The chair was easy to put together; however, the bottom cover opened to get the legs on, and sealed with velcro. Unfortunately, it was impossible to completely fasten the velcro because it didn't quite fit around the front legs and couldn't be put under them to keep it nice and neat. The fabric around the back legs didn't fit either and is wrinkled because the velcro opening isn't long enough.. It's not a quality that I would recommend for a formal living room or dining room, but it works for my grandson to use in the den to play video games. The color isn't what is pictured, but again, it will work for a game chair.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was more of a dark, teal-grey rather than a blue-gray as pictured on line
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Acceptable for a $99 dollar chair, but not what I'd order for a nice living room or dining room piece.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate
This is a good little accent chair. I ordered one to see if this type of chair would be good for my group therapy room at my office. I decided it might not be sturdy enough for that kind of wear and tear, but it is an excellent accent chair in my waiting room. Assembly was more difficult than I expected, 60 minutes+. I had to call to get a leg delivered as one was bowed. The fabric tends to collect anything floating, so I would not recommend it if you have pets that shed.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? True to color
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality for the price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
I am using this in my office (I am a physician) and I think they are great for the patients to sit on. They are sturdy and beautiful. Perhaps a little low to the ground but accurately described. Shipped very well, easy to assemble. So pleased with them.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? great
Nice chair, good value and mostly as described. As stated in other reviews, the blue chair is definitely darker more teal-ish color that you might guess from the picture online. Still a very nice color. Putting it together wasn't too bad. The instructions were OK, it took me longer than the suggested assembly time. Attaching the back legs was tricky because the fabric is open at the attachment site and meant to cover the screws using a velcro closure, but the opening in the fabric just barely gave enough room to screw in the upper screw. So, it was a bit difficult to push the fabric out of the way enough to screw the back legs to the back rest. But overall assembly wasn't too complicated--this is my first time assembling a chair and I wasn't too hopeless. In addition to the supplied screws and washers, there were also some smaller metal rings that appear to be extra. Don't know why they were included then? You have to really make sure everything is aligned properly so that the screws can be well tightened enough. But when everything is in right, the chair is very sturdy. It is a good sized chair. Not very tall, but it's a good height and comfortably broad. The seat is not ultra cushy (as can be judged from the pictures), but still very comfortable. I only just got it so I can't attest to long-term durability, but overall a very nice sitting chair for under $$$.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Blue color: on site looks like grayish blue, in reality is a darker teal color
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Pretty well-crafted, basic chair and also comfortable
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Color was a little off, but accurate otherwise
Chair arrived quickly; very easy to put together in 10 minutes and it was as described. Very comfortable. The color, however, was off. The seat material was almost two-tone; clearly a flaw in the fabric. I called support immediately and was given superb service. The representatives were sweet and helpful. I was issued a return number for a UPS pickup, I dismantled the chair, repacked it and it was picked up. The whole transaction took less that 24 hours. Amazing! When I originally ordered the chair, the blue was sold out. Customer support told me she would contact the warehouse and see if one was available. She called me much later in the day to say that there was one in blue, and I ordered it. Pretty good follow-through, no? I have nothing but praise for O's customer support. There were no drawbacks in this whole matter except for the fabric flaw. By the way, I was expecting a huge box, but it was packed in such a way that I, age 71, could easily manage.
Like many of the other reviewers have stated these chairs are very small as in child size. Would not recommend for adults. See height dimension.
This chair is TINY. Looks like a child's chair. MUCH MUCH smaller than the normal slipper chair. The back of the chair only comes up to mid thigh. Is way smaller than the photo makes it look. Back legs are "blades"--very this and flimsy.
Cute chair except the LAVENDER is no where close to any shade of purple I've ever seen. Will keep it because the GREY chair actually fits the rest of the decor and don't want to deal with shipping this box back.
poor quality..split wood frame...upholstery looked sun rotted...wobbly we had to return them even though the color and proportion and style were absolutely perfect.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor materials and construction
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? good
They are very small chairs. I think because the back of the chair is so short, it makes the chair look even smaller. It almost looks like it belongs in a child's room. It works but not my favorite
Pretty but a bit smaller than I expected. Check the dimensions to make sure it's ok for you. Otherwise very nice.
liked the chair, but had wanted it as a comfortable desk chair. it is comfortable, but it sits a little low for a desk. i'll just have to use it elsewhere.
I have bought slipper chairs before and yes for more money....but I missed the size on this thing. It is sized for a child or someone under four feet. I am embarrassed to have it in my home and overstock should be embarrassed to sell it. I have one more order encountered and then I am done with overstock. I have used overstock for several years now and sometimes it has been hit or miss. His was a total miss!!!!!!!!!
After weeks of calling overstock to find out where my chairs were they finally arrived yesterday. To my surprise the chairs are poorly made and not stable at all. I am afraid someone visiting my home will fall out of the chair. To make it worse the legs on the chairs are not even. I want to send them back. I would have found a better buy at the second hand shop. This was an awful experience! Do not be fooled by the purchase price. Not worth it.
This is a pretty nice chair and was easy to assemble. I notice that alot of people were saying that it was a "childs chair"; however, I would have to disagree with those comments. The chair is a little on the small side in regard to the design, when you sit on it though it does sit up high and it does not sink in. I bought the green one, this color matches as I though it would. Being a guy whe dont often buy things of this nature, but when you want to impress others we have to step it up. BUY THE CHAIR FOLKS(IT MAY NOT BE A HUGE CHAIR BUT ITS AWESOME)!!
To be honest, I got exactly what I expected for the price I paid and the fact that I had to assemble it myself. The chair itself is nice-looking, modern, and small enough for my basement apartment. It was easy to put together: screw on the legs then screw the back of the chair to the seat. Because it's a DIY product, the quality isn't great, but you do get what you pay for.
The chair is a bit stiff but definitely sturdy. I had hoped for something a little less firm but it is comfortable. Easy to put together.
This is a nice little chair. I ordered the blue color but found the fabric to have a very slight tweed to it in the green range. Ultimately, that worked well and I think the slight texture to the fabric will keep it looking good for years. It was a bit smaller than I expected so I would recommend looking at the dimensions carefully before ordering. That said, it turned out to be a perfect size for the corner of my guest room and I was quite impressed with the ease of assembly and the final sturdiness.
These chairs are very small definitely not for heavy use, more for accent.
This chair looks like a much higher quality in the photos. The chairs are so small that they look like they are meant for a child's room. We ordered for a small lobby and had to find something else b/c they looked comical. If you need a VERY small chair then it will be fine.

Bobsmyuncle -another ? bar finish - please......
Remember me? I have the red oak bar I am finishing with the Waterlox & you so kindly gave me step by step instructions........I have another question. (I have done a search and tried to google for the answer- too many opinions - sorry to bother you again).
I need to fill the small nail holes in both the Bar rail & the fluted Trim. What do I use & when. I have followed your instructions to the letter with fantastic results, including the Red Badger Brush. The scariest part is the next sanding!!! I do not want to screw this project up now :)
I am at Step 4:"* Coat 4: Lightly sand with P400 sandpaper. All you want to do is remove the defects like dust nibs and create a toothy surface. Wipe off dust with a mineral spirits dampened clean rag. Thin varnish 10% or so with mineral spirits. Pull out your best brush. Carefully brush on a light coat. When you finish a section, "tip off." Leave the area while the varnish dries. "
An update on the color match of the odd fluted trim pcs- I read as much as I could and decided to mix a little Zar Light Cherry Stain in a small amt of the Waterlox until I got the pieces to blend with the rest of the body of the bar, which was a furniture grade red oak finishing with only the Waterlox. I cannot tell which pcs have the stain added & which are straight Waterlox. I Am Proud!! So far, I think you would grade this project an A-.
It is taking a long time - rainy, cold weather - so this wkend I set up the dehumidifer & it is helping alot.
Sorry to be so long.........I just wanted to also let you know what a good student I have been, and your efforts to educate me and help me have paid off - for me anyway - I cannot Thank You enough!!!
As far as the nail holes go, I'd suggest that you wait until you are done varnishing, then give the varnish at least a week to fully cure. Get a couple of compatible colors of wax filler crayons. If you add two colors smeared together, it is generally less obvious than a round spot of one color. Fill the holes, then buff out with a piece of grocery bag paper. You can get the wax crayon fillers about anywhere.
Items you'll find about any hardware store.
More colors (96) than you'll know what to do with
If you want a smooth as a baby's butt finish, let the finish cure for a couple of weeks, get some 0000 steel wool and furniture wax and rub out the imperfections, then buff off the wax with a soft cloth.
I was in a ~$1.5Million house today (on the golf course). Still being finished up. The woodwork was awful. Doors were all splotchy, trim work showed where every nail hole was (filled with putty that wasn't high enough), then painted brown. Fireplace surround had planer marks jumping out because of the stain. I'm glad your job worked out well for you!
Here is a link that might be useful: Items available at cabinet suppliers & specialty shops
Thank You !!! I have learned so much - I am a perfectionist - my eye immediately goes to the flaws - It is amazing how shoddy the finish work here is in very expensive homes. That is why I have learned how to finish drywall - since we have been renovating for the last 7+ years, I have found my learned / developed skills using the right tools is far better than some of the drywall "Pros" we paid. Same goes for the trim work. Takes me longer (alot) but in the end it looks better and professional. I watched some really good guys, asked questions & bought the right tools.
Thank you again. I have one more coat to put on of the Waterlox- it is taking each coat longer to dry - the humidity isn't helping - I think it is dry & the next morning it feels tacky. It is looking so good..........

Another ARM Video Decoder Being Reverse-Engineered
Published on 04 September 2012 09:45 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
While the binary wall has yet to fall with ARM SoC vendors in terms of providing open-source drivers -- namely when it comes to the graphics / multimedia blocks -- there's many active community projects for reverse-engineering these ARM blocks to provide open-source support. Here's another project that's being done for cracking the video decoder on a popular Chinese ARM SoC.
Many of the open-source ARM graphics initiatives (either officially supported by the vendor or the community) are documented in
this Phoronix article
while yesterday I exclusively detailed another project that's
cracking Broadcom's VideoCore with an open-source driver
. Another less heard of initiative is reverse-engineering and writing an open-source library to support the video decoder on the Allwinner A10.
The Allwinner A10 is the popular SoC out of China that's a 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A8 with Mali-400 graphics processor. It's nothing special from a hardware perspective compared to modern ARM SoCs, but what makes it attractive is the price-point, which is just a few dollars (circa $7 per SoC). Due to the low price point, the Allwinner A10 has become popular for low-end tablets, namely those out of the Asian vendors.
The Allwinner SoC is capable of HD video decoding with all major formats like H.264 MVC, VC-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4. There's also H.264 encoding support.
Allwinner implements the video decoding support for Linux within a closed
library, but that's being reverse-engineered and re-implemented as open-source. This library is used for managing memory allocated to the "cedarx" video decoder on the A10, which is a step towards reverse-engineering the entire decoder chip.
The project re-implementing this library as open-source is called open_cdxalloc and is being
hosted on GitHub
. The project began in mid-June per
the original announcement
. Unfortunately though there hasn't been many commits to this open-source library as of late.

Wall Following RC car using 16F887
- Login or register to post comments
- by kenjones1935

March 21, 2010
Here are two videos of my hobby level radio control car following the wall around a room. This car uses channel 3 of the radio control system to toggle between RC control and autonomous control.
The idea is to hook middle school kids (USA grades 7th and 8th. ages 11 - 14) into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. This offers the speed and excitement of RC car
racing, the trial and error of RC race car design plus the clear thinking and discipline of computer programming.
THE COMPETITION: A car race.
Build an oval race track on a polished wooden gymnasium floor defined on the inside by
cardboard boxes large enough to echo back a SRF05 sonar proximity detector's signal.
The race is to lap the track, say, six times; three by radio control; three by autonomous control. Either time trials or multiple cars at the same time. If the race has multiple cars on the track at one time, some more work must be done on the car to avoid collision.
I will design and build a PIC kit that attaches to almost any RC car that has Electronic Speed Control (ESC) driving the wheels and a servo driven steering mechanism. It will use the car's 7+ volt battery, knocked down to 5 volts by the ESC. There must be a third channel on the RC system to tell the car who is boss.
I need to borrow, steal, or design a microcontroller programming language that forces the students to think about the signals from the front and side facing sonars and create the corresponding commands to the wheels and the steering. Presently the 16F887 compiler runs on a WINDOWS PC and communicates to the car via special hardware connected to the USB port. (Available from MicroChip Inc.)
----------The post below seems to be way ahead of me----------

I made some similar robots a while ago. I'll try and post a video of them. They are designed to race around a track, in other words they are doing wall avoiding so when you make a track with walls on the inside and outside they will go around and around. I made the robots myself, they are differential steering with a body made from laser cut polycarbonate. I used the sharp IR rangefinders for navigation and have four on each robot, two forward facing and two side facing. They also have four bumber switches, one pair in front and the other at the rear.

What do you all think?
I think your problem is seeing what happens when
What I would do:
First; Make a version that goes so much slower; Drive slower, and make things work, then gradually speed up.
Second; when problems arise only at higher speeds:
Add a speaker, or a bright LED to the robot.
When the turning should happen, make this beep or flash.
Film it.
Analyze; The LED or Sound will make it possible to see excactly at what distance to the wall the action is taken, and you can make slow motion and watch them. Question will be; At the speed & weight it has, is it even physical possible to turn and avoid?
PS: If it turns out that
PS: If it turns out that everything works at lower speeds, but the robot seams to react later at higher speeds, it may be because your sampling frequency is too low.
If you only measure distance at say 2 times pr second, it does not matter at low speeds where you have only moved 20 cm between, but is a problem at higher speeds, where it could be 2 meters.
Hi Ken, good to hear you
Hi Ken, good to hear you have been making progress. Would you be able to post your PICASIC code for us to have a poke at?
Sorry Old Man!
Sorry Old Man! But hooking kids on drugs is safer than this................
There are several free
There are several free PICBASIC IDEs around too, GCBASIC, MicroCode, Proton, etc.
There are some nice IR reflectance units such as the QRD1114 that only require 2 extra resistors, but if you want a completed unit similar to the SRF05 you could go for something like this or this from SparkFun. The first sensor board is a nice simple digital output board (low signal = high reflectance), while the second sensor requires you to set the signal line to output a high signal to charge the onboard capacitor, and then you set the line back to an input and measure the time it takes for the signal to go low again (shorter time = higher reflectance). The first sensor is naturally easier to use, while the second allows for an analog value to be determined for the reflectance, so you can actually calibrate the sensitivity.

Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
The new 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' trailer will hit the web tomorrow, but an earlier look, via the first clip and new TV spot, has arrived today, and things are looking pretty intense for humanity in this terrifying new world. But then again, we kind of deserve it, right?
James Cameron has applied his fondness for 3D technology to the world of 'Avatar,' and he even gave his blockbuster 'Titanic' a 3D conversion for a theatrical rerelease. But what about some of his other films -- specifically, the 'Terminator' movies? According to Cameron, a 3D version of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' is a possibility.
Just like 'Gilligan's Island,' fellow Nick at Nite rerun classic 'Green Acres' is also getting the big screen adaptation treatment ... as well as a Broadway production, courtesy of director Richard L. Bare, a frequent director on the original series and a man who obviously didn't take Elsa's advice in 'Frozen.'
'Jurassic Park 4' (now officially titled 'Jurassic World') only just began filming in Hawaii, but life finds a way and Universal is already planning sequels to the upcoming, uh, sequel. (Please read previous sentence in your best Jeff Goldblum voice.) The studio has some pretty big plans for the upcoming film, and those plans involve setting the stage to continue the franchise, if they can.
While we'll likely never see Spider-Man fighting side by side on the big screen with the Avengers, you can see all your favorite heroes teaming up in a different arena with Marvel Universe LIVE!, a new traveling production set to hit the road this summer. And now you can go behind the scenes with this new featurette on the upcoming production, which unites all your favorite Marvel heroes and villains for one spectacular show.
As the trailer says, mankind isn't ready for Scarlett Johansson's Lucy, and judging by the powers she's tossing around (both with her brain and her body) in Luc Besson's latest sci-fi action thriller, that's pretty accurate. Johansson steps out of the Marvel movie universe and finally gets some superpowers of her own, and she does not look like a lady you want to mess with.
A few weeks ago Marvel released a teaser poster for 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and now thanks to the glorious minds of the Internet, we have some hi-res images of the cast taken from the poster so you can get up close and personal with the whole crew -- because it's good to have hobbies, no?
In case you didn't know by now (or if your mom didn't make it a point to tell you, since it's like, one of the only facts she probably prides herself on knowing about actors), Hugh Jackman has some musical theater chops. Oh, you didn't see 'Les Miserables'? The 'Wolverine' and 'X-Men' star recently took that talent to BBC Radio 1 to perform a cover of the 'Les Mis' song "Who Am I," repurposed with lyrics about his on-screen alter ego, Wolverine, and the results are, well, okay, they're pretty charming.
Superhero movies doing cross-promotional ads with fast food companies is nothing new and neither is Hardee's commercials that sexualize women and hamburgers, but this new ad featuring Mystique (or a stand-in, anyway) to promote both 'X-Men: Days of Future of Past' and Hardee's new Western X-Tra Bacon burger is so offensively awful, even by dumb commercial standards, it'll make you wish Professor X could wipe your brain after.
'Scarface' is being remade yet again. The film, which began life on the screen in 1932 as a classic gangster story was remade by Brian De Palma in the 1983 film starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who goes from street dealer to drug kingpin. Universal, which already has a script for the contemporary remake, has found a director: Pablo Larrain, a Chilean director, most recently known for his critically acclaimed 2012 film, 'No.'

…we keep it wrapped.
(Picture taken at Orange Alley at 25th Street in San Francisco on March 12th, 2015)
All the wide happy and the scattering crowds,
these are which I watch over.
For I am police, I am law.
"Are you a detective?"
I honestly didn't understand the question.
Like most of the graffiti art I see in San Francisco, I had no idea what the hell this blue cartoon bear with the rainbow-spitting belly button face was supposed to mean. But it was colorful and had a whimsical quality I liked, and to me those are good enough reasons to photograph just about anything…
(Picture taken on Valencia Street in San Francisco on January 3rd, 2015. The artwork is by Sirron Norris.)
I once tripped through these lands like a god,
like the pure embodiment of all the liquor
the Allies ever drank in Tokyo.
It is quiet here now,
and the Americans are gone,
but I know these streets.
My wife and I needed a break from where we live in Brisbane, California, so we took a drive down the California coast to Pismo Beach for a weekend vacation. We found modestly-priced hotel on Shell Beach Road, and stayed for two nights.
It was nice. We liked it…
The Ark of the Covenant, well,
I use it as a coffee table now.
It holds many remotes with which
I flip channels to see the world.
The world doesn't bother me,
what people say about how it used to be does.
A straight arc is a line.
These Fritos in my pockets,
I've had them since 1977.
…in a hotel room in San Juan Bautista, California.
My wife and I had been having a lovely time until then.
I am fortunate she returned from the hotel pool in time
to switch off the set.
If she hadn't, I might have ended up on Fox News.
(Picture taken in San Juan Bautista, California on June 22nd, 2013)
The tiny neighborhood bars and watering holes distributed throughout Tokyo are probably as numerous as the stars on a clear night in the Himalayas. Perversely, they're often the kinds of places that are easy to miss, at least in the daytime, even if a given joint is open when one happens to walk by.
But sometimes one can pass a Tokyo bar, even a run-down looking place, and feel strangely drawn to it somehow. Something about it catches the eye, perhaps the way it's painted or how the bar's name is displayed on the street. And suddenly one finds oneself walking into the joint even if one wasn't originally in the mood for a drink.
Freedom in Nakano 5-chome is that kind of place, an unassuming little neighborhood bar that doesn't look like much on the outside, but had an allure that made going inside an unexpected but rich Tokyo experience…
My town of Brisbane, California is a suburb of San Francisco, butting right up against The City's southern border. And Brisbane has a lagoon, and Caltrain railroad tracks, which are nice to have…
(Picture taken at sunrise in Brisbane, California on October 22nd, 2014)
"Pretty cool, huh?"
I looked at the owner, driver, whatever, with a look that probably betrayed my massive disdain for his ride and what he just said.
"The girls love it," he proclaimed.
"Not any girls I know over the age of 10," I thought to myself as I snapped one more picture and walked toward my car.
Ye fucking gods, at least that idiot Springsteen sang about a Cadillac…
(Picture taken at Midtown Market, Brisbane, California on October 2nd, 2014)
Since my last post on the subject of Facebook (see Goodbye, Facebook below), I've paid next to no attention to it at all, reminded of its existence only by the slow feed of occasional email notifications, an onslaught that slowed to a trickle once I stopped feeding the best. Once in a while I'd click a guilty click to see a picture, perhaps of a friend's newborn. Other times I was curious to see if the powers that be at Facebook ever bothered to get back to me on my request to cancel my Ars Skeptica page.
A quick bit about that, as an aside:
For whatever reason, of the handful of silly pages I created, Facebook's magical data gremlins must have realized that Ars Skeptica was different. The others it let me delete without an issue. The Ars Skeptica page deletion provided a prompt that they would get back to me in two weeks time (many weeks ago now) to confirm that I do indeed mean to delete said page. Continue reading

For those of you who enjoy my work on these pages, I was absent for nearly four weeks due to a death in my family. My apologies. I won't let it happen again. Death, I mean. I have recently begun diverting all my beer money towards developing an immortality serum in my basement lab. I also have a new photography project in development. Click here to have a preliminary look.
Do you like soy sauce, tofu, miso soup? The humble soybean gives us so many edible wonders that you probably didn't know it is also used to make what Westerners consider to be one of the foulest foods ever to come from Japan.
(Nattō from my grocer's freezer about to get mixed with raw egg. This is one of my favorite toppings for rice.)
As America becomes more divisive and divided on issues like gay marriage, gun control, and religious influence in schools and government, it's sometimes good for one's mental health to consider the things we Americans in common still seek out and enjoy. To me, nothing still provides the level, apolitical (mostly), highly-caloric, and deep-fried playing field for Americans to gather into one more-or-less harmonious population quite like the good old county fair.
With the summer solstice mere days away, and outdoor temperatures and certain global tensions on the rise, Scholars and Rogues offers this pictorial tour of the recently-ended San Mateo County Fair for your amusement, distraction, and enjoyment. Consider it a sort of mental vacation from the grind behind whatever desk you're riding, or as an inspiration for the amorphous, as-yet unplanned summer vacation you're obliged to take this year with the spouse and kids. So, as they say on the midway, "step right up, ladies and gentlemen…."
It was just a spring day in a rundown part of Tokyo in the week before Golden Week in 2012…
In Tokyo it is often hard to tell if someone is homeless, or merely down on both their luck and available resources.

chimera parentage
does the master database have the parentage of chimeras?
I broke a leaf off moon child chimera, and was wondering who da mamma was ... cuz I could not resist planting the leaf to sees what I gets.
damn, this is fun again.
Chimeras are rogue off-spring of other types of blooms, usually fantasies which tend to be unstable. (You know drinking and that sort of thing). If you start a chimera from a leaf, I understand you will get a bloom of the dominant color of the chimera. I saw a leaf-grown plant from 'Yukako' and it was a blue blossom. And a beautiful plant.
And, yes, it is fun. You never know what you are going to get- frustration, disappointment, not the variety you bought, insects, mites, dirty nails with just the occasional victory to lure you into more of the same....
Thanks for looking!
I: how's DH? On the mend, we hopes. Make him walk!
L. Oh no, another picture (yukako) to find and salivate over. I didn't think blue was possible. It has to be a purple ... ha!
Gonna have to get FC. Is it mac compatible?
In the wacky world of Horticulture, light purple is called blue. Don't ask me why, I've never been able to find an answer. We Hort nerds like to blame the botanists....
Don't know about the mac but there is a little bell ringing in my head that says it is not FC compatible. I may have read it somewhere...or just I'm just making stuff up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Yukako
that's crazy talk ...
FC compatible ... who in their right mind ...
Yup, hear it all the time. Then they go and change the operating system (linex based) and all your old database programs don't work no more.
Best you can do is make a giant PDF file, and then hope you can cut and paste
Think of all the stuff you have stored on plants, heights, weights, progeny, those that go MIA. sports
And that's just me keeping track of things.
But, again I digress.
Not mac compatible?
that's crazy talk
which is why I'm nuts.
wanna play frisbie with some of my old floppy disks?
TGIF, by the way...
DH is getting out of the hospital tomorrow - now part of his aorta is made of Teflon.
Yukako is absolutely unique. It is a very stable chimera, it doesn't turn blue.Plus it is an easy hardy plant. If you root the suckers - you get true Yukako, another chimera with green stripes on white and another chimera with dark blue stripes on light blue petals - you really need to look - otherwise it not evident.
More of it - it is a chimera - that sometimes gives you a chimera from the leaf.
It holds the flowers for long long time - lots of AVs with green flowers do - and IMHO - even if you grow small amount of AVs - it should be one of them.

Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 35
Violin with Piano Reduction
Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 35 (Violin with Piano Reduction). Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). For Piano, Violin. Violin. Henle Music Folios. Pages: Score: VIII and 60 * Vl Part = 31. Softcover. 140 pages. G. Henle #HN685. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480685).
Eduard Hanslick, a much feared critic in his time, was not very complimentary following its première: the violin was no longer being played but rather pulled about, torn asunder, beaten black and blue. Yet he was not able to stop the triumphal march of Tchaikovsky's only violin concerto. Its incredible technical demands have meant that it is a true test of virtuosity. Its effectivenessis, however, mainly due to its great expressiveness – are there any violinists who do not love the lyrical melancholic Canzonetta? – and due to its Slavic temperament. At last and indeed for the first time this milestone in the violinist's repertoire is now available in a text-critical edition, which is true to its original form.

Ron Paul - Who Else Is on Obama's Secret Kill List 10-10-11Submitted by ACinMA on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 10:01
A Dangerous Precedent
According to the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, Americans are never to be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Constitution is not some aspirational statement of values, allowing exceptions when convenient, but rather, it is the law of the land. It is the basis of our Republic and our principal bulwark against tyranny.

As Long As Someone BESIDES Ron Paul Wins A Straw PollSubmitted by 1lIl1 on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 09:14
I was watching the all amazing FAIR AND BALANCED fox news and it doesn't shock me AT ALL anymore as to how biased this so called news network really is.
I love how they state that the msm isn't allowing Ron Paul to SURGE from his straw poll wins unlike cain and the others.
Does fox really think that WE believe that THEY are not the msm? Does fox really think that THEY are actually fair and balanced or are ALL the reporters that crooked as human beings and will do or say ANYTHING just to collect a paycheck?

Values Voter Straw Poll Organizers Suggest A fIx In Ron Paul's WinSubmitted by shifty1032231 on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 02:33
The latest unseen attempt is to suggest, falsely, that Ron Paul and his campaign purposefully rigged the results of straw poll to make him the winner. We must expose this fraud accusation as a attempt to discredit the campaign and the congressman himself.
By Lindsey Boerma
Rep. Ron Paul scored a decisive victory Saturday in a mock presidential election at the Values Voter Summit, trouncing fellow Texan, Gov. Rick Perry, but an organizer of the straw poll suggested ballot-stuffing may have skewed the results.
Please use this comparison sheet for tabling and canvassingSubmitted by thomasaconway on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 01:43

Please friend either of the Facebook pages and download the comparison sheet. It was used at the Value Voters Summit in DC and a lot of people said it had a high impact. OR you can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and i'll reply with the document.
Carol Paul for First Lady campaign = Womens' VoteSubmitted by A_G1RL on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 22:50
Imagine seeing this commercial: a shot of Carol Paul... she says something along the lines of "my highschool sweetheart and now husband of 54 years, Ron Paul, has delivered over 4000 babies as a OBGYN doctor. Now he wants to deliver our boys home from the wars overseas. Will you please help him (camera pans back to show him sitting next to her) by voting Ron Paul for President in the Republican Primaries, and general election?"
He says "I'm Ron Paul and I approve this message" and with a big grin :)

Ron Paul's Values Voters Summit Speech (October 8, 2011)Submitted by 2privatus on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 21:20
This is a great speech...
Its greatness transcends creed. It's great because this makes sense regardless of what your religious orientation is -- or isn't.
Its great because its something Ron Paul really believes -- It hasn't been "focused-grouped" or "psy-oped".
And yet the Fox News' reporter in the following video clip seemed perplexed that such a "live and let live" message could be tolerated, much less accepted....

Ron Paul Predicts Assassination of American CitizenSubmitted by Mr. Spock on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 19:18
There is a video on youtube of Ron Paul predicting the US government assassinating an American citizen without due process. Unfortunately, it ends with a picture of Dr. Paul with the F word on it, which I find offensive.
Here is a clean version if you want to pass it on to people without offending them.
Because in every straw poll this year, the president has been the loser.Submitted by northstar on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 18:58
SALT LAKE CITY, October 9, 2011—Ron Paul is certainly amped. Another straw poll victory for him. Were it not for Michele Bachmann's brief flirtation with top-tier status, he would now have three major straw poll wins on his resume this year.
Paul has an extraordinarily disciplined and effective organization nationwide, ready to deploy at these major events. His win reflects as much.

Washington Times: Ron Paul puts America firstSubmitted by complexphenom on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 17:46
Many, including fellow presidential candidate Rick Santorum, have labeled Ron Paul as part of the 'blame America first' crowd in this election cycle. They are angered by his willingness to point out flaws in our country's foreign policy and smear him as an isolationist who wants America to hide from the rest of the world. Contrary to establishment Republican rhetoric, Paul's policy is not "blame America first," but "put America first."

Roots of Racing: Technology meets ski racingMarch 16, 2015 —
This winter, Vail and Beaver Creek hosted the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships for a third time. The Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum has opened its ski racing archives to tell stories that connect the dots between today's spectacular made-for-TV competitions and their humble beginnings. This series will feature many of the significant milestones, instigated here in Colorado by individuals now enshrined in the Hall of Fame, which helped shape skiing and international racing. When you are in Vail Village, stop by the museum for a trip through skiing's past. For more information, go to www.skimuseum.net.
The World Pro Skiing Tour was instrumental in popularizing the sport of Alpine Skiing in the 1970s and '80s. Headed by ski aficionado Bob Beattie, WPS was designed to attract a fan following. It featured an easy to understand head-to-head race format, a national telecast, and colorful characters that enraptured America. Beattie was more than successful, and alpine skiing prospered. As America's eye focused more and more on the popular winter pastime, it also brought increased investment and invention. Skis changed, safety increased and even on-course technology improved. American ingenuity was released on the hill.Learn more »

Travis Coggin was elected president, succeeding Dan Reynolds. Patti Liermann was elected vice president, taking over for Michael Holton. Miki Barros remains secretary and Sara Fahrney retained the position of treasurer.
Dan Reynolds, partner at RKV Law, was the first president and founder of the Vail Valley Young Professionals Association.
"There's such a talented group of young professionals spread across this valley," Reynolds said. "We needed an organization to bring everyone together, not only for networking and development, but also to encourage this diverse crowd to establish roots in our community."
With more than 200 members, the young professionals group has monthly events, including speaker panels, local business tours, volunteer opportunities, networking happy hours and a year-end holiday party.
"This community is changing dramatically and we need to equip our young professionals to be the future of the valley," Coggin said. "Eagle County has gone from a couple thousand people to over 52,000 in the past 50 years, and that includes spreading out and dividing our workforce. (The association) tries to reconnect and localize our people."
Coggin went to Vail Mountain School before attending the University of Colorado. After a few years as a Vail ski patroller, Coggin attended the university's Leeds School of Business. He is currently the director of operations for Ascent Sotheby's International Realty in Vail.
The next event for association members is team participation in Pink Vail on March 21. Pink Vail is the world's biggest ski day to conquer cancer, benefiting Shaw Regional Cancer Center in Edwards.
Founded in 2013, the Vail Valley Young Professionals Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting a young, dynamic, professional community in the Vail Valley by providing opportunities in business development, networking, community awareness and community involvement. Annual membership is $65. Learn more at www.vvypa.com.

Middle School PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical fitness is not something that can be acquired over a short period of time. It takes time to develop a good level of physical fitness, which includes cardiovascular strength, muscle strength, flexibility, and muscle endurance. As a Physical Education teacher, I am aware that there are varying levels of physical fitness amongst our students. A program that is inclined to fit the needs of all students, aimed at improving their fitness levels is the goal of the physical education program. EXPECTATIONS: 1. Every student MUST have a combination lock for his or her own locker. 2. Dress Code a. Athletic shorts or sweatpants. b. T-shirt or sweatshirt (usually not one worn for the school day). c. NO jewelry or necklaces. d. Athletic shoes and socks. NO SANDALS! 3. Parent/Doctor Excuse: a. To be excused from physical education class a student must have a note from a parent, guardian or doctor on the day to be excused. A doctor's note is required for four or more days. Excuse notes should be kept to a minimum. Not all excuses will warrant a student's complete non-participation. 4. Students will be allowed 8 minutes after the last bell to be dressed and in their assigned spots. Each student will be given at least 10 minutes at the end of class to shower and dress. 5. Student misconduct at any time will not be tolerated. 6. NO food or drink is allowed in the gym. 7. NO IPODS or cell phones are to be used during class. GRADING: 1. Students will be given 5 points for a daily grade: 2 points for dressing out, 2 points for participation, and 1 point for behavior. 2. Students will also be graded on skills tests throughout the year, not based on performance, but on technique and effort of the activity. 3.

Inappropriate behavior in locker room = up to -5 points. 2. Not dressing out = -2 points. 3. Behavior, attitude, participation and effort = up to -5 points. 4. Food, pop, candy or gum = -1 point. 5.

MARTIN BEFORE SEPTEMBER 3rd.

Definitely not winter yet ...
Forecasts of a dire freeze tonight prompted me to catch some of the last summer flowers.
The new rockery is developing nicely even if some of the plants are still summer bedding space fillers.
The Fuschias usually flower well past the first frost.
Here's some in a different part of the garden.
No, its not a late Himalayan Lily, but Nicotiana sylvestris.
These Pelargoniums against a warm wall also flower past the first frosts. The red ones aren't quite so hardy.
This is a Marigold I grew from seed. It isn't the same hybrid as the rest of them but has proved to be very large and hardy.
We don't usually get a series of freezes early in the season combined with dry weather here, so no, things don't tend to go black. They tend to just go mushy and collapse! Might be different this year though, my five-day forecast is showing temps below freezing every night and no significant rain.
Any frost damage I have experienced in the past looked the same as yours. However, it was at another location. We are only about 12 miles away now. I am waiting to see what my "new" yard will look like after the first frost. There are many plants that I have never had before, so this is my learning year.
Oh, how I long for the days (in California) when I'd fret because the baby's tears and the helichrysum got a little blackened! Last Wednesday night our low (in Iowa) was 3 degrees (F).
Shrubs n Bulbs: What's the tidy mound of what looks like rosettes in the center of your first shot? A sempervivum?
Blackened Baby's Tears? I wish! I'm starting to think I have some form of turbo-charged Baby's Tears, it has never shown any kind of stress in all the years that it has tried to take over my paths and lawn. I just checked and after a string of nights around 25F it looks good enough for the show table :(
The rosette plant is Saxifraga 'Knapton Pink'. Nice display in spring. There are about half a dozen different Saxifrages in this bed, but they all seem to have avoided the camera :(

Road to Rome » Review by DWReese03
I had one of the best experiences of my life on the Road to Rome trip. I wish I had actually booked the few days longer segments through Athens as I was sad to leave so soon. I made amazing new friends from all around the world. The sites were beautiful and it was a jammed packed whirlwind 2 weeks. I will never forget it.
