What do you think of this trellis?
This is the trellis I am looking to buy for my future clematis purchase :) I liked it was taller...although a little $$ I supposed. The 'wire' seemed thin enough and perfect for a clematis as opposed to the wood ones. Thanks!!
I agree that the trellis will work well but is very expensive. Big box stores sell ones that are less expensive and look as nice. Nurseries carry trellis but again can be very expensive. For other ideas put trellis in the search box at the bottom of the page and there will be links to several threads.
It depends what you are putting the trellis up against. When we plant clematis to grow on our perimeter stockade fence, we put up panels of melon netting or chain-link like wire panels which will turn rusty and be hidden by the foliage. But if the panel is going in an up-close visibility area, a trellis is a nicer option, and this one looks pretty straightforward and useful and you won't have to worry about wood decomposing..

I've been to this restaurant a few times. I always notice how clean and friendly it is. The food is good. They have $1 tacos on Wednesday nights. They are very tasty, and I recommend the chicken taco.
What great atmosphere and authentic dishes. Their burrito is to die for and to top it off their selection of margaritas is outstanding. The wait staff is the best anywhere. Value is good and the food is piping hot!
We went in with another couple and had an average meal. Service was good. Nothing spectacular about this place compared to other mexican restraunts in the area. Would go back because pricing was very fair.
We had the fajita nachos vegetarian style as well as the tacos with beans. Very tasty and a lot of food for the price. Service was great and atmosphere was not too loud. Great experience.
I was really surprised when my friend called them and arranged for a pick up and we had to go to pick up the food and the place was packed.
It was a Sunday but the place was packed literally !! And we took the food and I was really happy with the quality and the quantity and the price...
Three of us had lunch here recently. Good value. Good food and drinks and decent service. We loved their outdoor seating--just wish they didn't allow smoking.
I have lived in Monroe my entire life. I've been going to this place ever since I was a little girl. One of the best mexican food places around until about a year ago. Last time I went was probably my last time. Service was horrible, fajita wraps were hard, and fajitas came out cold. There prices have gone up,...
As a local, we have been coming here for years. The food and service is great. The lunch special prices can't be beat. I am partial to the "Speedy Gonzalez" . My wife loves the cheese dip and will make a meal off of this and a soft taco. They are very friendly and managed well.
We love coming with the kids here. Great atmosphere and decent prices. They have cut back on the "free" cheese dip so that is kinda disappointing, but overall the food is always good.
We consistently get good food and good service. Love the fresh made guac. My mother is a harsh food critic, but she loves this place.

Reviewed By Ralph R (VERNON, AZ) Reviewed for a 2013 Toyota Tundra —11/20/2013 2:47 PM
Used this tool box mounted behind the cab and love the space savings that I got in the bed. Easy installation and love the powder coat black.
Reviewed By Joseph C (Pittsburgh, PA) Reviewed for a 2008 Toyota Tundra —8/23/2013 7:27 AM
The box was a perfect fit but the pre-drilled mounting slots were not adequate and required that I drill separate holes. The box is not as deep as others I have had which means it does not hold as much and it is more difficult for me to lose things by burying them. It looks great and I think it will serve nicely.
Reviewed By Richard H (Milan, TN) Reviewed for a 2011 Toyota Tundra —11/17/2011 6:06 AM
It took almost three weeks before delivery but box arrived in perfect condition. I was concerned about depth of the box when I ordered it. But after installation worries were gone. The box fit perfectly on my Tundra Crewmax and the bottom of the unit is the perfect depth. It allows ample space in the box for storage of tools or hunting gear, while staying far enough off the truck bed to easily access items under the unit. The low profile design looks great and doesn't obstruct rear window views.

Finland and Minnesota have much in common. They each have about 5.4 million residents. Certain regions of each have similar landscapes. Both Finland and Minnesota stress education and a burgeoning business environment.
It's also been a high-profile year for Finns in Minnesota, including Osmo Vänskä, music director of the Minnesota Orchestra, as well as Mikko Koivu, Mikael Granlund and Erik Haula, who along with the rest of the Minnesota Wild electrified fans during last spring's NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
So it's fitting that FinnFest USA will take place in Minneapolis this year. The event, running through Sunday, will certainly celebrate historic ties. But it won't just be a look back. In fact, Finland offers a modern model on how to run a successful society.
Finland's education system, for instance, is considered by many experts to be among the best in the world. Its model and its implications for Minnesota and the nation's education policy will be explored in a conference called "Cradle to Career: Education for a 21st Century World" at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management.
And Finland's business environment and opportunities will be explored at a "Connecting Gateways: Finland and Minnesota" conference organized by the Finnish American Chamber Minnesota. The keynote speech will be delivered by Ritva Koukku-Ronde, Finland's ambassador to the United States.
Finnish culture and religion will be celebrated, too. The opening ceremony will be held Thursday at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Panels, lectures and concerts will occur at various Twin Cities venues.
The increasingly international composition of this state and nation is something to celebrate, particularly with the arrival of so many from Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere over the last few decades. But not to be overlooked is the state's Scandinavian heritage. This year marks the 150th anniversary of modern Finnish immigration to North America, which is something all Minnesotans can celebrate, no matter where they or their ancestors originated.

I stayed at Geneva's busiest time and it was competitive. If it offers lower rates, the hotel obviously can't offer super everything but the things that were important to me - clean, newish bathroom, comfortable bed, good (continental) breakfast and fast free wifi in the rooms were all there. - Anonymous
convenient loc. each was given just 2 buns for breakfast. hotel services were excellent. friendly staff. - Anonymous
An easy 25 minute walk from the main railway station, or you can catch tram 12 which goes just near the hotel.
We walked the distance both ways with our luggage and found it pleasant walk, but this I guess does depend on the amount of luggage...
Finding the hotel was a little confusing as the number 2 in the address refers to the doorway at the street level which you must enter but there is no sign of Hotel Central which is on the sixth floor! Catch the small lift to sixth floor and turn left a - Anonymous
Location - Anonymous
I stayed here because the other hotels were outrageously expensive during the week in Geneva and there were 2 UN conferences so much was booked out. It turned out to be fine. I booked a double room, as that was all that was available, and thus had actually a corner room with 3 windows and plenty of space. The hotel is plain and functional. It was ok as I was there for 2 nights on business and just needed a bed and a clean place to stay. The location near the train station is excellent so easy - Anonymous
The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I stayed for a business trip and found the staff very helpful and accomodating - loaned me an umbrella, etc. Continental breakfast was also very nice, with fresh croissants and a good selection. Located directly across from the train station, so it wasn't too close to the "red light" district nearby. Overall, an excellent budget hotel. - Anonymous
All the staff were good and the the male manager/proprieter was exceptionally helpful and freindly. I felt very welcome at the hotel and will certainly stay there again when next I visut Geneva - Peter
This was one of the few reasonably priced hotels in Geneva not located on the sketchy Rue de Bern (red light district). Great location by the Rhone. It was easy to walk to Old Town and to the main train station. The staff was friendly, and the a nice breakfast was included. A great value, by Geneva standards. - Anonymous
It's an Ibis, so you can usually guarantee that you'll be reasonably comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient, the room was very clean and comfortable, and a good size. (Got a Smart Deal with letsbookhotel.com). Compared to the general cost of hotels in Geneva it was a fair price (but nothing's cheap in Switzerland). Continental breakfast was adequate. I'd stay here again. - Anonymous
Recently opened hotel with reasonable prices. Spacious rooms. The third
bed in the family room is incredibly comfortable. Both German and Swiss
sockets on the wall. Nice bar. Good Wifi connection. A bus station not
far away. Free traveler's transportation cards. Parking with
elevator accessibly. An alluring scent in all areas. - Anonymous

Question on feeler gauges
Hi Folks,
It's spring and among other things I'm doing, going to check and adjust the valves on some of the engines. Couldn't find the feeler gauge I usually use, but discovered another one which I'd forgotten I had. I'm used to gauges that have ".oo4" etc. on each feeler. This one just starts with "1" and continues and is about an inch thick with all the gauges it contains. The fellow who gave it to me was a retired machinist and I'm wondering if the "1" is actually ".001?"
The gauge I usually use had been borrowed by my brother one day while I was at work and he'd forgotten to return it. He's currently in bed with pneumonia, so it'll be awhile until he wanders down to his barn to disinter it.
Anyone familiar with gauges that use this marking system?
1 may be equal .001, if so this would be thinner than sheet of paper. so if 1 is like sheet of paper except thinner then it's .001. .1 would be .100 thousands which would be 100 times thicker than piece of paper. Should be obvious. .002 should be marked on the feeler gauge and so on which is about as thick as sheet of paper. Very few feeler gauges start out at .001 that's very thin, usually that start out at.0015 which is 1 and 1/2 thousands. half of a sheet of paper.
Most common sets of feeler gauges go from .001 to .025. To get 1 you would have stack enough to get one full inch thickness. if you see dicmel point in front of the 1 it would be .1 or .100 or .1000 you would have to put about 5 togather to get that thickness from standard set of feeler gauges.
Thanks for all the responses. My brother got tired of laying around and dug out my feeler gauge and returned it. At the same time I had errands in town And dropped by a machine shop to see what I had. No Idea. "1" is neither .oo1" or 1mm something in between. Chatting with the guy, I remembered that the fellow who gave me this was a retired machinist who worked for a company who specialized in aluminum parts for airplane engines. He theorized that it was a special gauge for setting up some mill or something. Dunno.
Thanks again,

If marketers are buying technology, they should learn agile as well
Keep your customers close, and keep your internal customers even closer: Before a lot of money and effort gets spent on technology, marketers should look at agile methodologies.

K&N Filter
foosacubMarch 22, 2008
Old man is in Iraq - took a peek under the hood to see what kind of aftermarket stuff he had on his 97 F250 Light Heavy Duty, and I don't think this filter has EVER been cleaned! So I got the kit, but now I'm paranoid about getting all the excess oil off after re-oiling it. I'd really rather fry the sensor and have to blow $300.
What do you guys think? Get a new, better filter? (I've never been a K&N fan, anyway.)

Similar to Home Run - but not Home Run....?
Would like to plant a red rose bush as a specimen plant in a little garden area between my front walkway and the house. There is about a 4ft square patch for it. I'd like it not to be overly demanding, and a continual bloomer. I prefer a true red - not a pinky red, not an orangey red. Home Run seems to be much like what I'm asking for - but do you know of another red rose that has double blossoms?
Miss Mary
Mary, I am just throwing this idea out as I have no idea how this rose would do in your area or if you would even like it. It is Lavaglut. It has smallish, very deep red blooms that are cast iron in heat and literally cover the bush. Its down side, in my area, is it gets powdery mildew as time passes. I happen to live in PM country--hot days, cold nights--and this rose gets shade in the early day time. But is has lots of good attributes, too. And, it doesn't get too huge in my garden.
Here is a picture of the bush, and blooms up close,
My camera didn't capture the deepness of the red color unfortunately. It is darker red.
Plus, there are few red roses as healthy and trouble free as Home Run. It may require a bit more attention dead heading, but it will likely require less attention to spraying. And, as Hoovb commented, single petaled flowers usually begin flowering earlier in the season as they require less heat and light to form blooms; they tend to repeat faster for the reasons she stated and they will generally flower later into fall/winter for the same reasons. Kim
Both Lavaglut and Homerun are very good roses. I used to have Lavaglut and still grow a pair of Homerun's. However, if I had to pick only one red Floribunda to grow it would be 'Black Forest Rose'.
Very similiar to Lavaglut in many respects, but a large improvement in terms of disease resistance and it repeats much faster as well. But really, you can't go too wrong with any of these 3 choices.

- Suzanne Collins - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(born 1962). U.S. children's book and television show writer Suzanne Collins was perhaps best known for her young adult science-fiction novels belonging to the Hunger Games trilogy. Since her book debut in the early 21st century, her work has become highly sought after by fans. Although some critics and general readers have pointed out that the violence in the Hunger Games series seems excessive for the intended audience, most critics have expressed mainly positive reviews.

I am currently working on WPF touch-screen application. I am developing it on Windows XP machine. I have tested it on this machine and it works perfectly fine. But when I deploy it to Windows Embedded machine I start to get strange behaviour: all pop up messages, drop down list, context menus appear behind the main window.
I am also setting the focus on my main window, when application loads, to enable context menu on the main screen.
Also my main window's AllowTransparency is set to true, (I have seen people had similar issues when having set to AllowTransparency). And also this didn't happen in the previous release.
Edit: The issues has gone after several compilations, I was unable to reproduce it, but I am still trying. I also think it has to be something related to graphic driver, as it happens on one windows XP machine, but not on another (hardware is different, one run XP embedded 2nd XP professional).
Any idea why this is happening?

Apple ends physical media OS distribution with Mountain LionAfter testing the waters by distributing Mac OS X Lion via the Mac App Store or an OS-toting USB drive, it seems Apple is ready to ditch physical media altogether and will only be offering digital downloads of OS X Mountain Lion.
Apple on Friday confirmed that the upcoming OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will be exclusive to the Mac App Store when it hits the virtual shelves sometime this summer, according to Pocket-lint.
When Mac OS X 10.7 Lion was released in 2011, the company was concerned that customers would be wary of installing a new OS from a digital download. In response, Apple offered upgraders the options of going down to a brick-and-mortar Apple Store to have a representative install Lion, or purchase a thumb drive of the OS at a largely inflated price.
The worries were unfounded, and the USB drive was a poor seller.
"It was an interesting test, but it turns out the App Store was just fine for getting the new OS," an unnamed Apple source told Pocket-lint.
The Cupertino, Calif., company has been pushing to make digital downloads de rigueur since the release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in 2009 and subsequently the Mac App Store in 2010, which has tallied over 100 million downloads as of December 2011.
Apple's next-generation OS X Mountain Lion was released as a developer preview on Thursday and looks to bring a number of iOS features to the desktop environment.

Today in NYC History: ACT UP Fights Back Against AIDS Crisis (1987)
Janos NYC Blog
No group did more to raise alarms about the New York City AIDS crisis than ACT UP, born out of a powerful speech delivered by Larry Kramer on March 10, 1987.
David Geffen Is On A Quest To Give It All Away
A longtime advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, Geffen partnered with the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York to established the David Geffen Center, which provides free, confidential HIV rapid testing, syphilis testing, and Hepatitis C testing in all five of the city's boroughs.
San Francisco Study Suggests Scope of PrEP Need in New York
Gay City News
A study presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections suggests that New York City will have to get tens of thousands of gay and bisexual men on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to achieve the 75 percent reduction in annual new HIV infections that the state's Plan to End AIDS has set as its primary goal.
LGBT advocates differ on Cuomo's sexual assault rhetoric
Capital New York
National advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are taking issue with Governor Andrew Cuomo's rhetoric on college sexual assault, which they argue he has framed as a crime committed against heterosexual women by heterosexual men, despite the fact that people with other sexual orientations or gender identities are victimized at the same or higher rates [....]Anthony Hayes, spokesman for the New York City-based Gay Men's Health Crisis, said Cuomo's aim is to make it easier for any victims of sexual assault to report, and that "while he is encouraging women to speak out, I think he is encouraging all people to speak out."
Alan Cumming Launches 'The Celibacy Challenge' Against FDA
EDGE Media Network
It's the ultimate challenge for a do-gooder: abstaining from sex for an entire year, just to donate blood. In December 2014, the Food and Drug Administration relented on their 30-year discriminatory policy preventing men who have sex with men (MSM) from donating blood -- provided they abstain from sex for a year.
Seven Things You Need to Know about HIV But Probably Don't — From An Expert

Unsung Gay Heroes in History
Fyne Times
Larry Kramer (1935-present): Every movement needs a voice of anger and righteousness, and when the AIDS pandemic hit, the gay community was lucky to have Larry Kramer, whose editorials and plays (particularly The Normal Heart) demanded that the government take action and that gay men take responsibility for their health.

Why The Gay Blood Ban Is Really A Gay Sex Ban
HIV Plus Magazine
The AIDS service organization GMHC lambasted the proposed policy as "offensive and harmful," claiming that the furtherance of "stigma, fear and discrimination" only helps fuel the disease's spread. "In reality," the organization said, "requiring celibacy for a year is a de facto lifetime ban."
Blood Ban Problems
HIV Plus Magazine
In December, the Food and Drug Administration announced its intention to ease the lifetime ban on gay and bisexual men from donating blood. In the ban's stead, the agency plans to adopt a new policy that would allow men who have sex with men to donate after a 12-month period of celibacy.

Council Member Corey Johnson Unveils 'HASA for All' Legislation
EDGE New York
"It is heartbreaking when New Yorkers living with HIV come to GMHC in desperate need of housing and other assistance, only to find out that they are 'too healthy' to be eligible for HASA benefits," said Kelsey Louie, GMHC's CEO. "No one should have to wait until they have an AIDS diagnosis to receive the life-saving support proven to not only help them stay healthy, but also prevent new HIV infections. Thank you Council Member Corey Johnson for ensuring equal access to HASA's housing and support services. This bill is critical to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York by 2020."
Theatre Charlotte presents 'The Normal Heart'
Q Notes
Written in 1985, the play takes place the years between 1981 ad 1984, the earliest days of the AIDS Crisis. It's set in New York City, one of the early epicenters of the epidemic that ravaged the gay community. Much of the play is autobiographical. Main character Ned Weeks is the founder of a prominent HIV advocacy group. Playwright Kramer found himself taking up the mantle of LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS activist at the same time, co-founding New York City's Gay Men's Health Crisis, one of the earliest AIDS service and advocacy groups.
An AIDS-Free New York is within our Reach
City & State
by Charles King, Perry Junjulas, Mark Harrington and Kelsey Louie
Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent shockwaves around the country and the globe last June with his bold announcement that New York would become the first state in the nation to end its 35-year AIDS epidemic by the year 2020. Even without a cure, new treatment and prevention tools have finally placed this goal within our reach. And just last week, the governor demonstrated the seriousness of his commitment to a comprehensive solution by adding funding to his 30-day budget amendments for this year.
Lee Daniels says controversial remarks he made about black women were "taken out of context".
The Coli
FILM DIRECTOR Lee Daniels says controversial remarks he made about black women were "taken out of context".
In an interview with US chat show host Larry King earlier this year, The Butler director recalled walking into the Gay Men's Health Crisis centre in New York whilst doing research for his 2009 film Precious, and being shocked to see a roomful of black women.
"I know that 'dialogue' and 'discussion' can often be difficult or non-existent."
Visual AIDS
Kyle Bella: "Within the archive, it's also important to note that I'm not interested, necessarily, in collecting historical facts or other things perceived as "truth." Instead, the idea of this digital HIV/AIDS represents a new way of constructing an emotionally-sensitive, personal repository of how people are having sex, how they feel about sex, and how HIV/AIDS comes into play. It'll be an educational resource because I also hope to interview clinicians who work at organizations like APICHA, GMHC, or in more community-based settings, but education can also happen in less tangible and well-defined ways, which opens up an opportunity for people who are not academics, clinical experts or otherwise involved in HIV/AIDS to speak about their own sexuality in a language that makes sense to them."
No Sex For A Year With Other Men, Says FDA; Discrimination?
Now males who have not had sex with other men in a year can donate blood, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Juanita Irman: "Beside the videos produced with GMHC, I have made videos on homosexuality, artist venues, "disabled" communities, drugs, community groups, ex prisoners. I have been able to participate in groups and panels on AIDS. As a caseworker with the Human Resources Administration I now work day-to-day directly with people with HIV/AIDS and their families. It has been great to see people overcome stigma and fear."
The State of Mental Illness in America: Crying for a Cure
Huffington Post
Ginger Lerner-Wren: "In a prior Huffington Post blog I recount HBO's brilliant film, The Normal Heart, which depicts horrendous events surrounding the early emergence of HIV/AIDS in America. Which, but for the unrelenting determination by gay activists and leaders of the organization of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, to compel governmental action, mobilizes a national public health response. You see, the linkage between prejudice and public health is not a new scenario."
No. 20 of 20 Most Amazing HIV-Positive Women: Jacqueline Williams

Larry Kramer to Be Honored by Gay Men's Health Crisis
New York Times
By Patrick Healy
Larry Kramer and the Gay Men's Health Crisis are coming full circle. The volunteer AIDS organization, which grew out of a gathering in Mr. Kramer's living room in 1981, but whose leaders ousted him two years later due to his confrontational tactics for drawing attention to the epidemic, will honor him at its annual spring gala on March 23 by creating a lifetime achievement award bearing his name, the group announced on Friday.
Mr. Kramer, a writer who dramatized the early deaths from AIDS and the struggles of the Gay Men's Health Crisis in his landmark play "The Normal Heart," will be the first recipient of the Larry Kramer Activism Award; in subsequent years it will be given to advocates who reflects his "spirit, passion and fearlessness," said Roberta A. Kaplan, co-chair of the organization's board.
Mr. Kramer, who went on to help found the protest group Act Up and, at 79, remains a prominent voice on gay issues and AIDS, has dipped back into the fold of Gay Men's Health Crisis before. He was invited to speak at its 10th anniversary ceremony, where he called out board members for not doing enough to fight and prevent AIDS. But the new award will be a permanent recognition of Mr. Kramer's contributions to the organization, as well as an attempt "to bring a sense of closure and healing" between Mr. Kramer and the group, Ms. Kaplan said. The depiction of that rift in "The Normal Heart" reached wide audiences with a Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of the play in 2011 and a recent movie adaptation on HBO.
"There would be no G.M.H.C. without Larry Kramer," said Ms. Kaplan, the lawyer who argued on behalf of Edith Windsor in 2013 before the United States Supreme Court in a case where a majority of justices struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act and extended federal benefits to married same-sex couples.
Mr. Kramer, who has been weakened from recent illnesses, nevertheless remains busy. The first volume of his epic novel, "The American People," running 800 pages, will be published in April by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and a new documentary about his life, "Larry Kramer: In Love and Anger," is scheduled to air on HBO in June.
Mr. Kramer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
Tickets for the Gay Men's Health Crisis gala, which will be held at Cipriani 42nd Street, will go on sale on Tuesday.

Trans People Are Pushing the FDA to Rethink Their Rules on Blood Donations
Vice News
Gay rights advocates, including the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), criticized the FDA's proposal, saying a rule that demands a year of celibacy still effectively bans almost all gay men from donating, reinforces an outdated stereotype that HIV is a gay disease, and is not backed up by science. GMHC said that all donors — men and women, gay or straight — should be evaluated on their individual risk factors.

Leader Telegram
The film follows gay activist Ned Weeks (Ruffalo) as he and a small group of supporters attempt to raise HIV/ �AIDS awareness in New York during the early 1980s, a time when the disease was still very unknown and misunderstood. The movie is based on the largely autobiographical play of the same name by LGBTQ activist Larry Kramer, who founded the Gay Men's Health Crisis.
'Larry Kramer In Love & Anger': Sundance Review
Holywood Reporter
To anyone who has seen The Normal Heart, Kramer's painful history as the co-founder of GMHC will be familiar. He was eventually ousted when his scathing attacks on the administrations of New York City mayor Ed Koch and president Ronald Reagan were judged to be counterproductive in the fight for funding and support. Well-chosen clips from TV interviews illustrate his uncompromising style and disdain for standard diplomacy.
Have Gay Americans Outgrown Their Community?

Yet this inferred "beginning" of gay culture—and therefore community—exists today as the springboard for LGBT America. Following this liberation came a new, more macabre form of rage as the AIDS epidemic spurred gay male activists to coalesce, leading to organizations such as the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) and the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP).

The decade between the two plays shows in their tone and approach.

"Weeks/Kramer goes on to insist that there is some historical connection between children not being taught Kramer's histrionic history of Turing and what he identifies, with a viciousness that is typical of Kramer, as the self-loathing of the gay men around him (the scene involves all of them expelling him from Gay Men's Health Crisis, an organisation he helped found)."
