Andersen window identification
I was hoping someone could help me identify these windows. They are andersen, single pane glass, have the nylon cords on each side and plastic jamb liners on each side. they have the recessed lift handle and are wood sashes inside and out. I attached some pictures to help. I looked all over the internet and can only find how to identify newer andersen windows. I think the windows may be narroline from 1983, but not sure. The home was build around 1985 I believe and the windows seem original. I am looking at possibly getting the conversion kit if this window accepts them. I was looking at replacement windows but EVERY review I read said something different. One says certainteed are great, another says they suck...same with every brand!! Thank you for any help you could provide. I have a few pictures but could only upload one...I can email the other few if needed. This pic is a close up of the AW logo and numbers.
I did more research and found that the XI may mean that it is actually double pane glass. It looks pretty thin, but I guess it could be double. I tried measuring the glass but it does not match the Andersen charts exactly. The width seems to be 32 1/2" or just a hair over that and the height is just about 24". One site said that he conversion was cheaper than getting new windows...the model I think it is showed the conversion kit at $439!!! it may be a model 3046.
This is the Narroline Double Hung with clear I.G. made in Feb. 1983. The glass has no air spacer as the edges are fused together. It has a clockspring balance in the head jamb. Check with Andersen for replacement sash with an upgrade in glass or a sash replacement kit.
The Narrowlines are actually pretty solid units.
Is there anything wrong with the windows? What is the impetus for the replacement? If you think you are going to save a bunch via energy, upgrade you insulation and do some air sealing first.
The Narrowlines tend to stay pretty darn air tight.
If they are just old and junked up, the sash replacements are an option as well.
They are pretty solid and don't seem drafty. They were just old and we are getting the room ready for a nursery and were thinking about upgrading. Since there seems to be no quality replacement windows, we decided to keep these and clean them up...new coat of paint, clean the glass well and replace the lock and handle with new white ones to dress it up. Going to put some grilles on them as well. Until I find a quality window, these will do just fine. Thanks for everyones help.
I wouldn't cease your search because there no quality replacements out there. There certainly are great replacements out there.
The point of my inquiry was to make sure you were making the investment for the right reasons.
You will gain some efficiency but not as much as you think when going from double pane, to double pane with Low-e argon.

Diamond Plastic Training Baseballs 3 3
High Quality Whiffles! These wiffle balls are much better than the ones my teams have broken in the past. The plastic is higher quality than other brands and they will probably last longer. We Just started using them, but if they last the summer I will order 30 more. March 9, 2013
Balls are breaking and splitting way too soon After buying two sets of these balls and using some of them for one session of a workout with two players, I noticed a few of the balls were already splitting in the center after soft toss drills. February 11, 2013
Since my team has started to use the Diamond Training Balls we have gained .200 points on our team batting average in just 3 weeks. June 5, 2012

Bulk mailers making HTML content of their messages more difficult for filters to catch and for individuals to pick out. Discussion: Sould we declare all HTML mail bad anyway?
Brilliant idea. It's potentially risky (javascript, 'hidden' white-on-white links) and anti-social. I've been refusing it for many years; very healthy. See: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~piet/mailnotes-en.html Effectiveness of the HTML-filter alone: some 70%.
The chair pointed out that HTML content is the default behaviour for many current mail programs and _is_ considered useful by individuals and corporations who may never have known 'plain text' mail.
My experience is that "useful" only stands for "appearance is more important for us than content". But it's never too late to learn...
If all HTML content is filtered or blocked the bulk mailers will change to something else.
That remains to be seen. In part they will, but the problem is that plaintext mail looks less spiffy than HTML mail. But if they change their strategy, so will the filters. Ad infinitum... Piet

Great Value
Pros: Price, Build quality, RCA Output line, Jack output
Cons: Color-Design
Nice quality, and great audio!!
Pros: Price, Build quality, RCA Output line, Jack output
Cons: Color-Design
Nice quality, and great audio!!
Pros: design, build quality, warm sound
Cons: not for all genres
Pros: Build, Appearance, amount of inputs and outputs, sound
Cons: I'm not sure if the tube is easily exchangeable
Sometimes, we as audio enthusiasts want new gear to power our favorite headphones, but can't afford to spend too much.
Enter Bravo Ocean
This hybrid tube amplifier is a gem for anyone on a budget that wants the renowned sound that a tube can bring. At $130, the Bravo Ocean is truly spectacular.
I normally find myself using this amp to power my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro and Takstar Hi2050. Usually, I find the Hi2050 to be a bit cold and boring, but with the Bravo Ocean amp powering it, the sweet tube sound gives them the warmth that I feel they need.
Now, with an already warm-ish headphone like the DT770, the Bravo Ocean does not make the sound become boomy or anything, however it does still add a bit of warmth, which I personally find beneficial.
Build - The Bravo Ocean is a stunning piece of gear, be it in terms of anything, including looks and build. The Ocean is very well made in my opinion.
The body consists of smooth brushed aluminum colored in a cyan hue with a couple stripes near the middle that extend to both ends. The front and back panels are of the same kind of aluminum, except colored black. There's a metal bar that loops around the tube itself. I find the whole presentation to be gorgeous.
The front has both a 1/4" and 1/8" headphone out. I assume the small jack is for IEMs, but it can also be used with anything that has a 1/8" termination. The volume knob, also in aluminum, and the on/off switch are on the front as well.
The back has the power supply port, a 1/8" line-in, an RCA line-in, and an RCA line-out. I normally use the RCA over the 1/8" jack for whatever reason.
Images (Click to show)
The Bravo Ocean has a 500mW output power, so it can power just about anything, including low-impedance dynamics. My Hi2050 is 64 Ohm, and it powers it perfectly. With the 16 Ohm dynamic IEMs that I tested, they seemed to be a little sloppy, but I still loved how they sounded.
Sound - As mentioned earlier, the Bravo Ocean has a warm sound signature. This is to be expected, as the Ocean uses a vacuum tube. I think that anything plugged into this amp sounds better.
Overall, I would give this amp a full 10/10 in performance and value. I don't think you could go wrong with it.
Pros: Compact size, large and small heaphone jacks, build quality, line out
Cons: Not quite sure on the colour
I was searching for a budget tube headphone amp and this one caught my eye just because of the colour and shape. There was very little in the way of reviews for this I could find other than a utube clip.
Having had Cmoy type amps and a few solid state amps in the $100-$200 running off a cowon S9 with various audio technica and sennheiser headphones I could not get the sound i was looking for.
Took a risk and brought this little amp and I am very glad i did.
In my view this made my ATH-a700 and ATH-M50s sound significantly better than being driven straight from source.
The bass and sound stage depth appeared much better and i found myself listening and getting more involved in the music for hours at a time.
I think this is a great value amp which has a very rich and smooth tube sound- at this price you should not be dissapointed

Elegant, romantic and expensive, this baroque dining room inside the famous Heidelberg castle specializes in Ente von Heidelberg (roast duck), but there's always something new on the seasonal menu. Whatever you order, pair it with a bottle from the extensive selection of international wines. Less pricey is the adjacent Bistro Backhaus, which has rustic furnishings and a nearly 50-foot-high Backkamin (baking oven). Light fare as well as coffee and cake are
served indoors and on the shaded terrace. You can sample rare wines (Eiswein, Beerenauslese) by the glass in the shared wine cellar, or pick up a bottle with a designer label depicting Heidelberg. Reservations are essential for terrace seating in summer.

The UUU Tour hits New Hampshire! Amber of Daydreaming Beauty has had the opportunity to experience the Unguentarium from The Mini Museum.
Amber has this to say about Helena, and Helena MMXIV:
"Both versions of Helena start with a strong floral opening, a wet rose that is earthy and warm. MMXIV is slightly lighter and more metallic to my nose. After the dry down, both Helena perfumes are rich, luxurious and invoke a "golden" feel. MMXIV isn't quite as strong, and if I had to compare it to a modern day perfume, I'd say it would fit in well with Chanel Les Exclusifs. The scents are both long lasting. The original Helena lasts a bit longer, due to it's perfume oil base. I will treasure both samples of the Helena perfume, and truly appreciate the opportunity to take part in this one of a kind program!"
Many thanks to Amber for participating, and for the lovely reviews of both Helenas :)

Scientists find dome of 'violent' submarine volcano off the coast of Baja, California
Posted on December 14, 2012
December 14, 2012 – CALIFORNIA – Scientists have discovered one of the world's weirdest volcanoes on the seafloor near the tip of Baja, Mexico. The petite dome — about 165 feet tall (50 meters) and 4,000 feet long by 1,640 feet wide (1,200 m by 500 m) — lies along the Alarcón Rise, a seafloor-spreading center. Tectonic forces are tearing the Earth's crust apart at the spreading center, creating a long rift where magma oozes toward the surface, cools and forms new ocean crust. Circling the planet like baseball seams, seafloor-spreading centers (also called mid-ocean ridges) produce copious amounts of basalt, a low-silica content lava rock that makes up the ocean crust. But samples from the newly discovered volcano are strangely rhyolite lava, and have the highest silica content (up to 77 percent) of any rocks collected from a mid-ocean ridge, said Brian Dreyer, a geochemist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The results were presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Researchers with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) discovered the volcano this spring, during a three-month expedition to the Gulf of California, the warm stretch of water that separates Baja from mainland Mexico. A remote-control vehicle explored the volcano, which is 7,800 feet (2,375 m) below the surface, and brought samples back to the ship. "When we picked up the rocks and got them back on the ship, we immediately noticed that they were very low density, and they were very light, glassy and gray. They were not the usual dark, black, shiny basalts," Dreyer told OurAmazingPlanet. "So we immediately knew that something was unusual." The volcano is primarily rhyolite and a silicic lava called dacite, said MBARI geologist Jennifer Paduan. "To find this along a mid-ocean ridge is a total surprise," she told OurAmazingPlanet. Boulders and blocks the size of cars and small houses littered the steep slopes of the dome, the robot's video camera showed. Of more concern is the evidence for explosive volcanism, which is typical of rhyolite volcanoes, Paduan said. "It's only 100 kilometers [60 miles] from land. When the sun is setting, you can see Cabo," she said. Both the Baja Peninsula and mainland Mexico near Alarcón Rise have cities and luxury resorts. The Gulf of California is also home to endangered sea life. Rhyolite lava carries more gas and volatiles (things that are likely to cause explosions) than basalt, and when magma meets water, it vaporizes instantly, driving an even more explosive eruption. "There's definitely explosive deposits there, and that is of extreme concern, given that the ridge is so close to land and the tsunami potential of a big explosion there," Paduan said. "We don't know how explosive, and that is something we are definitely trying to figure out." Rhyolites have been found on spreading centers, but only above hot spots, such as in Iceland and the Galapagos Islands, Dreyer said. Hot spots are plumes that bring magma to the surface from deep within Earth's mantle. There is no hot spot under the Alarcón Rise, he said. Rhyolite lava typically occurs only on continents, such as in Mount St. Helen's growing dome in Washington. One possible explanation for the bizarre composition of the Alarcón dome is that continental crust snuck into the molten rock below — the spreading center is young, and continental crust lies close by. But tests of different isotopes (versions of elements with differing numbers of neutrons in the cores) in the lava samples revealed no evidence of contamination by continental crust, Dreyer said. –OAP
Strange indeed. We have volcanoes here in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of lava they spew asphalt.

Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia (Tourist: In the world of Elementalia) is the Philippines' first all-digital full-length animated feature film by Cutting Edge Productions, advertised as "tradigital", a mix of traditional animation with 3D animation. It reinvents ghastly images of Philippine mythical creatures into heartwarming characters in a young boy's adventure. This $1.3 million (roughly PHP 58 million) production composed of over 500 local animators features a "tra-digital animation" technique using paperless 2D and 3D technologies. It has 2D animation for its characters and 3D animation for the backdrops.
The production team of Dayo spent several months developing the story, mood, and the whole package of the animation. While writing the script, the writers consulted a book on local mythology by Maximo Ramos entitled Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology. Compared to the usual three-year completion of a traditional full-length animation, this film aimed to be finished within a short span of two years.
Dayo is written by Artemio Abad, Jr. and Eric Cabahug and directed by Robert Quilao. It is among the eight movies (and the first of movie of its kind) that was screened during the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival in December 2008.
The story revolves around Bubuy who has to save his grandparents who were abducted and brought to the strange land called Elementalia, which is home to a host of strange creatures from Philippine mythology. It was an official entry to 34th Metro Manila Film Festival.
Dayo is a heartwarming story of overcoming one's fear and succeeding over adversity. The plot revolves around Bubuy (voiced by Nash Aguas) who is out to save his abducted grandparents in the land of Elementalia, a magical and mystical world that houses many of the Philippines' mythical creatures and other enchanted elements. This locally produced animated film aims to reintroduce the other side of mythical creatures like the tikbalang, kapre, manananggal, and aswang by giving a new dimension to these typically reviled creatures.
According to executive producer Jessie Lasaten, the film required the work of over five hundred artists and took two years to complete. The film's entry into the Metro Manila Film Festival proved to be problematic when the screening committee rejected the script written by Temi Abad, Jr. and Eric Cabahug. The committee challenged Cutting Edge Productions to prove that Dayo was financially viable. Dayo's soundtrack used full orchestration from Gerard Salonga and FILharmoniKA. In addition, Lea Salonga performed the movie's theme's song "Lipad".[1]
Dayo's budget was revealed to be $1,300,000.[2]

- Carl John Barrameda as Arvi
- Igi Boy Flores as Mark
- James "Moymoy" Obeso as Tiyanak
- Rodfill "Roadfill" Obeso as Tiyanak
Dayo was given a grade of "A" by the Cinema Evaluation Board, which allowed the producers a 100% amusement tax rebate. It was also endorsed by the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd) and the National Council for Children's Television. The film was praised for presenting elements derived from folklore, myths, pop culture in the Philippine perspective. Its soundtrack and voice acting marked other strong points. On the technical side, however, flaws on animation rendering and shading were noted.[3] Most notably, Dayo received praise for its cel-animated portrayal of Manila as well as its catchy presentation of Filipino culture.[4]
Box-Office results[edit]
- P1,200,000 (December 25, 2008)[5]
- P2,200,000 (December 26, 2008)[6]

Fix Viking Sewing Machine 6570
Could anyone please help me to find a person to fix my Viking Sewing Machine 6570 made by Viking Husqvarna?
The machine was a gift from my mother. I remember it cost her more than $900.00 in '81. In retrospect, I really did not deserve such a good machine giving my low sewing skills. I was a stay at home mother when kids were young; I sewed tons of clothes and home decorating items.
I then went back to work; in the early years I still used it to sew some of my work clothes and for home. Then got too busy to sew and noticed the machine has quit working. It has been kept in closet for the last 15 years.
Where can I find a person who could fix this machine? I am in Phoenix AZ. This is such a good mchine and has so many wonderful memories tie to it, I want to use it again.
I will cross post this question in the Sewing forum.
Thank you in advance for all the suggestions.
In the midwest, JoAnn's leases space to Viking dealerships. You might check this out to see if this relationship carries over to Arizona. A fabric store would at least be able to give you names of repairmen. A local store may be better with references than a chain for this.
When I googled viking sewing machine repair in Phoenix, I got many hits. You could check this out as well.
Good luck with this, I own 4 vikings and love them all.
Ditto what rnmom said, here in Maine Joanne's is salesfloor and connection to Viking/Husqvarna trained service people. I think it is the same in AZ. My mom is near Peoria, AZ and we have been to that Joann's together and I am pretty sure that while we were there I showed her my lovely Husqvarna which my DH bought me a few years ago.
Check out the Husqvarna site below, put in your zip code and a list of service centers should pop up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Husqvarna stores
All of the Viking dealers have repair people that they use. Just take the machine to your dealer and they'll take care of things from there.
I have a Husquvarna Viking and LOVE the service I get from my dealer (which is one of the leased locations inside a JoAnns). :)
You ladies are awesome! Thank you so much for your responses and suggestions.
Years ago I replaced sewing machine's electrical cord the dog chewed on it - good thing the machine was unplugged. At the time I also checked Jo-Anne and Hancock, but only found one store that specialized in Viking. Since then the store went out of business. It never occurred to me that Jo-Anne has became one of the Husqvarna dealers.
I will go to Jo-Anne today. Thank you again for the help especially for the suggestion of using Viking trained repair technician.
hi AZmom,
I just caught this post. Did you ever succeed in getting your 6570 tuned up? Vikings are notorious for seizing up when not in regular use, so it may just require a good dusting and oiling.
I confess I have 3 of these older Viking Husqvarnas; they are really irreplaceable, made in Sweden of all metal. You will never find that quality today even in very expensive new sewing machines, so please don't chuck it even if you can't find a local dealer, they still have high value. You can easily get a few hundred for it on eBay.
In Maine, too, there are Viking dealers in some of the Joann Fabric stores, but some independents exist as well.
I particularly adore this vintage Viking 6000 series for the dual gear drive that's excellent for heavier-duty sewing tasks like drapery and upholstering. (Can't recall off-hand if the 6570 has the second gear, it's a pull-out knob on the bottom right side of the machine.) They can sew leather upholstery like nobody's business; if you do a lot of home decor, it's the best all-purpose machine to have outside a commercial upholstery model.
Plus, they're just so darned purty. Is yours white or red? :)
Circuspeanut - Yes, she got it fixed.
You say, "I have 3 of these older Viking Husqvarnas; they are really irreplaceable, made in Sweden of all metal. " ... which is totally not true. I have an old Viking (6000 series) and the PLASTIC cam for the zig-zag width control broke.
Finding a new cam is not easy, but one is on the way via eBay.
Yes, sorry, Lazy, I meant the machine and motor itself was made of metal. Replacement stitching cams are usually easy to find on eBay and etsy; some are more used and thus more desirable than others, like your zig-zag. I have a zillion extra ones rolling around somewhere in a drawer since I rarely use any of the duckie-type stitches. :)

bringing out silvery color in heucheras?
I see a lot of discussion about bringing out the best colors in heuchera, but I can't seem to find out anything about encouraging the silver. Does anyone have any insight on sun vs shade for really bringing out the silver? I suspect it's shade, since most of the (non fuzzy) silvery plants I can think of are shade plants (lamium, pulmonaria, cyclamen) but I thought I would ask before planting. Thanks!
Not all heucheras are shade plants or even shade lovers. Many of the species are native to prairies, rocky, mountainous areas and woodland verges, in addition to those that prefer the more shaded, woody areas. And since most modern heuchera cultivars are hybrids with some seriously mixed parentage, ideal siting can also tend to be very mixed. IME, the slivery cast of some cultivars tends to be enhanced more with cold temperatures than with sun/shade but in general, coloring is intensified with a fair amount of sun, although avoidance of hot afternoon sun may be best.
In our climate, the only heuchs that seem to really thrive in much shade are those with the very pale chartreuse or yellow foliage. All others seem to struggle and appear with minimal or washed out coloring.

What Religion is Your Bra???
Well, since were allowed now to talk politics without being sent to Disney, let's talk about religion too ;)
A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."
"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?"
"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable.
"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from."
Relieved, the man asked about the types.
The saleslady replied:
"There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types.
Which one would you prefer?"
Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.
The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...
The Catholic type supports the masses.
The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen,
The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, and
The Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills.
Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes?
If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed!
(A) Almost Boobs...
(B) Barely there.
(C) Can't Complain!
(D) Dang!
(DD) Double dang!
(E) Enormous!
(F) Fake.
(G) Get a Reduction.
(H) Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up !
They forgot the German bra:
Uuhhh . . . a man here . . . and this thread's title was just too tempting. Coming from all of you it was just what I expected, clean and entertaining. Especially funny for me because people hardly ever say "dang" around here, and the last time I heard it was from a Mormon Elder. Need I say more?

Blood Diamond
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Bloody and (literally) gritty. However, it manages to make the stale premise of the crook-turned-Robin-Hood quite credible.
The film feels slow in terms of pacing for a bit of time but after it attains momentum. There is an interesting backdrop, some well staged action sequences, and a good supporting performance from Djimon Hounsou.
With an excellent script and an impressive cast, this film about the dirty business of diamonds is must-see for everyone.
Want to skip out of a diamond ring? Ask your future wife to see this movie. :P
Fast paced action thriller.
This movie does have it's moments. Djimon Hounsou is truly terrific as he delivers a very powerful and convincing performance. His Oscar nomination was well deserved. DiCaprio is OK, but I didn't really believe him as an ex mercenary and Jennifer Connelly, as gorgeous as she is, didn't have nearly enough to do. I would recommend everyone check this out at least once.
Well made story of the sometimes violent and seedy side of the diamond trade.The human suffering makes one realize that diamonds should not be a girl's best friend, at least diamonds mined by slavery.
Astoundingly violent, but well portrayed story of where the bling on your ears really comes from.
Anybody who wants to buy a Diamond for a loved one, should watch this movie, and think about where it came from.
Very good historical drama.
Very touching! And it makes you more aware of what you buy and where it really comes from.
Exquisite and deeply moving. You will never look at a diamond in the same way.

Don't remember who coined the phrase Peter Pan Politics but I love it. It refers to Peter Pan telling kids that if they believed strongly enough, they could fly too.
In this case, however, it refers to President Obama seeming to say that if we raise taxes so the government can grow everyone will become successful in life. Where have I heard this before?
Oh yes, I remember. 90 years ago, the Russian Communists took control and they too had their day in the sun with Peter Pan Politics. We all know, or should know, Communism failed entirely and the only rich folks that came out of it were the political rulers.

"Suspended particles and materials of high molecular weight are unable to pass through the 0.2 micron UF membrane, leaving you with only fresh clean water and dissolved minerals." WINNING!!
Minerals we like for brewing, the rest gets left behind.
Meh, I know several master brewers from different micro-breweries in the chicagoland suburbs and none of them do anything to the water. They make some damn good beer too.
Maybe I'll move up to 10 microns, let in a few more cysts for flavor. I hear spores compliment IPA's quite well too. What size are those?
IMO, the risk (with my water source) of having a negative impact on my brews is higher than I'm comfortable with. For the little money it took to get the filter system, and have it installed, I have zero concerns about something getting into my water. Be that from a fluke incident, or by design.
Of course, people get lucky with different water all the time. I'm just not willing to roll the dice on this.

It seems as if Kim Kardashian is finally tired of appearing with an endless entourage of family members in tow, according to her new interview with Elle Magazine.
In a new feature with Elle's March Issue, while promoting her new Tyler Perry movie 'Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor', Kardashian opens up about her so-called entourage, saying, "I travel alone. I don't have an entourage and I'm sick of my family right now and they're my only entourage!" Her family might not be too happy to hear that, but her explanation is a valid and reasonable one as she says, "I like to vibe out by ourselves and sometimes when you have lots of people there, it gets in the way."
Kim also explains that she welcomes feedback, saying, "I love being transformed and I love your vision of who you think I am - that's always so inspiring for me and so interesting seeing someone's take on me."
While that's all well and good, public feedback on Kim Kardashian is often negative, whether fairly or unfairly for being a reality star. Despite all this, she has managed to leverage the Kardashian name into a brand worth millions of dollars, and has been cast in a Tyler Perry movie, something even most working actors would consider a feat. Let's hope that she has more of an actual role than what she had in 'Disaster Movie'.

It can't be easy being Adam Lambert these days. Sure, he's living everyone's rock 'n' roll fantasy by fronting the rock icons in Queen on a cross-country arena tour. On the surface his life seems to rule in a major way, but I began to think again as I approached Madison Square Garden Thursday night. I had expected to see a mixed crowd of young Glamberts who have followed Adam's art and antics since his American Idol days, as well as classic rock fans thrilled to hear the vintage songs played live once more. But the well-worn Queen t-shirts were plentiful and the Lambert love appeared few and far between as I took my seat.
He is about to play to a packed crowd of 20,000 people (New Yorkers, no less!), who all seemed to be thinking the same thing: "Can the kid pull it off?" Under pressure, indeed.

Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor.Set your daily goals and achieve them, so that you may achieve your greatest goal Success
I am hoping to find someone that is outgoing with a good sense of humor and more importantly someone who is honest. My friends and family mean a great deal to me in my life and i am hoping to find someone with the same values. A key element is being able to sit down and just have a real conversation with me. My mentality is pretty right on with the old cliche saying "fall in love with your best friend". I want someone who I can bring with me anywhere or go anywhere with so having similar interests and ideas of a "good time" is a must. I am a driven and hard-working individual. I take pride in my work and it shows. At the young age of 24, I successfully own and operate my own mortgage company and it isn't stopping here. Having someone with similar goals will only encourage me to work even harder :) When I'm not at work, I love to stay active and play sports such as; basketball, snowboarding, longboarding, football, boats/ jet-skis, and MMA. Staying healthy and in shape is a lifestyle for me. Since I work hard, I also like to play hard. One of my favorite places to go is Las Vegas! I also like to travel when time allows to places such as Hawaii, New York, Cancun, and pretty much anywhere that will take me out of the ordinary "grind". All in all I'm an easy going and old-fashioned guy. Take the time and just talk to me for a minute. I am an open book and I would love to get to know you!

Male or Female papaya tree
dazed77(6)June 5, 2005
I heard that papayas only grow on female papaya trees? We have lots of papaya trees growing wild here and was wondering how to differentiate the male from the female if such a thing exists.
Actually the flowers on a papaya tree can be male, female or hermaphroditic/bisexual. The female-only flowers are big and fat and attached directly to the trunk, the male-only are smaller, longer, skinnier, and are on long branches. The ones with both sexes are kind of in-between in shape, also attached to the trunk. Both the female only and bisexual flowers can produce fruits, but the female-only ones need a male plant nearby, whereas the others don't.

52:0787(77)AR - - National Air Traffic Controllers Association and Transportation, FAA, Memphis, TN - - 1996 FLRAdec AR - - v52 p787
[ v52 p787 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
52 FLRA No. 77
December 31, 1996
Before the Authority: Phyllis N. Segal, Chair; Tony Armendariz and Donald S. Wasserman, Members.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Charles H. Frost filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the Union's exceptions.
The Arbitrator denied a grievance contesting a 14-day suspension imposed on the grievant for being AWOL for 5 consecutive days. For the following reasons, we conclude that the Union has failed to establish that the award is deficient. Accordingly, we deny the exceptions.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The grievant, an air traffic controller, was arrested and jailed for 1 month for driving without a valid driver's license or license plates. When this had occurred previously, his supervisor had advised him the Agency would consider him as absent without leave (AWOL) on those days where leave could not be granted, and that being AWOL might result in disciplinary action. On the second occurrence, the grievant was notified by letter that the Agency intended to suspend him for being AWOL on more than 5 consecutive scheduled workdays and that he had 15 days in which to respond. The grievant, through his Union representative, requested several documents in order to effectively respond to the charges. The Agency denied the request. The Union filed a grievance, which was not resolved and was submitted to arbitration, on the following stipulated issue:
Did the Agency have just cause to suspend [the grievant] for 14 days for being absent without leave (AWOL)? If not, what shall be the remedy?
Award at 3.
The Arbitrator found that the Agency did have just cause to suspend the grievant. More specifically, the Arbitrator determined that the grievant had been notified that being AWOL might lead to disciplinary action. The Arbitrator also determined that the grievant had not suffered disparate treatment compared to other employees similarly situated, and that there was no personal animosity between the grievant and his immediate supervisor. Finally, the Arbitrator found that the penalty the grievant had received was not excessive, arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable.
III. Exceptions
A. Union's Contentions
In its first exception, the Union asserts that the Arbitrator failed to consider or correctly apply Article 84, Section 3, of the FAA/NATCA agreement, which required that bargaining members be treated "fairly and equitably," a phrase the Union considers synonymous with "just cause." Union's Exceptions at 4. The Union contends that the Arbitrator erred for two reasons in determining that there was just cause to discipline the grievant. First, the Union argues that the Arbitrator erred by not comparing the grievant with all other FAA employees who were AWOL because of incarceration in determining if the grievant suffered disparate treatment. Second, the Union contends the Arbitrator erred in finding the penalty was fair. The Union maintains that the penalty was excessive and that the Arbitrator did not correctly apply all the factors set out in Douglas v. Veterans Administration, 5 MSPR 280 (1981).
In its second exception, the Union argues that the award is deficient because the Arbitrator upheld discipline against the grievant even though the Agency had not accorded the grievant his "due process rights" of notice and opportunity to respond, as required by Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532 (1985) (Loudermill). Exceptions at 8. The Union contends that because the grievant was told only that his actions might lead to discipline, and not that they would definitely lead to discipline, he was not given adequate notice. The Union also maintains that the Agency's failure to respond to the grievant's request for information, which he claimed he needed in order to effectively answer the charges, denied him an opportunity to respond.
In its third exception, the Union maintains that the Arbitrator erred when he applied Cornelius v. Nutt, 472 U.S. 648 (1985), and held that Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) standards for determining disparate treatment were dispositive. The Union cites several cases where the Authority held that arbitrators are not required to follow the MSPB in cases involving suspensions of 14 days or less.
In its fourth exception, the Union contends that the Arbitrator misapplied an Agency regulation containing a table of penalties when he determined the applicable charge against the grievant to be "unexcused absence or unauthorized absence of more than five consecutive work days,"(*) and as a result applied an inappropriate penalty. It argues that the grievant was never AWOL for more than 5 consecutive work days because he had another employee fill in for him.
In its fifth exception, the Union argues that the Arbitrator was biased against the grievant, and that this was demonstrated when the Arbitrator gave undue consideration to the cross-examination of the grievant.
B. Agency's Opposition
With respect to the Union's argument that the Arbitrator did not correctly apply the parties' collective bargaining agreement in his determination that there was just cause to suspend the grievant, the Agency contends that the Union failed to show that the award is deficient because it does not draw its essence from the agreement.
As for the Union's argument that the grievant was not given adequate notice or the opportunity to respond, the Agency claims that the grievant was given notice of his possible suspension, that he was given 15 days to respond, and that he did respond, through his Union representative.
In response to the Union's argument that the Arbitrator should have compared the grievant to all other FAA employees who had been charged AWOL due to incarceration, the Agency argues that it would be impossible for supervisors, when disciplining their workers, to determine what other supervisors throughout the agency had done in similar situations. The Agency also claims that, while supervisors should adhere to the penalty ranges, they may raise or lower the penalties as circumstances dictate.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
A. The Award Draws Its Essence From the Agreement
We construe the Union's claim that the Arbitrator failed to consider or correctly apply a provision of the FAA/NATCA agreement in his determination that there was just cause to discipline the grievant as a contention that the award is deficient because it fails to draw its essence from the parties' collective bargaining agreement.
In this case, the Arbitrator interpreted and applied the collective bargaining agreement in concluding that the suspension was for just cause. The Arbitrator found that the grievant did not suffer disparate treatment as compared to other similarly situated employees, and that the penalty was fair and appropriate. Although the Arbitrator did not compare the grievant with other FAA employees who had also been incarcerated, as the Union argues he should have, there is nothing implausible, unfounded, or irrational in the Arbitrator's findings. See United States Department of Labor (OSHA) and National Council of Field Labor Locals, 34 FLRA 573, 575-76 (1990). As for the Union's contention that the Arbitrator failed to consider Article 84, Section 3, the Authority has repeatedly held that the fact that an arbitrator's opinion does not mention an issue does not establish that the arbitrator did not consider and rule on the issue. For example, General Services Administration, Region 2 and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2431, 46 FLRA 1039, 1043 (1992). Accordingly, the Agency's contention that the award fails to draw its essence from the agreement does not establish that the award is deficient.
B. The Award Is Not Contrary to Law
As the Union alleges that the Arbitrator's findings regarding procedural due process and MSPB standards are contrary to law, we review those exceptions de novo. National Treasury Employees Union, Chapter 24 and U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, 50 FLRA 330, 332 (1995) (citing U.S. Custom Service v. FLRA, 43 F.3d 682, 686-87 (D.C. Cir. 1994)).
1. The Arbitrator Did Not Err in Failing to Find That the Grievant's Rights of Notice and Opportunity to Respond Were Violated
We construe the Union's claim that the grievant was not accorded his "due process rights" of notice and opportunity to respond, Exceptions at 8, as a contention that the award is deficient because the Arbitrator did not find a violation of the grievant's procedural due process rights. In U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Hawaii Federal Lodge 1998, 45 FLRA 1164 (1992), the Authority set out guidelines for the procedural due process that is due a Federal employee who has been suspended for 14 days or less. The Authority held that such employees are not due post-suspension hearings but are due predecisional proceedings no more formal or extensive than those required by Loudermill (oral or written notice of the charges, an explanation of the employer's evidence, and an opportunity for employees to present their side of the story) and no less extensive than those required by Goss v. Lopez, 419 U.S. 565 (1975) (an informal discussion where the accused is told what he is being accused of doing, the basis of that accusation, and an opportunity for the accused to present his version of the facts). The grievant was given proper notice of his possible suspension via the letter of September 1, 1995. He was given 15 days in which to respond, more time than the minimum required by Goss. Furthermore, it cannot be said that the grievant did not have an opportunity to respond, because he did respond, through his Union representative. Accordingly, we deny the exception.
2. The Arbitrator Did Not Err in Applying MSPB Standards
In Cornelius v. Nutt the Supreme Court held that, in certain matters (such as disciplinary decisions), arbitrators must "apply the same substantive rules as the [MSPB] does in reviewing an agency . . . decision." 472 U.S. at 660. However, arbitrators are not required to apply the same substantive standards as the MSPB in cases involving suspensions of 14 days or less. See, e.g., American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1770 and U.S. Department of the Army Headquarters, XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 51 FLRA 1302, 1306 (1996). This does not mean that arbitrators are precluded from applying those standards in such cases. U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Honolulu District Office, Honolulu, Hawaii and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2886, National Immigration and Naturalization Council, 41 FLRA 207, 211 (1991) (INS, Honolulu). Therefore, the Arbitrator did not err in applying the definition of "similarly situated" that is used by the MSPB.
3. The Arbitrator Did Not Err by Failing to Correctly Apply the Douglas Factors
The Arbitrator was not required to consider the Douglas factors enunciated by the MSPB in deciding the matter before him. The Authority has consistently held that arbitrators are not required to consider the Douglas factors in cases involving suspensions of 14 days or less. American Federation of Government Employees, Local 3887, National Council of Department of Education Locals, Council 252 and U.S. Department of Education, Institutional Review Branch, Office of Student Financial Assistance, Region IV, 48 FLRA 717, 721 (1993). Although the Arbitrator did consider the Douglas factors when he was not required to do so, the Union's contention that he incorrectly applied them does not provide a basis for finding the award deficient. See INS, Honolulu, 41 FLRA at 211-212 (arbitrator's misapplication of the harmful-error rule when he was not required to apply that rule constituted, among other things, the arbitrator's reasoning and did not provide a basis for finding the award deficient). Consequently, we reject the Union's assertion that the award is deficient because the Arbitrator failed to correctly apply the Douglas factors.
C. The Award Is Not Based on a Nonfact
We construe the Union's claim that the Arbitrator erred by applying the penalty for 5 consecutive days of AWOL even though someone worked for the grievant for 3 of those days as a contention that the award is deficient because it is based on a nonfact. To establish that an award is based on a nonfact, the appealing party must demonstrate that the central fact underlying the award is clearly erroneous, but for which a different result would have been reached by the arbitrator. U.S. Department of the Air Force, Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado and National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1497, 48 FLRA 589, 593 (1993).
The Arbitrator determined that the grievant was AWOL for five consecutive days. The Union has not shown that the Arbitrator erred in his determination that the grievant was AWOL on those days, even though another employee may have filled in for the grievant. Therefore, we deny this exception.
D. The Arbitrator Was Not Biased
To demonstrate that an award is deficient because of bias on the part of an arbitrator, it must be shown, for example, that the award was procured by improper means, that there was partiality or corruption on the part of the arbitrator, or that the arbitrator engaged in misconduct that prejudiced the rights of the party. For example, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, North Chicago, Illinois and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2107, 52 FLRA 387, 398 (1996). The specific facts and evidence presented by the Union to support its exception fail to establish that the award is deficient under any of the tests set forth above.
V. Decision
The Union's exceptions are den

Go for it. It tastes beefy.

It's great added to beef gravy.

Home orchard plan - sun, space, varieties
I am planning what to plant in my backyard orchard. I am in San Francisco bay area and have a decent sized lot but some shade. Summertime average highs are 80 degrees in July, Aug, Sep with a few 90s and 100s. Average winter lows are 38, 39 in Dec, Jan. Hardly any summer rain to speak of. Mid-May to late sep is pretty dry. Ideally I would like to invest in larger container sizes so that I don't have to wait for fruiting. I would also like to try multi-grafted and larger espaliers if I can find them. I would love some feedback on my choices, ideas on where to order etc.
Avocado - Holiday. I read that this lasts on the tree and has larger fruit on smaller trees. Any sources?
Apple - I am smitten with Pink pearl which is pink fleshed and Rubaiyat which is red fleshed and only available as a bench graft from green mantle
Fig - Violette de bordeaux
Plum - DH loves plums and would really like a rich red fleshed variety that ripens to be super juicy (the kind you need to eat over the sink :). Any recommendations?
Pear - I love seckel pears and would also like to try warren pears. Can I get these multi-grafted?
Manadarin - We have a golden nugget and I would like a Kishu. Any idea where I can order a larger size container?
Cherry - My daughter loves cherry and I would like to get a multi-grafted variety that includes some rainier type.
Grape - We love muscat type varieties. Are the seedless muscats flavorful? Also thought it would be interesting to grow a wine grape like zinfendel or a champagne grape. Not sure if I have enough heat for that.
Banana - I love the leaves and would like some fruit. Is there a variety that will do reasonably well for me?
Guava - Again can I possibly grow any red fleshed or white fleshed varieties?
Sapote - We love the brown fleshed varieties from south asia. If I plant, will I get some fruit?
Berries - Prefer thornless. I would like an extended Black berry and raspberry season. What varieties would work best?
Thanks. I already have an white peach planted by the previous owners. Any additional advice? I have been watching the Dave Wilson vids and am intrigued by their 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 planting where multiples of similar planted quite close together.
Make sure you check the chill requirements for the berries, apples and pears.
You can try a few species banana. Some are edible, although they have seeds. Musa balbisiana, Musa "helens hybrid" and any Musa Acuminata species. Im not sure how well the commercial banana will do in 9B, and they are having virus problems with them anyways. If youre just going for looks, there are many many good species for 9b, including the giant ensetes.
Also, even if the plants are "Self fertile", additional pollenators will help increase production (although I think most peaches do ok by theselves). Even a branch grafted, like the multi grafted trees on the vids will help.
No mention of lemon, I see. A improved meyer would be nice, and not overly large either.
You have raised a lot of good questions. To get good information to get started with few false starts, I would strongly recommend 'The Home Orchard' published by University of California in 2007, and written by the UC Davis staff. If you are in the north bay any library contains the California Master Gardener Handbook. The fruit section is written by Paul Vossen the Sonoma County farm adviser. He gives lots of local information on what fruit will do best with less problems. Al
I'm also in the Bay Area, a bit farther north I think because our summer highs are similar but our winter lows are a bit lower. My favorite plum is the Elephant Heart, bred by Luther Burbank in this area so it does well here. I just had my first off of my new tree and it was delicious and definitely an eating over the sink variety. I also have a Santa Rosa plum, which is smaller and not quite as juicy but very flavorful and reliably productive. If you want to try multiple trees in one hole I suggest doing it with plums and pluots, because there are so many good varieties and a lot of them yield better with cross pollination.
I love my Pink Pearl apple tree, I just harvested the first batch to make into pies and my friends and family are eagerly anticipating them. They are a bit too tart for my taste for fresh eating, but the best pie apples I've ever used.
I second the recommendation for a Meyer Lemon, I wouldn't be without one. Very useful fruit, fragrant flowers, and they're evergreen.
Beware bramble fruits! Contain the roots or they will take over your yard. I'm not certain how to ensure the longest harvest, the easiest way would probably be to get a variety of summer bearing and fall bearing cultivars. Also, you should have some strawberries because they are relatively easy to grow and they start bearing sooner than most fruiting plants.
Depending on how cold your area gets you will probably have to protect the avocados and tropicals, and there might be issues with lack of summer heat for ripening. You might want to contact the California Rare Fruit Growers for advice, or just look around to see if others have had success with those plants in your area. I know it can be done, there's a guy locally who grows pineapples, but it's a lot of work for a small harvest.
Good luck on your project, I hope you have bounteous harvests in the years to come!
