Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc (1412—1431) is the ultimate iconic rebellious teenager. In nineteen years she lived a fuller and more exciting life, effecting the future histories of the two most powerful nations on Earth, than most can even dream of, and then died a martyr's death for her cause and beliefs, for which she was declared a saint 500 years later. Her story has been told in many novels, movies and comic books. She was the girl who God gave a mission to drive the occupying English out of northern France. So fervid was her demand for action that she was made an advisor to the French high command and led them to victory after victory in the cause of F
Avengers Make Over 1 Billion, I Make 106!I'm sure that you guys are aware by now that the Avengers have made over one billion dollars at the box office. It has actually become the 6th highest grossing film of all time, and Disney's highest grossing film. So for all those haters out there that said Disney buying MARVEL would be a bad thing, "In yo' face!" And that's not the only big Avengers related accomplishment- my Disney-MARVEL Avengers poster now has over one hundred favorites! Woo Hoo! Hooray! Yay! Thank you all who favored it that made me so happy! You guys are awesome!Avengers Make Over 1 Billion, I Make 106!3 years ago in Personal More Like This
And thanks to the combined effort of all you fans and the epicness of the movie, I have been inspired to do another Disney-MARVEL Avengers poster. I'm sketching it now and hopefully it should be coming out sometime soon. I'm hoping it'll get more favorites than the original poster since this time I know what I'm doing. So, keep your fingers crossed.
They must not be crossed enough because it's a- BIG HUGE RANDOM JOURNAL!

Hi! This is the homepage/base for a brand new project - the one hundred fans collaboration. The idea is this - each fan contributes one drawing of a chosen Marvel hero or villain and then an editor puts them all together on a software programme to form an awesome poster showing group love for Marvel. No great artistic ability is need, this is supposed to be fun, but the submissions have to follow a few rules:
1. The figure must be full colour.
2. All forms of media can be used; markers, paints, digital, coloured pencils - whatever !
3. Figure must be against a white background and have no scenery around them.
4. Only one figure may be submitted by each participating fan.
5. The editor (whoever volunteers) may, of course, also submit their own work.
6. If you wish to submit, please post your intention and chosen character in t

By techgnotic
His Books of Blood in the 1980s established him as a premier master of the horror narrative, on an equal level or even surpassing Stephen King, who said of him;
I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker.
Stephen King
Like King, Barker's works of horror have been adopted and adapted for movies, his stories becoming the basis for the Hellraiser and Candyman series and many more. Beyond his stories being used as source material, Barker has worked as screenwriter, producer, actor and director in the film world.

Halloween CrisisFor those of you who already follow me on Twitter or on Facebook must already know what I'm gonna rant about here...Halloween Crisis1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Yep, you heard me.
But careful:
I'm not gonna complain about Halloween itself, since it's my favorite event of all time. But I'll be complaining about the lack of enthusiasm French people have towards this great time of the year. And I'm kind when I'm saying "lack of enthusiasm", since it's almost hate now.
I dunno why, but when Halloween started in France in 1989, people liked it a lot! Its popularity greatly increased until 1996: and then, BOOM: year after year, shops and towns got less and less decorated for the 31st of October. Until today, where I absolutly didn't see A SINGLE halloween decoration in any of the towns that surround my neighborhood.
When I went to California, I celebrated a wonderful Halloween there. I mean, how wonderful is that: the supermarket had SO MANY Halloween costumes, Halloween decorations, Halloween candies, it was the best! I'm

Spidey 700 2nd printing coming soonI'm not a big fan of variant covers or 2nd printings namely because it deludes market values later down the road (10 or 20 years) on the original first print-first cover. To me, first print-first cover should be the most important because it is the most original...but some how because of the Image Comics market flood of the early 90s, this idea is totally ruined. Don't believe me? How much is your Spawn #1 or WildCATS #2 worth now verse 5 years after initial release? (Side note to further my point: WildCATS #2, with the cool hologram BG, was/is worth $100s...only if you got the print error version that had a double cover accidentally stapled to the front...why is that, the original work is ruined but yet its worth more?). Plus, the story for any variant (or reprint, naturally) has not changed a bit...whats the point of a variant if is the same. So, why pay the same price for the same thing that is just a redo?Spidey 700 2nd printing coming soon2 years ago in Personal More Like This

She-Venom fanfic 'one' shotAlright, so the story's up. I want to make sure people realize it's in PDF format, so you have to download it in order to view it, otherwise you'll be staring at a blank screen. This is how I'll be doing stories for now on, since I can't fit more than a few pages worth of text directly onto Deviantart, and doing so kills the formatting anyway.She-Venom fanfic 'one' shot4 years ago in Personal More Like This
Anyway, remember how I said the story would be a one shot? Well, it is and it isn't. It works well on its own, but the end is kind of ambiguous. I intentionally left it open for the possibility of a follow up. Needless to say, I really enjoyed writing this story- I think the rewritten origin of Naomi has revitalized my interest in her. Plus the state of the Marvel Universe I think could potentially make for an interesting backdrop for future stories. So we'll see how it goes.

I mean Peter was already a scientific genius who has a masters degree in biochemistry and has done chemical engineering (to make web fluid) + dabbled in electronics (for the spidertracers and the occasional one off/one shot plotline relevant gizmo) as well as having some knowledge of physics (he designed the webshooters for cripessake).

Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Povetkin Could Be in Play For Early 2013
The World Boxing Association is going to make a push for their two heavyweight champions, Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 50KOs) and Alexander Povetkin (25-0, 17KOs), to fight each other in the first quarter of 2013.
Wladimir, who also holds the WBO/IBF/IBO titles, will defend his belts against undefeated Mariusz Wach on November 10th in Hamburg. Wladimir is the WBA's "super champion" at heavyweight, while Povetkin is the "regular" champion.

funny how Povetkin as regular champ is Wlad's mandatory
yet he's the one who's been ducking the fight
Wlad will kill him as long as Povetkin shows up
just hope he fights to win instead of running scared

it wasn't a duck
povetkin didn't duck wlad as teddy atlas gave up $250000(10% of povetkin's purse)to make sure his fighter was ready. he got him in the back door with this regular champ bs. they have 20 months to invoke their mandatory or be stripped so sauerland & povetkin milked every possible cent out of the ridiculous "regular"belt & now have no choice but to face wlad or be stripped & sent to the back of the line again. he got 3 7 digit checks out of that false title so now it's time to cash in. this was all business as povetkin could have easily taken on wlad after he beat chagaev but boxing in europe doesn't work that way. they milk belts for every little cent they can get. sauerland has been doing this forever. valuev's title defences vs barrett, owen beck, mccline(who had a chance but hurt his knee). lebedev did the same thing with his regular title by fighting old men like toney & roy jones. huck had a couple of softies vs brian minto & Now arslan. this is a common theme amongst eastern european fighters & promoters. can't blame them for making as much money as they can but it's been going on for years.

So theyve milked Povetkin for aslong as they can and are throwing him to the wolves now I see.
Povetkin takes a severe beating from Wvlad. If he was a more cautious boxer like Ibrag he may have stood a chance of making it through 12 whilst Wvlad feinted and pawed at him but given his style he will just be beaten up, on the end of that left hand all night and humilated in a 1 sided fight.
I wonder if the WBA will give Povetkin some other title after he loses and declare Wvlad super dooper champ.

Not just because Wlad would pelt him with the jab and an occasional right hand, but because he doesn't have the stamina to run for 12 rounds.

Intracellular expression of toll-like receptor 4 in neuroblastoma cells and their unresponsiveness to lipopolysaccharide
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Aichi Medical University School of Medicine, Nagakute, Aichi 480-1195, Japan
BMC Cancer 2006, 6:281 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-6-281Published: 8 December 2006
Recently it has been reported that, toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed on a series of tumor cells, such as colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma and lung cancer. Although some cancer cells like melanoma cells are known to respond to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) via TLR4, not all cancer cells are positive for TLR4. There is little information on the expression and function of TLR4 in neuroblastoma cells. In this study, we investigated the expression of TLR4 in human neuroblastoma NB-1 cell line.
Expression and localization of TLR4 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow cytometric analysis, respectively. Activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB by LPS was detected by degradation of IκB-α and NF-κB luciferase assay. Activation and expression of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3 was detected by immunoblot analysis.
Human NB-1 neuroblastoma cells expressed intracellular form of TLR4, but not the cell surface form. Further, NB-1 cells express CD14, MD2 and MyD88, which are required for LPS response. However, LPS did not significantly induce NF-κB activation in NB-1 cells although it slightly degraded IκB-α. NB-1 cells expressed no IRF-3, which plays a pivotal role on the MyD88-independent pathway of LPS signaling. Collectively, NB-1 cells are capable to avoid their response to LPS.
Although human NB-1 neuroblastoma cells possessed all the molecules required for LPS response, they did not respond to LPS. It might be responsible for intracellular expression of TLR4 or lack of IRF-3.

Strengths: gets intenet
Weakness: color changes drastiically with each channel, limited viewing angle, poor picture with analogue input.
Thought it would be an improvement over old JVC TV, 25 years old. It has much worse picture, worse reception. Hopefully will be better with digital or HD set-up.

Japan's Kei Nishikori cruised through his Shanghai Masters opener on Tuesday just 48 hours after making history in Tokyo as America's big-serving John Isner saved three match points to progress.Nishikori, who became the first Japanese player to win the Japan Open on Sunday, eased past China's Wu Di 6-2, 6-4 in his first-round match."Obviously, it's not easy to play (so soon) after winning the tournament," said the 22-year-old, who is at a career-high of number 15 in the rankings after his success in front of home fans.
"We both were serving exceptionally well. It came down to a few points here or there, and I was able to pull it out. It was looking bleak for a little bit"
John Isner
"But I had a good day today. I love to play here," said the 14th seed, who reached the semi-finals in Shanghai last year, losing to eventual champion Andy Murray of Britain.Nishikori's weekend win over Canada's Milos Raonic was his first on the Tour since the 2008 Delray Beach title, sharply raising expectations that Asia had uncovered a potential world-beater.In a battle of two giants, eighth seed John Isner was forced to dig deep to save three match points to win a second-round match containing three tie-breaks and keep alive his outside chance of qualifying for the ATP World Tour Finals.Isner booked his place in the third round by beating South Africa's Kevin Anderson 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (8/10), 7-6 (9/7) in two hours and 45 minutes.
In a match featuring 45 aces and no service breaks, Anderson, at 6ft 8ins tall, squandered match points at 6-4 and 7-6 in the third set tie-break."We both were serving exceptionally well. It came down to a few points here or there, and I was able to pull it out. It was looking bleak for a little bit," said Isner, who is an inch taller than his opponent.
Juan gone
Croatian 10th seed Marin Cilic joined Isner in the third round after defeating Slovakia's Martin Klizan, the recent St Petersburg Open champion.But seventh seed Juan Monaco of Argentina failed to reach the third round, crashing out 6-4, 6-2 at the hands of former top ten player Fernando Verdasco of Spain, in the late match.In first-round action there were straight-sets wins for 12th seed Raonic and Stanislas Wawrinka, the 13th seed from Switzerland. France's Gilles Simon knocked out Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-4, 6-2.
Defeated Australian teenager Bernard Tomic admitted he had given only "85 percent" in his 6-4, 6-0 defeat to Florian Mayer.His Shanghai flop comes just weeks after he was branded "disgraceful" by his Davis Cup team captain Pat Rafter following his 6-3, 6-4, 6-0 US Open defeat at the hands of Andy Roddick.Tomic admitted he only gave "about 85 percent", adding: "Today I gave 100 percent in the first set. I felt in the second set, my 100 percent wasn't even close to where it should be... the mental skill is one of my biggest problems."And China's Zhang Ze, who last week stunned Richard Gasquet in the China Open, could not produce fireworks for a second consecutive week, slipping to a comprehensive 6-0, 6-2 defeat at the hands of Taiwan's Lu Yen-hsun.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
The Iron Horse Hotel
500 West Florida Street, Milwaukee, WI, USA
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
If you're in the upscale Midwestern Harley-riding demographic that The Iron Horse Hotel is aimed at (yes, you read that right) then chances are you already know about it. Not only is it a high-end boutique hotel in a contemporary urban-loft style, which is remarkable enough for Milwaukee as it is, but it's certainly the world's first such hotel with a motorcycling theme — and it's definitely no coincidence that the Harley-Davidson museum is just across the street.
It's not as odd as it sounds. Riders find covered bike parking, plenty of storage space for leathers and helmets, and a general ruggedness to the interiors — no fear of kicking over something delicate with a boot-shod foot. Bike agnostics, however, still benefit from the Iron Horse's unique personality, and the rooms are as plush as any: 42-inch LCD televisions, spa-like bathrooms, and in-room bars stocked with full-size wine bottles.
A small yet well-equipped gym and spa complete the package, along with a classic oak-paneled bar and grill and a fine contemporary American restaurant. A scary biker bar it certainly isn't — just a stylish and luxurious hotel that's bike-friendly to boot.

Our Current House
Call It Vanity, Call It Shelf-ishness
It has been nearly a month since we talked about stenciling the floor in our sink nook (we're all over the place lately – Clara's room, outdoor tiling, installing our stair runner, landscaping adventures, starting in on the kitchen, etc) but that doesn't mean we were done in there. We had a few more bullets to check off:
- sealing those stenciled floors
- loading in the closet after the floors dried (hopefully with more function/storage instead of the stuff we thoughtlessly shoved in there when we moved)
- updating the vanity with more function as well as a fresh finish (up close it was in pretty rough shape, and we thought we could gain more function from that empty cubby on the right side if we added some inexpensive shelves)
So to knock that first bullet off the list, Sherry used a small foam roller to apply two thin and even coats of SafeCoat Acrylaq to the floor (that's our favorite non-toxic eco poly). She rolled those on about 24 hours apart, and wore a respirator just because it wasn't fully odorless. It went on pretty fast, and she started in the furthest corner of the closet and just rolled her way out of the room. Then we blocked it off while it dried so we didn't end up with puppy paw prints in it.
It has been a nice protective final step that has made us less worried about any chips or drips (heck, I was even able to scrape off a dried staining splatter later without damaging the stencil).
Once the floor sealer was fully cured (we waited around 72 hours) we could load in the closet, and this time we tried to be more thoughtful about what went where, and what would be the most functional. Bringing in a dresser and a mirror as well as a laundry room basket to use as a hamper really helped to make it a lot more storage-friendly than a bunch of random bins and piles. Although this dresser will probably end up in the nursery and our new West Elm dresser will most likely make its way in here after we add that wall of built-ins around our bed down the line.
Here's a shot of Sherry's side:
And my side (note the difference in shoe quantities):
Just as a refresher, here's what the closet looked like when we moved in and threw everything down. It's amazing what some fresh paint on the walls, trim, floor, and ceiling along with some much needed organization and some old furniture (the dresser's a hand-me-down and the mirror was a $5 yard sale find) can do.
So with those first two bullets checked off, it was shelf o' clock. They were actually a pretty easy build. We just had to keep two things in mind as we planned them out on paper:
- how to build supports for two shelves (function!)
- where to create places to attach the front-facing boards to make it look pretty (form!)
So here's what we came up with (we like to map things out on paper together, and then we usually divide and conquer, so in this case Sherry did the polying and most of the closet organization, and I was happy to do the shelf building and staining, especially since the stain isn't without VOCs). Then Sherry swooped back in and tackled the hinges and reattached the doors while I switched out the drawer and door hardware.
As for the building step, I started from the floor and worked my way up.
Step 1: I nailed a small piece of scrap wood into the side of the vanity (and another just like it into the baseboard on the opposite side) with one side resting on the floor and the other set back 3/4″ from the front of the vanity's toe kick.
Step 2: This created a spot for me to attach a strip of plywood that would effectively extended the toe kick all the way across.
Step 3: Right above this, I nailed in matching strips of 1 x 2″ board (that I ripped in half on my table saw) that the bottom shelf could rest on. You'll see in Step #10 why I didn't line it up with the bottom of the vanity.
Step 4: I placed my first shelf, which I cut out of a piece of plywood I had leftover from the sunroom ceiling. It was such a tight fit I didn't bother nailing it into place.
Step 5: After carefully measuring for the middle of the space, I nail-gunned another set of small strips on all 3 sides. I hadn't done a back strip on the last shelf because it (coincidentally) rested perfectly on the top of the baseboard. Note: in this photo you can see how the vanity is a little dinged up in a few places, hence our desire to refinish it, which would also help us match the new wood with the old wood.
Step 6: I added my second shelf, cut from the same piece of plywood scrap.
Step 7: We wanted to add a face board at the top of the opening too, since we were trying to mimic the spacing and the look of the existing vanity. So by putting a face board here, it'd continue the strip of wood between the drawer face and cabinet doors that's already on the left side. So, just like I did for the toe kick, I nailed small pieces of scrap wood here, set slightly back from the front of the cabinet.
Step 8: Time to start adding face boards. I started with a vertical one against the wall, which was a 1 x 3″ board (which really measured 1 x 2.5″) that I ripped on the table saw to be 1 x 2″ to match the width of the existing face boards. I glued and nailed it into place against the supports and shelves.
Step 9: Since that vertical face board got nailed into the small piece of scrap that I had placed at the top, I no longer had a place for the horizontal face board to attach. So I screwed another piece of scrap into the back of the vertical board to create one again.
Step 10: Now to put in all of the horizontal face boards, which were from the same 1 x 3″ board that I ripped to be 2″ wide. I was able to glue and nail these into the supports and the front edge of the shelves too. I wanted the bottom edge to match up with the existing vanity, which is why in Step 3 I had to account for the 2″ face board when placing my shelf support strips.
Here's a pulled back shot of the whole thing once it was constructed. Putting it together was pretty fast (maybe an hour?). It was triple-checking all of my measurements and cutting my pieces that took the longest. I was certain I was going to mess something up along the way – like forgetting to account for the thickness of the plywood shelf when placing my support strips – so I tried to do the whole measure twice (and think twice) before cutting once thing.
Obviously the next challenge was getting the new shelves and the old vanity to be the same color. We wanted to maintain some semblance of wood grain texture, but also had some darker toned wood items in our bedroom (like a big leaning wall mirror near the doorway to this sink nook) that inspired us to go a little richer/darker with our new stain choice. We also learned from painting the vanity in our half bathroom that a deeper, less-orange shade can tone down the yellow in the sink top. So after having such a good experience with PolyShades on our stair railing (and having half a can leftover) we decided to go that route with the vanity.
The other can pictured above is some stain that we had leftover from Clara's dresser makeover, which we first brushed onto the new shelves (to get them closer to the existing color on the left side of the vanity before PolyShading the whole thing to be uniform). I stupidly forgot to take a picture of that step, so unfortunately we'll just have to skip ahead, but the color wasn't a perfect match at all – just sort of within a tone or two instead of one side being bleach blonde. Apparently it was enough of a similarity that one coat of Espresso PolyShades (applied with a brush) did the trick in fully bridging the gap. Oh and before I brushed on the PolyShades, Sherry lightly sanded the existing vanity side so it was stain-ready just like the fresh wood was.
Before Sherry reattached the doors and put the drawer back in (all of which I had removed to make staining easier) we updated the knobs with some cheap ones (under $2 each!) that we found at Target. We thought that the octagon shape was a nice step-up from completely basic but the color would blend in nicely with our dark stain, so the knobs won't compete with the patterned floor. In addition to using four of them to replace the existing knobs, I also drilled holes to add two more in the dummy drawer face that sits under the sink for a more balanced look.
And with that folks, we have a completed vanity. Wait, but let's reminisce about what we started with:
And where we ended up:
I realize the dark stain color makes it a bit hard to see some of the detail in photos (in person it's more wood-grain-ish without looking quite as goth-dark), but I'm happy to report that the new shelves look like they've always been there. We only did one coat of the PolyShades because we didn't want it getting any darker, so there's a little variation in the wood tone throughout the vanity. A second coat might've evened that out, but we both decided we like how the variation maintains the wood grain (although if you're going for consistent overall coverage, we'd probably recommend two coats).
The best part is that the project was super cheap for us. Thanks to having the plywood and both types of stain on hand, our only costs were a 1 x 2″ board and a 1 x 3″ board ($12 total), along with the knobs ($12) and two pairs of new ORB hinges for the cabinet doors ($6). So this entire vanity update came to a grand total of $30. Note: if you don't have plywood and stain on hand, you might want to add $30 to the budget.
Between this, our half bathroom, and our stair makeover, we're starting to notice that we're really gravitating towards high-contrast, almost monochromatic color schemes in the smaller nooks and crannies of this house. I don't think it's an indication that we're ditching color (our adjoining bedroom has blue walls, a green rug, bright yellow pillows, and a patterned headboard – and we can't forget Clara's recent wall & door makeover) but I do think we're appreciating the impact of some dark accents in the mix.
And just for fun, here's a before shot from that angle from before we moved in:
So I'd say we're getting pretty darn close to calling Phase 1 of the sink nook complete. Which is probably a good thing since we're halfway through stripping wallpaper in the dining room and ready to start rolling on some kitchen updates before the chaos of the holidays (along with the showhouse kicking into high gear). What did you guys do this weekend? Any building? Sealing? Staining? New hardware? Closet organization? As boring as the closet organization part sounds, it's pretty nice to finally have a real spot for all of our stuff after feeling like we were living out of bins and sorting through random piles since June.

Update: Things are really picking up with the Habitat For Humanity showhouse (ahh! the foundation is being laid and framing starts next week!) so there will be some Wednesdays without an afternoon post. Thanks for understanding!
Fall is the best. It's my favorite (well, that and smiling). I love it because the weather rocks my socks and most years we're treated to several weeks of beautiful fall colors. Yet somehow we always find ourselves rushing to accomplish something each autumn. One year it was trying to sell our first house before the leaves fell (along with our curb appeal). Last year it was cramming things in before setting off on our book tour. And this year it has been trying to grow grass in our sad excuse for a front yard.
I know, I know – landscaping posts aren't always that exciting. But we've crammed about two months worth of progress into one post in the hopes of making it a bit more satisfying than "hey, we threw down some grass seed. Doesn't it look… seedy?"
The shot above is actually from this summer, right before we asked a landscaper who was working a couple of doors down to level out some ground stump piles leftover from having a few trees removed (more on that in this post). That quick leveling job set us back a mere $60 and gave us a grass-seed-ready front yard. Or so we thought. The only issue with that one area of leveling is that it revealed that the rest of the yard wasn't well graded at all (those freshly flattened spots were surrounded on almost every side by low points that collected water during every rain). So we had to accept that our yard wasn't as ready for seeding as we had originally thought. Le sigh.
We contemplated just dumping a few bags of topsoil down and calling it good, but we (well, mostly I) kept having the nagging thought that it was going to annoy me for years to come if we didn't just do it right the first time. I eventually got Sherry on board with the idea of having some dirt delivered and getting the whole area properly graded, something we acknowledged was a possibility in this post, but were still a little reluctant to dive into until we saw how bad the yard was after a heavy rain.
So we decided to just pull the trigger and do it right once instead of working to establish a lush yet bumpy grass yard that we'd later need to redo. Yay, right? Except we couldn't find anyone who was available to do it. It was late September by this point and every landscaper and dirt delivery service seemed to be booked up already (we called at least ten people – even some folks from a few towns over). We had all but given up on the entire idea when, by some miracle, the original landscape guy (Steve) who did that quick little flattening session called to say that he could squeeze us in that weekend. Huzzah! And then a miscommunication got us pushed off to the following weekend. Urgh! And then a week of heavy rains bumped us back another weekend. Double urgh! So it wasn't until the Bowers visited in mid-October that they finally arrived and we all gathered outside to watch the main dirt-centric event.
Steve assessed how much topsoil we'd need based on the size of of our yard and how much grading was necessary to leave us with something nice and flat (no more swampy low points). This was just one of two heaping truckloads that we got. Yes, there were about five car-sized dirt piles.
With that much dirt, there was no way Sherry and I would be able to get things done with a wheelbarrow and a rake, so we let Steve the landscaping guy go for it instead.
This is the part the kids enjoyed watching the most – although Clara played shy and hid behind the railing for a good portion of it.
Steve had suggested that we mark off what would become mulch beds so that we didn't waste dirt (oh the precious dirt!) in areas that wouldn't be getting grass. So a few days before, Sherry and I used a hose to plan out some curvy beds around some of the tree groupings. A hose is nice to use because you can bend it and move it around until you like the shape, and then when you like the look of things, you can trace its shape with some marking spray to outline those future beds. We won't actually mulch them 'til spring, so this is the last we'll speak of them until then most likely. Shhh, these are the mulch beds that shall not be named.
By early afternoon, the yard was looking gorgeous. Okay, I realize a bunch of dirt doesn't really deserve the g-word, but it was really exciting to see the whole area smoothed out and no longer spotted with erratic splotches of moss, weeds, and mud (that dry looking area between the two trees is going to be a mulch bed, where we'll add more plantings someday). Rain was in the forecast for that afternoon, so Steve recommended that we get the grass seed down ASAP so that it could sink into the fluffy topsoil before the precipitation matted it down into more solid dirt (that's less ideal for growing grass since you want the dirt to be soft when the seed takes root instead of compressed and rock hard). You can see a single track mark from our broadcast spreader when I was just starting to put down some grass seed in this photo below:
One of the reasons that we got so much dirt delivered was because we wanted to take care of this area that we affectionately call The Wetlands in the backyard. I know it looks like seed-ready dirt from this angle, but it was suuuuuper unlevel. It basically turned into an 8″ swamp after every rain (there was about a 12″ drop from the walkway to the area in the middle of this dirt-hole).
Here it is with lots of dirt filling in that entire gulley (after I had spread the grass seed).
And now, through the magic of the Internet, let's fast forward about three weeks when I snapped this photo of things starting to come in.
About a week later it's even more filled in (this shot was taken a few days ago). We got a much later start on this whole seeding thing than we had hoped, so we feared we might've missed the boat entirely, but it has slowly been doing its thing. Phew.
In our past experience (our first house had an all mulch front yard that we seeded from scratch), we'd never gotten thick coverage after just one season of seeding. So while it should still get even more filled in than what we have now, we're planning to overseed next spring (and maybe again in the fall) to finally get a lush lawn back there. As for our tips for seeding, now that we've done it a few times, we like to use a broadcast spreader to drop the seed and then we just water it everyday for around 15 minutes with a broadcast sprinkler to establish it (we like to do it in the early morning when we wake up, just so we remember).
You might also notice a few more evergreen shrubs appearing in that "Progress" shot above. They're our first step in trying to reclaim a bit more privacy back there – especially in the winter once the trees are bare. When we bought this house we knew we'd have to add some more evergreen trees to block the view of some other houses through those woods, so we told ourselves that each fall we're going to buy a few good screening trees and shrubs in the hopes that we'll eventually have year-round privacy when they all fill in.
These are from a local nursery (Great Big Greenhouse, for any locals who are wondering) and we just met with one of their all-knowing garden guys who recommended them for us based on our criteria: evergreen, deer-resistant, partial shade, and size (they're all eventually supposed to grow somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 ft x 10 ft to create fence-like privacy when it's all said and done). You can't tell in this photo, but they're staggered by about 6′ (they're not all in the same line, so they should overlap in front of or behind each other instead of smashing into each other as they grow.
They were having a fall perennial sale so we scored them for 40% off and delivery was only $25. They also come with a one year warranty, so we're hopeful that we can keep them alive, but it's nice to know that we can return anything that doesn't make it and grab something else that might work better. So far, so good, though. Oh and the wax myrtle is a native plant (we love working those in whenever we can) and it smells really good, so we hope to add more of them around the rest of the backyard as we continue screening things over time.
As for our planting tips, we've had luck digging holes that are twice as wide as each plant's root ball, but only as deep as the root ball itself (sinking a tree too low in a hole is one of the ways you can really mess things up for it down the line). Digging in those big Nellie Stevens was no joke (it's hard to tell from these photos, but they're each about 7′ tall) but once you get them in the ground, just remembering to water them seems to be all they need to do well.
But back to grass. And back to the front yard. Here's what it looked like this summer…
…and here's what it's looking like now!
Like the backyard, it's not fully grown in yet – but things are looking waaaay better out there. The pictures really don't do justice to those mounds and valleys in the before shots, but it's so much flatter and more mower-friendly now, which is a huge relief – especially since we don't have any more little swampy spots after a big rain.
Those giant loads of topsoil were $750 and the grading was $250, which is certainly more than I ever pictured myself spending on dirt (and the main reason that Sherry had trouble getting on board with the plan). But having seen the difference it made (and will continue to make) in our efforts to liven up this home's exterior, we're both convinced it was money well spent. Now if only there weren't a bazillion leaves falling on the lawn every two seconds. Don't these trees know our baby grass blades need sunlight? C'mon!
Is anyone else doing any major front and back grading or seeding? How thrilling is it to see those little green sprouts poking out of the dirt? It never gets old.
Psst- Sherry's chatting about the bun and her pregnancy over on Young House Life.

It would be easier to enter "regular" journal names, keywords, etc. with a popup menu showing existing names/abbr. or keyword existing list. In a multiuser environment, people are likely to write Proc. for some and Proceedings for others, to write keywords in singular or plural for the same one, etc.
The popup menu should let the user get an existing entry or type a new one.
This feature would require a table containing the list of journals and keywords and so is not so easy to add.
My 2 cents
Thanks very much for this tool!!!
Richard Karnesky
Nice request. Yes: we have talked a bit about canonical journal names/abbreviations & there are a number of issues.
An easy change we might consider making immediately (and/or which you should be able to do to your installation) is to at least have a drop down for publication and abbreviated publication fields (as we currently do on the search pages). That wouldn't solve the problem of associating the names/abbrevs.
I have no idea how we'd implement the keyword list with the current database structure. I think we'd have to implement a model that is more like tagging (which we've also talked about). And, of course, keeping it usable (easy choice of tags in a single text box, a'la del.icio.us or myprogs.net or others) & featureful (allowing tags with spaces) would be an issue.
Matthias Steffens
Yes, I agree that drop-down menus would ease the manual entry of data.
Originally, I had plans to offer drop-downs for 'Add Record' but problems are that many browsers don't crop the drop-down menu widgets to the specified table cell size (but rather use the width of the longest drop-down item to calculate the width of the 'select' menu widget). This means that the current two-dimensional layout for 'add record' (which I like since it's more visually organized than the long, linear listing of fields in 'Advanced Seach') isn't feasable with drop-downs (I'd be happy to learn that this isn't true, though!).
I was also thinking of separate popup windows containing a list of existing field values that would insert clicked items into the current form field of the main window. But, IMHO, popup windows are often more distracting/disturbing than helpful. Plus, such a solution would depend on Javascript which I don't like either.
That said, I would love to merge the positive aspects of 'Advanced Search' (=drop-downs with lists of existing field values) and 'Add record' (=two-dimensional layout of fields for better visual orientation). In my opinion, these pages should look rather similar and offer similar functionality.
Anyhow, you're right in that this topic needs some re-consideration.
Although not really the same, the browser's auto-completion feature can help quite a bit to correctly re-enter previously entered field values. Safari on Mac OSX automatically remembers all entered values individually for each form field and completes them as you type ahead (or offers multiple matching items from a dynamic drop-down). This helps a lot when manually entering data. I'm sure each platform has at least one browser that offers an advanced auto-completion mechanism...
Though the current database structure may not be ideal it's possible to generate lists for fields that contain multiple items (such as 'author', 'keyword' or 'user_keys'). For the 'user_keys' field (in 'Advanced Search' when logged in) we do already extract the user's unique keywords and present them within a drop-down.
Slightly related: Besides public user keys (aka 'tags') we've also thought about a 'browse field values' feature by which you could browse (and search) all your existing field items (or sub-items) such as authors/keywords/publication titles/tags/etc -- kind of a value list browser as is present in commercial packages like Endnote et al. This feature could be combined with the popup window solution described above.
Best regards, Matthias

Lesson Plan: For Teachers: The Logging and Clearcutting Debate
Lesson Plan
Before Exploring
Write the following terms on the board or chart paper: Clayoquot Sound, MacMillan Bloedel, Sierra Club. Ask: How are these terms connected? What do you know about the controversy over Clayoquot Sound? Identify clearcutting, tree spiking, former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt, and other issues and people involved in the dispute.
Outline the Opportunity
Direct students to the topic Clearcutting and Logging: The War of the
Woods on the CBC Digital Archives website. In small groups, students will
browse the site and prepare a list of issues and controversies surrounding
clearcutting and other logging practices. Divide the class into small groups
and assign an even number of groups to each of the two sides: the forest
industry or environmental groups.
Have students return to the site to prepare arguments supporting their assigned position in the debate.
Revisit and Reflect
Stage a series of short,
time-regulated mini-debates on the issue of clearcutting. As they observe the
debates, students should list the main arguments from each debate in a
two-column chart organizer.
After all groups have presented, ask: What are the main points supporting each side in the clearcutting debate? List students' responses on a two-column chart on the board. Ask: Which are the most credible or convincing points? Why?
Students can prepare a summary statement defending their personal position on the clearcutting issue, based on information from the website and points raised in the classroom debates.

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRayno
If you had to name the Gophers chances against No. 5 Duke today in the quarterfinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis what would they be?
Ken Pomeroy says the game – in which Minnesota might seem like a pretty substantial underdog – is basically a wash.
In this post, Pomeroy gives Duke just a 50.8 percent chance of beating Minnesota, while he gives the Gophers conversely a 49.2 percent chance of winning. It's by far the closest matchup of any of the opening day games, according to his predictions.
Pomeroy goes on to suggest that Minnesota has the third best shot at winning the whole thing, behind Louisville and Duke.
Very, very interesting …

A gorgeous palette! Great array of finishes and neutral shades. The standout for me is "Sexy" the deep, dark matte berry shade. I love it in the outer crease, or with a dampened brush as a liner. Packaging is so fun too.

I. LOVE. THIS. PALETTE. This has replaced ALL of my other eyeshadow palettes, including all three of my naked palettes, which to me, is quite a feat! It's sad, but I have never been able to hit pan on anything in my life, I suppose I just get bored too quickly. However, I have hit pan COMPLETELY, I mean even desperately scraping tiny remnants left on the sides, of two different shades out of this palette: seductive & sophisticated. I used these shades on the daily for as long as I could. This is the first time I've ever experienced the panic of running out of a HG item. Needless to say, I've now got two back up palettes after they were featured on Hautelook. THANK YOU, GOD FOR THIS PALETTE.

I bought this palette because i saw a bunch of YouTubers using it and thought it would be great to help build up my makeup stock. However, I have not found much use for it. I find myself forcing myself to use it since it was fairly expensive. The only color that i can say i really love is Sexy, which is sort of a cranberry color. They are really good quality - very blendable, don't crease and i don't have a problem with fallout when i use them - but its just that the colors don't really impress me. If you're looking for a good, high-end nude palette i would definitely go for the Lorac Pro palette!

Super lovely nudes palette! I really cant get over it, I saw Essie Button using it and I absolutely fell in love with it when I finally got to use it. All the colours are stunning and I think it has the perfect amount of shimmers and mattes. The consistency of the shadows are really creamy and pigmented, not at all chalky. I really enjoy using Sexy and Snobby together and I use Sleek for my eyebrows.

I don't understand all of the positive reviews for this palette. First, it is supposed to be a nude eyeshadow palette, yet the only color out of 12 that might be considered nude is sultry. I like to wear a matte color on my lid, or at most, a color with a little bit of shimmer. This palette doesn't actually have a single shade that fills this need. The closest would be standoffish colorwise, but it is much too frosty. Same with stubborn, which is also too pink for me. Sassy would be a decent highlight color, except there's too much fallout and it's overly frosty. And the staying power of these shadows is poor. Even with NARS shadow primer, then MAC painterly paint pot as a base, wear time on my oily lids is 1-2 hours. It's no wonder that I kept forgetting I have this palette.

I know a lot of people like this palette and all. I really did try to like it since it wasn't cheap. This was my first high-end purchase and I was very disappointed. I love the sexy shade though. It's perfect for fall & the colors are really pigmented and soft. However, these shadows aren't long lasting at all! Within 1 or 2 hours, I couldn't see the color anymore and they creased like crazy! I have oily lids & even with a primer it didn't stay. I experimented with my other drugstore/ affordable eyeshadows using the same primer and everything and they didn't crease at all! Overall, very disappointed ):

Really like the darker shades. The lighter frosty shades are too light for my skin tone. schitzo is my favorite, i find that it looks very flattering. i guess i dont use half of this palette :/ But still anytime i want to apply eyeshadow i use this. The shimmery ones doesnt look tacky or the mattes doesnt look chalky at all. A wide range of looks can be done by using only this palette. Very pigmented shadows, easily can be used as a liner. The only shade missing is matte naked tone like wetnwild brulee.

Favorite palette of all time!
I prefer it over ALL the other palettes in my collection (which includes all 3 UD Naked palettes, Laura Mercier's artist palette, Vasanti's manhattan and the hamptons, and Clinique's jenna's essentials).
I just love the extremely versatile and wearable yet slightly unusual combination of shades in this palette. It's a little warm, but it's also a little cool. It has silver and champagne pink and burgundy - beautiful neutrals that are far from simply being monochromatic variations on a theme. There are no duds in this palette. Each color is outstanding and there is tremendous variety. The textures are on par with Urban Decay - in short, some of the best I've seen from any brand. The packaging is utterly adorable. The price is fair and even affordable compared to a lot of the stuff out there. I'm very picky but I can't say anything bad about this. I would repurchase forever and ever and ever.

I've only used a few of the lighter colors but I swatched them all. I LOVE this palette! All the colors suit me well and no reaction so far. I wish I had gotten this sooner, I think this will become my go-to palette.

"One draw back. half way to oyr room on the main floor, there is a strong smell of cigarette smoke. Other than that the place was great. Woody's restaurant was very good"
