I found this bulletin board while hunting for a Remington floor tile to match what my builder put in my house 9 years ago.
I'm searching for 8" x 8" 1/4" thick Remington ceramic tile (Ivory) 792614 96 (printed on the carton).
An old posting recommended contacting a company called Laufen. No luck there. Can anyone be of assistance?

website last updated 22 June, 2017
At our open meeting in June we had several visitors attracted by the opportunity to see and find out about Belly Dancing from teacher and expert of 13 years Victoria Strudwick of Sudbury.
This dance form has many styles and influences from years old, middle and eastern traditional to contemporary fusion styles taking influences from Indian, Flamenco and Tribal ethnic areas. Victoria explained that it evolved as dancing by, and with, other women for women and not as perceived by some today as erotic enticement for men. She showed us several different forms of handmade, elaborately decorated dresses with their brightly coloured, embellished belts, scarfs and headwear as well as playing a variety of music for some of the various styles.
The ladies were then left mesmerized as Victoria then demonstrated her particular speciality of American Tribal Fusion which is a non- choreographed form developed in the U.S.A. in the 1980's. She glided, swished, jangled beautifully across the floor whirling gracefully with every shape precise and delicate. The use of her hands and arms was particularly striking and then it was our turn!!! She patiently taught us some moves and shapes and techniques and everyone made a very good effort to match Victoria. It was full of laughs, free flowing, rhythmical and very exciting. It was great to see that some had a real aptitude for the movements and perhaps will look to continue this further later. Victoria was warmly thanked for such a lovely evening by all.

This is the first guinea pig I have ever owned. Any advice? I have a dog and cat a and small child. The Guinea has a cage with a tight lid. The dog thinks it is a new play friend. I haven't introduced it to the cat yet becase I know what it will think!
First of all, you should get your guinea pig a friend. Guinea pigs are sociable creatures and do not like living alone. If you have a girl, then that's easy, just get another girl. If you have a boy, it might be a bit trickier, but hopefully you will be able to find a friend of the same gender for him.
Both the dog and the cat should be kept away from the guinea pig, they will both be dangerous to it. When you get the guinea pig out to play, make sure the dog and cat are locked out of the room.
I have written a hub with a bit more advice, feel free to take a look.
About the only thing I can think of to add to lizmoss' advice is that guinea pigs react differently to viruses and such than humans do, and things like colds can be deadly to them. I don't know how old your kid is, but mine is in preschool and brings home a sniffle or worse about every week . Also, if your child is very young I'd suggest very, very close supervision for a while because guinea pigs are short-sighted and curious, so they often test things with their teeth, and many are easily frightened and they bite HARD when they're scared.
This is just a random piece of advice, don't put newspaper in its cage. I grew up with guinea pigs, and that was a mistake my sister made. Guinea pigs love to chew on anything you put in front of them, and the news print is toxic to them. Good luck with your new pet!
Whats his / her name?
Get it a bigger cage - most people put their animals in insufferably small cages
Unless you really, really, really know and trust your cat.....introducing the cat to the pig ain't a good idea. The pig might see friend, the cat will probably see entre'
Thanks for the info everyone. The Guinea Pig is named Brownie and my son loves it. I have heeded your warnings about letting my son hold it. Brownie is way to skiddish for him to hold yet. I did not know about the colds. My son is a preschooler so I will have to watch. I keep the cage up as my cat is unaware of the new housemate. My dog still thinks it is a playmate. I plan on getting a bigger cage an perhaps another Guinea pig as i have read they prefer company. I just love the sound Brownie makes when he is happy!
When my kids were in late high-school years, my elder daughter acquired a guinea pig, and shortly after, a second. They both had very large wire-mesh cages, and each had their own cage...but placed immediately next to the other, so they could visit.
The first was an Abbysinian...adorable with tufted rosettes in her fur. The second was a Peruvian...long-haired. They had to be kept apart unless supervised, as the Abby fancied herself a barber, and gave the other one 'haircuts.' LOL
We would let them out in a specially-prepared area, and since 'piggies' cannot be housebroken, we had an old scrap carpet remnant for the floor of their play area. We blocked off access to places like under the bed...and would build them 'mazes' to run through, using plain wood 'kindergarten building block.' They loved their playtime!
We would sit on the floor with them, to supervise, and try to keep 'the barber' away from Cocoa's 'bangs.' They would run figure-8's around our feet and legs as we sat.
From upstairs on the second floor, where they lived in daughter's room, they would hear the crinkle of the bag of lettuce being opened, and shout out loud "Wheeeeep! Wheeeep!" sounds demanding their treat. Carrots, lettuce, alfalfa cubes...all favorite treats.
We had them for about 6-½ years--fairly long lives for guinea pigs...but these two girls were loved and spoiled rotten!
They are marevelous little animals, and, given the chance, actually quite social, with very distinct personalites. Enjoy your new pet!!
Don't do like many people who only feed their guinea pig from a container. Build trust while taming by allowing your pet to eat from your hands now and then.
If it is a male guinea pig and you introduce another male guinea pig there is a good chance they will fight. Mostly when male guinea pigs get along together it is because they are brothers who have never lived separately.
Also guinea pigs are short sighted so do n't trust there judgement about places they might fall from; this includes hanging on to them as you put them back into their hutch or cage because held loosely they sort of do a 'take off' leap as they get near to their home base.
Guinea pigs once settled love being cuddled and the range of sounds they make is fascinating.
A few years ago I had two guinea pigs in my classroom at the school where I teach. They would come home for the holidays with me. They were good friends with each other and also liked to be cuddled by humans. I made an enclosed play area for them which they loved to explore when they weren't in their cage. They adored broccoli, and gave excited chirps whenever they saw me coming with broccoli in my hands.
A companion guinea pig, broccoli and playtime outside their cage kept our guinea pigs happy.
I loved my guinea pigs when I was younger. I made a purse to carry them around in, and would brush those rosettes til they were perfect. Handle them a lot so they get used to the interaction. I would probably have another, but they poop so darn much!
I have 4 guinea pigs now and love them and they get along great with my rabbit. Like the above info guinea pigs can catch the cold from us. So it's very important to make sure you feed them vegetables rich in Vitamin C like carrots, oranges or even their are drops you can add to their water for Vitamin C. Pine and aspen bedding worksbest because carefresh can be to dusty sometimes. So defintly not newspaper like the post above said. Also their are vitamin c fortified foods thatare great to.
I love the peruvian Guinea Pigs.. you need to comb their hairs too...but yes must be separated from dogs.
My shepard rotti mix loves my guinea pigs and will actually cuddle with them. It's funny the do need to be introduced slowly and with supervision. So not all dogs are mean toward guinea pigs
I have 6 guinea pigs. We adopted two girls and one was pregnant with 4 babies. You can find a lot of good information here:

Shawn Scannell has been dreaming of taking over the Absegami High School wrestling program since he graduated from Rider University in 2001.
His dream came true on Monday.
Scannell will take over for 33-year coach Gene Barber, while Mike Bult, a 1995 Absegami graduate, will coach the boys basketball team, replacing Greg Goodwin, the school announced Monday.
"It kind of always was a dream of mine to come out of college and be given the opportunity early to help out," Scannell said by telephone Monday evening. "Since then, it's (becoming head coach) been in the back of my mind the whole time. I learned a lot from Barber. He taught me a whole lot of inside tricks of what it takes to be a good head coach and I look forward to the future."
Scannell wrestled for the Braves from 1993-96 and has been an assistant coach for eight years. His first order of business was to "surround (him)self with great assistants", which he says Barber always stressed. Scott Roesch (whom he co-coaches boys tennis with), Mike Sykes, Jimmy Stevens and Jim Brown will be his assistants.
Bult, who transferred to Absegami before his junior year, was on the first Braves team to have a winning season. He averaged 13.3 points during his senior season. He's been an assistant for seven years.
Like Scannell, Bult says he learned a lot from his boss as well.
"He's been a good mentor, for sure. Over the last couple of years I just tried to grab all kinds of basketball principles and different ideas," Bult, who lives in Galloway Township, said Monday night.
Scannell, who now resides in Mays Landing, compiled a 107-13 record in a Braves singlet, including a 31-0 senior season in 1996, when he won the Region 8 and state championship at 171 pounds. He also was a three-time District 32 champion. In college, he earned All-America honors and was 102-27 for his career. In September he was inducted into the South Jersey Wrestling Hall of Fame.
"I take great pride in the program. My brother (Bob) wrestled for Absegami and there's many friends I'm still in touch with from my team," Scannell said.
"The school and program always treated me well. There is a great amount of tradition and it's in my heart. I'm brown and gold and that's the major reason I came back."

When people think of the word hacking, they automatically associate it with computers. But that is only a recent phenomenon. In the past the word hacker was associated with all kinds of different activities. As a matter of fact, the original computers hackers got their name from a MIT model train group who were known as hackers. But as you known now, the word is associated with computers more than anything else.
But being a computer hacker is only one side of the game. There are other types of hacking as well. But not just what we talked about the in the previous paragraph. There are other types that are in play today. One of the most well known alternative forms of hacking is known as social engineering, aka the social hack.
What is social engineering?
Social engineering has been an activity that has been going on for a long time. Way before computers came on the scene you had social engineering. Social engineering is the ability to get someone to do what you want without them even knowing it. You are making them do an activity that they would not normally do by your request. Some of the best social hackers cannot only request someone to do something for them; the best ones are able to make the person go way out of character to get the request done.
As we said this type of activity has been going on for a long time. But these days hackers able to mix the social part of hacking with the technology part and they are able to make money off of it. As a matter of fact, if you are good at both social hacking and technology based hacking then you are going to make a lot more money than if you were just good at one of them.
There are several reasons why this is true but the biggest reason is because people trust another human being more than they trust a machine. When you are on the computer, you are pretty much anonymous to the person. This already puts a person edge. They do not know you and they have already heard all of the horror stories out there. They have seen the television specials where someone is being robbed for all of their money through some kind of strange computer transaction. If they can possibly avoid it no one wants that to happen to them.
There are drawbacks in social engineering as well. As a social engineer you are able to get people to trust you easier. But since the person is in your presence you have to be more convincing than you would normally be on a computer. They are looking at you directly in your eyes. You cannot let them see behind the facade not even once. If you do then the scam is over.
But a person who is able to do the best of both worlds is able to make a lot of money. Let's show you an example. A social engineer could use their knowledge of tech to make it seem like they have a big business. Then when they then go to meet the person in real life the illusion to them is actually confirmed. They have everything that they need to feel confident enough to do business with you.
A person who is trying to safely do business on the web needs to worry about the many different ways that they can get in trouble. All of the attacks will not be online only. Antivirus software will not be able to save you from someone who is running both an online and offline hack.

He could hear the car door in the parking lot slam. His eyes flitted to the clock briefly, an old hand carved wooden deal, the kind with bears carved on the side. It was six in the afternoon and the sun was already over the mountain. Sighing, he leaned back in his chair, which gave him a perfect view of the parking lot. The woman stood next to her car, a black mustang, one of the older ones. He was never good with cars, but who cared? He could see the silvery horse emblem in the grill of the vehicle, which had been the dead give away.
The blonde next to the car was smoking a cigarette, obviously not in a hurry to check in. Her hair was short enough that the wind caught every wisp of it, blowing it past her face so he couldn't get a good look at her. He laughed to himself. If she had been wearing leather pants and a jacket to match, it would look like a scene from a bad action movie. The kind where she would flick her cigarette, pull a pistol from behind her jacket, then make her way down to cabin four where she would exterminate the men who had been hired to kill her. As it was, she was wearing a striped sweater and blue jeans, hardly good fair for an over the top action sequence.

It would seem there's a new Tony Stark on the horizon in the Marvel Comics world, and it will see a twisty new take on the old Tony.
In the early days of Tony's life, he was quite the party-goer, boozing it up and hitting up the ladies every which way he could. And it seems that starting in November, Tony will be reverting to his old ways. The ways that he used to carry on with before he was Iron Man.
The basis behind it all is that in the story, Tony has turned Extremis tech into a smartphone app and given it to the world.
And the new story, taking place in San Francisco, will include Daredevil.
The revamping of the Marvel Comic Universe is still in session. We have a new Captain America coming up, a new Thor coming up, and all kinds of uncertainty in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where actor contracts are starting to come to a close, making people wonder.
And these changes in the comic side of Marvel has me wondering exactly what's up? It this a standard retool or are they revamping in preparation for changes in the landscape of their movie realm?
Check out the press release below, and a few additional words on this whole set of character changes for those that the movies focus on.
New York, NY – July 17th, 2014 – Marvel is proud to announce the release of Superior Iron Man #1 by series writer Tom Taylor (Injustice: Gods Among Us) and series artist Yildiray Çinar (Supergirl). Beginning in November 2014, Tony Stark will give into his ego and return to his billionaire playboy roots of self-obsession and superficiality.
Senior Editor Mark "Panic" Paniccia says, "What's fun about Superior Iron Man is we get to see Tony Stark in a different mode. He's very much like he was before Iron Man's origin, before Tony became a Super Hero…a narcissistic, selfish profiteer. And Tom Taylor is having a blast with this personality, giving us an Iron Man that is bound to ruffle some fans' feathers but will secretly—I think—find to be a guilty pleasure."
"He's self-obsessed. Cunning. Superficial. Superior," explains writer Tom Taylor. "He has given Extremis to the people. Extremis can now be downloaded as a mobile app through any smart device in San Francisco and this creates Tony's idea of a Utopia, which he is very happy to be at the heart of. But not everyone is buying Tony's Paradise.
Superior Iron Man will also feature recent "City by the Bay" transplant – Daredevil!
"Daredevil may be blind but he can see the cracks in Stark's Brave New World," says Taylor. "In a way this is all an allegory for the technology that now rules our lives. The corruption that comes from this technology and the dependence we each have on it."
For more details on Superior Iron Man, All-New Captain America and Thor, visit the Avengers NOW! hub on Marvel.com for interviews with Rick Remender, Jason Aaron and more.
Superior Iron Man #1 will be available this November in all local comic book retailers and available in the Marvel Digital Comics Store.

Bnote: I'm not sure why everyone is making a big deal about it, but Captain America will be black and Thor will be a woman. OK, the gender change seems bigger than most character swaps, and I feel it's just a grab for more of the male demographic. I also find it interesting that these distinctions seem more important as headlines than anything else, so I thought I would add these superfluous tidbits in here.

What Do AM and PM Stand For?
- Tiden kommer eller går
- What Do AM and PM Stand For? AM stands for "ante meridiem", which means "before noon" in Latin, while PM stands for "post meridiem", which means "after noon" in Latin. Illustration image 12 AM and 12 PM are often used, but do not technically make sense. ©iStockphoto.com/Gordon Dixon 12-Hour Periods Most clocks today are 12-hour clocks – they divide the 24 hours in a day into two 12-hour periods. Ante meridiem: Before noon Between midnight (0:00) & noon (12:00) Post meridiem: After noon Between noon (12:00) & midnight (0:00) Ante meridiem is commonly denoted as AM, am, a.m. or A.M. while post meridiem is usually abbreviated to PM, pm, p.m. or P.M. Each hour during the day, except midnight and noon, is suffixed by am or pm to identify whether the hour being referred to is in the morning, afternoon or evening. Hours Passed Since Midnight A 24-hour clock displays the time as the hours passed since midnight. So, 23:00 hours on a 24-hour clock on February 15, means 23 hours have passed since midnight of February 15. The 24-hour time format is also sometimes known as military time. Ancient Origins The Egyptians are thought to be responsible for dividing the day into 24 equal parts. One account suggests that this is because the Egyptians used the base 12, since they counted the 3 joints in their fingers, not including the thumb. Other accounts point towards the use of a system of 36 groups of stars, called decans by the Egyptians to tell time at night. The star groups in the decans tend to rise in the sky 40 minutes after one another. 12 pm or Noon? Technically, 12 pm does not make sense, since it is not after noon. Similarly, 12 am does not make much sense either, since it is not before noon. It is recommended to refer to these hours as midnight and noon. Note: Most digital clocks tend to show 12 am and 12 pm to specify midnight and noon, respectively. Midnight Confusion If you were asked to pick up a friend at the airport at midnight of April 13, when would you go to pick her up – midnight at the beginning of April 13, or midnight at the end of April 13? Time Formats 12-hour 24-hour 12:00 (Midnight) 0:00 (beginning of the day) or 24:00 (end of day) 12:01 am 0:01 1:00 am 1:00 2:00 am 2:00 3:00 am 3:00 4:00 am 4:00 5:00 am 5:00 6:00 am 6:00 7:00 am 7:00 8:00 am 8:00 9:00 am 9:00 10:00 am 10:00 11:00 am 11:00 12:00 (Noon) 12:00 12:01 pm 12:01 1:00 pm 13:00 2:00 pm 14:00 3:00 pm 15:00 4:00 pm 16:00 5:00 pm 17:00 6:00 pm 18:00 7:00 pm 19:00 8:00 pm 20:00 9:00 pm 21:00 10:00 pm 22:00 11:00 pm 23:00 Referring to midnight can sometimes be confusing, because it could be taken to mean as midnight at the beginning of a day or midnight at the end of the day. Technically, it is the time when the date changes from the previous date to the next date. One way to overcome this problem is to refer to the time as 12:01 am, April 13 or 11:59 pm April 13 depending on the time you are referring to. Or use the 24-hour clock format to refer to the time. For instance, if your friend asked you to pick her up at 00:00 on April 13, you shuld be at the airport at the beginning of April 13, while if she told you to pick her up at 24:00 on April 13, you must be at the airport at the end of April 13. AM or PM to 24-Hour Clock You can convert am or pm time to time on a 24-hour Clock by using these rules. From midnight to 12:59 am, subtract 12 hours. 12:49 am is 12:49 – 12 = 0:49 From 1 am to noon, do nothing. 11:49 am is 11:49 From 12:01 pm to 12:59 pm, do nothing. 12:49 pm is 12:49 From 1:00 pm to midnight, add 12 hours. 1:49 pm is 1:49 +12 = 13:49 24-hour Clock to AM or PM Here's how you can convert time on a 24-hour Clock to am or pm. From 0:00 (midnight) to 0:59, add 12 hours, and am after the time. 0:49 is 0:49 + 12 = 12:49 am From 1:00 to 11:59, just add am after the time. 11:49 is 11:49 am From 12:00 to 12:59, just add pm after the time. 12:49 is 12:49 pm From 13:00 to 0:00, subtract 12 hours, and add pm after the time. 13:49 is 13:49 -12 = 1:49 pm Topics: Timekeeping, Clocks

text: I have sat through all the 50, 60 and 70 point hidings through the years, but have never felt what I have watching this tonight, it has been horrendous Normally I am yelling etc, tonight just sitting there numb Game plan ???? I haven't seen one, other than Melbourne pressure the kicker, so everyone bar Orford have a kick As a type this, we are all over them on attack, and it means nothing other than the fact that the dreaded 40-0 against us I saw coming will not now eventuate and we can't be hammered over that by the Storm Khunts Matai has been outstanding yet again in a big game, G. Stewart has been enormous in defence, Kite has gone well since coming back on and Hargreaves has been pretty good as well. B. Stewart a couple of nice tackles Orford, simply horrendous tonight. I don't recall a worse halfback game from a Manly player. Maybe it was a tactic in the 1st half to negate the kick pressure on him for the others to kick, so I can forgive that. But the running of the attack has been awful. Our most potent move is the ball out the back to Stewart. We have used it once, when Matai scored. We can't overplay that option enough it is that potent, but it was non existent We may as well chuck a line through Lyon for the year now. As I type this the siren goes, 40-12. Gutting. As much as I hate to say it, that performance from Melbourne reminded me of us week 1 last season All we can do now, is hope that the Titans, Dogs and Dragons get up, and then all is not looking as bad as it seems at the moment. We travel to Gold Coast which would be the favoured option left, while Brisbane and Melbourne battle and a big gun is gone. The Dragons made a semi after being flogged by melbourne week 1 1999 so the precedent is there To finish, if I was the coach, I would have been sending a message out there to Cuthbo or JWH, to put a big hit, legal or not, on 1 or more of Slater, Inglis or Smith, with them hopefully not being required next week and not with us next season

2010 was a year of much learning for me as I took on my first year of in-ground gardening with vegetables. Up until then I had for the most part only grown tomatoes in pots, so I had a lot to learn in order to get a new vegetable garden going. We also needed a proper fence to keep animals out, which my husband built for me; here's the post with a picture tutorial on the fence he put up. I decided I wanted to try a fairly large variety of plants in order to learn what I would enjoy working with, and what would end up with a good yield for me. While planning, there were several big questions: What to do in order to put in a garden in the first place, which vegetables to choose, and how to plant and grow them. It seemed like a daunting project!! But after studying one plant at a time, I found that it was quite doable after all!
I will do a quick break-down in this post on each plant and why I did or didn't enjoy growing them. Later I will go through and describe in more detail things I have learned along the way on some of these plants, and some handy tips to be aware of. Some helpful links will be found in this post.
Tomatoes was a given, so I planted a ton of plants from seed, kept some of the stronger ones, pulled the weak ones, and gave the rest away to friends and family. Giving away plants, some of which ended up growing to the height of a grown man, was very fun and satisfactory in itself. Later I had the pleasure of giving away fresh, vine ripe tomatoes to other friends. How I enjoyed the experience of planting seeds, and see them grow, be able to share with others, and then harvest delicious fruit to enjoy! (Tomatoes are fruits, not vegetables, of course. I think most people know that by now. If they have seeds inside them, they are considered fruit.) Here's a link to part 1 of my tomato tutorials, all of which have been very helpful to a lot of people.
To the far right, you can see the young plants soon after I transplanted them. The vertical strip to the left is potatoes, and the next one over, carrots. There is something planted at every white little marker. The season was just starting, and there was much anticipation involved.
Other plants I grew this first year were: Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, green beans, potatoes, carrots, bell and jalapeño peppers, chives, parsley, dill, basil, leeks, scallions / green onions, romaine lettuce, spinach, strawberries (in a separate section) and sun flowers. Some of these I planted again in 2011, and some I decided against, which included: corn, cabbage, broccoli (will do again in 2012), dill, leeks, and sunflowers. Instead, I added garlic, and a lot more of the plants I enjoyed the most, such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans.
Cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower are closely related vegetables. They also will attract the same worms! Amazing where these critters come from, out of nowhere! How did they know I was planning on growing these veggies??? But they came almost as soon as the plants were in, and they invited their friends. Which wasn't a problem as long as I kept spraying with Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew, which is a spray containing spinosad. This product is considered acceptable for organic gardening and works very well at keeping them away. Though I do not grow vegetables completely organic, I have so far never had to use chemical sprays other than those meant for organic gardening. As seen in my post Herbs & Flowers to Naturally Control & Deter Pests you can also read about natural pest control that I have tried.
But I regress: Broccoli was fun to do, and these plants continue to produce a lot of small florets throughout the season if spaced well apart. Cabbage went well, though since we have never been big cabbage eaters, and the rest of the family was not really in favor of increasing our use of it, I decided cabbage would leave my list. Now, my cauliflower plants: they didn't even make it to the ground! Grown from seed, I had them in little pots inside while studying and learning, and when I found out how tricky these plants can be, and how great the frustration for the grower, I decided I didn't want to deal with it. So they never made it past 3 inches before I decided their time was up. Very finicky plants, I learned, and if they go through any kind of stress, weather related or watering, they will bolt and decide they're done. The flower part of it will simply stop growing even if they are no larger than a walnut. Who wants to deal with that??? I'll buy mine at the store, and let someone else take that load.
Oh my goodness! We've never had a problem with raccoons before, but now all of a sudden it seemed like they had decided our yard was their new vacation place! And the thing about it is, they didn't bother the plants at all for a while, not until the corn was almost ripe, and that's when they made their move. Notice I said almost ripe. That part is important because it means that the raccoons helped themselves before the corn was ripe enough for us to use. And not just helped themselves nicely, noooo! It was pure vandalism! That's when we installed electric wiring around the top of our garden fence, after first trying a few other methods, all of which had failed. But with electric wiring, they decided they'd rather raid a different garden. In a separate area I planted about 100 plants a little later, and for whatever reason, only 10% of them yielded any at all. So that was a lot of wasted work and space. In addition, these are large plants, and they do drain the soil of a lot of nutrition. All in all, I decided corn wasn't for me. Maybe some day I will try again, but being that they are so cheap to purchase at the store, I will get them there for now.
Here you can see some of the damage from the raccoons; some plants were completely tipped over, on other plants the ears were shredded or torn off.
Green beans
Green beans have been an easy crop to grow and I have ended up growing them every year. I just won't go crazy, like in 2011: After going on vacation, we came back to a forest of plants and beans! The sheer sight of it and the harvesting job I knew I had ahead of me was completely overwhelming! It was way too much and I have been more careful since then.
Green beans are easy and enjoyable to grow, and they yield quite well. I cut and blanch them and put them in bags in the freezer to enjoy throughout the entire winter season. They can also be planted quite tightly together, which is part of why I overdid it, but the good news is that you can cram a lot of plants into a tiny space if space is limited. They literally use each other for support and still produce a lot of beans. Here's a post with pictures to help you along if you want to try your hand at growing green beans: Planting and Growing Green Beans in the Home Garden.
Potatoes were a lot of fun, and quite easy! I did get a bit riled up over how diseased these plants looked later in the season, and tried in vain to treat them with organic sprays to keep disease at bay until my dear neighbor told me that this is typical and nothing to worry about. They simply are plants that often get a myriad of diseases and that's OK. I thought my potatoes would have all kinds of problems as well, but they were for the very most part completely fine! The following year I didn't treat them at all, and still the potatoes themselves were of great quality. One confusing part was when they started to die off; they looked so terribly sick, like they were attacked by something devastating. But this is a natural process and simply means the potatoes will soon be ready to dig. Click this link to see pictures and learn about it; in this post are also links to my other popular picture tutorials on potatoes and how to plant, grow, and harvest them.
They look so nasty, don't they? They're starting to die off, and potatoes can be dug at this point, or stay in-ground to harden off for winter storage:
Ugly tops, but then, under ground, great things are happening!
Potatoes, I found, were not too difficult to grow; they require a bit of hilling now and again (pushing soil up against the plants), and digging to harvest, but I thought it was so very rewarding to go out there and dig today's potatoes for dinner! Another plus is that they do not need to be harvested all at once, but can be left in-ground throughout the fall or winter, depending on your climate. Mine had to be dug before winter set in, as the ground in my zone freezes.
Carrots were fun as well, but I did learn that they should NOT be seeded inside first and transplanted later. Here's why; just look at this funky guy, ready to go dancing:
Though we did get a few laughs, we do prefer carrots that are a bit easier to brush clean. These were directly seeded outdoors:
Carrots can be very tricky to get to sprout, but I have found that the most important factor in my gardening is even moisture in the first two weeks until the plants have grown just a little bit. The first year they came up right away and I had no problems. Summer of 2011, however, I tried three times in the early season, and the first two times they did not come up at all. The third time I made sure to go out several times a day to water just a tad, to keep the soil moist, and this time they did sprout. Unfortunately, just as the fragile tips started showing, we left to go on vacation and that was the end of that. Though they were watered while we were gone, it seemed they needed constant watering in the beginning, so I really had to be home to be able to do that. They also require gentleness in other areas, but I still love growing them and grow several sections every year. To learn how to successfully grow carrots, see How to Grow Carrots From Seed to Harvest. Tips & Pictures.
I will touch on the rest of the plants I planted in the following post, Vegetable Gardening -Which Plants to Choose, Part 2.
As mentioned above, the summer of 2012 I focused on how to use flowers and herbs as a way of controlling pests in the garden, finding more ways to avoid pesticides and other chemicals. It sure was an interesting experiment! Here's a link to this post, which goes into some details of the plants I found the most fascinating, and why I will or will not continue to plant them. I hope to see you there!
I hope this post has helped you get an idea of what to do to and how to plan for a new vegetable garden, and which plants you may want to choose to get you going with planting and growing. Have fun!!

The Mysterious Jolie-Pitt Twins Emerge For A Shopping Trip
Ever since Angelina Jolie gave birth to her twins three years ago, they've been hidden away from our prying eyes. While we've seen the occasional glimpse of Vivienne and Knox in large ensemble family travel photos, we've never really seen them up close. Unlike Angie and Brad's older children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, who are name brand celebrity children on the level of Suri Cruise and Violet Affleck, the twins lead the life of a recluse and despite them already being three, I know nothing about them. At this age I already knew Shiloh's fashion icon was Avril Lavigne and that Suri Cruise insisted on traveling via charter jet or unicorn.
But yesterday, in an unprecedented move, Angie took Vivienne and Knox shopping with her mother-in-law Jane in Beverly Hills. And it looks like all the time away from the paparazzi turned the twins into the happiest Jolie-Pitt children yet. Either Vivienne's truly estatic at the idea of shopping with her mother or she's auditioning for a Crest White Strips commercial. In all my years of stalking celebrity children, I've never seen such a genuine smile.
Oh and Vivi, don`t think I didn`t notice that right leg popping up in that photo. Like mother, like daughter!

In chapters 7-9 Describe how Bilbo's plan to escape by defining which parts depend on luck and which on Bilbo's intelligence.
- print Print
- list Cite
One of the many difficulties that Thorin's company find themselves in is that King Thranduil of the Woodelves locks the dwarves in his dungeon after he catches them wandering through Mirkwood forest. Bilbo, however, is not caught by the elvenking's guards because he slyly slips on his magic ring of invisibility and remains undetected. He follows the group into Thranduil's mountain-side palace and later locates the dwarves locked into cells deep in Thranduil's dungeons. At this point in the adventure, Bilbo demonstrates both luck and resourcefulness; his cleverly constructs a plan for the dwarves' stealthy escape, but he also has his fair share of luck when the guards drink too much wine and fall asleep, thus allowing Bilbo to steal their set of keys!
This is a moment in the adventure when Bilbo really starts to come into his own. He single-handedly defeated the over-sized spiders in Mirkwood, he hatches an elaborate and effective escape plan entirely on his own, and he oversees the plan to fruition and success, ultimately saving the entire quest! Through these deeds, Bilbo transitions from his earlier needy, helpless role to a much bolder, adventurous hobbit in charge of his own destiny.

Video footage featuring a shark, which some believe to be a white shark, swimming around in the ocean near Malibu, California is making the rounds on the local news outlets in the Los Angeles area. The quality of the raw shark footage video isn't the greatest (there is a link for it at MyFoxLA.com). It certainly appears that it could be a white shark, but I'm not sure how one could be absolutely positive of the species based on the video footage. Given the size and silhouette seen in the video, if I had to venture a guess, I'd go with white shark. However, KTLA.com quotes Julie Scardina from Sea World as saying that the shark could be a mako. If it is a great white, it isn't exactly groundbreaking news that a white shark would be observed in the area. Despite Scardina's statement that "typically, white sharks are found further north," white sharks are certainly no strangers to Southern California.
The video was shot by photographer Dave Ogle near Pepperdine University, from a helicopter. At one point (which can be seen in the raw footage) another helicopter hovers so low over the shark that the water is visibly disturbed around the animal. I'm not really sure what the point of that maneuver was, although it appeared like an attempt to harass the shark.
NBC Los Angeles also ran a piece on the sighting…
All in all, I feel like the media outlets that are covering this story did a relatively decent job of not demonizing the animal. While the reports do have a few shark cliches, they manage not to get too over-the-top. Thankfully, I haven't seen any reports on this event that automatically assume the shark was in the area looking to eat people.
Sarcasm aside for the moment, I fully support the media reporting a large shark being spotted near any recreational beach area. I understand why the shark sighting in Malibu is newsworthy, especially in light of last year's fatal attack on David Martin further down the coast, off Solana Beach. The sarcasm is directed toward the degree of "surprise" that is presented in some of the reports on the presence of the shark, as if it is some bizarre event that a large shark would possibly be swimming within a quarter-mile of the shore of a Southern California beach. As county lifeguard Capt. Terry Harvey put it best, "It's their home"

When tapping a new offshore well, companies initially need to know the quality of the well, such as how much oil, water, gas, brine etc exists within it.
High quality viscosity data is critical for key reservoir characteristics such as hydrocarbon volume, production/ injection rates, and recovery potential.
This information allows operations to know what it will take to get the crude out of the well, e.g. determining pump and pipe sizes and get it into transport vessels or onto land based operations. They also are able to determine the quality of the oil find (percent of oil, brine, water etc) and what they can sell once it is pumped out and refined.
Typical offshore rigs drill to 10,000 – 15,000 foot depths. However, with increased demand, offshore operations are drilling at deeper and deeper depths, which then increase the pressure the well is under. For instance, in the Gulf of Mexico off the US and Mexico coasts, new wells are being dug at 25,000 – 35,000 foot depths which have pressures in the range of 25,000 – 30,000 psi.
Now offshore companies are faced with the challenge of extracting crude oil at extreme depths and very high pressures. Since it is very expensive to capture sample fluids from these wells, only small volumes of oil are extracted for evaluation. Samples often include corrosive fluids and are under high pressures which affect fluid and gas behaviour.
Since many tests need to be performed on the samples captured, the smallest volume necessary to measure the viscosity is very important since once a sample is tested that sample volume cannot be used for other testing. Therefore, offshore operations need to be able to accurately measure the viscosity of the oil at high pressure with a very small amount of sample.
The VISCOlab PVT, available from industrial instrumentation and calibration specialist AMS Instrumentation, is a high-pressure viscometer which has an embedded SPL443 sensor to provide accurate viscosity measurements for gas and crude oil at high pressures, up to 30,000 psi as a special option. It also provides statistical certainty that ensures sample conditions are stable, accurate, and repeatable through standard deviation calculation and temperature change monitoring.
In addition to high accuracy and small sample usage, the VISCOlab PVT is extremely easy to use since sample handling occurs direct from the pressure vessel or via pressure generator making it much simpler than the labour-intensive processes required by other high-pressure viscometers.
With the addition of higher rated valves, tubing and materials, the VISCOlab PVT lend itself to these high pressures and caustic environments and only requires 6ml of sample.
Test measurements from the VISCOlab PVT with the 30,000 psi option showed good correlation to NIST reference viscosity values with errors under 2 per cent. Measurements were performed with dodecane under high pressure and temperature conditions, up to 150°C and 30,000psi.
The VISCOlab PVT has been highly regarded within industry as an high pressure viscosity measurement instrument for more than 10 years.

Food 52
I just added Food 52 to my blog roll. I met with the founders of this site this past week. I really like what they are doing.
Food 52 is essentially a community of home cooks. You can submit your recipes or just comment. There are weekly contests for the recipe of the week which is becoming a cookbook. What I like more than anything is that Amanda and Merrill ( who is the smarts behind this site ) curate everything. They actually pick from the recipes that are submitted and make them. So the site isn't noisy. It is clean and precise. It is a bottom-up approach. Super smart.
Both Amanda and Merrill love food, are writers and get the new media world. There is also a shop on the site which only gives you the best of the best. A great tool.
Worth a daily check in. And if you are so inclined, submit a recipe or two.

Nike+ Run This Town
Art Direction / Design
To engage and activate the Nike+ running community, we created a seasonal campaign that allowed runners to compete with each other via Twitter and Facebook. 'Run This Town' is a Nike+ mission where runners hashtag their Nike+ run based on location. By using #newyork or #paris when sharing your run to Facebook and Twitter, you automatically log the miles and start competing. A leaderboard on nike.com allowed runners to check their standing and compare their progress with their friends. Personalized social badges were distributed to runners via Nike's Twitter account as they completed certain achievements along the way.
Design team: Rasmus Wangelin, Adam Boyette & Kristine Salm.
Contributors to this project include: Sammi Needham, Albert Patton, and Joanna Crean.

We generate desperately needed funds for charities chosen by our volunteers.
Our primary social-good goal is to raise as much money as possible for charities chosen by our volunteers through our unique social enterprise model.
When we were founded our 10-year fundraising goal was to raise £500,000 for charities by the end of 2017. We are extremely proud to have met this goal two years ahead of schedule, having raised over £600,000 by the end of our 2014/15 operational year.
In practice this meant that last year: our most popular charity received £7,420, 46 volunteers raised over £1,000, 97 volunteers raised over £500 and our top volunteer raised over £3,800!
Our Impact on Charities
Last year the average amount donated to the charities chosen by our volunteers was £990; the testimonials below provides some insight into the difference OxFizz donations have made to a few of our charities:
"Our partnership with Oxfizz had seen Prayog raise a total of £4000 through the contributions of 3 members. This not only helped to secure our targets for fundraising, but also ensured that the society had funds to deal with the unforeseen circumstances such as the dissolution of the start‐up company in question. The Oxfizz partnership has also ensured that we have seed money so that we can plan a more impactful project in the year to come." Prayog
"I am writing to express our gratitude to OxFizz and your volunteers for supporting KEEN for another year. Donations such as these are absolutely essential for the ongoing survival of KEEN, which has no guaranteed rolling funding. With your help we will be able to match our success last year, where KEEN brought together 140 Oxfordshire children and young people with special needs with more than 330 volunteers for a diverse array of sporting and social activities" KEEN Oxford
"Thank you for the generous donation of £3765 following your voluntary involvement with OxFizz. OxFizz sounds like a fantastic concept and it is a real honour to be your chosen charity. The £3765 raised through your voluntary role will contribute to our family grants project. In total your contribution will fund 75 hours of therapy at Footsteps Centre." Footsteps Foundation
"Thank you for your very kind donation of £1506.24. We are so glad you have chosen, and continue to choose, to support our charity. Without donations of this kind Oxford Nightline would struggle to find funding
to survive. This fantastic amount of money will enable us to meet our running costs for next term." Nightline
"Thank you for your kind donation of £1,631.76 in support of the ARK Schools Music Programme. Once again, heartfelt thanks for fundraising on behalf of ARK Schools. We're all so proud of you and grateful for your continued hard work and dedication." ARK Schools Music Team
"As a charity that has been working to increase educational participation and engagement among children in Oxford for whom English is an additional language for over 50 years, Jacari has been very grateful for the tremendous amount of time and effort OxFizz volunteers have given on our behalf. This year alone donations to Jacari generated by volunteering with OxFizz have exceeded £7000, which has played a key role in allowing us to recruit and train 110 new volunteers from Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University to provide weekly home tutoring to just under 300 children. As a small charity with one employee it is easy to appreciate the value and impact a donation of this size from OxFizz has on a charity like Jacari, with less time spent on generating funds this year we were able to spend more time focusing on providing a quality service to the children we support. Thank you, OxFizz!" Jacari
"We have just heard the wonderful news that you have raised funds of well over £3,000 for the Oxford Food Bank through your work with OxFizz this summer. Because we receive our food from suppliers free of charge and our running costs are kept to a minimum we are able to provide around £20 of food to other charities around Oxford for every £1 we receive in donations. Your efforts equate to us supplying nearly £70,000 worth of food to less fortunate members of our local community, and in the process reducing food waste by the same amount! Once again, many thanks for your extremely generous contribution which is greatly appreciated by everyone here at OFB." Oxford Food Bank
Praise for OxFizz's innovative model
At the RBS SE100 Index 2012, OxFizz was judged the UK's fastest growing educational social enterprise and the UK's fourth fastest growing social enterprise. Here are a few commendations of our work:
"I was very interested to hear about the dynamic work of OxFizz and its innovative method of encouraging volunteering and raising funds. Many charities, and in particular smaller charities, struggle to raise funds, so the pioneering work of OxFizz is welcome. In addition, the OxFizz internship programme offers invaluable experience for young people interested in working in the third sector. The training, seminars and placements OxFizz offers help to develop the key skills that will both encourage talented young people to work for a charity, and boost their employability."
Stuart Etherington - Chief Executive, National Council for Voluntary Organisations
"OxFizz is social entrepreneurship at its best. A sustainable and replicable business model designed to meet specific needs in the community"
David Verey - Chairman, The Art Fund

What if you Are Tired of Your Mural, but Still Love your Decorative Finish?
This month we are featuring a blog from painter Mario Guertin of Painting in Partnership, Inc. Read more on this project where they updated an older wall mural but kept the finish the client loved!
What if you Are Tired of Your Mural, but Still Love your Decorative Finish?
A client from the North Shore of Chicago recently had a problem with the decorative finishing in her living room. The problem was two-fold: she was tired of her fifteen-year old trompe l'oeil mural, but still loved the strie texture and softly mottled glazed finish on her walls. She was also looking to change the color of the wall from a blueish green to a yellowish green. The main challenges were to make the mural completely disappear, including its painterly texture, and recreate the strie texture in the surrounding walls.
A strie finish is a traditional finish that is generally created by dragging a brush, a comb or steel wool through a glaze, thereby creating a vertical or horizontal pattern (sometime both). In this case, the strie pattern was created not by dragging a comb through a glaze, but the basecoat instead, which made for a very subtle texture. In order to prevent the finish from closing back on itself, we had to thicken the basecoat with an additive. To complete the finish, we softly mottled a white glaze over the wall surfaces. The overall effect was subtle and beautiful, as shown in the after pictures. The old look of her living room was faithfully recreated, with the modifications the client had requested.
Matching a decorative finish can be daunting task, especially old finishes. The original paints are no longer to be found, even if they were still usable. Additionally, the technology of paint has greatly evolved, which means that today's products do not perform the same way. In our painting and decorating company, we are committed to using our knowledge and skill to meet the challenges of projects such as these.

The year is 1978. Ares Ramirez, age 12, lives with his mother, Laurel, and his younger brother Malcolm in a trailer at the edge of the Salton Sea, an unintentionally man-made body of water in the middle of the Southern California desert. It is a desolate, forgotten place, whose inhabitants thrive amidst seemingly impossible circumstances.
Where birds fly by day across the desert sky, by night government fighter planes and helicopters make training runs using live ammunition, and an anonymous dead body floats in from the sea. These events inspire Ares, on the cusp of his adolescence, to enact elaborate fantasies of mortal combat. His membership in a troubled family marks Ares as a casualty of a different kind of war. Malcolm, age 7, is mentally handicapped, and his mother chooses not to do anything about it.
Ares' struggle with the burden of responsibility -- to himself and to others -- draws him into a world of drugs, violence, and sex that he is not prepared for, launching him into a very personal battle for his own identity, one that has a lethal outcome.
