The hotel service is excellent. English speaking people helped us to address our needs if necessary. However, the mattresses and pillows are very strong; I wished they were more "soft" or flexible. Hotel surrounding is excellent because you have a very nice view at the Lago di Como, just opposite to the famous village Bellagio. But beware of the street in front of the hotel :-) Traffic is heavy and the noise of this traffic can be heart at night even with windows closed. The air-condition of the room could be more comfortable when temperature is more than 25 degrees Celsius outside.

Enforcing Immigration Law at the State and Local Levelsby Don Prosnitz Jessica Saunders Nelson Lim
Almost 12 million out-of-status aliens currently reside in the United States. The federal government does not require state and local agencies to carry out specific immigration enforcement actions; however, comprehensive immigration reform may do so in the near future. This paper describes variations in enforcement approaches and making their pros and cons more explicit.
Managing Diversity in Corporate America: An Exploratory Analysisby Margaret C. Harrell Jefferson P. Marquis Nelson Lim Jennifer Erin Kavanagh Lynn M. Scott
Develops a fact-based approach to modeling diversity management in U.S. corporations, analyzes the strategies pursued by 14 large U.S. companies recognized for their diversity or human resource achievements, and compares a number of company characteristics. Firms recognized for diversity are distinguished by a core set of motives and practices, but best practices per se may not enable a company to achieve a high level of diversity.

Forward Wisconsin conducts two major prospecting trips to major metropolitan areas, typically to Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul, and also conducts one or two minor prospecting trips to smaller communities or specific target industries. According to staff, a major prospecting trip takes about three months from the planning phase until it is completed and requires follow-up with CEOs who continue to show interest in expanding in Wisconsin. The major steps in planning, organizing, and conducting a prospecting trip include: (a) purchasing or obtaining a mailing of targeted CEOs for the metropolitan area; (b) developing a letter from the Governor and other direct mail pieces (such as advantages of doing business in Wisconsin); (c) mailing the letter and other information to CEOs; (d) advertising the prospecting trip in local business publications; (e) telemarketing of CEOs to make appointments with economic development team members; (f) conducting meetings with interested executives; (g) identifying leads--businesses with plans to expand within the next 18 months that have a defined interest in Wisconsin as a company location; and (h) conducting follow-up activities to remain in contact with interested CEOs. In fiscal year 2001-02, Forward Wisconsin directly contacted through letters and follow-up telemarketing more than 7,500 CEOs in the Chicago and Minneapolis/St Paul metropolitan areas. In addition, the Forward Wisconsin team participated in the National Design and Engineering Show (Chicago), Bio 2002 (Toronto), two national real estate executive association meetings (Dallas and Nashville), one regional real estate executive chapter meeting (Afton, MN), and an international meeting with Japanese CEOs (Wichita, KS). 4. GreatJobsWI.com is an interactive website developed by Forward Wisconsin. Businesses can use the interactive site to post job vacancies, profile the company, and download resumes posted by job seekers. Participating businesses receive direct e-mail notification within 24 hours of candidates matching new job postings. Job seekers have access to job postings, additional career information, and related links. Resumes can be e-mailed directly to employers and job openings are e-mailed to all registered matching job seekers. 5. Forward Wisconsin coordinates its economic development activities with those undertaken by the Department of Commerce. Forward Wisconsin is responsible for out-of-state marketing and business attraction, while Commerce is responsible for existing business retention, expansion, financial programs, and state business expansion to international markets. 6. Forward Wisconsin's revenue for 2002-03 is projected to be $1,056,000. About 45 percent ($475,000) is aid from the state through Commerce, while the remaining $581,000 is from private investment, promotional activities, and interest. Projected expenditures for 2002-03 are $1,063,000. (The difference in expenditures will be funded from a prior year budget surplus.) Page 2 Commerce (Paper #215) 7. According to the administration, a primary method of increasing government efficiency is to focus on the core mission of each agency and to reevaluate activities that are not related to that mission. Although it receives funding through Commerce, Forward Wisconsin is not part of the Department. The two agencies coordinate activities, but Forward Wisconsin is not part of Commerce's state operations. From this perspective, if the Committee wishes to further reduce GPR funding for Commerce it could further reduce the amount of funding provided to Forward Wisconsin. 8. Forward Wisconsin received $500,000 GPR in state funding in each fiscal year from 1984-85 through 1991-92. The organization received $400,000 GPR in 1992-93 and $500,000 GPR again for 1993-94 and 1994-95. The 1995-97 budget bill reduced annual funding to $250,000 GPR for each year of the biennium. In 1995-96, total revenues were $761,900, of which $505,300 (66%) were provided by private investment and $250,000 (32.8%) was state funding. In 1996-97 total revenues were $772,300, with $517,700 (67%) from private investment and $250,000 (32%) in state funding. Other sources of income include interest and miscellaneous revenues. State funding was returned to $500,000 GPR in the 1997-99 biennial budget. As an alternative, the Committee could reduce the annual level of state support to Forward Wisconsin by an additional $120,000 GPR to $250,000 GPR--the level provided during the 1995-97 biennium. More annual funding could be considered in future biennia when the state's fiscal condition improves. 9. Annual base level funding for Forward Wisconsin was reduced by $25,000 GPR in 2001 Wisconsin Act 109 (the 2001-03 budget review act) and would be further reduced by $95,000 GPR annually under the Governor's budget recommendation. The net result would be to reduce annual base level state funding for Forward Wisconsin to $380,000 GPR. 10. Staff would point to a recent study that indicated a 500% return on investment for state funds provided to Forward Wisconsin. In 2000, Forward Wisconsin sent surveys to 206 businesses that located operations in the state between 1984 and 2000. Sixty-two surveys were returned and Forward Wisconsin contracted with an economic development consultant (Relevant Economic Analysis Limited) to analyze the results. The consultant's study found that, for the year 1999, companies that Forward Wisconsin helped locate in the state: (a) employed 14,500 workers who generate nearly $1 billion in sales revenue in the state; (b) paid almost $460 million in wages and salaries: (c) purchased over $300 million of Wisconsin-based goods and services; (d) paid almost $40 million in state individual and corporate income and franchise taxes; and (e) donated $4.6 million to community interest groups. 11. It is difficult to quantitatively measure the success of an economic development program since many factors are usually involved in a decision to relocate or expand a business in Wisconsin. Many of Forward Wisconsin's efforts that the organization has identified as successful were accomplished jointly with local and regional economic development organizations, state businesses, and the Department of Commerce. Moreover, some economic research indicates that economic development incentives and programs have a modest effect on business location and expansion decisions. However, other economic studies have shown that incentives contribute to job growth and economic development. Commerce (Paper #215) Page 3 12. Economic development strategies have evolved over time, with new strategies not necessarily replacing the old, but being added to them. One of the earliest strategies was attracting firms, followed by focusing on creating new businesses, and working with businesses to lower costs and encourage growth. Recently, there has been concern that state economic development strategies are inadequate to meet the circumstances of the new economy of the twenty-first century. In the new economy, a firm's competitive advantage is based on information, ideas, and technology. Many states have revised their economic development strategies to ensure that they encourage development of these three factors. As a result, state economic development policy has focused on: (a) improving the capacity of firms by improving the quality of their inputs, particularly in education, workforce development, and infrastructure; (b) improving the competitiveness of firms by helping them adopt modernizing technology and updated business practices; (c) encouraging collaboration and networking among firms; and (d) targeting economic development efforts to the needs of industrial clusters. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the Governor's recommendation to delete $95,000 GPR annually in funding for Forward Wisconsin. 2. Approve the Governor's recommendation and delete an additional $120,000 GPR ($215,000 total) annually in funding for Forward Wisconsin. Alternative 2 GPR 2003-05 FUNDING (Change to Bill) - $240,000 3. Delete provision. Alternative 3 GPR 2003-05 FUNDING (Change to Bill) $190,000 Prepared by: Ron Shanovich Page 4 Commerce (Paper #215)

Easy Drain Humidity Tray
I'm dreading bringing my orchids back in the house because of the time I end up spending lugging the pots to the sink to leach them, water them and drain them. I love my chids but It is messy and takes me more time than I have (and often makes me late for work!)
I know that the time has been helpful to me for it's hands on effect, getting me to inspect and find things, growths, bugs, etc, but I could easily have more relaxed and thoughtful, quality time, without all the messy lugging.
I found the easy drain humidity trays online. Has anyone used these and are they worth the $35 plus s&H charge for a 26X12 tray. Since I'll need multiple trays, thought it would be worth asking.
I've seen those easy-drain trays, and they are very tempting. I haven't tried them, but I do use the heavy-duty brown trays that you can get at Oak Hill. Those are sturdy and fairly good to look at, and they let you water in situ.
I've devised a way of draining the Oak Hill trays without carrying overflowing trays to the sink.
Take a 2-towel length of paper towels, and fold the long way so you have a long strip about 1" wide. Wet the paper towel strip completely, put one end into the water in the humidity tray and let the other end drip into a bucket that is below the level of the humidity tray
This makes a wick-siphon, the water in the tray wicks onto the moist paper towel and drips into the bucket. Takes a couple of hours to empty the tray, while you do other things.
I've used this method for a couple of winters, and it works to empty the trays. Beats the sloshing all the way to the sink method.
If you do buy the high-end trays, please let us know how they work out.
Faster method for draining trays:
Take a piece of aquarium tubing, stick one end in the tray and the other end in a bucket. When you want to drain the tray, just suck on the end in the bucket and the water starts to flow. If you use two or three pieces of tubing at once, you can drain a tray in minutes. The bucket has to be below the level of the tray though.
Great suggestions, all, thanks!
Kevin, if your trays don't get gross, you truly are amazing (or just have too much time on your hands :)
I like that large tray, but I think a darker color (brown or even black) would be helpful to absorb heat in the winter months?
Mehitabel, you are resourceful, I may just try that, expecially since the paper towels can be tossed and not stored between uses.
However, Julie, your idea may win in the end, just for ease of use.
Aint no way I'm taking any chance of swallowing runoff. Yuck.
Thanks all!
No, I don't have too much time on my hands, I just like to be efficient when doing menial tasks. If you keep the trays slightly slanted the water collects at one end and you siphon it off. If you do that, he trays don't get green. You also don't need to suck water into your mouth. Just get the process going and the water flows.
"Just get the process going," he says. But what if it's not one-trial learning? What if there's a learning curve? And what if you succeed the first 2 times and then fail the 3rd and 4th? You could die, that's what.
Maybe you could thread Mehitabel's paper towels through Kevin's tubing to get the process going and then pull out the paper towels so the siphoning went faster. Maybe wrap the p. towels around some wire heavy enough to push through. Am I making this too complicated?
Julie, some genius thought up that self-siphoning rig just so that disgusting green gunky grudge couldn't touch our lips. Thanks for the tip.
have not bought any in a long time but i am cheap. i use 12 x18 seedling trays or flats with no holes in them. cost about $0.89 and then seedling inserts about $0.89. which are strong enough to hold up orchid pots. if they get too dirty you can just trow them away. or you can wash in bleach. if you have four feet of aquarium tubing. there is no way you will be getting that sluge in your mouth. if your reflexes are that slow i hope you don't drive a car.
They don't have the siphon dealies @ our Home Depot, but the nice guy said he got his at an auto parts store. Mehitabel, where did yours come from?
Ron, 4' of tubing sounds safe. I was picturing a shorter piece that would go from the tray to the bucket directly below w/ a few inches left over. Your solution w/ the seedling trays is a good idea.
Aquarium tubing does not work! The resistance due to the small diameter is too great for liquid. Been there, done that. You need at least 1/2 inch tubing (available at Home Depot, Lowes etc.) or cut sections of garden hose.
Here is what I did, and works very well for watering fast draining SH pots indoors.
You need:
Big plastic sweater box
large diameter tubing (1/2" or garden hose)
Spade bits for drill [I guess you could melt the hole with a soldering iron too]
Plummers Goop adhesive (or any other Goop should work)
1" PVC tubing
egg crate light diffuser pannel
Drill a hole through the long side wall of the box at floor level [near to one of the short side walls so that you can glue the tubing to both the floor of the box and to the bottom of the wall of the box] and insert about 6-8" of tubing into the box. Glue in place [apply several coats over a couple of days, use a lot of Goop, cover the whole tube - swabbing the plastic with alcohol, or simply washing with soapy water will help the Goop stick better]. You will need enough tubing to reach the floor, where you will place a bucket on watering day.
It has to be done this way because if you try to stick the tubing through the bottom it won't glue and drain right.
By placing the tubing against one wall, so it looks like it is coming out of the corner of the box, you can tilt the whole box a little for better drainage.
To get the plants up off of the bottom of the tray you could use a bunch of inverted pots under the egg crate, but the PVC is better. Cut the egg crate to fit the bottom of the box [I use the back of a saw or large kitchen knife and just wack the row of squares that needs to be cut. The plastic will give way like a zipper]
Cut the PVC a little shorter than the egg crate (a cross cut saw is faster than a hack saw. The plastic is pretty soft. Attach two lengths of PVC under the egg crate with Zip ties so the you have a "floor" above the bottom of the tray, which will not resist the flow of the draining water.
With this bottom the process of picking up the egg crate flooring to clean the box is so much easier than anything else you can come up with.
When not watering just loop the tube up into the back of the box.
This all sounds complicated but the materials are soft and easy to work with and the design is hard to screw up. The spade bits come in a pack of three, and don't cost that much.
Compared to buying something off the shelf (and multiples of it for many plants)This method is cheap and you can choose the size of sweater boy to fit your space. You can also make a several of these at a time. When I stopped growing indoors I moved mine into the greenhouse and put them on the gravel floor to hold pots steady, so you can move these out into the yard in the summer.
It doesn't work well if you have passive entry into the tubing rather than starting the flow by sucking-siphoning. I'm guessing many people would like to water their pots properly while they are sitting in the tray, and have drainage that is fast enough to prevent a lake from forming around the base of their pots.
There is an easy way to drain your humidity trays.
Go to http://www.jehmco.com/html/bulkhead_fittings.html
I used PHBBFL014C, which is a 1/4" elbow bulkhead fitting requiring a 1/2" hole.
Drill a 1/2" hole in the middle of the side of your humidity tray, insert the bulkhead fitting and voila. easy drainage. You'll want to put it in the side so that you can retain water up to the level of the hole of where your fitting exits.
I use a drip irrigation system and then my humidity trays go to the drain. Because of the ease of which I can drain the trays, I actually put extra drip fittings that go straight into the tray so I can flush the trays out and prevent the scum from forming.

How about Austerity for Big Oil? Next time a mouthy CEO talks about the need for entitlement reform, remind him or her of the fact that oil companies have been big recipients of handouts from the government for years. I'm sorry, but YOU'RE the freeloader. Everything was supposed to be "on the table" in the crafting of deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. But in the end, congressional Democrats and Republicans skipped over some of the most glaring tax perks and giveaways. Case in point: Congress didn't touch billions of dollars a year in freebies to the oil and gas industry that pad the profit margins of companies such as ExxonMobil and BP.

You're not alone, girlie. This is an uncomfortable experience that tends to be common in young women. But since you can't avoid cold weather (or A.C. on warm summer days), there are ways that you can stop your fingers and fingernails from being affected by the frigid air.
What you're probably experiencing is called Raynaud's Phenomenon, which causes your blood vessels to spasm in cold weather and reduce the blood supply to your fingers. When this happens, your fingers start to change colors (usually from pale white to red), and begin to feel painful (which explains your stiff fingertips). This just means that the blood is not circulating as much in your fingers as it needs to, but luckily, it's not too hard to get the blood flowing again.
To stop this from happening, be sure to wear warm gloves when you're outside in the cold. If your fingers are turning red from the frosty A.C., place them in a warm spot on your body, like your neck or underarms, and let them absorb some heat. Sticking your fingers under a faucet with warm running water will also help bring back circulation, and so will rubbing or massaging your fingers until they get warm.
Because your fingers stiffen when their blood flow is blocked, you can reduce that stiffness by making sure the blood keeps moving. Reducing stress, exercising regularly and drinking less caffeine will get rid of those circulation problems so you won't have to worry about them anymore.

Legend of the Seas Cruise Review by jaw070701: Great Cruise - Ship needs some work

Great Cruise - Ship needs some work
We had a great cruise. We had fantastic weather, good ports of calls, nice meals and good entertainment. However, the ship needs some work. We were in a JR. Suite and could hear carts rolling above us day and night. We often smelled a sewage smell in bathrooms and when leaving the ship. And the buffet was small, uninspired and crowded.
We had MTD and only had a short wait one night. They issued a beeper and within 20 minutes we were seated. We did two ships excursions - one walking tour in Split and another to Delos. Both were good but the one in Split was uninspiring. We saw the sights but it felt a bit rushed and "touristy". The other , in Delos , was really the only option to get there. We liked it, the tour guide was good and I think we made a good choice. All other excursions were private.
We did enjoy two of the musical entertainers, Tony B and the classical guitarist. The arial acrobats were fun but I was expecting a bit more. The guest stage entertainers were More fantastic and included a violinist, magician and a Beach Boys tribue band.
We thought the food was pretty good and enjoyed most of the offerings. We did go to Chops and had a wonderful meal. Less

Suellen Resurfacing
HI, I had no idea that the ranch would take up so much of my time this summer. The kitchen remodel didn't help. It's done and it is beautiful!! Sam dogs health problem was very unexpected and the decision to have the surgery done that made him blind came on suddenly. He is doing fantastic. My husband and I took turns taking him to some dog training classes. He has been to dog training before but not blind. It was more of a social with other dogs. He had a blast. I wish I could adapt and except things as quickly as he did. I fell very behind in my birthday blocks. I know not to sign up for the birthday exchange for 2009 the ranch is just too hectic and unpredictable during the summer. Next year we are breeding 5 of our goats. We could end up with anywhere between 5 and 11 baby goats! Then at some point we would have 5 goats to milk. We do have a milking machine! Thats a blessing. So things are moving on and slowing down for the winter I will have more time to quilt and post.
Sharon that would mean I would have to be organized LOL!!
Linda you are making me look bad, and I am retired LOL!!
Welcome back Suellen, my 2 DGD's would love to live with you.
I am sewing on the binding of a lap quilt tonight, the temo is supposed to drop to the hi 30's so I fell like quilting.

Talmud [illustrative]_370.
(photo credit:Thinkstock/Imagebank)
University libraries in Israel and across the Jewish world have recently been
abuzz over word that a group of Arab and Muslim scholars have published the
first ever translation into Arabic of the entire Babylonian Talmud – a
1,500-year-old collection of ancient rabbinic discussions of Jewish law,
theology and folklore. The huge project was organized by the Middle East Studies
Center in Amman, Jordan, and involved almost 100 scholars working for six
years.News reports state that many libraries in the Arab world are
obtaining copies.What are we to make of this effort? Unfortunately, the
center's director, Jawad Ahmad, refuses to talk to the Israeli press, so all we
have to go on is the printed introduction and the posts on the center's
website.That is where the trouble begins. The project features a very
lengthy introduction to the Talmud by Dr. Amir al Hafi, a professor of religious
studies at the University of Al al-Bayt, Jordan. Dr. Al Hafi's introduction
draws heavily on the writings of three notorious anti-Semites: Rev. I.B.
Pranaitis, Israel Shahak and Hasan Zaza; and repeats many classic anti-Semitic
allegations made in connection with the Talmud and other Jewish texts.IF
HIS essay is characteristic of the mindset of the Arabic Talmud's translators or
intended users, as I believe it is, this new translation can only harm Jews and
set back any efforts to promote interfaith understanding.Although Dr. Al
Hafi cites a handful of humanistic passages in the Talmud, the vast majority of
his introduction describes the Talmud as a racist document that encapsulates a
Jewish spirit of ethnic supremacism. He claims that Jews desire "superiority and
domination of all peoples"; that modern Jews have a Talmudic mindset of racism
and contempt toward non-Jews; and that the Talmud encourages Jews to lie to and
steal from others.He explicitly links these Talmudic attitudes to the
State of Israel.In his view, the Talmud has created Jewish hatred toward
Palestinians, and has led Jews to violate Palestinians' rights and dispossess
them of their property. Dr. Al Hafi alleges that when Jews in the Diaspora give
support to Israel, they do so as a result of these same Talmudic influences. He
also alleges that the Talmud issues a "clear prohibition on withdrawing from the
West Bank," and prohibits Jews from adhering to peace agreements.He
concludes his essay with the hope that this newly translated Talmud will allow
students in Arab and Muslim universities to begin their studies and understand
the "Jewish spirit" and Jewish national identity.How important is Dr. Al
Hafi's essay? Even if it does not achieve broad distribution or a significant
number of readers, it tells you about the cultural environment in which this new
field of academic Talmud studies in the Muslim world will take place: one in
which a Professor of Religious Studies in Jordan accepts the claims of avowed
anti-Semites about Jewish civilization, and feels no shame in citing them in his
writing; in which Jews are believed to be racist, supremacist, deceitful and
hateful people; and in which the actions of the Israeli government are thought
to be motivated by an ideological or religious hatred of Arabs rather than
geopolitical and security concerns.I am concerned that as more people
study the Talmud in that cultural environment, more of them will be convinced
that their own misconceptions about Jews are actually confirmed by Jewish
religious texts. Emboldened by their own "mastery" of Jews' actual religious
documents, they will confidently assert that Jews' efforts at reconciliation or
peacemaking cannot be trusted as a result of their "Talmudic" mindset.I
am concerned that as more Arabs and Muslims come to believe that Judaism as a
religion teaches hatred of non-Jews and is the ideological foundation for
Israel's conflict with the Palestinians, more Jewish schools, synagogues and
individuals will be targeted for harassment and violence.It is not as if
Arab scholars suddenly discovered the Talmud a few years ago and set out to
explore this strange, new text. Arab polemicists have cited the Talmud in their
attacks on Jews for a thousand years. Partly on the basis of passages in the
Talmud, the 11th-century theologian Ibn Hazm described Jews as "the most
imbecilic, impious, lying people in the world." A steady stream of anti-Jewish
propaganda based on Jewish texts has circulated through the Arab world ever
since.Trying to understand contemporary Jews by studying an ancient
religious text that is prone to misinterpretation and which has been the locus
of much anti-Semitism in the past (a fact that Dr. Al Hafi clearly knows), is
either extremely naive or chillingly disingenuous.Studying the Talmud to
understand the mindset of modern Jews, let alone irreligious modern Jews, let
alone the government of Israel, is like trying to understand the mindset of
modern Catholics by studying Augustine.If Muslim scholars are interested
in learning about and understanding modern Jews, let them start by talking to
us. We may be able to attain rapprochement if we can carry on a direct dialogue
and sustain an environment of mutual respect and humility. Only then will we be
able to guide each other through our evolving literary traditions.The
writer is a PhD student in Jewish history at Yeshiva University. He was director
of the Library and Research Center at the Anti-Defamation League from 2006-2011.

Man I've been playing since 2:30 EST. So I've been behind this screen non stop for about 9 hours playing Dominion. Was it worth it? Hell yes! I had so much fun playing I just couldn't stop. If it wasn't for the outrageously long queue times I would continue playing.
My experience has been up and down. On Riot's end I'm happy. They delivered what they promised; a fun fast past experience that truly takes the farm out of the genre. My longest game was 25 minutes and the only reason it was that long was because people cared about K/D and not actually about winning.
That was my down. No one would listen when I say "Hey guys three go top 1 at mid and bot it only takes one to cap it takes three for top because it's the furthest from both spawn point" Anyone listened? Nope. Ok fine to be understandable we are just starting out. "Hey guys LEAVE him the time it takes him to call and get back out we could have taken two points as appose to killing him being weak and getting one point only to die 10 seconds later by the person you just killed at full HP and new items." It's just so bad when my team loses because people don't listen.
TL;DR Dominion is great fun! Thank you Riot (all the people that worked on it at any rate) for creating such a fun and action packed game. I can't wait for the meta to evole outside of K/D and CS.
100% agree. I've done a ton of dominion today and I'm loving it. I'm done with SR forever, that mode is so boring. This is way more fun and it's fast paced quick games which is much better for my time schedule. Great job Riot!
Yeah I've been playing Dominion since around 11am, and it's 8pm now and I just finished my last game. It's awesome. I've had a great time. I think that Rammus and Heimerdinger need some kind of nerf in Dominion due to their ability to control the map. But other than that I've had an awesome time.
I fell ya. i've been playing since it opened up on the EU servers this morning. I've been doing some great stuff with Ashe and Leona. Won most of my games today too.
Hell, I earned 1000 ip today. That would take like two days playing SR.
Capt Yossarian
Zeals movespeed needs to be unique in dominion
Once Dominions out, i'm probably done with SR
Summoner's Rift is boring unless you're new at the game and don't farm...
Dominion is epic happy fun time with everyone!
Same goes for me. I was psyched when I got back from class and found out i could play. It's really fun but I think it some balance tweaks and for people to learn teamwork strategies before it becomes competitive.

This is a lovely book about accepting yourself for who you are. The main character of this book explains that it is not his fault he is terrible, that people judge him on how he looks and what he eats. Nice to include in a unit on acceptance.

Man, lots of you guys have these clean, open space garages/basements with nothing like 15 year-accumulation of junk..
This is so wrong.
This is not living life to the fullest.
Beside, what do you do when you need that odd washer size...?
Upside of junk: today, in my pile(s) I found a thin metal rod to hold the hop meshbag hanger contraption, and an old wok lid that fits on my new, lid-less, alum. pot... Downside: frequent swmbo reminders "When are you...blabla"
You are looking at the hole in the doughnut and not the doughnut itself.
You primates are so predictable.
My garage is messy, but not overly cluttered. Most of the things that normal people keep in their garage (x-mas decorations, etc...) are in my storage unit.
Make Beer, Not War.
Very cluttered!It's a 2 door 2 car model jammed with years and years of stuff.It also houses the bar with a keezer and a giant True keg dispenser along with the brew sculpture and SWMBO's glass bead making set-up and also her glass etching set-up.An upright freezer,a fridge,2 woodstoves,bbq grill,old
dishwasher,fishing/hunting/boating gear.Building materials,firewood,i could go on and on.I don't imagine ever gettin a vehicle there.I truly love our garage...it was a big factor when i bought the house.
the wife is a very organized individual.
half the basement is mine, spiderwebs and all, which i leave up to keep her out...
and the garage that's attached to our house, is actually a room for us kids to play in. it's pretty cold now, but we got a huge blast furnace bolted to the ceiling, and a tv with cable, table and chairs. it's the brew house, as well as a hang out.
My cellar is very very cluttered. Cannot even see the workbench just now. and even worse it is difficult to get to the fridge. Luckily the TV is beside the door so I can still see that. In the middle of clearing it out and it looks like a bomb has hit it.
My garage is very full since my last house had a 24'x30' shop and this house doesn't have a shop at all. It gets messy/cluttered and then we clean and organize and wait for it to clutter up again.
I don't have a garage but the basement is filling with beer.
my garage and basement are spotless. they're also non-existent.
