Companies evaluating manufacturing ERP products have many options. Understand your needs to ensure a vendor can meet your specific requirements.
It could be a long time before home 3-D printing becomes mainstream for consumers.
Despite drawbacks, 3-D printing will continue to revolutionize design, development and production of unique, low-volume complex parts.
During the Google vs. Oracle court case, a lower court ruled to invalidate an Oracle patent. Now, a federal court has given Oracle the patent back.
Oracle releases Oracle Marketing Cloud products for colleges and data-as-a-service users, and a judge decides to keep the Oregon lawsuit in-state.
Oracle's third-quarter financial results look very similar to last year's, but with constant currency the picture is much brighter. And the Oracle cloud business was particularly strong, company execs said.
Cloud applications are no longer curious IT experiments -- now they're often on shortlists of deployment options.
New database updates address large-scale applications. Included are Couchbase Server 4.0 with multidimensional scaling support and VoltDB 5.0 with links to Hadoop data streaming tools.
Chief data officers are becoming more prevalent in companies, and more necessary, consultant John Ladley said in a webinar -- so much so that he thinks 2015 could be 'the year of the CDO.'
Replication across AWS cloud regions is now a checkbox item in the management console, circumventing homegrown and third-party tools.
Load balancing AWS apps ensures availability and scalability. Using Auto Scaling in conjunction with AWS ELB takes disaster recovery a step further.
AWS gives IaaS users an ability to build apps in Elastic Beanstalk. This strengthens its PaaS message and puts more emphasis on the applications.
The adoption of self-service BI and analytics tools continues to grow. But understanding how to support their use is a must -- and that starts with a solid architecture for analytics.
Technologies that support real-time data streaming and analytics aren't for everyone, but they can aid organizations that need to quickly assess large volumes of incoming information.
Fundraising for charitable organizations can be extremely competitive, so some nonprofits are turning to self-service BI to help gain an edge in attracting donors and improving operations.
You can use CRM systems to manage processes in business units other than sales.
While marketers increasingly rely on digital marketing methods, don't overlook direct mail. When used correctly, it can foster customer engagement.
Microsoft is trying to lead customers to the cloud with hybrid offerings, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM. But will that succeed?
IoT technology and mobile apps generate new concerns, including how to create interconnected digital experiences for users.
Responsive design can help a website display properly on a wide range of devices, but sometimes mobile apps are better suited to business needs.
SharePoint Online can reduce costs and ease management headaches, but not without a few functionality tradeoffs. Companies should be familiar with shortcomings before making the move into the cloud.
Zuora's Tyler Sloat shares his CFO strategies for succeeding in the subscription economy.
Software uses brain games to distinguish people and connect them with employers that are looking for applicants with preferred character traits and values.
Spending in human resources technology is not resulting in improved outcomes, warns a new Deloitte report.

Gwen Stefani And Apollo Wear Matching Plaid Ensembles To Visit The Grandparents
Posted on Tue Mar 31st, 2015 11:08am PDT By X17 Staff
To Grandmother's house they go!
Gwen Stefani and baby Apollo are just the cutest duo ever! The mother/son team were decked out to head to Gwen's parents' house in Los Angeles. Earlier in the day, the 45-year-old and her youngest made a trip to the acupuncturist.
For the day's events, the mom-of-three opted for a pair of plaid harem pants and a white tank. We dream of Gwennie!
Similarly, her 13-month-old was dressed in a plaid diaper cover and funky t-shirt. That's one stylish baby!

Black spots - sunburn?
A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a small experiment: pot one of my healthiest Jalapeños into a big-ish pot. It's so big that it doesn't fit in my grow frame, but luckily we've had good sun during the day for some time now, so I moved it permanently to the kitchen table. Here it enjoys full sun 6-10 hours a day (depending on whether or not I am home to move it throughout the day).
I noticed that the plant has developed lots of dark spots on its leaves. I'm a total beginner, so this may mean nothing. But I'm curious if it can be either sunburn, or too little light (like I said, as little as 6 hours of direct sunlight). Or some deficiency of some sort.
One of the lower leaves on the "sick" plant:
One of the top leaves:
Some leaves on another Jalapeño that was sowed on the same day. It's received the exact same treatment, except it's in a smaller pot and mostly gets artificial lighting. However, I do put it on the windowsill as well almost daily. When I do, it's there 7-8 hours, enjoying full sun (through the window).
The two plants, side by side (the right one being the spotty one):
The healthy-looking plant is subjected to a fan on a semi-regular basis, the spotty one is not. The spotty one has sat through a little bit of draft as the porch door has been open on sunny days, but it's never gotten very low temperatures.
What say ye, people of vast experience?
That doesn't look like sunburn to me. Sunburn usually puts a whitish-silvery sheen over a broad area of the leaf, then gradually withers or just stays the same.
No idea what you have. It looks kind of like the damage you get after spraying a leaf with Safer's soap to control aphids.
I guess that's possible, although not very likely. I have only given it fertilizer twice I think. And I've not given it any more fertilizer than any of my other plants, and this is the biggest one. However, the bigger pot probably caused it to absorb more fertilizer.
Is there a fix? Wash out the soil? Wait?
I think your plant is fine. Sun burn or sun damage comes in many different forms. I burned leaves plenty of times my first two seasons. I had a habanero leaves burn brown, two Bhuts burned white and a few other a silver sheen. Thats when i found out dont harden off in mid-afternoon sun lol, i now harden off with the morning sun it works out better. So it could be slight sun burn or not but at this point if its not getting worse would not worry.
The plant definitely is not fine. The new foliage at the top stopped growing entirely, and turned spotty black and wrinkled. I figured I could try pruning the plant to see if it would branch out lower. Well, two weeks later the plant looks pretty much the same. Just noticed one of its few remaining leaves have fallen off. Will probably can the plant. It's my first to die, and I have many, but I'm still curious what happened to it...
So sorry to hear your story. I'm wondering now if it might have been some kind of fungus, like possibly sooty mold. Just in case it's contagious, you should probably throw away the potting mix it was in and clean the pot well before using it again. Have any of your other plants shown similar symptoms?
I do not think that is sunburned. Within a few hours I know my plants got sunburned. The color of the leaves may different as other posters mentioned. The tender leaves usually pale/silver/whitish/transparent and old leaves sometimes looks a bit brown. Even in the shaded place I should not put my seedlings long time but I put very long time as a result I lost many healthy plants. As much as possible the shortest time in the shaded area is the best. Once it burned then there is no solution. The plant may die or have to wait many days/weeks for new leaves.
Partially sunburned leaves:
I had similar problems like yours. I did not get any solution and I think it was soil and nutrients related. When the soil are too dry then the nutrients are locked cause so many problems to the plants. When the bottom soils are dried and the upper are wet the plants do not die but the plant may have many problems.
The discoloration of the leaves like yours won't kill the plants.
The plant finally caved today. I kept it around for quite some time. It started putting on some new growth, and I originally picked all the original leaves. The new growth looked great, so I was kinda excited. Then a sudden draft sent it smashing to the floor, and the stem broke, leaving the plant with no leaves at all. So that was it. Took a look at the root ball, and it was nice and big, so it doesn't seem like there was really anything wrong with the plant.

Woman charged with killing elderly father
BALL GROUND, Ga. -- A Cherokee County woman was arrested Thursday for murdering her father, two days after she was first charged with concealing his death.
Andrea Blanton, 45, is being held without bond in the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center.

Blanton lived with her father, 77-year-old James Reece, at a house on Northridge Road in Ball Ground. She was her father's primary caregiver, according to Cherokee County Sheriff's Lt. Jay Baker.
Deputies performed a welfare check Tuesday at the house, where they found Reece's body and determined he'd been dead for several days. Baker said Blanton had been living in the home with the decomposing body.

Food + Travel
Where to Take Her 2013
The perfect trip isn't just about where; it's about why. So before you book two tickets to the first Caribbean-island resort with complimentary buffet tickets, ask yourself: What exactly does my girl need from a vacation right now? Then turn the page to find the laid-back beach escapes, poolside party scenes, and civilization-free hideaways she's been dreaming of (and you've been secretly jonesing for)
Tuscany, Italy
You know those pictures of Tuscany—the ones with the toy trucks chugging up curvy roads, skinny cypress trees punctuating the rolling hills dotted with bales of hay that look planted by a Hollywood set designer? The woman sitting on the couch next to you does. She loves it there. The pocket of idyll she's picturing is the Val d'Orcia region, forty minutes south of Siena, and it's famous for two very wonderful things: Pecorino and Brunello. In the middle of it all is a hotel your girlfriend's seen in her head before. Hotel Monteverdi is basically her dream-home Pinterest board come to life: travertine floors, wood-beam ceilings, waterfall showers, plush canopy beds. The alfresco dining area, roofed with vines, is so twinkly, so charming, you'll want to quit your job and write a screenplay starring Kate Hudson. Or you could rent a private villa (Monteverdi has three) and hire the hotel's chef to whip up pici al tartufo for two, topped off with Tenuta di Trinoro wine. It's almost unfair to her, this kind of weapons-grade romance.—Danielle Pergament

Window Shopping: Ikea's New Stuff!
Dude, my last trip to Ikea made me weak in the knees (especially since they rolled out a bunch of new stuff) so I took a bunch of photos for ya. Not for compensation or anything – these sprees are just for fun. So here's a little virtual store tour for ya. Let's get down to bid-ness.
Check out this gorgeous chair. I want him. Bad. This guy is the Storsele and it's $119. The black lacquer-ish finish had me at hello.
There were also these beauties: Hogsten ($89.99) & Storsele in yellow ($119.99). Doesn't that sound like a fancy store that sells… ties? Or cigars? Welcome to Hogsten & Storsele. It has a nice ring to it, right? And on a different subject, I totally want two yellow Storseles in my sunroom. I need me some Storsele, stat!
Then there are these guys. The name? Vittsjo (the small one is $40 and the big is $70). There have been some pretty awesome blogosphere makeovers with these guys (sprayed gold, white, teal, etc). Love that.
We also gave this little Stockholm Sofa Table ($199) a few looks. It's charmingly mid-century-modern-ish. Nice legs ya got there girl.
They also had these new colored Malm dressers, which were $49.99 for the small one and $79.99 for the large one. I thought the teal color was nice and muddy (not too neon, sort of moody and smokey).
There were also these Slatthult stickers for $9.99, which could probably look pretty sweet in the right application (I'm picturing them in girl's room with light light light pink walls and a bunch of white furniture and bedding) so it's a pretty little pop of flower power in an otherwise understated space.
We tried to link to as many things as we could find on ikea.com in this post, so if you don't see a link/price it's just because we couldn't find it (but if you love something I would just go to ikea.com or the store to see if you can find more info). No idea what this table's name is but I thought he was charming. The price was good too, although I don't remember it. I know, I'm useless. Haha.
Oh yeah and I liked this little pantry. Probably because I have a pantry obsession (someday I WILL have one!). It was just a small room they added shelving to (the Broder series) and made it all organized and pantry like. Cuteness.
Then we stopped to watch the cabinet drawers open and close a million times like a big kitchen robot (it's a little durability demonstration). Clara was mesmerized.
Speaking of Clara, I thought this cute kid bedding was sweet. I could totally picture the woodland duvet on the left working in a rustic space with a faux sheepskin rug and some raw wood floors and beams. And the modern green duvet on the right would be sweet in a room with dark charcoal walls and sleek white furniture.
When it came to adult bedding, this Malin Blad duvet ($19.99) was cute. It was sort of inky, like someone sketched it with a ball point pen.
I grabbed two of these $7 pillow covers (Malin Figur) – couldn't resist them. I could totally build an entire big girl room for Clara around them. Completely smitten.
This map pillow was cute too (Benzy Land, $12.99). Might look dapper in a navy den with lots of wood furniture and a brick fireplace. Kinda cozy meets pirate. Is that a decor style?
Of course I stopped to gaze up at all the fun fabrics (here's their fabric page). These two were my favorites. The one on the left felt like a very very abstract ikat with the same soft colors as the pillow covers I got. Pretty. And the one on the right was sort of a modern floral illustration. So cool.
I'm also forever in love with these curtains. I'm pretty sure I take a picture of them every time we go.
John and I aren't the only ones who check out curtains, here's Clara completely immersing herself in curtain hunting. She was hilarious.
This kids light was also pretty funny (Ikea PS) since you could fill it with anything. So from matchbox cars to finger puppets or whatever else your kid is into, it's kinda fun. Heck, it would be sweet full of colorful spools of thread in a craft room or playroom too.
This $10 poster was cute too (Bild, cosmos 4). Might have jumped in our cart since it looked so cute with my pillow covers. Yes, apparently I'm already well on the way to completing Clara's big girl room (meanwhile the playroom is completely full of secret book stuff and unfinished projects that we have to deal with first). Oh well, at least I'm ready when that day comes…
This new little potting/storage bench was pretty cute too (Applaro, $126.96). The colorful blue planters on the top shelf = my kinda pots.
We also checked the As-Is section for deals and saw this guy sitting there waiting for someone to take him home. It looked new and was 33% off (and already assembled, which can be a huge plus if you have a big enough car to cart him home like that).
And so ends our Ikea adventure. Anyone else been there poking around lately? Were you as smitten with Hogsten and Storsele? Did you indulge in a delectable ice cream cone on the way out?
Notice we (and by we I mean Clara) had a little outfit change since we were heading to see the family? Probably should have done that after the ice cream cone…
Psst- Once again for the people in the back, we weren't paid or perked for this post, I just like taking you guys shopping with me. Check out all of our other Window Shopping sprees (both here in Richmond and on the road, in big box stores or small local shops) here.
Pssst- We're over on Young House Life talking about Burger. Specifically, what he doesn't like. Dude's got opinions.

Ooh, what if you put a laundry area in your new garage and made the current laundry area a pantry??
(although it's so perfect as a laundry area…)
Ha, I was just there a few weeks ago (which is a big deal because our closest Ikea is in Minnesota). I couldn't believe how much better and more expensive looking their new stuff is. Here is a link to my favorites: http://ourhumbleabowedblog.com/2012/07/16/ikeas-greatest-hits/ Love the fabric you snagged. I didn't see that there…
I love the blue and white duvet – infact I might have to nip to ikea this weekend to check it out. Also the icat fabric was lovely, just don't think it will go in our flat.
Not that I care in the slightest bit, IKEA window shopping is always a very exciting thing since I have sadly only made it to an IKEA once (several hours away) but…
It looks to me that these pics aren't all from your "latest" trip to IKEA?? Either that or Clara had a costume change and you re-bought the napkins for her party?? lol ;)
I always always can take a good IKEA window shopping. Love that new chair too! Maybe one day you'll have a garage pantry.
You know those curtains you love?? I HAVE THEM IN MY LIVING ROOM!! I love them too :)
You see them in action in this post in the bottom pic.
are the "berries" on the curtains red or pink?
I was just looking through the catalog this morning and when I saw the Storsele chair I immediately thought of you guys! LOVE that chair!!
LOVE all of it! That bench at the end might have to come home with me.
We bought the curtain version of the Malin Figur pillows the DAY they hit stores. (I may or may not have ran in a rabid-fashion at the poor IKEA person stocking the shelves with them when I saw them.)
Ahh! Love how you guys have so much fun in IKEA! I always want to go but alas it is not my other half's idea of a fun time. They are generally in irritating locations in the UK, with 40 minute car park queues any time you want to go – boo! Ooh and I also love how you have dressed Clara up in IKEA colours for her big trip! Hehe – foreshadowing?!
Keep it up Petersiks x x
We'll be heading there tomorrow for a new dresser for our daughter. I hope the rest of the family tolerates some browsing. Maybe I can bribe them with cinnamon rolls. :)
(We live about 2 miles from the Baltimore Ikea. Lucky us!)
What am I doing this weekend? I am assembling 10 Ikea kitchen cabinets, so I will let you know how it goes. We are putting a mostly Ikea kitchen in a weekend cabin we are building in the West Virgina mountains. It will be a small get-away with a small kitchen. So far the Ikea experience has been great! I hope we are still feeling pleased once we assemble/build the kitchen in! There is a lot of work ahead this weekend…wish me luck!
Good luck! Once you get the first one together, they all go pretty quickly – we did an IKEA kitchen in our house and absolutely love it.
ikea is always a winner! last weekend i found the cutest multi-colored striped throw in the as-is section that was marked down from $19 to $2 with no visible defects.
once i got it home, i noticed that it totally fit the bill as a quilt for my toddler's big girl bed (you can see her room here http://623designs.tumblr.com/post/24885840030/little-a-s-little-girl-room)
it was just in the nick of time, too, since her previous blanket is going to be passed down to her new little brother or sister arriving in a few weeks.) :)
forgot the link to the throw: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60226572/
love it!
The table's name is Bjursta. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70116262/
He just came home with us last sunday to keep Henri I through VI company! http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39861423/
Might the chairs be Kaustby?
Had them in red for years (still have them in storage) – they were great, sturdy and durable and super-comfy!
Ooooh! I LOVE Ikea! I usually get to enjoy myself for about an hour, then my husband gets cranky and tired. But he wont let me go alone because we don't have the same tastes haha.
i have been looking for a chair for our nursery. the hogsten might be perfect. thanks for sharing!!!
I love Ikea trips… our last one was to work on a big girl room for our three year old. Mission? A twin sized bed and a bookshelf. Purchased? Bed, cubbies, kitchen storage containers, straws, (who doesn't need a supply of brightly colored bendy straws?) a full dinnerware set for said 3 year old, and drawer organizers for everyone in the family.
That table looks like it might be BJÖRKUDDEN- I purchased it for my father 6 months ago. I could be wrong… but they look very very similar.
This had pretty much nothing to do with this post (which is awesome, LOVE me some IKEA, though my husband doesn't allow me to go there much…..)BUT, I just wanted to say I've been reading you guys for years and years and you've been a huge source of inspiration for me,both in my home and blogging-wise.
Yesterday I quit my job to stay home and write. And I never ever would have been able to do that if it weren't for awesome bloggers like you guys.
So thanks, really and truly.
Congratulations!!! You are a mighty, mighty mammal!
The chairs look like they are cousins of the egg – may be why they catch your eyes
And the curtains you take pictures of everytime? Are you sure you don't have that design somewhere in the house?
Thanks for the tour – we don't have an ikea anywhere close – which, I suppose could be a good thing
I feel good because the map pillow is in our living room, and the Malin Figur fabric is the new "door" to our daughter's soon to be big girl bedroom! Been following you forever, your good taste is rubbing off on me!
I'm pretty sure that dining table might be the one we have http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60152340/#/60152340. It can seat approx. 10 people with the two extra leaves. LOVE this table. Although the overhang on your pic makes me think maybe it's not. Hmmmmm
OHHH EMM GEEE I want the last one! The dresser in the as is section! If I could change my answer for the contest, I would print one of those! I love it!
I dont see it on line, you don't by chance remember the name of it do you? It looks like it says Edland?
I love the last one, too! I actually have a few pieces from that set in my bedroom and have been searching all over for another bed side table, but could never remember the name! Turns out it's been discontinued :(
Love, love, love Storsele!! We just got the catalog last night, and I'm totally planning a trip to go visit our local store ASAP! I wish I had a sunroom, because I'd totally fill it with Storseles. I'm thinking it could also be a really cool chair in a nursery (not that I would know anything about that, just that it's so awesome – and that would be my next opportunity to bring another chair into the house).
I think I also saw some teal-ish faux silk looking curtains in the catalog – which might work in nicely with the master bedroom redo I'm secretly planning. Since we changed the bathroom, I kind of want to update somethings in the bedroom to coordinate with it.
Wow, i just saw at least 7 things i need in your pictures. Even more if you count the things in the background that I spotted too! I've never had an ice cream cone from ikea but now that I've seen Clara's that is a definite priority on my next Ikea shopping list. I love your shopping list blogs! I get so many great ideas from them!
Loveeee that bench planter!! That wasn't at the Philly one a few weeks ago! I love your window shopping posts! PS love Clara's future big girl room accessories so far!
aww man, no reader redesign this week? oh well, ikea is fun too. :)
That's what I was thinking too. I love those :)

AES E-Library
Important CCIR-Standards for the Audio-World
Different opinions exist on principal quality aims in audio studio technology. Therefore different interpretation of standards to the same problem was the result. Herein, technical and commercial interests are often opposing. Broadcasting and television organizations should respect the point of view of the listener and conditions of the international program exchange. At the example of "Audio Frequency Noise Measurement" and the status now reached with CCIR recommendation 468-3, it will be informed on results of the special working group 10-C "AP Characteristics of Sound Broadcasting Systems" of Study Group 10 of CCIR. Furthermore, several other important CCIR documents are explained which are not known in general in the AES, but which should be taken into consideration at work on the development of quality in AF.

Controlling monitors & video projectors with RandR
RandR replaces most legacy options for combining multiple displays, such as TwinView, MergedFB, and more prominently, Xinerama. What RandR actually does is combine two displays to give you a single large display. For example, RandR will combine two displays with a resolution of 1280x1024 to give you a large screen with 2560x1024 pixels. If the vertical resolutions of the two displays are different, RandR will select the larger of the two when determining the vertical resolution of the virtual display. This approach creates an invisible area below the bottom edge of the smaller of the two displays (Figure 2).
A - -query to XRandR tells you the minimum, current, and maximum resolutions that the virtual display supports. Depending on your distribution, the maximum resolution might be too small to run two monitors at full resolution. If so, you can correct the value then restart the X server. To do this, take the highest summed value for the resolution of the two displays and add a line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file "Display" subsection, such as Virtual 2560 1024. After setting the maximum size of the virtual display and running xrandr - -query to make sure that the mode is available, use the following command to link the two displays
$ xrandr --output LVDS --auto -- left-of VGA --output VGA --auto
replacing LVDS and VGA with your physical output ports – for example, HDMI-1, HDMI-2, DVI, or VGA. If the first of the two displays listed (LVDS in this example) is located on the right physically, replace --left-of with --right-of, or change the order of the ports in the command. Instead of --auto for native resolution, add a - -mode option to specify a different resolution.
RandR and Windows
If you fear that a large virtual display will stretch your windows (or the kicker) over two screens, fear not. The window manager (KWin for KDE, Metacity for Gnome) prevents this behavior. RandR uses the Xinerama protocol to tell the window manager where the borders of the physical displays are located within the virtual display. What the window manager actually does with this information depends on your current configuration.
The desktop, including the wallpaper, will normally cover both screens, and you can move windows between the two displays. If you maximize a window, it will be restricted to the size of one of the displays (Figure 3). The kicker also appears on just one of the two screens – in many cases you can't specify which one. The developers need to put some more work into this issue.
If you use a single-head display that you can pivot through 90 degrees, the following command will rotate the output:
$ xrandr --output LVDS --rotate left
This command also works on tablet PCs or similar devices (Figure 4). Note that the vertical resolution of the virtual display must match the horizontal resolution of the monitor and vice versa.

Publishers WeeklyThis effervescent collaboration introduces a spunky girl who embarks on fanciful adventures with Stanley, her old gray stuffed rabbit. One day, as Emily and Stanley are "launching themselves into outer space to look for alien life-forms," the chief footman to Queen Gloriana the Third arrives at the door, announcing that the royal wants Emily's bunny in exchange for a new gold teddy bear. Deeming the bear "horrible" ("It had staring eyes and no smile at all"), the outraged lass politely refuses the offer. Next, while the duo is motorbiking through the Sahara, an army captain extends the queen's new terms: in exchange for Stanley, she'll give Emily the teddy and 10 dolls that say "Mama, Mama." Still no deal. After the navy and the air force attempt to bribe the unyielding girl, special commandos sneak into her bedroom one night and steal Stanley. The infuriated youngster storms into the castle, where she rescues Stanley (miserable from the queen's attempts to clean him up) and hands the young monarch the new gold teddy, instructing her to play and sleep with him, and to "be sure to have lots of adventures. And then maybe one day you will wake up with a real toy of your OWN." Cowell (How to Be a Pirate) slyly slips a worthy message into her whimsical tale, which is given ample comic dimension by Neal's (Oscar and Arabella) zany and inventive mixed-media illustrations. Ages 3-7. (Apr.)

Short, hardy blue/purple salvias with good foliage?
I really like East Friesland salvia and have a lot of it. But are there any other hardy blue/purple salvias with foliage as neat and tidy as East Friesland salvia? And I need for the plant height to not exceed 24".
I just planted a S. verticilata 'Purple Rain' that sounds as if it might work for you. I like it so much for the front of the boarder that I think I'll get more. The leaves are large and grow in a lowish clump with tall spires of darker purple-blue. It's suppose to get to be 2' tall. ?
What about the Salvia Marcus. I think it is a nemarosa (sp?). It is a beautiful blue/purple color and looked very neat. It is smaller and I believe doesn't grow over 12", labled as 8". I had some but exchanged it for something bigger. Now I want to go back and get the Marcus for another area that I think would do better then the annual salvias that I have planted.

Android's Move to SD feature is incompatible with some of the features of WootWatcher, so I can't enable it. If you're using a custom ROM that can force an app to be stored on SD, don't move WootWatcher to SD or you will have reliability problems.
If you have any problems at all, let me know! Emails go straight to my phone.
If you are getting the woot items but no images, check to make sure your SD card and phone storage are not full. This is the main cause of missing images, since WootWatcher doesn't have any place to put them.
I have recently joined Woot's "Minions" program, which is an affiliate program that helps fund WootWatcher development. Here's how it works: If you click a button in WootWatcher that opens the browser and takes you to the Woot.com site, it first goes to one of cj.com's tracking servers. That server places a cookie in your browser. If you end up purchasing something from Woot.com using your mobile device, that cookie is used to give me credit for sending you there. Woot then pays me a small percentage of the total cost of your purchase, except for stuff on Wine.Woot. If you happen to use an ad blocker on your device, it may block those links. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Beyond the Woot.com Minions program, I have no official relationship or affiliation with Woot.

How To Frost A Glass Side Door (And Avoid Bubbles)
It's no secret that the real improvement we need to make to our new laundry area is in the upgrading to energy efficient appliances arena along with adding some nice built-in storage to maximize that tiny room. But as we save up and plan for those upgrades, we took a few hours after Clara's bedtime a few days ago to tackle some smaller items on our laundry list. Pun intended.
First we went to work on the glass side door. You know, the one that gave everyone a straight shot from our carport, through the laundry area and into our kitchen (here I am being creepy and demonstrating the problem, which you can read more about here).
Since we were eager to get rid of this bi-fold door that was currently acting as a privacy solution in the interim…
… at first we figured we'd throw up a cheap wooden blind over the glass side door, remove the dark pocket door, and consider our problem solved. Well, after buying a bamboo rolling shade from Home Depot, we realized how much light it blocked and after learning that our kitchen is a black hole in the mornings (it's the only room with no windows to the outside world- the window above the sink looks out into the sunroom) we didn't want anything that would block too much light.
That's when we opted to go the frosting film route. We used the same materials / techniques that we employed in our basement a while ago, so you can read that step-by-step guide here (and see what film we chose). The only issue we ran into this time was bubbles.
Some serious, annoying, won't-go-away bubbles. You always have these at some point of this process, but it usually just takes a few squeegees to get them out. But these bubbles weren't bursting, no matter how hard Sherry squeegeed. And it totally burst our bubble (too corny- had to cross it out).
We hoped it was just an issue with not having applied enough applicator spray to each surface, but we feared it was a problem with the temperature of the side door (instructions said not to apply it in under 40 degree weather, which it definitely was on the other side of that glass). We crossed our fingers, peeled off the permanently bubbled film, scraped some residual glue off of the window, and readied ourselves to try again (fortunately our leftover scrap of film was perfectly sized for a second attempt). And this time we used a boatload more of the applicator solution to keep things nice and slippery so no bubbles could take permanent hold.
And it worked. Phew.
Our next little project was the removal of those shelves next to the door. We love bonus storage just as much as the next blogger, but we couldn't figure out exactly what we'd want there since it's not concealed- and we learned that coming through the door with our hands full meant that we routinely bumped into whatever was on those shelves anyway. So we decided to take them down and instead turn it into a place to hang art or a frame collage someday. Every laundry room needs a little space for the eye to rest and art always makes it feel a bit more welcoming and less utilitarian. At least that's what the wife says. She's more of the decorating brains. And I'm the take-those-shelves-down brawn. Although Sherry does get down with the power tools when the mood strikes.
While I was in the midst of unscrewing things (despite it being about 10:30pm) we thought we'd keep the momentum going and get rid of the shutters on the laundry room window too (to make room for an eventual set of blinds/roman shade/curtain).
So by morning, our laundry area was looking more like this:
No shutters, no shelves, but a bit of touch up painting to be done.
And we're still getting a nice stream of morning light coming into the otherwise pitch black kitchen in the early morning. Frosting film was definitely the (nice cheap) way to go.
Have you guys frosted windows with the same film stuff from Home Depot? Have you ever encountered the not-coming-out-no-matter-how-hard-you-squeegee-bubble problem? Was it due to temperature or lack of applicator spray? Or something else entirely?

I am very impressed at how motivated you guys are after the little bean is asleep. WoW! Everything looks great.
Am already imagining a lighter, brighter kitchen. Way to go, guys!
Looks great!
I did the same thing in my laundry room immediately after moving in last fall – except to a window. Neighbors and people walking down the street could see right in while I was working so after seeing you do the basement, I tried it. Love it – so thank you!!
I tried to frost the glass doors of our kitchen cabinets with Ikea's film… but couldn't get rid of the bubbles, and it looked horrible! It's staying as it is for now. But since we use those cabinets as the "pantry", it looks a bit messy (even though it's pretty organized) and we'd really like to frost them. Maybe I'll try again using more spray like you suggested!
Won't you lose the light once you upgrade the carport to a garage?
I have a window above the back door in my house that was giving me grief, and I considered the frosted film…but I was too lazy to measure it so I used frosted spray paint! Same look, less work…hahaha!
Right after we moved into our house in April of 2009, I attempted to apply the same frost film to the french doors leading to our bathroom. Since I am modest, I was not exactly thrilled with having a glass shower door and glass doors leading to the bathroom. Anyone coming up the stairs could see the person showering in all their glory.
I believe this was my first project in our new house. Yeah. I failed. The window dividers weren't removable so I had about 16 rectangles to do. On the first on I used the edge trimmer tool included in the kit and it left a huge (ok maybe just 1/4 inch) gap between the film and the trim. Not the look I was going for. I ditched the tool for the next one. That one actually went fine so I continued but each one kept getting worse and worse. Bubbles and more bubbles. The cuts weren't looking right. Then the section where the film was bent in the box wouldn't come out. The bent part stuck out causing one long skinny bubble. Maybe I needed more solution. I was doing this by myself and after about 5 rectangles I quit.
Those 5 rectangles still have the film on them. The rest are clear glass.
However, we rarely close the bathroom doors anyway so it doesn't really matter. Might be a different story when we have teenagers.
Sorry for the long story. Thanks for this post. Now that I know a lack of solution might have been my problem, maybe I will try it again.
Love the new house btw!
Yes, you have to keep the light coming in. I like the frosted window. Great idea! The laundry room looks so small. Will you be able to fit a non-stackable washer and dryer in there? And the shelves by the door definitely were NOT practical. I would have removed them too. :)
Great idea!!!
our front door had some see through glass so we used the "frosted glass" spray paint. we did have to take the glass panel out to make sure we didn't over spray and get paint on the door itself!
We frosted a side panel near our front door (because I didn't want to have to custom order a tiny blind or curtain) and the frosting has a really nice pattern in it. I absolutely love it because it completely gives us privacy while still looking very stylish. The best part of all is that it was FREE because my best friend had extra from doing her window at her house :)
I work for a screen printing company that deals with decals/window clings all the time- I have customers calling me when it's 20 degrees outside and trying to put a static cling on a freezing cold window. It doesn't work. Science! When they tell you application temperature is 40, it usually will work if it's above 30, but no colder than that. Extra water/windex/whatever you're using to apply it will help, but ultimately, the temperature of the window makes a HUGE difference.
Love what you're doing with the house!
I just love your diy projects! I hope I have the time to do mine too. :)
Your frosted glass project reminded me of putting an invisible shield on my phone. Very easy…I had a husband to do it for me. Hahaha!
I've never frosted a window/door before, but now that I know how easy it is, I just may very well tackle it!
It looks great, and I'm in agreement with the shelves by that door needing to go. As great as the extra storage space would have been, the bumping hazard seemed to outweigh that!
I love that you guys are tackling the "little things" first but they're already making a HUGE difference in the new place!
I used a spray that frosts glass (found in the spray paint section). I was worried it wouldn't be even, but it worked like a charm. It comes off with acetone so it was great for an apartment I lived in.
Just found your blog a couple of weeks ago. Love it. In regards to the film, I used film that I bought at either Home Depot or Lowe's for my bathroom window. Unfortunately, I cut it too small so I had to cut a teeny tiny piece for the bottom. It actually looked great, though I, too, had the "bubble issue". They eventually went away so I don't know if it was the humidity that created the bubbles. I will say that the teeny tiney piece for the bottom has fallen off a bit and you can now see outside (or inside if you really really want to). I have a very shear curtain covering the window, and used the film to keep the light in what could be a pretty dark bathroom.
You guys have accomplished a lot in a short time, way to go! We worked on doing things around our house for a month before we moved in since we still had our apartment. I was so glad just to knock out the basic things (remove popcorn ceiling, paint every single thing, and change out most light fixtures) without furniture getting in the way.
Looks good,we used the same stuff in our bathroom window (that was located inside the shower!).
Just a thought- what are you going to do about light in the kitchen when you build the garage? That will probably kill any light that is coming in now, will you have a window/ skylight in there?
Wow, that looks so-o-o much better with the film on and the shelves and blinds gone. Are you thinking of putting in a tube light or skylight down the line? Although I'm sure once there's a doorway into the dining room that will also change the lighting in there.
I actually like the spray frost. It seems so much easier (I guess I don't have the patience to cut nicely and get out all of those ugle bubbles). Love that you get some privacy while keeping all of that natural light!
We used that frosty film stuff before and actually moved the leftover roll and kit. I have the perfect door to do in our garage next.
I was wondering what you were thinking about doing about the lack of light in your kitchen. We had the identical problem, but in our living room. What a depressing room to have so little sunlight!
After a year of living with it, I saw these tubular skylights being installed on Holmes on Homes on tv. I guess they look like a can light on the ceiling, but let in tons of natural light. I have 2 companies coming to give me quotes this week and next…but I'd love to hear if you have an alternate plan for that little "problem."
Just got the most awesome "light" put in our dark (read: no window) laundry room. It's called a "solatube" that utilizes some shiny aluminum tubing (I think it's aluminum) to bounce sunny rays into the room. Even on an overcast day the room is bright enough not to have to turn on the light (which we still have for nighttime laundry duties). Best of all it qualified for a 30% tax credit. This could be a great solution for your kitchen. We are having one installed in our kitchen too, as even with windows, it's in the northeast corner of our home and is dark in the afternoons.
As for the frosted window panes, we installed some frosty film to our master bath and haven't regretted it once. Nice light and privacy to go around. We even painted the master in your famous "gentle tide" color and it is beautiful!
I have a potential bubble-bursting query: Though you have an open carport now, I seem to recall that plans are in the works to turn said carport into a closed garage – Won't that eliminate all of that natural light into the kitchen? I am with you on preferring a closed garage to a carport, but if it's going to close off all natural light to the kitchen that's a bummer! I cannot remember if the door comes straight from the carport or if there is a gap and the carport is not immediately attached to the house, but if so that is something to think about!
Any tips on putting up the frosting?? I tried it on our bathroom window and used a whole roll…and still have nothing on the window. Plus I have two sidelights I'd like to do. I can't seem to get the measurements right and it just looked awful! I really need to put it up in our bathroom!
Wow that does look good! I always thought that frosted glass was for greenhouses, pimped cars and meth houses! Yours looks surprisingly great!

On Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, guest host Terry Keenan asked if the riots that occurred in Kabul, Afghanistan, were the work of "a small group of troublemakers" or whether "the Afghan people [are] simply ungrateful?" During the segment, onscreen text read "Afghan Ingrates?" and "Is Afghanistan being Ungrateful Towards America?"

Fox News' Sean Hannity falsely claimed that President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said they believe that in 18 months, "the new [Iraqi] prime minister [Nuri Kamal al-Maliki] will have security forces capable of taking control of all Iraqi provinces." But neither Bush nor Blair made such a statement. Responding to a reporter's question about whether it is "realistic to think that Iraqi forces will be able to take control of all Iraq by the end of next year," Bush did not address the issue, while Blair merely said it is "possible."
For at least the third time, Fox News' Jim Angle repeated misleading characterizations of the National Security Agency's (NSA) domestic surveillance program.
CNN's Lou Dobbs stated that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "told CNN Iran could make a nuclear bomb within months." Dobbs was referring to an interview CNN host Wolf Blitzer conducted with Olmert, in which Olmert stated: "The question is when will [Iran] cross the technological line that will allow them at any given time, within six or eight months, to have nuclear bomb?" and answered his own question, asserting that the "threshold ... can be measured by months, rather than years." But Dobbs neglected to mention that the U.S. intelligence community disagrees with Olmert's assessment.
On Fox News' Journal Editorial Report, Wall Street Journal editorial board member Robert Pollock falsely claimed that former undersecretary of defense Douglas J. Feith "was more right than the CIA" about "Saddam's links to Al Qaeda." In fact, Feith's assertions that Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship have been downplayed by the Department of Defense, discredited by the 9-11 Commission, and contradicted by various other sources as documented in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Newsweek.
On Today, Kelly O'Donnell uncritically reported President Bush's claim that the formation of a new government in Iraq is a "fundamental change." Similarly, the Associated Press' Nedra Pickler noted that Bush "embraced the new leadership in Iraq as a turning point in the war." In fact, the Bush administration has touted several purportedly pivotal moments since the beginning of the Iraqi occupation, suggesting each time that the situation in Iraq was about to improve.
On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, host Sean Hannity and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth co-founder John E. O'Neill attacked Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) for saying that a pending military report will show that U.S. Marines deliberately killed innocent Iraqi citizens during a November 2005 raid in Haditha. Murtha served in the Marines for 37 years prior to joining the United States Congress. Yet, while condemning Murtha for discussing the Haditha incident, Hannity did not similarly fault Fox chief White House correspondent Brett Baier, who earlier that day also noted the pending report.
Bill O'Reilly used his interview with Donald Rumsfeld to attack David Letterman, asking Rumsfeld, "Why does a guy like David Letterman think this whole Iraq thing is some kind of corrupt, ridiculous adventure?" and "[H]ave you ever analyzed why he thinks that way?" O'Reilly appeared on CBS' Late Show in January to discuss the so-called "war on Christmas," among other topics, and was told by Letterman: "I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap."
Loading the player leg...
In reporting on the formation of the Iraqi cabinet, ABC's Good Morning America, CBS's The Early Show, and NBC's Today each failed to note that three of most critical positions in the new government -- the heads of the defense, national security, and interior ministries -- remain vacant.
On ABC's Nightline, co-anchor Terry Moran characterized "the U.S. claim that Saddam Hussein's regime had weapons of mass destruction" as "a total intelligence failure at the CIA." In fact, while much of the intelligence produced by the CIA before the Iraq war was indeed faulty, many of the Bush administration's most dramatic prewar claims had been called into question by the CIA or other intelligence agencies.
Reports by both ABC's World News Tonight and NBC's Nightly News on the Senate hearing for Gen. Michael Hayden's nomination to be CIA director aired Sen. Ron Wyden's (D-OR) comment that he had "a difficult time with [Hayden's] credibility." But neither network mentioned the reasons cited by Wyden to explain his concern, including Hayden's misleading statement to Congress in 2002 that the National Security Agency did not have the authority to electronically eavesdrop on residents without a warrant -- even as the NSA was reportedly conducting such surveillance.
On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity and John O'Neill, co-founder of the discredited Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth, attacked Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (NV) for saying that the American military presence in Iraq is helping to fuel the insurgency there, a position held by several U.S. generals conducting the war in Iraq.
Jim Angle falsely claimed that Sen. Carl Levin accused the Bush administration of "orchestrat[ing]" leaks to the media about its own domestic surveillance program. Media Matters for America has noted four other instances, all on Fox News' Special Report, in which Angle and other Fox News correspondents have cropped or misrepresented quotes from Democratic senators.
In his Los Angeles Times column, Max Boot mischaracterized the opposition to the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance programs, offered a misleading defense of the National Security Agency's reported call-tracking operation, and falsely claimed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act impeded a pre-9-11 terror investigation.

Can these bindings be compatible with a channel mounting pattern?
Best Answer: Yes, all union bindings can be used on boards with channel mounting. I don't recall if Danny Kass bindings shipped with the correct base plate for the channel system but you can order them from Unions part site C3 if not. These bindings rock, just do it!!!
