French Hollyhocks...when to prune
I bought some small plants in March, they bloomed beautifully since then, about 2 feet tall. But now, the blooms are spent, and the plants look TERRIBLE!! Some rust, but mainly just yellowish, dried up leaves (regular irrigation and nothing surrounding is dry). It just is acting like it is 'over'.
BUT, I do want the reseeding. Not quite sure if the seeds are there?
TOO, I read that many bloom through the summer??
These just bloomed and are done.
Sorry so rambling, but I just don't know what to do with them...is this normal...did i kill them?? When are the seeds formed? Where? What do I do with these really ugly plants I SO want to SP! Do I cut them to the ground and they come back THIS SUMMER from the base, or is my summer bloom done?
Thnaks...these biennials are confusing!! :)
I'm not sure what "French" Hollyhocks are but with the big old fashioned ones, I cut them back to about 12" from the ground and lay the stocks on the ground near them. When the seeds dry out I crush the pods and sprinkle them around though Mother Nature will take care of that eventually if I don't get to it. You should get some new basal leaves popping up around the base of the old stock and it will grow some this summer, next year those will grow and become your new flowers, then they will be done. You'll have to plant or scatter some of the seeds each year to keep a progression of them going since they only last two years. Next years flowers will be longer lasting and much fuller than they were this year.
Malva is a perennial, different from true hollyhocks which are biennials and so have to have the seeds planted to continue in the garden over time. Zebrina is one plant that you probably don't want to leave all the cut stems to drop seed. It has a reputation for seeding extremely prolifically to the point of being a pest in some areas, so maybe set out a few for seed in case the original plant doesn't survive, but you may not want to let all of them loose on your garden.

English Bluebells
Plant two or three times the bulb size, measured to the bottom of the bulb.
I have already prepared the ground for this Fall planting using a little Mantis rototiller in the root filled ground in the woods.
I just make trenches and scatter the bulbs and leave them as they fall.
This Fall I am doing thousands. I want a display. Van Engelen Bulb prices look like $300 a thousand.
Crazy about English Bluebells.
Since you are in the US wonder if you are really talking about true English bluebells, as in Flora's photo or are instead talking about one of the other, more common ones - many grown over here as Spanish bluebells are hybrids between English and Spanish. In my area these are often disliked as they often grow readily, multiply and come up where not wanted.
I ordered English bluebells last year from a US bulb specialist, with a catalog written in such a way as to suggest they should know. What came up this year appears so far to be hybrid or perhaps even Spanish. I have not looked at them closely, with an eye toward technical details as the inflorescence structure really looks wrong for English and no fragrance is discernible - at least without getting down and my hands and knees.

Comments about Method® Antibacterial Spray, Lemon Verbena, 28 oz.:
This product appealed to us in the office because it is more natural than other products available. Problem was this product stinks so bad that we only used it twice before we decided to toss it out! The smell is not refreshing and almost smells like a dirty sponge. I was told by co-workers passing through our kitchen that something was stinking or smelled funky. I had to explain it was the cleaning spray and apologize to people over and over for the smell. This product didn't seem to clean more effectively than water or Lysol and because of the stench we do NOT recommend anyone purchase this product.

tips on removing glue?
peachykeen2008February 5, 2008
This is a great site! Other obsessing mosaic people! So many lovely projects out there! I'm so happy to be here! Here's my question: Any ideas on removing dried Wellbond when I don't like the tile color I used on a particular area? By this point everything is dried on and using the aggressive method -- screwdriver, paint scraper -- endangers the other pieces in place. I use plywood. If I don't remove the glue, the new pieces are difficult to place because of the dried glop. I'm thinking there must be some sort of solvent that would dissolve the glue and also be less frustrating! Since I am relativel new at this, I think this will be an issue that will come up time and time again!

Thomas Hardy and the Survivals of Time
Ashgate, 2003 - Literary Collections - 264 pages
Andrew Radford here situates Hardy's fiction and poetry in a context of the new sciences of humankind that evolved during the Victorian age to accommodate an immense range of literal and figurative 'excavations' then taking place. Combining literary close readings with broad historical analyses, he explores Hardy's artistic response to geological, archaeological and anthropological findings. In particular, he analyses Hardy's lifelong fascination with the doctrine of 'survivals', a term coined by E. B. Tylor in Primitive Culture (1871) to denote customs, beliefs and practices persisting in isolation from their original cultural context. Radford reveals how Hardy's subtle reworking of Tylor's doctrine offers a valuable insight into the inter-penetration of science and literature during this period.
An important aspect of Radford's research focuses on lesser known periodical literature that grew out of a British amateur antiquarian tradition of the nineteenth century. His readings of Hardy's literary notebooks disclose the degree to which Hardy's own considerable scientific knowledge was shaped by the middlebrow periodical press. Thus, Thomas Hardy and the Survivals of Time raises questions not only about the reception of scientific ideas but also the creation of nonspecialist forms of scientific discourse.

Digital Photography Computer Buying Guide
Computers are an important part of digital photography. Even those who never manipulate images need one to off-load, share, display, print, sort and backup images. While any computer can be used, careful consideration greatly improves the experience of working with digital images.
What Is A Digital Photography Computer?
At its simplest, a Digital Photography Computer is a computer which serves to off load images from a digital camera and takes them through a number of steps in their life-cycle. This covers most or all of the following steps:
- Off-loading: Transferring images from the camera into temporary storage.
- Culling: Evaluating images and deciding their fate.
- Conversion: Transforming RAW files into images.
- Processing: Applying software processing to change the look of images.
- Cataloging: Indexing and organizing images to find them later.
- Storing: Transferring and copying images to various media.
- Displaying: Viewing images for enjoyment or other purposes.
- Sharing: Sending images to online galleries and publications.
- Preparation: Process applied to ready an image for printing.
- Printing: The output of a photograph in physical form.
Some steps may be omitted, depending on the workflow, and they may not be done using a single computer. Printing in particular is often performed by a third-party with specialized equipment. A photography computer is not limited to doing photography tasks alone either. It should, budget permitting, make these tasks quick and efficient.
What Is The Most Important Consideration For A Photography Computer?
The one thing that photography requires above all else is an accurate display. Not all display are created equal and the vast majority are incapable of accurately showing image colors. Without reliable color accuracy, it is very difficult and time-consuming to detect when an image exhibits unwanted color casts and requires correction.
There are several different display technologies and variants. Almost all modern displays are based on LCD technology with either a fluorescent or LED backlight. OLED displays which are used on cameras already are probably coming in the near future. Even within one type of display, the quality and consistency can vary wildly. Smaller and cheaper displays, particularly those used in laptops, tend to perform more poorly.
All is not lost for laptop users since all current models support an external displays of some kind using a DVI, HDMI or D-SUB (VGA) connector. A few models use the more capable Display Port. Excellent monitors which take any of these outputs exist but certain restrictions apply. All laptops have a maximum output resolution and HDMI ports usually limit this further down to 1920x1080, also known as 1080p HD. Such limits are documented in the user manual of the laptop in question.
Just because a computer monitor is capable of showing accurate colors, does not mean it is doing so. To see accurate colors, a display must be calibrated. Not all display can be calibrated, so when choosing a monitor for photography, it is critical to look for one than can. Otherwise, one can calibrate the graphics card instead which does improves things but introduces issues such as banding. Given that calibratable displays are available for under $450 USD/CDN, there is little reason to acquire an un-calibratable monitor.
What Else Is Very Important?
All core components of a computer make some a difference in its performance. One can ease through the choice of keyboard, mouse, sound card and speakers when it comes to choosing a photography computer. While most other pieces count, computer performance works like a pipeline with a series of bottlenecks. Most significant improvements ares obtained by improving the slowest components.
Storage is normally the slowest component involved with digital photography. If you download photos from your camera to the computer using a USB cable, then getting a card reader will save you tremendous time waiting for images to arrive at the computer. You can get a multi-format reader if you have several cameras or a single format reader for a few dollars. Choose the one which reads the memory card format used by your camera:
The slowest bottleneck once inside the computer comes from the disk subsystem. Costs here start quite low but rise very quickly and can reach in the thousands of dollars depending on speed and storage capacity. Here too, laptops usually start with a handicap here since their disks usually spin slower. Some relatively expensive laptops take exception since they use SSDs which can be extremely fast. Fast SSDs are available for desktop and workstations. Compared to standard hard-drives they can be much faster but do not come as large. Several specific recommendations are shown in the next page.
Memory is much faster than disk I/O, even compared to SSDs, which is why improving storage gives the most value for your money. When working with huge files such as stitched panoramas, the disk bottleneck can be alleviated by more memory but for individual images this is rarely the case on a modern computer. At the other end of the spectrum, the fastest component is the CPU. Unless applying heavy processing like that needed by panorama software, CPU is rarely a bottleneck since it often spends its cycles waiting for data to come through the memory bus.
How To Buy A Great Photography Computer?
Among thousands of available computers and parts, quite a few which make a good computer for photography. Popular vendors sell pre-built systems, some of which are suitable for working with digital images. Desktop systems are nearly always upgradable while laptops rarely accept significant changes. One option is to get a decent general-purpose computer and upgrade it. A more rewarding yet time-consuming approach is to choose parts individually and assemble them into a digital photography workstation.
Technology evolves very quickly, so each time this article is updated, a new page will show the most up-to-date recommendations for pre-built and custom-built photography computers to suit different budgets. For this year's top picks, move on to page 2.

We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors voted unanimously to appoint Allen Moy as Executive Director of the Association, effective January 21, 2015.
Allen joined PCFMA as Assistant Director in 2003, and in 2011 he was appointed Director of Community Based Programs for PCFMA and became Executive Director of Fresh Approach, a non-profit affiliate of PCFMA engaged in the provision of health and nutrition education and food accessibility in the PCFMA market area.
When Allen joined PCFMA he brought over 15 years of experience in nonprofit organizations including nearly seven years as Director of Operations of the National Community Building Network in Oakland, California – a membership-based alliance of over 700 local anti-poverty groups from around the nation. Allen's prior employment included three years as Public Information Specialist for Partnership for Hope, a non-profit anti-poverty research and advocacy group in San Antonio, Texas; and nearly five years with the Southwest Voter Research Institute, a national non-profit organization working to secure Hispanic voting rights.
Allen holds a Master's in Urban Administration and a Bachelor's in Communications and Political Science, both from Trinity University in San Antonio. Allen also has a Certificate in Human Resource Management from California State University, Hayward (now Cal State East Bay). Allen currently resides in Concord.
Being an active volunteer is also important to Allen. He is Treasurer and a past President of the California Small Farm Conference – a nonprofit organization that hosts educational conferences for California's small farmers and a former Board member of Family Builders by Adoption – an Oakland, California-based foster care and adoption agency.
Allen has been instrumental in managing the growth of PCFMA over the last 12 years and he has been extremely effective in obtaining grant funding for research, development and promotion of farmers' markets. In carrying out this work, Allen has developed tools to measure a market's viability and has become an expert in opening and operating vibrant farmers' markets. Allen led the PCFMA and Fresh Approach team that wrote a handbook on opening and operating a community based farmers' market. The PCFMA Leadership Team wholeheartedly supports Allen's appointment.
The Board stands ready to support Allen in facing the challenges ahead. We ask all of the members of the PCFMA community to congratulate Allen and to give him your enthusiastic support in continuing to make PCFMA the best operator of Certified Farmers' Markets in California.

On the other hand, using a PC monitor and keyboard probably wouldn't have looked any nicer. Anyone know how PC hardware handles the special keys (command, option) on Apple keyboards?
Oh, and since prockcore didn't spell it out, the "Command" key is the one with the apple and the cloverleaf on it, if anyone's confused.
F13-F15 do not map very reliably. I don't know why they shouldn't, but F13=PrintScreen in particular was highly problematic on my Apple keyboard. I had to plug the PS2-type keyboard back in or install software to get screenshots for documentation.
Can't say I'm a fan of people who make their cases light up ( I think it's a waste of time and money, frankly), but why not try something no one else has?
You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi.

I have a 1998 lincoln navigator. When you pour water in the radiator it comes straight out the oil pan. A mechanic said that since it pours out so fast it may be internal freeze plugs and not a cracked block. Does it have internal freeze plugs? If so where would they be located?

Like having to dig through the cereal box to get your prize, North Central found what it was looking for --- and needed --- in the bottom third of its batting order.
When you don't have a jumper in the big race, winning the co-feature will have to do.
Paddy Young, the three-time defending National Steeplechase Association leading rider, sustained a compound fracture to his right forearm, between the wrist and elbow, as the result of a fall in Saturday's $25,000 Camden Plate, the first steeplechase race of the day at the Carolina Cup.
There are times during a race when you find out what your horse is made of.
Sometimes the grass is indeed greener, if not firmer, on the other side of the Atlantic.
After two races on American soil, Black Jack Blues has yet to see the backside of another horse.
When in doubt, stick to what you do best.
When their two daughters took their respective turns going off to college, John and Sandy Cushman did what all responsible parents do when their children leave home for the first time.
With Saturday's 80th running of the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races just four days away, last-minute shoppers have been gobbling up the remaining reserved parking spaces for the Camden spring classic, leaving few spots remaining inside the Springdale Race Course.
Led by 2011 Eclipse Award winner Black Jack Blues, a field of six jumpers will take to the Springdale Race Course for Saturday's $50,000 Carolina Cup Steeplechase (Gr. III.)
If Lugoff-Elgin did not know who Andrew Beckwith was before Friday night, they know more than they want to about him now.
It's hard to explain to a pitcher why you are lifting him in the middle of a game in which he has surrendered just three hits, has not allowed an earned run and struck out four batters in four innings of work in a 2-1 ballgame.
In what can best be described as an ironic twist, with a good portion of Kershaw County residents suffering from pollen-related maladies, Black Jack Blues will come to town some four months after the missing last November's Colonial Cup steeplechase due to a respiratory infection.
Last season, Lugoff-Elgin received a rude introduction to the world of 4A baseball as the 2010 AAA state champions were on the outside looking in when it came time for the post-season in the state's largest classification.
In a classic case of either getting to a pitcher quickly or not at all, Lugoff-Elgin had Dutch Fork's Hayley Elkins on the ropes early only to score one run off the sophomore right-hander.
Bargain basement purchases, horses with Camden ties and an Irish import making its first start over fences on this side of the Atlantic. What more could you ask for in a jump race?
Less than enthralled with Tyler Jordan's first at-bat in Tuesday night's game with visiting Richland Northeast, Camden head baseball coach Denny Beckley had no complaints following his second baseman's second trip to the plate. And after the third, the Bulldog boss was ecstatic.
An athlete is an athlete is an athlete.

In his critically acclaimed Rain Fall, Barry Eisler introduced half Japanese-half American freelance hit man John Rain, a "dashing and dangerous hero...as likable as he is lethal." Now Eisler's back. So is Rain, the master of death by "natural causes" whose new target threatens the fragile political balance of an entire country.
Barry Eisler spent three years in a covert position with the CIA's Directorate of Operations. After leaving the CIA, he lived and worked in Japan, where he earned his black belt from the Kodokan International Judo Center. The Rain books-Rain Fall, Hard Rain, Rain Storm, and Killing Rain-have won the Barry and Gumshoe awards, been translated into nearly twenty languages, and been optioned for film by Barrie Osborne, the Oscar-winning producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Truckstop chain, Pilot Flying J, provided an update Wednesday on where it stands following a raid on company headquarters last April by federal agents, as part of investigation it allegedly cheated customers out of money they were due.
January 14, 2014
Although technology has enabled us to collect so much data now, does having vast amounts of it really make us any smarter? Negotiating fuel-discount programs won't do you much good unless you know how to make sense of the fueling data.
January 13, 2014
Despite record setting cold weather in the U.S. last week, which can send fuel and oil prices soaring, diesel and crude prices are down.
Embattled truckstop chain, Pilot Flying J, has scored what is being called a "major legal victory" against one trucking company.
January 9, 2014
After settling an $85 million class action lawsuit in November over allegations it bilked trucking customers out money in the form of rebates from fuel purchases, truckstop chain Pilot Flying J has settled separate litigation brought by one trucking company.
January 7, 2014
Expect the cost of on-highway diesel to average $3.81 per gallon this year, 11 cents less than 2013's average price. The new monthly U.S. Energy Department Short-Term Energy Outlook is calling for the price to be even less in 2015, averaging $3.72 per gallon.
January 6, 2014
The average cost of diesel in the United States started off 2014 slightly higher than where it ended last year, according to a weekly U.S. Energy Department report and is also at its highest level since late September.
December 16, 2013
The average cost of diesel has trickled down for a second straight week, according to new figures from the U.S. Energy Department.
Fuel prices in the future may not be as high as some earlier feared, according to updated projections for U.S. energy markets through 2040, but natural gas is expected to grow, just not as rapidly as earlier believed.
December 11, 2013
Look for fuel prices to be lower next year, according to a new report from the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration. It forecasts diesel fuel prices, which averaged $3.97 per gallon in 2012, are projected to average $3.92 per gallon this year and $3.77 per gallon in 2014
December 9, 2013
No sooner than had the average cost of diesel fuel had started heading higher it has reversed course, according to new U.S. Energy Department figures.
December 2, 2013
The average price of diesel continues moving higher, hitting its highest average cost since late October. The national average was up 3.9 cents from last week, to $3.883 per gallon, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
November 25, 2013
The average cost of diesel has turned higher this week for the first time since the first of September while gasoline has increased for the second consecutive week.
With the sign-off of a judge on a settlement, the truckstop chain Pilot Flying J can finally start to close a chapter in a drama that's been playing out since mid-April.
November 18, 2013
The average cost of fuel in the U.S. continues falling with diesel hitting its lowest price since early July.
November 14, 2013
Falling Brent crude oil prices has once again lowered the projected average price for diesel in 2014. The U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration's new Short-Term Energy Outlook expects diesel fuel prices, which averaged $3.97 per gallon in 2012, are projected to average $3.91 per gallon in 2013 and $3.73 per gallon in 2014.
November 12, 2013
Diesel prices continue to slide this week as the national average dropped to $3.83 per gallon, which is down 2.5 cents from last week and 14.8 cents from last year at this time.
November 4, 2013
The average cost of diesel is down for the second straight week and is at it lowest level since early July.
October 30, 2013
After a few weeks of relative quiet, things have started heating back up between Pilot Flying J and trucking companies that are suing the truckstop chain over allegations it cheated trucking companies out of fuel rebates.
October 28, 2013
Figures released late Monday afternoon by the U.S. Energy Department show the cost of diesel is down 1.6 cents over the past week for a national average of $3.87 per gallon.

Encore Azaleas, any luck?
Has anyone had any luck with the Encore Azalea? I live south of Hoston about 30 miles from the coast. I have bought several and every single one of them died after just a few months! What am I doing wrong? I put them in sun they die, shade, they die, part sun, they die, morning sun they die! I just don't get it. I like azaleas and was just wanting some that would bloom more often but can't keep these alive long enough to see them bloom twice!
So has anyone had any luck and what did you do? plant right away, watering, feeding, anything will help. Thanks
I planted mine last year at the worst possible time, at the beginning of summer when plants were being marked down. They looked rough until this spring, of course, and one isn't doing as well as the other. Lots of new growth on one, but the other is stuggling a little.
I planted mine high, as don licuala suggested and added lots of compost then and this spring. Mulched really well with chopped leaves. Mine do get a lot of sun, until very late in the afternoon. It's probably too much, but I hate to move them now. I don't really fertilize much for any of my plants, maybe twice a year. I'm a lazy gardener :)

This place was fantastic as was the helpful local advice provided by Lyndon. Akaroa is a special little place with a nice relaxed vibe.
Wonderful welcome although we arrived fairly late in the day, our host was friendly and informative. Our stay was really good on all levels, comfortable and very pleasant with the animals on the farm . It was very enjoyable , the premises were clean attractive and we had everything needed to enhance our stay. The fresh eggs were a bonus! Enjoyed feeding the alpacas.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay in our special part of the world.
The reservation was canceled 94 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The alpacas were the highlight of this clean, well presented and fully equipped apartment. I would highly recommend it to families - I have already recommended it to friends for a family break. The nearby beach is also a treasure.
Thank you for your warm welcome, for the fresh eggs in the morning and for all the attention given to our family during the stay ! Your apartment had everything and even more that we could have imagine !
You are a great couple who live in a great place ! We were really sorry that we could not say goodbye when we left your home. Thank you again !
It was an absolute pleasure to have Judy and Lyndon to stay in my Apartment in London. I was fortunate to see them both several times during their stay and found them both very friendly and extremely easy to get on with. They even invited me to see their son perform at the Royal Opera House. Absolutely amazing!! Truly wonderful guests and I definitely recommend them to any future Airbnb hosts.
Wonderful guests. Really enjoyed having them stay and hope that they will return one day. When we go to New Zealand we will make sure we book through airbnb to stay with them. Left everything clean and tidy. Thank you.
If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful and beautiful place to get away from it all you will find nothing better than Lyndon and Judy's luxury apartment. It is very clean, modern and spacious with all the mod cons.
Judy and Lyndon are easy going hosts who have a great knowledge of the local area, from best restaurants, to walks and things to do in close by Akaroa. I've stayed several times and would thoroughly recommend it to even my most fussy friends.
I have stayed with Judy and Lyndon in Le Bons Bay and had the most fantastic time.
The apartment is a beautiful and new, completely self contained with appliances, linen and an amazing view of the surrounding countryside and bay.
A short drive to the beach and in to town. Perfect to get away from the hustle bustle.
I thoroughly recommend them to you.

Got my marble sideboard top on, finally!
I have been carrying this around in my truck for a week, now, but it is so large and heavy that I needed help to move it (and probably should not have been one of the "helpers" myself.) and needed to shore up the cabinet before I put the top on. And I am lucky even to be alive to tell the tale, let alone have gotten pics, so tough cookies, lol!
At 22lbs per sq ft, this puppy was no slouch at over 220 pounds of statuarietto marble. I had one stop left in my search for the right remnant at the right price when I found this guy! Wish I had found this place sooner! The only downside was that delivery and installation would have been exorbitant because of the distance from the shop and the fact that it was just one piece and not a whole kitchen.
So DH and I together barely got it out of the truck ind into the house up two short steps. It wold have gone better had I realized I was never going to shift that thing's weight in my hands once I had it out of the truck. As it was I was carrying it WAY too close to the center, thus carrying more of the weight than I should have been.
We got it leaned up on it's edge against the cabinet, then while I waited to catch my breath and find out of I had ruined my back we brainstormed ideas on how to get it up off the floor again and onto a 34" high cabinet without cracking it.
We ended up slipping two pieces of 1" lumber under the ends to create handholds, then DH, all by himself, lifted one end at a time onto chairs cushioned with more lumber. My job was to stabilize the piece "in flight" and get the chairs under the ends as quickly as possible.
Once it was on the chairs we scooted it away from the cabinet far enough that we could lean it down on the front edge of the cabinet and lever it quickly but smoothly onto the top of the cabinet.
It still needs to be scooted into proper alignment and siliconed on, but I am SO happy it is done! It is a beautiful piece, all I could have hoped for with the exception of not being honed, but the end result will be amazing.
The grey color I chose for paint (without having access to the stone) is the PERFECT color! I am very excited, I just have to get it painted and re-assembled then choose knobs. I am thinking about some retro glass knobs.
Next time I definitely would not pick it up without a definite plan for more help. I am hurting today, as I knew I would be, I did not play it smart in that regard at all.
But now I can put my seats up in the truck and locate my new Michigan plates to replace my (expired!) Illinois plates and clean that snasty truck OUT, man!
Here it is, a quickie cell pic. Tough to get a good angle where the reflection is not washing out all the detail.
Beautiful. You will love petting it. And rolling pie dough on it.
And your eyes will caress it every time you walk by, even if your hands are full.
Wonderful when something comes together even better than we imagined it.
A quick story. I had a piece of 14" x 36" granite left from my island that I had planned to use for an outdoor shelf. I could not begin to budge it, much less carry it, but a young man who works for me picked it up, one hand at each narrow end to move it. As he walked away, it broke in two, narrowly--and frighteningly--missing his feet. We looked at each other in utter shock and terror. It really brought home to me that this stuff must be handled with great care.
I hope your back recovers soon. I would enjoy a good book and a constantly refreshed hot bath for an hour or so, even in this torrid weather.
Bellsmom, see, that IS scary! Yikes! I have a quatrz sink cutout that i want to have fabricated into a table top (someday) and even that thing weighs so much. I can barely lift it.
I am running a bath even as I type, and threw in some epsom salts.
I did not think I was going to be able to afford marble, until then I had only gotten quotes for 3x the price I paid for that gorgeous thing. Too bad I have to put it on such an ugly cab, but someday I will find the right piece.
I, uh, kinda do fondle it about every time I walk by, he he. I should not love a "thing" so much but i truly do appreciate it's beauty.
Thanks edb2n, I called or visited about a dozen fabricators, lol. I made spur of the moment decision to stop at that last place instead of the tile store. They are a fabricator and wholesaler but had a whole warehouse full of great remnants for the perusing.
First, OMG. Perfect! :)
Second, get yourself some Arnica cream. Usually health food stores, but more recently in mainstream drug stores.
It is incredible in what it does for muscles. Sometimes swelling, too. It's an herb, so look for the highest concentration of arnica in the cream.
Interestingly enough, yoga teachers and (get this) pro football sports doctors have been using it for years.
So. More about the top. I cannot believe how lucky you were to find this perfect, beautiful piece. Right place, right time!
Enjoy and feel better.
Wow! Wonderful piece. I can't wait for your reveal. I've been following your posts and have really enjoyed your journey. I hope your back recovers soon. Long, long hot soaks in the tub with a nice glass of wine and a book is my prescription for you. I hope you feel better soon. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely beautiful!
Hope you feel better soon. One time I lifted an armoire all by myself and moved in down the hall...I am 115 pounds and pretty strong, but not really big enough to be doing that by myself (if only I wasn't so stubborn!). It ended up tipping on to me and cracking my rib. I had pain for three weeks. Last time I'll try something beyond my means.....

All is very well. I just want to be sure all the Fire Exits are in good working order and there is no surprise there. :-)
THE directions have led me to a military checkpoint underneath Waterloo station. Officials scrutinise my census paper, and I'm nodded through. A soldier reaches around his machinegun into his pocket, slips me a token and whispers "Free drinks for the French". I'm not French, but I have come dressed as a smart European from the late 1950s (below-the-knee skirt and a foulard) to experience the latest event from Secret Cinema.
I was first tipped-off about Secret Cinema by a friend who had heard about it from a colleague; most attendees discover it through the grapevine. True to its name, it doesn't advertise overtly, but has an understated website where you can register for information about forthcoming events and purchase tickets. Ever since a few hundred people gathered to watch "Paradise Park" one night in December 2007, Secret Cinema has snowballed. During a three-week run of screenings this spring (which ended this past weekend), 12,000 attendees (including me) ended up descending on the Old Vic Tunnels for a mysterious cinematic adventure. In the past year Secret Cinema has held events in Berlin and New York, and organisers are scouting for locations in Rome.
Tickets are released about a month before the event, and sometimes sell out within hours. We buy them without knowing which film will be shown, or where, but they promise a unique experience: a screening (probably a cult classic) in a lively atmosphere that includes characters re-enacting scenes, thematic installations, related food and drink and some audience interaction. Events take place every couple of months, and each one is held in a different unknown location in London—a derelict theatre, a disused hospital, underground tunnels—revealed to ticket-buyers only days before. The company's website is deliberately oblique, but it is the gateway to a lively presence across social-networking sites, where organisers plant clues and fans try to guess the next film.

On March 23, 2010, attorneys general from 18 states filed suit against the national government in the United States District Court, Northern District Florida, accusing it of committing "an unprecedented encroachment on the liberty of individuals living in the Plaintiffs' respective states, by mandating that all citizens and legal residents of the United States have qualifying healthcare coverage or pay a tax penalty."
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker sent up a trial balloon at the New York Historical Society April 6 when he said that a Value-Added Tax (VAT) needed to be considered in light of the huge deficits facing the country. According to Volcker, the VAT is "not as toxic an idea" as many have considered it to be in the past, and "if at the end of the day we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes."
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who was Chief of Staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell, has charged in a sworn affidavit that top officials of the Bush administration — including Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and President Bush himself — knowingly left innocent detainees to languish in prison to avoid political fallout. "Their view was that innocent people languishing in Guantánamo for years was justified by the broader war on terror and the capture of the small number of terrorists who were responsible for the September 11 attacks, or other acts of terrorism," Colonel Wilkerson stated.
A Republican who became the leader of the liberal wing of the U.S. Supreme Court, 90-year-old Justice John Paul Stevens, has announced he will retire at the end of the current term, after more than 34 years on the nation's highest tribunal. Nominated by Republican President Gerald Ford, who said he wanted "the finest legal mind I could find," Stevens was quickly confirmed by a Senate vote of 98-0, and was sworn in as Associate Justice on December 19, 1975.
As I wrote yesterday in the introduction to this series on ObamaCare, the aim of the survey is not to identify this or that provision in the act that shocks the conscience of constitutionalists (death panels, care rationing, RDIF implantation, etc.), rather our goal is to keep our focus on the lack of constitutional authority for this law, specifically buttressing the proposition that nowhere in our founding document do "we the people" empower Congress or the President to act in this sphere of activity.

TT is a one way street.
I've never had even games on TT, only ever one team being destroyed, I don't know if i'm just being silly, but thats just my opinion, I just hope for the best and that this game will be improved. I'm very pleased with the staff of this game and they seem to be nice people, so this is my just trying to help.
Please give info.
Riot doesn't give two ****s that a majority of the community hates the new TT.
They've spent too much time and money on it.
Exactly this.
Petition for a skin with lots of breasts that receives 1000+ upvotes? Done in a couple of days.
Petition for anything else that receives 1000+ upvotes? Yeah, it's totally being looked at. We'll get back to you.
I rather like the new TT
I think the new twisted tree line is alot of fun, i like the domination feel with the two alters to capture during game, it looks great. By the way of course TT is a one way street, there always has to be a losing side, no matter what one side is always going to lose. Great job RIOT!!!!!
Actually my friend and I came back and won a game on TT after being down 16-4.
I am not saying it happens often, but you can make a come back.
I've had quite a few really close games. Lots of back and forth action. I love the new TT and I hope they keep it around and keep improving it. That being said, I'm one of those players that can't really understand why we don't get both maps. I've read about it, I know riot's reasoning. I absolutely don't agree with it.
I've had only one even game since I started playing this new map, and it's only because our team turtled up like bosses, dragged the game on for 50 minutes, then eventually won because we outscaled them late game.
They had the early advantage, but took our inhib too early and couldn't finish, so we were able to come back.
Seems kinda familiar...
And if you spent a lot of time and money working on something, like a map, would you want people to play it?
Third, the idea that "Riot doesn't give two ****s" about anything is... just plain wrong. If you paid attention, you would see Riot staff taking time out to talk to players on the forums and to give them a whole bucketload of information.
RiotLyte takes time out of his day to explain to people why they were banned.
The champion design team works hard to make awesome new toys we can all play with every few weeks.
Riot gives plenty of ****s, more ****s than most game companies. Get your head out of your ass.
