Is there a way to put a 3/4" top coat onto an existing concrete slab, and have it actually bond to the existing slab?
We put in a patio & walk that we had intended to tile, then found that the tile is no longer available (trying to match existing adjacent tile). So we are considering other options. Is there a technique that would provide good adhesion between new concrete and old (3 months), so that we could add a 3/4" top color coat with a stamped finish?

Similar Crate and Barrel media credenza
Can anyone recommend a less expensive console / credenza to store components under a wall mounted tv, I like the retro-modern clean look of this crate and barrel one
(the wieden) for $400 but was curios if there is a cheaper alternative (especially since this has to be assembled). In particular I like the square design, metal base and open shelves so that components can work with remote controls.
The only place that might have a modern design for cheaper is IKEA. They have the TOBO (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40117673) which is 44" wide for $169.
You might also like the LINNARP (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80133548) which costs $249 but is a bit wider at 56".
Good luck!

Product description
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Don Share. We cherish our illusions so that we can enter reality; and what we imagine can seem to us as real as what we actually see before our eyes every day. Suppose we were given a field guide designed to help us classify such things, to help us navigate our lives. The renowned Colombian love poet and novelist Dario Jaramillo Agudelo has provided us just such a useful--and fanciful--poetic reference work in his Guia para viajeros, translated from the Spanish by Don Share. In this book, which reads like a series of interrelated prose poems, you will encounter fantastic creatures whose behavior suggests new and previously undreamed of ways to obtain roses, to play music, to drink wine, to put words in a new, magical order, and even to fly. In this collection of charming yet slightly dark caprices, you will encounter a world of creatures whose foibles, romances, moods, and dreams resemble, strangely enough, our own.

Have you ran slugs through it yet?
A few but not many.
Well crap. It might take me a while to check all of that out.
your welcome good luck with your customizing. Also how is the saiga 410? do you wish you got a rifle caliber instead?
I love the 410. I am happy I got it. I didnt really want another rifle caliber since I already have an AK and a few ARs. The kick of the 410 is very minimum which is the main reason I didnt get a 12 gauge as well. Its turning out to be my favorite long gun.

Hibiscus being eaten by ...
Each year I pot hibiscus "trees" in large pots on my deck and place them where I can enjoy them from inside the house and outside the house. They get intense afternoon sun from about 1 to 4 pm.
Even though I make sure they are watered properly each year the bottom half of the trees lose their leaves. The top half of each tree looks gorgeous and there is usually at least one bloom on them.
This year I had decided that I need to research another blooming plant to place on the deck next year because I was tired of seeing the bottom half of each tree with nothing but twig branches.
Yesterday as I looked out the window I saw a squirrel climb into the pot, sit there and look around. Cute. I've seen them do that before. Then he literally looked to the left, then to the right and climbed the hibiscus. "Awww! How adorable he looks sitting there. Let me get my camera." Then he reached out and grabbed one of the leaves at the bottom of the top half of the tree! Then another! Then he pulled on the branches until he figured out which one had a bloom on it, pulled it down, and plucked the bloom off! Not cute!
All these years I thought my hibiscus were being distressed by the intense afternoon sun even though they are a full sun plant. Not so! The leaves were being plucked and eaten! I thought it kind of weird that only the bottom half lost the leaves. The top half couldn't support the weight of the squirrels which is why that part still looked great.
Anyone have any ideas on how to stop these leaf and bloom eating marauders?
Robin in NC
Try putting a cage of hardware cloth or something smaller than chicken wire around the trunks. We are forced to do this with our in-ground fruit trees because of rabbits and voles. Everything here gets planted in a gopher basket. Fight back!
You could also put rags soaked in human urine around. Most animals hate that. OR, you can hang moth balls. They don't like that either.
Good luck!

Securing America: Afghanistan Progress Report
A new progress report from the Pentagon paints a mixed picture in the ongoing war on terror being fought in Afghanistan.
FOX News Radio's Steve Taylor reports from Washington in our ongoing series on national security:
Audio clip:
Securing America.
In Afghanistan, there have been slightly more attacks by the Taliban this year, compared to last, but a larger Afghan security force has taken on more of the fighting. Those are two conclusions of a Pentagon analysis of America's longest war.
Other points: The troop surge reduced the enemy's offensive ability, but the Taliban and al-Qaeda still can bring flashy attacks. There's cross-border counterterrorism cooperation from Pakistan, but not a lot. And 2012 saw more attacks on American and NATO troops from supposed allies in Afghanistan.
In Washington, Steve Taylor, FOX News Radio.

Roman Reigns Talks About Working with The Shield, His Heritage and More
by Staff - August 12, 2013
- One-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Roman Reigns recently spoke with Triblive.com to promote the SummerSlam pay-per-view. Here are some highlights:
His wrestling heritage:
"I come from very strong family. My heritage is strong within this business. I was gifted with a certain set of genetics. I'm athletic. I like to think I'm not a bad looking guy. One of the jokes we always talk about, as long as I can put a little oil on my arms, wet my hair and I'll be alright."
The Shield's debut last year: "It was pretty much unexpected. I heard some rumors we would possibly do something at Hell in a Cell. That kind of folded. We waited a few weeks to get to Survivor Series. Once we got the green light, we just kicked the door down."
Working with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins:
"Being paired up with them has been an awesome experience. For me, I don't even feel like I'm scratching the surface yet. I'm just now starting to let my hair down,' said Reigns."

Medical examiner: Evidence in Michele MacNeill's death insufficient for 'homicide' finding
Mark Johnston
PROVO — Whether she died from heart disease or drowning, none of the facts or circumstances surrounding Michele MacNeill's death provided sufficient evidence to conclude the death was a homicide, Utah's chief medical examiner told a jury Thursday.
"I certified that the manner of death was undetermined," Todd Grey said, testifying in the 4th District Court murder trial of the woman's husband, Martin MacNeill. "I did not feel that I could reach a conclusion of homicide."
Grey's conclusions came in a 2010 reassessment of an original autopsy, which said Michele MacNeill died of natural causes related to heart disease, specifically "chronic hypertension and myocarditis, which are capable of causing acute unexpected arrhythmia and sudden death."
Grey told jurors he believes the combined effects of natural heart disease and drug toxicity — a cocktail of painkillers and other drugs found in Michele MacNeill's system — were the likely cause of her death.
Michele MacNeill, 50, was found unconscious and partially submerged in the bathtub of her Pleasant Grove home on April 11, 2007, about a week after having plastic surgery.
Utah County prosecutors charged her husband with murder, a first-degree felony, and obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony, in connection with her death. They contend he over-medicated Michele MacNeill with drugs prescribed by her surgeon — Lortab, Ambien, oxycodone and Valium — to render her listless, get her in a bathtub and then drown her so he could make a new life with his mistress.
Like Grey, neither the original autopsy nor an analysis by the state's paid expert from Florida ruled the death a homicide, nor were the drugs in her system at lethal levels. The state's paid expert, Dr. Joshua Perper, however, is expected testify Friday that Michele MacNeill's death was the result of drowning.
"It's a possibility, but I cannot prove it," Grey said of the theory when questioned by defense attorney Randall Spencer.
Grey noted that there was no evidence in Michele MacNeill's lungs of a significant inhalation of water, although her lung weights were heavier than normal.
"I could not make a diagnosis of drowning," he said.
Utah County authorities did not begin to investigate Michele MacNeill's death until 2008 after her daughter Alexis Somers and other family members came forward with information they had gathered on their own.
Authorities then pushed Grey to reconsider the initial autopsy because they were intent on bringing a murder case against Martin MacNeill. Grey resisted until 2010 and said Thursday he did so only after investigative information presented to him raised questions about whether the death was "straightforward and simple or much more complicated."
In the end, Grey said he amended the findings of medical examiner Dr. Maureen Frikke, who died from breast cancer in 2008, after concluding that the drugs in Michele MacNeill's body were "significant enough" to have contributed to her death.
Still, Grey testified he sent an email to investigators informing them that neither the medical science of the case nor the evidence they had gathered from interviews was "so compelling that it leads to the conclusion of homicide."
Prosecutors have also alleged that Martin MacNeill lied about the details of his wife's health and his discovery of her in the bathtub when he spoke to Frikke in hopes of influencing the autopsy's findings.
Grey countered that theory under cross-examination Thursday, saying he saw nothing in Frikke's notes to suggest Martin MacNeill had influenced her decisions or conclusions.
Earlier Thursday, Somers took the stand for the second time in her father's trial, parrying with Spencer over inconsistencies in statements she's made over years of emails with family and police, in media interviews and earlier court testimony.
Spencer's questioning seemed designed to convince jurors that the trial has been fueled by Somers' vigorous pursuit of an investigation into her mother's 2007 death and anger over her father's affair with a nursing student.
Somers, herself a doctor, spent more than five hours on the stand over two days, talking about her care of her mother after the surgery, stating how few painkillers her mother had taken and said her mother was "upbeat and happy" just hours before she died.
Under cross-examination, the defense has queried Somers about the 18-page summary of allegations she initially drafted and gave to police, her editing of police investigative summaries over the years, and a copy of the medication record she'd kept on her mother, which surfaced for the first time in 2011. The record, Spencer noted, was discovered at the same time Somers was suing her father in civil court over her mother's estate and possession of the family home.
Somers held her own throughout, reviewing thousands of pages of court and investigative reports but noting at times that she "may have misspoke or mis-wrote" some things at different times over the past seven years.

Botox and Sweating
pjgolden1November 16, 2008
Has anyone had or looked into getting injections around/under the arm pits to try and control sweating?
Wondering from someone with experience how long this lasts and how painful and expensive the shots are.
My daughter has hyperhidrosis of her hands and feet and we have discussed Botox injections with a dermatologist. It lasts up to 6 months, is expensive-though it might be possible that some insurance will cover it with a diagnosis of hyperhidrosis, and painful since the entire area needs to be injected.
She might decide to do this as an adult but at the time she was 10 or 11 and we did not pursue it.
Do you have hyperhidrosis?

how come this is not bigger news! this looks really promising :)
It's not FontLab, therefore it's not interesting to the majority of the users on this board. I'm interested in this software, and am hoping eventually to have enough spare change to register my shareware copy.
@spiral: Because most people who edit fonts use Macs.
well, hopefully with the release of tools like this, that will no longer have to be the case :)

Jobless Claims Rise By 8,000
By Mark Memmott
There were 362,000 first-time clams for unemployment insurance last week, up 8,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration just reported.
That means the number of claims has moved up slightly, but remains around the lowest level since this time four years ago.

We had one at our feeder at about 6:20 PM.
No more hummingbirds in the last several days. And the weather has been cool and rainy every day. I think that's it for this year. I took the feeders down and put them away. I've been putting a few cuttings into the ground. Monarda, perennial Sage, Pinks and Lonicera sempervirens. It could work.....

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
I'm really loving this idea if the engineering section being so vastly different from the saucer section. That kind of modularity has a very appealing logic to it that "trek-tech minded" producers never much aspired to. I could see a little more dressing up of those engineering spaces--more blinking lights, more consoles, and Scotty needs a big distinct workstation so he'll have something to look at whenever he needs to say "She's can't take much more, Captain!" but other than that, the general pattern works. Like the difference between the space shuttle's flight deck and the crawlspace in and around its engine compartment; even if the latter is pressurized, its an equipment bay, not a motel.

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
The best Trek stories, IMHO, were told by people who were storytellers and who wanted to stir things up... who didn't care about the backstory, or the technology, or any of that. A good Trek story NEEDS that.
But those people were not given free reign to do whatever they wanted to. They were counterbalanced by people who cared about those other issues... history, characterization, etc, etc.
The best stories, like the best designs or the best... well... the best ANYTHING... comes out of conflict. You NEED conflict.
I think that if Abrams had been the director, but someone else (someone who loved Trek) had been the producer, we'd have gotten a much better end product.
There's nothing that Abrams did in this film that really wouldn't have been just as effective (maybe MORE effective) if done in more "Trek-classic" style. Just as one small example... is there anyone who seriously thinks that the scene on Narada would have been less effective if they'd used, unaltered, the classic TOS phasers instead of the "nuPhasers?" Honestly, except for the one "marketing requires it, so show the phaser barrel flip!" scene, you'd never have noticed ANYTHING about those... or the communicators.
There is literally nothing in this film that would have been HARMED by keeping the exact, unaltered TOS design. There was barely a scene when we got a close look at any set on the ship, except for the Busch-inspection-tubes scene.
So... have an executive producer who is the "caretaker" for the history... and a producer/director who doesn't care a whit about any of that, but really, really wants to tell a good story at any cost. These two guys (non-gender-specific meaning there) are in conflict, but the end result is something better than you get with just one perspective being forced.
The good things in this film would have won any arguments in a case like that... we'd have all of that. The bad things, on the other hand, would have lost their arguments, and we'd have a lot less of those.
There are big design-issues with that set, though, and I'm sure you've seen them repeatedly. Not just the obviously concrete floor, the fact that the Anheuser Busch signage was hastily covered up with "starfleet livery" or whatever... but safety-related issues associated with huge, uncompartmentalized spaces. It was a bad design.
Still... the idea of working spaces in the ship having a different style than the control-room spaces or the living spaces... provided that they seem to be the same CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY... is perfectly reasonable. Having the "engineering spaces" seem like clean, living-room environments (per TNG/VOY/DS9, and to a lesser extent, ENT) is just sort of... silly.
"Next time," I'd like to see something patterned on the TOS engineering set, but perhaps a bit more expansive. Have the "tubes" section be full-size rather than "forced perspective." Have the floor be perf'ed metal and have equipment visible underneath it. Have the consoles be free-standing rather than built into the walls, with the "ladder" going up to a catwalk leading into the "tubes bay" (what I call the energizer). Replace "blinky light" panels with actual large-format displays, of approximately the same size and arrangement.
I actually can't imagine the brewery being used if there's a sequel... it's the single most mocked aspect of this film. But then again, I'm not directly involved in the making of this film or any potential sequel, so I don't get to make that decision.
But... if another film IS made, I really hope that they don't just say "JJ, you can do whatever you want without any checks or balances." The problems in this film... and there are plenty of them... come from the fact that this guy had full control, rather than having to argue points and defend his positions.
That sort of discussion... yes, that sort of argument... leads to a better final product, every single time.

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
If you realized this reality was a faux one, and pulled it down in favor of one in which you don't even know what your status is (and wouldn't ever know) but become convinced that one is the correct one ... that takes courage, and makes for real drama.
Shoot, LA CONFIDENTIAL has a character whose career is made on what he realizes is a set of lies, and he consciously works to expose all that because it is the right thing to do. It may 'reset' his career and destroy his 'dream' of succeeding as a police officer (it doesn't, but the possibility certainly is thee), but he is bound by an ethical committment.
Stick with your cheapjack condemnations; real drama often has to transcend convention and sometimes sails right over conventional thinkers. If you're not on board when such a ship sails, I don't think the ship will ride any rougher in the waters, no loss at all.
EDIT ADD-ON: Dochterman finally posted his first thoughts on the movie, with I guess more to come later.

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
(recapturing "full quote")...
His point was about "different areas of the ship should look different" because they serve different functions.
My point was that I was agreeing with him, and used the "TNG-era style engineering room" (which was what was being referred to as a "living room space" by me and which, I believe, was the sort of thing he was referring to) as a touchstone as for what DOESN'T work as a fully-believable engineering space - too clean, too "liveable," not evidently functional enough, but lit up with lots and lots of primary-color lighting to make it seem "techy" (supposedly). The "plexiglass" comment was primarily focused on the inexpensive "isolinear optical chip" concept for circuitry we got in TNG, by the way.
I pointed out that this movie did end up keeping that "TNG-era style" in some places, notably the bridge set, which I think wasn't the best choice.
But seriously.. before arguing... make sure you're arguing against the point being made. The point being made by the guy I was responding to, and to which I was agreeing, AND to which I was saying I thought everyone could probably agree, is that "engineering sets shouldn't look exactly like the rest of the ship, except for more plexiglass chips laying around and a few more primary color light sources."
Do you agree, or disagree, with that point?

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
The idea of saving YOUR ENEMY in the process is more noble yet.
The idea that "blowing up the bad guy" is remotely inspirational is... well, it's not something we saw much of in classic Trek.
Do you honestly think that the "mustache-twirling baddie (and let's be clear... though he may have a terrific UNTOLD backstory, as far as this movie is concerned, Nero is nothing more than that) try to destroy the universe, and having the hero save the universe by turning the bad guy's weapon on himself, is either (1) particularly original, (2) particularly inspirational, or (3) in keeping with the philosophies that made "classic Trek" stand out from other entertainment?
Again... compare that to "Errand of Mercy." Compare it to "Arena." Compare it to "Balance of Terror" (Kirk defeated his enemy, sure, but the enemy in that show was far more sympathetic and far more noble... and Kirk DID try to save that enemy, after all). Compare it to ANY "classic trek" episode. Compare it to any of the really great "TNG" episodes. The message was always there... "We're able to be more than that. We can be better than that."
This movie was a fine "popcorn movie." But the storyline was far more cliched than the "reset button" you seem to disdain so much. Just another over-the-top psychotic villain out to destroy the universe with an ultimate weapon, and with no real emotional connection drawn between that character (and his motivations) and the audience.
I find "baddie of the week tries to blow up the universe" pretty non-Trekkian, personally.
(Of course, Nero had 25 years to figure out that all he had to do was go to Hobus and drop in a bit of red-matter there, in his past, and Romulus would survive. Odd that they never even thought of THAT while writing this movie!)

We, the audience, know how these characters end up in the original universe.
In this new universe everything is possible.
That drama aspect would be totally lost for the audience if everything would revert back to the status quo at the end.
BTW: 'Yesterday's Enterprise' only works because the story is told from the audience's perspective (represented by Guinan - Spock has that part in Star Trek).

Re: OMFG MASSIVE SPOLIERS: NeoTrek Engine Musings
If that's the case... "City on the Edge of Forever" was meaningless, and Edith Keeler didn't need to die.
If that's the case... "Star Trek IV" was meaningless, because all they did was create a new "alternative reality" while the one they came from was destroyed in any case.
If that's the case... virtually every "time travel" story in Trek is rendered utterly pointless, because the "original universe" was never altered.
But that's not how it was generally portrayed in Trek, was it? When McCoy went back in time... the "Star Trek" reality was destroyed. Kirk and Spock had to travel back in time to set things right. The ultimate drama in that story came from making a terrible sacrifice in order to do so.
According to the "Abrams-trek" time travel concept... all McCoy would have done, by traveling back, would be to create an alternative reality. The "original reality" would remain, safe. The only impact on the "original reality" would be that McCoy was gone, and the only drama in that story would have been "how do we get McCoy back."
But that... the single most effective "time travel" story Trek has ever done, IMHO... established that all time was one "river."
If you accept "City on the Edge of Forever," AND you accept "Star Trek '09"... you have to accept that "the original timeline is gone, except in the memory of Nimoy's Spock."

At the risk of coming off a little too Shatner/dickish... it is just a show. If you want it to continue to exist as a show, from time to time you have to expand beyond the established horizons and try something new, and not really care how it stacks up against what you've done before.
[/quote]My single biggest issue was that it was so blazingly obvious as a brewery. I kept expecting to see Laverne and Shirley just around the corner![/quote]
Since I've never spent much time in or around a brewry, I wouldn't know. Of course, I've spent even less time in or around the Enterprise' engineering bay so it doesn't take me much to imagine that they might look similar.
On the other hand, the set did sort of remind me of the hood space of my car expanded up a couple of hundred times; if that's the aesthetic Abrams was going for, mission accomplished.
