Police concert in Perth
by Tyrone- 13 replies
- 925 views
The Police (not the boys in blue) came to Perth last night for an open air concert . I never thought I'd ever see them reform, so it was one of those things I was glad to see. It was a hot night, still around 30C at 10.30pm. The Police played most of their well known stuff as well as their less known stuff like Invisible Sun and Synchronicity II. It was a great concert on a real hot summers night. Fergie was the support act. Tyrone

Cool non-tropical plants

Howdyall: As I sit here reading by the light of my nose, I note that, aside from the palmaliscious schmooziosity at the Big H on the day of the banquet, I had the chance to see some other plants. Here's a cork oak, Quercus something. The "cork tree" Ferdinand the Bull liked to sit under when he sat and smelld the flowers, instead of fighting like the other bulls.

Palm design etched into floor tile
by Al in Kona- 12 replies
- 1k views
We recently had our floor tiled using a light cream-color-mix PORCELAN tile. The entry area has an etched palms/island design (see pic below) which doesn't show up very well (not enough contrast) as the etched part is even lighter in color than the enameled cream-color tile itself. Does anyone know what can be done to help bring out the design so that it's more noticeable? Perhaps use some kind of stain on the etched area - if so, what kind and what colors might look best? One idea someone mentioned to me was - why not use an epoxy paint? I'm open to any ideas anyone might have or if you know anyone who might have some knowledge with this type of thing. What are the…

What did you not see today?
by _Keith- 11 replies
- 822 views
So, it is winter, not much going outside around here, and the mind wanders. Have you ever noticed when you get a new vehicle, or at least one new to you, all of a sudden as you drive around you start to notice cars like yours everywhere? I have recently caught this palm bug and now, and all of a sudden I am noticing palms all over the place. Now, those palms have been there for years, and I have passed by them for years, yet I have never noticed them before because my mind was not tuned into palms. So, think for a minute and wonder, what are all of the other things that you pass every day and look at, but you do not see? What other parts of life are all aroun…

U2 3D movie
by Eric in Orlando- 1 reply
- 532 views
Anyone see this movie yet? I saw it yesterday. It is showing on IMAX screens and in 3D. All I can say is incredible. If you are remotely a U2 fan then the movie needs to be seen. The visuals are superb and the sound loud and crystal clear. Its a straight up concert film, no behind stage before the show, no band interviews, no backstage after the show. Just and hour and a half of U2 from Buenas Aires from the "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" tour, a good selection of songs from their entire career span. The only gripe? It wasn't long enough!!! I guess this will probably be the new thing. The Rolling Stones have one coming out in a few weeks.
