Creating a Cozy Home //
One thing I love about winter is the chance to finally wrap up in a cozy blanket, turn on your favorite show (*cough* friends on netflix*cough*), and sip on something warm and tasty.
While the days have been warmer than I would like, the nights are still staying fairly cold. I know one day I will probably regret wishing for colder weather but that day is not today. Instead, these photos have me daydreaming of fluffy rugs, plush pillows, and warm blankets; perfect for a cold winter day.
The good thing about creating a cozy home is that the weather doesn't have to hit blizzard like conditions. Although, can we all agree that thoughts of curling up in a warm blanket sound much better when it isn't 75 degrees outside?
No matter what the weather looks like outside of your window, here are some ways to create a cozy home. And who wouldn't want a cozy home all year long?

Holiday Tablescape Ideas //
We're in the double digits in December. And in a few shorts weeks we'll be ringing in a new year! Even though I'm saying it, I still cannot believe it.
But here we are! Holiday parties have commenced, homes are decorated and smelling wonderfully of fresh trees and garland, and I'm playing Christmas music A LOT. I am one happy girl.
While the Beach Palace won't be having any holiday parties before Christmas, I wanted to share these lovely holiday tablescape ideas. It's always nice to have a few ideas up your sleeve for when the time comes. Continue reading

Interior Envy // Using Maps as Decor
Before I start getting into Christmas decor and decorations, I wanted to share this idea. I've been seeing maps as decor more and more lately. There's a certain wanderlust effect of having maps on your walls. Whether it's a map of your favorite city, a world map as an accent wall, or a gallery of maps in the same shade, there's a style that can fit in any home.
My love of copper is no secret so, it isn't too surprising that I was drawn to the photo above. Pair copper accents with a NY and Paris map, a city I already enjoy and one I would love to visit, and it's a done deal. I'm also partial to the gallery wall of maps in the same shade of yellow.
Check out a few ways to use maps as decor:
WTRMLN WTR // summer in your mouth
Over the summer when I was in NY, I walked by this tiny shop with bright pink walls and a black exterior. This "shop" was wide enough for a fridge and long enough for really only one person to be comfortable. There was a sign out front that read "WTRMLN WTR: Summer in your mouth". I was intrigued.

Addivant recently announced the completion of the first phase of capacity expansions at Gulf Stabilizers Industries (GSI), the company's joint venture in Al Jubaïl, Saudi Arabia. Once completed, the production capacity of hindered phenolic antioxidants, ANOX 20 and ANOX PP18 and, phosphite antioxidant ALKANOX® 240 will double to 10,500 metric tons.
GSI's Board of Directors also announced that plans are underway to expand production capacity of the ANOX® NDB® product line to 24,000 metric tons per annum to meet growing customer demand for a range of new, higher performing products.
GSI is a joint venture between Addivant and Zamil ChemPlast, one of Saudi Arabia's leading industrial manufacturing companies. "We have worked closely with our customers in the Middle East since 2001, when we were the first additive company to invest in the region. Today, GSI remains the only local manufacturer of antioxidants and we are committed to support our customers with innovation, security of supply, and overall value" said Peter Smith, Addivant CEO and GSI Chairman of the Board.
"The rapid expansion of the Middle East polymer industry over the past two decades has been impressive and it will continue in the years ahead with the downstream markets playing an increasingly important role. Smith added, "With our breadth of specialty additives and formulation capabilities, we will continue to support our customers in the growth of applications in the automotive, packaging, agriculture, building and construction, and medical markets".
"ALKANOX 240, ANOX 20 and ANOX PP18 represent key building blocks of our ANOX NDB blended products, which are today's preferred additive solution for customers in the region", stated Adel Alghassab, Zamil ChemPlast President and GSI Board Member. Alghassab added, "By investing in additional capacity and new technology, we are confirming our long term commitment to growth in this sector and support for our local customers in terms of supply and technical innovation".
ANOX NDB enables multiple polymer additives to be incorporated in non-dusting physical forms. These forms are proven to increase productivity, reduce production costs, advance final product quality, and improve workplace health and safety. Using ANOX NDB also eliminates the administrative and logistics costs of purchasing individual raw materials.

Doyle, Arthur Conan: Rodney Stone. V1. 18 Jan 2011
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, DL (22 May 1859 7 July 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.
Rodney Stone is a historical novel about boxing during the Regency period, that curiously brings together Lord Nelson and the sport of boxing. Doyle had always been fond of boxing, had reveled in the history of the prize-ring, and in Rodney Stone his enthusiasm and knowledge are apparent.. As usual the action-episodes are first-rate; and as usual the historical personages are not an integral part of the story, but Doyle wanted to reconstruct an age, and so Nelson, the Prince Regent, Sheridan, Fox, Beau Brummell, and others, pop in and out of the pages for the sole purpose of creating a "period piece." Arthur Conan Doyle believed that this book was an important factor in the surge of interest in boxing after the turn of the century.

Many thanks for uploading this book. The standard of proof-reading and formatting is excellent. I only noticed one very minor typographical error (I'm sorry I didn't note the location) and it did nothing to detract from my enjoyment.
The book itself offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of prize-fighting in the early 19th century, and especially the contrasting lives of the so-called Corinthians (the rich dandies who patronised the sport) and the pugilists themselves. The climactic fight scene is as exciting as anything that Conan Doyle has written. There's also a nice murder mystery to sweeten the plot. Don't be put off by the slow-ish start; once you get past the long opening paragraphs, the story moves along at a good pace. One minor correction to the above description: The prince mentioned in the description is the Prince of Wales; he didn't become Prince Regent until the formal start of the Regency in 1811 (in the book, he is always referred to simply as the Prince).

Sunder Lal Hora
Sunder Lal Hora (1896 - December 8, 1955) was an Indian ichthyologist and was known for his biogeographical theory on the affinities of Western Ghats and Indo-Malayan forms. He was the second Indian director of the Zoological Survey of India, succeeding Baini Prashad.
Hora was born at Hafizabad in the Punjab on 2 May 1896. He schooled in Jullunder before college at Lahore. He met Thomas Nelson Annandale who visited his college in Lahore in 1919 and was invited to the Zoological Survey of India. In 1921 he became in-charge of ichthyology and herpetology and in 1947 became Superintendent of the Z.S.I. and then Director after Baini Prashad moved to become an advisor to the government. He died on December 8, 1955.[1][2]
The Satpura hypothesis, a zoo-geographical hypothesis proposed by him that suggests that the central Indian Satpura Range of hills acted as a bridge providing for the Malayan affinity of many Indian fauna and flora in the peninsula and the Western Ghats of India. He used the suctorial adaptations of torrent fishes to support this biogeographical hypothesis, however new research suggests that the examples he used were cases of convergent evolution.[3]
Hora was also among the Indian pioneers of fish and wildlife conservation and pointed out the effect of dams on the migrations of riverine fishes and noted the poor design of fish ladders in Indian dams.[4]
A genus of ricefish, Horaichthys ("Hora's Fish"), the sole member of the family Horaichthyidae is named after him.

Filipino is the standard register of the Tagalog language[3] and the national language of the Philippines,[4] sharing official status with the English language.[5] As of 2007, Tagalog is the first language of 28 million people,[6] or about one-third of the Philippine population, while 45 million speak Filipino as their second language.[1] Filipino is among the 185 languages of the Philippines identified in the Ethnologue.[7] Officially, Filipino is defined by the Commission on the Filipino Language (KWF) as "the native language, spoken and written, in Metro Manila, the National Capital Region, and in other urban centers of the archipelago."[8] Filipino is ideally a pluricentric language.[9] Indeed, there have been observed "emerging varieties of Filipino which deviate from the grammatical properties of Tagalog" in Davao City[10] and Cebu,[11] which together with Metro Manila form the three largest metropolitan areas in the Philippines. In reality, however, Filipino has been variously described as "simply Tagalog in syntax and grammar, with no grammatical element or lexicon coming from ... other major Philippine languages,"[12] and as "essentially a formalized version of Tagalog."[13] In most contexts, Filipino is understood to be an alternative name for Tagalog,[14][15] or the Metro Manila dialect of Tagalog.[16][17][18]
There was no common language in the Philippine archipelago when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. The three major linguae francae were Kapampangan, Ilocano, and Visayan. As the Philippine languages are all closely related and therefore easy for Filipinos to learn, most speakers of smaller languages spoke two or more such regional languages. By 1898 the common language was Spanish, spoken by around 70% of the population.
The first dictionary of Tagalog language was written by the Czech Jesuit missionary Paul Klein in the beginning of the 18th century. Klein spoke Tagalog and used it actively in several of his books. He wrote the first dictionary, which he later passed over to Francisco Jansens and José Hernandez.[19] Further compilation of his substantial work was prepared by P. Juan de Noceda and P. Pedro de Sanlucar and published as Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala in Manila in 1754 and then repeatedly[20] reedited with the last edition being in 2013 in Manila.[21]
On November 13, 1936, Commonwealth act No. 184 created the National Language Institute and tasked it with making a study and survey of each existing native language, hoping to choose which was to be the base for a standardized national language.[22] The three main contenders were Tagalog, Visayan, and Ilocano.
On 14 July 1936[citation needed], the Surián ng Wikang Pambansâ (National Language Institute) selected Tagalog as the basis of the Wikang Pambansâ (National Language) based on the following factors:
- Tagalog is widely spoken and is the most understood in all the Philippine Regions;
- It is not divided into smaller daughter languages, as Visayan or Bikol are;
- Its literary tradition is the second richest of all Filipino languages [clarification needed], most developed and extensive (mirroring that of the Tuscan language vis-à-vis Italian). More books are written in Tagalog than in any other autochthonous Philippine language but Spanish, but this is mainly by virtue of law and privilege;
- Even though Spanish had always been the language of Manila, the political and economic center of the Philippines during the Spanish and American eras, Tagalog was the prehispanic language option.
- Spanish was the language of the 1896 Revolution and the Katipunan, but the revolution was led by people who also spoke Tagalog.[citation needed]
On December 13, 1937, President Manuel L. Quezon issued Executive order No. 134, s. 1937, approving the adoption of Tagalog as the basis of the national language of the Philippines, and declared and proclaimed the national language so based on the Tagalog dialect, as the national language of the Philippines.[23]
In 1959, the language became known as Pilipino in an effort to dissociate it from the Tagalog ethnic group.[24]
Later, the 1973 Constitution provided for a separate national language to replace Pilipino, a language which it termed Filipino. However, Article XV, Section 3(2), mentions neither Tagalog nor Pilipino as the basis for Filipino, instead calling on the National Assembly to:
take steps toward the development and formal adoption of a common national language to be known as Filipino.
This move has drawn much criticism from the nation's other ethnic groups.
In 1987, a new constitution introduced many provisions for the language.[25] Article XIV, Section 6, omits any mention of Tagalog as the basis for Filipino, and states that:
as Filipino evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.
And also states in the article:
Subject to provisions of law and as the Congress may deem appropriate, the Government shall take steps to initiate and sustain the use of Filipino as a medium of official communication and as language of instruction in the educational system.
The regional languages are the auxiliary official languages in the regions and shall serve as auxiliary media of instruction therein.
Republic Act No. 7104, approved on August 14, 1991, created the Commission on the Filipino Language, reporting directly to the President and tasked to undertake, coordinate and promote researches for the development, propagation and preservation of Filipino and other Philippine languages.[26] On May 13, 1992, the commission issued Resolution 92-1, specifying that Filipino is the
indigenous written and spoken language of Metro Manila and other urban centers in the Philippines used as the language of communication of ethnic groups.[27]
However, as with the 1973 and 1987 Constitutions, 92-1 neither went so far as to categorically identify nor dis-identify this language as Tagalog. Definite, absolute, and unambiguous interpretation of 92-1 is the prerogative of the Supreme Court in the absence of directives from the KWF, otherwise the sole legal arbiter of the Filipino language.
Filipino was presented and registered with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), by Ateneo de Manila University student Martin Gomez, and was added to the ISO registry of languages on September 21, 2004 with it receiving the ISO 639-2 code fil.[28] In June 2007, Ricardo Maria Nolasco, Chair of the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (Commission on the Filipino Language), acknowledged that Filipino was simply Tagalog in syntax and grammar, with as yet no grammatical element or lexicon coming from Ilocano, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, or any of the other Philippine languages. He said further that this is contrary to the intention of Republic Act No. 7104 that requires that the national language be developed and enriched by the lexicon of the country's other languages, something that the commission is working towards.[29] On 24 August 2007, Nolasco elaborated further on the relationship between Tagalog and Filipino in a separate article, as follows:
Are "Tagalog," "Pilipino" and "Filipino" different languages? No, they are mutually intelligible varieties, and therefore belong to one language. According to the KWF, Filipino is that speech variety spoken in Metro Manila and other urban centers where different ethnic groups meet. It is the most prestigious variety of Tagalog and the language used by the national mass media.
The other yardstick for distinguishing a language from a dialect is: different grammar, different language. "Filipino", "Pilipino" and "Tagalog" share identical grammar. They have the same determiners (ang, ng and sa); the same personal pronouns (siya, ako, niya, kanila, etc.); the same demonstrative pronouns (ito, iyan, doon, etc.); the same linkers (na, at and ay); the same particles (na and pa); and the same verbal affixes -in, -an, i- and -um-. In short, same grammar, same language.[30]
On 22 August 2007, it was reported that three Malolos City regional trial courts in Bulacan decided to use Filipino, instead of English, in order to promote the national language. Twelve stenographers from Branches 6, 80 and 81, as model courts, had undergone training at Marcelo H. del Pilar College of Law of Bulacan State University following a directive from the Supreme Court of the Philippines. De la Rama said it was the dream of Chief Justice Reynato Puno to implement the program in other areas such as Laguna, Cavite, Quezon, Nueva Ecija, Batangas, Rizal, and Metro Manila.[31]
Filipino vs. Tagalog[edit]
This section requires expansion. (November 2013) |
In practical terms, Filipino is the formal name of Tagalog, or even a synonym of it. It is sometimes described as "Tagalog-based", part of a political fiction that the national language is based on an amalgam of Philippine languages rather than on Tagalog alone.[32][33] It is usually called Tagalog within the Philippines and among Filipinos to differentiate it from other Philippine languages, but it has come to be known as Filipino to differentiate it from the languages of other countries; the former implies a regional origin, the latter a national. This is similar to the concept of the names given to the Spanish language, where Castilian tends to be used within Spain, and Spanish in international settings.[34]
In connection with the use of Filipino, or specifically the promotion of the national language, the related term Tagalista is frequently used. While the word Tagalista literally means "one who specializes in Tagalog language or culture" or a "Tagalog specialist", in the context of the debates on the national language and "Imperial Manila", the word Tagalista is used as a reference to "people who promote or would promote the primacy of Tagalog at the expense of [the] other [Philippine] indigenous tongues".[35]
Official status[edit]
Filipino is constitutionally designated as the national language of the Philippines and, along with English, as one of the two official languages.[36]

This hotel is located just off Route 80 with easy access to the hotel. Rooms were very spacious and clean and hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast (which is included) was excellent. They even provided free beverages (soda and water) at the front desk. Overall, an excellent hotel for the money.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Very friendly and helpful staff and very clean. It's location is near major traffic arteries, so you don't have to go far to get back on the highway. The free breakfast offered from 6:30-10 was more than adequate. Great Hotel.

We have stayed at the Radisson next door to this hotel two to three times and remained largely unimpressed with the sleep number beds and the upkeep of the Radisson. Whenever were in the area again we will be getting a suite the HI Express. The convenience of the small fridge was amazing. I have recently had weight loss surgery and with some where to store my left over food it saved me money. The bed was extremely comfortable! ...

Staff didn't care we have been told about Jacuzzi. Didn't know who told us and didn't make an offer to correct issue. Will never stay at a Holiday Inn Express again!

System font use aside, the snowflake logo (albeit one cleverly concealing spermatozoa design) is not the best choice for a company plying its trade in a snowboarding industry. By the way, both names are taken already. There's a good chance you won't be able to secure a trademark, but invite possible legal problems, instead. |

both names feel like they are trying too hard. why don't you go with something more personal. burton was named after the founder, never summer was after some mountains, etc. also does anyone else see a similarity to venture snowboards on the blue snowflake?

You're a lurker on the forum and you still didn't do the intro video? Come on man, you should know the forum rips into people when they post this survey/question bs on their first post without an intro video.
Honestly all of this branding/name stuff doesn't really matter anyway (although I wouldn't be surprised if both your names are already trademarked). Your product is what matters, and even a mediocre name like 'wasteland industries' is fine if your product is amazing and useful. I suppose a name that has to do with whatever 'cool' product you create would make sense, but you haven't told us jack about your secret product, so how can anyone even help you with the name besides shouting generic snowboard names at you.

Only reason I am posting is because I like your UserName...
You haven't given us any concepts on your technology. So patent that, then come back to us... a name is just a name till you brand it with many peripherals co-marketing your brand/name. And, yes, your design skills are not too impressive of the images you posted. PM me if this is legit... I do Marketing, and what I will tell you first, is the idea and the name are just step... a baby step. And, by the way, H20 I would stray from... WasteLand should have a creative garbage can of some sort, but still, we know nothing from what you have given us. (This is the wrong forum for all this, don't even know why I am posting this, when I'm just hoping the NorthEast gets more snow than just an inch or 2 with this wkns storm dusting.)

It may surprise many but women are a key part of Qatar's master plan to enter the sporting big leagues, and as if to the underline that ambition, a female athlete was Qatar's main flag bearer at Friday's Olympic opening ceremony
August 1, 2012 9:34 by Reuters
With its lavish Olympic headquarters next to the iconic Savoy hotel in one of London's poshest districts, Qatar is putting its money where its mouth is in a bid to join the world's leading sporting nations.
The tiny oil and gas-rich Gulf state has for the duration of the Games converted an engineering institute on a bank of the River Thames into an adobe-walled traditional Qatari home, complete with wrought-iron Arab lamps and plush furniture.
Luxury department store Harrods is the caterer for the venue, which is only a short distance from another symbol of Qatari ambition, the newly-built and Qatari-funded Shard tower, the tallest building in the European Union.
The largesse is in keeping with Qatari efforts to boost its global profile – on the diplomatic stage, where it punches far above its weight, in the business world, where it is a much courted investor, and in the sports arena.
It is in sports, from an international public relations perspective, that Qatar has won arguably the biggest prize of all – hosting the 2022 soccer World Cup.
But Qatar is not happy to stop there, said the country's Olympic Committee chief Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, casually referring to his country's plan to bid for the 2024 Olympics, as well as a raft of other sporting events.
"This all comes from our vision and our strategy. If you look to Qatar's vision in sport, this is to become a leading nation in the world," said Saoud, a member of the ruling Thani family, speaking in London on Tuesday.
"You cannot do this without having the infrastructure ready, without having big events, such as world championships, the Olympic Games, different regional games," he told Reuters at the Qatari Olympic committeeheadquarters, which showcased Qatari culture and achievements in sport and other fields.
Some may be sceptical about Saoud's bold ambition – only 250,000 of Qatar's population of 1.7 million are citizens, and they are not known for their sporting history – but Thani's vision stretches far beyond the confines ofQatar's borders.
Qatar, a small peninsula adjoining Saudi Arabia, hopes to become a sports hub for the Middle East and North Africa, a part of the world that has generally not invested heavily in sport or cultivated much of a sporting tradition.
"Qatar has a very small population. But we are thinking about having such a centre for the whole Middle East and North Africa region," Saoud said.
"There's so many countries and athletes who would love to participate and train, but they don't have the facilities," he added.
It may surprise many but women are a key part of Qatar's master plan to enter the sporting big leagues, and as if to the underline that ambition, a female athlete was Qatar's main flag bearer at Friday's Olympic opening ceremony.
Qatar plans to build a high performance training centre for female athletes by 2016.
"The high performance centre is one of the pieces we have in the master plan," Saoud said.
He batted away reporters' suggestions that his country's four female athletes in this year's Games – Qatar's first female athletes at any Olympics – were a token gesture by a reticent conservative Islamic state to mollify Olympic authorities.
"Qatar hasn't been asked to bring females to the Games. This is a misunderstanding. Qatar has been developing female sport since 2000. We've (Qatari women) been participating in different international competitions," Saoud said.
"You can't just send an athlete to the Olympic Games. This is the key point. You have to qualify. And we tried, but we did not succeed," he added.
Saoud said he had no doubts Qatar would develop its female sporting talent quickly, before heading off to the Olympic stadium, which along with other venues he said he would study for sustainability tips for future Qatari sports events.

Your home is gorgeous and I love your landscaping! My parents bought a house that I lived in during college that my sister lives in now- it was def. a fixer upper complete with leaky basement and jungle yard. It's now seeing much better days! I want your tulips, by the way! Beautiful.

Hi Pam,
Love what you have done with the home. It must have been hard living in the basement for that long. We did a kitchen reno a few years ago and had hardwood extended through our main level. We only had to partially live in the basement for 3 months. We still had all the bedrooms on the second floor we could go to. My husband is not handy with tools either, so I can picture what his look would be if I wanted the same house. Love what you have done with the landscaping, it it beautiful.

Such a charming home Pam! You and Mr. Simple have certainly worked your magic on it. My first home was a 1940"s Cape Cod that we updated over the years so seeing your home brings back happy memories.

Your home is gorgeous! I would definitely have bought that home, even if it wasn't the best deal as long as it was in a good neighborhood. Your home is a gem. I could easily see through the weeds :)

I would have bought it in a heart beat. When my husband was going through his ugly divorce he needed a home. Though he lived in my home, he needed one for him and his kids. So he bought the one we live in now. It was horrible, but for some reason I saw lots of potential. With him being a licensed contractor we went to work. I learned more than I had bargained for, but the end result is fabulous. It feels so good to know that you did the work. Atleast for me it is very satisfying.
You have a gorgeous home. Love it.

You had a vision. We thought we would live in our now 72-yr-old colonial for 5 yrs but 12 years later and after an expansion project 6 yrs later we are still here. Had I known, I would have looked some more. You have a very pretty property.

text: ABSTRACT: In this manuscript, we provide two case examples that illustrate how single-case designs (alternating treatments, multiple baseline, and reversal) can be used to evaluate manipulable influences on school performance. In each case, an intervention plan is proposed for a student, and the success of the intervention is evaluated within a single-case design. The intervention plan is considered to constitute a hypothesis regarding the relation between the treatment and student behavior. By using single-case designs to evaluate this hypothesized relation, both the internal validity of the intervention and the applicability of the intervention to ongoing school programs can be established.

Got a cutting and doing some background information, does this strain really take 70 weeks to flower? Longs Peak Blue is a mostly indica variety that has blueberry and skunk background courtesy of its parents Old Blue and Rare Dankness #1. This is a high yielding hybrid marijuana that emits strong skunk aroma when it matures and especially when the leaves are brushed. It is relatively easy to grow and can adapt to either indoor or outdoor growing. Sea of green and greenhouse are very ideal for this weed plant as these methods can maximize its yield and growth potential. For indoor growing, it is advised to use a good filtering machine to mask the odor coming from this ganja. Longs Peak Blue will need about 70 weeks to finish its flowering stage and while at it, it tends to be really stinky inside the grow room. It will grow buds that are elongated with good flower to leaf ratio and decent amount of sticky resin crystals. Yield is high and the grower's patience is amply rewarded when harvest time comes. http://www.seedbankreview.com/rare-dankness-longs-peak-blue/ i am assuming a typo, meant at 7 weeks..........I hope or i pull it now
I've had a few plants around a year later. That's when I've re-veged and flowered a second time though. Noticed that Dutch Passion sells regular blueberry seeds and fem. I'll check out any of these newer high yielding blueberry hybrids. That 'blue satellite' w coarse branching was wicked. So dense I got budrot like w chocolate chunk. I'd try that again though and the bluebonic. Any other good Blueberry hybrids around?
I have a bubbleberry x reefermans sour D. You can totally taste the berry and the Diesel and it has a funky almost fermented smell to it. The longs peak is sweeter and smoother. I like the contrast between the two because with the Longs peak you can also totally taste the berry and the OG in it but it is completely different than the BB x RSD. Both are distant relatives of each other and none of the goodness from the berries, or the OG, or diesels is gone yet still so totally different! I believe glad got a little of the BB x RSD and has the same Longs Peak.
I just received some cuttings from belle and glad and will be posting pics frequently. Will try and get some posted tonight.
http://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/389490-my-current-grows-continues.html A Week old (to me) this thursday, Glad and Belle as well.
Typo... Should be 70 days. Don't get your panties in a ruffle. It is not a year and a half flowering time.
I just finished up a run of them....I pulled them at 65 days, they were prob 25% amber, and they were very likely the same mom. hey JOC....make sure you set up either poles in your plant pot, or put a scrog type screen above them for support. these things swell up and get really heavy. they were unable to support themselves after week 5. I had to find many of them laying over on top of themselves and do this the hard way. I couldn't believe their thirst for nutes!
All the same LPB mother. Buds swell, is fuckin right! Love this strain. 70 days (or close to it.) This is one of those strains you do not want to take early because they swell up so much.
The smell of the LPB in flowering is great! Other than that, it was too leafy, not above average in potency, likes to foxtail due to the RD#1 (Grows like a beast but can foxtail) and lost a lot of the blueberry smell after it dried. I'm not a fan of old school weed and that's exactly what it reminds me of. The only old school looking weed I keep around is Chemdawg D. The LPB yield was good but I think there is much better out there. I did enjoy the RD GTH#2 in everyway!
I am surprised you say that. But you do have access to much more than I do, that's for sure, but I love the LPB. Hopefully I just have a good mother cuz I know that old blue smell is strong as fuck after it's dried and It gets me ripped. I bet that Chemdawg D is bad as a motherfucker too!
Gonna pop 10 more LPB sooner or later, if I find a better one you can have it Glad. The one you got is nice and I haven't totally dialed it in yet!
I got in on this LPB train, thanks to TheMan13. My babies arent quite as big as yours yet, but theyre working on their third node =) Cant wait to see how it goes
Just picked up a couple of teens of this yesterday along with a bunch of others. Excited to see how it turns out. Luckily, they're ready to go to flower already
There's a strain I haven't ran in awhile. Make sure you use lots of supports. It's always fun watching those colas swell at the end of flowering.

This review is from: Sedna PCI Express (PCIe) SATA III (6G) SSD Adapter with 1 SATA III Port and Hybri Disk Software for HDD Acceleration
Pros: none do not purchase as there is no support and they don't care. That's why I give them no eggs as they still don't work with the install disc code that are invalid . My mistake as I had to give one egg or this would not get posted.
Cons: Well I thought I would take a chance on this product only the codes do not work when trying to install them? So I had tried to contact there support for a few months now and the one response that I had gotten said they were on holiday in NYC and would contact me next week when they got back ? Evidently they never got back as I had tried several times to contact them since then and that was in the early part of Febuary. Still have gotten no responce's to e-mails regarding this issue which they clearly know about!!!
Other Thoughts: I had purchased 2 cards in December of 2014 and its near the end of March 2015 with only one response from them on Holiday. So my advice is don't purchase and get something else as clearly they don't care about there product or the customers!!!!
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Quad-Core 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W EU80580PJ0606M Desktop Processor
Pros: Well if you have a 775 board which I have I wanted to upgrade from a Dual Core to a Quad Core for playing games with much better performance and graphics as this proccessor handles much more then a dual core does .
Cons: I actually have no complaints about this processor at all.
Other Thoughts: I wish they didnt do away with the 775 boards as I liked working with them the most but everything changes. I think that upgrading your system helps save you a lot of money. Instead of buying a newer system that should be custom built by you for what you want and not just factory made systems. Everyone cant build computers so they get store bought systems. I'm thankfull for stores like Newegg

Pros: works great and was detected at the right speed from in the Bios. Works well on a gamming system for my grand daughter.
Cons: only con for me is that I didn't buy 2 sets at the Black Friday Sale or more as now I have ordered more for my son's computer
Other Thoughts: Nice memory , works well

Thank you for bringing your question to dLife. You have been in tight control reported as around 6.5% HbA1c level but for the last year, your providers have recommended that you should maintain a 7-7.5% level. There are studies that show that tight control can increase cardiac risk especially if the person experiences episodes of hyopglycemia. This could be why your provider feels it is safer for you to stay between 7-7.5%. You should ask your provider about why you need to change your goals.
Retinopathy is a long term complication from Diabetes. The retinopathy could be the result of the progression of the disease. Having a higher HbA1c may have hastened the symptoms or maybe it would have developed anyway.
