Casale, Louis Francis 89 Jan. 13, 1924 Jan. 14, 2013 The Casale Family mourns the sudden loss of their beloved patriarch. Lou passed away peacefully at Providence Milwaukie Hospital just one day after enjoying a beautiful party with his family, celebrating his 89th birthday. His entire immediate family, his wife and four children, as well as much of his extended family were by his side. Lou was surrounded in love at the time of his death, just as he was surrounded in love throughout his life. Lou was born in Southington, Conn. to Anna Marie and Pasquale Casale on Jan. 13, 1924, the seventh son of eight children. He was a first generation American, his parents having immigrated from Ventosa, Italy. After attending Lewis High School, he enrolled at Fork Union Military Academy. From there, Lou enlisted in the U.S. Navy and began his WWII service. A proud Navy man of squadron VPB-114, he served in the European/African Middle Eastern Campaign as the radio/radar operator in a B-24 Liberator bomber. Following an honorable discharge, Lou settled down in Philadelphia to begin pursuing a career in drama. A most fortunate and serendipitous decision that would define the rest of his life, he met his future wife Beulah Clarke there at The Bessie V. Hick's School of Dramatic Arts. Lou also started teaching ballroom dance classes at Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Baltimore, the same city where he married Beulah on June 13, 1952. All the while, Lou began to find stage success, landing roles in Milford, Conn.'s summer stock workshop and the Patchwork Theatre at Roanoke, Va. He and Beulah often shared the stage with such unknowns as Charles Bronson and Jack Klugman. Lou and Beulah moved to Los Angeles, where he continued with the Arthur Murray franchise becoming the managing director for a studio. He enrolled at UCLA and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, Theater. His family of four children, who soon followed, fondly recall the stories he told of being onstage at UCLA with another then unknown, Carol Burnett. He taught drama at Santa Monica City College while studying for his real estate license, which he earned in 1959. Lou had a natural affinity for making friends with everyone he met and the real estate business suited him well. An avid lover of dogs, he had man's best friend by his side all his life beginning with his sweet Cocker Spaniel "Lady Toots" who flew with him in the Liberator bomber. Everything about Toots was official, even her personal flight log. In 1964, he and Beulah, moved their family to Portland, where after success in local offices, he became a broker and founded Milwaukie Realty in 1967. He had found his niche and continued to thrive in the real estate business for over 30 years. An entirely kind and generous man, he would often give his commission back to the buyers to help them in closing the deal. He was a past president of the Clackamas County Board of Realtors and taught real estate ethics and ballroom dancing at CCC. His church home for 48 years was St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Milwaukie and he taught CCD classes for them for many years. In his retirement years, he and Beulah loved dancing and listening to music, watching movies, reading, shopping, gardening and visiting with their children and grandchildren. His sudden passing creates a huge loss for his family who will miss him deeply. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Beulah ('Bunny'); his children, Cindy (Patrick McDougall), John (Jill), Maria (Christopher Hanulik) and Elizabeth; his sister, Carmel (Frank Santy); eight grandchildren; and his multitude of cousins, nieces and nephews. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church located at 10955 SE 25th Ave., Milwaukie, on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013 at 10:30 a.m., preceded by a Rosary at 10 a.m. A Committal service will follow mass at Willamette National Cemetery, 11800 SE Mt. Scott Blvd., Portland. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to The Disabled American Veterans Association or St. John Baptist Catholic Church.

Just months following the US Court of Federal Claims rejection of the claim that the MMR vaccine causes autism, hereyou will see data from formal peer refereed medical papers showing that vaccines caused autism in Japanese children and will be doing the same to children around the world. The number of Japanese children developing autism rose and fell in direct proportion to the number of children vaccinated each year [click image for larger graph in new window]:-
[See end of page for alternative version of this graph normalised by annual % of children receiving MMR vaccination - but also showing the same correspondence as above graph.]
Flawed "Science" By Doctors Not Scientists
The Invalid Claims of Honda and Rutter
The Vaccination Data Honda/Rutter Omitted
Japanese Autism Numbers Rose & Fell With Vaccinations
Professor Sir Michael Rutter & The Drug Industry Connections
Introduction & Peer Review
The "science" from medical journals presented to courtsis not reliable.The medical "science" evidence-base has become institutionally and systemically corrupt sinceRonald Reagan introduced the Bayh-Dole Act in the 1980's : [" Doctors Without Borders - Why you can't trust medical journals anymore" by Shannon Brownlee, Washington Monthly].
Mainstream medical journals live off drug company advertising. Government health officials, drug company lobbyists and medical professionals tell us: it is "science" and "proof" when it is not.
Covert lobbying is endemic:-
Peer Review of Data
The data and analysis shown here has been through a process of peer review.Publication is responsible to bring it to public attention.
The peer review process included presenting this information to:-
It has also been presented to others including an expert in the assessment of adverse drug reactions who confirmed data showing such a close correspondence is remarkable in post marketing surveillance and rarely if ever seen – probably unique.
Flawed "Science" By Doctors Not Scientists
In 2005 a paper by two Japanese psychiatrists, Hideo Honda and Yasuo Shimizu, was published in an English psychiatric journal with English psychiatrist Professor Sir Michael Rutter also named as an author. The paper was claimed to be proof MMR vaccine could not cause autistic spectrum disorders: [" No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of autism: a total population study." Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (2005)].
These three psychiatrists failed to provide the full picture. They made invalid claims [See more belowThe Invalid Claims]. Those claims were based on inadequate research containing basic flaws.Psychiatrists are not usually also trained scientists and normally lack scientific qualifications.When the flaws in their paper are identified and corrected, the paper provides unusually strong evidence, not normally seen, showing vaccines as a cause of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
The Honda/Rutter paper claimed that new cases of autism in Japan fell for children born in 1991-92 (as the confidence of Japanese parents fell in the dangerous Japanese MMR vaccine withdrawn on safety grounds in 1992) but then rose sharply again and especially for children who were born in 1993-94. Here is the graph from the Honda/Rutter paper:-
[ larger graph in new window ]
The authors summarised their results (emphasis added):-
The authors wrongly claimed this meant it was unlikely MMR vaccine caused autism spectrum disorders. They made this claim without any "control" – a scientific fundamental – something to compare against MMR – a scientific benchmark or yardstick to see if there was any difference compared with something else.
As can be seen from the above Honda/Rutter graph, in 93-94 and after, the autism rate was double that in the period up to 1992 [when the MMR vaccine was withdrawn]. The authors were duty bound to consider this before going into print. Their data put them on notice that withdrawing the proven dangerous Japanese MMR vaccine was associated with a marked drop in new cases of autism. That is clear from their graphs. Autism cases fell for those born in 1991-92 as uptake of the Japanese MMR vaccine fell and was withdrawn in 1992.
The authors failed to do what any scientist would have done. They failed to ask themselves " why? ".Why did autism rapidly increase for children born in 1993-94 and thereafter?
And there was something to compare against the MMR. Honda/Rutter did not use it.
The MMR was replaced with single measles and single rubella vaccines. These were given at or about at the same time. And also at the same time the overall vaccination rate in Japan was increased by 150%.
When this happened the autism rate increased in step.
The only thing Honda/Rutter teaches us is that MMR cannot be the only cause – and not that it is not a cause of autism.
The Invalid Claims
The Honda/Rutter paper when corrected provides not only strong evidence that MMR and single measles vaccines are causes of ASD but it also implicates as causes of ASD the rubella vaccine and JE (Japanese Encephalitis) vaccine containing Thiomersal [Thimerosal in the USA]. Thiomersal is a known toxic mercury containing neurotoxin and also causes allergies.It is toxic in parts per billion.
That the practice in Japan was to give the measles and rubella vaccines at the same time was the boast of The British Department of Health. That was to bolster official claims that whistle blower medical doctor Andrew Wakefield's concerns about the MMR vaccine were wrong. The Honda/Rutter paper was announced in the usual blaze of publicity. And as usual, the truth has not been. No one can argue validly that scientifically the Honda/Rutter paper is not deeply flawed.
In Japan when MMR was introduced, single measles vaccine was still being used side-by-side with MMR. Professor Rutter and his colleagues failed to take that into account.They also failed to look to two peer refereed papers published only three years earlier in 2002 which provide some of the missing data:-
The Nakatani and Terada papers provide a more complete picture. The Terada paper sets out the annual Japanese vaccination data for the annual numbers of vaccinations for measles and MMR vaccines combined in Kurashiki City, Japan. The Nakatani paper sets out the overall national Japanese vaccination data for all regions including Yokohama. Its data includes vaccine uptake in Japan for measles, rubella and the mercury containing Japanese Encephalitis vaccine.
In addition Honda/Rutter missed another Japanese paper from 2003 – Takahashi – claiming the r isk of autism could be between 5 and 9 times greater from single measles and rubella vaccines, so Honda/Rutter have no excuses for not considering this possibility and including the single vaccines as a control or comparison group:
Jpn. J. Infect. Dis., 56, 114-117, 2003
The Takahashi paper is further direct evidence of a link between vaccines and autism – despite repeated denials by health officials, "expert" panels, medical professionals and journalists that there is no evidence of such a causal link.
Grateful thanks for generously making his library facilities available pro bono publico without condition or hesitation, and especially so for enabling the key Terada paper to be located are due to Professor Jeff Bradstreet MD, MD(H) FAAFP, Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics, Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, International Child Development Research Centre, Melbourne, FL 32934, USA. It is certain some children and their families could be saved from a lifetime of autism if the information here becomes more widely available to parents, independently minded physicians and other medical practitioners.
Japanese Autism Numbers Rose & Fell With Vaccinations
When Honda/Rutter is compared to Terada it can be seen that ASD numbers rose and fell in direct proportion to the total number of children vaccinated in any year. In other words, the number of Japanese children who developed autism was directly related to the number who received MMR, single measles, rubella and Japanese Encephalitis vaccines. Here is a combined graph showing this:-
[ larger graph in new window ]
This is a dose-response relationship – the extent of the effect of a drug is related to the amount of the drug administered. Unusually, we see a dose-response relationship on a "population level" in a large sample of the child population of Japan, and as such, this is conclusive evidence of a causal association between vaccination and Autistic Spectrum Disorders in children.
Immediately below is the data from the Terada and Honda/Rutter papers shown separately in the graphs, from the original papers as published:-
[ larger Terada graph in new window ]
[ larger Honda/Rutter graph in new window ]
These graphs compare data for children born in two different areas: Kurashiki City with Kohoku Ward, Yokohama. The correspondence is remarkable. [ Note when comparing the first graph, Japanese children were vaccinated when 15-18 months old - so the comparison of ASD rates by year of birth is with the vaccination rates approximately two years later. The first graph is 15-18 months "ahead" of the second.]
Further, the Nakatani paper indicates this similarity in the data is unlikely to be coincidence: [ Development of Vaccination Policy in Japan: Current Issues and Policy Directions, Hiroki Nakatani,Tadashi Sanoand Tsutomu Iuchi Jpn J Infect Dis 55 101-111 2002]. The Nakatani paper shows the national vaccination rates in Japan. These are closely similar in profile to that shown for Kurashiki City. It is also reasonable to expect that the national vaccination rates would be similar for Kohoku Ward (data in the Honda/Rutter paper).
It is the Nakatani paper which implicates rubella vaccine and the thiomersal/thimerosal mercury containing JE (Japanese Encephalitis) vaccines along with MMR and Japanese Encephalitis vaccine. The Nakatani paper shows that in 1995 there was a sharp rise (150%) in single measles and single rubella vaccinations. Many of the children getting those vaccines in 1995 would have been those born in 1993-4. This rise was also coupled with a doubling in Japanese Encephalitis vaccinations (200%) between 1993 and 1995.
Here is the graph from the Nakatanipaper showing the increases in single measles, rubella and JE vaccine vaccination rates by 1995 in Japan – the vertical blue line has been added to highlight the year and the legend ringed in blue to pick out the measles, rubella and JE vaccine lines of the graph:-
[ larger Nakatani graph in new window ]
And after the 150% increase in measles and rubella vaccinations and the doubling in the JE vaccine uptake, the graph shows that autism incidence doubled.
Grateful thanks to to Dr F E Yazbak of Boston Massachusetts, USA for drawing attention to the Nakatani paper and so assisting to identify this population level rechallenge proof of autism causation of the MMR and mercury containing vaccines.
This shows that not only did the authors of the Honda/Rutter paper have before them evidence of a "population level" dechallenge, they also had evidence of a "population level" rechallenge. Had they carried out their researches properly, they would also have had the evidence of the Nakatani and Terada papers to show the powerful evidence of a dose-response relationship on a population level.
How Comparable Are These Two Cities?
The graph below demonstrates how comparableKurashiki City and Yokohama are forMMR vaccination uptake. This isin addition to the national figures for Japan from the Nakatani paper which apply to both cities. The Nakatani figures show[for the second autism peak in the Honda/Rutter paper for children born in 1994] there was 150% increase in single vaccine uptake throughout Japan and a 200% increase forThiomersal containing Japanese Encephalitis vaccine. [These increases followed the change in the national Japanese vaccination law in 1994. Children born that year would have been vaccinated 15-18 months later with MMR and 12-24 months later with JE vaccine].
[Click graph for larger version in new window].
Just one well documented spontaneous report of a rechallenge is sufficient to prove a drug causes a harmful adverse drug reaction. Only three well documented cases of dechallenge are sufficient proof.
But here we see these numerous dechallenges and rechallenges combining into a continuous dose-response relationship on a population level. This is unusual and powerful proof of a causal association.
Here, we see the Honda/Rutter paper in conjunction with the Nakatani paper providing us with a large number of examples of dechallenges and rechallenges. This is not in a few individuals but in large samples of the child population of Japan. And the dechallenges and rechallenges are well documented in published peer refereed papers.
The Terada paper also shows us that in this sample Japanese population (hence the term "population level") the dechallenges and rechallenges combine to show us a population level dose-response relationship. That means we see the adverse effects increasing and decreasing in proportion to the quantity of the pharmaceutical (here vaccines) administered to the sample population. That is powerful as proof of a causal association between the vaccines and autistic spectrum disorders.You can read further about the power of dechallenge and rechallenge evidence in this peer refereed medico-legal paper by Professor Donald Miller MD, professor of surgery at the University of Washington and published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons:-
The Honda/Rutter graph shows that autism incidence was rising over the entire period from 1988 to 1996. Thus this is more evidence to confirm the world autism pandemic, and which is other evidence the Honda/Rutter authors had before them which they did not deal with.
Professor Sir Michael Rutter & The Drug Industry Connections
It is appropriate to ask:
It can help to follow the money. In the money connections, you don't get any bigger than Rutter.Psychiatrist Professor Sir Michael Rutter is a former (recent) Deputy Chairman of the immensely wealthy Wellcome Trust (founded by the Wellcome Foundation which is now Glaxo). For confirmation of his status, see the 4th page of :-
The Wellcome Trust has assets of over £14 billion:-
The Trust hands out millions every year and has far more substantial reserves to enable it to do that. And it can dictate a great deal of what research is carried out around the world. See here for details:-
So Rutter is very influential. You do not get to be in that position if you are not "in favour with pharma".He is also one of the expert witnesses for Glaxo in the MMR litigation (something he did not declare, for example, in the Honda/Rutter paper denying MMR has any association with autism, but I do not see him before the GMC over that). Professor Rutter is also one of the main prosecution witnesses in the witchhunt in the British General Medical Council against medical doctors Andrew Wakefield, Simon Murch and Professor Walker-Smith.Here is a biographical note on Professor Sir Michael Rutter from the Academy of Medical Sciences which says:-
Professor Sir Michael Rutter along with a troupe of psychiatrists now or formerly associated with The Maudsley Hospital and The Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College, London University, have been working hard at telling the public autism is solely genetic and denying there is a world autism pandemic.If a condition is genetic, you also do not suddenly get spontaneous mutation of large numbers of individuals. That suggestion is counter logical and non science. Genetics cannot account for the large rise we are seeing in autism since the mid 1980s. So instead what we see are efforts by Rutter and the King's Institute of Psychiatry other autism denialists to claim there is no real rise in the prevalence of autism. This claim is unscientific and runs counter to the facts documented in the formal literature.
The Institute of Psychiatry has been an embarrassing place to be because of this April 2008 news item:-
The Institute of Psychiatry has or is home to more than its fair share of doctors (psychiatrists mostly) who publish papers claiming autism is genetic and denying there is an autism epidemic (the correct word is pandemic – epidemics have far fewer victims). These doctors include Rutter, Eric Fombonne (now expert witness in the US in the thiomersal/autism litigation when he had previously published nothing about it) and Professor Simon Baron Cohen.
It is also home to controversial "Gulf War Syndrome" psychiatrist Simon Wessley, director of the Centre for Military Health Research at King's College London and who had been claiming ME/CFS is not a physical condition but a mental one contrary to the definition used around the world. Sophia Wilson is an example of an ME/CFS sufferer who died following this approach to diagnosis, albeit there is no evidence available to this author she was ever a patient of any of the psychiatrists or institutions name here.
Also associated with The Institute of Psychiatry and the Maudsley is Dr Ben Goldacre, who constantly attacks alternative medicine in The Guardian [a UK national newspaper] whilst writing the "Badscience" column – yet Goldacre has no scientific qualifications and avoids disclosing that he practises psychiatry. Psychiatry is the least successful branch of medicine in history and is notorious for a lack of scientific bases to support the theories some of its proponents put out.Goldacre works with Wessley.
Goldacre and Wessley have close professional and personal connections to King's Mobile Phones Research Unit. Goldacre has made public attacks, backed by the industry funded lobby group, The Science Media Centre, on a BBC Panorama documentary about mobile phone hazards, which hazards were raised by the current head of the UK's Health Protection Agency, before taking up that post. Ben Goldacre and The Science Media Centre attacked the programme and its journalists.
Professor Rutter is also a friend of the editor of the journal which printed the Honda/Rutter MMR paper. Here is his endorsement of the Journal:-
Editor Charman is a contributor to Rutter's book:-
Rutter was also an expert witness in Malmo, Sweden in an MMR autism case where the key question was whether autism was solely genetic and not environmental. Rutter's expert evidence was that it was genetic [not possible - Autism Not Genetic – Says Expert Professor Simon Baron Cohen ].
And this could go on and on and on ………………….
When confronted with the above evidence on Rutter's Japanese autism paper Charman refused to have the Honda/Rutter paper retracted or to publish a correction or rebuttal. The publishing group Blackwell which published the Honda/Rutter paper have provided no comment.

Need Help ID Possible Curly Leaf Virus/Other
I started this Burbank Slicing about a month ago in a neutral potting soil mulched with redwood and it started great, but about a week ago one of the side stems starting sagging and its leaves curled upward. About three days later most of the plant was doing the same, with the main stem curling over.
The current PH is slightly acid (at about 6), and I've given it an organic 5-7-3 fert twice in the span of a month. I've also sprayed it with a 3-in-1 Neem oil spray twice.
I may have overwatered for about a week preceding this, but not by much, and a drying out period hasn't helped it.
Any advice? Is it the dreaded CLV? From Jul 17, 2011
From Jul 17, 2011
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm curious why you doubt it's a virus. I'm not eager for my plant to have one, mind you, and it would be great if it were true, but what lead you to that doubt? Note that the leaves are curled upward here, and the entire plant is leggy/tangly.
The temps have been uncharacteristically low, and relatively windy for mid-summer preceding and during this condition (around 75 with significant winds for the past two weeks). In fact, the plant was thriving the most during the 90 degree days and I've been hoping for a return to see if that would help.
The pot is fairly big. It was recommended by the nursery for tomato plants, probably 15-20 gallons.
Hey, I appreciate the insight. It turns out however, this is a case of Curly Top Virus. a wide consensus between local growers was reached based on these pictures and others, and my own intuition leading me to the http://www.cdfa.ca.gov website since the problem never resolved. Our property and those nearby have had a high concentration of Beet Leafhoppers for years.
Apparently, this isn't only common in the area, but without row cover it's a near inevitability. Now I know.
The hardest part is its inability to ever recover. The good news is, as everyone knows, tomato plants grow quickly, so I should be back up and running with some Brandywines quickly.
@behlgarden, If we left the new plants unattended they would for sure succumb to this awful disease. We've made a 6' x 12' box cage out of pvc pipe and tied row cover to all sides of it to accommodate our new plants.
Technically it's a 'summer insect barrier' type of row cover allowing air, mositure and 90% light in, but no bugs, or birds.

The Importance of Fasting
As you know, the three pillars of Lent are prayer, fast-ing, and almsgiving. What are some reasons for fasting?
1. It is a way of imitating Christ, who fasted for 40 days and nights in the desert prior to beginning His public life. If Jesus thought fasting important, so should we.
2. It is a way of making personal reparation for our sins. We are obliged to repair for the sins we have committed so that our stay in Purgatory will be shortened.
3. It is a way of making reparation for family members who have left the Church and who are either indifferent to God or maybe even hostile to Him. Our Lady warned at Fatima that many souls go to Hell because there is no one to pray for them. Perhaps our acts of penance and fasting could save some of these souls.
4. It is a way of making social reparation for the moral evils in our country and the world, such as the scourge of abortion, the plague of pornography, the horrors of war, the trafficking of children, and the persecution and murder of fellow Catholics in the Middle East and Africa.
5. It is a way of casting out the power of the Devil. Recall the time in the Gospels when the disciples were unable to exorcise a demon from a young boy, and Jesus told them that some demons can only be cast out by prayer and fasting.
St. John Vianney, the parish priest of Ars in France, fasted totally from food some days and slept only three hours a night. His prayer to God was: "Lord, send me suffering, but save the souls of my parishioners.:
We may not be able to fast as St. John did, but we can certainly do more to save our soul and the souls of others.
Adult Confirmation Classes
Save the dates if you or some adult you know never received First Communion or Confirmation. The classes will be held on eight Wednesday evenings, from 7:00 to 8:30 in the Rectory Meeting Room, from February 25th until Confirmation on April 17th. This sacrament is important not only to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but also if you would like to be a godparent for Baptism or a sponsor for Confirmation. Anyone seeking to fill those roles must have received Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation. Here is the schedule for the classes:
February 25 — The Bible in Our Life
March 4 — What Catholics Believe
March 11 — Jesus: True God and True Man
March 18 — Sin and Reconciliation
March 25 — The Holy Eucharist and the Mass
April 1 — Confirmation and the Holy Spirit
April 8 — Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell
April 15 — Prayer and Individual Confession
April 16 — Confirmation Rehearsal
April 17 — Confirmation Mass (Fr. Brian Kiely)
Offering of the Sick for Vocation
Dear Lord, here is a new day You have given me in which to love You and to help others love You. Above all things, help me to love and accept your holy will. In giving me this cross of my illness, Lord Jesus, it was your desire to bring me nearer to your Divine Heart. I want to bring others also to know You better, to love You more, and for this I know that good and holy priests are necessary, so I will offer my cross, united with yours, for vocations to the holy priesthood. Amen.
The Truth About the Crusades
With the President saying that the current atrocities committed against Christians by Islamic terrorists are no different from the Crusades, when "people committed terri-ble deeds in the name of Christ," there is a need to correct this falsehood. Here are some facts about the Crusades:
33 Days to Morning Glory
We are going to conduct a very special program to consecrate ourselves to Jesus through Mary. Called "33 Days to Morning Glory," this retreat will begin on February 20th and conclude on March 25th, the feast of the Annunciation. You can take part in this retreat at home by doing a reading and saying a brief prayer each day. The readings and prayers are contained in a booklet that will be available at the doors of the Church on the weekend of February 14th and 15th. Before taking this booklet home with you, you will be asked to register for the retreat by signing the inside back cover of the booklet. We will return the page to you at a concluding Mass on March 25th. Each week of the retreat will focus on a Marian saint — St. Louis de Montfort, Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa, and Blessed John Paul II. The goal of the retreat is not just to read about these holy people, but to ponder their message in our hearts. Consecrating ourselves to Mary means giving Mary our full permission to form us into the saints that God wants us to be. The answer to the evil in the world today is holiness, and "33 Days to Morning Glory" will make us holier.

material for table in kitchen booth
I recently bought a 1920s era house with a very small booth eating area in the kitchen. They had a laminate covered mystery material table in the booth, so it had to go. Now I'm trying to decide what wood material to make the new table and where to start. Would a cabinet maker be able to make a custom table for me? It would be affixed to the wall and have a single leg support. Would you go with oak? It has to be very durable and low maintenance. I don't like the idea of having to seal and re-seal butcher block. Thanks from a real newbie. :)
A custom cab maker might be able to make a table. It depends. You'll have to ask.
I have a DR table made of QS oak. It started as an antique piece, but the top couldn't be saved when they went to refinish it, plus I needed a few leaves that would have to be made new anyway. A new top was made to go on the antique legs. I didn't think to ask how the top would be finished. Turns out they coated it with some kind of poly. It's more durable than my other small antique dining table. Maybe something like that could be an option.

How do you clean ashes from burning wood in a fireplace?
I used my fireplace today because it is really cold here in the DFW area. I am wondering after the log burns, how do you clean up the ashes in the fireplace that fell to the bottom? I don't think I want to use my vacuum for this. I'm surprised there hasn't been an invention yet for some kind of liner to put under the log to catch the ashes then you dispose of. Kind of like an oven liner for splatter...
Just scoop up with a dust pan. Typical fireplace tool sets include a shovel-type tool and a broom. I don't think that anyone who uses a fireplace more than once a year cleans it out every time they have a fire.
Small dust pan and fireplace broom or a brush work best. DO NOT use a vacuum. I made the mistake of trying our shopvac once as the broom didn't get it as clean as I wanted. Ashes went right through the filter system and flew all over the room. Quite the mess.
There are vacuums you can buy for ashes. Be careful using a dustpan.
I almost set my house on fire years ago after cleaning up what I thought were cold ashes the morning after we had a fire in the fireplace. I used a dustpan to transfer the ashes to a paper grocery bag. I placed the bag in the garage next to the lawn mower. It turns out there were embers in the bag, and the heat slightly melted the lawn mower tire. Luckily I smelled the burning rubber.
I don't like the smell left behind by a fireplace, so I'm the type that would not want to leave the ashes there after the occasional fire.
Here is a link that might be useful: vacuum for ashes
When we had a wood burning fireplace (mine is now gas), I used the above mentioned dustpan and brush on cold ashes. I did not clean it every time it was used, I had glass doors to close and didn't notice a stale smokey odor ever.
Do not use your vacuum cleaner. DH was going to surprise me by cleaning the fireplace while I was at work one day and vacuumed out the hearth. The weight of the ashes burst the vacuum bag and put a layer of burned wood dust on everything.
If you must, use a shop vac with a disposable filter bag in any corners or depressions only after you've removed as much manually as possible, like at about 98% clean. I made it a seasonal chore, not something done weekly, certainly not after each use.

2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
When I bought my 2011 Civic, I'd test driven the 2012 and loved the way it drove but hated how cheap, plain and conservative the car had become, focusing on fuel economy above all else. So I bought the 2011 even though I found the transmission to be really unforgiving, because it was a much better made and more attractive car. The 2013 I just bought is a perfect compromise. Great transmission, sufficient power, excellent fuel economy, superb interior and exterior styling and quality. I don't like the seat fabric much, but the nylon mesh and faux suede seats in my 2011 were uncommonly high-end for this class of car. The 2013 Civic is a sincere apology for the poorly-executed 2012.

2013 Honda Civic Coupe LX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
I have never received good fuel economy with this car. It has never given me what was advertised as 28 in the city and 39 on highway.
It has never gone past 23 miles to the gallon.
I am very disappointed in this cars fuel economy.
I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the car and it is now only
1 month old.

Just bought a 2013 Civic coupe with automatic transmission for my wife last week. On a lark, I wanted to see how much mileage I could squeeze out of this car using the lightest foot possible. I needed to drive to the airport - a nearly 50 mile round trip. On the trip there, I drove with no AC at speeds between 60 and 70. The on board mileage computer registered 53 mpg! There is a minor downhill bias since I live a few hundred feet above sea level and the airport is near sea level.
On the trip back, I decided to use the AC. When I arrived home, the MPG computer for the total trip read 43 MPG. That's close to a hybrid's MPG! I am delighted with this car!

2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX-L PZEV 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
This is our third Civic LX in a row, which kind of says it right there.
I only bought this one because I promised our '07 to my college-age son. Not as zippy as the '07 with Econ button pressed, but I did get 41.7 mpg on the first road trip. Ride is also quieter and smoother than before.
And one annoyance fixed: The driver's side floor mat has EZ-twist buttons for removal instead of those frustrating hooks!
I've rented just about every other small car, including a Corolla in '10, but the Civic remains the gold standard of its class.

2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
I just leased a 2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX, and so far I'm loving it! Now, to be fair, I upgraded from a 2000 Ford Focus LX with manual everything, so being enthusiastic about a new car wasn't a very tall order. I probably would have been just as happy with a new Yugo if there still was such a thing. But overall, I love the body style and interior design of the Coupe EX. The dash is laid out very well and all the controls are within easy reach. The ONLY potential downside I see is the quality of the cloth seats...I'm just not sure how long that fabric is going to keep looking good. Handles very well, and is a nice smooth, quiet ride. Pretty good stereo system too with the 7 speakers.

Bought the manual because I did not like how bad shifting felt in automatic.
mileage is insanely good - averaging about 37 combined with 75% highway and 25% around town (I drive pretty conservatively, highway is cruise control with econ button on).
Safety - was rear ended, not injured, car held up fine.
Fairly quiet and comfortable - good space for a smaller car.
It was relatively cheap and it feels cheap.
I had a VW golf before this and it felt like a tank in comparison (mileage sucked).
The paint already has a chip after one month.
And there is a sloshing sound that comes from the gas tank that is really noticeable if you have the radio off.

I've had this car for 12 days, & I've got 1,500 miles on it. I love it so much so far, but I can't really speak truthfully about its reliability b/c I haven't had any problems w/ it since I haven't had it for very long at all.
I drive about 75% highway & 25% city, & I have an average of 36.75 MPG.

This sedan has enough hi-tech features to wow.
Interior is comfortable but feels confined (I replaced a 2008 Camry hybrid) but reasonably comfortable for medium distance trips. I only have the car for two weeks and filled the tanks twice. In town I was averaging 23-24 mpg. I took a 10-hour round trip mostly at 55-60 mph
I was getting close to 39-40 mpg.
On acceleration the car has a tendency to be jerky if the gas pedal is released. After driving the round trip for close to 9 hrs my back started to get stiff.
A lower back support may be the next item I should try.
The trunk is small but acceptable; it could accommodate 2 sets of golf clubs with room for overnight luggage.

'10 Jetta lease was up.
I dislike the styling of the new Jettas so I went in for a '13 Accord Sport and left with a '13 Civic LX. Both great cars but I enjoyed the handling and overall feel of the Civic a bit more. I now prefer the Civic dashboard over a typical one (surprisingly). I also own a '12 Subaru Impreza which seems a lot zippier to 40mph but it's also not nearly as quite (loud CVT and road noise) which for a daily commute of 120 miles is very important.
My daily commute broken down is 40 miles city and 80 miles highway. I average 37mpg not using ECO but I use cruise control often. Over 400 miles per tank. I get compliments from my co-workers for what it is...a nice compact car.

OUTDOORS; A Spring Sortie for Stripers on Martha's Vineyard
By Nelson Bryant
Published: May 17, 2004
AQUINNAH , Mass.— A warm day in the first week of May prompted my younger son, Jeff, and me to make a shore fishing foray for striped bass, our first this year, at Dogfish Bar on Martha's Vineyard.
We knew that stripers, many of them big enough to keep, were being caught at Tisbury Great Pond's opening to the ocean on the Vineyard's South Shore. Getting to that opening would have involved more time than we had, so we opted for Dogfish Bar, which is less than a half-hour's drive from my home in West Tisbury.
Large bass do not regularly visit Dogfish Bar, the northerly end of Lobsterville Beach, until late May or early June, but the winter had been long and cold and Jeff and I wanted to sniff salt air and cast for fish. I had also gotten a touch of fishing fever while tying flies last month.
Among those flies was something called the Schminnow. Originally designed for snook by the Florida outdoor writer Norm Zeigler, it has taken many other species in both fresh and salt water.
I wanted to try it on stripers. It is a simple fly to create: a white marabou tail, a pearl-white crystal chenille body and black bead eyes.
I tied up a few basic all-white Schminnows on No. 4 stainless steel long-shanked hooks, a size that some anglers consider small for striped bass, but one that I favor. Then, emboldened, I fashioned some using blue, red or green chenille. Clearly, the anticipation engendered while preparing for a fishing or hunting trip contributes to the pleasure of the enterprise.
Jeff and I arrived at the Dogfish Bar parking lot at 7:30 p.m., which meant that about an hour of light remained in which we could study the water, looking for diving birds and surface-breaking stripers or baitfish. We lost some of that time when we discovered that the heavy brass padlock on the gate to the lot, which is behind the dunes, had corroded into immobility.
This was embarrassing because I am the president of the association that owns the lot and should have checked the lock much earlier in the spring. We got it working with a can of WD-40, vise-grip pliers, a file, a hammer and emery paper.
Looking out over Vineyard Sound, we saw no birds or fish. The beach was also empty of anglers. This always engenders conflicting emotions in me. If no one is flailing the water along miles of beach, it can mean that there are no fish to catch. On the other hand, it is pleasing to be alone.
Jeff opted to use a spinning rod rigged with a jointed subsurface swimming plug and a teaser fly, a sand eel imitation, mounted ahead of it on the leader. I chose to fly fish with a Schminnow that had a green body.
After we had been casting for about half an hour, I heard Jeff shout.
About 50 yards away, he pointed to the water in front of him and indicated that he had hooked and lost a fish. Three casts later, a fish struck my fly, and when I tightened the line, I was surprised at its size. It was so small that it did not take out the slack line in my stripping basket. Beached, it proved to be the most diminutive striper I had ever caught off the Vineyard, about 13 inches long.
My hopes for a bass supper on the morrow dwindling -- in Massachusetts, the legal limit is two fish 28 or more inches long -- I resumed casting and caught four more bass, all less than 20 inches long, in about 15 minutes.
In that same period, Jeff caught five or six bass, including two at once: one on the plug, the other on the teaser fly. All these fish had to released, of course.
Agreeing that there was no point in further harassing those juvenile fish, we called it quits and walked back to my truck.
Along the way, Jeff said: ''This was the earliest we've been up here together. We had an idea this might happen. At least we caught fish. You know, Pop, there's something surreal about this. It really is too early. It's not right. It doesn't look right or smell right, the beach plums, beach peas and beach roses aren't blooming, the insects aren't humming. It's strange, we think we are sophisticated, but here I am reacting primitively to my surroundings.''
I was experiencing similar sensations.
Four evenings later, I decided to try again. Jeff had promises to keep, so I went alone, arriving at Dogfish at 7.
One other angler, a fly fisherman, was ahead of me: Bob Iwaskiewicz, of East Fairlee, Vt., who belongs to the association and has a summer home in Aquinnah. We chatted -- he had seen nothing and had not raised a fish -- and separated, he going west, I east. I had tied on a green Schminnow and saw no reason to change it. At dusk, when we were about 30 yards apart, Bob shouted that he had seen fish boil in front of him. I cast and caught a 14-inch bass.
Bob and I conferred. He had had no hits the entire time.
I gave him a green Schminnow, hoping that it would change his luck, and wended my way through the dunes along the path with no blooms.

Great benefits, and salary, and some of the positions are interesting,and campus is beautiful.Cons
Most of the places are full of arrogant and unfriendly people, especially the School of Medicine. I don't know what the environment is like in other places on campus, but almost everywhere I go, and every department that I have worked, is full of unhappy, unfriendly and arrogant people. They don't smile or say hi to you when walking down the hall, and many of the management, and faculty, play political games and treat their employee's with disrespect. I'm greatful for my many years of employment here, and as I said you can barely beat the benefits, and salary, however I would rather earn a little less for a friendlier, respectful environment.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be nicer, smile, and be real, and not ivy league stuck-up arrogant, entitled and rude. sheesh!Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I've been spending the past week soloing a lot of Warbringers. Mages are well-equipped to take them on. Slows, stuns, and cast time speed increases all work on these rare spawns. They have a hefty amount of HP though, and it might take you 5-6 minutes to burn through. It sucks though if someone tries to grief you though through evade taunt bugging or if there's heavy camping on your high pop. There's 3 different colors of Direhorns to collect, and they'll drop a few rep insignias and bags of Zandalari supplies.
Anyhow, feel free to leave any questions or comments regarding your own Warbringer soloing here.
Just killed my first warbringer today, not a lot to say about it, make sure your frostbolt slow never falls off, even when you have to kite some of the combined mechanics. Try to obliterate scarabs before they touch you, don't let the warbringer ever get in melee range.
Frostjaw/Nova/pet freeze/deep freeze will all be your friend.
I think I only ever got hit once and it dropped me to ~60%, scarabs mobbed me at one point for 10-20% through IB. Not a perfect kill but I went in blind and had never even watched their abilities before.

100 Troll Mage
Which spec are you using for this? I can get a reasonable kiting rotation going, but he always seems to have windows of time where he catches up and does more damage than I can heal through.
Yeah I've got two of the mounts and tons of money and mats thanks to being on a dead server.
Love being realid friends with people on low-pop servers.
I've done it on my rogue with shuriken toss/deadly throw and a bit of kiting with burst of speed. My mage is almost 90, and I'll prolly farm these suckers to cap rep with the different factions. As far as killing the warbringer goes, is frost the only viable spec for kiting the warbringer, or is it possible with fire? I prefer frost anyway, but how is our mobile damage with this spec? I assume NT is the only way to go.
Without having it constantly slowed it seems pretty crappy. I guess Arcane would be fine right? Frost seems like the fastest way to get it done though.
100 Blood Elf Mage
Without having it constantly slowed it seems pretty crappy. I guess Arcane would be fine right? Frost seems like the fastest way to get it done though.
You would probably do it as fire using FFB, right?
90 Dwarf Mage
You can rock their worlds as fire. I glyph Frostfire Bolt and cast it every time it goes to do a special ability. Incanter's Ward speeds things up with the scarabs as well.
If you want to be safe, grab Blazing Speed. Blink is more than enough though
I've done it as both Frost and Arcane personally on my main Mage and alt Mage. Arcanes on par with Frost because the 50% cast speed increase makes his casts take forever, and if he's casting he's not moving.
Recommended talents:
Ice Barrier (lets you take a melee swing every so often if you run out of kiting room or make a mistake)
Blazing Speed
Frost Bomb (it's like he's not moving at all with a 70% slow)
Frostjaw probably works too.
Edited by Digerati on 3/18/2013 3:33 PM PDT
The FFB slow falls off very quickly. It would probably be frustrating as hell.
Yeah I solo them as Frost. I usually end up with people standing around watching me do it. haven't tried it with Frost Bomb yet. I Just Nether Tempest them while they are frozen for nice chunks of damage. I have no problem without the extra slow. I also really like Super Blink (Blazing Speed + Blink) for times when I find myself, sometimes intentionally, in close with the Warbringer.
For added challenge, try soloing a Warbringer and a Scout at the same time! I had a Scout spawn on top of me while kiting the Warbringer and it was pretty crazy.
Edited by Methusulä on 3/18/2013 4:25 PM PDT
Hahaha better delete this topic because the new warbringers spawning on Ysondre are now immune to slows and roots.
It seems to be an unintentional side effect of making them taunt immune. I tweeted Blizzard about making them taunt immune, which they did, but it seems we can't slow them either ><
100 Orc Shaman
ughhhh i keep wanting to try and solo these guys for the mount but man, wpvp servers.... you cant go near the spawn location without being hit by at least 10 opposite faction..
It seems to be an unintentional side effect of making them taunt immune. I tweeted Blizzard about making them taunt immune, which they did, but it seems we can't slow them either ><
The !@#$? I finally solo something cool and they then make it impossible? Are you %^-*ting me? As if it isn't hard enough to get a kill on a pvp server. God damnit, I don't even know why I bother anymore.
I blame digerati for this.
Edited by Harlach on 3/18/2013 7:37 PM PDT
Seems they're looking into it if it was intended or not. Hopefully we can continue soloing them.
Edited by Digerati on 3/18/2013 8:45 PM PDT
They can still be soloed as a mage. I did 2 of them yesterday. Just have to save ice barrier for when he gets too close, and stagger blazing speed and blink. I still use frost as I mostly just NT the mob and spend my FFB procs as they come, plus the ele can cast on the move. Also, save frozen orb for the scarabs, as they are pretty much free icelances.
If you lose your Ice Barrier, spend Mirror images. If you are out of that, then IB until blink or blazing are off cooldown. If you are really having trouble, spec cold snap for an extra ice block.
If you exhaust all of these options, you need to go back to Vanilla and learn some kiting skills. I kid. But no really, you need some kiting skills.
The Townlong, dread wastes are fairly easy to kite with the terrain. I had several close calls on the one in Krasarang with the island he is on being so small.

Garden Phlox - what does it look like in the winter/spring?
I've done a bit of research on the garden phlox "bright eyes" & I'm pretty sure I know where I want to plant it, but can anyone describe what it looks like when it's not flowering? Can I cut it to the ground when it starts to frost? I'm trying to plan out what my garden will look like in the fall/winter/early spring.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
I have bright eyes and it's lovely in flower. Otherwise, dh usually asks "Is that a weed?" At least he knows now to ask.
I always say, "No. There are no weeds in my flower beds".
I don't why he thinks I have patches of weeds!!
The lawn is another matter.
If you've ever seen garden phlox before they start to bloom, that's pretty much what they look like after the bloom is finished - especially if you deadhead the spent blooms. A green upright plant in the spring and summer, a brown upright stick in the winter (at least here in colder climates). They can get a little tired looking late in the season. And if it's real hot and muggy, or if planted too close together so the air flow is restricted, or you start getting evening and night time rains, powdery mildew can set in and they'll look dreadful.
At the end of the season they can be cut down to the ground, and I'd recommend removing all the cut foliage and dropped leaves and disposing of them any place except in your compost pile. If powdery mildew exists, it can winter over on fallen debris and splash back up to affect plants the next season.
Thanks for the quick responses! I wanted to make sure I could cut them back before the winter because they'll be right in front of our house. I didn't want a stick decorating our front porch all winter. Do I need to wait till all the leaves drop to cut it down?
Thanks again!
No, the leaves don't normally drop much by themselves. They'll yellow a little and get droopy; and whatever is considered the "end of the season" in GA is when to cut them down. Once established, phlox are tough plants - cutting them down a little early or a little late doesn't seem to phase them, in my experience anyway.
Phlox are not a low maintainence, long blooming, or easy to grow perennial, at least not in the south. I struggled with them for years (Bright Eyes included). Yes, their blooms are beautiful, but they are short lived, and subsequent blooms are nothing to brag about. And, as duluthinbloom said, they look weedy when not blooming. I finally realized it wasn't something I was doing or not doing. They're just not a plant well suited to our area.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Who knows what the musical will bring?
Local school to put on its first bilingual musical in 20 years
There's more than an element of the unknown about Collège Jeanne-Sauvé's latest musical production.
Members of the St. Vital-based French Immersion school will perform Qui Sait?...Who Knows? — its first bilingual musical production for 20 years — from Feb. 7 to 9 at Centre culturel franco-manitobain at 340 Provencher Blvd.
The story, written by teacher Philippe Habeck, who is also the play's director, centres around a parent-teacher night that occurs during a freak snowstorm, which keeps the characters captive and forces them deal with various misunderstandings and cultural conflicts.
"The play looks at both the English and francophone perspectives and these two solitudes. The problem here in Canada is that the two sides don't always want to talk. So we're using the backdrop of an evening at school where all proverbial hell breaks loose," Habeck said, noting there will be musical numbers in the style of the hit TV show Glee.
"Some of the characters only speak one language, but we're looking at the theme of duality. There doesn't have to be two solitudes. The show is fun and family-appropriate and talks about what it means to be here in Canada," Habeck said.
The show's eclectic cast of characters includes some jocks looking for love, artists looking for understanding, parents who can't stand each other and teachers who just want to help, Habeck said.
He hopes the show — which includes 19 cast members, six band members, three backup singers and a large student team from different grades working behind the scenes — will be enjoyed by the school's community, including former students.
"As teachers, I think we do our productions for the community," Habeck said, noting the school's last musical show was Anne of Green Gables 20 years ago. "We're hoping both parents and former students will come to see the show, as they will understand the French and English issues."
Habeck, who lives in St. Boniface, said the idea for the show came about when he was approached by members of the school's physical education department. He also credits the commitment of the students to the project, considering their busy schedules.
"It can be very difficult to get these kids all together, as they have exams, jobs and play on sports teams, but they're incredible students," he said.
Student Stefan Padeanu, 18, who has a lead role in the show, has found it a rewarding experience, especially considering its historical context.
"My character is generally down-to-earth and a nice guy. He's really just looking to have a happy life," said Padeanu, who lives in south St. Vital. "I know the history between the French and the English in Canada and now we're one country. Hopefully one day we'll resolve this."
"It's been really amazing how people can come together in a short space of time and work together. I think the show reflects that."
The school matinees will be on Feb. 7 and 8 at 9:45 a.m. and a Saturday matinee will run in Feb. 9 at 1 p.m. There will also be three nightly shows at 7:30 p.m. Admission prices vary.
