For my Grandfather (R.I.P.)Mature
A poem for my grandfather who died on 10/7/11 love your granddad, in our hearts forever
(There are a few spelling and punctuation errors as this was a rough first draft.)
On this terrible day of 2011
God's angels sent you to beautiful heaven
Tears have been shed, hearts are broken
but with your joy and kindness; haven has awoken.
Together we have cried an ocean of tears,
We feel so empty and hold many fears;
But Granddad would want us to know he's in a good place
And he's watching us with a smile on his face.
Your parting has more or less left a void
So with we've filled it up with remembered joy,
A friendship shared; a laugh; a kiss,
Ah yes these things we so greatly miss.
The days have gone where your family arrived,
And entered our house through the drive.
Gone are the days of sudden walks and trips
And gone are the nags to play battle-ships
Gone are the times to visit thorpe park;
Where you were always the centre of our hearts.
Gone are the days of your colossal hugs,
As you squeeze us tight, your face so smug.
You have always been the admiration,
the centre of all inspiration.
Your kindness reflected upon us all,
You were the world, and definitely more.
I can't remember a time before your love,
Never stopped even reigning above.
For me I'm glad, he got to meet,
And now I feel our connection is complete.
Thinking back now, I really must say,
I feel lucky and privileged to have know him this day.
For in my life you have played a special part;
The memories I treasure, locked up in my heart.
Although he's gone, we'll all be together,
his spirit will live on through us forever,
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star,
As he will be looking down on us afar.
We know when god called you, you had to go;
But we want you to know, granddad we miss you so;
So I leave you on this, forget him never,
He will carry on in our hearts; remembered forever xxxx

October 2015 - Navigator of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
10/04/ to 10/11/2015 Cruise Navigator Of the Seas
Me, My Wife and Daughter Son In Law and 2 Year Old Grandson went on the Navigator, I talked my daughter into going and bringing my Grandson for the first time. We got processed in and onboard and we met at Guest services at 12:45 PM, My Grandson was extremely tired from 5hrs. drive and the embarking process and I asked the Lady Guest Services Manager if they coud get them in their room and she flatly said No! Just 15 Min. before the rooms were to be ready at 1Pm and she wouldn't help us!! And later on when I went down to put our money in our account I saw the same woman talking to two older people and overheard them thanking her for getting them into their room early! Later on we got situated in our Balcony Cabin and used the restroom, and My Wife had trouble getting it to flush , the stateroom attendant messed with it and the Tv didn't work, the safe wouldn't open, and 2 hours later I got someone to come open it so she could take her medication. At nights The AC was Hot and during the day it froze us, so I needed it to be cold at night and so so in the Day. The food wasn't good at the Buffet or the dining Room. The workers at the Buffet were unfriendly and sullen, and Lazy as well, later on I found out why! The ships going to Florida in 2016 and they don't have a choice which ship they serve on I was told by one Crewmember. Last year the cruisewas Ok but this year very different!. Ill be going back to Carnival next year, Ive been on 7 Cruises with them and not one problem!! And a lot more friendlier. We were Platinum with RCCL, and were going for Diamond but no more!

Understanding the Role of Age, Work Context, and Task Demands on Managers' Attitudes
Lewen, Lisa Joy
MetadataShow full item record
Despite the availability, capability, and inclination of older workers to remain in the workforce, research indicates that older workers are generally perceived and evaluated less favorably than younger workers (cf., Kite, Stockdale, Whitley, &Johnson, 2005). However, little is known about what factors lead older workers to be perceived less favorably. Up until this point, research investigating attitudes towards older workers has been limited to traditional work contexts. However, telework is an increasingly popular alternative work context and may be more appropriate for older workers. Another possible factor relating to evaluations of older workers is knowledge about age-related changes in ability. For example, the task demands of a job may be particularly high in fluid ability or crystallized ability. The work context and task demands of a job may be two potential sources of influence regarding perceptions of older workers. In the current set of studies, I examined the impact of applicant age, work context (telework and office work), and task demands (fluid ability and crystallized ability) on participants ratings of younger and older job applicants. In Study 1, a total of 16 job descriptions were selected based on their suitability and dependency on: office work/crystallized ability, office work/fluid ability, telework/crystallized ability, telework/fluid ability. Hiring managers recognized the jobs that were suited to telework or office work, but did not distinguish when either fluid or crystallized ability was of primary importance to a particular job. In Study 2, participants rated either younger or older applicants for 4 jobs selected from Study 1. The results of Study 2 were compelling. Older applicants were rated as more qualified when the job was dependent on crystallized ability, as well as when the job took place in a telework context. However, there were no significant differences between older and younger applicants when the job was dependent on fluid ability, or when the job took place in an office work context. The current research is critical to understanding the influence of task demands and the work context on differences between evaluations of older and younger workers.

Style: American IPA
IBUs: 70
Original Gravity: 1.064
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Crystal, Magnum, Simcoe
Track 7 Brewing Co. was admittedly an odd West Coast brewery for one very conspicuous omission in its beer line-up when its doors first opened – there was no IPA to be found. After several months of hearing requests (and even pleas) to add an IPA to our line-up, we released the Panic IPA in August 2012.
Panic IPA is heavily hopped with modern American hop royalty, featuring Amarillo and Simcoe. The result is an IPA that includes both subtle citrus flavors and a not-so-subtle stone fruit and slightly dank nose. Big hops and a smooth body make Panic an exceptional example of a West Coast Style IPA. After opening with no IPA on tap, panic spread through the capital city of Sac. We flirted with the recipe for several months until we had an IPA worthy of the hype. This goes out to all you IPA crazed fans. Panic optional.

- 'Laurie Baker's ideas should be brought to the mainstream'
Thiruvananthapuram: There are 12 lakh unoccupied homes in a state where there is a housing shortage of 4.5 lakh, said Chandra Dutt, Director of Centre of Science and Technology for Rural Development (COSTFORD). In a seminar titled 'Laurie Baker's Legacy' organized by Habitat Technology Group here on Sunday Dutt said , "Homes today are assets and speculative investments. This massive transformation is owing to the hyper-consumption by the middle class, outsourcing of design ideas to the West and capital flow from foreign countries to the construction sector". Dutt, a renowned social activist who co-founded the non-profit housing model with Baker, former chief minister C Achutha Menon and eminent economist K N Raj said that Baker had predicted this transformation from community mode of architecture to commodity mode and called for the rejection of imported rating systems like LEED certifications in favour of traditional vastu shastra principles. The tribute to Baker on his birth centenary was organized by Habitat Technology Group as part of its HabFest-30 exhibition event in Poojappura ground. Inaugurating the seminar, director general of National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) W R Reddy said that Baker's pioneering construction techniques and traditional low-cost technologies need to be brought to the mainstream. "Tendencies of wealth exhibitionism and seeking immediate comforts and conveniences have resulted in distorted architectural designs and practices, unsustainable housing initiatives and the inadequacy of housing in both urban and rural sectors. There are widely held misconceptions about affordable housing being meant only for the poor and that a house must by definition be a concrete-cement structure," Reddy said. Calling for an 'unlearning of such lessons', he said that the lessons left by Baker – creating living situations as close to nature as possible using locally available materials and ensuring minimal wastage in the construction cycle – could only be utilized by the construction sector after they had been enshrined as PWD and CPWD codal provisions. Echoing this sentiment, architect and COSTFORD joint director P B Sajan advocated a community-based approach to construction that involved participatory planning, education and women empowerment. Over a presentation on 'Slum free cities through community-building' that recalled a 1996 booklet by Baker titled 'Are slums inevitable', Sajan said, "The financial empowerment of women and education of children is the key to ushering in home ownership in the slums and ending the cycle of subsidy dependence." Kudumbasree former executive director K B Valsala Kumari, technocrat G Vijayaraghavan, BJP leader C Sivankutty, Poojapurra councilor B Vijayalakshmi and film critic Madhu Eravankara were also present on the occasion.

Strangers In The Night..
"How many fingers do you see?" A very blurry man asked.
"too many I guess " I tried to joke about it.
"you're sense of humor is better now , earlier you tried hitting me under the belt lady" man with a silk scarf tied on his head said.
"I thought you were a junkie , trying to .. you know" I said guiltily
"Pretty strong for a lady who lives in a castle pampered and protected " He said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Where's Martha ,she's not well , I have to take care of her " I tried to sit up .
" You're one who needs looking after kitten, Martha's gone , I asked her to leave" the stranger said without looking at me and stirring sugar in warm milk.
"Who are you , how do you know her?" I said confused.
"I am Ryan , Martha's nephew , she called me to check out on you , when that storm hit us " He said holding the glass near me.
"How did find me , or know where I was or say how did you know what I would look like ? " i doubted him
"Well my silly little kitten , there aren't many people roaming around in a storm like this , most of the locals knew it was coming and besides Martha has a picture of you at her house " Ryan said rubbing my palm. I took my hand away and tucked it under the blanket.
"Alright then , this says it all , am in the other room connecting this one , if you need me ,just call me , I won't e sleeping " Ryan said looking into my eyes , a look so serious , so concerned.
Why was this stranger being so nice to me , I had to ask.
" Don't you have to be back at your home or something , look it's ok I can take care of myself" I said trying to stand and stumbling back into the bed , the weakness had crept into my knees and my chest seemed affected by cold weather.
"I don't have a home here , like you am vacationing , I don't have to be anywhere , you better stop arguing and save yourself some energy " He smiled devilishly.
"My chest hurts " it was too late , I never wanted to complain but there was this certain air of comfort round him , it was as if I had known him for a long long time
"I did not pack my medicinces , nor do i have my stethoscope here , all I can do is rub in some clove oil " Ryan said suggestively.
"No , I um"I hesitated as my cheeks colored to a rose's hue...

International and Regional Instruments on the Prevention and Elimination of Marine Pollution from Land-based Sources
By far the greatest source of pollution to the ocean is the waste material introduced in to oceans from land. Even greater in volume than municipal wastes are industrial wastes. Industrial wastes are either introduced directly into the ocean through outfalls or indirectly through river systems that eventually run into ocean, or through the atmosphere, entering the ocean in rainfall. Liquid wastes from factories increasingly are becoming more chemically sophisticated as newer forms of synthetic products are invented. These chemicals wastes may interact synergistically in the ocean (just as smog is a synergistic interaction of chemicals in the atmosphere), sometimes creating unprecedented problems for human and animal health. A less intentional but nevertheless important source of pollution is agriculture runoff; the use of chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers in farming results in river contamination and eventually oceanic contamination.
The first regional agreement on control of land-based pollution was the Paris Convention for the Prevention of the Marine Environment from Land-based Sources, which covered the North Sea and parts of the North-East Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, it was replaced with the 1992 OSPAR Convention and we can say it contains relatively advanced rules and mechanisms to all land-based marine pollution matters.
It must be admitted, however, that overall attempts to deal with land-based marine pollution at the international level have been made only in the form of less formal instruments. It is unavoidable to conclude that the regulation at the international level remains a fragile. A problem arising here is why the regulation of the land-based marine pollution remains inadequate at the international level.
Land-based sources of contamination according to available information are the source of approximately eighty per cent of all marine pollution. Attention is given to the extensive problem of untreated treated sewage and the of biggest contaminants—plastic litter, nutrients, heavy metals, sediments, oil, and radioactive wastes. There are several causes of ocean pollution including oil pollution, marine debris, toxic materials, and ocean dumping and mining. Oil pollution is not only caused by large devastating tanker spills, it is also caused through runoff from land and industrial wastes which find their way to the ocean through drains. Other causes include intensive farming, septic tank, pesticide, animal dung, household waste, water table, waste water, nuclear waste.

New Delhi, Nov 20(ANI): External Affairs Minister SM Krishna on Friday said that Chairman of the separatist Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was free to travel wherever he wanted, including China.
Mirwaiz is expected to visit China and Pakistan later this month.
His proposed visit to China comes at a time of diplomatic skirmishes between New Delhi and Beijing, especially over China's insistence on issuing separate visas to citizens belonging to Jammu and Kashmir.
Krishna said there was nothing unusual in Mirwaiz's proposed visit to China.
"They are free to travel wherever they want. So, there is nothing unusual in somebody going to China and somebody coming from China to India or somebody going to Pakistan or coming from Pakistan to India. So, it does not make much difference," Krishna said.
Meanwhile, Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah said that Mirwaiz's visit to China would provide him an opportunity to see for himself how much progress China has made and what militancy has done to Jammu and Kashmir.
"I am happy that Mirwaiz is visiting China. He will come to see China's development and will also come to know how much destruction we have done (in Jammu and Kashmir) in the last 20 years," Abdullah said.
According to reports, Mirwaiz is visiting China as a guest of an NGO and is expected to deliver a lecture there. (ANI)

The cookies are tender, chocolate wafers that are topped with minty green shamrocks. They're easy to make, flavorful and definitely look festive enough for any St Patrick's Day celebration.

Crispy Almond Thins
Biscotti are one of my favorite cookies to have with a cup of coffee or tea, but these Crispy Almond Thins give my usual biscotti a run for their money when it comes to being the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee. These cookies are thin and crisp, with a rectangular shape that makes them perfect for dipping. They have a good flavor of ... Read More »
Homemade Oreo Cookies
Oreo cookies are the best selling cookies in the world for good reason: each cookie is a great combination of sweet, crispy, chocolatey and creamy flavors and textures. And they are even better when dipped in a tall, cold glass of milk. The cookies have been made more or less the same way for the past 100 years and some of the magic of the ... Read More »

Andy Warhol works to be auctioned in cybersale
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Seasoned art collectors and first-time buyers wanting to own an Andy Warhol will get their chance next week when 125 paintings, drawings and photographs by the artist will be auctioned in a week-long cybersale.
The global online auction from February 26 through March 5 will include works with estimated values ranging from $600 to $70,000 and bring Warhol to a much broader audience.
Interested buyers can browse and bid online and will receive updates if a higher bid comes in.
"Increasingly clients are comfortable bidding in an online format," said Amy Cappellazzo, chairwoman of Post-War and Contemporary Development at Christie's, which is conducting the online sale.
"I think that the online space is for works of art under a certain price point," she added in an interview. "Works under $50,000 or $100,000 might well be conducted in an online capacity."
Cappellazzo also believes that Warhol, who died in 1987 before the Internet became globally accessible, would have approved of the cybersale.
"Andy would have loved the Internet. He would have loved the idea that his works could be distributed far and wide and that anyone who wanted one, could get one because bringing the works to an online format will allow anyone with a credit card to buy it. I think, for sure, he would have liked that."
Warhol's 1964 "Campbell's Chicken with Rice Soup," a tin soup can filled with concrete, which is one of several produced by him, is expected to be a highlight of the online sale with a pre-sale estimate ranging from $50,000 to $70,000. Continued...

Coming out as a yes voter in the forthcoming Scottish referendum has provoked a flurry of interest from my friends. The most common question I've been asked in the past couple of weeks has been a variation on the theme of "Given Alex Salmond's lacklustre performance in the debate with Alistair Darling, are you not having second thoughts?" My answer is an unequivocal "no".
The question has come most commonly from my friends in England and overseas. My friends in Scotland understand that the question being asked of us on 18 September has little to do with Salmond. Those of us who have been engaged in passionate debate and discussion for months now – and that's most of us north of the notional border – know that while Salmond is first minister by virtue of leading the largest party in our parliament, in the event of a yes vote there's no inevitability to his continued presence in the top job.
For this is emphatically not the Scottish National party's referendum – it is Scotland's referendum. There are many voices on both sides of the debate, or perhaps I should say on all three sides of the debate, for throughout the process the "mibbies" have taken a vocal and active part, and they may yet be the ones who decide which way the chips fall. (Yes, it's a Scottish referendum and of course we have to have fried food in there somewhere.) Many of those voices are not aligned with the conventional political parties. For me, those non-aligned voices have often been the most persuasive, raising the most interestingand challenging arguments for radical change, for thinking outside the box, for provoking aspiration and ambition, for seeing in our history a template for our future.
What they all have in common is a dream of a realignment in Scottish politics. A change from the way things have been done before. No more corrupt machine politics. No more special interest. No more monocultural parties run by cookie-cutter clones.
This referendum has galvanised people who haven't engaged with politics in living memory. I heard one grandmother say in a radio interview, "This has got me off my sofa and I'm no' going back". Actress and comedian Elaine C Smith has been fronting public meetings on Glasgow housing estates where audiences have numbered in their hundreds. University lecturers report students talking about politics in a way they haven't since the Thatcher years. If we get our chance to remake our country, I don't think these people are going to melt into the background. Their dreams have been awakened – they're going to want some of them to come true.
What's been inspiring, too, has been the absence of jingoistic Braveheart nationalism. This has been an overwhelmingly civil debate about a kind of civic nationalism. It's been about an inclusive Scotland, not a narrow-minded, bigoted, hate-filled breakaway. We want our country to be better, not just more of the same.
One thing that is crystal clear is that nothing on the far side of 18 September is crystal clear. You'd have to be the Scottish Doctor with his Tardis to make any confident predictions about what the future holds. Whatever question you ask in search of hard facts is met with diametrically opposed answers from the politicians. We'll keep the pound; we won't keep the pound. We'll be in the EU; we won't be in the EU. We'll be able to watch Peter Capaldi; we won't be able to watch Peter Capaldi. It's like a divorce: "If you walk through that door, you'll never see your kids again." It's a threat that can hold us for a while, until we realise that either it's an empty threat or the price it demands is more than we are able to pay.
I understand some people believe in the union and its value to us, and I have no issue with the ones – like JK Rowling – voting no for those cogently expressed reasons. I disagree with them, but I respect their position. What I don't respect are the "fearties" – the ones whose reason for voting no is that they're afraid we'll turn out to be incapable of managing our own country. I don't want us to stay in the union because we're scared of what the future holds if we strike out on our own.
Look at our history: we invented political economy; we led the world in the practical application of science and engineering; we organised and ran the British empire; we run towards, not away, from terrorists who try to blow up our airport. How can we not believe in ourselves?
I hope we take our courage in our hands and vote yes. But whatever the outcome, I hope most of all that on 19 September we can shake hands with our opponents and still be friends.

Oct. 14, 1952 c; J. LACHER LUGGAGE CONTAINER Filed June 17, 1949 FIG.
4 ziii a VIIIIIEFIIIIlI/ll "I!!! Illa!!! Fltului! FIG.
Patented Oct. 14, 1952 TATIIENT OFFICE 2,613,847 LUGGAGE CONTAINER Carl John Lacher, Cleveland, Ohio Application Limit; 17, 1949; Serial Na'ca'ets My invention relates in general to luggage units and in particular to a handle adapted to befastened ontoa luggage container.- Previous to this time, ropes or flexible cords have been laced through openings in paper bags to form handles for shopping bags. Many different boxes have also been equipped with a bendable handle or lClaim. (craze-s4) flexible cord which was woven in "and out through openings in the walls of the box to hold the lids on or to serve as handles. However, no one has used a handle which could be quickly and easily fastened to the container without threadingthe cord through a lot of openings in the walls of the container.
Therefore, one of the objects of my invention is to'provide a handle for a container Whereinthe handle may be quickly and easily fastened to I the container. g
Another object'of' my invention is to provide a luggage container with a handle cord arranged to support the container and the contents thereof and also provide carrying loops upon opposite sides thereof.
has a plurality of openings it with the openings It aligned in spaced rows extending from the bottom of the box towardthe top or open end thereof; The holes or openings E9 in the side wall Stare similarly spaced.
The handle I l'has a handle cord 22 extendable along the side walls and across the bottom of the container It. This handle cord 22, when positioned vagainst the side walls l5 and I6, crosses the openings l8 and 9. The handle cord may be constructed 'of rope, webbing or any other suitable material which may be extended around the container and arranged to support the load and thereby reinforce the container. I have designated the handle cord 22 as having a supporting portion which engages the side walls and the bottom of the container, and as having carrying loops 2% which extend above the container upon -'opposite sides thereof and at the mouth thereof.
Another object of my invention is to provide a container with a handle wherein a handle cord is extended across the bottom and along opposite side walls of the container with fasteners extending through the walls and engaging the cord to hold it in a definite position onthe container. Another object of my invention is to provide fasteners for holding a handle cord on a luggage container.
I Other objects and a fuller understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the following description and claim, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an oblique View of my luggage container equipped with my easily attached handle; Figure 2 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 3- 3 of Figure l; and
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view the same as that of Figure 3 but illustrating a modified fastener for holding the cord in'a definite position on the walls of the container. v I
The luggage unit, the preferred embodiment of which I have illustrated and described herein, generally comprises a container l0 having a supporting handle I l. The container Ill as is best illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 is constructed from opposite side walls l5 and 16, respectively, and a The handle cord 22 is held in definite position ion thecontainer by fasteners 23, best illustrated Fi ure 3. These fasteners 23 engage the side walls l5 and E6 of the container and also the supporting portion '25 of the handle cord 22. The fasteners 23 may be constructed of plastic spring material or other suitable materials. Each fastener 23 is described as having a cord engagement portion 28 and wall engagement portions 29. In my drawings I have illustrated the cord engagement portion 28 as being substantially U- shaped, with the free ends of the legs'of the U forming the wall engagement portions 29. The cord engagement portion 28 extends through the i openings in the wall and about the support portion 25 of the handle cord 22. The Wall engagement portions 29 extend outwardly from the opening and engage the inner surface of the side wall of the container to prevent the fastener pulling out through the opening.
In attaching my handle to the box the handle cord 22 is slipped under the box and laid along the side walls l5 and Hi. The cord may be looped and these loops inserted through the openings bottom [1. These opposite sidewalls l5 and l6 1 have holes or openings l8 and I9, respectively, therein. In Figure 1, I illustrate that the wall [5 in the side walls of the container. The fasteners 23 are then inserted between the loops and the side walls and the cord pulle'd tight, thus again returning the cord to the outside of the box and pulling the cord engagement portions 28 through the openings. By using these fasteners 23 I have eliminated the necessity of lacin a long handle cord through a plurality of openings in the walls of the container.
In Figure 4 of my drawings I illustrate the combining of two fasteners into a single fastener 32. This single fastener 32 has a cord engagement portion 28 on each end thereof and wall engagement portions on each end thereof, and also a wall engagement portion 33 extending between the cord engagement portions 28. The single fastener 32 is used in the same manner as the fasteners 23 but is designed to hold the cord in two places instead of one place. The Y fastener 32 is slipped under the cord 22 when unit and put in ordinary merchandise shipping boxes. After the merchandise has been removed from the box in a store, the store owner may easily and quickly attach the handle to the box, thus converting a useless box into a convenient luggage container for his customers.
Although the invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of par..-
ticularity, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
What is claimed is:
A container and handle with the handle movably and removably attached to said container, said container having a bottom and opposite side Walls with at least one opening therein, said handle being a movable and removable endless cord arranged to support the container and provide carrying loops at the top of opposite sides of the container, said cord extending in two generally parallel paths substantially vertically along the side walls and across beneath the bottom of the v 4 container at spaced intervals along the side walls and bottom, and cord fasteners removable from the complete container and removably extendable through the spaced openings in the side walls at spaced locations along the cord, each cord fa's tener having a U-shaped mid-portion and first and second side legs extending substantially perpendicularly away from said mid-portion, said opening being large enough to pass said U-shaped mid-portion and two thicknesses of said cord, the U-shaped mid-portion of a cord fastener being loosely mounted through said opening from the inside of the container with the cord engaging the U-shaped mid-portion and with said first and second side legs engaging the inside surface of the side wall next adjacent the opening, said cord holding said mid-portion of said fastener in place in said opening and preventing the removable fastener from passing inwardly through the opening while the handle is being used yet permitting ready removal of both -cord fastener and cord.

Work the grout into the joints with a rubber float in a figure-eight pattern. Pack the material into the joints until the joints don't take any more grout, but don't push down too hard or you'll imbed the grout into the face of the stone and add to the clean up time.
Work sections at a time and as you finish one section, and wipe down the stone in each area to remove the majority of the grout. Clean the surface of the tile by running a clean damp sponge across the tile on diagonals. Don't scrub the surface. This will remove the grout from the joints. Run the sponge lightly over the surface several times. Repeat until only a light grout residue remains.
After the grout has completely dried, thoroughly clean the stone and seal it. Once the stone has been sealed and dried a second time, the floor is ready to be enjoyed.

Disease Spotlight: Armillaria Root Rot
Armillaria invades the roots, causing symptoms of the crown that resemble a host of other problems. Trees that are infected by a less aggressive strain will decline over a period of several years. The canopy will be thin, with stunted growth, off-color foliage, branch dieback, and on conifers, an excessive crop of cones before death. Aggressive forms of armillaria will kill trees within one season.
Armillaria has a tricky adaptation that allows it to become named the "humongous fungus." (In 1992, an underground mat representing 37 acres of a continuous fungal clone in Michigan was found to be the heaviest in the world–weighing as much as a blue whale. ) Armillaria can live as a parasite, causing disease as described above, or it may live for decades as a saprophyte, happily feeding on coarse woody debris. When the opportunity arises, it can easily transform its metabolic processes from absorbing dead tissue to absorbing living plant tissue. Spread of the disease occurs when vigorous rhizomorphs grow through the soil and happen to contact healthy tree roots. Root-to-root contact or root grafting can also spread armillaria from an infected to an uninfected host.
Like all wood-invading fungi, once it has become established, there is no chemical that can eradicate it. Since armillaria is a root rot, pruning the canopy or removing a portion of the tree will have no effect. Trees that are suspected of light infections can sometimes survive several years with optimal watering and fertilization. Dead trees should be removed. Grinding the stump will prevent armillaria from remaining in the site longer than one to three years.

It is a mighty long list we say!
A month ago we heard a news that Abhishek Verma (Adi) and Aditi Bhatia (Ruhi) from Yeh Hai Mohabbatein were a couple. Days before, we heard their onscreen relatives Aly Goni (Romi) and Krishna Mukherjee (Aaliya) were also seeing each other. Just imagine two 'reported pairs' from the same show.
You can't beat that. Here is a quick lowdown on co-actors who 'friendly bonding' has created dating buzz.
Abhishek Verma and Aditi Bhatia
Show: Yeh Hai Mohabbatein
They play brothers and sisters on the show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. A few days back stories circulated how the two were extremely close to each other and even bonded off work. They dismissed it saying they are just friends.
Paras Arora and Meera Deosthale
Show: Udaan
The crackling chemistry between the two was loved by the viewers. As per sources, the two are one of the 'latest couples' in telly land. They are seen bonding even after work. Both the parties have denied the rumours.
Pearl V Puri and Hiba Nawab
Show: Meri Saasu Maa
Though their Insta accounts seem to confirm that Pearl and Hiba are more than just good friends, the couple maintain otherwise. However, reports of unrest being caused on the sets due to the excessive PDA between Pearl and Hiba and their angry spat with Aanchal Khurana seem to suggest that something is brewing indeed. Pearl was earlier linked to his Badtameez Dil co-star, Asmita Sood.
Namik Paul and Nikita Dutta
Show: Ek Duje Ke Vaaste
The two look really good together so we would not mind if they indeed became a pair. Both are from Delhi, good-looking and fitness freaks. The actors say that they are best of friends.
Rohan Mehra and Kanchi Singh
Show: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
Post his split with Yukti Kapoor, Rohan found solace with Kanchi who plays his cousin on the show. They like each other's company finding one another 'compatible'. The actor said it was too early to comment on their relationship.
Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan
Show: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
People are loving the jodi of Kartik (Mohsin Khan) and Naira (Shivangi Joshi) and as per rumours, a special relationship is brewing on the sets as well. The two have maintained the 'good friends' stance so far terming the rumours utter rubbish. Shivangi was also reportedly dating Begusarai co-star Vishal Aditya Singh.
Tejaswi Prakash Wayagankar and Namish Taneja
Show: Swaragini
The RagLak track is terribly disappointing for their fans on most occasions but stories that Teja and Namish are dating offscreen bring in some light moments. The 'good friends' have denied the buzz and laugh away at the rumours. Namish was also linked to Kanchi Singh.
Krishna Mukherjee and Aly Goni
Show: Yeh Hai Mohabbatein
The two are the latest to be hit by the 'rumouredly-in-relationship' buzz this monsoon. They have rubbished the rumours. They play uncle and niece on the show. Phew!

Beautiful Indoor / Outdoor Number plaque! This distinctive slate will brighten up the front of your house, or any room! Using a hand-cut, fine-grained slate, this sign is perfect for placing on your porch, at the bottom of the driveway, or hanging from your house or garage. Perfect as a wedding gift or housewarming gift. This weather resistant sign is approximately 11.5" x 5.5". As this is a hand-crafted number sign, the dimensions may vary slightly. We use a process called dye sublimation printing which results in an incredibly high definition finish and, because the dye is infused into the substrate and not simply printed on the surface, your plaque will never crack or peel away from the slate.Our plaques are weather resistant however, as with all inks and dyes, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will fade your slate. To ensure you get the most use out of your purchase we recommend that you don't place your plaque in an area with exposure to direct sunlight.
Due to the size and weight of the slate, we are using Fedex 3-day to keep delivery costs low.Thank you for visiting Sassy Squirrel Ink. Many more personalized products can be found at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SassySquirrelink

|Spurs great Tim Duncan announces retirement after 19 seasons
|07.11.16 at 10:45 am ET
There was no retirement tour for Tim Duncan, who called it quits on Monday in appropriately low-key fashion.
The 15-time All-Star and five-time champion wrapped up a Hall of Fame career via an announcement on the team's official web site that didn't even include a quote.
After 19 seasons, Tim Duncan announces retirement » https://t.co/kQimgv8oIB#ThankYouTD pic.twitter.com/aLua8MRZtS
— San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) July 11, 2016
Duncan, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 draft, compiled a .710 winning percentage over his 19 seasons, the highest in any pro sport over that time, according to the Spurs, and just percentage points ahead of the Patriots (.704).
The Celtics had hoped to land Duncan in the '97 lottery, but the ping-pong balls bounced the way of the Spurs and everything else is history.
Duncan finishes his career having averaged 19 points and 10.8 rebounds a game. The Spurs made the playoffs in each of his 19 seasons, and he's the only player in history to start for champions in three different decades.
|Preview: Spurs at Celtics
|01.05.11 at 12:03 pm ET
With a little more than three minutes left, and his team down 11 points in New York, San Antonio Gregg Popovich pulled his starters Tuesday night, effectively signaling, no mas. This was interesting for two reasons. First, NBA teams just don't do that, especially not in New York where the media scrutiny shines the brightest, and second, the Spurs play the Celtics tonight.
Popovich got away with it because he's Popovich, and because even the most rah-rah fan would have to admit that pulling back on a game that could maybe go either way — but looks doubtful — in early January is not really a bad idea. Plus, it's the freaking San Antonio Spurs, who won four championships since 1998 without a tenth of the drama normally associated with NBA teams, and who have the best record in the league. If Pop wants to make a statement, who's going to argue with him?
After the game, Popovich called his team's effort "pathetic," and again, he had no arguments from his players who should be in a feisty mood for their one visit to TD Garden. This one doesn't need any more advance hype — although it would be much better if Kevin Garnett was able to play against Tim Duncan.
The Spurs have the best record in the league (and the league's best offense), while the Celtics sit at No. 2 with the league's best defense. In many ways the Celtics are modeled after the Spurs, with Doc Rivers taking many lessons from his days in San Antonio with him to Boston.
This is simply as good as it gets in the NBA.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS (29-5, 8-2 last 10 games)
Offensive Rating: 112.4 (Points per 100 possessions, 1st)
Defensive Rating: 103.7 (Points allowed per 100 possessions, 9th)
Pace: 93.3 (Possessions per game, 10th)
Likely Starters: Tony Parker, Manu Ginobli, Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair, Tim Duncan
Injuries: James Anderson (Foot, out)
CELTICS (26-7, 7-3 last 10 games)
Offensive Rating: 107.6 (11th)
Defensive Rating: 90.8 (1st)
Pace: 90.8 (22nd)
Likely Starters: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, Shaquille O'Neal
Injuries: Kevin Garnett (Calf, out), Delonte West (Wrist, out), Kendrick Perkins (Knee, out).
KEY MATCHUP: Glen Davis vs. DeJuan Blair
Big Baby meet Dajuan Bear, in which 550 pounds, give or take, of bulk do battle on the boards. Blair averages 6.6 rebounds a game in 20 minutes of action. But crunch those numbers further, adjust for pace and time spent on the court and Blair is a more effective offensive rebounder than Kevin Love. Lost in the Love-fest Monday night was the fact that Davis grabbed one solitary rebound. He'll have to do better tonight.
1. Can the Celtics defense contain the Spurs?
When we think of the Spurs we don't often think of offense, but they have the league's best this season thanks to an insanely efficient attack that features a league-best 40 percent shooting from behind the arc. Manu Ginobli, Richard Jefferson, George Hill and Matt Bonner all have True Shooting percentage over 60 percent and that's before anyone has to account for Duncan or Tony Parker.
2. Is this an NBA finals preview?
While all the attention in the Western Conference has focused on the Lakers and their various serial dramas, the Spurs have quietly reinvented themselves as the class of the conference. It doesn't hurt that they have been relatively injury-free or that they have once again unearthed a gem in Gary Neal, who floated around Europe for three years before coming to the NBA. The Spurs are loaded.
3. How healthy is Rajon Rondo?
In his two games since returning from his ankle injury, Rondo has been good, but he hasn't been Rondo. We have yet to see the explosive athletic ability that is the hallmark of his game and what truly separates him from his contemporaries at the point guard position. He'll have his hands full with Parker tonight.
|Spurs, Ginobili make C's look 'awful'
|03.29.10 at 12:55 am ET
When Doc Rivers said before the game he wanted his team to take a page out of the Spurs book on winning championships and playing consistently, Manu Ginobili might as well have been the author on Sunday night.
"It was one of those nights, guys," Rivers said. "We played awful. I thought they wanted to play. You know, the first quarter I thought was terrific. I thought the bench came in in the second quarter and just everybody went iso. There was no ball movement at all with that group. And then after that I thought the starters came back in, got us back into the game, and then the third quarter was awful for us. But I thought in the third quarter is when they stopped moving the ball, I thought offensively. And defensively we struggled all night. Ginobili was fantastic and [DeJuan] Blair in the fourth quarter was a one-man wrecking crew.'
And after Ginobili finished with 28 points and the Spurs laid down a 94-73 beatdown on the Celtics on Sunday night, Rivers gave his good friend and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich a hug and a pat of congratulations on the back. And it wouldn't be surprising if Rivers said nice little player that No. 20 is.
And the fact of the matter is Ginobili has had little choice. With Tony Parker out indefinitely with a fractured bone in his right foot and Tim Duncan limited to just eight points, it's been Ginobili's team of late.
'Manu's been playing great you know for the last month," Popovich said. "He's basically taken over the team. he's been the same Manu we've had when we won championships, so you know without Tony it's really important for somebody to step up like that and he's done it."
And watching Ginobili get to the basket and drive with regularity and then be a ball hawk on defense, it was like Celtics fans were watching Rajon Rondo playing for the opposition for one night.
'Defense, defense we were very good, we were very active, we shifted very well off of the guys that we had to shift off," Ginobili said. "We played good defense on KG and Paul Pierce, nothing was easy for them and that was a big key. Offensively we made some key shots to maintain that lead so it was really always uphill for them, it was a great game.'
"Some of the plays he makes, he still suprises me," said another veteran Antonio McDyess of Ginobili. "You can never count him out because he always comes up with big plays at all times. To be new on this team and still see him doing those types of things, its still great to watch.'
Ginobili was happy to avenge a loss in Texas in December to the Celtics.
'Definitely," Ginobili said of the satisfaction of getting payback. "That was the worst we had been probably, last time we played them. Now we are kind of looking better, looking like a team at least. We are playing hard, hustling, communicating, all that. We are still making a lot of mistakes but that's part of the whole deal, but when you look at our faces going to the bench with subs and stuff it is totally different so I am glad to see that.'
Now it's the Celtics who must go back to the drawing board.
"That's basketball," Rivers said. "It happens. I thought we wanted to, but I thought it did break down tonight. I just thought everybody just held onto the ball and was going to do it themselves. You know it's funny, that's all we worked on yesterday. So clearly that didn't work. Playing against the Spurs, you know, it's extra pass. You're not going to beat them off the bounce. You're just not. And it seemed like we were hell-bent in trying to do that.
"And it's like Pop said before the game to me: 'You're not going to beat the Celtics off the bounce.' And they didn't. They moved the ball. They kept swinging it, kept passing it, kept making passes. They did what we were supposed to do.'
|Fast Break: Celtics run over by Spurs
|03.28.10 at 10:41 pm ET
The Celtics and the Spurs are alike in so many way and after one half of basketball they were practically mirror images of each other on the stat sheet and on the scoreboard. But in the third quarter, the Spurs completely dominated the action en route to a 94-73 victory Sunday night at the Garden.
It was the Celtics lowest point total of the season and their largest margin of defeat, as well. The Spurs shot 65 percent in the third quarter and outscored the C's 33-17, turning a one-point halftime lead into a romp. The Celtics scored just 30 points in the second half, or two less than Manu Ginobli who finished with 28 points.
The Celtics had won six out of seven games before this loss. The Hawks also won Sunday and moved back into a tie with the Celtics for third place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics own the tiebreaker by virtue of winning the Atlantic Division.
There were very few bright spots for the Celtics, although Kevin Garnett recorded his third-straight double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Shelden Williams scored 11 points.
Player of the Game: Manu Ginobli controlled every aspect of this game and wound up with 28 points and seven assists.
Turning Point: A close game at halftime turned into a rout as the Spurs outscored the Celtics 33-17 in the third quarter. The forgettable 12 minutes was capped off by an off-the-glass Ginobli 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded.
* Garnett hit the deck hard after he was fouled by Ginobli in the second quarter, but he bounced up after a minute and appeared to be fine.
* Tony Allen got rotation minutes again in place of Marquis Daniels, but Daniels did check in midway through the third quarter after Paul Pierce hurt his left shoulder. Neither player distinguished themselves.
* Garnett's old nemesis, Tim Duncan, missed his first four shots and finished with eight points and nine rebounds.
* A 3-pointer by Rajon Rondo was later ruled to be after the shot clock had expired.
* One game after being held to just one rebound, Rasheed Wallace grabbed six in the first eight minutes. Wallace started in place of Kendrick Perkins who missed his second game with tendinitis in his knee. Doc Rivers said before the game that he anticipates Perkins being ready to play Wednesday against the Thunder.
* Michael Finley played 14 minutes against his former team and was held scoreless. He attempted just two shots.
* Nate Robinson did play after spraining his ankle Friday against the Kings.
* DeJuan Blair was a monster with 11 rebounds in 21 minutes.
|Doc on the Spurs: 'What we want to be'
|at 9:36 pm ET
Doc Rivers remember playing for Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. But not how you might think.
Rivers was the point guard for the Spurs between 1994-96 when Popovich was the general manager.
Then Rivers retired the season before the Popovich fired Bob Hill for a 3-16 start and took over as head coach.
Four NBA titles later, the man with the second-longest head coaching tenure in the NBA is the envy of the league – including Doc Rivers.
"Well, he's earned it," Rivers said of Popovich's tenure. "Pop's been phenomenal. He's not only been a coach but he a built a whole program. San Antonio has always been very good. They just could never get over the hump. When I played there, we made it to the Western Finals against Houston and they had been there before.
"Pop came in and not only took them back there, but took them over that and he did in the right way with character players. The organization is first class and no one would have thought 10 years ago that San Antonio would be the organization that most of the league, and not just in basketball, would model their teams after and they do."
So it's no surprise that after titles in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007, the Spurs have the kind of resume that others in the league want to copy – even the mightiest of all NBA dynasties with 17 banners already hanging in the rafters.
"Well, we would like to be," Rivers said of the desire to copy the Spurs' way. "And that's what we want to be because they've been consistent with it and have done a great job with it. Everyone has their own way but there are a lot of things that I do as a coach and there are a lot of things we do as an organization that we got from them."
|Halftime: Celtics-Spurs
|at 9:15 pm ET
At the half the Celtics and Spurs are locked in a tight defensive-minded contest. Both teams are shooting around 40 percent from the floor, but the Spurs have a44-43 lead.
Kevin Garnett scored eight points in the first quarter and has 10 points and six rebounds. Garnett hit the deck hard after he was fouled by Manu Ginobli, but he bounced up after a minute and appears to be OK. Garnett's old nemesis, Tim Duncan, missed his first four shots and has only four points.
Ginobli leads all scorers with 16 points.
One game after being held to just one rebound, Rasheed Wallace grabbed six in the first eight minutes. Wallace started in place of Kendrick Perkins who missed his second game with tendinitis in his knee. Doc Rivers said before the game that he anticipates Perkins being ready to play Wednesday against the Thunder.
Michael Finley played seven minutes against his former team and was held scoreless. He attempted just one shot.
Nate Robinson did play after spraining his ankle Friday against the Kings.
The other bright spot for the Celtics was the play of Shelden Williams who had six points, three rebounds and one empahtic two-handed dunk.
|Pop on Finley: 'I don't blame him'
|at 7:55 pm ET
An hour or so before Michael Finley was set to play his old team, Gregg Popovich reflected on how it all went down. Finley had been dropped from the Spurs rotation and was looking at spending the rest of the season watching instead of playing. So, the veteran made the unusual decision to ask out of one of the best situations in the NBA.
The two talked it over in Popovich's house where Finley made his request and they decided to part ways.
"I made a decision to play other people and we honored Michael's request to seek another team," Popovich said. "He asked and he decided to do it. And to do it the right way, to do it before the cut-off date so that he could go with a team that he could play with in the playoffs."
Finley ultimately signed with the Celtics where he is on way to earning a spot in the playoff rotation. Doc Rivers all but confirmed that he was leaning that way Friday night when he noted Finley's shooting ability and veteran presence with the second unit.
Since leaving San Antonio, Finley has been nothing but complimentary about the Spurs and his time there. Popovich returned the favor Sunday night.
"Everybody asks about it and I was surprised when he asked that," Popovich said. "I didn't think that would be something that Michael Finley would ask to do. One has to be realistic and put oneself in [his] shoes. If you are toward the end of your career and somebody's not going to play you and you still want to play more basketball, what's wrong with asking to play elsewhere and trying to play as long as you possibly can?
"That's what he did and I don't blame him for that a lick," Pop continued. "He's one of the greatest guys I've ever coached, but he wanted to keep playing. He didn't want to it there on the bench for the rest of the season. Nothing wrong with that. He wanted to play."
