Thanks, Tim for name-dropping. I was curious about the source for those wonderful boxcars.

Hi Frank, I'm leaving most of the original stuff in, about 99%. It's all top-notch and loaded with flavor. But I am adding many structures of my own and other authors. If I remember correctly, the only thing of Andre's I've removed is the tank at Eureka, changing it out for a working tank of my own from the Sumpter Valley. Below is a view of the Eureka Transfer job parked in front of the substation-foreman's digs, which is a Ron Picardi model, his single-story section-house.
Thanks all, and Merry Christmas to all!

Thanx for the great shots of #53; that color scheme just "works" for me (the yellow handrails and tuscan red window frames).
Now, let's stretch that boxcab to add (2) more windows; then add a 2-6-0+0-6-2 cast underframe and
you've got a mainline freight motor for the Seligman - Berryville run!
BTW, as an Electrical Engineer, I feel it necessary to warn you that the water tower's delivery pipe is DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to
that 600 Volt catenary! I'd suggest relocating the water tower to a non-electrified track.
We certainly don't want to electrocute Ole Coonskin when he tops off Skookum's tank! ZAPPO!!!

Now, you got me thinking.... I have a Milwaukee Road boxcab......hmmm
I'm glad you brought up the point about the tank spout. I have no non-electrified track! I was wondering what the safe clearance is for 600 volts. The spout looks to clear about 18 or 20 inches as it rotates, similar to a photo I have of a tank on the Oregon Electric. This tank at Eureka is from a narrow gauge line, the Sumpter Valley, at Whitney, so sits lower than a standard gauge spout. Below, you're looking back, showing the spout and trolley.

What are the chances of releasing the wired version as a add-on to Andre's route?
By using 2 bat.files you can move world & shape,trk.gantry, etc ,in & out of a alternative folder.
This is done on the Thames-Mersey route with great success. Giving the route two eras.

But seriously, the reason there is nothing on that motive power here Tim M. is that there just simply hasn't been anyone doing anything like that over here. Of course I have seen your stuff in other places and love it. Now, I am not a big fan of modern electic engine power but I sure do like what you have been showing here, and great shots by the way. Sort of reminds me of the early days of the automobile when every Bicycycle maker, woodmaker, engineer, of what have you were creating their own automobiles. What I liked about them was their uniqueness to one another. Looks like what we have here. No one style, just a number of great looking cars that I am sure were built for comfort rather than speed. I could definitely get into this era of electric traction. And I just love the automobiles that you have depicted here as well. Put those with those early steam engines and you have got me! No doubt about it. Oh, and I too love the early logging trains. Having grown up in the logging area of Maine, you could still see, when I was a kid, some of these early steam engines in the backroads and lumber camps pulling logs out to the main rail lines to be picked up.
Sure am glad you decided to grace us with all of this Tim M.....It's really nice to see a change of pace here and this certainly is that.
Great shots, great idea and am glad you are sharing the pics with us as well. Keep it up! Back in those days there were a lot of these little companies around everywhere. Remember several in some of the larger towns in Maine even into the early fifties. Just loved them.
Anyway, so glad you came by to grace this forum with your work my friend. I really love it. Definitely puts one back into that early era when transportation was in its infancy but when it was so great. You could ride just about anywhere for a few pennies. And you gotta love that.
Thanks for sharing Tim and please stick around a lot more. I know I like having you here, and I am sure others do as well.
Posted 24 December 2004 - 12:13 AM
Hi Mike! Good to see you here! As far as releasing the wierd,- uh wired version of the NA, that would have to cross Andre's desk and get his stamp of approval. When I asked him permission to do this, I told him it was for my own use, and not intended for publication or re-sale, as per the copyright, so he approved. The bat.files are a cool idea tho.

Slipstream's a team to watch – physiological baselines on all their riders, minimum number of out-of-competition tests in the rider contracts, and signing good riders left and right. They're not a "Pro Tour" team, but after the fireworks between the owner
Go Levi.
One thought on "links for 2007-08-03"
Slipstream will be an interesting beast, that's for sure. There's a lot of talent on the team, and they should be in the running (along with Barloworld) for a wild-card TdF entry in 2008.
And Levi is da man! I'm so happy for him, and it's always fun to see a friend do so well on the big stage.

The Walt Disney Company said it had acquired the Childcraft Education Corporation from Grolier Inc. for $52 million, a move that will significantly expand Disney's mail-order business. Disney also said it plans to add 10 East Coast stores to its fledgling retail operation, which now operates three stores that are not on amusement-park grounds.
Steve Burke, vice president of Disney's consumer products division, said that Childcraft, a New Jersey-based maker of children's furniture and equipment, is a good fit because those in its target market are loyal fans of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the rest of the Disney menagerie. Childcraft's mailing list will also help bolster Disney's mail-order business. Last year, 2.8 million copies of the Walt Disney Family Gift Catalogue were mailed. This year, Disney plans to mail eight million copies.

As Catholics, we are all called to Faithful Citizenship
Faithful Citizenship is the mindful consideration of public policy and important issues through the lens of the Church's teaching. It is also a "call to action" to become involved with legislative policy, to be a voice for the vulnerable, and to advocate for the dignity of all.
Faithful Citizenship Series
The WCC has prepared two series of resources designed to help Catholics reflect on what it means to be a Faithful Citizen.
These series provide a fundamental review of issues important to the Church and provide guidance for political engagement.

Cricket Uganda gave 17 secondary schools and 13 ladies' clubs cricket equipment to help them in the development of the game. The equipment is part of the consignment of equipment received by Cricket Uganda from its Australian partners Bankstown District Cricket Club.
Bankstown have been collecting cricket gear from the Bankstown community in Australia since 2004 and sending it to Uganda to help them with their programs. This relationship between Bankstown and Cricket Uganda started at the U19 World Cup in 2004 when the team manager of the Australian U19 team Brian Freedman was touched when he saw a very talented Uganda team share equipment. Since then he has taken it upon himself to collect the equipment on a yearly basis, load it in a container with all shipping costs paid up to Mombasa.
The equipment was given to the 14 schools that recently qualified for the boys' schools cricket week with three schools that will not take part in the cricket week also benefiting from the same gesture. The three schools are Makerere College School, Trinity Academy Bwebajja and Iganga SSS. The 14 schools that received equipment include Teso College, Busoga College Mwiri, Ntare School, Nyakasura School, Masaka SSS, Jinja SSS, Busoga High School, St Johns Mukono, Mukono Parents, Ndejje SSS, Kololo SSS, Kiira College Butiki, Kings College Budo and Kyambogo College School.
13 ladies' cricket clubs also received equipment from Cricket Uganda. The 13 clubs make up the ladies' league and are separated into two divisions. There are six teams in the top division that received equipment include Pioneer, Olila High School, Soroti Challengers, KICC, Jinja SSS and Aziz Damani.
The seven teams in division two that received equipment include Wanderers, Aziz Damani development, Tornado Bee, St John's School, Gayaza High School, Premier Cricket Club, and Ceylon Lions.
The equipment will surely help the clubs and schools develop their own players as well as ensure they can practise in a safe environment.

Changing an ingrained culture in a workplace is a difficult task, especially when it comes to staff training.
In this article we will explore how to introduce an LMS and an elearning strategy into your workplace.
Help staff understand the importance of learning
It goes without saying that the way we do business is changing at a rapid rate, perhaps faster than ever before. At the heart of this change is the digital transformation of businesses. With every bit of new technology comes a need for new training. Staff in most businesses will want to feel empowered to do their jobs to the best of their abilities. It is important that this need for updating knowledge is expressed in the correct way by management.
The introduction of a LMS can help staff feel like they are 'upskilling' rather than being trained, which in the past had negative connotations. An online learning module dedicated to new skills and new technology will be much better received than a mandatory training course.
Make the experience unique
Today information is available at the click of a button. If an employee really wanted to find out information about their job role, or the latest advancements in their industry, they can simply 'Google' it. People primarily go to Google to search and find an answer for an immediate question, or re-visit an answer to a previous question. Finally, though to a lesser degree, they also Google to learn about new things. This is the muscle memory of people towards information access.
Formal learning systems must harness this behavior, as behavior change is hard, and will only lead to learner resistance. It is also important to make any elearning experience as engaging and unique as possible. Consider adding company specific media, images and assessments.
Make sure it's mobile
Your LMS needs to deliver mobile experiences beyond simple mobile access. It must be mobile-aware, bandwidth-aware, and support seamless offline consumption. The information delivery must be equal, if not more efficient, to that on the desktop; for example, geolocation-aware information. Making sure these features are in place will boost the chances of your workforce adapting to the elearning programme. They can complete courses in their own time from anywhere.
Make sure metrics are relatable
One great turn off when it comes to elearning is staff completing assessments as a 'box ticking' exercise. Make sure any assessments are relatable to a particular job role. It is important that the LMS you implement goes beyond process metrics and expands metrics aligned to business goals.
Create notifications and dashboards to allow employees to easily see their progress and milestones. Make sure to notify them of any skills gaps.
Learning and development professionals often have a difficult time getting staff to adapt to new learning strategies, but as time goes by employees seem to be becoming more receptive towards elearning. This could be down to employing a more advanced onboarding strategy or it could be that staff now see personal development through elearning as a necessity in advancing their careers.

Why Perception is the Catalyst for Change
Helping leaders change their behavior for the better can be challenging. What is even more difficult is changing others' perceptions of a leader's behavior. We found out why this is the case and how you, as an executive coach, can help to turn the tide and impact both positive change and perception.
Reputations, positive and negative, form in an incremental, unhurried manner. Leaders start the process once they behave in a certain way. As a result of that behavior, the people around them are primed to notice a repeat performance. Once people see a pattern of resemblance among the leader's actions, they start to form their perception.
So then why is it so difficult to change those perceptions once they have been formed? This is because people, ourselves included, tend to see what they expect to see, not necessarily what is there. They tend to ignore any information that contradicts their currently held beliefs. It's simply how our brains work – to piece together and understand patterns that we experience and toss out details that don't seem to fit. Fortunately, reforming the perceptions of a leader's behavior is possible and achievable, though it will take more than one corrective gesture.
How to Guarantee Lasting Change
The change process starts with a sequence of similar, continuous actions. In other words, leaders have to be consistent with their new behavior. This is doable but does require some discipline and personal insight, which you, as their coach, can help build. This part seems pretty typical in a coaching process: pick behaviors that the leader is committed to improve and work together towards change.
But to guarantee that change sticks requires consistent follow up with the people around the leader (who we call stakeholders). When a leader involves their stakeholders regularly to check in with how they're changing, the stakeholders are positioned to repeatedly acknowledge the difference. As a result, their perception adjusts in the intended way. This leads us to the second question: why is this simple addition to the process so effective?
Why Follow-up Matters
Without the participation of the leader's stakeholders, the leader has changed behind closed doors. Once the leader steps into transparency with those around them, they are held to a level of accountability that truly motivates and accelerates change because, in essence, others are responsible for their progress. It is not enough for the leader to unilaterally declare that they are more effective at, for example, empowering people. It is the stakeholders who will declare that change, thus making it more fact rather than self-declaration.
Further, as the leader takes these steps of courage, humility, and discipline, the team perception of the leader not only shifts away from the negative behaviors and towards positive behaviors, but it begins to form a reputation about that leader that has a trickle-down effect in terms of culture and organizational health. This is how we've seen leaders completely turn around – it's by involving followup with the stakeholders around them.
You may have included some form of follow-up in your coaching process. Are you following up enough, and with the key members who count, to shift perception?

This is a particularly obscure entry in our Country Files today, tucked between the Cook Islands to its east and Tonga to its west: Niuē, commonly known … no wait, it isn't commonly known at all … but when it is, simply without the ligature as Niue!
Niue joined UNESCO on 26 October 1993, making it a real country by everywhs.com's standard —
— although, like the Cook Islands this is different from conventional practice as Niue is not a member of the United Nations; they are a self-governing state within the Realm of New Zealand, with New Zealand generally responsible for foreign affairs —
— and also like the Cook Islands, it has no inscribed or tentative World Heritage Sites yet!
MTP and TCC both count Niue as one place. And a small place at that; if you're looking for a remote unspoiled Pacific island you can cycle around in three hours or so, this is the place!

The Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) has the reputation of being one of the easier sea anemones to keep and comes in a few different colors or varieties.
There are many clownfish species that will host with this anemone (see below), with the most common being the Maroon Clownfish.
You don't need to have a clownfish to keep an anemone, though watching the symbiotic relationship between the clownfish and the anemone is one of the most fascinating aspects of aquarium keeping. The opposite holds true as well. You don't have to keep an anemone if you want to keep clownfish.

The NFL has gone high-tech. New for the 2015 season, every player has a tracker embedded in his shoulder pads that collects data like velocity, distance traveled and proximity to opposing players. Zebra Technologies is the company behind the tech, and the insights they provide are letting fans see the game in a whole new light.
Week 12 produced more impressive data, and many of the players behind the numbers were STACK athletes. Let's take a look at who popped off the spreadsheet and tell you about the workouts behind their performance.

1. Carson Palmer Ran Faster Than AP
Although Carson Palmer wasn't a popular pick for MVP coming into the 2015 season, his stellar play has him in the thick of that conversation. Palmer has piled up 27 touchdowns versus just 9 interceptions and is averaging over 300 passing yards per game. Although his arm is a big reason why the Cardinals are 9-2, it was Palmer's legs that made a crucial play in week 12.
With just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Cardinals tied with the 49ers, Palmer surprised everyone by pulling the ball down and sprinting into the end zone for his first rushing touchdown since 2012. On the play he reached a top speed of 18.88 mph—slightly faster than Adrian Peterson's Week 12 top speed of 18.86 mph.
That Palmer can still make plays like this is a marvel. When he tore his ACL last season, many experts believed his career was over. It's hard to blame them—it was Palmer's second ACL tear in 8 years, and it was hard to imagine someone his age bouncing back from such a debilitating injury. But Palmer worked his tail off in the off-season, spending eight hours a day rehabbing and working out with a focus on coming back even stronger. It's safe to say the hard work paid off, since Palmer now has the Cardinals looking like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Check out the incredible off-season routine that rebuilt Palmer from the ground up.

2. Luke Kuechly Can Do it All
With their Week 12 dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys, the Carolina Panthers remained undefeated. The outstanding play of Cam Newton has been pivotal, but we cannot overlook the Panthers defense. It is one of the best in the NFL, allowing just 312.5 yards of offense per game—second best in the league after Denver—and their 28 total takeaways is six more than any other team.
If Newton is the linchpin of the Carolina offense, Luke Kuechly is the heart of their defense. Though he missed three games early in the season due to a concussion, Kuechly leads the team in total tackles and has tallied three interceptions and two forced fumbles. Two of those interceptions came in Week 12, as Kuechly haunted Tony Romo all game. And Kuechly took one of those interceptions back to the house for a pick-6, registering a top speed of 18.37 mph—the fastest of any interception return in Week 12.
With a dynamic offense built around Cam and a punishing defense led by Kuechly, the Panthers are a good bet to remain undefeated.
Kuechly builds his acceleration and lower-body power with drills like Uphill Sled Drags.

3. Eddie Lacy Is Picking Up Steam
Last week, we pointed out that Packers RB Eddie Lacy is at his best when he's running downhill and using his momentum, size and power to his advantage. That fact was proven once again in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Lacy racked up 105 yards on 17 carries, notching consecutive 100-yard games for the first time this season. He did it by running downhill, breaking tackles and earning tough yardage.
The stat called "distance run per scrimmage yard gained" (DRPSYG) reveals how far a running back has to run to gain one positive rushing yard. In Week 12, Lacy's DRPSYG was just 2.72—his lowest of the season. That means he was predominantly running downhill and avoiding an east-west running style, which is exactly how you'd expect a 5-foot-11, 234-pound back to find success.
These aren't dazzling big plays, but they're the kind of tough runs that wear a defense down over time (especially in the colder months). While the Packers' passing game has been slacking recently, their running game has picked up. If Lacy continues to run this efficiently, and the air attack rounds into form, the Packers should have a potent offense by the time the playoffs roll around.
Lacy builds his dynamic balance of speed and power with drills like Uphill Sled-Resisted Sprints.

Leave No Trace was incorporated as a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization in 1994, though the Leave No Trace concept is over a half-century old.
In 1987, a "no trace" program was formed for wilderness and backcountry travel. The U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management cooperatively distributed a pamphlet entitled "Leave No Trace Land Ethics." In the early 1990s, the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) was enlisted to develop hands-on, science-based minimum impact education training for non-motorized recreational activities. Then, in 1993, an Outdoor Recreation Summit with land management agencies, NGOs and members of the outdoor industry convened in Washington DC to form an independent Leave No Trace organization. Leave No Trace, Inc., was incorporated in 1994.
The organization, now known as the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, develops and expands Leave No Trace training and educational resources. The Leave No Trace Center conducts important research that impacts public lands and the general public. It engages with a diverse range of partners from the federal land management agencies and outdoor industry corporations to nonprofit environmental and outdoor organizations and youth-serving groups.
In 1994, the Center entered into the first of a series of Memorandums of Understandings with four primary federal land management agencies including the United States Department of Agriculture — Forest Service and the United States Department of the Interior — Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service. Recently, the United States Army Corps of Engineers joined these federal land management agencies. In 2007, the National Association of State Parks Directors, the governing organization for state parks in the United States, and the Center developed a formal affiliate partnership to expand the possible use of the Leave No Trace program on state park lands.
Today, the Leave No Trace program reaches over 15 million Americans and dozens of countries each year with conservation initiatives, education, training, research and outreach. Corporate partners, individual members, foundation support, and the sales of Leave No Trace educational materials provide the primary support for the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
A national, volunteer-based Board of Directors made up of leaders from the outdoor industry, national youth-serving organizations, nonprofit organizations, and the scientific community provide strategic leadership and set policy. A staff headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, carry out the organization's programs and mission-related work.

US military guide to Iraq goes online: "A VALUABLE guide to Iraq published by the US military has gone online.
It points out that the country has its own monarchy with an elected legislature.
The country is now guarded by British troops to prevent the Germans from gaining control.
While most Americans and Europeans who have gone to Iraq didn't like it at first, nearly all of these same peoplechanged their minds.
'That tall man in the flowing robe you are going to see soon, with the whiskers and the long hair, is a first-class fighting man, highly skilled in guerilla warfare. Few fighters, in any country, in fact excel him in that kind of situation. If he is your friend, he can be a staunch and valuable ally. If he should happen to be your enemy – look out!'

12 Things I Knew About Motherhood At 30 That I Wish I'd Known At 25
Motherhood is one continual learning curve that doesn't have an end point, even when your kids are grown. The older I get, the more I appreciate those things I knew about motherhood at 30 that I wish I'd known at 25 because, while a lot of that knowledge comes with living through specific experiences, the lessons probably saved me a lot of headaches and mistakes with my second child.
When I got pregnant at 24, I'd already been divorced once and my current partner and I had been together for over a year. Pregnancy wasn't something we'd planned on and took all the precautions but, even still, it happened and I'm so glad it did. Becoming a mother just a few months before turning 25 meant not knowing what I was doing (most of the time) and learning on the fly. At the time, I hoped I could do a good job and not accidentally traumatize my daughter in anyway but, honestly, there was just so much I didn't yet know.
Once I had my son, just before my 30th birthday, I'd already learned and grown so much. It was evident both children would get a different version of me but, in the end, I think that's OK. Now that I've turned *cough* 35 *cough*, it's crystal clear I've taken in more over the last five years since having my second child. It's not that I didn't try to learn at 25; with a brain still changing and evolving, I just wasn't always capable. Now that I'm right in the middle of my 30s, I'm a better mother than ever (however still fallible) because I know what's worked and what hasn't.
It's Not Always Easy
Before motherhood, I only pictured the highlight reel: the snuggles, baby clothes, first everythings, and more. I somehow blocked out the important all-consuming things (which I think is part of the new mother brain). I wish I'd known it's more than the good parts — it's work and it's hard.
(But so totally worth it.)
I Might Channel My Mom
I used to cringe at the thought of becoming — gasp! — my mother. Low and behold, as the years flew by there were parts of me tapping into some of her ways. I wish I'd known not to fight it, because it would only end up as wasted energy.
Doubt Is Part Of The Process
Because of a turbulent childhood, there wasn't a single day that passed in which I felt confident in my ability to raise another human being. Looking back, I wasn't only doing an OK job but a fantastic job. I wish I'd trusted in myself more, instead of worrying every last moment into dust.
Try To Find The Humor
I get that sometimes, when sleep deprived and cranky, it's hard to laugh about whatever is going on. At the time, I sank further into doubt and depression rather than looking for things I was doing well or right. Now, my first instinct is to laugh first, stress second. It works most of the time.
Ignore All The Voices
Everyone has an opinion about how to raise your children once you announce you're pregnant. I didn't know not to listen to all of it so, instead, I'd stress myself out doing all these things to make everyone else happy while making myself, my partner, and our baby miserable.
At 30, I ditched those opinions and did my own thing. I got this.
Protect Your Sleep
I laughed when mothers would tell me how little sleep I'd get after baby. That is, of course, until I had said baby. It's life-altering to go from all the sleep to none and remain functional. Back then I really didn't know to leave the housework, laundry, and other chores when the baby napped so that I could nap to. Instead, I'd exhaust myself even more in trying to do it all and be everything to everyone.
By the time I had my son at 30, I wasn't about to do a damn thing when he slept (which wasn't much, by the way) because sleep was way more important for my state of mind.
Your Relationship Will Change
My partner and I had a wonderful relationship before my pregnancy (except for lingering communication issues, but I digress). Things changed, as they tend to do once there's a baby in the mix, but in ways I hadn't prepared for. My expectations remained too high to remain realistic. At 25, I assumed we'd get on like nothing changed: our romantic life would be somewhat altered (but mostly the same), we'd still hang out like we always had, and we'd make dates priority. Ha!
At 30, I know it's not always possible to have date night when you have children, hanging out is typically the whole family, and our romantic life, while important, has changed and rightfully so. We're not just lovers anymore: we're parents. Our relationship is definitely a priority but in order to be happy with where we are in life, it was far easier to go into the birth of my son knowing things would change from sex to cuddling sometimes and from hot dinners out to intimate conversation at home. Eventually, this all became our new normal and it's all good.
Remember The Good Days
At 25, everything overwhelmed me as a first-time mother. It was easy to get caught up in the negatives and bad days. Five years later, I was vigilant about savoring those good times knowing the bad would pass. That's life.
Mistakes Are OK
When you've never been a parent before, it's only natural to not want to fail at it and, most likely, you're doing everything you can to avoid it. Those times I did something remotely wrong or felt like I'd made a mistake, I took it hard. I didn't want to fail my daughter.
With my son, I now know it's going to happen because I'm imperfect. All I can promise is that I'll always try my best and learn from any mistakes made. I think that's what parenting is.
Savor The Little Things
The thing about motherhood is, it goes fast. I know you hear it a million times and brush it off but, seriously, it's going, going, going. At 25, I couldn't have possibly known all those little bedtime tuck-ins and dance parties would soon evolve into different things. I wish I'd appreciated the moments with my young daughter more, before we had her brother.
At 30, I was determined not to let the fleeting minutes pass without etching them on my heart because I didn't want to forget another small thing — the smell of his hair, his laugh, the way he looks at me — again.
It Really Does Get Better
The hard days sometimes won't feel anything but hard. I've tried to salvage some of them only to end up feeling worse. What I've learned is, sometimes the bad days can be just that. Accept it, go to bed with a clear head, and wake up ready to conquer the new day. Life is in motion. If it's bad one day, rest assured, the next will bring some peace.
You Can Do This
When I had my daughter at 25, I wasn't sure how good I'd be at it. Self-conscious and fearful of doing anything wrong, it was difficult to see my worth as her mother. She's 10 now and amazing. All those times I thought I failed? I didn't and, the thing is, she doesn't remember most of what I carry around with regret. That time she fell off the bed and cut her forehead open? She has no memory of it. I did a great job back then, I just didn't give myself any credit, and while there's still time for me to mess up (!), I wish I knew I was on the right track.
Becoming a mother at 25, then again at 30, means I've learned a lot of different lessons. I've grown, matured, and hopefully adapted to the changing ways of bother kids. I only wish now, I could travel back in time to tell my younger self this: No matter what you're going through or feeling right now, you're going to be OK and your kids will love every last piece of you. Every. Last. Piece.

If you forget your laundry in the dryer and find it is extremely wrinkled, try misting each piece lightly with water in a spray bottle. The wrinkles will smooth right out.

My grandson arrived home from college with most of his double knit basketball shorts and knit long casual athletic sport pants hopelessly wrinkled. He said he put them in the dorm dryer and forgot about them. I tried rewashing and drying them, but it didn't help. How can I get rid of those wrinkles?
By Judy
If you have re washed and still can remove wrinkles boil some water not too hot ,then get a small storage plastic bin rectangular if possible lay clothes neatly if possible and soak until water cools completely then ring out carefully and add to dryer it should be wrinkle free
Thanks it works.

Recent reviews
Very good 8,4 From 32 reviews
This is more a room in an apartment block than a hotel, there are 3 rooms and no staffed reception desk. This is important as despite arranging arrival time in advance there was no one present to let us in on our arrival which was early evening. We rang a contact number but waited around an hour outside the apartment as due to traffic it took the owners a long time to get to us. This was not a great start! On arriving, the owners were very nice. They gave us some useful local information and were friendly. The room is located less than 2 minutes from a metro station somis easy to get to from termini station in central rome. This is also the nearest metro to Vatican city and so the location is ideal for exploring the sights in this area. Compared to much of Rome, especially in this location, the cost was reasonable. The room was small but had necessary facilities including reasonable free wifi connection. The room was noisy however, with very thin walls meaning we could hear a lot of activity from neighbouring rooms / corridors. Overall, this is a well located reasonably priced hotel but quality is at best average and check-in for us was frustrating.
I highly recommend this property. It is quaint (only three rooms) and you get great personal service. It is very clean. The room is well provisioned (TV, Refrigerator, Tea Pot for hot water). The location could not be better as it is very close to the Metro Line, several bus lines, and only a few blocks from the Vatican. Many places to eat in the area and there is ever a little shop for picking up necessities just a few doors down.

Because people with IDD can be concrete thinkers, Circles provides concrete training for people to "see" relationships. They learn at their own pace about intimacy and distance, and touch, talk and trust in all levels of relationships to help keep them safe and enhance being with people.
I have worked as a therapist specializing in trauma for typical and non-typical learners, and for educational needs surrounding social/sexual boundaries. I have provided training to parents, agencies, administrators, and staff to support them and further their understanding of the needs and desires of this population.
As a member of American Association of Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (FAAIDD, I have been named Fellow for meritorious contributions to the agency and field.

Aggressive deer on Red Cedar Drive
WildSafeBC Elk Valley reported today (June 12) that an aggressive deer has been reported on Red Cedar Drive.
Female deer (does) can be aggressive during the fawning season (May and June). Deer are normally timid animals but if they become habituated to humans they can become a danger. Never approach or feed deer.
If deer are responding to your presence, you are too close. Keep a distance of 15 to 20 metres.
If a deer does attack you, stay upright as they inflict injury by striking at their opponent with their sharp hooves. Cover your head with your arms and back off to some form of shelter.
Keep dogs on a leash, but if deer charge towards you drop the leash so the dog can escape and try to place a solid object (tree or car) between you and the deer.
Male deer (bucks) can be aggressive during the mating season (November and December)
Deer are especially hard to remove from a neighbourhood once they have established themselves, so it is important that deer do not feel comfortable in your yard.
Call the Conservation Officer Service on 1-877-952-7277 to report human/wildlife conflict or wildlife incidents when there is a threat to human safety.
Editor's note: earlier today it was reported that an aggressive bear was reported on Red Cedar Drive but there was apparently a mix-up in reports filed.

Remember a few years back when the Louisiana Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors threatened to throw a bunch of Benedictine monks in jail unless they ceased and desisted selling simple, wooden caskets to help support their Abbey? Remember a little later, after failing to get the stupid funeral industry protectionist statute repealed, the monks sued the Board?
Well, it seems that the case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and last October (after I'd already moved North), the statute was declared unconstitutional! The monks have successfully resumed their craft and are doing quite well, thank you very much.
And, remember back a few years when the NFL sent cease and desist letters to mom and pop businesses who were using the phrase "Who Dat" on merchandise before the Saints played in and won the Black and Gold Super Beauxl? And how the NFL ultimately relented?
Well. These two subjects have merged.
It seems that, shortly after the Supreme Court decision last fall, a new business opened in Esplanade Mall, near the New Orleans airport, named "'Til We Meet Again."
They sell caskets and urns.
(Does the very notion of having a Casket Store in your friendly neighborhood mall creep anyone else out as badly as it does me? *shiver* )
Anyway, the particular casket pictured above (and you do not want to know how many tricks I had to try to get that image to download!) has raised the wrath of the NFL and they're furiously sending out casket cease and desist letters, alleging trademark violations.
The store slightly modified the fleur de lis, but that wasn't good enough.
So far, the NFL has refused comment.
*Snicker* It's gonna be fun to see where this goes.
What is it with Louisiana and caskets, anyway?!?!

What is it with Louisiana and caskets, anyway?!?!ReplyDelete
I have NO ideer. All I know is I'll not be in need of a casket... I want an urn. With Red Wings logo. ;-)
What about Charlemagne? What about the Boy Scouts? What about the Province of Quebec? They all use/used the fleur de lis.ReplyDelete
I too am intrigued.ReplyDelete
You may have found a source, Buck!ReplyDelete
Yeah, EO, but not in combo with black and gold. This one looks pretty much like the Saints registered fleur de lis. We shall see.
Keep me posted on any inside scoop, Ron! See you next week!
Hey, you gotta look good for that second line to really take off.ReplyDelete
Good point, Murph.ReplyDelete

Jennifer Sirangelo
Jennifer Sirangelo believes in young people and their capacity to change the world. As the first woman president and CEO in the National 4-H Council's 100-year history, she leads Council's mission to increase investment and participation in 4-H's high-quality, positive youth development programs. .
Council is the nonprofit partner to the nation's 4-H movement, supporting leadership development for nearly six million young people through diverse and inclusive programs in agriculture, science, health and citizenship through alliances with America's philanthropic sector. Sirangelo joined Council in 2006.

Experience the Best Teacher for Educators-in-Training
CGU's Department of Teacher Education was the first in the nation to put student-teachers in school classrooms for a simple reason: The best learning happens through experience.
This summer, that learning-by-doing principle was again on display in downtown Pomona's art district at the School of Arts and Enterprise (SAE). Over the past three years, the SAE has established a special partnership with the university's Department of Teacher Education to offer summer programs for local youths.
While students in grades 3-9 received enrichment classes that were academic in nature, a group of participating student-teachers from CGU received much-needed practical training.
"The program provides our candidates with an authentic school experience in which to hone their skills," explained DeLacy Ganley, director of the Department of Teacher Education.
The student-teachers developed their skills with the guidance of several master teachers, many of whom are alumni of the CGU's teacher education program. The program ran for five weeks, with CGU student-teachers conducting enrichment classes and classes for credit recovery.
The program is free to students, but donations are welcome. Applications for the SAE program can be found by visiting the SAE website.
Visit the CGU website to learn more about teacher education, which is part of the university's School of Educational Studies.

Special Guest: Jason Gates, Founder & CEO, Compology
On this episode of Bootstrapped, we interviewed UMD alumnus and co-Founder and CEO of Compology, Jason Gates. Compology provides the only image-based container monitoring hardware and software that allows for increased revenue generation, efficiency, transparency and sustainability across the waste and recycling industries. Compology streamlines the waste and recycling collection process for waste haulers, generators and regulators. The idea for Compology started in 2012 when Jason thought to join his passion and background in waste management with his co-founder's experiences in sensor technology. While Compology initially focused only on monitoring food waste, through customer feedback and market analysis the founders decided to pivot their initial idea to encompass all streams of solid waste. In this episode, Jason discusses how his startup evolved over time and how his hands-on approach and flexibility with customers allowed him to build extensive brand loyalty.
The Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship produces Bootstrapped, a podcast featuring founders, investors and serial entrepreneurs. While the podcast covers many aspects of startup life, the heart of the show focuses on funding from both the founder and investor perspectives, thus the name Bootstrapped.

Tensegrity Robots are a class of soft robots gaining attention due to their ease-of-assembly, ability to preserve structural integrity under physical deformation, and ability to move with dynamic gaits. Previous work has shown how optimization techniques can be used to find the optimal gait in a given environment to move as efficiently as possible. The problem with these techniques, however, is that they suffer from the "Cold Start," where they need to re-learn the optimal gait for the robot when it is deployed in new, unseen conditions and environments. Our research explores how we can use Transfer Learning to leverage knowledge from previously seen and learnt environment, called Source Task, to a new environment, called Target Task, in order to learn these gaits faster. We use Bayesian Optimization as our base optimization technique and a Transfer Learning Framework that models the distance between the Source and Target tasks. This approach shows an improvement in both the performance of the learned gait in the Target Task and the number of optimization trials it takes to learn this optimal gait.
