The Space
The "Heidi House" Chalet is situated at 1200 m altitude, in the savoyard village of Villarivon. Built in 2011 it combines modernism of its equipment (solar energy, heating, shutters electric..) to the charm of the traditional firm Savoy with his cuffs in wood, its zinc roof and its logs. Located on the slope of the Sun high tarentaise, exposed South, it enjoys maximum sunshine, with a superb view on the Valley and its snow-covered slopes. Close to Bourg Saint Maurice (6km), it also allows to enjoy the multiple activities of the grandiose domain skiing "Paradiski", including les Arcs and la Plagne (12 minutes from the funicular).
Les marmottes (6 persons):
this is a ground floor apartment which has a terrace and a garden facing South. It consists of a large living room with a kitchen living room and a sitting area. It has also 2 bedrooms and a corner at night a bathroom with bathtub. A large storeroom.
A privative parking per apartment.
Sheets are provided and included in the price.
Internet and Wifi available free of charge.
During the winter holidays:
From December 21st, 2013 till January 4th, 2014 and from February 15th till March 8th, the reservations can be made only over a week from Saturday till Saturday.
Murielle was very vniamatelnoy and friendly hostess. The kitchen has all the equipment and posuda.Moya a family of 5, was initially upset because not very large room (2 bedrooms, kitchen and living room and large): We have in this apartment for 17 days.
Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine dans le chalet très confortable de Murielle. Tout est y est très favorable : les petites allées propres qui entourent le chalet, le chauffage au sol, les chambres... et le lit bébé qui a été très apprécié ! La vue du chalet est exceptionnelle, et le petit village charmant.
A notre arrivée, nous avons été un peu surpris à la lecture du réglement strict, et des amendes occasionnées par un ménage défaillant, et avons compris que derrière ces quelques lignes se cachait surtout une hôtesse méticuleuse et très attentive à ce que l'accueil reste parfait. Quoi qu'il en soit, nous avons fait le plus attention que nous pouvions durant notre séjour.
Les balades à Valezan, village tout proche, sont très belles.
La descente à Bourg-Saint-Maurice a été un peu difficile le premier jour, dûe à la neige et aux petites routes sinueuses, mais les jours suivants ont été plus cléments afin de se rendre sur les pistes en toute sécurité. Néanmoins, nous reviendrons avec quatre pneus neige plutôt que deux ;)
Un grand merci
Murielle was a wonderful host. She knew of our interest in mountain walking so she had printed some maps and brochures just for us. The apartment was roomy, very comfortable and just 15' from Bourg St Maurice with its shops and conveniences. We really liked the area, not just for the mountains but also for the history and cultural heritage. We really intend to return and we definitely want to stay at Chalet Heidi again. Thanks Murielle for a sejour parfait!
We were 6 people who spend a night at Charmant chalet. We arrived at 14:00 witch was no problem. We actually decided the time our self, we just had to let Murielle know when we wanted to arrive, so that was very flexible. We were only gonna spend a night, and was looking for a cheap apartment or chalet for 6 people, close to Tignes ski resort. Every thing in the chalet was new, and in perfect order. The living room was fine, but not to big. There was chairs and space for all 6 of us. There was floor heating and radiators in the rooms but i recommend that you ask Murielle to turn on the heat a few hours before you arrive. At least in the winter. Because it will take some time for the floor heating to get warm. The view from the chalet is beautiful. Other than this, I would recommend this chalet to others who seek a cheap chalet for max 6 people not to far from skiing destinations, or if you want a summer chalet with nice views in a small town.
We spend the night in week 3 in 2012.

Is the Schwegmann name destined to go the way of Albers, Alterman Bros., Bettendorf, Bohack, Cullum Cos., Henke & Pillot, Milgram Food Stores, J. Weingarten and Wetterau? Let's hope that fate will intervene in some way to prevent the name of the first family of food retailing in Louisiana from joining the long roster of once-robust family companies that are now gone. But the outlook isn't great at the moment. The name of Schwegmann is a proud one. The company was founded in 1869 by the ...

Thanks guys - I appreciate it! That helps me understand a bit more about the balance of the two phases.
Man,... That's a lotta hooch!Steel rig in progressebuild info
I need a little help with some switches. I saw these on a fellow HBers build and needed a little help understanding the lingo.
What I am looking for:
1. 120v switch
2. illuminates when in the on position, no illumination in the off position.
3. Static switch (I believe the correct term for that is "maintained"). i.e. there is no spring mechanism on the switch. I turn it left or right and it stays where I dial it to.
4. Based on the electric brewery site I think I am looking for N.O. (normally opened)contact block.
Is this the switch for me?
Appreciate the help, I am trying to upgrade my lingo with switches so I am not so apprehensive to buy them Update:
Answer from PJ on another thread:
#1 - This depends on how you wire the indicator lamp. If you wire it from the switch load side (through the lamp to neutral) it will be on only when the switch is on. If you wire it from the power input side it will be always on.
#2 - That particular switch is a maintained switch. (No spring return.)
...trying to keep this information together for my build
I did some toying with my faceplate control panel layout. So I attached a picture of what I came up with.
I still have yet to decide if I will suck it up and buy a big heat sink, or keep with the smaller sinks I have and use fan. If I do go the fan route I have decided that I will wire in the fan to the element hot side of the 120 lines coming out of the contactor. This way, the fan will be triggered on whenever an element is fired and it won't require a separate switch on the face plate.
The on/off power to each element will be controlled by a contactor.
I still have to decide if I want the ventilation fan to be separate or included in the control panel. So that is TBD as well.
I have toyed with the idea of an overhead swing arm light (for basement brewing). That may be a part of the panel too. Still some thinking to be done on if that makes sense or not. Pretty easy to keep those parts separate. Let me know what you guys think.
So I got a heck of a deal on ebay on some things and it totally will change out my layout and switches.
Bought myself a 16x12x8 enclosure and a ton of the basic switches, individual lights and a couple more contactors. Last night I put in my order for more terminal blocks so it looks like I will be able to start the fabrication of the box sooner than expected.
Pictures to follow in the coming days for sure!
Just curious - is there any reason to trhow out the back plate on this?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...d=788559233001
(this is the enclosure I bought)
I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to tap in all the components (terminal bus, contactors, etc.) to the plate and leave it in the box. Does anyone see a problem with that?
that link isn't working for me.. but I used a similar enclosure for mine.
what else would you do with the back plate? I did exactly what you mentioned, I screwed my DIN rails, terminal blocks, contactors, etc. to the backplate. That's what it's for right?
Still confused..
On the website, it clearly shows his components mounted to the backplate...
Ha ! I swear I am not crazy, ok maybe a wee bit. You are right about electric brewery - I screwed up there and completely blame that fabrication on my brain. But look at this odd jpeg screen shot from that ebay posting. I take this as, pull out metal back plate and toss to garbage. weird, but I am going to use it to hold components.
No, it says to toss the standoff covers into the garbage. Your panel should have had these plastic caps over the four backplate standoffs and the grounding posts. They're trivial, toss 'em and install the backplate.

A Small Salute to Some Great Singers
February 1, 2015
For some years now I have had the pleasure and honor to read a selection of poetry intersecting the songs sung by ViVoce. ViVoce is the outreach ensemble of the Portland Revels. They are an a capella women's ensemble and sing songs from around the world, two performances in winter and two in summer in concert. Directed by Bennett Bailey and Jamie Lynn Webster, and managed by Antonia Forster; who wisely chooses the poetry.
Often, my partner Anne-Louise also joins me to tell traditional stories rewritten to provide a humorous theatrical interlude. We have a great time doing this, and we are always somewhat deflated when the two concerts are over.
Until now I have not thought of a way of telling everyone involved how much I think of them and the amount of hard work they put into such a short exposure to the public. Two concerts in January and two in June.
Today, February 1st, when many Americans are glued to a panel that will sell them things they don't need for four or five hours and call it a football game, I sat and listened to the ensemble rehearse for the second winter performance. And it came to me to write a poem. A poem for them, and about what they really do. Here it is…
Never Doubt
Never underestimate what you do
Never doubt that somehow
That somehow your voices;
Striking out clearly
Striking out and beautifully reflecting
Off stone and wood;
That you voices find homes
In the minds of listeners.
We who are listening transfixed,
Made to open our hearts,
Open to a sweet, bittersweet knowing.
We listeners almost willingly frozen
Receive a gift, another chance.
A chance to open dark chambers
And let the light of your music pour in.
Whether we know it or not
We are permanently changed.
Never doubt the value of what you do.
Sure, it is a little ragged and I will edit it sometime. But it is a start to thanking them for their acceptance and kindness. More about ViVoce at this LINK
I'll Always Have Paris; Episode One
November 17, 2014
Most mornings, no matter what else I eat for breakfast, I butter a large piece of baguette from Grand Central Bakery and dip it into my coffee. As I pop it into my mouth the butter is melting, mixing with the honey sweetened coffee and I am once again in Paris on the morning of August 21th 1962, my sixteenth birthday. I am sitting with Wally, a school friend, and about fifty other teenagers from many countries in the cafeteria of the Auberge Jeunesse Internationale somewhere close to the Pigalle Metro station, just down the Boulevard from Le Moulin Rouge.
The day before Wally and I had cycled from Beauvais to Paris; about fifty five miles; stage four or etape quatre on our two week bike tour of North Western France. Wally, whose real name was Alan Wallace, was not a close friend. We were in the same year at secondary school; The Skinners' Company School for boys. He was about to focus his studying on English and Languages; I would study Sciences and Mathematics (more about this choice later). We did not ordinarily mix. The only things we had in common were a love of cycling and perhaps a curiosity about France.
No Englishman can ever be neutral about France. It is close not just geographically but emotionally. Since Wally and I both lived in Kent the only thing that separated us from France was a shallow ditch of navigable salt water twenty two miles wide called The Channel by the English and La Manche by the French. The history of our country and indeed the county of Kent where we lived were soaked in a thousand years of Anglo-French arguments, diplomatic spats, invasions, ententes, and in 1944, a rescue.
In the late fifties and sixties a wave of visits and 'exchanges' began. Organized by language teachers on either side they sought to introduce each new edition of their youth to their opposites. It has worked very well. Nearly every town in the UK now has a 'twin' city in France and more recently in any number of other European countries. But in the summer of 1962 these programs were in their infancy. Wally and I were in the forefront, boldly carrying a tiny piece of teenage Englishness to France. But that is not how two fifteen year old schoolboys rationalized and planned a two week cycle tour in the winter of 1962.

Upated Medical Condition – Serious!
November 8, 2014
I think I posted this poem a few years ago when it was shorter. It contains, in a jocular style, a list, an inventory of medical or physical concerns I once presented and will again to my doctor. As the years go by the list, and the poem, grow longer. Here is the version I read last Thursday at Songwriters Roundup at Artichoke Music. Which by the way is a terrific institution and musical hang out. Check out this LINK.
My Medical Inventory
or erectile is not my only dysfunction
Scanning from the ground upward over my torso
Reveals an disturbing inventory of dysfunction and decay
Brachymetatarsia, in both feet!
Unequal leg length
Reconditioned knees
Atrophied right quadriceps
Hernia Scar
L4 & L5 Vertebrae way too chummy.
Are these breasts?
Are these jowls?
A score of epithelial polyps decorate my neck and torso
Gum recession
Moderate gastro intestinal reflux
Causing persistent rhinitis.
Three diopter challenge in both eyes
Now between cataract procedures
Dermatochalassis, left and right
Somewhat corrected by Blepharoplasty
Scintillating scotoma (look it up!)
Finally to cap it all
Androgenic alopecia
With rear solar panel developing.
And yet when asked
I reply, Oh, I'm fine! I'm fine.
And you, and you, still love me.
Approved Opthalmic Tea Strainer
November 1, 2014
Earlier this year I had Blepharoplastic surgery. This was to improve my peripheral vision which was being slowly compromised by drooping eyebrows. It certainly changed the way I looked. Indeed for a while, as the wounds healed, I was as you see, hideous.
Nine days ago I had the first of two cataract surgeries; the most common daily procedure at any hospital. The surgeon was three hours late. The procedure took less than fifteen minutes. After a night's sleep I went as usual to the mirror to shave and immediately noticed the sharp improvement in near vision in the left eye. This improvement also allowed me to examine for the first time the corrugated nature of my skin, the fissures, ridges and grooves, the blemishes and tags that had been developing there for some time but hidden from my perception by a failing lens. It was a bittersweet moment. Now I was beginning to see myself as others do.
I am now wondering what will be my reaction when in two weeks' time the right eye will also receive a new lens. All those gruesome features marking my face will then be in 3D.
Nevertheless, I can only marvel at the procedure and am thankful it is so mundane. Here is a picture of my face wearing the approved ophthalmic tea strainer which protects the eye at night from poking and prodding.
What Air Travel Does To The Creative Mind
October 10, 2014
Air travel gives you a tremendous opportunity to write. Even if your plane is curiously on time there are hours spent waiting in various holding pens, waiting on the aircraft itself before it lurches off the ground and of course those happy hours aloft with nothing to disturb the even flow of creative thoughts except the vomiting child next to you and the scientifically programed interruptions from the crew reminding you of all manner of things you really needed to know; or not. If we add to this the interesting gas that passes for breathing air on an airliner one can hardly be surprised if any writing done on an airliner is anything but a touch morbid.
And so, I submit this poem written en route Boston to Portland very recently. I think it demonstrates the dangers of air travel very clearly. As I recover from that trip I may edit this poem and so ask you to view it as a work in progress and join me in hoping that I don't have to fly anywhere soon unless I am upgraded to the nirvana behind the dark curtain where the privileged sprawl on vast cushions slopping up champagne and chowing on free nosh.
I met life one day
Walking along
And life joined me to talk.
For years we walked,
It was fine, my life.
And later,
When I stumbled
Life would slow down,
Waiting for me.
Now I stumble more
And life waits even longer,
So that I wonder when
Life will turn and say,
"I can wait no longer"
Striding onwards.
Then I will have a new and darker companion
Who does not walk with me, or ahead,
But silently behind.
Who was there always
Some distance
Unseen around a corner of perception.
But now I have to see,
And I find myself
Picking up the pace
To stay ahead
Ahead of that dark silent figure
Who will, one day, cover me
With an inescapable shadow.
How I Met Your Mother
September 18, 2014
It is one of the commonplace items of conversation whenever Anne-Louise and I meet new friends or are in one of those social events that require some explanation. How did you meet. Over the forty years of our marriage I have perfected a suite of stories that satisfy most occasions. Of course, Anne-Louise has her own, closer to the truth accounts.
Here is one of my favorites. I have told it to my children with various results, mostly pleas for mercy.
How I Met Your Mother
As some, or even many perhaps, of you know, it was more than forty years ago when a small piece of history was made. It was in the early seventies when a forward thinking scion of American-Italian New Jersey aristocracy summoned his most trusted, reliable and need I say daring, bondsmen to the sound proofed lounge of his modest palazzo in the bosky suburbs close to New York City. So close one could almost smell the halitosic breath of the toll booth attendants on the George Washington Bridge when the winter winds came off the palisades into the discreet residential enclaves to the west of Fort Lee. In the brisk directive and uncompromising terms characteristic of this economically worded man his associates were charged with the special task that would shake the world. It was a task that once completed would eliminate a serious challenge he had been facing. A family challenge.
A few months later I was sitting quietly in a pub where I was not well enough known to cause a problem; The Bottle and Glass at Binfield Heath, Berkshire, England. It was indeed a quiet night. Before me stood a pint, my second that evening, of Brakspear's ordinary; an affordable session beer favored by young men of limited means. An innocent and yet attractive young man quietly enjoying his respite from his hectic career as research laboratory schlepsman and apprentice layabout.
To my left and right two equally innocuous and innocent Englishmen, who I later realized, must have been bribed. Conversation had fallen to the acceptable murmur that amongst Englishmen passes for heated discussion. We were debating as usual the age old question that troubled most Englishmen of our vintage. When were we next getting our leg over, if ever? Outside the softly falling summer night caressed the trees and the rusting fenders and bodywork of the parked British made cars.
From out of this seeming gentle darkness four darkly clad and plainly foreign men; they had good teeth; burst into the public bar of the Bottle and Glass, pushed aside my two companions, rapidly gagged and bound me and laid me in the trunk of an enormous American car that hurtled off into the night. At this moment I lost consciousness.
I hope you can imagine my surprise upon waking to find myself in a modern church sitting bolt upright in the front right pew. There appeared to be a marriage in process. Judging by the colorful costumes; of the men; it was an American marriage. As I looked around at the packed pews and saw that every eye was upon me, and finding that I was wearing a rented morning suit, and that a pearl gray top hat rested in my lap, I came rapidly to the stunning conclusion that the marriage in question was my own. I saw that escape was unlikely and stiffened my lip for the worst.
An unseen hand playing upon an invisible keyboard let loose a strangely familiar refrain and a hundred and thirty heads swiveled to the rear of the church. Thinking this might be a chance to make my escape through the sacristy I carefully rose to my feet. A heavy hand from behind pressing on my shoulder prevented this move and added the gutturally whispered words, "Not yet, big boy".
The familiar refrain continued amid gasps from the assembly. I quaked, imagining the horror that was about to reveal itself. As the notes faded into the brickwork the heavy hand now gripped my collar and hoisted me to my feet with the rasping instruction, "OK Limey, its playtime!"
I had never been so reluctant to look left, but remembering that I was in some as yet unrewarded way representing England on a foreign shore and that I had already stiffened my lip, I slowly turned to face my future. I almost fainted. With relief. For there, smiling at me with the sweetest brown eyes and a laughing mouth was a lovely vision in white. Towering over her left was the aristocrat himself. I felt his powerful gaze upon me and smiling weakly stumbled into the aisle to begin the best years of my life with an amazing woman.
And that is how I met your Mother.
Thank you, Jacques Brel
August 20, 2014
My Dear Jacques,
Did you ever think that when you started to write songs in far away Belgium in the 1940's that an ageing Baby Boomer would adopt your songs as his shtick and hawk his version around a west coast city in America.
It must happen to a lot of writers. I mean, who sits down to write and says to themselves, "I don't care if no-one ever reads this or uses it while I am alive; this is for that person who has perhaps not even been born"? No, most of us work for the time in which we live and act. And yet by far the bulk of any writer's fans will be those who find his or her material long after their remains have rotted away to dust. In his lifetime Bill Shakespeare could probably count on a few hundred, maybe a thousand folk of his acquaintance who would dare to say they liked his work and would defend it against whoever reigned. And now Bill has a fan club of possibly billions.
And so, Jacques, I wonder if it ever occurred to you that your work had more staying power than you thought at first?
I have to say that when I first listened to the "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris' album I was not immediately bowled over. I did not go, aha, this is the kind of music that I can get into and through which I can reveal my own true character and musical aspirations. Well, I was only 28. But over the years as I listened again and again something happened and when I was in my fifties I suddenly found that your songs had gotten into my psyche and would not go away.
It did occur to me that I was only affected by the English version that Blau and Shuman had produced in New York in the 1970's. So I bought CD's of you actually singing your own work, and found yet more depth and interest in the music; and the discovery that the NYC review had sampled only 22 examples and there were so many more.
So how is it that your music is the vehicle for my musical aspiration? You are not the only other writer I admire. Somewhere in your work there must be the connection with my mind that pushed me. Something that said, Bob, you can do this, it is you. Whereas I feel somewhat out of place and uncomfortable singing Leonard Cohen or John Lennon, I feel absolutely at ease when I sing your work, and feel thoroughly connected to it.
I do sing others songs, and with pleasure, but it has been your work that gave the platform from which to begin. And so I thank you, Jacques, from my heart, from the stage where I am and hopefully from the stage where I want to be…
Your late, very late fan,
Bob Sterry
Immigration Jokes…Not So Funny
August 1, 2014
This week someone close to me sent me a joke about Mexican immigrants. I did not find it amusing. Here is my response.
"Dear X,
know you are only trying to amuse me, but I find these kinds of jokes just a little hard to swallow. So please forgive me if I sound a little upset in this response. I send it with love knowing you will read and accept that you and I cannot always think alike. But you knew that anyway!
Every time I ride my bike past a field of beans or berries or corn, in my leisure, I can see groups of twenty or more Mexicans working producing food that will appear later in my local Thriftway. It was 90 Deg. F. today and will be the same for the rest of the week. They work for minimum wage or less and live in conditions that neither you nor I would tolerate for a day. Most of them go to local Catholic churches, and they bring their children too. They encourage those kids to go to school so they won't have to work in the fields when they become adults.
Neither you nor I can imagine the conditions in Mexico and Central American countries from where so many try to escape. You would have to go back to the late nineteenth century in Italy, Sicily and Poland and Russia to find an equivalent. It is not just poverty from which they are fleeing. It is extreme violence. Violence; much of which is caused by drug trafficking. Drugs that many white Americans seem to be happy to buy. Parents have no hope for their children in their own country and so they send them to the one place they desperately hope might help them. Would you or I do that? Under what terrifying conditions would one say goodbye to a ten year old daughter knowing you might never see her again? Under what terrifying conditions would an adult leave his family behind knowing that he or she might never see them again and that their lives remained in danger.
The recent crisis of children crossing into the US pales in comparison to other refugee issues around the world. Jordan, (a country the size of Massachusetts) has absorbed 600,000 Syrian refugees. Lebanon (the size of Connecticut) has absorbed as many. A new wave of Iraqi refugees is about to hit neighboring countries. In North Africa there are millions of displaced people moving from one country to another to escape religious violence or famine, often both.
Fifty thousand Hispanic children is a drop in the bucket. Double it and it would still be a small number. America can absorb these children so easily. And would it be different if they were Chinese, or Korean, or Indian, or Vietnamese, or any other race? Not in my eyes. The idea that any race other than white Europeans has any merit is utterly unacceptable. I think, I know, it might even be a Christian ethic.
The idea that Mexico and Central America is full of freeloaders looking for a handout, a free ride, is unacceptable. Of course, not every one of them is as upstanding, moral and hardworking as the next man or woman. But then neither were many that had their names changed as they passed through Ellis Island a century ago. And neither are so many whose antecedents arrived long before that. No race is born lazy; none.
A better solution to the problem is for the richer countries of the world to help those countries change. America has a great record of trying to do that, although political meddling has tarnished it often (Chile is an example). Sure millions of dollars have been spent to little effect and yet our standard of living is affected less than that than by the trillions we spend on our defense budget; to little or no effect. Iraq remains a total disaster, Afghanistan the same. Do not misunderstand me. We do need defending, seriously, but not against a few children.
When I decided to stay in America it was in very large part thanks to the generosity of my future in-laws, their family and their friends, and the feeling that I was welcome. My contribution to the common good of America in the last forty years will be no larger than some of the men I see working in those hot fields. It is no larger than the dedication of the Mexican mothers I see shepherding their children to school before they go to work in cleaning, retail, food prep., and all the dirty jobs no-one else wants. Who exactly is lazy now?
I hope you can see why I don't care for the joke you sent me. As I said, I know you were trying to amuse me, but it can't. It's not that I am entirely guiltless myself. I have my own learnt reflexes to people who seem different. It is more that as I get older I find it harder to accept that I am any better or worse than any other human on the planet.
And so I hope you will understand if I ask you not to send me these kind of jokes.
Sent with love and respect.
Here is the 'joke' they had sent me.
"Tough shit, Amigo"
A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute Mexican refugee outside an
Arizona immigration office.
"Good man," the fairy said, "I've been sent here by President Obama and told
to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in the United States with your
wife and eight children."
The man told the fairy, "Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth, so
I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them."
The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and — PING !– he had a
brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!
"What else?" asked the fairy, "Two more to go."
The refugee claimant now got bolder. "I need a big house with big three-car
garage in Annapolis on the water with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest
of my relatives who still live in my country.. I want to bring them all over here" —
and PING– in the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three-car garage, a long driveway, and a walkout patio with a BBQ in an upscale neighborhood overlooking the bay.
"One more wish," said the fairy, waving her wand.
"Yes, one more wish. I want to be like an American with American clothes instead
of these torn clothes, and a baseball cap instead of this sombrero. And I want to
have white skin like Americans" —and — PING — The man was instantly transformed – wearing worn-out jeans, a Baltimore Orioles T-shirt, and a baseball cap. He had
his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
"What happened to my new teeth?" he wailed. "Where is my new house?"
The fairy said: "Tough shit, Amigo, now that you are a white American, you have to fend for yourself."

Transplanting mature bougainvillea
I've been working on a curbside gardening project this week and now that the prep work is ready, it's time to plant! I'm trying to do this on a budget so I've decided to transplant one or two bougainvilleas from the backyard into this new space. It's clay soil, full sun and will be surrounded by other drought tolerant plants.
My husband began the process of digging one out and it's more of a chore than I assumed. I'm not sure how long they have been in the ground but they were at least 8 feet tall when we moved in and we hard pruned them down to 6" to open up the space for a vegetable garden. The new growth is about 8" tall. The roots are really deep and super thick! I've heard their roots are really sensitive but since they're so thick I was thinking they could survive some hacking. He's cut through the thickest ones and it just needs to be lifted out.
Does anyone think it will survive the root cutting since it has very little top growth to support?
probably not... maybe.. who knows .... but i presume it is in active growth phase.. with lots of new growth that needs a lot of water ... it can be done.. but it going to be an aftercare nightmare ...
one alternative.. is to cut it way down.. and that way.. give the roots time to establish.. before it rebuds and gets going ...
but to be sure.. i dont have any experience with this particular plant ... so lets see if that can be done with this plant ...
if i were doing this... is would learn about propagation of such.. and propagate a few.. for FALL PLANTING ... if possible ... just because you make a space.. doesnt mean if has to be filled immediately .;.. you might grow some annual.. morning glory??.. in the spot.. until fall??? just an option ...
in the alternative.. hubby might be learning.. that one doesnt work this hard on moving what might be bought for $10 .. lol .. took me decades to learn that lesson ...
i am sure.. this isnt some rare hybrid.. one of a kind plant..
and i do fully understand budget... but again ... i would NOT do 8 hours of backbreaking work.. for $10??? ...
good luck
Many bonsai folk transplant bougainvilleas with success and turn the stumps into bonsai. Maybe ask this over on the bonsai forum...as to how they have success. (Just a thought) I know over on bonsainut.com we actually have a man named Sam who has had success with many pottings of old bougainvillea stumps turning them into bonsai. He would be able to give tons of advice...maybe pop over there and ask him.
I managed to get it out of the ground myself after my post. I cut two more thick roots and it was ready to go. I put it in its new hole and the small amount of regrowth that was on there got very sad and flopped over almost immediately.
We ended up getting a quarter inch of rain that night and by the next morning the branches were reaching up toward the sunlight as if nothing had ever happened.
I pinched it back yesterday to encourage it to stay compact and bushy. We'll see what happens.
I've attached a picture of what it looked like right before I moved it so everyone can marvel at the hack job I did ;)
I know those who turn them into bonsai put them into a grow box...slowly reducing the roots. But I have total faith that this will indeed be a successful transplant.
The bonsai enthusiast drools at the base of that trunk...totally can see it as a beautiful tree. You should google bougainvillea bonsai. There are some pretty spectacular trees out there! So you should not have trouble with keeping this contained. Pinch and grow method is used by many.

Best Place to Get Flogged (2003)
Club 84
Bitch-slapping's for sissies. Strap yourself into the dungeon-like slave pen, bend over, and let the flogging begin. Playing with the crosses and cage-like contraptions brings a whole new meaning to "going medieval." At the Fetish Box and the London Ballroom's monthly fetish romp, latex, leather, rubber, glam, and goth are among the few rules, not the exception -- you can't get in without sporting the garb (or at least an all-black outfit). The debaucherous playground is rife with industrial, electronic body music, and future pop beats spun by Dino, Ruiner, Falstaff, and Tommy Gunn. Fetish pinup diva and Playboy cover girl Dita Von Teese has headlined the club night, with her tease-to-please burlesque show. And where else might you have seen her perform this while cradled in a life-size martini glass? It just may leave your sore-assed self saying, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

Are these reasonable prices?
We are just finishing up a bathroom remodel project and I would like to incorporate some storage solutions under our sinks and in our linen cubpoard. I'm hoping I can get some advice on pricing of products.
Is $70 a reasonable price for a roll-out undersink drawer? It's available through Organize.com: http://www.organize.com/roll-out-undersink-drawer-11x18x14.html. Also, I was hoping for something coated in white rubber or the like so that the storage solution isn't so industrial looking.
I also found some acrylic drawer oranizers for approx $4 6 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches) a piece. I would need 15 of them so that starts to rack up in terms of cost.
Any ideas? Or should I just be happy that I found something that works for my space requirements and go with it?
Home depot has a wooden pull out drawer in 12 and 15 inch widths for $49.99 I would check hardware stores and Ikea before I paid that kind of money. If your husband is at all handy he could build a simple box and buy the roller slides to mount it. Check out dollar stores for your little organizers too.
Go for storage. You'll be very happy with it later on. My favorite kitchen "gadget" is a trash basket that hangs on the inside of the cupboard under the sink. Wonderful to prepare dinner and just throw the garbage/wrappers away without having to take more than a coupke of steps.
Once you know the right "terms" for what you want, like "roll-out undersink drawer white," plug those phrases into www.froogle.com (part of Google). It'll bring up different vendors' products, and you can change the listing's order to "priced low to high" to help.
I always do that when I'm looking for something online, and then I can compare those (when I add shipping costs) to what I see in the neighborhood stores.

No Atheists in Oklahoma
Glen Beck is saying surviving godless mother & child on CNN were a plant!
Is every new story being turned into Ripley's Believe it or not...paranoia conspiracy bizzaro world?
Beck's idea is that CNN producer doesn't like Christians oh for the LORD sake!
Here is a link that might be useful: you gotta believe
You mean the woman with Wolf Blizter?
Too funny, sure stopped Wolf in his tracks.
It must be very difficult, and embarrassing, for people who aren't terribly religious, believe in other gods, or are atheists to be bombarded by the phony religiosity over and over again every time something happens - good or bad.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link
It's presumptuous to assume everyone in "fly over" land believes as the rest of us do, we live in a very mobile society where people of all beliefs, or not, reside.
The young mother handled herself gracefully, Glen Beck is just silly ... but he does have followers otherwise we would not know/hear from him.
Anyone interested might be surprised by the results at the link....
....researchers found Utah to be the most Christian* state with around 78 percent of population identifying as Christian adherents. The researchers found Maine to be the least Christian state with only about 27 percent identifying as Christian adherents.
...California reported the highest number of Christian adherents, whereas Vermont reported the lowest
Here is a link that might be useful: State by State
I saw this live and laughed out loud. What a wonderful cheerful woman, not at all like the dour way atheists are portrayed by the Right. And for the azzhole Glenn Beck saying she was a plant?? I think HE'S a plant...from another planet.
When another guy who was pulled with injuries from his house demolished all around him said God was wonderful to him and took care of him. Really? I guess God didn't like the ten little kids who were killed and all the other adults. I guess God didn't care that 15,000 or more homes were lost and the community devastated.
This thing needs to be arrested I mean the one David Barton says sends tornadoes & meningitis. It's an angry brat that keeps breaking it's toys in not so mysterious ways! Maybe no atheists in fox holes but there was 1 in that tornado shelter!
The faithful or the fitful can pray for or at her!

Ohiomom, I did not mean to insult believers and I apologize for offending you. My point was not well put--I mean the phonies who use religiosity for a poltical agenda like Beck does. And they really are calling on a phony divine icon who, if such a divinity would actually exist, would hopefully never allow itself to be part of a political shill by a political hack. I hope that says things better than my initial comment.
If Beck is a plant from another planet then his mission must be to dumb down humans into a paranoid stew of fear and ignorance.
If God was responsible for the tornado that flattened the town of Moore and killed 2 dozen people then Beck should be preaching that God is a Terrorist.
I would guess Oklahoma is in the Bible belt. I have never been there, but I'm guessing the majority of the population is Christian and have a higher than average church attendance. Just guessing. So therefore we have not seen Pat Robertson come out the last few days saying God's wrath was caused by all the ...you name it, gays, queers, Muslims, unfaithful wives....
Do jihadists represent all Muslims?
Do extremists (whether Dem or Repub) represent all Dems or Repubs?
If the case is being made that the "Robertsons'" of the world represent all Christians then would it be fair to say that "all" white people are skinheads?
You see how this works? We, all of us, need to step back and think about how we define our sisters and brothers less we want to be painted with that same broad brush that some are fond of wielding.
Come together ....
....fueled by our faith in the Almighty and our faith in one another our prayers are with the people of Oklahoma today. And we will back up those prayers with deeds for as long as it takes. (President Obama)
No mockery? No criticism for him using the "Almighty and prayer"?
Come on now, some of you must be outraged that the president expressed/expresses his faith in God and prayer on a regular basis.
Don't hold back ... let him have it!!
"Come on now, some of you must be outraged that the president expressed/expresses his faith in God and prayer on a regular basis.

Ain't gonna happen. FWIW, i totally agree with your last 2 posts, Ohio. I'm glad it was you that said it, instead of me, though.
All too often, posts around here are reacted to not based on their truth, but by who posted them.
As to the OP, is there really a Beck fan here? I don't think so. He's a bit of a crank, isn't he.
I watched this video of Wolf and the atheist. Pretty funny. And they both did a good job recovering.
As for the people that think it's a plant, well I guess they just need a few more conspiracies to fill up that hole in their head where a brain is supposed to be.
I wonder if, at the height of the storm, the lady being interviewed thought something along the lines of "please let me and/or my baby survive this". If so, who was she addressing?
The same question could be asked of anyone who is an atheist who utters similar words in a time of stress or when their life is threatened.
Both Wolf and the interviewee recovered nicely from the classic "deer in the headlights" moment.
Ohio. I'm glad it was you that said it, instead of me, though.
All too often, posts around here are reacted to not based on their truth, but by who posted them.
ain't that the God's truth. :)
OMom is sincere. I know that for sure.
President Obama has testified that he trusted Christ for his salvation. Gasp! I know! Terrifying that he too would use a crutch, no?
Have a safe, memorable holiday weekend.
Well written, Ohio. Far too often, the majority of a group of people are judged by the extremes. The extremes are the ones who generate the publicity so people jump to the conclusion that the people they see on TV are typical of those in that group.
I've seen it happen here over and over and over.
No, no mockery, no criticism, I, for one, am pleased that the President has a belief that satisfies him. I have a belief that satisfies me.
Ultimately, neither President Obama, nor the Pope, or the Dali Lama, or Tenzin Gyatso, or Bartholomew I, or Dawoodi Bohras, or Ayman Rouhani, or anyone else, even on this forum, can claim to know what is ultimately TRUTH. What we believe is only true for us, individually.
The God that Wolf Blizter was referring to is our western Christian God, I seriously doubt Wolf (or his producer) would have interviewed or made the same comment to someone who appeared not to believe in our white Anglo-Saxon God.
President Obama has testified that he trusted Christ for his salvation. Gasp! I know! Terrifying that he too would use a crutch, no?
What? Our President is unintelligent?
Our President needs a crutch?
Our President believes in Fairy Tales?
Our President is not scientific?
Let's hear the disdain for the President that we hear for the rest of us Christians.
Nah, not going to happen.
"Pat Robertson is irrelevant."
Surely you jest. Why are his books flying off the shelves like hotcakes? Why do viewers of his "700 Club" daily send him tons of money, when asked? How does he keep a huge University and Law School going, and sending out missionaries to the 4 corners of the world if he is irrelevant? And trust me, he has already groomed his successor for when he passes on....
"A very well timed proclamation from the Pope this week. He said atheists will be admitted to heaven if they led a good life."
So, us atheists get to go to a place we don't believe exists when we expire? How comforting...
It sounds more like a desperate move on the part of the Catholic church to gain membership, which in turn gains it more in tithes.
Ohiomom, I freely admit that I mock extremists at times, or treat certain things with sarcasm... I simply can't help it... but it is everyone's right to believe as they wish. Some find comfort in it, and as Pidge said, it's not those who are truly decent that are the targets of such sarcastic darts, but those who use the ideals as they were not intended to be used... but I know you realize that much of what is said needs no such disclaimer, as you would probably agree that, in large part, many religions seem out of control these days.
Why would the President be mocked for a personal belief, when he displays no disrespect to persons different than himself, and doesn't insist that his religious beliefs be melded into the government. He simply says the things that any normal believer would say in his position.
If I were in his position, I'd simply say "thank reason" instead of "thank god"... and I'd issue no public statements using religious terminology.
I'm not sure why it's so surprising that a reporter would run into an atheist. I don't find it extraordinary.
Exactly. Just as I said, Pat Robertson is certainly NOT irrelevant despite those of you who wish he'd shut his mouth. He rakes in tons of money and has a multitude of people who listen to his every word.
Isn't it a little odd that people here who actually bought into the thought that Obama was a secret Muslim because of his middle name , now cite him a a wonderful Christian. Irony at it's best.
I am not an atheist, just not a church goer. I saw the hypocrisy of the bureaucracy of my own particular church when I was teenager. When I was a toddler there was one minister with an occasional student preacher from the Gettysburg seminary and a secretary. . When I was ready to leave home, that church employed so many people , it was a tidy little business.
I heard the Pope remark on Jimmy Kimmel show last night. He does report newsworthy info mainly when he wants to make a joke about it. I'm guessing it's true. Google it.
There are many non theist who are not necessarily atheist
"please let me & my baby get through this"
is so absolutely human and the plea doesn't necessarily have to imply that there is a recipient listening that will grant a future wish & make the petitioner special among so many others in the same circumstance.!
There are quite a number of non theistic Quakers, Paul Tilliich an ordained Lutheran Minister & Theologian would come close to challenging many Christians concepts of something out there with his
"God does not exist. He is being itself beyond essence and existence. Therefore to argue that God exists is to deny him"
Systems of belief & religions can always find insult particularly since they are human constructs often very concerned with pleasing or not offending or supplying their god or philosophy with more adherent's!

Which of "us" wish Pat Robertson would shut his mouth?
I don't care whether he shuts his mouth or screams what he believes from the mountaintop or every television station.
It's a free country (well, it was) and the first amendment hasn't totally disappeared.
Pat Robertson's opinions are irrelevant to me and my life.
"It sounds more like a desperate move on the part of the Catholic church to gain membership, which in turn gains it more in tithes."
I think most churches pass a donation plate (the electric bill has to be paid, for example). Mom encouraged us (Roman Catholic) kids to attend several different churches, in the interest of broadening our horizons, and they all passed baskets/plates. I've only known one tither in my lifetime, that I know of.
Tithing is not part of the Roman Catholic teaching. Used to be regarded as one of the âÂÂprecepts of the Churchâ - descriptions of the absolute minimum action required of adherents.These precepts are disciplinary (and not doctrinal) in nature.
I've only known one tither - a Mormon who unfortunately was found to be short on the 10% in order to pay the mortgage, feed the family, etc., lost church standing and was denied access to the temple.
Found this in a Google search... "Tithing always comes first in Mormonism. Any member who is struggling in any way (job loss, broken down car, depression, etc) will always be counseled to pay tithing in order to receive blessings. Mormons are required by Commandment of God to pay 10% of all their GROSS income to the LDS church. This includes all income, including, employment, social security, Medicare, food stamps and trust funds and any other form of income, even including finding money on the ground."

Come to Como
... however, the surrounding countryside is pretty - vineyards everywhere and distant snow covered mountains. We detoured to Desenzano on the banks of Lake Garda. Clearly a summer holiday town but a beautiful town situated on the shores of a huge lake. The water is crystal clear. Lunch at local trattoria consisting of local trout - scrumptious, a walk around town, purchase of veggies and fruit from local markets and off to the autostrada. ...
Sparkling Lights in Lugano
We arrived in this beautiful city at dusk so we weren't able to get the most out of it. Stayed there only for one hour and we spent that time in Parco Civico capturing the flickering lights of the city surrounded by mountains. The view from the shores of Lake Lugano was fascinating. It's truly a must-visit city and I'd love to go back and see it in broad daylight. ...
Not so glamorous Bergamo
... to reach there.
Well from the outside of city there is a breathtaking view of the upper town but once you are in it I woudn't say the same. Still there is plenty to see wandering around the streets and lots of lovely churches to explore. But it's definitely not the best medieval town in Italy.
Bergamo and the Alps
... at a restaurant in town and headed back to the hostel. Although we were in a 6 person room, it was only the two of us. However, it was very cold so we piled on the blankets and went to sleep.
The next day we decided to take a bus from Bergamo to Lovere, a small town in a valley in the Alps on Lake Iseo. The hour bus ride was very beautiful since we were traveling in the Alps. The town was very ...
Milan sightseeing & Lake Como
... very interesting - men wearing well cut suits riding to work on bikes and scooters, so many people smoking!!!! It was easy to work out the tourists from the locals - you just needed to look at the shoes they were wearing!! We walked past many high end stores along the Corso Venezia - Prada, Rolex, Armani etc. as I mentioned, we just walked past!!!! Peter was fascinated by the way the cars are parked, some were parked so tightly, it's hard to believe they would ...

Wales: Jyoti Randhawa survived a double bogey on the 14th hole to make the cut along with compatriot Jeev Milkha Singh, after the halfway stage of the Wales Open.
Both the Indians are tied for the 58th place with a two-day total of one-under 137.
Randhawa offset a couple of bogeys with birdies on the fifth and 12th but dropped two shots on the 14th. He then sunk a birdie on the 16th to make the cut with a one-over 70 in the second round.
Jeev, meanwhile, had an average outing as the Volvo China Open winner mixed two bogeys with as many birdies as he carded a level-par second round.
Meanwhile, Robert Karlsson broke the European Tour's 36-hole aggregate record on Friday, with rounds of 61 and 63 for a total of 124, eclipsing Tiger Woods and Frankie Minoza's records by a stroke. The Swede is four strokes clear of the British trio of Phillip Archer, Simon Dyson and Paul Broadhurst. UNI

I'm currently using storyboards in Xcode, and the problem I am having is the following:
I have 2 view controllers. One view controller has a button on it and a label. The second view controller is resized to fit only 1 PickerView. I call the Second view controller by pressing the button on the First view controller, and the Second view controller uses the Popover transition.
The problem I am having is, when I select a row on my PickerView on the Second view controller, the label on the First view controller does not get updated.
However, if I place the picker view on the First view controller instead of the Second view controller, the label updates as soon as I select a new row in the Picker view.
All my connections/code is correct, but the label will not update if the PickerView is in the Second view controller. Is there a way to sync these, and if so can someone give me some example code?

USU football: Chuckie Keeton and Kyler Fackrell named to College Football Performance Awards Watch Lists
LOGAN, Utah – Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton and linebacker Kyler Fackrell have been named to the 2013 College Football Performance Awards Watch Lists at their respective positions, it was recently announced.
Keeton is one of 30 Football Bowl Subdivision players named to the Quarterbacks Watch List, while Fackrell is one of 41 players named to the Linebackers Watch List.
Keeton is one of five Mountain West quarterbacks recognized along with Derek Carr (Fresno State), Cody Fajardo (Nevada), David Fales (San Jose State) and Brett Smith (Wyoming), while Fackrell is one of six MW linebackers named to the Watch List along with Cory James (Colorado State), Art Laurel (Hawai'i), Dallas Bollema (New Mexico), Jake Fely (San Diego State) and Keith Smith (San Jose State).
Overall, Keeton is the only quarterback from the state of Utah recognized, while Fackrell is one of two in-state linebackers to make the Watch List along with Utah's Brian Blechen.
Keeton is also one of 30 players named to the first edition of the 2013 Heismanpundit/CBSSports.com Heisman Trophy Watch List along with being a Phil Steele preseason fourth-team all-MW selection, while Fackrell was named to Phil Steele's preseason all-MW second-team.
Keeton, a 6-foot-2, 200 pounder from Houston, Texas (Cypress Creek HS), earned first-team all-WAC honors in 2012 as he ranked third in the conference and 17th nationally in total offense (307.1 ypg), second in the WAC and 18th in the nation in passing efficiency (154.7), third in the WAC and 29th nationally in passing (259.5 ypg), and eighth in the conference in rushing (47.6 ypg). He finished the year completing 275-of-407 passes for 3,373 yards with 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions, and rushed for 619 yards on 129 carries (4.8 ypc) with eight touchdowns. He finished his sophomore season by setting single-season school records for touchdown passes (27), passing yards (3,992), completions (275) and completion percentage (.676), while his 407 pass attempts rank seventh all-time at USU for a single-season. He was also named the WAC's Offensive Player of the Week four times during the season, becoming the first player in school history to accomplish that feat and the first WAC player to do so since 2010.
Fackrell, a 6-5, 245 pounder from Mesa, Ariz. (Mesa HS), earned first-team all-WAC honors and was the first Aggie in school history named a Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-American a year ago as he finished the season ranking second on the team and eighth in the WAC with three interceptions (0.23 pg), third on the team and 13th in the WAC with 8.0 tackles for loss (0.62 pg), and fourth on the team and 13th in the WAC with 87 tackles (6.7 pg). Those 87 stops rank tied for third all-time at Utah State among freshmen. He also finished second on the team with seven quarterback hurries, to go along with 3.0 sacks and three pass breakups.
Utah State returns 49 lettermen and 18 starters from its most successful team in school history as USU ended the 2012 season with a school-best 11-2 record as it set school records for wins (11) and home wins (6), and recorded its second bowl win in school history with a 41-15 victory against Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. USU also won its first outright conference championship since 1936, as it went 6-0 in the Western Athletic Conference, and its third in school history.
Utah State will open the 2013 season on Thursday, Aug. 29, at Utah and play its first Mountain West game the following weekend at Air Force on Saturday, Sept. 7. USU's first home game of the 2013 campaign will be Saturday, Sept. 14, against Weber State, while its first home Mountain West game will be Saturday, Oct. 12, against Boise State.
