I have 2 hard drives on my machine, one with BT4 and the other was empty, until recently decided to put windows on it, so, I unplugged the first hard drive (the one with BT4 on it) and set the empty drive as the first HDD, after successfully installing and booting windows on the empty drive, I plugged in the BT4 HDD (as the first HDD now) and got the error 'Error Loading Operating System'.
I tried booting into an ubuntu live CD (just one I had on hand) and can see all the files on the filesystem for backtrack (Except the files in root?)
I'm not sure what to do? Any advice?

Discussion in 'January 2014' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2013.
I always listen to this song before I post in a game thread.
I wish I had data on the number of and-1's that Singler gives up. I don't, but will say that I don't recall it being a problem.
Singler just needs his own +/- thread.....otherwise this Suns thread will score a record number of posts to an individual game thread especially since the next game is not until Friday.
Kyle Singler has fouled another player 3 times this year where they made the bucket and then converted the free throw (3 and 1's.). That doesn't qualify as constantly in my book. His total shooting foul rate is 3.7% compared to 3.2% for Josh Smith. That is a rounding error. However, I view that as a cost of guarding people and not a mistake. If you sag off your man like Smith, it's really unlikely that you're going to foul them. On the season, Singler's man has gone 17-60 from 3-point range for a shooting percentage of 28.3%. Absolutely spectacular. 2 of them came off of screens and 1 was a pick and pop. So, when he wasn't interfered with and didn't have to switch, his man was 14-55 (25.5%). For bothering his man that much, I would say that he does a phenomenal job of avoiding contact. In contrast, Smith has allowed his man to shoot 41-109 from 3-point range for a shooting percentage of 37.6%. That is not good. And fittingly, Smith's man attempts 3's more often than Kyle's man... because they have an easier time getting open and they draw up plays to take advantage of the mismatch on offense.
Good to get the win, but it glossed over our horrible last quarter. I can understand Mo wanting to try something different to finish the game considering how bad our 4ths have been, but those small ball lineups are ludicrous! And to stick with it after he saw how bad it was going was even worse. We were just lucky Josh hits that 3.
No, I do not go looking for problems with Singler. I primarily just watch the games for enjoyment, hoping the Pistons will win. What I share, is from what I see. If I see Singler get beat by a taller guy on one play, and later get put on the perimeter to get beat off the dribble, I will simply say what I saw. And I do lately count up the points Singler gives up for being too slow, and for being too short / weak as an NBA front line player. I will ask you this. You probably know I love seeing Pope get minutes. Do I ever pine for him to get more minutes by playing at small forward. No, never. Too slight for that position. It does the Pistons no good. I also pick on CV, whenever he plays, because he consistently fails to play defense. What you are seeing from me lately is very simpe, Singler is playing a lot, and there is a ton of bad plays he is involved in. In chat, anyone who is there will notice that if Singler does something good, I mention it. And if he does somelthing, or simply is incapable of doing something a small forward should be capable of, I mention that also. I am not putting any great emphasis on Singler beyound what his share of the problems are. Good luck with your next theory. Meanwhile, although you sound reasonable for most of your post, at the end you make statements that Singler is in fact a fine small forward. How strong is that sentiment of yours, and is it effecting your view of my criticism of Singler.
I thought the problem was that he didn't tell them to stop switching in the post. Thats where we got so burned - consecutive plays of Jennings and Bynum being posted up because of a lazy switch on defense rather than fighting through the screen.
Here are how other top NBA small forward compare to Singler on 3-point defense and foul rates. Player: opp 3P% (details)/ PF rate per possession Singer: .283 (17-60)/ 3.7% Lebron: .313 (36-115)/ 3.7% George: .327 (33-101)/ 4.2% Batum: .333 (27-81)/ 4.5% Leonard: .333 (27-81)/ 8.3% Durant: .336 (46-137)/ 6.1% Korver: .344 (32-93)/ 4.6% Carmelo: .356 (37-104)/ 4.1% Smith: .376 (41-109)/ 3.2% Prince: .381 (16-42)/ 4.3% Barnes: .436 (24-55)/ 5.5% L Deng: .436 (24-55)/ 5.8% Nothing is unusual on this list except that Kyle Singler is statistically the best perimeter defender on the entire planet. The Pistons' quant department knows these numbers (100% guaranteed) and the information is fed to Cheeks. Would I trade Lebron or Paul George straight up for Singler? I could be convinced.
That's definitely interesting, however Singler has only been out there for a bit under half the attempts that George/Lebron have. Statistics need context too - Singler comes off the bench and is guaranteed to log at least a large percentage of his minutes against rotation players rather than starting units. I would argue that this numbers are probably skewed as a result. Having said that, they are definitely impressive. I agree that he is one of the more fundamentally sound defenders on our unit. To the more accomplished game watchers (I only get to watch maybe 1 in 2), how does our defense look when Singler and Pope are on the floor together? I imagine the perimeter defense is far better.
Which other nba 6th men are SFs? Would be interesting to compare. KS gets a lot of burn against bench players, but also significant time against their starters.
That's kind of the story of our entire season. A complete inability to guard the pick and roll. Before they were switching Frye was getting WIDE OPEN looks from his sweet spot from beyond the arc. We took that away and then began to concede the Jennings/Bynum post up but not a single one of our bigs could defend any of their littles. Contrary to what others believe the coach HAD to adjust to them. Did it piss me off? Of course! But I was upset that we were just that bad of a team that we had to adjust. But who was Monroe and/or Drummond going to guard? It stunk to high heaven but they were burning us, just like every other team in the league. Maybe we should have put KCP on the ball since he seems to be the only player capable of fighting through, over or around a pick. I also thought that this was a perfect time to go with JJ and bench Jennings.....but there's no way Cheecks will ever sit Jennings down the stretch of the 4th qtr.
If he allowed 50% shooting, I bet it would feel like a more significant sample. The only guys I could find with similar results in similar roles were casspi and hollis thompson. Both have recently received recognition for their defensive efforts with thompson going from d-league to starter. Casspi has been noticed by the advanced stats guys as being involved in combinations that have unusually strong defensive attributes. I agree with your skepticism instinct. It's unusual enough with singler though that testing it further by pairing him with the starters isn't that big of a gamble. Evaluating 34 Games of Omri Casspi - Red94 | Houston Rockets news and musings Casspi and thompson both play sililarly to ks. Disciplined and selective with smart defensive positioning.
Fixed it for you.
With Rodney Stuckey (still) hurt, KCP is our only SG and Singler is our only SF. With that being said who is the other SF that should be playing instead of Singler? GiGi? JJ? Oh never mind, I forgot....Tony Mitchell....LMBO!!!
To who? I actually agree with most of the insights you have posted. And that kind of defense would still get a tick from me if it was all in garbage time. I think that statistics need context to be useful - e.g I don't think that KS and Lebron/PG are incomparable due to the different roles that they play in the team and matchups they experience on the court. But it goes both ways - Lebron gives up more on a better team, Singler gives up less on a bad team. Is KS's skill being masked or skewed by our losing records (i.e +/-, AST%, WARP)? Singler doesn't pass my eye test as an NBA starter, but I certainly don't think he is worthless.
That Laimbrane post about confirmation bias was one of the best posts I have seen in some time. I work on stuff related to biases all the time, and we all suffer from it. There is no such thing as perfect objectivity. It's important to understand that we all rationalize points of view that we have already formed an opinion about. If you never catch yourself being incorrect about something (which is unlikely since no one is perfect) then you may be dealing with some confirmation bias. It's not easy, but it's very helpful to test our own hypotheses and to step back and take a bigger picture view of things.
It's a bit of work to move this stuff, but we can if people want a Singler thread. I'm not really worried about this thread getting too big though. More posts is generally a good thing.
I find a difficult to understand that one guy seems to have more knowledge and a different opinion about a player then a coach + assisitant coaches + a GM + an entire organisation. Especially when that person only watches TV footage while the rest is with the player 24/7 including practises.
I was just kidding....its just that you never know when there is a new post if we are still complaining about the "win" over Phoenix or is it a another Singler appreciation comment
The 3 point shooting disparity in volume and percentage is one of the worst things about our team this year. Removing Josh Smith from 3 point territory on both ends of the court is the obvious solution. Luckily, KS, the only candidate to replace him, is OK at shooting and is above average at defending the perimeter. Jorts might also help since he can spread the floor and take opposing centers out of the paint. More jorts with our driving guards might be a good experiment. Not sure how that would work out defensively.
Separate names with a comma.

"He (Allah) is the Creator of the heavens and the earth..." (Surat ash-Shura: 11)
Allah is the One Who created earth, the Sun, stars and Moon. So how did all the living things on earth come into being? Imagine a huge planet with its surface completely empty. There are no humans or animals, no plants or insects.
Earth has been decorated in a lot of detail for living things to survive. Allah is the One Who has given earth all these details. Otherwise none of us would have been able to live, neither you, nor your parents, or indeed any of your friends would have been here.
Let's consider how Allah created the earth so that living things can survive:
1. Think about… how orderly everything in the universe is. The sun has been put in the exact position from which it could warm us and give us light at the same time. If there were no sun, there would not have been one living thing on earth. Neither us, nor the animals nor any other creatures would have been able to live.
2. Allah has also distanced the sun from earth to just the right extent. If earth was a little bit closer to the sun, the heat would have scorched it and we would not have been able to live. If earth was a little more distant from the sun, then glaciers would have covered it and again, few living things would have been able to survive. This is one of the reasons why there is no life on other planets, because they are either too close to the sun or too distant from it.
3. As you know, living things need to breathe in order to live. We need oxygen in the air so that we can breathe. Exactly the right amount of oxygen exists in the air so that human beings can breathe. If there were a little bit more or a little bit less, neither we, nor the animals, nor the plants would have survived, because, as we have already said, we need to breathe in order to live. For this we need oxygen.
4. One of the most important things that make it possible for us to survive is water. No organism can live without water. For this reason, Allah has created some parts of earth as water. Three quarters of earth's surface is covered with water. However, there is no water on any of the other planets nor is there any water on the moon that you see at night. The essentials for living things are only available on earth.
Many events on earth make it possible for us to live. If even only one of these events doesn't take place, no living thing would be left on earth. So, is it possible that these thousands of events have come together spontaneously and formed such a place as earth? Of course not. Not even one of these events could happen by chance. Allah has created earth for human beings. And, because of this, earth is the most suitable place for us.

What is #MTAMO?
My Tweets Are My Own (or #MTAMO) is a declaration used on Twitter to explain that regardless of who we work for, the content, tone, and opinions expressed in our personal timeline are just that - personal.
The lines between our private lives and our professional lives have been slowly eroding over the years. Potential employers now check Facebook and Twitter as standard part of the hiring process.
That said, simply working for a company does not imply that every action we take or every word out of our mouths is a reflection upon that company.
If I am tweeting on behalf of a company, for a corporate account, then I should without question be held to corporate social media standards for that account. But if I'm tweeting from my personal Twitter account, my company doesn't get to hold that against me, and others don't get to hold it against my company.
We are not robotic drones working for corporations. We're actual people. You'll like some of us, you won't like others so much. We're going to have good days and off days. We're going to occasionally overreact, because we're human. But being great at our jobs and being people you like personally are not one and the same, nor are they interchangable. If you don't like what we have to say, don't follow us - but leave the folks we work for out of it. If you kick sand on us at the beach or act like a jerk to us at a bar, we're not going to go running to your boss. Why would we? Your behavior outside of work has nothing to do with your job. We expect the same consideration from you online.
And if we work for you, remember that you hired us to be part of your diverse team because of our life experiences, personalities, strengths and even some of our weaknesses. They are part of what make us unique and valuable to you. Our humanity and passion are what allows each one of us to bring something different to the table - to your table. Don't punish us for that.
When we are on the clock for you, we maintain the expected level of professionalism - which often means not sharing exactly what we're thinking in the interests of a harmonious office environment. When we are not on the clock for you, however, you have absolutely no right to dictate what we can and cannot say, to whom we can say it, and how we are to express it.
You pay us to do a job, you do not own us. When you allow us to flourish personally, you will get more out of us professionally.
Thank you for your understanding.

Professor, Department of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Professor, Department of Genetics
Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair in Aging Research
Director, Institute for Aging Research
Dr. Nir Barzilai is the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research and of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging. He is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research, professor in the Departments of Medicine and Genetics, and member of the Diabetes Research Center and of the Divisions of Endocrinology & Diabetes and Geriatrics.
Dr. Barzilai's research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging. One focuses on the genetic of exceptional longevity, where we hypothesize and demonstrated that centenarians have protective genes which allows the delay of aging or for the protection against age-related diseases. In a Program I am leading we take full advantage of phenotypes, DNA, and cells from the Ashkenazi Jewish families with exceptional longevity and the appropriate controls I have established at Einstein (over 2500 samples of which ~600 are centenarians) and discovered underling genomic differences associated with longevity. Longevity Genes Project (LGP) is a cross-sectional, on-going collection of blood and phenotype from families with centenarian proband. LonGenity is a longitudinal study of 1400 subjects, half offspring of parents with exceptional longevity, validating and following their aging in relationship to their genome. The second direction is focused on the metabolic decline of aging, and we hypothesize that the brain leads this decline. My lab has identified several central pathways that specifically alter body fat distribution and insulin action and secretion by intraventricular or hypothalamic administration of several peptides that are modulated by aging including: leptin, IGF-1, IGFBP3 and resveratrol.
He has received numerous grants, among them ones from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), American Federation for Aging Research, and the Ellison Medical Foundation. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers, reviews, and textbook chapters. He is an advisor to the NIH on several projects, initiatives, and study sections. He serves on several editorial boards and is a reviewer for numerous other journals. Dr. Barzilai has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Beeson Fellow for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar in Aging Award, the Paul F. Glenn Foundation Award, the NIA Nathan Shock Award, and the 2010 Irving S. Wright Award of Distinction in Aging Research.
he is currenty leading an international effort to aprove drugs that can target aging. Taregting Aging with METformin (TAME) is a specific study designed to prove the concept that multi-morbidities of aging acn be delayed by metformin, working with the FDA to approve this approch which will serve as a template for future efforts to delat aging and its diseases in humans.
Born in Israel, Dr. Barzilai served as chief medic and physician in the Israel Defense Forces. He graduated from The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and completed his residency in internal medicine at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. He served in a refugee camp during the war in Cambodia (1979-1980) and built a nutritional village in the homeland of the Zulu (1983 – Kwazulu). He was an invited speaker at the Fourth Israeli Presidential Conference on the Future in 2012.

HOUSTON -- A vending operator based here has been arrested on charges of bankruptcy fraud. According to the indictment by a Houston grand jury, Christopher Fields, 49, filed a voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation case in October 2010 in Houston. During bankruptcy proceedings, he allegedly testified under oath that he had not received payment from any employment during the 60 days prior to the bankruptcy filing and he had not received any income during the previous three years.
Fields owned an unincorporated business named Good Game Investments, which consisted of snack and beverage vending machines located in Houston, San Antonio and Austin, TX, as well as in San Diego and Los Angeles, CA.
Fields also testified in other bankruptcy proceedings that his mother owned some 200 vending machines that he serviced, and that she paid him for his expenses, according to the indictment. During a deposition in the bankruptcy process, Fields' mother allegedly stated that she never received any money from the vending machines and she had nothing to do with the maintenance, locations, payment of taxes or collection of money from them.
The indictment further alleges that at the time Fields filed his petition, he owned approximately 1,100 vending machines, and he maintained control of the locations, maintenance and income generated by them. He allegedly concealed and converted property of the bankruptcy estate from the trustee, creditors and the bankruptcy court in order to "deceive, evade and prevent" the trustee from collecting and liquidating all the total assets of the estate for the benefit of creditors.
The bankruptcy fraud charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment without parole and a $250,000 fine, upon conviction. Fields also faces up to five years in prison for each count of concealment of assets, false oath and false declaration in addition to a $250,000 fine.

Aww, thanks! :) I've had the occasional thought of making little-kid aprons (my own pattern - at least, so hugely adapted from the original that I'm pretty sure it's "mine") to sell at the shop on the apple orchard, where we live. Our landlord's father runs it and it mostly sells fruit, with some homegrown veggies and apple juice. I thought maybe if I made apple-themed aprons, they'd agree to put a few up for sale. But I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Other than that, no. :p I don't have enough time to sew all the things I want for us, let alone everyone else! (Not to mention, y'know, cleaning and cooking and educating the kidling and all that jazz....) I really need to make some clothes for myself, but with Christmas coming up I'm way behind on kid sewing... arrgh. Plus, most of the clothes I make these days are Ottobre, and they're quite strict about not selling stuff made with their patterns. I adapt some of their patterns, but it's a fuzzy line... And yeah, they're not that professional-looking close up. I often zigzag seams to finish them, because I don't have a serger - it's fine for home clothes, but looks a bit "homemade" for bought ones, you know?
Still, I am ridiculously proud of myself when I complete a wearable, attractive garment. I was so awful at sewing as a teenager - it was my sister's thing - that I still marvel I can sew a straight seam without disaster! My mother is equally taken aback - she tends to say "That looks nice!" with an air of stunned surprise. Flattering. :)
I traced patterns for salior shorts in two sizes, the sailor dress and DS' sailor top recently, so I can get started on those soon. And we're going away for our FIRST EVER! family holiday in a few weeks, and I'd love to sew myself something decent to wear... I have this terrible mental block about sewing clothes for me. Partly it's mummy martyrdom ("but I still haven't made DD's Cinderella dress for Christmas!"), partly it's perfectionism (because if I don't achieve something that perfectly expresses me, is breastfeeding-friendly, flattering, "my" colour, a bit retro, a bit military, ModClothy but higher quality, and in all other ways awesome, I may as well just run a hot bath and slice open a large vein, amirite?)... and partly it's a deathly fear of wasting vast quantities of fabric. That's the great thing about baby clothes. You can only destroy fabric half a metre at a time. :p
Even still, you should totally sell aprons at the orchard shop - talk to them! I hear you about the serger - I want one with my whole heart, and like to think I am the type of person who would sew immense amounts of things on a daily basis if only I had a serger. And the part I bolded above is 100% of the reason I've never attempted to sew anything more involved than a gardening apron for myself. :-)

You all definitely NEED a serger- I can't believe I lived without it for so long. I couldn't justify $600 for one though- so I bought a barely used second hand one for $200. It was a steal. I love it but still need to rearrange my sewing room for it. I don't use it nearly as often as I would like since I have to move my sewing machine to put it there. Which is dumb to do for a little seam you know? But it has opened up the wonderful world of knit to me- which I hated before!

I managed to hem the girls holiday skirts today
okay i finally finished my 2nd version of a mei-tai today, which is still not quite how i want it (with still wider straps and more padding), but much better than the 1st. It's black with LONG straps and red canvas on the other side of the panel, so is reversible for holiday festivity. and now i need to make some things for a secret santa sister in my ddc and get started on some minimal holiday gift sewing, including a stocking for the new member of our family who was born this year. i can't believe how few projects I have done this year, but I am okay with that. ;)
Mama to 3 boys
I haven't been around much lately. Nor have I been in a crafty type mood. I just started a nautical theme/color blanket tonight. Who knows when it will be done. Its crochet and ripple stitch. It could be a present for DS or for someone else.
Sadly all my yarn is stuck in Ohio and I'm in AZ. makes crafting difficult.

2017 the year of peace and tranquility.
41/52: Dress for meeee! Apparently spelling out why I couldn't do it inspired me. :p It is not, by any means, perfect; but it's unique and has gotten a few compliments. I'd like to make a new and improved version when I get some more fabric.
42/52: Helped the friend of a friend... actually, the relative-by-marriage of an acquaintance... with a wedding cake.
43/52: "Invented" a pavlova for a pavlova competition. I'm giving myself a point for this, because I made about five versions of the darned thing. It was nice in the end - super-lemony, with a lemon-mascarpone topping, and flaked coconut pressed into the sides, and meringue triangles of lemon-coconut meringue arranged artily around the edges. I find out if I won today...
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
I moved over to the handmade holidays. I have been busy crafting too.

I haven't had much crafting time lately.. Seems like the baby has turned from smiley baby to screaming baby
44/52: Made a denim "beast" stuffed with fabric scraps, for DH to use as a target (he has a recurve bow). I appliqued a heart, a bone and various organs on it, and he can also aim for the eyes or hair if he chooses. It was fun, and I didn't have to be super fussy because it was going to be shot up anyway. Might do a few more if I get time - goodness knows I have enough fabric scraps!
I did win the pavlova competition, incidentally. :p
Now off to sew a bit more of the Christmas tree skirt before I have to go see The Hobbit with my dad!
OkiMom, you have my heartfelt sympathies...
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
I knew you would win, Smokering. And the target beast sounds like a fun project! Incidentally, my ds just came in and I showed him your avatar of Princess Leaia and he informed me that is no picture of Princess Leia! If that picture is YOU, then you look like a movie star. I really have been thinking you were Princess Leia for years or however long you have been using that picture here.
Heather, is baby better? My baby was the fussiest baby I had yet, but I took him to the chiropractor and that was an attitude adjustment/ miracle. He went twice and is now Mr. Smiley Happy, thank God!
Happy Holidays everyone! I have been busy sewing; I have made quite a few things. But I don't think I will bother revisiting and trying to claim points for them now! I hope to start and finish 3 stockings today, for my 3 boys.
Mama to 3 boys
LOL! No, your son is mistaken... that is indeed Mrs Solo. Sadly. Her crown braid is my favourite hairstyle, and I've always admired Leia, hence the avatar. I'm much less glamorous.
OK, so, counting...
45/52: Sailor suit for DS.
46/52: Sailor suit for my nephew.
47/52: Sailor shirt for my other nephew (I'd already made him the matching shorts for a birthday present).
48/52: Sailor dress for DD.
Yesterday we dressed all four cousins up in their sailor gear, went to the beach and took photos. Hopefully we can get some done into little albums in time for Christmas... um, maybe. Doesn't seem likely now I think about it, does it? Christmas Eve is TOMORROW! Yikes.
Currently I'm frantically working on DD's Cinderella dress. I've pared down her Christmas list considerably, but I still need to do the Cinderella dress (with matching choker and headband), a few more clothes for her Waldorf doll, and lots more cutouts for her felt flannelgraph board thing.
And I really would like to get the Christmas tree skirt finished before Christmas Day!
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
Ok, I realize I'm jumping in on this conversation without warrant, but thank goodness it's Leia...I seriously thought I lost my mind reading the original post!
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
I finished the dinosaur hat for my son's Christmas gift! So I think that puts me at 4 complete for the entire year, or some equally as paltry number. Oh well, better luck next year!

Kitchen queen- some years are just like that and it is ok. I need a craft room cleaning challenge. Desparately. I need to clean and organize my way through 2013... It is bad- really bad. I stash way too much away for something someday.

49/52: Finished DD's felt flannelgraph (actually DH did, but hey, it got done)
50/52: Finished making a bunch of clothes for DD's Waldorf doll
Only two to go! I should be able to make it...
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
I have no idea what my tally is- but I do know I made it this year. I spent my night hemming the kids' new jeans and pjs. Apparently my kids are short and stocky and I hate ratty jeans. I also figured out how to near invisibly patch a pair of designer jeans. My mom is a seamstress at a high end store and told me how she does it there and guess what? It works! No horizontal line is the key- lots of verticals to keep the patch in place- but no horizontal!
I still need a good clean out on my craft room with some serious organization in 2013. It will have to be after I get our taxes done though I guess. That is going to be my new priority.

I was awful at keeping track, but I made A LOT of things this year! If we do it in 2013, I'll try to keep better track :D
This was my final (or almost final as I sit down to do a few more things this week....) project.
It was this to start out with (there were two of the nightstands on the right). I added no additional wood, just paint, hinges, pulls, and some fabric I already had on hand. Then thrifted for the pots and pans and other items. Bought new some child sized wooden spoons and tongs.
It's really tiny, toddler sized. Here is my 32" tall 18 mo old on his tippy toes. Got the table and toys on top from Ikea. He LOVED it all!
~Mama to my boys~ to a teen, a tween & a toddler and surro-mama to twins and their sister
Livin' in the sticks with my chicks and lovin' it!
2014: 4/52 projects 0/2014 things 0/52 books
Let's see (I didn't keep grest track either):
2 pairs of knit socks
3 ruffle scarves
2 shawls ( 30 x 70 - taking 1.5 for each :-) )
29 pencil rolls
insulated the shed my ds 16 lives in
10 gift bags
curtains for the boys' room
3 wooden bowls
dead fish hat
so 44/52 ish
Momsteader- that is an awesome play kitchen. One of our friends is kind of a woodworker and made one for DD1 one year as MY present :) He asked me for dimensions and I told him wrong! It is beautiful and oak and completely gorgeous and way way too tall. I felt like a compete moron. In fact I still do. My SIL saw it and commented on it and said DD could have had hers from when she was little (not that fab but still cute). Well now that I have 2 DDs- I think I will paint SIL's for DD2 and DD1 finally fits hers.... random I know.
34me- I have to make a couple more of those ruffle scarves yet for my sister- good thing they are so quick!

wow, nice play kitchen. we made a range last year and I have one of the same nightstands that you used we thought we would use for a sink/pantry, but we didn't do it for christmas this year as our play room is over crowded!
It seems i have my own lovely tradition of nicely cleaning my sewing room (and finishing projects) at the end of the year. I am about halfway done on the cleaning in there and I just popped in here to start adding points, as I will need them if I am to break even wth the 52 goal this year! I just finished 3 skirts for me, all of which had been waiting unfinished mostly for hems. One was a gorgeous thing I found at the thrift store (maybe LAST year!) that I have shortened and redone to wear to my new year party, and the other two are winter skirts I can wear now, one is long and one is from a patterned corduroy.
So +3
Then, I had some points from Christmas, although I made very little handmade this year, other than treats. Let's see, I had 1 for an infinity scarf for my sister, 1 for a purse for a niece, 1 for some bath salts for cousins etc, 1 for a turquoise bracelet and earrings for my mom, 1 for 2 travel bags (shoes and heatproof padded flat iron bag) for my mom...wow, that was it for sewing for Christmas! - oh, and for a secret santa sister swap...2 pts for 3 bags, 1 pt for a blanket, 1 pt for a new design (and execution) of a long necklace made from jersey knit, another +1 for a different long necklace and a bracelet....also +1 for several hot pink heart shaped lavender sachets...and +1 for an extra large set of flannel christmas napkins for the teacher.
Awesome, so I'm up +15, maybe I will make 52 for the year afterall...
Mama to 3 boys
Maybe next year will be better. Left crafting for Journaling somewhere along the way....

2017 the year of peace and tranquility.
ha, i got 2 more: i finished some patchworked, lined, HUGE pants, and a precious flannel baby blanket for my stock, as I have committed to doing some craft shows this year. I went back and tried to count my points this thread, but i sure was counting them funny early this year! Counting objects made, not counting the baby, and with no extras for upcycling and deleting the garden points, I think I am at about 45 right now, so not too far off after all! lol I love this thread, ladies; i'm glad to still be coming back to mdc for this (and treasure mapping, too ;) ).
Mama to 3 boys
I know it is the last day of the year- but I would like to finish up a couple projects today.... My DD1's bday is Saturday- I am working on a prairie dress and apron for her, an American girl (her version of Captain America) costume, and a half apron for her for cooking. I would also like to finish an apron for one of my girlfriends. I also would like to come up with some sort of little camera case for myself...
If I could get all that done I would like to make DD a cowgirl shirt too... I am ordering her a fancy western one but I have some super cute cuddly flannel for a matching shirt and vest..
My taxes are almost done- so I can breathe a little easier now :)

Well, I got 51/52 done yesterday: a shirt for DS. I knew I wouldn't be able to get DD's Cinderella dress done by midnight and I wanted to hit 52, so I started making a little baby-girl pinafore for a friend... but then I had other stuff to do and didn't finish it. And now it's January 1. Darn. The annoying thing is, if I counted differently I could totally be beyond 52... like if I put the sailor shirts and shorts as separate items. :p Oh well!
At any rate, I kind of cheated... when I started the year, the idea was to finish already-begun projects, not make new ones. I did finish a few, but honestly, my to-be-finished pile isn't noticeably smaller. Maybe this year...!
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
Close enough I would say!
Yeah. we got a puppy today... so it has been chaos. I knit for awhile while DD did school- but mostly it was rescuing the puppy from little boys and picking up our house so the puppy doesn't eat crayons....

I set up in the same spot, dekes set up same as the day before, (slayed em that day) had ducks flying all over us but weren't even slowing down or taking a second look. Something just seemed wrong. Any advice on what the problem could be? Or is that just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes?

It's easy enough to focus on the major breaches of 2012 and feel a certain hopelessness. But this year was a banner one for busting black hat bad guys. Several major international operations reaped a harvest of hackers, from big-shot Russian gangsters to bored British teens. This was the year they locked up the world's biggest pirate in Sweden. And the gangly Anonymous guy who probably should have worn the mask but didn't. The thoughtful cybercriminal should be sure to consider some questions in the year ahead. Who can you trust? How long can you run? Is bragging really worth it? And, of course, when a hacker's girl displays her breasts, is she showing more than she knows?
[Which applications and vendor dominated the vulnerability and exploit headlines in 2012? See The Vulnerability 'Usual Suspects' Of 2012.]
Sabu's Lulzsec Pals: Ryan Ackroyd, Jake Davis, Darren Martyn, Jeremy Hammond, and Donncha O'Cearrbhail
Thanks, in large part, to the cooperation of hacker Hector Xavier Monsegur, better known as Sabu, who was arrested last year for his escapades as an Anonymous hacker, authorities in the U.S. and Europe arrested five of his compatriots in an international sting that shook up Lulzsec and Anonymous in both the U.S. and the U.K. The sweep caught up a disparate group of cybercriminals from O'Cerrbhail and his attacks against the Irish government, to Hammond, the self-proclaimed "anarchist-communist" who launched a devastating attack against Stratfor, to large-scale collaborative efforts targeting companies and nation states.
Sony's Revenge: Raynaldo Rivera
After the arrest last year of Rivera's Lulzsec partner in crime, Cody Kretsinger, it was only a matter of time before the law caught up with Rivera. He surrendered to the FBI following an indictment by a grand jury for hacking Sony Pictures using a proxy server to carry out a SQL injection attack in May 2011 that lead to the release of unencrypted passwords of more than 1 million Sony customers. In October Rivera pleaded guilty to the crime and will learn his sentencing in the spring. Originally up for 15 years in jail, he'll be recommended for a reduced sentence in exchange for his guilty plea.
The Hacker Formerly Known As ACK!3STX
Between January and March 2012, an unnamed 15-year-old boy burned the midnight oil in order to hack a remarkable 259 websites both in his home country of Austria and abroad, authorities said. Unlike financially or politically motivated attackers, the boy took a shotgun approach, breaching databases and defacing websites seemingly at random. His industriousness outran his thoroughness and Austrian police were able to take him into custody. His exact identity has been protected due to his age and the fact that Europol has launched a more detailed investigation.
The Higinio O.Ochoa Hacker "Bust"
Is exhibitionism a driving force behind hactivism? After hacking a number of U.S. law enforcement websites, a man calling himself W0rmer and professing an affiliate association with Anonymous posted a racy photo of his girlfriend wearing a sign taunting authorities in l337 speak. The FBI was able to take the image of the woman's scantily clad breasts, examine the (ahem) EXIF data of the photo, and follow GPS coordinates to Australia. From there, the trail lead back to 30-year-old Texas Linux admin Higinio Ochoa. The alleged CabinCr3w hacker was sentenced to 27 months in prison and ordered to pay $14,000 in restitution. No charges were pressed against the girlfriend, later identified as Kyle Gardner.
Pirate Bay Founder Arrg-rested: Gottfrid Svartholm
No stranger to legal dilemmas, Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm found himself in even deeper waters this year. Swede Svartholm was convicted of a number of different copyright law violations in 2008, but left the country and has been threatened with jail time for failing to appear at hearings. The pressure on Svartholm increased when Swedish prosecutors announced this year that the fugitive is suspected to have participated in a hack against Logica, an IT company that works with the Swedish government. The allegations of "aggravated fraud" lead to Svartholm's arrest in his riverside apartment in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

to many camera's... the nikon d4s is not a posers camera. its basically a photo journalist tool used to shoot the sports section and its normally owned by the publication not the user... the fujifilm x series on the other hand is made for posers (its also crap build quality disguised as a premium product) not that they will ever admit it
as for a beginners dslr the canon eos 100d (rebel SL1) is not a very good choice considering its not really available new (not in my part of the world) the eos rebel T6s (760d) is normally cheaper from most online retailers
Disagreed completely with your judgement. I have been using Nikon DSLR for years, including the famous FM, F301, F801s and recently the D7000. I purchased the Fujifilm X100s a year ago, and saying they are crap build quality borders on ignorance. It is actually well-built and gives stunning pictures. It is the camera I carry with me all the time and I am very satisfied with the way it feels ad the pics are really great. In any case, the gear does not make the photographer.
the crap build quality comment is directed at fujifilm not nikon, and is based on return merchandise authorisations
which is best camera for photography in India
Which is best camera of this
01. Nikon 5200 - 18-140
02. Nikon 5300 - 18-140
03. Nikon 7000 - 18-105
I think you make two incorrect claims. The Fuji is for posers? I'd say not. Take the X-T1 - a camera that is smaller, cheaper and for the most parts better than the Nikon/Canon offerings that are significantly more expensive and backed by a range of world-class lenses as good or better than the Nikon/Canon ones that cost four times as much... It's for practical people that want their budget to go as far as possible.
As far as build quality goes... I wouldn't know. I don't work for Fuji or any retailer of their goods. Perhaps there were manufacturing issues with some models but I don't know of anyone who's returned one.
Now, if you buy a D4S and you're not a professional with a need to blow your photos up to a significant size, THEN you are a poser. And you probably blew most of your budget on the body, shoved some cheap plastic on the front and wasted your money completely.
the reason why x100/x100s/x100t has a high return rate is due to the fact they all use the same lens so they suffer from the same problem (sticky aperture blades) fuji are aware of the problem and replace the lens free of charge as long as your the original owner yet this is not public knowledge since fuji has not made any statements about this issue to the press
(most companies will only issue statements about defects if the problem could cause serious injury or death. example: exploding batteries, faulty chargers)
as for my posers comment, its just my opinion... don't get mad because someone on the internet has a different point of view than you :)
I've used the x-t1 but think the original sony a7 is the better buy now that its the same price.
All these camera are available on Ebay or Amazon, so its available in India
The D7000. I'm a photographer and have been shooting with the D3s (predecessor of the D4) for several years. The D7000 is essentially the same camera, just a less 'heavy duty' version. The D3s offering considerably more shutter releases, most notably. Given that the 7000 is half the price, it's an excellent choice, if it's still available.
I changed all my Nikon stuff for Fujifilm last year and don't regret it for one moment. In just a few months I've found my way around the fuji system and taken far more pictures and better results then I could did with Nikon D7000 I had. With the Fuji everything is their either on a button or the quick menu so I'm doing more then I did before.
I know some people love Nikon just as other love Canon but they don't suit eveyone.
I'm also enjoying having far more space in my camera backpack but that's being filled up by me buying cheap vintage lenses I can't resist :-)
Hi guys! I'm not a professional photographer but I've always been a camera enthusiast since I was a kid. I basically take photos for myself and for my blog. I recently sold my RX100 M3 (kinda crazy but it was for a good deal so no harm done!) and still thinking about which camera to get next.
I'm contemplating whether to get the:
a) Canon G5X (con: I'm scared it might not even be as good as my previous RX100 M3)
b) Sony RX100 M4 (con: price)
c) A Fuji camera? My friend suggested the XT1 but I had the X20 before and I'm scared it might too heavy to carry around!
What do you guys suggest?
Try looking here...............
hey guys which camera should i buy between olympus and nikon. i need your help guys . for pass two year i was using fujifilm
I counted like 20 advertisements only on this page... now I see why AdBlockers are doing what they are doing.
I recommend Nikon Coolpix L340. Great camera for the price and 20.2 megapixels. I love it and it gets 4.5 stars. http://amzn.to/20zy1DV
Would also recommend cameraowl (dot) com/digital-camera-buyers-guide-march-2016/ for beginners.
Big fan on the Canon 5DR. I love it. I do all my editing on a very small compact setup. A Macbook Pro Retina and a Lumiy Lightline task lamp and that is it.
Nice article . . . .
nice article list
Panasonic G7 is awesome
I can't believe this article mentioned a few of decent cameras (at best) but almost entirely ignores more formidable cameras from Nikon and Canon. What a crock.
Your claim that an x-t1 is "better than the nikon/canon offerings...." is a complete lie. The x-T1 is an outstanding value camera, but in no way will outperform most nikon/canon offerings, esepcially their prosumer and pro bodies. Get a clue!
the Sony A7 blows the doors off the x-t1.
Nikon. Better bodies, better glass, better software. Trifecta.
This is just a bump of the 2015 article. But your point is still as invalid. If you want to discuss professional bodies with equally blinkered fanboys then dpreview forums are probably for you.

BlogAn interview with Felipe Skroski: Designing SilverStripe 3, UI development and the future of content management
4 March 2011 | |Tweet
This year looks like it's going to be an important milestone for SilverStripe. For not only does it mark the 10th anniversary of the company that brought us the CMS, SilverStripe Limited, but it's also the year in which work has begun on the first major release of the system since it's launch in 2007. SilverStripe 3.0 is still very early in its development but it's already looking very promising, potentially offering huge improvements such as versioned assets, a reworked templating system and better separation between the CMS and the underlying framework Sapphire among other things. However probably the most exciting improvement will be a completely new HTML5/jQueryUI admin interface.
The man in charge of designing the new UI is Felipe Skroski, creative director at SilverStripe Limited. With nearly 15 years of experience designing, marketing and project managing for the web, Felipe is well placed to lead the process, so I caught up with him to talk about SilverStripe 3, UI design and the future of content management.Continue reading...
BlogSilverStripe 3.0 Review
10 September 2012 | |Tweet
The eagerly awaited SilverStripe 3 has been available in a stable state for a while now, it's even had a minor release in the form or 3.0.1. But how does it shape up when compared to it's long established predecessor, SilverStripe 2?
Having now had time to really have a play with it and even do some project work with it there are 2 statements swirling around my head. 1: SilverStripe 3 is absolutely awesome and 2: We won't be using SilverStripe 3 for complex production sites just yet . Confused? Let me explain.Continue reading...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As always, your videos have made me understand what I wanted to know, snowolf! I'm plannin on having a ski/snowboard party with my friends on thursday and I want to show them that theres someting that In know about this crazy sport I've skied for 3 or 4 years (which is a long time for me being a 13 year old) and the black diamonds at my local resort have gotton boring. None of my friends snowboard, actually, and they've been wanting to drag me on the black diamonds. I really don't think I'll be ready, but it'll be my 4th time snowboarding. Do you think it's possible? More to the point, your post has really helped my understanding of skidded turns. I've heard of them and mostly bad things, but now I feel good about trying them out. It hurts to fall on the ice at the top of the intermediate hill :/ Getting out of control freaks me out and I end up doing a faceplant in the snow (or ice!) Hopefully that wont happen too much now!
|You may also not be skidding your turns. If you're simply pointing the board in a direction (toe or heal) you wont shed speed.
Often times the faster you are going when you fall the less it hurts...but not always. Try to hit bounce/tuck/roll and slide...it hurts more to just thud/stop.
Just remember tuck and roll or tuck and slide...try to hit with the biggest body part...if you are falling heelside try to sit, hit with a hip/cheek...if falling toeside...try to lay down and hit with chest, torso. AND keep those arms tuck in near your body...do NOT try to break the fall with your arms...don't try to stop sliding too quickly...burn off some of the speed.
The whole linking turns thing...take some lessons and learn about transitions or phases of the turn...beginning, middle and completing the turn, body/board positions, timing and coordination of the phases and etc. Its really pretty easy to do but it will really help to have a person demonstrate, adjust/give you feedback and coach you.
|I go faster than the people around me, but it's not too fast... It just hurts a lot when I fall, and I sometimes get out of control.
A certain amount of speed is your friend...anxiety and fear determines "how fast it feels" like you are going.
As for pro's going slow and you going too fast...a large part is perception...a pro from a distance looks to be going slow and because you are a newb...you feel that you are going fast...but really you are going slow and the pro is clipping right along.
Riding is a great teacher of learning how to face/handle fear and anxiety....its part of what is meant when we say "its all a mental game".
Btw, you don't want your board to slow down...you need to speed up (perceptively...remember Einstein and time perception}.
Linking turns?
I don't have a video. Sorry! when I link turns, unless with each turn I go completely parallel to the hill facing straight up or down, my board wont slow down. Why does this happen? Thanks to you guys, my toeside turns have become almost natural! The help has been so... helpful!! When I watch the pro snowboarders going down the black diamond so slowly it makes me wonder how I cant when I try to do that on the bunny hill And also, I can go up to intermediate hill but I work on technique a ton on the bunny hill How to I go slower and skid less with the same results? Any other tips for linking turns? Thanks so much! Most helpful website evar!!

I had a question about this, so I thought I would send out a post to see what others thought.
In one of the older posts, slot dimensions for the TK409 boards were
Length of slots: 48mm
Height of top slot: 5mm
Distance between slots: 7mm
Height of bottom slot: 9mm
I think the Shackman and TK409 boards use the .3 inch segment displays. My boards use the .39 inch segments displays.
My board dimensions are
Length of slots: 50mm
Height of top slot: 5mm
Distance between slots: 5 to 9mm (normally 8mm)
Height of bottom slot: 10mm
The screen used version cut the last character in half, so getting the slots cut at the 48mm wide dimensions would be screen accurate.
My question is, what dimensions are the armor makers using? Has anyone who purchased a Fettronics board had trouble with the slot sizes?

Yes, you are correct. The Taurus lock system holds the mainspring housing in place even though the pin is removed. The system has tiny little ball bearing detent and springs so if you want to retain the lock I don't recommend removing it because it is nearly impossible to put back together.
I actually removed the lock system from one of my 92s and tapped the hole and filled it with an allen screw after discovering the impossibility of replacing the lock parts. No problem for me but sure it would hurt resale value.

Laura Shanley: Owner of UnassistedChildbirth.com & Author of Unassisted Childbirth
I am a free-lance writer, birth consultant, speaker, and author of the book Unassisted Childbirth. I am also the mother of four children, all of whom were born at home without the help of doctors or midwives. My ex-husband, David, caught the first one and I caught the other three. Neither of us had been trained in midwifery, but we both understood that the problems in birth can be traced to three main causes: poverty, medical intervention and fear.
Since we did not live in poverty, did not choose to invite medical professionals to our births, and had worked with ourselves to eliminate fear and other potentially destructive emotions, we knew that unassisted childbirth was the safest way for us to give birth.
Writing and speaking about birth is one of my passions, but I am also fascinated by how the mind affects the body, what we can learn from our dreams, impulses and intuition, and how consciousness evolves on both personal and cultural levels. I have been heavily influenced by the writings of Jane Roberts and psychological historian, Gerald Heard.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My name is Cory and Im with Ford Service; welcome to the boards! As you can see, theres an amazing community here (its great to see you taking the time to help, whynotthinkwhynot). I want to forward this concern to your regional customer service manager. So I can do that, please send me a PM with your full name, mileage, best daytime phone number, dealer details, and VIN.
You should identify what the spot is caused by. Is it oil? Is it coolant? Is the engine losing oil? Is the engine losing coolant? Is the engine losing PS fluid?
Where exactly is the spot you're seeing? Is it on the passenger (right) side or the driver's (left) side? FYI: right and left are determined by sitting in the car facing forward.
If it's on the right side, it might be the hydraulic fluid from the front engine mount leaking out. That could create a small spot for a while, then it will go away. AC condensate can stain- if there is a lot of crud inside the AC plenum- but I doubt that's what it is since you said it was an oily spot. AC condensate should dry up, but if it was dirty, then you might see some brown stain, but it would be dry brown stain. You could probably clean that stain up easily with a household cleaner. For oily stains, use "orange" hand cleaner from an auto parts store. A little dab, rub with a rag, rinse, rub, and now that spot will be cleaner than the surrounding concrete. Don't dally if you want to clean it up. The longer an oily stain sits on concrete- the less likely that it will clean up.
The dealer keeps saying the same thing "bring it back, we'll fix it." The nearby dealer, who promised me they would service the car, won't service it. The far away dealer (25 miles) where I bought it (the nearby dealer drove me there - they advertised the car but it was really located with the far away dealer) keeps telling me the nearby dealer will service it. That does no good if the nearby dealer won't service it.
I didn't buy a car so I could visit the dealer every day.
But ultimately it was my mistake, so now I'm stuck. I'll see how it is after a few tanks.
Here's another question/issue. The day after I bought it there was a sizeable oil spot under the car. The dealer claims there is no leak. Now every morning there's a round wet spot under the car...it's clear but it has stained both the driveway and the garage floor. I've never had such a spot under a car. AC condensation, yes, but that's just water and it doesn't stain.
Is that usual for a Focus?
You're feeling quite a few things through the brakes, I think. First off, the tires probably have flat spots from sitting. You'd feel some shaking while driving down the road. You might even have bad tires, but for now, let's just assume it's flat spots.
If brakes sit for a long time, they will build up some rust residue, and it will cause some vibration in the pedal for a short time- a few days. There is always the possibility that the rotors are warped. That's not uncommon. This can happen if someone does some hard braking. You can also have problems from old pads. Old pads that sit out in the weather don't wear right, and can be problematic sometimes.
As far as the stalling engine goes, first off, we need to know which transmission you have. Either a manual or automatic. The problem could be that there hasn't been a "tune-up" done to the car in a long time. It could have some bad gas in it- ethanol blended gasoline will only survive for a month before it separates and that doesn't make for a happy engine until you burn it all up. There's nothing you can do to fix this but run a few tanks through the car. It could be other things also. The IACV sometimes doesn't act correctly after a car has been sitting for a while. The valve can stick, and not maintain idle. My guess would be fuel though. Dealers would be wise to fill-er-up before leaving the lot, and that would dilute bad fuel so that the car would act better until the bad fuel was used up. It could also be something as simple as a loose battery connection. Unless the mileage is up around 100k, I wouldn't think that the alternator was the problem.
It's hard to say for sure without being there to diagnose the problem. Keep taking it back and they will fix everything. 2010 Focis are a lot like my 05, and I didn't have to do anything to my 05 except what you'd expect- like brakes, struts, oil changes and so forth over 150k miles. The alternator went out around 120k, which is not abnormal for any vehicle. The accessory belt hadn't broken, but I changed it when I did the alternator- around 100k is about the life of an accessory belt.
2010 Focus - Brake and Engine Trouble
Purchased last Thursday. I'm a sucker.
I can feel some shaking in the brake pedal, and there's a hollow sound when driving and when breaking. After purchase, the dealer service dept. said the brakes had residue from sitting in the lot. They sanded the brakes to remove the residue.
Now, only the second day driving the car, every time I come to a stop the engine sputters and all the electronic devices (radio, turn signals) blank out for a second.
The dealer keeps saying he will fix these issues, but claims to not be able to find any issues.
It turned out the check I had written was written from the wrong account, so I told the dealer to take back the car. But the dealer threatened to cal the police, so I re-wrote a check.
Am I stuck with a lemon? Is it usual for brakes to make a hollow sound, and to feel the wheels shake/ the road through the brake and gas pedals?

JCplease promise that you'll change your avatar after holloween.Oct 31 cant come soon enough
And it never hurts to pick up an extra one or two from the little old lady down the street that wanted to get rid of them after her husband died. Whether you like Bush or not, and all other things set aside...for me, it was nice to not hear anything about gun control for the past 8 years. But that will quickly take center stage again.
Quote from: Jerrymac on October 29, 2008, 06:04:22 AMAnd just remember. All those with gun permits/license. They know where to find you.So are we supposed to give up because of that? Some of us have no choice but to register, because after all, we're not criminals - they don't bother.
Wasn't the Constitution written for the people, by the people? Just when did the people decide some branch of the government got to interpret it anyway?

Questions and answers of the customers
There are no questions yet, be the first to ask something for this product.
Fireplace Tiles
Original Victorian fireplace tiles are now over 100 years old, and have stood the test of time. Some are in better conditions than others but they still hold their value well.
Victorian tiles were as elaborate as they could be at first showing mostly floral arrangements. Slowly, other designs surfaced such as single coloured tiles, symmetrical designs with flowers in the centre, and even sets of a large 5 tile image.
Towards the later part of the Victorian period and the early Edwardian period, fireplace tiles got even more exciting with elegant Art Nouveau and art deco designs, which were hand painted and also tube line (raised), with some very vivid colours. Tiles were the Victorian / Edwardian 'TV ' of the day – rich colours and elegant interior designs so you were drawn into them especially when the fire was lit.
Today both original and reproduced tiles are used with antique fireplace inserts. There is no definite rule for which tiles go with which period fireplace, for example it is very common to see an Art Nouveau fireplace with plain Edwardian tiles or vice versa or a Victorian fireplace with Art Nouveau tiles. The choice is very much down to you and so almost anything goes.
This can be a difficult decision as original fireplace tiles are so very much more expensive, and although good enough for re-use, are rarely in perfect condition.
Reproduction tiles have many advantages, most obviously that they are in perfect condition. They usually have white or cream background which helps tremendously when planning your overall colour/design effect. Another benefit is that the reproduction tile range will offer many variations / shades of colour in the design itself; for instance there were very few original blues used in Victorian tiles where as reproduction tiles can be found in a full range of blue including softer shades.
We have an excellent selection of these tiles, and the manufacturers we use reproduce with careful attention to how the originals were made over 100 years earlier. For example the top glazed surface of an original tile was quite substantial, and this is faithfully reproduced by the better manufacturers of today. Also these quality makers can faithfully reproduce the designs of the original, often making it virtually impossible to detect that they are new.
Finally, a major advantage is the very reasonable price for which quality reproduction tiles can be purchased.
Original tiles are becoming increasingly rare. We have quite a collection of these and for the true traditionalist these are the only ones that will do! The colours chosen for original tiles were often quite vibrant – today's eye might find that the background and design colours 'argue' with each other (for example reds and oranges, or clashing shades of green and purple). This is in marked difference to the softer, more subtle tones we are used to seeing in decor nowadays.
However if it's authenticity you want, then the original you must have!

To help prevent endocarditis, make sure to practice good hygiene:
Certain dental and medical procedures may allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Antibiotics taken before these procedures can help destroy or control the harmful bacteria that may lead to endocarditis.
Because people with the following heart conditions are at risk of more-serious outcomes from endocarditis, they may need to take preventive antibiotics before certain medical or dental procedures to prevent endocarditis:
Antibiotics are recommended before only the following procedures:
Antibiotics are no longer recommended before all dental procedures or for procedures of the urinary tract or gastrointestinal system.
If you've had to take preventive antibiotics in the past before your dental exams, you may be concerned about these changes. In the past, you were likely told to get antibiotics because of a concern that common dental procedures increased your risk of endocarditis. But as doctors have learned more about endocarditis prevention, they've realized that endocarditis is much more likely to occur from exposure to random germs than from a standard dental exam or surgery.
This doesn't mean it's not important to take good care of your teeth through brushing and flossing. There is some concern that infections in your mouth from poor oral hygiene might increase the risk of germs entering your bloodstream. In addition to brushing and flossing, regular dental exams are an important part of maintaining good oral health.

Yesterday. For days, the chilling cold stopped me from going out, followed by delugious rain--day after day. Finally, on Saturday, although the sky was solid gray, the temperatures were rising into the 40s. So, I was off to the river.
First stop: The Yardley Boat Launch, on the Delaware. The river is breeching its banks, and the trees are uncomplainingly soaking their feet. Fog yesterday was just lying there, also enjoying a SPA day.
Grayness prevailed as far as the eye could see (not too very); the lonely Stars and Stripes provided the only welcome splash of color.
