Oleby airing your clothes
Materials: Oleby shoe rack, wood glue, saw, small clamps
Description: I decided that I wanted to create a simple set of shelves to air my clothes in the boiler cupboard. Suitably polished wood of the right size size is surprisingly expensive so I decided to take the IKEA Hacker route and bash a flatpack into my designs. Here's how:
1) Purchase 1 Oleby pack for each shelf you wish to create
2) Open 1 pack at a time
3) Cut through the support dowels 2 bars from one end, remove these bars and down portions - these will be used as the shelf supports
4) Place the two shelf portions wide edge together and glue the two removed bars at 90 degrees to secure the shelf together
5) Turn the legs upside down and trim the base to achieve the desired height
6) Slide the legs onto the shelf and place in the desired position
7) repeat steps 3 - 6 for each shelf, gluing the legs in position above the previous ones
Note that due to poor tolerances and large difference in the position of each bar it may be necessary to enlarge the gap in the legs to better position a straight upright

Nice idea for airing clothes. Hope you are not storing clothes there, however. Chance of fire with flamable items being stored in front of a gas water heater. Even the empty shelves could be a fire hazard and may even be a violation of your local building code. Be safe. Check it out.

IA, this is a huge fire hazard. I know two people who's houses caught on fire due to water heater issues & this just seems like it could be a serious problem.

Electric fires happen often. It's also going to be a pain to fix your water heater if it breaks..

Heel Pain Heel pain is usually caused by rolling over of the foot (Excess Pronation). As the foot pronates, the arch collapses and the muscles (plantar fascia) and supporting structure are forced to stretch and elongate. By supporting the arches and re-aligning the lower limb to its natural angle, orthotics reduces the traction and strain on the plantar fascia, taking away this common cause of heel pain. Ball of Foot Pain This condition commonly occurs with women, however many men suffer from pain in the ball of the foot. Sometimes a callous develops in the centre of the foot and footwear may wear out in a similar fashion. It causes a burning sensation in the ball of the foot and can become very painful. Orthotics align the central three metatarsal shafts using an inbuilt met raise to correctly position and maintain the Metatarsal bone position. By balancing the weight distribution over five metatarsal bones, this helps remove excess weight & friction which commonly causes the callous and burning sensation. Morton's Neuroma This condition is generally caused by entrapment of the interdigital nerve lying between the third and fourth metatarsal bones. Ball of Foot Pain (Morton's Neuroma) exhibits similar symptoms to Metatarsalgia, but may also cause numbness, tingling and discoloration of the third and fourth (lesser) toes. Orthotics greatly assist in the early stages of Morton's Neuroma when damage to the nerve sheath is minimal. Orthotics re-align the metatarsal shafts and prevents interdigital nerve jamming. Flat Feet/Fallen Arches A true flat foot is rare. Generally, a flat footed person is only suffering from a functional flat foot caused by excess pronation. Excess Pronation causes the foot's arch to collapse & elongate giving the appearance of a flat foot. A functional flat foot is quite common and generally exhibits symptoms ranging from sore/tired feet to general leg fatigue and body aches. Orthotics are designed to control excess pronation (the common cause of functional flat feet), thereby restoring the foot's arch to normal. Bunions Bunions are a bony lump that gradually develop on the big toe joint over many years. Bunions can sometimes be very painful and at other times exhibit no pain at all. The common cause of this condition is a combination of genetic factors and poor foot function. Orthotics control excess pronation, which is a common factor causing Bunions. Orthotics redistribute the weight evenly over the foot to prevent (or reduce) the gradual growth of a bunion. Orthotics are very successful in reducing symptoms with painful Bunion conditions. Achilles Pain Achilles Tendonitis commonly occurs from shearing and stretching (tractional) forces placed on the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel. Excess Pronation causes the heel bone to tilt excessively and places extra strain on the tendon. Inflammation of the tendon is a common result along with tightening of the calf muscles.
Orthotics align the heel bone and significantly reduces the shearing and stretching forces on the Achilles Tendon, thereby providing relief from Achilles Pain. Callous and Corns Callous and Corns develop from excess friction and rubbing on the foot. Corns normally develop on the upper joints of the toes, whilst callous generally develops under the sole of the foot (especially under the big toe/little toe joint and central ball of the foot). Corns and callous commonly develop when excess pronation disrupts the normal metatarsal bone relationship in the foot and this causes the toes to claw. Friction & rubbing from your footwear then causes corns and callous to develop on the tops of your toes and/or the bottom of your feet. Orthotics control excess pronation and prevents dropping of the metatarsal bones and furthermore clawing of the toes. Thereby removing this friction and rubbing which causes corns and callous.
Tired/aching legs are commonly caused by strain and traction on the calf muscles at the back of the legs. This occurs when the feet roll over and the legs rotate internally. In turn, this places stress on the leg muscles.
Orthotics control 'excess pronation' - decreasing internal rotation of the leg and traction on the calf muscles, thereby taking away this common cause of tired/aching legs.
Rolling over of the feet - excess pronation - causes the lower leg to rotate internally. As a result, the pelvis is forced to tilt forward, which can cause an increased curvature of the lower back. This is referred to as 'poor body posture'. Especially after standing up-right for longer periods the curvature in back will cause tightness and stiffness of the lower back muscles.
By controlling 'excess pronation' of the feet, orthotics help improve your body posture. Because the feet are now properly aligned, internal rotation of the legs and forward pelvic tilt are greatly reduced, thereby easing low back pain.
A common condition in athletes caused by abnormal friction & rubbing of the Ilio-tibial band muscle over the knee & hip joints. This condition commonly exhibits a gradual but rather severe pain on the outside knee joint and less commonly on the outside hip section. Sometimes, simply walking up or down stairs may aggravate this condition. The pain usually subsides immediately upon rest but re-occurs with activity.
Orthotics control the internal rotation of the shin bone (tibia) and furthermore the rotation on the knee & hip joint via the in-built 4 degree rearfoot varus wedge. Thereby, reducing stretching (tractional) and frictional forces on the Ilio-tibial band muscle. Stretching of the Ilio-tibial band muscle is advised.

Comfort on Cash!
By LuLu
from New Brunswick
These shoes give my feet the support I need at work. I am a cashier in a supermarket, so I need something that will ease the stress on my feet & legs. I finally found something that holds up to that task. They are not the nicest looking shoe, look a bit wide on my feet, and make my feet sweat at times, so I wonder about the quality of the upper material. But they do the job of being supportive & comfortable on my feet.

I have spent $500.00 on orthotics that don't help as much as orthaheel shoes and slippers. I have several pairs all different styles and I will keep on buying them. Can't wait to see the summer styles.

Orthaheel Orthotic Maddie Slip-On Loafer
By Ada
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I am enjoying this shoe which I had ordered in black in size 11, taking a chance on the size because I usually buy shoes in sizes 10 and up, depending on the manufacturer. However, size 11 although fitting properly after having worn the shoes for about two months, have stretched and do no longer fit making walking difficult unless I wear heavy socks. At the time of ordering (showstopper) size 10.5 was available and I should have chosen it. I am afraid to order size 10 however, and have to wait until I see size 10.5 again being available.
I would buy these again
By jennylynn41
from Wicklow N.B.
I love orthaheel. They are the best shoes that I bought that doesn't give me cramps in my feet and legs. I would wake up at night with cramps after wearing other shoes. I would definitely reccomend these shoes to other people. Thank you orthaheel Janet

Disappointed in the fit
By RUTH
from SCARBOROUGH
I love Orthoheel running shoes and I was very happy to be able to order a loafer. However, I ordered my regular size and found them too short. I have a wide foot the width was comfortable but my toes came right to the end of the shoe.I liked the look of the shoe and was sorry that I had to return them.
Wish they were real leather!
By Fashionista
from Etobicoke, ON
Extremely comfortable and true to size. I wish they were real leather. I got the grey, and they were more taupe than I would have liked. Wish I had gotten black.
Still undecided
By Colleen
from Edmonton
The color I ordered was grey but they are very pale and not really a fall/winter color. The size is fine but the sides gape and I feel like I am walking out of the shoes. Have not been able to wear out as too much snow here. I plan to keep the shoes but I'm not sure I love them.
By S
from Kingston
I was excited to see a loafer by Orthaheel & purchased two pairs (black & wineberry)in the same size. However, the two colours fit differently in that the black seemed smaller & the wineberry were wider & gaped at the sides.As well, the wineberry were too pinky in colour. Not what I expected.Wish the shoes were leather & not so rubbery smelling.
Love these shoes
By Painless Kate
from Chilliwack, B.C.
Not fussy about the wineberry color, rather pale. The size 10 is abit on the small side lengthwise for me. I also purchased the Orthotic walker which is a great fit, also the Yolanda sandal which I love. GOOD-BYE HIP REPLACEMENT!!! I can run, I can walk, I can sleep PAIN FREE! YES, YES, BUY ORTHOTICS!

Feb. 26, 2013 — There are many things I enjoy about my job reporting news here at the paper. The variety of stories and the people I get to interview always makes things interesting.
I value the working relationships I've built up over the years with news sources and contacts, but some stick out more than others, probably due to the length of time I've worked with a person.
For six years I've reported on the happenings at Lassen High School from homecoming to graduation and a lot in between. The second Tuesday of every month I have a standing reservation at the Lassen Union High School District (LUHSD) board meetings where items are discussed from test scores to budgets.
Feb. 26, 2013 — An estimated 80 or 90 Lassen County residents recently packed the dining room at the Pizza Factory to attend a TEA Party Patriots meeting featuring a presentation by Lassen County Sheriff Dean Growdon.
With gun control proposals coming from both the federal and state governments and reports of gun violence taking up lots of bandwidth in the national media these days, it's not surprising many TEA Party Patriots expressed their concern about this issue and their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Feb. 19, 2013 — So, just how long should it take to get a ruling from the Lassen County Superior Court?
Tom Hammond, one of the proponents seeking the recall of Lassen County District 5 Supervisor Jack Hanson, filed a petition for a writ of mandate with the court seven long months ago — on Aug. 10 to be exact. A writ of mandate is a court order to a government agency to follow the law by correcting its prior action or ceasing its illegal acts.
Feb. 19, 2013 — In January during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, cyclist Lance Armstrong admitted he took performance-enhancing drugs to boost oxygen levels in order to achieve victory in the Tour de France. Apparently his motivation was a "ruthless desire to win."
I supported Armstrong until it was very clear he had indeed, cheated. My husband watches the Tour de France and is a cycling fan, so I was familiar with the athlete's career. I remembered the articles I had read about his strict training regimen. Now we will never know the extent of his talent.

Lately, Turner Classic Movies has been doing a lot of nights where they have guest programmers come in, and pick roughly five movies to show in one night, which those programmers believe cover not only their taste in films, but also what they believe are the most important bits of film history.
Hypothetical situation: Let's say that you were picked up by TCM to be a guest programmer for one night, and you got to pick five movies that summarize your taste in films and cover a wide range of film history. What five movies would you pick?
Here are the rules:
-No more than five films.
-One film per genre (as in don't pick more than one film from the same type of genre)
-Keeping with how TCM traditionally works, please try not to pick a movie made in the 80s, 90s or 2000s.
-Try to pick films that you feel summarize up your taste in films, not just your five favorite films.
Here would be my picks:
-Ikiru - A film that I feel everybody needs to see at some point in their life. It speaks to every one of us in some way, and is one of the few films out there that might actually make somebody actually change their lives.
-Sunset Boulevard - If I had to make a list of what I think are the greatest movies of all time, this would most likely be number one. It's a film that gets everything right, and is damn near perfect, capturing everything beautiful and ugly about filmmaking.
-Mothra vs. Godzilla - I couldn't resist. This is one of the films that got me interested in films from the beginning, and has had a huge influence on me.
-It's A Wonderful Life - I have to include the best performance from my favorite actor (Jimmy Stewart). Much like Ikiru, it's just the kind of film that speaks to everyone, no matter what language you speak.
-City Lights - IMO, the most important silent film ever made, as well as being Charlie Chaplin's best film. Made at a time when silent films were all but dead, Chaplin proves that they can be just as powerful as any talkie, if not more powerful, and showing the amazing strength of visual art.

Build Diary| David Wren | Concert Guitar Part 8
Please Click on the pics for fullsized view!
David Wren is a really talented Canadian luthier who trained under Jean Larrivée along side Grit Laskin, Linda Manzer, Sergei De Jonge and Tony Duggan-Smith. Jean Larrivée spoke of David Wren saying: "He worked for me for five years, and he was by far the very best that ever worked in the shop. He is very, very talented." In David's own words:
"During the seventies and eighties I was privileged to accept orders from performers that included Bruce Cockburn, Jackson Browne and Joan Baez. I produced close to two hundred guitars in the old Elmer Avenue and Oakcrest Avenue shops … everything from my original Concert body style to Orchestra Models and Dreadnoughts, as well as hand carved archtop jazz guitars.
From 1990 until 2009 I was a partner in the Twelfth Fret Guitarists' Pro Shop in Toronto. My responsibilities included developing the acoustic instrument roster with special emphasis on small-shop and individual luthier brands. From 1996 until 2009 I also developed and maintained all aspects of the store's website.
Working in a retail environment that specialized in high-end acoustic guitars gave me access to a wide array of instruments from all over the world. Studying these instruments in detail … their dimensions, resonant frequencies, top graduations, plate radius details … was an education that has been invaluable to my development as a luthier
In September of 2009, the call to build guitars again became too loud to ignore … it was time to sharpen my chisels once again. At that point in time I was able to build an instrument with my friend Sergei de Jonge, who helped me get my woodworking chops back up to speed, and along with his daughter Joshia, taught me to French Polish. The de Jonge family's influence can be seen in my instruments in many ways … my finish, spalted wood rosette and side port are all from Sergei de Jonge."
I have always loved the older Larrivees and over the years have come across several of David Wren's old guitars. Balance and response in spades have been their hallmark and suffice to say my appetite for a Wren grew year after year as I played more and more great sounding Wrens. His concerts have been very very consistent and the tone from even the simplest of Sitka/ Mahogany combinations has been great.
Throw in David's delicate inlay work and I always knew a Wren would be on the cards soon. I just had to wait for the right used one to come along as David was still heavily involved in the 12fret and not building. The stage was really set when David returned to lutherie in 2009 last year and started taking orders again!
1. Stay tuned for an interview with David!
2. Read about cocobolo here
3. Build diary index

I jumped at the chance to order a new Wren and after some consultation with David, settled on his impressive Concert model and the following specs:
- Concert model
- Venetian rounded Cutaway
- Top: European Alpine Spruce
- Back: Figured "cloud" Cocobolo (from my stash)
- Nut width: 1 3/4″
- Scale: 25.4″
- Tuners: Gotoh 510s
- Modern assymetrical frequency compensated ebony bridge
- Bone bridge pins
- Modern assymetrical fingerboard extension (matches radius of peghead)
- ebony body body binding
- Modern assymetrical peghead shape with Wren inlay on front veneer
- Tuners: Gotoh 510 tuners : antique gold finish with ebony buttons
- Matching peghead backstrap
- Simplified small Wren inlay at 12th fret position on ebony fingerboard : side dots
As a fan of his inlays I had to get a signature Wren inlay, but instead of having at the 5th fret, David's usual placement, he kindly agreed to inlay it onto the headstock and have a matching simplified inlay at the 12 fret. The cocobolo from my personal stash is a highly figured set with tight, small burly areas and cut just off the quarter. Some folks have called it "Cloud" figure, I just think it's very pretty.

Republicans Still Trying To Slow Down Health Care Reform
With Democratic leaders and White House officials holed up in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) office negotiating a final bill, Republicans are demanding a deceleration of the process and moving to define whatever plan that emerges as a combination of Medicare cuts, tax increases, higher insurance premiums and rising overall costs.
Notice how they throw out Medicare cuts again? The party that rammed through a prescription drug bill for Medicare that ended up preventing seniors from getting their life saving medications is bitching about this. The Republicans that introduced the doughnut hole that makes Seniors, even those on low/fixed income, to pay full price for their needed meds are still acting like the saviors of Medicare.
Then we have this part:
Senate Democrats are rejecting Republicans' demands to slow things down, charging that the GOP isn't interested in working with the majority to craft a bipartisan health care bill. Rather, Reid said repeatedly last week, the Republicans' primary goal is to sink reform in order to undercut President Barack Obama.
(emphasis added)
I'm glad that the Democrats finally realized that the Republicans absolutely do not want bipartisanship or even health care reform. Hell it took the minority leader basically saying that exact thing for them to realize this. Why didn't they listen months ago when every one else was saying that the Republicans had absolutely no plans of working with Democrats let alone reform health care? We would have a much better bill that would probably be law already.

Religious Cacophony |
What's New - Latest | |
Shiv Sena has called for a ban on loudspeakers at mosques and accused noise pollution activist Sumaira Abdulali of bias.
See report in DNA: http://www.dnaindia.com/
Sumaira's Reply
From Sudhir Badami, leading anti-noise pollution activist:
I am forwarding to you all, response of Ms Sumaira Abdulali (Awaaz Foundation). I fully support her response as I have been a campaigner against noise. Yet I believe that there must be avenues for public expressions to political visions and aspirations. Therefore, perhaps a reasonable solution could be arrived at if one keeps cool heads and desires not to get deciBell points {aka brownie points]. Apparently Shiv Sena decided to opt for gaining delBell points at Shivaji Park on 17 October 2010 at their annual Vijayadashami Rally. They could very well have used distributed speaker system with low amplification power which has a throw of 5 m. This would ensure that 5 m beyond the peripheral speakers, the sound level will attain the prevailing ambient noise level. This point is what needs to be pursued with by all and not take an attitude of "tiger's roar cannot be restricted to 50dB(A)". Having said that, let me touch upon the Azaan issue and Ms Sumaira. I can assure you that she has been consistent with her efforts to bring down noise levels and has a petition in the High Court pending for a long time and she spares no effort in this direction either.
It is not just Bhendi Bazar or Behram Pada areas which get affected by the Azaans. It is a nuisance violating noise rules grossly affecting every person round the year five times a day wherever there is a mosque. All political parties are responsible for being ineffective as each one of the major parties have been in power over the past 35 year. It was sometime during the Emergency (~1976) period that the Government of Maharashtra gave permission to religious places to put up loudspeakers atop their towers. The EP Act came about in 1986, Noise Rule in 1989 and the revised Rule in 2000. The EPA-1986 supersedes all other acts or rules. The "Yuti Sarkar" should have been aware of this but preferred to keep silent when they were in power.
I am not trying to point fingers at any one but wish to urge every one of you to take proactive measures to encourage observance of Noise Pollution (Control and Regulation) Rules 2000 rather than work against it for political gains in the form of "delBell points".
For easy access to Noise related matter, please visit my website given below.
I am sharing this with my media friends.

Feeding your mind, saving the planet >>
Two newspaper editorials have applauded Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., for his successful efforts to add a conservation compliance amendment to the recently passed Senate farm bill. The proposal simply restores the conservation quid pro quo between taxpayers and farmers as crop insurance subsidies replace traditional farm payments.
Everyone who eats should take a moment to thank 11 senators who proposed farm bill amendments designed to ensure that our farm and food policies help more farmers, the environment and the hungry at less cost to the taxpayer.
Today, CNBC.com reported that the U.S. Department of Agriculture encountered significant shortcomings in dealing with fraud in the federal crop insurance program. It pointed out that the newly passed Senate farm bill would open the door for more fraud. The bill, which adds a new layer to the already bloated insurance program to guarantee business income for large farmers, does not have any government protections to prevent fraudulent claims.
Environmental Working Group joined a politically diverse alliance of fiscal and environmental groups at the National Press Club today to highlight shortcomings in the 2012 Senate farm bill.
EWG issued the following statement by Scott Faber, Vice President for Government Affairs, on the Senate's failure to pass Senator Gillibrand's amendment to reduce subsidies to crop insurance companies to restore proposed cuts to feeding assistance programs and to increase funding for the fresh fruit and vegetable snack program.
The Environmental Working Group releases today an updated interactive map containing more than 550 pro-reform farm bill editorials -- nearly a 100 since the last farm bill. The newly added editorials call for significant reform to current food and agriculture policy in a way that is beneficial to family farmers, hungry children, taxpayers and the environment.
Gregory Meyer at the Financial Times has an explosive story (subscription required) on how big time money managers can't get enough of the federal government's revenue guarantees with crop insurance subsidies.
"Large farms simply don't need unlimited government support to pay for crop insurance. Capping these premium supports will cut the deficit, while ensuring farms continue to have access to insurance. It's just common sense."
National leaders in food and farm policy have taken steps to form a new nonprofit organization that for the first time will hold lawmakers in Congress accountable for their votes on a broad range of issues, including food safety, farm subsidies, nutrition assistance, farm animal welfare, fisheries management, organic and local food, farm and food worker justice, and the impacts of food and farm policies on the environment.
The Environmental Working Group released two eye-opening investigations today as the Senate farm bill teeters between passage and failure. The first is an exhaustive analysis of the crop insurance lobby and reveals why subsidizing crop insurance has been in such favor with Congress:
Few Americans know that taxpayers finance a $90 billion crop insurance program that provides millions in subsidies to highly profitable farm businesses and insurance companies. And even fewer know that the crop insurance industry spends more on lobbying and political donations than farm organization representing corn, soybean and wheat farmers.
When the government allows oil and gas companies to avoid paying taxes, lawmakers call it a "subsidy." But when the government pays 62 percent of the cost of obtaining crop insurance, it's called a "discount?"
NEW on the Environmental Working Group's highly-regarded farm subsidy database (more than 350 million searches since 2004): crop insurance data.
Editorial boards across the country continue deriding the lack of meaningful reform in the Senate farm bill. The Washington Post weighed in today in an editorial called, "Fertile ground for change." Some excerpts: "The bill's savings would have been almost twice as great if it did not offset the elimination of direct payments with a new, subsidized crop insurance program on top of the generous one from which farmers already benefit."
The Senate is expected to start debate this week on adoption of common sense reforms to the federal crop insurance program. This issue could not be more important. Crop insurance has quietly become the primary source of federal subsidies for farmers.
The New York Times' Ron Nixon reports that the Obama administration wants to see deeper cuts to crop insurance as the farm bill debate goes forward: "The bill is expected to cost about $969 billion over the next 10 years, but cuts overall spending by $23 billion."
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., introduced amendments today that would save taxpayers billions of dollars and take important steps toward reforming the heavily subsidized federal crop insurance program.
The Salt Lake City Tribune joined the growing list of newspapers casting scorn on the Senate Agriculture Committee's 2012 farm bill.
It seems that an expensive new entitlement program, unlimited insurance subsidies and new insurance programs designed just for cotton and peanut farmers just aren't enough for some Southern legislators.
For those of us lucky enough to sit down every day to healthy, nutritious meals, it's easy to forget that millions of American families in the grip of the recession are struggling to put food on the table and often end up consuming cheap, heavily processed food that puts their health at risk.

Oakland County residents respond to Obama's plan for gun control WITH VIDEO
Oakland County residents reacted Thursday to President Barack Obama's plan to prevent gun violence in America.The president has made a $500 million plan to require background checks for gun sales and put a ban on assault weapons and ammunition magazines. He signed 23 executive actions on Wednesday to begin the process.
Most residents were supportive of the president, citing that there is no need to own an assault weapon.
Fabian Lopez of Troy is for gun rights, but he supports Obama's plan in this case.
"I'm for rights of having a gun, but not a semi-automatic to go hunting, you just need one shot ... how can you miss a target? I hunt with a shotgun and rifle sometime," Lopez said.
"You don't need a semiautomatic, you don't need that heavy of a weapon to kill an animal. You're not a very good shot if you have to use an semiautomatic weapon — but still you have the right to own a gun. You should be able to have that liberty because it is in the constitution and it is my right and I should have it."
Alan Franks of Troy also thought a ban would be appropriate because guns are only necessary for things like hunting.
"I think it's great, I think all these assault weapons should be taken off the street, period. Why do you need an assault (weapon)? You don't use them for hunting. It just takes one bullet to kill a deer, " Franks said.
Though some didn't agree with him on most issues, this plan is something John Ebarra from Rochester supports.
"I'll go along with his gun control, that's about it for him. Nothing else about him," Ebarra said. Continued...
Like the National Rifle Association, some citizens heavily oppose much of the plan.
"I think the government wants to control everything nowadays, I think there's no freedom of anything anymore," said Anthony Jarvas, 41, of Troy.

Free Fishing: Test the Wisconsin Waters Jan. 19-20
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is holding a free fishing weekend. No license? No problem!
Curious to try ice fishing but don't have a fishing license?
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is holding a free fishing weekend from Jan. 19 and Jan. 20.
People can fish any of Wisconsin's inland waters and on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan without a license during the free fishing weekend. All other state rules apply, according to the DNR.
Patch blogger Chad Leton shares local ice fishing conditions. Here's an update from his most recent blog:
Most lakes are providing anglers 4-6" of solid clear ice under a dusting of snow. It is STILL recommended to stay off the bigger lakes and main lake areas of lakes like Okauchee, Nagawicka, and Oconomowoc. If you want success while jigging panfish, it's best to have your Vexilar and hole hop to keep catching them. Still, you'll have to do a lot of sorting for bigger fish. Some big walleyes have been reported on Pewaukee on the edges of the bays but you'll be up late to do it! Pike in shallow, 4-9' of water, seems to be producing the most action if you're using medium to large golden shiners. The subtle fronts moving through do not have the fishing stabilized but at least the dusty of snow will keep you upright without having to wear your ice cleats!
7:43 pm on Wednesday, January 9, 2013
Drop it in the water when you go fishing that way your question and this article will all make sense

I like the weight its not heavy or feels top heavy. I use normly for breaking parts off from gaskets and corrodtion. Great tool alot cheaper then snap-on deadblow.

OK - Let's get one thing straight. This hammer isn't a sledge hammer and it isn't a rubber mallet. This tool is a Dead-Blow Hammer. It is designed for driving two pieces of wood together. It is most commonly used to drive pieces together for joinery. The head of the hammer is made up of multiple shot which absorb energy as the head strikes another surface. This provides minimum recoil. This particular set of Dead-Blow Hammers is among the best I have ever used. I really like the shape and style of the handle grip. It is extremely comfortable and easy to grip. You will love it two, if you use it properly.

This was bought as a replacement for a "borrowed" hammer over 17 years old. It's better than the original Craftsman, although the red colour tends for it to get lost in the background. I love the vivid yellow!

Interactive Tool: How Much Is Smoking Costing You?
What's next?
Quitting smoking can be difficult, especially if you have been smoking for a long time. It may take several tries before you succeed. But even if you have a strong dependence on nicotine, it is still possible to quit. And even if you have smoked for many years, quitting smoking now can still increase your life span and improve the quality of your life.
The best way to stop smoking is to get help and to follow a plan. You can increase your chances of quitting if you:
- Take medicines such as bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Chantix).
- Use nicotine replacement therapy (gum, lozenges, patches, or inhalers).
- Get counseling (by phone, group, or one-on-one).
Both taking medicine and getting counseling works even better for quitting smoking.

John Glenn Receives Presidential Medal of Freedom (201205290001HQ)
President Barack Obama presents former United States Marine Corps pilot, astronaut, and United States Senator John Glenn with a Medal of Freedom, Tuesday, May 29, 2012, during a ceremony at the White House in Washington. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
Bravo! A fitting honor for one of the true pioneers of U.S. Space Program.
John Herschel Glenn, Jr. (born July 18, 1921) is a former United States Marine Corps pilot, astronaut, and United States senator who was the first American to orbit the Earth and the third American in space. Glenn was combat aviator in the Marine Corps and one of the seven elite US military test pilots to be selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (more commonly referred to as "NASA") to test fly and operate the experimental Mercury spacecraft outside of the mesosphere at altitudes above 115 miles (185 km) and at speeds exceeding 5,000 miles per hour (8,000 km/h) to become the first officially recognized American (US) astronauts. He flew the Friendship 7 mission on February 20, 1962. In 1965, Glenn retired from the military and resigned from NASA so he could be eligible to stand for election to public office. As a member of the Democratic Party he was elected to represent Ohio in the United States Senate from 1974 to 1999.
Glenn received a Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. He was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990. On October 29, 1998, he became the oldest person to fly in space, and the only one to fly in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle programs, when at age 77, he flew on Discovery (STS-95). As of 2012, Glenn and M. Scott Carpenter are the last living members of the Mercury Seven.

It has been nearly four weeks since Italians went to the polls and the country is still drifting rudderless without a functioning government. This week, political leaders are holding two days of crucial talks with Italy's ceremonial president of the republic, Giorgio Napolitano.
The talks began Wednesday morning and are expected to conclude at 6 p.m. Thursday in Rome.
Italy's February elections were inconclusive, and have created a political gridlock that is hobbling the country's economy.
The nation is currently in its longest recession in 20 years. It's economy -- Europe's third-largest with a government debt the Treasury Ministry puts at $2.6 trillion -- shrank by 0.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, Eurobarometer says.
After the elections failed to produce a government, international ratings agency Fitch downgraded Italy's credit rating from A- to BBB+ and warned of further risks if political uncertainty continues and reforms and austerity measures are stalled by a lack of a functioning government.
Italy's hung parliament met for the first time on Friday, when ministers began the process of electing leaders of the lower house and the Senate. Laura Boldrini, 51, a former journalist and spokeswoman for the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, won a strong majority as the speaker of the lower house. Piero Grasso, 68, an anti-mafia magistrate from Sicily, became the speaker of the Senate.
At a news conference Tuesday, Boldrini and Grasso pledged to push through legislation that would cut salaries and benefits for members of parliament by 30%. Italian lawmakers are among the highest paid in all of Europe, according to a Eurobarometer poll in 2011.
"We are asking for the same kinds of sacrifices to our pay that Italians are suffering through the recession," Boldrini told CNN by telephone.
But Italy is still lacking a functioning prime minister. None of the country's top leading parties currently has enough support to lead the country single-handedly, and none of the leaders have so far showed a willingness to form a grand coalition or support each other's candidates for the prime ministerial role.
Napolitano said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon that during this week's talks he will first attempt to persuade leaders to support Pierluigi Bersani of the center-left Partito Democratico as prime minister.

Marking its 35th convocation, the university celebrated the beginning of the academic year with a white coat ceremony at Fairplex.
"Each college has their own white coat ceremony and it's a chance for students come on stage and put on their white coats for the first time," said Rodney Tanaka, spokesman for Western University, about the white coat ceremony that started about 15 years ago.
"It really symbolizes their entry into the health profession and when they put that on, their responsibilities to the profession."
The convocation included adjunct professor of optometry Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, who introduced keynote speaker Diana Dooley. Dooley is the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency. She was appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown in December 2010.
Prior to leading the agency, she was president and chief executive officer of the California Children's Hospital Association, which is an advocate for the eight regional nonprofit children's hospitals in California.
The hospitals provide nearly 40 percent of all inpatient hospital care for children in the state, according to a university news release.
The university's Provost and Chief Operating Officer Gary Gugelchuk introduced the deans and talked about the university.
Western's President Philip Pumerantz and Warren Lawless, chairman of the university's Board of Trustees, also said few introductory words.
"At Western University, you will learn the skills needed to become one of the finest health-care professionals working in your field. Just as important, you will be a student of the WesternU philosophy, which follows a humanistic model and advocates compassionate care for all who seek it," Pumerantz said.

Post subject: Migraines
I do not think this is really a psychological condition but since migraines can be linked to anxiety and other disorders, I was wondering how many of us suffer from them here and how do you suffer ?
I have been suffering from migraine since I was 13, I have at least one migraine per month thanks to my menstrual cycle but I am also very sensitive to food, light, noise and temparature. Anxiety can also give me migraines. (I have almost every cause possible).
I do not have visual aura, however I have a "deaf ear" on the side affected before and sometimes during the migraine. It can affect my intellectual abilities but that's quite logical when you think about it. I usually have mood swings as well and my photophobia and phonophobia worsen.
I had to take a brain scan to make sure I did not have a tumor because some doctors think my migraines are unusual but they are really just migraines (though the last one I has started with a horrible acute sound in one of my ear which became totally deaf).

I have migraines, with nausea but no aura or hearing problems. A year or so ago I'd have what felt like a constant migraine (they would last for 4-5 days and by the time I recovered another one would come).
I've stopped eating chocolate, orange juice and cheese. The cheese was the hardest as I LOVE mature cheddar
I'm also sensitive to bright lights and smells so avoid them as much as possible. Now I have way less headaches, sometimes with a whole month free. Stress and anxiety I can't get rid of though.

I get mine from stress. They can include feeling like my head is being squeezed w/ a rubber band, eye pressure, nausea & occasionally ringing ears.
Balance is needed within the universe, can be demonstrated in most/all concepts/things. Black/White, Good/Evil, etc.
All dependent upon your own perspective in your own form of existence, so trust your own gut and live the way YOU want/need to.

I'm lucky in that I usually only get the visual aura but not the headache. It starts out as a small shimmering in the centre of my field of view then over around twenty minutes gets larger until I can't see clearly (impossible to drive or use the computer etc) then I can see clearly in the middle of my vision and everything shimmers around the outside. Eventually it passes and I can see clearly again. However, I've noticed I have difficulty concentrating for a few hours afterwards and I think my IQ is lower by several points during that time.
I've only had the associated head-pain a couple of times and it was agony. I thought I was going to die. I couldn't bare to open my eyes and had to remain in a dark room in total silence for an hour or two. It must be hell for people who get that intensity of pain often and for prolonged periods.

@Plywood. They are nothing to do with schizophrenia. They are simply part of a migraine headache. Some people get the headache and visual aura, some people just get the headache and some just get the visual aura. I think it is due to some sort of temporary chemical imbalance / disruption in the visual cortex of the brain and the disturbance grows outwards over around 20 minutes and into other parts of the brain.
This is similar to the visual aura I see. Mine grows and fills the whole field of view though, not just a small bit to one side as shown in this YouTube. The flickering I see is identical to this, but lasts twenty minutes not a few seconds:

Yes, but it starts off as a tiny shimmering spot right in the middle of where I'm looking then grows larger and is shaped like a huge shimmering letter
. Eventually I can see through the middle of the
and the edges of the shimmering are all around the edges of what I look at. Then it expands completely out of view. There is no mistaking it - I can't read, drive or anything when the aura starts up. Apparently mine is a very typical migraine aura.

My wife has suffered with migrains for years, although she more or less has it under control now.
When it starts she looses the top or bottom of her vision. She said i'ts like someone is holding a curtain in front of her. ( Her brother also has migrains and said he looses vision on one side or the other). This last for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then there is about 20 minutes befor the headache and nausea kick in and last for 3 to 4 hours ( or longer )
We are lucky and have good insurance, we went to doctors, specialist, nuerologist. At best they didn't help at all. Some of the drugs made the headaces worse. A nurse told us that some patients had some success with changing their diet. We got some books and tried it and she has been almost completely migrain free for close to 3 years know. The last one she had was 2 years ago on Thanksgiving when she decided she would enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner ( even though she was sure that there was stuff in it she should not have).
Basically, She just eats real simple foods, avoids preservatives, chemical flavorings ( yes MSG), and fermented food. We cook almost everything from scratch and rarely eat out.
She used to have 1 or 2 a week.

I get scintillating scotomas which is from what I have read up on are kind of related to migraines but often I do not get the follow up headaches or they are very slight. But I certainly do not drive while I am having one because as I am having one cars seem to vanish a reappear, even big trucks. So I pull over to the side of the road and wait usually at least an hour for them to pass.

I get headaches nearly everyday. I've had them chronically since about 12 years old, but I had headaches before then. I've seen many neurologists and neurosurgeons, some have said they're migraines, others have said they're related to stress, muscle tension, hormones, other medical conditions, etc. So I'm not sure whether I'd classify them as migraines or not...going by traditional migraine symptoms, I don't call them migraines myself.
After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

i get both ocular and aural migraines. the aural ones are a bit scary in that an octave wodge of sound spectrum centered at roughly 1000 cycles per second, is replaced by a wolf-tone of buzzing and chirping and ringing. watching the late-night tv test pattern, instead of hearing the 1000 cycle per second test tone i heard just buzzing and ringing at roughly a half-octave above.

I've been getting migraines with aura for at least 6 or 7 years. They always begin with a few sporadic flashes of light in my vision; gradually a portion of the left area of my peripheral vision becomes opaque, then shimmers, and gradually grows to cover up a good portion of my vision before disappearing. Most of the time I feel a lot of pain in my head during this time but sometimes there is no symptom other than the scintillating scotoma present in my left visual field. The migraines make me suffer at work or school, but when I'm at home or have no obligations I think cannabis is an excellent cure for migraines, always works for me, but its not really an option for every single time unfortunately. I wonder if there is a synthetic thc migraine drug out there that can give the alleviating effects without the euphoric state of highness that can be a liability
