Geek in the Pink.Chapter Three8 MONTHS LATERMore Like This
My time with Mello had taught me a lot.
Like that I need to keep him and Near away from each other.
And I also learned that Mello likes chocolate.
A lot.
He also never whined. He bitched. Or take it until he passed out or whatever.
For example, in the first few days of the month it had started to snow bad.
As in, blizzard bad.
And he had insisted on buying this special limited time chocolate that he apparently didn't know was on the market until the last day.
So we sneaked out at around eight. Of course he would choose a freezing cold time.
We had been walking for at least an hour. I didn't have the best sense of direction.
I assumed we were close, because I could see lights ahead. I knew it was cold but Mello would have said something about me being a baby so I kept quiet. Mello, on the other hand hadn't said anything. He was usually bitching by then.
I heard a small thud and looked over my shoulder. And there was Mello, unconscious, in the three foot snow.

Chapter 1- The Beginning Of The End
It was another strange day at the Skool. Gaz was leaning on a tree playing her Gameslave 2. Dib was pacing back and forth thinking about plans to expose Zim to the world. And, as usual, Zim was thinking about plans (redundant sorry) to destroy the entire human race and rule the Earth as an Almighty Tallest.
Then, the bell rang and it was time for klass (joke). Ms. Bitters was teaching the students about the human genitalia, which sickened Zim. After class, a nauseated Zim walked home (duh).
"That class was disgusting" Zim thought out loud. "I just hate humans and their 'weenies'".
"Hey, Zim" Gaz said as she walked by. Suddenly, something came to Zim's mind: He had a new target.
He went to his base and Gir greeted him by jumping on his head and pulling his antennae.
"Gir! Stop this instant!" Zim commanded. Gir got off of Zim's head and saluted.

Chapter 8:
Nine year old Timmy sat in the limo, looking out the window. He watched as countless of people and buildings passed by. Some of the people seemed to stare at the limo as it drove on. Whispers were heard of the Turner household. They had all seen the Turners symbol on the doors, a black crow with a snake in its mouth. Timmy's father had taught him long ago what the symbol meant.
"As we are like the crow that picks the flesh off decaying corpses, we will show no mercy to our enemies."
Timmy, deep in thought, had always hated the symbol and what it stood for. He knew his father's business was dangerous, violent and just plain cruel. He hated to think so, but his father truly was exactly like the crow. He was a complete monster who killed his enemies without blinking an eye. His father told him every single day that he would grow up to be like him, but truth was he didn't want to be. He wanted to be like his mother. His mother was the leader of another

BastiMore Like This
Basti is a kind little guy.
With a chocolate coat,
And sweet little amber eyes.
He gives his owners reasons to gloat.
He'll stand his ground for a friend,
He'll show you love unconditionally ,
He'll keep you in his heart until the end,
A hound's loyalty is a sight to see.
In truth I think most envy their furry little companion,
They live in the moment with enigmatic glee
The simplest things give them the greatest joy
And Basti gives to any situation, all his passion.
To know Basti is a privilege for me
I wish him love, bones and all the toys.
He doesn't want money,
He doesn't want the world,
He doesn't need anything to be proud of,
He just wants to chase a bunny
He just wants the ball to be hurled
All he wants is affection and love.

A master of imagery and vision.
A woman of kind and clever disposition.
To my entire life you captured the image.
And then you did as you always do.
You turn the mundane and unimpressive and give it a glorious visage.
For all of this I can never thank you.
It has been a year since I heard your voice.
It has been too long since I saw your face.
But I care not for you have taken my life and up you hoist.
But I care not for your smile still lingers in my mind's space.
In years gone by we helped eachother.
We comforted ourselves in times of trouble.
Now my old duties and so much more are preformed by another.
One who treats and cares for your life like a weak bubble.
And in this I am content.
The things you taught me of my life I now fully comprehend.
That my life is not rigid it is my fate to bend.
I will not be alone forever.
If not for you there would be things I would know, never.
And in this all I can say is "Thank you."

There had never been much freedom, but now with her mother dead it was the last of the spring days. The turning of new leaves. She was still young, still had her entire life before her.

Years passed like heavy autumn leaves, twisting and soaring on the breeze but always, eventually, fading to nothing.

Nyla Atsel crept her way through the maze of hallways which wove through the enemy complex. She knew she had to join the rest of the Rebel Fighters soon or she would certainly be spotted. The rest of her four-man strike team had been killed and the Basilisk Guards were searching for her. If they found her and did not kill her on sight, she would most definitely be tortured for information. She could not let that happen. She would not betray her fellow soldiers.
The mission to steal the Union's blueprints for their new spaceship had failed. The intelligence the Rebels had received was false; the new plans were not even in this complex.

The FlameBeing a creative usually starts with perception and sensitivity. Artists and writers translate the world around them into a transferable language that takes their viewer / reader into that place, that experience, and gives them for one brief moment a sight through the creative's eyes. Not everyone is capable of abstract thought, to see beyond themselves, but creatives transport others, opening doors and minds in the process. Not limited to what they see, creatives reveal that there is more, and therefore strip away the self imposed limits of the person intaking the work of the creatives' hearts and minds. Media is important for this reason.More Like This

Publishing is hard. You're meant to struggle so don't feel disheartened because you haven't been 'discovered' yet. It's just a timing thing. It's meant to be very hard and you have to have a heart of stone to not let rejection tear out your insides.
The beauty of publishing is that even once you get your yes that's when the hard work begins. You are competing against a lot of louder and more popular voices out there, trying to jump up and down and wave your arms to get some attention, even just a little to turn your way. I am far
originality is overrated(...and that ain't even an original title )More Like This
With that said - I don't mean to state that originality in itself doesn't matter, because it does. It's just that I kinda get an impression that many people are obsessed with being original or unique, while hardly ever thinking about what those words can mean (and not just in a dictionary sense).
It's not a new or isolated tendency, of course, but since originality is definitely important in art/personal expression and since it IS an art community...
Anyway - the way I see things, I think there's actually too much emphasis put on "being original", while there's a widespread dismissal of the importance of learning what can make things original, which includes - of course, what else - studying the basics.
It's like this trend which probably everyone here has observed or experienced at some point: many people want to learn draw well, but they think they can master certain style (or a certain graphics program or some superficial guidelines

She was like my Other Heart,
This Child of Mine.
Wings always beating
Against some cage unseen;
Unseen but felt,
Striving foragainst some unknown,
Never satisfied.
Laughter, tears, adventures, tales,
Jabbering in my ear.
Floppy hats, giggles
Snuggled in my lap,
Arms around my neck.
Many years into the teens,
My Snuggle Child was mine,
Dropping down into my lap,
To talk tell tales
Of who did what.
Growing was not easy,
For this wildly yearning heart.
I cannot speak of the passage
Through the gates.
It was not an easy one,
Fraught with danger, tears and pain.
I could not find the cure
To ease her burning heart,
Or cool her fevered brow.
The passage now
Almost complete,
The chasm nearly crossed.
Her life's fork soon will be
Before her eager step.
Ready and strong?
I know not.
I Hope,
With feet firmly set.
Tumultuous soul and willful mind,
My Second Heart;
Go - Free.

But now we're fighting in a civil war,

and hold ourselves together, not apart,
to keep our country strong, 'cause that's the best.
We're meeting on a field where soldiers died

The good guys are the ones who took our side;
the bad guys are the other ones I s'pose.
And though the world is likely to forget,

One person creates a piece of art, or writing, or music, or poetry (any creative arena, really) and while most people think "wow that's so original!" invariably somebody, somewhere is going "hey, that was MY idea!" or "Hey, I've heard that riff before in this song over here." or "Hey!

Congress taking a pass on authorizing ISIS mission
If anyone wanted further evidence that Congress is stalled in its effort to pass a separate resolution authorizing military force against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, a House hearing Wednesday provided plenty of signs.The House Armed Services Committee advertised its testimony with Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey as a discussion of the so-called Authorization for the Use of Military Force, but the issue hardly came up.

Obama talks up 'transformative' idea: mandatory voting
President Barack Obama on Wednesday suggested that if American voters want to "counteract" the role of money in politics, it may be worth making voting mandatory."It would be transformative if everybody voted," Obama said during a town hall event in Cleveland, Ohio. "That would counteract (campaign) money more than anything. If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country."
Jobless claims level off in mid-March
The number of people who applied for U.S. unemployment benefits in mid-March remained below the key 300,000 threshold that signals a much improved labor market. Initial jobless claims edged up by a scant 1,000 to 291,000 in the seven days from March 8 to March 14. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected claims to total a seasonally adjusted 290,000.The average of new claims over the past month, meanwhile, rose by 2,250 to a still-low 304,750, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average smooths out sharp fluctuations in the more volatile weekly report and is seen as a more accurate predictor of labor-market trends.

Here comes the serious bit. We had strikes in the UK last week (and no, they weren't about the football). There was all the usual murmuring about what can be done to tackle striking as though it was a scourge on the fabric of our society. I was raised with the idea that striking is an unnecessary inconvenience to "all of us regular working people". It turned out that is how office workers and people in management and senior positions view themselves. And when was the last time they striked? But the more I learned about why actual "regular working people" strike, the more I realised why it is far from frivolous. For some reason the pensions and pay conditions of those with fairly crappy jobs are forever being tinkered with. There is a staggering amount of inequality in the world – striking is a fairly harmless yet important way of redressing that imbalance. Like all acts of public protest, striking is rarely used and clearly indicates there is a problem. And if you haven't heard "We shall overcome" by the late Pete Seeger, well, listen to it.

For the Literary Set, Home Cooking, Unedited
Published: June 12, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
Mrs. Schiffrin is an expert on international shopping, having turned her extensive travel, both to visit family and for her husband's business, into a series of best-selling books in the 1970's. The first one, ''The Catalogue of Catalogues,'' was a guide to stores outside the United States that sold their wares by mail. ''At that time, American taste was absolutely abysmal,'' she said. ''All household things were in avocado green or harvest yellow.'' The book had four sequels.
''I adored doing the first ones, but by the time of the fifth book, it was quite boring,'' she said, measuring ground ginger into the pan with some extra falling in. Does she follow the recent custom in home entertaining and ask her guests if they have food allergies? She threw her head back, and while the only thing she really said was ''Oh,'' it came out sounding like an aria. It's one of her stalling techniques, which makes it seem that she is riveted by the question while she uses the time to figure out an appropriate response. It's the kind of siren of encouragement men like to hear, particularly at parties.
''Right,'' she finally concluded. ''No, I never ask. I suppose I hostilely think that they should adapt to me rather than me adapt to them.'' She blushed. ''Though there was the time that Alger and Isabel Hiss came for dinner and I made something curried for the main dish and Isabel said they couldn't possibly eat anything so highly spiced.''
So what happened? She shrugged. ''They ate everything else.'' She sliced garlic into the pan. ''I really am pretty hardhearted as a hostess,'' she said. ''I'm doing the cooking, so they eat what I decide to make.''
Well, what happens if something really goes wrong? She thought a moment. ''There was one big dinner party years ago and when it came time to take the veal roast out of the oven I realized I hadn't switched it on,'' she recalled. ''Our daughters were there and they took a vote, whether we should have Chinese takeout or omelets. With the exception of one friend who is a heart surgeon, everyone voted for omelets, and they thought they were wonderful.''
It was lucky that she had enough eggs. She laughed. ''They may have been small omelets,'' she allowed. ''I always feel that I don't want too many leftovers. I usually make it so there's enough left for one more meal. But the other week, I was making supper for André's authors, and I thought nine were coming and at the last minute there were 14. There wasn't enough time to get more food, and I thought it wasn't really enough. But one man wrote and said how nice it was to get the right amount of food for once and not go off too full.''
The timer for the onions buzzed. ''I'm really too casual and slapdash to be a good cook,'' she said. ''I massacre recipes, do what I can to make them easier.'' She lifted the lid of the pan with trepidation. The onions were a perfect golden brown.
Most of what she makes is perfect, according to Mr. Terkel, an author of Mr. Schiffrin's who has been eating Mrs. Schiffrin's cooking for 35 years. ''I call her Escoffier in drag,'' Mr. Terkel said by phone. ''It's always a meal prepared with such love and attentiveness and obvious knowledge.''
One thing Mrs. Schiffrin never makes is hors d'oeuvres. ''It's partly the bother, partly filling up before the meal,'' she said. ''But André sometimes sneaks nuts in, and he's always making great signals to bring out the food.'' She sprinkled coriander on the chicken. ''I like drinking and talking.'' Of all kinds. ''When guests behave badly I enjoy it, actually,'' she said. ''I love people having fights.'' She also lets guests smoke. ''Practically no one does anymore, but I don't mind when they do,'' she said. ''The smell of cigarette smoke and wine the next day still seems to me to be delicious.''
She stood suddenly. ''Ooh, I have to add the olives,'' she said, opening a jar over the sink and draining them through her fingers. ''What I do hate is this idea of taking things to people's houses,'' she went on. ''It's a terrible nuisance. I hate flowers, having to stop and look for a vase, though I don't mind being brought wine. When friends come I very much like a phone call and a frank postmortem, especially because André and I are pretty bad at it. Maybe because we block things out so much.''
Really? She smiled. ''For a while I studied psychology at the New School, but I didn't want to work,'' she said, sitting back down on her stool. ''I enjoy feeding people. When I'm pottering around cleaning up, I'm not paying bills or anything else dreadful.''
The kitchen was filling with the smells of the chicken, and a breeze lifted the azalea branches at the door. ''Years ago, when my friends were working, I would feel a bit left out, writing at home,'' she said. ''But now everybody I know is tired of working, sick to death of it and longing to retire.'' She looked amused. ''They've all caught up with me.''
Adapted from ''Mediterranean Cooking'' by Paula Wolfert (Ecco Press, 1985)
Time: 45 minutes, plus optional 2 hours for brining
1/4 cup salt, for brining (optional)
1/2 cup sugar, for brining (optional)
8 chicken thighs with bone, skin removed and discarded
2 onions, peeled, halved and sliced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon Spanish sweet paprika
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
11 ounces pitted green olives in brine, like Goya's, drained
Juice of 1 lemon.
1. To brine chicken (optional): In a large bowl, combine salt, sugar and 1 cup hot water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add 3 cups cold water and chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Drain, rinse, and drain again before using.
2. In bottom of a large flameproof casserole, arrange onions and top with chicken pieces. Sprinkle with ginger, turmeric, cumin, paprika, garlic and cilantro. Pour chicken broth over all.
3. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine olives with several cups of water and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, drain well and set aside.
4. Add olives and lemon juice to chicken, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. If desired, simmer for additional time to reduce and thicken sauce. Serve hot.
Yield: 4 servings.
Adapted from ''Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking'' by Marcella Hazan (Knopf, 1992)
Time: 1 1/2 hours
2 pounds small white boiling onions, blanched, cooled and peeled
3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons good-quality wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
1. Cut a cross into root end of onions, and set aside. In a sauté pan that will hold onions snugly in one layer, place onions, butter and enough water to come no more than 1 inch up sides of pan.
2. Place pan over medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning onions occasionally. Add a little water if pan begins to run dry.
3. Add vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Turn onions again, and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook for 1 hour or more, turning onions occasionally, and adding a tablespoon or two of water whenever necessary. Onions are done when they are a rich, dark, golden brown all over, and are easily pierced when prodded with a fork. Serve hot, with pan juices.
Yield: 4 servings.

Got some mags in the mail today. A few brand spanking new Belgian mags, beautiful! I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to use them
Got another box with some well worn Brazilian mags today, too. They seem to be in good working order. I'll have to refinish these guys.

Since my last update I have acquired the following:
*More mags (I have plenty, now, including 4 brand new condition Belgian mags!)
*The Indian mag catch arrived and is in new condition, thanks to L/FN over at the FAL files.
*Pin gauges for headspacing from MSC
*US made steel cocking handle slider from DSA (had to wait on this, was backordered, just arrived recently)
*US made handguards from DSA, appear to be comparable in quality to the original
*Barrel shoulder shaving tool and barrel timing tool from Randy Nott (aka Ggiilliiee, see here: http://community-1.webtv.net/ggiilliiee/)
So now I have 4 US made parts: magazine floorplates, cocking handle, pistol grip, handguards. 3 more to go. I'm planning to get a Tapco gas piston, Smith Enterprise Vortex flash hider, and maybe a Falcon trigger.
Other things left to acquire:
*Headspace gages
*Barrel vise
*Action wrench
Okay, I really need to find my camera, this is getting ridiculous I'll definitely take some pics along the way of building it, even if I need to borrow a camera for it.
I want to shoot this thing already. I look at all the parts sitting in the drawer almost every morning

Bump, since we've been talking about FALs some, recently. Haven't done anything with this guy, yet. Handled a fixed buttstock FAL the other day and hated how difficult it was to reach the charging handle left handed. I figured out that that first FAL I handled was a Para model with the folding buttstock. Apparently those Paras work okay left handed, must be a shorter length of pull, but with the fixed buttstock (as is the case with my kit), it's definitely a no-go, have to contort my shoulder all weird just to reach the charging handle, and when I finally get there it has my arm at an awkward angle such that it feels really weak doing what it needs to do. Really sad because I absolutely love the feel and sight picture of this rifle. Oh well, between my M1 Garand and AR-15, I figure I'm set, anyway.
Only thing that bothers me is when I look at the parts I still drool But I haven't even built it, yet.
So I'm thinking that with the money that selling this FAL will free up will let me do a couple things...one I'm thinking I want a backup full sized carry pistol...in my day to day life that's a lot more important right now. I'm doing IDPA recently, and that's had me doing a lot of thinking. I'm kind of starting to like Glocks for the first time, especially now that they came out with this 4th generation with the adjustable backstraps and reversible mag release (great for me as a lefty, makes the Glock basically a left handed pistol). Carrying a Kahr has had me change my mind on pistols without external safeties, and plastic framed pistols, too (I shoot that little thing lights-out, better than my 1911, actually...).
That and I was just reading an article in a MilSurp magazine the other day about how they sent off their CMP M1 Garand to James River Armory for a restoration job for $360. Sounds pretty cool. They repark all your metal, and fit a new black walnut stock that is a nearly perfect reproduction of what would have been on your rifle when it was new, including cartouches and S/N matching (they put their own cartouche inside so that it's not a forgery). I was thinking about doing that, or maybe just a repark from Shuff's Parkerizing (I've heard good things about his work, and just the repark is a good bit cheaper...$125...and my stock isn't in terrible shape). The parkerization on my M1 is looking a little worn...
So I'm trying to gather up the courage to list my FAL stuff this weekend. I might need some encouragement, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

"Sweepingly informative and enlightening"
This strikes the perfect balance of information presented in an engaging style. Very enlightening but at the same time stirs frustration and great caution while providing great clarity. If you want to know what happens behind closed doors in health care and the agencies that we have created to protect and serve us in this regard this is a sobreing dose of reality with a reminder to stay vigilant for yourself and beyond all the science, think for yourself and always check any perspective against basic 'farmers arithmatic' and if it doesn't seem to add up - regardless of the claims of the 'expert' keep asking questions until your satisfied you understand then trust your own common sense.
The deepth to which intellectual arrogance can consume those that are well educated and either blind them to their own faillings or lead them to lies and subtrofuge.
The only thing that can change a simple basic fact is context - open books with an open mind and go from there - this is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to find a cure for what ails most of us.
"Best novel ever"
A fascinating concept with an incredible array of really good characters and Bo does this story pick you up and move.
Melanie is an old broad you will learn to both admire for her crazy like. Fox, daring without caring and I don't think I've ever met someone as self centered and delay duded in such a crazy, scarey and brutal way you can't help but both marvel and laugh. She is beyond amusing. So many characters who have a depth , if so someone told me I'd know this much about so many I would have said no thanks, but they come upon you or you them for a meaningful and interesting purpose...not hard to manage at all.
Great performances! I heard Melanie and the others this way in my head when I. Read the print version ages ago!
Sweeping beyond what you thought possible...riveting and great fun with characters you hate to love cause they are just that badly good.
"I'm jealous of his fascinating life"
In the top 5 for biographical books
The fact that he was alive when real pirates like Blackbeard roamed the earth as well as at momentous times like the Declaration of Independence etc.
Just an awareness that I was lucky to happen again on such a well done bit of history
"Good insight into what we don't know!"
Liked being 'along for the ride' in foreign locations to hear what's going on out there.
"Takes you away yet brings you to what matters"
I love reading myself and listening when the narrator is at least as good as the voices I imagine. This reader is one voice but really good and appropriate to the story and characters
Each one is so well developed hard to choose but obviously Einstein seconded only by Travis and Nora with Nora edging out Others perhaps as she comes the farthest from start to finish more than I would have thought realistically possible. I LOVE the sense of human character growth from potential to 'reality' in a short period of time and without relying on torturing the character forever. This is very uplifting encouraging, a good example of not only what is ephemerally possible, but what is probable with choosing the right attitude!
Not that I know of
Skipped some 'adult parts when listening with kids but I felt very happy and at peace with the world and even joy for life and its mysteries seriously. Periodically was impressed and noticed how well written th s all while being gripped by the story very coo!

good balls, did not realize they were made in 2002
I bought this for a gift and the reciever loved them. Nike has good workmanship.
I used to play this ball back a few years ago. I thought Nike stopped making it. Its a great ball. Its soft around the greens and still goes as far as anything else I've tried. It feels similar to a ProV1 to me, but its not $50 a dozen. I sometimes buy the used balls at overstock, but this is a good deal on 2 dozen.

Very nice condo walking distance from the slopes
We had a great stay. The place is nice and comfortable. We had two couples, 3 children (18 months, 2yrs, 5yrs) and our dog with all comfortable. Locker at the mountain is a very nice extra. The walk is about 10 minutes and without your gear is a perfect warm up before hitting the slopes. Owners are very accommodating!

Removing mystery stains from vintage crochet
I am considering buying a vintage ecru crochet tablecloth I found online. I am very interested in this particular piece because it matches some other pieces I have. I am planning to use it as a bed coverlet, not a tablecloth. I have not seen it in person. However, there are stains right in the middle, which would therefore be impossible to hide. I would like to know how to remove them. I know I have done a few small stained pieces I already own, and the stains were very hard to get out without using bleach then having to re-dye them with tea. Even then, there was a trace left. It would be a huge pain if I had to bleach something this big and then try to re-dye it. I would have to do the whole thing, as bleaching really could not be done selectively. For all I know these could be years old, and may be set. They are brown and could be coffee or tea. I am motivated to do it if it is possible, though.
I am testing some small inexpensive pieces I have now, in Biz. I figure whatever stains might be on vintage crochet table linens, are probably much the same type. However, the stains on those are not budging even after soaking for 2 days in a concentrated solution. Next I will try Oxyclean. If I can't come up with a system that works consistently, I had better pass, even though I WANT this one due to the matching pattern.
Thanks for your help!
Here is a closeup of one of the stains: I asked the seller for this:
I'm not sure I have ever heard of Resolve. I will have to look for it.
The stains on on my sample pieces did not budge even after soaking for 3 days in a concentrated solution of Biz. Now I am trying Oxyclean. After 12 hours in Oxyclean: for 1 piece that had a minor light stain, the stain is gone. 3 pieces with more serious darker stains similar to the one I want to buy, are still there and unchanged.
I have had some luck with soaking in OxiClean all day, then in a solution of Dawn dishwashing liquid over night, then OxiClean all day, and Dawn again at night. This was with some old linen napkins with crochet lace inserts, of my great-grandmother's that had both food and grease stains. Those stains had been setting for at least 50 years.
It took a couple of days and there are still a few faint spots on some of the napkins, but you can't see them in ordinary use. This also worked on an old linen tablecloth.
You could also try putting the items outside on a sunny day. Sun is a very good bleaching agent.
I like to soak vintage linens in Orvus Equine Soap. As Camlan wrote, drying in the sun also helps fade stains.
I have wonderful luck with plain Dawn. Just rub in and let set until next washing. I don't usually have to do that though, just rub in and wash. I have gotten lots of grease stains out of tableclothes this way. And I have no idea how long the stains had been there as I bought them from garage sales or thrift stores. I have heard that peroxide with Dawn does well also, but have never tried it. And as Camlan stated, hanging linens on a very sunny day does wonders also. Good luck! :-)
Please be careful with the products you choose. Commercial bleaches and detergents, even oxygen-based ones, are WAY too harsh to use on delicate crochet. If they will remove mold from a plastic lawn chair, you know they are strong! They will damage the fibers in your fabric, even though you can't see the damage at first. Don't ruin your tablecloth while trying to save it.
I have had good luck with Mama's Miracle Linen Soak, which is a very gentle product made just for vintage and antique linens. It removes even old, set-in stains without damaging the item. It really works!

Workers with the City of Gadsden Street Department lift the rear of this 1995 Ford Escort out of harm's way after a sinkhole developed under the left rear tire Friday afternoon at the intersection of South 10th and Chestnut streets in Gadsden. The driver of the car, Sarah Garrett of Gadsden, was not injured in the mishap, and her vehicle appeared to be fine. Gravel that was used to fill the hole later washed out during Friday's storm and police again had to direct traffic around the site.

We recommend the Alba to any age group clientele. Frederik at reception was very welcoming and professional and we were able to check-in at 7 am! Thank you Frederik. We were in Lourdes to visit Our Lady's grotto and it was a hugely successful trip. It was also our first time booking through venere.com. thank you

I booked for a single room and was pleasantly surprised as the allocated room had a king size bed that was a bonus. I did not eat in the restaurant as this is my fourth visit to Lourdes but first stay at hotel. I loved the hotel.

Nice location as it was not uphill and was close to the Domain. Staff were good but need to take instructions from residents with care, as when we booked a taxi they did not come backto us as a result we had to pay Euro 25 extra for taxi. We hope to use Hotel Alba again in future when we return to Lourdes. MB

It's already begun: iPhone 3G line starting in New York CityAlthough it's not the first release and ample supply is expected, a queue has reportedly begun outside of Apple's Fifth Avenue retail store to buy iPhone 3G a full week before its release.
As of mid-afternoon on Friday, a ten-person line has been spotted by Gear Diary along the marble border that surrounds the retail store above ground.
The lineup is acknowledged by both store security and Apple employees, some of whom have already left the store temporarily to talk with those in line. Chairs and other apparel make it clear the early visitors are there for the seven-day wait.
The names of those first in line are unknown, though unlike the queue at the same store last year, the front isn't headed up by well-known line waiter Greg Packer, who regularly queues up early to be the first in line for many high-profile events.
Also unlike last year, however, there exists more of a clear incentive to be first in line at the New York City flagship outlet. With customers required to activate iPhone in-store rather than simply walk out with their purchases, the time spent processing each customer is estimated to take at least 10 minutes — a process that will slow the line down considerably versus the original launch, in which many customers could buy their handsets and leave in just a fraction of the time.
A snapshot of the early lineup. Image credit: Gear Diary

Pulse Phone app has its finger on the pulse
By Darren Quick
November 16, 2010
Instead of relying on the iPhone's microphone or extra hardware to measure a user's heart rate like most other heart rate apps, Antimodular Inc.'s Pulse Phone does so by using the iPhone's built-in camera. When the user places their finger over the iPhone camera, the app detects the changes in the intensity of light passing through the finger, which changes as blood pulses through the veins.
The app's use of the iPhone's camera by way of an (at the time) unauthorized "hack" of Apple's code for the camera meant that the app was rejected when it was initially submitted to Apple over a year and a half ago. However, the recent relaxing of restrictions means Pulse Phone has now been approved. The use of the camera means that users can measure their pulse in noisy environments where microphone-based apps may struggle.
Pulse Phone works on older iPhone's and will handle a variety of different ambient light conditions, although bright light yields the best results. However, with the use of the iPhone 4's built-in flash, the app is even able to function in complete darkness – if measuring your pulse in complete darkness is your thing. Users can also save their readings and email them from within the app to keep a track of your heart rate over time.
Although there are other camera-based heart rate apps available, Pulse Phone developer Rafael Lozano-Hemmer believes his app's image analysis is superior. Even so, a warning that appears when the app loads cautions against using the app for medical purposes.
Pulse Phone is available on the iTunes App Store for US$1.99.

IPE or Other Sustainably Harvested Wood For Deck
I've nixed anything pvc or even the plastic recycled lumber material for a deck and want good old fashioned wood. Even the new ACQ (which replaced CCA) doesn't thrill me. I want to go as green as I can and as I can afford. So I'm looking into truly sustainable and least maintenance decking. (Operable word there being "least" because anyone knows that no material is maintenance free).
So far I'm considering one of the IPE hardwoods (guaranteed sustainably harvested by stamp on material), mahogany, even teak, maaaaybe redwood or true heartwood red cedar - again, only sustainably harvested stuff. Some are more rot resistant than others and some are almost completely insect-damage resistant.
Any suggestions? Opinions. Anything?
I just built a large garapa deck (cheaper than ipe but similar characteristics) and love it. Come on over to the decks and porches forum and we'll be able to help you out some more.
Here is a link that might be useful: My garapa deck
We used Ipe and are almost done.. putting the handrail /cable rail system today and finishing it Friday I hope. The stain /uv protection will go on in spring. Heres a link to some pics on the porch and decks forum where I suggest you do more research. Lots of threads on many different materials.
Thanks for the links to all your photos. Wow! to you all! Sorry I posted this here, didn't know there was a specific porch & deck forum. That's definitely the place I should be.
Deck's still in planning stage. Not proceeding till spring. Give me time to chose wood and peruse all the pertinent posts over at P&D forum. Thanks again. jef

The Most Vitriolic Article on the Paul Campaign I have Seen yetSubmitted by RonPaulio on Thu, 03/08/2012 - 14:54
Its on Yahoo of course. Surprise Surprise. She also disabled the comments section. Make sure to write the author and Yahoo. I did.
Four years ago, the shrewdest presidential candidates used YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and a dash of Twitter. They also tried to gain a strange new psychic edge called—in the contrived conceit of the day—"mindshare in the blogosphere." Apps were nowhere in campaign strategies. The iPhone was new. The iPad didn't exist.
So who e-campaigned best last time? During Super Tuesday week in 2008, Garlik, a British firm that monitors digital reputations, ranked the day's presidential candidates by online popularity. It didn't take Nate Silver or that Zogby person to call the winner. If you hung around social media even a little, you knew the fix was in.
It wasn't Hillary Clinton. Nor Mitt Romney, John McCain or Barack Obama. Blowing them all away—sealing for himself, in fact, the Presidency of the United Cyberstates of Digital America, commander-in-chief of the Information-Wants-To-Be-Free World—was, naturally, Congressman Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul.
