We love the beautiful center of the hotel with the hanging lights and water element. Also the location is right across from the Ferry Building so there is lots to do & see. Room service food was delicious. We had a balcony room and loved the view. - Anonymous
When leaving our luggage after our early morning arrival, we LOVED the fact that they let us check in to our room several hours early! They offered it to us unsolicited, which would be totally unheard of in most hotels! Loved the daily complimentary water, yoga, & 24-hr fitness room. We highly recommend this hotel; My husband and I have both travelled extensively and the Hotel Vitale staff knows how to do things right! We will definitely stay here again if in San Francisco. - Anonymous
We have a big family and were given a very large room with a view. This was a pleasant surprise as the only negative comments I read from reviews before our stay was in regard to small rooms without a view. - Walter
This is our 2nd time staying here. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. We were checked in by Daniel and his dog, Snoopy. They were both extremely friendly. Daniel told us about all of the events around the hotel and made us feel very welcome. We love that the facility is so pet-friendly and would like to bring our dog next time. Far- beyond amazing. Thank you! - Anonymous
It's a quiet hotel well located and confortable - Nicolas
We live in Hawaii and have our choice of world class hotels to choose
from when we need a get away. The Mandarin Oriental has them bested by a
wide margin. The staff and management is exemplary in the performance of
their duties. Perfection! - Anonymous
The location and hotel was fantastic-didn't want to leave. I had hesitations about locality maybe being out of the way, but No WAy ,it was just a few blocks from everything and all that San Fran has to offer, and that's a lot! - Jillian
You can walk to the piers from this hotel, its .8 miles away so not bad
at all. I suggest parking in the lot across the street from this hotel,
its $27 a day as opposed to $50 for Hilton parking (although it isnt the
prettiest). - Anonymous

1st Annual Bridgewater-Raritan Basketball Camp "CAMP NOTES" JULY 27TH – JULY 31ST, 2009 WEEK 6: BRIDGEWATER- RARITAN HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY COACHES MCATEER & MILLER www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com 1st Annual Bridgewater- Raritan Basketball Camp "Camp Notes" Monday, July 27, 2009 Bridgewater-Raritan Varsity Head Coach Gene McAteer Welcome to Basketball Camp Listening Skills & eye contact Listen to what your coaches tell you & watch the demonstrations by the high school & college players. Be ready to try the drills when you get the chance. Be alert & ready to do what you are asked. You can learn so much by simply paying attention to what is going on… If you listen & try new things, you have the opportunity to learn and grow as a player. The key to success however, is to work on your own when you leave camp. This is how you become a better basketball player. Our objective: Campers will be able to utilize variety of drills, activities, & fun games designed to help them improve their offensive & defensive basketball skills & understanding of the game. Bridgewater-Raritan Girls Varsity Head Coach Dorcas Miller Offensive Teaching points Be in triple-threat position ready to drive or shoot. Use a shot fake or jab step to try and get the defense off balance or out of good position. As often as you can, drive the ball to the basket and get a close to the rim as possible. Defensive Teaching points Stay between the hoop and the player with the ball. Be down in an athletic stance with you feet more than shoulder width apart. You should be about an arms length away from the ball handler. Be ready to "step & slide" as the offense dribbles in an attempt to cut off the dribbler and force her into a tough shot farther away from the basket. The final element on defense is to put a hand up on the shot, box out, & rebound the ball. www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com Bridgewater-Raritan Boys Varsity Assistant and JV Head Coach: Alex Mahony Shot Fakes Use shot fakes to get defensive player off balance Use shot fake to make defensive player leave their feet Use shot fake to create space Shot fake should look like actual shot Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Bridgewater-Raritan Varsity Head Coach: Gene McAteer Passing and Catching One player stands on the sideline while the other is on the outside of the key The two players simply pass the ball back and forth o ALWAYS look the pass into your hands o Pass with your legs o Further the drill by taking a few steps away planting your outside foot then coming back to the pass o Jump stop into the pass Argentina Passing Drill Put a player in each corner of the court, a player on both sidelines positioned at center court, and to right under the basket on the baseline The two balls start with two players standing opposite each other The pass the ball to the person to the right of them and then exchanges places with the player opposite of them…run! The ball continues around the court after each player passes he runs to the opposite spot i.e. - one center court sideline to the other Make players stop in the middle of the drill and switch direction the ball is passed or the type of pass www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com 3 Man Weave and 5 Man Weave Three lines at half court, one directly in the center of the court, and the other two on the edges of the circle Run the 3 Man Weave with the players staying the close distance Go to the baseline and then back – "go behind the players back!" Bridgewater-Raritan Girls Varsity Head Coach: Dorcas Miller Screening and Cutting off Screens To set a good screen Plant your feet Hold your ground DO NOT move is a foul Running off of screens Run shoulder to shoulder If space is left defensive player can run through the screen Curling off the screen o Run shoulder to shoulder and continue around the screen o Stay close as you run off the screen and curl to the basket Fading off the screen o Instead of curling to the basket you can fade from the screen o If you see your defender cheating over the screen you can fake going off the screen and then fade back to where you came from for a jump shot Today's Contest is Hot Shot In hot shot, players have 30 to 45 seconds to make as many shots as possible from different locations on the floor Each location is worth a different value NIT- Lay-up is 1 point, Block Shot is worth 3, and a Free throw is worth 5 NCAA & NBA- Block shot is worth 1, Free Throw is worth 3, and a Three Pointer is worth 5 www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Bridgewater-Raritan Varsity Head Coach: Gene McAteer Defensive Teaching Focus – 2 vs. 2 – "Jump to the ball!" Defensive Terminology and Movement "Discourage" – This position is used when defending one pass away from the ball. Block the passing lane with your hand and keep your body between the player and the basketball. There is a difference between discourage and deny. When you are denying someone you are attempting to not let them touch the ball. If you overplay, the offensive player might go backdoor for a basket. In discourage, you have to make the person you"re guarding move to receive a pass. You have to see your man and the basketball at the same time. Always stay between your man and the ball. Stay on your toes and always be ready to move. NIT will be able to move in the direction of the ball on every pass. NCAA will be able to guard the V-Cut, seeing both man and ball at all times, and move in the direction of the ball on every pass. NBA will be able to provide help and then recover. In addition, the NBA should be able to guard the V- Cut, seeing both man and ball at all times, and move in the direction of the ball on every pass. Defensive teaching focus – 3 vs. 3 – "Ball, Discourage, Help" Defensive Distance from ball handler When you are guarding someone you should be about an arms length away. If you are too close the offensive player will get by you and if you are too far away the offensive player can take an uncontested shot. If you are quicker than the person that you are guarding then you will be able to get closer and the opposite is true also. Defensive Stance Proper defensive stance is to bend your knees, drop down almost like you are sitting in a chair, and keep your back straight. When you are in a good defensive stance, your legs will begin to hurt. This is the only way your legs are going to get stronger so you can master the defensive stance. Defensive Positioning www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com You have to be able to slide and cut off a player without fouling by staying between the offensive player and the basket. When you are guarding someone you should step and then slide instead of crossing your legs. You must also make sure to keep your feet wide; otherwise you will lose balance and not be able to properly defend. If the player you are guarding decides to switch directions you have to make sure you "drop step." If you don"t drop step you will not be able to force the offensive player into the corner. When this happens the offensive player will be able to either dribble past you or you may get a foul called against you because you will end up too close to the offensive player. "Help" -- Position If you cut the court in half lengthwise, the side that the ball is on is considered the strong side and the opposite side is considered the help side. The help position is when you have one foot in the paint to be able to help out another defender in they get beat and there is penetration When the person you are defending is two passes away from receiving the ball, you should be in the help position The rule of thumb is that you can be further away from your man, the further your man is away from the basketball Make sure that you play intelligently on defense This means that you should not have your mind made up already about what you are going to do because then you might be out of position. Bridgewater-Raritan Girls Varsity Head Coach: Dorcas Miller Bridgewater-Raritan Boys Varsity Assistant and JV Head Coach: Alex Mahony Today's Contest is the Mikan Drill The Mikan Drill is named after NBA great – George Mikan who was a Hall of Fame pro player in the 1940"s & 1950"s. George excelled at left hand & right hand baby hook shots around the basket. The modern version of the Mikan Drill features continuous righty & lefty lay-ups. Players must quickly move and get a good angle so that they may bank the ball in high & soft off the square. Make or miss, players rebound the shot and step through to the other side. Again, get a good angle so that you are not attempting a shot from directly under the rim. In the contest, players strive to score as many lay-ups as possible in a 30 second. Reverse Mikan Drill www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com Players will execute the same drill in the same amount of time except this time they will practice their reverse lay-ups by facing the foul line when shooting Left hand reverse lay-up on the right side of the rim Right hand reverse lay-up on the left side of the rim Try to get a 45 degree angle to lay it in off the back board Swish Mikan Same drill except the player will only count those that don"t hit the back board Same as regular Mikan instead of laying it in off the back board players will shoot a little jump hook right over the rim Thursday, July 30, 2009 Bridgewater-Raritan Varsity Head Coach: Gene McAteer Friar Drill Half Court Drill One player starts on the foul line facing half court One player stands in each of the four corners and the ball starts on one side at half court The player passes it across half court to the other player and they play 2 on 1 against the player at the foul line Once a shot is put up, the person who shot the ball runs and touches half court and is now on defense The other two players, one rebounds and passes it to the corner and then those two players go to the corners The player who receives the ball in the corner then outlets it to half court, the two corner players proceed to the lines at half court The ball is passed across and the drill starts again www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com Bridgewater-Raritan Girls Varsity Head Coach: Dorcas Miller Bridgewater-Raritan Boys Varsity Assistant and JV Head Coach: Alex Mahony 11 Man Fast Break Drill Full Court Drill Start with 4 defenders 2 in the paint on each side 3 players at half court with a ball facing same basket 1 line at each elbow extended on the sideline Players then attack one side for a 3 on 2 fast break As the shot goes up all players scramble for the ball Once player has the ball they outlet it to the line on the sideline closes to the side they are on Player on the sideline must call for the ball then attack the middle of the floor Rebounder/Passer then fills in the lane going behind the player that just received the outlet pass The two players that were on offense that didn"t get the rebound are now on defense and the defensive players go to the outlet line Drill is executed going both ways continuously Friday, July 31, 2009 Bridgewater-Raritan Varsity Head Coach: Gene McAteer Winning and Losing – our Friday traditional conversation… Enthusiasm is a great thing; however, make sure that it is in a positive manner. Winning and losing is something that applies to all players of all skill levels because no matter how good you are, eventually you are going to lose at something. How you behave after a win or loss reveals a lot about your character. You should strive to win and lose with class and style; because how you act reveals a lot about who you are as a person. Act mature and sensible. If you win, be excited but do not gloat or embarrass your opponent. If you lose, it is OK to be frustrated but congratulate the winners and move on! Some of the best aspects of our camp are when the competition is fierce and both sides want the victory. Two plays that stood out this week were Mary's game winning shot in sudden death & Emily's 'upset' victory in Thursday's Knockout game. Both thrilling events featured the winners AND loser displaying excellent sportsmanship under pressure…great job to all!! www.bridgewaterraritanbasketballcamp.com

A new copper(II) phosphonatobenzenesulfonate incorporating 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) as auxiliary ligand has been discovered through systematic high-throughput (HT) screening of the system Cu(NO3)2·3H2O/H2O3PC6H4SO3H/4,4′-bipy using different solvents. The hydrothermal synthesis of [Cu(HO3PC6H4SO3)(C10H8N2)]·H2O (1) was further optimized by screening various copper(II) salts. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and unveiled the presence of isolated sixfold coordinated Jahn–Teller-distorted Cu2+ ions. The isolated CuN2O4 octahedra are interconnected by phosphonate and sulfonate groups to form chains along the c-axis. The organic groups, namely phenyl rings and 4,4′-bipy molecules cross-link the chains into a three-dimensional framework. Water molecules are found in the narrow voids in the structure which are held by weak hydrogen bonds. Upon dehydration, the structure of 1 undergoes a phase transition, which was confirmed by TG measurements and temperature dependent X-ray powder diffraction. The new structure of 1-h was refined with Rietveld methods. Detailed inspection of the structure revealed the directional switching of the Jahn–Teller distortion upon de/rehydration. Weak ferro-/ferrimagnetic interactions were observed by magnetic investigations of 1, which switch to antiferromagnetic below 3.5 K. Compounds 1 and 1-h are further characterized by thermogravimetric and elemental analysis as well as IR spectroscopy.

Beyonce – Billboard Women In Music Luncheon Hottie
December 14, 2014 in Beyonce by Versus
Beyonce attended the 2014 Billboard Women In Music Luncheon at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City the other day, while wearing an asymmetric high-cut dress. And an unrelated quote from the superstar:
I sometimes wish I could be anonymous walking down the street like everyone else. Before I was famous I was the girl on the hill with a guitar. I was the girl that just wanted a beautiful view of the beach. Now that I'm famous it's really, really difficult to do very simple things. I think it's the hardest thing to give up, but my mother always taught me to be strong and to never be a victim, never make excuses, never expect anyone else to provide me things that I know I can provide for myself. I have dreams and I feel like I have a power to actually make those dreams become a reality. When you're famous, no one looks at you as a human anymore. You become property of the public. There's nothing real about it.
… says Beyonce.

Whilst all of this innovation and the disrupting of traditional way of doing things is welcome the benefits (with the exception of wonga) will tend to accrue to the middle classes and the technically savvy.
Where I believe there is much need for liberalisation is the involvement of supermarkets in the provision of financial and legal services. They, I feel would be much more likely to reach the people that will benefit most from lower costs and greater access, the un and underbanked.
The fact that Walmart is finding so much opposition in the States to the acquisition of a banking licence and the fact that no completely new banking licence has been issue in the UK for a century points to much need for governments to get out of the way or at least stop allowing themselves to be lobbied by incumbents.
Peer-to-peer lending has got to be the future. Both savers and lenders get an unbeatable interest rate. The lender has their risk widely spread and there are mechanisms to withdraw money early. Zopa adds value by assessing credit worthiness. It is a classic case of the Internet being used for disintermediation, in this case of the parasitic retail banks who only seem interested in fleecing their customers.
Please note that big banks are nothing more than trash-compactors of smaller banks.
If a fin-tech firm is competing successfully then one of the big banks will just buy it. Fin-tech firms won't replace big banks, they'll just be absorbed into the Borg.
The cause of the next financial meltdown???
"most money exists as bits and bytes in computers rather than as notes and coins".
It's rare, but occasionally TE admits that most money in today's society doesn't actually exist, because it's only credit money, which is nothing at all, except a promise to pay real money. Banks have profited heavily by inflating the money supply with promises, causing prices to rise and wages to buy less. Any new financial institutions will further increase the money supply and cause more inflation (until people refuse to accept mere promises of money from financial institutions).
True, but money is really just a promise itself. Book money is just one level down in the circles of Hell. :)
Hey, I was just wondering... How do you know the author of this article??? None of the articles seem to show authors. Why???!
The Economist never shows bylines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist#Editorial_anonymity
Banks "using stocks or tally sticks" will go the way of typewriters. For a computer, money-processing is just like word processing or image processing and customer profiling is just like racial profiling or genetic profiling (23andme anyone?). It can be done in nano-seconds. Actually investment banks do that already with HFT (high frequency trading). Money is just a blip of electrons or photons carrying a miniscule amount of information and life on earth with or without lattes and grandes is just a tiny irrelevant speck in the entropic vastness of dark energy and Higgs bosons. Amen!
I am very optimistic about the future of small banks, in all their variety.
Why? Put it this way. A constant question I am asked is about the viability of small banks. "Won't big banks compete them out of existence?"
The answer is "No. Big banks can't compete small banks out of existence. They can take them over. But new ones in some form will immediately pop up, despite government restrictions on getting a banking "licence""
"It all comes down to an economic concept called "returns to scale". Banking is inherently inefficient. When a firm starts it first operates under increasing returns to scale. Then it enters a phase of constant returns to scale as it grows larger. Then as it grows larger still it enters a region of declining returns to scale."
"Now, this is important. All banks, whatever their form, very rapidly enter a situation of constant returns to scale. This appears to be inherent in their activity. The limit appears to be a couple of a hundred employees. From then on, a bank struggles to grow. It only makes money from the most rigorous management efficiencies plus monopoly rents. The upshot is that a small bank can and does compete very well with a larger bank. It has certain inherent efficiencies."
"What about economies of size? Large firms only borrow from big banks."
"True, to an extent. But there are relatively few large firms. And small lenders do very well. Big banks can't compete in this area of small lending."
Departure of unconvinced party.
I'm worry for the future of finn tech.
I mean as a workers in the banking system. Our eyes wach that kind of compagny give us 2 decades, in they will be part of conglomerates.
Not that I would not wish some changes in the way the banks operate. I do not see why bankers should be any exception from the progress made by technology but I think hype is a bad advisor. Still I think the bleeding edge of the technology will cut the fat (together with some healthy muscle) of banks. The question is: are we customers going to see benefits of that or are the benefits going to be collected by the privileged few.
I find the hope of the author quite amusing. Especially in view of one of the few constants features of the real economy - if company consistently loses money and its value grows then we have to do with either a bubble or a fraud.
New times indeed.
Johan Bendz, CMO at iZettle, said that, "The traditional payment ecosystem is changing for good and it's young companies like ours driving it instead of the financial sector. This is hardly surprising, though. Over the past few decades, "disruptive" services have more often come from start ups than established industries." The full article is here on the Ericsson M-Commerce blog: http://www.ericsson.com/m-commerce/blog/let%E2%80%99s-embrace-innovative...
If you think about the whole picture, it seems that the banking industry is in the same situation as the airline industry 2 or 3 decades ago. In many countries, a banking oligopoly (3 to 5 banks) still have more than 75% market share and go on charging high hidden fees for basic services. Regulators have been unable to fix that but through new regulations (the PSR in Europe for example)they have been able to create a new landscape in which fin-tech companies are able to develop and scale fast.
Fin-tech companies will definitely change the financial landscape, as Easyjet, Southwest and many more did in the airline industry. The question is how long will it take and how will they fit with existing banking dinosaurs?
The development has been going on for several years and is extremely interesting. However, beause of the general judgements being made, in which the financial technology firms are treated as a homogeneous category, a lot of the assessment on the value of fin-tech companies is overrated. In my opinion, while transaction-based fin-tech firms will have very good chances of success, value-added services based on complex trust-based decision making with non-guaranteed outcomes, e.g. in wealth management, will have a much more difficult time. Many of the newcomers in this area have failed. Yet, every newcomer is a chance to learn more about online business strategies and their acceptance.
You are definitely right and as always execution will also be a key point to determine who will be the winners.
The margins in finance are way too large. Hopefully technology can do for them what the internet did to travel agents. Maybe some day finance will be in as much trouble as big music labels are today, for similar behavior. Arrogance, poor customer service, forcing people to buy products they don't want to get what they really want, etc
The World is drowning in debt and The Economist writes an article praising new ways on sophisticated debt...
anyhow ,it is a new trend and finace should be so slicky
Much of the innovations shall ultimately benefit the consumer and the economy if big banks are not protected by Govt. The protection make big banks lazy in adopting innovations as there is not much competition in this protected industry.
Ping pong tables and lattes are all very good - making finance more accessible is without question a good thing. However, 'grey suited' needn't be such a damning comment! While the new generation is invigorating finance, there's still a very clear need for experienced lenders to ensure that fin-tech firms aren't making familiar mistakes. Our team at Assetz Capital is the most experienced group of lenders working in P2P.
We might not have a "funky warehouse office", but it's important to remember that many banking procedures that might be considered old fashioned (e.g. meeting a business owner at his or her premises before issuing a loan) still have their benefits (a well-maintained factory is indicative of someone who cares about his business and will be sticking around). Welcome new firms by all means, but do check to see that proper checks are still in place to protect you.
Either way, the important thing about new finance - particularly peer-to-peer lending - is that it's helping investors and businesses to get a fairer deal. Ten, even five years ago, SME finance and banking were sorely in need of a shake-up, and thankfully that revolution is well underway.
Stuart Law
Founder and Chief Executive, Assetz Capital
Great article about the new innovation trend in finance.
Does there have to be a winner and a loser? Maybe there's a place for banks to partner with fin tech startups to leverage one another's strengths, rather than existing as pure competitors.

Best Uses for Casual Dinnerware Sets
Food is one of the great pleasures in life, and you can make it even more enjoyable with the right casual dinnerware set. The right dinnerware can act as your secret ingredient -- spicing up any and every meal with no extra effort on your part.

How to Choose Casual Dinnerware
Whether you're getting ready to set up house for the first time or you've been serving meals for years, you know that casual dinnerware is a household staple. If you've been using the same dishes for years, you might be due for an update: styles change, pieces get broken, the casual dinnerware you inherited from your mother-in-law has lost its luster. Casual dinnerware is perfect for everything from lunches to informal dinner parties. Learn how to choose casual dinnerware and get ready to entertain.
How to Set the Dinner Table
Dinner tables are set differently depending on the type of dinnerware and what food is served. Casual dinner table settings provide each person with the three basic pieces of silverware while formal dinner table settings provide guests with a separate piece of silverware for each course served. Plates, bowls, silverware, napkins and glasses are all part of the necessary dinnerware for setting the table. Having separate dinnerware sets for both formal and casual dining events is very helpful for setting the table appropriately.
How to Register for Dinnerware
Beautiful dinnerware can be a surprisingly large investment for newlyweds. Originally designed to help couples acquire a full set of fine china, wedding registries often now include both the formal dishes and one or two sets of casual dinnerware. However, registries are quite flexible, and you can choose just the dinnerware you want -- whether you need complete sets or a few pieces to expand what you already have. If you make a list of the pieces you want before you start shopping, you can shop quickly and concentrate on style.

6 children in school van injured in East Liberty wreck
Six Pittsburgh Public Schools students received what city paramedics described as minor injuries Tuesday when a school van was involved in a collision with another vehicle in East Liberty.
The children complained of neck and back injuries following the wreck at 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of Hays Way and North Negley Avenue, county emergency dispatchers were told.
The six — four girls and two boys between the ages of 8 and 14 — were transported to Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville for treatment, paramedics told dispatchers. They are all students at Pittsburgh Arlington PreK-8, city schools spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said.

What color to paint sides of a swinging door
Frequent poster over on kitchen forum but first time in paint forum.
I have a quandary with the double hinged swinging door between our kitchen and dining room. Our dining room has a very creamy trim color (BM 344). Our kitchen trim color is cloud white. Previously this door swung into a Butlers pantry that had the same trim color so no problem, both sides and door trim were painted the creamy color. Now we have remodeled the kitchen and Butlers pantry is gone, you enter kitchen directly from dining room.
This door swings either way ( into kitchen or into dining room depending on which way you are heading). Most of the time we will have the door propped open, swung into the dining room which means kitchen side will show. So what color do I do on kitchen side of door? i am set on doing dining room trim color on dining room side . Will it be odd if we paint the kitchen side the white cloud but when propped open in the dining room with the creamy trim will it look like we made a mistake?
Hope you can understand our scenario.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Option #1:
I'd take my cloud white swatch and creamy swatch back to the Paint Store and buy a Quart of semi-gloss that is somewhere in-between the two. And paint the whole door one creamy-white color. Propped open or closed ... your dining room look will be in-tact.
More of a quandary is the door jam itself (if you have one).
Option 2: Take the door off -- you may not need it now that your kitchen makeover is complete (just an idea). Congrats on the project.
Thanks for the reply.
While removing the door is a possibility we like to have it for when we want to keep our dogs in the kitchen. Also the door is very nice, a six panel old door- I would love to strip it down to the Oak but my husband has already stripped a few things for this project and is all stripped out for now.
A color in between the two is a thought I had not had. We do have a door jamb or transition on the side where the hinges are located but nothing on the other side. We have this scenario in other locations since our house is old and has some large entry openings from one room to another without doors. We were able to use a decorative groove in the opening between the rooms for a color transition and it seems to work well.
You are most welcome for the idea. If you think you could get the door "stripped" and refinished in the future (after hubby has had a rest) maybe leave it for now and do the refinishing later. That would look really, really nice.
Gothcha on the pooches in the kitchen. I was interested in your challenge because I may "put up" a door for the same purposes. :)

Hoppe's BoreSnake is the fastest bore cleaner on the planet. One pass loosens large particles, scrubs out the remaining residue with a bronze brush, then swabs it all spotless with a cleaning area 160 times larger than a standard patch. Add a few drops of Hoppe's No 9 Lubricating Oil or Hoppe's Elite and your gun is ready for storage.

The VIPERTEK VTS-880 mini stun gun really packs a punch! Just test firing this unit into the air is often enough to stop an attacker. As the bright electric current pulsates between the test prongs and creates an intimidating electrical sound, an attacker with any sense at all will be stopped in his tracks. If the sight and sound doesn't stop him, a jolt from this stun gun certainly will bring an attacker down! When an attacker is touched by the stun gun it will disrupt the message the brain sends to the voluntary muscles. Simply touching an attacker will deliver a high voltage shock causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion, and disorientation bringing him to his knees and making him incapable of further aggressive activity.

The FDA's recent rejection of a pill to treat low sexual desire in women has led to mounting concern about the lack of available medications to treat this condition.

By Dr. Jeff Davis Intimacy (into-me-see) is the right way to look at how women view this topic. Many women long for people in their lives that can see what is really going on with them. What does it mean to be intimate? It means to be close. To look at someone and see the … Continue reading

Hazy, Lazy Summer Days In Iowa
A few pictures of which some were taken on a hazy morning.
The larkspur mingle with purple cone flowers by the garden gate:
From the butterfly garden:
Container grouping on the patio:
The Potager, the arbor is the one I got for my birthday for my grapevines. So now the potager has fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
Interesting clouds last night:
Lastly from the camping trip. Grandma had to buy Kenzie a cowgirl hat to go with our western theme. The plastic dish is her bug catching dish. She was so funny, she would pick up these big oak leaves and say she needed them for composting.
Ooo La La! I love all your pictures! The larkspur is beautiful with the coneflowers and I agree with Marian, I want your garden gate.
I love your new trellis! I can also see the from the potager! I would like to see more pictures, too.
Your patio plantings are nice, too. I always like seeing what others are doing...sparks the imagination!
Lovely, every one! I like the larkspur and purple coneflower combo, and I have just the place to do that. Lol, I'll give you a photo credit next season ;)
The sky picture is gorgeous. I don't think I'd make it living in the city, because I love looking at the wide open sky.
That Kenzie has the most precious little face, and I love that she's got a bug box and is collecting compostables. I'll look forward to chatting with her on the Idylls in the future. I'm pretty sure she's already "one of us".
Everything looks so nice Michelle. I especially like that first shot with the garden gate. Did I tell you I finally found one but mine is even more 'rustic' than yours, lol. Your gardens are really maturing and coming into their own this year more that ever.
Kenzie looks so much like you in that photo. She does have the heart of a true gardener I believe. Such a beautiful little girl!
I'd love to see more pictures too. Your gardens are so inspiring! Thanks.
Wonderful, wonderful!!! Thanks so much for posting these. I just love each and every picture. That gate with the larkspur and Echinacea is fantastic and that pottager is beautiful. I really love the container with that trailing begonia. Do you know the variety? I can't get over how grown up Kenzie is getting. Time is flying by.
Thanks again for sharing these. I'll come back for inspiration.
PS I really think the Idyllers have some of the best gardens anywhere.
Thanks for the nice comments. I really should take pictures of my other 3 gates. 2 are real antiques and one is the same style as this one but newer.
Martie, the hydrangea is a PeeGee.
Deanne, the begonia is actually in the front pot and is upright. Variety is unknown as I have had it quite a few years and taken many cuttings.
Eden, I would love to see a picture of your gate.
I used to want one of these gates and the old looped top fencing around my first garden! I found this neat website when I was trying to google....
Really neat gates, ladies!
Here is a link that might be useful: woven fencing and wire gates
Wow! Michelle. It all looks great. Nice combos.
You really get some neat sky shots too.
How about a closer view of the new grape arbor?
I want that potager, LOL. Gardening on a hill here certainly has its drawbacks. Not enough flat area to work with. Norma
Michelle...this is a gorgeous group of photos! The Princess is looking very pretty. She is so cute! I agree that she seems to be taking to all things garden very well. Not all kids do, you know.
I love your garden combinations. The first photo with Larkspur and Echinacea plus isn't that a Scabiosa mixed in? Very pretty combo. Large Scabiosa, do they winter over for you? Great shot of the sky. I do love cloud photos.
The only thing better would be a tour in person. You have a lovely garden. :-)
Michelle, I always enjoy pictures of your garden, especially the long views. Do you winter over the Euphorbia cotinifolia? I've have the hardest time finding them around here the past couple of years-no luck this year at all.
Love the gates. A couple of years ago I hauled an old iron bed frame out of someone's trash and it's been rusting behind the garage ever since. Maybe it's high time I got a little creative.
Thanks for the glimpse.

You know you have a flip-flopped/remuddled house if..
You know you bought a flipped/flopped/remuddled house if...
This is for VENTING! The stupid, ugly, lazy & often just plain DANGEROUS things P.O.'s have done to our homes. "Floppers" on purpose because they just wanted to cover-up what might make it difficult (or llegal!) to sell, homeowners because they didn't know better? Grrrr... ;-)
A few of mine...
You look around at the "new" walls & go crazy wondering where they're supposed to be.
You look up at the "freshly dropped" ceiling & wonder what's above it. (Then ask yourself if you REALLY want to know after you notice a very small piece of fallen plaster sticking down out of the vent cover. That was NOT there last week!).
You see all the badly done drywall tape coming loose from the new poorly-done walls... And look up at the same dropped ceiling & wonder... How "literal" is the term "dropped ceiling" going to be, & how much $ did they save on drywall screws?
You peel up glued utility room carpet, and are no longer surprised by anything those people did - not even seeing that they thought duct tape was a viable subfloor resource. (I have pics of that one!).
You daydream about finding the floppers & shaking them, yelling "Where are the rest of my freaking 7 1/4" baseboards from the downstairs?", until they burst into tears - admit they have them in storage - and offer to return them with all of the paint removed for you!
Geez - I could write a book! (Lol, perhaps you're all thinking I just did! Sorry, it is long, I know). I only have about 100 more, right off the top of my head.
Is it just me???
How about the cobbed 1/2 bathroom they built with no lights over the vanity, outlets that aren't wired to any electrical source!
The walls on the other side of the 1/2 bath that have baseboard that don't match so I have to load furniture in front of them so you can't tell
The walls at the foot of the stairs that are wide open at the bottom (??? hOW THE HELL THEY MANAGED THAT IS BEYOND ME!!)and I'm sure that's how the bats got into the main living area.
The poor wood floor that was chopped at the bottom of those same open walls (for what reason I'll never know!)Now a piece the size of a deck of cards is missing.
The crown molding that's so cobbed you can see a 1/8 inch seam where 2 pieces meet (I haven't gotten on the ladder yet to fill the gap & paint. It's on The List)
Phew! That felt good to gripe about that to people who can appreciate my frustration! :-)
Some one save me from ignorant or is it lazy homeowners!
The ones who:
Can't clean or properly prep a surface BEFORE they paint. They try covering the grease and the dirt with paint or wallpaper!
Can't fix a leaky valve on a toilet so over a LONG period of time the entire floor rots. It's just DUMB luck that the toilet didn't fall from the first floor to the basement....In my dreams it would have been wonderful tho if the PO had been sitting on it!
Can't be bothered to prep the walls properly for wallpaper and just throw it up there. Later when their "taste" change they paint over the wall paper making it nearly impossible to do anything but start over.
Couldn't leave the built ins alone decided they had to saw them off.
Needed to glue the rug down on to what was a hardwood floor.
The ones that paint hardware because they didn't like the shine!
The ones who didn't mix the paint BEFORE they started putting it on the wall.
The ones who nailed stuff when it should have be screwed together AND instead of using a finishing nail used a penny nail!
The ones who thought that duct tape could repair EVERYTHING including:
the rip in the tile in the kitchen(bright green goes with everything right?)
the broken windows ( they might as well used it for a window covering it covered most of the windows in the one room.
the door that came off the hinges (how that happened came about I can only guess)
as a sub for electrical tape in a few of the wall switches and for the proper fitting for a leaky sink.
I'm sure there's more but those are the ones that make me cringe the most.
Mine is more of a "You know you have a slumlord owned house if..........."
>they painted OVER a large wad of cheesecloth in the middle of the bedroom floor. Same can be said for hardware, locks, etc. 'Paint' is a euphamism for 'pour'
>one of four brick piers under double back porches has been replaced with several too short 2x4's which, of course, caused the 24' porches to have a serious sag
>gutter spikes were the hooks of choice for hanging clothes
>all of the doors & jambs look like they've been in a knife fight - & lost!
>instead of an outside water spigot being... wait for it... outside, put it in the back hall. Of course, there is no heat & it will freeze, burst, & rot the floor & the replacement floor
>the fireplaces are closed off & have more than 1 stove hole in the chimney breast. When the cavity fills with soot, don't clean it out - just knock out another hole higher up!
>when the windows need glazing repair, don't use putty; brick mortar lasts so much longer
These are a few off the top of my head - there are many more!

Rent an apartment in North Central, San Antonio, TX, if you are searching for a family-friendly neighborhood. Located north of downtown, this area is a mix of city suburbs and small independent cities landlocked within San Antonio. It covers a large area roughly between the I-10 Freeway and the I-410/35 Freeways, bordered on the north by State Highway 1604.
The area developed as the city grew, with early settlement in the late 1950s and 1960s. The community really took off beginning in the 1970s and the Texas building boom of the 1980s. Today, it is home to many families enjoying a quiet suburban lifestyle. Yet, its location is close enough for an easy commute to the central city's business district and attractions.
Adjacent neighborhoods to North Central include, Far North Central, Uptown Central, and the Northwest Side.
San Antonio's North Central neighborhoods are very popular with married couples in their late 20s, 30s and early 40s, many of the them with young children. Reflecting that focus on family, the area is dotted with parks featuring a range of amenities for outdoor fun.
Among these is 900-acre McAllister Park, with four pavilions, a dog park, many picnic areas, baseball fields, soccer fields and 15 miles of trails. The 77-acre Lady Bird Johnson Park was named for the former First Lady. It has a softball complex, community center, picnic areas, a playscape swimming pool, skate park and more. Portions of the Salado Creek Greenway also pass through North Central. It offers paved and natural trails in for hiking and biking.
North Central also is home to Morgan's Wonderland Park. It calls itself the world's first ultra accessible family fun park, with people of all ages and abilities can enjoy the rides and activities.
For indulging your inner diva, there's North Star Mall near the San Antonio International Airport. Home of the world's largest cowboy boots, this mall has more than 200 retailers including anchors, Saks Fifth Avenue, Dillard's, Macy's, and JCPenney. In addition to the usual food court, there's also The Cheesecake Factory. On the western edge of the North Central neighborhood, there's Huebner Oaks Center, a multi-building complex featuring a variety of "lifestyle" stores, for books, games, home furnishings, coffee, a movie and dining.
You have a wide range of properties to choose from in the North Central rental market. Most properties in this neighborhood are low-rise buildings, many with amenities such as swimming pools and in-unit laundry. Depending on location and amenities, you can find one-bedroom apartments for as low as $550 a month. Typical two-bedroom apartments rent for $750 to $1,200 a month.

Doctor Who (1963)
The Tenth Planet, Episode 2
- Episode Description
The remorseless Cybermen have arrived from Mondas and prepare to strip the planet of all its energy. At the polar cap, the Doctor's friends prepare to fight. But an interplanetary war is looming…
- Cast & Crew
Kit Pedler
Derek Martinus
Anneke Wills
David Dodimead
Dudley Jones
- Fan Reviews (1)
The Tenth Planet is the last series with Hartnell as the Doctor, and it is the first appearance of the Cybermen. The Doctor and his companions materialize at a research base at the South Pole that coordinates space operations.
- Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (2)
Krail: You must come and live with us.
Polly: But we cannot live with you! You're different. You've got no feelings.
Krail: Feelings? I do not understand that word.
The Doctor: Emotions. Love, pride, hate, fear. Have you no emotions, sir?
Krail: Come to Mondas and you will have no need of emotions. You will become like us.
Ben [ regarding the Cyberman ]: Just imagine trying to tackle one of those things with a screwdriver!
Notes (1)
This story (Episodes 2 and 4) was the only time that Roy Skelton provided a Cyberman voice. These Cybermen speak in unnatural, mechanical tones, with unusual emphasis and pronunciation. In future stories, more naturalistic voices are provided by the actors in the suits.
Trivia (3)
Revealing Mistakes: The Cyber voices are dubbed in, which xometimes causes the opening and closing of their mouths to be inconsistent with the spoken lines.
Factual Error: When Mondas is first seen in detail, its continents are found to be identical to Earth's. The planet is rotating so that all of the continents can be seen. While making for a nice visual, this would mean that Mondas is spinning on its axis once every few seconds - tens of thousand of times faster than Earth. This would be such a fast rotation that the objects would be unable to stay on the surface or the planet would become extremely oblate or completely disrupted.
The Cybermen's helmets were held together with Sellotape, which can clearly be seen in this episode.
