Be kind to your Levi's® garments to ensure many happy years of use. These guidelines explain the dos & don'ts of cleaning & treating various fabrics.
It's best to wash denim as little as possible, not only to prevent shrinking & fading, but to conserve water, which lessens negative impact on the environment. When they are ready for a freshening up, turn jeans inside-out & wash separately in cold water and line dry, if possible.GIVE UP ON GIMMICKS
Some denim enthusiasts swear that washing dark jeans with a cupful of coffee with keep their color truer, longer. Allow us to instate a no-joe policy! The truth is that even the inkiest of denim garments are subject to fading if machine-washed & dried. Instead, hand-wash them, inside-out in a tubful of cool water. Soak for up to 30 minutes with mild detergent, gently swirl to loosen any set-in sediment & line dry.
It may seem like a good idea to have embellished or coated denim professionally dry-cleaned, but this can actually damage fragile details like embroidery & over time, wear away waxy finishes. Instead, soak your specialty denim in cold water for up to 10 minutes without detergent, then lay flat until dry.AVOID COLOR BLUNDERS
To revitalize the color of an old pair of jeans, we've heard you should wash them with a brand new pair to encourage dye transfer. Bad idea? Well, it depends. There is no harm in two very dark jeans going in for a soak together, but there's no telling what sort of tint you'll wind up with when dealing with lighter & more vibrant colors. Good rule of thumb: if the method seems dubious, leave your denim out of it.

My fiancé and I chose my engagement ring from James Allen and were beyond thrilled so coming back for my wedding band was a no brainer. This wedding band is beautiful, sparkly and dynamic. The pave diamonds shimmer in the light and the filigree on the side of the band just adds to the brilliance. My engagement ring is the Rippling Wave Halo setting and with this wedding band it makes a beautiful set. We are so happy with James Allen!

James allen`s beautiful website made it easy for me to compare and contrast pave rings. It was a tough choice but I finally ended up picking this one and I couldn`t be more thrilled! Part of why I chose this one is the engraved surface. The engraved lines add movement and motion to the ring and are a little unexpected. The row of diamonds glisten and sparkle like you wouldn`t believe. My hsuband is very happy too. He throught I would want a diamond solitaire ring because they`re so popular, but I live pave better because I like multiple diamonds. When I`m at the comptuer at work for example and typing, I can always see diamonds when my fingers are turned to a certain direction and they`re always sparkling in the light! I`m very proud of my ring!

Gorgeous pave set diamond wedding ring. I had to find a ring under $2,000, but I did not want something too plain. This is perfect. The diamonds are small but still dazzle! I like the fact that there are designs (patterns) along the entire ring-it makes it less boring. Very comfortable as well. Highly recommend the ring. Very comfortable as well.

Newlands and not the Cape Town Stadium will host the European Cup match between Saracens and Biarritz.
Ticket sales have already started for the match on 14th January, with the designated venue being the modern 60 000-setter stadium in Greenpoint, Cape Town. The fixture was widely expected to sell out, with locals and foreign visitors (it is the height of the tourist season) expected to file in for the unique event.
However, the Western Province Rugby Union have intervened and successfully challenged for the hosting rights. This continues an alarming drought of high-profile sporting fixtures for the stadium, which is increasingly becoming a serious financial burden for the city.
WP pointed to the South African Rugby Union constitution's ruling that the the final decision regarding the match venue lies in the hands of the host union. WP and not Saracens are deemed to be the hosts.
In a statement WP said: ' After a recent meeting by the Western Province Rugby Football Union Executive Committee, the request by Saracens to host the match at Cape Town Stadium was considered. However, the Executive Committee decided that the home of rugby, Newlands, would stage this historic match.
'According to the South African Rugby Union Constitution the final decision regarding the match venue lies in the hands of the host union. The WPRFU Executive Committee unanimously agreed that Newlands is currently the home of rugby in the Western Province, and will be treated as such for the foreseeable future. The Western Province Rugby Football Union embraces such a historic match which will form part of the busy 2012 Super Rugby and Test Match schedule at Newlands.'
Meanwhile Saracens issued a carefully worded statement that read: 'Saracens has noted today's statement by the Western Province Rugby Union. We are delighted that two world class venues in Cape Town both want to stage the historic Heineken Cup match between Saracens and Biarritz on Saturday January 14. We will now continue detailed discussions with all parties.'
WP also moved to end the ongoing speculation about a potential move to the Cape Town Stadium. 'There is currently no intention to move WP Rugby to the Cape Town stadium,' they said.

Just discovered this forum today and like it. Looking for some good advice on my strategy and position. Feel free to comment anyway you want. No offence to anyone.
Age: 44. IT professional, Wife is homemaker. Kids 8, 6 and 4. NY state
165K base. 40K Bonus. Take home probably 7.5K/month after all deductions as below excluding bonus.
Max out 401k at 17K. HSA 5K per year.
After all these years (15 years in US) and probably living little bit expensively for the past 3 years, Now trying to save 2K/month(and with bonus) total potential of 50K total cash saving in a year.
Don't own. Rent 2600/month... ( Didn't buy but for reasons I will document later in the post)
Job is good but worry about future being in IT... amid cost cuts in corporations. Will get ~90K ( befor tax) package if lose job.
Zero commitment, loans
Very conservative investor. Dont want too much commitment/loans.
US portfolio.
401K balance 155K. Retirement acct 28K. HSA balance 12K.
Cash 33K
stocks 4K
INDIA.... Major metropolitan city.
1. House and asset worth 500K ( inherited)
2. Plot worth 500K ( Funded through a 50K investment in 2003)
3. CASH 200K in FD. India inflation is high and Indian rupee is under pressure. All these is savings from my income.
City 2
4. Plot worth 180K ( inherited)
5. RE plot worth 200K ( original investment of 50K in 2006. By cancelling buying a house in US in 2006... Got lucky there)
City 3
6. Agricultural land worth 50K
7. Plot worth 25K
So looks like around total liquid CASH of around 250K. 180K retirement related asset and 1.4M of Real estate which it TOTALLY in India.... with ZERO RE portfolio in US. What concerns me is the imbalance in portfolio and asset risk in India. A country with political instability to some extent, troublesome neighbors, inflation, infrastructure and populations issues.. I might go back to India at some stage though but US is what my primary country is and what I love.
So couple of questions..
Do I have too much in foreign asset ??.
Am I heavily imbalanced in RE ??.
Is my strategy until now of not buying a house is bad ?.
Should I buy a house in US now to make a meaningful portfolio, ??
Am I wasting too much in rent ? If I do buy, I wont buy anything higher than 550K..
I do want to retire below 55 and sometimes think, I cant take all the corporate stress but kids are still young.. So this is not a typical post and feel free to comment on anything and on any advice. Im open to all.

Code Coverage by Integration Tests
To get the code coverage by integration tests on your project, you should simply follow the 5 steps below:
- Attach and configure a JaCoCo agent to the JVM which you will run your integration tests with. To do so, have a look at the detailed JaCoCo documentation to attach the agent: via a command line, using the JaCoCo Maven plugin or using the JaCoCo Ant task.
- Run your automated or manual integration tests within this JVM. At the end of the execution, JaCoCo will dump the code coverage report in the destination you have set in step 1.
- Configure Sonar to reuse this JaCoCo report. In your project properties file (or directly in the command line), add the sonar.jacoco.itReportPath property with the path to the JaCoCo IT coverage report as a value.
- Run an analysis to feed Sonar with the information provided by the JaCoCo report.
- Browse the results on the Sonar web interface. On project dashboard, you can add the Integration test coverage widget:
As usual, drilldown is available from this widget. At file level, you can access detailed code coverage by integration tests on the Coverage tab:
Note: You can still use Clover, Cobertura or Emma to assess code coverage by unit tests together with JaCoCo for integration tests.
Sample projects are available on github that can be browsed or downloaded: /projects/code-coverage/it.
Combining Code Coverage by Unit and Integration Tests
Since Sonar 3.3, Sonar automatically computes the overall code coverage (combination of code coverage by unit tests and integration tests). This feature is enable when both code coverage reports are generated with JaCoCo.
Sample projects are available on github that can be browsed or downloaded:
- /projects/code-coverage/combined ut-it/combined-ut-it-sonar-runner-jacoco
- /projects/code-coverage/combined ut-it/combined-ut-it-multimodule-maven-jacoco

The essential polyester fleece pant with a Snap-T® style back pocket, an elasticized waistband with a drawcord, and spandex binding at the cuffs for warmth.
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.
Below are the suppliers that impact the Patagonia Men's Synchilla® Snap-T® Pants

The Heart Failure Prevention and Treatment Program
The Heart Failure Prevention and Treatment Program offers a support group to heart failure patients and their families in our community. Come and meet people who have had similar experiences. Gain emotional and social support from patients and families who face the challenge of heart disease.
Heart failure — a progressive condition in which the heart muscle weakens and gradually loses its ability to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs — is frighteningly common, but under recognized. Often patients and their families and loved ones feel alone in their struggles, yet heart failure affects nearly 5 million Americans. Many people live happy and productive lives beyond heart disease. Join us in sharing stories and learning from each other's experiences and coping strategies.
As a support group, we will be occasionally inviting experts to talk briefly about subjects that the members would like to discuss, but most of the group time will be spent in open, supportive discussion among members.
The support group will be held every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. until noon at Intermountain Medical Center in the Pepperwood conference room, LL1 Sorenson Lung & Heart building across from the Heart Failure Prevention Clinic. Ask staff for directions.

Adriaan Strauss says Johan Goosen appears never to feel pressure and says this quality has accounted for his staggering rise.
Two years ago Goosen was still a schoolboy player. A prodigiously gifted one, admittedly, but a schoolboy nonetheless. However, his showings for the Cheetahs in his post-scholastic days hinted at a special player, one that caught the eye of Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
Meyer has a strict criteria by which he measures players' technical aptitude, but also places a high premium on their psychological constitution, believing it to be the thing that separates the good players from the great ones. In private conversations he has waxed lyrical about both these qualities in Goosen, although he is hesitant to speak too often about the 20-year-old publicly for fear of fueling the ever-growing hype.
Strauss, however, offered his opinion liberally. Having captained Goosen at the Cheetahs, he is well placed to do so.
'He'll be a little nervous initially but nerves won't get the better of him,' Strauss began when asked about Goosen's first run-on start against Australia on Saturday. 'I've said it to him before, he is the player who in my experience handles pressure the best. It's as if he doesn't feel it. Even including his technical skills, it's his best attribute and under pressure you see the best of him.'
Goosen's temperament will be sternly examined in the next fortnight. It is one thing to come off the wood for cameo appearances with relatively little expectation, but another entirely to carry the responsibility of steering the ship against the world's two best sides. This against the backdrop of the team's poor Rugby Championship campaign and a demand for victory. Not to mention the South African public's poisonous obsession with finding a flyhalf of near superhuman capacity.
Yet I sense Goosen will emerge having grown in the estimation of South Africa's rugby fraternity, with his mettle at the heart of his success.
I interviewed him for the upcoming edition of SA Rugby magazine in Bloemfontein last week and was struck by his responses to some of my questions. Emotions at his first anthem? Not much. Reaction from his parents upon news of his first selection? He forgot to call them. Approach to Test rugby? He just wanted to 'jol'.
'I didn't really feel any more pressure than I ever have in, say, a school game,' Goosen said, reflecting on his debut against Australia and subsequent fronting of the All Blacks.
Again, Goosen's youthful spirit may be eroded by the appreciable on and off-field pressure that accompanies being the Springboks' flyhalf. Here's hoping it isn't.

your understanding of anatomy is growing and it shows!! You should feel good about that. Remember that its okay to have an underdrawing. If you look at some of the old masters you can see the foundation blocks ( or cylinders) under thier drawings. Understanding how to do this combined with an understanding of anatomy will allow you to put characters in any pose you want with little or no reference. That is the goal. To be able to draw without the ref if you need to. Sorry i haven't been responding much. I've been up to my eyeballs storyboarding a horror movie. I'll be able to post some selected scenes soon. Keep up the good work!

wip maybe you've seen it...the lines were messed up but I just wanna focus on the color.
January 26th, 2007 #343
Oki, since it's scanned, why not crop and center in nicely on some more white background to give yourself room to work? There are a couple of things you might want to consider... one, kill the white background entirely, just wash it all in some tone, that skin orange would work. Two, don't work about the COLOR, think about the value, that it, how bright things are. Any color will work, but the value has got to be laid in to express your light source, which it isn't, since her globes are showing a light from the upper right, but her extended are is showing a light from the middle left.

oki, your lines are looking okay, now it's time to learn how to render tone to suppliment your lines. get values to describe form. push your darks and leave your white for where you really need it.
remember even white people aren't *white*

Nice stuff, watch the placement of the hips though, especially the first woman with the sword, her loincloth is a bit low and the legs are pushed forward a bit to much. The color sketch is a bit muddy and undefined and the skin tones are a bit bland, don't be afraid to mix in some more colors to get some contrast :]

hi hi hi! I love all your figure sketches! the study of the eye looks great too. I think it would be nice to see more close ups like that

Nice study of tone and color in your latest piece, maybe try drawing the whole head? Good stuff.

Wow lots of improvement just looking from the top of this page to what you've done recently. Your line quality has really improved. Drawing from life has really helped your rendering also. Keep it up man, very inspiring.

I agree your line quality has definatly improved. Perhaps consider drawing with ballpoint pen or a medium that doesn't allow you to heavy/beef up your lines as much as pencil does. I think this might help you increase your line quality even further, maybe ask around cause I could be wrong.
But I just got to say your work definaltely has some amazing potential especially in the female department. Chuck a female into the shirt on this page and youll have no complaints from me (from an artistic point of view of course).

Rieker Doris 85 Cutout Slip-Ons 13 13
review great shoe. Fits true to US sizes. Wears well and is very comfortable to walk and even dance in. March 19, 2010
Great shoe!!!! I bought a couple of pairs of walking shoes for a recent trip to New York City. These were great right out of the box - no breaking in time at all. I wore the other pair one day and they were very uncomfortable, but I switched back to these and had no problem at all. My feet, legs and back felt great after a long day of walking. July 3, 2010
most heavenly shoes ever! Nothing's better than these shoes! Pillowy soft and comfortable, but with superb support. Wore them right out of the box on a 6-day trip and was stunned at how springy my step was the whole time. Surprisingly good-looking, too -- my picky husband ended up loving them and suggesting I buy more (which I will!). If you want to look decent but pamper your feet at the same time, these are the shoes to buy. June 17, 2014
Great Value and Great Fit Traveled for over one month in India with these shoes. Never had a problem with the fit, or comfort June 15, 2010
Love Riekers but I ordered a 38 which is what I wear in this brand. Howeve, these shoes were too short and I think I figured out why. All the rest of my Riekers are square toes. These shoes are narrower at the toe...So I guess I'll have to get a 39 and see if that works. I agree with the rest of the reviewers Rieker shoes never need any breakin. I love them and the styles, too. February 14, 2011
Too narrow! I have several pairs of Reicker's Celia in size 42 and have found them the best, most comfortable serious travel walking shoes ever. I had hoped to find these a reasonably comfortable summer shoe, But these are much narrower and pinch along the sides even though I ordered a 42 in these as well. These are not for the same shape feet, I guess. April 18, 2013
Pretty but pinches Buying a larger size took care of the sizing problem. However, when I wore the shoes they caused blisters on my toes. If I wear bandages on my toes, I feel much better. December 15, 2013
I love Rieker shoes. They are very comfortable. I also have had a number of compliments about the look of the shoes. January 7, 2014

To the editor:
Warning signs come in many forms. Sometimes it's the piercing shriek of a fire alarm or the Emergency Alert System on the television or radio. Maybe it's the wail of a loudspeaker indicating an oncoming tornado or hurricane.
Regardless of the form, we're usually aware of what warning signs mean. They're intended to alert us to approaching danger, and we know that we must take action if we are to remain safe.
Sometimes the warning signs are not so obvious: Rather than screaming in our ears or shouting in our faces, such warning signs can be much more subtle. If we're distracted by other things and not paying attention we can easily miss them.
Could individuals and sometimes even great nations remain blind to dangers that otherwise should be obvious?
Early each year, the president of the United States gives his annual State of the Union address to Congress and, by extension, the nation as well as the world. It's typically a lofty speech filled with ideals and platitudes expressing the president's agenda.
Despite what it's called, the speech seldom addresses the actual state of the nation.
On the rostrum above the president as he gives this speech, seemingly avoided by television cameras, is the motto "In God We Trust." The president is sworn into office with his hand on a Bible as he pledges to carry out his duties "so help me God."
So what would God think about the current state of the United States?
There is growing acceptance of immoral behavior. The November 2012 elections were a revealing window into the prevailing mindset of voters. For the first time, voters legalized marriage between homosexuals in Maine, Maryland and Washington. Same-sex marriage had already been approved by state legislatures or courts in six other states, but this was the first time it had been approved directly by the voters — after having been previously rejected 32 times in statewide votes dating back to 1998.
Homosexual behavior is repeatedly condemned in scripture; yet far from being ashamed of such behavior, many pride themselves on their acceptance of it.
With the country's many gay pride marches and parades, could Isaiah 3:9 be a prophecy for America today? "The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them. They have brought disaster upon themselves."
Meanwhile in two states — Colorado and Washington — voters approved possession and recreational use of marijuana, a drug that remains illegal under federal law. Nineteen other states allow what is called "medicinal" use of the drug though it's clearly abused by many who want to use it simply to get high. Although marijuana isn't directly mentioned in Scripture, God's Word clearly condemns intoxication in any form calling those seeking it "drunkards" who will have no place in the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 5:11, 6:10; Galatians 5:21.) The reason so many use marijuana is for the intoxicated state it produces; otherwise, why do it?
Any nation brings curses upon itself when it turns its back on biblical values and accepts sin as normal and commonplace. Thinking themselves enlightened, people fail to take into account God's view which He states in Isaiah 5:20-25: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes…."
You will always reap what you sow. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death…." (Galatians 6:7-8).
Yes, God is a God of love; but He's also a God of justice. America has turned its back on God and we are receiving the fruits of our indifference — bad economy, federal debt, lawlessness, storms, etc.
An Irish philosopher once said that all it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing. Brothers and sisters it's time to stand up for what's right!

Pesticide-free parks take labor -- lots of it
Cities and schools like the idea, but the extra work is a sticking point

Megan Dunn (left) talks with Katherine McDuffy (right), twins Tatum and Jordan Smith, and Dunn's daughter, Eleanor Robb (in blue) after the kids spent a March afternoon playing at Lowell Park. To Dunn, pesticide use in parks is an issue both for public health and for Puget Sound.
A pilot project to keep the park pesticide-free through hand-weeding went to seed last year. It died out after Dunn and her neighbors could no longer muster the volunteer momentum to keep it going.
"Last year, the city of Everett sprayed pesticides around every tree base so they wouldn't have to trim there," said Dunn, 37, who is drawing on the experience for a master's program at UW Bothell. "What's wrong with having longer grass around the base? Or throwing mulch down?"
Like Everett, other cities and school districts like the idea of going pesticide-free. However, trial and error shows it can be tricky to pull off without lots of extra labor.
Programs at Martha Lake Elementary in Lynnwood and Columbia Elementary in Mukilteo endured for years, but are now defunct.
Snohomish kept its city parks pesticide-free for several years until 2009, when staff cutbacks forced the city to go back to using some pre-emergent herbicides. The city still has a well-regarded program to minimize unnecessary use of pest-control chemicals.
Dunn hasn't given up. She continues to push Everett to adopt better pesticide policies. And many in city government are listening.
Dunn first took up the cause in 2008, when she saw city workers applying chemicals in Lowell Park while her children played nearby.
Running and rolling in the grass at the 10-acre community park has been part of the routine for her children, Eleanor Robb, 5, and Carter Robb, 7. So it's natural their mom would want to keep them away from the man-made chemicals city landscaping crews use to kill weeds and unwanted critters.
Dunn hoped to show that a little harmless elbow grease could replace herbicides, fungicides and insecticides that might pose a risk to people or the environment.
Everett parks officials agreed to go along. If things went well, they would consider extending the pilot program to other city parks. A one-year trial was followed by a two-year pilot program.
Though weeding parties netted up to 150 hours per season of volunteer labor, they couldn't keep it up. The city resumed spraying the park last year.
"It's going to be very difficult for the parks with their declining budget to take on something that takes on more labor costs," said Everett City Councilwoman Brenda Stonecipher, who also serves on Everett's Park Board. "Given unlimited resources, I'd say, 'Sure, let's go pesticide-free.' "
Stonecipher and others welcome the conversation, though.
Dunn returned to the city Park Board in October to suggest that Everett adopt an integrated pest management policy, a streamlined approach to fighting vegetation, moss, mold, insects or other living things that crop up where people don't want them.
For her, the impetus has been evidence that long-term exposure to some pesticides may contribute to cancers, low fertility or other health problems. Another area of concern: herbicides in storm runoff.
"For me, it's a public health issue and also we should be good stewards of Puget Sound," she said.
Integrated pest management programs have taken on those challenges, and others, by offering more efficient ways to ward off weeds and insects, while promoting plant health. They're becoming increasingly common at public parks, schools and corporate campuses.
The term pesticides includes herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and rodenticides.
Some landscaping alternatives to herbicides include the gardening mantra "right plant, right place." There's also hand-weeding and mulching to fend off weeds, proper pruning techniques to prevent disease, and better drainage.
Good pest-management policies favor the least hazardous chemicals, making sure they're the most effective product for the task at hand and that they're used correctly.
Schools already are required by state law to post a prominent public notice at least 48 hours before spraying pest-control chemicals, in most situations. Warning-notice practices for other areas, including public parks and golf courses, are less stringent and do not require the same advance posting.
While Everett posts warning signs and flags, leaders acknowledge they could be doing a better job.
"We have internal procedures and we follow those to the letter," said John Petersen, the assistant director for park planning and maintenance. "We don't have published policy."
Specific changes under discussion include better park signs to explain pesticide procedures, Petersen said.
The Park Board expects to take up the topic at its next meeting on May 14 and to continue discussions over the summer.
Considerations for new pesticide rules include whether the public minds seeing weeds crop up at parks and playfields, Petersen said. Also, it costs money to replace turf after weeds take root in the grass.
"We're always looking to reduce our use," he said. "We have probably cut back by 80 percent or so in the past 10 years."
That said, Everett lags behind some other cities in adopting a formal strategy to combat weeds, moss, troublesome insects and pesky rodents.
"What I'd like to see is more of a citywide policy that guarantees pesticides are a last-resort option," Dunn said. "Part of it is just accepting the dandelion."
Everett's employees who apply pesticides are licensed by the state and keep logs. They put flags down to mark sprayed areas and provide 24 hours advance notice.
Everett reports using seven types of herbicides.
The most common herbicide Everett uses is a glyphosate-based material similar to what's sold under the name Roundup. The city also uses Crossbow, Surflan, Trimec, Dimension, Rodeo and Snapshot.
"Based on just the chemical usage, I don't see anything alarming," said Carrie Foss, who heads Washington State University Extension's program for urban integrated pest management.
While Foss encourages landscapers to minimize use of herbicides that kill plants before they emerge from the soil, she cautions against judging a city or school district's practices solely based on the fact that they use them.
"Pesticides are one of the tools in the toolbox," she said.
Chemicals should only be used as part of a well-thought-out pest management program, she cautioned.
While WSU Extension avoids blacklisting many commonly used herbicides, the Seattle-based nonprofit Washington Toxics Coalition, along with the city of Seattle, created a three-tiered table identifying chemicals to phase out. Seattle lists three herbicides used by Everett in the tier 1 group, which it considers of most concern: Crossbow, Trimec and Snapshot.
The most commonly used herbicides, the glyphosate-based material like Roundup, are considered tier 2 chemicals, which the coalition wants to see used less.
"It's really important to have a guide about what pesticides should not be used," said Erika Shreder, the coalition's science director.
The Edmonds School District, for one, uses at least seven different types of chemicals. They include what Shreder considered large amounts of tier 1 herbicides, as well as insecticides for getting rid of wasps and hornets.
"Edmonds School District's pesticide use is concerning both for the quantities they use and for the pesticides they've chosen, many of which are among the most harmful," Shreder said. "It's disappointing to see that school districts continue to use hazardous chemicals in and around schools when there are safer and effective tools available."
The Everett, Marysville and Mukilteo school districts all reported using at least one tier 1 pesticide.
While wasps or hornets can be a serious danger to children, Shreder said trained pest-control professionals have numerous other tools they can use.
"Generally, a wasp or hornet nest does not appear overnight," she said.
In Everett, Dunn said the city has been cooperative in working through her concerns.
"They've been very receptive," she said.
Other programs have succeeded in eliminating or drastically reducing pesticides, Foss said.
Examples include the Port of Seattle, which since 1998 has maintained 60 acres of parkland using all-organic landscaping.
The city of Seattle uses volunteers to help maintain 22 parks without pesticides, as part of a program that began in 2001. Seattle also keeps 250 areas pesticide-free, including picnic grounds and community gardens. "Pesticide-free can work for landscaped areas," Foss said. "If you're going to use volunteers, they need to be managed. It needs to be an institutionalized program."

When we are young, collagen gives our skin its volume, flexibility and strength. As we age, collagen breaks down and diminishes elasticity and facial volume, resulting in deep lines and wrinkles.
Radiesse is a popular wrinkle filler made from calcium hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Radiesse can replenish volume and smooth out smile and frown lines, as well as shape and contour the face. As well as restoring volume, Radiesse restores volume and promotes the growth of the body's own collagen, to provide lasting, but not permanent augmentation.
Initial visit
During a patient's complimentary first visit, a full medical history will be taken. Physical examination will focus on age, genetics, skin type and elasticity. It is important to discuss any pre-existing conditions, allergies, medications, and past surgeries.
The Injection
The area injected is usually numbed either by the application of ice or with a local anesthetic. Radiesse is then injected with a small needle and most patients experience minimal discomfort.
Prior to the Injection
For at least two weeks prior, patients are required to refrain from smoking, alcohol and aspirin products. Smoking interferes with circulation and healing, and products containing aspirin or ibuprofen thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
After the Injection
Results are fully evident within a week and should last around two years. Radiesse usually provides up to 80 percent improvement immediately after treatment.
Possible Side-Effects
Radiesse injections are safe and quick. However, as with all cosmetic procedures there are side-effects and risks. The most common side-effects include discomfort or pain at the injection site, which usually subsides within 24 to 36 hours, discomfort, bruising, and infection. A rare complication may be the appearance of nodules which would require steroid treatment.
The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume with Radiesse to smooth out signs of aging.

I'm already riding right on the hood of the wagon like a big ole creole hood ornament
James Grayson, Hornets247.com
There are reasons to be optimistic this season about the New Orleans Hornets. These reasons are why we should see more fair weather fans declaring themselves Hornets "fans."
People are already hitchin' their wagons headin' for New Orleans!
With the regular season approaching and our official announcement that it is indeed Hornets season already I thought we might try and convince those passive NBA fans to join Hornets nation right now!
I know what you are thinking Mr/Ms/Mrs. Dedicated Hornets Fan, "No, I don't want them to support us — they are annoying." I'm here to say that you need these fans.
Why might you ask? Well the answer is simple. Ever get frustrated when the Hornets get*zero National TV coverage when they're playing well? It's because of these bandwagon fans. They haven't hitched their wagon to our merry band and big-time networks will only cover something that garners more eyeballs.
So with that reasoning I'm here to rally everyone around the NBA to hitch their wagon early and partake in our glorious journey!
1. Anthony Davis will be one of the best to play the game
He hasn't played a second in the NBA, but folks know that Davis' talent is undeniable. His defensive impact will be*electric and the color of the paint in the key will be a warning signal to any foe who dares enter it.
Davis is not just a great prospect and player right now, his brand appeal and youthful exuberance both on and off the court is something that everyone will like. What makes him even more appealing is his long-term potential. Many say he has the capabilities and package that Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett once had. Now, he's not there yet, but he could be soon.
Rather than wait four years before declaring yourself an Anthony Davis fan, why not do it now and save yourself the trouble of looking like a fair-weather NBA fan?
2. The Austin Rivers/Doc Rivers rivalry
I'm already riding right on the hood of the wagon like a big ole creole hood ornament
That said Joe, you should add a #6:
6. The Rebrand
Well, ive certainly been a hornets-first fan since they arrived in our city, but i've jumped on registering on this forum about five min ago. Cant wait to discuss this hornets team with other hornets fans. Hopefully we can get other fans to support us.
In one year we went from all aboard the tank train to jump on the bandwagon. Can't wait for the season.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I think you have to have ridden the tank before you're allowed on the bandwagon.
Bandwagon or not lets strengthen our fan base. Turn the bandwagoners into die-hards. Everyone has to start somewhere.

6. They won't be named Hornets for much longer.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
I just don't understand the nature of a bandwagoner. I can't care about something one day and not the next. I can understand not supporting a poorly run team finacially, but to just not care at all because they aren't winning is just immature to me.

Aside from how absurb I think Davis becoming the best player in the league is. If your talking to bandwagon fans why would they care about looking like "fair-weather" fans?Rather than wait four years before declaring yourself an Anthony Davis fan, why not do it now and save yourself the trouble of looking like a fair-weather NBA fan?
Keep in mind, I say this as a life long Saints fan - I'm only 21 years old, but you get the point.
Hell if not for Oden injury issues I'd take him over Davis.
I see nothing special at all about this dude. I've seen super athletic, long 4's with much more skill bust. While I doubt he'll bust but there is nothing that I've seen from him that says best player on a team let alone best player in the league.
He will not. And I'm not on the Blake bandwagon. However I see a far better skillset with Griffin than Davis. The one thing I've learned from watching basketball is players only get so much better. I've never seen a player make the leap that Davis would have to in order to be the games top player.
I can't think of one NBA player that has completely revamped their games since entering the NBA yet everybody seems to think it's a given Davis will make this godly transformation.
HI. I jus want to chime in. About AD being better than Blake Griffin, I favor Davis because AD dosent need the ball to have an impact on the game like other great big men (Dwight, Duncan, KG). Blake dosent have the skillset or physical tools(short arms) that AD has to make the same type of impact that AD can. Obviously defensively theres no contest, and Blake has more work to do, but even on offense AD does some things better Think about it. Just taking the eye test alone, wouldnt you say that AD is a better than Blake shooter even now? He certainly is more fluent if anything. Blake is certainly a better offensive product than AD right now, but Davis has shown his potential as an offensive player who can only get better.
Really? And what skillset does Griffin have besides dunking and rebounding (and flopping)?
The skillset i see does NOT include... Shooting, Dribbling, or Passing....
I thought last season was only bad because we didnt make the playoffs. I enjoyed watching 90 percent of the games (a handful were almost unwatchable... Remember the Atlanta game (vomits)) They fought hard and it was good to see the youngsters play. Hopefully we double our winnings this time.

[quote author="CanZen"]
My feeling on this conundrum falls squarely on the authenticity of the experience. It seems to me that there is always some latent fakery going on in religion that tends to disqualify it as real spirituality. Even in art or in literature the aesthetic experience can contain spiritual significance at a personal level, but art and fictional prose are not at all like religion, they contain a level of false portrayal but that's not hidden or somehow malicious, in fact they are upfront with their abstractions and yet are capable of eliciting a spiritual response. Science also is what it is, there is no fakery involved and thus the awe produced is an authentic response to the world.
"The apparent is the bridge to the real." Sufi saying.
Something that is completely fake may provide just the impact that triggers an authentic experience in somebody.

Way to go! Good decision on the trans, might as well make it right - and make it behave like a proper Roller.
Way to go! Good decision on the trans, might as well make it right - and make it behave like a proper Roller.
im running into some confusion with the mirrors that should have been on this car (before it was federalized)... ill have to take a couple pictures of what ive got and post them on RROC, as ive found i think 4 or 5 different variations of mirrors on these cars and im not sure whether they were all available and were picked by the owners as options or whether it was a year to year difference.
Fantastic! I'm glad to see it going on as a restoration instead of some hacked-up mod car. Granted, the options would open up if you didn't mind modifying it, but this will be much sweeter in the end.

im headed out to the shop tonight but ill post pictures of the door mounted square crap that weve got, the holes that are left over on our window trim from the small round mirrors that i presume the car used to have... and then the couple of pictures ive found online of other early shadows and what they appear to have.
lots of confusion
my hope is to try to track down the round door mounted (and adjustable from the interior) ones ive managed to find pictures of online, but havent checked for prices or availability.
im certain that this car shipped with window frame mounted non adjustable mirrors, but someone added these interior adjustable square ones at some point - and whacked holes in the door trim (for the adjusters) and in the doors. so were hoping to use the holes that theyve made to mount the smaller round mirrors...
itll all make more sense with pictures i think
"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
This is the best build thread I have ever read on vortex. So excited to see the outcome.
These cars sweat class.
anyway, onto the pictures!
heres us (both sides of the car are the same):
the original holes:
and i didnt take shots but theres a hole through each front door wood piece for the adjustment knob to poke through...
heres a RHD '67 with the fender mounted setup - which seems to follow most of the other RHD '67s ive seen
and finally heres a RHD '76 with a combo of both the window mounted and door mounted round mirrors:
like i said my hope is to find a left and right version of the round door mounted style that are adjustable from inside - as seen on the driver's side of the RHD '76, so that we can reuse the holes in the wood and doors that someone so kindly drilled in our car...
something like this guy:
(currently on ebay, description says euro spec '75)
im going to bug the brainiacs at RROC about this also, but figured this might make an interesting discussion here too
chrome bumpers shipped today... so pictures are on their way soon
Originally Posted by Boyz in da Park

and according to the handful of folks whove responded apparently there were 4 different types of mirrors available in the 60s, each being available in either a single on the drivers side or a dual mirror configuration depending on how it was ordered. among those 4 types the door mounted adjustable round mirror was an option.
now to hunt down a pair!
What wonderful cars.
I've driven many of them over the years, and they simply drive like no other car on the road.
One thing that bothers me about these is the steering wheel. Why not wood and with same damned style! It looks like it belongs on a taxi.
ive seen a few online with wooden wheels, but yeah youre right the plastic hardly seems fitting
all kinds of parts sitting at the shop now, including 3 bumpers
so far got the front bumper on loose to make adjustments to the fitment... need to take a couple of pictures as it looks 100% better already and we havent even swapped up the mirrors
after removing the old bumpers i found a couple places that need some touching up underneath but it should look great afterwards
pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics...

i can imagine, and we already have a few dings and dents and whatnot from before
should have pics in a couple days
couple shots of the front (havent had time to fit the rear)
keep in mind that its not really mounted but just finger tight... still need to adjust/center/level it
Great looking car!
thanks, ill hopefully get a chance over the next few weeks to completely mount both bumpers
another month, another update
trans should be a couple weeks out now, most of the way reassembled and just waiting on a couple more odds and ends to get it buttoned up.
I love it when this pops to the top of my subscribed threads.
Very cool project.
next projects before the trans comes back are getting the bumpers all sorted out, hiding some of the wiring in the rear that the chrome rear bumper doesnt have provisions for, and touching up some of the paint up front behind the bumper.
i might have time to wrap up the bumpers this weekend, but i need a few dry days to finish painting the brackets.
Speaking of your car, here's my latest temptation to rejoin the fold:
It's a 1966 Silver Shadow Coupe, James Young edition. Only 50 made, of those only 15 are LHD (the one pictured isn't, btw). I've only seen two of these advertised in the US, this one and a rust-bucket that sat on a Lousiiana lot for years. I like the MPW/Corniche, but really love these as they carry over the great lines of the Silver Shadow more faithfully. They didn't sell well because they were insanely expensive for the time - unlike Mulliner Park Ward, they had no relationship with Rolls-Royce and had to pay full retail for a Shadow then re-do the body as a coupe.
Unfortunately for this one, some knucklehead decided to update it and add the later bumpers. Another wierd thing is, though you can't see this in the pics, the restorer didn't put back the side mirrors.
"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
i truly cant stand the coupes with the later bumpers... the sedans im not quite as bothered by, but i think they look terrible on a coupe
plenty of neat stuff for sale in the 25k-35k price range on RROC the last few months though if youre thinking about getting back into it
