Remember when I started this New Year by saying I was going to write more blogs? #EpicFail. Maybe I have just been so cold and buried in snow here…yes, I'll use that excuse.
We have been doing some spring cleaning in our showrooms, and have put out a lot of new displays in Somers over the past few weeks! We got rid of some old displays to make room to display new trends in both tile and fixtures. We also added a lot of new tile lines to our gallery, refreshing our glass and porcelain offerings. Enjoy the photos, and stop by Somers to see everything in person! The displays should be out in the other showrooms within the next two months.
Want to be the first to see our new displays as they go out? Like us on Facebook!

Asking the organizer to write about his own workshop is like asking a mother to describe the virtues of an unmarried daughter. The answers are likely to be personal and incomplete. With that proviso, let me attempt to give my impressions on the meeting. Apart from ICCF-2 held in Como in 1991 there have been about a dozen or so Cold Fusion meetings held in Italy since 1989. Most of these have not been advertised. Invitation has been by word of mouth and bud- gets have been very limited. As a result these meetings have generally been attended by Italian academics only.

Biberian's group is obviously very attentive to controls and issues related to testing and this work should be strong evidence to force on the pedantic CF critics. There was less discussion of the CETI replication—Grenoble has a RIFEX kit but they real- ly are after XS- heat. From what I can gather in their own CETI copy they have observed around 12-13% XS-heat and some evidence of transmutations. Jean-Pierre Vigier (Paris) I think I am a bigger fan of French CF than Italian. I know I prefer Vigier's enigmatic theorizing to Preparata's charismatic style. Vigier is still on the idea of new Bohr orbits and he is still pushing the need to do experiments which would try to test one theory or another—check out his latest paper in Physics Letters A (perhaps its not quite out yet). Vigier cites Dufour's work in support of his view and also the work of Stan Szpak (in collaboration with a few of us at UCSD, by the way). The big news for me here is Vigier's prediction of the observation of a new Balmer series for Hydrogen with the extra line(s) for the new energy states. Spzak's work, Vigier says, confirms this. The mantra here is the same as before -- look for soft X-rays. Um, is this not a pretty important discovery irrespective of CF? Anyway, Vigier's friends in Belgrade (I'm not sure who) are at work on a confirmation of this. Antonio Spallone (Frascati) Spallone (works with Celani) reported on some of the Frascati experiments—more studies of Pd-load- ing, more studies of XS-heat production using flow calorimetry. Again the importance of dealing with electromigration in achieving high loading was dis- cussed and a warning not to try and load the cath- odes too quickly. This is common theme—in the pursuit of XS-heat it is wise to design a protocol which can maintain high loading at high voltage. I gather that the major explanation for the irrepro- ducibility of XS-heat is the problem of sudden and unpredictable deloading in the course of an experi- ment. conclusions, but again this all revolves around the loading/deloading Francesco Premuda (Bologna) issue. McKubre suggests that pure Pd is too weak a material and is probe I really wanted to follow this talk, but I couldn't to deformations which lead to sudden deloading - their best batch of Pd (must have been the wine at lunch). was technical grade stuff. This suggests that Pd alloys might be better, possibly Pd with boron. The other suggestion is that impurities may Michael McKubre (SRI) have a positive effect on producing XS heat by blunting the formation of The issues always seem clearer to me after I hear dislocation chains. It would be great to see Ed Storms and McKubre have McKubre talk about them. The good news is that in a discussion about this stuff, but Bob Huggins was there at least and he the wake of the NHE decline, the SRI group will be suggested that thin films which aren't really "big" enough to deform may back on track with some DARPA funding be the best way to go.

This tub of plasticine (see photo below) has been sitting in a box at the back of my study. I don't think it has been subjected to any particularly extreme environmental events, yet it looks like it is covered in white crystals. Any ideas how this has happened?
• Plasticine is a mixture of calcium salts – mostly calcium carbonate – petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids – mainly stearic acid. Stearic acid is a "fatty acid", meaning that it is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Rather than having the consistency of a fat, it forms crystals. Most fatty acids crystallise at room temperature.
The stearic acid crystals in plasticine have a solubility in water of 3 grams per litre at 20 °C. I suspect that moisture in the air has caused stearic acid to leach out of the plasticine in a solution and recrystallise ...

31 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 27-40 within 100 miles
Denver bound!!!
My name is Katie. I'm moving to Denver in June to go to graduate school at University of Denver. I've never even been to Colorado before to it is a whole new adventure. I'm a little bit in limbo right now as far as dating because I am about to move so far away but I would love to meet someone when I move to Denver whether it's a friend or more. I would love to meet someone I can ultimately spend the rest of my life with but I'm not looking to settle. I'm independent and want someone who is also independent. I hoping to go to Colorado and learn to ski, snowboard, rock climb, ect. So someone who is adventurous and active would be my perfect fit. It's also nice to have down time and snuggle on the couch watching a movie. A sense of humor and ability to laugh at yourself and be a little goofy is a must. Confidence is sexy and some who knows who they are is also a must. I take pride in the way I look and also want someone who does, but if you look in the mirror more than I do or take longer to get ready, not so good. I'm close with my family and would love to inherit a close family sister, brother, nieces, nephews, all of that. I don't really have type. What's hard about being on here is that it's mostly based on physical attraction. Everyone looks different in pictures than in real life. Btw I look much better in person. Anyway hopefully you think I'm super hot and want to message me. If not I understand. To each his own. Attraction is a mysterious thing and when it's there it's there. About me: I'm a social worker and love what I do for work. I may never be a millionaire but helping people is what I love to do. I think of the glass half full. I'm open minded, honest, motivated, intelligent, sometimes shy, loving, kind, sarcastic, funny. Enough bragging... I love a good adventure, traveling, being outside, my pug, laughing, kisses that give me butterflies, Christmas, Disney World, singing along to cheesy 90's music, reading, learning, family, friends, blaring music in my car with the windows down, shoes, sarcasm, the f word, tattoos Just really want someone who brings out the best in me and vice versa. Someone who loves me for exactly who I am but encourages me to be the best I can be. Someone I can do absolutely anything with and be happy.

The beach. Mountains. Any body of water you can boat in. Disney World. New York City. The mall (if I have money). Hole in the wall bars. Small local shops and restaurants.
University of West Florida, Pensacola, FL
Music. Disney World. Smell of Fall weather. First kisses. The ocean. Stiletto heels and flip flops. Clean laundry. Blaring music in my car with the windows down. My dog. My friends/friends. Cuddling. A good nights sleep. Christmas! Coffee in the am
I really up for just about anything. Whatever the mood and weather require. One thing I don't like is packed night clubs. I'm a big believer that as long as your with the right person/people than you can have funny doing anything.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for Oct. 11
hilary duff pregnant
Hilary Duff appeared on "Good Morning America" Monday to promote her new book, "Devoted," but she seemed downright giddy when asked to dish on her pregnancy. "Everyone else says it's a girl, but I think it's a boy," the 24-year-old ventured, adding that if she and her husband, Mike Comrie, choose an unconventional name, they'll go with "a normal middle name" so he or she has a choice. As for cravings, Hilary admitted, "When I get something on my mind I want, I want it now, I'm ferocious. I'm always up for Red Hots, which is so weird because I've never liked them before. Thank god it isn't fried and covered in butter." Duff's new book is a follow-up to her best-selling debut, "Elixir." (HuffPo)

What We Want Wednesday!!
For once, it really does feel like Wednesday here. I felt like it was Wednesday yesterday and got excited to announce the next giveaway, but it wasn't. But now it is Wednesday! Happy Hump Day! The week needs to go by faster! I'm going to try and just vape my way through.
This week we're giving away a Vaping Kiko Bag v1! This bag is pretty much awesome. You won't have to carry your mods and juice in your hands or pockets any longer. It is so spacious, and waterproof. I love the thing so much!
But you're gonna need something to put in your bag, so how about 100mls of Axiom Juice? That could be broken down into how ever many ways (2 50mls etc) if you need more then one flavor.
To be eligible for this Drawing you must:
- Have an account with Craving Vapor. (you can create an account in seconds, no purchase necessary)
- Reply to our Reddit Post. See Reddit post for more information, and as always thanks for your support. If You Like, Remember To Like us on Facebook .

Sarah Boone (born Sarah Marshall) was born in Pike County, Miss., in 1837. According to Biography, she was best known for filing a patent detailing revolutionary improvement to a common device: the ironing board. The patent was granted in 1892, 12 years before her death in 1904.
In 1837, Sarah Boone, a female African-American inventor, was born in Summit, Pike County, in the state of Mississippi. Little is known of her childhood, but she married James Boone, a freedman, in 1847 and moved to Craven County, N.C. From this, her only marriage, she sired eight children.
Boone is famous for creating improvements to what would become the modern ironing board. She wanted to make a cost-effective alternative to the standard ironing boards used at the time that were placed between two chairs. Her design contained self-standing legs to hold the wooden board and folded when not in use. The board itself was tapered so that sleeves and more narrow garments were easily pressed without creating unsightly creases.
While her proposed design is different than the modern ironing boards of today's home, Sarah Boone paved the way for efficient and cost-effective designs meant to make household duties easier for all parties involved.

I am having a problem that I cannot find the answer to and would appreciate anyone's help as I am sure I am missing something.
I have a company email setup on Gmail but use our company's name as the domain ie. email@example.com. I am trying to connect to that account using IMAP and PHP but am getting the following error '500 Internal server error'.
What I have done/tried:
Here is my connection code:
$hostname = '{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX'; $username = 'firstname.lastname@example.com'; $password = 'mypassword'; $inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to your email account: ' . imap_last_error()); $emails = imap_search($inbox,'ALL'); $get_unseen = imap_search($inbox,'UNSEEN');
Verified php.ini has imap & openSSL loaded and it does using
extension_loaded("imap") and extension_loaded("openssl")
Verified the username/password is correct and they are
Verified that the email account has IMAP enabled and it does, from Google
Status: IMAP is enabled
Really searched these forums and the internet for help
Verified that I do not have 'application-specific passwords' for my account (http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=185833)
Just as a quick test I made a generic email@example.com email address and put that name and password into the $username and $password fields and everything worked as it should. I could read all emails, subjects, dates, body, etc. When I swap the username back to email@example.com I get the internal server error again.
Because I was able to connect and retrieve emails from the email@example.com account I did not telnet from the server.
I am really stumped. Any ideas I could try or direction I could be pointed in?

Thank you, Dolores,
Bart will be missed by his Cervato, Lunada and Diablo Vista neighbors. His memory will be celebrated as we welcome his family home.
