Sealing IPE decks
I am planning on sealing the cut ends of IPE with anchor seal, however I have mixed opinions of sealing the tops of the deck boards. I would like to maintain the rich dark color of ipe and rather not let it weather grey. I have heard stories of the IPE didn't absorb the seal and people having huge hassles sanding the deck afterwards.
I have also heard products like Penofin and Mesmers work great. any experience out there?
* Make sure you use a stain made for Ipe. Ipe is a dense material that does not take regular stain well. Make sure the stain contains UV protection for maximum protection. Apply with a stain pad or brush. Make sure you remove excess material after 15 minutes (may show up as shiny pools of liquid)
* Sand with 50 or 60 grit rotary palm sander on any bad spots prior to staining
* If you have lots of plugs, consider using a multimaster to cut plugs before sanding (an excuse to buy a new tool) otherwise a belt sander/palm sander works fine
* If you need to clean up an old finish or want to restore the original color, you need to use a mild stripper followed up by an oxalic acid (sometimes called brightener). Woodrich and Sunbrite sell materials for this that are relatively inexpensive.
* Recommended stain manufactures by members of the Gardenweb forum include:
o Penofin (apply in the afternoon, hot sunny days can be challenging)
o www.woodrich-brand.com similar to TWP Update: Woodrich now sells samples for $10. http://www.woodrich-brand.com/Samlpe_Color_Kit_p/samp1.htm
o TWP (buy the 100 series version vs. 500 series if available) Note: TWP is apparently not recommended by the manufacture for Ipe but some of the Gardenweb pros swear by it
o Messeners UV
Here is a link that might be useful: Ipe Information
I, too, am getting ready to seal my new Ipe deck. I want to use TWP, but am concerned about the night time temp here in MA dropping a little below 50. Daytime temps will be well above for the next few weeks. I've called the manufacturer, but am waiting for technical support to get back to me. Any thoughts on this?
Much thanks,
Not to threadjack, but I'm having IPE deck built and thought the responses would be relevant here as well. I am planning on using Woodrich (TWP like stuff) so here go teh questions:
1. WoodTux and Hardwood Wiping Stain are teh same thing, just different packaging?
2. Should the wood season for 3 to 6 months before sealing. I have read differing opinions on sealing right away or letting the IPE season so it opens up the pores and absorbs more.
3. Steps before staining. Does new wood need to be sanded, cleaned and brightened before staining and in what order?
The woodrich Folks modled their product on twp they are not the same, but close - the voc.
Do not wait for anything but good weather to put the finish on an outdoor project including ipe decking.
Clean the decking up and sand where needed there is no actuall need to use an oxalic wash on a new project. J.
How should I apply the sealer on the deck if I apply it on the whole deck and wait 15 minutes to wipe it off I am going to have to walk over parts of the deck that I just wiped. Or do I do it sections at a time where I don't need to walk on it.
get a deck staining pad from your local hardware store and a little pole to connect it. stain the deck. follow up by starting at one side with a rag and work backwards. You will wipe where you were standing. Be careful with the residual rags. You can soak them in water and then toss them.

Emmetts Garden
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Interesting hillside garden with year-round features
Charming Emmetts Garden is an Edwardian estate that was owned by Frederic Lubbock, becoming both a plantsman's passion and a much-loved family home.
The garden was laid out in the late 19th century, and was influenced by William Robinson. It contains many exotic and rare trees and shrubs from across the world.
Standing on one of the highest spots in Kent, Emmetts Garden offers panormaic views over the unspoilt Weald as well as some great walking opportunities.
When you visit, you can explore the rose and rock gardens, take in the views and enjoy shows of spring flowers and shrubs, followed by vibrant autumn colours.
Spring is here
Now that Emmetts Garden is open again how about to visit to blow away the cobwebs? Come and see our snowdrops and crocuses and then come back a bit later for our daffodils. Everything is looking so fresh and invigorating right now so it's the perfect way to spend a walk and see some seasonal colour like our early camellias. The countdown has officially started for the bluebells that carpet the woodlands around from May.

Digital data storage is one of the under-exposed (pun intended) topics of digital media. It's not news that magnetic media will suffer dropouts. It happened with tape, and it can happen with hard drives. Usually, I hear of hard drives dying due to other issues, bad sectors, etc, but there is a solution, and it takes a bit of planning.
I have 2 copies of everything, on-site and off, that I constantly migrate forward onto new hardware every year. No, I don't sample every file to ensure that there is no corruption loss, but I do sample a meaningful percentage.
So, I budget an extra $1k every year for storage, and I update the media with newer, usually larger, devices (hard drives currently). I don't use or rely on cloud services, because really, I have almost 2tb of data and that will just never make it to or from any cloud service without additional costs.
I'd rather have digital color stored correctly than forcing myself to only shoot black and white film. (Note, I still shoot a lot of 4x5 C-41).

Worst club I've ever, ever visited: a daily-rate visit (NOT a client!) one evening when I was on business in California – truly shabby.
Missing baseboards, peeling paint, old creaky equipment, treadmill rows only 18" apart, weight benches that extended into the path of selectorized equipment (yes, you would be hit), bad ventilation, dark parking lot. The Health Club from Hell.
Best club I've ever visited: the Verandah at the Hilton Anatole here in Dallas. Really nice facility, with a rubberized outdoor running path (not really a track) through a private park.
N-i-i-i-i-i-c-e. Also pricey, of course.
Most unusual feature I've ever seen at a health club: an outdoor fireplace!

Introduction 1.1 This protocol is derived from Plymouth's teaching Primary Care Trust (tPCT) protocol for Serious Untoward Incidents, adapted for use by local Drug and Alcohol Services, as part of the governance arrangements established by Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT). The protocol is additional to each service's internal Incident Reporting Protocol, and will form part of the regular portfolio of reports by DAAT to the Strategic Health Authority and tPCT Chief Executive and Board, via the tPCT Clinical & Corporate Governance Committee, as required by the National Treatment Agency (NTA) and the Healthcare Commission. 1.2 The DAAT, as the commissioning agency for local drug & alcohol services, and provider agencies, are keen to learn from incidents and will conduct internal reviews when indicated, with the assistance of the tPCT governance team, to ensure that any changes in practice and procedures required are implemented. 1.3 As the Strategic Health Authority (SHA) draft guidance states: "There is no single definition of a serious untoward incident but, in general terms, is something out of the ordinary or unexpected …." 1.4 Whilst it is not possible to cover all types of incidents, examples of situations for which this protocol is appropriate include: 1.4.1 Any incident involving serious harm or potentially serious harm to a service user, service users or the public… 1.4.2 Any incident involving national or extensive local media interest… 1.4.3 Any incident involving serious implications for service user or staff safety… 1.4.4 Any incident involving serious compromises or allegations of serious compromises… 1.4.5 The above list is not exhaustive …… the underlying request is……. 'No surprises' 1.5 Where directors or managers believe an incident does fall within one of the above categories they should discuss this with the DAAT's Clinical & Service Governance Manager, or if not available, the tPCT's Risk Manager, to agree a way forward. 5 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 DAAT office: 01752 515478 tPCT Risk Manager/tPCT Governance Office: 01752 314169 1.6 The overriding emphasis of all incident reporting and investigation is to learn from these events, not to attribute individual blame or to punish. This approach will enable services to concentrate on learning and improving systems and processes to manage risk more effectively. 2. Responsibilities 2.1 The DAAT is responsible for: 2.1.1 Establishing this protocol across all locally commissioned drug and alcohol services, and ensuring annual review. 2.1.2 Providing advice and assistance to Service Directors or Deputies, senior practitioners, and managers regarding the application of the procedure, in collaboration with the tPCT Governance Team. 2.1.3 Assisting the tPCT's Chief executive with reporting requirements to the Strategic Health Authority (SHA), and other external stakeholders, and providing regular reports to the PCT Board via the tPCT Clinical & Corporate Governance Committee, and to the Healthcare Commission, in collaboration with the tPCT Governance Team. 2.1.4 Advising the Chief Executive of the tPCT, with notification to the Board, regarding incidents that may attract public attention, in collaboration with the tPCT Governance Team and relevant Service Director. 2.1.5 Monitoring the application of the procedure and advising the Chief Executive and Board of the tPCT of any required changes. 2.1.6 Co-ordinating the reviews, investigations and independent inquiries into the incident(s) and liasing with the SHA, to feedback any lessons learned to Service Director (or Deputy), in collaboration with the tPCT Governance team 2.2 Service Director (or Deputy) and managers are responsible for: 2.2.1 Ensuring that the DAAT office is formally notified of all serious untoward incidents, within one working day. (Tel: 01752 515478) 2.2.2 Ensuring this procedure is implemented and followed effectively within their service(s) by all staff, volunteers, and trainees. 2.2.3 Ensuring all staff of the service are aware of this protocol and their responsibilities within it. 6 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 2.2.4 Ensuring sufficient numbers of staff receive incident investigation training. 2.2.5 Advising the Chair of the service's Board of Trustees regarding incidents that are of concern or may attract public attention. 2.2.6 Monitoring the application of the procedure and advising the Chair of the service's Board of Trustees any difficulties. 2.3 Senior Managers and Team Leaders are responsible for: 2.3.1 Ensuring this policy is followed. 2.3.2 Contacting their Service Director (or Deputy), as soon as practicable during that working day, depending on the circumstances of the incident. 2.3.3 In the event of a homicide, suicide or other event that may cause public interest, the Service Director (or Deputy) and the DAAT team must be informed within one working day. The Clinical & Service Governance Manager of the DAAT, and the Service Director (or Deputy) can assist in defining such incidents and, in conjunction with the Chief Executive of the tPCT, will identify persons to form the Internal Review Team, which includes external representation to ensure service objectivity and independence. 2.3.4 The Senior Manager is responsible for undertaking the immediate investigation and must assume responsibility for the retention and collection of all records, statements and other documents pertaining to the incident. All relevant original records must be sent without delay to the DAAT office for copying along with the original incident form. The original documents will be returned to the service as quickly as possible. Original documents may be requested for the first review. 2.3.5 Ensuring the immediate well being of service user(s), staff or others including contacting, as necessary, the emergency services. 2.3.6 Making sure a contemporaneous record of events is maintained and, at the earliest opportunity on that working day, preparing an internal accident/incident form. 2.3.7 Assisting in any critical incident investigation. 2.3.8 Ensuring that lessons learned are identified and applied to their service. 7 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 2.4 Staff at service level will normally be those who first become aware of a serious untoward incident. These staff will be responsible for: 2.4.1 Reporting the incident immediately to their Manager, or Service Director (or Deputy). 2.4.2 Responding to the immediate needs to those harmed as a result of the incident, and taking steps to prevent further harm. 2.4.3 Preserving the scene and retaining equipment, records and other materials relevant to the incident, whenever possible. 2.4.4 Co-operation with detailed investigations may be required, using root cause analysis tools and techniques. 2.4.5 Ensuring changes to practice are introduced as a result of lessons learned. 2.5 The Senior Manager will make available the following key information to the Service Director (or Deputy) and DAAT team: 2.5.1 Description of incident 2.5.2 Where incident occurred 2.5.3 Details of service users affected by incident – name, age and any relevant diagnosis, or presenting problems (including any known risk issues). 2.5.4 Details of staff affected by incident – name, position and next of kin, injuries 2.5.5 Action already taken, including contacts made and times 2.5.6 Information already given to service users/families/staff 2.5.7 Whereabouts of key staff 2.5.8 Any concerns for the service that are known at this point in time. 2.5.9 Whether this incident may be of interest to the media. 2.5.10 In any case of suicide, or homicide, or other serious untoward incident, the person contacted will appraise the DAAT's Clinical & Service Governance Manager or tPCT Risk Manager of the incident as soon as reasonably practicable. 2.5.11 Complete Appendix A Immediate Notification Of A Serious Untoward Incident within 1 working day of the incident being 8 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 identified. This form should be sent simultaneously by e-mail to the 3 addresses below: 1. email@example.com 2. email@example.com 3. firstname.lastname@example.com (for information) 2.5.12 On receipt of this e-mail, the Risk Manager of the tPCT, and the DAAT will arrange notification to the SHA as required. 2.5.13 A checklist is available at Appendix B 2.6 Information to Service users and Public 2.6.1 The Service Director (or Deputy) will need to decide, following discussion with the DAAT officers and the tPCT Chief Executive and Communications Manager, the level of information that may be made available to service users, relatives and the public who, in turn, will be briefed as agreed. 2.7 Approaches from the Media 2.7.1 Service users or relatives and staff should, if possible, be briefed before the media. Any direct approaches from the media should be dealt with courteously along the following lines: 2.7.2 "I am sorry I am not in a position to comment at the present time but if you would like further information please contact our Service Director (or Deputy) (and offer a telephone number)." 3. Immediate Investigation and Follow Up (within 2 working days) 3. 1 For each serious untoward incident, there will be an investigation and rapid review as soon as reasonably practicable, involving relevant practitioners and staff, and usually led by the Service Director (or Deputy). The investigation team will usually include the following: • Service Director (or Deputy) • DAAT Clinical & Service Governance Manager • Team manager from the area of incident • Member of the Specialist Medical Team, and/or relevant GP (if clinical issues are involved) • tPCT Risk Manager, or member of the tPCT Governance Team (if appropriate e.g. Mental Health Services involvement) 9 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 This will include situations where the reported death comes via another source some time after the incident, for example, the Coroner. 3.1.2 This review must include: • Description of incident • Details of service user(s) affected by incidents (name- age- any diagnosis or relevant problems, and any known risk) • Details of staff involved and where based • Debrief if incident involved staff on duty at the time • Action already taken including dates and times and any actions agreed with Service Director (or Deputy) and DAAT Clinical & Service governance Manager • Short background history of service user • Chronology of events of incident, including lead up and consequence • View of staff involved (this is also the opportunity to debrief the staff when the incident is reported after the event - for example the death of a client in the community) Outcomes • Possible concerns for service area • Any obvious learning points • Recommendations 3.1.3 This information must be provided in the form of a report and sent to the DAAT within 3 working days. This information will provide the background to the full internal review team if required. 3.1.4 An anonymised (summary) report must also be sent to the tPCT Clinical & Corporate Governance Committee by the DAAT for shared learning. 3.2 Secure Information/Equipment 3.2.1 In all cases where the SUI process is followed, ALL relevant health and social care records must be secured and, when appropriate, a copy made and sent to the DAAT Office, unless the Coroner's officer or police have taken these away in the course of their investigation. In this case copies must have been made and retained by the Service, with a FULL copy sent to the DAAT office. Any items of equipment involved in the incident must be retained. 3.3 Debriefing of Staff 3.3.1 Whilst investigation of the incident is on-going, staff should be regularly appraised of the situation. The appropriate Senior Manager should be available with the Service Director (or Deputy) to debrief staff. Counselling may be necessary for some staff, after the incident. 10 of 23 Serious Untoward Incidents Protocol for Plymouth's Drug and Alcohol Services v1:3 4. Serious Untoward Incidents Involving Children 4.1 Where abuse or neglect are known or suspected to be a factor in the death or serious injury to a child, the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) will consider the need to undertake a serious case review, as defined under Part 8 of "Working Together". The tPCT Chief Executive will be informed by the Chair of the LSCB Serious Case Review Committee that a Serious Case Review is to be undertaken. The named nurse for child protection will have the lead responsibility within the tPCT to undertake the agency's individual management review and action plan, which will be reported back to LSCB. Although the process, after an incident involving a child, will be tracked through the Risk Management Group, the reporting will follow part 8, as defined in the Multi-agency Child Protection Procedures January 2005, pages 92 to 99. 5. Serious Untoward Incidents – Internal Review 5.1 Where a SUI is reported, the Service Director (or Deputy) and DAAT, in conjunction with the tPCT Risk Management Department, will decide whether a formal review is required, and will take other advice, as necessary. 5.2 Where other organisations are involved, the tPCT Chief Executive and relevant Service Director (or Deputy) will ensure access to relevant practitioners, managers, records and any other relevant material, as sensitively and collaboratively as circumstances permit. 5.3 Internal Reviews should be established promptly – although, where court proceedings in relation to the incident have started – or are likely to – legal advice should be sought with a view to ensuring that the review does not prejudice those proceedings. Internal Reviews will also need to take account of any coroner's inquest – although awaiting the outcome is not an option. 6.

Uh Huh Her is an electro pop band from Los Angeles, CA.
Their story begins 10 years ago, when matt brown and anna-lynne williams were teenagers growing up in Southern California, met through mutual friends and began working together to create what would eventually become, with the help of ross simonini and drummer jamie williams, the distinct sound of trespassers william.
trespassers william became a presence in the North American music scene when their second studio album, different stars, was re-released by Nettwerk Music Group worldwide in 2004. Called "Gently mesmerizing...haunting" by NME, different stars hinted at influences of ambient, folk and shoegaze, and established the band as subtle nuanced songwriters.
Tiesto is an electronica artist from Amsterdam, NL.
The Tear Garden is a psychedelic/gothic/electronic band, formed by Edward Ka-Spel of The Legendary Pink Dots and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy in 1985 after Key served Ka-Spel on tour in Canada as a sound engineer. The Tear Garden was released that same year, with Dave Ogilvie producing.
The group reconvened in 1987 to release Tired Eyes Slowly Burning with contributions from the other members of Skinny Puppy to a limited degree of success. Members of the Legendary Pink Dots would henceforth contribute to Tear Garden and in 1992 they released the full-length album Last Man to Fly. Another EP, Sheila Liked The Rodeo, much of which was live studio improvisation was accompanied by a video (directed by William Morrison) of the title track in 1993.
First impressions can be deceiving. A quick glance at the title of Vancouver's Rose Chronicles' new disc Happily Ever After might generate images of softness and safety. Add to that equation the sweet soprano created by vocalist Kristy Thirsk, surround her with the lushness of Richard Maranda's ethereal guitar wizardry and the textured allure is obvious. But the true beauty to Happily Ever After exists within the disc's many layers; from the driving rhythms of the opener, "Bruise" to its emotionally-charged closing track "Lovely Psycho", Happily Ever After overflows with trademark Chronicle touches: soaring melodies, lyrical catharsis and epic soundscapes.

Spam filter revised
Thursday, September 19 2013, 20:53
It's been well over two years since I last maintained my blog, and spam had gotten the better of it. I rigorously reviewed my Naive Bayes implementation, and sure enough, spotted some bugs.
Now that the positive spam classifier is reset, all comments should trigger a Turing code challenge, which with some additional complexity now hopefully further discriminates humans from malicious web-crawling bots.
While back in 2005 it was fun and challenging to write my own spam filter, the open source community has since truly opened up, with magnitudes of great implementations. Now I just have my fingers crossed that my simple classifier dismays most of those spammers.

Guest Lists
Patrick Wolf
By Patrick Wolf , April 20, 2007
Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's Guest List. Each week, we ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up to lately: which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour. This week it's Patrick Wolf, who recalls stumbling upon a gypsy concert in a Hackney warehouse, discusses his favorite exotic BBC weather report, and explains exactly what a virginal is.
>> Favorite New Songs of the Past Year
No Bra: "Do Her Fuck Her"
It's a really great song. Almost industrial German music, but really great, an amazing sense of humor and really-- it's a friend of mine, Susanne, from No Bra. Really great music.
Bishi: "Namaste"
That's actually a song I helped produce a long time ago; it's part of her album Nights at the Circus . It's a very beautiful song about the death of her grandfather. She's somebody that you'll be seeing a lot of in the next couple of years, for sure. She's kind of an up and coming pop star in England.
>> Favorite Older Songs at the Moment
I've been listening to a lot of Elizabethan renaissance music again. It's kind of my inspiration at the moment. And the greatest would be...
Henry Purcell: The Death of Queen Mary
It's a funeral march for the death of Queen Mary. It's like six different funeral marches; I've been listening a lot to that recently.
Osvaldo Golijov: Ayre
He's actually a very recent composer, which is great, he has done an album called Ayre , which is very amazing, using a lot of electronics, but it's like a big, kind of Hungarian opera, but using lots of very progressive electronic elements. It's very inventive, a lot more inventive than a lot of so-called IDM music.
>> Favorite New Band
I've just fallen in love in the last couple of days with her work. She's great. I love "Bird Flu". I met her recently, and I'm a very, very big supporter of her work, and her attitude and what she stands for.
>> Best Recent Concert
I guess the most exciting show I've seen recently was on the outskirts of London in Hackney. Because the Olympics are moving in, they're shutting down all the gypsy communities, and so there was this last show in a warehouse where all the gypsy bands were playing, and they still sing in Romani gypsy, and of course I have no idea what any of the bands were called, but it was a wonderful night. I think that was probably the last most inspiring show-- there are actually loads and loads of Romani gypsy bands around at the moment, but of course they can't get any publicity or anything, so I just wish I knew the names of them, because it's all in Romani.
I tend to fall into these things by mistake. It was in this big warehouse, and if you walk around that area, you can hear it, because basically it's all squats, so you hear this music playing and then you kind of just walk in and join in the party. I got my hand burned on a stove as well. They had a big boiler in the middle of the room, and I tried to climb over the boiler, and I didn't realize it was switched on, so I burned my hand. But it was all part of a good night.
>> Last Great Film I Saw
Marie Antoinette
Amazing. I saw it because, of course I'm very attracted to the story of Marie Antoinette, and then because Marianne Faithfull was in it as well, so I thought I should check it out. But the movie was just absolutely beautiful. I don't know why anybody slagged it off when it came out. I'm a big fan of Sofia Coppola's work. As a new movie, it really, for me, fits in the same canon as a great Derek Jarman or a great Sally Potter film.
>> Last Great Book I Read
A collection of poetry by Dylan Thomas. I think it was just a general collection of his poetry.
>> Favorite Piece of Musical Equipment
My viola, of course. If I lost everything I would always save my viola, above any personal item at all. Above anything at all, even people, I would save my viola. I used to compose a lot more [with the viola] than I do now. I compose classically on the viola, not so much for my erratic Patrick Wolf stuff. I'm trying to bring it in a lot more, but as a songwriting instrument it's actually quite hard. It has limitations, although limitations can be quite exciting as well. I tend to write one song a year as Patrick Wolf on the viola. I tend to use it for classical work and film stuff
>>Favorite Record Store
Just go to any good charity shop or thrift store, because there are so many amazing records, you know, vinyl. My recommendation to the youth of today would be to get a record player and save your money for the old audio and vinyl and just choose something with a great fun cover: generally it's going to be a great record. Just explore-- there's so much great music out there. I just bought a ton of records because I got this amazing new record player. My favorite one is called "Taxi" by a German singer called Daliah Lavi. She's a long-lost German pop singer from the 70s. Great songs about hailing taxis and stuff. It's good.
>> Best Purchase of the Past Year
I recently bought a virginal, which is a harpsichord, but it's a very old harpsichord, from before harpsichords. It's very gentle, and I think it's apparently legendarily made for ladies-in-waiting, so it has a very quiet, conservative sound, but if you play it quite hard-- I'm just getting into this, since I have so many of course. I also bought this great new record-player; it's called "Magical Music Books". It's in an old wooden box and it plays old gramophone records and 45s and 33s and it's got a tape deck and a CD player and a radio, all in one. It's amazing, and it looks like a gramophone.
>> Best Thing I Did This Year
Release my album. Finally get it out and get it finished; it was a big job. It almost killed me, you know.
>> Favorite Music Venue
The Royal Albert Hall, London
I like that place. I've seen so much great classical music there. They have the proms there every year, it's like £2 to get in, and I'll just go there and listen to music one night. They're not very progressive at all with their choices, but the acoustics are absolutely to die for. Maybe I can play there someday [ laughs ]. If Elton John can do it, I'm sure I can.
>> Favorite TV Show
"Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs"
At 5:30 in the morning there's a show for kids called "Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs" that calms me down all the time. I was having a big argument with my friend, and all he did was switch on the TV and sit me down in front of the TV until I calmed down. It's about a boy with a bucket full of magical dinosaurs and he goes on adventures with them everyday. It's quite well animated. I was almost quite scared because I have so many dinosaurs in my flat as well, and I thought somebody had just been into my life and stolen it and turned it into a cartoon.
>> Favorite Video Game
I used to have an NES, that's what I still have. I like "Metroid", the original one, not what it is now. And "Castlevania".
>> Favorite Radio Show
The Shipping Forecast
In Britain we're an island, you know, so after the news, at 12 midnight they have 10 minutes of a news-reader reading out the weather for ships. It's more important than the weather in a way. It's very romantic; I know a lot of people that that's their favorite radio show. You basically close your eyes, and they read out all the weathers on the sea around England. I've always been very inspired by that. You can just escape, put your headphones on, and they read out places you'll never go in your life. They read almost out to the North Sea, exactly what the temperature is and what the waves are. It's a drug-free adventure.
>> My Ringtone
I've lost four mobiles in the past year, so I don't even bother buying ringtones anymore. I used to make them myself, the atonal ones. I destroyed one Blackberry because I hated it and I hated being connected to instant communication to the world. And the mobile phones, I tend to get drunk and lose phones all the time, or get mugged. It's communication that we're too obsessed with today. I want to go back to a more simple way of getting through the world and through the day. You can buy my songs as a ringtone in England, and my friends buy them as a joke. Then they come back, and they've got my songs on their phone. It's terrifying.

I wanted a new, shaggy rug for my living room to cover the hardwoods...this one looked like a possibility. After reading all the reviews, I went ahead and bought it and am not disappointed. When first unrolled, it seemed you could see every white and every beige shag piece, but after a day or two, they have blended in together very nicely. I agree with others who say it feels very plush under bare feet, exactly what I had been looking for. One note: The purchase page recommended buying (for $25) one of those non slip rug pads. I bought it, but it was not needed at all so save yourself the $25 for something else.
I spent days combing through this site for an area rug and reading the reviews. The reviews for this product were completely accurate. I usually do not write reviews but after realizing how important the reviews were in making my purchase I decided to add my voice to the reviews on this product. The product arrived quickly and was neatly wrapped. I was able to unwrap the carpet with ease. The color is as the reviews indicate in that there are specks of a darker beige mixed with a lighter color. It is not exactly as pictured on the website but still very nice. The area rug does have that new carpet smell but I am hoping it will dissipate over time. It is very plush and much better than anything I saw in the major stores like home depot and target and I spent days scouring those places looking for an area rug. I was apprehensive about making a purchase like this online without the benefit of seeing the quality directly but this exceeded my expectations and is a very nice buy. If you are on the fence about making a large purchase like this from an online seller I would definitely recommend this product. The reviews are accurate about what this product has to offer.
This rug looks like just a solid beige on the site, but it's actually fibers of off-white and tan (like a light coffee color) mixed and it's beautiful in person! It also feels so good under my feet. I wasn't expecting much for this price, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I am in love w/ this rug. It is very slidey on hard surface floors, so if you don't plan to put heavy furniture on it, you will probably need a pad to help with the slipping.
This is a nice medium shag. My dogs love it unfortunately and it's a real pain to vacuum. I have to pull the vacuum backward because it will not go forward over the pile. The only defect I've found is that it is not a perfect rectangle. If you place it evenly along the bottom then it is crooked on the side, and vice versa. Otherwise it's a good enough rug. The color of the rug is a light beige/gray so it always looks like it might be a little dirty, even when it's not.
Bought one for living room and dining room. Excellent quality, great neutral 'oatmeal' color, multi, which is very forgiving and thickness feels great on bare feet. Vacuums easily, no shedding. Highly recommend for any space - transitional decor.
Love this rug! Looks and feels great!
Love these rugs very plush
This rug is so soft and comfy. It's a little tough to vacuum just because of how nice and shaggy it is but it's not an issue at all. Gives me a little extra workout when I vacuum. :) It's much higher quality than a similar rug we bought at a local store. Our dog unfortunately chewed a hole in that rug but now I'm glad she did so I could get this upgrade. We couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Love this rug! I'd read the reviews and was confident with my purchase, but when it arrived I was pleased to find it exceeded my expectations. Great neutral color with slight light/dark color variations mixed throughout, making the rug look much more expensive than it is. I've got a very, very active dog (a pit/lab mix) who runs around the place, and the rug has shown no damage after 3 months of this abuse. Love it, would definitely recommend this purchase.
My kids and pets love the feel of this rug and I love the look. My husband loves the price so we all win.

Gallery: Water-Powered Alarm Clock by Vera Wiedermann Makes Waking Up a...
Nobody likes to be jolted out of bed by a buzzing alarm clock. Austrian designer Vera Wiedermann has created a pretty and peaceful solution to the daily ear-ringing with her water-powered Dreamtime alarm clock. Using the old tradition of balancing with water, the Dreamtime clock allows not only for a serene night's sleep, but also a gentle chiming in the morning that makes waking up actually enjoyable!
Wiedermann's design aims to put joy and thought back into our sleep routine. By pouring water into the glass bowl, the user can stop and think about how much sleep they are filling themselves with. Water drips silently from one bowl to the other, measuring time organically without the pesky mechanics of ticking noises or battery outages. As the top bowl gets lighter, it rises and finally lets a hammer fall. Bouncing between the two bowls, the alarm lets out a smooth, singing chime that will put any clock radio to shame.

"I really wanted to like this book."
Sadly the story drags and is not engaging and unfortunately the narrator tries to do different accents and characters which detracts even further from the story. I struggled to finish.
"A great escape!"
I have been a huge fan since book one! I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. It is laugh out loud funny combined with constant action, what more could you want! I love the characters, which are well developed through the series! I will keep coming back for more MHI!
"Fun and entertaining"
It is exactly what you expect. Easy to listen to, keeps you entertained! Will definitely check out more from this author.

First Time Lawn Owner Help
Hello all,
I recently moved into a house with a lawn for the first time and I am trying to put together a comprehensive lawn maintenance plan. I am in Northern New Jersey and I am trying to figure out what to do and when to do it.
Specifically I want to know when to feed, fertilize, overseed, mow, deal with weeds and pests, aerate, etc. Then the follw-up is what products I need to use to do it all.
If anyone could help me with a really detailed schedule or where to find one that also helps me with the products it would be so incredibly helpful as I am really feeling lost at the moment. If it helps, I have a young child and a dog.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I would suggest you get a soil test ASAP (logan labs in ohio will do it for $20 and you'll get the results in about 3 days via e-mail). It will save you chasing your tail if there are major soil problems.
Apply a pre-emergent like Dimension to prevent weed seed (crabgrass) from germinating. This should be applied once the soil temperature gets to 55-60 degrees. A visual indicator is to watch for forsythia plants to bloom, then drop the pre-m. (if you are aerating, aerate prior to dropping a pre-m--aerate only if needed, just as you don't mow if it doesn't need it)
Spot treat weeds with WBG or similar--you can do this from late spring through fall weather and temps permitting.
Mow the lawn as needed at a height between 2 1/2-3", but mow often enough that you do not remove more than 1/3 of the blade.
Apply 1/2-1# per 1000 sq. ft of a slow release nitrogen fertilizer ( you could use a triple NPK) between the last week of May and the first week of June.
As summer heat begins to set in (end of June-beginning of July), raise the mower to 3 1/2 to 4".
Late August/early September, apply 1# of N per k of slow release N.
Early Sept (once temps drop form summer like) set mower height to 2 1/2-3"
Aerate if needed Sept-October--but early enough that the grass is still growing and repair itself.)
Overseed late august to September. Some overseed after aeration.
Early October, apply another 1# of slow release N with K (called winterizer by some).
Once the turf ceases top-growth, drop mower height to 2-2 1/2" for a final mow and apply 1# of quick release N- Usually mid Nov-early Dec. (also called winterizing).
You can substitute organic sources for any or all N apps except the final fast release N app.
Apply any other amendments during the year as recommended per soil test.
