There is a nationwide group called "Freecycle" which started to keep good stuff out of landfills. People can offer most anything they want to give away or they can ask for items they need. Everything is free and it is a great way to recycle items to others. There are groups local to Phoenixville, Collegeville, Pottstown and others nearby. Go to www.freecycle.org to check it out and join.

Thank you for gathering and publishing this info. At this time of year, there is such an emphasis on new stuff...when so much of our old stuff is perfectly useful. Keeping it out of landfills and helping out people in need is a great gift indeed.

The all-powerful Beyoncé turns 31 today! Unsurprisingly, Queen B received a number of well-wishes from big names like Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. (I wonder what gifts they got her? It must be incredibly hard to shop for a woman who is essentially made of money.) Click here to see some of her 31st birthday notes from loved ones, and to check out a gallery of Bey's look through the years!
Adorable! I hope Bey's 31st year (and all those to come) is as wildly successful as ever. Head on over to the source to see even more notes! [via ONTD!]

I used Carnation Pink with "atalntis aqua" on top on the heart of the pink cup and LOVE that it looks sort of periwinkle- I will probably do that combo on purpose in the future.
I have 2 yarn bowls (because I crochet) the "heart strings" bowl and the "spring eyelet" bowl.
Lastly My 3 yr old's handprint in my pie plate- it's "textured blue" over the spring green.
I know they are not perfect because I am new- but I am quite satisfied with most of it.

Fastpitch Softball BatsCombat Avaritia Fastpitch Softball Bat AVARFP2 COMbat's new Avaritia presents fastpitch players a state of the art multi-piece bat design. This design is centered around their Handle Isolation Technology (HIT) that uses polymeric visco-elastic dampeners to isolate the ultra-light handle from the high performance multi-wall barrel. The visco-elastic material stiffens under load so the barrel responds quickly to your swing, but then softens to absorb vibration feedback. High frequency vibrations are effectively eliminated before they reach your hands, giving a soft, dampened, feel without compromising top notch performance. The Avaritia features a 100% composite design with Blended Fiber Technology that combines Aramid fibers with carbon and glass to create a material unlike anything else in the industry. The durability of the Avaritia is greatly enhanced through COMbat's Nanocomp Technology that uses carbon nanotubes to effectively fill in gaps between fibers. Also present in the Avaritia is Variable Stiffness Technology that lowers the barrel stiffness on each side to create a MONSTER sweet spot! With all of its technology, one thing is for certain, the Avaritia was made to step up your game! COMbat: For Players, By Players! The Avaritia is approved for play in USSSA, NSA, ISA, ISF, and ASA. It is backed with a Full 12 Month Warranty. Check out the specifics on Combat Bat Technologies. Combat Avaritia Fastpitch Softball Bat Features:

One of the really great things about the ever-increasing interest in food is the growing number of "serious" books about food history or policy that are being published every year. One of the really bad things about it is that so few of them really stand up to close scrutiny.
For some authors, it seems, because the books are "just about food," that means approaching the subject with a casual attitude that would never fly in other fields.
That's why Bee Wilson's new "Consider the Fork" is such a pleasure. Wilson is a British food writer who writes beautifully and has the academic chops to deliver what she promises (she has a Ph.D. from Trinity College).
Best of all, she takes her subject seriously. In this case, that is the nuts and bolts of kitchen equipment: how it's developed over time and how that development has, in turn, affected the way we cook and live.
This could be dry and academic, but Wilson brings it to life by digging out the perfect telling anecdote and with the occasional authorial interlude that serves to ground the historical in the contemporary.
Reading the book is like having a long dinner table discussion with a fascinating friend. At one moment she's reflecting on the development of cast-iron cookware, then she's relating the history of the Le Creuset company and the public's changing tastes in color.
One of the most fascinating chapters is on the nature of fire in the kitchen and how developing technologies have allowed us to tame it. She starts with a guy who does all of his cooking over an open fire, moves on to the dirty, smelly, dangerous days of coal ovens, how long it took for gas to become accepted and the revolutionary effect it had, and on to the microwave.
The pace is leisurely but lively. The dead spots are rare. It's hard to imagine even the nongeek being tempted to skim sections. Just because Wilson takes her subject seriously doesn't mean "Consider the Fork" isn't a pure joy to read.
— Russ Parsons,Tribune Newspapers

Even the prose of academic biographies sometimes cannot mask the visceral enthusiasm that Audubon's work elicits: "Yet the splendour of his paintings, as produced by Lizars and the Havells, remains stunning: the big birds in particular - the Wild Turkey, the Whooping Crane, the Golden Eagle - take one's breath away.

As a little girl, my brother and I loved playing with Transformers. I remember them being fun to play with, able to take a beating, and an overall good toy to play with, lots of happy memories. I was thrilled when Transformers made a come back and looking forward to getting some for my 5 year old son. My disappointment in these toys could not be greater, especially since I have always like the quality of Hasbro toys. My son loves the Transformers and was so very excited to have some to play with. However,they fall apart when you attempt to transform them, IF you can transform them as they seem to require an advanced degree in engineering to do so, impossible for a young child, and increadably frusterating for both him and I. The quality, durability, and value are horrible. The ones made for the smaller children, such as the "pop open" ones or "Activators", are even worse and they do not stay together at all and almost fall apart in your hand. I had originally though that maybe my memories of the toy were wrong, but after my brother found the old style toy in the attic and I realized that they were in fact, made much better. It is very upsetting to see your child excited about a toy you have spend money on, to basically not be able to play with it due to falling apart. I know there is no way to back to the old way of making them, however, it would be nice if there was someway for the toy to be made to make it more enjoyable for young children to play with.
I agree! The older ones were much sturdier and didn't fallapart..however the ones my son has fall apart and there are tinypieces everywhere and I am sure we have lost a few, I stopped buyingthem for him because all they do are fall apart. They are basicallyjunk to me.
I wish they still made a lot of things they did when I wasyounger...but they do not. And since most toys such as Transformers are made in foreign countriesthe quality is not what it used to be either. Its a shame...truly, but its a sign of the times. Maybe someone willbe selling the ones from the 70's-80's at garage sales or fleamarkets. You can talk the prices down on these epecially if they arenot in the original packages.
Sure there's a way to go back to the old way of making theTransformers, as well as hundres and thousands of other toys - stopmaking them in China. It's not only the Hasbro company. Let's talk about all the toycompanies including Fisher Price and Mattel just to name a few. When I shop for toys, or any other items for my family, especially formy 7 year old grandaughter, I look for the signage "Made In China". If it's made in China I DO NOT BUY IT. It's JUNK, and it's about timethe American companies, stop looking to appease shareholders andmaking such huge profits -- make safety issues a top priority. Idon't want lead or melamine in any of the products coming into myhome. I take my time looking at product labels. I don't buy anything madein China, no matter whether its toys, clothing, and nowadays it's evenliquid hand soap and candy. Can't we in America make these productsanymore? I've even made my 7 year old grandaugher aware of inferior, and leadcontaining products from China as well as the Chinese children workingin sweat shops. She even tells me that she can't have an item justbecause it's made in China. What's the matter with everyone in the U.S.A. these days? Just becauseit's cheap to purchase Chinese items don't make them safe for ourkids. Nowadays, it's even getting harder to some food productswithout seeing a Made In China label on it. Doesen't anyone realize that once you buy this cheap stuff, if it'ssomething you're going to use for any length of time, you have toreplace it more often than if you purchased a higer dollar, and abetter quality item. Just look at the quality of the clothing soldthese days --- you can put your fingers right through the fabric onsome of the products, and that even includes Levis jeans. It's time not only for the tea parties for the tax issues, but let'sall get involved in trying to get the American companies making theirproducts in the Good Old U.S.A. and bring some jobs back to theStates.
Great letter. They sure don't make 'em like they used to. I've foundthis with not only Transformers, but a lot of other toys I enjoyed asa child. As far as the Transformers go, we have a lot that are missing piecesbecause they come apart so easily. I hope Hasbro responds. They should, as I believe they are verycustomer oriented.
Your letter reminded me that I've neglected to write my own littlemissive to Fisher Price about the quality of a few toys my son hasreceived. For one in particular, a Sesame Street garage, the qualityis terrible. The tracks, which are supposed to snap on the back, donot stay on with even the slightest pressure. Whenever I put a car onthe track - which is what you're supposed to do! - the whole thingfalls apart. So, I completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, qualityissues seem to be true for a lot of things these days. Let us know if Hasbro responds.
Which Transformers are you purchasing, and are you reading the agelimits AND challenge levels on the packaging? Also, the toys are actually designed to come apart so as to minimizereal breakage. That way mom or dad can just pop an arm or leg rightback on rather than break out the super glue. The old molds still exist for most (but not all) of the originals, butthey are reserved for collectors editions and even those can be quitefragile.
I knew you were going to mention the movie "Big"! That's one of myfavorite movies of all time. Wouldn't you love to be paid to playwith toys?!! I always wondered if toy companies actually do that. I have a sneaking suspicion Hasbro knows these transformers areinferior. What a shame because transformers are great toys that havewithstood the test of time.
They are actually superior to the originals in a number of ways. Thelevel of detail and articulation on the "Classics" is much greaterthan the original "Generation 1" toys. Fully transformed, most of the"Classics" have as much range of movement as a G.I.Joe figure. With regards to the "Big" comment. I'm a former FAO Schwarz andBuild-A-Bear Workshop employee and I can tell you that yes, toys doundergo testing with children before they are released to the generalpublic. The manufacturer does on-site testing at their own facilities,followed by test marketing in select retail outlets to determine ifthe product is viable. Build-A-Bear, Rokenbok, Hasbro, Mattel, andNintendo are just a handful of they toy makers that do this. If theproduct makes it past those two stages it goes into mass distribution.
Great feedback! I've generally been unimpressed with many of the"remade" toys lately. I've actually thought of picking up some of theold action figures at flea markets and local "antique" shops. Itseems like the newer stuff gets more and more expensive while thequality of the product keeps deteriorating.
This is feedback the company needs to hear. It is a shame thatcompanies cheapen things so much that they are no longer useful. Youwould think that they would test them for a period of time to simulatereal world use. I hope Hasbro gets back to you quickly. Good luck.
Excellent letter!
Excellent letter. Hasbro has great customer service. I'm sure you'll hear from them. If they get enough feedback, I wouldn't be surprisedif they actually make changes to improve this product. My kids had a lot of toys, but transformers were always my favorite. They have to work right to be any fun otherwise it would be veryfrustrating. Depending on your son's age, you could even involve him incommunicating with Hasbro. It's great when a kid sees that you cansometimes get results!

Health Information
Pregnancy: Hair Changes
Topic Overview
During pregnancy, hormonal changes can affect how your hair looks and feels.
- Hair loss slows down considerably, and hair growth can increase. You may notice that your head of hair is thicker and healthier-looking than usual. But some women find that their hair is more limp and lifeless during pregnancy.
- It is normal during pregnancy to grow hair on other parts of your body, such as your abdomen, face, or back.
After pregnancy, your hair's growth cycle returns to normal. Hair that would normally have been shed during the last few months is now ready to die and be replaced. So don't be surprised if you lose more hair than normal during the first year after childbirth.

King County car thefts fall sharply
By REPORTER STAFF
Mercer Island Reporter Staff
November 5, 2012 · 10:37 AM
Car thefts in King County have declined by more than half since the inception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office implemented what they named the 'Car Theft Initiative' (CTI) in 2005.
Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto theft.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County metropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars. The number of auto thefts nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.
The Crime Bureau reports that auto thefts nationally are now at the lowest point in the last 45 years.
The Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority is echoing similar positive trends statewide when it comes to auto theft. It reports that statewide, auto thefts have declined 43 percent from 2005 to 2011.
In the last five years, the average sentence for an auto thief has more than doubled from 27 months to 66 months in prison.
In 2007, the Elizabeth Nowak-Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority Act was enacted by the Washington state Legislature. That program provides grant money for assisting law enforcement in investigating and preventing auto thefts in the state. It is funded by a surcharge on traffic infractions.
When the prosecuting attorney and law enforcement launched the new car theft initiative, there were approximately 17,700 reported car thefts in King County. In 2011, that number fell to 8,623. That means that there were 9,000 fewer stolen cars in 2011 than there had been in 2005.
Using the National Insurance Institute's average claim for loss of $8,600 per stolen vehicle, this decrease reflects a savings of over $80 million to King County insurers over the course of 2011.
The savings to citizens, insurance companies and the overall improvement to public safety have been enormous.

Crusaders keep Carter
15 Jun 2009
All Blacks pivot Dan Carter has committed to the Crusaders until the end of 2011.
The Christchurch union have denied rumours of Carter heading up to the Blues, and are happy to secure his service for at least two more seasons.
'While there has been intense media speculation about Dan's future provincial union, our discussions have been positive and constructive throughout and have lead to this agreement today,' Crusaders chief executive Hamish Riach said.
'Dan is obviously a world class player and it will be fantastic to have him back. It is quite simply tremendously good news for all who care about Canterbury and Crusaders rugby.'
Carter is currently out with an Achilles injury and will only be back in action for the All Blacks in August.

15 Jun 2009, 17:21 pm400,000 nz dollars a season apparently.
15 Jun 2009, 17:45 pm#1 Nils: Great, with Carter back, four teams will dominate next year in the S14, all depending which players are lost and gained by each franchise:
1. The Champions
2. Chiefs
3. Crusaders
4. Brumbies (with Giteau) -
15 Jun 2009, 19:25 pmLets be sure about ONE thing. A homegrown Canty player of Carters qulaity was never EVER going to leave the Red'n'Blacks. Besides, why would he leave for the ragtag dishevelled lot in Auckland ?
Whatever salary was offered, the Canty Mafia just wouldnt allow it. And why should they ? Besides, DC hardly needs the ca$h. He's probably the most marketable player on the Planet.
16 Jun 2009, 10:00 am#3 BDB: Agree plus probably Sharks, Waratahs and Hurricanes in the mix.
It will be interesting to see what Brumbies can offer next year with Gits back, I'd be rather disappointed if they do not do better than this year.
16 Jun 2009, 10:01 am#4 BlackPanther: I just cannot imagine him playing for anybody else in NZ bar Canterbury/Crusaders – mafia or not.
Maybe another French team in the far future. Would gladly see him lasting full season there.

don't care, pay now
Before I forget again, many profound thanks and obsequious bows of gratitude to E.A.B. for a very generous donation. Now I can pay for my inverter that cost far more than I thought ( I had fried the socket plug and the inverter, along with the batteries-although in my defense the batteries were five years old and thus my kinda sorta forgetting to water them didn't hasten their demise too badly ). A previous snail mail donation went towards paying for the twenty feet of heavy duty wire I took directly from the batteries ( I had two new ones I've been separately charging that took the place of the old dry ones ) to the inverter. When you send a donation I usually let it sit around until I need it for something critical, bike parts or off-grid equipment. No going out to dinner or the casino. If you would like to donate on a regular basis, a buck a month would be wonderful. I only need every single reader to sign up for that and then I don't have to work in town anymore. Send an e-mail, email@example.com , and in the body place your address and "monthly donation reminder". I put you on the PayPal mailing list and they send out a reminder that it is time to donate. This doesn't obligate you, it just reminds you. In three years my child support will be over and then only half of you need to donate. Hell, we won't even be around then, but long been eliminated from our neighbors digestive system. You might as well help a brother out until then.
I don't know if you've slept through the last decade, but economic times have grown a bit more difficult. As our economic pie has shrunk, more and more institutions are desperately fighting for survival. 90% of the time it means they screw you over to make it. The government is an obvious target, but all entrenched organizations do it. Corporations and non profits even take a page from the Roman Catholic playbook on how to fleece the sheep. This follows up on my comment yesterday that no one cares how little money they leave you to survive on. I don't care if you are on welfare, Social Security, work for a local government, work minimum wage or collect cans from the underpass. You will see your property tax quadrupled, sales tax doubled, income withholding tripled, Internet connections put on a toll, and all services drastically reduced before the city or state you are in will take a death cut in revenue. The Federal government will cause 1,000% inflation before they cut one department. Corporations will lay off the last worker and ship the last department to India before they cut one cent from their CEO bonuses. It isn't just naked greed, although that is rampant. It is regular positions of power and profit for the first time being threatened. Before, they survived on our surplus, but as that was eliminated they must start eating the seed corn.
Before, a lot of wealth redistribution was all about vote buying and more importantly part of the process of divide and conquer. It didn't cost politicians anything to double workers withholding and pay an additional 25% to retirees. They skim off the extra, workers hate retirees, retirees fear a worker revolt and thus feel vulnerable and thus hate the workers. Multiply that across the board for every tax and spend program. All of the drones hate or fear or are envious of each other and blame is deflected from the people in power living off the extra. I rag on Social Security recipients and welfare bitches, but I also understand the power and wealth behind it. Of course, I also like to hate just about anyone anyway. Give women the vote and make divorce a paying proposition and force employers to hire females even for jobs they are incapable of performing physically, and the genders hate each other. Make laws that allow executives to earn thousands of times a workers salary and the workers hate the business owners. Give blacks jobs they aren't qualified for and whites hate them. Etcetera.
Let me give my new favorite example of corporations screwing you. I used to love Wal-Mart. I sang their praises at every opportunity. I gave them plenty of endorsements to my limited circle of readers. I refused to buy property that wasn't within thirty miles of one of their Super Stores ( and I've bought six lots ). They were my only stop shopping for almost fifteen years ( other than books, which has always been Amazon, and who hasn't turned evil ). No, they are out to get me personally. I am convinced that my name actually comes up in board meetings. They are eliminating a lot of excess inventory, so that I am forced to stockpile items I normally wouldn't. They are eliminating most generic brands. Sure, they have the cheapest name brand, but I don't buy that crap. The name brands they do carry and I do buy are crap. Like the Bell brand in the bicycle department. Total worthless crap. Every item from them has disappointed me, from the guaranteed non flat inner tube that went flat to the $20 seat that had its cheek pads peel off in a few weeks. They no longer carry the cheap name brands, but the more expensive ones. Such as the Spam debacle. Virginia ham type for $1.18 was eliminated. Now you can have the $1.59 generic or the $2+ Spam. No thanks. The latest insult is the Cup Of Noodles. Nissan was a quarter. Manchurin was thirty eight cents. Now, no more Nissan. The price didn't go up, you just don't have the option to buy the cheaper brand. I could go on and on, but the short story is I have to go shopping in many different places now. Bastard Whores.
My property taxes just went up fifty percent. No big deal, it is now $10 instead of six. Although that does translate into nearly an once of silver rather than a half once. I'm sure you folks with houses are really getting screwed a lot worse than that. You are up side down on your house, yet your assessed value doubled. And the only excuse is that your county needs the money. Need, the last refuge of the welfare masses, the Post Office and other communists. They aren't obligating themselves to better service, just taking what they need. All levels of government will be acting the same. All corporations will be cutting choices and offering worse products. And this is just the beginning of the crash. What fun we have ahead of us.

The yuppies have "downgraded" to WalMart shopping, so WalMart is now catering to them. Their regular clientel has had to revert to the Dollar Store, and the Dollar Store crowd I guess is digging through dumpsters now. Which means the dumpster divers are sh!t out of luck? Oh, but the "recession is over". Right, which means we're now in depression. Hold on to yer hat....

In defense of Wal-mart, they still sell ammo at pre-Obama prices, when they have it. Picked up six boxes of Federal .40 S&W 180 gr. FMJ yesterday at $12.97 each, plus tax. Would have bought more, but they limit each customer to six boxes. Sure wish they'd get some .38.
Not sure about your state, but many states don't kick you off your property for non-payment of taxes. They just insist on collecting the back taxes when the property is transferred, i.e., sold or bequeathed. So, if it's a choice between eating and paying the property taxes, eating would seem to be the better choice. Of course, that could change in a blink of an eye. - 2:56 PM

I'm sorry....you kinda...sorta forgot to water the batteries...so they died.....and you set yourself up a a survivalist "somebody to read"? I live in an rv.....we kinda, sorta maintain our batteries....you kinda, sortya ain't gonna make it....the devil is in the details.
- TexasMac said...
And furthermore....while I'm at it......what's with the cheapest food? Have you read nothing about Monstanto and ConAgra? I don't want to start a new problem here to worry about, but they are not interested in your health or longevity.....don't store or eat crap.... buy and store the best there is.....and not the cheapest.....eating cheap and crappy food is not food and your body knows it....not radical here....I know it to be a fact....old people used to be vital and active, just old....now everybody's breaking down....what you eat is not food........
- Mayberry said...
Well Mac, since you've done so much better, then why don't you post anything on your blog.... Jim's been at this a long while, and he knows what he's doing. Maybe you should read through the archives before you shoot your mouth off. You're giving Texans a bad name....

I am rebuilding an old trailer for my get away. I will do the wiring before the money runs our. 2 is 1 and 1 is none. 2 inverters for me when there is money. Thanks again for your blog. I own you. - 6:17 PM
- Yukon Mike said...
I've noticed the same thing going on at our Super WalMart here. Over the last year prices have noticably increased, the familiar cheap canned food brands I used to buy are gone and only more expensive items replaced them. Ammo? Well that is a joke here, maybe a couple dozen boxes on the shelf he last 6 months. I think WalMart is changing it's marketing and now thinks since it has no competition it's going after profit and not quality. I have been test shopping at Dollar General Stores and so far their canned meats are averaging 60% less than Wally and the food quality is very good. So Dollar General looks to be the next option for saving some money.

It's scary, Jim, to understand just how tight your logic really is. Institutions are uncaring about the very people they were created to serve and seem to inevitably come to be self-serving, especially when their very existence is threatened. It's good to read your blog just to get some clarity about what's happening.
As for burning up your equipment and inverter and not giving your batteries water, I am more sympathetic than horrified. Things like that (and worst) have happened to most of us. I am glad you write about your failures and all your other adventures (like "ghetto" insulation). It reminds me about just how hard scrabble this is all going to get. I hope to continue to learn from your advice, your mistakes, and your successes. - 2:33 AM

I prefer someone making the mistakes that I might face in the future, writing about them and maybe learning from them.

"90 percent of the money Americans spend on food is spent on processed foods."
"Between 2001 and 2006, healthcare costs for the obese rose from just below $167 billion to more than $303 billion – an 82 percent increase."
argh! give the fatties a prepaid card to Pumpkin Donuts and McDung's... that ought to kill them all off and leave more for the beautiful people....
needless to say, 'cheap food' is unprocessed food. frankly, i don't think 'convience foods' cook up any faster than real food, but there is a bit of boring prep work involved. - 12:31 PM

Cheap food is NOT unprocessed food, rather the reverse is true.
A bag of carrots containing a single, unprocessed ingredient (carrots) costs more than a box full of twinkies containing 27 ingredients and lots of lots of industrial processing and sophisticated chemicals. The twinkies also contain significantly more caloric energy and have a substantially longer shelf life.
Michael Pollan (The Omnivores Delimma, In Defense of Food, etc.) and others have covered this sadly salient fact in great detail, and takes McFood to task over the matter. Governmental subsidies for 5 key agricultural products are the primary reason you see these same agricultural products in virtually everything (eg corn syrup in hamburger buns), and so much of what we eat is centered around them.
Pollan says that shoppers are arguably buying the most calories they can get per $, which leads to making unhealthy food choices. In short, to eat "healthy" requires substantially more $$, and when people can't afford healthy they turn to junk food (the center of the grocery store), and he does a good job of proving it. I.e. McDonalds burgers and fries costs significantly less than making a salad at home. Yet the crap we're being fed is giving us cancer and type 2 diabetes. The wealthy stay healthy with the use of personal chefs, organic foods, and personal trainers/nutritionists, while the poorest states (i.e. Mississippi) have the highest levels of obesity and health problems. See a correlation? - 6:51 AM

More on my previous comment, as apparently scientists agree....
"It's a question of money," Drewnowski said. "The reason healthier diets are beyond the reach of many people is that such diets cost more. On a per calorie basis, diets composed of whole grains, fish, and fresh vegetables and fruit are far more expensive than refined grains, added sugars and added fats. It's not a question of being sensible or silly when it comes to food choices, it's about being limited to those foods that you can afford."

Slightly Exothermic Fast Reacting "Black Dross" Cover and Drossing Flux for Aluminium Alloys
An excellent fast reacting flux for the majority of alloys, both wrought and cast.
Characterized as a "black dross," it is unique in aiding an operator to determine if the flux has sufficiently released the good metallic back into the bath where it should remain, as opposed to becoming caught up in a gray dross which makes it more difficult for the operator to discern between free-metallics and oxides. To take advantage of its exothermic properties, this flux must be thoroughly mixed into the dross to allow reaction with "wet" dross for release the free metallics, separating metal from the dross to precipitate removal resulting in a dry black dross.

Quality castings begin with proper fluxing practices. Contact your Pyrotek Sales Engineer to determine the appropriate flux for your operation. 866-Pyrotek (866-797-6835)

text: Hazel Journeaux McCallion is probably the most unique politician Canada has ever produced. Of French Huguenot roots, she was born and raised in an obscure small town on the south shore of the Gaspe. She was not the beneficiary of family fortune or connections. Still a teenager, she left home and hearth to further her education in Quebec City and Montreal — a courageous act for the times. Hired by an engineering firm, Canadian Kellogg, she was transferred to Toronto in 1942 at the age of 21. At 30, she married Sam McCallion and bore and raised three children. She entered local politics and in 1970 was elected mayor of Streetsville. In 1973, Streetsville became Ward 9 in the newly-created City of Mississauga, and Hazel was the councillor. As members of the new reform Council, we were under a 24-hour barrage from the "attack pack." But Hazel was the prime target. A Conservative, she had vehemently opposed the creation of Regional government and the disappearance of Streetsville as a Town. Her attacks on then-Premier Bill Davis drew the ire of the Conservative establishment, which had ruled Peel forever. She was also loathed by the opposition because of her gender. Women in the 1970s were meant to be seen, not heard. Hazel and I enjoyed a close, friendly relationship. She was politically astute and her advice was freely given and welcomed. I often drove her to Brampton to Region of Peel meetings. Hazel and family lived in an unpretentious home just up the hill from the Credit River. There were five acres of land and a barn. A few horses were kept there, and several times my wife and I took our three small children for horse rides. Hazel was a dynamo of unfathomable energy. She would attend at least one event almost every night for the three-year term. Every three to four months, she would come into my office and tell me she was exhausted and depressed. She would disappear for a few days, recharge herself and begin anew. She was building her political base. Thousands of residents came into personal contact with her. What was the secret to Hazel's success? I witnessed the "phenomenon" one night in Streetsville. She had invited me to a ratepayers meeting called to discuss a development project. Several dozen angry persons had filed in. After being introduced, I took a seat at the side of the room. Hazel began to address the crowd. She had a unique voice – resonant, staccato-like and delivered in plain English, with no fancy phraseology. Coupled with her diminutive physical size, the effect was riveting. Within 10 minutes, the whole room was mesmerized. By the time the meeting was over, the assembled would have followed her over Niagara Falls. A combination of courage, perseverance, street smarts, faith and a unique public presence propelled Hazel from a small town into the mayor's chair of a major Canadian city. Dr. Martin Dobkin, 68, the first mayor of Mississauga, now works as a family physician in the City Centre.

AAA urged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to halt sales of gasoline with higher ethanol concentrations Friday, contending the fuel blend causes engine damage not covered under most auto warranties.
EPA says that cars made in the model year 2001 and later can handle E15, the fuel blend made up of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent petroleum.
But automakers say EPA is only considering the fuel's impact on emissions control systems while disregarding the impact on the rest of the vehicle.
"It is clear that millions of Americans are unfamiliar with E15, which means there is a strong possibility that many motorists may improperly fill up using this gasoline and damage their vehicle. Bringing E15 to the market without adequate safeguards does not responsibly meet the needs of consumers," AAA President and CEO Robert Darbelnet said in a Friday statement.

Ottawa Senators 2012-2013 Season Preview:
The 2011-12 season was a bit of a rebuilding year for the Ottawa Senators, after turning over a good amount of player personnel and hiring a new head coach, Paul MacLean. However, the Senators turned around and surprised many NHL observers by finishing with a 41-31-10 record and capturing the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Although the Senators pushed the New York Rangers to a pivotal seventh game in the opening series, the team fell in heartbreaking fashion and their surprise playoff push came to an end. The Senators benefitted from many contributions from younger players, and the team hopes that this valuable experience could help them jump back into title contention a lot sooner than expected. The Senators will benefit greatly from the return of veteran captain Daniel Alfredsson, whose steadying presence along with leading goal scorer Jason Spezza should help out the many young players the team has on offense. The first line will also see the inclusion of Milan Michalek, who posted an impressive 27 goals during the 2011-12 season. The addition of Guillaume Latendresse should help out the offense, but the Senators will most likely rely heavily on their pool of prospects, including Jakob Silfverberg and Zach Smith. Defensively, the Senators swung a trade for Marc Methot, who should help to solidify the team's defensive rotation along with Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Erik Karlsson. Other players like Chris Phillips and Jared Cowen will need to help improve the Senators' penalty kill and power play opportunities for the team to take a leap in the standings. Goaltender Craig Anderson was reliable throughout the 2011-12 season, and goalie Ben Bishop should also provide quality depth off the bench. Looking ahead to the 2012-13 season, the Senators will open up on Thursday, October 11 on the road against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre. The team's home opener will come shortly after on October 13, when the Senators face off against Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Senators. The Senators will match up against every team in the NHL this year, so there are plenty of opportunities for fans to catch one of their thrilling games against a bitter rival or a newcomer. The team's impressive mix of young talent and savvy veterans could make the Senators a dangerous playoff team this season, but the squad looks to be building a contender the right way and should be at the top of the standings in the foreseeable future.
OTTAWA SENATORS EXPERIENCE: Founded: 1992 Location: Ottawa, Ontario Stadium: Scotiabank Place Conference: Eastern Conference Division: Northeast Division Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup Titles: none Ottawa Senators Conference Championships: 1 (2007) Notable Players: Roger Neilson
The Ottawa Senators play hockey in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was founded in 1991 after an intense "Bring Back the Senators" campaign - the original Ottawa Senators left the city 1934 to move to St. Louis and eventually were disbanded. The team began with the draft bust of Alexandre Daigle, who as highly touted but eventually traded for under-performing for Ottawa. The Ottawa Senators would begin to improve in the late 1990's and has now become a Stanley Cup contender winning the President's Trophy in 2003 and the Prince of Wales Trophy in 2007.
The Ottawa Senators play in one of the largest arenas in the NHL, the 20,000 plus capacity Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario. The arena was designed for hockey, making it the perfect place to see a game. The furthest seat from the ice is only 138 away. Buy Ottawa Senators tickets and watch the new hockey stars of Ottawa pay homage to the city's rich hockey tradition by returning to the Stanley Cup Finals this year!

Recently, some homeowners have reported receiving a notice in the mail from a company offering to obtain copies of real estate deeds. This service is NOT endorsed by the King County Recorder's Office. Homeowners needing a copy of their deed can click here to learn how to obtain a copy directly from King County.
The Recorder's Office records and provides access to over 350 types of documents. We do not interpret documents or check the documents for accuracy (other than compliance with Washington State RCWs concerning formatting). We do answer basic questions about how to find documents and assist people in doing so.
Between 1854 and 1969, the King County Auditor maintained all documents submitted for public record. In 1969, the recording functions of the County Auditor were taken over by the newly formed Recorder's Office. Recorded documents include real estate transactions, marriage records and many others. Over the years, the method of recording these documents has evolved from a system of manual transcription in ledger books to digitally scanning and indexing the documents presented for recording.

BBZ149 wrote:Jet wrote:Surely the Central Locking function will cure this minor problem?
Yo Jet that could be a question you could answer! can you push the door open on the remote control when the door is locked? I have not tried pulling the door handle in the car with the door locked from the outside to test it and im not sure if your kit disables the ability to activate the solenoid when locked, or does the solenoid still move, but due to the door lock being locked does not operate the doors.
But you must admit the new remote looks much better than the old one, and you wouldn't believe the price of the remote and the receiver unit Ill have fun sorting it all out as soon as the weather gets a little better.
Jet wrote:Yep, thats why its called "locking"
All open/close functionality is disabled, inside/outside and remote buttons.
The new fob looks shinier, but a bit gimmicky, after a few months you either forget or cant be bothered checking whether the buttons are covered or not. How many channels is it?
BBZ149 wrote:It's a 4 channel remote, It's smaller and I think it's better than the old remote as the lock/unlock are easley identified rather than just having 4 buttons you need to remember what does what!
I wouldn't say it was gimmicky, I think it's just a remote that's smaller, constructed and laid out a lot better than what I was going to use. If anything I think it's more practical
Stoertie wrote:Hi all,
for a long time I also used a key chain remote transmitter, but now I love my new soloution, only one key fob and it's looks like a BMW Key. l
Jet wrote:On 2nd thoughts, aesthetically your right, the new one does look better quality and if its smaller, all the better, less bulk in your pockets.
But I do prefer the unlabelled button remote, being the only person who knows the combination.

Hi Stoertie,
I liked the key option but a couple of people have commented on the battery life not being so good!
BBZ149 wrote:I am currently working on getting the basic system installed with a standardised connector so I can change and play around with different type of modules in the future. The last time I programmed a PIC chip was back in the Playstation 1 days where the PIC 12c508 was used to play backup games, and I think the remote system uses something like the pic16f684 Micro controller which I've not yet played about with as yet.
I might give the key option a try in the future as the complete system with 2 keys is currently a very good price. Ill have to get that old PIC programmer out of the loft if I ever get a chance

Thanks for sharing your ideas
