CinemaCon: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg Named Comedy Filmmakers of the Year
The duo are next in theaters this summer with Universal comedy "Neighbors."
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will receive CinemaCon's Comedy Filmmakers of the Year award at next month's annual gathering of theater owners in Las Vegas. The convention runs March 24-27 at Caesars Palace.
The duo's next producing effort, Neighbors, opens in theaters May 9. Rogen stars opposite Zac Efron and Rose Byrne in the Universal comedy, about a young couple suffering from arrested development who move in next door to a frat house after the birth of their baby.
Nick Stoller directed Neighbors, with Rogen and Goldberg producing alongside James Weaver.
Neighbors is followed by Rogen and Goldberg's The Interview on Oct. 10. The film reunites Rogen and Goldberg with their This Is The End star James Franco.

mtrn or sd????
mtrn or sd????
Fisrt of all I would like to say hello to everyone in the forum,as thisi is my first post since I recently joined.
Well here goes my question:
Is mtrn as bad as SD,I used SD it game great strength and size (up to 12 pounds) kept 10 of them,but sides were horrible,most of it lipid profile,started my cholesterol at 175 and ended at 195,as well as horrible headaches that seemed to go away with water intake.
1st question:
Is mtrn as harsh as SD ?
2nd question
could someone post a proper cycle of mtrn including PTC?
Thanx - 03-22-2006, 06:00 PM
In answer to your 1st question they both seem to be a bit harsh though this will largely vary from person to person.
Your second question could easily be answered by doing a little research via the search function...be sure not to skimp out on the pct...nolva or tor...your rats will thank you. -

Yes welcome, and searching is your friend!
As a point to note, however, TRN is constitutionally less harsh and less potent as an anabolic than SD for most.
Sides on TRN are likely to be much less severe as well.
The jury is still out on cycle length, but I'd go 4-6 weeks on TRN, with a 4 week PCT. You'd need to gauge the continuing effectiveness as weeks go by and act accordingly. That is, if your gains grind to a halt after 3-4 weeks, you certainly don't want to go for 6. But if it's rolling well, you may go 6 or even 8.
It would be interesting IMO to go with something like SD or ergo or PP for weeks 1-3, and run TRN weeks 1-6. I would not suggest this for a beginner, however.
Search the PCT forum and report back on what you find; what do you think a good PCT protocol would be, or some possibilities based on your research? - 03-23-2006, 12:33 AM

Musings on Museums, Freezer Meals, German Food, and Other Such Nonsense
7 comments:
Hope your b-day was spectacular, you don't look a day over 21! My boys wear there best hoodies too, their comment to me was "mom, we don't live in Georgia anymore, no one here cares how we look," Hmmmm,people in the south are a bit more preppy.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I also did a pinterest day making a bunch of freezer crockpot meals. Afterward, we took everyone out to eat. Thought about pizza delivery but didn't even want to deal with paperplates. Ha! Just wanted everyone out of the house.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It sounds like you had a fun, family day. And I totally understand about the sweatshirts on the kids. My favorite is how Santa photos have changed over the years - from cute outfits to sweatshirts and jeans! :)
I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what you think.

Disintegration cover redesigned
"I found this via Drawn - there's an art show in Ireland called Candy Karaoke. "Over 70 of Ireland's leading illustrators, photographers and designers were asked to contribute a piece that would re-imagine or re-design their favourite album covers." Artist Will St. Leger recreated Disintegration. You can see the entire Flickr set here." (Thanks Jason)

What the hell is a Pump Mounter Driver (PMD) or also called Fuel System Driver (FSD)?
I find that understanding is the key to fixing anything. If someone tells you do this, you ask why, as the next time this happens you might not have the luck of having mister know-it-all to tell you what to do. The PMD and FSD are the same thing, with just two different names. From now on in the post I'll use PMD not to mix people up. So the PMD is a small black box bolted on the side of your electronic injection pump. It is the size of a deck of cards. The PMD relays the information from your engine computer to your injection pump. It tells the injection pump when to give fuel to which injector. That's why when it stops working your engine just shuts off, it because the PMD stops telling the injection pump to give fuel so it's the same thing as turning off your ignition key. On a side note if you were to run a switch on the PMD, you could stop anybody from starting your truck unless they turned on your hidden switch. The truck will crank but since it's not getting any fuel, it would never start. A neat little future project not to get my Suburban stolen...
The Ultimate Fix for PMD Failures:
The best fix for PMD failures is to relocate the PMD from the intense heat of being strapped to an injector pump in the middle of the engine bay and into a higher up, cooler spot with some sort of better cooling mechanism. A huge aluminium heat sync proves to be a very good fix for the problem. The radiator fans sucks cool air in the engine bay which cools the heat sync and the PMD. There are a number of places you can buy a new improved PMD and Heat Sync combo. Two of the most popular ones that proved that their products work are Accurate Diesel and SS Diesel Supply. They both sell their FSD Heat-Sync for 350$US which includes a new heavy-duty PMD, special oversized heat sync, and #9 resistor. The sell the exact same product from the research I have done, so it's no importance from where you get it. I bought mine from Accurate Diesel only because they also sell on eBay and I was using an eBay certificate to pay for a part of the item. I recommend changing everything at once and not salvaging your existing PMD and bolting it on to your new heat sync. The reason is that your old PMD may already be defective or even worse, might have been damaged but it is not yet noticeable. The other reason is that removing the PMD requires removing the intake manifold which is very long to do. Even if your PMD is broken just leave it where it is, you only have to disconnect and connect your new PMD. Moreover, if you PMD is not 100% dead, meaning that engine doesn't start at all anymore, keeping it might be very useful. In the event that your new PMD breaks, you can simply reconnect the old one and you can bring your truck home without calling a towing... In the next section I'll go into an in-depth explanation on how to change the PMD. Instructions are included when you purchase you PMD from the two sources indicated above but I like to include mine because the coat-hanger trick did not work for me and I had to remove the upper intake manifold. My how-to, includes the removal of the intake manifold, which is pretty easy and you can give it a good clean while being there...
What You'll Need for the Upgrade:
- A complete FSD Heat-Sync kit
- An upper intake manifold gasket
- Your trusty socket wrench and adapters
- An 8mm socket
- An 10mm socket
- An 13mm socket
- An 19mm deep socket
- A T25 Torks (Star Key) bit
- Phillips Screwdriver
Step 1:
Disconnect both the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) and the Air Intake Temperature Sensor and tuck the cables somewhere out of your way. You can take this time to clean the connector with an appropriate electrical connector contact cleaner. This will make sure they function well for the years to come. You'll get a chance to inspect these two sensors later when we remove them from the manifold. For a future project if you want to know your manifold pressure or intake temperature, you can run a gauge off these sensors...
Step 2:
Using your 8mm socket loosen the bolt holding the turbocharger hose that connects the turbo to the intake manifold, only loosen the one shown in the picture, not the other one as it is not necessary. If you feel like it go ahead and loosen the two 8mm bolts and clean the hose, mine was very dirty and full of dried silicon someone had used to seal it to the intake manifold. If you notice your hose is cracked, it may be the time to change it. You might be loosing air pressure from your turbo! SS Diesel Supply sells one for 24.99$US. Do not remove the bolts completely as the small spring may fall and then trying to find it might not be really easy. Next using your 13mm socket remove the big bolt that holds the turbocharger to the intake manifold. Lastly using your 10mm socket remove the 6 bolts that hold the intake manifold in place. Your upper intake manifold should now be free, go ahead and remove it!
Step 3 (Optional):
With your upper intake manifold removed you can go ahead and give your turbocharger hose, lower intake manifold and upper intake manifold a good clean. If you want to clean your upper intake manifold, be sure to remove the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) and the Air Intake Temperature Sensor beforehand. The MAP is simply held down by two 8mm bolts. The Air Intake Temperature Sensor is screwed into the manifold, use a 19mm deep socket to remove it. I recommend you to remove the two sensors and giving the manifold a good clean in the sink with a good soap and scrub. The interior of mine had oily deposits and sticky sludge from the hundreds of thousands of kilometres of driving. I included pictures of what my parts looked like before cleaning.Step 4:
Now that everything has been removed and thoroughly cleaned, we are ready for the PMD upgrade. Before installing the new PMD we will have to disconnect the ground wire and connector of the old PMD. Now that the upper intake manifold is removed, it will be much easier to access the old PMD. Go ahead and use your Torx T25 bit to unscrew the ground screw. Once removed put the screw back in place. You can then remove the connector to your old PMD. You need to unclick the latch then it should come right off. Now pull the cable gently and try to get the longest out of under the manifold to hopefully have enough to connect to the new PMD. If your cable is stuck and you can't get enough loose it might be tangled in the injector lines. You will have to get an extension cable, they are available from SS Diesel Supply at 29.99$US. In my case mine was just enough long to get to the new PMD, but to avoid future rubbing issues from engine vibration, I'll get an extension cable.
Step 5:
With the PMD cable and ground screw disconnected, we can begin to reinstall what we removed earlier. You will need a new intake manifold gasket. You can get it from pretty much any parts store for under 10$US. The old gasket is almost certainly dried up and reusing it would be stupid because you'd almost certainly loose boost pressure. Be sure to remove the old gasket and clean the mating surfaces so the new gasket is properly seated. When reinstalling the intake manifold if you kept your old turbocharger hose, you can put gasket maker paste of silicon to make sure it has a good seal. When putting back the 6 intake manifold screws, don't put in the two on the drivers side because this is where we will put the FSD Heat-Sync.
Step 6:
This is the best and final step of this project. Go ahead and secure the FSD Heat-Sync to the Intake Manifold using the two remaining screws. Tighten the 6 Intake manifold screws progressively in a clockwise pattern. This will get the gasket seated evenly and give you a better seal. Now, simply connect the PMD cable in the new PMD and secure the ground screw to the side of the Heat-Sync using your phillips screwdriver.
Once you have completed all these steps, verify that all screws and bolts are tight and that you haven't forgotten any tools in you engine bay, and go ahead and start up your engine. For my part I noticed that the engine was much smoother and stuttered less on startup. After 1000km of driving the FSD Heat-Sync still holds and I never had anymore hard starting or random engine shut offs anymore! Keep reading because in the next post I'm putting a modified Police Lightbar on the Diesel Suburban to give some serious off road lighting!

"We don't want things to be easy for our heroes—we want to see them overcome great difficulties. She-Hulk will battle one of the greatest villains of all: scheduling."
"But She-Hulk will fight her share of giant robots and irradiated monsters, I promise," he continued.
"Charles gets the humanity of this character – this book doesn't just have superhero action, it has an emotional core that makes that action all the more meaningful," says Associate Editor Tom Brennan. "And with Javier Pulido, we have a master storyteller who brings so much to the story and gives this series a texture and a pop of energy that defines All New Marvel NOW!"
But juggling her caseload and kicking bad guy butt might be a bit more complicated than she imagines. Not to mention the growing number of supervillains she's making personal enemies of. Sure she can knock The Thing out in one punch, but this time she may have bit off more than she can chew! And that's just the start of it. Don't miss a new beginning for the jade champion of justice when SHE-HULK #1 smashes into comic shops this February!

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Need some clothing advice
Aug 20, 2006 at 2:44 pm #1219369
Last serious hike i did (my first UL) some of the clothing i wore worked for me some didn't. Most advocates of UL hiking mention here on BPL that UL-ers come to camp warmer than 'normal' hikers. In this thread i hope to learn how.
The clothing i wore on my last trip:
1/ 'Lightweight' GTX Boots B/C Category (LA Sportiva Trango Trek Micro). These didn't work. After crossing some very boggy terain (i was in the water up to my knees) they of course got wet. They than took more than a week to dry, in fact, only drying when i came home.
2/ Bridgedale Trekking socks. Worked perfect, nothing but praise for these.
3/ Fjall Raven G1000 Trousers. These are poly-coton trousers. Tougher than jeans, lighter than jeans, not very breathable. They can be waxed and supposedly become water repellant, which they don't. They are very good for hiking, but didn't work because they got wet. I'm gonna try a new waterproofer on them soon.
4/ Icebreaker Bodyfit SS, these work perfectly. I have yet to try a synth shirt yhat will keep me as comfortable as these. Yes, wool dries less quickly as compared to synth, but wool will absorb 30% of its weight in water without cooling me down. And i hate the cold-flashes in a synth shirt after hard exercise.
5/ Mammut Yukon Hood Fleece. 150/200 polartec-like fleece with hood. Works well, comfortably warm and the hood helps a lot in keeping me warm.
6/ GoLite Wisp Windshirt. It is windproof, but it doesn't really breath. I oftenly have it wetting out from the inside. The weight off course is great.
7/ Exped Bivi-Poncho, As poncho its good, as tarp a bit small. Combined with a baseball cap its a good waterproof outer shell.
I usualy hiked in Icebreaker en Mammut fleece only, the windshirt i only needed atop the hills. The boots walked perfectly even when they're wet for a week i don't get blisters. But next hike i will try quick drying shoes. The biggest problem was hiking under the poncho and holding my trekking poles. My hands got so wet and cold i couldn't unbuckle the sternum strap on my G4.
For a next hike i wanna try sth like this:
Garmont Venture Air (shoes)
Bridgedale Coolmax Liners (LW coolmax socks)
Running shorts (Spandex tights)
Icebreaker Bodyfit
Mammut fleece (or Icebreaker Sport)
GoLite Windshirt
Montane Pertex Quantum pants
Exped Poncho (or MLD poncho, which i don't have yet)My main problem with this clothing system is how warm my legs wil stay. I usually hike in fall in wet counties like Scotland in the 50's. In addition, it looks really stupid boarding a plane in running tights and i don't want to carry a set of 'normal' cloths on my hike just because i need to look normal on a plane. How do people handle this problem?
For my next hike my clothing will probably be:
Garmont Venture Air (shoes)
Bridgedale Coolmax Liners (LW coolmax socks)
Fjall Raven G1000 trousers
Icebreaker Bodyfit
Lowe Alpine Polartec Powershield Softshell (btw what's Ryan Jordans problem with softshells???)
Exped PonchoI think my question comes down to this: What clothing system will work best to keep me dry and warm when hiking in prolonged rain in temperatures in the 50's, or will work best in drying quickly and thus keeping me warm and comfortable. My main concearn about last hike were my cold hands. The weight isue isn't my biggest concearn in my choice of clothes. They should off course be light, but more importantly they should work properly.
Thanks for all info.
Aug 20, 2006 at 2:55 pm #1361429Im not sure what you mean by "come to camp warmer".
It seems like your most significant problem with staying warm and dry is persistant moisture due to less breathable fabrics and cold-wet hands.
So, I would dump those pants and maybe replace them with something along the lines of RailRider Eco-Mesh pants.
Look for a more breathable wind shirt.
Wear gloves.
Aug 20, 2006 at 5:42 pm #1361434I'm in Alaska where it has been wet & can be cold up in the mountains. What worked for me on all my numerous backpacking trips here this summer has been layers, lots of light layers. I even have a layering system for my head & hands! I find when my head & hands are dry & warm then I am warm.
Aug 20, 2006 at 8:32 pm #1361441I used waxed cotten for years and was never sure if I hit the right combination. I finally decided it worked well for a day or two but once it soaked thru I got wet. If you are hiking thru low bush I strongly recommend chaps, you can wear them over a light base layer with running shorts or whatever you need for leg insulation.
I can't speak for Ryan but my problem with softshell is it just isn't light enough compared to a base layer and nylon overshell and still too bulky and doesn't dry quickly, I do like them for climbing, mtn. biking, and crosscountry skiing but not a really light weight trip. If you do consider them look into one of the wool blends, both Ibex and Irule [new zealand] make outstanding stuff.Aug 20, 2006 at 9:47 pm #1361447Soft shells are hard to work into an UL pallet of clothing. They are great for day hiking and some climbers like them. They are heavy and don't provide much insulation, but protect from wind and light precipitation. They are ridiculously expensive for the use you can get from them.
I think waterproof boots are great for snow, but the minute you are hiking in deep water, they become buckets, as you found. Light breathable shoes and good socks are the best compromise. I'm still looking for the best UL wading shoes to avoid full wetting of my shoes.
Poncho tarps are all small compared to true tarp tents. I avoided poncho tarps because they require some sort of bivy sack to make them workable for foul weather. I started with a fully enclosed tarp like the GoLite Hut1 and used a Marmot PreCip rain jacket. When the Six Moons Design Gatewood Cape Shelter came out, I bought one immediately and set my rain jacket aside for day hiking. The Gatewood provides 360 degree protection and a bivy sack isn't needed. I find it to be comfortable and effective rain gear. The only time I might use a rain jacket instead would be for coastal hiking where the rain and wind can be heavy and constant.
As another writer said, layers are the key. With UL hiking, the game is to be able to use every last gram of your clothing. If your wind shirt doesn't work for you, get rid of it– you can't afford to have a key part of your layering system that doesn't work.
Find some 100% synthetic pants. Every cotton/poly blend I have used took a long time to dry–even in the dryer at home. Even a small amount of cotton content will increasethe drying time dramatically. The Mountain Hardwear Pack Pants are very good and there are all kinds of nylon zip-off hiking pants. Polyester running pants can be very good. Many are very wind resistant and have good water repellent properties. I'm experimenting with some bicycle wind pants I found recently. I also like the Ex Officio Amphi Pants for warm weather long pants.
My layering system works like this:
Base layer:
Silkweight polyester shirts. I like to have one short sleeve and one long sleeve. The long sleeve for camp, sleep and or sun protection. Two shirts because I will often soak one through while hiking hard.Coolmax briefs.
Silkweight polyester long johns. Use them for sleep and cold weather. Can be worn alone under rain pants or layered up with hiking pants. Substitute expedition weight long johns for colder weather– these are much like the light fleece top and are great under rain pants when it is cold and wet and great for sleeping in.
Mid layer:
Long sleeve, half-zip light fleece shirt– Powerstretch, 100 weight, or similar. I can't say enough about these tops– light, soft, warm and wicking. You can wear them next to your skin or layered up and they are excellent to sleep in. The Mountain Hardware Powerstretch Zip long sleeve top is incredible (so is the price). You can find all sorts of 100 weight fleece tops that will do the trick. EMS has one that is very good.Nylon hiking pants. Light zip-offs if any warm weather is expected. Heavier more wind-proof and water repellant ones for colder seasons.
Polyfill vest, or long sleeve pull-over for colder weather. The Patagonia Micro Puff garmets are a good example. The BMW Cocoon gear would be good for colder weather/higher elevations.Outer layer:
Breathable wind shirtRain gear:
Lightweight breathable rain pants.Hat:
Synthetic skull cap. Use for sleep and under hoods.
Wide brimmed hat with lanyard.Gloves:
Light shelled syntheticSocks:
Light Coolmax blends and heavy synthetic for camp/sleepingGaiters:
Light, short, stretchable– to keep the mud and rocks out of my shoes and the mud off the bottom of my pant legs.Miscellaneous:
Fleece scarf (winter only)Note I don't use down. My local climate is wet and I sweat– not the combination for using down! Wool makes me itch. I just tried a wicking shirt made by Outdoor Research that I assumed was all polyester. I found it really itchy and sure enough, it was 7% wool. Many of the posters here like wool blends and more power to you of you can use it. My base layers are 100% wicking polyester like Patagonia Capilene and GoLite C-Thru. Briefs and socks are Coolmax.
In use, I can take off on a morning with a short sleeve tee and wind shirt and unzip or take off the wind shirt as the temp goes up– mine or the weather. I can wear the vest alone or with the windshirt. If I were using the long sleeve insulated top I would stow the wind shirt. I can wear the long johns with the long pants and/or rain pants. The zip-off pants change as the weather and temperature changes. Sleeping gear can be long sleeve shirt and/or fleece top and long johns with skull cap, heavy socks and insulated top as needed. Shelled, lightly insulated gloves are great with trekking poles in the rain. I wear fingerless bike gloves at other times. I use a Tilley T5 hat and I've been experimenting with plastic pith helmets.
Aug 21, 2006 at 2:33 am #1361453I am amazed at the number of American Hikers that wear long pants. In NZ nobody hikes in longs and we hit some pretty ruggard terrain – too restricting – for colder weather we wear Icebreaker tights with shorts over top. This combined with gaiters is great for above the bushline.
Einstein – want to wear wool with no itch? Icebreaker or smartwool (merino) is fab. The Icebreaker T Shirt is my favourite all season piece of gear. Warm in winter/cool in summer. Yes, it takes a bit longer to dry but has no smell. I have worn one for 8 days straight and still been allowed into the pub at the end of the trip!!Aug 21, 2006 at 8:37 am #13614571/ 'Lightweight' GTX Boots B/C Category (LA Sportiva Trango Trek Micro). These didn't work. After crossing some very boggy terain (i was in the water up to my knees) they of course got wet. They than took more than a week to dry, in fact, only drying when i came home.
I avoid Gore Tex boots for these very reasons. My feet sweat in them and once they get wet, they are wet for the rest of the trip. I prefer an all leather boot without gore tex so that my feet don't sweat as bad and if they do get wet, they will dry overnight at camp.
Aug 21, 2006 at 9:12 am #1361462"I am amazed at the number of American Hikers that wear long pants."
My gear list is always arranged for three season use, with adjustments for Winter and Summer (northern hemisphere). The only reasons I would be wearing long pants in Summer would be extreme bugs, nasty brush like nettles and devil's club, or just plain cold, windy, rainy mucky days. Zip off pants are really nice for bridging the extremes of season or the days where the temp can swing from 40F to 80F. It is not uncommon in the Pacific NW to find yourself "wading" through brush covered in dew in the morning, soaking everything from your elbows down. I've been on little used trails in steep stream valleys where the brush didn't dry out until after noon. Of course it was warm enough to make rain gear a sweaty option. It's like walking through a car wash!
Fall and Spring hiking can be 45F and rainy/muddy and shorts are a little too cool.

Don't forget the skunk cabbage, slugs, yellow jackets— and rattlesnakes from the East side of the Cascades. I'm sure the Kiwi's have their own natural torments (aside from visting Yanks).
Aug 21, 2006 at 11:44 am #1361471Farther north we deal with the real loss of core temperature due to ice water running across bare skin all day. I wear shorts in the snow if I'm hot enough but in 24-hour cold-wind-and-rain scenarios it's long pants all the way.
Aug 22, 2006 at 12:08 pm #1361511Any part of your body that stays in constant contact with wet material is going to contribute to core heat loss. That's when your extremities will get cold. Your hands were cold because your body was trying to compensate for loss of heat through your legs by shifting your blood flow to your legs. Ditch everything cotton from your clothing lists except for a bandana. Like others have suggested, try nylon convertible pants. I use a lightweight pair of REI pack pants I picked up off eBay for a few bucks. A pair of bargain store nylon track pants will work well too. You don't need a pair of $150 Arc'Teryx Schoeller pants to get the job done.
Another very effective way to boost your core temp is by using a thin fleece or merino wool hat. If your hands or feet are cold, throw the hat on. Also, pick up some 100wt fleece or Smartwool gloves. That should do the trick.
As for shoes, ditch the leather boots and try lightweight trail runners. After hearing such great things about Salomon trail runners, I've picked up some XA Pro 3D's and they're great. They have almost entirely mesh uppers. I can totally submerge my feet, soaking them completely through, and be 95% dry in just an hour or so of hiking (wearing thin Smartwool socks).
Aug 22, 2006 at 5:07 pm #1361522I'd argue that his hands were cold because they were wet and not protected from wind or the temperature, not because of the "body making up for heat loss from the legs" theory. The legs generate so much heat while hiking and the arms generate nearly none…that's about all there is to it to me. Putting on a waterproof down hat would not have helped his hands. He's got to cover them up and keep them dry and then maybe they will stay warm.
Aug 23, 2006 at 7:29 am #1361547First of all many thanx to all the good info thus far. I think it's useful for this thread to state that i'm not a rookie in outdoor gear. I have been selling it in outdoor stores for five years all ready. Mainly I wonder about the difference in clothing between a normal backpacker and an UL backpacker. These differences are clear when you look at normal gear: tent vs tarp, frame less pack vs frame pack.
@ JR: those pants look nice; i'm considering a rab wind shirt [1] vs the GoLite, it's pertex quantum so that should breathe much better, shouldn't it; hmmmm the dilemma of having cold hands for 5 hours on a 16 day trip vs the extra weight. Thanx.
@ Larry and Dale: I like my soft shell because of it's superb breathability as compared to a windstopper membrane. Mine is very thin and weighs 14 oz. I can ware it N2S or over my icebreaker shirt. But i've never used it on a hike before, so i don't know if it'll work as promised.
@ Dale: That Six Moons Design Gatewood Cape Shelter looks great! And $ 110 isn't much. Another dilemma, do i buy this cape or an GG Whisper first? How does this cape cope with perspiration? My poncho isn't breathable at all, but it being wide provides ample ventilation. By the look of it the cape is less open so i guess it's less ventilating?
I guess what i should look for in a pair of hiking pants, is quick drying instead of (temporary) waterproofness as in a waxed poly-cotton pants? Wouldn't i be cold as well, hiking in the rain in wet pants?
As hat and or face cover i use two Buffs, very useful pieces of gear and the most versatile (except maybe for my swiss army knife). Amazingly warm for such thin pieces of material.
I'm also thinking about using a Tiley hat.@ Robin McKay: I already own three Icebreakers. They're perfect, my absolute first choice in base layer. And if i have about € 130 lying about with nothing to do i'll spend it on an IB Sport. I wore mine for 16 days in a row :D
@ Russel Swanson: The XA pro's are on my thinks-I-want-but-dont-have-money-for-yet list. At the next hike i'll try my Garmonts, they're also very open and breathable, though a bit slow to dry.
If you arrive at camp with your very wet XA pro's, do they dry overnight when it's in the 40's at night and very humid?So far i haven't heard much difference in what i already knew and what you're telling. It's probably a good idea to ditch the poly-cotton trousers. I have been thinking on replacing them with soft shell trousers like the Patagonia Guide Pants, but the general consensus is more in quick drying than waterproof i think.
And to keep my hands warm gloves might work, although i do wonder how often i'd end up using them. Like i said above, i only needed them for 5 hours in 16 days (!),
[5h / (16 x 24)] x 100% = 1,3 % of the time.
But my hands were very cold…………
Thanx so far.
Aug 23, 2006 at 8:17 am #1361554I've only had the shoes in temps over 55 degrees so I can't answer your question for certain. At high humidity and temps 55 and over, yes they dry completely. A better source might be Ryan Faulkner, he seems to have quite a bit of experience with the XA Pro's.
And, as for heat loss from parts of the body leading to cooling of the extremities, this is not a theory.
As the human body attempts to combat heat loss, it limits the flow of warm blood to the extremities by restricting blood flow to them.Put on a fleece hat. A hood is not going to be as effective. Give it a shot and if it doesn't help, you've spent very little money.

I'm also thinking about using a Tiley hat."The Gatewood Cape goes over my pack and drapes loosely and ventilation hasn't been a problem. I don't find much difference between it and a poncho with the sides snapped. I haven't hiked with it in a blow, but I expect it could use a peice of cord for a belt to minimze flapping. If is far more ventialted than any rain jacket. When hiking, your arms are exposed from just below your elbow and at my height (5'10"), it hits me about mid-shin.
Most folk recommend getting the UL items before the UL pack. I put all my UL gear in a Jansport external frame pack and it was like there was nothing there.On pants, I like nylon for durability, drying and cost. Polyester has a better hand (feel) and I've used some New Balance running/wind pants that were really comfrotable and good on the DWR side too. In a long duration or heavy rain I would just add rain pants. Shorts, chaps, or long gaiters would be other approaches. If I knew it was going to be a long nasty day with cold and rain, silkweight long johns and rain pants make a good combo– the cold fabric is off your skin and the long johns add good wicking.
Aug 25, 2006 at 12:23 pm #1361677>By the look of it the cape is less open so i guess it's less ventilating?
It's not bad. I was hiking in it the other day in calm 75F weather (as a test) and I wasn't sweating very much more than I was without. With the large neck collar open, a lot of heat pumps up through it as you walk. I'm very pleased with the Gatewood Cape, both as raingear and shelter.
> I haven't hiked with it in a blow, but I expect it could use a peice of cord for a belt to minimze flapping.
I hooked an Ursalite mini-biner through the rear stake-out loop. When it gets windy, I pull the 'biner between my legs and clip one of the front stake-out loops. It reduces flapping quite a bit while still allowing full ventilation, and it keeps the bottom from flying up. (A belt would stop ventilation and wouldn't keep the bottom down.)
Sep 2, 2006 at 9:32 am #1362235>> I haven't hiked with it in a blow, but I expect it could use a peice of cord for a belt to minimze flapping.
>(A belt would stop ventilation and wouldn't keep the bottom down.)
I got to thinking a bit more about this. I don't like the idea of wrapping a cord as a belt for the reasons I stated above. But the Gatewood Cape is constructed a bit differently than most ponchos: it has those snaps on the inside that are used to hitch up the long sides when used as rain gear. (Aside: I tied an overhand knot in the 6″ stake-out loops, and not only does this allow me the additional choice of 3″ stake-out loops, it's much easier to snap around the 3″ loop lines than the grossgrain ribbon loops.)
My GossamerGear SpinnChaps come with a stretchy cord as a belt. I pulled the Cape's snaps up a bit and snapped them around the SpinnChaps belt, and this seems like it will hold the sides up a bit more and keep them from flapping, without reducing the ventilation very much. I haven't tried this in the field yet, and I'll still use the 'biner to keep the front and back from flapping, but using a piece of (stretchy) cord _inside_ the Cape as a belt appears to be a good compromise if it is flapping too much.
Sep 8, 2006 at 12:05 pm #1362647I really like a soft shell pant to hike in when it is cool/cold or damp out. They dry plent fast when I get to camp and toss a WP breathable over them, and provide just enough insulation while hiking to keep the chill away, even when wet. You can further add your lightweight bottoms under your pants to then put a rain pant (breathable) over them, the dry layer next to your skin will feel more pleasent and trap more heat, then it's all up to the effectiveness of your breathable pants and body heat to push the moisture out.
The Patagonia talus pant will be a fair bit lighter than the Guide pant, and dries very quickly, with all the recent changes in the Patagonia line, I'm not positive it is still made, but is a good choice.
A light shell mitten can help a lot in keeping the wind ( convective heat loss) off your hands and creats a micro climate to help keep hand warm – they may however still be damp, but better damp and warm than wet and cold!
I would stay away from any cotton/poly blend for all the reasons stated above.
And I agree that quick drying is better than absolute water proofness, of course there is always a balance there too.

Seemingly bizarre memory management in Mountain Lion
I've got a 2009 MacBook that I'm working with using Mountain Lion. This unit is dual boot, one volume being Mountain Lion, and the other being Snow Leopard. The system only has 2G of RAM in it. Please don't give me a "lecturette" on more memory, that's not what this post is about.
When I installed Mountain Lion, I quite honestly expected to see a lot of problems (the install was done about 2 weeks ago, so this isn't an initial release). I heard of lock ups, USB drive problems, and the thing being a memory hog, which is what this post is about. As an FYI, it seems to work well. I use Activity Monitor to monitor CPU and memory consumption. Mountain Lion seems to be doing a pretty good job of pushing the memory limits of the system, whereas Snow Leopard looks like there's tons of free memory always available. FWIW, I typically use XCode 3.X and 4.X, Safari, and Mail - these are running all the time. Now for the oddity. I use Snow Leopard the same way. If I look at the memory consumption using Activity Monitor it will often show a fair amount of free memory, but the page outs count over time seems to show megabytes. Mountain Lion, on the other hand, often shows (seriously) next to no free memory, but the page outs show absolutely 0, and that's after hours of use. This seems bizarre to me. How is it that Mountain Lion can apparently eat up every byte of memory on the system and yet not be swapping as much as Snow Leopard. I know the page outs for Snow Leopard aren't that excessive considering that it occurs after hours of use, but why a 0 bytes for Mountain Lion when there's apparently next to no free memory available. This seems really weird to me. Has Apple, by chance, allocated part of the memory to a RAM disk, and that's why the swap is so low and the memory consumption so high? Also, while I'm at it, why is mds such a total memory wart hog all of a sudden? Even on Lion it seemed to only be a memory wart hog when Spotlight indexing was occurring, now it's a memory wart hog all the time. Has mds been "promoted" to handle iCloud events, and now it needs 250M of memory (or more???) Thanks in advance. |
I'm not sure how much you know about virtual memory systems, so if the explanation below is a little too basic, I'm not trying to dismiss you. It's just that Apple's naming of the terms (which indeed follows UNIX standard) is confusing certain users, who then think that they have to manually "free" memory.
UNIX has developed in a sometimes surprising way - if a system component is important, it makes sense to optimize that component like crazy to improve performance. On the other hand, if a system component is highly optimized and efficient, it makes sense to make as much use of it as possible. This has happened with the virtual memory system - it is now used to include all disk cache functions (and indeed, that happened long before the first version of Mac OS X). What you are seeing is that Lion/Mountain Lion is much more aggressive about using RAM as disk cache than Snow Leopard and earlier was, while simultaneously keeping things in RAM that would have been paged out in earlier versions of the OS. Memory pages (the smallest unit of memory that the virtual memory system bothers to organize) can be marked as one of four things: Wired (always resident in RAM - must not ever be paged to disk, or the system might crash), Active (currently used - should not be paged to disk, as that will hurt performance, but it can be done without crashing), Inactive (not currently used - can be paged to disk without a significant loss of performance, but kept around in case it might be useful) and Free (really free - can be reused immediately). Apple exposes these labels in Activity Monitor, which is fine, but the confusing bit is that it labels Wired+Active+Inactive as Used. It would be more honest to only say that Wired+Active is "Currently in use" and that Inactive+Free is "Available" or something like that. Inactive memory is a good thing! - the more Inactive memory you have, the better the OS is at making use of the RAM it has. The situation is further complicated by the fact that there appears to be an issue in Lion where the OS is a bit too aggressive about keeping things as Inactive instead, causing slowdowns when there is no Free memory left for usage. The bug appears on low memory configurations and is at least more common on Macs with integrated graphics (in use or not - an MBP with discrete graphics also switches to the integrated variety to save energy). I have never seen a good analysis of what really happens, but in any case it seems to be fixed on Mountain Lion. TL;DR: If you don't have performance problems, don't worry about it. |
I'm surprised you're not seeing more effective memory usage in SL, especially with only 2GB. SL on my iMac has no problem utilizing all available memory.
P: I'm an old Unix geek. That's why I switched to OS X. I used to be a devotee of Linux and FreeBSD (I still like both of them, but they're not primary OSes for me anymore.) About 10+ years ago I was shopping for a laptop to hold Windoze along with a FreeBSD and Linux partition. I heard that OS X was more or less a castrated version of BSD, but when I came across an iBook, I popped open a Terminal.app session and realized it was an actual, true BSD variant. Initially I used a really old (now) iBook as a client, and eventually the user interface plus the fact that I could still use X-Windows on it won me over (I used to do X-Windows development.)
In any case, your comment:
Additionally, your comment:
The process, or should I say changes to the process, are with mds. mds used to more or less remain stagnant and then become more memory intensive during indexing (via the presence of mdworker threads.) On previous OS X versions, mds would, from a memory standpoint, go down to almost nothing, but on Mountain Lion it's using, at least on my system 230MB+ real memory, whereas, on Snow Leopard it's 1/5th that or less, with no mdworker threads present. Do you, by chance, know if mds has been assigned new responsibilities? I'm a fan of Scannerz because it can detect hardware faults. Scannerz disables spotlight indexing either through a forked process to mdutil or somehow in code (you can check this by starting the program at which point mdutil indicates Spotlight indexing is disabled, but mds is still alive). At one point they had a version that actually unloaded mds but when I called their tech support, they stated that preferences couldn't be modified so they canned it - this tells me that mds is being used more than for Spotlight indexing, and now it has me wondering if this doesn't have something to do with added responsibilities for mds - like monitoring iCloud activity. As an FYI, I've noticed that Spotlight on Mountain Lion seems much more aggressive on it as opposed to Lion and Snow Leopard. mduell: Trust me guy - I can get this ML system to eat up every byte of memory available if I want to. For example, when I was using the system as I normally do, which I suspect is light by many people's standards, all I needed to do was bring up XCode 4 and suddenly the page out count skyrocketed. A fair number of users are doing a lot more memory intensive work with their systems - like video editing or gaming. I have an iMac running SL as my primary machine (I LOVE SL - sorry Apple:lol:) and with XCode 3.X, no page outs at all. I have yet to figure out why some page outs seem to occur when the memory isn't showing any signs of even being remotely full - now that to me is a little strange. IMO, 2GB of RAM for Mountain Lion won't cut it. You can get by with it, but it won't cut it. It's kind of like running an iBook @500MHz with 640M of RAM with Tiger - it will do the job, just not very fast. |
The Mac OS X UNIX userland is based on FreeBSD, and the guy who was in charge of it for many years is Jordan Hubbard, previously FreeBSD Core. Now he has been promoted up the ladder a notch, so I'm not sure what his responsibilities are exactly, but some of the innovations in OS X in later years, such as the launchd setup, always felt very BSD-y to me. The kernel, xnu, is nothing like BSD, but the userland organization is a lot like it - and if anything is missing, it's easy enough to install.
mds is the metadata server. It was introduced with Spotlight, but it was always more general in design than just that - it was made to be used by other things. What is using it now, I don't know. Versions, maybe? It could also be that they're simply optimizing towards minimizing disk access rather than low memory usage. Note that Spotlight was introduced in 10.4, which had a system requirement of 256 MB RAM - Apple may simply have decided that increased performance was worth some more memory usage. You're right about the RAM req. 2GB is not really enough. I'm glad that Apple finally bumped the floor on the Macs to 4GB (the MBA was 2GB for a very long time). |
Real memory is meaningless, it includes shared libs. You have to look at private mem usage.
Also I'm not convinced about the accuracy of your statements about SL mds memory usage; I show 547MB private with 0 CPU usage and not many file changes/indexings going on. |
I have never seen mds use any more than 100MB on Snow Leopard. That doesn't mean it can't happen. I disregard virtual memory usage when reading memory usage. Mountain Lion can, on the other hand show 50M in real memory one minute, and 20 minutes later be pushing 400MB, and this is all occurring without indexing occurring.
It just seems strange to me. I have to wonder what it's doing. |

In particular, a leaf of laurel placed under the pillow was believed to be a cure for failing inspiration: pure poetical Viagra. Sadly, this rarely helped the poets laureate, most of whom were written out even before taking on the role.
The story usually begins with Ben Jonson, given a pension by James I after he had written a number of flattering court masques. On Jonson's death in 1637, it was 16 months before Sir John Davenant, who lost his nose to disease at around the same time, was awarded the title. His devotion is an example to modern claimants: he fought for Charles I in the Civil War, nose or no nose, later re-emerging as laureate to Charles II. His poetry, though, was unreadable. It was only with John Dryden, in 1668, that the poet laureate became an established royal post. But Dryden backed the wrong side in the Glorious Revolution, and was summarily replaced by Thomas Shadwell, the start of a century of nonentities. Laureates were now obliged to produce odes at New Year and on royal birthdays, to be set to music.
Until the advent of Romanticism, poets wrote to order, and few proved averse to well-paid hack work. But then they discovered the need for inspiration and soon were unable to do that kind of thing at all. Bowing to the inevitable, Queen Victoria did away with all the obligations attached to the honour when appointing Wordsworth in 1843, three years before his death.
There is, however, still an expectation that the laureate will produce commemorative poems for royal and state events. Tennyson produced lots, but then he produced lots of everything. So did John Masefield, less convincingly.

Executing MySQL Stored Procedures from SQL Server
If you ever need to call a MySQL procedure from SQL Server it's fairly simple thanks to ODBC and Linked Servers. This will allow you to reuse any logic already invested in MySQL Stored Procedures saving you from rewriting them. Here's a simple example on how you can do it;
- Create the following procedure in your MySQL 'test' database.
DELIMITER $$ DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `test`.`usp_test`$$ CREATE PROCEDURE `test`.`usp_test`() LANGUAGE SQL DETERMINISTIC SQL SECURITY INVOKER COMMENT 'Test Procedure returns the numbers 1-5' BEGIN SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5; END$$ DELIMITER ; |
- Configure your MySQL Server as a Linked Server in SSMS. Plenty of guides on the net about this so I won't repeat it here. Here's a good one.
If you get the following message
Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Server 'MYSQL' is not configured for RPC.
You need to change the Linked Server property "RPC Out" to true.
- Once your Linked Server has been configured correctly you're ready to go. Execute the following T-SQL in SSMS.
EXEC('CALL test.usp_test()') AT MYSQL; |
In fact the EXEC can be used to run any MySQL specific command. All the following will work;
EXEC('SHOW TABLES') AT MySQL; -- Show the tables in the current database EXEC('SHOW SLAVE STATUS') AT MySQL; -- Show Slave status info (if applicable) EXEC('SHOW DATABASES') AT MySQL; -- Show the accessible databases EXEC('SHOW CREATE TABLE mysql.user') AT MySQL; -- Show the SQL used to create mysql.users |
MySQL Linked Servers work pretty solidly with SQL Server and allow complex integrations between systems to happen reasonably easily. So if your needs are simple there's no need to resort to an additional layer like SSIS if it's going to complicate your environment.

After, there will post final, or maybe thought something
new and post here.
Still same idea for the footprint, but used Richard small image idea |
Show work in progress and explain my working process.
First, we should know the word "grounded" what it is meaning as the word, it has so many meaning. Grounded is said of truth or ground realities which have been established or proved and which have been in existence for a long period of time. A child or a teenager is grounded by his or her parents as a form of punishment. Grounding a child or teenager is defined as placing restrictions (for a short period of time) on the normal movements or privileges he or she is entitled to. A person is said to be grounded if he is down to earth and does not have an ego problem.
Grounded is said of truth or ground realities which have been established or proved and which have been in existence for a long period of time. |
week 1 "grounded" artist chosen introduction |
Richard Gates
This smallish 1954 hardcover, discarded by the Hamilton School Board library department, is the sort of thing that really transports me back to Grade One. The crinkle of the plastic-wrapped dust jacket, the smell of aging glue and paper, and most importantly, Richard Gates' stylized illustrations, all remind me of when I first glimpsed, through books like this, an impossibly perfect Davey-and-Goliath world that seemed to have existed a decade before my birth.
Gates employs an interesting technique I haven't been able to entirely figure out. Is it part crayon resist? Part silk screen? Watercolour with drizzled rubber cement?
Whatever it is, he manages to achieve a lot of fantastic colour layering that needs to be seen at full size to be truly appreciated.
Of course, there's absolutely no information to be found on Richard Gates, but the back flap of the dust jacket suggests he illustrated quite few "True Book(s) of..." for Childrens Press of Chicago so with any luck, I may turn up more of his unique and wonderful work.
Why that image inspired you
Used small image to the front, and large image to the
background, this idea inspired me, and the idea easy knows what the idea,
what's the target to. Also, at first you need to catch the eyes. And to see the
small image as much as like logo first, and then go though the background, we
find what they want to say, to send massage. There it stronger eye contrast,
eye follows.
What aspects of that artist's work you intend to
incorporate in your own efforts
His idea it is more powerful and useful for many design
works, the idea to use small image to the front and large image to the
background, catch you eyes at a point, and go though the point, we seen the big
picture, as he want to say "trees give us fruits." I think I have learned
it is this idea, I would think how to use it in some project.

what would you want to buy or do next, in your home?"

OMG you always crack me up girl! As an above averaged size woman myself I can totally relate. When we gutted our bathroom I told my husband a soaking tub was in order. I love it! If I hit the lotto I'll hook a sista up! If money was no object for us I'd totally build a 2 car garage with a bonus room & another bathroom. I'm not asking too much huh? I love this post & might even borrow the idea for a blog post myself! Thanks for always keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!! Okay I probably should be sleeping right now, but instead I find myself laying in bed going through my blog roll and couldn't resist this GREAT read. : ) I Loved the whole bathtub analysis... Because it is do VERY true.. However on my want list... That would be a lovely old Farmhouse... I would even take a fixer upper.. ;) Okay, I guess it's off to bed now so I can DREAM!!!! ;)
ReplyDelete**** or slouching down in an uncomfortable, very NON-attractive turtle-like tuck, with feet creeping up the opposite wall, while periodically swishing water over the sticky-out parts of your body that don't make it into the warm water.
OH my gosh I about died when I read this part! So stinking funny...funny...funny.
I have a pile of money sitting in my bank account that I have been saving to put into my house and I don't know what to do with it. I am so overwhelmed. I don't even know where to start. My walls are bare, I need furniture. I pretty much live in an empty box but I can't decide where to start.
It is so depressing.
Boo!!!Floors, definitely new floors. We have several cats and they have taken a toll on our carpet. I'd love to have acid-etched, polished concrete on the entire lower level, but it takes a ton of prepwork, and sometimes requires an entirely new slab be poured.
Next, it would be a Garaj Mahal. We have lots of toys; roadbikes, motorcycles, mountain bikes, camping and hunting gear...and there's room in our garage for everything except the cars. I'd love to be able to store all our toys AND keep our cars out of the elements.
Oh, and I'm in love with the farmhouse sinks, too. Love the outdoors, also, but we spend a lot of time outdoors (with the aforementioned toys).Haha! So true. I'm a teeny person and I still feel regular tubs are too small! I'm 5'4 and weigh 105 and it doesn't fit me very well at all. So amen! I DEFINITELY want a claw foot tub in my next home! I've already addressed the issue with the husband so it may just be a reality down the road. :)
ReplyDeleteBaha! You crack me up! I seriously desire to take a bath like nothing else. I mean I take showers daily don't get that mistaken...but I mean soak and take a bath. When your a chub's of a girl like me there's no point to it, the water only comes up halfway! Yet I watch as my husband & 2 boys take baths all the time and my heart aches for the quiet relaxing moment with a cup of tea and a book to sit and bathe. That's why I get so excited when we go to a hotel with a hot tub, it's like a giant bathtub that actually fit's me! ;D
ReplyDeleteOMG! I was seriously dying of laughter reading number three!! I thought I was the only one who had a problem with these crazy small tubs! You described it so perfectly, down to the last four inches and extra "covering" washcloths! lol... I LOVE THIS! ~Oh, and I'm new to following your blog, but it is so my favorite! You are such a trip and its so much fun to read what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteSince I've been living in apartments for at least 10 years I'ce had some time to think about this... Apartment living is the WORSE!
#1- A BIG kitchen to host family holidays! I want to do all the cooking, decorating and hosting for our extended family to have sit-down meals.
#2- A closet that houses all the beautiful clothes, shoes and handbags I will eventually invest in.
#3- A killer bathroom with an awesome bathtub and shower SEPERATLY with fantastic water pressure.
These are just 3 things... I could go on and on........Oh I've spent many a day daydreaming about the things I'd do to spruce up my little home if only I had the moolah! A fence? Why yes, I would take one of those for my fur babies! I've always dreamed of a sunroom, oh just the thought fills me with dreamy decor ideas. Off that sunroom I'd have a spectacular deck with all the landscape trimmings and super spa-like pool to boot- since we are dreaming, of course! A new "white" kitchen with one of those farmhouse sinks too, please! And all wood floors throughout the house. Lastly, to make the hubs happy we would build him another two car garage for all his man-toys! Whew! Are you sorry you asked, now?!?
ReplyDeleteI SOOO totally agree with you on the ENTIRE tub thing. I was giggling to myself about the covering yourself up with washclothes...so do that! lol I would close in our carport for our 4 girls to have a play/rec room all to there own (and I'd get those toys out of my house). And because we have such a long driveway, I'd then add another carport off the front of the old one. :) Easy DIY right there...don't ya think?!?
ReplyDeleteI 110% agree with you about the tub!! Especially right now! I'm nine months pregnant and the thought of a bath sounds great to ease the pressure off my back; but the reality is my belly (and other parts) just stick out and it becomes a big waste of time and hot water.
I would also replace all the flooring in my house to some beautiful hardwood! SWOON!
And lastly I would redo the backyard. Arizona is beautiful right now. I would love to be taking advantage of the weather before it gets to be scorching HOT!i have to agree with all 3 of your choices! the really sad thing is that i have a screened in porch on my house that has the potential to look just like the one pictured. i just haven't been inclined to make it look like that. it has become such a dumping ground for EVERYTHING! right now it's crammed full of garbage, recycling, snow boots and ski pants, stuff to go to goodwill, dog and cat food and our new baby chicks. maybe this summer i will make it my project! here's a question...maybe i can get your opinion...my screened in porch is between my house and my garage. the walls of the screened in area are actually the siding of both buildings. should they be the same color as the siding of the rest of the house? we are in the process of painting our house and i feel like doing something crazy out there...will my hubs let me get away with it is the real question???
ReplyDeleteMy wishes are exactly the same!!! We have a great patio but it is broken up by a semi-wall type Thing that makes furniture purchasing unnecessarily hard. Our master bath is taken over by a ridiculously large - mostly unusable - linen closet that would beautifully accommodate a claw foot soaking tub. And our kitchen leaves much to be desired. What did we spend our money on - new windows - that had to be replaced twice within 6 months of being installed - fortunately for Andersen windows, it was a problem specific to our Adobe (aka overpriced mud) home. sigh - maybe when the windows are paid off??
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my farmhouse sink! It was literally the first thing I bought when we decided to build a house (we bought a sink and built a house around it!) I found it at a bath supply warehouse sale for get this....$200! (I looked up the make and model later and it was a $1000 sink) It even is a double sink so it fits our needs perfectly. Only downside is that metal items leave gray marks (like on your dinner plates).
I've seen farmhouse sinks used in laundry rooms too, so maybe if you can't convince Cason to put one in the kitchen maybe you can get it more easily into the laundry room...Oh I love you, you make me laugh so hard! I agree 100%! There are 2 reasons we bought our builder grade condo...the really awesome deep soaking tub, and the door bell...yes, the door bell. My husband is a Gerd (Geek/Nerd) the door bell on this place is that awesome. I sympathize with your love of farmhouse sinks, yes my own sink works perfectly, but lets face it, farmhouse sinks although harder to care for are just prettier. That leads me to what I would love, to bring the top of my awkwardly tall fire place (this thing is 6ft tall in a 8ft tall room) all the way up to the ceiling and put a gorgeous mantle on it. Second buy the largest capacity washer and dryer and faboo out my laundry room (I hate laundry). That's it, I don't even need a third.
ReplyDeleteDitto on the outdoor space (either sun room or screened in) so I can sit and feel the warmth and the sun without sitting out there getting sun burned and a soaking tub where I can really soak and where I don't have to scrub all the kid dirt away before getting in. Add to it an awesome finished basement where either the kids can go or us parents can go and hide away from them!
ReplyDeleteI just had to comment. I laughed so hard about the tub. I have been fighting my builder grade tub for 16 years now. We just finished remodeling our bath and I now have a soaking tub. Only those of us who have experienced the covering yourself with wash cloths to keep warm could understand how heavenly this new tub is. I knew you would understand. I hope someday for you to experience it too.
BrookeYou described my feelings about the outdoors/camping/hiking exactly. I get embarrassed admitting I have those feelings, especially living in Utah. People look at me like I'm un-American or something. haha But I totally agree with you about needing outdoor living space! My dream is to have a huge wrap-around porch where I can sit out on a rocking chair and enjoy the beautiful Utah scenery. :)
ReplyDeleteOmg...you had me laughing out loud reading your description of trying to soak in the tub...but, I was laughing because I can relate to every single word you wrote...lol!
As for my wish list, my top three big ticket items would be to side our house, replace all of our windows and replace every square inch of flooring! Unfortunately, looks like it will be a while before all of those are accomplished. So for now, I'll have to be content with things like painting my walls and replacing window coverings.My top three things would be...
#1 - Paint our exterior brick white! Right now it is some sort of blonde and this pinkish-salmon color mixed brick. It's gross.
#2 - Extend our garage out about 10-15 feet and create extra storage inside.
#3 - Finish all of our interior remodel projects!!!! (that's like 1,098 in one) Oh well...its a fantasy question so my answer counts, right? lol
I enjoy reading your blog, btw and never commented before. So, hi! :)
Have a good one.
Candiare we twins??? you crack me up so bad! our last house had the same tub problem....it was WEIRD - and that was before i had kids & was 'petite' - HA!! your wish list is exactly same as mine! YUM for all those images - thank you for sharing and making me laugh today honey! xo
www.NorthernCottage.netA new kitchen! Right now I have a tiny galley cave that only allows one person at time to be in there. The entrance to the cave is only wide enough to let the fridge door open because across from it is a brick chimeny that runs from the basement to the roof and it's not even functional anymore. The oven is so small it can't hold a turkey and the door is broken. All the drawer fronts are breaking off and they've been fixed so many times that they are no longer fixable. I have dreams about my large new kitchen. It's white with marble countertops and lots of natural light. It's a beautiful happy place. One day I'll have it. One day.
ReplyDeleteI love your list- I long for many of those things too~ Especially the outdoor living space. I had to laugh about your description of the soaking tub though. When we were remodeling (TOTAL gut job!) the upstairs of our home, I was 9 months preggo when it came time to pick out the tub.... yep! I got an EXTRA deep/long tub! I was sitting in all the tubs and barely able to get out of them... I'm sure other people were staring, but I didn't care- I wanted a good tub! I never regretted it!
If I was to dream, I'd just like a new house... with a garage.An outdoor living space, all the way! With an almost three year old boy we spend lots of time in our back yard. This year we are finally pouring a concrete patio and buying/making some fabulous furniture in which to sit and relax.
Thanks for the laugh on the tub soaking visual. While I don't have a builder grade tub (I'm assuming you wouldn't call a 50 year old tub 'builder grade'), what I do have is certainly on the small size. I would love to be able to stretch my long legs in a hot, soapy bath for once, as opposed to propping them up on the opposing wall.You made me completely homesick with the clawfoot tub. My dad found one at a junk yard many many moons ago that he repainted and fixed up (complete with the claw feet too) and installed it in our basement bathroom that is the spa like bathroom. Everytime I go home I grab a great book, a good drink, candles and go in that bathroom for at least a couple of hours. Junk yards, auctions, estate sales etc are great places to find claw foot bath tubs by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteYou about made me blow my morning milk out my nose with your bath tub description I was laughing so hard! I'm six feet tall so I can only soak half of body at a time, its the worst. I would have a fenced in backyard with a playset for my kids and would put a covering over the patio so we could enjoy sitting outside in the rain and here in Seattle it rains a lot.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! You totally had me laughing out loud about the bathtub situation! We have one of those smaller than average, builder's grade tubs in our bathroom too. A few days ago I was sicker than a dog and just wanted nothing more than to soak in a hot bathtub. Well, let's just say my legs got a nice relaxing soak. My husband brought me a cup of tea to enjoy and said, "Our next house is going to have a huge soaking tub in it!" Oh how I love that man! So, I'm with you on #3...I understand and I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that farmhouse sink and I'm totally with you on the luxurious outdoor living room. Making one (on a budget) for our back porch is one of my goals for the summer. There's so much great stuff out there but it is SO expensive!!
... but we are lucky enough to have a sweet soaking tub already installed in the master bathroom :)Hate to be a debbie downer, BUT. We had a huge soaking tub at our last house (big enough for two). I had to climb inside of it to clean it. There wasn't enough hot water for a long winter soak, so a tankless water heater is a necessity (and there were only two of us). UGH. Also, you will probably have to reinforce the floor if you decide on one. We built our house and i WISH I would have gone with the regular old clawfoot tub. Lesson Learned.
Sold the house and I sure do NOT miss it!P.s. the house we decided to purchase is a 1930's english tudor with no updates...love it. I have noticed, however, that the bathtub is rather narrow..so I'm going to have to stick to this diet or I won't fit (and I'm average sized!!! I'm guessing the lady of the house was a size TWO? Double UGH!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan you stand one more post, lol? We built a beautiful deck with pergola and our neighbors installed a paver patio. Yes, they spent $30,000 to our $10,000...BUT while they're lounging around their patio, we had to scrub the deck, power wash the deck and seal the deck. Next time around, I'm going for the patio. And those trex decks? Still a heckuva lot of maintenance. I don't think I really need a patio, just a nice hammock under my trees with my *pool wanna be boy* bringing me cold cocktails. Now that's livin'!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I was literally laughing out loud at your description of trying to take a bath in the same kind of tub we have because I feel the exact same way. I can only laugh when I was told I should relax in a nice bath during my pregnancy. Yeah, my pregnant belly sticking up out of the water and my 5'9'' body all scrunched up in there. Would LOVE a huge garden tub in our home too!
ReplyDelete- StephanieNovember 8, 2012 at 6:55 AM
We'd totally redo our master bath. We have a giant corner tub but not enough hot water to fill it, and a teeny tiny shower. We'd like a regular tub (or maybe soaking tub after totally relating to your description above) and a gi-normous shower! But, like you, don't see that happening in this house.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and comments. We truly love and appreciate each one!

These exceptionally nice vintage cuff links are goldtone with raised black motif of fleur de lis against textured basketweave background. They are 7/8" diameter. Each cuff link is thicker on one side than the other as it was intentionally designed. Each is signed "Shields". They are in great working order with very slight signs of use. They have a modern, sophisticated look. The photos do not do them justice as they are much better looking in person. Would make a great gift for Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, etc.
Note: In French, fleur de lis literally means "lily flower".

However, the emotion of the moment will always take precedence over common sense. Especially when you know that your opponent is gambling. I got caught the other night. The game was Omaha high low, the four-card version of Hold 'em. I was dealt Ac-As-6c-8d, which is a good but not great hand, and raised before the flop.
Ali, a player who had never sat in this game before, though an experienced high stakes punter, called. Out came 3-4-Q off-suit. He checked. I did not want to get involved and checked along, because Ali is the kind of player who is looking to check raise and get all his money in if he can. Next card was a 9. Now he bet a hefty pounds 70.
Ali: x x x x
Flop: 3-4-Q-9
Dave: A-A-6-8
Although I wanted to fold, I was sure I was best. There was no low yet (an eight or better low is needed for the low hand), and no straight and no flush yet (at Omaha a player must use two cards from the four in his hand). Ali was flashing his hole cards to a couple of friends sitting beside him, giving the impression he had a draw, rather than a made hand such as trips or two pairs. I had not seen a decent hand in an hour and now I had the aces. Any pair on board or a high card will do it for me, and leave him with nothing. So I called. Last up-card was a seven and Ali bet his last chips - pounds 28.
I was sure he had hit his hand to make a low. Did he have any kind of high as well? If he had four low cards, as I thought, it was likely he had made a straight to the seven. It was the last hand, though, and the last chance to get even. So I called for 'value'. He showed 5-6 for a straight giving him best high and A-2 for the best low.

Spotted on some government website or other by Bob E, who asks "Refurbish? At £60,000 a time?":
Don Foster has announced the opening of bidding for a share of £300 million. The funding will bring thousands of additional empty homes back into use across England.
The communities minister pledged to "stop the rot" that empty homes can bring to blighted neighbourhoods and said that he "wants to go much further" in tackling the problem. Under the scheme 5,000 empty, and in many cases derelict, properties will be refurbished and put back onto the market over the next 3 years...
The government has also given councils greater powers to tackle empty homes locally including:
* allowing councils to charge up to 150% of the normal Council Tax rate on owners of the most problematic neglected homes from April 2013
* applying the 'New Homes Bonus' to empty homes, with government matching Council Tax proceeds from newly inhabited properties pound for pound, doubling councils' revenue from these
* in the most severe cases, enabling councils to take over the most problematic neglected homes through the use of Empty Dwelling Management Orders
If they funded the whole scheme with Council Tax precepts (i.e. quasi-LVT on unoccupied land and buildings) then I'd applaud this; that gives a pull and a push, a carrot and a stick. If only a few land speculators go for the modest carrot, then the tax stick on the die hards won't be very high and they can increase the subsidy and the tax simultaneously. As more and more land speculators cave in and sign up for the subsidy carrot, the higher the tax stick for the recalcitrant speculators will be, within a year or two, there would be no empty homes left, because the extra tax on the last few to cave in would be hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
But as like as not, they'll just be doling out money and feigning surprise at why there are still so many empty and under-occupied homes; and why rents and house prices are so high.

Does anyone know what the Columbus PD did with their old Smith 45's? I was hoping to get one on a great deal.
If they went anywhere, they probably went back to Smith as part of an exchange for the M&P's. If not, you can guaran-dam-tee that the CPD will take them down to Columbus Steel Castings and melt 100% of them down before they gave/sold them to Vances to put on the street. I bet however that they're still sitting in the armory. I don't think the Department is 100% transitioned yet, so if they do ship them out, they'll probably go out as a group.
Do you know who supplied them with their current weapons? THAT company probably received the old guns as credit towards the new purchase, and will resell them. Also, the officers may have contract language giving them the chance to buy their old guns outright.
They are in the process of transitioning form the S&W 4516 (which is no longer offered, which I sure had some bearing on the decision to transition) to the M&P 40, with magazine disconnect. Additionally, There are plainclothes officers that carried 3913 9mm's, and I believe that there are at least a few officers carrying 4" smith 686's from before the .45's, which they chose not to transition from. All of those guys I've seen were wearing stripes or better, and only on "special duty" type assignments like Jazz and Ribs or Comfest. I've heard varying opinions on what the reserves carry, some indicating that it was whatever they could qualify with, since their equipment purchases are on their own nickel, to being issued with whatever the active CPD is carrying.
I heard thru the grapevine that the officers are being given the option to purchase their duty 4506s. apparently there's some controversy because the officers may not be required to go thru the normal ffl process. So far I haven't seen any CPD with M@P .40s. I was kinda hoping they'd wait and chose the .45 ACP version. Oh well guess they want to fit in with the majority of LEO's who now carry .40 S@W. Since Columbus is moving from a DA/SA handgun to a DAO striker I do hope they give their people the necessary training.
they are supposed to be traded in plus $1.00 for new weapons . m&p 40 changeover to be complete by the end of march ,with 8 hour training .
story in the Dispatch yesterday about it, said there have been a few ADs which is uspect were really NDs.

Pornstar Name:
Goddamm that girls pussy is dry as desert sand... and the guy keeps fucking her the same way for like 5 minutes
Beautiful girl! Lovely cock sucking pose on the edge of the bed with her pretty bare feet in the air. Every guy deserves an eye-popper like that before breakfast to tame the morning's wake-up boner. That's what good little girls are made for!
she sucks great, very skinny but cute, pretty face,
I wanna fuck that chick so hard..shes sexyy
What a cutie and great body. Too bad the dude doesn't touch her tits once or better yet give her the oral pleasure she deserves.
I wonder if she got bored being fucked the same for 5 mins!
