I'm painting my walls a version of chocolate brown ( I may lighten some). I was thinking these curtains would help break up the darkness w/out being too busy. Based on the color comment I am torn between the sage and mocha, as some people say your not really getting shades of browns w/mocha etc so I'm leaning toward the sage w/ maybe a linen green sheer or does the mocha sound better w/choc brown and a custard (mild yellow) sheer. Lol I originally had the total black out curtains in my cart that were plain chocolate...I'm driven myself crazy....Any thoughts?
Looks great and keeps the cold air out in the winter and heat in the summer. I would buy again...

Nice curtain but has an odd smell
The curtains look really nice but the back of them is a plastic like covering and that smells horrible. It took a couple weeks for that to go away.Read More
Good value
Work well and were good valueRead More
Love these curtains!
Best curtains I've ever owned! Would buy them again in a heartbeat!Read More
Nice curtains and true black outs
Highly recommended for blacking the room out. It's not totally black like night time but a lot better than any store bought items.Read More
Love these curtains. I saw these about 2 months ago, but they did not have the length I wanted in stock. I looked every where and could not find anything similar, then they came back in stock, so I ordered them for my formal dining room, formal living room and study. I ordered the Autumn for the dining room & living room the colors are not as deep as on my computer screen, but they are pretty. The autumn has a khaki/caramel background, burgundy stripe, I would say a light sage stripe with a medium blue border. So the colors in the autumn are burgundy, sage, blue, khaki. I am going to put the Mocha in the study, but I just ordered them. These curtains are very nice and you can not beat the price. They will easily fit a 2-2.5 inch decorative rod. I am going to put sheers under mine. I would not say they are a 100% black out curtain, but they work nicely and the material is soft to the touch. They drape well and should work great at protecting my wood floors and antique furniture from the sun. The back of the curtains have a white lining. I tried to add a few disciptions others had left out.Read More
Beware of TOXIC SMELL from thermal lining
BEWARE of the thermal backed curtains from Overstock. I bought 3 pairs of curtains (1 of each of the 3 available colors). The specific product name is "Thermal Backed Tuscan Blackout Curtain Panel Pair". These emit a TOXIC smell, especially when the sun hits them. Quite disappointing, because these absolutely look beautiful. They gave off a smell coming out of the package. Washing them will make the smell go away temporarily. Unfortunately, once you hang them, as the sun hits the thermal lining during the warmer months, the smell will make you GAG. I bought these curtains last Winter, so it's been cold and the smell was somewhat bearable. Now that Spring is here, it was quite warm today and now all of my bedrooms smell like something a little worse than burnt rubber. I am going to contact Overstock and see if I can return them. Otherwise, over *** worth of curtains are trash.Read More
The curtains are beautiful, but they have a chemical type odor that I can't get rid of. I tried washing them but the smell is ingrained in the thermal lining. I am really disappointed with them and will have to get rid of them because I can't have that odor in the room. The odor really shows up when the sun heats up the curtains. They are also not 63 inches long, but 61 inches long, found that out when I hung them on a double rod over a set of 63 in sheers, and the sheers were longer. Took the curtains down and measured them and found them to be shorter than they are supposed to be. They also do not block out 99% of light, it is more like 60%.Read More
Tuscan Thermal Backed Curtains are a good buy
I was surprised at how nice the curtains are. I had also bought a pair of thermal backed/black out curtains at xxxxx because they were so inexpensive. But they are very stiff. The fabric of these Tuscan curtain is softer so they drape more easily. They are very pretty and I've put one pair in my guest room and am using another pair in the master bedroom. They do keep out the drafts at night and the room is warmer. But - they are definitely NOT black out curtains if that's what you're looking for. Personally, I like the way they filter out the light enough for sleeping and allowing some light to come into the room, showing off the curtain's design.Read More
I hesitated buying these since other reviewers talked about an 'odor'. I finally ordered the sage green. When they arrived, I immediately put them in the washer on the gentle cycle for a 'rinse and spin'. Dried and hung right after that. No odor, no creases. Up close, they're gorgeous. Beautiful golds and greens. Nice sheen, but not sparkly. Though not a true blackout, they do a good job with my room darkening blinds. I'm sorry I hesitated - these are a great deal.Read More

Hello Chetan B., we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
Already have four other windows with these curtains and decided to get matching ones for the patio door. They are four inches too long, but I can hem them.

Curtains are very good quality and this is the 3rd pair I have purchased.
Good price
I do not see where I can find the size of the pocket. How do you know what size rod to buy that will fit inside the pocket?
Hello SandiC, the pocket size is two inches. Thanks for shopping with us!
Is there any other items to match. Maby bed spreads.
Hello bedfordkenneth, we have a large variety of bed spreads available for purchase on our site. Thank you for shopping with us!
I've never bought curtains before so I don't know the terminology, but I was wondering how these curtains open and close. Do they just pull to open or close, or is there a pull-cord, like more formal curtains have? I love these curtains but I just want the simple pull to open style.
These are not pull to open, you would have to buy clip on rings to accomplish what it seems you want them to do. They come with tiebacks for which you would need to mount side hooks. There are some lovely drapes/curtains on Overstock that have tabs or rings which do slide beautifully. Hope this helps.
I have a 96 inch wide picture window, how many panels would i need to make these hang nicely with the pleats not a stretched look...
I have these on the same size window. For perfect fit, you will need six panels. Can make do with four, but six is more attractive.
Do these curtains have the same pattern on both he front and back? Or does the back have a liner that's solid black or white like some other blackout curtains do?
No... this curtain has pattern only on the front and white on the back. It does some blackout but not completly blackout.
pattern on one side only.
pattern on one side, but with light behind it you can barely see the pattern on the darker autumn colour
I bought the teal and it looks nice from both sides even though the full pattern is only on one side.
I can't find these Tuscan curtains in the longer length like 96" L? Thank you,
Hello vandygirlD, we do not currently have these in a 96 inch length. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
Hi, please kindly confirm that a set consists of TWO panels, 52 inches each. Therefore, the set is 104 inches wide.
Hello Xena, each panel is 52 inches wide. This comes with two panels for a total of 104 inches wide. Thank you for shopping with us! A.C.
Before I ship, can you please confirm this product is compatible with Item #: 13206781 and Item #: 15453810. Thank you
Hello uvocobou, I have confirmed that the panel pair will be compatible with the Item #: 13206781 and Item #: 15453810. Thank you for shopping with us! Terri D.
My windows are 58 inches wide. I am confused as to the width of the panels. The answers I have read confuse me even more. How many pairs will I need to cover the 58 inches wide window?
Just one pair.
Hello walt2ruth, you will need to purchase two pairs to cover your entire window. Thank you for shopping with us. Vicki H
I just measured them.. Each panel is 51 inches.. SO total 102 inches together.. You only need one set. I used this set over an 82 inch glass door.. they completely cover it with extra. You will only need one set.
I ordered "pair". The package said "pair", but there was only 1 panel. What did I miss????
What is the width of each panel?
Hello herself63, each panel is 52 inches wide. Thank you for shopping with us.
51 inches each.. 102 total
How large is the rod pocket, and what should the diameter of the rod be? Many Thanks
Hello nocolor7, It can be hung on rods up to 1.5 inches in diameter.Thank you for shopping with us!
Will these work with curtian rings
No. They are made for curtain rods.
Sure..use clip on rings for faster open and close.
They are made for rods but could use clip on style.
No,curtain Rods Only
I have noticed in the reviews that an unexpected blue stripe is in some of the color options. I have ordered the sage through Sears and do not want any blue in my curtains and am now concerned, What color scheme is the sage? Your description only says sage and a ivory or tan color? Thank you,
The sage curtains are a rich gold background with sage,tan,gold,olive and celery in the pattern. I suppose if you used them in a room that had blue decore the celery to take on a bluish tone. However there diffinitely is not a true blue stripe in this drapery.
no blue. there is a light aqua stripe in the beige but not the sage.
I love the thin blue line, you can't see it unless you look for it. I added blue place mats to bring out the blue.
Is the lining and curtain stiff enough to support the curtains for a traverse rod?
I sorry I don't know what a traverse rod is but I have these rods that are split in the middle so that I can open the rods to use our patio door.
Do these have the ThermaTec lining? I have another set of curtains that have that lining that is currently out of stock and love them.
Hello ncredbird, these do have thermal lining, although they do not go by that specific brand name. I hope that helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are these curtains available with length of 72 inches?
Hello gan82, These curtains are beautiful! Unfortunately, these aren't currently available in a 72-inch length. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.

Ipoh, Malaysia - Indulgence: Best Afternoon Tea Spot
Indulgence is, IMO, the BEST spot for English-style afternoon tea in Ipoh. Its setting - in a former British colonial Mock-Tudor bungalow amidst expansive lawns - certainly sets it apart from other Ipoh eateries.
Owner-chef, Julie Song's repertoire of cakes and pastries is peerless in Ipoh. I liked her scones a lot. Her tangy homemade jam was a bit too liquid for my taste, and I wished it was clotted cream instead of simply whipped cream.
The tiramisu lacked the touch of alcohol, but I guess they are maintaining a "halal", Muslim-friendly menu.
The creamy persimmon-meringue cake, with shards of chocolate, was tasty - almost like an Aussie pavlova. Love it.
The chicken sausage in puff pastry was THE best I'd had anywhere in Malaysia. Not to be missed!
Macaroons were perfect - crisp, fragile, with creamy filling.
I need to come back for dinner sometime - the menu looked fabulous.
Address details
Indulgence Restaurant
14 Jalan Raja Di Hilir
30350 Ipoh
Tel: +605 255 7051
I went there a couple of years back. Ordered three cakes for afternoon tea and they were disappointing without exception.
Your tiramisu looks mighty familiar; I disliked it not because of the lack of alcohol but because the chocolate over the top was dried out and tired (like when you leave it uncovered in a cold fridge for a long time). The whole thing was about as interesting as a tea towel, and service was as bad as we have come to expect in Malaysia, sad to say.
Maybe things have changed, but with the limited amount of time I spend in Ipoh each year, is a return visit worth the flutter?
re: Julian Teoh
Definitely worth a return visit as things would certainly have improved from when you were there two years ago (I'd read some negative reports at that time, too) - the food this time was fresh and quite exceptional, better than some top-tier KL spots of the same standing, and the service was flawless. We enjoyed the scones very much, and Julie Song's "homemade" strawberry jam was enjoyable, even if a bit tart and liquidy.
As it was also the Christmas-New Year festive period, turnover was quite fast, so the cakes we had were freshly-baked/prepared.
BTW, Julie Song also opened "Burps & Giggles", a trendy cafe-bar at the Sekeping Kong Heng developnment in the Old Town. I found Sekeping Kong Heng's approach of blending ultra-Zen modern boutique hotel facilities into existing century-old shophouse buildings extremely exciting. Imagine an art gallery, a cafe & a bookstore/library under 100-year-old fig trees, surrounded by moss-covered bare walls and exposed timber frames, and a deluxe hotel sitting right atop Kong Heng and Thean Chun coffeeshops, where Hainanese 'ah-kohs' are still churning out their staples like Ipoh "kai see hor fun", pork satays, popiahs and creme caramel, like they'd done for decades.
Some pics to share of Sekeping Kong Heng (which we visited right after we heard about it from the Indulgence folks) which promises to be the hottest spot in Ipoh in due course, if managed properly.

Evans leads way for ETSU women at Rebel Intercollegiate
Sunday, April 03, 2011
OXFORD, Miss. (April 2, 2011) - Freshman Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) posted a team-best score of even par 72, leading the way for the ETSU women's golf team during Saturday's second round action in the Rebel Intercollegiate at the Ole Miss Golf Course.
Evans' effort helped her move into a tie for 23rd on the individual leaderboard, which is the best showing by an ETSU player so far in the event. As a team, however, the Buccaneers have struggled and are currently 14th on the team leaderboard.
Tennessee's Nathalie Mansson currently leads the event at 5-under-par 139 (72-67), holding a one stroke lead over her teammate Erica Popson. The Volunteers were also not in a mood to share any space atop the team leaderboard, posting a score that was 14 strokes better than any other team and building a 24-stroke edge over second place Tulsa heading into Sunday's third and final round.
Along with Evans, ETSU senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) is currently tied for 36th and junior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) is currently 54th.
The Bucs will wrap up play with third round action Sunday. Live scoring and results can be found at GolfStat.com, and ETSUBucs.com will have a complete recap at the end of each day's play.

UGA's Amazing Students
Joseph Arnold
June 29, 2014
Joseph Arnold, a senior earning degrees in marketing and public relations, has had his hand in several campus activities and has gained the knowledge and experience necessary to succeed in his professional life.
Degree objective:
B.B.A. in marketing, A.B.J. in public relations
University highlights, achievements and awards:
I've been incredibly active and involved over my four years at UGA. I've held the role of fundraising co-chair for Georgia Daze, a student organization dedicated to improving the number of minority students at the university and improving their experience. I served as a student government senator for the Terry College of Business where I had chances to talk with students and meet with faculty and the college dean to talk about ways the college could better service students. I ran, unsuccessfully, for executive treasurer in SGA and had the time of my life while doing so. I served on the Student Alumni Council, the governing board of the Student Alumni Association, where we help further university tradition and spirit and raise money for the Georgia Fund. I was a Grady College ambassador where I represented the college and its students to distinguished alumni and individuals. And I led UGA's chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators as its president, which opened numerous doors of opportunity.
Although I'm probably most proud of my accomplishments outside of the classroom, I maintained the HOPE Scholarship throughout my time at the university and was awarded the Zell Miller Scholarship during my last two years of eligibility.
Roswell, Ga.
High School:
Greater Atlanta Christian
Family Ties to UGA:
I'm the first in my family to attend UGA. Now, I'm proud to say that my sister, Brittany, is a junior on campus and my brother, Jordan, is an incoming freshman at UGA.
I chose to attend UGA because...
… of its size and reputation. Because UGA is Georgia's flagship institution, there are so many opportunities to find a niche, pursue passions and meet new people along the way. There is an endless number of societies, clubs and organizations. I'm constantly telling friends that I wish I had two more years so I could get even more involved.
My favorite things to do on campus are...
… go to one of the many shows on campus. Whether it's an ImprovAthens show, a concert in Tate Grand Hall, a play in the Fine Arts Building or a movie in Tate Theatre, there is always some form of entertainment going on around campus.
When I have free time, I like...
… reading outdoors in the sunshine. The North Campus lawn, the Botanical Garden and my own back porch are some of my favorite places to get away from the day-to-day grind and enjoy a book or magazine.
The craziest thing I've done is...
… travel to Europe for a month. This year, I took a 27-day trip throughout Europe, covering eight cities. It was a whirlwind adventure where I was on the move to a new city every couple of days, but the sights I've seen, people I've met and cultures I experienced have shaped my perspective on the world. I would highly recommend international travel to any student. Go with friends, with family or by yourself—just go!
My favorite place to study is...
… the fourth floor of the journalism building. It's one of those places unique to Grady students where I can comfortably get work done or chat for a few minutes with friends and classmates.
My favorite professor is...
… Jen Osbon. She's only been a professor for about a year and a half, but professor Osbon's personality, insight and current status as an agency owner position her to offer valuable wisdom and real-world, pragmatic instruction.
Additionally, although she's not an instructor, my public relations academic adviser Victoria Cooper has played a huge role in shaping my university experience. She has always encouraged me to develop my own leadership skills to bring out the best in others.
If I could share an afternoon with anyone, I would love to share it with...
… my siblings and cousins. Now that we're all older, we don't have as many opportunities to see each other, yet it's always a great time when we do.
If I knew I could not fail, I would...
… make a motion picture. In high school, I always wanted to become a film director. Although my ambitions have changed course, I still love making movies.
If money was not a consideration, I would love to...
… travel for an extended period of time—perhaps a year or more. South America and eastern Asia are my next two destinations. There's something about being a stranger in a new place that enables you to learn so much about yourself.
After graduation, I plan to...
… pursue a job in digital marketing and strategy with an agency or small company. I've been fortunate enough to have held four internships over the past two years and I've found my passion in marketing, where I hope to help organizations make powerful brand connections with consumers.
The one UGA experience I will always remember will be...
… being president of UGA's chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators during my senior year. We were a small, rebuilding group after a few difficult years. Our goal was to help inspire students, on a personal level, to pursue passions in communications and equip them with practical tools and skills. The opportunity to see our organization's students gain professional confidence and snag internships was incredible.

Technobots do not get to see your payment card details or are they stored on our servers - we are PCI compliant to the latest standards. As we are an internet based company, we prefer not to take orders by telephone, you can read more on this and about placing an order on our 'Contact us' page. No credit terms are available (except to valid education accounts on a strictly 30 day payment by prior agreement). Please note a £20.00 minimum order value applies to all educational credit accounts.
We will automatically Email you to confirm that your order has been received, it does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you a notification of dispatch. We have included this term to protect us in the unlikely case that a mistake has been made in pricing or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for reasons generally outside of our control. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Shipping And Handling
Please see Shipping Costs for full delivery options & pricing. We send a notification of shipping via Email, any claim for non-arrival of goods must be advised (ideally by Email) within 30 days for letter post / airmail and within 4 days for carrier. The 4 days for the carrier option is imposed on us by the carrier to allow them time to investigate before the 'trail goes cold'.
Deliveries that require a signature cannot be left without a signature. We are unable to give Royal Mail specific instructions such as "can you get the postman to phone me in case I do not hear the door bell".
1st Class - Please note that 1st class letter post cannot be tracked unless you select the 'Recorded' option and as per Royal Mail guidelines is not considered missing until 15 working days after the expected delivery date have passed. In order to pursue a claim against Royal Mail for missing parcels, we may request a signed 'Missing Parcel in Transit' declaration that the goods have not been received is retuned to Technobots before we process any refund / replacement.
Airmail - Please note that Airmail letter post cannot be tracked unless the 'Tracked' option is selected. All Airmail is not considered missing until 42 working days have passed following dispatch. Typical delivery time for Airmail is 3-28 days depending on the destination country. Our experience shows that The Netherlands, Italy and the USA have the longest postal times. In order to pursue a claim against Royal Mail for missing parcels, we may request a signed 'Missing Parcel in Transit' declaration that the goods have not been received is retuned to Technobots before we process any refund / replacement.
Carrier / FedEx - All carrier deliveries are tracked and recommended for items of value and are sent on a priority service but delivery time is not guaranteed.
If a delivery cannot be made due to the customer not being in may result in the delivery being re-attempted, held at the carriers / Post Office local depot or left with a neighbour (primarily UK post only). A card should be left at the premises advising this has occured. It is the customers responsibility to re-arrange / collect the delivery, failure to do so may result in the goods being returned to Technobots. Any goods returned to Technobots due to a failed delivery will incur an additional carriage cost to send out again which will be advised prior to sending. Additionally, goods returned using our carrier option will incur a surcharge of a minimum of £18.41 for UK Zone 1 and more for other zones / countries. This is a charge made by the carrier and is outside of Technobots control. This does not apply where the carrier is Royal Mail. Returned goods not claimed within 14 days will be credited back to the customer less any carrier / re-stocking costs.
Delivery Schedule
We aim to dispatch orders placed online by 12 noon UK time same day subject to stock availability but during busy periods, dispatch may be the following working day. Orders containing Out of Stock / Special Order items may take longer to dispatch and may hold up your entire order although we may split your order at our discretion. It is recommended that if your order contains Out of Stock / Special Order items that two orders are placed to allow the dispatch of stock items. Out of Stock / Special Order Items generally have some indication as to the expected lead time which is updated daily (excluding weekends). As we are primarily an internet based company, we do not to take telephone orders although you can visit in person at our counter in Totton, Hampshire.

Out of stock items are automatically put on back order but you can cancel a back order at any time for a full refund of the outstanding items.
We do not charge any extra carriage for sending out back orders but the carriage method is at Technobot's discretion.

Prepare. Plan. Stay Informed.
RCN is prepared for the storm. When major weather events threaten our area, we take extra measures to deploy a variety of technical resources: generators, fuel, fiber-optic cable and specialized tools to strategic locations near the potential path of the storm, so we can respond immediately to any damage.
NO - your home TV, High Speed Internet and Voice services depend on electrical power.
NO - we are already aware of and working to repair network outages.
YES - restoring the damage to your cable may require additional technical support. Contact Us
YES - to restore your service the service drop must be repaired. Contact Us
Q: I have TV service but it goes in and out and the picture quality is not as good as usual.
A: Temporary fluctuations in your cable service may occur throughout the restoration period. You may experience brief losses of your cable services or degradation of picture quality as the power continues to be restored throughout the area.
Q: I do not currently have electrical power or TV, Internet or Voice services. Should I call to arrange for a service call?
A: If you DO NOT have electrical power restored to your home, you will not have cable services. You should not call for a service call until your electrical power at your home has been restored.
Q: Why did I lose my TV, Internet and Voice services and still have power?
A: While RCN's facilities are generally located on the same poles as electric companies, the utilities are often fed from a different power source than the cable. There are different "distribution" points along the way. If one of these distribution points does not have commercial power, your cable will not work.
Q: My neighbor has TV, Internet and Voice services but I do not.
A: If you have electrical power at your home, but no TV, Internet or Voice service, please Contact Us. If you DO NOT have commercial power restored you will not have cable services.
Before the Storm
Be prepared and have an emergency plan in place. If you don't have a plan and need help making one, visit http://www.ready.gov
Keep your RCN account information and our contact phone numbers handy. See Contact Us for more information.
Stay informed by listening to radio and TV bulletins and by reading our website updates.
Report any low-hanging cable lines before a storm.

I know the naysayers will advise me to keep away from this:
I have the structural welding ability, just lack some engineering knowledge. A buddy has an existing set of steel stairs (lying on the ground) they are well made industrial type stairs with a diamond plate tread. 7.25" rise with approximate run of 9". He wants (me) to install them around the back of his house, wrapping a platform and 5 new steps around a corner of his home. The kicker is that the platform and ensuing walkway will need to be cantilievered to avoid inhibiting access to the garage. I 've looked at some Residential Steel beam and Column Load Tables http://www.toolbase.org/PDF/DesignGu...SpanTables.pdf but they might as well be in Arabic for what I can get out of them
Here's some rough sketches of the project. Anybody out there willing to help me size a few columns and beams?

More stuff than I can keep track of..
The easiest way would be to stick with the 10" channel, However you diddnt mention what size your channel is If its 10" junioe at 8.4 Lb it would propbably be to light.
If its 10" at 15.3 your set, 2 of them running parallel 3' apart.
Whats the surface going to be! A pan with concrete or wood. eather wat you should be fine.
Column size 3x3x3/16" or 4x4x1/8".
I would be concerned about the size of wood lamb.
I dont like the fact that you only have a 9" tread however.
The way you tie the channel together at the joints will be of concern, you will want your flanges to run continuous even if it means welding a stiffener from one flange to another.
The More I Think About It...
I think I will advise him to have a professional engineer the structure, then I will be happy to weld it! It seems the outer columns will have to support both the weight of the walkway and the steps and that the inner columns would be approximately weight neutral, with the cantiliver wanting to lift that portion of the structure.
BTW: The run on the existing stairway is 9" but the treads are 12" long, extending beyond the tread on the next riser.Miller Syncrowave 200

During a live look-in during this morning's Dan Patrick Show, guest Peter King dropped an F-bomb. We are, frankly, shocked. We had no idea Peter even knew that sort of language.
Thankfully, Peter quickly took to Twitter to apologize.
My apologies for cursing during the @dpshow commercial break. Thought we were in a commercial break.
— Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) December 2, 2013
More importantly, who were they talking about? Some coach, seemingly, but it's impossible to tell from this clip. Can anyone who was watching or listening to the show put it in context?

Unfortunately, there was a snafu with my Kindle Direct Publishing account, and my special sale was cut short today. I hope to have it up again, but here's what I take away from the experience:
When I decided to independently publish my novel, I went with Smashwords first because they have a wide distribution, not just on their own website but also with other major retailers—iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, etc….They don't have a deal with Amazon, so I put up my book there later, unaware that Amazon had this KDP Direct program. What is it? Basically, if you publish your ebook exclusively with Amazon, you can do a couple of promos. One is a free giveaway of your book, run for up to 5 days. The other is discounting your book, again for 5 days. You also apparently get a slice of some profit-sharing that I only vaguely understand because I find such things tedious, even though they're important.
I hesitated to take my book off Smashwords. They are great to indie authors, and they don't ask for exclusivity. But sales had become non-existent, and I wanted to get some traction and exposure, that would be simple to run and not too time consuming. I took the book down and signed up for KDP Select. That was a mistake. I should have waited a couple of weeks because it takes a while for all of Smashwords' partners to take down your book from their websites. KDP immediately sent me a warning. They have creepy crawlers out there, just looking for you to mess up.
When I was sure that I was in the clear, I went ahead and put the book up for free in March. It was great! Tons of downloads. Then, yesterday, because KDP has some kind of time constraint on when you can offer the Kindle Countdown Deal (the discount), I put the ebook up for 99 cents. Yay!
This afternoon, I got another robot-like email from KDP that "our records indicate that we previously informed you that submitting non-exclusive content to KDP Select is not acceptable and may result in loss of KDP Select benefits" and "as a result of repeat violations of the KDP Select exclusivity requirement, we have removed all of your books from the KDP Select program. Your titles remain available in the Kindle Store."
WTF!?! (Deep, calming breaths. But why is it suddenly so hot in my brain???)
They sent a link (so helpful!) to the offending site, and sure enough, there's my book on a French site—FNAC, actually, where I used to go shopping when I lived in Paris 20 years ago. How do I like them pommes? Not very much.
I contacted Smashwords about this, and got an immediate (human!) email response. They are going to work on getting this down, and they didn't even call me a traitor for leaving them. Sniff, sniff!
Back on Amazon, my discount promo was taken down within an hour.
So, word to the wise, if you want to play with KDP, go ahead, but take advantage of KDP Select before you upload to Smashwords. Your iTunes, B&N, etc. friends will grumble, but it will definitely save your grief and time.

March 6, 2012: A Day That Will Live In Wisconsin Political Infamy
I sincerely hope that the silent majority of Wisconsin residents see what's going on - and are outraged. You know, mad as hell and not willing to take it any more!
First, you have 16 Democrats in the State Senate who join with one RINO and kill common-sense legislation which would have led to a $1.5 billion iron ore mine in Northern Wisconsin. The mine would have directly employed 700 workers and indirectly created thousands of more jobs - pumping tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars into one of the most economically distressed areas of the State.
As of result of the irresponsible actions of the "Sad Seventeen", the mining firm that was planning to make an investment in the State has now pulled out! Thank you Tim Carpenter, Lena Taylor, Spencer Coggs, Chris Larson, Jim Holperin, Tim Cullen, Mark Miller, Jessica King, Robert Wirch, Julie Lassa, Robert Jauch, Fred Risser, Jon Erpenbach, DaGve Hansen, Kathleen Vinehout - and of course, Dale Schultz.
If that wasn't enough, an anti-Governor Walker Dane County Circuit Judge issued an injunction barring implementation of the new Voter ID law. In the big picture, I have little doubt that the result-oriented ruling of Circuit Judge David Flanagan will be overturned once the matter gets to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Still, for the moment, the Flanagan ruling has injected even more chaos into the already troubled Wisconsin electoral system.
Again, Dane County liberals find themselves being the tail that wags the dog that is the State of Wisconsin!
So, here's the question. Will the silent majority of Wisconsin residents finally stand up and say "enough is enough"? Are citizens tired of having their State turned into a banana republic?
The upcoming recall elections should give us our first indication!
For now though, March 6, 2012 stands as a day that will live in Wisconsin political infamy!

Sample VT Ski Areas Association web page with listings of free ski lesson availabilities.
You can't beat the price: Learn to ski or ride free at
some resorts that are offering a day of free equipment and lessons this week.
You should act right away because openings are limited. The Vermont Ski Areas Association has a special free lessons page on their website that lists. Use the drop down menu to choose a day of the week and the website will return a table of resorts and number of openings at each. I don't know how well they are keeping this information current (it's up to the resorts no doubt) so get in touch soon with the ones that look most likely.
As I was searching through the dates and resorts list yesterday, it looked like Wednesday and beyond are the best bets.

|Ski/Snowboard Lessons Just for Women

Sometimes you just need to get away for a little while. Men need to get away from women, women need to get away from men, and both need a break from the kids.
For women who would like to learn or improve ski or snow board skills, there are several places in Vermont ready to help without the distraction of children and away from male competitiveness (or whatever else they do that gets on your nerves).

|First Night Celebrations in Three VT Towns
Back from a couple of weeks of vacation followed by busy days of cleaning up after the insulation company blew new "dense-pack" into the attic, reorganizing the items we took out of the attic, moving them around from room to room to make way for guests, putting them back into the attic, followed by some quick wall painting and a few small repairs, and somewhere in there I got over a cold, put up the Christmas tree, mailed holiday cards, and wrapped a couple of presents, plus the day-to-day details of running an inn such as answering inquiries, taking reservations and emailing confirmations.
One way I got all that done was by slacking on this blog. Now I have a one inch stack of topics ready to be written about. Number one on the list is New Year's celebrations. Three cities in VT have First Night celebrations.
Originated in Boston in 1976, First Night celebrations have spread to many other cities in the US plus Canada and New Zealand.
First Nights are family friendly events that are alcohol and substance free.
Burlington's First Night has a New Year's eve parade, music performances, plays, circus acts, dancing, eating, and fireworks at venues throughout the downtown, all within walking distance of each other
This is a large event put on by a non-profit organization with 3 full time directors, a board of 14 members, many corporate sponsors, and 500 volunteers.
Other First Nights nearby are Montpelier, and a little farther away in St. Johnsbury, where they are proud to raise a lighted ball at midnight instead of lowering it as they do in some other cities.
Admission ranges from $10 in St. Johnsbury to $15 at Burlington for adults.

|Killington and Sugarbush Celebrate 50th Anniversaries
This old but undated photo shows one of Sugarbush's gondolas that was painted from, believe it or not, a winning entry in a design contest
Killington Ski Resort is celebrating its 50th anniversary December 12 through the 14th. On the web page you will see that Killington sold all their commemorative medallions but the events are open to other people who have not purchased one.
On Friday night, there is a "Ski Sweater Soirée" at the Killington Grand Resort Hotel and Spa. Tickets are $75 and include dinner and entertainment. On Saturday, there is a 50th Birthday Poker Run throughout the resort. On Saturday night , there will be a torchlight parade, snowcat parade, kids activities and entertainment, live entertainment and dancing, and a giant birthday cake.
It is surprising that at the same time 50 years ago, Sugarbush was also getting started. Its 50th birthday celebration is the same weekend as Killington's. The two ski areas are about an hour's drive from each other so it's possible to attend both events.
Both ski resorts have new owners as of a few years ago and both are undergoing upgrades, especially Sugarbush which has seen major improvements over the last several years. Once known as "Mascara Mountain" for its tony clientele a few decades ago, Sugarbush will be hosting special events, meals, lodging, and skiing the weekend after next.

Does it harm the tungsten when grinding it if it gets red hot from the friction of the wheel?

Grinding Tungsten - Red Hot
are you grinding very agressively??
or really leaning on it??
guess I would suggest going a bit easier on it... no need to get RED hot...
Here is a quick video..
".Preparing a Tungsten Electrode for TIG Welding ."
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...
My Blue Stuff:
Dynasty 350DX Tigrunner
Dynasty 200DX
Millermatic 350P w/25ft Alumapro & 30A
Millermatic 200
TONS of Non-Blue Equip, plus CNC Mill, Lathes & a Plasmacam w/ PowerMax-1000
I would think it depends on the type of tungsten, I weld mostly stainless so I use red band which usually never gets red when I grind it, now my green band tungsten does but it hasn't affected my welding

:-) Yeah I tend to be impatient with just about everything.
Since during the weld it can get to ~10,000 (white hot) degrees so assumed it probably didn't hurt it but was curious.
(GTAW electrode temps - http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2007/AnthonyHo.shtml)
Can't hurt to not get it that hot though I guess.

It get's way hotter than that when welding with it. And you reuse it for more than one welding session. So in light of that, anything you do to it with a grinding wheel (as far as heat is concerned) isn't going to damage it in any way.

Although when welding it is in an inert gas cloud. Mine gets dipped for extra protection.

What we call Downtown Miami is really a combination of three strictly non-residential neighborhoods -- the Design District to the north, Midtown in the (er) middle and the Financial District to the south.
The city's pet project, untold millions have converted the Design District into a shopping mecca for high-end furniture, art, jewelry and clothing. The Living Room and Moore Building -- where Design Miami is held each year -- are the district's most iconic structures. But since it's mostly stores and galleries, it's pretty dead most evenings.
Separated from the Design District by the road to the airport, Midtown is what its prettier sister up north looked like before her makeover. This former rail yard houses the Rubell Family Collection ( one of the world's greatest private collections), Miami collector Martin Z. Margulies' famed Margulies Collection, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. But like its fair sister up north, it's completely deserted at night.
Miami's financial center occupies downtown's southern tip. This is where business travelers are most likely to find themselves. With glittering skyscrapers reaching to the heavens, the skyline is especially impressive in the evenings when the towers are lit like the massive prisms. If you're a sports fan, you can catch a game at the American Airlines Arena or take a cultured turn at the Adrienne Arsht Center of the Performing Arts (a triple threat of opera, philharmonics and ballet).
If you're staying Downtown, it means two things. One, you're here for business (don't tell us you want a beachless vacation!); two, you're staying in the Financial District -- the only part of town where there are enough hotels to actually make a choice. This, by the way, is a good thing -- your hotel is guaranteed to be close to virtually every corporate office in Miami. And you'll find a room to suit pretty much every wallet, from the standard Holiday Inn Port of Miami, to the convention-friendly Hyatt Regency, to the luxuriously glossy Epic Hotel. If you want to stay away from the hubbub, consider a hotel on Brickell Key, a small island just off the mainland with manicured gardens and a jogging path that follows the water. Populated by towering condos, it's where you'll find some of the richest and most successful locals... and also the most expensive hotels. But even if you're staying at Brickell Key's posh Mandarin Oriental, remember -- there still ain't no beach.
Price alone doesn't cut it -- what we're looking for is iconic design, beautiful rooms, overindulgent service, and the best food in Miami. Here's a list of downtown hotels where you can live in the lap of luxury.
Just because it's an upscale hotel doesn't mean the service is great. Here's our list of the most attitude-free hotels in Downtown Miami, where you will be waited on hand and foot throughout your stay -- from check-in to checkout, from the beach to the pool, and from your room to the restaurant.
