Last days of summer, in coconut and watermelon.
A Sandwich from The Deli in Sandwich, MA.
Fishing in Provincetown, MA.
Wellfleets in Wellfleet, MA.
August Fridge Inspection, Things Worth Mentioning
1st Tier: A single bite remains of headcheese from the Greenpoint Sunday Farmer's Market, sitting next to Bonne Maman's cherry marmalade (they were meant to be together forever). Close by lurks one full jar of grapefruit marmalade with smoked salt (Anarchy in a Jar), the cheapest polish seltzer available, and butter. Duh.
2nd Tier: Three weeks ago we made rosé risotto, stacked some Meathook pork on top, then drizzled the whole thing with buttery plum sauce. Unfortunately, the leftovers languish here next to curdling whole cream, a Minnesota cucumber, half a cabbage, and 9 brown eggs from some very, very caring farm.
3rd Tier: As you can clearly see, this shelf contains only. beer. But some of it's Two Hearted Ale straight from Minnesota. #legit.
There are two sets of fish tacos with guacamole tucked between these queens. <3 Rockaway Taco.
So there's Frank (they do a full menu), and Lil Frankie's (pizza etc.). You should always go to Lil Frankie's, and you should always go on a Thursday or a Friday, and you should always order the burrata. They fly it in fresh on Wednesdays from Puglia. It's the real deal. Pictured here: various pastas and one empty plate where the burrata used to be.
Summer in Minnesota: pick all the vegetables in the garden, pack them in the car, pour a road soda. Stop to pick blueberries and raspberries then shiver through the grocery store while you buy beer and potato chips. At the cabin, go swimming, make a flag cake, and eat chips. No photos survived of the goose dogs, the venison jerky, my family, or the potato cannon.
Summer in Italy: pizza, zucchini flowers, fresh vegetables.
Sometimes all in your mouth at once.
The Neapolitan Kitchen.
Not pictured: homemade limoncello, a collection of cavalli (horses) tucked everywhere, and cupboards full of canned tomato and boxes of pasta. So it's a myth that fresh pasta flows from the tables of every Italian kitchen, but we're over it.

LINCOLN — Alison Zimmer doesn't get much rest these days. Between her fulltime job as a physical therapist, raising her 10-year-old daughter, and competing nationally — and now globally — as an independent professional mountain biker her schedule does not leave much room for downtime.
"I don't ever rest in the sense of real rest, (like) sitting on the couch. But after a big weekend I definitely take two days where I don't go for a run, I don't go for a ride," the 33-year-old Lincoln resident said.
WINDHAM, N.Y. — Lincoln resident Alison Zimmer placed second in the downhill race at the Windham U.S. National Mountain Bike Race here on Sunday, almost certainly qualifying her to try out for the 2013 UCI (International Cycling Union) Mountain Bike World Cup — the most elite series of mountain biking competitions in the world.
Just one day earlier she handily won the Super D race, which includes cross-country and uphill stages but does not have a world cup championship.

LINCOLN — It's past the time of year that most Addison County residents keep their ears peeled for important Town Meeting Day news, but Lincoln residents will return to Burnham Hall in the coming weeks for another round of discussion, debate and voting on municipal matters.
LINCOLN — Burnham Hall in Lincoln will host "The Schlein Family Highfalutin Hootenanny" on Saturday, Feb. 23, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Two of the area's most danceable bands, the Hokum Brothers and BandAnna, will donate their talents for a fabulous dance party. All proceeds from the hootenanny will go to the Schlein family, who recently lost their New Haven home in a fire.
The light on this cloudy November day is silver and stark, giving the world a washed-out look. Just the sort of day Andrew Wyeth would have loved to paint. But then, as I drive south on a dirt road in Lincoln, the light shifts. Sunlight spills through a gap in the clouds and the world transforms from bleak black-and-white to rich color.
Where before I'd been looking at frost-killed fields and the stubs of dead cornstalks, I'm now noticing the orangey light that illuminates the trees lining the road and brings out the greens still in the grass.
MONKTON — Vermont State Police on Wednesday evening announced the arrests of three people in connection with a string of recent home and business burglaries spanning from Salisbury to Burlington.
Among those arrested was Chad Cook, 25, of Monkton, whom police cited for forced residential burglary, possession of stolen property and petit larceny. He was held on $25,000 bail at the Chittenden County Correctional Center.
LINCOLN — The number of Five Town Area elementary schools that can boast of being powered by solar energy has just doubled — to two.
Twelve solar trackers on Kim Smith's property in Lincoln began generating 50 kilowatt hours of electricity last week. The solar panels will generate close to 100 percent of the electricity that the recently renovated Lincoln Community School needs.
LINCOLN — Tory Riley cannot stop smiling.
"I love this," the principal of the Lincoln Community School said last week during a tour of the school. "I flip a switch, and the heating works!"
After six years of planning and $2 million in budgeted renovations, Lincoln Community School has invited the community to come through its newly finished doors this Thursday to celebrate the completion of its historic facility during is annual open house.
When heavy floodwaters came tearing through the mountain village of Lincoln on Sunday, Aug. 28, a group of 20 community members rescued their local elementary school garden — one of Lincoln Community School's central pillars.
Together they harvested the garden, moved the school's shed and salvaged what they could. The following week, a team of second, fifth and sixth-graders began to rebuild the beds and reflect on the recent flooding.

ability for their actions by sharing the responsibility of the decision to keep the filter on while also providing a little leeway as a young person moved into adolescence and began to seek information about sexuality independently, information that might otherwise be screened out by a filter. Youniss emphasized that monitoring is best done by maintaining open communication and a trusting relationship between parent and child so that a parent could discuss online activities with the child and receive honest answers. Through this relationship the child might also be more comfortable coming to the parent after encountering material that concerned them. Youniss felt existing literature was clear that this dialogue was much more beneficial to children's development than for a parent to snoop through Internet log files to secretly see where a young person had gone online.

The price of oil items remains unrevised as the Ministry of Petroleum hasn't issued a notification for a reduction in the petroleum levy.
In numerous cities across Pakistan, oil is still being sold at the March 1 price despite orders from Pm Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to roll back prices to the February 28 levels.
OGRA had withdrawn its March 1 POL price-hikes by publishing a new notification as per which the prices of petrol was cut to Rs103.07/litre from Rs106.60, high speed diesel to Rs109.21 from Rs113.56/litre and kerosene to Rs99.90 from Rs103.69/litre effective March 3.

WBBM Newsradio 780-AM and 105.9-FM will retain Chicago Bears exclusive radio broadcast rights under a new "multi-year" agreement, CBS Radio Chicago and the Bears organization announced Wednesday.
"We are happy to continue our outstanding partnership with WBBM Newsradio 780 and 105.9 FM and excited to create new opportunities with the other stations in the CBS Radio Chicago family," Bears President and CEO Ted Phillips said in a written statement.

The mind of a man is incredible. I mean i just dont understand it really. how coul you be so ignorant to facts of the past when your the one who initiated it. IS that what guys do all the time? Do they get their way and sleep with a woman so causally, that they think they can act like it never happened. I mean whats the point of even trying to get laid in the first place.
This summer is going to one to remember. living at the beach again this sumer and living with maddie is going to be crazy. This time last year i was working at moreys on the 2nd pier didnt have too many friends there yet and met luke. oh jeez he gave me such a hard time i remember now how messed up that was. I also met efe this summer and emir, both great learning experience emir might visit i can hardly wait. i hope this years workers are as great as last year
Its crazy how much you can grow as a human being. This last year has been so eye opening for me. I never imagined I would turn out the way I have thus far. I have grown so much as a person a women, a student a traveler. I have seen a lot and know the kind of woman I want to be. I also have figured out what kind of man I want to be with. I have so many ambitions and places I want to go and see and work that its hard to even attempt to organize it
have people changed since then. i dont know its so hard to tell. is it me? i dont think it is because to me it can be the same maybe i have just been gone for a long time and not used to things. sure a lot has changed but things have stay the same too i hope. this is probably good for everyone just so not used to it. woah 4 months thats a long time. i cant wait to see my mom. now that will be epic

Germans develop submarine-launched UAV
You have to do something special these days to make your flying robot stand out from the swarm - but remorselessly efficient German designers have done just that. They plan to offer small unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) which can be launched and controlled from a submerged submarine. The UAV in question is called VOLANS (coVert …
Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea?
Those greying or thinning up top may remember Richard Wydmark et al in the 'sparks guaranteed to fly from the control panel every episode' futuristic submarine adventure where a cool looking yellow flying mini sub / aircraft would pop out of the mother sub to carry out various missions. Looks like we're on the way to scifi becoming scifact! (Without the rubber monsters and shaky cameras...)
@ Mr. Page
Oh, Lewis... surely "Germans Develop Uboat-launched UAV" would have been more appropriate. :P
Also, VOLANS = coVert OpticaL Airborne reconnaissance Naval adapted System?! Wow... just, wow. It seems that the Germans are as inanely creative (ie, asinine) with their military acronyms as we Americans are. I don't see anything wrong with simply abbreviating it as COARNAS. VOLANS... really?!!
Still, though, in the latest development of the Drone Wars, this isn't a bad idea... especially considering the Arabian/Persian Gulf, the Yellow and East China Seas and the Sea of Japan being crucial areas where this could be used.
Tux, because we need a Tux-shaped UAV... no one would suspect the lovable, huggable penguin being used for espionage. (Yes, I wholly expect flak for even suggesting such an atrocity. :P)
I for one
Welcome our sub-aquatic mighty underlords...
Richard Basehart, not Richard Widmark. Widmark was the captain of the Bedford in "The Bedford Incident" where a nuclear exchange in triggered by accident. Joyful viewing!
'so a sub skipper launching a VOLANS when up against first-division opposition would probably be signing his own death warrant.'
Covert Optical airborNe recoNnaissance Naval adapTed System is what they are.
Got me Souwester
Watch out England! Secret Code Name for these is V4.
Time to get those coast watch squads with binoculars out again. I heard these things also make a buzzing sound too.
Deutsche don' t werden, sie erhalten sogar wütend. Wir vergessen nie.
Not the first German sub-launched drone
The Germans experimented with gyrogliders towed by subs in WW2 to extend the sighting range of U-boats.
This was about the same time as the Royal Navy were experimenting with kite bombs to bring down enemy planes. A ship towed a number of kites, if a plane hit the kite line (actually a steel cable), an explosive charge severed the cable. The drag of the kite would pull the cable up over the plane's wing until the 'payload' impacted with the wing - the payload being a bomb with a contact detonator.
@Daffy The Duck
You are right! Well, with time, human mind scrambles things. Funny thing is, I have no idea where I got the name Richard Widmark from. Worrying! Just reading up on VTTBOTS now on IMDB and Wikipedia. Cannot believe it was made in the 60s! That really was the inspirational decade. What did people smoke back then to keep their minds so creative and fertile...? I wonder... ;-) Paris, because I had a blond moment...
Acronyms and Such
@ Nicholas: "It seems that the Germans are as inanely creative (ie, asinine) with their military acronyms as we Americans are."
Amazingly, there are other languages in the wild (how novel). How about: Verdeckte Optische Luft-Aufklärung Navalisiertes System
Die Übersetzung ist für die Studenten Hausaufgabe.
I'm curious...
If conventional subs aren't that big a threat (as implied in the article) then how could a Chinese diesel powered sub get within firing range of a US carrier during an exercise in 2006?
Incompetence, or maybe a deliberate move to deceive the Chinese as to their capabilities?
Mr. Ettel et al., "volans" is the Latin participle of "volare" and means "flying".
Mr. Phreaky, as an Englishman who is "not forgetting", as that is what I made your attempt at German out to be, you should also rest assured that the Indians and the inhabitants of other former British colonies haven't forgotten either.
I'm surprised...
... No one has yet mentioned Sky-Diver from Gerry Anderson's series UFO ;-)
... Mines the one next to the lady in the Purple Wig!
No creativity with the acronyms
Sounds like a load of Vertical-launch Optical Navalised Aerial Drones to me.
That's VONADs to you! <titter>
No, not just seen one but the seminal 70's Gerry Anderson series with real actors (UFO) also featured a submarine with a well armed front section that was detachable underwater, launched, flew - destroyed the nasty alien in his UFO and returned for the submarine for a nice cup of tea.
1) Those wily Orientals are seriously sneaky bastards, I tell you !!
2) If anyone tells you that they remembered what they smoked in the '60s, they're lying through the wrong end of their alimentary canal !! Been there. Seen it. Smoked it (I think) !!
Mix up
Not the first German sub-launched drone
The Focke Achgelis was a towed 3 rotor heicopter glider and was manned, although it had a parachute strapped on to it so that,when the copter had to be ditched to aviod any attacking escort vessels,the lucky pilot could parachute into the oggin to await later rescue by the parent U-Boat (Yeah,right!) The towed device, if my sources (German based) are correct, was a towed boat look alike with, as you say,a charge attached to surprise and delight the attacker. I suppose it depends on one's definition of a drone, and whether or not it is limited to a flying vehicle, or to any vehicle in whatever medium it moves.
pah! - sounds like a furry animal.
what happened to the good ol' days when german weaponry had tough sounding names like 'panzer', 'messerschmitt', 'stuka' or 'vergeltungswaffe'
@ goggyturk
the Chinese sub sat silent and powered down, waiting for the carrier group to arrive, since to be "Good Neighbors" we are required to announce war games and the areas they'll be played in. All they had to do was get there early, shut off the diesels, sit on the ocean floor and wait to blow the tanks at the last second.
And since the Chinese funded enviro loonies are working to ban active sonar as much as possible, even in deep water, anywhere in the Pacific, there's no way to detect a powered down boat.
Even with active sonar, it'd be tough to find the profile among the debris at the bottom.
With all these handicaps our Navy puts up with in the name of "World Peace" it's surprising they're allowed out into the ocean at all.
Might offend some historically imperialistic nations and make them afraid to do what they've always done until WWII showed them who was boss.
It seems a bit iffy
But I reckon this is enough to justify a patent.
A long time ago they there were proposals for a similar trick to launch short-range SAMs at ASW helicopters--yeah, tell the whoile world you're really there.
Can this give enough useful info to be worth the risk?
How about a capsule shot from a torpedo tube, which floats to the surface and can wait a while before launching the UAV? You still need the communications, but no need for fancy engineering sub.
Sorry, did somebody's patent just die?
Bit pointless then this active sonar ? Doesn't sound much cop at all. Oh well, you pays your money you takes your choice, and that would be buy more choppers, subs are still basically shit.
Where do I get my Chinese dollars ?
<--- Because we're sailing across the the sea, to be with my Uncle Sam.
P.S. Anyone know how those subs we sold the Canadians are getting on. Now that was a strange deal. Oh well, those crazy Canadians, anything rather than buying Yank.
Re: Acronyms and such
Luftaufklärung sind zwei Worte? Man lernt etwas neu jeden tag.
FYI, those Chinese diesel-powered boats are a direct rip-off of the good ol' U-boats and everyone knows how sneaky those bastards were !!
Was that a Team American reference?

Kitchen Before & After: From Dingy White to Warm Wood
Reader Kitchen Remodel
Kitchn readers Jennifer and Sara recently renovated their kitchen, doing most of the work themselves on evenings and weekends. "We were without a functional kitchen for 10 days," Jennifer told us. But the end result was worth it: say goodbye to these dingy countertop and cabinets, and see the new kitchen below!
Such an improvement! The couple developed the design, purchased, assembled, and replaced all the cabinets themselves. In the process they also removed a wall to give them more countertop space, and installed new appliances and that pretty olive backsplash! (Which we especially like.)
They did have to hire an electrician to install new lighting, and a contractor to install the new countertops.
Looks like a lovely place to cook now!
Thanks so much for sharing, Jennifer and Sara!

Before & After

Typically I'm not a wood fan, but this is simply fantastic. The brick backsplash really bring everything together nicely.
Nice, nice, nice! Perhaps anything would seem a vast improvement--I'm not casting stones, I had that same white cabinetry--but what I see is a great re-imagining of the space rather than demo and expand. I think you've made a great case for the New Traditional look in a smaller space; I'm surprised to see how well the darker wood works in this size of a kitchen.
What a beautiful new kitchen! I'd love to hear details about the new countertop and cabinet! That olive backsplash seems bold to me, and it works so well! Kudos.
Great job. I had expensive pros do my kitchen and I was without ANY kitchen for over three weeks. Very impressive.
Is that quartz (counters)?
Great job. Really digging the backsplash.
so happy to see someone getting rid of a white kitchen for wood......
usually its the other way round
Oooh la la!
So beautiful! The olive backsplash was well-chosen.
Does anyone know the manufacturer of the refrigerator?
I think that's a Liebherr fridge. Nice use of color for the walls, backsplash and wood.
Cool wine rack. Nice kitchen. Glorious down-date, of the very best kind.
Yes, the countertops are quartz composite, we went with Caesarstone and they have held up to many parties, our cast iron pans and beer brewing beautifully!
Lovely kitchen. I am white kitchen girl myself but the style of cabinets is so classic you'll be able to enjoy it for a long, long time. I adore your backsplash... Congrats.
The backsplash is divine.
Interesting how replacing white cabinets with wood actually brightens the space! I think the white paint wasn't reflective so light just fell flat instead of bounced around the room like in the "after". Could be better lighting now too. Nothing worse than office-grade flourescents in a kitchen.
Lovely kitchen!
So much IKEA. Would have been nice to see more unique shelves and wine racks sourced from somewhere else, since they went IKEA with the cabinets.
No way is the same kitchen! Bravo, les filles!
The kitchen looks great, very modern and clean. The step stool next to the refrigerator looks like the old kitchen is trying to take over again.
If they had used NEW white cabinets I would have liked it better. I think stained wood cabinets make a kitchen dark.
The olive tile "trim" near the sink is such a nice touch. Great job, hope you enjoy your kitchen for a long time. :)
Gorgeous! Love love love the cabinets (bravo for taking them to the ceiling) and backsplash. I wouldn't have thought to go with white counters, but I love how it works with the tile grout.
Possible to get a ballpark cost, minus new appliances?
I am so happy that they brought the cabinetry to the ceiling. I hate when there's that pretty much unusable space between the ceiling and the cabinets.
I really like the low, minimal backsplash along the wall behind the sink. Taking the tile all the way up the wall there would be oppressive. I don't think I've seen something like that before.
That backsplash is gorgeous.
Very attractive and I, too, love the backsplash material. But, from a practical standpoint, if there's any place in a kitchen the backsplash should be more than a couple of inches high, it's behind the faucet. Especially one with a sprayer!
I really like it. It reminds me of some very chic kitchens I saw growing up in the '70s--the dark wood and olive green, and the lighting in that dark shot.
Question: How did they hang Ikea cupboards up to the ceiling? I'm not a DIYer, but I've been told you put the attachment on the wall and then slide the cupboards onto it, and you need space above to position the cupboards onto the attachments. I have dreadful cupboards that I would like to replace with up-to-the-ceiling ones but my husband says it would require a carpenter, which is beyond our budget.
Very nice!

Life on a farm is challenging in many ways. Racing through one can be tougher. The Patterson Farm Pumpkin Dash will take you through a maze, vineyard, and lots of other farm obstacles. Distance of the run will be about 3.8 miles. Participants will get wet and muddy.
A race for individual participants will start at 9 a.m. and teams will compete at 10 a.m. Individual racers can run again as part of a team. Teams of 2 people, 4 people and coeds mixtures are all eligible. The Little Farm Hands ½-mile run is open to kids 12 and under and will start at 11 a.m. Awards are set for 11:30 a.m.
Top individuals in seven age division will receive awards. All winning team members will get awards. All participants will get long sleeve, commemorative, dri-fit shirts and refreshments. Admission to other Patterson Farm activities after the race is included in the registration fee.
Race Director Michelle Patterson said, "We are excited about the Pumpkin Dash. Everyone had a great time last year. Come out and see if you are tough enough to be a farmer. Then stay around with us and have a great time for the rest of the day. We have lots of fun for the whole family."
Registration will continue all week at Patterson Farm Market and Tours, 10390 Caldwell Road, Mt. Ulla, NC 28125. Online registration is available at www.sportoften.com. A printable race registration brochure is available at www.salisburyrowanrunners.org.
All proceeds go the United Way of Rowan County.

I was reading Dad's Lewiston Sun Journal the other day, in his room at the Togus VA Hospice Unit, when a full page ad grabbed my attention.
Sponsored by individual board members of the Poland Spring Preservation Society, the ad was a very big thank you to Poland Spring Bottling Company for "being a great neighbor."
"The Poland Spring Preservation Society was formed in 1976," noted the ad, "to maintain the Maine State Building and All Soul Chapel. Without the support of Poland Spring Bottling and other generous sponsors, these buildings would not be here today.
"We are very proud of our neighbor for their continued support of us and many other nonprofit organizations, food pantries, environmental organizations, fire departments across the state and so many more have been touched by their community awareness."

More Pep From Manny, Moe & Jack
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For years, the brothers Manny, Moe, and Jack have toiled away as a hybrid failure in the auto sector. The combination of auto replacement parts store and service center hasn't worked in years as auto parts focused firms built store after store closer to the Do-It-Yourselfer [DIY] mechanic. That left Pep Boys - Manny Moe & Jack (NYSE: PBY) with an expensive combination of auto parts and service not in demand by either consumer group.
In the auto replacement parts sector the company now competes against much larger competitors in AutoZone (NYSE: AZO), O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY), and Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) amongst others. These stocks also command higher multiples considering the better margins, but Pep Boys could be turning the corner and similar revenue multiples would send the stock soaring.
PBY Price / Sales Ratio TTM data by YCharts
Recent operations updates
Pep Boys is making a push in the auto service segment and saw a 4.2% increase in comparable service revenue. The merchandise segment saw a 0.1% increase in revenue leading to a total comparable sales increase of only 1.0%. The revenue base leans dramatically towards the merchandise sales so the big jump in service revenue had a limited impact.
Net earnings increased for the first quarter to $3.9 million or $0.07 per share versus $1.1 million last year or $0.02 per share. Analysts forecast a sharp increase in earnings to $0.54 this fiscal year, up from $0.32 in fiscal 2013 ended in January.
The key will be whether the company can garner industry gross profit margins of around 50% compared to the 28% generated by Pep Boys in the latest quarter.
New store format catalyst
The company has opened a new store in the Tampa Bay area that could provide a catalyst for the stock. The store concept is more aesthetic appealing with a more inviting exterior and interior look. The store is also more focused on general car products next to the service lounge that places products that are more appealing to consumers without deep car knowledge. In addition, the store has a speed shop that tailors to the car enthusiast or DIYer. The concept includes the 74th speed shop, which is a store within an existing supercenter focused on high end products. The store as well has an auto parts center in the back of the store.
Part of the margin issue is that Pep Boys currently generates substantially less revenue from each existing parts store. Based on rough calculations, the auto parts generate nearly $1.7 million per store while Pep Boys only reaches $1.3 million. Total store revenue is higher due to the service centers, but the margins are so low on each business line that the company doesn't benefit from the combined offerings.
Competitors maxed out valuations
The traditional auto parts suppliers have done tremendously better than Pep Boys over the last decade. Without the service centers, AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts have been able to grow faster by placing the stores closer to the DIYer. Not to mention some disconnect might exist with the consumer on what Pep Boys actually provides. Is it an auto parts store? Is it a service center?
As mentioned above, all these auto parts suppliers trade at much higher multiples of revenue anywhere from 1 to 2 times revenue on a consistent basis over the last decade. AutoZone and O'Reilly Automotive trade at around 2 times revenue, which is roughly 7 times higher than the Pep Boys multiple. Another sign that the hybrid auto aftermarket solution hasn't worked at driving margins at Pep Boys.
Another interesting point is that all three auto parts chains are considerably larger than Pep Boys. Auto Zone has a revenue base of over $9 billion and a market cap of nearly $15 billion. O'Reilly Automotive has a market cap of $12.3 billion and a revenue base of over $6 billion while even laggard Advance Auto Parts has a market cap of $6 billion with a revenue base of over $6 billion. Pep Boys pales in comparison with a market cap of only $630 million with revenue sliding along at $2.1 billion. The stock could surge 300% to only match the low-end multiple of Advance Auto Parts. Of course, the company needs to vastly improve margins and earnings to see that happen.
Bottom line
While Pep Boys has been an operational disaster over the last decade, the company has the potential catalyst of the new store type and a cheap valuation to propel the stock higher. If the company can turn around operations, it has the ability for substantial gains in order to reach the multiples of other peers in the auto replacement parts sector. Unfortunately, the company has yet to be able to get the hybrid auto service and parts business to work, but the company is showing more pep that investors should watch.
In addition, a stronger Pep Boys could pressure the margins and profits of the auto parts leaders. With all three firms having gross profit margins in the 50% to 52% range, it suggests the market might not presently offer a competitive situation that could be impacted by another strong competitor. The new Pep Boy store concept could be that catalyst so investors in any auto parts stock should keep an eye on the results there.

We have a new cat.
Peepers has small eyes that slant,

Took this stray inside,
Took her inside from the cold.
Nor hesitation,
Made herself at home,
Claimed family membership.
Happy a few days,
Then she grew restless,
Parked herself by the front door.
Something was missing –
The great out-of-doors'
Air of freedom was calling.
Back she went outside.
Peepers is half wild,
As are all kitties half wild.
All need their freedom.
The basic instinct -
Freedom – man and beast alike.
Please don't coop us up.
Gone but a short while,
Our Peepers came back to us
Stayed another while.

Need for man and beast alike.
Then, too, must be love

Assignment of Web Addresses: Virtual Hosts
A virtual host allows a department to have its site physically located on the WPI Web server, but with a URL that makes it appear that the site is on a separate server. The advantage is that a site remains part of the WPI hierarchy while having a shorter, easier to remember address.
An example is the Continuing Education site, which is physically located at www.wpi.edu/Academics/CPE/, but which has the published URL, www.cpe.wpi.edu. Other examples are shown on the URL List
Because of the technical complexities involved in setting up and maintaining a virtual host, this solution is generally reserved for larger departments with a demonstrated marketing presence in other media. Large research groups and recognized student organizations may find this solution attractive, as well. To apply for a virtual host, please use the Virtual Host Request Form.Maintained by email@example.com

Very good, and I will definitely make again. I used 8 oz of button mushrooms and chopped tomatoes, and onion instead of shallots. Used fresh grated Parmesan cheese and added some dried Italian seasoning and a dash or two of hot sauce to the egg mix.

Nicole Scherzinger credits Lewis for recovery
Nicole Scherzinger credits the way boyfriend Lewis Hamilton made her feel ''beautiful'' for helping her beat bulimia.
Lewis Hamilton helped Nicole Scherzinger overcome bulimia.
The 'Boomerang' singer - who battled with an eating disorder during her time in chart-topping girl band, the Pussycat Dolls - has revealed that her Formula 1 race car driver boyfriend's encouragement finally made her feel comfortable in her own skin.
She said: ''He made me feel beautiful for who I am not what pant size I'm wearing, and that helped helped a lot. I started to embrace myself as a woman and my curves.''
The 34-year-old singer opened about her struggle with bulimia, admitting that she felt alone despite having five other girls around her during the 'Don't Cha' band's heyday.
She explained to Top of the Pops magazine: ''I just hated myself. I really was so disgusted with myself and so embarrassed. I felt so alone. I was in a group but I never felt so alone in my life.
''I [made myself sick] every day for years. Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. When I got off stage, I was on this high and then I'd come back to my room and be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction. Hurting myself was my addiction.''

UNDATED (WKZO) -- Saturday was a day to mark the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech in Washington, and different groups marked it in different ways around the country.
They estimate that a couple hundred thousand turned out for a rally near the King memorial on the Washington Mall.
In Kalamazoo, it was a day of service as hundreds of volunteers turned out at the Douglass Community Association to paint, do landscaping and make other repairs and improvements to the facility, which has fallen on tough financial times.
In Grand Rapids, hundreds marched on the offices of Congressman Justin Amash in support of Immigration reform, urging him to back a plan that will create a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, and keep families together.

Green Day to Rock 2012 MTV Video Music Awards
Green Day Unleash New Song 'Kill the DJ'
Green Day, 'Kill the DJ' – Song Review
Green Day have released 'Kill the DJ,' the latest advance offering from their forthcoming '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!,' and '¡Tre!' trilogy of albums, and already they are getting a lot of gruff for possibly ripping off the track, which more than one musical pundit has pointed out has more than a passing resemblance to the 2004 crossover hit 'Take Me Out' by Scottish post-punk outfit Franz Ferdinand (if you don't remember the Franz cut, refresh your memory here).
Green Day Unveil Brand-New Official Band Photo
Green Day have issued a brand-new official band photo (via Twitter) ahead of their forthcoming three-album blitz known as '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!,' and '¡Tre!' trilogy — and it's a pretty sweet shot. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and the boys mug for the cameras with their typical goofy faces in the picture, which we assume is a punk-rock band version of a high school yearbook shot.
Green Day Show Off New Songs During Secret Los Angeles Performance
Green Day Reissuing Entire Studio Catalog in New Box Set
Ahead of their forthcoming barrage of three new albums known as '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tres!,' Green Day will treat their especially dedicated uber-fans with the release of a box set featuring all eight of their previous full-length studio albums. Titled, appropriately, 'The Studio Albums 1990-2009,' the set will be available exclusively through Best Buy retailers on Sept. 4.
Green Day to Release Eight-CD Box Set on September 4
If you're a Green Day fan, then the next several months are going to be good ones for you, as the band is flooding the marketplace with material. Not all of it is new, either. Ahead of the trio's upcoming trilogy -'Green Day ¡Uno!' (Sept. 25), 'Green Day ¡Dos!' (Nov. 13) and 'Green Day ¡Tré!' (Jan. 15)- the band is also planning a career-spanning, eight-CD box set, due Sept. 4.
Green Day Premiere Live Performance Clip of 'Let Yourself Go'
Green Day, 'Let Yourself Go' – New Video
Green Day have released a live video for the tune 'Let Yourself Go' that was recorded on Nov. 17 of last year at a venue called the Red 7 in Austin, Texas. It's a track off the band's upcoming album, '¡Uno!,' which hits stores on Sept. 25 via Reprise and is the first release from a trilogy that includes '¡Dos!' (out Nov. 13) and '¡Tres!' (due Jan. 15).
Green Day's 'Oh, Love' Single Highlights New Walmart EP
Green Day are doing pretty well with their single, 'Oh, Love,' as evidenced by the fact that it became only the third song ever to debut atop the Billboard Rock Songs Chart, but it never hurts to have all the support you can get.
Green Day Made a Whopping $100 Per Show Back in 1992
Green Day are one of the biggest bands in music in general, regardless of genre. They rose from the ranks of Northern California to Warped Tour perennials to eventually having a musical based on one of their albums ('American Idiot'). They are about to release a trilogy of albums in the next few months. But it wasn't always this rosy. Turns out the trio got paid a measly $100 to play Cleveland dive the Euclid Tavern back in 1992, two years before they exploded with 'Dookie.'

3.0 out of 5 stars An average travel guide
Comparing this guide with other guides for Tahiti, it's just great!!.. It's far more accurate then the others, but those others it's often plain bad.
Most guides are correct about weather, currency, number of inhabittants etc. But when it comes to accomendations, guiding companies etc. it's a completely different story.
I went to Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas...

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Tahiti & a recipe for the Cooks,
Ian (Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews
David Stanley's Moon Handbook, Tahiti: Including the Cook Islands, is one of the most depressing books I have read. As a travel writer myself I picked up the book to help prepare for an upcoming trip and this guide is so good, the world certainly doesn't need another one from me. However, having lived in Vanuatu and traveled many times to Fiji, I'm familiar with David's other guides and I anticipated excellence.
It is a comprehensive guide on what to see, where to eat, how to get around and where to stay (for all budgets), which is what you expect from a good guidebook - but it's David's personal stamp that makes it so rewarding. It's informative, honest, and sometimes opinionated with a deep understanding of Polynesian history, culture and lifestyle. There are excellent practical tips on things like health & safety, where to get internet access and even toilets where you should take your own paper - but it's more the personal tips on how to make the transition from 'tourist' to 'traveler' that I appreciated...
"A wise traveler soon graduates from hearing and seeing to listening and observing. Speaking is good for the ego and listening is good for the soul."
This book is a shortcut on the road to becoming a wise traveler. This doesn't mean it is all about getting off the beaten track. Tracks become beaten because there are worthwhile things to experience and they should be taken. David provides the 'must see' highlights as well as information for those willing to explore further. Being a wise traveler is more about attitude than itinerary. As David says, "If things work differently than they do back home, give thanks - that's why you've come. Take an interest in local customs, values, languages, challenges and successes."
Another undercurrent is David's realism and commitment to the environment. He pulls no punches, whether they are aimed at the countries who used this region for nuclear testing (particularly the French) or at those who pillage the Pacific for piscatorial pleasure - "spearfishing (is) like shooting a cow with a handgun."
Allow a few extra dollars in your travel budget for this book and it will be an investment. The reward you will gain from your travels to this wonderful part of the world will be enhanced immeasurably.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential guide to French Polynesia by David Stanley,
Sally Reid (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
As a producer researching filming locations throughout the Pacific Basin, I have found David Stanley's Moon Handbooks guide to Tahiti and the Cook Islands to be of tremendous value. Having travelled extensively throughout the world, I've often had trouble finding guides that are thorough and accurate. In Stanley's book, I've found just that. Rich with historic, cultural and practical information, along with numerous illustrations and maps, Stanley provides his readers with all of the necessary and critical information required in order to get the most out of a travel experience. To anyone planning a trip to this region, I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE handbook to have about Tahiti,
I've learned not to travel without a handbook, and this is THE handbook to have about Tahiti.
All superlative adjectives are deficient in describing this book. It is a bible, a self-contained encyclopedia of information about Tahiti for the visitor to the islands.
This is the fifth edition, and author David Stanley and the Moon Handbooks editors have refined it to perfection, unless a volcano necessitates a new island chapter.
A list of categories of information it provides would be endless. One can only write that it covers every category imaginable, including the basics of transportation, lodging, activities, and personal caretaking. Radio stations, yup. Language glossary, yup. Metric conversion, yup. Comprehensive coverage.
Mere examples of some of the details, each expounded in detail, provided in this book would be email access, ferry schedules, dolphin-watching...and illustrations of the Tahitian dance movements for "perfumed" and the essential "to love." The Tahitian dance movement for "to love" is "here," which is appropriate to such a paradise, although if you travel to Tahiti you may come to apply "to love" to "this handbook."
The typeface is small but readable, which enables such an information-laden volume to be compact and lightweight for your pack or purse. Organization and presentation could not be any better, and I have copyedited more than one hundred books, so my opinion is meaningful.
Searching the Internet for information about Tahiti is both inefficient and deficient, drastically, compared to using this handbook as a guide.
Rob Kay's foreword states that Stanley has been visiting French Polynesia for more than twenty years. The "About the Author" section reveals an important point, that he does his "research" (oh, if all jobs entailed such labor) incognito, not identifying himself as a travel writer--to avoid atypical treatment--when he visits restaurants, hotels and hostels, tour operators, etc. This approach serves his readers--us--rather than serving the vendors and himself. Other travel writers should give up their gimmick of getting special service and strive for such professional honor.
Consider the retail price to be one-third of what you actually pay, because you will use it thrice. Once to plan your trip. Once as a traveling companion which has answers to all the questions that arise during your vacation. Finally, as a guide to your memories when you have returned home and want to regale others or yourself with descriptions of the paradise that is Tahiti.
I'd give this book one hundred stars if I could. It's all you need. Look no further for information about Tahiti.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great information e-book,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moon Tahiti (Moon Handbooks) (Kindle Edition)
This e-book has a lot of local information on Tahiti and all of the islands you would want to visit. It lists hotel, restaurants, excursions with company contact information, local information on what to expect and attractions in each area, etc. Quick to read through. Much better then other available travel books like Lonely Planet.
The only dislike is that it is only available as an e-book. I don't usually carry my iPad around when I am travelling during the day so it will have its limited use. The maps are difficult to read.
It is still worth purchasing to help plan a great trip. I am sure I will find a map once I arrive in Tahiti.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best guidebook for any kind of trip to Eastern Polynesia,
W. Adamse (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
During my two big trips through the South Pacific, I always had one of David Stanley's guidebooks in my backpack. Stanley has been writing guidebooks to these islands for almost 25 years. Like his other Pacific guides, this fifth edition of Tahiti Handbook (which includes the whole of French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Easter Island) is completely packed with information for the traveller.

While planning, Tahiti Handbook will help you find out which islands will be more interesting, easier or cheaper to visit. Stanley gives a good idea of what to expect in the islands, while you can still have a great adventure and discover things on your own.
In the Pacific, this guide will save you money and trouble. Following Stanley's advice to sleep at Tahiti's airport when arriving at night, to wait for the early morning bus instead of taking a taxi to your hotel, will already save you the cost of the book. Accommodations of all categories are described, often including critical commentary. The same applies for restaurants and organized activities. Stanley identifies with any kind of traveller. He answers almost any possible question to arise on other travel matters.
I haven't used this edition of Tahiti Handbook in the field yet, so I can't say much about the accuracy of the travel information inside. However, during my trips through the islands, Stanley's information usually proved reasonably up-to-date. You can never expect everything to be correct, Stanley admits that. For every new edition of his guides, he makes a research trip to check the places listed in his book. On these trips Stanley arrives unannounced and tries to identify himself as little as possible. This way he is better able to experience a place like any other traveller. For this fifth edition of Tahiti Handbook, the Marquesas and Easter Island were visited in addition to more regular places. It would be nice to know what islands were exactly visited. If you feel some information is incorrect or missing from Stanley's guide, you can write him and he will seriously look at your comments.
Lively and critically
The chapters on history, people and places and the references in Tahiti Handbook are an excellent starting point to learn more about Eastern Polynesia. In my opinion, some more attention could have been given to the language section: an extension of the Tahitian and French section and adding Cook Islands Maori, Spanish and Rapanui.
The biggest problem with this book, as with Stanley's other guides to the Pacific, is that you'll want to go to almost every island he so lively introduces. With every new edition, Stanley not only updates travel information, he also perfects his writings. Stanley won't bore you. It's obvious he loves the islands. Still, he does so without writing over-positive about it. Stanley will tell you about the French nuclear testing at Moruroa and Papeete traffic jams. As he puts it on page 3: 'Through this book we've tried to show you the best of the region without ignoring the worst. Paradise it may not be, but it's still a remarkable part of our planet.'
Three in one
Since the previous edition of Tahiti Handbook, the Cook Islands and Easter Island are also included, without making the guide too thick or expensive. The only I only place I miss in Tahiti Handbook is Pitcairn. Since it lies between French Polynesia and Easter Island, you would expect it to be included. It does receive more visitors than islands like Puka Puka or Maiao these days. For information about Pitcairn, you need to get Stanley's South Pacific Handbook.
Maps and photographs
You can find 56 maps in Tahiti Handbook, including ones of more remote islands. Of the main islands; there are detailed maps of towns to show accommodations, restaurants, offices and more. The atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago are a bit underrepresented. But since these are mostly thin necklaces of land, this is not really important. In general the maps in Tahiti Handbook are fine. Only the coloured map and the index map at the beginning of the book could be better: the lagoons of the coral atolls have all been coloured in like land.
There are not many photographs in Tahiti Handbook: two coloured ones at the beginning of the book and a handful of black and white ones throughout the book. Without doubt this helps to keep the price of the book down. Also, you don't really need photographs here: Stanley's writing will bring Polynesia to life for you.
Take it!
Despite some small critical notes, I still give Tahiti Handbook five stars. There is nothing to match this guidebook. Take it when you go to French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and/or Easter Island no matter what your budget or style of travelling is.
3.0 out of 5 stars An average travel guide,
Christian Halle (Oslo Norway) - See all my reviews
Comparing this guide with other guides for Tahiti, it's just great!!.. It's far more accurate then the others, but those others it's often plain bad.
Most guides are correct about weather, currency, number of inhabittants etc. But when it comes to accomendations, guiding companies etc. it's a completely different story.
I went to Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands 3 years ago. I stayed at a pension which Stanely recomended. The pension was a joke and the owner was the sleaziest guy I come across my 5 weeks in the South Pacific.
I asked Stanley after the trip if he had been at the pension which was not the case. This pension is still recommended in the last edition.
Lucky for Stanley that very few tourists travel to Nuku Hiva..
It's just incredibil, that's not possible to trust the correctnes of infor- mation from a guy who has been travelling in the South Pacific for 20-30 years.
I will use Stanley's guide this year too, but only as a basic tool. Getting an honest and accurate answer, I use the web-forums.
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it!,

Every time I plan a visit to Polynesia (4x) or Fiji, the first thing I do is buy the most recent version of David Stanley's Moon Guide because they are the most reliable & comprehensive. David travels incognito & he actually visits the pensions & hotels; unlike other travel writers who rely upon the reviews of others. While Fodor's is aimed at what I would term the 'average American tourist', David's guide includes comprehensive reviews of different classes of lodging, detailed village, island & trail maps that are invaluable to those who like to go off on their own. Since he's a diver, he's assessment of dive shops are invaluable, but most importantly, since he doesn't accept 'freebies' he's not adverse to slamming a resort for bad service or advising you not to eat some place. If all you're looking for is an insular vacation at a 5 star resort with hotel arranged excursions, then just take the advice of your travel agent. But, if you want a truly special, individual experience then Moon Guides' Tahiti is for you. Every book has extensive sections on the history, culture & religion of the islands... with extensive reviews of lodging, excursions & restaurants, so you don't just have to accept the opinion of your travel agent. Many times, travel agents push clients to resorts that pay the biggest commissions, instead of attempting to match the traveler's personality & lifestyle to a hotel that might pay a smaller percentage in commissions. I've found David's Moon Guide to be more reliable than the Lonely Planets books in the categories of hotel reviews, his review are more informative & his maps are far more accurate. If you're buying one guide book this is the one... If you want the best FP vacation possible, then read this book before you call a travel agent...David also advises readers on how to book it yourself or get the best deals.
5.0 out of 5 stars Another fine work from David Stanley,
Kenneth Klein "LordBalfor" (Seattle, WA. USA) - See all my reviews
The 5th edition of David Stanley's "Tahiti" guide is a terrific reference for anyone planning a visit that little corner of the world. Covering not only the languid lagoons of French Polynesia, but also those of the beautiful Cook Islands and the barren windswept hills of Easter Island, the book tells you pretty much everything you need to know when preparing yourself for a trip to paradise. Island by island, David takes you through the sights and attractions each location has to offer. This is followed by a "Practicalities" section devoted to providing you with the things you need to know in order make your dream visit become reality (such as accommodation, dining, transportation and shopping choices as well as the legal requirements needed to secure entry). There is also a great selection of maps so you can get an idea of where the various resorts, restaurants, and attractions sit in relation to one another. Furthermore, there's a fine selection of hints and tips designed to make every aspect of your trip more pleasant and enjoyable. All, in all, this book can pretty much do it all for you.
On a purely personal note, I feel I have to add that the authors love for this part of the world is truly evident. The South Pacific is a fine mistress, and as one who has dallied with her a couple of times myself, I understand fully the intoxication these idyllic islands can leave you with. David is smitten, as were Paul Gauguin, Herman Melville, James Michener, and countless other artists, writers and poets before him. Still, despite the obvious infatuation, David maintains a sense of balance and so you hear the bad with the good, so that you might arrive in paradise prepared for both.
Just from the research I've done for my own little write-ups on Epinions.com, I know just how much work can go into even a small travel article, so I can't even imagine how much effort must have put into a book with this much substance. If you are traveling to (or even thinking of traveling to) any of the areas covered by this book (especially French Polynesia), this book deserves a place in your collection.
5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, thorough book for planning/traveling to SP islands,
Herman Yost (Hinsdale, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Two years ago we went to the South Pacific and covered ten islands, starting in Tahiti and ending in Fiji. In the process, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet David Stanley. As a result, when I learned that he had issued the 5th edition of the Moon Handbook, titled 'Tahiti, Including The Cook Islands,' I was intrigued and wanted to compare my experiences and the places and establishments I was familiar with to those of this handbook. The handbook covers six of the islands I visited, three in the French Polynesia group, and three in the Cook Islands - varying from the largest, Tahiti, to the smallest, Palmerston.
I can only summarize my review by saying that I am amazed at the breadth, depth, and current accuracy of this handbook. I am particularly impressed by the manner in which David collects his data in an incognito fashion. It allows him to be factual and not influenced by preferential treatment. I, myself, can not imagine the amount of work and organization it takes to compile all of the facts and data in the book. I agree that since it is the 5th edition that a lot of the material can be brought forward from one edition to another. But the meticulous effort it takes to keep it current is amazing to me. I went through the six islands we visited and could not find an error in the data or a lack of current status.
I particularly found the history section and the sidebars well worth reading and helpful in understanding the people and their culture. Whether it was the life of Pouvanaa A Oopa in Tahiti, of Hinano Beer, or the use of Monoi Oil on Moorea, it helped to understand the culture. Someone might not care about the Tahitian Dance Movements or the Internet Resources - but the book is replete with interesting sidebars.
All of the usual handbook assets are all there, like the range of hotels and their prices, how to get there, etc. But there are added touches such as a glossary of local terms, a dual names section, suggested reading list, and contact information for information offices.
Do I have any negatives? Only a couple. David does not mention that the Papeete harbor, which is the waterfront for the Sheraton and several upscale resorts is badly polluted. I wondered why the resorts wouldn't ban together to at least hire a couple of guys and a rowboat to pickup the floating debris and plastic bottles. My other negative is the title of the book. I don't know who at Moon picked the title, but Tahiti is far from being the only island in the many beautiful French Polynesian Islands. And the Cook Islands and Easter Island should be equally recognized.
In summary, I found the David Stanley book to be the one and only handbook that I will enjoy using for learning, planning and taking for use on trips to that area of the South Pacific. Would that I could have a small, lightweight, equally great handbook for all of my regions of travel!
5.0 out of 5 stars A travel guide that takes you away to a fun adventure,
M. Cheek (Morgan Hill, CA United States) - See all my reviews
David Stanley's Moon Handbook: Tahiti brings this island region of the South Pacific to life for the adventurous traveler -- or even an armchair traveler like myself. The thorough research and detail of information makes this wonderful book a truly great read. It far surpasses Lonely Planet's guide on Tahiti which skimps on giving color to this tropical Eden.
It's obvious Stanley really knows the region. He gives readers a thorough and clear background on a variety of natural history subjects such as the growth of Pacific coral development and the animals of the Tahiti area such as sharks and jellyfish. We also get a profound examination of the region's human history starting from the prehistoric adventurers who braved the ocean to establish their cultures on the various islands.
Moon Handbook: Tahiti provides travelers with an extensive amount of information to make a trip to these islands memorable. It offers details on shopping tips and transportation resources, advice on how to find the best and most economical accommodations, and suggestions of the best restaurants to try out. The book also is filled with a good number of highly detailed maps that provide readers with a splendid geographic perspective of the Tahiti and Cook island systems.
I read Stanley's book during a rainy week in winter, and it definitely helped me to escape the winter grey of California to soak in the sun of this beautiful paradise on the other side of the world.

It has wonderful chewy, gooey, sticky texture which comes from treating the rice in lihiya, or lye water.
Unfortunately, lye water is not easy to find in the U.S. Although it is not dangerous at this concentration, some people don't like the idea of ingesting a substance which shares the same active ingredient as Drano.
You have probably consumed lye before: it's used to make olives, pretzels, and various Asian noodles, such as ramen and lo mein.
If you don't have, or don't want to use lye, don't worry! You can still make this recipe work.
According to this article, it turns out that baked baking soda will work as a substitute.
Baking the baking soda turns it into sodium carbonate, a stronger alkali, which makes it suitable to use in place of lye water.
I tried it, and it worked perfectly!
This recipe is non-traditional. It is more of a combonation of Suman Sa Lihiya and Suman Sa Gata (Coconut Milk Sticky Rice Cake)
You get the best of both worlds : the chewiness of the treated rice combined with the flavor of coconut milk.
Feeling hungry? Let's make some suman!

Traditional tiles have a square, factory edge, such as with 12-inch square tiles. When installed together, these edges are spaced slightly apart from each other to form grout joints. At termination points, special tiles known as bullnose tiles are created. Bullnose tiles have rounded edges and are used to transition from tile to another surface. Bullnose is also handy for tiling around bathroom windows because you don't need to use any field tile, only the bullnose. The end result is a window wrap that transitions smoothly into the drywall or surrounding wall tile.
Measure the distance from the edge of the window to the vertical face of the wall across the depth of the sill with the tape measure. Mark this measurement on a piece of tile.
Place the tile on the wet saw tray. Line up the mark with the blade. Set the gauge. Turn on the saw and push the tile through.
Check the tile around the perimeter of the sill (bottom, sides and top) to make sure it fits properly all the way around. The rounded bullnose edge should finish flush with the vertical face of the drywall (or wall tile). If this first cut fits all the way around the window, make as many as you need to go the whole way around. Make additional adjustments as necessary.
Use a tape measure to determine the center of the window sill so you have the same-sized cuts at the corners. Mark the center with a pencil. Set your first piece of tile directly centered on top of this mark, or place two pieces on either side, whichever gives you the best-sized cuts at the corners. Do this for the top, bottom and two sides.
Apply mastic adhesive to the backs of the bullnose tiles with the tip of the notched trowel. Set the pieces around the window. Use tile spacers to keep vertical pieces from slipping and give them grout joints. Make additional cuts to fit the corners with the tile wet saw. Let the installation set for 24 hours.
Remove the spacers. Open your container of grout. Apply grout to the tiles with the grout float. Force it into the joints with the float. Let the grout dry until it hardens, usually between 20 and 30 minutes.
Fill a bucket of water to use for cleaning. Wipe the excess grout off with a damp sponge. Smooth the joints down with circular motions and then give a final wash diagonally across the joints.
Remove the grout from around the window edge while still fresh. Use the tip of the pencil to gently scrape it out.
Caulk the joint around the window edge. Squeeze caulk into the joint until it is full. Smooth it down with your finger and wipe the excess off with a damp, clean sponge. Allow a minimum of 72 hours before using the shower.
Things You Will Need
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Bullnose tile
- 1/4-inch notched trowel
- Mastic adhesive
- Premixed grout
- Grout float
- Tile sponge
- Bucket
- Caulking
- Tile wet saw
- Safety glasses
- You must tile or otherwise finish your walls before you tile your windows so that you will get an accurate measurement for cutting your bullnose tiles.
- Wear safety glasses when cutting on a tile saw.

Conrad Murray is a shadow of his former self, looking noticeably older and gray, as he chowed down on his first post-pokey meal -- IN-N-OUT!
Murray looked business casual after wearing standard issue orange for 2 years. He was able to evade cameras as he left jail at 12:01 AM, thanks to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept.
According to his receipt, the whole meal cost him $8.94, including two Double-Doubles, something he probably dreamed about for months.
For comparison's sake, here's Murray's mug shot from 2011, taken moments after he was convicted of manslaughtering Michael Jackson. The good doc looks a good 20 lbs lighter now.
Jail -- better than Jenny Craig.
Come on guys!!! Don't give him press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I knew how to call Dr. Murray, I would buy him IN-N-OUT Burgers for the rest of his life.
Thank you
I wonder what the pedophile Michael Jackson had for lunch today and I wonder what he looks likes after rotting in the ground all this time?
Conrad Murray you just got out of prison. Where are you going?
In n Out
It will never be enough, this disgusting murderer killed a human being because of his serious and terrible negligence and enormous greed, then only thought to hide the proofs that could incriminate him!!!! And never thought he did something wrong and has absolutely NO remorse and NO respect for human life!!!! He deserved the death penalty but will forever be marked as a murderer which he actually is as PROVED in a court of law UNANIMOUSLY CONVICTED by a jury!!!! Thanks to the prosecution who did an excellent job and and now stated that they will monitor him!!! I wouldn't be surprised at all if he himself called the paps to be in the papers and get the attention and sympathy he doesn't deserve at all!!!! This disgusting murderer only deserves to pay for his whole miserable life before rotting in hell where he belongs!!!!
Did they let all of the drug addicts out first before this guy? Addicts should be in rehab instead of prison. Keep the criminals in prison. And find all of the illegals and send them to their countries to either go to prison or whatever. I hear we have a lot of them in our prisons too. Or let the federal government deal with them.
He OLD AS HELL LOL
I think he was azz ugly before MJ even came along. Not sure where his ego comes from, unless his wood is calcified into concrete.
Dead man walking!!!
time served...leave the guy alone.
'KILL Conrad Murray!': MJ Death Doc At Center Of Cyberspace Death Threats
The real question is: were the fries and or burger animal style?
Murray better not be granted another MD license. Whether or not he murdered MJ, he was still guilty of gross negligence and incredible stupidity.
hmmmm wonder what his victim he murdered looks like. who care about this slim ball please tmz stop giving him any time for fame
Michael Jackson killed himself. He was a drug addict who overdosed. This poor Michael Jackson routine needs to stop. The family chose to drag his kids through another trial (and his daughter tried to kill herself) for nothing more than more money in their pockets, the doctor "responsible was already convicted. So hard to feel sorry for them that they have to "re-live the nightmare.

series of ERS-1 SAR (Slant Range Complex) data sets of an area near Bonn, acquired
during early spring 1994 has been analysed using interferometric methods. As

could be expected. Images between 1st and 28th March were considered and totally
9 coherence images from different image-pairs have been generated.
