Followup story with more programming plans and an interior picture here.
Film Society of Philadelphia buys the theater with $8 million in funding from a foundation. The venue will continue to be available for live shows; it will reopen March 18 with The Last Jimmy, a hip-hop musical. Philly.com story here.
Up next: some exterior work and a campaign to get a liquor license. Philly.com story here.
The Met was damaged by two serious fires in the post-WWII years. On February 5, 1948, flames caused $165,000 in damage to the balconies. This was followed by a four-alarm fire on April 11, 1950, that rose from the base of the stage to the roof and caused an estimated $200,000 in damages. (From Billboard, April 22, 1950, p.25.)
Under contract for a sale to Eddie Carranza, per DNAInfo.
The St. James is the red brick building right next to the Mayfair. Perhaps it never got its own postcard.
From CBS News, a 22-picture slideshow, including some from Matt Lambros.
I'm just glad that we can still make things like this happen.
Sourwine and Sauerwein appear to be actual surnames, so my first guess would be that the theater was named for its owner.
The Norshore's opening featured bathing beauties.
The Village in 1978: an artistic and financial success, according to Gene Siskel.
In the middle of a 1972 story about Chicago's lower-priced theaters, Dan Rottenberg takes a break to tell a tale about a visit to the Family. It's completely in keeping with the theater's reputation. Link; you may have to scroll a bit to center the page in your browser.
Theater closed December 18; will reopen as an AMC house after renovations, including conversion to stadium seating. The theater's lease expired and was not renewed, but it's unclear whether that was the operator's decision or the landlord's. Brief NJ.com story here.
The fire occurred in the early hours of May 12, 1975, destroying neighboring buildings as well as the theater. Here is a newspaper front page with a wire service story (site may try to sell you a subscription).
Status should be Closed/Renovating, as the theater is not operating and a nonprofit is working on restoring it. They have raised a good portion of the money they need and have received a post-Hurricane Sandy disaster grant that will go toward HVAC and electrical repair. Philly.com story here.
From February 24, 1972, a short Tribune story on the Star & Garter's demolition, with a murky interior picture. The story says that a calendar in the box office was turned to September 1971, an indication of a probable closing date.
You really do run into interesting people when you have an interest in Chicago history! Thanks for posting, Mr. Ure.
From February 20, 1977, a brief article on the Senate's demolition, treating it as an example of the many theaters torn down in the city's neighborhoods. There's a picture, but it's from microfilm and so not very good. The movie listings on the page are better.
The Howard disappears from the Tribune's listings around Thanksgiving of 1975, with the last features that I found being a four-walled Sunn Classic double bill of The Outer Space Connection and Toklat. From the advertising style it looks like this was a Brotman & Sherman house in its later years, although the ads for the last couple weeks are generic listings separated from the Brotman & Sherman group.
Bill introduced in City Council for a zoning change that would facilitate the facadectomy. Story at PlanPhilly.
A little more poking around on the archives site reveals on the FAQ page that it will only be free while it is in beta status, so visit while you can.
From the Chicago Tribune of April 27, 1978, a story on the ultimately unsuccessful attempt to renovate the theater building.
If you didn't know that the Tribune had its archives online like that, neither did I until a few days ago. Who knows what treasures lie within?
Site to be redeveloped with row houses. DNAInfo story here. The story doesn't mention the theater, but the picture matches the street view.
Something is way off here…house numbers on Race Street in Cambridge don't appear to go below 400 and the proper ZIP Code is 21613. As posted, this site maps to the town of Vienna.
Operating organization terminates lease and intends to dissolve; theater's future uncertain again. Philly.com story here.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
1620s, "originally the name of a street in Moorfields in London, much inhabited by writers of small histories, dictionaries, and temporary poems; whence any mean production is called grubstreet" [Johnson]. Name changed 1830 to Milton Street (after a local developer) then erased entirely 1970s by the Barbicon complex.

While the Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I) gets the most buzz from the 'best milers make the best sires' adage, the Cigar Mile (gr. I) coming up on Nov. 29 has also produced its fair share of top stallions.
Fields are taking shape for the Nov. 29 Cigar Mile (gr. I) stakes program at Aqueduct Racetrack, featuring four graded events worth a combined $1.7 million.

American Artists' Innovations with Drawing and Color
Instructor: Michael Rossman, MFA
American artists returning from studies in Paris implemented the language of 19th-century European masters in new ways. Instead of choosing to continue a rigid emphasis on color or line, American modernists challenged existing definitions of beauty. Artists like William Glackens, Ernest Lawson, Alfred Maurer, and Maurice Prendergast established a visual language that was both gritty and vibrant, like the experience of their urban milieu. Their innovations paved the way towards international recognition of American art.

Forget Jason, Freddy, Michael, and all of the rest. There is only one group out there who knows how to cut deeper than anyone else, the MPAA. Recently Rob Hall's upcoming film ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 went before them, and guess what?!?
They immediately slapped the movie with the dreaded NC-17 rating. Having already seen the movie, I can tell you as a fact there's no way this wasn't going to happen. LTR 2 is riddled with some of the most insane bits of violence and kills we've ever seen. Not kidding either. This flick is NUTS, and we love it!
When reached for comment about the rating, director Hall chimed in with the following …
"I think it's great the MPAA had a problem with almost every kill in the film", says Hall. "If they didn't, we wouldn't have done our jobs correctly. They have a job to do, and so do I … and luckily Image has been super supportive and has committed to releasing the film UNRATED and on Blu-ray, which makes me happy. Just to clarify, there will be a rated R cut as well, but I think most outlets will prefer the hardcore unrated cut … I know I do."
Directed by Robert Hall and produced by Chang Tseng and Kevin Bocarde, ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 stars Brian Austin Green ("90210″, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Owain Yeoman (Troy, "The Mentalist"), Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Mimi Michaels ("Savage County", Boogeyman 3), Nick Principe (Hatchet 2, Madison County), Danielle Harris (Rob Zombie's Halloween, Hatchet 2), Gail O'Grady ("NYPD Blue"), Chris Nelson (Kill Bill), Brett Wagner (The Crazies), and Aimee Lynn Chadwick (Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis).
To keep up on all things Chromeskull, you can follow the madman himself on Twitter via @LaidToRestMovie, "like" ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 on Facebook, or check out the official Laid to Rest 2 website!
Look for the ultra-violent sequel on September 20th, 2011. Keep it locked right here in terms of the whens and the wheres. When we know, you'll know!
Official Synopsis:
ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 picks up three months after we last left ChromeSkull (Principe) at the end of the original Laid to Rest. Tommy (Dekker), who's struggling to come to terms with his encounter with the masked killer, has now gone missing courtesy of the maniacal Preston (Green), a mysterious player in the sequel with a sinister connection to ChromeSkull. Meanwhile, our killer has set his sights on a new girl, Jess (Michaels), and after the young girl disappears, Detective King (Yeoman) must race against the clock to find her and Tommy before it's too late and try to put an end to ChromeSkull's deadly legacy.

truly beautiful
This member has provided no bio about themself...
truly beautiful
damn thats nice
ummmm just make sure when your using skirmisher that you make the "mission number" 29 and above.....so for example the first mission you make with skirmisher has to be 29, then the next mission you make should be 30 etc........other than that i dont know what you mean
have you downloaded the patch? if not then do so and it should fix any problems you are having, if you already have then i dont know why its doing it
iv never had those problems at all so i cant help you there, maybe try lowering the graphics on your settings and see if that works, ships arnt listed by factions because many ships are used by multiple races but they are grouped together in factions just not by the name,ok they are mostly in alphabetic order in their faction grouping, list is - rebel/new republic, galactic alliance, old republic, mandalorian, zann consortium, fel empire/imperial remnant, galatic empire, galactic republic, sith empire, CIS, others (stations, platforms etc)
veryyy nice :)
your right
exactly what i thought it was when i saw it
the spheres are made up of polygons, oh and great work guys
nice work, i still havent had a proper try at making a model have an animation
your right, i am sorry its just hard to keep track of whos models they are because there are soooo many SW EAW mods that have many different models, Warb_Null maybe if you could please send me a list of models that you created that you think i would most likely have to my email address email@example.com
thanks but its just a picture of a sun that i got off the internet
thanks, i got it working after a little while
good idea but where can i download it, from arparso's website?, i dont remeber the name of the website
OMFG that looks so epic, one of my most favourite ships and now its even better, love the comment on the description btw
thanks and yes they will have trails but they wont be very long, it looks much better having a combination of the glow and the trail because the engines can just glow when the ship is not moving but when it does start moving the trail turns on
yeah i think i get what your saying, at the moment they are actually 2 different colours.....well actually the middile is lighter and the sides are a little bit darker but from a close view they look the same but further away they look different...if that made any sense, i will make the 2 colours be less the same, btw this glow is all done in lightwave so the RGB scales are set up differently to Nexus and to get the acurate glow i have to keep going back and forward between nexus and lightwave....because lightwave wont show the same glow.........ok i really hope you can understand what i just wrote because i cant really discribe it any other way
any ships can look large if theres no comparisons to other ships which is the problem with destiny
just amazing
yeah it might, but still rank 68 out of 13,008 thats pretty good, i think at one stage the score was even better, btw if no one has realized yet the highest rank you can get is 1, the only thing im a littile worried about is the visits arnt as high as i would like but i understand though that mods like stargate war begins have 200,000 visits but they have been around alot longer than this mod
very nice, going to be interesting to see how your going to use them in the mod
yeah deffenetly better than sandbags in the middile of nowhere
btw if you havent figured it out yet the very dark one is a viscount star defender
i cant think of what could be wrong with it but let me know when you figure it out
very good :)
very nice and interesting :)
never mind i just found out how to convert alo to lightwave so now i have sooooooo many more ships to put into the mod :)
badass :)
i didnt get it from any of the star wars empire at war mods, i got it form google 3d warehouse, i would love to be able to convert alo files to lightwave because it would solve so many problems im having with the duration it takes to make a ship from scratch and the difficulty and there are soo many ships that are in empire at war mods that i dont have yet
there is blue windows but they dont show very well and there not on every part of the ship in this model
i always do :)
in action it looks better than most ships, im going to have different guns on it though, they will be darker and squarer
yep but i will have random not connect to each other missions and i will have missions that do relate to each other
well if i ever make it multiplayer it wont happen for a long time and same goes for the singleplayer campaign
very good
very cool
so that means its bigger than the interdictor cruiser, i will have to fix that
i agree with Mularac 100%
i only wish i could do as good as you with making icons
thats an ancient warship from stargate atlantis, you have just changed it a bit. still it is good
just so you know i didnt make this ship
This lucrehulk is no longer designated as the battleship. Its now called the lucrehulk carrier, because now i have three versions , this one, the Lucrehulk battleship which is darker and has the blue strips and the Droid Controlship
thats much better
Ok, with the making a legacy era version by itself i might do it but as long as there is enough ships, space stations etc. With the multi era version some people want to be able to verse for example a Venator cruiser with ARC 170s and MAATs against a Star Destroyer i know that there is little point seeing how that it would be way to unbalanced but i might only put ships in that version that would be able to at least do some damage like the venator but also ships like the Centurion class battlecruiser (ravager). Also yes i mean "Admonitor" but that means all this time i have been spelling it wrong.
So that means that there will be 5 versions of the mod, Kotor and Mandalorian war (also including any ships before the clone wars), Clone wars, Galactic Civil War, Legacy and a Multi Era version.
yes but i didnt even notice it untill you said
Well, home one is slightly smaller than these pictures now but i went by empire at war and i made Home one act like a battlecruiser so that it can almost go up against empire battlecruisers like the Alliegeance SD and Praetor SD. But regular mc80s (which are the same model as home one) are the same size as the mc80 liberty (mon calamari cruiser) which are canon sized to 1,500 meters.
i think the heavy raider should be bigger
finally someone restarted this mod.
great, babylon 5 is awsome.
if you mean balancing ship against ship than for example the MC80 Liberty can take on a ISD but it has better shields and almost the same armaments but worse hull.
if you mean weapons against weapons like if i have a ship with HTLs and Versing a ship with EHTLs (Enhanced Heavy Turbolasers) my HTLs fire one after the other slower than a EHTL but does more damage to hull and a EHTL does less damage to the hull but does more damage to shields.
i hope thats what you mean.
yes as i like to call it a "HTL" Turret - Heavy Turbo Laser Turret
im basing them from eaw but some things i will make to my likeing
not enough engines
how do you uninstall the walking mod that goes with it
because i acksadentaly installed it and it screwed everything up on the editor
alot will have hardpoints but only ships from the Galactic Civil War era and after, because the next release will be "Thrawns Campaign"
i know the ones he is talking about.....they are on the game Star Wars Battlefront 2 and yes they were called Victory class and were very slightly like this ship
i like Tombstone and Misery but they dont fit in with sith ship names like Interdictor and Centurion, heres some other names which might work - Iniquitous, Nefarious, Flagitious (im not too keen on this one though), Caliginous, Tenebrous, Anguish and Wretchedness - those words mean Dark,Sorrow and Wicked, but if i had to pick between Tombstone and Misery i would pick Misery
looks great :)
thanks, im happy the mod turned out well
so it turns out the problem was located in the sound folder, i dont know why but when i removed the un-used sound files the game no longer worked so now i will release a patch that will contain all the sound files just to make sure it works
for some reason i have the same problem now and i cant understand how it changed, what do you mean you added it to the old one?
ok this is a completely new release (not a patch) so dont add it to the old one which is what im sure youv done
nice :), iv always thought that drones should look like railgun fire from a distance and that you have done very well :)
actually the release is getting autherized right now, its only been a month since i posted a picture last and yes its been a year since the last release
hahaha, im glad you like it and i promise that the next release will be much better, at the moment all iv got left to do with it thats ergant is add more missions
yes sorry but there are many glitches on those models i accuired, the new release will be much cleaner then the first
pretty soon
not that it really matters but the dreadnaught has too many windows, but its still good anyway
there are none in the first release but there will be in the next one
ok that is deffenetly the best skin i have ever seen, in the past bulwarks have looked abit goofy in all mods but now it looks like it is the most badass ship going around :), great job
really wish i could help you guys out after all the help youv given me in the past, i have experiance in all of those fields that you need help with but unfortunatly my hands are full working on SWEC and its already taking me ages to release the next version, hope you find the help you need, oh and your mods are looking great btw :)
yes well its not as easy as just to add spawn points....it requires alot of scripting, im not sure when the next version will be released becasue im working almost all the time now but at latest i would say April
hello Shade
my mod isnt dead...its under going a huge make over, the mod dosent have multiplayer yet and may not for a very long time, i aim to acheive putting many battles from the star wars history from all eras.....these battles will range from small skirmishers to large fleet battles, to create a unique feel to it from the other mods, make the mod canon and fanon.
i could be wrong because i never play multiplayer of the game but i dont think it has co-op gameplay.
i did play those games but only for a very short time, if you mean having objectives such as being told to destroy an enemys engines and weapons or exploring from point to point and then sort of stumbling upon enemy ships or they ambush you.......then yes , you also control a ships systems such as weapons, shields, enignes etc but im sure you know that already, the more technical parts of that will be introduced later in the mod but not to far down the road
this is my favourite, the colours work in harmony so well
thanks and yeah i looked there already but it didnt even occur to me to ask there
hey guys just a random question which dosent have anything to do with this mod...if any of you know how to change a ship's BOUNDS could you please PM (personal message) me

Miami Hurricanes baseball team braces for pivotal ACC tournament
UM opens the ACC tournament at 3 p.m. Wednesday against Tuesday's Georgia Tech-Wake Forest winner.
Zack Collins' jersey number and batting average were identical – zero – when the freshman from Pembroke Pines crushed the game-winning, three-run homer Feb. 22 against the Florida Gators.
After going hitless in 17 at-bats as a Miami Hurricane, Collins had his first moment of collegiate glory, but would resume the drought for the next nine at-bats, bringing his average to .037.
On Monday, Collins, hitting .285 with eight home runs, 46 RBI and a .520 slugging percentage, was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Year.
His teammate, left-handed junior ace Chris Diaz (9-0, 2.32 ERA) of Florida City, earned another major award: ACC Co-Pitcher of the Year along with Nathan Kirby (8-1, 1.58) of Virginia.
"We're trying to get this program back to Omaha for the College World Series," said Diaz, 20, a Gulliver Prep alum who has not lost a game he started since his last birthday on May 24, 2013. "It has been a while, and we think it's time to go back and get a ring."
Collins and Diaz were the first UM recipients of their respective awards since pitcher Chris Hernandez was named the ACC Freshman of the Year in 2008, and pitcher Cesar Carrillo was named ACC Pitcher of the Year in 2005.
"It's an awesome feeling," said Collins, 19, a Plantation American Heritage graduate. "Obviously when you have that start and you're really struggling at the beginning of your freshman year there are things going through your mind – is it the college pitching or is it you? I just kept doing my best and knew it would come one day.
"It's almost like a fairy-tale ending to the regular season to get these awards when you start like I did. Now it's time to win the ACC Tournament, get a national seed and go to Omaha and win a national championship."
The Hurricanes (40-15, 24-6 ACC) – ranked as high as third by Collegiate Baseball, sixth by Baseball America and 11th in the USA Today coaches' poll – are preparing to open the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament at 3 p.m. Wednesday against the winner of Tuesday's Georgia Tech (32-24, 14-16) vs. Wake Forest (30-25, 15-15) game.
The tournament, at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C., uses a round-robin format, with the winner of Pool A (No. 1 seed Canes, No. 4 Duke, No. 5 Clemson and winner of Georgia Tech-Wake) facing the winner of Pool B (No. 2 seed FSU, No. 3 Virginia, No. 6 Maryland and the winner of Tuesday's North Carolina-NC State game) for the ACC championship at 1 p.m. Sunday.
UM won national titles in 1982, '85, '99 and '01, but hasn't been to Omaha since 2008. The Canes started 13-12 and have won 27 of their past 30 games to become the hottest team in college baseball, but their RPI as of Monday was 12th. A decent showing in the ACC tourney would help their chances of being named one of eight national seeds for the NCAA baseball tournament that begins with the regionals May 30.
National seeds are guaranteed to host the second round of the tournament – the super regionals – if they win the first round. UM is expected to be named a regional host next Monday.
"I don't think there's any question that [the ACC tournament] is very, very important, because we're kind of on the bubble for a national seed," Morris said Monday.
In addition to Collins' and Diaz's honors Monday, FSU's D.J. Stewart (.362, 47 RBI, .588 slugging) won ACC Player of the Year.
Brian O'Connor, coach of Virginia (43-11, 22-8) won ACC Coach of the Year.
ACC coaches vote for the honorees, but are not allowed to vote for their own players.
The ACC also announced its All-ACC teams Monday.
UM's Diaz was the only player to make the first team, with outfielder Dale Carey (.295), starting pitcher Bryan Radziewski (7-2, 3.14) and closer Bryan Garcia earning second-team honors.
Collins, outfielder Willie Abreu (.299) and pitcher Andrew Suarez (5-3, 3.15) made third-team All-ACC.

Enchantment of the Seas Cruise Review by boston1952: Canada & New England aboard Enchantment of the Seas

Canada & New England aboard Enchantment of the Seas
I sailed on the Enchantment of the Seas on a 9 night Canada & New England sailing. Sailing from Baltimore is really convenient. The port is relatively easy to get to but the parking lot attendants could be a bit more helpful. I ended up driving around the pier twice to drop luggage and then park because the attendant was not clear about which lane to follow - a minor hiccough. Paying for parking was also interesting - you handed your credit card to someone in a parked SUV who used a hand-held card swiper. Check-in itself was a breeze.
The ship was famously stretched about 6 years ago. The problem is that public venues are the same original size so the shows were always crowded with passengers standing or sitting on the stairs in the theater. It is often difficult to find a quiet place during the day away from games, music or some other commotion. Even the Library is located off the Centrum (central Atrium) where there is almost non-stop entertainment.
The staff is More great. The My-Time Dining staff and our waiter Santos were terrific. The food, however, is only fair. Again, nothing horrible but not much exceptional either. The Windjammer buffet is chaotic with several food stations jammed into a small circular area and there always seemed to be long lines of people waiting to get into the main dining room.
The ship is well maintained and in good shape. My cabin was quite comfortable and the stateroom attendant very attentive. I would sail on the ship again, maybe not for 9 days, primarily because of its convenience. Less

Cabin review: Enchantment of the Seas
Standard cabin close to mid-ship. Ample storage space though my suitcase would not slide under the bed. The shower is rather small and the hand-held shower was a pain to aim.

Coating Materials
The billion-dollar-plus boom in nanocoating technology will be getting a closer look as several federally funded studies undertake to study the risks of nanomaterials.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $5.5 million to three consortia to support research on nanotechnology. The grants will help researchers determine whether certain nanomaterials can leach out of coatings, paints, plastics, and fabrics and other products during use or disposal and whether they could become toxic to people and the environment.
Ohio-based MesoCoat Inc.is one of several companiesleading the nanocoatingscharge in protective andmarine applications.
EPA and the UK's Natural Environment Research Council are leading a scientific research effort "to better understand the potential risks to people's health and the environment," EPA said. The scientific information developed from the research can help guide EPA and other agencies in decisions about the safety of new materials and products that are made using nanotechnology.
$1.3B Market
Nanostructured coatings are likely to replace traditional coatings in the medium- to long term in protective, marine and transportation coatings; industrial manufacturing and packaging; and other end-use segments, a new report predicts.
The global market for nanostructured coatings was $1.3 billion in 2010 and should top $3.5 billion by 2015, according to "The World Market for Nanostructured Coatings," recently published by researchandmarkets.com.
Growth is expected across all sectors for the next five to 10 years, led by anti-corrosion coatings for military applications and for oil and gas pipelines.
Properties such as corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, UV stability, gloss retention and chemical and mechanical properties are improved significantly using nanostructured materials, the report notes.
Main end user markets for nanostructured coatings in 2010 included construction and exterior protection (mainly in anti-weathering coatings), military and defense (anti-corrosion coatings for military vehicles and protective textiles for soldiers), and automotive (anti-corrosion, thermal barrier and hydrophobic coatings).
Protective Coatings
"The World Market for Abrasion, Wear and Corrosion Resistant Nanocoatings" totaled $352.4 million in 2010 and is expected to exceed $879.2 million by 2015, according to a second recent study by researchandmarkets.com.
Main markets for these coatings are—and will continue to be—in marine, military, energy (oil and gas pipelines and drilling), aerospace and automotive sectors, where the effects of abrasion, wear and corrosion have a massive financial and safety impact.
Nanostructured coatings provide improved scratch and abrasion resistance, superhardness that rivals diamond in performance, improved wear resistance and toughness properties and comprehensive corrosion inhibition as well as meeting stringent regulatory and safety requirements, the report notes.
'Responsible Development'
Nanotechnology is the science of very small matter called nanomaterials, which are structured in size between 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is 100,000 times thinner than a strand of hair. At extremely small sizes, the laws of physics change and nanomaterials can exhibit unique properties different than the same chemical substances in a larger size. This opens up new opportunities for the development of innovative products and services.
"The responsible development of nanotechnology can play a major role in sustaining a positive, healthy environment; a vibrant and growing economy; and a high standard of living," said Paul Anastas, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development.
"Understanding the risks posed by engineered nanomaterials is a global challenge that is best met through international collaboration, drawing on the combined expertise of researchers from diverse backgrounds."
In addition to EPA's $5.5 million, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has contributed $500,000 through a new research partnership between the two agencies. Grant awards were made to three consortia consisting of researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. Each U.S. team of researchers received $2 million from EPA and CPSC for a total of $6 million. Each U.K. team also receives $2 million from the U.K. agencies, resulting in a grand total of $12 million to conduct the research.

To me, it doesn't seem hard to see.
I don't understand why people don't see it too. It's not really hard I don't think but so many don't get it.
These simple economic arguments remind me of when I used to play online FPS games... They were usually objective based, you either had to protect certain bases or sites or you were attacking them.. Really simple idea right?
Hardly anyone seemed able to figure that out... you might have 3 to 5 on your team that got the idea of it... 3/4 of the rest were always negative scoring while being the positive scores of the other team.
It was hilarious at first but after 15 years of playing FPS's, I realized that the general population are just complete morons and not just because they can't play a game well, I see that kind of stupidity.... Every day of my life.

Earliest Beefsteak
Treating ALL the tomato varieties about the same in one long, long bed isn't such a good idea. I'm staking the plants this year, along with a modified Florida Weave effort.
I immediately ran into a problem with very robust cherries at one end. They have been kicking out a few ripe fruits since July and are really starting to ripen lots, right now!
And, then there was this Casey's Pure Yellow plant.
This is only about 1/3rd of the plant just to show that fruiting truss. The little plant was so weighted down with tomatoes before I could get started with my string that I was going to either tear it apart trying to tie it up or leave it to more-or-less sprawl.
Actually, it was a tiny Thessaloniki right down in the center of that plant that was the first "beefsteak." I don't know what got into that plant - I've never had a fruit off that variety beating out all the others. And, it was all of the size of a ping pong ball.
This Casey's Pure Yellow is going to ripen 1, 2, 3 and just keep going! I'm really quite pleased with how it is trying so hard to ripen the earliest Beefsteak.
I know that areas to the south had a very early and warm spring so things might be different this year. How are things in your Tomato Patch??
This is one of those years I'd just as soon forget....... Absolutely hammered by curly top virus all summer long, I keep pulling plants. Not just the tomatoes, but cucumbers and beans were wiped out. On the positive side, I planted quite a few, so even pulling 60-70%, I still have 20 healthy plants left.
I tried several new varieties - one of interest is 'Cold Set' a determinant with slightly I was able to save seeds from J.D.'s Special Ox Heart before the virus got 'em all. Currently, the only Ox Heart going strong is "Ludwella's Ox heart", but only two out of 8 plants remain.
Thessaloniki seems to have resisted the virus, and while I haven't been paying all that close attention on viral resistance, I do know that it has been my best producer the last 4 years running, so maybe I need to pay better attention.
I still have 10 or so "OTV Brandywine" that are huge and doing what I would expect for a massive beefsteak. That part of the garden dodged the bullet re the virus. Eaten three now, and not bad at all.
We enjoyed eating that ripest Casey's with our sweet corn dinner.
They are very pretty! It weighed right at 8 ounces. That fits with my idea of a beefsteak (my standards aren't high ;o).
Fruit size seemed to be all lined up in order of ripening this year. First came all of the cherries. Then, all of the plums. The Early Girls showed up next - they are too small to be beefsteaks.
BTW David, I think we have Craig LeHoullier to thank for the OTV Brandywine. And, Craig going on quite a bit about Casey's Pure Yellow was what prompted me to order the seeds. It is suppose to be a "mid-season" variety but I picked 3 ripe tomatoes off that plant and some of the Early Girls have produce, like, one.
I luv a productive tomato plant! The Woodle's Orange are even more loaded than Casey's.
I looked at your temps, David. Yep, your overnights tend to have a few less 60's than here. But, a 70? We aren't going to have one of those either.
salad course & dessert . . .
Casey is Jeff Casey in Airdrie/Calgary. He has a nice online catalog. Now, what should I do about it being orange and not yellow?
Here is a link that might be useful: Casey's Heirloom Tomatoes
Steve, if you've grown oxhearts, many of them will have a golden top - its like that.
They do taste good this year. :-). I've grown them for at least 15 years now, but some years, the taste is better than others.
I was squeezing the seeds from 5 tomatoes today, and can verify seeds are few and far between. I have 12-odd plants going, isolated on the far side of the property, and I'll harvest some more seed every time I pick.
The BLT was good. Whole wheat toast, Best Foods mayo, 3 strips crisp bacon, and basil instead of lettuce. My daughter thinks she'll have on for dinner.

About a year ago Stabila introduced a newly designed spirit level, the R Beam Level. Tools of the Trade sent us some and we've been using them since last spring. Instead of being box-shaped, like standard levels, these have a cross-section shaped like a capitalized "R". There are a few advantages to this design. It provides three sharp edges that can be used to draw or scribe straight lines. And the curved edge makes the level comfortable to grip. Basically, the entire length of the tool is a grip—there is no need for hand holes.
Stabila claims these levels are 120% stronger without saying stronger than what. That's okay; it's clear from handling these tools that they are heavier and more rigid than most other levels. We've had them for less than a year so it's hard to know how durable they will be long-term. But we've used Stabila levels for close to 20 years and if these are anything like previous models from that company then they should hold up fine.
I like the smooth finish on the body of the level and the way the curve is cut back at the vials so they are easier to read at an angle. The vials are locked in place with epoxy so like previous models from Stabila; they should remain accurate over time. These levels are so solid we don't feel the need to baby them—so we don't.
After months of using R Beam Levels we have come to love them. We were given 8-, 6-, 4-, and 2-foot models. It's too bad they don't make a 5-foot level because that's a handy length to have. We use the 6- and 8-foot models the most. The 8-foot model is good for checking ridge posts and plumbing walls up to 12 feet tall (though for that task a plate level would be preferable). The 6-footer is good for plumbing cripple walls and we use it as a straight-edge marking out sheathing cuts when it's too wet to use a chalk line. This works even when the sheathing is curled because the R Beam is stiff enough that I can push down on it and the plywood or OSB will flatten out long enough for me to draw the line.
R Beam levels are pricey. Online I've seen the 6-foot model for $210 and the 8-foot model for $260. That's a lot to pay for a level but worth it if you use the tool every day and need it to be sturdy and accurate. The levels come with a lifetime warranty; if a vial leaks, fogs, or becomes inaccurate Stabila will replace that tool for free (though if you bend the body you are on your own).

Should I paint over the hardwood foors?
I have a 1946 prep-fab bungalow house that was built near Dobbins AFB/Lockheed Martin in Marietta, GA to house workers at the Lockheed plant during WWII.
Before I purchased the house two years ago, the seller had the carpet ripped up and the hardwood floors refinished. Not only did they do a so-so job with the sander (they went down so far in some spots that they had to use a wood filler), but she had them put an oil finish on the floor instead of a polyurethane.
My dogs (and me, ok, I admit it) get water and wet "stuff" on the floor all the time. I try to keep it dry, but everywhere it gets wet it turns white. I've been told that once a hardwood floor has had an oil finish applied, the only way to refinish it is to sand it again and apply a sealer. Considering the workers almost scalped it the first time, I'm scared to death to do anymore sanding.
That leaves me with painting. I don't have a problem with painting over hardwood. I love the floors, but I can't deal with the water spots all over the place. Do you think painted wooden floors would be appealing in a 1000 sq ft bungalow? Seems to me like it's the perfect kind of house to do it in, but this is my first home so I don't always make informed decisions.
Have you thought about an area rug? To me, The idea of painting the hardwood just sounds wrong. How long do you plan to stay in your house? You mention it's your first house, so I gather you'll be wanting to move eventually. You might want to consider the re-sale-ability of a house with a painted hardwood floor. Oh, I know it could be removed, but I think more people would appreciate a clean hardwood floor, rather than painted. You can always send a rug out to be cleaned, or buy a new one, but once that floor is painted, it's painted until you get down and remove it.
I was going to suggest using an area rug too. I think they improve the acoustics and comfort-level of the room. And since your house is small, you probably won't need very large rugs, so they'll be much less expensive. Consider a nice indoor/outdoor and you won't need to worry about your dog. :)
I was told it was a "European oil finish" and that the only way to remove the spots is to sand the floor down and apply more oil. I spent the first 6 months in the house with brown oil coming off on all my white socks.
I agree that an area rug would be nice, but I have 3 small dogs who use pee pads. Anything that looks like a pee pad (including bed side rugs, kitchen sink mats, etx) is considered fair game for peeing. Also, the entire house is hardwood so I couldn't really use rugs all over the place. I've seen pictures of painted wooden floors in "cottagie" style houses and I think it looks really good.
It is your house, so you can do anything you want with it. Just remember that your choices can impact your ability to sell it down the line. I'm sure there are some people who would love painted wood floors, but for your average buyer today, that would be a huge negative.
I definitly prefer hardwood to painted floors in the main living areas of a home. It would make me think twice about purchasing a home, especially depending on how they are painted.
However, on the third floor of our 1898 home, where the floors had clearly always been painted, I painted over the brown in a checkerboard pattern and really really love it. My advice would be to not use the porch enamel floor paint that is suggested but to paint with regular latex paint and then use polyurethane over it. I used the porch enamel paint, and while I love the look, it is not at all durable. The third floor of our home is where our family room is and it gets lots of running around with our three children, etc. We seem to be constantly moving furnature and it scratches up occasionally (with good reason sometimes, but a seal over it would prevent it). I'm not sure how that would work with your current finish, but thought I'd throw it out there.
Good luck with your choices!
Since the finish on the floor is problematic -- oil, or whatever -- it might be possible to do a LIGHT sanding to get it off and then apply polyurethane. Or, if the finish they put on is a penetrating sealer, it might still be possible to put polyurethane on top of it.
I agree that painting the floor would adversely affect the resale value of your house. I think most prospective buyers would say, How much will it cost to get this off, or will I have to put a fresh wood floor over it?
Unfortunately, resale value isn't of much concern in my situation. The neighborhood I'm in isn't an "up and coming" place. Any potential buyers would probably be glad the floor is intact!
I had considered the checkerboard painting style I've seen in cottage magazines. I know if I were looking at the house to buy today, the condition of the floor would put me off. If it were painted a nice, neutral color with a durable finish, like you suggested, I think it would improve the look of the house. I guess I could try to put a sealer over an inconspicious corner and see how it comes out.
It sounds like your floor has wax, not oil on it, european or not oil wouldn't come up for months and it wouldn't turn white.
The same problems arise with oil and paint. Especially if you have wax or any oil that's sitting on top of the surface (you have one or the other). The paint won't stick to it either and frankly you'll have a much worse mess!!
Whatever it is, paint or stain, it's going to need to come off before you go any further. I'd experiment with a wax remover first and see what happens in a back corner. If that does nothing, than you can try something that might get that surface oil up (deep cleaner for wood floors). You have to get rid of all lose residue before you go any further, and since you have to go that far...you might as well stain and poly verses painting, since you'll have the same base to start with.
I was going to say also that paint won't stick. I wonder where you could relliably get a professional opinion? Or are there some bottles of the stuff they used in your basement? Could the realtor help you find out exactly what the product is? Colonial days unfinished wood floors were cleaned with lye soap and for some reason that makes me wonder if there is something that would clean up the oil enough to refinish. If you know exactly what you have you may be able to get advice from the company that created the product. Almost sounds to me like the FO skipped a step, the final one hopefully. Sanding oil would be a real mess also.
Unrelated to your problem, I saw a program on hgtv recently where they painted a decent wood floor with epoxy garage paint. It looked like plastic, I was horrified.
Good luck and be sure to let us know what you do.
I googled 'european oil finish'; it seems it's usually a mix of various veg oils & wax that penetrate & harden in the wood. My guess is that the wood has to be perfectly bare in order to absorb this finish & your floor wasn't when the PO applied the oil - therefore it never fully penetrated nor cured. (Mixing wax & oil doesn't seem like an ideal situation for hardening, either but that's just my opinion). Maybe you can contact a maker of one of these oil finishes & find out what magic solvent is necessary to dissolve the unhardened finish. I'd also try turpentine on a small section to see if that has any effect.
I think I'll see my artist today (he did all of my walls and woodwork). He specializes in old world finishes (went to college for it LOL) so along with doing really fabulous work, he knows more than any human being about getting rid of bad finishes. I'll ask him about the wax and oil finish and see what he recommends to get it off. Worst case, I'll see him on Monday and can ask him then.
I certainly wouldn't paint and don't think you have to.
If you want poly and you currently have wax, strip off the wax with mineral spirits. Make sure you get it all off, then finish with what you want.
Depending on what type of oil you have on the floors, putting a poly over it may not be a problem...just need to find one that is compatible (i.e. oil based). Ask in your local paint store. Clean the floor with mineral spirits & finish. I use BLO under a wipe on oil based poly finish on furniture all of the time.

OT - Food
I know this is not the cooking forum, but I have a good recipe to share. Quick and easy cleanup. Some of you may have tried variations of it. It was a hit at a meeting we had.
Burger and Veggie Packs
WhereÂs the beef? ItÂs tucked in a foil packet filled with all kinds of tasty veggies!
Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 55 min
Makes: 4 servings
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups frozen sugar snap peas, carrots, onions and mushrooms (from 1-pound bag)
32 frozen steak fries (from 28-ounce bag)
4 Green Giant® Nibblers® frozen half-ears corn-on-the-cob
1/2 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend
1. Heat oven to 450º. Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of aluminum foil.
2. Mix beef, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend, the onion powder and salt. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Place 1 patty on each foil sheet about 2 inches from 12-inch side. Top each with 1/2 cup vegetables and 8 steak fries. Place 1 piece of corn next to each patty. Divide remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic-pepper blend among vegetables. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.Place packets on large cookie sheet.
4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Place packets on plates. To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil.
OH Sounds Yummy. Tell me more about Garlic pepper. Do you make it up or can a person buy it? Remembering back about 100 years ago there was something in Girl Scouts we used to make like this. What a PERFECT thing to leave for my Joe on days I have to work. This is something good to have handy he could fix to eat. Or make them up for me to cook fast when I get home from work starving. He can drop them in the oven when I am getting close to leaving the office.
Thanks Loretta!!!
Mama I think maybe it was something like that. Was a staple for over nights. We all looked forward to making and cooking them and the slightly burned edges. Hehehehe. I AM going to make some of these up for sure. We need to go shopping for the things to add to them and I will do an assembly line of half a dozen or so. Hubby will love them ,me too.Read the recipe to him and he said oh yah!!! Lets do it.= ME do it but it can not be too hard.
Thanks again Loretta.
Yes, they are the same packs the scouts use on camping trips. Some people use chicken strips instead of beef. The potatoes end up really yummy! If you make the burgers too thick, they will not be well-done in the middle.
Chris, you can buy garlic pepper, but you can substitute any type of seasonings you like.
My friends all say I'm a picky eater, but I do like to try recipes. I'm looking for one with spinach, if anyone has a good one.

Replacing a storm door..
My storm door was removed when a new entry door was put on. Didn't realize it right at first but the next day when it was sitting in the garage I noticed the bottom corner was broken. The workers said nothing so I waited. At long last my siding and roofing is done and my eyes turned back toward the storm door, wondering what they planned to do. I thought they might offer to split the cost of a new one with me. they got everything done except for putting up the door, so before they put it up broken, I left them a note asking what had happened to it. Today, I recieved my final bill from the contractor and at the bottom of the bill it said that since they had wrapped the trim, the door no longer fit. What should they do? Now I have a double problem. A too wide door and a broken bottom. Looks like it's on me now. How do I measure for that and how much more expensive is like say a 35" door? Thanks in advance...
When you put in a new entrance door the storm door will never go back on. They should have told you that. I've been putting in doors for 30 years and the old storm door has never been reinstalled.
Go out and buy a new storm door. If part of the contract included the installation of a storm door, don't pay them until they finish the job. But get the door soon.
Thanks for the reply. The installer called me back and said since they wrapped the trim around the front door, the old door would no longer fit. I needed 35x80, a custom door. So I went off with my measurements yesterday and was told that a custom door depending on style would end up costing 5-6 hundred dollars! That's quite an upcharge! So I called the installer again and asked him if he could remove the wrap, install the door and then rewrap the trim. He said yes he could do that. So I picked out a reasonably priced door and it came home with me. Hopefully the installation will go well. Thanks again!
