Tropical shade
I could'nt find this question looking back through the past topics posted in this forum so please dont be mad at me if I missed a question that has been asked a million times.
I have a patio that is pretty much full shade and I would kind of like it to look like the rest of my yard which is full of Colocasia's, Canna's, Banana's and palms, Does any body know of some tropical or tropicalesque plants for shade? I do prefer the big broad leaf look short or tall plants.
Because you mentiond "patio", I'm going to assume that you want potted plants and probably potted plants that you can move under cover during the coldest part of winter. Here's a start:
Abutilon FLOWERING MAPLE, CHINESE LANTERN
Aucuba japonica JAPANESE AUCUBA
Acanthus mollis BEARÂS BREECH
Adiantum pedatum FIVE-FINGER MAIDENHAIR
Aspidistra elatior CAST-IRON PLANT
Zantedeschia aethiopica ÂGreen Goddess GIANT CALLA-LILY
Asplenium bulbiferum MOTHER FERN
Asplenium scolopendrium HARTÂS TONGUE FERN
Begonia BEGONIA
Bergenia cordifolia BERGENIA
Billbergia nutans QUEEN'S TEARS
Billbergia pyramidalis and var striata PYRAMID
Camellia reticulata RETICULATE CAMELLIA
Clivia miniata FLAME LILY
Clivia nobilis RED LILY
Cordyline australis HARDY DRACAENA
Cordyline stricta AUSTRALIAN TI PLANT
Cycas revoluta CYCAD, SAGO "PALM"
Cyrtomium falcatum HOLLY FERN
Ensete ventricosum ÂMaurelii ABYSSINIAN BANANA
Fatsia japonica JAPANESE ARALIA
Mahonia bealei LEATHERLEAF MAHONIA
Nephrolepis cordifolia SOUTHERN SWORD FERN
Ophiopogon jaburan GIANT LILY TURF
Phlebodium aureum HAREÂS-FOOT FERN
Pyrrosia lingua JAPANESE FELT FERN
Rhapis excelsa LADY PALM
Rumohra adiantiformis LEATHERLEAF FERN
Schefflera puekleri TUPIDANTHUS
Tradescantia pallida ÂPurpurea PURPLE HEART
I'm guessing most of those things you mention may be in pots or you may dig them, but you're not growing them in the ground all year in Nebraska, right? I gardened in Nebraska before I moved here, and I commend your spirit! There are about as many great aroids for shade as the Colocasias and Alocasias you mention for sun--caladiums and philodendrons and anthuriums, for example. Check out NaturalSelectionsExotics, for instance, for some pictures of some of the larger-leaved ones. Of those, only caladium goes dormant, though, so you'd have to have room to store them. There are, as gardenguru says, some great begonias that would take growing in the house just fine too, some with very large leaves.
WOW what a list! I will get to looking all those up ASAP.
For around the patio area I will be doing the pot in a pot thing You know bury one pot and place the other pot in the first one to save time digging (I do enough digging in the yard I dont want to do any more)other wise if at all possible the plants I find will stay in the ground.
Some of the banana's and the palm's in my yard stay in the ground and every thing else comes out.
Thanks again for helping me out, If you think of more let me know.
I havent yet figured it out weather I like gardening or I have a fetish for digging holes in the ground and I just stick plants in the holes to cover up my fetish

Kwanzaa: A Diabetes Friendly Holiday
Kwanzaa: A Diabetes Friendly Holiday
Nestled between Christmas and New Years is Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration and reaffirmation of community, culture, and family. Kwanzaa is a Swahili word for first fruits. Because it is not a religious holiday, it is often celebrated along with Christmas in many African-American homes. For the diabetes community, the celebration of Kwanzaa falls in line with the celebration of a healthy lifestyle. This is because Kwanzaa encompasses the whole life mind, body, and spirit as it pertains not only to the individual, but to the entire community.
The weeklong holiday begins December 26th and ends New Years Day, with each day focusing on a specific principle of Kwanzaa.
The Kwanzaa Principles
The seven principles of Kwanzaa are called the Nguzo Saba. In order, they are:
Umoja (Unity) To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together.
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose) To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba (Creativity) To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith) To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

5 of 5 starsReviewed September 27, 2014
We were 9 friends who recently spent 3 nights here at this Town house in Framnesvegur, and we were very satisfied with this house and the help we got from the host. This charming town house has the most amenities a traveller needs, equipped kitchen, AirPlay loudspeaker, TV, several king and queen sized beds, one large bath room with an amazing shower and a bath tub and one up stairs rest room. There are several super markeds within a 3-5 min walk and one 24/7 store close by. We made dinner at home one of the nights and chose to have breakfast at home every morning out of the convenience of having a nice kitchen and dining area, even if the great Reykjavik cafés were close by. The friendly host Jenny was easy to reach if there were any questions. Thanks for having us. Best regards from 9 Norwegian girls who are already planning their new Iceland trip. This place is bookmarked.
Reykjavik is a special city to visit. It has a great variety of excellent restaurants, fun bars, cozy coffee houses and very good shopping, either on the main street Laugavegur or at the two malls, Kringlan and Smáralind.
Reykjavik has a good variety of art galleries.
The Reykjavik nightlife is with out a doubt a great experience. Reykjavik is also famous for its amazing outdoor swimming.
The Town House is with in walking distance to 3 grocery shops, pharmacies, restaurants, you are 7 min on foot to the center.

Original Prayer Request (posted 5 Years Ago):
Just heard some devastating news this afternoon! My 47 yr old cousin announced that she was diagnosed with 1st stage breast cancer. Shes the 1st in the family to have it! She had her biopsy and I think surgery, and is now scheduled for chemo this week! She has a VERY POSITITVE attitude on this. She said she did her crying and her studying and is ready for treatment since she has the drive to live longer. She also found out that one of her best friends was also diagnosed with it (stage and her name unknown). So the two are going thru treatment together. Will you please join me, my family, and her friends to pray for Lorraine and her friends recovery?

RAMALLAH: Unidentified gunmen shot at the Palestinian parliament's deputy speaker - an independent supported by Hamas - while he was driving in the northern occupied West Bank Thursday, he said.
Hassan Khraisheh told AFP that five rounds hit his car as he was driving just a couple of hundred meters from his home in the city of Tulkarem.
Khraisheh was not hurt.
The deputy speaker, who has been outspoken in criticism of the Palestinian Authority headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, said he was informed an investigation was underway.
Tulkarem is an area under full Palestinian security control in the West Bank.
Palestinian security officials were not immediately available for comment.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Amazing Experience for Breast Augmentation and Nipple Enhancemt - New York, NY
Dr colen and his team are great. They share a vision for natural looking work and got the size and placement right. Also the nipples look great. Everything was smooth regarding consults and the procedure. Couldn't be happier with the results only 2 months later. Maybe wish i had gone a little bigger to a c cup but I got pretty close. I am only 110 pounds and 5'5".
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Amazing Experience All Around - New York, NY
My surgery was a mini tummy tuck, nipple reduction (I had large nipples that were always at-attention), and breast augmentation (mommy-make-over). I researched many doctors and met with numerous. My husband came to every single consult. I received this doctor's information on recommendation of someone who had breast augmentation 6 years ago and she had nothing but the highest accolades for Dr. S. Colen. Once we met with Dr. Colen, my husband and I, both knew, hands-down, we had met our doctor. All of my questions were answered, when I had questions via phone or a request to meet in person I was accommodated with great speed. The surgery and recovery met my every hope and expectation. Having an accredited operating room on site is such a huge bonus to the patient. It means everyone on staff is dedicated to just you. And in case something does go wrong you have the peace of mind of knowing that Dr. Colen has hospital rights at approximately 7 of the major NYC hospitals. Thank you Dr. Colen.
5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover - New York, NY
When I decided I wanted to do this makeover I did my research and met with several renowned doctors in NYC. Once I stepped into Dr. Colen's office I knew I had reached a decision. The staff was warm and responsive. Dr. Colen patiently explained all my options and graciously answered all my questions - and I had alot of them! The pre-surgical requirements were thoroughly explained to me and I was well prepared on the day of surgery. Everyone at the office was very attentive to me and made sure I was well taken care of before, during and after surgery. I know exactly where I am going for any further cosmetic needs and would highly recommend this practice! My before and after photos are on the colen MD website.

Thanks to the defection of the two relatively enlightened Republican senators from Maine and the quick replacement of the late Democratic Sen.

But for Republicans, it has been a defining issue that will haunt the party.
When the nation's leading civil rights organization passed a resolution condemning displays of racism by tea party activists, leaders of the movement reacted with umbrage so thick you could cut it with a knife—then demonstrated that the NAACP's allegation was entirely justified.

President Obama came out swinging in his weekly address on Saturday, claiming that his administration has been pushing to help small businesses grow and strengthen the economy and blaming Republican leaders for thwarting his efforts.

Afghanistan is the place where theories of warfare go to die, and if the COIN theory isn't dead yet, it's utterly failed so far to prove itself.
The last time America found itself in a budget debate pitting domestic priorities against war expenditures, Richard Nixon was in the White House and David Obey was the youngest member of Congress.
And sometimes, life imitates farce. Thus the spectacle of BP's Chief Executive Officer Tony "I'd like my life back" Hayward spending the weekend at a yacht race.
Joe Barton is not alone. The Texas congressman's lavish sympathy for BP—which he sees not as perpetrator of a preventable disaster but as victim of a White House "shakedown"—is actually what passes for mainstream opinion among conservative Republicans today.

President Obama gave a good and sensible speech that was not a home run. What's odd is that Obama was seen as needing a home run. This is where the Democratic malaise comes in. Democrats should feel a lot better than they do.
What is this, middle school? Women are marching forward in politics, but the new Republican nominee for senator from California is taking us back to the cattiness of the school cafeteria.
This week's primaries should have been good news for Democrats. Instead, a stray comment from an Obama aide briefly threatened a civil war in the Democratic Party, which needs all the unity it can get.

Scheer said, "both Democrats and Republicans have betrayed the interests of black and brown people and those who got stuck with subprime mortgages, and that's the pressing civil rights issue right now."
Now that we've gotten the inevitable tea party pun out of the way, here's the newsy bit: According to the astute analysis of Salon's Gabriel Winant, the relationship between the GOP's powers that be and certain sachet-carrying members of the tea party ... (continued)
Not so fast, everybody. Rand Paul can't abruptly disavow the extremist views on civil rights that he's been espousing for years and expect us all to just move along.
Rand Paul's stunning victory in Kentucky demonstrates that the tea party movement does not intend to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party.
Almost all the shibboleths of Washington conventional wisdom took a hit in Tuesday's voting. Yet advocates of a single national political narrative keep spinning the same old tale.
This year's elections may exacerbate the difference between our two political parties, but not in the way most people are talking about.

Get ready to hit those strip malls, party people: The 2012 Republican convention is going to Tampa, Fla. GOP leaders opted not to drop the balloons in Arizona, perhaps because of that state's racist immigration law that essentially flips the bird at the nation's fastest-growing bloc of voters.
Britain's Conservative Party has found a winning brand by reaching out to the left, while conservatives across the pond alienate voters with angry rhetoric and fringe positions.
Nevada's leading Senate candidate, who wants to return to the barter system, makes Sarah Palin sound like an intellectual, but they share a nostalgia for a golden age that never was.
The true thinking behind Arizona's immigration bill could be heard back in 2001, when the emotional aftermath of 9/11 momentarily removed politicians' rhetorical filters.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's political prospects took a sharp downward turn after he man-hugged President Barack Obama in February 2009. And the emergence of the tea party movement—not to mention the boost it has given Crist's main rival for election to the U.S. Senate ... (continued)

Browsing the forum areas late at night, I'm aware that most people seem to have gone to bed, or perhaps they're just doing something else at that time.
In years gone by we had what - for want of a better description - I used to refer to as 'the night crew'. They were the regulars who took part in discussions that often went on into the early hours. We had some interesting debates at night, and whether it was due to the lateness of the hour, or perhaps a nightcap or two, they were mostly good-natured and friendly.
I tend to be here until midnight most evenings - sometimes a little later - because some of the work I do involves on-line collaboration across times zones. I just wondered if anyone keeps me company without my knowing?

When tentatively and nervously browsing the internet with my first computer nearly eleven years ago, I happened by chance to drop in to the PCA forum. The website itself was in its infancy then, but I was immediately struck by the intellectual, factual and helpful content it provided, together with an excellent standard of moderation. In no time at all I was hooked and began to contribute and help in any way I could.
I did previously visit other forums during my early searching, but none I found then could even come close to this forum for its excellent selection of content, invaluable help and kindness from its contributors. Anyway, to get back on topic, retirement has in the past allowed me to spend a great amount of my time here, reaching well into the wee small hours on many rivetting discussions. These days I turn in most nights around 01.00 hours, after a final check of Speakers' Corner, just in case I spot an 'all-night session' potential there! o:) TC.

We've grown nearly eleven years older together. Who would have thought, all those years ago, that we would still be here, over a decade later?
I met a retired client at a dinner recently. She was embarking on an early retirement when I first started working with PCA. Exchanging pleasantries, we asked each other what we were up to these days. When I told her, she said 'Good heavens! You're not still doing that are you? I wouldn't have thought there was enough talk about computers to last you over ten years'.
If only she knew.

In the days of Dial-up, post Lounge, I used to log-on after the Restaurant had closed. Sort of Midnight till 2.00am.
Now I drive a Taxi and, if I've had difficult Customers on any of the last few runs, I will Log-in to Cool-out. Between 3.30 and 4.30am.
Unfortunately I'm being left behind by technology. My PC is XP, but with a 24" Monitor, and I'm unlikely replace it until M$ drop their support for XP in 2014. I gave my Laptop to my Sister a couple of years back to try to get around her Luddite tendencies, it didn't work. I desire an iPad, but having spent a couple of hours playing with a friends, cannot get round the thought that it is a Toy. Desirable, but still a toy which I cannot justify as an expense. I still have a basic Mobile Phone for the same reasons as the iPad.
Without the discussions here I would not know of all the goodies I am missing out on! However I believe that I am Homo Sapiens, user of tools, rather than Homo Infantes, player of games.

I spend far to many hours playing an online golf game,I am often finishing golfing at 8/9am & grab an hour or so kip.I login to PCA at weird o'clock as the game has regular "maintenance" where the server's offline(or it's crashed...too darn regularly)and can often be found here at 4am.I have a read of threads that catch my eye,post responses if I feel the need and then try the golf once more.A back injury keeps me awake until exhausted so today it was 9am I went to bed and I hadn't been golfing all night due to my ISP deciding I didn't need my connection for several hours,and couldn't login to PCA either.I often visit via my mobile,but it refuses to allow me to post a response longer than 3 or 4 words as the modem within seems to go into standby after 30 seconds and each response gets deleted as I have to login once more to PCA.

FE you are dead right about kids as we all know. However I find that surprisingly fewer than I had thought know what goes on inside a PC -and how to fix it. When I do a minor 'op' to load more RAM on a laptop or replace a desktop hard drive at a PC class at my local univ I am surrounded by young students who seem amazed an 'aged wrinkly' could possibly know what he is doing re a PC's innards!

I have to agree with [b]tigertop2[/b].
Up until a few years ago, I employed a number of teenagers on Saturdays and during the School Holidays.
Almost all were adept, when it came to using the PC. However, for a good proportion, their understanding of the goings on within the PC, how to repair or upgrade it and what software was needed to keep it safe and running smoothly, was staggering.
To them it is a Consumer Product. It either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you replace it.

Zazzle.com Thinks Depictions of Pi Are Protected Intellectual Property 264
from the attention-i-have-trademarked-the-space-between-letters-please-stop-using-it 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).
God invented Pi. don't get his lawyers into this...
God has no lawyers. They're all in Hell.
Zazzle.com. A web site that I've never heard of before, but won't ever be visiting...
Too bad the general public is too apathetic to see how completely retarded patenting a common mathematical symbol
It's also too bad the general public is unaware of the difference between a trademark and a patent.
I'm friends with some artists, and the problem with Zazzle (and many other sites like them) is that actually stolen content gets submitted all the time, and they probably got sick of getting 1000 emails from an artist and all of that artist's fans for someone effectively stealing a design and submitting it as their own.
This guy doesn't have a leg to stand on, but it doesn't mean that nobody ever has a reason to complain. The reality is that the internet is a place where people try and pass things off as their own constantly. That's bad enough, but when someone starts making money off of your art--your original, actual art--it becomes really damaging to you. People start thinking YOUR design is the fake, even though it's the original. It sucks.
So yeah, this is lame and bit lazy, but not immediately responding to an infringement notice is also lame and lazy.
If you can't understand it, it is intuitively obvious.

Need help with pebble sheen french grey selection
Has anyone used Pebble Sheen French Grey for resurfacing their pool? Or has anyone used Moonlight Grey Pebble Tec? Would you describe the blue color -- pale, light, medium? Or is it a blue/green color or teal color? What is the color in the shaded areas of your pool? Do you have pictures or can you refer me to other photos that match your pool? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
You really need to visit a couple if possible...a description wouldnt be helpful and even pictures vary by camera and monitor.
In any case, here are French Grey Sheen ones I've done (REAL PebbleTec brand). A slight overcast day, shadows, water chemistry, and even surroundings can make such a noticeable difference. I will say it is possibly my favorite color for specifically geometric pools, and can work well with freeforms as well.

Here's why you need this Distinctive tree:
A New Twist on the Japanese Maple
Clinging low to the ground with a patchwork of twisting branches, the Germaine's Gyration Japanese Maple sets itself apart from all other varieties. With a maximum height of just 7 feet, its diminutive but dense shape makes it an ideal candidate for a multitude of garden and landscape purposes. Whether planted as an accent, strategically placed in containers or as a hedge, the unique form of the Germaine's will add character and charm to any location you choose. As it grows, the tree—or shrub if you prefer—forms a spreading mound that lends a softening appearance to its surroundings. Whatever your planting design calls for, this eclectic feature makes the Germaine's Gyration an incredible addition to your garden or landscape.
The Small Tree with Big Color
Aside from its distinctive form, Germaine's Gyration exhibits a soothing display of green leaves that look as though they've been dipped in burgundy along the edges. But it's during the autumn that the show of color really takes center stage. That's when the small, fern-like leaves turn a brilliant shade of orange, melding with yellows and reds to create a picturesque landscape you'll look forward to each season. It's a sight that will have you counting the days until summer finally ends.
Don't let your opportunity to get all this color fade away. Supply is limited so order your Germaine's Gyration while they're still available.

The State unit of the BJP on Monday filed a complaint with the Election Commission seeking the removal of U.R. Ananthamurthy as Chancellor of the Central University of Karnataka, Gulbarga, and initiate legal action against him for allegedly violating the poll code by campaigning for a political party despite being a government employee.
A delegation of BJP leaders, led by State co-spokesperson and actor Malavika Avinash, that filed the complaint, alleged that indulging in poll campaign in favour of a political party was not only misuse of the office of the Chancellor, but also a clear violation of model code of conduct. It also accused the writer of "trying to defame a person, party and religion."
A section of litterateurs, including Dr. Ananthamurthy, Girish Karnad, and K. Marulasiddappa, had recently declared that they would form a forum called Samakaleena Vichara Vedike to oppose BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on the grounds that he was a "threat to the country's pluralistic culture." Describing him as a "dictator who suppresses moderate voices," they vowed to support the Congress as an alternative.
Such a public attack on its prime ministerial candidate just before the elections angered the BJP which launched a counter-attack at these writers, accusing them, particularly Dr. Ananthamurthy, of speaking like spokespersons of the Congress.
In the complaint, the BJP alleged that Dr. Ananthamurthy was trying to defame Mr. Modi by describing him as a communal person who was trying to divide the country in the name of Hindutva. The petition also recalled Dr. Ananthamurthy's remark that "I do not want to live in the country if Mr. Modi becomes Prime Minister."
Taking exception to this, the BJP said the fact that he had been elected as Chief Minister of a big State like Gujarat for the three consecutive terms showed that he had the support of people from all communities. It was not proper to describe him as a communal person, it said.

I can appreciate that you all are trying to be magnanimous and offer for us poor puggers, avenues to 'get better.' If the hint of sarcasm i'm picking up isn't there then i apologize. Please realize though even for an expert pvper with a perfect setup, being stuck on a team with 4 other typical scrubs and facing a premade - you aren't going to turn the tide unless that premade is crap.
I understand that the queue is light and that even if you did institute this idea, there would be ways to work around it. No solution is perfect when people are involved; but steps can be taken to improve the experience none the less.
To the poster above, that sorta of all or nothing thinking is unconstructive. Games have instituted weighted queuing, i.e. the quality of your past performance and level, gear is taken into account when deciding who you get paired up with. I can't pretend to assume to know what the numbers are community wise, or if they would support tiered queuing; But i do know this game has a level of complexity that is very appealing to competitve pvpers. But any long time pvper can tell you, the hardcore aren't enough to sustain a game, you need new blood; novice and intermediate players to fill in the gaps as people drop out, quit, or do other things - And you can't inspire them (especially new novices) to stick around long and learn the ropes if they are getting ***** in seconds.
I know it's fashionable to be less than constructive when typing to others online, but this community i think can easily rise above that mentality (at least some of the time) So lets try to do that.
It feels a little silly debating this, I'm sure cryptic barely reads these forums and are more interested in how to turn a profit atm than improving pvp, as evidenced by the lack of any large pvp maps or sector pvp in general.
Still, who can pass up a chance to debate on the internet, am i rite?

I ate my first ever mango at Whole Foods last week. Yes, I am 30 (well, something) and just tried a mango. Sad, I know.
Whole Foods has a big Mango Promo going on right now, so I went up to my local Whole Foods Market and learned all about this delicious fruit. Whole Foods currently has 2 varieties of mangoes in-stock, but there are actually 6 different varieties that you can find throughout the year.
Champagne Mangoes (also called yellow, Ataulfo, manila and honey) are my favorite. Locally, these mangoes can be found in-store March and April. Champagne mangoes are small, yellow, super sweet and lack the fibers found in other varieties. The sweet flavor and lack of fibers is actually why I preferred this type.

So you blew your budget last year. Well, it's 2014 – your chance for a fresh start and to stick to your budget again in the new year.
Favado, your friendly neighborhood grocery savings mobile app, can help you do just that.
Personalized just for you, the Favado money-saving app will help you keep your resolution to save on groceries this year with step-by-step weekly goals from the best money-saving brains in the business. It's the solution to keeping your 2014 resolution!
So what is Favado? Favado is a mobile savings app that helps shoppers stop overspending by notifying them when their favorite items are on sale. Favado has money saving experts who hand select sales and coupons every week — in more than 65,000 grocery and drugstores nationwide — to enable discovery of the best deals for savings up to 70% on everyday items.
You can create a shopping list using the "My List" feature which allows you to build your weekly shopping list within the app. Your "My List" can be used at home to print coupons or at the store while on the go. It can also be shared via email with whomever is doing the grocery shopping for you!
How do I redeem the savings? Add the items you need from the store's deals list to your shopping list. Any printable coupons that are combined with the sales can be printed out on your home computer, after you email yourself your shopping list. Any coupons from the newspaper or a magazine can be clipped and taken to the store to redeem.
Another super cool feature of the App is that you can compare prices on your favorite products. Simply select your favorite brands or products and the App will show you where those items are on sale each week!
You can see a screenshot of the app from my phone below:
Favado is available for iPhone, iPod Touch and Android devices.
Another reason why I think this App will help you is for traveling. If you're like me, you like to purchase food from the grocery store to save on eating out. Having this app will be great because you can find out what's on sale at stores in the area you're planning to travel. Even without coupons, you can save money on groceries!
The #resolutionsolution Twitter parties will take on Tuesday evenings, starting January 7th, at 9 pm EST/6 pm PST. There will be $300 in grocery store gift cards to give away each week! You can RSVP to the first Twitter party on 1/7/14 HERE.

In a time where you can pay bills online and deposit checks using your smartphone; writing checks may seem like a thing of the past. However, I have found that having checks is still a necessity.
Most of my monthly bills are automatically paid through my bank, but I still write checks each month. In the last 2 months alone, I wrote checks to join the PTA & Booster Club at two schools, ordered school t-shirts and sent money in for field trips and fundraisers. I've had medical bills to pay, renewal of my annual termite inspection, and a reimbursement check to my Mother-in-law when she took me to the Commissary. The list of checks I've written goes on and on.

Early Campbell Hausfeld Pressure Queen compressors had a four-cylinder engine. The units required a ½ to 1/3 horsepower motor or gas engine for power. The company touted its products as having the only four-cylinder engine on the market. In the 1950s, the ads changed to stating the Pressure Queen as the only portable compressor containing a four-cylinder engine.
Specifications for Older Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressors
Campbell Hausfeld established itself in the mid-1800s by manufacturing horse-drawn wagons and farm equipment. Already a successful company, Campbell Hausfeld entered the air compression and tools market in 1940 with the Pressure King Air Compressor, soon renamed the Pressure Queen. The corporation marketed the new product to both professional and residential markets as an affordable, versatile tool that would last a lifetime.
The Pressure Queen boasted a maximum pressure of 50-60 psi (pounds per square inch). The compressor excelled in commercial, farm and home workshops nationwide. The hybrid ability to paint, inflate tires and finish products made it an essential tool for contractors and homeowners.
The non-pulsating performance of Campbell Hausfeld compressors set it above the competition. The consistent flow of air pressure provided professional grade finishes for painting.
The piston type compressors came equipped with bronze bearings. Campbell Hausfeld manufactured the disc-type valves, forged crankshaft and base from steel.
The Pressure Queen's price tag stood at $99.95, advertised as an incredible bargain for the amount of flexibility and durability offered. A purchaser can add an electric- or gas-powered motor for an extra $10.
Other Models
Campbell Hausfeld produced four models by the 1950s. The Pressure Princess, sister to the pressure queen, provided similar effectiveness through a one-cylinder engine.
