Skirt is a little too poofy
The dress was better and wearable after removing the tule lining in the skirt. It is still a little poofier than I like but my husband says it looks good so I kept it. The dress fit well but the belt seems a little tight. I love the bodice but there is a little too much gathering at the waist for me.Read More
Cute dress
Cute dress. Nice belt. I'm going to be removing the poof in the lining.Read More
Summer party dress
I love this dress! I needed to wear a strapless bra with it because of the back is cut lower than most bras. Initially I had a problem zipping up the dress in the back and I don't know why? I wore it to a party and received a ton of compliments. I was able to find shoes that matched the belt perfectly and also some costume jewelry. This dress has a built in slip and tulle which adds to the overall appearance.Read More
I am pleased with this dress. It is bright, flattering, and fits well. There is a tulle lining for extra poof that I find a little uncomfortable. It could easily be removed though. The belt is a nice touch. Cute!Read More

How to Dress for a Casual Wedding
When a wedding invitation asks for guests to come in casual dress, the hosts are typically asking you to show up in fancy business attire. For women, that means skipping the elaborate dresses in favor of more relaxed separates or more casual dresses. There are several simple clothing options that allow women to be comfortable yet stylish for an important occasion like a wedding. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect outfit.
Tips on Buying Casual Dresses
Whether you're looking for a dress to wear around town or just to the workplace, casual dresses will keep you comfortable and still look polished enough for an evening with friends or a business meeting. Finding flattering casual dresses can be simplified with just a few shopping steps. Read on for tips on buying casual dresses that fit well and look great.
How to Accessorize Casual Dresses
Have you hit a style slump with your casual dresses, or you are just looking for ways to dress them up a bit? Changing your jewelry and accessories adds variety to your wardrobe. With just a few swaps, you can change your style.
How to Dress for a Casual Office
More and more workplaces are relaxing their dress codes, and casual is no longer exclusively for the weekends. Casual doesn't mean that anything goes, however, which can make it hard to determine exactly what you can and can't wear to work. If your office allows employees to dress down, read the following tips about dressing casually at work.
Best Dresses for Petite Women
If you are petite, finding clothing that fits correctly is essential. Petite apparel prevents you from looking boxy or drowning in too much fabric and ensures a fit that flatters your body. Shopping for petite clothing will help you find the right sizes with all the fashionable options as other departments. The best dresses for petites are easy to find with a few simple guidelines. V-necks draw the eye up toward the face. V-necks are flattering for all types of women, since they show off the neck and encourage the appearance of a long, lean body. Petite dresses that have a V-neck also create a vertical line and give the impression that you are taller. Look for petite clothing that allows you to play with accessories and show them off. For an evening look, pair the V-neck with layers of necklaces to look glamorous. Find knee-length dresses to flatter your legs. As a petite woman, flowing long dresses may cause you to look smaller. When more leg is showing, you will appear taller. A flattering petite dress is hemmed at the knee or just above the knee. Pair a petite dress with heels and your legs will appear long and lean. Don't go much shorter than slightly above the knee, since it may be inappropriate for work or more elegant parties. Select petite apparel that hits at the right length and is flattering to your curves. Vertical designs will elongate your body. Look taller by finding dresses that have a vertical design. Dresses that have vertical stripes create the illusion that there is more length. On the other hand, dresses that have too many patterns or colors may cause petite women to appear smaller. A simple dress is flattering, whether it's one solid color or contains a subtle pattern. Petite women can use a wide belt at the waist in the same color as the dress. Using a belt in a different color may cause you to look shorter, in addition to cutting your appearance in half at the waist.

U.S. News Review
Named after the co-founder of the Central Pacific Railroad, this hotel was bought by InterContinental in 1973. And some say that through the acquisition, the hotel lost a bit of its character, with the decor looking more dated than charming. Still, many enjoy this Nob Hill hotel and the great views of San Francisco from its in-house restaurant, Top of the Mark. Not to be confused with its sister property, the InterContinental San Francisco in SoMA, this hotel is especially popular among business travelers, who can use the 21 meeting rooms and take advantage of the property's business center and high-speed Internet connection (for a fee). Leisure travelers will appreciate the hotel's proximity to popular San Fran neighborhoods like Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown, as well as the city's famed cable cars. The InterContinental Mark Hopkins also offers pillow menus and Keurig coffee makers in all of its rooms and an on-site fitness center.

Spanish savers. A Land that runs will not lack followers. If one look at the holyday reports from Spain on German Television one comes to mind decadence, the "Pop Titan", the German elite milking a land. This is sad.
"lured by high interest rates"
High interest rates means high risk. Everybody knows that. Or should know.
Anyway, it does not matter anymore. Marrano Rajoy is not going to make it till Christmas...
Xmas??? That's optimistic ;-) Nov might be a good bet,just after the bailout is completed in both Spain,nationally,and in Catalonia regionally.....in case anyone suggests I am suggesting Catalonia is not in Spain.
Maybe you're right, I've always been a little bit optimistic -). Marrano is out.
Being myself a Spaniard (ok, "medio español") living in Spain I would gladly let the Catalans go - if they pay back every single peseta they've received since 1714 from the central government. Throw them out would be a real pleasure...
And what about the money received by the central administration from Catalonia? As far as I remember this has been the richest Spain region for long time, I guess this should be reflected in the tax amount paid there.
This is a common misconception, Bob. Since the imposition of the so called "democractic system" in Spain (in fact it is a partycracy and a "whorecracy" at the same time) Catalonia has received far more money from the central government than has paid in taxes to Madrid. There is only one region which has received more money (above all in terms of investments) that Catalonia - Andalusia.
And we should not forget the great amount of money Franco invested in modernising the Catalan industry in the 60ies and 70ies...
I am a Spaniard that has his money in one of those banks. I am not old enough to have been scammed by my bank, but still I am in the process of opening an account in an ethical bank, and closing the old account for good.
I encourage everyone in a similar situation to do the same. Those banks should be punished by law and the scam perpetrators should go to jail. Since that is not going to happen (this is Spain), they should at least be punished by their customers.
I agree with you in principle but be careful with some so-called 'ethical' banks. I had a friend who worked in one for a while and she was disgusted with some of the practices that went on there. If you can, do some research before lodging your money there.
As many previous comments already said "preferentes" was a swindle scheme by which banks stole life savings of thousands of old retired people in Spain. No local bank manager knew what he was selling, but just followed policies given by their top management. There is nothing wrong on being a bank shareholder. What is really wrong is stealing people and making society pay for the losses. It is also wrong that a journalist misses so much the point of the causes and consequences of the past Spanish speculation era.
I think you need a) to learn English because b) you haven't really read the article because c) your reply has no relevance either to the article or your original posting.
First,of all,if they were sold by the bank manager or staff and they didn't know what they were selling......no need to answer.
You ask if the journalist was a shareholder but then suggest there's nothing wrong with that,so what was the point of aasking that?
The writer has explained perfectly what has been happening so my guess us that as a Spaniard,and from my 25 years' experience teaching in Madrid,you don't have any idea what you are talking about,you don't read sufficiently and you have no coherence.
Is the reporter a shareholder of a Spanish bank? And?
Or may be he belongs to Partido Popular. And?
Or is he just a lousy professional working from bed.Because?
These are the possible alternatives to just writing lies.Which are?
May be after 25 years experience teaching in Madrid you should try to turn to be taught. As no reason or sign of knowledege of what is really going on Spain, you are probably driven by your personal relation to the subject.
Juan Galofre in reply to nadamasqueso 1 hour 40 mins ago
May be after 25 years experience teaching in Madrid you should try to turn to be taught ????????????
I rest my case......you haven't read,understood or responded to the questions.
Is the reporter a shareholder of a Spanish bank? Or may be he belongs to Partido Popular. Or is he just a lousy professional working from bed. These are the possible alternatives to just writing lies.
So why don't you explain? Why do you suggest he,or she,might be a bank shareholder....and why is that wrong?....why do you suggest membership of the PP?
If you are going to snivel at a report you are wasting time so why not be a bt constructive?
The prolongation of a temporary €400 a month payment to the long-term unemployed is a farce, a fraud and a propaganda's instrument of the governement, where only a few privileged long-term jobless people will be able continue receiving unemployment benefits.
The big majority and needier long-term unemployed people with none assitance will go on without any unemployment benefits and without receive any income of any type, living in miserable and third world conditions.
The central Government, the regional "government's" as well as the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) stood silent while fully aware that these regional cajas (savings banks) were telephoning all of their clients, even those with small amounts on deposit, and attempting to coax these clients into transferring their savings into what were claimed to be safe investments. That these vulnerable clients were allowed to be defrauded so readily, is both a reflection of their financial naivety as well as the willingness of the Government to use any and every means to try and make the banking system appear sound.
The tragedy is that the failure to ensure appropriate oversight is costing those many savers who, having been given assurances that their money was safe, entrusted their life savings with those very banks that had already proven themselves so incompetent during the 'boom' years.
It is because of the Government complicity at the time that the caja's were undertaking the raising of these funds that there is more than a moral reason for their need to ensure that a reasonable part of the initial investment is returned.
I'm deeply worried about what is going on in Spain right now because I live in a EU country which is very similar to Spain in many respects. Be at least happy that TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL didn't evacuate from Spain. I know it may not comfort you much, but at least "someone is supposed to be watching" which is not the case in Poland, where noone is watching and our politicians can easily do whatever they wish after TI evacuated from Poland. Our agricultural minister doesn't see anything wrong in the fact that his son is employed in an artificially created state agency directly responsible to ... our agricultural minister! Bien au contraire, our agricultural minister is even proud of this fact that his son is working with him because supposedly it is always better if a family works together and it is a maintanance of a family ethos and stuff like that (real unemployment in Poland is much higher than official statistics say). But this is a piece of cake in comparison with our prime minister who fixed a job for his son in a state-run company (this same ultra-liberal prime minister who was always famous in Poland for his protagonism for a private enterprise and millions of Poles were always angry with him each time he went as far as to call all state companies "a parasite which has to be eradicated the sooner the better" (these words were his mantra, a cliche which he repaeted over and over again during the last 23 years in Poland), but now when it comes to his own son he suddenly turned a devout socialist and a great state-lover and asked his friends to fix a job for his son in a state-dependent "Wałęsa" airport in Gdańk. But that's not all. His son started, with a prime minister's full cognizance, a cooperation with Amber Gold (sic), a para-bank who just stole a lot of money from the purses of thousands of decent Poles. Everybody in Poland is simply furious that noone questioned the president of Amber Gold with regard to his criminal past, but now all the prosecutors say that they could do nothing though they knew all along that the president of Amber Gold had already been sentenced for a similar offences and shouldn't have been allowed to set up yet another para-bank to cheat people. But the prosecutors now have a very strong alibi and say: the prime minister's son was advising Amber Gold and the company gave a lot of money to finance the production of a movie entitled "Wałęsa", how on earth could we claim that the guy is a sheer criminal?. Thus you can see that Polish government is also complicit in many "cajas", and it looks like they premeditated this because one: TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL could no longer operate in Poland and ceased its mission in Poland in November last year, and two: the former TI representative in Poland was granted a very high position in the Civic Platform, the ruling party in Poland even though many other more senior Civic Platform members deserved a better positions on the election lists to the Parliament she was smuggled to the Sejm and now is an MP(maybe on condition that she will remain quiet?). On the whole it looks as though Poland is going to repeat your country's current crisis situation in a few years' time, don't believe many fairy tales that are being told about the Polish miracle.
the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) stood silent-
I'd go further,from what I've read,what my pupils have told me(I teach English in Madrid),in that the CNMV made clear it was legitimate to sell them,that the banks or cajas in particular were doing nothing wrong.
This is a long diatribe and quite off topic,as depressing and relevant it might be.
Is it really off topic? Poland and Spain have a lot in common and they are both members of the European Union. Our fates are interdependent, whether you like it or not (I would also like to hear better news from Spain but somehow I don't, and I would also like to report some better news for you from Poland yet I can't, because such things are, sorry).
It's not that I'm against your posting but it is off topic in that the article is NOT ABOUT SPAIN'S PLIGHT in general but about Spanish savers in corrupt banks and savings banks.
That's true, thank you.
Equity holders should be wiped out before banks receive a penny of taxpayers' money.
That goes for the nearly 60% held by retail investors just as for institutional investors. There is no sense in which ordinary taxpayers (in Spain or Europe) should subsidize people receiving 7% on their savings (hell, if you have savings you can afford to pay more than the average taxpayer).
If that leaves you poor, be glad that Spain pays decent state pensions and provides universal healthcare.
* And any self-respecting socialist would say the same.
be glad that Spain provides universal healthcare!!!!!yes to anybody, including all the illegal immigrants that do not contribute at all to the economy...in a country where everybody is welcome...How long can this last?
It's the same in the UK, and in almost all European countries.
By all means, combat illegal immigration. Form an agreement with somewhere nice (say, Cameroon), and deport all illegal immigrants there (paying Cameroon perhaps 3,000 euros for accepting each deportee). Illegals can either show identity documents and volunteer to be deported to their country of origin, or they land in Cameroon. That might make Spain a less attractive destination.
That said, the taxpayer costs here are trivial (it is old people who use healthcare - and old people aren't swimming into the country). Most wasteful public spending goes on pensions, payroll, military procurement and "prestige infrastructure" (stuff that would never make anything approaching a financial return). And benefits of course: unemployment benefit really should be capped to three months, should be loan based (i.e. you pay back with interest when you find work), and should be supplemented with guaranteed (government funded) low wage work positions for anyone unemployed over 3 months. These are the areas where the spending cuts should fall hardest.
A free and fair country should guarantee a decent minimum standard of living for its citizens (including universal basic healthcare, universal access to education, etc); within Europe we should be mutually open to free movement of workers; but otherwise, public spending and public spending obligations must be contained at sustainable levels.

If I had known when I was overindulging in sweets, fast food, and junk food that these foods would cause me to gain 100 pounds after high school, I don't believe I would have done it.
However, I did know on some level that these foods weren't good for me, but I chose to eat them anyway. I didn't practice this bit of Biblical wisdom:
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any" (1 Corinthians 6:12).
But in losing 85 pounds, I learned this is not a question of natural willpower. It is about realizing that while you can eat anything, you shouldn't eat everything.
If you struggle with your weight due to your eating habits, then there are probably some foods you are eating that don't play well with your brain chemistry. Some foods cause cravings and make you want to overeat. For some people, they cause your flesh to rise up.
Even the Apostle Paul struggled with his flesh in some areas. In Romans, he writes about the battle with his flesh:
"For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin that is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:15-25)."
Years ago, the Lord taught me that your flesh is like a spoiled child who can never grow up. Your flesh will never want to do the right thing. She wants what she wants, when she wants it.
I call my flesh nature "Verruca." Click the play button in the clip from the classic movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." You'll see why!
If you were taking your flesh child to a store, would you take that child down the candy or the toy aisle?
No you wouldn't. It you did, then you'd have to put up with the child's tantrums and noise when you denied her what she wanted.
To me, it is the same thing as continually giving into your flesh's desires to do the wrong thing. Even if you gave in, she will only want more. And as you can see, your flesh can be very destructive if you let her do what she wants!
I've decided as much as I like food, nothing is good enough for me to wear anymore:
- It is not good enough for the extra strain it puts on your heart.
- It not good enough for the wear and tear it puts on your joints.
- It is not good enough for the increased risk of diabetes and stroke.
Excess food isn't good enough to wear.
If you've had problems controlling your flesh when it comes to food, the first thing to remedy the situation is to avoid or limit trouble foods. An example happened to me just yesterday.
I bought some low-sugar Craisins (dried cranberries), then found myself having to battle my flesh because she wanted more. This surprised me because I was thinking this would be a healthier alternative to the Craisins I used to buy years ago.
While this may have been a better alternative, it still didn't play well with my unique brain chemistry. So, I to face reality. I chose to get rid of them and won't buy them again because I don't want to hear my flesh complain about being denied.
It is wise for you to learn which foods in your current diet are causing your flesh to rise up. It's probably those same foods that have caused you to gain weight in the first place.
If you do happen to come into trouble, not of your own making, then you can either say "Wait" to the flesh (a word she hates) or "No" (which she hates even more).
Either way, your Spirit has power to control the flesh like a responsible parent controls a child headed for trouble. However, you must believe God that it exists and by faith, use that power one choice at a time.

Best thing here is the location. Very close to the beach (tho no easy access to the beach). Very near to Birch Bay restaurants, shops, attractions. Spaces are rather tight and our space was grass, though fairly level. Park Managers were very helpful and nice. Many residents at this park, but not an issue for us. I'd certainly consider staying there again. We camped at Beachside RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $22.00
Positives. Within walking distance to the beach, very quiet, super clean restrooms, level pad sites (some gravel and some grass), nice shade trees, and nice management. Negatives. Will have to pay for showers, sites are very tight and close to one another (not very big rig friendly), some long-termers (although not an issue for us), and WiFi only works in the office. Price reflects our GS discount for a week stay. We camped at Beachside RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo

Student Loans:
Federal Web-based Tool on Private Loans Would Pose Implementation Challenges and May Be Unnecessary
GAO-10-990: Published: Sep 29, 2010. Publicly Released: Sep 29, 2010.
Additional Materials:

Student loans play a key role in ensuring postsecondary access for millions of students each year. In fiscal year 2009, students and their families borrowed $90 billion in federal student loans to help pay the cost of postsecondary education. Traditionally, these loans have been available through two programs: the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan), in which the federal government provides loans directly to students through their schools, and the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL), in which private lenders provide loans guaranteed by the federal government. However, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 terminated the authority to make new FFEL loans after June 30, 2010, and all federally guaranteed loans are now originated under the Direct Loan Program. While private lenders no longer provide federally guaranteed student loans, they may continue to provide private loans--estimated at nearly $12 billion in 2008-2009--which are not federally subsidized. Although federal loans comprise the majority of loans used to defray educational expenses, private student loans serve as a source of supplemental or alternative funding. For example, in 2007-2008, an estimated 14 percent of undergraduates obtained private student loans. Unlike federal loans, which have statutorily fixed interest rates and flexible repayment terms, interest rates for private loans vary based upon factors such as a borrower's credit score. These loans typically offer borrowers fewer protections and benefits than federal loans. Given the variety of options available, some observers have questioned whether borrowers have sufficient information to help them make informed decisions about student loans. In this report, we respond to a mandate in the Higher Education Opportunity Act requiring GAO to study the feasibility of developing a national clearinghouse of federal and private student loans on the Department of Education's (Education) Web site. We addressed the following questions: (1) What are some options for establishing a tool on Education's Web site that provides real-time information on federal and private student loans, and what is the perceived need for such a tool? (2) What challenges would Education need to address in implementing such a tool?
Education has a range of options for providing prospective borrowers with a Web-based tool containing real-time information--such as interest rates and loan terms--on federal and private student loans, but such a tool may be unnecessary. Providing information on private student loans also may not align with Education's role in administering and promoting federal student aid. To implement such a tool, Education would have to address several challenges--including securing a high rate of lender participation and ensuring completeness, accuracy, and objectivity of information presented--to avoid the appearance of bias or endorsement. Furthermore, minimizing costs to the federal government would be challenging because developing a tool would require a considerable investment, and many stakeholders ruled out a system funded by lenders. While it would be feasible for Education to establish a student loan tool on its Web site, the need for such a new source of information is questionable. Since all federal student loans are now originated through the Direct Loan Program, students no longer have to choose a lender for federal loans. In addition, information on both federal and private loans is already available from resources such as financial aid offices and existing Web-based loan comparison tools. Furthermore, any perceived need for a federal tool must be weighed against the investment required of Education and the considerable challenges inherent in implementation.

The politician should leave this man alone rather focus on how to cut the wasteful spending.
+1 Eduardo. I, for one, "like" you !
Qiuck I smell money get him! The politician said.
Wow. So now the USA is supposed to become a gigantic prison?
The guys loves money more than he loves America. What is misinformed about that? Good riddance, I say.
The US has definitely become a country led by petty tyrants.
Eduardo, I am jealous I cannot afford to leave for a country with more economic freedom.
He's traitor. The entire Internet, as well as computers, we're invented by the US. The lines were laid by ATT at a cost of billions (capital investment). A peon low tech company like fb gets it all for free and is worth billions. The guys and gals who invented silicon, the computer were real geniuses, zukerberg is NOT a computer genius just a programmer. In valley forge Washington executed traitors. It's all over for him, no more should he be allowed in the US, and when the war comes or hes on death row for drugs in Singapore too bad for him and his family. He is a traitor.
what do u mean "invented by the US", they were invented by human beings...
When the tax system become onerous and the funds use are dictated by idiots and self-interested crooks those with the ability to will escape it
Money over country. Party over country. Tea Party "Patriots"? I don't think so!
"will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the United States government"
A millionaire 100x over for doing nothing... Cry me a river... Good luck doing that in a 3rd world country... Higher taxes = greater access to richer customers... Idiot...
Then please, do so. Just make sure not to spit on the sidewalk or you're slapped with a ticket. Don't forget to leave before your 90 days are up, or you'll be publicly caned! And heaven forbid you stray outside the lines even a hair, or you can expect a 3 month minimum sentence in jails that make the US' look like summer camps.
Be careful what you wish for. And instead of being a moocher and a leech, why don't you try and fix our country, instead of leaving my generation with a ridiculous mess and saying "you got the bill for that, right?" Offloading all the costs to us NOW, all at once, rather than distributing them over time, is enough to lose the right wing an election. There's a difference between "handouts" and "helping kids pay for school so that we can make America great again". One we did after WW2 and had the biggest boom in our nation's history. The other is something that we give to the largest institutions that can't pay off their gambling losses...
And before people start going off on me for getting a liberal arts degree or PhD in art history... I'm an ivy league prospective PhD in laser physics, working part time as a software engineer for a hedge fund to pay the bills. Not all that worried for myself in the long run. But I can't stand to see a group of people blaming others for problems that they themselves helped cause, not to mention of character flaws that they themselves have in spades.
Doubting Thomas:
There is NO system of law more oppressive than the US. It incarcerates 707 people per 100K. I am a defense lawyer. Why does Saverin bother you? How about other entrepreneurs living in Hong Kong, Russia, even Singapore who invests millions in the US, earn hundreds of millions and even billions, who do NOT pay a penny of taxes in their country? At least Saverin will have to pay. How about those? You work in a hedge fund you of all people should know

Linux 3.3-rc6: The Final Might Be One Week Away

Linux 3.3 kernel
release might be imminent. In releasing the Linux 3.3-rc6 kernel, which Linus says is just made up of small fixes and clean-ups, he says this could be the last release candidate.
Here's the key part of
his announcement
: "In fact, it's been calm enough that this *might* be the last -rc, but we'll see how the upcoming week goes. If it stays calm (and hopefully even calms down some more), there doesn't seem to be any major reason to drag out the release cycle any more. But hey, that does imply that people who have seen regressions should re-check them and holler loudly if they are still seeing problems."
As far as what's good about this kernel, read
this article
(among other Phoronix articles) that go over some of the most interesting work.

... good at listening to the instructions even though they were in Danish. We had a great time at Signe's all day party and the food was delicious (especially the ice cream cake).
The farm we were on has cows and corn fields. Alexander kept disappearing and we found him picking corn with another girl. I joined in, then after a little while the boys joined in and we created the Corn Company! We picked lots of corn from the fields and peeled the wars of corn. We laid them ...
When we got to Denmark we got picked up by Folmer and Anna. Folmer looks just like Far Far. They took us straight to Legoland. I loved it there. It had lots and lots of Lego there. I loved the Haunted house and the polar bear roller coaster.
We had a party for Signe and I ate some corn and the dog ate some corn. By the way it was actually cow corn. I picked corn from the fields and had a Corn Company ...
End of Norway, little stop in Denmark
... did admin but we squeezed in a quick visit to Legoland at the end of the day having found out it was free entry 90 minutes before closing. We had a good time looking around and Phoebe enjoyed a couple of rides, but we were glad we hadn't forked out the full entry fee as she really just wanted to play in a house with a slide in one of the playgrounds! So, Legoland was pretty well the last thing we did - big driving day tomorrow and home the day ...
More herrings and a ruined castle transformed
... Kolding, about 1.5 hours west of Troense, to visit Thorkid and Meta, another couple Eric stayed with 16 years ago when he was on the Rotary Exchange. It was lovely to catch up with them and learn more about their lives. They treated us to a traditional Danish lunch - more herrings and rye bread (delicious) with pastries to follow. Meta took us to another famous castle - ...
Back in Europe
... wooden flooring, floor to ceiling glass and everything looks brand new. Henry and I chatted for ages about everything from economics to computers, then Henry's wife cooked steak medallions for dinner, which were perfectly medium rare, with a side of fresh salad and warm walnut rolls. An amazing dinner. Tomorrow will be a sightseeing day in Hamburg, but I haven't planned or even looked up what is worth a visit so I think that will be my first priority tomorrow ...

Thank you all. Didn't get these replies until the mash had been sitting for 45 min so stirred the mash once and again just before sparging. Did an iodine test and got no purple. Hit estimated OG from recipe based on 75% efficiency so very happy.
Note: Efficiency was 51% 2 batches ago, made some changes and last batch was 59%. As I said, this batch was 75% so stirring worked awesome.
"Ask not what your country can brew for you ; ask what you can brew for your country."
"ich braute dieses Bier mit meinem Hund" (Life is indeed short: Get a Beagle and a Beer
I mash overnight in my coolers and only stir the mash when I add the grain to the water. I stir it up for about 30 seconds to make sure all the grain is in suspension and don't stir it again. Works great.
Imperial, I was definitely in the same boat as you with very poor efficiency on my first batch (intended to do a 10gal batch, ended up with 7gal of wort at the target OG). I tried to leave the grain bed intact and keep water above the grain, but it never seemed to rinse the grain sufficiently. Second batch after mashing I vorlauf'ed the wort, drained out pretty much completely. Then I infused the batch sparge water, stirred, let settle for a few minutes, vorlauf'ed, drained pretty much completely and repeated once more. Then I bought beersmith and its apparently that's what I was supposed to do for a batch sparge anyway.
In my experience, stirring is good.
"When all else fails, simply revel in the absurdity of it all."
Stirring very well at dough in is crucial, and it often takes more/longer stirring than people think to fully incorporate the mash water and eliminate all doughballs. Stirring before sparging isn't really necessary if you do a fly sparge properly, but doesn't hurt any either. Stirring very well with each sparge water addition is crucial if you're batch sparging, since that's the mechanism that gets the sugars into solution. I've also never seen a benefit to letting the grain bed "settle" before draining when batch sparging. It requires a little more vorlaufing if you start draining immediately, but it's still a lot quicker than waiting 5-10 min. I've never seen any benefit to stirring during the mash, and unless you're using a RIMS/HERMS/etc., it usually results in a temperature loss. As always, YMMV.
Rigs, I too have Beersmith. Where did you find the instructions that tell you to stir when batch sparging?
Juan, I found stirring the mash to help, but then I only stirred it once. Palmer recommends stirring more often. Also lost temp in the process. Plan to have hot water on hand next time. What is "RIMS/HERMS/etc." I am new to brewing and have not heard these terms before.
As I posted earlier I hit the estimated OG of 1.064 from a recipe with 75% efficiency. Maybe a dumb question but does that mean the mash had an efficiency of 75%? I think it does but just want to make sure I am not misreading something.
I stir while doughing in and twice over the hour long average mash. I basically open it up and stir 20 minutes in then again at 40. I don't want to stir it much more than that because I don't think it would matter much and I would risk losing the temp. I double batch sparge and stir after each sparge water addition and wait 5 or so minutes befure vorlaufing and draining for the grain bed to settle. Been working fine this way so far, though I'm still uber new to AG.

Interesting plant names, I want them ALL!!!
We were talking about common plant names and their AKA Latin names. I use both. I love the music of both. One is like Italian opera and the other has all the folksy magic of outsider poetry.
Add yours that you like. I will start it out with a small list. Broom Whitlow Wort, Fringed Puccoon, Strangle weed, Witches shoe laces, beggar's lice, Toadflax, Shame Boy, Devil's claw,Bladderpod.
come on , Add to the list.
Talk about a mouthful:
Nipponanthemum nipponicum - Montauk daisy
Polychroma spurge euphorbia - cushion spurge
Then the really tough one:
Aptly named:
Chelone lyonii/turtlehead
And one that (at least in my mind) defies definition, description or explanation:
Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthos)
Hens and Chicks
and one of my favorites...
Fried egg orchid (Dendrobium chrysotoxum)
I had to look liquidamber up. Sweet Gum. Cool name, real smooth.
I can do the slothful part real quick. Takes me a while to do the latin so I did my google homework. Here's my list so far:
Jumping Cholla (Opuntia bigelovii)
Coyote Candles (Opuntia imbricata)
Devil's Head Cactus (Echinocactus texensis)
Nipple Cactus (Mammillaria heyderi)
Arrowhead Plant (Sagittaria longiloba)
Snake Herb (Dyschoriste linearis)
Clammyweed (Polanisia dodecandra)
Bitterweed (Hymenoxys odorata)
Dotted Button Snakeroot (Liatris punctata)
Compass Plant (Lactuca serriola) I want one.
Skeleton Plant (Lygodesmia texana)
Cowpen Daisy (Verbesina encelioides)
Cota (Thelesperma filifoium)
Dodder (Cuscuta squamata)
Beadpop (Lesquerella gordonii) My earliest bloomer
Wooly Loco (Astralagus mollissimus) I want one
Hog Potato (Hoffmanseggia glauca)
"Wait-a-Minute" (Mimosa borealis)
Stick-Leaf (Mentzelia nuda)
Angel Trumpets (Acleisanthes longiflora)
Futtermill (Oenothera missouriensis)
Old Man's Beard (Cematis drummondii)
Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja)
Desert Candle (Dasylirion wheeleri)
Fairy Duster (Calliandra eriophylla)
Rattlebox (Senna covesii)
Spanish Dagger or S. Bayonet (Yucca torreyi)
woops, just looked up strangleweed. Thats another name for Dodder which is kind of creepy sounding so I like it. Strangleweed is new one on me. Maybe Dodderin' Strangleweed?

I love some of the common names of annuals - love in a mist, love in a puff, love lies bleeding, kiss me over the garden gate - so poetic and dramatic, lol! The perennial bleeding heart fits in this category as well.
Also, Queen Anne's Lace, and a favorite from childhood, butter and eggs - perfectly descriptive, both of them! And there's bachelors buttons, toad lilies, snapdragons, bells of ireland...
One of my favorite latin names is cimicifuga, although I admit to being afraid to actually say it in public, in case I trip over my own tongue. Luckily, not too many opportunities come up in everyday conversation to say it.... :)
Fun thread!
Two latin names Johanneistasjmannia try saying that in latin lol Alocasia infernalis which would translate "out of hell" or "hell like"?? Don't get it lol
Two common names "Palm orchid" as you would suspect it doesn't belong in either family
"Drunkards dream" try conjuring up a pic of what that looks like lol gary
mmm, I also like both, especially when the latin nominates are utterly descriptive (amorphophallus). But anyway, here's a few off the top of my head
Hottentot Fig - Carpobrotus edulis
Hogweed (hieraceum spondilifera)
Codlins and cream - epilobium hirsutum
Skullcap - scutellaria
cocksfoot - dactylis glomerata
restharrow - ononis
enchanter's nightshade - circaea
henbane - hyocyamus niger
Ladies bedstraw - galium verna
Dame's rocket -hesperis matronalis
bladder campion - silene
all these are in my woods
How about a combo of Latin and common names? I sent my husband a list of what I bought at the sale at the local agricultural center. Streptocarpus Blue Birds was on the list.....he asked if I bought strep throat for blue birds. Poor plant....that is what I call it now. :)
