The Naked Spur (1953): Ralph Meeker, Robert Ryan, Janet Leigh, and Two Old Crazy Guys
So, I have a lot to say. In fact, I ACTUALLY TOOK NOTES WHILE WATCHING THIS FINE FILM. I wrote random musings and quotes in my Kindle (name: Percy) as it went; but, apparently, I titled the notes with Broken Arrow instead of The Naked Spur. No idea why. I've never even seen Broken Arrow. JIMMMMYYY! *shakes fist*
And that brings me to why I have so much to say. I mean, I often have a lot to say. But, then I'm so lazy -- I never write it up. And, one would think that I really wouldn't need to blog this movie, because I did watch it with my mum. I really should have gotten all of my thoughts out while the movie was going.
My mum put a strict no-mocking-of-Jimmy-Stewart-in-any-way condition on the viewing of the movie. She threatened to walk out, if I so much as coughed bemusedly.
I was dying, so I furiously typed all of my Jimmy-thoughts into Percy. Some of them were more immature than others (I may have described him as a twerp at one point), but I had to get my feelings out somehow.
Anyway. The intelligent critique of Jimmy Stewart will not make up the main part of this review -- not at all.
How could it? I'm gonna be too busy seriously fangirling over the greatness of Ralph Meeker and Robert Ryan. And, also discussing Janet Leigh's underrated strength as an actress.
Without further ado. (Expect spoilers!)
Can we stop for a quick minute (and by a quick minute, I mean the rest of the post) and talk about Ralph Meeker.
"Morally unstable." :')
That actual perfection of a mustache.
^If you guessed that he was actually twirling his mustache, you would be correct.
Oh, and the evil smile.
And, guhhhh, he was so great.
My mother has no appreciation for him. She kept going on and on about Jimmy Stewart being a "conflicted hero" (False. He was a weakling villain), yet when I suggested that Ralph Meeker was a conflicted hero -- this was her response: "No, he's just a creep." Seriously. HOW COULD SHE SAY THAT ABOUT THIS MAN?!
Ralph was seriously so great and fun and cheerful and a bit of hooligan. And, I'm almost certain he thought he was the lost Maverick brother (and/or trying out for a different Roy Huggins production).
And, oh my gosh. MORALLY UNSTABLE.
And the beautiful way that he jumped onto his horse. *tears*
(Nope, nope, nope. I did not make a gif of Ralph Meeker jumping on a horse. Nope.)
Okay, okay. I'm gonna move on now. I don't want you to think that this movie was JUST about a beautifully mustached, morally unstable Lieutenant.
Because, it was also had a perfect villain with a jauntily placed hat (all real villains have jauntily placed hats).
Robert Ryan is a huge favorite of mine. He's just so great in everything. I could never watch him enough. I remember being on a flight to London through Air Canada, and they had Men of War as part of their in-flight entertainment and I nearly died. It was a beautiful moment. (But, seriously though. Don't fly Air Canada. They are terrible.)
Robert Ryan's character is evil and brilliant and sooo smooth. Near the beginning, he actually appears to be more of a sympathetic character than our so-called protagonist. (I would submit that he is still more sympathetic -- even after killing the old guy -- because, if we are honest with ourselves, we all wanted that old guy gone.) And, as he slowly works on everybody -- PERFECTION.
Key line of coolness: "I remember what suits me." OH SNAP.
This brings me to Janet Leigh. Janet Leigh was a hugely talented actress. I don't think she ever gets her deserved acclaim, but she had a peculiar ability to make an emotional connection with the audience very quickly. (This is really why she is so effective in Psycho.) And this is also why she is so good here. She is given really very little to work with. Her character is basically just used as plot device, and she is treated as a prop throughout. BUT, SHE'S SO GOOD. I only wish that the movie had ended with her going off to be a strong, independent woman -- because the romance with Jimmy Stewart was hilariously non-credible and unnecessary and inexplicable. At least she got to be the catalyst to change her's and everyone else's outcomes (well, except old Jesse. But as we have established, literally no one cares).
Which reminds me, WHY WAS JIMMY STEWART NECESSARY?! Ralph Meeker's character did all the work. He captured Robert Ryan in the first place, and he killed Robert Ryan, and he went after the body. AND HE SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED TO GO OFF INTO THE SUNSET AND CONTINUE TO BE GLEEFULLY DISREPUTABLE, BUT HE WAS MORALLY UNSTABLE AND THEY KILLED HIM IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES AND WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO THE PEOPLE I LOVE. WHY CAN'T I HAVE NICE THINGS. WHY DOES DAVID JANSSEN ALWAYS DIE IN THE LAST FIVE MINUTES. WHY.
My mother laughed hysterically, as I screamed, "NOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO!"
She also chuckled while saying, "There goes $5,000." My mum's heart is two sizes too small.
Also, Jimmy Stewart was super quick to say that everyone's dead. He didn't even check on Ralph. He may have just been knocked unconscious. But, nope. Jimmy didn't care and just left him and that's just so not cool. HOPE YOU GET HAUNTED BY AN EVILLY SMILING, MUSTACHED GHOST, MISTER!
As much as I mock Jimmy Stewart, I can admit to times when he is a good actor. There are times, I am sure. Some days, even, I wake up and think, maybe today I will like Jimmy Stewart (note: I think in Charles Boyer's voice).
But, that day does not come when I am watching this movie.
He was uncharacteristically shouty and deranged (mostly uncharacteristically). I don't know if he suddenly realized that he was being out-charisma'd by Ralph Meeker and Robert Ryan and tried to counter-act that by darting his eyes around crazily and screaming. In any case, it was rather bad.
His screaming was ridiculous. The far-away look in his eyes as he talked about cattle was hilarious. And the way he fell down cliffs was just so amusing. I couldn't stop laughing on the inside.
I think my favorite scene was when he was calling out for "Mary, Mary!" And, it sounded just like he says it in It's a Wonderful Life (I really wanted him to mutter something about Zuzu's petals under his breath) and I may or may not have concocted an elaborate back-story where this is an alternate universe IAWL and Mary traipsed off without him and happily married Sam Wainwright.
Also, Jimmy was definitely wearing Kid Curry's coat. ROY HUGGINS, YOU ARE EVERYWHERE.
At least Ralphie didn't die 'till the end. I would have missed his lovely shenanigans. I was definitely rooting for him + Janet (I'm only joking, I know that he was terrible human being). I mean, if it had been reversed and it was he instead of Jimmy at the end -- things would have been different. First, he obviously would have just taken Robert Ryan and cashed him in. But, if for some reason, he was persuaded not to -- he definitely wouldn't have buried him. He would have just thrown him into any nearby canyon ala Big House, U.S.A. (classic Meeker).
No use crying over what can never be.
Goodbye morally unstable, evil smiling sir.
I actually had this written in my notes: "So smiley." I think I was referring to Ralphie, but it really works for both him and Robert Ryan. I have a terrible (literally; this is literally terrible) weakness for evil smiles. I mean, I HAVE A TAG FOR EVIL SMILES.
Look at this photo. Imagine the brilliance of this movie, minus the two crazy old guys (I swear if Jesse calls Janet "girlie" one more time, I'll-- oh, wait, nevermind, Robert Ryan beat me to it!):
Anyway, I quite like Anthony Mann and he did a beautiful job with this movie. The cast was wildly divergent, but A+ for Ralphie and Mr. Ryan and Janet Awesome Leigh. The cinematography was gorgeous. The story was iffy. And the ending was awful. I WANTED SEQUELS WITH THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF OUR MORALLY UNSTABLE HERO. But, I'm really okay now. I'm calm. It's okay. I can deal with this.
I would absolutely recommend the movie. Watch it for three talented actors.
P.S. I have decided to restart the Deanna Durbin: From the Beginning series. Expect a Three Smart Girls post soon.

Oh dear. This going to be long. I have a lot of feelings right now.
Don't watch Broken Arrow. I did -- to my shame.
As you know, my mum also likes Jimmy, while I CANNA STAND 'IM. So, I feel the pain of not mocking him...AND OMG, HOW DID YOU LIVE TO TELL THE TALE?!
I always want to utterly adore The Meeker when you mention him, but I just don't love his face enough to watch awful films for him. (Jimmy Stewart film = AWFUL FILM) Jeopardy though...THAT WAS TREMENDOUS. Also, The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown.
"Morally unstable" basically describes all of your favorite obscure actors' typical roles. Let's think about Bradford Dillman for a moment. And Ross Martin.
Janet Leigh might be great, but Eleanor Parker and I will never forgive her for ending up with Stewart Granger in Scaramouche. That caused me pain.
I'm so glad you think in Charles Boyer's voice. While I was in Texas, I kept myself awake one afternoon by reading John 1 to myself in Ingrid Bergman's voice. And then I switched to Cary Grant's voice, but it wasn't the same.
Lastly, this post is so classically Millie (even down to the promise of a series) that my heart is now happy.

Hahahah! Love love LOVE this. As you well know, I just adore Ralph Meeker and, yeah. He is awesome in this. I was also mad at his unnecessary death at the end. I have, in fact, created other stories with his Morally Unstable character. Because he is just too awesome to be in this movie alone.
Also - love the .gif. You save me the trouble of having to back up the DVD over and over to watch him swing up on the horse. Thank you. Much appreciated. :-D
This post was highly awesome to read, and I think it made my week. Particularly as I am under the weather. Thank you!

I'd forgotten how swoony-maroony Ralph Meeker is in the movie and how nice the cinematography is. Great post!

The lost Maverick brother? I can see that! Someone, quick write a crossover where that makes sense. Because, you know, since Ralph wasn't actually confirmed dead... he could totally have been faking.
And why does David Janssen always die in the last 5 minutes? It's clearly an evil conspiracy.

Emmy: Broken Arrow. I feel like that has Jeffrey Hunter in it or something. *shudder*
It was difficult, but Percy really helped me out! haha
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T LOVE HIS FACE ENOUGH?! Are you crazy, girl?! Also, you just named two brilliant films. Sheesh. You need to watch TNS!
It's actually true and rather problematic. haha
I still need to watch that!
This is actually an excellent story! haha
What are you trying to say?! I WILL COMPLETE THE SERIES THIS TIME. I WILL. ;-D
I was so hoping you would read this post! I always think of you when I watch Ralph Meeker!
His unnecessary death is so idiotic and stupid.
OH MY GOSH. That is wonderful. When I become The Doctor's companion, I'll be sure and get those stories filmed by Ralph! ;-D
Perfect. Glad to be of service. haha
Aww! I'm so glad! Thanks for the lovely comment! :-D
GregWA: "Swoony-maroony" actually works. I wouldn't have thought so, but it does. haha
Thanks for the comment!
I think Deb should write the cross-over! She has experience with these types of things! haha
Of course, he wasn't confirmed dead. JIMMMYYYY! *shakes fist again*
The one-armed man is behind it all. HE REVELS IN OUR PAIN AND MISERY!

Ya know, I'd be happy to write that cross-over... only I don't know Maverick at all. (Who is this Maverick guy? Or is it guys? hahah! I have heard of him though! Honestly! I have! Just never seen any eps...)

*** 'Vignette City' is an ongoing project of daily writing and urban photography ***
I actually met Marco Rubio once. It was at the airport.
I was leaving town to go see my kids for awhile.
This was a few years ago. Before people really knew who he was.
But I knew who he was.
I was washing my hands. The water was warm. It was really nice. Nice in a way that you don't usually expect from an airport bathroom. I looked up. Into the mirror. Shaking my warm, soapy hands. And that's when I saw him. In his little boy suit. Like we was on his way to the Sears Portrait Studio. But not really. He ducked into the handicapped stall.
As if just seeing him didn't upset me enough.
But he was taking up the entire handicapped stall.
Which is there for handicapped people.
And it just really made my brain hurt.
I didn't even shake my hands off. I just turned around. And kicked the fucking stall door open with my boot.
And he was sitting there. With his pants on the floor. Pissing like a woman.
And I yelled at him. I did. I feel bad about it now. But I yelled at him.
I yelled, "You little shit eating sycophant. If you ever use the handicapped stall again, I will break your legs in the wrong direction. Do you hear me? If my hands weren't clean right now, I would would dislocate your lower jaw from the rest of your skull. You prick."
And I walked out of the bathroom because my flight was going to board soon.
At least I think it was Marco Rubio.

So my first erotic romance was released on April 14th (yay!). Since I've heard a lot about book piracy on list servs, I figured I'd find out a little bit more about it. I was really surprised to find that four days after my book was released, it's already been pirated! I found it available for (free) download at two separate websites and it had been downloaded at least 30 times already.
It's incredibly discouraging to find that something I just spent four months working on is now free to anyone who wants it. While I'm gratified that several people were interested enough in the book to download it, it's disappointing to know that what they've done will make it more difficult for me to produce future books. After all, the more money I make from writing, the more time I can spend writing. I'm far, far away from supporting myself by writing fiction, but it's something I hope to do in future.
Something else to think about--it's not just authors who are being shortchanged by book piracy. It's also editors, cover models and artists, publicists, agents, and publishers. Pirates make it more difficult for all of us to make a living.

11417 Tidewater Trail Fredericksburg, Virginia 22408
For over 65 years Greenline Service has served the Fredericksburg area. The company was originally founded in 1950 under the name Brown Brothers and Company. The company's original founders were Raymond Brown, Ashby Brown, Bernard Driver and Madeline Driver. The company operated in two small buildings at 632 and 634 Kenmore Avenue.
Seven years later Brown Brothers incorporated and the company expanded for the first time. A new building was erected on the Kenmore Avenue site that not only allowed all operations to be combined in one building, but also increased the size of the service area. In August 1966 Maurice Satterwhite became a partner in the company by purchasing the interest of Ashby Brown. Two years later Brown Brothers had outgrown their Kenmore Avenue location, and with further expansion not an option, moved the entire operation to today's location on Tidewater Trail.
In the fall of 1968 a second location was opened in Culpeper. Brown Brothers continued to grow over the next few years. In 1973 Scott Cook joined the company and became a stockholder the following year. In June 1974 Frank Hopkins resigned from his position with John Deere to become a stockholder and President of Brown Brothers.
Under the leadership of Hopkins, Brown Brothers changed their name to Greenline Service Corporation in January 1976. A major change in ownership occurred two years later. James Lafferty, who had been with the company since 1977, became a stockholder. He joined Frank Hopkins and Scott Cook as the only stockholders in the company when the others elected to sell their interests back to the company in August 1978.
Later in 1979 the facility at Tidewater Trial was completely renovated. This renovation doubled the building's size by adding parts storage space as well as expanding the service area. Scott Cook made the decision to leave the company as stockholder in 1984.
Over the next 31 years Greenline Service continued to grow and expand. A warehouse was built in 1996. In 2004 Clint Hopkins purchased the interest of James Lafferty and with his father became the sole shareholders of Greenline Service. They continue to lead the company today.

I love what you do. I've been following you for so long I'm not sure where I found you. I started with the Chocolate Bliss Cake and Carrot Cake. I love them both! I also ordered your Chocolate Chip Cookies, Drinking Chocolate, erythritol and coconut sugar. I have enjoyed them all.
I am gluten intolerant and am working at reducing my consumption of sugar, so your products fill the bill perfectly. There are a lot of gluten-free products available, including some that taste very good. But it is still very difficult to find products that are both gluten-free and low glycemic.
I have recently bought your Better Bread and Miracle Mix and look forward to trying them both. One of the things I particularly appreciate is the many recipes you provide. I am so excited to try your "thin mint" recipe. I LOVED those cookies as a Girl Scout. I also can't wait to try the Cinnamon Rolls and the biscotti, other favorites that I miss.
Keep up the great work and keep coming with the recipes and new products…. It's great!

Active citizenship generally refers to a philosophy espoused by some organizations and educational institutions. It often states that members of companies or nation-states have certain roles and responsibilities to society and the environment, although those members may not have specific governing roles.
Active citizenship can be seen as an articulation of the debate over rights versus responsibilities. If a body gives rights to the people under its remit, then those same people might have certain responsibilities to uphold. This would be most obvious at a country or nation-state level, but could also be wider, such as global citizenship. The implication is that an active citizen is one who exercises both their rights and responsibilities in a balanced way. A problem with this concept is that although rights are often written down as part of law, responsibilities are not as well defined, and there may be disagreements amongst the citizens as to what the responsibilities are. For example, in the UK, citizens have the right to free healthcare, but voting in elections is not compulsory, even though many people would define this as a responsibility.
Writing a clear definition of responsibilities for an active citizen is much more problematic than writing a list of rights. For example, although voting might be considered a basic responsibility by many people, there are some who through disability or other issues are not able to participate fully in the voting process.
Active citizenship can be considered a buzzword by some, due to its ambiguous definition. Some examples are things like volunteering, donating, recycling and education until 16.
Due to concerns over such things as a lack of interest in elections (reflected by low voter turnout), the British Government launched a citizenship education programme several years ago. Citizenship education is now compulsory in UK schools up to age 14, and is often available as an option beyond that age.
In Scotland, UK, active citizenship has been one of the three major themes of community policy since The Osler Report (section 6.6) in 1998. The most recent Scottish Executive guidelines for Community Learning and Development, Working and Learning Together, has active citizenship as a target within other policy aims.
In Canada, there is an Active Citizenship Course being run at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. It is a compulsory course that is delivered by the Language Studies Department to all students at the college.
Organizations that cite active citizenship as part of their mission or vision statement include:

Buenos Aires in 3 words: Colorful, diverse, gritty
Personal Highlight: Getting invited into a wine store by the store owner as I was taking pictures on the street outside his store. Flavio was his name and he was Italian. He proceeded to teach me all about the indigenous grapes of South America and 'insisted' (!) I try a few different ones. As we communicated through broken English and Spanish, I got so caught up that I missed one of my tours. But as always, these kinds of moments are the reason I travel as they give me a much more authentic and fulfilling experience.
I had received a lot of contradicting information about BA before I arrived - safe, unsafe, dirty, Euro, modern, arty, cold & welcoming. Now I understand why. All of these things exist. It's a big city, and so it has multiple personalities. I personally loved the juxtaposition of the grit and the bold colors, and I equally loved the people.
My two weeks there was definitely not enough time, as there is so much to see and I only scratched the surface. But my goals for my stay there were to study Spanish, start planning the next couple of legs of my journey and to launch this blog. At some point, I also decided I wanted to learn how to take better pictures. Given I don't have any room in my suitcase to bring any pieces from the road home, I want to have pictures that really capture what I see/feel/hear everywhere I go.
So with that full plate, I didn't have as much time as I would've liked! However, I feel like I got to know the city fairly well - spending nights out with various classmates, wandering in different neighborhoods after class to snap some pics and trying my damnest to converse with the locals to practice my Spanish. I think that is the best way to see a city; it's much better than hanging in all of the tourist traps!
The coffee: Very difficult to find a good cup. But after mucho research, I found three amazing places: Cuco (Palermo), Lattente (Palermo), and Coffee Town (San Telmo).
The food: Sooo much bread and meat. This is typical Argentinian. You have to work a bit harder to find a big, colorful salad or veggies but it's definitely doable. I loved Funk & Deli and Vive Verde for healthy bites and for a good burger - Burger Joint. Jury is still out on the quality of the meat here (with respect to grass fed v. factory farmed). The majority I've talked to believe cows are grass fed, and that's what I believed as I was tucking into that juicy burger.
And thank goodness for Pick Up The Fork, an amazing blog about finding good eats in the city. See her hilarious review of Burger Joint and pics of the funky spot here.
Accommodation: I stayed at an AirBnB in San Telmo for 10 days. When I decided to extend my stay there, I had to change apartments and stayed an additional 4 days in Palermo.
Tours: Day Clicker Tours, Free City Walking Tour
Side story: Changing Money in Buenos Aires
I did have one of those moments where I felt like I was in the beginning of a movie. You know, the one where the solo tourist gets lured into a back alley by some charming shopkeeper, offering them to show them something unique.
"Don't do it, you idiot!"
You know how the movie goes.
I had done my homework and talked to many other travelers at Spanish school, but I was still not prepared for what transpired as I went to get Argentinian pesos. Let me explain...
Basically, in May 2012 the government restricted the ability for ordinary Argentines to purchase dollars, which was a very common practice as no one wanted to save in pesos because they were losing 30% per year to inflation. Ever since that point, the black market for dollars, actually called the 'blue rate' has soared from the official government influenced rate. While trading with the blue rate is technically illegal, it is very much in the open. The difference from the blue rate to the official rate is astounding - I looked at rates at the airport, and it was 1:9. I got 1:15 with the blue rate. While the rate fluctuates daily, you could be losing as much as 60% on your money if you use an ATM or credit card versus exchanging cash on the blue rate.
So in order to get the blue rate, I was instructed to head to Florida Street and look for any of the guys that yell, "Cambio!" As I was walking down Florida, I was trying to discern who 'looked' most honest. I saw a guy who had a respectable scarf wrapped around his neck and decided he was my man.
I walked over to him and in my broken Spanish I said I'd like to exchange my USD. He said "bueno!" and asked me to follow him. We walked a half block and turned into a plaza type building, walked past all of the storefronts and into a side door. We walked past a desk where two men poked up their heads to look at the vulnerable tourist who was trying to look cool and collected but might have looked like a deer in headlights. We turned into a tiny office where a man was sitting at a desk with just a phone and a couple of papers on it. He stood up to greet my guy and they exchanged a fist bump and a bro hug.
Like he just congratulated him for a fresh catch.
My guy stayed while the whole ordeal happened. It lasted only 3 minutes, but it felt like an eternity. I wonder if I even breathed the entire time. In the end, we exchanged bills, I got an amazing rate, we shook hands and we were done. My guy walked me out, told me to be careful with my backpack, particularly on the subte (subway), gave me a kiss on the cheek, said thank you and safe journeys.

Essays, Analyses and Meditations
Back to my essays
Back to the Philosophy pages
A revolution is started by people who don't have what they want and hijacked by people who don't want what they have
There is a limit to human intelligence, but there is no limit to human stupidity
A fundamental property of life is the ability to predict the future.
Most books are about aspects of human knowledge. Few people write books about human ignorance, despite the fact that there would be much more to write about.
We are not Nature's only experiment, but we may be one of the few that will fail
Cogito. Ergo I am feasible.
People tend to talk about what people tend to talk about
We are what we find, not what we search for.
Life is about finding solutions to solvable problems. What is more interesting is finding solutions to unsolvable problems.
We are doomed not only to repeat history but to never understand our role in it.
The first step to finding a solution is to admit that there is a problem
When we go back to a place in space, it looks different. If i could go back to a moment in time, would it feel different? Would it be me?
Every point in the universe is a solution to an equation
Each of us is a lifelong project to build a coherent theory on top of a blatant contradiction.
The severity of a problem increases exponentially with the time it takes to realize the severity of the problem
We always underestimate the ingenuity of idiots
If you disagree with yourself, you are always right.
What we are today is a special case of what we will be tomorrow
What is one expected to expect?
I do not envy God
Thankfully we cannot understand the universe
I wrote a note to myself that i should never write notes to myself.

Similar to most regions of Florida, Sanford in ground irrigation maintenance service uses a similar routine. The porous variety of terrain and scorching days help to make sprinkling your lawn problematic. Seminole County additionally has garden irrigation restrictions in place that confuse elements further. A lot of these environments bring about protecting your landscaping sprinkler system in excellent condition a necessity. Managing your lawn sprinklers for the appropriate amount of time is critical, in addition to utilizing the correct landscaping sprinklers for the best suited circumstance. Keeping up your landscape irrigation is key even when you got the primary steps perfect. Part one of maintaining yourin ground sprinklers is to examine at it while it's operating. Bordering irrigation heads must generate a sprinkle of water the entire way between each other. This is known as head to head coverage and is usually the main challenge with the majority of systems. Therefore so that you can have constant coverage within the specific spot, the in ground sprinkler heads need to throw water from one to the other. When they do not, you'll have dry blotches. Gear drive rotator heads at times break down and quit turning. Have a look at each individual head to make sure it continues to function.
Another type of lawn sprinkler is the misting head. It is not uncommon for all of them to get jammed when they pop up and for the misting nozzles to clog up. Lawn mowers
will split these jammed heads and is the fundamental cause of quite a bit of sacrificed water. Trickle watering can be difficult to diagnose whether it is working correctly. Landscape design flower sprinkling is right now mandatory by regulation being low volume level in new building construction initiatives. Just how long the various different types of sprinkler heads run for is the last item it's good to examine. In ground sprinkler clock working times really need to be checked as our ultimate step. Mixing official statement many kinds of sprinklers on a single valve is regarded as a horrible practice because they all produce moisture at different speeds. Your able to use close running intervals in every model of zone you possess and afterwards adjust minutes as suitable. Spray heads need to perform for twenty minutes and the rotors for somewhere around 1 hour. Most commonly, many trickle in ground sprinklers really should operate for one hour. Around well established landscapes you can actually keep the micro-spray section turned off till the plants exhibits symptoms of stress. Looking at your lawn irrigation system every month should probably make it easier to save on water expenditures and continue to keep your garden in good shape.
'Consistent servicing is a constant challenge for sprinkler products. In Mid F.L., simply because of the mild weather factors, lawns have to be properly watered all year. Because of this valves, sprinkler heads together with other pieces degrade in the near future. Every Springtime is the ideal time to look into how well the irrigation is operating. What number of minutes the sprinkler system is on for is our official source principal concern. Never assume all irrigation heads must work for the very same duration. Assorted irrigation heads emit varying volumes of GPM and this is a necessary figure to figure out. Each individual region you irrigate should utilize irrigation products. A common predicament to be in search of is leaking devices. This may easily hit you up for a lot of dough and waste a huge amount of precious water. Among probably the mos crucial measures in creating a suitable irrigation piping syastem is and starts with landscape Sanford FL lawn irrigation contractor sprinkler head design. All of the sprinkler heads have to be properly and logically put to become in a position to reach what's known inside the irrigation contractor world as matched watering. Coordinated precipitation essentially indicates achieving even watering throughout the yardlandscape. You do not want underwatered locations as well as you also do not want soggy locations. There are many factors which go into preparing and executing your irrigation head design. You've to think about issues like type of grass, geography light and shady spots, dimensions and type of the garden, along with the time you'll most likely be watering. From all the years of my own working experience I've found that matched or even precipitation is private information vital for preserving a first-class garden, but you have some room for miscalculations when dealing with flower beds. An overwatered or underwatered area can tell you much easier on a yard then in a floral bed. I look at the chief explanation for this is the variations inside the system between plants and turf.Certainly sprinkler head design and style is simply a percentage of a suitable landscaping sprinkler system layout, having said that an especially significant one.

The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts, which will offer theater, music, dance and visual arts programs for 150 high school students, will cost about $6.5 million.
"It's a fantastic building, a great start, and we can only applaud turning this building over for such a great use as a school for the arts," George N. Holback said Tuesday night.
The Washington County Board of Education, which began looking at magnet school opportunities in 2001, voted Tuesday night to accept the feasibility study presented by Holback of Cho Benn Holback + Associates Inc. and to move forward with a $501,320 agreement with the Baltimore firm for design services.

Sometimes you need to think inside the box.
Gauges replace the conventional chassis on this automotive-oriented build. Sounds about right.
It's time to break out the fishing gear.
This box could be featured in Fallout 3.
This is what happens when you cross BMW's design with a coffee-maker.
It might not be pretty, but it sure is transparent.
Just because your girlfriend works at a True Religion factory doesn't mean you have to drape your PC in denim.
There are cups for pens and pencils on the sides, and paper clips fit too.
The perfect marriage of acrylic and steel. Only the power cable looks out of place.
The green slime monster is alive! This PC fits in with the post-apocalyptic theme from earlier.
Another win for the nothing-but-acrylic look.
Now we know what Lian Li's prototype looked like.
Some turbulence is nice to see (even though we typically spend our time trying to get rid of bubbles).
This rim might not be to everyone's taste.
If you're going for effective cooling, might as well chill your soda at the same time, right?
Turning it inside-out. We see what you did there.
We always like to see a V2.
This probably isn't the right enclosure for an AMD graphics card.
This is how you build a Mini PC.
Another Thermaltake knockoff, though this one could have been made by Ikea.
Since we're keeping it natural, here's another biodegradable case.
This thing looks like a mixture of Raidmax, Aerocool and a hotel in Dubai.
And because we're on the topic of architecture, here's another skyscraper.
Sometimes bigger isn't better. Things went a bit too far here. This setup would probably be great for a cryogenic storage facility.
This thing looks like it could keep your heart beating during surgery, despite those swords at each corner. Consult with your doctor before use.
At least the lighting's nice. Cables can actually be hidden, you know.
We don't think this is standard Army issue.
There are always ways to recycle a nice empty bottle.
This is the PC from page 17, taken from a different angle. I realize mods are largely subjective, but it still doesn't look any better to me.
This is a great Gothic appliance for hardcore rockers who like to keep their rooms clean.
There isn't a rat in the case, but…
This giant drum has perfect airflow – as long as your leg doesn't get tired.
Presented without comment!
We call this stainless steel drum the "Tide" model. Either way, temperatures top out at around 90 degrees Celsius.
We opened it, and now we know that it's dead.
This PC literally has a backbone.
If you're confused by all of this, then you're not alone.
No need to throw it out – it's already there.
The rolling PC table for the couch. Just add a burger, a soda and the remote control.
Igor Wallossek is a Senior Contributing Editor for Tom's Hardware DE. He tests and reviews CPUs, GPUs, games and headsets.

ZTE, the makers behind Grand S, has introduced a new phablet for the European market. The ZTE Grand S Flex offers a 5-inch 720p HD resolution and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
Currently, the Grand S Flex will be made available in select European territories: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Finland, Germany and Poland. ZTE is yet to announce exact release date and pricing of the Grand S Flex handset. Internationally, the Chinese major shot to fame with the coming of Grand S, a 5-inch Full HD smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor inside.
At first, the ZTE Grand Flex appears to be another flexible phone, inspired by the LG G Flex and Samsung Galaxy Round. But in reality the ZTE Grand S is a simple and mid-range Android based handset.

"The driving force behind the ZTE Grand S Flex is a combination of modern technology and intuitive handling. Outstanding technology must be met with attractive design to adapt to the needs of our customers. The ZTE Grand S Flex provides this and much more with iconic detail consisting of thin and clear lines that make the handset a stylish must-have.", AO Wen, General Manager of ZTE Handset European Operation Office, said,
The ZTE Grand Flex features a 5-inch IPS TFT display having a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The device is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8930 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. Unfortunately, the internal memory is non-expandable via a microSD card slot. There's an 8-megapixe rear-facing camera with Auto Focus and LED Flash. Also add a 1-megapixel front-facing camera. The makers have added a 2300mAh battery fitted inside. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean comes out of the box.
Other highlighted features include: Wi-Fi, 3G, 2G (EDGE), GPS, FM Radio and dual microphones for crystal clear sound.
There is nothing spectacular about the ZTE Grand S Flex. It is to be seen whether ZTE would launch this phone in India or not. ZTE was supposed to launch the Grand S in the Indian market around November.

At approximately this time nineteen years ago, my mother and father headed out for a jolly jaunt to the cinema. The fact that my mother was having contractions and was in fact going into labour (for four hours) by midnight seemed to bother her not one whit. Then again, she is generally an unflappable person. Sort of like Dumblydorr, only less beardy.

Have you recently gone to buy a t-shirt in your ordinary dimension, only to get in house and find that it would not fit? If in case you have then you definitely're not alone! While a lot of you might think that it's merely a case of these of us discovering this problem having eaten too much of late, there are more and more people discovering this problem.
I'll use myself as an example. I am a somewhat large man who has almost all the time worn further-giant size t-shirts. There has solely been one period in my adult life after I was able to fit into a big size, but that did not final for too long.
I've seen recently that once I exit to buy a new t-shirt, more typically than not I need to find a double extra-large size to ensure that it to suit me comfortably. Now I need to admit, when this first occurred, I assumed I had simply put on weight, but all my standard clothes fitted me and other new clothes comparable to jumpers, jeans and the like fitted with no problems.
This phenomenon isn't just restricted to some stores. I have discovered this to be the case in lots of high avenue stores and huge supermarkets. I have no idea how or why this seems to be taking place but it could possibly make shopping a a lot more concerned process than it really needs to be.
The only reason I can think is that by making smaller t-shirts, producers can get monetary savings through the use of less material. Now please do not misunderstand me, I am not trying to start any new conspiracy theories or to present any specific company a bad name, I just wished to let anybody who had the identical downside know that they weren't the one ones.
After all, it might all be in the imagination, however there's a pretty good method to check. Next time you go shopping for a t-shirt, take certainly one of your own t-shirts from home that you recognize fits you well. When you're in a shop, hold up the two collectively, one on prime of the other. I've finished this many instances and found the new t-shirt to be physically smaller, especially beneath the arms and across the chest area.
Now, I realise that for many of you reading this, my revelation could not have a lot of an impact on you if you're a size small, medium or large. But if you end up an extra-large dimension like myself, there is not really anyplace else to go with the size, as many producers simply do not make shirts or design in double extra-massive size.
Maybe it is just paranoia, possibly I've been consuming too much in recent months, who knows? All I know for certain is that what was once a easy journey in to city to get myself a new t-shirt seems to be a thing of the past. This can also be implies that because manufactures need simply more money to create greater sized Pixel T-shirts, greater folks end up paying a higher share of each piece of clothing they buy.

The skies were blue, and the ocean was a crystalline turquoise with roiling waves.
At the center of the island, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were each standing at the foot of two adjacent rocky mountains, holding themselves like ants shouldering an enormous burden. They each gripped a wooden spear, and were attacking the two mighty mountains with fervor—every strike shattering stone. Their aura was rather astounding, but compared to the mountains, it still felt like they were overestimating themselves—like ants trying to shake a large tree!
Qian'Er shattered a giant boulder to pieces with a single spear strike, causing two enormous boulders atop the mountainside to tremble heavily. It eventually tumbled down with a bunch of other rocks of varying sizes.
Qian'Er suddenly raised her head; her eyesight instantly sharpening. As an enormous boulder tumbled her way, she swiftly twisted her body with ladylike elegance and—using the momentum from her body—struck out a piercing strike to the skies.
'BANG!' The giant boulder instantly shattered, and burst into pieces.
Soon after, rocks of all shapes and sizes tumbled down from the mountain top, and came down on her like rain.
Qian'Er didn't seem the least bit afraid. Instead, she launched her spear out like a rampaging dragon, quickly shifting her posture to match her footwork. The rocks that came close to her head were quickly smashed to bits under a flurry of spear strikes, though she did miss a few.
All the while, she was continuously jumping and twisting her body aside. Then, stepping on the descending rocks, she shifted her position in mid-air and leveled a strike with her spear at the other giant boulder crashing to her side.
'BANG!' The enormous rock exploded, but the wooden spear had also been snapped in two.
As the pebbles rained down onto the ground, Qian'Er ended by landing on her feet gracefully. Looking at the broken wooden spear in her hand, she couldn't help but shake her head. For consecutive high-speed attacks, she was still a little lacking in controlling her strength; otherwise, the spear wouldn't have broken.
Casually tossing away the broken spear in her hands, she jumped away and landed on a nearby stone pile behind her; dozens of wooden spears had been stuck into it like pins. Easily picking one out, she made her way back to the foot of the mountain, and the explosions could once again be heard.
At the foot of the other mountain, Xue'Er was not performing any worse either.
The two of them battled almost every day. With the constant battles, the two of them constantly improved their utilization and harmony of body, art and spear.
On a nearby mountain ridge, Miao Yi nodded with a faint smile. These two handmaidens of his had finally gotten rid of the dainty feebleness they once had.
Miao Yi realized that this spear spear training method that had Lao Bai taught him was basically building a rough foundation of sorts. The Master merely guided the disciple to the entrance, while the growth was up to the disciple themselves—it was definitely that sort. There was basically no need for the Master to teach anything. It was a very apt technique for those lazy masters to pass down to their disciples. The could just speak a couple of lines, and leave their disciples to act on it themselves.
However, the situation seemed to be different for each person. Even though it was the same training method, there was a plethora of ways in which it could be modified. It could freely draw out the potential that was most suitable for the person involved; or perhaps, it was because the two girls were female.
Miao Yi's spear arts were tyrannical and precise; giving others the feeling of a honed weapon waiting to strike, and carried an aura of unstoppable momentum.
The two girls' spear arts lacked that tyranny, but had a supple flexibility that Miao Yi did not possess—adding a beautiful versatility with the sharpness of their strikes. It was quite apparent just from observing how elegantly the two girls were moving their bodies to launch their spears and received attacks. Miao Yi himself didn't have such a versatile moveset.
There was a hint of praise in Miao Yi's smile as he watched the two girls. Even though the two of them had yet to fully master the spear arts, based on his combat experience, the two girls already possessed the ability to fight against an opponent of the same level.
He didn't stay long, and turned to leave. When he reached the outside of his abode, he saw Yao Ruoxian scuttling about in circles around Charcoal. He held a Yao Core in his hand, and tried to tease Charcoal, but the usually gluttonous Charcoal wasn't swayed and tried to avoid him instead as he dodged from and right.
"I really wonder if this old man is a cultivator sometimes; following behind Charcoal's rump day after day—didn't he need to cultivate? Red Lotus cultivators really had thick pockets indeed, that they didn't have to worry about Yao Cores. It ticked him off just thinking about it…" grumbled Miao Yi as he shook his head. Turning back, he walked towards his cave manor.
Seeing that he had returned, Charcoal immediately followed behind Miao Yi into the cave manor.
Miao Yi sat cross-legged on the stone seat, while Charcoal lay sprawled at the bottom of it.
Soon after, Yao Ruoxian stuck his head through the entrance of the cave and peered inside. Seeing Miao Yi notice him, he coughed dryly and walked inside with his hand behind his back, circling around to Charcoal.
After he looked back on it, he soon realized that Charcoal was truly different from dragon steeds.
Other dragon steeds would stand as they sleep, but he would lie down as he slept.
Other dragon steeds were omnivorous creatures, but he would only eat the likes of fish and prawns.
Furthermore, this Fat Thief even knew how to help his master set up ambushes and responded to the person's emotions. Yao Ruoxian had experienced this himself back in the Sea of Constellations.
Previously, he thought that it was because the Fat Thief had only learnt bad habits and gained a thief's cunning. Now Yao Ruoxian could barely keep his composure when he thought about this; he had the urge to drool everytime he saw Charcoal. If he didn't obtain him, he would have difficulty sleeping or eating.
To this end, he had stolen Charcoal away secretly sometime ago after considering the time that Miao Yi spent in closed-door cultivation. He planned to tame Charcoal in a hidden and isolated location.
However, it frustrated him to no end that this sentient dragon steed seemed to hold a grudge against him. Charcoal didn't respond to resentment normally either—he was extremely vindictive. There was almost no chance of Yao Ruoxian taming him. Even if he killed Miao Yi, he probably wouldn't be able to get Charcoal to follow him.
After a few tries without any results, Yao Ruoxian had no choice but to secretly send Charcoal back onto the island….
Charcoal lifted his head to look at Yao Ruoxian, then turned around and looked at Miao Yi. Seeing that Miao Yi was still there, he felt more secure and closed his eyes; ignoring Yao Ruoxian.
"Senior. You keep pacing around in front of me. I can't focus on cultivation!" laughed Miao Yi bitterly in protest.
"Don't worry. Just focus on your cultivation. I won't bother you. I can even help stand guard over you. Where else would you find such a good bargain?" Yao Ruoxian waved his hands.
Miao Yi curiously asked, "Senior. Why do you keep staring at Charcoal?"
"Keep staring at him? Did I?" Yao Ruoxian was surprised. Thinking back, he realized that he was being a little too obvious about it. He immediately mocked, "Why would I keep staring at this Fat Thief? I just think it's a little strange. This fat thief has always been a glutton. Why does he reject Yao Cores when I try to feed him now? I just want to understand what caused such a thing."
Miao Yi thought, 'Isn't it because you scared him so?'; but smiled and asked, "Then have you found the cause?"
"I have not. Can't you see I'm still trying to figure it out?" Yao Ruoxian shook his head and sighed, "Why doesn't he want to eat anymore?"
He wanted to mend his relationship with Charcoal, but alas, Charcoal wouldn't be enticed by Yao Cores anymore. It didn't matter how much he tried to butter-up to him. Yao Ruoxian couldn't help but grind his teeth at this.
Charcoal wasn't a fool; he was actually a dragon steed with a rather intelligent nature. Even though he liked to eat Yao Cores, he remembered how the old man had immediately lost his temper with him, and buried him alive after he ate his Yao Core. That near-death sensation was too terrifying for him. He didn't want to experience it ever again. What's more, he had also been secretly taken away by Yao Ruoxian once. How could he not be wary of Yao Ruoxian now?
"Aiee! I'm a soft-hearted person after all. I will easily bond after being with someone long enough. Just like how I am with with those two girls, and the Fat Thief." Yao Ruoxian sighed deeply as if in self-pity. He already had a habit of calling Charcoal 'Fat Thief; it was hard to change it all of a sudden.
Miao Yi could indeed see that the other party treated Qian'Er, Xue'Er and Charcoal very kindly; but he still showed his doubt, "I believe we have also spent quite some time together. Why don't I see Senior treating me kindly?"
"..." Yao Ruoxian was speechless. He coughed and said, "How could you say that we have spent a lot of time together? You are either busy with your own things, or in closed-door cultivation. Did you spend more time with me, than I did with the others?"
Miao Yi had to agree on that. He never liked to waste time, so he didn't argue. He examined this old man closely, unsure of what this old man wanted to say.
As expected, Yao Ruoxian changed the topic. He narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Brat. I have something I want to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
Yao Ruoxian pulled his sleeves open and let Miao Yi have a look at the tiny mantids that were perched on the inside of his sleeves, "I want to return them to you."
Miao Yi was shocked, and suspiciously asked, "Are you serious? Without any other conditions?"
He did not believe that Yao Ruoxian would be so kind. If he really were so kind, a mighty Red Lotus expert like himself would not have stayed at a meager East Arrival Cave for so long; he would have left for the boundless skies a long time ago. There was surely something worth waiting for, for Yao Ruoxian; and it was obviously the tiny mantids.
"Aiiee! I already said that I easily bond with others after being with them long enough. This Fat Thief seems rather intelligent, and catches my fancy. Why don't you gift him to me? I will trade him with the tiny mantids." said Yao Ruoxian in a serious manner.
"Uhh…." Miao Yi was in extremely doubtful. 'Was a dragon steed that valuable to a Red Lotus cultivator? I think it's not even worth as much as a single tiny mantid, no?'
He proved a little more by asking, "How should we exchange? You know how dragons steeds are, since Charcoal had acknowledged me as his master, I'm afraid he won't switch loyalties that easily."
"This is easy. The Fat Thief is very smart. It isn't as dumb as regular dragon steeds. All you need to do is have him get closer to me, while you treat him a little worse than usual. As time goes by, he will naturally want to follow me."
Miao Yi was stunned. Without another word, he extended his arm and said, "Sure. I can promise you that. Return the tiny mantids to me, then."
Seeing that he had agreed, Yao Ruoxian immediately grinned. However, he waved his hand and said, "I cannot do that now. I will help you raise the tiny mantids for now. When the Fat Thief's relationship with me has some improvement, I will return the tiny mantids to you at intervals, one by one…."
He had already calculated everything; he wasn't that greedy. Out of the eighty-five tiny mantids, he only needed to keep fifty of them. He would use the remaining thirty-five he as leverage for Miao Yi to help him persuade Charcoal.
Once his relationship with Charcoal was mended and he was able to communicate with the fifty tiny mantids, he would immediately bring Charcoal and the remaining tiny mantids with him and leave—killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Miao Yi's gaze flashed as he nodded and said, "Sure, but you will have to accept one condition of mine."
Yao Ruoxian magnanimously waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and say it."
"The damn fatso is thinner now." Miao Yi said, pointing towards Charcoal who was lying on the ground fast asleep. "The battle armor that you refined for him no longer fits. Could you refine a new set for him again?"
"No problem." Yao Ruoxian extended his hand and said, "Hand the original battle armor over to me."
Without another word, Miao Yi summoned out Charcoal's battle armor and tossed it to Yao Ruoxian.
"And?" Yao Ruoxian waved his hand and added, "There are still Blaze Resins and Yao Cores."
Miao Yi gave out a mocking laugh. If it were in the past, he might have given it over to ensure Charcoal's safety. However, after seeing that Yao Ruoxian could even feed a Second Grade Yao Core to Charcoal as though it was candy, he could not let Yao Ruoxian further bereave a poor man like himself, any longer.
"Senior. I have to leave some capital for my own cultivation somehow. I have already agreed to your conditions. You wouldn't be so stingy that you'd refuse to provide a little Blaze Resins and Yao Cores, would you? If that's the case, then I think we don't need to trade….."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Yao Ruoxian put his hand out to stop him. "I'll fork it out." After he said that, he grabbed the necessary items, and turned to leave.
He stopped again at the the entrance of the cave, and turned back to gesture at Charcoal with his mouth.
Miao Yi understood what he meant. He jumped down from the stone seat, and without any warning—he threw a few punches and kicks at Charcoal, startling him awake from his slumber; then yelled out, "SCRAM!"
After he chased Charcoal out of the cave manor, Miao Yi shrugged his shoulders at Yao Ruoxian. 'Isn't it just treating Charcoal a little badly? This is easy. I always catch Charcoal and give him a heavy beating. Too easy.'

I agree. It's sickening and I don't think I can watch the news for a few days at least as I find the whole thing very upsetting and distressing. I wish there had been warnings before they showed some of the footage and images tonight. I can't imagine how the family of that poor soul must feel.ReplyDelete
Barbaric and Shocking !ReplyDelete
I feel sick, so so awful. I can't sleep, it's terrible. XReplyDelete
Oh, Fran, I know you know more about this than most of us do, and I'm grateful there are people like you, and like the woman who stood up to one of the armed men and spoke to him calmly.ReplyDelete
I'm not young any more. It doesn't matter if I wake up every morning thinking I'm 30. As soon as I move an arm or a leg I know I'm 66 and the world is a different place.
My deepest sympathy to the people of Britain.
It's absolutely awful, I agree there are no words.ReplyDelete
Very true and we won't yet know whether he was targeted or they were just looking for an armed forces person and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.ReplyDelete
Absolutely shocking. I wonder what's happening to the world we live in. My heart goes out to the family.ReplyDelete
Craziness is everywhere around the world. We heard the news on the radio and were deeply saddened as well. - MargyReplyDelete
It is too terrible. It also brings home to us that thousands of people in the middle east endure this kind of violence every day. My heart goes out to this soldier's family, but also to all the thousands of families who have lost loved ones to this kind of savage violence. It's happening all the time, but we don't notice because it's so far away.ReplyDelete

Below are 5 types of beauty facials available in beauty salons for soon-to-be brides that enhances the glow on a bride's face:
1. Microdermabrasion Facials
A microdermabrasion treatment removes the top layer of your skin, thus getting rid of dead cells and debris, giving you a youthful glow. A specialized medical device is used to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. The facial can result in a slight redness on your face so try and schedule the last one at least a week before your pre-wedding functions begin. While suggested for every skin type, it's best to consult a certified dermatologist before opting for this facial.
2. Hydra Facials
Hydra Facial uses advanced, patented vortex technology to deliver botanical ingredients with the most desirable nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, horse chestnut seed extract, red algae extract, copper zinc and magnesium peptides. It helps in improving the appearance of the skin, but truly restoring youthful, healthy skin.
3. Aromatherapy Facial
Aromatherapy facials are becoming very popular. They're one of the best ways to pamper your skin with the use of essential oils. They're suitable for all skin types. Your therapist will use oils after examining your skin type and problem areas. So be it dry skin or acne spots, the oils will tackle the exact problems you face.
4. Gold Facial
The key ingredient in a gold facial is a cream and gel containing 24K gold. The facial involves special methods of massage that encourages lymphatic drainage and toxin removal. It's recommended for those looking for improved blood circulation, skin elasticity or removal of age lines.
5. Chocolate Facial
Chocolate has high levels of antioxidants, which is great for the skin. Antioxidants increase the production of collagen, and lighten blemishes and acne marks. They also help to hydrate your skin and impart a healthy glow to an otherwise dull skin.

Awesome site Stu!
I think there is a bug though. If you embedd a curver into a round or a round into a curved box that will not work properly becase the b elements are overiding...
Am I wrong. I tried that round into curved and I got curved always...

Hey Stu. Krazy korners rocks, but when I put them in div which is float: right, they just dont seem ok. How can I fix that?
(20.08.2007, 00:48)
niko, the float of a containing div should not affect these krazy korners.
(20.08.2007, 08:33)
Yeah, I'm dumb. I fixed it;) thanks again for sharing
(21.08.2007, 14:15)
I read through the comments and saw that you stated that forms should not break the boxes. Sadly, mine do. (v3.csea.org) I've tried all kinds of width definitions, but to no avail. Any ideas what is going on there?
Keep up the great work!
(02.10.2007, 20:10)
Well, I figured out the problem of the form components overlapping... sort of... see, the area they are in had a width set to 125px, and the form components were much wider, so that part of the layout expanded. Simple thing... increase the width, right? Well, I'd rather not have that area that wide all of the time, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
(02.10.2007, 22:31)
Just a little contribution/payback - with thanks:
rounded border, 1px
rounded border, 2px
rounded border, 4px
(it's in the detail you find the pleasure)
(06.01.2008, 18:14)
I've got the boxes working, but they don't come out too well when printing. Especially chamfer. The top and bottom borders are missing. I'm getting this with both FF (3.0.4) and IE (6).
Any suggestions?
P.S. Love the site, very helpful!!
(24.11.2008, 14:56)
The Sozzled One:-
On the Krazy Corners example is there a reason for using the b tag rather than span? Just curious!
(18.03.2010, 12:17)
Is there a way to draw a border around the Pillar example in a different colour? I've got the left and right working fine, plus the curves, but am struggling with the top and bottom!

WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Mosquito spraying resumes today in Franklin County, which leads the state in the number of positive West Nile virus samples and where a 5-year-old girl fell sick with the disease earlier this month.
A Pennsylvania Department of Health spokesman said his latest update on the child indicated she was recovering at home after being hospitalized.
He confirmed that a 73-year-old Lackawanna County woman died over the weekend, becoming Pennsylvania's second West Nile virus fatality in 2006. The state had 25 human cases and two deaths in 2005.
As of Monday afternoon, Franklin County had 50 positive cases of West Nile virus through human, bird, mosquito and sentinel chicken testing. It led the state with three times as many cases as the second-highest county, Erie.

What: Shares of ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT) slumped as much as 10% by 3:15 p.m. EST on Friday after the company reported a weak fourth quarter. In addition, the company also issued tepid guidance for 2016 and reportedly plans to raise more than $3 billion in capital to shore up its balance sheet.
So what: ArcelorMittal reported a loss of $5.3 billion for the quarter, though $4.7 billion of that loss was due to an impairment charge primarily relating to the company's mining operations. Adjusting for that charge, the company still lost $400 million, which was more than the $20 million it lost last quarter.
Falling steel prices were the primary weight on earnings, which the company attributed to a surge in Chinese exports. That's something both US Steel (NYSE:X) and TimkenSteel (NYSE:TMST) complained about in their recent earnings reports. US Steel noted in its report that its flat-rolled segment in particular was hurt by a decrease in average realized prices, which it believes was due to dumped or subsidized imported products on the domestic market. TimkenSteel, likewise, noted that pricing pressure on imports was hurting its business.
That pricing pressure as well as lackluster demand caused both US Steel and TimkenSteel to issue weak 2016 guidance, and ArcelorMittal doesn't see things any differently. The company's own guidance for 2016 calls for its EBITDA to fall to $4.5 billion, which is below the $5.2 billion in EBITDA it generated in 2015.
Because of these tough operating conditions, as well as the fact that the company has $15 billion in bond repayments over the next six years, ArcelorMittal reportedly is planning to raise more than $3 billion in capital. That stock sale could be announced as early as next week, according to reports.
Now what: Times are tough in the steel industry right now, and aren't showing any signs of improving. That's expected to lead to weaker earnings for steelmakers in 2016, which will likely continue to put pressure on their stock prices.

This paper describes an experimental study of the effects of injecting dilute aqueous polymer solutions into a turbulent boundary layer formed on a flat plate immersed in flowing water.
Hot-film anemometer techniques were employed in the measurement of the velocity profiles, turbulence intensities, and lateral correlation coefficients at a number of locations along the plate. Boundary layer growth parameters and the variation of the local skin friction coefficient were computed from the velocity profile data. The effects of polymer concentration and injection velocity on the local drag reduction are also presented.
It was found that momentum diffusivity was smaller than for pure water, and that the presence of the polymer molecules appeared to promote a more uniform distribution of the size of the turbulent eddies. Also, that the injection rate of a polymer solution can have a pronounced affect on the drag reduction.
