Very well done!
Thank you, selfdefiant :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Love it
I hate it when life does that though. Something happens and you can't control. Kind of like what is happening with the japanese right now. They had no idea how bad it was going to be until they were too late.
I just want to note one thing though. The beat is a little too weak. I know that this is song that is mostly melody but i think it can have at least a little more emphasis. thats all.
rated 5. There you go ;)
haha, maybe a re-write for this song is in order.. R R R REMIX :D
I probably wont be able to redo this track... since re-installing windows on my new machine... all of my nexus expansions were lost to the unforgiving world of lost data. That was a sad day, indeed. Lost every FLP. :/

Hey, heard anything about Eliot Spitzer this afternoon?
Well he just finished the world's shortest press conference, in which he issued what was, in the words of one of my Governing colleages, "a non-denial apology" for his involvement with a prostitution ring.
Spitzer said one thing that especially caught my attention:
"I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas [and] the public good...."
Is he right? Well, experientially, no, not in the U.S. Needless to say, plenty of politicians have been brought down because of personal indiscretions.
But the bigger question might be this: Should Spitzer be right? Should politics be solely about ideas and the public good?
I think I might make the distinction that governing (with a lower-case "g") is about ideas and the public good, but politics is about the individual. And it's politics that's much more likely to make headlines -- and to draw the most interest.

Lily bulbs from Hallson Gardens: We ship lily bulbs from late March to mid-May and again in October and November, however the spring and fall selection will vary. We can take orders in advance then ship when you are ready to plant that season and encourage you to order early for the best selection. We also sell potted lilies actively growing at the nursery, please contact us for pricing and availabiltiy. Sorry, we cannot ship potted plants.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you. Thank you for your interest in our nursery and our plants!
Happy 2015!
We are happy to bring you our 2015 online catalog and hope you enjoy the new items and continuing selection of hosta and perennial plants. Although spring shipping officially starts in April for us, it is time to get your orders in now to reserve your plants for when we are ready to ship or you are ready to plant. Dormant planting is best done while the plants are still dormant and your ground is workable and drains well. Up here in Michigan our dormant planting time is early April. Many of our plants can ship in April to mid-May and transplant just fine, so that is our bare root shipping window for perennials. Hostas and daylilies are warm season growers that can be shipped all summer long and into the fall but you will want to preorder now for shipping in April, May, or early June. Just let us know your preferred shipping time/week at checkout.
When you pre-order for spring we normally do not bill credit cards until the time of shipping. However, if you want to pay at the time you place your order use coupon code PAYNOW5 and we will take 5% off your plant total. This coupon is good until March 17th, 2015. If you don't use this coupon we will wait and bill your card when we ship your order.
Lily bulbs are now updated for spring and while we have scaled back the overall selection from past years we think you will find that it is a great selection including many new and upcoming varieties. Lily bulbs are shipped from late March to mid-May and are shipped from our lily coolers where they stay fresh until you are ready for the shipment.
Feel free to email us or call us toll free at 866-568-1474 with any questions and thank you very much for your continued support!
Sincerely yours, Chris Wilson and Brian Hall, Hallson Gardens

Any idea what this is?
jlscott01November 15, 2013
I know this is a bit out there, but I was watching an episode of Star Trek Voyager that had this tea cup in it. I was wondering if it could be identified, if it is an actual china piece?
Does anyone know what these are for? They are 3 inches square, silver and gold quadruple plate made by the Simpson Hall Miller Co. The set of 12 was sold by the Jaccard Jewelry Co in St Louis MO. The round indentation in the middle is about 1/2 inch deep.

Our Far-Flung Correspondent Brings Explosive Polish 1980s Sci-Fi to NYC
NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
The video of 2014's memorable "Remembering Roger" panel at Ebertfest.
"Qwerty" tells the love story of two lonely misfits who find hope with each other. One has been considering suicide. The other has been considering entering the national Scrabble championship. The movie is charming, winning and sweet. The performances are sort of lovable.
Dana Pupkin stars as Zoe, whose family vaguely recalls she might have had a boyfriend once. Eric Hailey is Marty, a security guard in a clothing store. They meet when Zoe is in the store, and Marty leaps on a table and starts shouting at the customers that the underwear is overpriced. "No ass is worth $55!" he advises them.
They have nothing in common with each other, or perhaps with anyone else. They lead protectively inward lives. He gives so little thought to his job that once he absentmindedly comes to work on his day off. She lives in a world of words and has a shelf full of dictionaries but has an uncanny way of always turning up at the Chicago Public Library's Scrabble Club meetings just as they're ending.
Zoe is alive and attractive, not that she knows it. Imagine a cuddly Sarah Silverman. Marty's hair may never have known a comb. He slouches about in an Army surplus jacket and has one of those situations where you can't tell if he's raising a beard or simply unshaven.
They begin to see each other. More accurately, they begin to be not alone while together. Like many new couples, they have a secret place they share. Theirs is out at the end of a forlorn breakwater pointing into Lake Michigan. This is during cold weather. Miraculously, their sex life is great.
The director Bill Sebastian and writer Juliet McDaniel find a nice balance in tones. Any tendency toward goofiness is undermined by the prevailing gloom. There's a scene where Zoe brings Marty home to meet her family from hell. True, Marty isn't super-presentable, even though he knows what a tie is, but the real problem is that Zoe believes her family hates her, and she's probably right.
Then we get to the Scrabble tournament. The movie spares us detailed information about letters, words and point totals. This is more of an exercise of character observation. In a sense, it's less significant whether Zoe wins than whether she gets there on time. There's a nice supporting performance by Joel Wiersema as Dirk, the supercilious defending champion. I also liked the way the referee intones, "Play … Scrabble!"
This is a small, good-hearted movie that knows where it wants to go and how to get there. It didn't bowl me over, but I was perfectly happy while watching it — not least because of the appeal of the leads. It's smoothly and competently made, and well-filmed by David Wagenaar. I can't resist observing that, like many films shot in Chicago, it has certain shots that seem to exist only because the city is so damned photogenic.
Director Bill Sebastian and actress Dana Pupkin will attend the film's local premiere at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Film Center, where it repeats at 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday.

Hi: 13° Lo:3°
By Chris Willmott 12/07 Updated: 17/07 15:58
CALLS are being made for a tunnel from Burton Green to Balsall Common to negate the impacts of HS2.
A meeting between key players in the opposition to the scheme locally, including MPs, councillors and campaign groups has led the call, with Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman MP (Meriden) and Jeremy Wright, MP for Kenilworth and Southam, promising to take the fight to Transport Secretary Justine Greening.
Solihull Council is also seeking 'urgent talks' with Ms Greening to press for 'specific design improvements to the HS2 scheme to minimise the impact for Solihull residents'.
The Council has set up a working party of senior councillors to take matters forward, receive representations and input from local communities and promote the interests of the borough.
Key improvements being sought include a tunnel through Balsall Common, Berkswell and Burton Green, a traffic impact study at the interchange station, review of options and formal consultation with the community in Hampton in Arden over the proposed viaduct, road diversions and bridge, realignment or a tunnel near Bluebell Recreation Ground in Chelmsley Wood and an overall review of the impact of the scheme across the borough.
Coun Ian Courts, Cabinet Member for Economic Development said: "We are seeking talks as a matter of urgency with the Secretary of State to press for these improvements.
"HS2 have held two cycles of Community Forums, but this process has not given us any assurances that the requested improvements can be delivered, and so we will now seek this from Government directly.
"Our Working Party will be vital in ensuring local concerns are heard and raised – it will ensure the Council can effectively promote the interests of the borough with HS2 Ltd and Government."
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman also lent her support to calls for a deep bore tunnel under the area from Burton Green to the north of Berkswell to mitigate the impact of HS2 on the local community.
"I am full square behind the proposals to mitigate HS2," she said.
"I have written to every parish council affected in my constituency to offer my help and support with mitigation and compensation for my constituents."

Adult dtr living at home with a baby
My dtr had moved out of the house then moved back after telling me she was pregnant last yr. She had a beautiful boy in April and they are still at home. She works full time but never saves a dime. I have told her she needed to be out by the end of this yr. She always ignores me when I try to talk about that. The biggest problem I have is that she refuses to keep her room clean or pick up her messes in the house. I am getting ready to sell the house and told her she needs to go before it goes on the market. She is going to have to move in with her dad by the end of the yr so really what's the difference in moving now vs in a month? I tried to talk to her again and she is just disrespectful. So yesterday I told her to get the room clean before work this morning or find a place to live tonight. She spouted off that I am throwing her and my grandbaby out on the streets and she will make sure I never see my grandbaby again if I do that.
I know she was mad and didn't really mean it, but I don't know what to do next. She is 22, not paying rent, not cleaning up after herself or the baby, doesn't offer to do any chores, and when I ask for help she always has something else to do instead. I can't possibly put this house up for sale with her living here. And I am not trying to throw her out on the streets. Her dad has room for her and said she could move in there temporarily.
She has really hurt me this time. What to do? Am I making this out to be a bigger deal than it should be? I am thinking she needs to go even though I will hate to see her leave.
No--I doubt you actually see how big a deal it is.
A 22 year old who is resorting to emotional blackmail now, will only get worse and worse, more demanding over the years.
My SIL was the same way with her parents--anything she wanted, she threatened to keep them away from their grandkids. They caved every time. I have no idea how many thousands and thousands of $$$ they lent (read 'gave' because the money was never paid back) her over the years. Cars, appliances, dr's bills, overdue household bills--they paid them all--and mind you, SIL's husband made a 3 figure salary and they lived in a small house in the cheapest area of town (WHERE was SIL's money going one might ask). Eventually, when she stressed her dad into an early grave, and got control of her mother's finances, she stole over a quarter of a million $$$ from the money left for MIL's end care--she had alzheimers at that point.
We ended up spending over $20,000 of our own money for legal fees, forensic accountant's fees to get the courts to appoint a guardian to take over MIL's finances.
Look, your daughter has all the earmarks my SIL was showing at that age. PLEASE stick to your guns. I'd recommend that it wouldn't hurt to sit down with a lawyer in the next week or two. Most reputable ones will offer a free initial consultation. I'm NOT suggesting you start legal action against your daughter, but you DO need to know what your rights are in this situation, what you'll have to do to get her out if she refuses to go, how long it will take, what are the legal rights of grandparents in your state, etc. Information is ALWAYS the best way to go. Arm yourself with it now, so you know what you have to do, and if you may need a lawyer down the road. Trust me on this--it's far better to ask question and get the answers BEFORE you need them, than to let a situation progress until it's in the critical stage--that can cost a LOT in both money and emotional stress.
I wish you the best--sounds as if you've got a tough road ahead.
Oh, and while you're about it, start keeping a journal about what your daughter is doing/not doing around the house and as a mother. Documentation may save you down the road.
"She works full time but never saves a dime. I have told her she needed to be out by the end of this yr. She always ignores me when I try to talk about that. The biggest problem I have is that she refuses to keep her room clean or pick up her messes in the house. I am getting ready to sell the house and told her she needs to go before it goes on the market."
It is good that she has her father to stay with. You have a house to sell. Don't let her screw that up.
Your daughter is taking advantage of you and knows it. The fact that she is working full time, using YOUR house, YOUR utilities, etc and not giving you a PENNY while she subjects you to such blatant disrespect would have me rectify this in a new-york-minute.
If this were me I'd call her father to let him know she will be coming to stay with him that night and have the locks changed while she is out. Don't tell her father or he will warn her. Let her find out the hard way when she calls you to say she can't get in. You can drop off the rest of her belongings later.
Explain calmly that you have fulfilled your parental obligation. You raised her to adulthood and now she is repaying your kindness with nothing positive and that you don't have to put up with it. Her father can. See how long that 'she can stay here temporarily' goes in his house. I'll bet not very long with her attitude.
Let her find out how kind you actually were by allowing her to live in your home scott free while treating you like a doormat.
If she is willing to change then say she needs to prove it and not just for a few days. Pay her father rent, show that she can keep her room at his house clean for at least 6 months before you will even consider letting her move back in. Have her put it in writing.
This is the age when she needs to know that she isn't that special. There are a million+ unwed mothers out there NOT calling the shots to those who ARE being responsible and carrying their share of the load.
Tough love has to start somewhere. Give her the chance to change elsewhere without turning your future upside down as well.

focal point ideas
Deviant and other talented people - I have this giant wedding party on Aug 11th and I'm trying as hard as I can to finish this project, including now reworking the darn walkway. The last thing I think I need is a focal point for the end of this side entrance to the back yard. I can't seem to figure out how to post more than one photo at a time - can someone help me with this? Here's the walkway as you enter the arbor gate and head towards the yard. This gravel path deadheads into a wide sunny area (used to shady until we removed the giant dead oak two months ago) and is currently planted with a nice, healty Oakleaf Hydrangea, Beauty Berry shrubs, Varigated Red Twig and Yellow Twig Dogwoodk bushes. I think I may need something that grabs the eye as you walk down this path. Beyond this open area on the left is my compost bin and firewood stacks, lots of shade, oaks, azaleas. I don't want to move that oakleaf but, I can move the twig dogwoods or a couple of beauty berry shrubs around if need be.
Posting additional pics is simply doing as you did the initial one. I usually skip a line between each picture address then copy & paste the additional address. Hope that helps.
If I should be so bold as to offer my thoughts regarding your area. As a focal point and useful area, I think the bend in the path could have the few bushes transplanted to another area to make way for a small table and chairs. What a lovely, lovely place to sit. You have enough planting that another one may just be lost. I know I would want to just linger in this area just that much longer, but that's me.
Other possibilities include a birdbath or an interesting trellis with some neat vines or a climbing rose.
The area to the left of the curve in the path seems to be the spot for a focal point. The container you have there is the right idea but being green it blends in with the other green things in the view.
You have a beautiful yard!
What a beautiful and peaceful pathway into your yard! I think it's lovely and welcoming. Having experienced my daughter's wedding in our backyard, I can sympathize with not only your desire to get everything "right" but also the time constraints you're facing with the event just one month away.
Rosiew is correct --- seeing the happy couple and being there to share the day is the most important thing for guests. The pathway you've created gently leads your guests into the yard. While there are interesting suggestions to change the area into a place for sitting or to create a trellised area, I suggest that you wait until after the wedding to decide if making changes in this part of the yard would match the kind of use you want for it. Besides, any new shrubs or perennials that you plant there would not have time to become lush enough for a visual impact.
I do agree with Karin that the planter itself is too "green" and blends in with the foliage. You might want to consider replacing it (if it can't be painted/color-washed) with a taller, brighter pot. We wanted tall planters to be placed on each side of the path where my daughter was to be married, but they were so expensive! On impulse we went to Ocean State Job Lot and found tall, unglazed pots that matched the pinkish stones in our path. Filled with upright and cascading annuals, these pots were spectacular --- plus very cheap.
Contrast is needed for a focal point, and white will really stand out -- like a bride's dress and veil. I agree, the garden could be perfect if you were to add something, but it's completely unnecessary for the success of the wedding. Suggestions: an ornate white tuteur hung with tendrils of a flowering vine; an elaborate white bench; a column topped with an exuberantly planted bowl. A few photos of focal points, none meant to be exactly what you need, just examples of focal points in other gardens.
I may not be grasping the intent of the area, but it seems to me you need a screen, not so much a focal point. Currently, the eye goes to your utility areas at the back and one wonders what is going on there. Your shrubs will eventually block that, but while they don't, that is where one looks.
In the meantime, I would put things of interest - special plants, special rocks, small gargoyles - close to the walkway to keep people's attention there rather than meandering off to the back corner.
The curve in the path seems to me to create an inherent urgency to proceed and see what is around there. so I don't see a need for a focal point here at all.
Karin L
Here is a link that might be useful: There are gargoyles, and then there is Doug the Troll...
I would not plant anything more but I would screen my work area back there and add some subtle bright and shiny garden art that would last beyond the wedding day itself. Here is what I have in my own backyard that would likely be appropriate. I've included a photo from a listing on Etsy because I don't any good pictures of my own mirror garlands. However, they are a real favourite of mine for the way they reflect the sun. Adding fairy lights in the tree canopy could make it even more magical.
That Green tarp is my next door neighbor's on his woodpile against his side of the fence which is why my husband chose to put OUR woodpile in the same location. I wish I could screen it, but I don't think I can grow anything in three weeks! Sorry for the misunderstanding but the wedding is not at our house - its the 60 person "couples shower" which is apparently the new thing for young people getting married. Gosh, that makes me sound old. Anyway, our birdbath actually started out there but its seems lost in this area. I'll try to take better photos of the space where this focal point is needed so you can see how much space I'm dealing with. I think it needs something much larger, but I'll bow the forum's opinions.
I agree with the need for a screen. I keep looking at the tarp. You could try to find some sort of fencing like bamboo (doesn't seem to go with the area), willow "wattle" I think it might be called (would go well here), small section of unfinished pickets? My compost area is behind a small picket fence (someone else's trash was my treasure).
I looked and looked at your picture and finally found the pot. So, yes, it is hard to see it. I think the idea of a few mirror or gazing balls on the ground, or a couple colorful pots, maybe all the same color or color family. They could be placed closer to the path and would draw the eye away from the tarp area.
I had my son's (small) wedding at my house and yard in June 2010. It was very stressful because I am a perfectionist for those type of things, but it turned out great. I bought new cushions for the porch furniture, new outdoor rugs (all inexpensive at Lowe's) and a few key pots and hanging baskets. It was all very lovely. I'm sure your event will be great too.
I agree about a screen - some kind of bamboo or woven wood screen might be nice. You could make a temporary screen with some of the roll up reed fencing. Then perhaps put a large urn or some kind of garden art in front of it.

A warm welcome to all regular visitors and to those of you who are new. If you are interested in spirituality, UFOs, healing, prayer, psychic powers, the New Age, or anything to do with personal development, I hope you will find something of interest on this site, which was superbly put together by The Aetherius Society's design team at the European Headquarters.
I discovered The Aetherius Society in 1971, while I was a student at Hull University, answering many of my searching questions. I later met the Society's Founder/President, Dr George King, who was an outstanding teacher, Master of Yoga and channel for advanced Beings from this world and beyond.
In 1996 I was invited by Dr King to co-author the last book he published in his lifetime, Contacts with the Gods from Space. Of all the books I have written, this one will always be special to me, because I wrote it with him while he was still among us. Years later I realised that it could have been called Contacts with a God from Space, because that's what he is.
Last year we launched a new edition of this book with very successful events in Sheffield and London.
More and more people are looking within for answers. They are also finding that there are many like-minded people all over the world searching for Truth.
I thoroughly recommend you to investigate the Society by visiting its international website www.aetherius.org.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, which I hope you find informative and enjoyable.
If you have any questions or would like further information, you can contact us at email@example.com.
Into this maelstrom of philosophical change stepped Dr George King. Born on January 23rd, 1919, he was to combine a mastery of the mystical and yogic sciences, which he had attained by a highly disciplined regime of intense practice in the ten years after the Second World War, with a unique series of close encounters with extraterrestrial sources spanning over 40 years. In his person, this movement of ancient knowledge from east to west and from secret ashrams to modern bookshops, was to take on a new, cosmic dimension.
Contacts with the Gods from Space
Preparing for Aetherius Radio Live broadcast on Solar Existence (aired on 18 November 2014), Richard was inspired to write the following poem:
When you breathe it is the air,
When you walk it is the ground,
When you eat it is the food,
When you hear it is the sound.
When you speak it is the thought,
When you love it is the power,
When you dream it is the light,
When you change it is the hour.
When you move it moves through you,
All you are and all you feel.
When you live it lives in you -
It is the Sun and it is real.

Fluorescence Line-Narrowing Spectroscopy as an Off-Line Identification Method for Narrow-Bore Column Liquid Chromatography
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 48, Issue 7, pp. 788-795 (1994)
Acrobat PDF (907 KB)
Storage of the effluent from a column liquid chromatograph (LC) on a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate was utilized to identify analytes with fluorimetric techniques in the absence of time constraints. As an example, the deposited LC trace of an impure 1-chloropyrene sample was studied in situ by conventional excitation/emission spectroscopy and by fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy, a high-resolution laser-induced fluorescence technique requiring cryogenic conditions. Pyrene and several mono-, di-, and trichlorinated pyrenes, present in the 1-chloropyrene sample, were identified with the use of the fingerprint structure of the vibrationally resolved FLN spectra. Quantitation on the basis of the FLN signals was achieved by standard addition; compounds could be detected down to the low picogram level. Various TLC materials were used to study the influence of the matrix on the FLN spectra; although peak intensities and hole burning effects are matrix-dependent, the line positions are not influenced.

Loistava palveluPosted Jul 2, 2014 on Hotels.com
Sydämellinen palvelu, hotelli hyvällä paikalla ihan Trevin vieressä. Siistit huoneet ja kiva pieni terassi, jossa syödä aamupalaa. Hintaansa nähden siis oikein toimiva setti!

Nicest StaffPosted Jun 12, 2014 on Hotels.com
I never write reviews but they were so friendly and really made me feel at home. The location couldn't be any better. You are surrounded by sights, shopping and dinning. The room wasn't like a 5 star hotel but service was above and beyond 5 star. If you are looking for a great location with the friendliest staff I would definitely suggest this place.

Generally satisfiedPosted Feb 17, 2014 on Hotels.com
A very nice hotel at a very nice position. Only mishaps is the internet that does not cover all the hotel area. So you cannot lay in the bed online, but have to go closer to the door to get connection.

Great location by the Trevi FountainPosted Oct 28, 2013
Pros: This hotel is a great location to see the area around the Trevi Fountain. It is literally 2 minutes to the fountain from the hotel.
Cons: Our room listed free wireless internet, but there was no internet in the room as it did not have strength to get there.
Location: Trevi Fountain, Collesium, Presidents Palace

No two people share the same lifestyle in the world!
Therefore, any response you get may be relatable or it may have zippo to do with your predicament. Diet is simply one variable and, in my opinion, as long as you don't eat a ton of processed food and maintain a "reasonably" intelligent diet, it would give you as good a chance as any of fulfilling your goals, "carb or no carb". The fact that your movement is limited due to the foot injury is the most telling reason why you're yo-yoing. Bar none, Daily Activity is far more critical than any other lifestyle factor in determining improved health outcomes. Note, I didn't say "exercise"; I said "daily activity". You've got to increase activity.View Thread
Start with, what shouldn't you eat, first, because it addresses the most important issue: Denial
If you truly wish to lose weight, start with being honest with yourself. Everyone knows (or at least has strong suspicions) what's bad for you.View Thread

Not only are avocados (oranges, apples, tomatoes) great for your insides, they're superb for your skin, too. My friend is an Esthetician and she makes a very good living. So, I asked her, what's the point of spending so much money on skin care products, massages and facials, if you don't eat healthy? Her answer: "To be honest, my business relies on clients who don't understand the relationship between diet & exercise and skin quality..."
All movie stars pay their personal dietitians $000's to tell them to eat the same meals to get in shape:
1. Breakfast Burritos with fresh eggs, fresh salsa & fresh guacamole
2. Vietnamese Spring Rolls
3. Fresh Fish
I feel safe telling people this secret because the average person is far too lazy to bother making fresh salsa and guacamole and if you're going to cheat and use the store bought stuff you might as well pull into a Taco Bell or Del Taco...

Cleaning Up After Gardening
Maybe this is "an age old question" that has no good answer, but how does everyone clean the dirt from their finger nails.
I seem to spend an extra ten minutes in the shower slowly trying to scrape the dirt away. It just seems like a waste of water and time to me. Does anyone have a quick solution? I'd love to hear it before my job interview coming up in two weeks.
Lava soap and a nail scrub brush.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nail brush
just returned from CVS to buy a nail brush, sole purpose of visit, so LOL when I saw this, I found it really hard to find one and then it was $3.99! gasp! that is the first thing apart from veggies, which I have found more expensive than the UK, so maybe I will shut up about it :-)
another good use of an old one is for gently cleaning the soil off carrots and potatoes so you will get double bubble on your investment.
for a job interview, I would have a manicure those people are amazing and yes men can go in, just don't chose red as it might send the wrong signals LOL. good luck with the interview.
Before going to the garden, I drag my nails across a bar of Ivory soap. The soap lodges under my nails, and when I wash up, the soap and any dirt goes away. I suppose almost any bar soap would work, but I always have Ivory on hand to make insecticidal soap, so I use it.
Good luck on your job interview. If you have a little dirt under your fingernails, it proves you are a hard worker!
I keep my nails extremely short in the gardening season.
To get them clean is a lot easier, that way.
I use an old toothbrush & wash my hands with Boraxo powdered hand soap. It comes in a shaker can & is getting VERY hard to find.
One doesn't need to use much of it to get the hands squeaky clean.
I've gotten a few mechanics to use it. Their wives are happy, happy. LOL!
If the dirt isn't very stubborn, I run the water pretty hard and hold my fingers cupped under the stream so the nails are pointed upward and the water blasts the dirt out from under the nails. That gets rid of most of it.
But I've learned that if I don't want to deal with it, to wear gloves, rubber or gardening ones.
Fuller makes a great fingernail brush. Link below.
BTW, remind me never to eat cole slaw at organicislandfarmer's house!
Here is a link that might be useful: Fuller nail brush
Lee Valley Tools sells surgeon's hand/nail brushes. I bought a dozen. They're great.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nail Brushes
I use a nail brush with the peroxide toothpaste to get them super white and clean.
There are heavy hand cremes like "O'Keeffe's Working Hands" that you can apply before going out in the garden. Make sure you've got it under the nails.
It is easier to wash the dirt out later.
Here's wishing you the Best of Luck!
Steve's digits
peroxide toothpaste . . . !?
Heavy duty water proof gardening gloves for heavy duty gardening work. Sometimes I start working with dirt without planning, and sometimes the gloves broke. So I keep a jar of old Vaseline with my scissors, and try to remember to swipe vaseline under and around all my nails before I go to the garden. With vaseline, clean up is much easier. If the black dirt (compost) really stained my nails, I soak them for a few minutes in a bowl of water with some vinegar or lemon juice, then brush.
I also use this old vaseline around the garden (as barrier for ants, etc, or sometimes on my tools).
LOL, I use the jet setting on my hose nozzle too!
I also have something like these gloves:
I call them my scrubby gloves, but they're not for gardening, they're for the shower. I slip them on, put some body wash (AKA soap) onto each glove, scrub away at myself, and by the time the body is clean, the hands are too from the exfoliation inside the glove. Neat!
My sister-in-law noted that soil that has a lot of organic material in it isn't as 'dirty' as the native soil.
My nails look a bit hammered right now. I've been making new garden bed and the clay soil sticks to my hands. I dig my nails into a bar of soap when I start showering to jam some soap underneath them. They come pretty clean by the end of my shower.
This works for me to get the ground in dirt from the wrists & hands as well as knees or feet in the summer. I usually wear gloves, but my wrists and forearms can get quite dirty if it's a wet day.
homemade sugar scrub made with brown sugar & baby oil enough to make a paste
Kept in a container with a spoon or popsicle stick near the bathroom or laundry sink. Scoop, scrub well (no water turned on yet), add some water, scrub more, pull up sink stopper, add your choice of hand soap scrub, dip in water, scrub & rinse. Soak if needed in tub & scrub more.
Hands will be softer & smoother as the dry skin is removed.

Fat & Happy Natural Wood Buddha Statue 24" Item # bw34
Price: $290
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I bought a unique, one-of-a-kind statue from Lotus Sculpture which depict Krishna sitting sideways on a cow and playing his flute, while the cow has twisted her neck around so she can gaze up at him with loving eyes. It depicts a very touching moment. The cow's posture shows such love and devotion. I've never seen anything like it. The artistic balance between Krishna and the cow is wonderful, and Krishna is very well done, with a slight smile on his face as he plays his flute. It's the most remarkable statue of Krishna I've ever seen. In addition, the shipment was extremely prompt and a proper statement of value accompanied the statue. This has been a very good experience with Lotus Sculpture. --Maris WhitakerReviewer:Maris Whitaker (Boulder, Colorado, US)
Purchased a 19" painted Ganesha. It arrived last week and it is better than expected. It was very well packed. The colors are vibrant and the hues are perfect. I was afraid they might be garish in hand, but those fears were completely unfounded. Beautiful color palette. The carving is well detailed. It is a very handsome piece. I couldn't be happier with it In fact, I was so happy that I just finished purchasing a 36" painted Garuda. Once I saw the quality of the Ganesh I felt confident in purchasing a more expensive piece. And eagerly awaiting its arrival. Had I the money and the room, I would be in trouble.Reviewer:mark drazak (Cromwell, Connecticut, US)
A wonderful, efficient streamlined purchasing system at Lotus Sculpture. The sculpture purchased is in perfect condition and is quite beautiful.Reviewer:Madhurika (, Herts, GB)
This is the first time I bought a statue from Lotus Sculpture. It arrived the next day. Well packaged. It is a beautiful Ganesh hand made wooden statue. Suggestion: it would be nice if you could list on your website if the statues you get from India involve fair trade and fair labor. I am already looking on the website for my next purchase. Thank you for the great experience and importantly for making these beautiful pieces of art available for purchase in the US.Reviewer:Varun Khanna (Los Angeles, CA, US)
I've known about Lotus Sculpture from Hinduism Today magazine and from the testimonies of friends. His site is first rate and exhaustively documented with beautiful photographs, dimensions and descriptions. I appreciate the breadth of sculptures available be they of museum quality, bronzes or brasses, or as in my case, resin volcanic stone suitable for extreme weather and a more modest budget. It was a relief to know that I was going to be pleased when I opened the box to see professional grade rigid foam packing surrounding a thing of beauty.Reviewer:Nandi (oysterville, wa, US)
Excellent arrival time, packaging, quality of statue.Reviewer:Jennifer Metzger (Hatfield, MA, US)
I recieved my stone resin Buddha and I am pleased with the product. Its much heavier and more solid than what I thought it would be. I wasnt wanting a flimsy, easily breakable statue. Thanks.Reviewer:Rob (sheridan, wy, US)
I love the Nataraja . LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT POSE STATUES OF LORD SHIVA .Please let me know.Reviewer:Manjula (Ellicott City, MD, US)
the mouse is great says my daughter in little rock Arkansas for whom it was a birthday present. 4 stars instead of 5 because it did not arrive on the 24 feb as expected but on the 26. probably due to the bad weather in Arkansas, but still it was a bit of a disappointment. but I certainly will trade with you again! thanks janeReviewer:jane wolfe (woodstock, Vermont, US)
- Materials: Hand Carved Indonesian Suar Wood
- Total Height Including Base: 24 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 13 x 6 inches
- Weight: 30 pounds
- Encourage wealth into your life!
- Join him in a dance of prosperity
- A small child joins him in joyous happiness
- Sees the beauty of the world
The Fat, laughing Buddha, also known as the Buddha of Wealth, is joyfully dancing on a large sack of gold. Over his shoulder is a stick with another small bag of gold. There is a small child huddled over his shoulder with a warm smile much like that of the Buddha. Another small child is playing by the left foot of Buddha. The Buddha of wealth is a natural for all children to love as he is childlike in his own way, seeing the beauty of the world and rejoicing in it! This statue is perfect for those with newborns as they can be inspired by the joy of the Buddha as well as for those wishing to become pregnant.
About Fat & Happy Buddha
In sculpture the Laughing Buddha is depicted with a large, exposed belly carrying a hemp sack, which is filled with gold, health and happiness. Buddhists do not see wealth as being only material but spiritual wealth as well. Both his belly and the large sack convey this concept of abundance.
The laughing Buddha of Wealth is always depicted in a relaxing posture, exuding happiness to all who are near Him. His smile and jovial nature is infectious, reminding you that there is more to life than just worldly possessions. His large Belly is always bursting out of his robes. Sometimes he wears red colored robes that represent good fortune and blessings.
He usually carries a gold ingot (sycee) or a small hemp sack in his hand. He sits or stands upon a hemp sack of wealth under him. Around his neck, he wears auspicious mala beads as well as a large, round medallion that bring blessings to the surrounding. He sometimes holds a stick known as a wish stick, which he uses to grant people boons. Many people believe that rubbing his belly will grant anyone their wish.
He is often seen surrounded by children or carrying children on his back. Children naturally flock to him, not just because he gives them candy but because his joyous nature is so childlike that they see him as an equal. Some people believe a statue of the laughing Buddha is good to have around newborns as well as those wanting to have children.
Wood statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. All the wood used by Lotus Sculpure's artists is dried out for months. Moisture causes cracks in the sculpture as the wood contracts and expands in different temperatures. Our wood has little to no moisture in it assuring that the sculpture is not going to crack in its journey into different climates. Here are some simple tips to keep your statue in good condition:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a natural wood cleaner and a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
We recommend keeping wooden statues in an indoor environment. Wood statues can go outside however, they will wear more quickly and develop an antique appearance. If you would like to put a wood statue from Lotus Sculpture outside and keep the same appearance of the sculpture we would recommend first coating the statue with a couple of layers of sealant or polyurethane. We would then recommend placing the statue in a partially covered area. The more exposure to the elements the more the statue will wear over time. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions regarding your wooden statue from Lotus Sculpture, (760) 994-4455 or [email protected]
