|George A. Tice was born October 13, 1938, in Newark, New Jersey. He spent much of his childhood moving around the east coast with his mother, but he considered New Jersey his home. Tice's father enjoyed photography as a hobby, and his son picked it up as a teenager. Tice briefly studied commercial photography at the Newark Vocational and Technical High School, but he left in 1955 to join the U.S. Navy. Tice quickly found a place in the photography department where he worked taking publicity photographs until 1959. His work with the Navy earned Tice recognition and led to a position with Edward Steichen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1960. Tice continued to work with Steichen until Steichen's death in 1973.
|Tice spent much of the 1960s raising his young family and working on his own projects, in addition to working with Steichen. He began to experiment with photographic essays tied to places and groups of people, notably several essays on the Amish in Pennsylvania. Tice prefers photograph books and porfolios as the means by which he publishes his work. In addition to his published work, Tice's photographs are included in museums and private collections, and he has been the subject of several one-person shows. He has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the the Arts, among others.

In the previous two posts, I put forth the idea that, relative to our own self, we can change the world simply by changing how we think about it. This is an important idea in many spiritual traditions, and it might be worth exploring further. I suggest that there are four levels on which this principle applies: surface culture, deep culture, surface biology, and deep biology. At each level, our ability to make this kind of change becomes more difficult.
The poem is an example of surface culture. It is not terribly difficult to mentally make this kind of change, but as I suggested we can encounter significant resistance from our fellow humans if we do. Also in that post I suggested that there is an analogy between the notion of weed and the notion of sin in Christianity. Here, I'll suggest that in our culture the notion of sin is more deeply established than the notion of weeds and that our ability to reinterpret that notion will similarly be more difficult.
Moving from the re-interpretation of ideas grounded in culture to ideas that are grounded in biology is a significant increase in difficulty, but I will argue that the principle still holds. We may think that pain and pleasure are simple biological givens, but this is not so. As an example, I used to teach outdoor education, and sometimes we would do an exercise with kids were we would blindfold them and have them smell various aspects of the world. Often, along the way, we would take them to a "stinky" garbage can. In the blindfolded conditions, the kids did not recoil from the smell the way that most of them would have had they known it was a garbage can. Instead they would explore the smell. We may think that our response to such odors is purely biological, but there is actually a combination of learned and natural response at play. After witnessing this, I played around with this idea and found that I could re-interpret many things that I found mildly painful as simply interesting sensations.
Just how deep people can take this principle is an interesting question. In the various ascetic traditions, there are many examples of people doing things that we would find intensely painful. In some cases this is due to people developing a very high pain tolerance, but in the yogic traditions the explanation is usually given that the yogi has learned to become totally detached from the idea of pain, and so is able to re-interpret what would naturally be thought of as a painful sensation as merely a strong, but neutral sensation.
The upshot of this principle is that we have more control over our world than we normally think. This control can provide us a significant degree of freedom from the negative conditions of life. The Western alliance of science, technology and market economics has fixated on external solutions to problems. It has highlighted the so-called "objective" world and de-valued the subjective. In the process it has ignored the degree to which the world for each person is that person's subjective interpretation of the world. That degree is limited -- there is a range of laws and principles operating beyond subjective interpretations. But the degree that those laws and principles determine the quality of our life is also limited. Too often we think that our quality of life is a state to be achieved by changing our external conditions, and fail to recognize the degree that the quality of our life depends on how we choose to interpret those conditions.
(The above doesn't really says anything different from the old adage: "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.")

Fracture of tooth after trauma is distressing to a person because of the discomfort and pain due to pulpal injury. Crown root fractures of anterior teeth cause concomitant periodontal injury and there will be concern about appearance, and aesthetics. Management of pulpal and periodontal tissue relieves pain and restoration of tooth form regains patients confidence. Restoration of fractured tooth will be accepted readily if it is minimally invasive, less expensive, and aesthetically acceptable. Reattachment is an option for restoration of anterior teeth compared to other artificial replacements because of its appearance as natural. This method is favourable when the fractured fragment is intact and available. Utilization of pulp space for retention of fragment is achieved by the insertion of a dentine bonding post. This case report describes a case of tooth reattachment after trauma in which the pulp space is utilized to bond a fiber-reinforced post for retention after periodontal tissue management.
1. Introduction
Tooth fracture can occur at any age due to trauma. Sports accidents and fights are more common among teenagers and automobile accidents are seen in all age groups. Impact of trauma on tooth varies from mild enamel chipping to complex crown root fractures. Aesthetic and functional implications of tooth fracture depend upon its severity and age of the patient. About 5% of all dental traumas are found to be associated with crown root fractures [1]. Severe pain arising from crown root fractures can be either due to pulpal exposure or due to concomitant periodontal injury or both.
Clinical considerations for the management of crown root fractures include extent and pattern of fracture, restorability of remaining tooth, availability of fractured fragment, and damage to the attachment apparatus [2, 3]. Extension of fracture subgingivally raises concern about biological width violation. Periodontal flap surgery combined with osteoplasty procedures is indicated for deep subgingival fractures to satisfy the requirement of biological width [4].
A conservative method for management of the crown root fracture when the intact fragment is available is the reattachment technique. It is a method which has been tried long before [5]. This method is gaining wide acceptance because of its several advantages over artificial replacements like composite resin or full coverage restorations. It can offer long lasting aesthetics and is reasonably a simple procedure [6, 7].
It is cost effective and can be completed in less chair side time. When endodontic therapy is indicated, the pulp space available after obturation can be used for retention of the fragment by using posts bonded to root canal. This case report describes an interdisciplinary approach to the management of two complicated crown root fractures of maxillary central incisors after an automobile accident.
2. Case Report
A forty-year-old male patient was referred to the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with the complaint of broken front teeth. He had a history of road traffic accident with sustained hand and facial injuries and had fracture of two maxillary central incisors. He went to a nearby hospital immediately because of pain for medical aid and took some medications. He had no relevant medical history and reported to the department next day due to elevation of pain in the area.
Extra oral examination revealed lacerations with swelling of upper lips. Intraorally lacerations were present on buccal mucosa. Gingiva appeared to be erythematous in the upper front region and there was bleeding on probing. Both the upper central incisors were fractured with pulpal exposure. The horizontal fracture line was on the middle of the labial surface extending obliquely to the subgingival area on the palatal side (Figure 1). The incisal fragments were mobile and during talking, pain increased due to mobility. An IOPA radiograph showed the crown of 11 and 21 with fracture line extending subgingivally and the root and periapical area was found to be normal. This was diagnosed as a case of complicated crown root fracture with irreversible pulpitis.
The incisal fragments were removed after local anesthesia as a single piece and kept in normal saline immediately. The various options to restore the teeth were explained to the patient. After listening, the patient expressed the willingness to reattach the broken part. Single visit endodontics was done and root canal was obturated with gutta-percha using AH Plus as the sealer. Gingivectomy was done for 11 and 21 to bring the fracture line supragingival (Figure 2). The patient reported to the clinic after one day for the reattachment procedure. Root canal preparation for the post was done sequentially using the Tenax Fiber Trans drill (Coltene Whaledent). Corresponding fiber reinforced composite post was selected (Tenax Fiber Trans-Coltene Whaledent) to check the fit and occlusal clearance. The occlusal end of the post was shortened with a diamond disc to the desired length. The prepared root canal was conditioned using self-etching non rinse conditioner (ParaBond-Coltene Whaledent). Fixing of the post in the root canal was done using dual cure luting material (ParaCore-Coltene Whaledent). To facilitate polymerization, curing LED light (Woodpecker) was applied through the tip of the post into the root canal for 20 seconds. About 2 mm of the post was visible beyond the incisal margin after fixing (Figure 3).
A small recess was prepared in the pulp chamber of fractured segment of 11 and 21 and was tried against the remaining crown portion with the post for approximation. The opposite surface of the fractured crown was then etched with 37% phosphoric acid and the fragment was luted in the correct position using dual cure resin (ParaCore-Coltene Whaledent) with slight pressure. Excess of the material was removed using a sharp instrument from the edges and was light cured for 20 seconds for faster polymerization. A bevel was prepared on the margins of the approximating surfaces of 11 and 21 on the labial side and the margins were sealed with nanocomposite (Brilliant NG-Coltene Whaledent). Polishing of the surface was done with polishing disks which ensured an aesthetic blending of the margins (Figure 4).
Patient was recalled after six months and one year. On examination, 11 and 21 were found to be asymptomatic with satisfactory aesthetics. Periodontal status was good with 1 mm pocket. Gingival tissues had a normal texture with a normal contouring (Figure 5). Intraoral periapical radiograph showed intact tooth structure with intact lamina dura (Figure 6).
3. Discussion
Fracture of anterior teeth after trauma adversely affects the emotional well-being of a person in addition to the discomfort and pain. Complexity and extension of fracture along with the associated injury to the tooth influence the restorative design. Reattachment of the tooth is an option when the broken fragment is intact and available. It has several advantages over conventional methods of restoration. It retains the translucency of natural tooth and its abrasive resistance is better than composites.
It is less time consuming and is cost effective. Several studies have shown that the impact strength of reattached tooth is not significantly different from that of intact natural tooth [8, 9].
Reattachment procedure is often multidisciplinary dictated by the extension of tooth fracture and injury to the attachment apparatus. This case was a subgingival fracture and gingivectomy was done to bring the fracture line supragingival. Pulp space after root canal treatment was utilized to attach a post for auxiliary retention. Metallic and nonmetallic posts are available with different properties. Fiber posts which have the modulus of elasticity similar to that of root dentin are used here to bond with the root and are preferred to metal posts because of less stress concentration on the root and there is low incidence of root fracture [10]. There is less tooth preparation with a fiber post compared to cast post; thus, the tooth is conserved more. Failures of post and core occur by debonding of the core and due to root fracture [11].
Available clinical evaluation for longevity of reattachment shows medium-term prospects for this technique [12, 13]. A seven-year follow-up of crown reattachment showed mild discoloration of crown without any evidence of fracture [14]. Long-term followup is required to assess the longitivity of reattachment technique. Improvement in adhesive technology may provide a long-lasting bonding of the fragments to improve the prospects of this technique in future.

Original Design by Fiber Star – Samantha Stopple
Copyright March 2006 : You are free to use these designs for your personal use. You may sell items you make with these. You man NOT hire someone to make these to sell. If you do make these please make note that you used my design. When you print off these patterns please include this copyright information.
For all the flowers I suggest the following:
ww yarn of you choice in 2-3 colors
I liked to use a texture yarn to jazz up the flower
F hook
needle to weave in ends
I used the following yarns to make my flowers:
Plymouth Encore
Lion Brand Micro-fiber
Bernat and Mod Dea fancy yarns
Caron Simply Soft
Joining: Where ever it says join you can sl st to join or you can do an invisible join
Finishing off: Weave in ends or colors if you want.
You do need to know how to add new colors.
sc: single crochet
ch: chain stitch
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
The Basic Flower:
You can work the flowers in a single color or change colors at each round.
Round 1:
Ch8 sl st join to make ring; Ch1
15 sc in ring, sl st to join
Round 2 options:
Small flower:
Ch6 skip 2st sc in next st around to make 5 petals (5 – 6ch loops) sl st to join;ch1; [(1sc, 1hdc, 2dc,ch1,2dc, 1hdc, 1sc) in the loop, ch1] around for each petal; join, fasten off
Medium flower:
Ch8 skip 2st sc in next st around to make 5 petals (5 – 8ch loops), sl st to join; ch1; [(2sc, 1hdc, 3dc,ch1, 3dc, 1hdc, 2sc ), ch1]; join
Here's what a medium flower looks like changing colors. I used Caron Simply Soft Orchid for the petals and a Mod Dea fancy purple for the center.
Large flower:
Ch10, skip 2sc, sc in the nxt st around for four petals sl st to join in the beg of the first Ch10; (3sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 1 tr, 2dc, 2hdc, 3sc) join
Round 3:
You can add more color:
Create a two-colored flower by doing an additional row around the petals in a different color:
Here's an idea for the medium flower:
[(3sc, 2dc,3tr(in ch1), 2dc, 3sc) sc around ch1] for each petal, join, fasten off
Here's a flower I made adding an additional row of color:
Using Caron Simply Soft Orchid to make Rounds 1& 2 then I used Mod Dea purple fancy yarn for round 3 to make a two colored flower I added a center effect using Mod Dea again doing option B.
Center effect for the flower:
To create that pollen center effect in the flower, I suggest using a color with some texture to mimic the textured look many flowers have from stamens/pollen or a different color.
A: sc in each sc of the ring
B: sc ch1 around
C: sc ch2 around
Maybe introduce a picot stitch too! Or if you do a larger flower maybe you could repeat the smaller flower instructions from Round 2 around for a three-dimensional affect.

To make your own all-natural window cleaner, combine equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, as recommended by Erin Huffstetler of About.com. Homemade vinegar-based glass cleaner is inexpensive, removes fingerprints and does not leave streaks.
When making your own natural window cleaner, always buy a new bottle instead of reusing one from store-bought glass cleaner, advises Huffstetler. Be sure to label the cleaner and keep it where children and pets cannot reach it. You can use homemade glass cleaner just as you would a conventional glass cleaner from the store. It does not contain any harsh chemicals or emit harmful fumes. It is free from ammonia, which is found in many glass cleaners and is poisonous when inhaled or ingested.
A mixture of high-proof alcohol, white vinegar, liquid soap and water can also be used as a natural window cleaner, according to DIY Natural's Betsy Jabs. The recommended amounts are 1 cup high-proof alcohol, such as Everclear vodka, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap and enough water to make 1/2 gallon of cleaner. The liquid soap is optional, but castile soap should not be used. To use the cleaner, spray it on windows, mirrors or countertops, and then wipe it off with a soft cloth.

Brazil and Barcelona superstar Neymar has admitted he needs to improve on his game so as to reach the heights attained by the duo of Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
The three stars are nominees for the 2015 Balon D'Or Award on Monday evening and Neymar alongside the the duo of Messi and Ronaldo were asked prior to the start of the award ceremony of their feelings about the other 's games and their chances of winning the award.
Neymar reflected humility in his assessment of his chances to win the prestigious award as the best football player in the world.
"'They have made history. Both Cristiano and Leo. I admire him (Lionel Messi) not only on the pitch but for the kind of guy he is. I have fallen in love with him! I wish them every success. They have been nominated for nine years and I hope to be able to follow in their footsteps.'
The captain of the Brazilian national team tactfully refused to comment on whether his game could presently be compared to the former winners with whom the whole world will focus on. Messi is a four-time winner while Ronaldo currently is the proud owner of the prize-that is probably before the end of Monday's award.
"I don't know if I think I am up to their level. These are two idols and if you have idols it's difficult to perceive yourself as an equal or better.
" I want to improve constantly and give my best at every match. That's much more important than trying to be better them," Neymar said.
The award ceremony starts 7pm Nigerian time.

The skylight industry installation guidelines published by AAMA are organized into two major groupings: skylight installations on steep-slope roofs (3:12 pitch or greater, about 15 degrees from horizontal up to 75 degrees or 15 degrees from vertical) and installations on low-slope or flat roofs (less than 3:12 pitch).
Installations on steep roofs with asphalt shingles, wood shake or slate, tile or metal are covered; in the case of low-slope or flat roofs, built-up, modified bitumen and single-ply roofing systems are discussed. In general, skylights are usually installed on steep-slope roofs after the roof is finished. For low-slope or flat roofs, the skylight typically is installed before the roof is finished.
Most installations are deck mount, in which the skylight attaches directly to the roof deck, or curb mount, in which the skylight utilizes a curb consisting of 2- by 4-inch or 2- by 6-inch nominal lumber or prefabricated metal. The curb is anchored to the roof deck or framing into the structural supporting rafters to become a permanent part of the roof structure, raising the skylight above the roof deck surface and reducing its exposure to water and snow accumulation.
Sometimes a separate roof curb is used, providing a means of flashing the roof penetration created by a skylight by integrating it with the roofing system. Roof curbs can also be used to modify the slope of the skylight relative to the roof. Curb installation must be verified as level and square.
Roof curbs can be constructed on the job site or prefabricated—often by the skylight manufacturer as an accessory. Steep-slope roofs generally warrant lower roof curbs. Low-slope and flat roofs sometimes require higher roof curbs as water levels on the roof surface increase.
Some unit skylights will have an integral flashing flange that contains and directs water that runs off the slate shingles/wood shakes. Sealant prevents water from traveling beneath the roofing material and underlayment and the top surface of the flange onto the roof deck. Some designs include a specially configured flange that provides this function and eliminates the requirement for sealants.
The rough opening must first be cut into the roof deck and checked that it is properly sized, level and square.
When a skylight is to be installed in an existing roof and roof trusses or raf- ters need to be cut to accommodate the position and size of the unit, it may be necessary to temporarily support those sections. Additional structural framing must redistribute transmitted loads to adjacent structural members. In some cases, this will require additional members or reinforcement to bolster load-bearing capacity.
The underlayment or felt is cut back around the perimeter of the opening. For deck mounting, replace the underlayment and bring it up to the edge of the rough opening. For curb mounting, bring it to the base of a curb and up the sides of the curb. A cant strip, which is a beveled support, is often used at the intersection of the roof deck with vertical surfaces so that bends in the roofing membrane to form base flashings can be made without breaking the felt. Using separate pieces of underlayment around the skylight saves the hassle of trying to cut full rolls around the skylight and makes for a more watertight installation.
Adhesive-based underlayment can be more effective in many cases, and some skylight manufacturers require this. Wrapping the skylight with an ice and water membrane instead of the standard underlayment is a good idea and may be required in some areas.
Good skylight design follows the principles of good watertight design. Proper installation essentially means doing it right the first time to ensure the integrity of the roof's water-resistive barrier.

MF Global's parent company and finance unit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this morning, four years after the futures brokerage spun off from hedge fund giant the Man Group.
MF Global Holdings and MF Global Finance USA filed in federal Bankruptcy Court in New York. The former listed assets of $41 million and total debt of $39.7 billion, while the latter reported assets of up to $500 million and debt of up to $50 million. Trading in the company's shares has been halted, and its own trading has been suspended by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and several exchanges.
MF Global has reportedly struck a deal to sell its assets to Interactive Brokers Group. Under the plan, negotiated over the weekend by MF Global CEO Jon Corzine and approved by the boards of both MF Global and IBG, IBG would make an initial $1 billion offer for MF Global's holdings in bankruptcy, The Wall Street Journal reports. None of MF Global's regulated entities would file for bankruptcy.
MF Global spun off from Man in 2007. Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs chairman, took the helm early last year, just months after losing his bid for reelection as New Jersey's governor. Corzine sought to transform MF Global from a futures brokerage into a full-service investment bank with a proprietary trading arm. But some of those proprietary trades, those in European sovereign debt championed by Corzine, have brought MF Global low.

Wife accused of hiring hit squad appears in court
Windhoek The woman accused of hiring a hit squad of five men to kill her husband made her first pre-trial appearance in the Windhoek High Court last week on charges of murder, robbery, possession of drugs and defeating or obstructing the course of justice. The woman appeared with the men who are also accused of carrying out the murder. The woman, 33-year-old Annastancia Lubinda, is alleged to have hired David Matali, David Kondjara, Abuid Uazeua, Donald Hindjou and Orivitje artist Dollam Dollam Tjitjahuma to kill her husband Peter Riscoh Muleke. Muleke was 36 at the time of his death. She is charged with murder read with the provisions of the Combating of Domestic Violence Act while her co-accused are charged with murder. They also face a charge of robbery with aggravating circumstances for robbing the deceased of his cellphone and SIM card while hitting him with stones and other unknown objects. The lifeless body of Muleke was found near Penduka at Goreangab Dam on March 30 last year. According to reports, Lubinda hired her co-accused to kill her husband for a fee of N$5 000. Uazeua and Dollam Dollam further face a charge of possession of drugs after the police found 15 grams of dagga in the room they rented in Katutura on April 1 last year. They also face a charge of defeating or obstructing the course of justice for allegedly destroying dagga inside the house after the police came knocking at the door. According to the summary of facts in the indictment, the accused conspired to kill Muleke. The state alleges Lubinda hired her co-accused to kill her husband who was a municipal worker at the time of his demise. Deputy Commissioner Sylvanus Nghishidimbwa was quoted at the time as saying the body of the deceased was found a few metres from his abandoned car at Goreangab Dam. Lubinda and three of her co-accused were arrested the following day and Nghishidimbwa previously said strong evidence existed that Lubinda was involved in the murder. Dollam Dollam and Uazeua were arrested the day after. In a confession made by Lubinda before a magistrate, Lubinda said she was a victim of domestic abuse with regular beatings and a near-fatal stabbing. This caused her to look for a way out, she said in her statement. According to her, Matali was the one that influenced her to have her husband killed and he told her about a person who can supply her with poison, but when this did not materialise he gave her a cell number of people who kill for money. She then contacted the hitmen whose initial price was N$7 000, Lubinda stated, but it was lowered to N$5 000 when she told them she cannot afford the higher price. Kondjara and Hindjou also made statements to a magistrate in which they claim that although they were present at the crime scene, they did not partake in the killing. According to them it was Uazeua and Dollam Dollam who killed the deceased with the help of Matali. According to them Lubinda was present and was telling the men 'to make it quick'. Lubinda said in her statement that she asked her late husband to take her to Goreangab Dam on that fateful day to collect money from someone while knowing full well that the hitmen were waiting for them.

Loved the views loved the location and great staff , good rooms and facilities
No water on arrival or milk . Makes it easier for families if you give a small basic welcome hamper
V. nice place. Good equipment. Close to subway. V. nice staff - customer oriented.
Everything was great!
We LOVED the location of the apartment, right across from Gaudi's La Pedrera - you could see it from the balcony! The building was very nice as well, and the staff so welcoming and friendly. We had our afternoon coffee on the back porch, overlooking a yard with palm trees. We even cooked dinner at the apartment one night, it was absolutely delightful. We would definitely stay there again.
The apartment was amazing! Right in the center of every where we wanted to be. Great size apartment with every amenity, including a fantastic city view!
Great, central location, easy to reach Metro, abundant Taxis on the
street, neighborhood "feel".
Our bedroom window was located on the side of Aribau street (area above
the entrance to our apartments), and was very noisy. We were awaken at
least three times each night from cars passing by and loud people
returning home from clubbing in the area. It seems as if no window is
there at all. It might be valuable for the owner to know so they can
soundproof the window.. This would be the only reason why I would not
recommend this place to friends. Everything else was great!
Easy to book, well organised on arrival, clean nicely appointed apt with tea, coffee, loo rolls, washing up liquid etc - nice touch
Very spacious( important as we live in large airy house)
Much better thana hotel room!
Kettle was slow to boil!!(well I'm English and love my cup of tea first thing!!)
This apartment is located in an upmarket area slightly removed from high traffic tourist area but a close walk. The tree lined street is superb and so is the building. Our apartment was huge with a glass access lift. The apartment was beautifully decorated and comfortable.
Nothing we didn't like. Way beyond expectations and value for money compared to a hotel room.
Beds very comfortable.
Very clean
Decor fabulous
Quality of bathroom superb
Only one small travel kettle for a 4 bedroomed apartment. . (Upto9people).. probably need to invest in a bigger one.
Very well furnished apt with good stylish touch. Location is very good
and central, close to but not on the busy noisy Ramblas. Kitchen is
perfect, and has everything you need to cook + tea and coffee !
- Make sure you read about the late arrival fee, the cleaning fees when
you're comparing to other hotels or apt.
- a safe by definition is a safe, not every client who came to the apt should have the same code.
the area , the confort of the apartment
No TV , the sattelite wasn't operational .
Location + safe
Room small
Fantastic location
Excellent Décor
No Parking
Excellent location and spacious rooms.
There was bed smell from the aircon in the apartment.
The location, the quality of the apartment
Our flight was late and there was no place to leave our luggage after checking out
We stayed in this 3 bedroom apartment, bcn Rambla Cataluña Campiña, for
three nights on from 5 to 8 July 2013, with two of our adult children
and one partner. The apartment was well appointed and air conditioned.
The photos accurately portrayed the apartment which had good WiFi and
tv. The two bathrooms were very welcome. The apartment was very clean
and well equipped and we loved relaxing in the apartment after active
days and nights exploring Barcelona. The apartment was located on Rambla
Catalunya which was surrounded by more upmarket shops and restaurants
than those found in Las Ramblas. Bluntly speaking, the surrounding area
felt very safe and did not have the riff-raff that frequents Las
Ramblas. Security at the apartment was also good. The streets were alive
with people at night with many restaurants outside and what little noise
we did hear is what you would expect from a busy active street. The
location was fantastic for exploring Barcelona, near a good metro
station Diagonal, and with an easy 20 minute walk to La Sagrada Familia.
We found many good shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. Our favourite
for breakfast was Hansel where we had a great coffee, fresh juice and
croissant for about 4 Euros. Other surrounding bakeries had very good
cakes. This apartment was great and exactly what we expected. From the
introductory greeting with Berta and our late check in, to the fact that
on the last day they stored our bagged securely for us, meet us at the
apartment and arranged for a taxi van to take us to the airport, I think
the service level was exemplary. We would highly recommend this luxury
apartment and thank Berta for her good service. Mike Curtis
Las Ramblas a good area for street entertainment but the reputation of
pickpockets is probably deserved. Be vigilant!
الفندق مريح وفي مكان هادئ
عدم توفر نشافة ملابس
Modern and spacious apartment in central locations. Great restaurants within walking distance and not far from LA Rumbas.
Everything was good.
Excellent Position,centrally located to everything with resturants,
bars, transport line, high end shops within 2 minutes walk.
Noise!!! We stayed 1 month and did not get 1 night of decent sleep, the
street noise is so loud, with people talking and laughing until the
early hours of the morning, when the street noise took over.If that was
not enough, the apartment above ours was being renowated, so at 6.30
every morning the jack-hammering started!!! I would have expected a
courtesy letter from the rental company prior to our arrival, to notify
us of the work that was being carried out..But not a word.
The staff was very friendly and tried to fix the two issues we had
The washing machine did not work for our stay. The showers didn't
drain well. The water backed up when showering. They did try to fix the
drainage problem but it didn't help.
Apartment is spacious and neat, suitable for family to stay. Good
location, many places of interests within walking distance, and is in
the midst of the shopping belt with plenty of touristic restaurants and
bars. For transport, the metro and taxi 'stand' takes a minute
or two to reach. Ms Berta, the lady who attended to us was certainly
very helpful and professional.
Although, stated in the contract as mandatory, we are still unabe to
determine what this cleaning charge of Eur 70 is all about. Certainly
less confusion if the charge is built into the rental directly instead
of costing it separately. Peter h t Tan / Singapore
We were met by Berta who reacted very quickly to our phone call to let
us in to our penthouse apartment serviced by a lift. The apartment was
magnificent with a balcony running its whole length where we would have
our meals. The kitchen was extremely well equipped lacking for nothing.
There was also a washing machine. The bedroom was quite large and the
bed extremely comfortable. The apartments are well positioned not far
from Segrada Familia and Gaudi Mila. I would certainly recommend thse
apartments , they are brilliant.
A word of advise when travelling around Barcelona in a hire car DO NOT take any notice of a motorcyclist tapping on your window pointing to your tyre. The chances are that he has just pieced it with a knife. Change the tyre where you are, do not drive off onto a feeder road as we did. The car was ransacked while we changed the tyre and lost our passports, money and travel documents. We spent five hours being interviewed by the police. They are a professional gag working the French and Mediteranean coasts.
We were not able to call ahead to notify BCN Rambla of our arrival before the ship docked and went directly to the apartment by taxi. When we arrived, there were some men doing repair work on the building next door. One of them contacted BCN and let me talk to a representative. We were told that to keep us from waiting outside, someone would be over right away to let us inside the apartment and someone would be over to check us in later. Emilio meet us with keys and let us into the apartment within 10 minutes of our arrival. Within a few more minutes, Berta arrived and checked us in. She was very helpful and accommodating in explaining things and getting us set up. On the day of checkout, Angel arrived on time and helped us get our luggage downstairs and called a taxi for us.
I would liked to have seen what the other apartments looked like. I would consider staying at BCN Ramblas again, but I don't think I would be willing to pay the same price.
The floors were cold and needed small rugs next to the beds.
Towels were great but there were no small face washcloths.
The photos online are done in a way that makes the apartment look better than in person.
The apartment was beautifully decorated. It was well equipped. Great location.
Chic apartment in a fantastic area - not far from Plaza Catalunya and La Ramblas. Myself, my wife and our two year old son stayed here for 4 nights - well equipped and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
Location near Rambla,spacious 4 , bedroom apartment,staff contacted us
befor arrival..
Refund policy for apartment is inflexible,no matches or lighter in
kitchen,living room have stinky smell
Spacious, tastefully furnished, staff were responsive and very friendly
The smell we had to deal with for a few days but the staff were great when dealing with this issue
I liked the friendly host, the perfect location, the nice decoration of the apartment
The poor windows/frame isolation. The garbage trucks woke us up in the middle of the night.
The appartment's location is excellent in every regard. Two/three metro stops take you to all the main attractions that Barcelona has to offer. The appartment was clean and very comfortable. It was good to come home at the end of a day and know there was a very comfortable bed waiting for you. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The main entrance of the appartment is 103 La Rambla Catalunya, next to the chocolatier. Don't go to 101, as the poor person there is tired of tourists ringing on his door bell.
We had 2 apartments. The Penthouse and the 4 Bedroom. The kitchen in the Penthouse was excellent. The kitchen layout in the 4 Bedroom was poorly designed but usable. Bedrooms were comfortable as was living rooms. The apartment location was excellent. Couldn't have chosen a more central location for traveling throughout the city.
The amenities could use some upgrading such as a higher grade of utensils and some sharp knives and a better quality bottle opener. Clothing washer instructions in English would have been very useful. A lounge chair in the penthouse would have been helpful.Simple bathing soaps and bathroom amenities would be a plus.
Very clean, great location, nice design, supportive staff
It was in the center and transport and shops was very easy. The apt was well equipped
The room was dark and the air conditioner was in the sitting room and did not cool the bed room. Also the tv was just ok and the Internet connection did not function well. I was hardly in the apt so it was not a problem
Its closed to the city center
that they put me pay extra 60 euros for the cleaning of the flat for 4 days...this was not in the deel with letsbookhotel.com in the end after long flight when you enter there the only think you want to avoid its a fight for an extra 60euros that its not fair to do this...
confortable for shopping
bed linnen and pillows very dirty

According to the World Health Organization:
Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980.
65% of the world's population lives in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
While these statistics hit hard, another WHO key fact includes "obesity is preventable." So too is the case with children's obesity, subject of Bastyr University's Active Pediatric and Parental Lifestyle Education (APPLE) Core's prevention program.
APPLE Core's approach includes tackling the growing epidemic from multiple angles and educating not only children themselves, but their parents, too. Participation in the first-of-its-kind free workshop includes:
- Gourmet Whole Food Lunch
- QFC gift certificate
- Free Apple Core T-shirt
For a day (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 10 at 14500 Juanita Drive NE, Kenmore) of:
- Whole-food nutrition education
- Integrative physical activity
- Behavioral therapy
- Health education to promote healthy lifestyle choices
- Family culinary training to prepare healthy, balanced meals
"Our hope is that the lessons learned from this one day will be remembered every day, and that family members support each other in making healthier lifestyle choices," Tiffany Reiss, PhD, APPLE Core director and director of the Exercise Science and Wellness program at Bastyr University said.
To be eligible, children should be between the ages of 8 and 12, have a Body Mass Index-for-age (BMI) above the 85th percentile and parents must complete a registration and health questionnaire form.
If interested in participating, email Jeanne Garthwaite at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject title "APPLE Core." Include your names, address, telephone number, email address and total number of family members who wish to attend. Or call (425) 602-3260 for more information.

I was looking for a simple, cheap, and cute thank you for the girls at work who were throwing me a baby shower. I wanted something useful/yummy that they could take home with them. I usually bake cookies, but lately I've been really short on time, and who doesn't like chocolate?! I saw this idea over at The New Domestic. Their version is kinda fancier, but I like my simple version using things I had on hand. I used things I already had on hand and only had to buy the chocolate bars. Look through your supplies and be creative!
- scrapbook paper (fabric would be cute too)
- clear tape (you could try glue, but I didn't want to wait for it to dry)
- marker (stickers would be cute)
- paper doilies (you could also use ribbon, yarn, washi tape, stickers...)
- something to cut with
- chocolate bars wrapped in foil and removable label (these were actually very hard to find. but most specialty chocolates are still wrapped in foil)
Step 1: Get your chocolate naked!
Be very careful removing the label, mine was glued to the foil a bit.
Flip your scrapbook paper over so you don't mark on the pretty side. Use one of the chocolate labels and just trace around or make marks for cutting.
I have this nifty little paper cutter from when I made our wedding invites, but a ruler and scissors works (or just trace and cut free hand on the line).
Lay your chocolate face down on your scrapbook paper, fold an edge over and tape somewhere near the center on the back. Pull the paper tight to get a crisp edge and tape the other side down.
To get a crisp edge, run your fingers down the sides and crease the paper with the edge of the chocolate (just like wrapping a present).
Using these little paper doilies, I measure where the best spot would be to write.
I just used my sharpie and wrote a quick thanks in the center.
Next, I just taped the edges on the back.

House Tour: Heather's Hip Hideaway (Guest Post)
(Out in the Bay Area, where it's real sunny right now, Leslie takes us on a house tour. Comment away.)
Heather had specific things that she was looking for in a home: Two bedrooms, natural light, a cross-breeze, a window in the bathroom, a gas range, washer/dryer, parking. She didn't prioritize; all of these things were non-negotiable.
What she found was an 850-square foot, two-story condo built in the 1980s. She looked beyond the pastel paint colors, gray ceilings, "slippery" gray polyester carpeting, fussy blinds, and artificial plants, and saw the place where she wanted to live. Heather's new neighbors were surprised that she renovated right after the seller had done his own renovations. Her friends were not.
A year and a half later, Heather's condo is a sunny, quiet oasis in the middle of busy Mission Dolores. There are warm hardwood floors. The ceilings are creamy white. Dated, rounded skylights have been replaced with contemporary ones, and light streams through them and the sliding glass doors that look out onto a garden space and deck, and beyond, a grassy common area for all 10 units.
Heather moved to what she describes as an edgy, culturally mixed neighborhood because she liked its location and its ambience. Her neighbors are stay-at-home writers and artists. It's a short walk to BART or Muni, or to trendy Hayes Valley, the hip Mission, the Castro, or downtown Market Street. She also likes that her house is located in what many consider the gourmet center of San Francisco. Oh, and of course, she is in the Sunbelt. Other residents of the City covet her lack of fog.
One thing the previous owner did do right was replace the existing kitchen with Ikea cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. He also removed the ladder leading up to a loft space, currently used for storage, and installed a stairway. While her neighbors use their lofts as offices, Heather turned one of the bedrooms into an office so she can look outside while she works. Future projects include making the loft into a guest room.
Heather lives somewhat minimally, yet comfortably. She says that she doesn't have a lot of stuff because she has moved so many times. There is original art hanging on the walls, a few plants, some books, but the lack of clutter is refreshing. The living room, with its neutral walls, bamboo blinds, and funky fireplace, is a comfortable place to relax.
Downstairs, the bedroom and office are clutter-free. The walls are painted a calm sage, the drapes made from fabric found at the Design Center. Coir carpeting, surprisingly soft, covers the floors. Closets were built out in both rooms, Elfa shelving was installed, and a stacked washer/dryer is hidden behind the white doors.
Guests who visit Heather remark on the comfortable, soothing feel of her home. They frequently tell her they want to move in and stay a while. She knows how lucky she is to have found the perfect place to retreat at the end of the day. – Leslie


text: So I have a birdsnest and a fire digitata which both seem to be healthy, Im wondering about adding another birdsnest and putting it next to the current one and watching them intertwine so different colors. Good or bad idea? The other question I have is what would be another good beginner SPS coral that I can add to tank and not worry about putting it next to others. Running out of room with my recent anemone split(probably need to get rid of one of them)

Who's That Pokémon
Today marks the one-hundred & eighteenth entry into the Generation VI competitive field with a Johto Pokémon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, Ragnarok, Psynergy, KillerDraco & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the second generation. The light of the moon changed Eevee's genetic structure. It lurks in darkness for prey. When exposed to the moon's aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it's filled with a mysterious power. Umbreon evolved as a result of exposure to the moon's waves. It hides silently in darkness and waits for its foes to make a move. The rings on its body glow when it leaps to attack. So, here it is, the one-hundred & eighteenth entry, Umbreon.

Benefits Continuation (COBRA)
Last Updated 04/03
Applies to Administrators, Faculty, and Staff
Related Policies:
The Federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives employees and their qualified beneficiaries the opportunity to continue benefit coverage under the employer's medical plans, dental plans, vision plan, and flexible spending accounts when a "qualifying event" would normally result in the loss of eligibility.
Qualifying Events
Following are common examples of qualifying events:
- Termination of employment
- Death of the employee
- Reduction in work hours
- Divorce
- Retirement (if not eligible for retiree medical insurance)
- Loss of eligibility by a dependent child
Length of Coverage
Coverage may continue for differing lengths of time depending upon the reason for eligibility. The time limitations are:
- Up to 18 months if loss of coverage is due to termination of employment or reduction in work hours
- Up to 36 months for dependents if loss of coverage is due to death, divorce, or a dependent child's loss of eligibility
- Up to 29 months if the individual is disabled at the time of eligibility for continued coverage or is disabled within 60 days of eligibility for continued coverage
Cost of Coverage
Under extended coverage, the eligible individual pays full cost of coverage at the employer's group rate plus an administrative fee.
Termination of Continued Coverage
Continued coverage may terminate if:
- The individual becomes covered by another group plan (including Medicare),
- The individual fails to pay the required premium within the established grace period, or
- The employer no longer offers the plan(s) to its active employees.
Employee Responsibility
The University makes every effort to comply with the guidelines regarding an employee's and qualified dependent's rights under COBRA. Under certain circumstances such as divorce and dependent eligibility, it is the employee's responsibility to advise the Office of Human Resources so the extended coverage may be offered to the employee's dependents.
Notification of Employee COBRA Rights
Upon initial enrollment in the plan, the employee receives the "Initial Notification of COBRA Rights" so that they and their dependent(s) are aware of their continuation rights.
Notifying Human Resources of a Qualifying Event
When an employee experiences a qualifying event as described above in this policy, notification must be provided as soon as possible to the Office of Human Resources as follows:
Notify the Office of Human Resources immediately when:
- a divorce is final
- a dependent child no longer meets age and/or dependency eligibility requirements as outlined in each specific plan
Notify the Office of Human Resources of the following events within the timeframe noted:
|Necessary Document
|Termination, death, retirement
|Termination Form
|Reduction of hours
|Employee Status Form
Upon notification of the qualifying event, Meritain Health will initiate the appropriate correspondence within 14 days to the employee and/or the qualified dependent providing pertinent information on application procedures and time limitations for continuation of coverage.

This big old cookbook has been part of the fixtures and fittings of our kitchen for as long as I can remember, indeed the front cover is inscribed with my grandmother's name: M. Robey (which is rather conveniently also my mother's as well as my name!). It's a vast book full of a huge array of classic British, kitsch cuisine, including Bramble Jelly, Jam Roly-Poly, Coddled Eggs, Haggis, Steamed Fish Mould, Seafood Cocktail and, my mother's personal favourite, Gooseberry Fool.
I knew all of these basics already and so I didn't keep going back to these sections to learn. I'm not entirely sure why I enjoyed reading these pages so much, all I know is that I was drawn back to them again and again. Perhaps I was drawn to the nostalgia of an era where 'Mother' was always in the kitchen and young girls were taught how to be the good housewives of the future. A time of gender inequality where women were expected to have dinner on the table ready for their husbands to return from work, and yet a time that has, despite this, always appealed to me in some way. For those children who wanted "to give Mother a hand in the kitchen" (350) and who were coming to cooking as a complete first timer, the book lays out exactly what you should do in precise detail, leaving virtually no room for error: "The simplest method of collecting the ingredients is to weigh out the required amount on to pieces of greaseproof paper; having finished with an ingredient, put the packet or jar away - this will keep your table tidy, and at the same time save a lot of clearing up at the end." (367).
My favourites to read were always the most basic of recipes such toast, which is somehow dragged out through four stages, and a tea tray, which tells you to cut slices of various things you have learnt to make in other recipes and to place them neatly on a tray before using "both your hands to carry the tray, and make sure there is somewhere by Mother's bed to put it down" (463).
As I mentioned earlier, this was always the book that we would use to remind ourselves of the quantities for basic recipes like Victoria Sponge cake and Yorkshire Puddings.
it's like looking back through history at all the treats have been made and enjoyed over the years. And I still do use those recipes even today. Those things that I used to make with my mother when I was a child just wouldn't be the same if I used a different recipe.

Just so I myself don't forget, I'm working (not very fast) on 1. two more posts about edges and edge-detection, one of which is basically just a long reply to Chris's comment on the last post and 2. two more posts about the depiction of eyes. One requires some art-historical research, and the other requires finding a bunch of images that are tough to find.
Down to business. Consider this: we can't help agonizing about whether we are doing something "new" in art. Well, mostly, we're not. Imagine being the first guy to contrast blue and orange in a picture! Wow - that must have been one hell of a thing, and that guy was probably very pleased with his genius, and his friends probably bought him dinner until he got to be all insufferable about his own awesomeness. Then he had to top himself. So what does he do? Violet and yellow!
...and then he lives happily ever after, because who could hate Christmas?
But now all the juxtapositions of complementary colors have been discovered. Nobody will ever again be the first person to juxtapose the big six complementary colors. So art moves on. Some other new thing is required, if new things are what we seek.
In the history of art so far, there is a finite list of discoveries of absolutely fundamental new things. Complementary color. Value. Line. Shape. The figure. The still life. The landscape. Narrative scene-making. Perspective. Anatomy. Psychology.
Notice that these discoveries gradually become more complex. The simple ones come first, the tricky ones emerge once the simple ones are available and mastered.
Now let's look at prime numbers. For those of you who have forgotten, those are the integers evenly divisible only by 1 and themselves. Of the first 100 integers, 25 are prime numbers:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
By gentleman's agreement, 1 is excluded from this list.
1. Primes are infinite in number.
2. Primes continue to get scarcer.
How to predict the locations of large primes in the vast universe of integers has occupied the brains of some unusually clever mathematicians, leading to formulations like this:
It is the second largest known Sophie Germain prime, discovered in 2009. All ye need to know, and this you figured out for yourself, is that it lacks the grace and intuitive clarity of your 3, your 5, or your 7.
You can see where I'm going with this. I'm proposing that new, genuinely new, things in art are like the primes. There were a lot of them at the beginning. But they get rarer over time; rarer, and less intuitively beautiful. We will never run out of them, but increasingly, it will take centuries, and then millenia, to discover them. After all, we cannot assign a computer to the problem of innovation in art, because art is an artifact of the interaction of the soul and the universe. Every new discovery will demand a larger number of artists broken on the wheel of fruitless effort. Not just lousy artists either; geniuses, who had they been lucky enough to be born earlier, would have discovered the juxtaposition of complementary colors.
This presents a quandary to the artist. What should he attempt to accomplish? We have discovered so many fundamental things about art, art-primes if you like, that each art-prime is like a village, or a city. Each has a community of artists devoted to it, who live in the comfort of its fire, which is not a new fire, but has neither ceased to shed heat and light. Moreover, there are roads between these art-prime cities, well-traveled roads of familiar composites. Just as 10 is the composite product of two primes, 2 and 5, so your average Matisse or Picasso is a composite of two art-primes, line and color.
It is enough to live on these cities and to travel these roads. Our current art culture places a very high value on discovery of new art-primes, but they are rarely to be had, and many loudly-hailed discoveries turn out to be composites, or nullities. Many artists set out on the path of discovery, but few are rewarded.
My belief, in fact, is that the next art-prime will be discovered by someone who isn't looking for it. That's how it goes in human affairs. Do you think Proust sat down and said, "I'm going to invent Proust On Time?" I don't think so. I think he had a good idea, maybe he thought it was even a new idea, but I don't think he thought it was a New Idea. So he started writing, and when he got done, he said, "Well, that's a hell of a thing." And then he died.
So it will go in the visual arts. Some hard-working resident of a city of the known will strike out in a slightly new direction; he will not conceive it as a totally new direction, just something a little different to try, to set himself apart from the crowd, or to respond to that inner drive which is how most people think of art. And when he gets done, he will have changed the world, and made it larger and more glorious. But his innovation will not be so clear and beautiful as the complementary colors. It will not have the intuitive unity of a 2; it will be the artistic equivalent of a large and incomprehensible Sophie Germain prime. It will take many years for other artists to understand what this one accidental innovator has accomplished.
Now that I've written it out, I suppose this is a very dark view of innovation in the visual arts. But we are not young, as artists, any longer. If we continue to pursue the visual arts, we will either grow more mature and more comprehensive, or we will find some unanticipated way to reset the clock and become like children again.
For my part, I have painted this, and it is getting a little bit of attention as part of an art fair I am participating in this week:
A note on methodology: one of the things I like most about science and math is that it provides just wonderful similes for things in the humanities. In this respect, science and math are like the Bible. What could more perfectly capture how it is tough to enter, and tough to leave, a close relationship, than the concept of the Coulomb barrier? At the same time, while such similes are marvelous, they should not be mistaken for metaphors or identities. One thing is not the other thing. I cannot abide people who think that quantum mechanics "proves" Zen buddhism. Some things are structurally similar to other things, so that if you understand the structure of one, you can understand what is meant by comparing it with the other. This is the full extent of what I mean when I say that progress in the visual arts is like the series of prime numbers.

A consortium of companies spanning healthcare, recycling, and waste management have banded together to address plastics recycling in the healthcare market, considering the issue from product design and manufacturing through product use, disposal, and reclaim. The Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC), which draws members from medical and waste luminaries such as Becton Dickinson and Co. Cardinal Health, Engineered Plastics, DuPont, Hospira, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark, and Waste Management, describes itself as "a technical coalition seeking to inspire and enable sustainable, cost-effective recycling solutions for plastic products and materials used in the delivery of healthcare."
At this time, the coalition is tackling three primary initiatives. The first initiative, healthcare plastics value-chain mapping, will define the healthcare value chain and identify issues and barriers along the value chain that disable plastics recycling. The second initiative, design for recycling guidelines, focuses on developing a document that articulates product and packaging design considerations that could enhance recycling potential and value. The third initiative, pilot study programs within healthcare facilities, will build a data model to facilitate economic analysis of plastics recycling....

I get asked a lot of questions about how to do things around the shop. My experience is candles and scented products. But I have come across others that do a wonderful job of other types of crafts and I also like to cruise the net looking for info to see how others go about doing things. So, although I have not tried these procedures for myself, I have heard and seen the results of others doing them.
Primitive decor has a palate of darker colors.. the colors you get over time. Blues and reds become muted, black gets more charcoal and anything white developes an darker antique patina. So, to get that age-old look instantly on fabric, you can tea or coffee stain.
Tea staining is the less extreme of the two methods. It will give you lightly stained, yellowish-brown areas on your fabric. Different teas will result in different tints and tones in the final product. Standard black teas will give a soft brown or cream color to your fabric, while some of the herbal teas leave more of a red tone.
To create tea dye you will need to bring to boil enough water to soak your fabric in. Then add 1 tea bag to every half a cup of hot water and let it brew for about 10 minutes. Soak the fabric you wish to age in the bucket of tea. Swish it around every so often if you want a smooth textured finish. Leave it without moving it much for a mottled finish.
When the fabric has soaked "enough" pull it out and rinse it under cool water. You will loose a lot of the color doing this, so if it isn't dark enough to suit you, soak it some more. Be aware that when the fabric dries it will be slightly lighter as well. It's been found a medium light tan color can be achieved after about an hour. A richer tan can be achieved with an overnight soaking.
Another method of staining fabrics is to sponge them. Make up the stain as before, then using an old sponge, soak up some of the tea dye and blot it onto the fabric. This gives a distinctive mottled look to your fabric. You could build up layers using different strengths of tea. The more tea dye you use, the darker the stain will be. This process gets the fabric pretty wet. You can lay the fabric out to dry, run a fan over it or bake it in the oven at about 200 degrees for a few minutes to dry it. Reapply additional coats of tea dye as necessary to get the desired color.
Tea dye is only for natural fabrics like cotton and linen. Tea dye is also semi-permanent. What this means is that while it will not wash out easily, you can usually remove it with bleach. It may also fade in sunlight. It is not suggested for use on items (such as clothing) that will be washed regularly as modern detergents are designed to remove the tea stain.
For a richer and darker color, try coffee dye. A recipe I found was mixing 5 tablespoons of instant coffee crystals in half a cup of hot water. They also added a few drops of vanilla extract to add a bit of scent to the mix. Other recipes throw in a tablespoon of cinnamon for the aroma as well as the texture it gives. To stain with the coffee dye, use the same sponge-blotting method described above for the tea dye. When the piece has the desired color it can then be baked in the oven. You can also spray tea or coffee dye on with a spray bottle, or dry your fabric outside in the sun on a warm day.
Since I had to get this information from other sources, here are the web sites I found the most information on and they are worth a look for other things as well:

Went to Historic St. Charles, MO today with my mom for their annual Christmas festivities! It's such a beautiful area, right along the river, with old buildings along the main strip filled with shops and galleries!
When we first arrived there was a parade going on with all of the carolers and other characters walking up the main strip (they have people dressed in old-English outfits all evening). After that, we went into two art galleries and a few shops. One shop had dozens of balsamic vinegars and olive oils to taste, of which we ended up buying my favorite: bourbon maple. I also bought a beautiful scarf in another shop, and Berry's Irish black tea in the English/Irish shop! I also wanted to buy my favorite piece of art (picture attached) of a handmade Christmas ornament, hollow with a 3-D circus inside. That was one of the best things I've ever seen! ….. but out of my price range. At least I got a picture!
After a few hours we were hungry, so we stopped in a bar where we sat in the window seat, separate from the rest of the bar. The windows were the size of the entire wall, and even had cute white paint trimming to look like a cool winter night.We people watched from inside and ate some burgers! (Side note — I later ate my leftover burger with the balsamic vinegar I bought and it was heavenly.)
To finish off the evening, we walked between to two rows of Christmas lit trees along the river. It was a beautiful chilly (but not too chilly) winter evening, and to believe that no one else was over there! From there, we saw more lights at the main strip, so we went over to find cute statues and decorations set up for the holidays! (Picture of me with my favorite of those decorations attached)

เอามาจาก http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
Print to PDF using cups-pdf March 23, 2006Posted by Carthik in ubuntu.
I have been looking for a solution to print any file to pdf using a pdf printer driver.
cups-pdf is the package I was looking for apparently. But unfortunately, this takes just a little setting up.
Install cups-pdf by using:
$sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the line that says:
RunAsUser Yes
RunAsUser No
Restart cupsys:
$sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Add a new printer (System->Administration->Printing) selecting the "Local Printer" "PDF Printer" option. In the next step choose "Generic Printer" and then used the "Postscript Color Printer (Ver 3)" driver.
Now you should be able to print to pdf by selecting the newly setup printer.
1) The output .pdf files are stored in your "Home" directory. I can't find a way to change this output directory to something of my liking
2) The output files are named with pre-defined names (job_8-untitled_document.pdf is an example). It would have been nice to select a name while printing.
3) One shouldn't have to edit the cupsd.conf file to enable printing! (I found that I might have to edit the configuration file by visiting the homepage of the package, and trying out what I did). At the very least, the README.Debian file for the package should have informed me of the need to edit the configuration file.

I use a somewhat different approach. When printing I substitute kprinter for lpr. This pops up the KDE print dialog, which includes an option to produce PDF. It doesn't matter that I use GNOME instead of KDE, it still works fine. You need to install the kdeprint package to do this.
15. Brian - June 12, 2006
For those who like everything in once place, following method worked great for me on Dapper - Thanks for the tips!
In a terminal:
sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
(You can use synaptic to install cups-pdf too if you like)
sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
In Gnome:
System > Administration > Printing
New Printer
Local Printer & Use A Detected Printer click on PDF Printer
Choose "Generic" as the manufacturer
Choose "postscript color printer rev3b"
Leave the driver set to "Standard (suggested)"
Too bad you can't choose a name & location for it to save too, but at least it's in a sensible location (~/PDF)
Too bad this isn't enables by default, I love KDE's built-in PDF printer.
