great sounding, easy to work with kit. Loved the result but i think it could be cheaper considering that the cover it's not included
Great kit, easy to follow instructions. Made my $300 Japanese hollow body sound like a ES-125. The one improvement that can be made is an option for the base plate. the plate can't mount to the dogear covers. depending on your build/repair, you may need to get another plate with the mounting tabs
I am very pleased with the kit I bought, really fantastic!
This Kit is great! Every thing fits..You can pot the bobbin without warping like the plastic...Also the magnets are magnetized...I tap the pole piece holes with a 5/40 tap...
A friend bought me one of these kits for a present after I helped him with a guitar build. It was easy and straight forward to put together and I wound it with about a 10k coil. I would always now go for the Alnico 5 magnets rather than the Alnico 2 magnets ....... those three extra Alnico's REALLY make a difference!
First time buying from stewmac AND first time building a pickup. At my first go, my (40 gauge, instead of traditional 42) copper wire broke at 5500 rotations with 2.8 ohm resistance. Decided to try it out and the sound was very brittle. Wasnt happy with it so i took it off and added another 3000 rotations totalling 8500. Ive played alot of p90s and i can say this is now one of my favorites. Sounds in between a humbucker and a hot single coil. I just wish the copper wire came with the kit. Oh yea and did i mention that shipping was very fast? Thanks stewmac!
these kits are great, but i wish they came with wire to wind them with, great for a first timer though!
I have purchased several of these kits and find them to be an economical and faster way to gather all the parts at once. Best of all, quality is very good.
Overall great kit, but the description indicates that dogear covers are available leading you to beleive they would actually work with this kit. Unfortunately the baseplate provided does not work with the dogear covers and there doesn't seem to be an option for the dogear baseplate from stewmac. Also, the screw heads of the adjustment screws strip out very easily and the brass screws heads snapped off leaving the body of the screw embedded in the bobbin. Both are probably my fault so take extra care when dealing with the screws.
These kits are great. I wanted the plastic bobbins but they were out of stock so I went with the maple and fiberboard kits. The instructions are perfect. I know some earlier reviewers had a hard time with fitting all the screws etc. Always test fit everything before gluing and assembling. The parts are tight fitting but they work really great. Run your polepieces through first to thread the holes in the maple to make things easier to assemble later. I wound the neck pickup to around 10,000 winds and it read 8.35k. The bridge I did 10,600 winds and it read 8.6k. The bridge was not hot enough for my liking so I overwound it another 1000 winds (just solder a new piece of pickup wire to the end). Now it reads 9.75k and is smoking hot. It sounds really great. My guitar is mostly maple with black walnut so I didn't notice any real problems with treble loss on the overwound pickup. These are great pickups. I think I'm more of a humbucker guy but for $17 each this was a really fun project to try P90s. I also did the reverse wind reverse polarity on the neck pickup. Even though my bridge is a lot hotter than the neck it has a great hum cancelling middle position. Very useable. I'm using 500k pots with a 0.022uF paper in oil tone capacitor.

Still not sure why this has gone on for 7 pages. It's like questioning why the good guy with a hand pistol in a film manages to kills 6 people who all have assault rifles whilst never reloading, it's not important, the end result is all that is important, he killed 6 bad guys.
Like wise Adam stopping Samus heading into sector 0 guns blazing against unfreezable metroids as MB had hoped is all that is important.

Home » Artists » Romero Britto
Romero Britto is a Brazilian neo-pop artist, painter and sculptor. He is best known for his expressionist color patterns of contemporary artworks combining the multi-dimensional facets of cubism, pop art and graffiti painting in his work.
Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil on October 6, 1963. Along with his eight brothers and sisters, he grew up living an extremely modest life in Recife, Brazil. His bold and colorful imagery permitted him to fulfill his life with vibrant colors and image of a beautiful world. At that point, Romero Britto's canvas was any scrap of newspaper or card boards he could find. With time, his extravagant passion for pop art grew incessantly.
In 1983, Romero Britto went to Europe to examine firsthand the Art of the masters. After demonstrating his artworks in several galleries and private shows; Britto travelled to United States of America where Pop Art was prospering at that time. He then moved to Miami and set up a studio open to the public. Romero Britto spent the next few years exhibiting and attracting the attention of many. But his resolve remained unshakable and his faith for art remains intact. Then, in 1989, Michel Roux, founder of Absolut Vodka's Absolut Art Ad Campaign, happened to visit his studio and offered him the job of creating artwork for their famous logo. From this, Britto's name has been added to the list of artist such as Warhol and Haring, also commissioned for the renowned Vodka campaign. As the time passed, Britto's studio in Miami Beach was rapidly increasing popularity as a place to meet and acquire an entirly unique style of art.
Constantly challenging himself and his artwork, Britto worked for various corporate giants including Movado, Disney, Enrico Coveri, Pepsi, the United Nations, BMW and Royal Caribbean Cruises. His proficient use of form and color reverberate with activism, permitting him to address an array of social and political issues.
Today Romero Britto's work is represented in galleries and museums across five continents. His work has been exhibited all over the world and has accomplished a colossal following. Romero Britto's artwork has received notoriety from several corporate commissions and famous art galleries. As a sculpture artist, Britto's sculptures are featured at various locations across the world, including JFK airport, NY and Hyde Park, London. His portfolio also includes several series of postage stamp designs for the United Nations Postal Administration and a postage stamp in Brazil that creates the 450th Anniversary of the city of Sao Paulo. In the artist's honor, New York Times wrote, "Matisse channeling Picasso," when Britto created a living canvas performed by the Cirque du Soleil in celebration of Super Bowl XLI.

Catamounts get jump on New HampshireFebruary 07,2013MENS BASKETBALL
Vermont 63, UNH 48
BURLINGTON Luke Apfeld scored 16 points and Vermont jumped on New Hampshire early en route to a 63-48 win over the Wildcats Wednesday night in an America East game.
The Catamounts (15-7, 8-2), last years A-East champions, stormed to a 34-16 halftime lead over New Hampshire (7-15, 2-7) and coasted home. This was much easier than Vermonts 64-51 win at New Hampshire on Jan. 2.
Apfeld, whose 16 points included two 3-pointers, helped the Catamounts build a 27-8 lead. He got help from Clancy Rugg, who also hit two treys, and Ethan ODay. They scored 13 and 10 points, respectively. Bryan Voelkel grabbed 14 rebounds.
The Wildcats hurt themselves from 3-point range. They made just 3 of 14 treys, all three from Scott Morris in five attempts. Vermont was 7 of 22 from long range.

Wallabies edge brave Pumas
15 Sep 2012
GARETH DUNCAN watched the Wallabies overcome a 19-6 second-half deficit to beat Argentina 23-19 in the Gold Coast.
Argentina had the better of the hosts for most parts of the match, while Wallabies wasted many of their opportunities and were errant on defence. This saw the South Americans hold a 6-3 half-time lead, before an impressive second-half blitz built a 13-point buffer.
However, the Pumas' fight died down in the final quarter and the Wallabies managed to build vital momentum during the closing stages. Tries from inside centre Pat McCabe and wing Digby Ioane proved to be the telling scores, with the boot of Berrick Barnes and Kurtley Beale sealing victory.
Robbie Deans and his team will be very relieved as they avoided a shock defeat against Argentina, who haven't won on Aussie soil since 1983.
And it looked to be the Pumas' night early on.
Hardly anything went the Wallabies' way in the first half, which included a nightmare start to the game. After flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez kicked an early penalty, Australia lost a man to the sin bin as McCabe was punished for a professional foul after chasing down an Argentine counter-attack.
The Wallabies still created scoring opportunities with a player down, but No 8 Radike Samo and skipper Nathan Sharpe butchered their chances, while Barnes missed his first two shot at goal. It took the hosts 24 minutes before Barnes finally slotted a three-pointer.
Hernandez secured Argentina a slim advantage at the break thanks to his second penalty.
Then came the Pumas blitz.
After Barnes levelled the scores shortly after the second-half restart, replacement flank Toms Leonard charged down flyhalf Quade Cooper's clearance from the resulting kick-off to score the opening try of the game.
This inspired the tourists, who went on to break the Australian defence several times thereafter. And it was a run from speedster Juan Imhoff that created the Pumas' second try.
The reserve wing broke away down the right side of the field, and his offload saw flank Julio Farias Cabello cross the whitewash. Although replays showed Imhoff's foot hit the touchline, the try still stood. Hernandez missed both conversions, but his third penalty gave Argentina a comfortable 19-6 advantage.
The Wallabies then enjoyed an impressive spell of play, which began after McCabe's try. The No 12 powered through after running on to Cooper's pass 5m out from the chalk.
Argentina began losing grip, especially as their forwards tired up front, and it wasn't too long before Ioane dotted down following scrumhalf Nick Phipps' break. Barnes added both conversions before Beale slotted a late penalty.
It was a good comeback win for Australia, but Argentina will be encouraged following three impressive and competitive outings against the top three nations in world rugby. They will definitely be targeting an Aussie scalp at home.

17 Sep 2012, 00:36 amA little late to read this article but I am deeply confused by the statement ….."Argentina had the better of the hosts for most parts of the match,".
Gareth, I have a question. Did you actually watch the match.
The first half stats saw the Wallabies with about 70% of the ball. They bombed 2 tries and were on attack for most of the half.

Cricket v/s Baseball
This might seem like a bit of a biased and illogical arguement but just an observation. I have been playing cricket for all my life now. I learnt how to play baseball a while ago aroun 6 years ago and have watched baseball occassionally. Frankly if any American calls test cricket boring, they have GUTS because baseball is ten times worse (I told you this is a biased opinion). Baseball is just a weird form of cricket and rounders combined. Quite frankly I do not know what the Americans see in baseball. It is too one-dimensional a sport and has absolutely no strategy as compared to cricket. The beauty of cricket lies in the strategy and the battle and face it - no sport can be discussed for so long and in as many details and aspects of it than cricket (As you all know!!)
My point being is it really fair? MLB (Major League Baseball) players get more than 20 times the amount international cricketers get. Cricket is probably twice as popular in terms of fan following yet Baseball & Softball are Olympic sports?? Wherever I go in the world, everyone has heard of baseball but in many countries cricket is unheard of amongst the locals?? Any comments people. |

agreed. but the thing is cricket takes a lot of time. most people don't have time to sit around all day in front of the TV and watch a cricket match. that's probably why cricket is not included in the olympics. Not to mention most countries don't play it.

saying people don't have time to watch cricket, is a fair comment and holds alot of truth in this day and age. the thing that most cricket lovers and i for one don't understand is america also had a period in it's time when there was no t.v. work was 9-5 mon-fri entertainment was nothing more than a board game like monopoly. (early 19th century) why did they turn the game of cricket inside-out and make up a hoach poach game like baseball.
the real reason is america wanted to be differ'nt and unique and anything europe was going to be left in europe, this included sports such as soccer, rugby and cricket. gridiron and baseball were both shaped from rugby and cricket, and it's only in the last 5-8 years has america started to embrace soccer and compete. |

Completely agree, Checkmeout, I saw a game of baseball at school and just thought what the f***. I watched for about half an hour and I didnt see the ball get hit once. The skill level involved in playing cricket is much much highertake pitching in baseball, which is mainly just about how fast you can throw it. As for the fielding, I hate how they rely on their gloves to catch the ball. I always get a kick when my friends are throwing around a baseball and (from a distance away) I ask them to throw it to me. Same response, every time: But you havent got a glove! (a baseball is softer a cricket ball, too)

Here's a nice article that explains America's relationship with cricket, it's a lot more complex than you think, and has a lot to do with that ironically american vice, classism.

No time?? Don't think thats quite apt.. even a Twenty20 game is way more exciting than baseball. But majority of Americans don't even know that a sport called cricket exists.
The skill level required in baseball is absolutely pathetic and I am pretty sure although over a period of long time, if the ICC does not screw up and markets the game properly the USA will become a fairly decent cricketing nation. And also the Olympic Games & the money has got to do with Americas position in the world - they are a superpower and get what they want. And technically baseball is their national sport. For me, Cricket till I die.!! |

Article taken from http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2001/jul/25jog.htm
Very true article What cricket has and baseball doesnt Gaurav Sharma Cricket and baseball have always been considered cousins. However, many feel that baseball is the poorer cousin, and I dare say, they are absolutely right. I know, many MLB fans would beg to differ but if they go through this column without any bias and pre conceived notions, it may just prove to be an eye opener. The relation between cricket and baseball goes back to the 17th century. The English who migrated to the United States brought along the earliest form of cricket called rounders. Baseball Rounders was played in the cricket mould, with a pair of stumps and two bases. The bowler used to bowl under arm and the batsman used cricket bats to protect their stumps. However, with the advent of time, more Americans took to the game and it was changed to suit the increasing participation. This is how Baseball briginated in its earliest form. Of course, since then both baseball and cricket have undergone various changes but where cricket stuck to the old format, baseball molded into a completely different game. Even though, baseball and cricket originated from the same game, I personally feel, cricket has always been the better and richer of the two. I understand that not many would agree with my view point but I have strong arguments to prove my stand. The only way through which we can solve this debate is by comparing both these games. It is but natural that my analysis would be from a cricket fans perspective and I hope you will not mind that. Talking of comparisons, let us begin with the biggest difference that both the games have. I am talking about those 22 yards of clay that cricket has and baseball doesn't. You may argue that what's the big deal about that? The big deal is, that it is these 22 yards or what is commonly called the pitch, which makes cricket the great game that baseball isnt. The pitch adds so many dimensions to the game that a baseball fan cannot even imagine. The pitch can have a huge impact on the way a cricket match progresses. The pitch defines the composition of a side; what the captain opts on winning the toss i.e. whether to bat or field; the kind of strokes that a batsman can play; the way the bowlers have to bowl and quite often the pitch can also have a huge bearing on the outcome of a match. Can baseball boast of anything like that? I dont think so. A cricket pitch is not just a barren piece of land. As a matter of fact, a cricket pitch is affected by various factors. These include the weather conditions, the wear and tear caused by the players' shoe spikes, the amount of grass covering on the pitch and the over head conditions. A pitch having more grass covering offers extra bounce and pace to the quick bowlers, on the contrary, a pitch that is dry and devoid of any grass tends to offer more turn and lower bounce. This helps the spin bowlers. An overcast and humid day would see the ball swinging and seaming off the pitch, in contrast, on a sunny and hot day the ball would not swing or seam off the pitch. All this adds to the challenge and the unpredictability of the game. General view of a cricket stadium The batsman and the bowler must adjust to different conditions in order to perform to their potential. On a green pitch, the bowler has the upperhand whereas on a hard and dry wicket it's the batsman who dominates. This makes for a great contest between the bat and ball and tests the skills and ability of both the batsman and the bowler. Does baseball possess the ability to provide such a contest? The answer is simple, it does not. The absence of these 22 yards makes baseball far too predictable. Since the ball has to be bowled waist high to the batter, it makes the batters task that much simpler. On the other hand in cricket, the batsman has to judge the line and the bounce of the ball correctly and in a fraction of second has to decide the most suitable shot for that particular ball. As for baseball, the batter can just set himself for the shot in advance because he knows that the ball can only be pitched in a very limited area and he doesnt has to worry about the bounce and the line of the ball. The shot which most of the baseball batters play is called a slog in cricketing terms and even the worst of cricket batsmen would fancy himself playing such a shot. This can not be said about the baseball batters. I am sure, that a baseball batter would struggle to even make contact with the ball if he bats on a cricket pitch and against a cricket bowler. Batting in cricket is all about the right footwork, technique and timing which unfortunately is missing in crickets poorer cousin. Try having a taste of some cricketing shots like the straight drive; the cover drive; the cuts and pulls; the big lofted drive etc. I can assure you that it will take your breath away. These shots are stunning examples of timing and power. They are not mere slogs but require tremendous amount of practice and skill. Also, look out for those toe crushing yorkers; the rib-snorting bouncers; the big leg breaks and off-breaks; the out-swingers; the leg-cutter; the flipper and many more. All these alien terms are various kinds of deliveries that a cricket bowler has in his armory. You can realize for yourself as to the skill and the technique that a batsman must possess to face such an onslaught. Can baseball pitchers even think of such variety? You know the answer. Dont you? Unlike cricket, where both batsman and bowlers have a fair chance, baseball doesnt give the batters the opportunity to build an innings. In cricket, the batsman can decide when he wants to take a run whereas in baseball the batters often have to commit hara-kiri, thanks to the ridiculous rule of running as soon as the batter makes contact with the ball. Cricket provides the batsman ample opportunity and time to build a substantial innings. Though, it is not that easy as it requires loads of concentration and stamina. A slight lapse in concentration can lead to the batsmans downfall because in cricket the batsmans first mistake is often his last one. It is not like baseball where the batsman has three opportunities to strike the ball. Cricket is not just about going out and banging the ball for home runs or in relative terms, sixes and fours. In fact, some times the batsman has to curb all his shots and defend for long hours in order to save the game for his side. Many a time, the batsman has to play in extremely difficult conditions that can be highly demanding, physically as well as mentally. This is just not the case in baseball because the batter hardly gets any time to stay in the middle. If you think that baseball players are tougher than their cricket counterparts, then think again. I mean to say that if they are so tough then why do they need those big gloves to take the catches? At the end of the day its no big deal to stop the ball with a thick glove. On the contrary, the cricketers use bare hands to stop the hard leather ball, which can be coming at you like a bullet. If you dont believe me try it yourself and if you are still not satisfied then try the same on a chilly day. I can tell you that once you try this out you would definitely know who is tougher. The fact that baseball, to a great extent is limited only to the United States, is ample indication that it lacks the appeal which is important for a game to gain global acceptance. On the other hand cricket may not be as popular as soccer but it has an international standing and at present apart from the 10 Test-playing nations there are over 120 associate nations that form the ever growing cricket community. The associate members include the United States, The Netherlands, Scotland, Hong Kong, Singapore and many others. This is a clear indication of crickets growth as a truly global sport. Also, it proves that cricket enjoys more popularity over its counterpart. Finally, I would like to say that it is the challenge, the unpredictability factor and the skills in which lies the beauty of the game of cricket. I will finish off by saying that if baseball wants to become as good as cricket it has to borrow some of crickets finer points. However, unless that happens baseball fans will have to be content with only half the fun .If you want the whole of it how about a small doze of cricket? |

I really enjoy playing baseball, but cannot bring myself to watch it. I was a pretty good pitcher in my younger years, and it is an enjoyable part of the game, when you are one-on-one with a batsman, and some of the mind games that are there is quite intriguing, you also have to work well with the catcher. A catcher's role is far too often under-rated.
I was never a good hitter in baseball, because I always tried to play cricket shots, the same happens when I play golf. However, as far as pitching goes, I enjoyed it heaps.

Baseball used to be America's favorite sport along with boxing but now it's behind football, soccer, basketball and a few others. It's really not that popular anymore. I'm not even sure if it's in the top five.
My issues with baseball is that it lacks class, strategy, skill and intelligence. Any moron who can hit the ball hard can do well in it. |

VOTE TIME WILL START TONIGHT (CET) AND WILL END AT 11:59:59 (CET TIME) THIS JULY 31st!
« FHM and Maxim fix their lists... » Of course but Phun Hot 100 isn't fixed... and everyone can vote for the ones they love.
For erotic models, I want you to provide the birth name (no nickname allowed). If you don't, I simply can't accept your votes (others will be accepted but if you can provide the names before the vote time ends, then I'll accept).
In any case you don't know how it works, rules are simple and have been the same all these years.
1. You choose your Top 10.
2. You put them in order of preference.
3. You send me your list by pm!
Your Top 10 can include actresses, singers, glamour models or erotic models… well, it's YOUR top 10! But of course, you can't vote for your girlfriend or the last hottie you've seen in your town or whatever.
It can be your current top 10, a mix of random hotties, whatever. As I said, you pick who you admire, the ones you love! The best would be to take the 10 hotties you've preferred THIS year or since the last Phun Hot 100 (in 2011).
No multiple votes, you can't put any girl down more than once in your list and no doubles, "The Olsens, The Simpson or The Kardashian" doesn't count.
Scores system won't change. The highest girl in your top 10 receives 10 points and your last one gets 1 point. So you will want your favorite babe to be 1st and your least (or 10th best one) at 10th.
Of course, the vote of EACH ONE is PRIVATE and it's the same for the results until their official publication once ready so it won't encourage people to wait and then put a favorite just a little higher so they could get more points. All votes must be sent by pm to my account! I'm not responsible if there's someone who decide to tell about his list to anyone.
You can promote your favorite in your sig but don't abuse it! Remember that you got the respect the sig rules! It would be good if you can link this thread in your sig so it can promote the event and encourage people to vote and participate.
Vote time will open June 20th at 12:00 am (CET Time) and close at midnight EST Wednesday the 31st of July (23 :59 :59 CET to be exact). Any entries before the opening and after this date won't be counted. I think a month is still long enough and for those who're too slow… well, poor you but you won't see your votes being counted! Do not complain if your votes have been accepted!
For any new members who missed the last top 100 and the basic way it goes… or for those who want to see it again... http://forum.phun.org/showthread.php?t=733392
The thread is opened for discussion but no « battles » or conflict will be tolerated here!!! You can do some predictions for fun or promoting your babe with some "humor" and one more thing : RESPECT EVERY MEMBERS CHOICES AND HAVE FUN WHILE VOTING!!!
VOTE TIME WILL START TONIGHT (CET) AND WILL END AT 11:59:59 (CET TIME) THIS JULY 31st!
Thanks to Iron for writing is, i just made some changes

Teething facts
What is teething?Teething is the process by which an infant's teeth erupt, or break through, the gums. Teething is also referred to as "cutting" of the teeth. Teething is medically termed odontiasis. When do babies start teething?
Comment on this
The onset of teething symptoms typically precedes the eruption of a tooth by several days. While a baby's first tooth can present between 4 and 10 months of age, the first tooth usually erupts at approximately 6 months of age. Some dentists have noted a family pattern of "early," "average," or "late" teethers. A relatively rare condition, "natal" teeth, describes the presence of a tooth on the day of birth. The incidence of such an event is one per 2,000-3,000 live births. Usually, this single and often somewhat malformed tooth is a unique event in an otherwise normal child. Rarely, the presence of a natal tooth is just one of several unusual physical findings which make up a syndrome. If the possibility of a syndrome exists, consultation with a pediatric dentist and/or geneticist can be helpful. The natal tooth is often loose and is commonly removed prior to the newborn's hospital discharge to lessen the risk of aspiration into the lungs. Reviewed by William C.

I want to replace my window treatments, which are now just mini blinds. I would like to trash all the blinds. I need something that are easy to clean because I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and recently had back surgery. I don't have much "elbow grease" so light dusting or vacuuming is just about all I can do. I would love any advice you could give me. Thank you all very much.This message has been edited. Last edited by: propertylady57, | |||
I hope you are healing and recovering OK, no joke to have surgery as you mentioned. I hope all went OK and you will be relieved once you recover fully. I am wondering if you could get someone to come in and clean them for you once. Then give you a bit of time to recover more and take your time in choosing something. I hope you did OK with hurricane Sandy and electricity going out in much of the NE. I saw where you (in Maryland) might have gotten some rain and wind. Are the window coverings for: Privacy just to block sun out during certain times of the day, in other words, do you have to manipulate them during the day? Or do you leave them in the position they are in. Mini blinds allow light to come in, but if angled right, no one sees in. They can be left in that 1/2 open position even in the evening. Or they can be put with angle so you see down (as on 2nd floor) and not up to block sun's rays from heating up the room. All window treatments except roll up blinds will have to be dusted and cleaned often because any surface that has a horizontal surface will collect dust.This message has been edited.

I too wish you well. Roman shades or other type of shades...or even light weight washable drapery panels are low maintenance options. | ||||
First, thank you both for the warm wishes. I'm on my 4th week after my back surgery ( my 24th orthopedic surgery). I have 6-8 week where I cannot do anything( except do a little walking), cannot go out of the house or drive. Unfortunately I had to do vigil with my beloved mother at her bedside and then her funeral. I hope my Doctor with excuse all the running around when I was suppose to take it easy. MaryRuth, thank G-o-d we just had a lot of rain and wind from Sandy. Last year we were hit very hard from last years hurricane. People are still cleaning up from that. Thank you both for your suggestions. They are very much appreciated. | ||||
24th orthopedic surgery!!!! I will NEVER complain again about my issues. G*D Bl*ss you! My goodness. I am sorry to hear of your beloved mother passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending a soft hug dear. I am glad you didn't have the added burden of being in Sandy's path. Take care of yourself, and glad you checked here to say hi!

Adding my heartfelt condolences and a wish for blessings coming your way. Take care of self and keep the faith. Hugs, Froo | ||||
So sorry about your Mother passing away and all of your surgeries. Honeycomb blinds are fairly easy to clean. Strings Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys. | ||||
If possible pictures of your windows and the number you have of them will help with advice. Coincidentally I was just this morning thinking about window blinds and how I want to have them in all my windows despite what other covering the windows may have. These can be inexpensive enough that when dirty they can just be replaced.' You have a lot on your plate. We certainly are not all dealt the same hand are we? I wish you very well in your recovery and don't worry about being super clean with your window treatments, whatever you decide on. My sympathies in the loss of your mother. | ||||

Hi Property Lady, Best wishes for a speedy recovery and my sympathy on the passing of your mother's passing. Just a couple of suggestions from my experience with the slatted blinds. They are a pain to keep dust free no matter the tool or dusting spray. Each individual slat needs cleaning on the top and bottom. The vertical strings also get in the way so that mean they can't be cleaned in swipe across the slat either. Figured all this out after installing them across a 15 feet span of windows. I would consider roller shades for something easy to keep dust free. Basically any dust will just drop right to the floor and not collect on them. Perhaps they will need a quick swipe along the top of the mechanism. My office glass door has the solar shade in the Shearweave 5000 BBuckeye/Tweed) and very nice. They offer privacy and block the sun on a west window. The company will also provide samples for you to review the colors before ordering. http://www.solar-screen-shades.com/cloth.htm Good luck on your recovery and let us know if you have any other questions. May you feel better soon. ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
I saw an idea to clean wooden slatted blinds; it sounds time consuming but it also said it lasts awhile. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to shortly. Make a solution of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water. Put a pair of old white socks on your hands and then lightly dip them in the solution and wipe each slat. I wish you well! | ||||
Would horizontal blinds (now ladies, I know some don't like them) work for you? We have them in our family room and there is very little dusting with them. I took off the upper self/valance and a fabric one could be used. They work really well in our room....so easy to open and close and only need a twice a year dusting. love life | ||||

The city's police chief testified Friday that former Sedgwick County sheriff's deputy Brett Seacat admitted he'd "bullied" his wife the night before she was found shot to death in their Kingman home after a fire.
Chief Marc Holloway, called to testify in the fifth day of Seacat's first-degree murder trial, told Kingman County jurors he responded at about 4 a.m. April 30, 2011, to the Seacats' home, which was "fully engulfed" in fire.
Seacat had already called 911 and reported his wife killed herself and set the home on fire.

Prosecutors on Friday charged a Maize High School teacher with a criminal threat involving an assistant principal, and a judge ordered that he not have any contact with school staff and not go on any Maize district property.
Now that school is out, the bond for the defendant, James R. Stiverson, is being reduced from $250,000 to $25,000, Judge Warren Wilbert said during Stiverson's first court appearance Friday afternoon. Wilbert said Stiverson also will be under electronic monitoring if he is released on bond.
The charge, a felony, alleges that on Tuesday, Stiverson "did then and there unlawfully threaten to commit violence, communicated with intent to place another in fear, to-wit: Julie D. Cannizzo, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such fear." Cannizzo is a Maize High assistant principal.
Jurors in the murder trial of Brett Seacat watched a video Thursday of the April 30, 2011, fire that quickly engulfed the upper story of his Kingman home, bursting through the windows on the back of the house before crawling up and over the rooftop.
They also heard two loud popping sounds come from the engulfed home, followed by more popping sounds, and a man could be heard saying "something's going off" and that there were "fireworks in the house."
Shawn Harbert testified he and a friend were walking on Pine Street in Kingman when they smelled smoke and saw the fire. He captured the blaze on video with his cellphone.

I don't think that was any specific bridge. Playing the game at launch, I had that happen more than a few times at random places around old Soleanna (I think they call it Castle Town in-game?) My understanding was, it happened if whoever was following you fell in to the water, died, but you moved out of range just as that happened so they'd respawn nearby, lay down and immediately die.
Whatever caused it, it was absolutely hilarious to witness. Especially when playing as Silver and you could bury the corpse in apples.
I loved killing them off on purpose, especially Amy since she jumped fucking constantly and killed my ears.

I don't know about an actual coup, squire, but something's a-bubble in Iran alright ... and it's been coming a goodly while now. Although, having said that, it'll probably take your actual coup to shift the hardliners. Plus ca change, etc.

Well, while I can't deny your general premise, and though I am not a big newshead myself, I feel like Iran has been pretty much front and center on the BBC segment I saw, and the Lehrer newshour had someone broadcasting with his own mini-camera satellite when official communication was blacked out in Tehran Friday. Locally, there seems to be a good deal of interest. You'll be happy to know that our main buyer asked that we put up an Iran display over the weekend, featuring both fiction and non-fiction, and that people were buying things and taking notes of titles, etc.
I've read both the books you mention, as well as Persepolis II, which is more about the status of being in on again off again exile from your native land, and would second your recommendations. Haven't read Nafisi's newer more autobiographical book, Things I've Been Silent About, but I think I will now. I remember finding their discussion of Lolita fascinating, although I suppose I should admit here that I have yet to read Lolita itself, though I probably own about three copies of it, one way and another.
Satrapi came to the bookstore a few years ago, and it was one of the events I rousted myself to go back to the store and attend. She was great, fierce, but not attacking, eloquent--everything you'd want in a speaker.
Haven't checked the news on this this morning yet. I'll do so now. - June 15, 2009 at 2:46 AM

I'm sorry to hear about the BBC. American media have gradually descended to a point where atual reporting is a luxury they have decided they can no longer afford. Television reports on what you described; newspapers lament their falling readership, and choose to address it by covering exactly what TV does, refusing to acknowledge that television does it better.
My Beloved Spousal Equivalent showed me some photos that got out of Iran this morning, but I reminded her, in news, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words. There's no context to a picture. We don;t know exactly where or why that picture was taken. We don't have a good way of knowing what it means, or what agenda the poster is advancing. Same thing with someone live blogging from on the scene. One describes the smashing of democracy; the next describes the subduing of dangerous radical fringe elements. No one wants to do the hard work of finding truth. They all just want to go on cable news and give their opinions. - June 15, 2009 at 4:34 AM

Well finally BBC World have started covering this. I think they may have been waiting until their best foreign correspondant John Simpson arrived. He's now there which is both good and bad. Good because he's a terrific reporter, bad because if you ask me he's a bit of a jinx, bad things seem to follow that guy everywhere. MSNBC are still showing the toughest prisons crap however.
I saw Satrapi on the same tour at The Tattered Cover in Denver. She was good. - June 15, 2009 at 8:59 AM

Its pretty depressing. I dont really know who to believe but the BBC is finally getting its act together which is a good thing.
I also checked in on Andrew Sullivan's blog and he seems to be gathering a lot of different sources together. Sullivan is convinced the election was stolen. I'm not so sure of that...yet. We need more evidence, because I imagine that outside of Tehran the counry as a whole is still pretty conservative. - June 15, 2009 at 9:01 AM

Slate has a nice, brief analysis right at the top of the page, but on the other hand, the most read articles are by their stats are first, one on whether fish feel pain (I'm concerned, of course), and then, an advice columnist letter from a man whose wife 'is intimidated by how much he pleasures himself' (not concerned at all on this one). And only then the newsround up on Tehran. Which is pretty much what I'd guess about mass readerships, although I would have wagered that number two would beat number one. Compassion stories beating sexual anxiety stories is a surprise. Actually I'm surprised Iran climbed as far up the read list as it did.

An election was stolen by a powerful cabal at the top. Not dissimilar to what happened in the US while you lived here.
Now, to real news, not as important as Miss California or Schapelle Corby or the Madonna on a meat pie, but pretty cool nonetheless.
The old Empire Hotel in San Francisco, where Vertigo was filmed, has been completely remodeled and renamed The Vertigo. The film plays 24 hours from the flatscreens in the lobby, and the spiral staircase is one you can imagine tumbling down.
This, and the new The View at Monument Valley, are my two best recommendations for vacation travel this year.
As if anyone asked.
Oh, and there is a new Lady M installment at my OVOT site.
And with that,
good night. - June 15, 2009 at 11:57 AM

I can tell I need to get on to Andrew Sullivan. I admire your willingness to wait for the careful analysis rather than just leap to a conclusion, but I do think the black out of info to and from Tehran might be a sort of a clue.

Here's a funny thing. I was at a New Year's party at my sister's once a few years back and was put in charge of the ice breaker game where you write the name of a celebrity of some sort and then people have to wear them on their backs until they guess who they are. It's in general a pretty good ice breaker--forces people to ask others questions, etc. Anyway, I thought I was so smart giving our Iranian friend Marjane Satrapi as his mystery name. But as it turned out, he didn't know her. Made him a bit uncomfortable, and made me feel like I was trying to show off esoteric knowledge, instead of trying to make someone feel comfortable, which had really been my aim.
I never saw the movie. I had a feeling it wouldn't be as good for some reason. - June 15, 2009 at 12:10 PM

That sounds great. Next time I'm in SF I'd like to stay there, if its not too expensive and is within walking distance of the GGB. - June 15, 2009 at 12:20 PM

No, the film is quite good. Its just not as good as the book.
I dont know how anyone can be so certain with such scant information. Presumably the cities are a lot more liberal than the conservative countryside...This could be one benign explanation for the surprising results. - June 15, 2009 at 12:22 PM

That's good to know about the movie. I'm sure it brought her more recognition, which is all to the good.
What I keep meaning to say but forgetting is, how cool and yet strange that you were at the last Shah's tomb. It's like hearing the missing end of the story. - June 15, 2009 at 12:47 PM

Actually thats a bit of a funny story. We were in Egypt not long after the Luxor Massacre and the attack on the Cairo Museum bus. There'd also been a few random attacks on tourists in the markets etc. I told Leah that if she ever heard anyone randomnly shouting Allahu Akhbar she was to hit the deck.
So we're in this mosque in Cairo and we hear about the Shah and we baksheesh a mosque official to take us down to the Shah's tomb. We get down to the tomb and as we're standing there the mosque official reaches into his galabea and shouts out "Allahu akbhar!" Leah and I both flinched but the guy was only reaching for a Koran and his shouting was only to demonstrate the acoustics. - June 15, 2009 at 7:51 PM

Yeah, King Rat is excellent. And I'm not surprised Shogun is that long. With the exception of KR, all of his books were extremely long. - June 15, 2009 at 11:31 PM

That is a funny story--now. Although if it had been written in a bad movie, the moment you told her to watch out for that line, the whole audience would have been waiting for it from then on,and it would have seemed pretty predictable. Funny about real life--we don't recognize foreshadowing when we see it.

Ha! Yeah, also it would have been funnier if we really had hit the deck. - June 16, 2009 at 12:20 PM
- seanag said...
I bet your guide would have had a good laugh out of it too.
Well, maybe not. - June 16, 2009 at 12:41 PM

For centuries the Kavussari and the Forsellians have waged war. They have a fragile truce but due to their seething disgust of each other they still pit their warriors against each other in arenas rather than on the fields of war. Those episodes of lethal combat are now broadcast throughout the galaxy, as entertainment... a spectacle known as... The Nexuiz Competition: An arena based first person shooter where you can alter the rules of the match and laws of physics while you dominate opponents in ever-changing hostile environments bleeding with hatred.
