An illustrated guide to help choose the best indoor plants for your home. Includes plant illustrations and detailed indoor plant charts with plant information.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS 1. Arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum): The leaves of this decorative aroid (sometimes called Nephthytis ) are frequently tinged with contrasting shades of cream or ash green, and they rise on long, thin stalks that are easily trained to climb bark or wooden slabs.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS2. Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema modestum or commutatum): Durable if slow-growing aroids, the Chinese evergreens make excellent low-spreading table or floor plants that seldom reach over three or four feet tall. Their crisp, green, leathery leaves frequently sport elegant white or silver marbling.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS 3. Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata): The stiff, leathery, sword shaped leaves of this succulent, slow growing lily are blackish green with light green "snakeskin" crossbands. This must be the easiest plant ever grown. It can endure neglect.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS7. Cast-iron plant (Aspidistra elatior): True to its name, this Chinese lily tolerates all kinds of abuse, even night temperatures as chilly as 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Its oblong, blackish green, cornlike leaves slowly grow to 30 inches long.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS4. Bird's-nest fern (Asplenium nidus): This is the best fern for indoor culture because it requires less humidity than many of its relatives?although it does appreciate steady warmth and frequent watering. The stiffly spreading, shiny green fronds surround its nest like crown.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS5. Cornstalk plant (Dracaena fragrans Massangeana): This tall growing floor lily sports rich green, arching leaves, banded with light green and yellow. Chills give the cornstalk brown blotches, but it proves quite durable when provided with warm temperatures and adequate moisture
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS6. Parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans): This durable feather palm and the related, slower growing "Neanthe bella" bear clustering frond, and can range in height from one to 10 feet. An indoor gardening , classic, it seldom needs repotting and takes well to low-moisture environments.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS8. Heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron scandens): A fast grower, the heartleaf philodendron has deer green, heartshaped' leaves that will climb a support or cascade from hanging baskets.
SHADY-LIGHT COMPANIONS9. Peace lily (Spathiphyllum): The classically elegant peace lily bears glossy, softly plaited leaves. Its white, spathelike flowers (frequently appearing in winter) rise on slender stems and provide a striking contrast to the dark foliage.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 1. Madagascar dragon tree (Dracaena marginata): A popular lily, this hardy, bushlike ornamental can slowly grow to 16 feet high. Its slender, cane like stems are topped with shiny, red-margined leaves. For best results, keep it in a small container.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 2. Dumb cane (Dieffenbachia picta): This tropical American native is prized for its ornamental variegated leaves on tall growing, thick green canes. Dumb cane earned its name because the noxious sap in its stem causes pain and swelling when swallowed.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 4. Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus or plumosus): This lacy, fernlike lily family member bears wiry stems with flattened fronds carrying fine, hairlike greenery. It makes a long lasting, luxurious basket plant. The related Sprengeri fern (A. densiflorus`Sprengeri') has a fluffier appearance.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 5. Striped dracaena (Dracaena deremensis warneekeii'): Long, sword -shaped, leathery leaves with white center stripes grow from a thick, tall-growing cane. This durable dracaena does well in dry environments.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 3. Lady palm (Rhapis excelsa): This reliable fan palm carries bamboolike canes and glossy, dark green, leathery leaves. The versatile lady adapts to warm and cool temperatures alike.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 7. Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum): Long, wiry, flowering stalks cascade spiderlike from the pot, forming little airborne plantlets that give the spider its alternative name: the airplane plant. The ivory-banded basket plant adapts well to cool temperatures.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 6. Grape ivy (Cissusrhombifolia): The long, bending branches of this vine sport deep green, wavy-toothed leaflets. The cascading rambler forms a lush, decorative plant for baskets or trellised pots. Pinch it back occasionally to promote denser growth.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 9. Devil's ivy (Scindapsus aureus): A popular philodendron cousin (also known as pothos or hunter's-robe), devil's ivy is a green, fleshy viner suitable for basket or trellis culture. (The popular cultivar `Marble Queen' has regal white variegation.) It relishes warmth and likes to go dry between waterings.
RADIANCE RELISHES 2. Medicine plant (Aloe vera): This slow growing lily relative excellent for a sunny table or windowsill. Its gray-green, dagger shaped leaves marked by soft spines along to edges?contain the skin-healing inner pulp that 'explains its "first-aid" nickname.
MEDIUM-LIGHT COMRADES 8. Umbrella tree (Brassaia actinophylla): The familiar umbrella, or schefflera, is admired for the grand rosette produced by its compound leaves. The fast growing aralia makes an excellent tall-growing tub plant. But it dislikes drafts and is very sensitive to overwatering, so keep it warm and let it dry well between waterings.
RADIANCE RELISHES 1.Yucca tree (Yucca gloriosa): Also called the palm lily, the yucca has a woody trunk topped with a rosette of stiff, leathery, sword-shaped leaves. The sturdy plant tolerates many adversities and likes to go dry between waterings.
RADIANCE RELISHES 3. Pencil cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli): This bizarre succulent shrub has pencil-thick, glossy green cylindrical branches that contain a milky white sap. Also called the milkbush, it is a durable, but slow, grower.
RADIANCE RELISHES 4. Golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii): The barrel carries sharp, golden spines on a globular, light green, ribbed base. Like other cacti and succulents, it enjoys a porous, gritty soil (two parts loam to one part sand) and should be allowed to dry between waterings.
RADIANCE RELISHES 5. Jade plant (Crassula argentea): The stout trunk of the jade (also called the monkey tree or Chinese rubber plant) has thick, bending branches which bear fleshy, succulent leaves. A durable species, it adapts well to drafts and dry locations.
RADIANCE RELISHES 6. Weeping fig tree (Ficusbenjamina): This graceful mulberry carries small, shiny, deep green leaves that are pointed at the tips. In warmth and good light, it becomes densely Foliated, but under adversity it sheds readily. Keep it in a small container.
RADIANCE RELISHES 7. Craton (Codiaeum variegatum pictum): This showy tropical tub plant sports magnificent multicolored leaves in many shapes and patterns. Strong sunlight helps young! yellow-flecked foliage turn orange and red. For best results, keep a pebble-filled tray beneath a croton pot to increase humidity.
RADIANCE RELISHES 8. Wax plant (Hoya carnosa): A wining milkweed, the hoya bears thick, leathery leaves and long, persistent spursthatproduce fragrant, pinkish white flowers. An ideal hanging basket plant for sunny windows, it appreciates good drainage along with liberal summertime watering.
RADIANCE RELISHES 9. Norfolk bland pine (Araucarta heterophylla): The long, wide-spreading branches of the Norfolk (also called star-pine or Christmas tree plant) extend parallel to the ground and are set with soft-pointed needles. It tolerates heat, chills, and some drying out.

Scientific research on a topic we here at LGM know a whole lot about.
Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed
I'd be interested to see a rundown of which particular topics attract the most trolls here at LGM. Is there any data? Perhaps topics that have generated the most commenter bans.
I'd be interested to see a rundown of which particular topics attract the most trolls here at LGM.
Well, Jennie thinks all topics are, fundamentally, gay sex.
which kind of makes you wonder what it is he's doing, down in mom's basement, though you really don't actually want to know.
"Well, Jennie thinks all topics are, fundamentally, gay sex."
Your trolls ain't so bad. From what I've seen they're somewhat knowledgeable and not nearly as monotonous as other trolls I have seen.
But I've only been poking around here for a month or so.
There's one inecredibly awful troll who was much more visible pre-Obama re-election. This month has been unusually troll-free.
An all-crow diet tends to leave one with little energy to troll.
I'm sure that pretty soon, his Mommy will give him his laptop and basement privileges back, he'll add Cheeto's and Mountain back into his diet, and that will give him the boost in carbs he lacks on an all-crow diet, to come back and comment here more often.
And then, he can go back to doing what he always did here:
-(J)anus-like, he can argue every side of every issue – often in the same comment thread – just to p*ss everyone off.
-He can put a kilo of cocaine to sleep.
-McArdle like, he can tell everyone that 2+2=3, or 5, or 1,234,567, or whatever he feels like, as he trolls his way through a comment thread – all, without Megan's lame kitchen gadget stories.
In other words – give Sybil a run for her money, as far as presonality disorders are concerned.
He is…
*Cue sound of child whining.*
I try to ignore him whenever possible.
Not always successfully, might I add.
The past month has been rather tame. There were days when JenBob ruined any thread that wasn't about sports.
The worst troll infestation I have seen was at Kevin Drum's before he put in captcha/identification requirements on his comment thread. The comment threads were unreadable. It surprised me that a blogger as moderate as Drum drew such venom, but maybe it is that calm, fact base analysis that drives trolls the most crazy.
Maybe that reserved demeanor is part of what drives them so nuts about Obama. Besides the whole being black thing.
Atrios' comments in the Golden age of blogging (2004-2006 or so) were the worst I've seen. It seems like there were always at least a half dozen regulars.
Obama is a conservative! Therefore, liberals should have voted for
McCarthy/Pinochet Ryan and that other dude.
one comment in that article, that i would take issue with, that newspaper readers only read articles, in the context of other articles. he left out the letters to the editor, which might get heated. however, it might be a month, before a responding letter got printed, more than enough time to have forgotten what it was the argument was about to begin with.
Thoughts on trollery:
Not as preening or ego-enhancement, but toward a point, I do get around, and as far as I can tell, I was the only person in the entire freaking world that thought the Fed would not accept the platinum coin. Yesterday the Fed said it would not accept the platinum coin.
Now this says something small but exemplary about me, and something exemplary about everyone else, and something generalizable about tribal discourse, cognitive capture, independent thought, other social phenomena, and sheep.
Well, for example, a common argument was "The Law says the Fed must accept the coin, therefore the Fed will accept the coin."
Leaving aside the accuracy of the first half statement, the form of the argument reveals a certain presumption of obedient behavior, conformism, submission and worship of "legitimate authority" and an ontological frame that cannot understand that the Other might act differently. An authoritarianism, of the kind that befuddles and paralyzes some kinds of people, when for example, the Bush/Obama administrations torture or when encountering trolls. Law "naturalizes" obedience.
The article discusses the emotional motivations of trolls, but inadequately discusses the emotional context of the larger community that is being "trolled." "Rules of civil discourse" do not exist primarily to make people happy, but first and foremost to make people obedient, content, conformist, and define any discourse that is not majoritarian and conservative as pretty much unspeakable.
This article doesn't deal specifically with trolls, but with insulting commenters. It is possible to troll without insulting, and it is possible to be a rude commenter without trolling.
Here's what I hope is regarded as the opposite of a troll-comment: I routinely encounter 4-6 postings here a day that are worth reading and actually force me to think about something. I believe that, as a result of some of what I've read here, I've gone from wishy-washily pro-choice to firmly pro-choice, so thank you for that, Lemieux–if you ever want someone to check your spelling, give me a call.
I hate most spectator sports with a hatred that abides and is pure–but I can appreciate that others will be interested in those postings.
As for trolls: I think the term does refer to an actually existing creature; but it also has a tendency to change into an epithet (a piece of trollishness, in other words) for "person who disagrees with me"; it is always, I would urge, to be used very carefully.
Until recently I only read LGM on occasion, and I'm still trying to understand your internet traditions. I am curious about this JenBob character. Generally I see some piece of generic conservative drivel and people lay intimmediately o it as an obvious JenBob production. Except sometimes they don't. How does one spot JenBob? Are all right-wing buffoons on here really JenBob posting under a variety of aliases, or are there others? Does he have particular tells?
How about that guy with the 'sasquatch Israel' thing; did he disappear? Is he JenBob now? It's all so complex.

hood pins on a caddie? :tisk:
I'm actually going out of town for a few weeks but I'll get some more pics when I get back. I'm in Fayetteville, NC. AAIIIC, I'm in the Navy too. Rears are 285's, can't remember the fronts, probably 255's. They're some damn nice rims, forged 3 piece aluminum. And as for the hood, it came with the car as well. But I like the hood pins anyhow, so to each his own.
Bit the bullet and bought a set of Forgestar F-14's with some V12's on them. Will take awhile for Forgestar to get them made up but I can't wait to get them on my V.. Will post pics as soon as i have them on the ride
Attachment 182217
this is a sick setup...how much did all of this cost roughly?
hey man i dig your setup. My V is stock right now, but looking at doing something similar. I found some H&R springs for around $300 online...does that sound reasonable? Did you have a shop install them for you? How is the ride compared to stock?
Also, how do you like the Potenza's?
Thanks for any feedback!
How do you like the ride with 20s? Any rubbing?


text: I can't disagree with that, but most owner's hire GM's to take care of fielding a team. I think most owners would say that they don't know enough about the game or the players to make those decisions. I equate it back to myself. When it comes to planning my financial future I don't have the time to do all the research myself so I hire a Financial Planner. Of course, I try to do some due diligence, but I have other obligations that make that difficult and sometimes impossible and I take their advice at face value. BTW. If you compare Charlie V's salary to the NBA average it is only $2mm more. To you and I it is a bad deal, but when you look at the averages it really isn't. Going back to the hard cap, if you were a GM and knew you could only spend X amount of dollars I don't think you would be willing to take that risk that somebody like JD did on CV. I long for the NBA days of the 80s - mid 90s.. At least we have college basketball! I swear every time I post about this subject (CBA) I get one step closer to saying "Good Riddance" to the NBA!!. Which kind of sucks because I just moved back to Michigan after living in Florida (although I still work in FL, thank you airtran/Delta for carting my butt back and forth weekly) for 23 years!!

if you connect your bank account to paypal, you can tranfer your paypal balance into your bank account. this is really only useful for people who are receiving more money than they are really going to spend via paypal, like folks who receive tons of orders, people who sell a lot on ebay, etc. but it can be useful for buyers too--if your paypal account is connected to your bank account, you can use the money in your checking account to make payments. there's really no downside to it that i have yet found, & i've been using paypal for over ten years. paypal takes a bite out of every payment you receive, but it's fairly negligible. i'm sure it adds up quick for paypal, but whatever.

- How do I (teach my dog to)? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/)
- - Having a hard time teaching the retrieve (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/449042-having-hard-time-teaching-retrieve.html)
Having a hard time teaching the retrieve
Hi everyone.
So far I have used two balls for doing obedience and little bits of heeling, fronts, prolonged downs, sits, impulse control. etc.
This is indoors or in a fenced yard. Outdoors, its been mostly food and once in a while tug on a long line.
I would really love to teach him retrieve, so on a long line I can reward with chasing a frisbee or a tug.
My problem while teaching the retrieve, is no matter which kind of material I use, he wants to keep the object and chew on it. I've tried to keep him hungry so he can be more focused on food, but no. Also all I have done so far is shaping. Point to an object and say 'take it' which he does. If I click right away, he drops it because he knows there is a treat. if I wait for him to drop it before I click, he just lies down and chews on it.
But perhaps I am going about this all wrong. This is what I saw on shaping the retrieve videos though.
A hand delivered retrieve would be nice to achieve.
Any advice for me?
In my particular situation with my current shepherd, she was tougher than the past two teaching the retrieve. I read up on the subject and one article ( which I wish I could find again ) described the "right of ownership" in a dog's world....or at least their interpretation. It described how dogs claim ownership to certain items and depicted all of a dog's body postures, positioning of claimed objects, reactions of the dog if it senses some other entity might be making a play for it's prized possessions and of course a dog's reluctance to relinquish such claimed items......it was a good read and helped me deal with the same problem you might be experiencing.....
I started small.....really small and slowly shifted the dog towards a direction where she didn't have 100% claim/rights to objects she guarded...including the objects for retrieval. I remember working in the living room ...a foot away from her and progressed from there...all that good cheery stuff upon successful completion..as small as it might be.
I also recall taking a position similar to how a dog might have "claim" to an object...whether a dog is laying down or standing tall over a prized possession with the object between their front two legs...they supposedly are letting the world know this object is mine....When my dog took this position with her prized tennis ball, I ( on hands and knees with head high..no playful bow posture on my behalf ) crawled over to her slowly but surely as she stood proud over her claimed tennis ball and lowered my head toward the tennis ball to take it.....I knew what most likely would happen and it did...she reacted to my attempt to dethrone her from "owner" of the tennis ball....and I gave her a response which squashed her attempt....yes, it was a perilous moment since her teeth made contact briefly with my head but I knew it was coming and as I said ...I stopped her dead in her tracks......After this one encounter...everything changed...there was little if any resistance going forward from her to claim ownership again..since this one instance laid down a new law of sorts that the ball was mine....and I don't mind sharing.
Anyway, I did this with my 4-5 month old pup...would I do this a full grown GSD or a dog I am not familiar with?...no way...I would have taken stitches most certainly and I counted on my pup making a half-hearted attempt to stop my advance for ownership....I will say, it was more formidable than I thought it would be. But I was dealing with my dog which already had a sense of "who's who"..but she was still vying for position at times with me and she was well within her rights to do as she did.
Would I suggest what I did to others without knowing them..such as in this forum...no way. I am simply describing what I did and here's why...I am a believer in dealing with a dog in a dog's "language" rather than expecting my dog to interpret my human "language" at many times. I have taken much criticism and joking at times for "acting" like a dog at times to get a message across to my pup at times...but that's okay...it has expanded my understanding. And yes, I know....the dog knows I am a human not a dog but at times "dogspeak" works wonderfully.
Sorry to burn your eyeballs with this novel...but it's a free forum full of free advice...and the old saying is pretty true at times.
That said, his favorite game when I am chasing him just for fun, is to quickly look for any object to carry in his mouth. He will probably be okay if I did like you did, and claimed ownership. But I am still not sure how to teach him to give me the object voluntarily.
You're half way home in my estimation.....you can "take" objects from your pooch .....the goal is to have your dog make it it's job to retrieve objects "voluntarily"...and most certainly surrender this object with no protest....with an attitude that in doing this, outweighs the benefits of "ownership".....makes my master happy...it's my job/task...etc...
"Taking" still implies a bit of internal struggle on behalf of one or both parties.
Once the taking becomes voluntary without the full retrieval completed you have set the wheels in motion. I assume you have or are working on a verbal or visual cue for a simple release of once prized possessions...if not, I would accomplish that first before expecting a dog to retrieve an object it is reluctant ( or needs to be taken from it ) to release in the first place....i.e. needs to be taken from.
I had the same problem with Dex not wanting to give up his ball
while playing fetch, he would bring it back, lay down in front
of me and tease me with it while chewing the snot out of it.
Then he would drop it, hoping I would make a play for it before
he could snap it up. Being the simple man I am I slapped the
ole trusty e-collar on him. Problem solved.
This is one of the few areas where he needs a refresher
course every now and then. He loves that ball and I think he
likes teasing me with it more than he likes chasing it.
Dex does not bring his ball back, my sheps love bringing stuff back and putting it right in my hand, dex will go get it and then proceed to take it too his man cave underneath the bushes in the backyard.

MOORHEAD – St. Thomas clinched a tie for its third consecutive MIAC football championship and a spot in the NCAA Division III playoffs for the fourth straight year with a 21-7 win over Concordia on Saturday.
The No. 3 Tommies (9-0, 7-0) who ran their regular-season winning streaks to 33 overall and 26 in the conference, won the title outright after second-place Bethel lost 24-17 at St. Olaf. Its the first time since 1947-49 that St. Thomas has won three consecutive conference football crowns.
Matt O'Connell, coming off a leg injury that kept him out of last week's win over Augsburg, starred for St. Thomas against the No. 16 Cobbers (7-2, 5-2). He finished with 283 yards of offense (11/18 completions for 217 yards and 66 yards rushing), including 247 in the first half.
The Tommies' defense also came up big against one of the MIAC's premier offenses for the second time in four games. They shut out previously unbeaten Bethel 37-0 at Homecoming on Oct. 13 in O'Shaughnessy Stadium. In this game, a Cobber team averaging 38 points a game was held to 272 total yards and no points over the first 54 minutes.

Crossin speaks out on Rudd, Nova Peris and 'silly' blue ties.
Jun 19, 2013 , 10:50 AM by Rohan Barwick
It probably wasn't Labor Senator Trish Crossin's plan at the start of 2013 to deliver her valedictory speech this year but yesterday she did.
The senator, who has been in the job representing the NT for 15 years will be stepping aside for Julia Gillard's 'Captain's Pick' candidate Nova Peris in September.
In her time in office she has seen a lot of change and campaigned on a number of issues.
Most recently she has pushed for compensation for members of the Stolen Generations.
Speaking on 783 Drive yesterday she said that despite the current gender debate, she hadn't experienced much sexism in her time in office, calling Julia Gillard's 'blue tie' analogy 'silly'.
She said she believes it isn't too late for Labor to switch back to Kevin Rudd - and that Nova Peris faces an extremely tough job.

from opposition she railed against the nuclear waste dump and the intervention. Upon coming to government, she led decisive action to rename the commonwealth radioactive waste management act as the national radioactive waste management act, and to rename the intervention's "Emergency Response" legislation as "Stronger Futures".
The same policies which ms crossin loudly attacked from opposition as 'racist' and 'anti-democratic' become initiatives she championed, once they had the labor rebranding.
sack them all

Thanks for the informative perspective! It is nice to have the option to buy a camera that does exactly what you want. - Scott Sohr
Ilford Single Use Cameras
The ILFORD XP2 Super Single Use Camera gives the convenience of being able to have the film processed at any photo processing center using C41 color negative systems, with proof prints made on color paper. These can either be close-to-neutral black and white prints, or color toned monochrome prints, and are ideal for deciding which negatives to print on black and white paper.
The ILFORD HP5 Plus Single Use Camera is intended for processing at locations with standard black and white film processing and printing chemistry, resulting in true, real black and white prints that have a unique look as the images are made from silver.
Steven Brierley, Director of Sales and Marketing at Harman, says "We continue to be surprised at the number of requests we get for the retro style black and white film cameras. Many are from digital users who now want the look of real black and white prints from a film negative, especially when they go to events and parties."
Cameras are available to purchase now from usual photographic dealers and distributors, and from www.HARMANexpress.com.

Celebs' Most Inspiring Quotes About Girls' Education & Giving Back
"Everybody has certain things that make them feel insecure. Even when you overcome a huge battle in your life and you make a ton of progress as a person, there are still things that will upset you and break your heart. But I feel like I'm at a point in my life where love is the most important thing, and I won't let anything come before it."
"Everybody makes up these ridiculous captions for their selfies that have nothing to do with the picture, like 'Layin' in bed on Saturday.' It's like, No, you are not! You just spent an hour getting ready for this picture! We all post a selfie for the same reason—because we feel better about ourselves than usual.

I really want to buy a set. I own 16 candles and gave 4 to my mother. Last night my daughter broke one of my mothers. Do I give my mom some of mine or do I compulsively buy 3 more sets. GEEZ. Decisions, decisions.
Safer than real candles
Will not drip hot wax on you (could also be a disadvantage for some)
Last longer than real candles
Does not smell as good as real candle
lots of comments from when these were sold back in July
here are some comments from a more recent sale this past January.It was a woot plus sale that included other flameless candles

Also less likely to catch your house on fire.
These are actually really good for a romantic evening because you don't have to worry about putting them out (or knocking them down if things go well). Really set a relaxing mood.

They do have a vanilla scent to them
Bought these last time. one set for us, the others as gifts. We really like them, they smell great, flicker like the real thing, and I may just get more.
The vanilla scent is strong enough that I'd be cautious if you/yours are sensitive to scents or prefer unscented products. (People who aren't hypersensitive/allergic to scents say it doesn't have much scent. My nose starts running as soon as I get near these!)
I bought these a while back and I love them! I suffer from chronic headaches and these are perfect for when I can't have lamps or overheadlights on. A few of these in a room is the perfect amount of lighting for when I have a headache. The timer feature is nice too, I have mine set to come on everyday at slightly different times so they're lit all evening.

I've found the scent mellows with time. When you first open the package it's overwhelming, but once they're in the room for a while it's a much softer scent.

These do smell great. I bought a similar set of Westinghouse about a year ago (and they still smell great) and when these are in use, everyone's like "can you bake us a cake?"
Have these, love these! I have actually given some away as gifts to my peoples who have kids and/or pets. They are vanilla scented, strong for a while, and eventually fade after a few weeks to where you don't notice it unless you're right next to it. If I had the funds right now I would get a few more- very pleased with these.
Bought a set for Mom for her birthday. They work very well. They safely light the way at night, add to the Christmas decor, and provide a nice scent for the bathroom.
Really pretty when lit, the design comes out better than you can see online.....and the timer is a great feature.
I bought three sets of these last year, and I love them - I have some on a timer in my living room, and gave the rest as gifts. I would order more, but this time around Woot won't send them to military addresses
The timer function sold me for sure. In for two sets.
Two unrelated things:
1) These make great night lights for toddlers if you've got somewhere high up to put them.
2) It will take you two or three evenings to stop thinking, "Oh crap, that candle is way too close to the _______"
I bought these around Christmas time. We use them a lot and I'm happy with them. I personally hate the smell... vanilla's not my thing... I wish they made odorless ones, but other than that they're great.
They make a few different styles of candles. Only one style is available here. It's funny but after buying mine I started noticing how often these show up on TV. Just about anytime you see thick candles in some background shot on TV they're made by Westinghouse.
Thank you!! I needed to know that.
My family bought 3 sets last July and we love them! My wife hesitated when they first came on Woot last year and we regretted not purchasing it. Of all the stores that carry "flameless candles" these are the BEST! The waxy feel & appearance, the faint vanilla scent (which unfortunately fades after several weeks), the size, the timer, and most importantly the price makes this the Woot deal of the year.
I bought these for my parents on the woot-plus over christmas. They're getting on in age and I worry about them burning the house down. The only complaint I've heard so far is they take forever to roast a marshmallow.
Do they come with an on & off remote?
I'm a hardcore Candle user, so much so that I need advice if anyone knows of Yankee Candle anonymous? (*~*) I'm taking the plunge on 2 sets of these for 1 reason only....Yankee Candles which everyone agrees are the best, well...after heavy use for MANY years, I realized recently what a scam they are. Their candles smell AWESOME as soon as you open them, burn them for the 1st use, light the the next time & they smell as strong as any cheapo brand you can buy at the dollar store. They must wrap them with scented oil or something inside the cello wrapper & once you break the packaging it evaporates shortly thereafter. I'm Free At LAST & now addicted to batteries!!!
TT...one LED/candle...or is it "they're also stuffed full of LEDs that glow and flicker like a real wick".
I also bought these the last time they were offered at Woot. We love them. The vanilla smell IS strong when you first open up the package but do fade the longer they are set out, which is fine by me as I do not like vanilla scented stuff. I found a nice glass vase and put the candle in it with some decorative stones to sit the candle on and it really has made a nice center piece. Not having to deal with manually lighting and blowing out with a soot trail makes them all that much more desirable.
I bought these before Christmas. I split the set up to give as small gifts and ended up keeping two for myself. They are beautiful, real wax on the outside and smell great. I do believe I will be purchasing some more!
These are wonderful for the elderly who can benefit from the timed light each night...it can make a lonely house feel a little happier. These can also be staggered on different timers and used to assist on the pathway to, and in the bathroom.
Additionally, they're great for nursing homes and other senior residential facilities - most places will allow these. One candle can really make a difference in the atmosphere of the room, and in the mood of the resident.
How many batteries does each candle need? The set seems to come with 2 AA batteries and 4 candles. So just wondering ...

In the Box:
(4) Westinghouse 603004-CX1R Flameless 6" Pillar Candles
(8) AA Batteries
2 batteries per candle.
I am getting a couple of more sets. I got these back in early September and I have had a few on the daily 5 hour timer every day since. A couple of weeks ago I started noticing the light got dimmer and dimmer.
Time for new batteries.
So they lasted me 4+ months on the timer. I can't really tell when they started to get dimmer until I really noticed it.
I am owned by cats and I get more forgetful as time gets on. .
These are much safer for me.
I second what someone said about needing a few days until you realize you can't burn the paper that is laying near it, or your hand when reaching over lol.
They look pretty real if you don't look straight down into them.
I have them all over the apartment on different timers.
One set will be a gift.
For me, the timer really makes these. I don't even touch them anymore once they are set.
I got these before Christmas to put in my windows and I really like them. Only issues are that one had a dud timer (it wouldn't go off when the others did) and I dropped one and it is really made of wax. so it broke. Oh and the timer is just approximate. I had set them all up to light starting at 6 in 5 second increments, but now they sort of randomly go on at about 6ish or 630. But I still plan on getting another set or two for my porch because they really are cool.
So just how strong is the scent on these? Certain times of the year mostly spring I'm very sensitive to strong scents. Are these things going to drive me nuts? Someone mentioned they lose their smell after a while? Could I put them out in the garage for a week or two and not be able to smell them when I bring them back in the house?

When I first opened up the package and removed a candle you could smell the strong vanilla scent but it was not that potent. I could only smell it if I was close range to the candle. I have had it out now about a month and I can only smell the vanilla when I put my nose up to it. But I do not have a super sensitive sniffer nor do I have allergies of any kind.
Got these the last time around and LOVE them! I have two in lanterns on my hearth. Makes a nice light on fireless nights, and the timer is wonderful - no opening and closing the lanterns to "light and blow out". Just make sure if you do get them for lanterns to measure the opening - I had one in mind for another lantern and while the candle would fit nicely IN it, it won't fit through the door.
I am pretty sensitive to scents. Like others said, when you take them out its at its strongest. I had one on the dining table. It was 2 feet from my face and I moved that one for about a week or two.
After that, I could barely smell the scent. Just a lingering here and there.
By now I can't smell anything. Which is fine with me.
I do not have allergies, but I have a very sensitive nose. I do not like the vanilla smell of these, but it really does weaken over time. So at first, I put them in places that I would not be right on top of - ie the fireplace mantle, top of a book case, etc. These are pretty good flameless candles. I am a candle person and really like ambient lighting. So since these have a timer, they work really well for me!
Question: I'll be as brief as I can be...
I have some lamps that look like large candle sticks. They have a bulb in them like a night light bulb. As a shade, they have wax candle sleeves. So when they turn on, they basically look like candles (however they do not flicker). I have six of them. So here is the question... does anyone have any idea how I could get the LED apparatus out of these so I can use just the wax sleeve? The reason is I really need to replace each sleeve on my lamps. The LED candles are the exact size I need. But if I buy wax candle sleeves from someone online, they cost more for just one sleeve than the entire set of 4 that you get with these candles. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

A new band of undercover Christian missionary is making an appearance in Muslim North Africa as the search for new converts extends to unexplored areas of humanity. The number of Moroccan Christians has supposedly grown this decade from 100 to about 1,500 which certainly should cause alarm to the millions of Muslims in the region. It is estimated there are about several thousand Algerian Muslims which should not be surprising given the extended French presence in that country. Christians are using television and the Internet to spread word of their religion. Amin, a young convert to Christianity, was told by his father to leave the house and seek help from Christians because he was no longer a member of the family.
Most new Christian missionaries do not have the extended knowledge of local cultures which was more common among earlier mission efforts. The new missionary is more likely to establish a business like a language school and use it as base to convert individuals. It is most likely that anyone who converts to Christianity while remaining in a Muslim area must pray and engage secretly in religious activities.
It always amazes this writer why people of religion become so upset if an individual decides to pray elsewhere. Isn't the object to get a person in a connection with God? Oh well, I guess that is very naive since for some religions the real issue is how many join your group.

I am 99% sure it's a Ruger, in the P85/P89/P90 vein. Later and more compact models (P94 and later) take the frame all the way up to the front edge of the slide at rest (later adding a Picatinny rail), but the P89 has that kind of front end. Check this out (P89DC) for comparison:
(if it doesn't show up, the URL is http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg05-e.htm and look for the P89, second picture).
In fact, I think that's it, in stainless.


text: Hello to all my fellow gun owners, i recently bought a pardner tactical shotgun, 16 inch barrel i believe, havent shot it yet, i read good reviews about them, and some negative ones also on the internet, i also bought the 00 buck shot .. This is strictly for home protection, i live in pittsburgh, pa .. Crime here has gotten pretty bad, my question is simple, does anyone own one? And how do you like it? How does it shoot? I think i paid 179.00 .. But like i said its just for home, i have 13 handguns, semi's and revolvers, so i thought id buy a shotgun, and since i dont hunt anymore, i didnt need to go buy an expensive one, i sold my remington 870 express mag a few years back, and yes i know how good the gun is, but didnt want to spend that much again on a shotgun, especially when i gave up hunting, and now i shoot alot at the range with my sigs, glock, xd, smith m&p ect .. But if anyone owns one, id like a lil info from you guys, instead of watching some of these clowns on youtube.. Whatcha think of the pardner tactical? Thanks ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters as well .. And be safe out there .. Thanks

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 54, September 30, 1995
New Charging Algorithm at ARSC
As of October 1st, 1995 ARSC will be changing its algorithm for calculating Service Units (SUs). The current algorithm is:
1.000*Y-MP(CPU-hours) + 0.050*T3D(CPU-hours) + 0.005*Memory(MWord-hours) + 0.003*your Denali files(GByte-hours) ------------------------ = total SU'sThe new algorithm as of October 1st is:
1.000*Y-MP(CPU-hours) + 0.010*T3D(CPU-hours) + 0.005*Memory(MWord-hours) + 0.003*your Denali files(GByte-hours) ------------------------ = total SU'sThe only change is the charge for using the ARSC T3D:
from: 0.050 *T3D(CPU-hours) to: 0.010 *T3D(CPU-hours)This reflects a depreciation of T3D time in line with our attempts to boost T3D utilization. It brings our valuations in line with other T3D sites and advertises our wish to become a production site for T3D applications. If you have questions about this change contact Mike Ess.
T3E Information at the Alaska CUGCUG is the best place to get information about CRI and their users. In the coming weeks I'll be sending out some of what I learned at this CUG but for this issue I'd like to share what I learned about the T3E. These are just my notes from various speakers and I couldn't write as fast as they could talk.
From Jeff Brook's talk on single PE optimization:
T3D T3E --- --- Dec's EV4 chip Dec's EV5 chip 6 clock pipeline 4 clock pipeline 150 Mhz 300 Mhz 8KB data cache first 8KB data cache direct mapped direct mapped write back write back secondary 96KB cache 3 way set associative write thru cache coherency by CRI 1 read ahead stream 6 read ahead streams From the streams benchmark (simulated results for T3E)(MBs) operation IBM 6000/590 T3D T3E copy 600 205 543 scale 533 151 514 summation 655 151 583 triad 655 106 606 (This benchmark measures the bandwidth of the memory system as timed by a DO loop executing the above operations.)From Steve Johnson's talk on new hardware from CRI:
Design started in 4Q 1992 Targeted to be 3X better that T3D in the components: CPU speed Memory Interconnect speed Entry level price $.5M 1 PE per node (currently 2 PE per node on T3D) 1 I/O controller per 4 PEs (currently 1 I/O node per 64 PEs on T3D) Can use CRI's SCX connection to a CRI PVP machine Available March 1996From Irene Qualters talk in the General Session:
Target is 3X the performance of the T3D From simulations: 5X faster on some applications 4.2X faster on the harmonic mean for the Livermore Loops Will have "serverized Unix" I/O nodes and system server nodesFrom Gary Geissler's talk "T3E Overview and Status:
The current status is that they are waiting for custom chips to come back from their IC vendor. The official product announcement will be at the end of November (so all that is in this report is subject to change.) CRI is on target with their long term goal for the T3X family (based on 2048 PEs):
1993 T3D Peak performance 300 Gflop/s 1996 T3E Peak performance 1 Tflop/s 1998 T3SN Sustained " 1 Tflop/s (SN = scalable node)All of the T3E is implemented in CMOS, which is a proven, mature technology. CMOS implementation permitted the implementation of an air cooled version. The T3E will be "binary compatible" with T3D executables but additional performance will come from recompiling the source. It is not intended to be a collection of workstations but can be used in that mode. Available in 16 to 2048 PEs in multiples of 4PEs. Available in late March, 1996.
Uses the Dec Alpha 21164, EV5 chip. The design starts with the 300 Mhz version but has the ability to use the 380 Mhz and 450 Mhz versions of the chip. This chip can execute four instructions simultaneously: 1 floating point add, 1 floating point multiply and 2 integer instructions. This is in contrast to the T3D which can execute only 2 instructions per clock period.
With a single PE per node, the memory is now 8 bank interleaved with a 1.2 GB/s peak bandwidth. This memory will have 6 streams as opposed to the 1 stream on the T3D. These high speed registers perform like the single stream on the T3D accessible with the rdahead flag on the loader. Their prefetch capability is shown to give better performance than an off chip cache in simulation.
The torus interconnect is more efficient and consistent than that on the T3D. It has an adaptive capability to deviate from the usual path between specific PEs to avoid contention at an intermediate PE.
With 4 PE's per board (or module) there will be 1 SCX channel to control I/O. (SCX is CRI's I/O technology beyond hippi, maybe more details in future newsletters.)
Hardware on DisplayThere was a T3E chassis on the floor in the commons area at the Alaska CUG. On the last day of CUG there were a table with the CPU board, memory daughter cards, power supply and cooling elements on display next to the chassis.

Australia Day and Indigenous culture
26 January 2014 , 10:39 AM by Rob Minshull
Australia Day is a time for celebration, but - for some - also a moment of controversy. Invasion Day protests are a regular occurrence and opponents of Australia Day say it should be more about remembering the dispossession of the Indigenous peoples than celebrating our achievements.
John Moriarty, however, is an Aboriginal activist who argues that Australia Day does not demean Indigenous history and heritage and that it is a day to celebrate all things Australian, including Indigenous culture.

I was verbally abused outside my local supermarket by a woman of indiginous decent for flying the aussie flag of my car window . i was surprised and embarrassed at being ridiculed in public for having my own beliefs. how can i tolerate differences when this behaviour is displayed. i could go on about the persecution of my own familys ancestors but instead i feel lucky and privilaged to live here and now......toughen up princess....seems to be quite an appropriate response

So here is the story. I am in Athens, Georgia this week doing what I do. I am rebuilding 3 old power supplies we built in the early to mid 80's. I happen to look up in the logic section and notice 3 strange looking red led's. Upon closer inspection, they bear a striking resemblance to the LED seen in the MOM phots on the ref CD. I can't get a really good look at MOM lamp, but from what I can see, it is dead nuts on. This lamp is actually incandescent, and not an LED. It's an odd little thing to say the least. The wires are not soldered to it, instead they plug in. The bezel is actually black, and not chrome. It also has a spring clamp to hold it in place, and it is a 28VDC lamp. I have 9 of the red ones in my tool bag now, and can get up to 12 more clear ones. Have a look and tell me what you think. I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but its worth a shot.
I am going to sell the small quantity that I have if anyone is interested. As mentioned in the post below, I have 12 as of right now. $10 shipped in the US, and $12 shipped world wide. I won't be able to ship them until Aug. 3rd, or 4th, as I won't be home until then. Paypal only.

State Am starts
Pleat (the younger) starts strong in State Am
Phil Pleat and his son, James, enjoyed a special moment in Cherry Hills Village, Colo., last summer when they became the third father-son duo in history to compete in the United States Amateur Championship.
Closer to home on Monday at the Golf Club of New England in Stratham, James Pleat got off to a solid start toward doing something his father has already done three times: winning the New Hampshire Golf Association State Amateur Championship.
Pleat of Nashua CC shot a two-under 70 to lead the field of 144 after the first round of medal play. Today's second round will determine the field of 64 who will advance to match play beginning on Wednesday.Pleat takes a one-shot lead into today's round over Jamie Ferullo of Rochester CC. Trailing Pleat by two strokes with an even par 72 are Joe Cooper of Portsmouth CC, newly crowned NHGA Juniors champion Tom Hixon of Rye and Damon Salo of the Shattuck Golf Club.
Pleat did not bogey a single hole on Monday. He registered a birdie on a par 4 ninth hole and went two-under with his second birdie on the par 3 14th hole.
Ferullo on the other hand had a topsy-turvy round.
He was five-over on the front nine despite making an eagle on the par 5, third hole. But bogeys on holes two, six, and nine coupled with double bogeys on holes five and seven cost him.
However it was a far different story on the back side. He eagled the par 5 10th hole and then ran the table for four straight birdies on holes 14 through 17 before parring out on 18.
Cooper was two-over after the first nine and managed to break even with four birdies on the back nine.
Salo was two-under after nine and hit the skids, bogeying 10 and 11 and carding a double bogey on hole 15.
Hixon has been hot of late, winning the NHGA Junior Championship at Campbell's Scottish Highlands in Salem, besting Matthew Paradis of Manchester Central, a solid player out of Derryfield CC. Hixon birdied holes 15, 16 and 17 to pull even for a shot at medalist today.
Jim Cilley of Canterbury Woods, the 2011 champ, sits in a six-way tie for 12th place with a 76.
Defending champ Joe Leavitt of Atkinson finished the day with a six-over 78. Phil Pleat, the three-time champ, is at seven-over 79 while two-time champ Craig Steckowych of Portsmouth is at 80. Dan Arvanitis of Derryfield, the 2001 champ, faired better with a 78.

The Helio Courier also has "automatic" "air driven" LE slats. Socata Rally does too.
Really like his M2... notice...he never runs out of ammo...
Well I'll be damned, there are no buried Spitfires after all.
"The archaeologists have concluded that evidence does not support the original claim that as many as 124 Spitfires were buried at the end of the war, the BBC's Fergal Keane reports."
Well fuck.
Im so sorry to do this.... but I spent my day with the collings foundation heavies. Flew from New Smyrna Beach to Sebring, FL (about an hour) in the B24 Witchcraft (formerly dragon and his tail). Got to climb nose gun to tail gun as I wanted while in flight. I have to admit, I really enjoyed sitting in the nose gun, buy myself watching the florida swamp land flow by as we flew through rain. Something very peaceful about it.
Ill say it again "WOW" to the previous post, thats friggen awesome.
May I present a Mustang, two Spitfires and THE MOSQUITO!
Yeah, we're just a little bit jealous.
Wow, what an amazing thing to do! I'd give some very precious body parts for that opportunity.
The U-2 flight manuals have been recently de-classified
Thats awesome!
I've got a couple hours in one, 25 yeas ago as a low-time pilot (which I suppose I still am). It was a cool airplane for a guy with under 100 hours to fly in comparison the the old C-172 I was usually stuck with. The trailing link landing gear also helps with STOL performance, since it allows you to really drop it in without concern.
Unless they are just saying that to keep the thieves and looters away... You'll know it was a ruse if work begins shortly on an "expansion" at Rangoon International.
Took the day off yestereday because I was supposed to be out at the Barry Goldwater bombing range, shooting A-10s and F-16s, dropping practice bombs and strafing targets. It was cancelled at the last minute, so I went out to Scottsdale airport to catch some flying machines out there.
Well, just got a checkout on the new visual display upgrade on our flight simulator and without going into any details let me just say HOLY FREAKING CRAP IT IS AMAZING!!
So did the Messerschmitt 262.
I believe the F-86 Sabre Jet did also.
Probably using German blueprints.
Without consulting other than my memory I was under the impression the F86 wing was "inspired" by the ME262's wing, since at the time the US had no swept wing experience. I think the sweep is the same, and other dimensions, such as chord and camber (except trailing edge sweep) were very similar. The ME262 itself may have had a NACA "inspired" theoretical shape. Of course, I could be wrong.
As we discussed in previous posts, once in a while you lose a friend
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Bob H and I go back a long way, late 70s, last time we met was in Inuvik NWT over Caribou stew and bannock a couple of years ago.<o></o>
Crashed the Twin Otter in Antarctica, he is probably the most experienced pilot on type and in hostile winter environments. He died in one of our favorite aircraft type DHC-6. We spent many evenings discussing the qualities of that machine and arguing about best power settings and esker landing techniques. These were the best hours I ever logged unfortunately you eventually change types but Bob never did, he loved the North and the extreme South for that matter.<o></o>
We all accept the occasional outcome associated with our profession but sometimes it hurts more and the cut goes deeper. This is the one time
RIP Bob.<o></o>
The russian mig 15 and the f86 saber were both inspired by the german scientists that were "stolen" or given "asylum" at the end of world war II.
Our idea of a jet wing looked like this (p51 wing anyone?):

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jan 30, 2013.
Looks like Daye + 2 2nd rounders possibly
Even then it is an awesome deal. We send Prince to a contender, which we all agree is best for him and for us. We lose Daye, who might be useful to the Grizzlies and 2 2nd rounders where it is difficult to find value. Maggette gets put back into the line up, Middleton and English will get some minutes. And Calderon can play the point and dish out all the assists.
Please no Maggette
Woj update "Austin Daye will go to Memphis as part of package with Prince...no draft picks"
Still need to find a way to get Stuck out of town.... Wonder what we look like as a starting unit in a week..
Adrian Wojnarowski@WojYahooNBA Trade call with league office on three-way deal that sends Rudy Gay to Toronto begins at 7 pm EST. Adrian Wojnarowski@WojYahooNBA Austin Daye will go to Memphis as part of package with Prince, sources tell Y! Sports. No draft picks.
Grizzlies trade Rudy Gay to Raptors in three-team deal with Pistons - Yahoo! Sports
Dumping Tay + our former 1st round pick for an expiring contract is Joe's best move since he dumped Ben Gordon + a 1st round pick for an expiring contract.
All that logging into PF.com finally paid off.
Finally Joe makes a trade! I'm playing the lottery!
Grizzlies, Raptors, Pistons Agree to Trade | HOOPSWORLD | Basketball News & NBA Rumors
Knowing Joe's luck, the deal will fall apart when Daye's physical reveals that he's been using the deer antler spray?
its official people I will be much happier, cant wait to see what a pg can do with this group. also freeing up the sf position is gonna be great.not to mention the extra cap room with the loss of the contracts and calderon expiring
Ohh Hellss yaaa!!! I think I brought this up months ago. Never actually thought it'd come into fruition haha. I'm gonna miss Prince though but he deserves to be in a contending team.
So who gets the start at SF and/or SG tonight?
The Low makes a return to the PF and things start happening....where were you 8 weeks ago bro By the way welcome back!!
I wouldn't be opposed to resigning Calderon
Knight, Stuckey, Singler, Maxiel, Monroe

Weather has a way of upsetting the best production plans. And for precasters who require a steady production process, losing a few days to bad weather can turn a great job into merely a good one.
Dan Wilmont, a concrete producer who has worked for several large firms in the Milwaukee area, knows this problem only too well. "In our part of the country, we need to plan for 10 of days of production losses due to all types of weather, from sleet to snow, and rain to hail," he says.
Producers have tried many waterproofing methods to expand production. Yet three constraints have stymied them. Precast concrete elements require great stretches of open space. Their weight requires cranes for lifting. And they must be moved from the casting area to inventory or shipped rather quickly. These constraints make it difficult to find effective temporary structures.
Wilmont brought his production loss problem to Don Kubenik, president of H. Kubenik Mechanical, a steel fabricator in Milwaukee. Together, they developed an innovate solution to a precaster's problem—a portable roof.
Kubenik's engineering team has solved many tough construction problems. His firm has designed and built dust collectors, paint booths, and other heavy-duty enclosures found in some of the toughest applications in the world.
The key is the crane
The ingenuity of Kubenik's design for this temporary enclosure is its reliance on the crane. "Every precast plant has a heavy-duty crane," says Kubenik. Knowing the maximum lift point and capacity of the industry's most common straddle cranes, his engineers devised a foldable, portable roofing truss broad enough to cover practically every size casting bed that can be set with one pick.
The truss is installed in three stages. First, the 100-foot, center support that becomes the roof's peak is hoisted. This allows the 20-foot top cords, hinged at about 6-foot intervals, to the center support to expand to about a 30-degree angle.
Once the ground is cleared, a hydraulic wench draws up a cable attached to another support, which is connected to a series of bottom cords. The roof is fully extended as the cords become parallel with the ground.
Once extended, the crane then sets the truss on corner supports positioned over the casting area. When installed, the roof's peak is about 25 feet off the ground, allowing about 10 to 12 feet of headroom underneath. The process takes less than 15 minutes.
While the general design is standard, Kubenik plans to custom-build each unit for particular site conditions. In fact, he sees the potential for a smaller version of this roof style for construction sites.

By Chris Harris
Wojciech Szczesny has relished the chance to face Thierry Henry in training - now he can't wait to line up alongside the Arsenal legend.
Henry's proposed loan spell with his old club has yet to be rubber-stamped but Szczesny has got used to having the New York Red Bull striker around while he maintains his fitness ahead of the new MLS campaign.
The Polish goalkeeper has done his best to keep Henry at bay - but he admits it has been tough.
"He's quality," Szczesny told Arsenal Player. "He's still a great finisher and he's very clever, he's very intelligent.
"As well as that he's a great figure to have in the dressing room. He helps all the young players off the pitch as well as on the pitch.
"It's good to have him there and hopefully everything will be confirmed and done as soon as possible because we need him."

'Lamoureux (8/20/1984, 5'10", 155 lbs.) spent last season with the ECHL's Alaska Aces, where he was named the league's goaltender of the year. Lamoureux led all goalies with a regular season record of 33-16-2, and set an ECHL record with eight shutouts. He was also second in GAA at 2.29. He followed that up with a league-leading 15 playoff wins and 1.95 GAA as the Aces advanced to the Kelly Cup Championship.'

Sabres signs Jean-Philippe Lamoureux
Lamoureux, Potulny sign NHL deals
'After a brilliant season in the ECHL – where Lamoureux was named the league's rookie of the year and goalie of the year – the 2008 Hobey Baker finalist has signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres.'
Sabres stand pat on ticket prices
'In addition to the ability for fans to create their own personalized mini-pack by choosing from five to 40 games, the team has also created new pre-packaged mini-packs. The packages will consist of a minimum of five games.'
2009 Preseason schedule
'The team will hit the road to play in Detroit (September 19) and Washington (September 21) before returning home to host the Toronto Maple Leafs on September 23. The team will conclude their preseason schedule with back-to-back games in Canada when the Sabres visit Montreal (September 26) and Toronto (Sept. 27).'
Sabres sign Sekera, MacArthur
'MacArthur, 24, went from the Sabres' 13th forward to a key contributor early last season, even subbing at center in the fall as the team battled injuries. Six of his 17 goals came in the opening 13 games of his first full season. But he also slipped after his torrid start, earning a spot in the press box. He finished with 31 points in 71 games and was a minus-4.'
Sabres cap season tickets at 14,825 for '09-10 season
'"Season ticket holders are very important to the business success of the organization," said Chief Operating Officer, Dan DiPofi. "Our fans have been very loyal over the years and we are extremely grateful they have continued to support the team. We take great pride in the partnership we have nurtured with our fans over the last several years."'
Youngest Foligno carries on NHL family tradition
'"There's nothing better than trying to put up points in the NHL and it's one thing I'm capable of. I just need to keep working hard as the off-season goes on … to develop into an NHL player."'
Sabres retain Sekera, MacArthur
'Sekera skated in 69 games last season for Buffalo, posting three goals and 16 assists along with a minus-11 rating in his first full NHL campaign. The 23-year-old missed 12 games due to an ankle injury.'
Sabres sign Sekera, MacArthur
'The signings leave Drew Stafford and Mark Mancari as the Sabres' only restricted free agents.'
Sabres reach agreements with MacArthur and Sekera
'Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced today the team has agreed to terms with restricted free agent defenseman Andrej Sekera on a multi-year deal and the club has reached an arbitration settlement on a one-year contract with forward Clarke MacArthur.'
Wellander is glad to be back with Buffalo Sabres
'"Once July 1 hits my agent starts talking, comes up with a plan on what we're going to do. He spoke to quite a few teams, there was quite a bit of interest. At the end of the day Buffalo was a good fit for us."'
Sabres 2009 draft review
'In a system long on skill but short on size, Buffalo's 2009 draft was a breath of fresh air.'
Connor Knapp: Mind and matter
'Standing at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds and still growing at the age of 19 years old, Knapp believes his height can – on many levels – put him above the competition. "I can obviously play a little deeper, cover more angles," Knapp said. "Smaller goalies are usually a little faster because they can get their feet under them quicker than I can, but that balances out because I can play deeper and get to shots quicker with less distance to go."'
Sabres release 2009-10 schedule
'The 82-game slate, announced Wednesday, has the same breakdown as last season: the Sabres play Northeast Division opponents six times (24 total), other Eastern conference teams four times (40 total) and Western Conference foes once, with three "at-large" contests also added (18 total).'
Season opens Oct. 3 against Montreal
'The Sabres will pack their suitcases for a seven-game, 12-day road trip, their longest since the 2005-06 campaign, beginning Jan. 14 in Atlanta and wrapping up Jan. 25 in Vancouver. They hit the road again for a five-game stretch March 13 to 21.'

The US Treasury Department has awarded $1.2 million to two Hawaii credit unions for financial assistance awards for Native Hawaiians. US Senator Brian Schatz said today the awards will give better opportunities, security and stability to Native Hawaiian families. Queens Federal Credit Union will get $659,000 while Hawaii First Federal Credit Union will get $524,000 for fiscal 2013. The awards are part of an assistance program geared toward Native Americans. Treasury officials say the awards help people who often don't have access to traditional banking. Individual awards come as loans, grants, investments and deposits.
