib 15 forming the seating. The lip 14 and the rib 15 of the beak constitute a valve 25 which only opens when the product is flowing in the dispensing direction. The elastic strip 13 is covered, except in the vicinity of the lip 14, by a rigid cover 16 forming a constraint member and fixed to the cylindrical part 11.
The beak 12 extends radially from the transverse wall 17 forming the top of the cylindrical part 11. The top comprises in its central zone an outlet opening for the product. This opening issues into a hollow duct 18 in the transverse wall 17 and in the beak 12. The duct 18 opens to the outside through an opening provided by the lip 14 and the bead 15.
The push button 8 comprises a skirt 19 coaxial with the cylindrical part 11 and situated radially inwardly thereof. A compression spring 20 is disposed in the annular space surrounding the skirt 19 and bears on the transverse wall 17.
The push button 8 is slidably mounted on the tubular body 10 provided at the center of the plate 9. The plate 9 is circular and is fixed by catch engagement to the edge of the rigid shell 4. Fixed on the upper edge of the tubular body 10 is a valve 21 comprising a pivoting flap 21a which is formed by molding integrally with a sleeve having one end which the flap can obturate. The sleeve surrounds the upper portion of the tubular body 10 so that the flap 21 can form a valve closing the end of the tubular body. The sleeve carried two sealing lips 21b on its outside bearing on the inner surface of the skirt 19. Thus, an internal space is defined between the flap 21a and the transverse wall 17 which space is reduced when the spring 20 is compressed.
A cylindrical wall 22 coaxial with the tubular body 10 and integral with the plate 9 surrounds the tubular body 10 over a fraction of its length. The spring 20 tends to move the push button away from the plate 9, the maximum separation being defined by the cooperation of two annular end beads respectively carried by the cylindrical part 11 and the cylindrical wall 22. The cylindrical wall 22 is extended on the opposite side to the plate 9 so as to form an internally threaded sleeve 23 into which the neck 6 of the flexible tube 2 may be screwed. An extension 23a of the tubular body 10 is arranged on the side of the plate 9 away from the tubular body. This extension is provided to enter with slight friction into the neck 6 of the tube 2 in order to ensure its centering. Provision is made for an air intake 24 in the bottom of the rigid steel.
The dispensing unit 1 functions as follows:
When the cap 5 has been removed, the user may compress the spring 20 by depressing the cover 16 of the push button 8, which produces a reduction of the space E, the compression of the product therein, the closing of the valve 21, and finally the emergence of the product contained in the duct 18 and in the internal space E of the push button 8 through the valve 25 formed by the lip 14 and the bead 15 of the beak 12. The tubular body 10 closed by the valve 21 has acted as a piston to ensure the dispensing.
When the user stops exerting any pressure on the push button 8, this spring 20 restores the push button 8 towards the high position in FIG. 1, which produces low pressure in the space E and produces the opening of the valve 21 and a transfer of the product between the tube 2 and the internal space E of the push button forming the pump body.
It will be seen that in this embodiment, the spring 20 is located outside the product during all the storage and dispensing stages, which avoids any contact with the dispensed product and therefore any pollution. Moreover, the dispensing head 3 forms a self-priming pump without any take-up of air, so the product to be dispensed is never in contact with air before being dispensed.
FIG. 1a shows a dispensing head 1503 analogous to that shown in FIG. 1, which comprises a push button 1508 with a lateral exit, forming the pump body; this push button 1508 slides on a hollow piston 1513, carrying a flap valve 1514 so as to change the volume of the internal space E of the push button 1508. The rigid cover 1506 forms a constraint member; it is provided with an opening 1561 and, in the opening, the strip 1505 is narrowed at 1551. This arrangement permits the strip 1505 to be pierced in its narrowed zone 1551 by means of a Hypodermic needle; due to this arrangement, it is possible to expel the air contained in the space E and to suck the product from the container 1502. One may thus prime the pump system without contaminating the closing system F. One may equally introduce a purge gas.
FIG. 1b is an illustration of the embodiment of FIG. 1 but showing a ball 21b as the valve member in place of the pivotable flap 21a of FIG. 1. In all other respects, the embodiment of FIG. 1b is identical to that of FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the dispensing unit in accordance with the invention. This embodiment comprises as the second valve a cup valve to be described below. The dispensing unit is designated by 101 as a whole. It comprises a container 102 whereon there is fixed a dispensing head 103. The container 102 contains a follower piston 104 and its bottom is provided with an air intake opening 124. The dispensing head 103 may be protected by a cap 105 fixed by catch engagement on the container 102.
The dispensing head 103 consists of a movable push button 108 and a transverse plate 109 carrying a tubular body 110 forming a piston. The transverse plane 109 forms the upper side of the container, and it carried a cylindrical wall 122 surrounding the tubular body 110 over a portion of its length.
A first valve 121 comprising a pivoting flap 121a is fixed on the end of the tubular body 110 remote from the plate 109; this valve is integrally molded with a sleeve fixed on the end of the tubular body 110; its structure and mounting are the same as in the case of the valve 21. The sleeve is provided with sealing lips 121b bearing on the internal surface of the skirt 119.
The movable push button 108 comprises a cylindrical part 111 laterally provided with two radial extensions 112 serving as bearing surfaces for the fingers of the user. In its upper portion, the cylindrical part 111 comprises a transverse wall whose central zone is cut out and is surrounded by an annular flange 131. The second valve 113 of the dispensing head is positioned in the zone delimited by the flange 131 and is applied against the flange 131 by the annular washer 117 arranged at one of the ends of a cylindrical skirt 119. The relative centering of the valve 113 and the skirt 119 is ensured by a circular rib 127 provided on the washer 117 which cooperates with a groove 126 arranged on one of the parts of the valve 113. A helical spring 120 bears on the end bead of the cylindrical wall 122, and the bead cooperates with a complementary bead of the cylindrical part 111 for limiting the travel of the push button in the direction of the action exerted by the spring 120. The spring 120 is disposed in the annular space between the cylindrical part 111 and the skirt 119 and it bears on one side against washer 117 and on the other side against the end bead of the cylindrical wall 122. Thus the spring 120 maintains the valve 113 in bearing contact against the flange 131.
The valve 113 consists of two caps 114 and 115 nested one in the other, the lower cap 114 being made of a relatively rigid plastic material and the cap 115 being made of a flexible plastic material. The cap 114 comprises a first flange 125 provided on its side nearer the container with a circular groove 126. This flange 125 is joined to a cylindrical wall 128 containing a transverse disc 129 fixed to the internal surface of the said wall 128. The disc 129 is pierced by openings 130 disposed in a circle near the periphery of the disc 129. Provision is made from a wall 128 to facilitate the fixing by nesting of the second cap on the first cap. The cap 115 made of a flexible material comprises a circular flange 132 which bears on the circular flange 125 of the cap 114. A substantially conical surface 133 extends from the flange 132 and is closed by a pan 134 provided with a flat bottom 135. Openings 136 are arranged at the transition between the conical surface 133 and the pan portion 134. The flat bottom 135 of the pan 134 is provided over its periphery with a skirt 137 which is capable of being inserted with slight friction inside the cylindrical wall 128.
The device functions in the manner described below:
When the cap 105 has been removed, the user presses on the radial extensions 112 of the push button 108. The spring 120 is compressed. The cylindrical part 111 of the push button slides on the cylindrical wall 122, and the skirt 119 slides on the tubular body 110. Simultaneously, the valve 121 is closed. The tubular body 110 carrying the closed valve 121 acts like a piston and exerts pressure on the product contained in the volume E comprised between the valve 121, the skirt 119 and the valve 113. The product passes through the openings 130 of the rigid cap 114 and deforms the flexible 115 cap material by pushing in particular on the its disc 135. This deformation forms a passage between the skirt 137 of the cap 115 and the wall 128 of the cap 114. The product can then emerge through the openings 136 of the flexible cap 115.
When the user releases pressure on the push button 108, the biasing spring 120 returns the push button into the high position (see FIG. 2). The volume E increases and creates a pressure reduction. In the valve 113, the cap 115 returns into position on the cup 114, and closes the communication between the openings 130 and 136. The valve 121 opens, and a quantity of the product contained in the container 102 is drawn up into the volume E of the push button through the tubular body 110. Simultaneously, the follower piston rises towards the dispensing head in the container 102.

Ott Lite... anybody familiar with them?
I came across this product at Home Depot. It is only 13 Watts, but supposedly good on the spectruam end of things for plants. Here's piece about it, from the website I Googled:
Planting the Seed
[quote]Houseplants are attractive, fruitful and constantly changing decorations that add softness and provide you with a touch of nature, indoors. However, because plants use light to produce sugars, starches and other substances needed, inadequate lighting will limit their evolution. WeÂve got a solution  OTT-LITE® Natural Light Supplement products. Without burning leaves or blooms, or drying out soil, these specially formulated lamps give you the benefit of natural daylight indoors without the damaging heat. Only Mother Nature knows the difference.

"We have been using OTT-LITE® (TrueColor lamps) in our plant growth laboratory for nearly 10 years now  OTT-LITE® (TrueColor lamps) are a must for healthy growth of all indoor plants!"
Gary D. Campbell, Laboratory Manager, AgriEnergy Resources
"Within two weeks of using the plant grow lamp it was obvious that even with one tube tied behind its back, the OTT-LITE® (lighting) clobbered the competition by growing nearly twice the size in the same time under the same overall conditions."
Peter Benjamin of The Nursery News[/quote]
Anybody familiar with it?
Their description only indicates that the light produces 840 lumens and is equivalent to a 75 watt incandescent. Since it costs 16 bucks I would think that the more efficient option would be a regular florescent 40 watt shop light tube at 3000 lumens each.
Yeah...I have two of the ott lights...I jumped the gun if you will. I found you can get an 85w 5000k light for just under $30 and buy a clamp base at home depot apparently for around 9.00. I think I wish i would have not gotten the ott light. oh well.
I bought an OTT or 2 last winter. Too expensive for what is delivered. Better off with aPphilips cool and daylight combo (6$ for 3 pack). I had to call the OTT company for specs as they were not on the box. They were clueless. They don't last very long either.
I get my cfl bulbs at the link below. I like these guys. They are cheap friendly. well packed. I had one fritz on me, the fedex'ed me another right away. I use the 5100K 42's and the 5000K 85's. My plants took off like rockets!
Honestly, I cringe at tubes now. They are more expensive to run too but I grow more than 200 plants. Neccessary evil in z-5. I use the cfls & tubes together . (4 tubes and 2 cfls shot in from the ends or from the front) when I have to instead of overdriving. Even with 23 W cfl's, It delivers about double the "sun power" in that config.

Glasses Malone - Haters ft. Lil' Wayne & Birdman
Artist: Glasses Malone
Featuring: Lil Wayne, Baby aka Birdman
Producer: F.O.C.
Album: Beach Cruiser
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 42 votes )
Having found tremendous success on the mixtape circuit with White Lightning (Sticks) and The Crack Mixtape, Los Angeles rapper Glasses Malone will finally release his long-delayed debut LP, titled Beach Cruiser, this fall. Haters, likely the album's second single, is a furious, up-tempo banger produced by F.O.C.. While Glasses Malone certainly holds his own among veterans Birdman and Lil' Wayne, the highlight of Haters is Wayne's middle verse. Apart from refreshingly returning to the hiccuping delivery that we had all grown to love before his recent experimentation with the T-Pain-esque vocoder, his lyrics ingeniously bounce between everything from Sasquatch to Tupac. It's good to have you back, Weezy.

Can I plant in manure?
Each year I plant my Summer veggies into horse manure and it goes beautifully. Usually the manure is 6 months or so old but not necessarily composted. I let it build up on 5 acres or so, then go gather up what I need. It works! And by the end of summer it's totally broken down into the soil and each year the garden gets better. Ringing endorsement for organic matter right there.
But this year I lolly gagged on getting outside to work some beds I planned on using for grapes. When I moved in here the beds (which are lined in cement edging and border a cyclone fence) were overrun with weeds, rescues, and rose bushes as well as some invasive vines. I dug it all out plus the top 8 inches of soil and layered in chicken, goat, and horse manure. I really should have done this BEFORE winter. But I didn't. I'm doing it right now.
The grape vines are schedule to arrive next week. Go me! Procrastination is not my friend.
That's the back story. I know I can grow annual veggies in manure without much issue. But can I plant grape vines in there? Can anyone think of a problem with planting into the aged manure tilled in with my native sandy loam? As the manure breaks down will any portion of that process damage the roots?
Thanks for any and all info!
I've done the same with horse manure - gone out to the pasture in the spring and collected the old piles for my perennial beds.
I see no reason why this manure will harm grape vines. My perennials didn't complain. I did spend some time burying the 'road apples' so as not to offend my 'city' friends! LOL
I'm sure this old horse manure doesn't have the same value as it would if it had been composted when fresh. When it has sat for at least 6 months over winter with snow and rain happening the nutrients will be somewhat leached out. However it's organic matter and improves my perennial beds.
BTW I consider procrastination to be a good acquaintance of mine - never friends but we have spent a lot of time together! LOL
The good news is, the horses always "go" in one spot. Bad news is it's RIGHT infront of the run-in! But, it piles up, stays wet, and breaks down nicely once you get a few inches down. So, it's not so dried out and aged that it has lost too much nutrients. But I worry about "burns" which I suppose are really associated with chemically based fertilizers that I don't even use lol
Procrastination and I...we've spent a lot of time together. Usually online. Ya know.
Glad to hear it shouldn't hurt anything. It was a lot of work to get about 150 feet (by 4 feet deep beds) prepared in the way I did. And boy am I ever excited to grow those grapes!
You can, and possibly any disease pathogens that manure might have contained may be rendered inactive in the 6 months it sat around. My grandfathers and uncles that were farmers before WWII knew better then to plant crops in animal manures and always made sure to till them in before planting.

beds very confortable, clean, modern, helpful staff, excellently located in the heart of the Marais, I will return there next time I come to Paris, I've been upgraded to a superior room with no extra fee, great service - Anonymous
Location is excellent, many top destination are in walking distance such as notredame, muse du louvre etc, metro is the next door. Staff are quite informative and helpfull. TV channel was ok, Bathroom was clean, washing machine was working, in short we were comfortable to stay there. - Anonymous
the location was incredible. the hotel was clean, very pretty and quaint, and the rooms and bathroom were a good size considering other hotels in Paris. We had enough room for two large suitcases and were still able to walk around vry comfortably in our room. The view from our balcony was of Hotel de Ville. I cannot stress enough on the amazing location this hotel was in! - Anonymous
Our stay was like a dream come true. We loved the old paintings, spiral
stairs, velvet, exposed beams and historical ambiance. The location is
amazing--just steps away from Centre Pompidou. Norte Dame is also very
near and makes a great nighttime stroll. We didn't opt for
breakfast, but Julian patisserie was right out front and had the best
pastry, baguettes, and coffee we had on our whole trip. Also, the staff
was incredibly charming, funny and good-natured. - Anonymous
The hotel was centrally located in Paris. The metro was about a block or two away and we could also walk to the Louvre, Centre Pompidou and Notre Dame. - Anonymous

WBO cruiserweight champion Marco "Captain" Huck (29-1, 22 KOs) and challenger Matt Godfrey (20-1, 10 KOs) today participated in an open media work-out in front of more than 500 fans in Erfurt, Germany. Captain Huck is determined to defend his title for a fourth time on Saturday night. "My fans love my aggressiveness and explosiveness and I will make sure Matt Godfrey will get a good taste of it," Huck said. "I am just too explosive for him. The belt stays in Germany. I want to put on another spectacular performance and defeat Godfrey in style."
Even though Godfrey has left Ulli Wegner guessing in what stance he will fight, the German star coach said it does not matter. "I have prepared Marco for both a southpaw as well as an orthodox stance," he stated. "Even if Godfrey intends to switch, it will not be a problem. Marco has worked hard in practice. If he listens to his corner, he will defend his title with another great victory." For more details and photos click here…
Berto to defy WBC order?
Looks like the team of WBC welterweight world champion Andre Berto may bypass Berto's WBC-ordered mandatory against WBC Silver champion Selcuk Aydin. "I talked to HBO and I heard that [Berto's promoter Lou DiBella] doesn't want Berto to face Aydin and is working on other opponents," said Aydin's promoter Ahmet Öner. "But in boxing you can't always get what you want. We are talking about a mandatory fight here. The WBC has ordered the fight and the reigning and defending champion should respect this decision. Of course, I understand that as a promoter DiBella is looking to protect his fighter and give him an easy win against an opponent with a good reputation. But this is not a problem of HBO being interested in the fight or not. It's not my problem that Berto isn't big enough of a star in the US that the general interest in his fights depends on the opponents. If Berto alone isn't interesting enough for HBO we can easily do the fight in Turkey. Nobody cares about Berto there but TV and fans care enough about Selcuk Aydin to pay good money for the fight. We can make an offer to Berto and DiBella today to fight in Trabzon which guarantees him probably more money than he'll ever get from HBO. The WBC is not called World Boxing Council for nothing. There is no rule that championship fights including US fighters have to be in America."

The LA Times is reporting that "a source close to site negotiations" has confirmed that the November 13 Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito clash will take place in Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Sexton: Rocky can't help Chisora

And the Rocky actor gave him his full support ahead of his fight with Sexton. But the Commonwealth champion has hit back at his domestic rival. (more…)
FNF winding down for 2010
By Karl Freitag
No more ESPN2 Friday Night Fights scheduled for this year that actually take place on a Friday night. This week's ESPN2 show will be a Wednesday boxing telecast featuring jr middleweight Erislandy Lara against Willie Lee. The final show of the "boxing season" as ESPN likes to call it, will be on Saturday August 28 from Montreal. That card is seeking a new main event after hot middleweight David Lemieux (23-0, 22 KOs) had to pull out with an injury. There may be some FNF special telecasts cropping up on occasion until the weekly boxing series returns in January.
Luckily fight fans will still have plenty of boxing on Friday nights with SHOWTIME's popular ShoBox series, TeleFutura's weekly Solo Boxeo series and Telemundo's Boxeo Telemundo.

The baddest man on the planet, UFC® heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, is back in the main event for UFC 121, and unbeaten Cain Velasquez is looking to take his belt and become the first man to knock him out. Lesnar proved he had beaten the severe illness that kept him sidelined for a year by withstanding the onslaught by Shane Carwin at UFC 116 and defending his heavyweight title with a slick submission in the second round. His opponent at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on October 23, 2010, Cain Velasquez, has already made short work out of the heavyweight division and he promises to make the most of his first shot at the title.

Jones to lose WBA title?
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Current WBA cruiserweight world champion Guillermo "Felino" Jones of Panama could soon be stripped of his crown. Jones won the title in September 2008 and has yet to defend. The WBA World Championships Committee is expected to vacate the belt shortly, thereby opening the door to challengers in the division that desire to fight. "We have been flexible with Jones," said WBA President Gilberto Mendoza. "It's sad, but the moment to decide has arrived. He couldn't have expected more."

Couture-Toney about fighters
Story by Chris Cozzone
It may be billed as a showdown of two sports – boxing vs. mixed martial arts – but at least one of the principals involved doesn't see it that way.
"There's nothing riding on this with the sport," says UFC legend Randy Couture, who is matched up against former boxing champion James "Lights Out" Toney in the co-main of UFC 118, August 28 on Pay-Per-View . . . Click here for more

Excerpts from recent Wisconsin editorials
As a result, in 2011, property taxes claimed 4.5 percent of the average Wisconsin homeowner's income, compared with 3.6 percent nationwide. Our state income tax in 2011 took another 2.9 percent, again higher than the national average of 2.3 percent. Our sales tax took 2 percent of income, below the national average of 2.4 percent. Other taxes here claimed 2.2 percent of average personal income in 2011, compared with 2.5 percent nationally.
Combined, in 2011, state and local taxes claimed 11.6 percent of Wisconsinites' personal income, compared with 10.8 percent nationally.
A couple of factors should be considered. First, Wisconsin's public employee retirement system is one of the most solvent and best managed in the country. Other states whose tax burden is lower may look better on paper, but an underfunded pension system is going to catch up with them.
Past talk of shifting property taxes elsewhere has led in a circle. Sales tax is provably the most regressive, hitting lower-income folks the hardest. The income tax seems the truest measure of ability to pay and can be graduated to give a break to those with lower-paying jobs, but too-high income taxes can drive rich people out.
No matter where government revenues come from, the best policy is for citizens to press their elected representatives to operate government as efficiently as possible to help ensure all tax dollars are spent wisely.
Appleton Post-Crescent, July 9
EPA coal rule is needed step
There's more than one reason to wean the nation from coal-fueled energy.
Coal produces carbon dioxide emissions, which harm our environment and, as a result, our health. And, coal isn't going to last forever.
So, it's better for the United States if we're a leader in making the transition away from coal — if we're more proactive than reactive. There are some who say we're already in the position of being reactive.
Whatever perspective you prefer, the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule about coal emissions is a needed step.
The proposal would require states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants by as much as 30 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
That "compared to 2005 levels" is important because emissions have already been reduced 15 percent since then, so the power industry is already halfway to the goal — and will get another 15 years, if the proposal is finalized, to get there.
The EPA proposal will give each state a year to come up with its implementation plan. It also gives states much flexibility about how they achieve the reductions. That should help those states that are more dependent on the coal industry for jobs, though there's more that the Obama administration needs to do to help those states' economy.
Will it cost money and lead to higher electric bills? Probably, but as the Washington Post reports, the American Wind Energy Association notes that consumer costs declined in the last five years in the 11 states that use the most wind energy.
And, energy cost increases will be more than made up for with lower health care cost increases as rates of asthma, lung diseases and heart attacks will decrease. The EPA estimates the nation will see $7 in lower health costs for every $1 in higher energy costs.
For all the rancor about the EPA's proposal, there's an equally compelling argument that it doesn't go far enough.
What's true is that we can't go on as we have been. We have to change. This plan, as imperfect as it may be, takes us in the right direction.

(Getty Images)A parent of a Texas high school football player whose team ended up on the wrong end of a 91-0 rout has filed a bullying report against the winning team's head coach, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.Aledo coach Tim Buchanan said he received notice that a bullying report had been filed against him by a parent of an opposing player following the Bearcats' 91-0 win over Fort Worth Western Hills on Friday.Aledo, a three-time Class 4A state champion, is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press statewide poll. The Bearcats have outscored their opponents by an average of 77 points in each of their four district games, including 84-7 wins over Fort Worth Arlington Heights and Fort Worth Wyatt.SI WIRE: High school football referees arrested during gameBuchanan told the Star-Telegram the margins of victory are troublesome for him and his coaching staff."I'm upset about it," Buchanan said. "I don't like it. I sit there the whole third and fourth quarter and try to think how I can keep us from scoring."Aledo rushed for 391 yards and eight touchdowns against Western Hills. One running back scored four touchdowns on four carries. Aledo quarterbacks attempted just 10 passes. Aledo also dominated Western Hills in special teams play, with one player returning consecutive punt returns for touchdowns.Buchanan told the Star-Telegram he removed his offensive starters after 21 plays and both teams agreed to use a running clock in the second half.It's believed to be the first time a bullying report has been filed involving a Texas high school football game.SI WIRE: Ohio high school football player suspended for poem criticizing coachFrom the Star-Telegram:By state law, Aledo and all school districts must provide a bullying report form on their website. Aledo's principal has to investigate the allegations reported and prepare a written report of the investigation, determining whether bullying occurred. Buchanan said he has the support of the Aledo administration. But he didn't dismiss the serious nature of the report."I have to address it," Buchanan said. "It's not something you can laugh off or anything like that. What they said was that I should've told my players to ease up and not play so hard."Western Hills coach John Naylor told the Star-Telegram on Sunday that he was unaware of the report, and disagreed with the allegations. His team entered the Aledo game outmanned, dressing about 30 varsity players."I think the game was handled fine," Naylor said. "They're No. 1 for a reason, and I know coach Buchanan. We're fighting a real uphill battle right now."LAKE: Race and recollection still frame a H.S. football player's death 40 years later Promoted Stories Comments

1939 - 2014 |
Lyla J. Rodgers, 74, of Hillsdale passed away peacefully at home Saturday morning, February 8, 2014, after a courageous two year battle with lymphoma. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and community.
Lyla was born May 4, 1939 in Traverse City, Michigan. She grew up on a farm on the Old Mission Peninsula, where she spent many summers helping in the orchards with her father Albert and mother Helen, as well as her siblings Stan, Maxine and Joyce.
Lyla attended Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, where she met her husband Norm. The couple married September 19, 1958 and then they went on to attend
Michigan State University
, where Lyla was accepted into the Honors College of MSU.
After college, Lyla and Norm settled in the Detroit area where both children, Rick and Noelle, were born. She taught in the Detroit public school system and forged lifelong friendships through her church and community that she treasured.
In 1973, the family moved to Cadillac in northern Michigan where she enjoyed activities in the community, such as the Cadillac Philharmonic Club, playing tennis and skiing. She also started a part-time career in Mary Kay Cosmetics and became a Sales Director.
In 1983, Lyla and Norm moved to Hillsdale, Michigan. With her love of music, Lyla soon became a member of the Hillsdale Arts Chorale. She loved being a part of the chorale, and continued to contribute her beautiful soprano voice for over 20 years. She also joined the Chorale on a special trip to England in the spring of 2000. The group travelled to London and Wales and shared their music wherever they went. She also was an active member of the Hillsdale Garden Club, the Hillsdale Women's Club and was a member of the board of the Women Commissioners of Hillsdale College.
While in Hillsdale, she also sold residential Real Estate and then went on to start a career in Antiques. She loved going to auctions, estate sales and garage sales to hunt for hidden treasure or a great find. She set up shop at Greentop in Allen and loved selling her antiques as much as finding them. She also was the chairperson for the antiques department for the annual Hillsdale College Rummage Sale.
She had an unmatched enthusiasm for life and shared it with all who knew and met her. She loved to travel and made several trips to Europe as well as a special trip to Tunisia in 1993. She loved to cook and entertain for friends and family. She was admired for the beautiful spaces that she created to host her family and friends. She was the consummate hostess - she would spend as much time and effort as was necessary to put together meals and treats and all the little touches to make family and guests feel welcome and special. Her home and heart was always a place of love and warmth and smiles and understanding.
In 2008 the family celebrated Norm and Lyla's 50th wedding anniversary with a special trip to Traverse City, a place that was near and dear to both Lyla and Norm. The family enjoyed a limo ride up the old Mission Peninsula to dinner, and on the way they stopped at Lyla's one-room schoolhouse, which is now a wine tasting room for a local vintner.
She was a woman of great faith and her church was an integral part of her life. She regularly attended Bible study and sang in an octet called Celebreight that performed at Sunday services. She also helped with the church yard sales and participated in the Hillsdale College adopted student program.
Some of her other favorite activities were dancing with Norm, taking in the sights around Lake Wilson in the pontoon boat with Norm (or Rick, or Will) at the wheel, watching fireworks by the lake in July, long walks through the college arboretum with grandson Will, working in her garden and hunting shells on the beach with family in Florida.
Lyla is survived by son Richard, Daughter-in-law Alison and grandson William of Pleasant Ridge, MI, daughter Noelle of Chicago, IL, sister Maxine of Kennesaw GA, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Her husband Norm, sister Joyce and brother Stanley preceded her in death.
The family will receive friends for a visitation from 5-8 PM on 14 March 2014 at Van Horn-Eagle Funeral Home, 40 S. Manning Street, Hillsdale. A Celebration of Life memorial service will be held on Saturday 15 March at 11 AM at College Baptist Church, 200 N. Manning Street, Hillsdale.
Lyla loved flowers, but her family asks that in lieu of flowers, that memorial donations be made to the following organizations:
Hickman Cancer Center
Bixby Community Hospital Foundation
818 Riverside Avenue
Adrian, Michigan 49221
Attn: Terri Butler

Molding on exterior window sill : name?
I need the name of the molding that extends an exterior window sill.
I saw some rot on an exterior window sill, that is on two double hung windows framed together. So I pulled the piece off to see how bad it was. I don't know the right terminology here.
The wood window dates to 1986, and was a pre-hung/pre-fab item, the kind that is inserted into the wall opening, then molding added inside and out. The window has a regular sill, part of the pre-fab unit. Then there is a piece of trim added to the sill that essentially extends it, and overlaps the top edge of the aluminum siding. It's not "brick mold". That's along the sides and top. It's not an apron, like on the inside: there is none.
The rot was bad, so I need to replace this strip. The dimensions that are visible are 1 1/2" by 1 1/4" (actual size, not nominal). It is the now-visible inside of this strip that confounds me. The profile is a series of small steps. If I use an ordinary (nominal) 2 x 2, it is never going to fit right.
Given that this is a developer house, this must be a ready made type of molding. What is the name, and can I find this is in a standard home improvement store?
Thanks for your help.
Underside :
End view. In this shot the surface facing toward the top was that which extended the window sill. The surface facing right was perpendicular to the ground.
Thanks! I knew it had to have a name.
Now I just have to find a place that carries it. Just checked Menards and Home Depot, they donâÂÂt have it. Contractors who replace these must have other options. I am just going to have to cobble it up out of the 1 x 2 cedar I bought yesterday before I had this piece off to look at it.
You mean a lumber yard? None around here. I can search around tomrrow, but I need to get this done quickly. Husband is really annoyed that I decided to tackle this now. But I was afraid to let it go over the winter. The sill is out there exposed now. I soaked it in wood preservative yesterday.
I checked a few places. None have my same profile. It looks like I will either have to build this up out out of several different cuts of wood, like a 1 x 2 in cedar and a small strip of 1 /2â x 1/ 2âÂÂ, which I donâÂÂt think I can find in any exterior grade of wood (I had a square dowel laying around that fit well into the gap, but it is not exterior grade. ).
Alternative is to buy PVC sill , which not the right profile either, but which perhaps I can trim down that projection on the lower left inside edge, if I can use a box cutter or hand saw to do it.
What do you think is preferable? I hate to go to all this trouble, only to have more problems down the road. IâÂÂm thinking the PVC would at least avoid rot issues from using the wrong kind of wood. I donâÂÂt like this jerry-rigging.
