Portland roach oval lamp with black douppion silk lampshade, braided cable, complementary antique brass fittings and an embedded mason's mark of authentication.
Free Shipping to UK mainland
The intentional simplicity of the lamp base underlines the beauty of the natural stone, which is always Ian's priority when designing. Stone is an incredibly tactile material and should be equally pleasing to the touch and to the eye.
Each block of British stone is specially selected then the oval shape is hand-worked and finished by our stonemasons in Staffordshire, ensuring the absolute finest quality of craftsmanship. A slight chamfer top and bottom enhances the curves of the design, creating a shadow. The finished stone is hand-honed and sealed giving a surprisingly warm feel.
We have paid close attention to detail, finishing the lamp with a braided cable, complementary antique brass fittings and our mason's mark of authentication, a solid bronze coin, set into the back of the base.
Subtle variations in the stone and the fabric of the handmade, bespoke, silk shades guarantee that every lamp is unique.
Portland Roach is a distinctive and immediately recognisable, open-textured limestone.
Unique and full of character and interest, Roach has many holes scattered throughout, containing large grey shell fragments, including turreted gastropods (Portland Screws) as well as large clams.
The stone is a typical creamy/white Portland colour, although the large concentrations of grey shells can darken the overall colour.
Woven from an incredibly luxurious all-natural silk, our lampshades are painstakingly rolled and neatly tucked for a delicately unique finish. The silk shades are produced to display some natural slubbing, adding to their character.
We go to great lengths to combine the subtle variations of each stone with the finish of each lampshade to give the completed lamp a subtle and carefully considered character of its own.
We have paid close attention to detail, finishing the lamp with a braided cable, complementary antique brass fittings and our mason's mark of authentication—a solid bronze coin—set into the back of the base.
Thank you for your interest. Please complete, if you would like a sample of the stone and/or shade silk.
However, stone is a natural material and variance in texture and colour does occur. At Ian Knapper we take every care to ensure stone consistency, we consider this to be part of the natural beauty of stone, as no one piece will be identical.
The shade material is natural silk douppion. Silk is the most luxurious fibre in the world. The weaving and knitting of the fabric contains minor variations and irregularities. These are characteristics of fine silk yarn which gives the fabric its lustre and texture and should not be treated as defects.
If the stone we have specified is not suitable then you may wish to commission us to produce your lamp in an alternative stone. Please contact us to discuss the options.
We are able to offer a lower price to clients wishing to purchase five or more lamps, in any combination of designs and stone. Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.

It's time to look back at the year that was. An era of couch tirades, runaway brides and paparazzi car crashes. A torrential year filled with disasters — the Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and Taradise and plenty of weathermen in raincoats to cover it all. Let's look at the people, events and news coverage that dominated the pop culture/entertainment world.
There were several themes that rang through the year:
Celeb hookups. 2005 was filled with cinematic couplings that forced journalists into ever more confusing combinatiFans love when celebrities hook up with other celebrities. It is expected. How many stars can you think of who have non-showbiz partners these days? Even D-levelers Even D-levelers were pairing up like Kimberly Stewart and Talan from Laguna Beach.
Celebrity journalism run amok. This is the age of celebrity. There are more magazines, TV shows and Web sites devoted to the stars now than ever before. People are eating it up. We especially love when they are brought down to earth in pictures doing laundry or having meltdowns on VH1 "celebreality" programming. This is all good but the paparazzo needs to chill down (and slow down when driving) big-time. We can live without another picture of Lindsay Lohan entering a club.
Charity 'R Us. "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" may become the quote of the year. Kanye West made it during the Hurricane Katrina relief telethon. As much as I love New Orleans (I grew up there) and wanted to help with the aid efforts, I can't help feeling that it was very much pre-packaged. Like there is a template for relief that was created by 9/11 (telethon airing on all networks simultaneously), the Aids effort (in place of red ribbons, celebs wear magnolias to show they care) and hunger relief (an all-star benefit song ala "We are the World" but this time with Sharon Stone!?!)
Showy fashion. 2005 was filled with more ironic T-shirt slogans, furry boots, Jesus chains and other ostentatious "look at me" fashion. It's like 13-year-old girls possess the minds of the world's fashion designers.
The year of getting off. Not that way sicko, maybe it's better worded as the year celebs beat the rap. Martha is freed and gets a TV show. Michael Jackson walks…all the way to Dubai. Robert Blake is good to go "cowboying" as he put it. Now if only Scott Peterson had been a sitcom star or former Mouseketeer.
Good TV. Not everything here has to be snarky, America's TV in 2005 was excellent. Following on the success of scripted fare like Lost and Desperate Housewives, this year there was Rome, Over There, Grey's Anatomy and Battlestar Galactica. All were first-rate entertainment worthy of comparison to anything on the big screen. With the launch of the video ipod, more on-demand options and TV on DVD there is a lot of quality and innovation within the TV world.
I will continue to recap 2005, because it was a good year. So good that I await its eventual retro return, probably in 2025 when it will be cool to listen to "Hollaback Girl" again or to remember "Dancing with the Stars" fondly. Meanwhile I will ponder some of the big questions that 2005 brought forth like what the hell happened to Dave Chappelle and why is Anderson Cooper suddenly all over my life?

The spot that used to be vegetarian canteen Soulmama is now Captain Baxter, a huge, handsome, beachfront hang-out for drinking and eating. The dining area and deck offer 180 degrees of bay vista - it is tempting to say the view never gets old, except that it kind of does when the sun sets on to your dinner plate and turns the room into a glary hot box. Window shades may be expensive but they are crucial.
DJs and a bright, shiny bar crowd can make this a noisy place, but the mood is happy rather than raucous. Many drinks have a St Kilda theme, linking to the historical Captain Baxter, who helmed a convict ship and was granted St Kilda's first grazing lease in 1839. The Monk of Kilda, a cider cocktail served over crushed ice, is a refreshing knockout. If your gang can agree on a fancy tipple, some cocktails come in jugs, too.
The large kitchen points to a serious food angle that pushes beyond the oysters, prawns and pork rolls available in the bar. Chefs Danielle Rensonnet and Shaun Clancy are just back from three years in Spain and there are definite Mediterranean leanings in their menu of big flavours and bright colours. Among the small plates, the cuttlefish is a cracker, the subtle shaved seafood contrasted by chunks of sobrasada, a looser version of chorizo. Just as tasty is a poached veal dish with peas and anchovy relish. Quail - a little too pink - is served with a seductive dressing of almond cream and fat raisins. Larger dishes include red-curried snapper fillet grilled in a banana leaf to keep the fish moist.
Sides are good: the salt-roasted potatoes come with a spicy duo of sauces, and a grain salad is tossed with mulberries and lively hazelnut dukkah.
Desserts are oddly unseasonal - apples and pears while the markets are full of stone fruit and berries - but there are no complaints about a layered rhubarb panna cotta, which is all saucy jiggle.
Good glassware, cutlery and textured crockery add to the experience. Waiters in preppy uniforms are amenable and reasonably well drilled, though it's a shame they can't reach to the back of the deep horseshoe booth tables. Nevertheless, this is a fun place in a great spot with fine food, so I'm happy to say ''aye aye'' to Captain Baxter.
Stokehouse Cafe, 30 Jacka Boulevard, St Kilda, 9525 5445. Tues to Fri, lunch and dinner; Sat to Mon, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Downstairs at the Stokehouse is now an easygoing indoor-outdoor grill and bar with pizza, burgers, chilli dogs and music every Sunday from 4pm.
True South, 298 Beach Road, Black Rock, 1300 878 360. Tues to Sun, lunch and dinner.
There's no beach view but the Argentinian food and craft beer is drawcard enough. Try the crispy prawns with almond salt.
The Rocks, 1 Schnapper Point Drive, Mornington, 5973 5599. Daily, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Freshly shucked oysters, local steamed mussels and battered bay flathead are among the dishes you can eat on the deck or in the dining room with water views.

JD Power's quarterly customer satisfaction survey results are out, and at first glance it may not read like the best news for Nokia. Dig a bit deeper under the surface however and it is clear that Windows Phone's excellent customer satisfaction numbers is pushing the Nordic company higher and higher in the ranks.
Mar-12 | Sep-12 | Growth | |
Apple | 839 | 849 | 1% |
Samsung | 769 | 782 | 2% |
Motorola | 758 | 777 | 3% |
Nokia | 702 | 763 | 9% |
Blackberry | 733 | 740 | 1% |
Palm | 697 | 707 | 1% |
Nokia's customer satisfaction numbers for their smartphones improved from 702 to 763, a massive 41 points, much more than anyone else on the table, and overall a 9% increase on their previous performance.
It pays to bear in mind Nokia's numbers are a combination of their Symbian and Windows Phone numbers. Unfortunately JD Power will not release the detailed breakdown of the numbers (we did ask), but a bit of sleight of hand does let us extract a rough estimate.
In March 2012 there were 1.56 million Nokia Symbian Windows Phones in USA (according to Comscore), and only a few Nokia Lumia 710 phones sold on T-Mobile, which we are choosing to ignore for the moment. This resulted in a score of 702.
In July 2012 there were 1.48 million Symbian phones, and probably around 600,000 Nokia Windows Phones (based on Nokia's smartphone shipments to US in Q2 2012). Assuming Nokia's Symbian customer satisfaction numbers remained static (a relatively safe assumption) we can see that to reach a Nokia customer satisfaction score of 763 their Lumia 900 handsets must have scored around 914, well above the 849 of the iPhone.
Now if Nokia sold less Lumias the customer satisfaction score for those handsets would have to be even higher to bring the overall score up that much, leading to the truism that Lumia owners just love their Windows Phones.

you can buy an x-pipe made for LT headers, or get the one you have cut to match.. any v6 headers will go with almost any x-pipe, and then just make sure the pipes are the same size in the x-pipe and catback (2.25", 2.5") and it will all match up
With my old V6 i ran str8 pipes....no mid pipe and it sounded pretty sweet for a 6, i also had magnaflow catback and i had many comments on it, everyone thought it was an 8, except those with trained ears of course to know the difference. the mid pipe really isn't needed anyways for the 6, it is a pointless mod, i would invest that couple hundred bucks on something else and just get the y pipe cut.(reason being the 6 has an even firing order and doesn't need the exhaust pulses to be evened out by the midpipe.)


text: Texas Planned Parenthood Will Offer IUDs Thanks to $2 Million Donation [UPDATED]Clover Hope8/01/16 12:20pmFiled to: IUDSPLANNED PARENTHOODTEXASBIRTH CONTROLWOMEN'S HEALTHLARC13782EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkImage via Shutterstock.Amid aggressive attempts to cut Planned Parenthood funding nationwide, there's a bright spot in Texas, where low-income women will soon have access to free IUDs and STD testing after a recent $2 million donation.AdvertisementThe Boone Family Foundation and Harold Simmons Foundation donated $1 million each to the Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, to fund STD tests and long-acting birth control (IUDs and implants) over three years. The options will be available to 1,000 women a year at Planned Parenthood centers in Dallas-Fort Worth, starting in September.Simmons grants director Betsy Healy told Dallas Morning News, "For us, it's really just about access to the best health care for all women in Dallas. We felt this was an option women should have. It's about removing the cost barrier." As the Texas Planned Parenthood chapter's CEO Ken Lambrecht said in a statement, the funding will be crucial to women with low incomes and/or no health insurance.AdvertisementThe Cut notes a previous, related grant that helped provide free IUDs in Colorado led to 40-percent fewer teen pregnancies and a 42 percent drop in teen abortions.UPDATE: A Planned Parenthood rep clarified to Jezebel that free IUDs are not the case (the word "free" has thus been removed from the headline of this post). Rather, the funding "will significantly expand access to contraceptive equity and healthcare screenings for women in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex," according to the press release.Recommended StoriesJudge Blocks Abortion Restrictions in Florida Hours Before Implementation Federal Court Blocks Indiana's Restrictive Abortion Laws From Taking Effect Misdemeanor Charge Dismissed Against David Daleiden, Planned Parenthood Sting Video Creator Clover email@example.com@clovitoSenior Writer, JezebelReply137 repliesLeave a reply

Proenza Schouler rtw Fall 2010
I really enjoyed Proenza Schouler, it is a school girl look but not in a naive or lolita way but tough and confident, the models looked like they were in that girl gang even the boys were afraid of.
I also loved the music they picked for the show by the fly girlz.
I've read very different opinions about these shoes, I love them though!

Wednesday- 600 and counting
I made my son Joe (Adam's daddy) stop this morning so I could take a picture of his hair. He walks by and the hair bounces up and down. It kind of reminds me of a You Tube video I saw yesterday on Robin's blog.
Doesn't my son resemble that bird? LOL
And I finished the baby bib. Yes it does have a cable running up the side and then the cable continues around too make the strap. I LOVED this pattern, super duper easy. I can see more of these in my near future.
A close up of the button. It's a heart of course. if it isn't PINK in my world then it's a heart or a cross. LOL
Had to try it out on a baby, and since I don't have a real one Dora the Explorer was kind enough to loan herself out to me.So the pattern is called "Modern cabled baby bib" and can be found on Ravelry or GibsonGirl's blog. It's a free pattern and really easy, a great pattern if you are just learning cables too. I used a little more then half of a ball of Sugar n' Cream Stripes cotton, color Lime and a size 8 needle. Once again I was able to use my awesome cable necklace, it makes cables so much fun and not stressful at all.
I preached my message at church tonight and it went well. Better then I hoped so I am relieved. I now have two weeks to polish it up and add some more to it so I can preach it in more detail to the whole congregation on the 24th. I am nervous, but they tell me I am so ready and it will be great. They call me Joyce all the time because my preaching/teaching is similar to Joyce Myers. I wouldn't say that.
I got notice from the DR yesterday that I have a couple defencies in my vitamins. So I have to add more calcium and some zinc. I just need to call her tomorrow to find out the exact dosage for the zinc since that's over the counter. The calcium is a prescription, and I have to take one pill once a week. Yeah like I am gonna rememer that, yikes.
Well I am afraid this is where I call it a night. I just took a quick doze for a minute here posting this. Guess I am tired. Have a wondereful night, sweet dreams.

When my Mom had weird pill things to do, she started using one of those pill containers. It really worked. She would "do" her pills every Saturday for the week. It kept it all done in the right order and on the right day.

Stanley M. Chesley
Stanley M. Chesley | |
Born | United States |
March 26, 1936
Occupation | Lawyer |
Spouse(s) | Susan J. Dlott |
Stanley M. Chesley (born March 26, 1936) is a disbarred Ohio trial lawyer. He is the husband of federal judge Susan J. Dlott.[1]
Chesley, the son of Jewish Ukrainian immigrants, graduated from Walnut Hills High School, the University of Cincinnati and University of Cincinnati Law School. He first came to fame as a plaintiffs' lawyer in litigation arising from the 1977 Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, which killed 165 people (and two unborn infants). Rather than merely sue the nightclub, Chesley sued the entire aluminum electrical wire industry, blaming them for the fire. The aggressive and unprecedented tactic of seeking enterprise liability for an entire industry worked, winning $49 million in verdicts and settlements. Individual defendants settled for about a million dollars in the face of Chesley waving gruesome photos of fire victims rather than risk going to trial and losing much more, though those who did defend themselves often won.[2]
Chesley won billions of dollars for his clients in other mass torts, representing clients suing Pan Am over the Lockerbie terrorist attack and clients suing Dow Corning in controversial breast implant litigation.[1][3] Chesley was one of the "inner circle" of the plaintiffs' bar that negotiated the controversial $246 billion tobacco settlement on behalf of state governments, and settlements against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati for sexual abuse.
He was Pro Bono Counsel in the Jewish material claims against German, Austrian, and Swiss financial institutions.
In May 2008, President George W. Bush appointed Chesley to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel.[4]
Chesley is a Life Board Member of the NAACP and was for five years Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Cincinnati.[1]
Chesley was named in a lawsuit related to the settlement of fen-phen litigation in Kentucky. Former clients sued Chesley and three other plaintiffs' attorneys for allegedly breaching their duties by diverting most of a $200 million settlement fund to themselves with only one third to the plaintiffs.[5] Judge Joseph F. Bamberger approved the settlement, but resigned when it was revealed that he was paid $5000 a month as a director of a charitable entity funded by the settlement and directed by the attorneys.[5][6] Chesley, who collected a $20.5 million fee for negotiating the settlement, maintained that he was not co-counsel for the plaintiffs and was not aware that the attorneys were deceiving their clients and that he therefore owed no duty to the 440 plaintiffs[3]
Disbarment and retirement[edit]
On February 22, 2011, Kentucky trial commissioner William L. Graham issued an order recommending Chesley be disbarred for his actions. The Kentucky Bar Association's board of governors accepted a trial commissioner's recommendation on June 14, which called for disbarment and restitution of $7.6 million to plaintiffs.[7] It was determined that Chesley violated several ethic rules.
The Kentucky Supreme Court disbarred Chesley on March 21, 2013, unanimously voting to uphold the 2011 recommendation.[1] Chesley faced disbarment in Ohio due to reciprocal agreements between the two states; however, he opted to voluntarily retire from the practice of law in Ohio instead of go through the state's disciplinary process. The practical effect of his retirement in Ohio is the same as if he had been disbarred - Chesley will never be able to practice law in the state again.[8][9] On Nov. 18, 2013, Chesley was removed from the list of attorneys allowed to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court.[10]

Can you pick water with the 1460 with the paper filter or do I need to put something else on it. Half about 1/2 water on the carpeted floor of the basement and need to get it up.
No announcement yet.
WD1460 Shop VAC
Re: WD1460 Shop VAC
Answer - Yes
You want the cartridge filter to be on the motor head anytime you are sucking up anything. This keeps dirt and other junk from going up into the fan and making a real mess of things.
Be sure to empty drum and brush off filter. Then you're ready to suck up mud or clean water. When done empty drum and allow to dry. Next, remove the filter and clean it. To do this you soak it in dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water and then rinse under running water but so it flows from the inside outward. Be sure to allow filter to dry before reinstalling. It's a good idea to have a spare filter for when you need one.
Note: Allow motor head to dry before putting it on the drum.
SAFETY: Be sure to always unplug the power cord before opening the vac or doing any service. This can't be stressed enough. Always PULL THE PLUG FIRSTLast edited by Woussko; 03-05-2009, 08:36 PM.

FS: Pirelli Sottozero 240 255/40/19
Hi All,
I bought a set of Pirelli Sottozero 240 tires in te 255/40r19 size this past spring and then sold my car. My new car won't run these tires so they have to go. They are brand-new, never mounted and ready to go for winter. I bought them for $980, will let them go for $600. I would vastly prefer to have these tires picked up in north cental MA; but will ship with cost of shipping added. Thanks all! Pete |
Bump! :)
Hello, did you sell the tires already?
Nope, still got 'em. thanks for reviving this listing! Do you want them?
Thanks, Pete |
I am in North Central Mass.:)
Still for sale. Price reduced to $550 :)

It's no secret that, in an effort to ease the concerns of global regulators and secure lucrative partnerships in the IT and banking sectors, the "bitcoin industry" has over the last year been on a steady campaign to rebrand as the "blockchain" or "digital asset" industry.
But as much as the bitcoin industry would like to distance itself from associations with drugs and crime, the technology still remains both popular with, and popularly associated with, those involved with such activities.
In process of writing a forthcoming book, I embarked on a 48-state research effort last summer to learn more about money and finance. Far from the headlines, I would meet only a handful of people that used bitcoin.
And nearly every time it was for drug sales, both legal and illegal.
In South Carolina, a man who camps out during the week behind a hostel struck up a conversation, drawn by the bitcoin decal on my car window. Sure enough, Dave, a married man in his 30s, didn't learn about bitcoin in The Wall Street Journal.

All of this sounds like hyperbole, but Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser really is the greatest series of its genre. Most hack and slash stories are very formulaic, and quite boring (IMHO). Somehow Fritz Leiber's stories are different. To even begin to consider yourself educated in fantasy, you have to have read at least one of these stories.
The stories have been compiled into a number of volumes. Mine are out on lone, educating the unfortunate, but titles include Swords of Lankhmar, and a lot of other things starting with Swords.

So, what is sound?
Most definitions will teach you that sound is vibration of the air around us. Let's expand on that and introduce the idea that sound is what our ears detect and our brains decipher as such. The fact that our ears are playing the role of microphones that capture vibration of the air is just half of the story. Our brain does most of the work. People with hearing implants have a chip that stimulates hearing center in the brain. After receiving an implant they go thru process of adjustment to the new sense. For them air vibration part is not relevant anymore, their brain is "listening" to implanted electrodes. They receive electronic signal obtained from external microphone and sent thru the transmitter to the implant. Instead of the air vibrations around them they could be receiving signal from local radio station if they wish.
If one day space aliens land on Earth, they might not be able to hear us at all even if they have hearing mechanism similar to ours. Their hearing might be at different frequency range or their brains might have different circuitry for processing the sound.
Also, there is psychological perspective to the whole thing. We have been listening to this planet's sounds for millenias and we perceive them in a certain way. Our brain learned to discard some sounds as not important There are good reasons we don't hear as bats or many other animals do. The way we hear has been fine-tuned to serve many useful purposes to us humans on this particular planet. If conditions were just a bit different, most likely specs for our hearing mechanism would be different as well. Even among humans, hearing abilities differ slightly. Size of our body, head, ears, genetic predispositions, it all causes small variations in how we perceive sounds but everyone can learn to become a good listener.
And what about music?
Music is something we've learned to process over time as well. We have adapted our tastes, developed instruments and various rules for playing them. I bet most of us wouldn't be so pleased with music variety if we get sent thousand years into the past. Sound of most instruments was not as polished as it is today or they were not yet invented. It took centuries to refine them, and that process is ongoing.
As sound generating tools evolve and artist find new ways to play them, our music tastes change.
We need to be open minded about the sound and music. As you've probably already discovered, some things sound good to our ears because we have developed certain taste for that type of audio information but that changes over time.

Flower Lanterns for Spring
Inspired by my friends the jonquils, I have made some picture-lanterns. I love this project because it is so gratifyingly easy. In December, my seven year old created an elegant lantern striped with circles of green, blue & brown with hardly a word from me (he just got busy, and when I looked up from my own work, he was nearly done!) I also made an ocean-themed picture lantern which you can see here.
To create your own picture lanterns, all you need are some recycled jars, mod-podge and German kite paper. To start off, I like to cover my jars with white kite paper or tissue paper. This creates a uniform background for the pictures you will create and candles will have a softer glow when lit inside.
To cover your jars, brush a thin layer of mod-podge all over the glass and then lay the paper on top of it. If any areas do not stick well, you can also go over the top of your paper with a bit more mod-podge. The paper will wrinkle as you wrap it around the jars (as you can see in my photos) but I personally like a bit of texture anyhow.
Either before you put your base-layer of paper on your jars (or after the mod-podge has dried) you will want to measure the height of your jars and also around the middle. Then trim some plain white pieces of printer paper or newsprint to the measurements from the jars. This will allow you to know how much space you have for your picture-collage and help with the design...
Then you can start cutting and arranging...
Once you are satisfied with your design, brush a thin layer of mod-podge over half of the jar, arrange your bits of paper and then proceed with the rest of the jar. Note: After I have placed my colored bits of paper on the jar, I usually brush them over again quickly with some mod-podge to help them stick and lie flat.
If you wish, after your design is set on the jar and the mod-podge has dried, you can go over it all once again with a thin layer of mod-podge. This will seal things up nicely.
The Vernal Equinox will be here in less than a week... wishing you endless flowers to welcome Spring with joy!

Oh MY Goodness!! These are too perfect and adorable -- want to make some with my own girls tomorrow. Shared this post on my Facebook page because it's too adorable to keep to myself!
Got your sweet little snowdrop doll in yesterday's mail - the girls absconded her immediately!
I mailed your package today ; )
My peg doll post goes live on Monday.
MaryLeaHi Faith, Arianne, Marylea & Maureen -- This is indeed a great project to do with children. With supervision a 3 or 4 year old could lend a hand, while children 5 and up could do it all by them selves! For younger children it's fun to just cut or tear shapes of paper and cover the whole lantern. You can see examples here http://motherrhythm.blogspot.com/search/label/making%20things?updated-max=2010-12-19T19%3A29%3A00%2B10%3A00&max-results=20
Maureen -- I know what you mean by "up to your neck in projects..." I'm suffering excess inspiration at the moment (but not excess free time!) Luckily, this project only took me about 45 minutes or maybe an hour (did it during baby's early afternoon nap, start to finish!!!)
I know that word-verification makes it difficult to comment, and that, due to moderation, your comments seem to vanish into thin air once you've hit "submit," but your comments will appear after approval (really!) I read every comment and love hearing from you (truly!)

Pneumatic impact wrench - buyer guidelines
A pneumatic wrench It is a very powerful tool and an invaluable air tool for most automotive mechanics and technicians.
The pneumatic or air wrench is a socket wrench power tool devised to render high torque output with minimal physical effort by the operator, by harnessing energy in a rotating mass, then supplying it suddenly to the output shaft.
The pneumatic wrench is also called:
- impact wrench
- impactor
- air wrench
- air gun
- rattle gun
- torque gun
Compressed air is the most prevalent power supply for air wrenches. Then again, the electric powered design is also common.
There is an ever more popular design of pneumatic wrench, namely the battery powered cordless type. Advances in battery storage technology mean this type of impact wrench is particularly popular for the mobile mechanic and home prosumer.
Impact wrenches are widely used in a wide range of industries, which include: automotive repair; heavy equipment maintenance; product assembly (often regarded as "pulse tools" and engineered for precise torque output); major construction projects, and any other instance where a high torque output is necessary.
Impact wrenches are offered in every standard socket wrench drive size, for instance:small 1/4" drive tools for small assembly and disassembly, up to 3.5" and larger square drives for major construction and heavy duty industrial applications. Impact wrenches are one of the most popular air tools, and are found in just about all automotive mechanic shops.
There are many brand names of air impact gun in the marketplace to choose from. Some of the more popular brands include:
Pneumatic Impact Wrenches:
Ampro Butterfly
Cambell Hausfeld
Chicago Pneumatic
Florida Pneumatic
Jet JSM
SK Progun
Tone Shear
Electric Impact Wrenches / Drivers
Cordless Impact Wrenches / Drivers
Black & Decker
Impact wrenches are offered in all regular socket sizes and in various styles, depending on the application.
- The smaller 1/4" drive wrench is generally offered for both 'inline' (the user holds the tool like a screwdriver), and pistol grip styles (as the name suggests, held like a pistol). A more uncommon style is the angle drive wrench. This is similar to an inline wrench tool, but with a set of bevel gears to rotate the output end 90 degrees to the handle grip.
- Impact wrenches of the 3/8" size are most commonly available in pistol grip type. Also available in the market place is a specific inline style known as a "butterfly" wrench, which has a large, flat throttle paddle on {one side|the side| of the tool which can be tilted to one side or the other to manipulate the direction of rotation, rather than using a separate reversing control. This interesting design profile gives access into limited work areas.
- Standard inline and angle 3/8" drive impact wrenches are uncommon, although they are available from specialist store outlets.
- Impact wrench 1/2" drive units are pretty much only available in pistol grip shape, with any inline type difficult to find, mainly due to the enhanced torque fed back to the operator and the greater weight of the tool necessitating the bigger handle.
- Impact wrench 3/4" drive impact wrenches are mainly only available for purchase in pistol grip form.
- Impact drive tools of the 1" size are available for purchase in both pistol grip and "D handle" inline models. The latter design features an enclosed handle grip on the back of the tool. Both of those forms often feature a side handle, allowing for the user to use booth hands to hold the tool.
- Impact drive tools 1.25" and bigger wrenches are usually found in "T handle" style, with two big handles on either side of the tool body housing, enabling for optimum torque to be applied by the operator, and giving the best control of the tool.
Sockets are a necessary requirement for using a pneumatic wrench Its also essential to use good quality sockets. Specialized impact sockets are designed to take the abuse of these powerful tools. An average socket will fatigue under such high torque scenarios. Thus, it is recommend to obtain the best air impact wrench and matching sockets your budget provides.

Chitwan National Park (Nepali: चितवन राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्ज; formerly Royal Chitwan National Park) is the first national park in Nepal. It was established in 1973 and granted the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984. It covers an area of 932 km2 (360 sq mi) and is located in the subtropical Inner Terai lowlands of south-central Nepal in the districts of Nawalparasi, Parsa, Chitwan and Makwanpur. In altitude it ranges from about 100 m (330 ft) in the river valleys to 815 m (2,674 ft) in the Churia Hills.[1]
In the north and west of the protected area the Narayani-Rapti river system forms a natural boundary to human settlements. Adjacent to the east of Chitwan National Park is Parsa Wildlife Reserve, contiguous in the south is the Indian Tiger Reserve Valmiki National Park. The coherent protected area of 2,075 km2 (801 sq mi) represents the Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU) Chitwan-Parsa-Valmiki, which covers a 3,549 km2 (1,370 sq mi) huge block of alluvial grasslands and subtropical moist deciduous forests.[2]
Since the end of the 19th century Chitwan – Heart of the Jungle – used to be a favorite hunting ground for Nepal's ruling class during the cool winter seasons. Until the 1950s, the journey from Kathmandu to Nepal's south was arduous as the area could only be reached by foot and took several weeks. Comfortable camps were set up for the feudal big game hunters and their entourage, where they stayed for a couple of months shooting hundreds of tigers, rhinocerosses, leopards and sloth bears.[3]
In 1950, Chitwan's forest and grasslands extended over more than 2,600 km2 (1,000 sq mi) and was home to about 800 rhinos. When poor farmers from the mid-hills moved to the Chitwan Valley in search of arable land, the area was subsequently opened for settlement, and poaching of wildlife became rampant. In 1957, the country's first conservation law inured to the protection of rhinos and their habitat. In 1959, Edward Pritchard Gee undertook a survey of the area, recommended creation of a protected area north of the Rapti River and of a wildlife sanctuary south of the river for a trial period of ten years.[4] After his subsequent survey of Chitwan in 1963, this time for both the Fauna Preservation Society and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, he recommended extension of the sanctuary to the south.[5]
By the end of the 1960s, 70% of Chitwan's jungles were cleared using DDT, thousands of people had settled there, and only 95 rhinos remained. The dramatic decline of the rhino population and the extent of poaching prompted the government to institute the Gaida Gasti – a rhino reconnaissance patrol of 130 armed men and a network of guard posts all over Chitwan. To prevent the extinction of rhinos the Chitwan National Park was gazetted in December 1970, with borders delineated the following year and established in 1973, initially encompassing an area of 544 km2 (210 sq mi).[6]
In 1977, the park was enlarged to its present area of 932 km2 (360 sq mi). In 1997, a bufferzone of 766.1 km2 (295.8 sq mi) was added to the north and west of the Narayani-Rapti river system, and between the south-eastern boundary of the park and the international border to India.[1]
The park's headquarters is in Kasara. Close-by the gharial and turtle conservation breeding centres have been established. In 2008, a vulture breeding centre was inaugurated aiming at holding up to 25 pairs of each of the two Gyps vultures species now critically endangered in Nepal - the Oriental white-backed vulture and the slender-billed vulture.
Chitwan has a tropical monsoon climate with high humidity all through the year.[3] The area is located in the central climatic zone of the Himalayas, where monsoon starts in mid June and eases off in late September. During these 14–15 weeks most of the 2,500 mm yearly precipitation falls – it is pouring with rain. After mid-October the monsoon clouds have retreated, humidity drops off, and the top daily temperature gradually subsides from ±36 °C / 96.8 °F to ±18 °C / 64.5 °F. Nights cool down to 5 °C / 41.0 °F until late December, when it usually rains softly for a few days. Then temperatures start rising gradually.
The typical vegetation of the Inner Terai is Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests with predominantly sal trees covering about 70% of the national park area. The purest stands of sal occur on well drained lowland ground in the centre. Along the southern face of the Churia Hills sal is interspersed with chir pine (Pinus roxburghii). On northern slopes sal associates with smaller flowering tree and shrub species such as beleric (Terminalia bellirica), rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo), axlewood (Anogeissus latifolia), elephant apple (Dillenia indica), grey downy balsam (Garuga pinnata) and creepers such as Bauhinia vahlii and Spatholobus parviflorus.
Seasonal bushfires, flooding and erosion evoke an ever-changing mosaic of riverine forest and grasslands along the river banks. On recently deposited alluvium and in lowland areas groups of catechu (Acacia catechu) with rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) predominate, followed by groups of kapok (Bombax ceiba) with rhino apple trees (Trewia nudiflora), the fruits of which rhinos savour so much.[7] Understorey shrubs of velvety beautyberry (Callicarpa macrophylla), hill glory bower (Clerodendrum sp.) and gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica) offer shelter and lair to a wide variety of species.
Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands cover about 20% of the park's area. More than 50 species are found here including some of the world's tallest grasses like the elephant grass called Saccharum ravennae, giant cane (Arundo donax), khagra reed (Phragmites karka) and several species of true grasses. Kans grass (Saccharum spontaneum) is one of the first grasses to colonise new sandbanks and to be washed away by the yearly monsoon floods.[8]
The wide range of vegetation types in the Chitwan National Park is haunt of more than 700 species of wildlife and a not yet fully surveyed number of butterfly, moth and insect species. Apart from king cobra and rock python, 17 other species of snakes, starred tortoise and monitor lizards occur. The Narayani-Rapti river system, their small tributaries and myriads of oxbow lakes is habitat for 113 recorded species of fish and mugger crocodiles. In the early 1950s, about 235 gharials occurred in the Narayani River. The population has dramatically declined to only 38 wild gharials in 2003. Every year gharial eggs are collected along the rivers to be hatched in the breeding center of the Gharial Conservation Project, where animals are reared to an age of 6–9 years. Every year young gharials are reintroduced into the Narayani-Rapti river system, of which sadly only very few survive.[9]
The Chitwan National Park is home to at least 68 species of mammals.[10] The "king of the jungle" is the Bengal tiger. The alluvial floodplain habitat of the Terai is one of the best tiger habitats anywhere in the world. Since the establishment of Chitwan National Park the initially small population of about 25 individuals increased to 70–110 in 1980. In some years this population has declined due to poaching and floods. In a long-term study carried out from 1995–2002 tiger researchers identified a relative abundance of 82 breeding tigers and a density of 6 females per 100 km2.[11] Information obtained from camera traps in 2010 and 2011 indicated that tiger density ranged between 4.44 and 6.35 individuals per 100 km2. They offset their temporal activity patterns to be much less active during the day when human activity peaked.[12]
Leopards are most prevalent on the peripheries of the park. They co-exist with tigers, but being socially subordinate are not common in prime tiger habitat.[13] In 1988, a clouded leopard was captured and radio-collared outside the protected area, and released into the park but did not stay.[14]
Chitwan is considered to have the highest population density of sloth bears with an estimated 200 to 250 individuals. Smooth-coated otters inhabit the numerous creeks and rivulets. Bengal foxes, spotted linsangs and honey badgers roam the jungle for prey. Striped hyenas prevail on the southern slopes of the Churia Hills.[15] During a camera trapping survey in 2011, wild dogs were recorded in the southern and western parts of the park, as well as golden jackals, fishing cats, jungle cats, leopard cats, large and small Indian civets, Asian palm civets, crab-eating mongooses and yellow-throated martens.[16]
Rhinoceros: since 1973 the population has recovered well and increased to 544 animals around the turn of the century. To ensure the survival of the endangered species in case of epidemics animals are translocated annually from Chitwan to the Bardia National Park and the Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve since 1986. However, the population has repeatedly been jeopardized by poaching: in 2002 alone, poachers killed 37 individuals in order to saw off and sell their valuable horns.[6] Chitwan has the largest population of Indian rhinoceros in Nepal, estimated at 605 individuals out of 645 in total in the country.[17]
From time to time wild elephant bulls find their way from Valmiki National Park into the valleys of the park, apparently in search of elephant cows willing to mate.
Gaurs spend most of the year in the less accessible Churia Hills in the south of the national park. But when the bush fires ease off in springtime and lush grasses start growing up again, they descend into the grassland and riverine forests to graze and browse. The Chitwan population of the world's largest wild cattle species has increased from 188 to 368 animals in the years 1997 to 2016. Furthermore, 112 animals were counted in the adjacent Parsa Wildlife Reserve. The animals move freely between these parks.[18]
Apart from numerous wild boars also sambar deer, red muntjac, hog deer and herds of chital inhabit the park. Four-horned antelopes reside predominantly in the hills. Rhesus monkeys, hanuman langurs, Indian pangolins, Indian porcupines, several species of flying squirrels, black-naped hares and endangered hispid hares are also present.[15]
Every year dedicated bird watchers and conservationists survey bird species occurring all over the country. In 2006 they recorded 543 species in the Chitwan National Park, much more than in any other protected area in Nepal and about two-thirds of Nepal's globally threatened species. Additionally, 20 black-chinned yuhina, a pair of Gould's sunbird, a pair of blossom-headed parakeet and one slaty-breasted rail, an uncommon winter visitor, were sighted in spring 2008.[19]
Especially the park's alluvial grasslands are important habitats for the critically endangered Bengal florican, the vulnerable lesser adjutant, grey-crowned prinia, swamp francolin and several species of grass warblers. In 2005 more than 200 slender-billed babblers were sighted in three different grassland types.[20] The near threatened Oriental darter is a resident breeder around the many lakes, where also egrets, bitterns, storks and kingfishers abound.
The park is one of the few known breeding sites of the globally threatened spotted eagle.
Peafowl and jungle fowl scratch their living on the forest floor.
Apart from the resident birds about 160 migrating and vagrant species arrive in Chitwan in autumn from northern latitudes to spend the winter here, among them the greater spotted eagle, eastern imperial eagle and Pallas's fish-eagle. Common sightings include brahminy ducks and goosanders. Large flocks of bar-headed geese just rest for a few days in February on their way north.
As soon as the winter visitors have left in spring, the summer visitors arrive from southern latitudes. The calls of cuckoos herald the start of spring. The colourful Bengal pittas and several sunbird species are common breeding visitors during monsoon. Among the many flycatcher species the paradise flycatcher with his long undulating tail in flight is a spectacular sight.
Chitwan National Park is one of Nepal's most popular tourist destinations. In 1989 more than 31,000 people visited the park, and ten years later already more than 77,000.
There are two main entrances to visit the Chitwan National Park: the tourist town of Sauraha in the east and the tranquil Tharu settlement of Meghauli Village in the west.
Sauraha is a well-known spot for package tourists and offers a choice of hundreds of hotels, lodges, restaurants and agencies. Meghauli has recently opened up as a tourist destination with the creation of the Tharu Homestay Program to promote the village tourism in the area, offering a more authentic and intimate jungle experience. It now has also a couple of budget guest houses and seven jungle lodges to cater to all budgets.
Both destinations can be reached from Narayangarh in less than two hours.

AMP, which handed out free shares to 170,000 UK policyholders when it de-mutualised last June, warned that profits for the the full year were vulnerable to falling markets.
George Trumbull, group chief executive, said forecast profits of at least A$774m (pounds 275m) for the full year were on track. But he added: "Volatility in the markets, however, makes forecasting very difficult."
Profits before exceptionals in the first half were at the top end of analysts' expectations at A$603m, helped by strong British investment markets which rose 13 per cent. But the company said it was "cautious" about the second half.
Shares on the Sydney stock market closed down 34 cents at A$21.88, slightly more than the general weakness in the Australian market. Analysts expressed disappointment at smaller-than-expected cuts in costs.
AMP owns Pearl Assurance, one of the UK's largest life insurers. But only policyholders with London Life and AMP UK have benefited from free shares.
The insurer - Australia's biggest - has been -particularly acquisitive in the UK. In April, it completed a takeover of Henderson, a UK fund manager, boosting its funds under management by A$57bn to A$172bn (pounds 62bn).
At the beginning of last year, the insurer came second to the Prudential in the race to buy Scottish Amicable, the UK life insurer which specialises in pensions sold through independent financial advisers.
It has open ambitions for further acquisitions in its home markets of Australia, New Zealand and the UK. A spokesman said: "It is fair to say we are looking out all the time and that the UK is a very important market to us. We missed out on ScotAm but got Henderson this year. We have made it clear we do have an acquisitive stance."
AMP also has a 50 per cent stake in Virgin Direct, Richard Branson's life insurance operation launched over two years ago. Funds under management at Virgin Direct rose from A$2.78bn (pounds 990m) to A$4.31bn (pounds 1,530m) in the first half.
AMP confirmed a substantial proportion of UK shareholders had already sold their shares, most of whom are believed to have held shares in trust. But more than half have kept their shares since the flotation last June.

Purim in the U.S., or at least in Portland, is very different than Purim here in Israel. Purim is a holiday that is celebrated annually and recognizes when Queen Esther caught Haman, the evil royal vizer to King Ahasuerus (Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus were married), plotting to kill the Jews. The King replaced Haman and that saved the Jews. As I've seen Purim celebrated over the years, I've seen the little "carnivals" in temples for the little kids, and there has always been some special food at temple and at places that sell Jewish food, but I've never seen Purim be a holiday that people get more into than Halloween or New Years. But here in Israel, people of all ages get very into costume for 2-3 days! People get way more into Purim then Halloween or New Years, or for that matter the two holidays combined! When we were walking down King George street today (King George street is one of the major downtown streets in Jerusalem), we saw this HUGE carnival with towns of "clown" type people on stilts, tight rope, juggling, dancers and many more types of people getting into and preforming at this carnival. It is hard to describe everything that we saw at this carnival and of other people just on the streets so I hope that the pictures help. Because this is Israel, every event, big or small, has lots and lots of security. There were even soldiers with big guns on top of buildings! Anyway, after we were done hanging out and looking at the acts at the carnival we went to lunch at this fabulous restaurant called Resto Bar. It was amazing! My mom, dad, and I all got the burger. Which was fantastic! One of the best parts was that you could order the burger with cheese because the restaurant wasn't kosher! That made me so happy!!!!! :) It is hard to find cheese burgers in Israel because a cheese burger isn't kosher and most restaurants are. There are many rules to having kosher food but one that makes cheese burgers not kosher is that you can't have meat and dairy together. Not only was the burger good because of being able to put cheese on it, but the actual burger was fabulous! We could tell that the meat had been freshly ground and was cooked just perfect! Also, the french fries that came with it weren't exactly french fries but they were still amazing! They were large slices of fried potato, were the outside was crispy but the inside was creamy. I would gladly go back to Resto Bar again! Today was a very fun and different type of day.

Buy Agapanthus 'Headbourne Hybrids' seeds |
If you are looking to purchase Agapanthus 'Headbourne Hybrids' seeds then you are in luck as this fantastic cultivar is now part of the range at the 'Seeds of Eaden' on-line seed shop.
Seed shop |
There is a flat rate standard delivery charge of £1.99 for all international orders. Be aware that some countries will have trade agreements which would prevent us from sending stock there.
Sow Agapanthus 'Headbourne Hybrid' seeds during April on the surface of 3 inch pots containing a good quality seed compost such as John Innes 'Seed and Cutting'. You may wish to mix some horticultural grit or perlite to help improve the drainage. Add a further 1/4 inch of the potting mixture on top and gently press into place. Gently water taking care not to disturb the compost.
Move the pots to a position that will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day and with a temperature of between 13-15 degrees Celsius.
Water regularly, but only when the surface turns dry and not so much that the compost becomes waterlogged.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be pricked out and potted on into individual 3 inch pots using a good quality potting compost such as John Innes 'No 1'.
When they out grow these they can be further potted on into 4-5 inch pots. Overwinter these under protection so that they are in a frost free environment. The following year they can be planted out into the final position outside.

Bike To Work Day
BTR was out at the crack of dawn this morning welcoming new as well as seasoned bike commuters. Jonathan Maus from bikeportland.org gave us a nice little nod in his piece which you can view here.
I'd like to thank everyone that stopped by the table and chatted with us. I really look forward to continuing those conversations soon as we move BTR to the next level.
Thank you for your continued support and we'll see you on the streets.

Send Laptop to Pakistan
We all have a geeky side in us, even if we like to admit it or not. That is why we have created the computer and peripheral category for you
So say you want to chat with your family back home, but their computer is not working right. You have to tell them exactly where to go find the hardware they need and make sure they understand which is which. Sounds like a lot of consumed time for something that can be done in just a matter of minutes, right from your computer. The thing is Send Gifts To Pakistan is one, or rather the only one that has the biggest range of products, and that can be seen from the categories of goods we provide. But instead of just being like every other gifting and delivery service, we go the extra mile because we try to imagine day-to-day problems that can occur to anyone. That is why we created the computers and peripherals category for you to send as a gift to Pakistan. All you have to do is put your knowledge and know-how to work for just a couple of minutes, or for as long as it takes you, to choose the right peripherals or the right computer. We know how hard it is to miss your family, we know how hard it is to be missed, but technology nowadays has advanced so much that distance has become a relative reality. If you can Skype with your loved ones from your PC directly to their new computer, the one that has that really crispy new webcam, you will be chatting for hours on end.
It is a perfect that you can use on events
Talking about technology, it has been advancing for one purpose and one purpose only: To satisfy our needs and to bring us closer. That is why a computer, or at least a working computer, is a must-have especially for families that are not together and are not easy reachable either. You will not miss out on any of the following family events, be it Eid, Valentine's Day, New Year's, and just imagine the warm eyes of your mother when looking straight at you on Mother's Day or her birthday. It is exactly what everyone needs, because not only it allows both of you (sender and receiver) to enjoy the closeness that it brings, but in fact it allows your loved ones to use it on a daily basis. And we already know that a computer can be more than a companion, whether it is to watch a movie, listen to music or catch up with old friends on Facebook. A computer is a necessity and that is why we have created the best and easiest way of purchasing and sending it straight to your loved ones' door. All you have to do is decide how powerful the computer you want to send, or to be sure what peripheral you want to send as a gift to Pakistan.
It is also a good gift for children and young adults
You know how before when you wanted to find some information about a specific subject, that could have possibly helped you in school or for your first interview. Well times have changed so much that recently not only is it necessary to be able to operate a computer, but you can be prepared a lot better while surfing the world wide web. It is become so easy to have access to the information you desire or need, only at a click of a button, or you know…mouse button. That is why it is encouraged to have a PC at home, so that all you have to do is invest in an internet connection and surf away. This is why we at Send Gifts To Pakistan have thought to make this service available for everybody, and we've made it in such a way that it has never been easier to buy a computer for someone. Go to our site, choose the right computer that you think will fit the needs of your recipient, and click send. We will take care of the shipment, and do our best job as we always do.
Knowledge and years of expertise have given us the upper-hand
We already know everything there is to know about computers, and we have made the research in such a way that we are able to provide only the best quality products, that satisfy everybody. You name it, we have the best of it. This is because we have taken upon ourselves not only to deliver at the promised time without any delay whatsoever, but we have realized that the client really knows best, and we follow that rule almost religiously.
In the end, it is fun to have one
Although you don't like to admit it, computers have made life easier for us, hence we have learned to live with them, and pretty heavily without, but we want to make sure that if you want to send a gift to Pakistan, like a computer or a peripheral to fix your old one, you don't have to hustle too much. Just make sure that you know what you are buying beforehand and go to our site and order it.
Best thing about us is that we also have a 24/7 all round client service, ready to answer all your questions in case you are still not sure what to buy or if you have any uncertainties at all. We vow to serve the best quality products, and that includes Computers and Peripherals that you can send as a gift to Pakistan.

Sarah Ryley of The Brooklyn Eagle beat the rest of New York's media to the punch with her article concerning reaction to the three pages of financials released on Atlantic Yards. The long-awaited Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) financial analysis, provided by developer Forest City Ratner Companies, projects $571 million in "total investment cash flows" by the year 2015.
"A handful of three faxed pages of a chart or two is insignificant. And we're not interested in drips and drabs," said Assemblyman James Brennan of Park Slope, according to the Eagle article.
The estimate has some conspicuous omissions such as the profits from the planned 180-room hotel that would be housed in the project's centerpiece building, "Miss Brooklyn." See the Eagle for details.
