Shiny and elegant
I've ordered and returned way too many sets of curtains - they tend to look so different at home from the way they look on the screen! I finally found a set worth keeping. The taupe is a true beigy-taupe just like in the picture, and the pattern is a little darker than in the picture. (In some lighting, the pattern almost looks golden, although not in a crass or obvious way.) These curtains are really much more elegant in person that in the picture. They are light-weight and have a significant sheen, which makes them look very elegant in an antique-y way.Read More
Curtain Panel
Gorgeous drapes, fall perfectly when hung, very pleased with quality and my purchase.Read More
Great Product
I ordered these for my living room, they look great as in the picture. I did need to order more for a fuller look. Very happy with the reasonable price. Could not make curtains for this price.Read More
Not as pictured
Before buying we looked closely at the photo to see how it was gathered and pleated at the top. The product we received was not gathered in any way, so it certainly doesn't hang very nice. The material was much lighter weight than expected but does do a good job of blocking much of the light.Read More
Lovely, but sheer
These are lovely drapes, just know that they are pretty sheer. I'm actually using them as sheers behind thicker drapes. The pattern is very pretty and they are just what I was looking for.Read More
Very nice curtains!
I purchased these curtain for my dining room about a year ago. The previous descriptions are quite accurate. They are very nice for the money. I don't feel they are excellent only because they are not lined and don't have a super rich look to them. I have them hanging in my rather ornately decorated living room and they blend quite well. I have them pushed in a closed position with another curtain in between over my sliding glass door. I don't feel that they are too thin despite not having a lining. You cannot see through them from the outside at night. They let in a little light through the decorative jacquard pattern. I do need to still open my curtains during the day time in order for my plants to receive enough light. The color was better than I expected...I was concerned that they may be too gold, but they are a very nice addition next to my deep mauve colored walls. I have muted gold accents in the room, and they match quite well. Overall, I'm very pleased that I purchased this product.Read More
Monitor woes
I ordered one panel in shell, and I just thought I'd warn anybody who also has a monitor that displays inaccurate color that shell isn't white/black (as it appears on my apparently overly contrasted screen) it's more of a beige/black. They're lovely curtains, I am sad they won't match my room because of the beige!Read More
Crinkle Curtains
I loved these curtains so much I have them in two colors, The Gold on Chocolate is stunning in my bedroom and the Sienna makes the quest bedroom warm, cozy and inviting. Incredible value for the product. Would recommend highly.Read More
Cafe Color
These curtains really are beautiful and bring together everything in my living room. The price really kept me from purchasing them, but at the end of the day I'm glad I did! Just so you know, they are unlined so when the sun hits them directly it's hard to see the color and pattern...but when there is indirect sunlight and at night (when indoor lights are on) you truly see the beautiful colors and pattern. They are thick enough to keep sunlight out though. Another reviewer was correct that they do not hang like the picture...but I don't think that's a big deal. I gave 4 stars for value and overall because I wish the price was lower!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello jbell526, this listing is for one single panel. Thanks for shopping with us!
Are these lined?
Hello, millertoni395. No, these panels are not lined. Thank you for your inquiry, and have a great day.
Are the federal blue still available? I would love to have them, but cannot pull up that color.
Thank you for shopping with us linda0585. I checked this style in the different lengths and none had federal blue as an option. Here is a link to the curtains that we have in that color. Have a great day. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=federal+blue+curtains&SearchType=Header
I think I need to order 6 panels for the room. Why can't I select 6 on the qty?
If you cannot select six on the quantity, it means that we do not have six available in this stock. At the present moment, you can order up to 20 in both colors.
how large is the pocket for the rod? what size rod does it fit on?
The pocket will fit a standard curtain rod.
Is the shell color sold out?
The shell color is currently in stock.
what is the color of the design on the cream curtains? what about the champaign ones?
I am a bit confused as neither cream or champagne are color options for this curtain. The pattern on the taupe curtains is white. The pattern on the shell curtains is black. I hope that helps.
Does this include a rod?
Unfortunately, these curtains do not include the rod.
The background color on the Federal Blue, is it cream, off white, or white?
The background is off-white.
What is the color of the pattern on the shell color?
According to a review, the color of the shell curtains are beige and black.
Once ordered, will there be one panel or two?
This is one panel.
Shopping Guides
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Install Blackout Curtains
Blackout curtains can keep a room cool and dark even when it's bright and sunny outside. A completely dark room is a wonderful thing if you have a job that requires you to work all night or even if you just want a dark room for watching a movie when it's light outside. In addition, blackout window treatments help you conserve energy by keeping heat in and cold out or vice versa. You have two choices when it comes to installing blackout curtains: You can buy curtains that come with blackout liners already sewn in, or you can add panels of blackout fabric to the curtains you already own.
How to Drape a Scarf Valance

Discover a few basic instructions that will yield a swag-style scarf valance using swag hooks. The instructions may be modified to create a variety of creative valances.
How to Choose Curtains and Drapes for Your Home
Picking out the best window coverings for your home may not be rocket science, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put some consideration into what you choose.

How to Create a Bishop's Sleeve Window Treatment
A bishop's sleeve window treatment is a single curtain panel that has been tied in several places to make it look like the billowing sleeve seen on formal bishop's sleeve blouses, which is fuller at the top and gathered at the end.

FAQs about Thermal Insulated Curtains

June 21, 1960 D. FISCHBEIN 2,941,489
MOVABLE THREAD CUTTER FOR ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINES Filed March 5, 1957 INVENTOR. UulrB Fisuhhuir;
F g. Jun/1r K AT TORNEY United States Patent MOVABLE THREAD CUTTER FOR ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINES Dave Fischbein, 2720 30th Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minn. Filed Mar. 5, 1957, Ser. No. 644,137 3 Claims. (Cl. 112-252) My present invention relates to improvements in electric sewing machines and, more particularly, to a movable thread cutter therefor acting in conjunction with and mounted on the feed dog carrier block and throat plate of the sewing mechanism to facilitate the cutting of the sewing thread as required.
It may be well to state here that this present invention is in the nature of an improvement of the stationary thread cutter as is disclosed in United States Letters Patent No. 2,484,495 issued to me as patentee and assigned to the Dave Fischbein Co. of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a movable thread or chain stitch cutter that will automatically sever the thread or chain at the end of a given sewing operation.
Another object of this invention is to provide a movable thread or chain stitch cutter wherein the cooperating cutter blades of the cutter assembly are detachably mounted in their respective stations to facilitate the replacement or resharpening thereof.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view partly in plan and partly in section of a portion of the sewing machine diagrammatically showing the feed dog carrier block and slide and its mounted components, the presser foot and the needle, with the invention shown mounted, by heavy solid lines;
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the feed dog carrier block and the throat plate showing the invention mounted thereon;
Fig. 3 isa bottom plan view thereof;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the invention showing the means for detachably securing the movable blade and mount the one to the other; and
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the throat plate showing the mounting of the stationary cutter blade.
For the purpose of this application and in the interest of brevity and clarity, the following components are conventional but pertinent parts of the electric sewing machine disclosed in the above identified United States patent and are named herein to show the relationship of said parts as they affect the instant application, to wit: the reciprocating feed dog carrier block and slide 6, feed dog 7, looper 8, throat plate 9, presser foot 10, and the needle and needle bar assembly 11.
The numeral 12 is directed to a spring steel mounting bracket for a movable cutter blade 13 that is detachably secured thereto to afford means for easy removal thereof for replacement or sharpening of said cutter member, as presently will be described.
The mounting bracket 12 is formed of spring steel to impart a resiliency to the entire movable cutter assembly to thus afford the proper frictional engagement between 2,941,489 Patented June 21, 1960 the movable cutter blade 13 mounted thereon and a stationary cutter blade 14 that is detachably secured for replacement .or sharpening purposes, to the under surface of the throat plate at the rear end marginal edge portion thereof, see Figs. 3 and 4.
The mounting bracket 12 is formed of a single piece of spring steel and comprises a base portion 15 having a pair of longitudinally disposed countersunk screw holes for a pair of attaching screws 16 which have screwthreaded engagement with the base of the feed dog carrier block and slide 6, by which the mount .12 is rigidly but detachably secured to said feed dog carrier block and slide 6, and an upstanding end portion 17 bent at right angles to the base portion. In end elevation, this section 17 of the mounting bracket 12 is laterally offset and notched to provide for necessary clearance and its upper end portion is terminated in a pair of upstanding prongs 18 that afford a mounting station for the movable cutter blade assembly 13, as will presently be described. A secondary spring 19 in the form of an upwardly and outwardly extended arm is rigidly attached to the section 17 of the mounting bracket 12 and is transversely centered between the upstanding prongs 18. This secondary spring is terminated at its outer end portion to form a shoe 20 that rides against the lower surface of the detachable cutter blade 13 to further insure proper frictional engagement between the movable cutter blade 13 and its cooperating stationary blade 14. The detachable cutter blade 13 is also formed of a single piece of mate rial which, after fabrication, is hardened to hold a sharp cutting edge. This detachable member 13 comprises a backing plate 21, a pair of parallel vertically disposed guide rails or channels 22 and the cutting blade section 23 that is formed by bending the material rearwardly at right angles to the rails 22. The outer end portion thereof is finish ground to a substantially semicircular radius and ground and honed to a keen cutting edge. The guide rails or channels 22 have endwise sliding engagement with the prongs .18 and have a relatively tight working fit, the one upon the other.
It will thus be seen that when the guide rails or channels 22 engage the prongs 18 to their full working depth, the shoe 20 forming the cutter end portion of the secondary spring 22, impinges the under surface of the blade section 23 to further maintain proper working tension between the movable blade 13 and the stationary blade 14, the latter of which is rigidly but detachably secured to the under side of the rear end portion of the throat plate 9. This stationary blade 14 is dimensioned to engage with endwise sliding movements at V bed machined in said throat plate 9 in its underside, and a set screw 25 has screw-threaded engagement with the throat plate to rigidly position and hold the blade 14 in proper operational position. Obviously, by removing the set screw and endwise sliding the blade 14 rearwardly in its V bed 24, the blade 14 can be removed and replaced at will. A central longitudinally disposed slot 26 is formed in the sections 21 and 23 of the cutting member 13 to afford a guide having longitudinal engagement with a guide rail 27 on the throat plate 9. I
As has been stated in the objects of this invention, this movable cutter blade assembly takes the place of the heretofore used stationary blade alone, which required the manual cutting of the chaining or thread by drawing said chaining or thread against the sole cutting blade mounted in the throat plate. In using the present invention in conjunction with the sewing operation, when it is desired to cut the chaining or thread, it is only necessary while the machine is in operation, to guide the chaining or thread into engagement with the stationary blade 14 mounted in the throat plate 9 where the same will be easily cut by the cooperating movements of the blades 13 and 14, respectively.
While there are herein disclosed but a limited number of embodiments of the structure, process and product of the invention herein presented, it is possible to produce still other embodiments without departing from the inventive concept herein disclosed, and it is vdesired, there fore, that only such limitations be imposed on the appended claims as are stated herein or required by the prior art.
What I claim is:
1. An automatic movable threadcutter mechanism for electric sewing machines having a throat plate and a reciprocating feed .dog carrier block comprising in combination, a mounting bracket adapted .to be detachably secured to the feed dog carrier blockot an electric sewing machine, a cutter blade reciprocably mounted on said mounting bracket, a stationary cutter blade adapted to be detachably mounted on the throat plate of an electric sewing machine positioned for close working engagement with the reciprocable cutter blade, spring means rigidly mounted on the said mounting bracket to impart tension to the reciprocable cutter blade against the cooperating stationary cutter blade, andpowered means imparting reciprocating motion to the reciprooable cutter blade.
2. An automatic movable thread cutter mechanism for electric sewing machines having a throat plate and a reciprocating feed 10g carrier .block comprising in combination, a mounting bracket adapted to be detachably secured to the reciprocating feed dog carrier block of an electric sewing machine, said mounting bracket having a horizontally disposed base section and a vertically disposed offset blade mounting section, said blade mounting section having a pair of parallel upstanding prongs, a removable cutter blade having a horizontally disposed cutting edge portion, and a pair of parallel spaced integral guide rails or channels having endwise slidable engagement with the said prongs of said mounting bracket, an upwardly and outwardly projected flat spring terminating in a shoe having frictional engagement with the lower horizontal surface of the cutter blade, a stationary cutting blade mounted in the under surface of the throat plate of an electric sewing machine and having cooperating action with the movable cutter "blade, the opposing surfaces of said movable blade and stationary blade being held to close frictional engagement by tension imparted by said spring means on the mounting bracket, and powered means imparting reciprocating motion to the mounting bracket and sl-idable blade.
3. The structure defined in cl m 2, further including detachable means adapted to secure the stationary cutting blade to the throat plate of an electric sewing machine,
and thread-engaging means in said throat plate whereby the thread or chaining is severed automatically while the sewingmachine is in operation by cooperating cutting action of the slidable and stationary blades.

distillation of medical herbs
I've been working with medicinal herbs for many years and have recently gotten deeper into trying to extract the active ingredients via distillation. Does anyone know how pure the extract can be and still be legal to sell without a pharmacology license? It hasn't been an issue before when I was either selling tinctures or raw herbs but this may be crossing lines into selling "drugs" so does anyone know the relevant US laws on the subject? Thankss
Welcome to Gardenweb, and happy birthday If you entered it right.
I don't think its a matter of purity, I think it depends what chemical and what strength.
If you leech out a controlled substance (like saffarole or cocaine) then no amount of impurity makes it legal. Also if you are making a claim to treat anything but self limiting symptoms then they will need a prescription to buy if from you and you will need to be a pharmacy to sell it to them.
Have you ever thought about going back to school for pharmacology? If you do you can actually learn how the active compounds work, and sell what ever you like to boot.
Hi I also took a class on medicinal herbs and have gotton to the place where Im interested in distilling (or trying to distill) some herbs. Id like to keep in touch with you just to follow how it goes for you.
Do you incorporated herbal teas along with the use of the oils?
THanks Jan
A LOT. Distilling herbs yields two compounds: 1) the distillate water (hydrosol) which contains the hydrophyllic (water loving) properties of the herb & 2) the essential oil which contains the concentrated plant oils. A special still is required-- one that can be sealed completely & which has the additional apparatus to separate the hydrosol from the e.o. Small stills run around $400 for home use & yield only an ounce of e.o. at a time, if that. They get kinda pricey for large scale production (even if you do it yourself) & are most suitable for people who have herb farms & can do mass production.
Since you are getting only hydrosols or essential oils from distillation, I don't see why you need any permits or pharmacology licenses. Other methods of extraction --like freebasing (same methodology used to make crack as to extract caffeine)-- which may isolate specific compounds may involve permitting, but those procedures are not "distillation".
Depending on your local health codes, you may need a permit that shows you follow good manufacturing processes-- clean areas, appropriate plumbing, no animals in production & storage areas--check and see.
BTW, for those confused by the term distillation, think about distilled water-- it's simply water that's been evaporated & collected again, leaving all its impurities behind. Herb distillation is similar and it does not yield any alcohol (which comes from the "mash" or fermented corn/grains in moonshining).

"An articulate songwriter with a versatile and gritty tenor voice -- a combination that has drawn comparisons to everyone from Jeff Buckley to Leonard Cohen -- MATTHEW PERRYMAN JONES has the touch of a poet and the narrative reach of a short story writer, making the best of his songs deeply resonant." -Steve Leggett (Rovi)
Having just finished his first full length album since 2008, Land of the Living was produced by Cason Cooley (Katie Herzig) and released on May 29th of 2012. This record was fan funded through Kickstarter and raised over $26K in 1 month, 30% over his asking goal. This no doubt conveys an enthusiasm among fans of MPJ's music. Kickstarter backers who received an advance download of the record are already touting this to be Jones' best work to date. Matthew holds nothing back on this record and delivers his most emotional and musically compelling work yet. Shortly written after the death of his father, this album is a courageous personal odyssey through life's most troubled waters of love and loss, and communicates the process by which we grieve, and the fight to find restored hope. The writing process of Land of the Living was an intense wringing of words, emotions, and melody from the rags of Jones' solitude, but are an account of his truth found in the pain. Produced by Cason Cooley (Katie Herzig) and released on May 29th, the record could not have found a better birthplace than the elusive bohemian studio in Round Top, Texas, where it was recorded. The studio itself was made from a 1700's Amish farmhouse, is surrounded by vast land and skies, and haunted by a woman the band came to call Sarah. Matthew slept in a teepee outside the studio for the week the band recorded, and the short time span forced them to "trust our gut and bring our very best to the table."
Jones began playing out in 1997, debuting at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA, but he soon relocated to Nashville. In 2000 he released Nowhere Else But Here followed by an EP, For the Road, in 2003. Released in 2006, Throwing Punches in the Dark was produced by Neilson Hubbard (Glen Phillips, Garrison Star) and met with high critical praise. Jones re-teamed with Hubbard for Swallow the Sea, which was released in 2008. His music has found a home on Film and TV with over 30 placements on shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Bones, One Tree Hill, Pretty Liars & Private Practice.
One of the most sought-after songwriters in Nashville, Jones builds on his accomplishments with his 2013 single, "Anymore of This." The duet, written and recorded with Mindy Smith, was featured on ABC Family's "Switched at Birth" in January.
Jones' songs have also been featured in television shows including Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Bones, Pretty Little Liars, NY Med, Flash Point, One Tree Hill, The Hills, and Eli Stone as well as in the 2012 movie release What To Expect When You Are Expecting.
It's called 'chemistry', an elusive quality that can be part history, part mystery and all intangible until the moment that you feel it. It's a meant-to-be melding of the emotional and creative that can happen between songwriters, performers, best friends or life partners. For Josh and Nicole Johnson – the duo Elenowen – that connection is all of the above and much more. And on their self-titled EP, the chemistry they share is as rare – and real – as it gets.
Though emerging from the same Nashville-based Americana-folk scene as The Civil Wars, Elenowen deliver a sonic glow all their own. Amidst haunting harmonies and elegiac lyrics, their songs flow with an undercurrent of yearning, surrender and unexpectedly sharp edges. "We strive to maintain a certain vulnerability in our music," Josh says. "We write a lot about our own lives as well as the truths about relationships that we relate to. We think it creates an intimacy that's totally connected to the music." The sound itself is roots-driven, with accents of cello and pedal steel cutting a deeply evocative facet. Even the name Elenowen is an authentic nod to heritage, with Ellen being Josh's mom's middle name and Owen being the middle name of Nicole's dad. "They're the sides of the family we each got our music from," explains Josh. "What's in our hearts will always come out in what we do."
The singular power of Elenowen comes from the bond that can only exist between two people who've known – and loved – each other for most of their lives. "We were 15 and 16 when we met," explains Nicole. "We dated for a year, broke up for a year and a half, then got back together and have been together ever since. After that first breakup, I think we both still knew that we were meant for each other, but we also knew that we weren't what each other needed at that point in our lives." At 18, Josh moved from Knoxville to Nashville to be with Nicole, writing songs and pursuing a music degree at Belmont University while Nicole worked as a homecare attendant, back-up singer and barista. Within a year of Josh's graduation, the starkly candid debut album Pulling Back The Veil chronicled their first year of marriage with songs that were subsequently showcased on TV shows like 'One Tree Hill' and MTV's 'World Of Jenks'. Josh and Nicole began filming impromptu performances in their small basement apartment, with the resulting clips – called 'The Basement Sessions' – quickly garnering a following on YouTube and the No Depression website. In 2011, Elenowen made their national television debut on the top-rated premiere season of NBC's 'The Voice'. But it's the five tracks on their new EP that now mean the most to the couple and convey what's most real to audiences.
"We wrote all these songs around the same time," explains Josh, "when Nicole and I were walking through similar issues and feelings. Most marriages are not all lovey-dovey, like most love songs claim. For us, these songs are as much about love as they are about the struggle of keeping love alive." The EP's opening track, "Flying For The First Time", is co-written with acclaimed singer/songwriter Trent Dabbs and soars with uninhibited vocal harmony and lyrical beauty. "Blood And Bones", also co-written with Dabbs, is a towering
paean to the physical and emotional bonds of desire. "Head To My Heart", co- written with EP co-producer Philip LaRue, reconciles intuition with passion via Nicole's potent vocals. "We Were Better Off" is a shimmering reflection of lost innocence and mislaid dreams. And "Bittersweet" is a hushed and moody twist on traditional love songs in which a couple affirm they are 'all I want/and nothing that I need'. "I absolutely believe in true love," explains Nicole. "I also believe," she adds with a laugh, "that true love is never easy."
More and more, Elenowen are discovering that the truth of what they do is bringing them new fans nationwide. "I think audiences respond to our honesty," says Josh. "When we perform these songs, people get the feeling they know who we are, because that's what we're putting out there. We are the heart behind our music." For Nicole, the journey both starts and grows in a place of instinctive sharing. "When it's 3 AM and I have an idea for a song," she explains, "my best friend/music partner/husband can grab his guitar and the idea takes off. The songs that come out of those moments are part me, part him, and all us. When we formed Elenowen, I realized that I'm no longer a singer in the shadows. I'm now a half of something that means so much not only to us, but to other people as well."
But what about that thing called chemistry? For Elenowen, it's a one-of-a-kind formula that is about to become bigger than the both of them. "I think our chemistry is what keeps us going," says Nicole. "We fight for it in our marriage, in our friendship and our music. These songs are so much a part of us and the emotion is so real, that every time we sing them its almost as if we're feeling them for the first time.

Breakfast was average
Rooms clean and tidy with plenty of space fantastic bathrooms
Really enjoyed our stay
This was a rush last moment booking, what can I say staff very friendly, rooms very good, no bath but excellent shower, clean not opulent. nice area, very pleasant staff, breakfast is Czech but plenty of it, bit basic. would I stay again YES loved the location, in the middle of the old town, plenty to see and do.
My husband and I have just returned from Prague where we stayed at The Cloister Hotel. Fantastic hotel, very clean and excellent staff who were very knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel is situated a 5 min walk from the old square and was ideal. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable.
This reasonable hotel is very near the Charles Bridge and has lots of eateries, small shops and bars near. There is tea and coffee in lobby 24/7. The whole place is sparkling clean and most of the staff very helpful, especially the girl but cant remember her name.
Breakfast is continental but there is sausage,beans and the usual boiled eggs....
A lovely hotel in a quiet location which is very central and near the Charles Bridge. They arranged a taxi to pick us up at the airport and also to get back to the airport to hire a car. This was all organised very well.
The room was clean and pleasant and there was a very good choice of breakfast...
Very helpful hotel staff online to book cheap taxi from airport to the hotel. On arrival Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful offering to book tours or just giving information about restaurants, tours, sight seeing etc. All staff spoke very good English.
The hotel must have been refurbished recently as all carpets were without a blemish, no chips on...
I was very apprehensive about going to Prague at first, but this hotel and the staff made everything so wonderful during my trip.
Adam in particular at the reception desk was extremely helpful with pointing out the tourist attractions in the city.
The buffet breakfast boasts a great spread and the rooms are very comfortable!
The location is so convenient...
Really I cannot add much to what other reviewers have said, and what I have put in the headline. The most striking thing about the hotel was the service, they really could not do enough for us. There was a mix-up on the first night so that we and our friends (who left earlier than us) were given the wrong...
we stayed a week in prauge in the cloister inn
the staff of the hotel was very nice and attended every problem or question we had, always with a smile
the breakfast was good and had a nice variety of choices, cheese, veg, fruit, meat, bread and everything. they even packed a breakfast for our flight.
the location is brilliant,...
We spent 3 nights here the staff were very helpful,but they forgot to tell us that if you are over 70 travel on the tram is free, you need to have your passport with you to prove your age .

Here's what your iPhone needs – a viewfinder
By Ben Coxworth
January 22, 2013
Although many people now use their camera-equipped smartphone for all their photo-taking needs, better-quality compact cameras still have some key advantages. Among those is the fact that most cameras have an optical viewfinder (along with an LCD screen), allowing users to view images even in bright sunlight. The Daylight Viewfinder aims to add that same functionality to the iPhone.
The Daylight Viewfinder is simply an extendable eyepiece with a screw-on suction pad, that allows it to be temporarily attached to the iPhone's screen – it also works with the iPad or iPod touch.
The gadget is used with the free Daylight Viewfinder app, which shrinks the onscreen image from the iDevice's camera to the point where the whole thing can be seen through the eyepiece. Due to the fact that reducing the size of that image also reduces its resolution, the app is only intended for devices that have the ultra-sharp Retina display.
Additionally, the app features touchscreen controls that are mirrored in an overlay on its viewfinder image, so users can see what button their finger is on without looking away from the viewfinder.
The Daylight Viewfinder is available for US$30 from Photojojo, or via its own website. It can be seen in use in the video below.

Random notes and thoughts on area sports typed in while looking for oil-resistant swim trunks prior to my annual excursion to the Gulf Coast next month:
In hindsight, I should have checked the non-existent record book.
Back in 1997, lanky pitcher Carissa McCoy led the Meade County Lady Waves to a fourth-place finish in the softball state tournament. For her efforts, she was named Area Sophomore of the Year as well as Area Player of the Year on the annual All-Area Softball Team.
RUSSELL SPRINGS — Honestly, I don't know much about excelling in golf. Pretty sure I'd struggle just to get the dang ball off the darn tee.
But you don't have to be a scratch golfer to realize this: Beverly Games doesn't play like the average weekend warrior.
For the Elizabethtown resident, wife and mother of two, golf is just something she does.
It's not something, however, that defines her.
RUSSELL SPRINGS — For everything she didn't do Friday, Karisa Akin still managed to achieve a feat no Elizabethtown woman had been able to previously accomplish.
Akin outlasted fellow Elizabethtown resident and two-time finalist Beverly Games, 1-up, to win the 84th Women's State Amateur Championship at the par-71, 5,200-yard Lakewood Country Club.
By JOSH CLAYWELL
Dickie Jones didn't expect Jessica Gabhart to have this much success so early.
But the Elizabethtown standout hurdler has won two state titles in two years and set a Class 2-A record last season.
When Brandon Bagley transferred from Georgia before his junior year, John Hardin coaches Ralph Tucker and Leland Warsaw saw an athlete with a lot of raw potential.
Neither of them, however, expected Bagley to become the elite athlete he is.
By GREG CREWS
After 84 years, Elizabethtown will have its first Women's Kentucky State Amateur champion.
Karisa Akin and Beverly Games made sure of that Thursday as each won a pair of matches at Lakewood Country Club in Russell Springs to reach today's championship flight final.
The berth to the championship match, however, didn't come easy for either.
By CHUCK JONES firstname.lastname@example.com To the victor goes the spoils. After winning the 17th District and 5th Region championships, the Central Hardin Bruins continued their dominance – this time of the 2010 All-Area Baseball team.

Mind over water with floating yoga
Paddleboarding and poses combine for new discipline: 'If you're not ... engaging everything, you're in the water'
"We're just always so hurried and so busy and in boxes and buildings, so to be out here is great," she said.
Kawar said practicing yoga in the water, often alongside birds, pelicans and seals, brings a new perspective to a yoga class.
"It's very empowering; you walk away feeling like you've conquered the day," she said.
Classes range from mellow to adventurous and are held Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
For those who have their own boards, a single class is $25; five classes are $100; and 10 classes are $170. For those who need to borrow a board, a single class is $35; five classes are $140; and 10 classes are $220.

Bathroom fixture question - do contractors get better quality?
I had a contractor come today to look at a remodel. What I need done is a replacement for a large sized bathroom vanity with a marble top, new sink and faucets, and a new toilet.
I found prices for the sink, fixture, and toilet online. He suggested that I order them through him, not because he would get better prices, but because companies like Kohler and Newport brass that I selected sell higher quality products to contractors.
He said definitely NOT to get stuff form Home depot for the same reason.
Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm wondering if he is being less than honest with me.
Thanks all!
My experience is contractor grade is the bottom of the barrel. I doubt they have different versions of the same model for contractors and ordinary citizens. The company could get in a lot of trouble doing that. More likely some specialty stores offer better models that Home Depot doesn't offer. Or at least they don't stock in the store. I've found that HD and Lowes stock the lower end stuff because that's what sells in bulk. You can go to their website and buy their higher end stuff and they'll usually ship it to the store for free. Plus Home Depot and Lowes will typically give a discount to contractors. Around 5%. If you buy a lot of stuff at once, they'll give them up to 10%.
We bought our Kohler simplice faucet through Home Depot. I got worried when hearing that the Koehler at HD was of lesser quality. I contacted Kohler about this and spoke with a customer service rep who assured me that they were the Kohler products were the same regardless of where they were sold. The rep did say that sometimes a product sold at HD might contain an additional fitting, of a type that a homeowner wouldn't be likely to have but a plumber would, but that the products themselves (in my case, the Simplice faucet) was the same whether you bought it at Home Depot or a bathroom showroom.
Note that something you might get if you buy fixtures through your contractor is an additional warranty if somethings goes wrong (or, at a minimum, the contractor will be the one to deal with tracking down the substitution.)
We did a combination -- ordered the toilet, sink (kitchen and bathroom), faucets, and a number of the external light fixtures ourselves. We had the contractor take care of the tub (because we didn't want to figure out how to transport it back to a store if there was a problem.) We were planning to order the under cabinet lights for the kitchen ourselves but the electrician ended up ordering them for us. A good thing too, because one was broken right from the start.
Our contractor would have charged a 15% upcharge for supplying fixtures (on top of whatever upcharge his sub was charging him) so for us, it was worth it to buy certain things ourselves. For the most part, we used Amazon or Home Depot (HD for things we thought we might want to return if we didn't like the way they looked.)
Home Depot thing is sometimes true, Answer is the somewhat useless "it depends"
The real problem is that Home Depot is a pain and often charges higher prices. This doesn't apply to online, but there are other real pains involved - a surprising amount of stuff has defects out of the box, and online support/returns is usually more than most want to deal with. I buy stuff for myself online. But would hesitate to install online into someone else's house.
Thanks again for all the responses. Here's the followup:
He finally came back with the estimate, and the prices were considerably higher than the fixture prices I saw online. ( Like by 100.00 for the faucet ).
I am thinking of sending him an email with the links pointing to the items and ask him why there are such huge differences in his prices vs online.
Do you think this is appropriate, or should I just say 'thanks', and move on without being confrontational?
Personally I don't think the outcome would be that he'd LOWER his prices, so I don't know what good my email will do.
Personally, I think your contractor just tries to make a profit on all fixtures. I've seen this a lot while interviewing contractors for my master bath remodeling. When I asked questions what is exactly better in the fixtures they offer, I never had a clear answer. I also called Kohler and Delta and asked them if this is true that contractors can get better versions of the products I selected. The answer was no. If the model number is the same, you will get the exact same product.
I would tell him politely but firmly that you will buy fixtures yourself since the online price is much better.
Contractors can get better prices, but from what I understand they usually they pass on a portion of the savings and the other portion is their fee.
If the contractor has experience to know which products are more reliable and have readily available replacement parts, etc. It even seems fair to charge a fair percentage or fee if they provide the product, simply because they are being paid for their expertise. However, it does seem odd that the fixtures are significantly more expensive if they are exactly the same, especially if he purchased them at a lower price.
I would go ahead with e-mailing him, I think you can do it in a way that is curious and information seeking instead of confrontational - include the links showing the model numbers are the same and ask to know what the difference between the products are and what the benefit would be of choosing the more expensive ones - you can always privately verify his response with the manufacturer if you want to. How he handles it will say a lot about what you might do next. Maybe there is a misunderstanding and he is really purchasing a different, higher quality product that looks the same. Or maybe you'll find he is really charging a $100 service fee and opt to order them yourself. Maybe you'll learn just in time he's a shady contractor :)
$100 service fee on hundreds of dollars in fixtures might be reasonable to know they're reliable fixtures and they're covered in the contractor's warranty, but if he won't itemize it for you so you know exactly what you are paying for I would be suspicious.
In my opinion, part of his job is to explain so you as a homeowner are educated about the work that is being done on your property. As long as you don't accuse him of ripping you off before you have enough information, a good contractor will address your concerns and respond professionally.

Answer #1Randico February 18, 2013, 01:07Technician
In orderfor a engine to start you need three things spark, fuel, air. For a 2000 you can with good ear have someone cycle the key, or crank it you should be able to hear the fuel pump come on. If you can hear chances are good that it is functional,but still a fuel pressure test will be needed. Now for spark,get a plug wire leave a 1/4 air gap have someone crank it if you get spark you may need a fuel pump. These are just the basic.
