en·gram [en-gram] – noun
encoding in neural tissue that provides a physical basis for the persistence of memory; a memory trace (1)

branch of biology dealing
with relations and interactions between organisms and their environment,
including other organisms (2)
I believe the concept of the individual brand engram for the purposes of marketing communications is redundant. I believe that a truer reflection of brands can be found by examining the dynamics of engram herds within a population.
1. The Myth of the Isolated Engram
Two key properties emerge from this concept:
First, the brand-as-engram is largely malleable and open to influence. Whilst marketers would hold that this gives them remit to leverage this set of associations thru advertising and other means, the reality is quite different;
The stimuli we receive don't uniformly alter the engram. Daniel Schacter notes that; "our memory systems are built so that we are likely to remember what is most important to us" (7). Not all stimulus is created equal, as Willmott and Nelson observe; " in a networked society, where people not only have more contacts but rely on them more for advice and support … personal recommendations, and recriminations, have more weight" (8). In other words brand engrams are – by their very nature – most open to influence by other people. Brand engrams are most open to influence by other engrams.
So brand engrams are mostly open to influence by other engrams, each of which is unique; the concept of the isolated and definitive brand engram is therefore a myth.
Brands aren't individual ideas, but herds of ideas, within a population. Herds that over time will grow or shrink, become more disparate or move more tightly together, or that become more or less consistent; all as a result of their environment that includes other engrams. It is this latter facet of the engram herd – consistency – upon which this submission will focus.
2. The Importance of the Consistent Herd
2.1 The importance of consistent herd in Word of mouth epidemics
But what the malls of mainstream
2.2 The role of the consistent herd in communicating self-identity
Heath and Potter observe that "what we are all really after is not individuality, it is distinction, and distinction is achieved not by being different, but by being different in a way that makes us recognisable as members of an exclusive club" (13).
2.3 The need for a consistent herd for a functioning transactive
It is in many ways a concept analogous to that of the Wisdom of Crowds, and idea James Surowiecki expounds in his book of the same name: "under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the smartest people in them … chasing the expert is a mistake, and a costly one at that. We should stop hunting and ask the crowd" (17).
3. Case Study – Articulating eBay's engram herd
Figure 1: herd engram associations by brand 21
Figure 2: eBay herd engram associations ranked strongest first 21
Big, community, choice and affordable emerge top (reflecting the positive gravity well), as do time-consuming and risky (the negative gravity well). In an individual engram this picture wouldn't have emerged, the gravity well of that individual would have dominated. Only by looking at the herd engram are the range of (in eBay's case less consistent) associations observed.
But the real indication of the relative strength of herd consistency comes when the brand herd engrams are compared. Figure 3 shows each of the four brand herd engram footprints as ranked by each brand independently of association (i.e. the first point on the x-axis is the strongest association for each of the four brands).
Figure 3 brand herd engram footprints as ranked by each brand independently of association (21)
Amazon's herd engram footprint has most connections concentrated across fewer associations. In short its herd is the most consistent. Amazon's herd more easily and implicitly recognise what its individual members mean when they mention Amazon or when it is used as a display of self-identity.
The challenge for eBay is to use its marketing communications to help generate consistency across its herd engram. At present those carrying the engram are forming very different memory traces orientated around different experiences of the product, ensuring that broadcast communications resonate less well with the collective associations of eBay's herd.
The challenge for all advertisers is to acknowledge the existence of the herd brand engram and accept its truer reflection of the brand as it exists across the memory traces of consumers. Articulate it. Measure its consistency. Identify the foci for the gravity wells that will influence the currents and eddies of the conversations and interactions – the ecology – of the herd engram.

What's New On This Page?
October 12th, 2015 - Some design changes.June 7th, 2011 - Added a route description - through the old, forgotten villages in the southern part.
June 20th, 2009 - More great pictures embedded.
October 22nd, 2005 - Initial set up of the page.
Monte Sernio and Creta Grauzaria. He and she. A beautiful pair of characters in the Central Carnic Alps. He is dominating this small group, monitoring over the broad territory around, she is a hard reachable beauty, all in fine towers and sharp ridges. Both mountains are leading a squadron of lower peaks, stretching like a tail towards the south. And a long and lonesome valley lies between the two.The narrow group of Creta Grauzaria consists of many wild summits and towers. North of the main summit stands the famous Cima della Sfinge, 1847 m. Its 650 m high northern wall is one of the most picturesque features of the whole group. The summit is of Cima della Sfinge is connected with the main summit with a fine, sharp ridge. West of the big gorge, leading from the north to Portonat notch, the relatively independent Cima dai Gjai, 1916 m, stands. Finally, south of the main ridge the 1930 m high Cima Senza Nome stands. Actually on both sides of the steep valley, falling down towards the south from Portonat notch, a series of minor peaks stands.
Ascents on Creta Grauzaria are not easy from any side. The normal summit ascent are 200 meters of an UIAA II rock climb over the W face above Portonat notch. This nice cut in Grauzaria group can be reached either from the South or, more often, from the north. Around the narrow Grauzaria group also a round marked path Arturo Ferrucci goes, on the southern part going by Cengle dal Bec (ledge). Even if it is marked and on some places protected it is more a climbing route than a path.
Seen from the north there should be very nice opportunities for hard climbing in Creta Grauzaria walls and towers. But I have no information about the importance of the mountain in this respect. Please add information if you have it!
In the southern part of Creta Grauzaria group there's a remote area of rugged hills and deep, nice creeks cutting their way through them. There are a few villages which still until today have not the road connection to the rest of the world. Hiking through them is a nice experience.
Summit Panorama
The panorama from Creta Grauzaria is great. But as the similar panorama was described on the page of the nearby standing Monte Sernio, I don't want to repeat the description here. Just the last sentence: "All in all, hundreds of peaks you have climbed are greeting you and hundreds of those you haven't climbed yet, are inviting you to visit them".Getting There
For the broader overview see the main Carnic Alps page and the Southern Carnic Alps GROUP page!As Monte Sernio, also Creta Grauzaria is a bit remote to the touristically developed world. Or may be also not so, because not so far away on the eastern side the Udine - Tarvisio highway runs. Even if also the western approaches from Incarojo valley, at the end of which Paularo lies, are not very long, the majority of visitors ascend on Creta Grauzaria from Val Aupa, lying on the eastern side of Grauzaria group. Trailheads are listed in the Routes Overview chapter.
From the south you enter Val Aupa at Moggio Udinese, lying close to the highway Udine - Tarvisio. From the north you reach Val Aupa from Pontebba (again by the highway Udine - Tarvisio), from where you drive towards south over the Sella di Cereschiatis (saddle), 1066m.
Routes Overview
Normal Route
Only one not hard climbing route is ascending the summit, the easy rock climb from Portonat notch, 1860 m, over the western summit rocks. UIAA II, marked, but not protected, 200m, 30min. In comparaison with Monte Sernio's normal (East) ascent, Creta Grauzaria's normal (West) ascent is about one UIAA step harder.
Portonat can be reached in 1h 30min from the north, from the Grauzaria hut by a marked path (No. 444), ascending through a steep gorge. From the parking place above Val Aupa valley you will need 2 h 45 min to Portonat notch.
From the south Portonat notch can be reached either from Grauzaria village, 516m, via La Forcje and the steep south valley to the notch (path No. 444), or from the remote villages Borgo di Mezzo, 832 m, and Morolz, 855 m, via Casera Cimadors, 1359 m (path No. 418a) and further to the notch by path No. 444. In all cases you will need some 3 h 30 min to 4 h to the notch.
The second marked path in the narrow Grauzaria group is the No. 446, which encircles the group, crossing its northern, eastern and southern slopes and then connects to the No. 444 path over Portonat notch. In the middle of this round path the Feruglio bivouac stands on 1700 m. It's a long partly secured path, with some easy alpinistic passages.
Harder Climbs
(Thanks to ganesh70, who added the following information)The Grauzaria group is very popular among climbers, because there are beautiful routes that can be climbed in almost anytime of the year. Here's a list of the most famous:
Creta Grauzaria
> Via "Direttissima" - from the south crest of the east summit., diff. III/IV, 350 m.
> From the south-west gorge, 350 m, diff. II.
Cima Senza Nome
> From the south-west gorge of Creta Grauzaria, 200 m, diff. II.
La Medace
> From north, 90 m, diff. II.
Cima della Sfinge
> Via Gilberti-Soravito, 550 m, diff. IV.
> Via Bizzarro-Simonetti, 700 m, diff. VI.
> Via "Diretta Integrale" ( Via Bulfoni + spigolo De Infanti ), 700 m, diff. VII.
On Cima della Sfinge there are also harder climbs (VII/VIII), opened by the famous climber from Tolmezzo Roberto Mazzilis.
Ski Tour
From Portonat notch towards the North also the ski descent is described. It is steep, but not exposed. If snow is very hard much care is needed, in soft snow conditions the tour is safe from sliding down, but there are higher risks of avalanche and falling rocks.
Red Tape
No limitations.When To Climb
Creta Grauzaria can be climbed any time of the year, but as normal ascents require rock climbing, dry seasons are most recommended. In winter and early spring also the normal ascent would require a complete winter equipment - ice pick and crampons. But on the other hand the gorge, leading from the north to Portonat notch, can be easier to ascend in spring and early summer, when filled with snow.

These human Thy-1-COX-2 transgenic mice have expression of human COX-2 (PTGS2 or PGE2) directed primarily to neurons of the amygdala, striatum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus by the murine Thy1.2 expression cassette. These mice may be useful to model chronic elevations in COX-2 enzymatic activity associated with neurodegenerative diseases and aging, oxidative metabolism of endocannabinoids in modulation of synaptic transmission and plasticity, and ischemia and postischemic inflammatory reaction.
Katrin I Andreasson, Stanford University
Genetic Background | Generation |
Allele Type |
Transgenic (Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence) |
Mice hemizygous for the human Thy-1-COX-2 transgene (hCOX-2 transgene) are viable and fertile, with expression of human COX-2 (PTGS2 or PGE2) directed primarily to neurons of the amygdala, striatum, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus by the murine Thy1.2 expression cassette. These moderate overexpressing C57BL/6J COX-2 transgenic line 300 mice have PGE2 levels that are ~10-12-fold greater than non-transgenic controls (compared to ~25-40-fold overexpression in line 303; see Stock No. 010703). At approximately 12 months of age, COX-2 transgenic mice develop an age-dependent deficit in spatial memory. Around 20 months of age, a less pronounced, but significant deterioration in performance of non-spatial memory tasks develops. Further progressive memory impairments are observed over time. These cognitive deficits are associated with parallel age-dependent increases in cortical neuronal apoptosis and glial activation. Transgenic mice exhibit enhanced hippocampal longterm synaptic plasticity. Chronic overexpression of neuronal COX-2 enzymatic activity leads to long-term cellular changes that result in diminished neuron viability in transient focal ischemia/ischemic injury challenge. Elevated expression of COX-2 leads to increased oxidative degradation of endocannabinoids (eCBs); resulting in abolished depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI; or eCB-induced suppression of GABAergic synaptic transmission). These human Thy-1-COX-2 transgenic mice may be useful to model chronic elevations in COX-2 enzymatic activity associated with neurodegenerative diseases and aging, oxidative metabolism of endocannabinoids in modulation of synaptic transmission and plasticity, and ischemia and postischemic inflammatory reaction.
The human Thy-1-COX-2 transgene (hCOX-2 transgene) was designed with the entire 1.8 kb human COX-2 (PTGS2; prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (prostaglandin G/H synthase and cyclooxygenase) or PGE2) open reading frame sequence inserted into the 8.2 kb Thy-1 expression cassette (in the second exon of the "murine Thy-1.2 gene"). This transgene was injected into the male pronucleus of C57BL/6J cells. Transgenic founders were bred with C57BL/6J and mice from founder line 300 were found to have an approximately 10-12-fold increase in PGE2 expression. Transgenic mice were bred with C57BL/6NCrl mice for approximately five years prior to sending to The Jackson Laboratory Repository. Upon arrival, sperm from transgenic mice was cryopreserved. When rederiving the live colony, transgenic sperm will be used to fertilize oocytes from C57BL/6NJ females (Stock No. 005304).

No founder lines were provided in the original reference but lines 300, 303, and 316 were characterized in subsequent publications.

A blog about a girl, her nikon and a great big love affair
exquisite blouse. love the combination with jeans. so simple.
Both girls are effortlessly perfect! But I prefer Natalia's look better :) She's sublime!
compared with their European counterparts, the girls are dressed modestly ...
God, I need to know what jeans Natalia is wearing. Like...need. to. know.They both look fabulous.
@Lindsey- I am having a bit of an obsession with MIH jeans at the moment particuarly the flared ones!
Natalia's adorable! Love that!
love the top but theres something about the pose and the little smirk on the face of Polina...http://sartorialme.blogspot.com

Fellow woman—weird phrase.
Anyhow, around these parts, there is a drive to help the local abused women's shelter. We had a similar drive in DC, I remember.
These places need nonviolent toys, gift cards, nonperishable food, robes, day planners, little toothpastes and creams, slippers.
Bring home things from hotel bathrooms—these are great!
Other ideas are art supplies, socks,cardigans, books, you can probably think of more.
Don't hesitate because you think these women should have left—don't blame them! They DID leave and now they need you.
PS Don't giftwrap before dropping off.

The number of bytes per inode specifies the density of inodes in the file system. The number is divided into the total size of the file system to determine the number of inodes to create. Once the inodes are allocated, you cannot change the number without re-creating the file system.
The default number of bytes per inode is 2048 bytes (2 KB) if the file system is less than 1 GB. If the file system is larger than 1 GB, the following formula is used:
File System Size |
Number of Bytes Per Inode |
Less than or equal to 1 GB |
2048 |
Less than 2 GB |
4096 |
Less than 3 GB |
6144 |
3 GB up to 1 TB |
8192 |
Greater than 1 TB or created with -T option |

If you have a file system with many symbolic links, they can lower the average file size. If your file system is going to have many small files, you can give this parameter a lower value. Note, however, that having too many inodes is much better than running out of inodes. If you have too few inodes, you could reach the maximum number of files on a disk slice that is practically empty.

One balmy Summer day in 1997 Rita Rupp (57) from Tulsa Oklahoma, was on a lengthy road trip with her husband Floyd (67). For no reason in particular, she began to sense that they may be in danger. She started thinking, 'What if someone hijacks our car and kidnaps us? No one even realize we're missing for days, and no one would come looking for us.' So she hatched a plan.
Rita wrote a note, just in case she got kidnapped. She scrawled the note in appropriately distressed handwriting, "Help I've been kidnapped. Call the Highway Patrol." She also supplied her name and a helpful description of the van they were driving.
This eccentric emergency plan would actually have proven to be a pretty good idea in the event that at some point she had actually been kidnapped, and managed to dispatch the note before being incapacitated.
At the idea was rather harmless, albeit a bit quirky. Except for one unforeseen eventuality. Mrs Rupp's paranoia would have remained her private problem if on a bathroom break at a gas station the note hadn't inadvertently dropped out of her handbag. Oops.
A conscientious attendant found the alarming note and quickly notified the authorities who then immediately issued alerts, mobilized patrol vehicles, and set up road blocks in four states. (Here is the New York Times article that proves I'm not making this up).
All the while, Mr and Mrs Rupp were cruising along to their destination, blissfully unaware of the multi-agency, national rescue operation that been launched to save them.
Eventually, Mr Rupp called his workplace to brag about the ocean view he was enjoying. His colleague responded, "You have no idea what's going on, do you?" Evidently he didn't. I wonder if this type of behavior from his dear wife was something he had grown accustomed to. (Incidentally, Floyd is a chiropractor so he is used to dealing with a recurring pain in the neck).
In the spiritual realm, many people are blissfully unaware of the epic, eon-spanning rescue operation that has been underway on their behalf for millennia. They coast blithely through life without any idea of the sacrifice and planning that has been invested in their salvation. But unlike Mr and Mrs Rupp, everyone does actually need to be rescued, wether they realize it or not.
As we prepare for the Christmas season, let's use the opportunity to link the ubiquitous baby in a manger scene to the metanarrative of the rest of the Bible: God's orchestration and execution of the ultimate rescue operation, launched in the recesses of pre-history and culminating in the advent of the God-Man Jesus Christ. Here are some verses with which to inscribe our Christmas cards…
Ephesians 1:4 "…even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him."
Colossians 1:13-14 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Romans 5:6, 9 "For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. … Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God."
Luke 1: 67-74 "Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us."
Salvation season's greetings.

Lovely, Mrs. T - fab names too!
All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment
Freelance shrub butcher and weed removal operative.
Sorry Oscar
We (well Dave-next-door ) dispatched my bantam cockerel last night and I managed to pluck and gut him this morning ! Oven ready he weighed in at around 750grams so won't be able to entertain many friends! I've put him in the freezer as I need to forget his face before I can eat him I think!
Good for you Sue! It can't be easy but you did it! My bantam roos are facing the same fate if I can't get rid in pairs and trios with the girlies. I'm coming round to the idea of killing, poss with a 'priest' as I don't fancy using my bare hands..750g ain't bad.
Well done...not easy I know
He came in at about the same weight as my bantam boys.
My Marans were about 2kg. They are still in the freezer!
We need to do our 3 geese pretty soon- so I'm going to be asking for help on that soon ( advice as how to restrain them etc)...they'll be in the freezer for a couple of months before Xmas /New Year just so we can face eating them
My OH does the deed , I pluck and external dress- then he guts. Seems to move the stages on so he doesn't feel he's gutting what he's just killed....makes it a tad easier that way for us."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple
The traditional method with geese is the broomstick, and while the wings can flap a fair bit, because of the way they are held, the worst that can happen is an annoying whacking to the sides of the legs (of the person doing the job) for maybe half-a-dozen beats. Unless one 'bruises easily' there should be no problem at all.
Because geese have MASSES of feathers, as well as down, plucking takes quite a long time. It isn't necessary to fully pluck before hanging (but a good idea to make a start), and those wanted for Christmas (can't avoid mentioning it in this context) should get at least 10 days hanging in a cool-cold shed or similar. With the weather being warmer just now, it may be tricky to fnd somewhere cool enough, and since these birds are a couple of months younger, maybe a week hanging would do.Last edited by Hilary B; 30-09-2010 at 05:33 PM.
Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.
I couldn't get my hand inside to gut him so had to butterfly(?) him. Now I've done one I know, I'm hoping to hatch some Ixworths or La Fleche next year as they make good layers and good table birds and there is a breeder of both very near to me.
BTW my new Black Rocks have been laying since I brought them home on Saturday! 1 on Sunday and 2 each day since. Pretty good huh!
Well I hadn't got anything for Sunday dinner so out came Oscar! A bit chewy and not much of him but made an adequate meal for the 2 of us! First time I've had a complete dinner from the allotment! Can face it all again now so looking at good utility breeds I can source eggs from locally for the spring!

I'm very excited... we have nearly finished making our new bird run/area. Spent yesterday sloshing around putting up the aviary/game bird netting that takes the fence to 2m.
Mr OWG is going to make me a gate, then everyone can come out and play!
It's about 250sq m, so about 2/3 bigger than what they have now...
Will take pics when it's all finished

Hey, can you check something out for me(sorry if I messed up ur talk page or anything)
on the talkpage of DP145, about English title reference, have you ever heard that phrase before?--Midnight Blue 03:29, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'll go check it out (and no worries, you didn't mess it up). CuboneKing 23:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
It was a mastake its OK. If you want to muss up my bage no problam Random Chaos Was here☃ 01:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Well see my discussion for the apology. It's there. Random Chaos Was here☃ 03:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
for the redirect you're fixing now, use {{mdc}}
instead. For example, {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} will put Wigglytuff Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 19:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. I was about to go and fix that. Just an accident on my part. CuboneKing 19:37, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
something to do
sorry if this is a rather small assignment, but you can vote here for the opening of book articles. This is another thing you can do. Also, why do you keep saying "because alternate coloration is a redirect now" a lot? Is it because of this? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 23:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- 1. OK, I'll do that. 2. Yes, it is. I say it all the time in real life because it screws with other people and they don't get it. I find it funny. CuboneKing 23:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- You can add party templates to Battle Mode. This will take a lot of time, though. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 17:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
We keep the info in there even with the delete template, as for referencing. It's not a redirect after one puts the delete template on it, so if that's what you're worried about, then... yeah. ht14 03:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
On an unrelated note, can you let me handle the "Major Appearances" thing? I was kinda handling it... ht14 03:22, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Cubone King,
Good evening. I apologise for re-doing my grammar correction on the Bug Type page, I had mistakenly thought it had not went through. However, I feel that "based on" is the correct grammar in this case, as well as the other 106 pages I found "based off of" written. I'm quite passionate about grammar and I was planning to correct these pages in the upcoming days. Is there some kind of agreement that can be reached over this matter?
--Burjojo 23:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- You know, you're probably right... I'll help if you want, but could you find a way to check? I'm very passionate about grammar too, but I just don't want you to correct all these pages only to go back and undo them all, so please check first :) Thanks, CuboneKing 00:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I'll do my best to find a way to check, thank you for your co-operation :) --Burjojo 00:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I've done some research over the matter. It would appear I'm not the first person to question this. There are scrolls of forums over the internet arguing the matter, but I did see some interesting explanations. If you were to type "based on" into Google, you would find much more results than "based off of". Also, the "of" is considered superfluous. For instance, in the sentence:
"After stowing away and getting kicked off of the S.S. Anne, Red meets the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman"
According to the majority, the "of" is not needed, as "getting kicked off the S.S Anne" is sufficient. This would not apply in the "based on" argument from earlier, however, as the usage is different. "Based on" is preffered to "based off of".
I do see why this has happened though, it is very common in speech (I say it myself I must admit) but it would appear frowned upon within the written aspects of english grammar.
But, it's down to you, boss. I live in Scotland, "glass" is a verb here ;)
--Burjojo 00:37, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, please don't call me boss :) I'm not even an admin :| I live in the US, and I hear "based off of" quite a bit more than "based on," which is why I was quick to revert your edit earlier. However, you do make a good point. Hm... I'd say take it to the Surpreme Court. CuboneKing 00:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I got permission to go ahead :) though I did make a grammatical error myself when I wrote my plea but oh well. Thanks for your help! --Burjojo 09:53, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
- Cool :D I'll help. CuboneKing 00:27, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- I thought I would consolidate sections. I just want to know why you are changing "off of" to "on." They both work grammatically. MaverickNate 04:00, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- If you want me to, I'll stop... CuboneKing 04:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- I did not say I wanted you to stop, I just wanted to know: I like knowing everything MaverickNate 04:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- I reverted such an edit by Burjojo, but then Bur brought up a good point that "Based on" seems more grammatical than "based off of." As I want Bulbapedia to be grammatical as possible, I asked Bur to ask TTE about the case. TTE gave us permission to go ahead and change it, so I went right ahead, and Bur will probably join when it's right for the time zone. CuboneKing 04:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

CuboneKing, you legend! We are slowly getting there, only about 118 articles left! Work and exams are hindering me from doing things any faster, but I appreciate your help and will help when I can --Burjojo 17:19, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I need your advice on something. In the synopsis of EP270 there is this following sentence. Now I haven't seen the episode myself so I'm not really sure what it means.
" Scizor is sent out against Snorlax, and after a quick series of Quick Attacks, Scizor defeats Snorlax with a Metal Claw to the face off of a missed Hyper Beam"
Now, does that mean that Scizor hit Snorlax in the face? Or am I not quite getting this?
--Burjojo 01:11, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think it means Snorlax hit Scizor after Snorlax fired a Hyper Beam that missed. CuboneKing 01:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Well, thats it. All done. Except for Pokémon World, but none of us are allowed to edit that. Good work man! We'll have to have a battle sometime :) --Burjojo 16:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed. :D I'm working on getting my Wi-Fi fixed, so I'll get back to you when that happens. CuboneKing 23:33, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

- Sorry about the late response to this, but the reason I learned how to do this is that I am on a wiki with a the same format as this. So I know how to do a lot of stuff, although Bulbapedia is WAY bigger than that other wiki, and is not as organized as this one. Swampert ManSwampert is Awesome! 21:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Question: who told you about this? I know it exists and all, and I'm curious. Second, can we do it as D/P instead of DP, etc.? It looks better that way... ht14 03:35, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- The diff tool... And sure, I'll use D/P... CuboneKing 03:37, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- *cough*Sorry to meddle in, but you're wrong CK was actually right. Word of God</span"> states that D/P is wrong and that DP, FRLG, etc. is right. Thanks, --☆Coolピカチュウ! 04:22, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

- I think that the full text shows that we're not lazy... CuboneKing 04:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- About that... I'm not going to argue or anything. The past was DP, RS, FRLG. If you like change, fine. I don't mind change either, just not to ones that we've been accustomed to so long... I'll leave it at that.

- @CP, if that was the case, how come there were no changes? I'm puzzled at this. I've done this for a very long time (as with many of my edits) with no reverts whatsoever... ht14 04:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Other users' talk pages
Hey, CK. I haven't spoken with CP about this so I'm not sure if he thinks it's a huge deal or not, but if someone writes on someone else's talk page (esp. an admin's talk page) and the recipient of the message is clearly online, then give them the courtesy of replying before you barge in on the conversation. This helps to prevent edit conflicts. Cheers. —darklordtrom 23:23, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- K, thanks Trom, I'll try and avoid it in the future. I just thought it might be a good idea warning somebody who calls the entire Bulbapedia administration terrible... But I guess CP coulda done that. I guess I'll stop if everyone hates edit conflicts as much as I do... CuboneKing 01:21, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Can SOMEONE HELP????? Suddenly today I can no longer edit MY userpage!!!! Abd then my Sig. suddly claims my page NO LONGER EXISTS!!!!! Can someone explain this to me?
I'm suddenly not aloud to EDIT my page!!!! --Corynofplatinum 23:59, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's because you haven't edited the mainspace enough yet. Once you've made enough mainspace edits, you'll be able to. Oh, and by the way, your sig needs to link to "User:Corynofplatinum", not just "Corynofplatinum"... CuboneKing 00:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Since 1977 the Kentucky Historical Society has been computerizing all of the state's existing cemetery records. This index will have genealogical information from an estimated seven million tombstones when it is completed. The society also collects pre-1911 funeral records.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collection contains tombstone inscriptions from many Kentucky cemeteries. The DAR collection is described in Kentucky Genealogy. Five volumes of DAR cemetery records have been published separately:
- Daughters of the American Revolution (Kentucky). Kentucky Cemetery Records. 5 vols. Lexington, KY: KSDAR, 1960–. FHL film 873712; book 976.9 V22d,vols.1–3 on Each volume is indexed.
Many transcriptions are found in:
- Cemetery Records of Kentucky. 2 vols. N.p., 1962,1968. (Family History Library FHL film 873713; book 976.9 V22L. Additional volumes of this collection are listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under individual counties. These volumes are arranged by county and include abstracts of cemetery records from 15 counties.
Burials in 241 Kentucky cemeteries along the old Wilderness Road are recorded in:
- Johnson, Robert Foster. Wilderness Road Cemeteries in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. Owensboro, Kentucky: McDowell Publications, 1981. FHL book 973 V3j. The Wilderness Road led from Virginia through northern Tennessee and into Kentucky. The book includes a surname index.
A 1988 county-by-county list of cemetery record transcripts available at the Family History Library is:

I get that client side validation has not been worked out with 1.3.
However, it appears Orchard's own validation system is simply messing my head up with some forms I am creating in a custom module. I have given up on validation because of the headache it has caused trying to implement (me being a non-developer). But now it seems Orchard's validation system is taking over in an unexpected way: if I click through on "[Required]" inputs in my wizard form (where in the past I would have expected the client-side validation to fire) and I get to the end of a wizard Orchard takes over and (properly) gives me the validation summary error for FirstName and Email (which I purposefully left blank). When I fill FirstName and Email in and click through the wizard to the submit page it goes BACK to the FirstName and Email (which I populated) and shows it blank with the validation summary error that those fields are required.
I have given up. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.
I am using an MVC Wizard, a controller, and originally had enable client-side/unobtrusive in my module's web.config.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
What is an "MVC Wizard"? Is this an official part of MVC or a third-party addon? I'd guess the problem is there in the way it's implemented, it may be doing complex things that aren't designed to be compatible with Orchard; but without seeing any code I can't offer any further advice.
I was using a wizard implemented here: http://afana.me/post/create-wizard-in-aspnet-mvc-3.aspx
I had previously used this wizard without any problems in an MVC 3 app, outside of Orchard. I am suspecting you are correct about it not being compatible with Orchard, but I am not sure where (if that's the case). For ease I am posting the javascript and wizard code here from that link:
This is the Index.cshtml

@using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true) <fieldset>

 Step 1: Username and email address.

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserName)

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserName)

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email)

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Email) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)

 Step 2: First name and last name.

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName)

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName)

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.LastName) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.LastName)

 Step 3: Age and biography.

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Age)

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Age) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Age)

 @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Biography)

 @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Biography) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Biography)

 <input type="button" id="back-step" name="back-step" value="< Back" /> <input type="button" id="next-step" name="next-step" value="Next >" />
 </fieldset> }
 @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")

This is the WizardController.cs
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using MyWizard.DomainModel; namespace MyMvcWizard.Controllers { public class WizardController : Controller { // // GET: /Wizard/ [HttpGet] public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } // // POST: /Wizard/ [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(User Person) { if (ModelState.IsValid) return View("Complete", Person); return View(); } // // POST: /Wizard/Confirm [HttpPost] public ActionResult Confirm(User Person) { return PartialView(Person); } } }
This is the Confirm.cshtml referenced in the Controller
@model MyWizard.DomainModel.User @if (!ViewContext.ViewData.ModelState.IsValid) {
The following errors were found:
 @Html.ValidationSummary() } else {
 Confirm

 Please confirm that your information is correct:
 <fieldset>
 UserName

@Model.UserName

 FirstName

@Model.FirstName

 LastName

@Model.LastName

 Age

@Model.Age

 Email

@Model.Email

 Biography

@Model.Biography
 </fieldset> }
In the web.config of the module (same as web.config in the above sample), I have
Note: If I put the above <appSettings> in the web.config under the Orchard.Web root, then I get REALLY weird behavior. All of the data with [Required] attributes in the model do not fire, however, ALL of the data without [Required] attributes do fire the validation errors.
For my purposes, I've just changed some of the html above to suit my purposes, so nothing that would break that logic.
FURTHER EDIT TO OP: None of the other [Required] inputs will fire validation errors if left blank or not selected (in the case of Radio Buttons).
If I knew of an alternative I'd use it if it worked. :)
Thank you in advance for any advice/direction.
Have you included all the necessary javascript libraries ? Orchard won't do it for you.
Also the Orchard views might not use the Html.EditorFor syntax and thus might not render the appropriate attributes for this feature.
Not sure which are necessary other than the two that were included at the top of the Index.cshtml file, except that in my module I have it thusly:
@{ Script.Include("jquery.validate.min.js").AtFoot(); Script.Include("jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js").AtFoot(); }
This appears to work as when I use the Google Chrome Developer Tools it's listed as a downloaded resource and shows at the end of the html. I did not add them through the Orchard.Jquery module, if that's what you meant. I will try that to see if it helps.
I will also try your suggestion regarding Html.EditorFor and see if that helps.
Thanks for the response.
I've tried every variation and then started from scratch just to see if I missed something. Nothing has worked. This was the first wizard I was using, and since I have tried one other wizard (for which you were helpful on another topic). I am now on my third wizard and am experiencing weird behavior. Bear with me if you can.
Here is my new scenario. I tired using the Nuget package MVCWizard.Wizard. The author was kind enough to send me a sample project. It works fine standalone. Instead of jQuery it uses Partials for each "Step" in the Wizard, so it's several different .cshtml files wired up.
When I try to integrate it with Orchard it loads up fine, but depending on what is done by user input, the weird behavior takes three (3) routes (this is a three (3) "Step" Wizard, each with two textboxes, for a total of six):
1) Enter all info on all three steps, clicking "next", "next", "finish" > see a confirmation page with what I entered. However, if I click a link to start "anew" or if I simply restart WebMatrix and the site, I can enter all three steps again and in the end, I see some of the data from the first instance I entered information. For example, the first time I simply enter an "a" each time. The second time I enter "b" in all the textboxes, and the confirm shows me four "a"'s and two "b"'s. I think its the way the wiring is done with Orchard. NOTE: This behavior does not occur in the standalone (entering "a" once, starting over and entering "b" shows proper confirmation and fires off validations correctly). Below is the Controller code.
2) I do not enter any information on the first step, but instead click "next", and it fires a ValidationSummary error, but only shows the error for the first textbox. If I enter the information required, I can get to the next steps, but then when I click "Finish", it goes back to the first step, clears all the inputs and throws the error for the one textbox (again, both textboxes are required).
3) Pretty much the same as #2 above, but sometimes when I am on the second step going to the third, instead it goes back to the first and shows that error for the one textbox.
I am really stumped. I am going to try to copy some of the logic from other modules to see if i can get validation working.
I know Orchard handles things a bit differently, but I was overly hopeful that if it was MVC3 out of Orchard and working that for the most part I'd just be able to plug it in and make some obvious/minor changes to get it to work.
Here is the ExampleWizardController.cs:
[Themed] public class ExampleWizardController : WizardController<Employ> { public ExampleWizardController() : base() { this.WizardKeyName = "myWizard"; this.EnableSimpleMerge = true; } public ActionResult Step1(Employ e) { return PartialView(Wizard().WizardModel); } public ActionResult Step2(Employ e) { return PartialView(Wizard().WizardModel); } public ActionResult Step3(Employ e) { // change the city value to uppercase if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.City)) Wizard().WizardModel.City = e.City.ToUpper(); return PartialView(Wizard().WizardModel); } public ActionResult ConfirmWizard(Employ e) { if (Wizard().IsConfermed) { // TODO Execute persistence job return View(Wizard().WizardModel); } else { // redirect to another page return RedirectToAction("ActionStep"); } } override public bool ValidateWizardModel(Employ model) { if ("1".Equals(Wizard().CurrentStep.StepName)) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Name)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for Name"); return false; } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Surname)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for Surname"); return false; } } if ("2".Equals(Wizard().CurrentStep.StepName)) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Address)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for Address"); return false; } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.City)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for City"); return false; } } if ("3".Equals(Wizard().CurrentStep.StepName)) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Telephone)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for telephone"); return false; } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Company)) { ModelState.AddModelError("nullval", "Enter a value for Company"); return false; } // if the wizard is valid the set confermation Wizard().IsConfermed = true; } return true; } ///  /// Initialize the wizard manager. ///  /// <returns></returns> protected override WizardManager<Employ> InitWizard() { // create the wizard manager WizardManager<Employ> wm = new WizardManager<Employ>() { ConfirmAction = "ConfirmWizard" }; // add wizard step WizardStep ws1 = new WizardStep("1", "Step1") { StepTitle = "Insert employ data", StepSubTitle = "Insert Name and Surname" }; wm.AddStep(ws1); WizardStep ws2 = new WizardStep("2", "Step2") { StepTitle = "Insert employ data", StepSubTitle = "Insert Address" }; ; wm.AddStep(ws2); WizardStep ws3 = new WizardStep("3", "Step3") { StepTitle = "Insert employ data", StepSubTitle = "Insert Company" }; ; wm.AddStep(ws3); // set the wizard model Employ optIn = new Employ(); wm.WizardModel = optIn; return wm; } }
I had worked variations of commenting out the layout.cshtml @{ Script.Require.... } and my own .cshtml @{ Script.Include.... } but actually had not thought to physically disable js in the browser; but still no luck.
Google Chrome turned off Javascript: Still getting weird behavior (click "next" without filling in and first textbox throws error; try to fill in and click "next" textbox emptied error thrown).
IE9 turned of Javascript: same.
So it appears server-side as the ValidationError is not supported by an js.
I am looking at the code in the controller. I commented out all of the secondary "if" statements in the ValidateWizardModel section (not the top level ones with "1", "2" and "3", just the "if's" inside and the wizard went through (obviously) without a hitch (irrespective of whether a textbox was filled or not (again, obvious), and I get to the confirm page. I just have to test whether any code I would use after the confirm will work.
I am looking at how to validate in the Orchard way by inspecting Orchard.Startup module code. I also looked at some 3rd party modules for samples, but they appear more complicated. With Orchard.Startup I notice custom "Annotations" were used, so I am going to try to emulate those to see if I can get my code to work.
I'm wondering about two things:
- Can you check the debug/error logs (in App_Data/Logs) and see if anything is being thrown up there, even things in parts of Orchard that might not look immediately related?
- Can you show me the directory structure of your module and its views?
My error log:
2011-11-10 12:44:46,438 [7] Contrib.KeepAlive.Services.KeepAliveExecutor - Could not ping keep alive service at url [http://localhost:18103/keepalive]System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:18103 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Contrib.KeepAlive.Services.KeepAliveExecutor.Sweep()
Note: Recall that I commented out the validation parts in the controller. I uncommented them to run the weird behavior and see if anything popped up in the error log. The KeepAlive error I believe is because I am working locally on development server (downloaded from live) - using Publish/Download from WebMatrix. I could be wrong about the way that works.
My directory structure for module:
Thanks for helping out.
I've notice that when I comment out the validation portions that although I can get to the end of the wizard, the confirmation only shows the last step's inputs (two textboxes), so I don't know if its a problem with persisting steps 1 and 2.
I've also got problem with client side validation on custom controller in my module since 1.3. In 1.2 everythoing was correct. The problem is that unobtrusive data attributes are not rendered anymore in html
Rendered in Orchard 1.2
<input data-val="true" data-val-length="The field Miasto must be a string with a maximum length of 100." data-val-length-max="100" data-val-required="Prosze podać nazwę miasta" id="Company_AccomodationAddress_City" name="Company.AccomodationAddress.City" type="text" value="Warszawa Wawer" />
<input id="Company_RegistrationAddress_City" name="Company.RegistrationAddress.City" type="text" value="Warszawa Wawer" />
I think that is the reason.
I have no idea why Orchard would be stripping such things; what is your code to generate the html?
I've got some clues. Vote please on this issue
meantime I will try to find out some workaround because this is blocker for my project.
I've completely redesigned my wizard. Rather than rely on client side validation, I simply just rely on the validation summary on top of each step in the wizard. Example: Step 1 - validation triggered for required or other rules on top of step; correct errors, click "Next" and it moves on to next step. Step 2 - same. Confirm and then "Submit" work. I enjoyed the client side validation outside of Orchard, but I can live with this solution.
I've found a workaroud. There are cleared all ModelValidatorProviders in Orchard 1.3 in OrchardStartup.cs .. like this
// Register localized data annotations ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear(); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new LocalizedModelValidatorProvider());
dirty fix is to readd default providers. it can be done in your custom module in autofac module like this.
public class ContainerModule : Module { protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder) { base.Load(builder); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear(); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider()); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new DataErrorInfoModelValidatorProvider()); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new ClientDataTypeModelValidatorProvider()); } }
public class LocalizedModelValidatorProvider : DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider { private static readonly Dictionary<Type, Func<ValidationAttribute, Localizer, ValidationAttribute>> _validationAttributes; static LocalizedModelValidatorProvider() { _validationAttributes = new Dictionary<Type, Func<ValidationAttribute, Localizer, ValidationAttribute>> { { typeof(RequiredAttribute), (attribute, t) => new LocalizedRequiredAttribute((RequiredAttribute)attribute, t)}, { typeof(RangeAttribute), (attribute, t) => new LocalizedRangeAttribute((RangeAttribute)attribute, t)}, { typeof(StringLengthAttribute), (attribute, t) => new LocalizedStringLengthAttribute((StringLengthAttribute)attribute, t)}, { typeof(RegularExpressionAttribute), (attribute, t) => new LocalizedRegularExpressionAttribute((RegularExpressionAttribute)attribute, t)} }; //Register Orchard's localized version of the validation attributes to the existing adapters DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(LocalizedRequiredAttribute), typeof(RequiredAttributeAdapter)); DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(LocalizedRangeAttribute), typeof(RangeAttributeAdapter)); DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(LocalizedStringLengthAttribute), typeof(StringLengthAttributeAdapter)); DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.RegisterAdapter(typeof(LocalizedRegularExpressionAttribute), typeof(RegularExpressionAttributeAdapter)); } .. ..

The capital of Fuerteventura since 1860 Puerto del Rosario sits close to the airport and has a population of around 18,000.
Once called Puerto de Cabras (goat harbour) the town developed into an important port during the 19th century after taking the capital of the island from La Oliva.
The church in the centre of 'Puerto' is dedicated to the patron saint 'Virgin del Rosario' and it wasn't until 1956 that the town was given the more pleasant name of Puerto del Rosario (port of the rosary).
Puerto is more of an industrial area and isn't really geared up for tourism, although many people still visit the town from the nearby resort of Caleta de Fuste to do some shopping. Until recently it wasn't that attractive, but now the main street has been finished off, many of the roads resurfaced and the harbor promenade has been rebuilt.
The harbour area is the oldest part of town and it is from here you can find all of the small alleys lined with old Canarian style houses.
There is one place worth a visit and that's the home of the former exile poet Miguel de Unamuno which is now a museum.
There is also a culture centre (Casa de la Cultura) where exhibitions, plays and concerts are held.
There are plans for a tourist quarter and a municipal park.
Puerto has improved very much over recent years. Spreading inland are more and more excellent shops and a few years back industrial estates have been introduced offering 'Cash 'n' Carry' warehouses giving residents more choice at better prices.

Kelly, Daniel F MD 1 Reviews
Amazing SurgeonDr. Kelly is an amazing and brilliant surgeon. After meeting with him, I was at ease going into surgery. Dr. Kelly and his wonderful team performed an endoscopic endonasal pituitary tumor removal on me 2 weeks ago. They took the time to explain the entire process and answer any and all of my questions. GREAT doctor!
Garni Barkhoudarian MD 1 Reviews
Best Dr. for the jobAfter being diagnosed with Acromegaly, I was told that I'd have to have the tumor removed immediately. All of my research led me to Dr. Barkhoudarian and his team at St. John's Health Center. For starters, his team worked with me to get me an appointment as soon as possible. Off the bat, Dr. B came in with a game plan. He reviewed my MRI images and lab work with me in details and explained how the surgery would go. He answered ALL of my questions. After having scheduled the surgery day, my insurance gave me a hard time approving a surgery outside of network. Dr. B and his team assured me that they would work with my insurance company and they did. I had a successful surgery 2 weeks...
Ditsworth, David Alan MD 2 Reviews
Amazing result! My back is like new!I thank Dr. Ditsworth every day and pray for him! He really got me up from a wheelchair. No pain anymore! I am free now to ski, ran, and to do all my favorite things. His surgery is a miracle - very safe, painless and very non-invasive. There is no scar on my back or inside my body! His micro tools are simply the best! Go to this doctor and you will never feel sorry. My relative followed me and had a surgery with Dr. Ditsworth - also with a great success. Dr.Ditsworth is the top surgeon, well recognized, with many peer-reviewed publications, on staff at Cedars Sinai - one of the nation top hospitals. No doubts, he is the best choice for anyone who cares about himself.

Is There a Shortage of Homes for Rent in Your Neighborhood? Apparently there is in Medford, Oregon. KDRV.com is reporting that Jackson and Josephine County renters have drastically fewer housing options than they did a year ago, according to numbers from the Southern Oregon Rental Owners Association.
The Southern Oregon Rental Owners Association estimates there will be less than 175 rental vacancies in May, down from just under 400 in the same month in 2009. Realtors say one reason for the drop is that some landlords are actively trying to sell their properties, and others have lost their properties due to foreclosure. Experts also expect the number of renters to go up, with those who have lost their homes now forced to rent.
Meanwhile, a new report finds that the housing wage for Jackson County Oregon is $14.73 an hour. This is the hourly wage a family of four must earn in order to afford rent and utilities in the private housing market. The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Jackson County is $766. That number has increased over 31 percent since the year 2000. (Article written by Tove Tupper at KDRV.com). Is There a Shortage of Homes for Rent in Your Neighborhood?

Well - I don't know if there is technically a 'shortage' in my area (Loudoun County, VA). That being said, there are very few GOOD rental options, and by that I mean value for money. They are either overpriced, or outdated with a poor layout... or a combination of the two. Rentals are fun...

Live grass: pros and cons
There's just something wonderful, like tender childhood memories, about mown grass. Whether you're lying in the shade on an extremely hot day, playing badminton, walking a dog or a cat, or sitting outside on a pleasant evening, a grass carpet favors your mind and body.
Although most people adore live grass around ― all that inspiring green nap and incredible grace ― they wouldn't like to deal with grass growing, as it takes a lot of time and patience to take care of their own lawns.
Furthermore, if you live, for example, in Los Angeles, you will be shocked by how much drinkable water is lost for watering the endless surface of lawns.
Over millions of gallons of valuable liquid are dumped into grass every day, throughout the year. Moreover, the mowers and blowers usually produce the regular, nerve-racking noise on different days, even weekends. And let's don't forget about air pollution caused by the numerous gas-powered push mowers that cut all that splendid grass lawns.
The best solution for all seasons!

The install was nicely done. Great decision my "lawn" is beautiful all year round and I sold the lawn mower!
Our yard looks great. Wonderful company to work with – very professional crew. Highly recommend.
GreenPros just completed laying artificial turf around our backyard area, and we could not be happier with the finished product. The crew were professional, experts, and did an all-around amazing job!

While we were on Crete, we had the extraordinary opportunity to visit Gill and Derek Pearce at their organic lavender and olive farm, The Lavender Way.
The Lavender Way is the only organic lavender farm in Crete. They produce and sell essential oils, sachets, gels, spritzers, tea and hand-made wands, and they ship worldwide.
Lavender plants and olive trees clearly love each other! To show you pictures of these two growing in harmony together, I created a slideshow on Flickr (including all my pictures from Greece and Crete).
Within moments of meeting Gill and Derek, I felt as if I was meeting old friends. Their philosophy, approach to the plants, and love of beauty and essential oils left me feeling right at home. Gill showed us her remarkable journal tracking all the lavender plants and species, where they are planted and their progress. These lavender plants are well loved!
In the drying room were tables covered with lavender! Infusions of St Johns Wort and Carrot Seed were tucked away. Gill showed us the different species of lavender flowers and explained the different oils and products produced.
As we wandered through the lavender fields, we were greeted by mounds of vibrant healthy lavender, olive trees, wild herbs and bamboo . . . Oh and did I mention the view of the Aegean sea from their house? Beauty everywhere I looked!
The picture here was taken at the lunch we shared together at a local restaurant. We never even opened the menu–they just asked the chef what was fresh and platters of food arrived!
If you're tempted to treat yourself to some wonderful lavender oils, wands or tea from Crete, this is the place!
