About this location
The Lazio region
Lazio is one of the most important regions for Italian culture, European and world for its contents as historical, artistic, archaeological, architectural, religious and cultural.
The immense extraordinary legacy hosted by the city of Rome is just one among hundreds of points of interest including towns, churches, monasteries, monuments and various sites in the region.
Rome alone has 30% of the artistic and cultural heritage in the world.
The historical center of Rome, the extraterritorial property of the Holy See in the city and the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls are among the goods protected by the UNESCO as World Heritage Site.
In Lazio also Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este in Tivoli and the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri and Tarquinia are among the most important archaeological sites.
The Lazio region has numerous parks, reserves and other protected natural areas.
Among these are certainly important and popular National Parks: The National Park of Abruzzo, the Circeo National Park and the National Park of Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga.
Besides these, many protected areas have been established in the region, especially in recent years, supporting and encouraging the development of a greater sensitivity to the problems relating to the conservation of the land, among the citizens.
The Lazio region offers the possibility to its visitors, to have the same territory the mountain (with the mountains of Rieti and the neighboring Abruzzo) hills (with the Castelli Romani), the lakes and the sea.
The apartment is located in one of the most elegant of Rome from which you can reach on foot and in a few minutes, the most beautiful places of the Eternal City: the Basilica di San Pietro, Vatican City, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Vatican Museums, Piazza Navona.

Why staffing might be breaking the bank at your veterinary practice
Q: How can I get a grip on veterinary support staff costs?
"As a percentage of revenue, it normally runs between 19 and 21 percent, maybe 22 percent, of your gross revenue," says Mark Opperman, CVPM, from Veterinary Management Consultation in Evergreen, Colo. Any more than that, and it may be time to take a hard look at some of the reasons why your numbers are high.The most common reason is "inappropriate scheduling," says Opperman. "Many times we have too many people, other times too few, but the problem is we don't have the right people at the right time. When I do a schedule for a practice, I start out with the doctor's office hours and surgery schedule, then I superimpose the team members onto that schedule."
For example, consider a doctor's surgery schedule. You'll probably need a veterinary technician for that doctor, an assistant for the technician and a receptionist. Then maybe you have another doctor who's doing outpatient office hours, so you'll need an exam room assistant for that doctor and potentially another receptionist as well.
Opperman says the second-most common reason is overtime, which can occur excessively in some veterinary practices. He advises you to monitor this carefully and aim for less than 1 percent of practice gross revenue.
A third reason Opperman offers for high support staff costs is income—you're not generating the revenue you should be. If that's the case, brainstorm ways to get more clients and pets in the door and keep them coming back to see you.

Watch Intense Video Showing House Getting Leveled by Tornado [NSFW VIDEO]
We're getting a frightening and up-close look at one of the tornadoes that tore through the Midwest last weekend.
We're getting a frightening and up-close look at one of the tornadoes that tore through the Midwest last weekend.
On Sunday more than 80 tornadoes tore through the Midwest, killing at least six people in Illinois, injuring dozens more, leveling homes and businesses, and leaving a swath of destruction from Missouri through Michigan.
At 8 a.m. EST Thursday, the National Hurricane Center issued hurricane and tropical storm watches for the northern Gulf Coast, as tropical storm Karen gains strength in the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico.
A series of tornadoes hit Oklahoma Friday night, killing at least 13 people and leaving many more missing, without homes or stranded. Other storms and flooding also hit Arkansas and Missouri, and remnants of that severe weather moved east all the way to New England, where 19,000 are still without power on Monday morning.
A massive tornado touched down in Moore, Oklahoma yesterday afternoon (May 20), just south of Oklahoma City, killing dozens. At least seven of those killed were students at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore.
Preliminary reports clasify the tornado as an EF4 with wind speeds

Yep. So where are the inflato-bot diggers and their awesome nightclub?
With any luck, I'll be able to get my Rape Rape Revolution machine real soon now! ^_^
Ummm... She's my new "Robot!" Really! I swear!
So, it looks like a giant blue monster out of the darker parts of Japanese adult animation, sounds like dance music played on cheap speakers, walks slowly, and, with that size:weight ratio, probably doesn't do well on windy days. Its "walk on water" demo was a little painful, too.
It's very cool, but I don't envy the guy who has to put together the sales pitch.
So, cool toys, but they're not going to come stomping down Main Street any time soon, unless they're trailing a reeeeeally long extension cord.
So, kind of like an Eva [wikipedia.org] unit then?

Inflatable autopilot.
The problem is that you have a compressible fluid in a compliant envelope.
One approach to this issue is to add lockable hard sliders. They act as idlers when unlocked but when engaged provide the required stiffness. For many applications they can be plastic and won't add huge amounts of weight, and the locking mechanism could itself be pneumatically controlled, so it's a relatively small number of additional valves.
Good news is if the inflatible robots ever tried to conquer humanity we could fight them with razor blades and a daisy BB gun.
I submitted this story a while back but it never took off - the video of the robot assembling itself from spray foam is pretty cool:
http://news.discovery.com/tech/robot-builds-itself-with-foam-111020.html [discovery.com]
no, it was posted. and, imo, that concept blows.
i want to see a robot actually build a copy of itself, not get stuck in its own mess and say it "grew"
Where would one purchase the air valves to make one of these ? Are these low cost items or expensive specialist things.
Ordinary solenoid on/off air valves are widely used, easily available and cheap. Grainger stocks them, and they show up in surplus stores. Proportional air valves are somewhat exotic items. [proportionair.com]
From the video, it looks like the robot's legs are controlled through simple on-off valves (notice the clicks and the jerky leg motion) but the trunk has full proportional control and feedback.
Precision pneumatics is effective but not used all that much. Most pneumatic actuators are a simple solenoid valve controll

Raskolnikov, an impoverished student living in the St. Petersburg of the tsars, is determined to overreach his humanity and assert his untrammeled individual will. When he commits an act of murder and theft, he sets into motion a story that, for its excruciating suspense, its atmospheric vividness, and its depth of characterization and vision is almost unequaled in the literatures of the world. The best known of Dostoevsky's masterpieces, Crime and Punishment can bear any amount of rereading without losing a drop of its power over our imaginations.
Dostoevsky's drama of sin, guilt, and redemption transforms the sordid story of an old woman's murder into the nineteenth century's profoundest and most compelling philosophical novel.
Award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky render this elusive and wildly innovative novel with an energy, suppleness, and range of voice that do full justice to the genius of its creator.

When will I start feeling my baby move/kick?

Mom Answers

121 - 130 of 260 answers
For those who answered that they felt their baby move at 7-9 wks, I'm sorry to disappoint you but it was probably gas. At 9 wks, your baby is about the size of a grape (and not a large grape), Its limbs are formed but so tiny that you couldn't possibly feel a "kick". I know it is a wonderful thing to feel your baby move and everyone wants to feel it as soon as possible but logic also must have a place in the discussion. More likely, at 9 wks, you're feeling some gas or poop, bumping into the parts that are shifting, enlarging, etc., due to your body preparing for the growth of your baby. Check out some of the videos on this website for a better idea of how big your growing baby is at different stages. Unless you're a princess and can feel a pea under a mattress you will more than likely have to wait until around 16-22 weeks before you will start to feel the flutter of your little butterfly.posted 09/14/2010 by bnb_76
I am 17 weeks pregnant and I have felt fetal movement since 12 weeks. This is my second pregnancy so the doc says thats why I felt it earlier. But now at 17 weeks this little person is super active!posted 09/08/2010 by Weatherthastorm
To the poster who remained anonymous in posting that people who are only 7 weeks and feeling the baby is not possible and asking how can they even feel that, etc... Everyone is different. There are also cases where someone is told they are 7 weeks pregnant and they may be farther along but they do not know that at the time. Not to mention those who have been pregnant before, they know what they are feeling for and can distinguish different feelings from others due to experience. So before getting all bent out of shape and negative, try and understand that not everyone is the same in many ways, shapes and forms. It IS possible for someone 7 weeks or more to feel the baby move in certain situations.posted 08/19/2010 by Ladyfoskey
I am 17 weeks with my first baby. i think i've felt my baby move and kick but im not sure. Sometimes it feels like someone is tapping on my belly. When i think my baby is moving it sort of feels like bubbles.posted 08/15/2010 by JennyQ559
I fealt our little peanut today for the first time! I'm only 12 weeks, but I know without a doubt! It feels like thumping and fluttering. Just like popcorn! Definately not gas at all!posted 08/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi everyone, thanks for the question. I am on baby #4 and started feeling movement from 7 weeks already. I thought there was something wrong with me because all the sites said you only feel movement from 16 weeks. Its really good to know there are others that also feel the movement early on.posted 08/02/2010 by lees3
I am 14 weeks and I haven't felt my baby move yet. I am anxious to feel him/her move because I still don't really feel pregant! This is my second one...posted 07/24/2010 by daughterofbast
I am 24 weeks along now, and i can feel him move ALL the time. I was around 16 weeks when i felt him start to move, but only very slightly. everyone is different but you will know it when you feel it!posted 07/12/2010 by brunettebaby996
everyone is different. if you had a flat stomach prior to conceiving you should be able to feel the baby move before someone with more cushion. the first movements can easily be overlooked since they are more like flutters than kicks. i hope this helps.posted 06/29/2010 by halie.ross
I am having baby #3 and I just felt the flutters for the first time. I am between 7 and 8 weeks. I was shocked, because I didn't think you could feel it this early. I felt it very early with my 2nd, but kind of dismissed it. Now I wish I wouldn't have. Its really exciting when you feel the baby move for the first time.posted 06/24/2010 by KristinMU1

HP Creates First Hybrid Memristor Chip 155
from the stitch-in-time dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Is there a spice model available?
"Williams says. Still, he predicts that memristors will arrive in commercial circuits within the next three years."
It seems fast because nobody was talking about these things for the last 30 years. It's only because of technological advances in circuit printing and general computing that we can make these things and integrate them without having to develop a lot of additional technology. The transistor is very old but only after developing a lot of supporting tech have we been able to shrink them down to fit billions in a processor. That same tech can already be applied to memristors. We don't need to wait decades before we can shrink a memristor down to practical levels for ICs.
Binary was chosen earlier in computer work for it could represent accurately a digit representive such as 1001 equals 9. Also magnetic core memory could hold only the two states.
With memristors (once they are perfected) can have multi-state such as trinary (base 3) or decinary (base 10) eliminating all of the conversion that is neccessary in the present binary system that require cpu cycles. 123 in the decinary system represents 123 where in binary it would be 1111011 and need to be converted in order to be meaningful.
For instance I have heard for those studying DNA that using base 12 has certain benefits in directly expressing information. Perhaps this will open a whole new arena of possibility that previously could only be simulated in binary.
The mind can imagine many new possibilities if the memristor actually is.
the plots appear to be generated by a mathematical model rather than a laboratory experiment
This is what I would say "NEXT!" for, but to each their own.

5 Steps to Heidi
Let's just tell it like it is, Heidi Klum is one hot mama. At last night's 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy's, this mom of four proved to us that she's still got it (and I don't think it's going away anytime soon). Contrary to other goers' gowns, her Marchesa mini and Lorraine Schwartz necklace were ultra glam and equally eye popping. Most of all, I loved how her upswept hair was the perfect complement to her radiant complexion and beautiful eye makeup. It's the perfect evening look that I plan to recreate for a wedding I have in November. So, I figured why not share how easy it is to achieve.
First things first, her luminous skin creates the perfect back drop to her kohl-rimmed eyes. Tarte's limited-edition radiant & rested collection includes all of the necessary fresh-faced goodies for just this: ReCreate™ primer, park ave princess mineral bronzer, limited-edition cheek stain in glisten, emphasEYES™ inner rim brightener and smooth operator™ illuminating serum. When combined, these products create a radiant look. Her natural, glowing complexion is topped off with a simple lip choice. I suggest you pucker-up with our 24.7 natural lip sheer in Sunday for Heidi's soft pout.
Now, let's move on to those gorgeous eyes—the focus of this look. The colors are basic, but the application is precise for an eye-opening effect. The last thing you want to create are heavily lined beady eyes. Start by applying a shimmering bone shadow (lock & roll 12-hour eyeshadow in sandstone). Make sure to get the inner corners of the eyes for an instantly brightening effect. Using our brand new emphasEYES™ aqua-gel eyeliner in black, line the upper lashline and ONLY the outer half of the lower lashline. Line your inner rims with the inner rim brightener from the radiant and rested kit. This will help open your eyes by making the whites appear brighter. Finish off with 2 coats of multiplEYE™ natural lash enhancing mascara for Heidi's camera-worthy lashes. That's it! This really is super easy and like I mentioned before, wear this look with your hair off your face. After all, you want to show how pretty you are!

GET THE LOOK: Indigo Eyes!
Before I even started flipping through the pages of July's Essence magazine, I was mesmerized by the issue's cover girl: the beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada's makeup looks absolutely flawless and it's a great day & night look. Her immaculate complexion & lightly glossed lips really make her indigo cat-eyes pop right off the page. I'll admit blue liner is not something I would typically reach for, but this oceanic hue is a hot summer trend that brightens the white's of your eyes on a whole new level! It's actually super simple to replicate with a cream liner. My fave is tarte's emphasEYES™ clay shadow/liner in indigo (Essence gave its nod of approval as well, because it's featured in plum on page 30 of this issue!); it even comes with the appropriate brush for the perfect application!

At the NYC premiere of Keri Russell's new flick "Leaves of Grass", Tina Turnbow (makeup artist to the stars) gave her a natural beauty look. What's even better is that all the products Tina selected give back to the environment. I love that Tina chose natural products from Envision Beauty and tarte; both companies use nature and science to achieve flawless results & each remain socially conscious by contributing proceeds to eco-friendly charities. That being said I thought it was only fair that we treat you to a "spring glow" giveaway. With these products and the guideline below, you'll be able to recreate this youthful look at home!
Tina prepped Keri's skin with The Solution by Envision Beauty. Why we love it? Like tarte goodies, The Solution is packed with antioxidants like goji and acai berries, as well as vitamins A, C, E and B5, leaving skin hydrated and smooth. This paraben-free facial moisturizer evened Keri's skin tone for the perfect makeup application.
For a healthy complexion, Tina turned to tarte's fuss-free products, "I used a tinted moisturizer and created a peachy-pink cheek." Tarte's natural cheek stain in tipsy touts our t5 super fruit complex™ — a proprietary blend of the five most active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola and pomegranate! She used her own Tina Turnbow for tarte limited-edition flower child palette for a soft, smoky charcoal eye. Her final touches included voluminous lashes & a nude lip with a hint of sheen. For more application details head over to MyLifetime.com
To help get you started with a radiant glow tarte and Envision beauty are giving away The Solution superior facial moisturizer($79) and tipsy natural cheek stain ($30) to 1 lucky winner! From now until April 6th post a comment below telling us why 'green beauty' matters to you! Your comment will automatically enter you into the random drawing contest–we can't wait to hear from you!

Here is an dried ounce and ready for vacuum sealing:
Here is a dried ounce packaged:
Comparing the volumes between one ounce before and after packaging:
Here is two dried ounces packaged:
Is this too much compression? My vacuum packager won't seal until ALL the air is removed so I don't have much choice, but I would like some advice if this is incorrectly packaging them!
If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I would spend 6 sharpening my axe. ~Abe Lincoln
The more air removed and more compacted they are, the better.
It looks like you use food saver bags. I use the pint bag and it will hold one ounce if you push the hops all the way to the bottom. I point this out because it's handy to have your hops premeasured on brew day. Also, the bag is a better size compared to having a larger bag mostly empty. Last point, the bags are slightly pourous, so I think the aroma will stay in the bag. I think they can be reused, but I would only use them with the same hop. Items to consider.
Your hops are ruined, send them to me for disposal.
Just kidding, those hops look great sealed up!
Cool pictures. Answered several of my questions. Thanks.
No Farms - No Beer.
Baled whole cone hops are compressed 10 to 1. Pelletized is like 22 to 1 or more. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Father's Day Message
It's no news to anyone that I disagree strongly with President Obama on just about any issue or policy position you can name.
But I'm not the least bit uncomfortable saying I admire something about the president that transcends politics and makes him a role model for every man in America.
President Obama is a good father.
That's no small thing in 2013 America. And not too long ago in Dallas I told the president exactly that.
The event was a small "meet-and-greet" coffee for first family members held before the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
My wife, daughter and I represented the Reagan family at the private event, which included the Johnson daughters, Trish Nixon, Susan Ford, along with presidents Obama, Bush 41 and 43, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
"I disagree with your policies," I said, after saying hello and shaking the president's hand. "But I applaud you for being a good father and a good husband. The world needs more of those."
President Obama, a father of two daughters who says he still goes on "dates" with his wife, said he appreciated my praise.
I don't know if the first father is as familiar as I am with the statistics of fatherlessness, but America needs all the good dads it can get.
Fathers are the super glue that keeps families strong and healthy in many important ways. But according to childcare experts and the U.S. Census, about 24 million kids in our country go to bed each night without a father in the house.
You don't have to be a social scientist from Princeton to know that the absence of a father can do serious damage to a child and, ultimately, society. But the numbers are grim — and they cut across race and class.
Over the years various studies have found that kids in fatherless homes are more likely to be poor and more at risk for drug abuse and suicide, plus more likely to get in trouble with the law.
Fatherless kids are also more likely to be sick or have mental health problems than kids growing up in two-parent households, and less likely to do well in school, graduate from high school and attend college.
Some of the hard numbers from those studies are not pretty: 70 percent of juveniles held in detention facilities come from fatherless homes. So do about 63 percent of teen suicides and 71 percent of high school dropouts.
Boys who grow up in homes without fathers do much worse in school and are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families — no matter what their race, family incomes or parents' educations are.
Father's Day is: Sunday. Good fathers like President Obama will get the props and the love they deserve from their families and the rest of society.
But Father's Day is also a good time to think about how you can become a better father to your children and a better husband to your wife.
And if you don't have kids of your own, you can celebrate Father's Day in another important way.
America has more than 400,000 of its children in foster care. Many of those kids are eligible for adoption and need a good father. You can celebrate: Sunday: by deciding to adopt one of those foster-care kids — and become someone's father on Father's Day. A good place to start is the website of Childhelp.org, a key source for information on foster care and child-abuse prevention.
Happy Father's Day!

How lovely - we found a substantial hedgehog (now known to us as Hefty) hibernating in our garden when doing some clearing just after moving here - we put him in a safe and sheltered place and he completed his hibernation.
That was three years ago - we've seen him and some of his friends regularly since in our garden, and I think that this winter he's hibernating in a heap of runner bean haulms which are almost covered by the upturned wheelbarrow!
As soon as he reappears in the spring we put fresh water and food out every evening - your description of your hedgehog falling asleep in his supper is something Hefty does most evenings on the terrace just outside our dining room door!
Getting blustery here again now - we're off tomorrow to meet up with foody friends in London - however it seems that quite a bit of our train journey will be by bus!
We will be leaving here about 7.30am and don't expect to be back until after midnight so you lot will have to play without me tomorrow
My assumption is 'of the total length' - what do others think?
Very hungry slugs? Voles? Rats?
The weather was very dry last summer/autumn - if rodents/small mammals were thirsty I can imagine that juicy roots would have been very welcome
Phew! As long as it's only the pooter that is poorly
Thanks Lyn ((hugs))
I wouldn't expect the same things from a garden centre as from a nursery.
I don't expect a nursery to have a coffee shop or sell anything other than plants, pots and composts etc, but I do expect them to raise a large proportion of the plants they sell themselves and to know more about them than is usual at most garden centres.
The best nursery I know is http://www.woottensplants.com/index.html and I frequently recommend them very enthusiastically to friends and fellow gardeners.
That sounds like a brilliant plan Nut! We could go for an outing on the profits!
This should give you the information about what to do and the confidence to do it http://paulzimmermanroses.com/care/pruning/rejuvenating-an-old-climbing-rose/

No problem BK - think it's been dealt with But as you say, it's as well to remind people to be on their guard when online.
My Hawkshead is still flowering (I forgot to include it in my New Year's Day List) . It's in pot which I've moved into a sheltered corner with some other plants so I'm not concerned about wind-rock.
I'm going to plant it into the ground in the spring, so I'll cut it back then.

Perez Hilton To Launch Label
this is the guy who couldn't tell the difference between a promotional stunt and real life...im sure he can tell the good from the bad..
And he's going to take me to the top of the charts!
Atavan will love anything coming out of Perez Hilton's label.
afraid of saying anything for fear of being labeled a HOMOPHOBE but idc this guy's such a cunt
he is...
fuck this asshole.
Digging: Marek Hemmann - Bittersweet
he doesn't know shit about music outside generic pop shit listened to by boring guido douchebags and their attention whore girlfriends/teenage girls
Oh yeah plus he's a cunt who treats people like shit and wonders why he gets punched in the face. I remember his video after Miss California basically said she believes marriage is for men and women where he was calling her a stupid bitch and a cunt etc just for having that opinion. Snide little fuck. Has no respect for anyone and expects people to respect him?
Fuck him, I hope he gets his legs broke by the gay mafia
for being a cunt, and it exists until it's proven unexistent
gay mafia is an awesome imagery. The Gayfather.
He was advertising new Paramore like four days ago, so his music taste is really pedestrian, to say the least.
This guy looks like chode.
Just look at the picture of him up there. Now say the word 'chode'. It fits perfectly.
"Hilton said: "I have an ear, which is really important"
this guy is on the ball. his label will be a success
j/k, it'll suck
eugh, as well as the fact he obviously knows nothing about music, this is also a terrible decision for the reason that he doesn't harbour the ability to separate his blog from his opinions, therefore it'll just be one massive OMGSOGOODHYPE system rather than any actual marketing blah blah. it'll basically be the blogging version of One Tree Hill season 6.
And hes pretty fat
he looks like the grinch's chode
We're fucked
"I'm also a manager."
don't worry everyone, he's also a manager.
...this has to be a joke
This guy is a filthy bigot.
First crappy gossip blogs, then a lousy clothing launch (Gossip Gangster...GGGGAAAAGGGG), now a label. Hmmm...what has this world come to that so many people actually care about this ugly tool bag? And about his "ear for music," someone should recreate a scene from Scary Movie and shove a dick through it.
Why does he feel the urge to live?
Please go away. Every empty headed chick at my work talks about this guy like he is the end all be all of everything celebrity related. Wish I had the time to hack his site. Someone do it for me. I'm already in too much trouble for the last one. O_o Kidding about the one thing serious about the other.
Who is this guy?
I wouldnt feel bad if he suddenly dropped dead. I dont feel bad for saying it either because I don't think his life has any value.
Perez for Staff '09
i really try not to hate people, but I'm really not fond of this guy
This guy is a goddamn bottom feeder. All he does is leech of celebrities problems and controversies. His blog is nothing but a tabloid. Fucking die.
he's a manager though
And a marketing person
And a chubby wubby
and got punched in the eye by Will.I.Am's manager.
This guy is the physical manifestation of everything I despise about people. He's nosy, loud, and opinionated while sitting comfortably in front of a computer screen. He has no morals, no values, he see's the most minuscule faults in people and exploits them to the fullest amount. Getting punched in the face wasn't enough, this guy needs to lose a finger or have his knees broken, perhaps then he'll learn to keep his bigoted and scathing opinions to himself, because nobody with half a brain gives two tugs of a dead dog's cock about what he has to say. I hope his record label fails miserably.
he should probably launch records for death metal/black metal bands... they gonna F his bum so bad
how did this guy get famous again?
Oh yeah plus he's a cunt who treats people like shit and wonders why he gets punched in the face.
This guy is the physical manifestation of everything I despise about people.
this is a rage thread
I swear he's from the future like he wears face paint and stuff
he is the american dream. truth. *sigh*
Since when was the American dream to become a fat homosexual male and have a celebrity blog? That sounds like a pretty sad dream. Anyone with a dream so sad should get a fucking job and blogging, try to meet some real people and stay the fuck out of other peoples' lives.
Yeah this fatass almost pisses me off more than those Westborro Baptist inbreeds.
wow you're all gayer than perez himself bye
wow you're all gayer than perez himself bye
'Yea, well you're redundant. Why did you say 'himself' after you said his name.'
wow i just got wrecked homeskillet style
He said "himself" after his name because he respects and loves the man.
perez is pretty hot
'Yea, well you're redundant. Why did you say 'himself' after you said his name.'
wow i just got wrecked homeskillet style
yeah you did lol

great! now we will have more gaywads singing on the radio and TV and more stupid cunts like Avril Lavigne.
i think perez is pretty funny
only when he's getting his ass beat by Wil-I-Am's entourage.
I can hear it now
Oonce ooonce ooonce ooonce ooooonce oooooonce baby
"I saw the potential in her from the very beginning before any one else."
What potential.
*potential, whatever.
death to music.
Oh please he's giving himself way too much credit for Mika and Lady GaGa being famous. It's about 50/50 from fans to people that hate them. I do give him kudos for keeping Heidi from being s star. She's the souljaboi of pop.
Love you!
Lightspeed cockthrusting FTW!!
Fuck you Perez Hilton, fuck you with a fucking iron rod for being arrogant enough to think you know jack shit about music.
Anger management is underrated.
this guy is a stupidhead
I want to stab him repeatedly in the neck with a blunt knife
Scratch that, I want to cover him in bacterial liquid that devours his flesh over a period of 10 hours, but stops just at the point where his vital organs are so he can survive for the rest of his life as an agonised skin slab mutant fuck. Not that he isn't one already.
Perez the douche
Those who can't do, blog
Just looking at him makes you want to punch him
ok this might seem weird but
i mean perez hilton is a total asshole and really gay (literally (~though that's not a bad thing necessarily)) but what the fuck are these awful comments
i mean i might punch him in the face but the whole 'covering him in a liquid that devours him slowly' is kinda fucked up you might want to see a therapist
well then why don't you just marry perez
i mean i might punch him in the face but the whole 'covering him in a liquid that devours him slowly' is kinda fucked up you might want to see a therapist
Will.I.Am's bodyguard should've finished the job.
South Park needs to do an episode regarding Perez in their upcoming season
Soon plox
First one he signs.
^ so I can make fun of his fans.
that picture jsut makes me wanna punch the motherfucker
Gonna sign William Hung and bands like Panic At The Disco.
Somebody get this man a fucking trophy for being able to tell a good song from a bad one. I only wish I could have that talent!

Teacher honored for bringing past to life
But for Laura DeRosa, its just another reason why she loves her job.
DeRosa's efforts haven't gone unnoticed.
Award recipients, who are nominated by students, colleagues and DAR members, are chosen based on their historical knowledge, commitment to students, patriotic spirit and ability to relate the past to the present.
"It's the ultimate compliment," she said, noting that Santoski's children are among her previous students. "Teaching the eighth grade is always entertaining and I love how my students are so eager to please, to learn."
"The kids really got into it," she said.
"They learned that there's a story to be told in each epitaph, the shape of the stones and the materials used to make them," DeRosa said. "You can learn a lot about society and the time period by visiting an old cemetery."
"She really encourages the kids," she said.
DeRosa, who was surprised with the award at the start of the school's annual volleyball tournament, was presented with flowers, a certificate and a copy of the book "Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution," by Nathaniel Philbrick.
She'll also have a shot at national title for NSDAR Outstanding Teacher of American History.

|Easy Grid Quilts - Fisher, Karen, G.,
Sorry, I cannot properly explain here about the grid concepts in this book, but I certainly understood how the quilts can be made with grids when I read the book, so just check out the book! For Sudoku lovers, there is even a grid (and double grid) featuring this puzzle. There is really a LOT of good information in this book, including insturctions for spinning borders, puffy appliques, ideas for embellishments, and creating tucked (pleated) fabrics.

We have many books on Bargello quilts in our library, but this just may be my favorite!

Try one of the author's "recipes" or use her directions in the last chapter to design your very own Bargello quilt. We have Georgianne Morrissey to thank for requesting this book for us.
|Mar 5, 2015
|Unconventional and Unexpected - American Quilts Below the Radar - 1950-2000 - Kiracofe, Roderick, History
The photos of the 150 quilts are interesting, and the more I looked at them, the more I saw in them. I was tempted to skip the essays, but I am glad I didn't. Each essay's author comes from a different background, and each of the essays is very unique as they see the quilts with unique eyes, and prompted me to look at the quilts from their point of view. As I was mentally comparing many of the quilts to those made in Gee's Bend, Alabama, I was particularly interested in the ideas written by a curator Ulysses Grant Dietz. Hexie (hexagon) makers, don't miss pages 112 and 181. For the yo yo quilt to beat them all, see page 114. As I love making "string" quilts, I was excited to see the many examples included in this book. Hey -- there is not enough room or time to mention all that I like about this book -- you will just have to check it out for yourself! Our thanks to Linda Morand for recommending this book for our library.

|Dare to Dance - an Art Quilt Challenge - Kerr, Mary, Contemporary
Quoting from the back of the book: "In every life, there are moments of pain, struggle, and joy, and each of these quilts share the artists' own personal, unique story." Fiber artists from all over the United States were challenged to express their own personal stories in 18 x 30" quilts reflecting the theme "Dare to Dance: An Artist's Interpretation of Joy." Sixty quilts are included in this book. One of the artists, Linda Schmidt, has spoken at our SRQG. Like our guild's annual challenges, it is exciting to see how many different ways quilters interpret their thoughts with fabric.
|Mar 5, 2015

|Mod Block - The Color Issue - Doan, Jenny - Missouri Star Quilt Co., Modern

Patterns include: Broken Bars, a Log Cabin variation, a chevron-type of braid, a hexi, triangles placed so that they look like envelopes, a double Friendship Star, a tote bag, and more. As with all of Jenny Doan's magazines, these patterns can use pre-cuts such as jelly rolls, charm packs, or layer cakes (or raid your own stash and make up your own combinations). Thanks to Jan Andrews for this nice donation to our collection.
|Mar 5, 2015
|Yvonne Porcella A Memoir - Defining Why - Porcella, Yvonne, Contemporary
Phyllis Gallaway had Yvonne autograph this book for our library while at the big quilt show in Houston. From this book you will be reminded that the author founded the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) while reading entertaining stories about her inspirations for her prize-winning quilts and enjoying her brighter-than-crayon colors quilts with that signature punch of black and white. I was lucky enough to see Yvonne's quilts at the traveling Smithsonian exhibit in San Jose a few years back. You can watch Yvonne on one of our library's Alex and Ricky DVDs. A special note: my friend, Cathie Hoover, who lives near Yvonne in Modesto, CA, was the photographer for the images on pages 134-137!
|Feb 19, 2015
|Crazy Quilting - Dabbs, Christine, Embellishing
How very lucky we are to have this book donated to our library. This book has it all. In the history section several exquisite vintage crazy quilts are examined. Many different methods of piecing blocks are demonstrated. And what is a Victorian crazy quilt without embroidery? Numerous designs are illustrated, as well as the best tutorial for creating motifs that I have run across.
|Feb 19, 2015
|Double Wedding Ring Quilts - Wolfe, Victoria Findlay, Double Wedding Ring
There is not enough room for all of the gushing I could do about this book. I saw the author on the Alex and Ricky DVD that our guild has in its library, and knew that we needed this book. It exceeded all of my expectations. I was amazed how it read like a novel. Her thoughts really touched me. And then there are her prize-winning quilts! Makes me want to work on another quilt series and document the whys and what ifs. Here I quote Victoria: "I have a fine art degree. I was trained as a painter, and the difference between how I paint and how I quilt is that I was painting the sadness in my life - my emotions were always on my sleeve when I worked in paint. My art had something to tell. But when I quilt, I am totally focused on the joy. A quilt is about being hugged, warmed, and comforted. I love that usefulness that a quilt can provide. It is also how I keep my traditional quilting roots connected to my past. I need to make, to be useful - a trait I learned growing up on that farm in Minnesota. You make, you create, you grow,you reap, you preserve, you cook, and you eat. So I make, I sew, I cut, I keep warm, and I give comfort. All these things lead to joy." She mixes the traditional with the modern, the paintbrush with the needle, finding the best of all worlds.

|Tangle Stitches for Quilters and Fabric Artists - Monk, Jane, Quilting
I had to make a choice where to file this book. I decided on Quilting, but it could have also been placed under Modern, Contemporary, or Embellishing. I saw a demonstration of "tangles" on one of our library's DVDs and decided to purchase the book ZENSPIRATIONS DANGLE DESIGNS by Joanne Fink for myself. This book has given me permission to doodle, and I believed that these drawings could be translated into quilting designs, and sure enough, now there are books on just this technique! To quote the back of the book: " 'Tangling' has become a popular art form and relaxation technique." Here you will learn about tangling and stitching. Use the technique on paper or turn it into such projects included in the book as a "biscornu" (French for quirky or skewed) pincushion (I have made a bunch of these!), bag tags, Artist Trading Cards, journal covers, jar covers, table runner, and, of course, quilts. Be a kid - DOODLE, but as an adult artist, call it TANGLE!

|Emporia Rose Applique Quilts - New Projects, Historical Vignettes, Classid Designs - Brackman, Barbara and Karla Menaugh, Applique
Emporia is a town located in eastern Kansas. Learn about why this town became famous for its quilts and quiltmakers in the years from 1925-1945.

She encourages readers to re-create her designs, or mix her patterns and create your own versions. On page 13 find a mention of historian Joyce Gross, who was one of our Founding (Charter) SRQG members! Page 57 talks about using 'Wash-Away Applique Sheets" by C&T Publishing instead of freezer paper. The extra expense has tons of advantages.

It's the combinations of her creative variations and her organized sewing systems that she brings to this new Half Log Cabin book." You will marvel at the speed and accuracy for making these blocks.

Disk 1, 1301: Jean Wells (we have all of her books in our library) started the outdoor quilt show in Sisters, Oregon, where she has her quilt shop, The Stitchin' Post. Jean started out as a traditional quilter, but is constantly trying new types of quilting so that she never gets bored. She was recently named to the Quilters Hall of Fame. She is currently obsessed with LINE (in piecing and quilting). She carries a camera everywhere and journals to record inspirations. She now likes to work intuitively or she loses her creativity. Don't forget to use dull fabrics as they make the other colors sing. Value is more important than color. When you get stuck with a problem, don't go to the refrigerator, refer to a list she has written that is in her newest book. A tour of her new dream home, which is "green" and filled with favorite art and lots of texture. Stay for the After Set.

Alex shows how to make quick, cute, and easy receiving blankets, which she calls "the fourth trimester" as they make the baby feel its is wrapped up and back in the womb. Quilts would be too bulky for this wrapping of the baby, so she uses flannel, a cotton voile (like a silk), and no batting. Her method can be translater into a king-size quilt. Grace Errea, who was born in England, lived in Argentina, learned to speak her parents' Polish language, now lives in San Diego. She was transferred to California when she was an IBM executive.

Great website: www.quiltingismytherapy.com Sheila Frampton Cooper - first saw an article about her in "American Quilter" magazine (which we have in our library), and I was so intrigued. She only started quilting in January 2009 when she volunteered for a Martin Luther King Day quilting event at Project Linus.

She has been accepted at Road to California, Houston, and Paducah. Her favorite color blue is highlighted in her hair! Learn how she does her improvisational patchwork. She uses MonoPoly by Superior in her bobbin! Her quilting is really exciting. Since she spray-bastes her quilts with 505 Basting Spray, she loves Superior's titanium needles, which do not get gunky.

|Pieced Drawing - Exercises in Pieced Block Design in EQ7 - Anderson, Patti R., Computers
Jim Jensen suggested this book for all of our guild members who have the Electric Quilt 7 computer program. Learn to draw pieced blocks that can be turned into contemporary designs making this a book for all styles of quilt artists. Quoting from the book: "The exercises in this book assume that you have watched the Help videos in the software and worked through the EQ Lessons available in the Help menu. If you have done at least this, you should be somewhat familiar with the basics of EQ7. If you have not worked through tese lessons, I highly encourage you to do so before proceeding with the exercises in this book. In other words, you will have a lot more fun with this book if you are familiar with the basics of EQ7!" I include the quote not to scare you off, but to prepare yourself BEFORE you check out this book so that others who are ready for the book may borrow it first. I will be monitoring the check-out card to ascertain which of you will be able to help me design blocks in the future!!!

"The card as a whole is beautiful with rich colors printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. However, my pictures came out much darker than they previewed, so some lighting effects in the photos were lost. I'm not sure if they would've looked better on photo paper instead."
"I chose this design because I couldn't pick just one or two pictures from our newborn session to use, and this was a great way to choose 5 without it seeming cluttered. It was the perfect choice to introduce our baby!"
"We were blown away by the sheer beauty of our announcement! The colors, layout and design were perfect for introducing our angel baby boy to the world!"
"This card was perfect for the announcement of our new addition. I love the color scheme and the design of this card which really made my son's blue eyes pop out."
"Great experience with tinyprints. Great choice of layouts. In the layout we were not including text in one of the boxes, so in the original design it would appear blank when printing. I selected the designer review option. I also asked of they could include a heart in this box like the heart in another box. After submitting my order, I received the requested change In 10 minutes! Shipping was a few days faster than projected I was very happy with the result."

If this were your tree, what would you do?
I know I said that I would wait for all signs of life to disappear before I pulled it out, but there's been no visual change since last month other than a single sucker coming up from the rootstock which I broke off. I'm worried that if I wait too long I won't be able to find a replacement Indian Free peach.
Here are some pictures:
This is the other peach tree I planted, Muir:
And here is a photo of the entire line of trees:
What do you think?
Its alive, but i wonder if its having a hard time finding some buds to sprout???? I think this was discussed in the past (when talking about cutting peaches back hard to induce lower branching)... i'd give it more time...see what happens... no promises.
I planted it in the second week of January, so it's been in the ground for more than 4 months.
"i wonder if its having a hard time finding some buds to sprout" - This is my exact worry, if there is no viable bud wood will the tree push any growth? And if so, wouldn't it be better to cut my losses now?
I know it probably doesn't seem very late to be breaking bud for many, but around here most of the peaches finished blooming a while ago and the little fruits are dime to nickle sized already.
Give the poor guy a chance. I have a peach tree that I planted in February and he is just now finally producing some leaves.
You may consider giving him a tablespoon of ammonium sulfate diluted in 3-5 gallons of water to encourage some leafing. My peaches seem to like that stuff.
If another sucker arises you might consider letting it live this season to feed the rest of the stem--nonstandard procedure, I guess, but that's what I'd do.
Or, you could just bit the bullet, decide this would probably always be a runt, pot it up to give away if it recovers, and plant another.
There is always the possibility of some sort of viral disease that could be transmitted to the others, as well, such as the plum pox virus.
Give it a year... It's a whip, it's going to take a bit to get established, the roots are busy working wonders while the top is catching up.
I wouldn't dismiss it just because it might be a runt - it's been my experience that runts establish a better root system growing slow and steady.
Be patient. It'll get there. Besides, isn't indian free a very late season variety anyways? ;p
It's possible that it didn't get enough chilling hours either and is just going to be slow this year breaking dormancy. I'll give mine a jolt of fish emulsion (sprayed all over and soil drench) if a new fruit tree is being stubborn.
I wouldn't shovel prune it just yet. Give it a chance!
Jordan - Organic/Holistic Orchardist
Also - if later in the season you're still not seeing much for growth, it may be worthwhile to score the bark.
Basically you'll be taking a sharp knife and making a score to the cambium layer under the bark in a spiral fashion around the trunk. This can help stimulate budding on the trunk. I had to do this last year on a few trees that unfortunately the rabbits/deer decided shouldn't have buds.
It works quite well and is very simple to do. Attached is an article on how.
Here is a link that might be useful: scoring fruit trees
If it were my tree I would not have pruned it so hard. I definitely would have left some of the upper branches as scaffolds to start with.
But, since time can't be turned back, what I would do now is to remove a small piece of bark above spots where there are living buds. In your third photo just below the lower branch it looks like there is a small bud forming right there. About a quarter of an inch above that stubbed off branch, remove a sliver of just wider than the branch socket and deep enough to remove the cambium layer. The sliver of bark doesn't need to be very wide, just enough interrupt the flow of sap up from the bud area. That will stimulate the bud to act more like an apex bud and to grow. It worked really well with a couple buds on young trees this year for me that didn't seem like they were going to push growth out of areas I wanted growth to start scaffolds from.
Looks like you're off to a great start and have a late bloomer. My late bloomer is 'Goldmine' nectarine, which is just now leafing out and blooming. I cut all my trees to knee height at planting time to force lower branching. It has worked really well for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: Backyard Orchard Culture
No expert on scoring but can't see it helping on a bare stick like that. Scoring is designed to cut off hormones from an apically dominant shoot higher on the tree. With no shoots there are no hormones to be cut off. The question is are there buds and are the roots growing to push those buds. If the roots are growing and taking up water then the buds will push if there are any. No actively growing roots and the buds won't push the tree will just dry out.
I'd keep the tree a little longer it looks alive.
