What is on your ceiling?
After 2 weeks of spending every spare minute scraping popcorn off my ceiling we have decided to hire someone to do the rest. (the good news is I lost 5 lbs! : )) I have to decide on a texture. I did the dining room flat. Well, as flat as I could get it. I like the clean look. The painter (not a decorator) told me the den would look better with a knockdown texture to match the walls. I imagine it is hard to make that transition from uneven walls to even ceiling. The kitchen has smooth walls and the living room has picture frame paneling and dark wood floors. Should all the rooms have the same texture? Color? After sweeping cobwebs off the ceiling and being showered with white stuff I am loath to add any texture to the ceiling but am afraid that I am being short sighted. My neighbor had her ceilings done in beige orange peel and they look nice almost like fabric - kind of fuzzy? What do newer houses have on the ceilings?
I love smooth ceilings and smooth walls as they are much easier to keep dust-free. The down side to smooth walls is that you can see every little nick and smudge. I can't see a down side to smooth ceilings if they are properly taped and bedded so that they are truly smooth.
(I'm assuming you did an asbestos test on the popcorn ceiling before tackling it yourself)
When we did ours the contractor just put gyprock up onto the ceiling and left the popcorn texture in place but it's now hidden.
I love the flat ceiling. When we had the popcorn ceiling, I always noticed the ceiling, but now that it's flat I never even look at it, it has basically disappeared. For my taste, unless your ceiling is part of the decorating style of the house (cove ceiling, etc) I see nothing attractive about them. I vote for plain everywhere. But, that's just my 2c.
My daughter just bought an apartment with a popcorn wall in the living room, and same on bathroom ceiling. How hard was it to remove? She plans on scraping before she moves in, and then painting. I suggested she keep walls slightly textured but like you she wants them smooth. Some of my ceilings have sand, others are smooth, I personally like sand more.
Popcorn ceilings are easy to remove unless they have been painted over. I am interested in nonsmooth ceiling options as well. I have textured walls and a smooth ceiling in several rooms and it looks really good but the smooth ceilings are alot more labor intensive
I love rustic ceilings..bead board, pine planks, etc., esp. for rooms like dens, librariesâ¦places you want to be cozy and/or relax in. On the link, click on each colored square under the pic. Each is a different design.

Thought you may find this popcorn removal kit interesting.
Ilene, the popcorn is not that hard to remove, but is a nasty, sloppy job. You have to cover walls and floors with plastic, and it still escapes. Blobs of white gooey stuff everywhere. The next step for me was harder. Evidently for popcorn they don't have to really finish the wallboard so I had to put several coats of mud over the tape lines, nail holes, and even replace some of the tape. I bought a garden sprayer but it just squirted and dripped on the floor so I used a water spray bottle. I also tried that thing you attach to to a long pole, with a bag to catch the garbage. It was too hard for me to handle and I gouged the ceiling. But if I can do it at 60, I'm sure your daughter can!

We have knockdown on our ceilings, though it tends to be a lighter texture than what is on the walls. We had one bathroom that was heavier and not knocked down -- discovered that a previous owner used it to try to cover evidence of water damage. Finally figured that out and where the problem was when brown water came through the light fixture one night. Tore out the entire ceiling, did plumbing repairs and have no texture pending a full remodel. Will go smooth if possible -- very light knockdown if not. Never want any significant texture again. Marshmallow cream and popcorn do not belong on ceilings.
Mine aren't textured, but look more like a medium nap roller being used lightly. You have to really look close to even see any texture at all. They are very easy to paint and show nothing when it comes to dirt, cobwebs, etc. Actually, I can't remember any cobwebs in this house. I'm not sure how they did this as the rooms are slightly coved from wall to ceiling. There is texture to my walls from yore. The transition was well done. All is easy to paint, even touch up compared to smooth walls/ceiling in my kitchen. The kitchen ceiling tends to show every small mistake and I hate painting it.
This brings up a question as to ceiling paint. I had never heard of it before, but am seeing it sold by every paint manuf. Is this new or I didn't pay attention in years past? What does it do compared to standard wall paint?
One comment on easy/hard to remove. Along with the mess, the formulation can differ from area to area.
In Missouri, the stuff came off in one pass and I could get a room done anywhere between a couple of hours to a day - depending on size. I've scraped a lot of ceilings.
In Texas, my experience was vastly different. It takes at least a couple of days because I can only chip away a little at a time. More glue for a humid area? I don't know, but it's horrible enough that I'm thinking of bead board or wood plank instead of scraping.
I also vote smooth. I don't care for texture on drywall.
The attached shows what's on my ceiling, as well as I think every house I've ever been in around here.
Is this considered popcorn? If not, what's it called? Every time I watch HGTV and see someone complaining about popcorn ceilings, I wonder if that's what mine is.
Jenny, No you do not have popcorn ceilings. Most likely someone will post a pic of one. My guess is your house is around the late 40s, 50s. These were common textures then, unless someone decided to texture walls during a remodel. But there aren't a lot of finishers who even know how to do this well. I would embrace the era if this is original.
How interesting Jenny. I don't see textured walls or ceilings like yours in houses here past the 50s. Must be a regional finish era. Sameboat, similar event. Are all of your rooms done like this?
Here is a link to popcorn ceilings.
Here is a link that might be useful: popcorn/cottage cheese
Smooth! If at all possible. We had a variation of popcorn on our ceilings in our home in Atlanta built in the 80s. They called it a stippled ceiling. Never liked it much.
If you have a historical home or cool wood beams, etc., that's a different matter, but if you have a choice I would do smooth ceilings. They are timeless and will never look dated.
Jenny, yours is a type of stomp texture. It would be applied with a tool that creates the pattern on the end of a stick. It is dipped into the mud and then stomped on the ceiling. Controlling the amount of mud on the pattern and keeping the mud at the right degree of wet to get a consistent texture would seem to be the main issues with doing it properly.
I think the ceiling texture we had when I was growing up was a variation on a stomp -- probably more a stomp and sweep. My dad called it elephant tracks.
The typical knock down is applied with a roller like technicolor's post suggests. When the nap is heavier, it leaves more mud behind and the heavier is let to sit for a few minutes to start to set and then a trowel run over the top to knock down the top surfaces. If the nap is finer, sometimes used on walls and probably what is done on a lot of ceilings, the knock down may not be needed since what is left behind is finer.

An infamous red carpet prankster struck actor Brad Pitt in the face as the actor signed autographs at the Hollywood premiere of a film starring his partner, Angelina Jolie, on Wednesday, police said.
Pitt, a Golden Globe-winning actor, was at the premiere of "Maleficent" at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood when Vitalii Sediuk leaped over a fence and hit him, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Gus Villanueva.
Pitt was not seriously hurt and authorities quickly subdued Sediuk, who was arrested for misdemeanor battery and remained in police custody Wednesday night, Villanueva said.
The world-famous movie star's designer sunglasses were broken during the strange attack, according to TMZ.
Sediuk was being held pending payment of $20,000 bail. He's been ordered to stay 500 feet away from Pitt for the next five days, according to a temporary restraining order.
"The officers who were handling him said it looked like it was intentional, but at this point, it remains to be determined," said Sgt. Leonard Calderon of LAPD Hollywood.
Sediuk, 25, is a Ukrainian television reporter who has often pranked celebrities at red carpet events.
In previous exploits, Sediuk has hugged actor Leonardo DiCaprio's crotch at a Santa Barbara Film Festival event; snuck onto the red carpet at Cannes and dove underneath America Ferrera's dress, frightening the actress; stormed the stage during singer Adele's Grammy acceptance speech; and been slapped by Will Smith after kissing the actor at a Moscow premiere.
Sediuk did not appear to be armed at the time of the attack on Pitt, and investigators have not yet determined a motive, said Villanueva, adding that he was likely to be arraigned on Thursday.
"Maleficent" is Disney's modern reimagining of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale, and Jolie stars as its villain.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Doc Talk: A look at NFL Week 9 injuries
Each week, Dr. Mark Adickes shares his analysis of the key injuries in each of the NFL weekend's upcoming games.
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Jets WR Plaxico Burress (lower back tightness)
Jock to Doc Take: Burress was limited in practice Thursday, the Jets' website reports. This decreased workload is probably a precautionary measure; I expect to see him on the field in Buffalo.
Health Rating: Plaxico Burress @ 80%
Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys RB Felix Jones (ankle)
Jock to Doc Take: Jones did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, the Cowboys' website reports. DeMarco Murray has taken up the slack in the absence of Jones, who has a nagging ankle sprain. I would bench Jones this week if he were on my fantasy team.
Health Rating: Felix Jones @ 65%
Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
Texans WR Andre Johnson (hamstring)
Jock to Doc take: Johnson did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, the Texans' website reports, so he might be a game-time decision. If we see him practicing even in a limited fashion on Friday, then we may see him on the field.
Health Rating: Andre Johnson @ 67%
Atlanta Falcons at Indianapolis Colts
Falcons WR Julio Jones (hamstring)
Jock to Doc Take: Jones was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, AtlantaFalcons.com reports. Although Jones has not played in the past two games, I expect to see him on the field, barring any setbacks. I would start him on my fantasy team because of his probable status and because of his opponent. The Colts' defense has given up double-digit fantasy points to nine receivers this season.
Health Rating: Julio Jones @ 77%
Miami Dolphins at Kansas City Chiefs
Dolphins QB Matt Moore (ribs)
Jock to Doc Take: Moore is probable for Sunday's game in Kansas City. He has had ailing ribs the past two weeks, but he played through it last week in Miami's loss to the Giants. I expect to see Moore as Miami's quarterback Sunday.
Health Rating: Matt Moore @ 80%
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints
Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman (thumb)
Jock to Doc Take: Freeman should be fine to face New Orleans; he was a full participant in practice Thursday, the Bucs' website reports. However, there is a chance that his sub-par numbers may be perpetuated by this thumb sprain.
Health Rating: Josh Freeman @ 82%
San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins
49ers WR Michael Crabtree (foot)
Jock to Doc Take: Crabtree was limited Wednesday and Thursday, according to NFL.com. He most likely will be available for Sunday's game in Washington and should be a good fantasy pick with the amount of looks Alex Smith should give him.
Health Rating: Michael Crabtree @ 78%
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
Raiders RB Darren McFadden (sprained foot)
Jock to Doc Take: Oakland's starting running back did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, ESPN reports. He was seen in a walking boot, a sign that McFadden will see minimal if any playing time Sunday against the Broncos.
Health Rating: Darren McFadden @ 35%
Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans
Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (hamstring)
Jock to Doc Take: Gresham did not practice Thursday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. It is unclear whether he will be playing Sunday, but from his lack of practice and his questionable status, Gresham owners should make different plans.
Health Rating: Jermaine Gresham @ 60%
St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Rams QB Sam Bradford (sprained ankle)
Jock to Doc Take: The Rams' starting quarterback was "extremely limited" at practice Wednesday and Thursday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. It seems like Bradford is taking baby steps to recovery so they can have him ready to go full speed in a week or two. A.J. Feeley has played competent football, so expect Feeley to be the starter this week and until Bradford has shown significant progress.
Health Rating: Sam Bradford @ 50%
POWER RANKINGSWhich teams are looking up in this week's NFL power rankings?
New York Giants at New England Patriots
Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot)
Jock to Doc Take: Bradshaw's cracked foot keeps his status no better than questionable for Sunday, but a source told ESPN that Bradshaw will be ready for the game. It may be too early to tell in this case.
Health Rating: Ahmad Bradshaw @ 70%
Green Bay Packers at San Diego Chargers
Chargers TE Antonio Gates (foot)
Jock to Doc Take: Gates has been struggling with a foot injury the entire season, but he played 75 snaps Monday night in Kansas City. He participated fully in Wednesday's and Thursday's practices without any setbacks, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports, and he should be ready to go against a tough Green Bay team.
Health Rating: Antonio Gates @ 85%
DON'T BOW YETThe Packers are perfect so far, but that might not be the case after Sunday. John Lynch explains how the Chargers can upend the champs.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers WR Hines Ward (ankle)
Jock to Doc Take: Ward was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday after not playing against the Patriots on Sunday. I expect to see him play against the Ravens in this tough rivalry game.
Health Rating: Hines Ward @ 80%
Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (stomach flu)
Jock to Doc Take: The Eagles' breakout star did not practice Thursday, the Eagles' website reports. There's no indication that this will influence his play this week, so fantasy owners do not need to worry. McCoy will be on the field Monday night.
Health Rating: LeSean McCoy @ 85%
Health Ratings: So what do the numbers mean?
100-85% = NFL players are tough and still perform at a high level despite injuries. Let's be honest, when is an NFL athlete really physically 100 percent? Practically never. With a rating in this range, expect players to perform at peak levels.
70-85% = In this range a player's performance will be affected, but he still can get the job done.
55-70% = Players with a rating this low will require assistance to do their jobs. The team might be better served by placing these warriors on the inactive list. Only some All-Pros can get the job done when rated this poorly.
40-55% = These players need some more time to heal. Unlikely to be active unless miraculous healing occurs or my rating was based on erroneous information.
25-40% = Players will not play but show signs of recovery, opening the door for a return to the active roster the following week.
< 25% = Players will not play and there is concern that additional games may be missed.

Drake...from Investor Village re JF's 4 new Jack-Up rigs ordered...
from IV...
Furthermore, the combination of deliveries, pricing and expected return is attractive compared to other investment alternatives within the offshore asset market as well as corporate opportunities. The Seadrill Board has specifically concluded that this opportunity is superior to increasing the bid for Scorpion in order to achieve a potential higher acceptance. The four jack-up newbuilds will grow the Seadrill high quality jack-up fleet from eight to 12 units. It is not expected that the newbuildings will significantly reduce Seadrill's short-term dividend capacity. Longer term, dividend is expected to increase as a function of the orders. Seadrill's shareholders should be assured that Seadrill's focus will continue to be on the deepwater segment. However, the Board will continue to work opportunistic in order to seek to maximize return to shareholders based on investments limited to modern drilling assets."
Draker, can you interpret the statement that..."The SDRL Board has concluded that......to reach a higher acceptance"...???
Is Scorpion still in play...?...It appears it is...also I will post another good one from IV regarding this very issue...Draker, please comment on both...glta JF longs!
Barb sorry about not getting back to you about the free foreign consignment fees. They assured me there would be no fees. Now so far that I have been with them, there has been none. If there is, there are other places to put your money and if they do it, charge me fees, I'm going over to Noble. It sounds like the place for me with all the JF companies in my portfolio, and being able to deal direct with OSLO, I'll do it in a heartbeat and I told my broker in no uncertain terms, I'd pull my bucks out of them in a heartbeat if they charge me. If you are dealing with a broker who uses Pershing as a holding company, GET OUT NOW! They are rip off artist and use Mellon bank as their front boys. Your SDRL divi will get hit too! KOKO and MO!
Drake, I don't have a broker, no office near here I live out in the boonies but we do have Walmart. They gave me 1 mo free trades and I have a call into them and should hear from them Mon. How much free trades do you get anyway. I feel like I've been cheated and would like to barter with them. Did you ask them about any yearly charges with pink sheets. Barb
Barb, what do you mean "not getting the same thing". If you mean free trades throughout the year, your broker can set it up where you don't have to use all you trades in the early part of dealing using them. They can "Postpone" a percentage for you for later trading.
Anyway, buy now while the stocks are down (you know the rule, buy low, sell high)except with GO and Sdrl, there should be no selling. Buy what you can afford to just let sit and accumulate divi's until we hit Nasdaq, Amex, etc then you might want to try and play it, but righ now the smart move is to buy and hold for at least two years. KOKO for MO(re)!!!
Sprintmist thanks for the input. I did ask Atrade about charges with pink sheets and they assured me there were none. If I have a problem they will be hearing from me. I pay $7 a trade and that is it and no yrly charges is what they told me. I am sure I don't have quite as big an account as you have to be trading with Oslo direct. We are also retired and trying to make some extra income with JF. I have 3 of his stocks and you have how many. Are you really 92 and still working the stock market??? Barb
Hey Drake, tell me again about Atrade re my last message. I'm not getting the same thing. Barb
Hey Drake, glad you are feeling better. So you switched to Atrade hey. They only gave me 3 mos free trades then $7 per trade, and $100 per IRA. You say you got 6 mos and 1-2 yrs free trades and how much for trade then? Wow. I just emailed the paperwork yest so should take about a week. If I had known you were there I would have given your name for a recom. I've got a lot of trades to do once I get moved so hope the mkt is back up. Barb
Yes, I am a firefighter/hazardous materials responder. Enjoy it all.
SL et al...In a nut shell what JF is saying to scorpion is "s of get off the pot" cause we're just fine where we are. Now how about yourselves there, scorp boys?? If you think your stock went up because you are you, then think again and let's see where your stock is in about 3 weeks when we say nevermind to the whole deal. the scorp boys are getting greedy(kinda like Yahoo and microsoft) and like yahoo, there playing a game of chicken where only they can get plucked. JF still owns the shares but once he starts putting them on the market, in blocks, what do you think is going to happen to the share price. Yepper you got it, straight down. Where if he wants to, he can buy them at a cheaper price. Don't know how much free cash scorp has, but I'll bet it's not as much as SDRL. He's already selling some of them I'm sure and if scorp's price stays where it is (which he is gambling it won't) then no problem and JF will just keep on keepin on. IF it drops, heh heh, then the bid drops appropriately. This ain't JF's first rodeo, and he knows that when the shareholders see their value going down to say 65 per share, then they'll say oops, think we'll take the offer afterall.
I think the real statement of interest is "seek to maximize return to shareholders based on investments limited to modern drilling assets." with limited to modern drilling assets, to be the key to this whole deal. In other words, we are going to buy new jackup rigs that will raise our value as a company as much ror more than buying your assests, so it's money money who gets the money. the new build company or scorpion shareholders.
For my money, JF is just saying, we have other places to put our money to enhance our company's equity by 33%. How about you scorp? JF can outbid them on every turn and have a tremendous partnership with the brazilians and their off shore treasure trove. And 'oh yeah scorp, and by the way, how are you planning on increaseing your company's value by 33% in two years?'
Let's just see who blinks first, it happens all the time in JF's world of Texas hold'em, but JF knows the hole cards.
I'd bet on JF, no matter which way this deal goes.
Scorpian BOD tried to sandbag JF in essence by trying to highjack the vote in favor of themselves/mgmt...notice the statement on May 31st (See Scorpion Offshore/Press Release)by the BOD saying that Scorpion has recommended JF (by law) tender 80NOK for the remainder of the Scorpion shares and 4 sentences later state "we are worth more so don't sell your shares"...or some such verbage...what a crock of Terds!...and they have the audacity to be talking about the law when it was agreed to in principle with JF and shareholders...
I flat guarantee Scorpion dropped their pants for the Petrobras deal at the 11th hour and 59th minute to get their foot in the door project wise...bad timing for JF but he keeps on keepin on...on a side note I guess JF and Troim are back in play regarding TUI (read it yesterday/sorry no link)in Germany trying to split the container shipper Hapag Loyd away from the TUI cruise line business via BOD takeover and ousting their CEO...JF said he'd spin it off...but who gets the shares is anyones guess if it happens...probably FRO shareholders...???...don't count JF out; when he stated there were deals to be done/consolidation he wasn't joking...glta longs!
Hubber, the first statements concerning Scorpion and "not increasing the bid per share for the company is a "shot across the bow" from JF and the boys saying to the scorpion board, OK, if you think you're such a hot shot company, lets see how far you share value sinks now that you think your company's shares will not sink back to where they were before we made the bid. In other words, that's our final bid for you company you cocky sob's and good luck bacause the only reason your stock is where it is, is because we made a bid for your stock at 80. All JF and the boys have to do is to start selling the shares they have in Scorp and watch the value plummet. The ball is definently is scorps court now and the longer they continue this attitude (kinda like yahoo and microsoft with frontline being microsoft) the lower their stock will go. At least that's what JF knows will happen. Scorp is still on the radar but if their final vote is no, Scorp will be without a suitor and they will once again go back on the open market with a black eye and shareholders not real happy their share value is dropping every day. Me likey...perfect play on JF's part. Bottom line,, the SDRL board believes that spending money on the jack up rigs, etc (building SDRL's infrastructure as they were going to do if scorp declined the offer) if what we'r'e going to spend our money on and not a company such as yours(scorp), which doesn't have the intrinsic value of 4 jack up rigs. Scorp will either keep growing in the single digits or join with Seadrill and see the value of their assets grow exponentially.
The game is still on but the line in the sand has been drawn. No sweat off of SDRL's back but anxiety in the scorp camp is growing each day.
I think the deal will either get done in the next two weeks or JR will start selling his shares in Scorp as fast as is prudent. I really think the best play is to buy Pride and think it will happen but not in the near future.
JF wouldn't have bought scorp shares if there wasn't a weakness in the company he intrinsically knows about.
What do you think? I see it as a win-win for SDRL. A lose-lose for scorp.
Looks like I need to jump in and start buying this stock. I enjoy reading yalls posts and believe I will enjoy buying/holding yet another jf company. Do you guys drip this stock also? I have noticed and been told etrade wont drip GDOCF. Was wondering if FRO is the only JF stock one can drip? Comments? If one can drip all of JF's companies, with what brokerage can one do this with?
Yet again from IV regarding JF's 4 new Jack-Up Rigs announced today...
Re: New Jack-up Order (GM/OP)
You have to Love JF!!! In one move he 1. increased the fleet by four, 2. locked up two yards from building rigs for competitive companies, 3. jammed it to scorpion.
I have to imagine that this will drop Scorpion's price as its clear JF is not going to raise the bid (although it has not moved much today, just down about 1.5%). Seadrill has been very savvy with their press releases, so I have no doubt that the timing of this announcement, and the very clear statement from the CEO that they will not be raising the price for scorpion is part of the larger game.
I have to imagine that contracts for 4 rigs from 2 different yards takes a long time to plan and negotiate. In other words, Seadrill did not get the offer from Scorpion rejected yesterday and then say "oh no, now what? Lets quickly order $850 M in rigs." Therefore, they must have been in negotiations for these rigs well before Scorpion rejected their offer. I guess they held the news of these orders just in case Scorpion said no. Now they can play some games.
Playing the guessing game, I can see two reasons he would do this. Either:
1. He dumped his Scorpion shares already and does not care about the price drop or is hoping to buy in again cheaper (I don't think there was time for this).
2. He still is holding, but he wants the price to drop so his offer looks better. Give him some pressure to get Scorpion to accept the prior offer.
3. some other reason I cannot come up with, but I have no doubt, there is a plan.
Draker, interesting thoughts formulated by this OP over at IV...No question JF and the boys have plans, back up plans, and their back up plans have plans lol...they are Chess Masters and are 3 or 4 moves ahead of the field...what do you make of these thoughts...your opinion appreciated...glta JF longs!

Reporting back.
I just got back from the doctor's office. It is a mix of good and bad. He showed me the scans of the MRI and what it shows is inconclusive. He went over it slice by slice. (I guess that is why he wanted to discuss it in the office instead of an email.) No tumors or major strokes, which is good. I do have more white spots than is normal for someone my age, but you do get them when you age. It might have been caused by unnoticeable mini strokes but hard to say since I didn't have any symptoms of any kind of stroke.
So the only thing it could be is the beginning of Parkinson's. I have to go back to get checked over again between 4-6 months to see if there is any progression of the disease. Unless the tremors get very bad, he suggests I do not take the medication for the symptoms until I really need to take it. So basically just live with it.
Thanks again for all your good wishes, thoughts and prayers.
Oh dear, Clare, I guess that's better than a malignant brain tumor or a stroke, but still not good.
I think "wait and see" is much harder than doing something. (sigh)
I'll be hoping that there is no progression of symptoms and that nothing gets any worse.
gina-w - Afraid I couldn't send you an email through gardenweb. I tried but the email page didn't come up. You can send me one - I hope. Liked your blog. I also have a weiner dog with a punim! Sometimes I just stare at her face for the longest time. Best cure for whatever ails you.
Clare, I'm sure sorry you have had to deal with this and now are somewhat in limbo. If only you really could just ignore it until the 4 to 6 month checkups. Here's to hoping any progression is extremely slow and responds well to any future treatments/medication.
Clare, I've read this post before, but I bet I didn't have time to say anything then, because I don't see where I've posted. I thought I did.
Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about you, and wish the news was better, that they found something they could cure easily. Maybe the good news is that Parkinsons is getting so much attention now with famous people bringing it to the forefront. There's lots of research going into it. I bet there's improvements in the treatment happening all the time. I'll keep thinking of you.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Such a great bunch of people on this forum. Like I said before, I am still in the adjustment phase and probably will be for awhile. But I am not going to just curl up in a ball. I have planted my Spring veggie garden, bought 4 new roses to revitalize my rose bed and trying new recipes. I still have a million things I want to do! LOL

Do The Thoughts Of Security Breaches Keep You Up At Night?
in Technology
Just in the last year alone, the world witnessed many unprecented, security breaches. Many of these Cyber based attacks targeted well known retail chains, such as Target and Home Depot. Then of course, was the drama brought by the Sony Corporation, with the security hacks it faced, and the threats posed to it by the launch of its movie, 'The Interview'. No business entity is ever immune from being a target of a Cyber based attack, but there are preventative techniques one can take.
One such proactive technique is that of the auditing of one's IT infrastructure, to pinpoint where the true security vulnerabilities and weaknesses lie. In our podcast today, we intervview Mr. Michael Fimin, CEO of Netwrix Corporation, and learn more about the IT Security audit process.

Is Your Cloud Infrastructure At Risk From Cyber Based Attacks? Find Out More!
in Technology
Up to this point, most of our podcasts on network security have been about learning how to protect the actual infrastructure of your business - both from the inside and the outside.

But, your Cloud Infrastructure is also prone to being the point of major Cyber based attacks and hacks. In today's podcast, we interview Ms. Michele Borovac of HyTrust Corporation, and learn how a business owner can apply their security solutions in protecting your Cloud.

Cyber Security: Protecting Your Law Firm
in Legal
FBI Director Robert Mueller has said it best, when it comes to cyber-attacks "There are only two types of companies in the US; those that have been hacked and those that will be hacked."

The US National Cyber Security Alliance found that 60% of small companies shut down within six months of a cyber-crime attack. There are ways to limit the severity of cyber-attacks that partners, attorneys and employees of law firms must know. Listen to this podcast and learn what you can do to protect your firm from cyber breaches.

Arrangements for Celebrating the Life of Dr. Paul F. Liljestrand
Posted by Deborah.Walker on Friday February 18, 2011
Nyack College School of Music and the campus community are saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Emeritus Dr. Paul Liljestrand on Thursday, February 17, 2011. During his tenure at Nyack, beyond his role as an educator, he was a mentoring and loving presence for students and faculty alike.
A graduate of The Juilliard School and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary, he was the conductor of the Nyack College Chorale and presented the group to an international audience, which included performances in the Ukraine, East Berlin, Poland, France, and Spain. Under his leadership, the Chorale performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
A noted composer of sacred music, the world premiere of his oratorio, O God Our Help was presented at the Norton Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, TX and the New York premiere was performed on the renowned Carnegie Hall in 1993.
At the time of his passing, Dr. Liljestrand was a resident of Thomasville, GA. He welcomed the Nyack College Chorale to perform its final spring 2006 concert at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, where he had served as organist and choirmaster.
An accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, Middle States Association, and the Association of Christian Schools International, the Nyack School of Music is one of the college's oldest and most popular divisions. Paul Liljestrand's impact on the School of Music remains legendary.
Vistation hours will be held at Trinity Anglican Church, 325 West Jackson St., Thomasville, GA on Monday, February 21 from 5-7 p.m. The funeral service will be held at First Baptist Church, 210 North Broad St., Thomasville, GA on Tuesday, February 22 at 2 pm.
Contributions can be made to the Dr. Paul F. Liljestrand Memorial Scholarship Fund, Nyack College School of Music, 1 South Boulevard, Nyack, NY. Checks should be made payable to Nyack College. An online register can be signed at www.allenfh.com.

The Island of Rodos (Rhodes)
... Knights rebuilt in Malta. Although the Turks ruled justly there was a general decline in commerce and building over the next 400 years. The Italians took over the Island in 1912 and Mussolini restored much of the architecture. Eventually Rodos was handed back to Greece in 1948. Phew! A bit of a potted history!

Alabama Veterans Await First State Veterans Cemetery
By Maggie Martin
Spanish Fort, AL – Today is Veterans Day, where the nation remembers those who served in the U.S. military. Here in Alabama, military families will soon have a new spot where the state's servicemen and women can be laid to rest. The state hasn't had access to a veterans cemetery since 1962, when the first site near Mobile was closed down. Alabama Public Radio's Maggie Martin reports on the challenges of the project and what a new cemetery means for Alabama veterans and their families.

Help ID this tree?
I have about 10-12 of these trees all through my property. Trying to ID them with no luck, they look like a willow and shed completely in winter..
Here are a couple of the photos
The curvy branches look rather like curly willow.
Can you post closeups of a branch with leaves?
Almost certainly Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'
Corkscrew Willow is one name.
One of my hiking sticks is made from one of those kind of stems, with a Walnut know on top.
The one in your photo was likely topped or pollarded once in the past.
M. D. Vaden of Oregon
After seeing pictures of the curly/corkscrew willow on the web, i'm pretty sure these are what I have as well.
Yes MD, you are right, the big tree in the picture was topped off by the previous owner who planted them throughout the periphery of the lot.
I'm a bit surprised you use it for a hiking stick, they seem to be very brittle once the wood is dried or dead. The green ones are stronger, the curly shape is good for hiking though.

By now, most of us have heard Cisco executives utter the words, "Work is no longer a place you go, but what you do." Now we've all heard hundreds of these snappy one-liners in our careers, written by some marketer for the sole purpose of making a particular presentation more memorable. And like you, I easily dismiss catchphrases soon after the completion of the presentation. But for me, this one is different – because it's so true. In fact, looking back over just the past 10-15 years, I find it hard to believe how much technology has changed the way we all live and work.
Even Security Administrators Deserve a Break – Part 1 of 2
Security Schemes – Why Keep Them Public?
Should we or should we not keep our security protocols and algorithms public? The debate has been going on for quite some time. It might even have taken place in the Roman Empire when Caesar Cipher was used to encrypt Julius Caesar's messages. It has been the norm for a long time for all new security methods to be published externally in order to receive academic and public scrutiny, in a way so that they prove themselves.

Adapting Levels of Assurance for the NSTIC
This is part of an ongoing series on the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The introduction to this series can be found here.
One of the goals of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is to support a wide range of use cases. These might include everything from low-value purchases to making adjustments to critical infrastructure, like power systems, where someone might get hurt if an unauthorized action takes place.

Think Before You Post – Beware of Social Networking Pitfalls
In this week's Cyber Risk Report we briefly discussed the fact that millions of individuals are victims of their own carelessness by freely posting information such as vacation plans and family photos on social networks and by storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as medical records and financial information, on mobile devices. Users are sometimes not properly educated when it comes to what types of information should be shared, and with whom they should be sharing this information. This lack of education and subsequent "overposting" of personal details is now trickling down to our youth, some of whom are under the legal age to even utilize some of these social network sites.

EastWest Institute's Second Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit
On June 1-2, I will be participating in the EastWest Institute's (EWI) second Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center in London, and I'm very excited about the prospects for this event.
EastWest Institute is a global, action-oriented, "think-and-do" tank founded in 1980. Its goals are to mobilize leading business and government leaders to address cross-border cybersecurity challenges; set new models for private-public-sector leadership in addressing high-priority security threats and vulnerabilities; and to make advances on the most pressing issues in global management of critical information infrastructure with breakthrough international collaboration.
I'm particularly energized about this year's session, as I anticipate we will continue and expand upon the dialogue initiated at last year's inaugural summit in Dallas. I'm proud to have participated in that event, along with other government, business, and civil society leaders from around the world who came together to collaborate on ways to assure the security of the world's digital infrastructure.

If you love reality TV then there is no way that you can miss Celebrity Big Brother this month. Last night CBB 2015 premiered on Channel 5 and oh my was it magical. The theme this time round is twisted fairy tale which has resulted in the house looking like dark, mystic woods and the celebrities expected to be put under an evil spell or two. What really got the party started was the arrival of the first housemate, Katie Hopkins - the woman everyone loves to hate because let's face it, she seems to hate everyone.

I put this in primary on 1-30-07. I kept the mash at 153 degrees, and used a washed pacman yeast with a starter. I was hoping for a f.g. of around 1.017-1.018 to have a bit of sweetness/maltiness to balance the hops. I've had trouble in my cool house (62-63 degrees) getting pacman (or even 1056) to finish below 1.020 for other beers. This time, I had an o.g. of 1.071, finishing at 1.010. Can anybody help me figure out why I finished so low, when I was trying to get it a bit higher?
13 lbs 2-row
6 oz Maris Otter malt
.75 Warrior 16.4% (continuous 60-5 mins)
.50 simco 12% (continuous 30-5 mins)
.50 amarillo 8.5% (continuous 30-5 mins)
Dry hop with .5 simco and 1.0 of amarillo.
Used 1.2 qts/lb at 170.1 to bring mash temp. to 154. Added a bit more hot water to hit the temp of 153. Let sit for about 70 minutes (sick kid to pick up at school!)Sparged with 170 water (batch, twice). Runnings never did drop s.g. much, so I stopped with 7.5 gallons of wort.
It does taste good, and I'm sure it'll be better after the dry hopping. It's a gorgeous pale color with a great bitterness. But, I'm hoping to figure out why it attenuated too well, so I can adjust for next time. Thanks!
Isn't part of the deal with Pacman that it attenuates like crazy?
If you want a higher FG (although not more sweetness, per se), shoot for a higher mash temp; 153 is still, just slightly, on the low side, i.e. above-average fermentability (moreso if it dropped much during the mash).
Thanks, bird! I guess I was thinking 153 was going to give me less fermentables, I didn't realize that maybe 158 would be better for what I was looking for. . Maybe I need to think about getting a new thermometer, too. I'm wondering how accurate it really is.
I've used pacman twice before, and even though everyone else said the attenuation was very high, that wasn't my experience before with it. This time, it really went to town!
Thanks again!
Also, your recipe didn't include any grain that would contribute a bunch of unfermentables. Adding crystal malts would have added a little more in there and made it finish a little higher.

These simple and well-thought-out glasses were created by young designer Félicie Eymard Ericsdóttir for Belgian glassware brand Durobor. Called Sopp, which means mushrooms in Norwegian, the glasses feature curvy shape. Designer claims that this shape makes them easier to handle. Sopp comes in three sizes, which are made from the same mold. Thanks to this unified base, the glasses can be stacked. The product is a 2014 Mad Surprize Young Belgian Design Product Design award winner. Photography by Julien Hayard

Square by Askman
Danish furniture manufacturer Askman, successfully collaborate with some of Denmark's best contemporary designers. Along with their 100 years experience in woodworking — which offers the base foundation for all their products — Askman have produced these wonderfully minimal furniture pieces; Square, designed by Jørgen Møller. Having been designing for Askman for more than 25 years, Jørgen Møller has created a remarkable collection of elegant, functional and minimalistic products. His Square series is a brilliant example of his work, which includes a magazine holder, box, and a nest of tables. It's the quiet simplicity and the one primary shape (square) used throughout these pieces that has the minimalist in me appreciating everything about Møller's designs.
Los Angeles based West of West created, in cooperation with Chris Noell, an experimental surfboard; Aero. A board built around the streamlined image of speed. The classic outlines of a planing hull blend with an asymmetrical split tail. The top is minimal while the bottom is extensively contoured. Ridges and valleys emerge from the bottoms surface, forming a new topography that reacts to speed and flow in unique ways. It is the contrast between top and bottom, connected by the striking split tail that I particularly like. Notable is the fin missing at the bottom and I wonder how that influences the directional stability. I imagine it can take a while to tame the board before you can head out and conquer impressive barrels. Aero was built for and displayed at the Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles.
Triangle Hanger
Berlin-based Roomsafari has developed the ultimate in clothing accessories. Their Triangle Hanger is that said ultimate. Available in two finishes; silver aluminum and powder-coated black aluminum, this piece is simple, classic and designed to streamline storage. Inspired by the eponymous percussion instrument, this exceptionally minimal design features a hollow aluminum triangle, with an opening that replaces the hooks of conventional hangers. Designed by Christine Nogtev and Chul Cheong for Roomsafari, this piece is a beautiful and minimal statement of stripped-back functionality that also formally makes a bold statement. Available through Odetothings, this piece acts as the perfect silhouette. Photography courtesy of Odetothings.
Macedonian design duo Natali Ristovska and Miki Stefanoski recently collaborated to produce Stripe — a multifunctional box that allows for a wide variety of configurations and forms. A single modular element is the essence of this lightweight storage and shelving box making it incredibly simple for you to design your own compositions. The designers write: Stripe boxes connect together to create customisable cube furniture. You can get even more creative by giving the Stripe a new function. An individual element can be perfectly suited as a storage box, table, transport box or seating at the same time. Perfect for people who move a lot! Stripe can also be installed and reconfigured in just a minute, with any number of units, anywhere. From rows of stacked shelving blocks to a simple little side table, I could certainly make great use of a white collection of these beautiful boxes throughout my home. Photography by Ani & Dimi.
Chunk by Andreas Engesvik for Menu, is a simple and beautiful vessel for illumination. Designed specifically for Menu, this piece is available in both a marble and raw concrete finish. Both incredible. They are finished with either metal or copper insets to house the candle, and can be purchased in three differing sizes. Designed so that as the candle burns, the light reflects in the copper giving a beautiful glow; perfect for dinner tables and window sills; an industrial yet romantic look. Originating from Norway, Andreas Engesvik's body of work has been highly acclaimed and diverse, but always consistent and minimal. This piece is no exception. Standing both 35mm, 55mm and 75mm high, all S,M,L have a diameter of 75mm. Available through Menu, Chunk are sure to become timeless classics. Photography courtesy of Menu.
Wrong for Hay x Daniel Emma
Australia-based creative duo Daniel Emma created two little desktop organizers for indispensable items like paper clips and pushpins; Cork Cone & Magnetic Tower. The cone, 90 x 130mm, and tower, 65 x 100mm,are made of natural cork. For those who want more contract in material and colour; the tower available in ash as well. I love the simplicity of the desktop organizers with their geometric shapes and natural materials and appearance. Originally both organizers were produced as part of the D.E. desk, a range of self produced desktop accessories. Now they are Daniel Emma's contribution to Sebastian Wrong's on-going WRONG FOR HAY collection commissioned by Hay.
Fade is a collection of vessels and furniture for the bathroom, created by Stockholm based designers John Astbury and Kyuhyung Cho. It consists of 13 pieces: a low ash table, ash and copper mirror, and a collection of ceramic trays and vessels in parian clay. Designers explain: Beginning with a period of research on the subject of bathing we began to view it as both ritual and a metaphor for the work. To see ritual and water as both a transforming element and a moment of reflection. This is the foundation for the collection. The aim was the representation of the invisible, of transformation within the objects. I like the geometry within the objects, the subtle contrast between relaxed and constricted shapes in each volume. Designers say, that the shifting tones of the collection represent the view on bathing as a ceremony and nature as a transformative element. Photography by Stephanie Wiegner
Spanish La Mamba Design Studio has re-visioned the conventional mirror. Their Mirrors collection, available through Omlette-ed, is a collection of understated beautiful lines and details manifested as a series of circular, vertical and horizontal standing mirrors. Comprised of a steel tubular frame, available in both black and white powder-coated metal finishes, these room adornments are the subtle dinner guest. The guests that everyone wants to know. La Mamba are based in Valencia, Spain and founded by designers Ommar Uribe, Pedro Rivera, and Raul Dura. Formally, these are unassuming, but the design and level of considered articulation of all elements is clear. These beauties stand at just over 1700mm high and are finished seamlessly with cork detailed legs. Nods to La Mamba. Photography courtesy of Omlette-ed.
Korefe's concept and design for The Deli Garage: L'eaundry is subtly bold concurrently. The luxury brand introduced the new range of luxury detergents that resonate scents of high-end boutique perfume houses. The notion to treat your second skin like your first is the crux of the line. The graphic design and packaging is a nod to this. Korefe is a multidisciplinary design firm based in Hamburg, Germany. Their body of work and expertise extends to areas of advertising, books, corporate design, corporate publishing, interior design, brand innovation and assistance with product development. L'eaundry is a beautifully considered product whose brand is reinforced by the integrated, and obvious, design integration. Available in both Figue pour Femme and Olibanum pour home, all of a sudden the arduous task of laundry doesn't seem, or smell, so bad. Photography courtesy of Korefe.
World Clock
This small and minimalist timepiece by Korean studio Elevenplus encompasses 24 different timezones in its body. The trick is in the cylinder that allows you to view and switch between geographic locations in a single intuitive motion. Simply rotate the clock to put the desired timezone on top, and you will have the correct time. The designers explain: Let's say someone living in New York wants to know the time in London. When it is 5:57 pm in New York, you can see that is is 10:57 pm in London if you roll the clock so that London appears on top. See the number on the clock to read the hour and the position of the minute hand to read the minutes. The hands of this world clock move independently from the rest of its body, so they quickly transition to any timezone. The piece comes in three colors: gray, blue and orange. Check out the video to see the clock in action.
Hank Harness
HANK is an extremely simple product with a very sophisticated concept. Designed and developed by Berlin-based llot llov, Hank is an adjustable harness that holds glass mirrors with a v-shaped rope and a single drill hole, helping abandoned mirrors regain their rightful place on the wall. The kit consists of a wooden knob, waxed cotton rope and small aluminium plates, and comes in two sizes that cover every size and shape of mirror — as clever as it is light, says llot lov. The studio develops furniture, products, light and interiors and organize manufacturing and dispatch of their own label. Their design is both functional and emotional. According to their philosophy, they are often playful, always visionary, and work conceptually to aesthetically improve our day-to-day world. Photography by Ender Suenni.

Biomimetic Materials Engineering Laboratory
Website: http://people.bu.edu/wonglab
Principal Investigator: Joyce Wong
The Biomimetic Materials Engineering Laboratory is focused on the development of biomaterials to probe how structure, material properties and composition of the cell-biomaterial interface affect fundamental cellular processes. Specifically, we are interested in developing substrata with features that mimic physiological and pathophysiological environments to study fundamental cellular processes at the biointerface. Current research projects include tissue engineering of small diameter blood vessels for bypass and intravascular pharmacology (e.g. stents); development of targeted nano- and micro-particle contrast agents for multi-modal (magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and optical) detection of atherosclerotic and vulnerable plaque; and engineering biomimetic systems to study restenosis and breast cancer.

Tim Johnson, Why Do You Ride?
Strava Pro, cyclocross National Champion, PeopleforBikes advocate and the fearless leader of the Ride on Chicago answers a simple question for us: Why do you ride bikes?
Aren't We All People For Bikes?
As cycling continues to grow as a sport and means of transportation, Strava wants to help ensure that the support and infrastructure does too. We are working together with PeopleForBikes to just that.
