Twitter, Much?
April 2nd, 2014
I never really understood the whole point of Twitter until I saw some of these Tweet-ettes. All you need to do to really get the most out of this social networking platform is follow some luscious ladies who like to flaunt their feathers.

I really watned to jot down a small word to be able to express gratitude to you for the remarkable guidelines you are posting at this site. My particularly long internet investigation has finally been rewarded with reasonable suggestions to talk about wit
I started readnig blogs about Twitter to help me to gain more knowledge about its environment and how will it works well. Though I'm a little bit late to create Twitter account still I will not lose my opportunity to be part of it as well as to experience
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wesihd to say that I've really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you doawlond it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design. Kudos
We wish to thank you just as before for the stinnung ideas you offered Jesse when preparing a post-graduate research plus, most importantly, regarding providing all the ideas within a blog post. If we had known of your blog a year ago, we'd have been save
Great video. I've been using Tweetdeck for quite a while now, and picked up lots of litlte tricks along the way, so the only reason I clicked a link that was tweeted that said Tweetdeck tutorial was because it also said for following large numbers.
A huge problem with Tweetdeck right now is that you cnnaot input more sophisticated queries on the with Friends stream, asf. And that the filters/searches and their results are not saved within the app.I've been experimenting with using my with friends
Oops - I put my own on there before rdaieng "feature another blogger"! Guess I was excited about having a post this week.Anyway, I'm featuring an old friend's (from North AL) blog this week. His blog is a great place to spend some time, but it will make
People tend to assume that chilerdn are carefree and living in the best times of their lives. They have no worries, no reason to fret, nothing to be concerned about other than where to hang out after school. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in t

No, it has the best screen in the bueinsss, it's an IPS panel, non-Apple laptops use the cheaper panels, that's why they are so grainy. There's lots of cases that move it into various positions if you want to turn it into a laptop. What? there are 170,000

Doug's group creates new nanoporous materials for use as adsorbents. These are of two types – carbon silica composites (CSCs), which have a mesoporous silica phase impregnated with a nanoporous carbon phase, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs), which consist of metal ions coordinated to organic linkers to form large organized nanoporous assemblies. The group synthesizes the new materials, characterizes them physically and chemically, and determines mass transfer and kinetic properties using novel frequency response methods developed by the group.

Mattel's Results Show Why Barbie Is Still So Yesterday
TheStreet) --
(MAT) reported a first-quarter loss that missed Wall Street estimates and highlighted the company's Barbie problem.
The news sent shares of Mattel down 2% to $37.05 in recent trading. The stock is down 22% so far this year.
Among its core brands, Barbie suffered the biggest sales drop -- down 14% in the period. She may be the muse of the company, but was barely mentioned on the company's conference call this morning. For the quarter, net sales for Mattel were $946.2 million, down 5% from $995.6 million last year.
Sales of the doll and its play-sets have been sliding for quite some time. Although children are gravitating more toward technological toys, such as Apple (AAPL) iPads and LeapFrog (LEAP) Leappads, there is still something to say about imaginative play. Children, mainly young girls, still do enjoy playing with dolls.
Mattel says gross sales worldwide for "Other Girls" brands rose 4%, driven by the Disney Princess -- especially from the the blockbuster Disney (DIS) movie Frozen and television show Sofia the First. It also says the brand, Ever After High, helped offset slower sales of Monster High products.
Mattel should continue to shine a brighter light on its American Girl brand -- including the new "Girl of the Year," Isabelle. First-quarter gross sales for American Girl continue to grow, up 5% versus the prior year, raking in almost $106 million.With more households tightening their belts, kids may be playing with more hand-me-down Barbies. For a special treat, a mom may buy a new bargain Barbie that sells for just $3 at Walmart (WMT). As the economy continues to recover, 22 million Americans are still unemployed or under-employed. In a statement, Mattel CEO Bryan G. Stockton said the company is facing a "challenging retail environment." Plus, new parents may be using more second-hand baby gear, passed down from friends or family. First-quarter worldwide gross sales for Fisher-Price Brands fell 6% to $271.4 million from the prior year. Mattel Chief Financial Officer Kevin Farr says the company "still has a lot more work to do." It plans to expand its entertainment properties, boost international sales and focus more on its core brands. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned. This article represents the opinion of a contributor and not necessarily that of TheStreet or its editorial staff.

The port of Antwerp's container traffic grew a modest, but significant, 0.7 percent in the first three months of 2012, reaching a record high for the first quarter in sharp contrast to a 4 percent decline at arch rival Rotterdam.
The Belgian port handled 2,188,150 20-foot-equivalent units in the first quarter, 15,862 TEUs more than in the same period in 2011.
"The Antwerp container handlers have never before had such a good first quarter," according to the Port Authority. The second quarter "also looks very promising," with the arrival of two new Far East services, it said.
Rotterdam handled 2.78 million TEUs in the first quarter, retaining its top ranking among European container ports, while Antwerp likely has consolidated its third place behind Hamburg, which has yet to publish traffic figures.
Antwerp's total first quarter throughput dipped 2.2 percent to 46.3 million metric tons, outpaced by Rotterdam's 3 percent growth to 110 million tons.
Steel products, down 20.3 percent at 1.55 million tons, and liquid bulk, 13.5 percent lower at 10.3 million tons, were the biggest losers in the quarter.
Coal shipments soared 34.5 percent to 1.73 million tons and grain traffic grew 18.7 percent to 324,000 tons.
Conventional/break bulk cargo tumbled 13.6 percent to 2.53 million tons, mainly due to sharply lower steel shipments. Roll-on roll-off traffic was 12.3 percent higher at 1.3 million tons.
The number of ship calls declined 3 percent to 3,629.

Dharma Productions 2013 – 2014 Movies
Dharma Productions, the company founded by the late Yash Johar way back in 1976, produced a few memorable films like Dostana (1980) and Agneepath (1990). But it was Yash Johar's son Karan who took the company to the next level. It all started with his directorial debut 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', which went on to be one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian Cinema. Soon after, Dharma churned out super-successful films like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', 'My Name is Khan' and 'Agneepath'.
The banner had 3 releases in 2012 – while 'Agneepath' was a huge hit, 'Ek Main Aur Ek Tu' did above average business. Student Of The Year was Karan's first film without established superstars, in fact the film went on to be one of the biggest hits of 2012 even though it launched three new faces.
In the next couple of years, the production house has several interesting films lined up for release. Below is a detailed list of all Dharma Production films in 2013 and 2014
1. Gippi: When one of Bollywood's biggest producers like Karan Johar decides to produce a small budget 4 crore film like Gippi, you automatically know there must be something very special about it. Gippi is a story of a 13 year old kid, played by Delhi girl Riya Vij. Ayan Mukherji's assistant from 'Wake Up Sid', Sonam Nair, makes her debut as a director. The most interesting facet of Sonam directing Gippi is that she is the first lady debutante director to be launched by Dharma Productions. We think this could turn out to be one of the little gems of 2013
2. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani: One of the biggest movies of 2013, YJHD has ex-couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone as it's lead pair. It is directed by Ayan Mukerji who had earlier directed 'Wake Up Sid' for Dharma Productions. The music of the movie is catching on like a house on fire and the party is all set to begin from May 31. The trade has high expectations from the film too. Will YJHD be the first 100 crore hit of 2013?
3. Ungli: Rensil D Silva's last film 'Kurbaan' was received well by the critics, but was a rare failure for Dharma Productions. The director's next 'Ungli' features Emraan Hashmi, Sanjay Dutt, Randeep Hooda , Kangna Ranaut and Neha Dhupia. Not much is known about the film, which is expected to release later this year.
4. Gori Tere Pyaar Mein: Directed by Punit Malhotra, this movie has Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Shradhdha Kapoor in pivotal roles. Punit started his directorial career with Dharma's 'I Hate Lov Storys'. Earlier he had worked as an assistant director in K3G and Kal Ho Na Ho. 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein' is expected to release on November 15th 2013.
5. Hasee Toh Phasee: Co-produced by Dharma Productions and Phantom Films, HTP has Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeta Chopra in the lead. Ad director Vinil Mathew will make his directorial debut with this movie. Sidharth began his acting career in 2012 with 'Student of the Year' and he'd be hoping with the banner is a bigger success. Hasee Toh Phasee releases 24 January 2014.
6. 2 States: Based on Chetan Bhagat's popular novel with the same title, 2 States is co-produced by Dharma Productions and Sajid Nadiadwala. It will be the fourth Chetan Bhagat novel that will be adapted into a feature film after Hello (One Night At Call Centre), 3 Idiots (Five Point Someone) and Kai Po Che (The Three Mistakes Of My Life). 2 States, directed by Abhishek Varman, has Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
7. Shuddhi: Undoubtedly the biggest upcoming Dharma Production film, 'Shuddhi' is directed by Karan Malhotra of 'Agneepath' fame. The movie will be shot in Hardiwar and if rumours are to be believed, the film is based on a reincarnation tale. There are also reports that the world might finally get to be Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor sharing screen-space once again after 10 years!
8. Gutka: Akshay Kumar is confirmed to play the lead role in this Dharma Production to be directed by Punit Malhotra. Punit's kitty is full as he will start shooting for Gutka immediately after wrapping up 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein'. Arjun Kapoor will play the second male lead, while the leading lady is yet to be officially announced.
9. Dostana 2: The sequel to Dharma's 2008 surprise hit 'Dostana' will have John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan reprising their roles from the original. The leading lady for this movie has not been finalized yet. Tarun Mansukhani will direct the sequel as well.
10. Akshay Roy's untitled film: In this Balaji and Dharma co-production, Emraan Hashmi will star opposite Kareena Kapoor. This is Emraan's 2nd movie with both Dharma and Balaji after 'Ungli' and 'Ek Thi Daayan' respectively.
Apart from these, official confirmation is awaited for 2 huge movies – KJo's next directorial venture with Shahrukh Khan and Rohit Shetty's next with Salman Khan.

My top 3 would be Shuddhi, Yeh jawani hai diwani and Dostana 2.
Shudhi looks more exciting coz of hrithik and agneepath team. But i have a feeling that it would be a slow film.
Yeh jawani hai diwani looks interesting coz of ranbir and deepika and also coz its a multiplex targetted film which we rarely get these days from top stars.
Dostana 2 coz i enjoyd its 1st part.
Also heard 2 states is a great novel so looking forward to it too

On a typically sweltering day in southern Louisiana this past June, 50 volunteers, including preteens and grandparents, slogged through wet, thigh-high earth on Fourchon beach to plug 11,000 smooth cordgrass plants into a manmade mud platform. It was hot, dirty work, but they may have saved a beach, along with the least terns and endangered piping plovers that seek refuge there. The effort is part of a massive ecological project that rivals the $8 billion Everglades restoration now under way in Florida. The ambitious Louisiana plan, which would cost an estimated $14 billion, aims to restore and create almost a half-million acres of wetlands by 2050. A diverse alliance of scientists, state and federal agencies, energy executives, commercial-fishing groups, and environmental organizations support the campaign. Louisianans believe the modest 45 acres of marsh rebuilt on Fourchon beach in June will help save their state from sinking further into the Gulf of Mexico.
Time is running out. Low-lying Louisiana loses about a football-field-size chunk of land every half-hour, as invading salt water from the Gulf of Mexico licks away at the state's wounded marshes. In the past 50 years about 1,500 square milesan area larger than Rhode Islandhave been erased. While a nearly $2 billion, short-term restoration plan, to begin in 2006, was recently supported by the White House (Congressional approval is pending), Louisianans are going ahead with their own initiatives, including the $800,000 Fourchon restoration. "This project can be used as a model," says Mitchell Pitre, a landscape contractor who grew many of the plants for the restoration. "What really needs to be done, though, is huge."
The crisis began about 300 years ago when the French tried to control the Mississippi River and its periodic flooding by building levees. In 1928 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assumed responsibility for constructing and maintaining what has become more than 2,000 miles of walls, depriving the delta of the millions of acres of sediment and fresh water that kept it alive. Oil and gas development in the state has also sliced canals into the fragile ecosystem, accelerating the erosion. (About 18 percent of U.S. oil and 24 percent of U.S. natural gas is extracted from Louisiana.)
In coastal areas, where millions live, there is a palpable sense of urgency. "I really worry about the people in south Louisiana," says Brian Kendrick, a civil engineer who worked at Fourchon. Residents face potentially fatal floods when storms and hurricanes batter the coastline. Biologists also fret over the fate of the millions of migratory birds that depend on the nutrient-rich waters, grasses, mangrove forests, and cypress swamps of the disappearing wetlands. "It's a challenging time for both the birds and the environmental community," says Don Norman, a biologist and wildlife consultant, who grew up in Louisiana. Studies show that a $26 million structure that restores freshwater flow, built in southeast Louisiana in 1991, has been a boon to waterfowl, but the undertaking has also incited controversial legal battles with oyster fishers, who claim the restoration put them out of business.
"That's just the tip of the iceberg," says Shea Penland, a geologist at the Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of New Orleans, referring to other looming conflicts between the restoration plan's multiple stakeholders. "In some cases oil and gas infrastructures are going to have to be moved to allow restoration to take place," he says.
But the energy industry is also at risk. Due to rapid coastal erosion,
fuel pipes originally buried under the soil are now being exposed to open
tides, wind, storms, and corrosive salt water. "Ultimately,"
adds Penland, "they benefit from the restoration."

The residents of Tucson, Arizona, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, are making a big investment in conservation. In May voters there overwhelmingly approved a $174.3 million bond measure to purchase and safeguard up to 190,000 acres of critical Sonoran Desert habitat, which more than 250 speciesincluding the pygmy owl, mountain lion, and desert tortoise (above)rely on for refuge.
"It's the first time [Pima] county has looked at protection of natural resources as the backbone of how we are going to grow," says Carolyn Campbell, executive director of the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, a diverse alliance of 41 community and environmental groups that promoted the initiative. "With 65 percent of all voters turning out in its favor, this bond's passage says a lot about the public's support of open space," adds Sonja Macys, executive director of Tucson Audubon, a leading member of the coalition.
That support is part of a national trend that has been building for 40 years. Green Acres, the nation's first public open-space bond, was approved in New Jersey in 1961. Through the 1970s and 1980s conservation ballot measures slowly gained momentum in heavily developed areas on the East Coast. By the mid-1990s widespread concerns about sprawl had triggered a new wave of open-space bids, particularly in the Southwest. In the past six years alone, voters have approved more than $26 billion nationwide to preserve space, farmland and ranchland, parks, and watersheds. These actions seek to counter the annual 2 to 3 million acres that have been lost to development over the past decade. "Unless urban sprawl comes to an end, I think open-space ballot measures are going to continue to grow," says Ernest Cook, director of conservation finance for the Trust for Public Land.
Indeed, this November residents of Utah, Florida, California, Tennessee,
and Rhode Island are slated to cast their votes on an additional $617
million for open-space protection. As ballot measures gain momentum nationwide,
they are also becoming more effective tools of conservation by focusing
in on an area's most critical habitats. The recent passage of Tucson's
open-space bondwhich marks the first phase of the Sonoran Desert
Conservation Plan, a comprehensive environmental-protection and planning
blueprint covering nearly 6 million acresis a prime example. "This
bond has set a precedent for all other communities in the Southwest in
terms of multispecies habitat-conservation plans," says Campbell.
"We are conserving the lands that most need protection to support
the greatest amount of species."

Frank Gill's reign as national Audubon's science director is ending after more than seven years, though he'll continue to serve as senior ornithologist. The popular and influential Gill has put Audubon back in the big leagues of ornithology, both in this country and abroad. Audubon recently caught up with him.
Question: What brought
you to birds in the first place?

Pleasant Valley will soon be an even nicer place to live than its name would suggest. In June it became the first town in New York to acquire all its electricity from wind turbines, thus joining an increasing number of businesses, colleges, and townships nationwide that are switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. "We want to do our part to make the air cleaner and help the environment," says John McNair, the Republican town supervisor.
It's no small part. The electricity Pleasant Valley purchases from a wind farm outside Syracuse creates zero pollution. That means the juice powering the town's lights, office buildings, and ball fields will no longer be responsible for emitting the annual equivalent of 356,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, a main global warming gas.
Improved technology and rising demand have cut the price of wind power. (Acknowledging a growing controversy over potential harm to birds, Audubon New York just passed a resolution supporting "wind power as a clean, renewable source with few environmental impacts" but called for surveys in "high-risk areas" to mitigate mortality.) In Pleasant Valley, 90 miles north of New York City, the change will cost the town's 10,000 residents less than an extra $2 per year, per household, says McNair, who signed the agreement with Community Energy, a company that represents wind farms across the Northeast. So far 23 New York municipalitiesalong with dozens of universities, businesses, and government institutionshave signed on to buy the company's wind power.
It helps that George Pataki, New York's environmentally minded Republican governor, has pledged that by 2013 the state will get a quarter of its power from wind, solar, and other renewable resources. Health concerns are a key factor for wind converts. A new study from Abt Associates, a consulting firm, found that air pollution from power plants causes the premature deaths of 23,600 Americans each year, mostly from respiratory and cardiac ailments. The analysis also reported that hundreds of thousands more suffer from asthma attacks, heart problems, and respiratory diseases as a result of soot from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
"People don't really know where their energy comes from, or what the impacts are," says McNair, urging other towns to follow Pleasant Valley's lead. "I feel like the more people who get involved, all of us will breathe cleaner air, and live a little longer."

Ornithology lost a pioneer and a legend in May with the passing of Alexander F. Skutch at his farm in the Costa Rican rainforest, a week short of his 100th birthday. A native of Baltimore, Skutch went to the tropics in the 1920s as a botanist to study the banana for the United Fruit Company. He soon fell in love with the astonishing birds, and studied them for the next 75 years. As a vegetarian and teetotaler, he needed little to live on. Skutch (right, with his wife, Pamela) rode through Central America on a horse, eventually making known in scientific papers and books the life histories of hundreds of neotropical birds. In 1941 he bought a farm, Los Cusingos, in southern Costa Rica, where he researched and wrote about birdsincluding several Audubon articles in the 1940sfor the rest of his life.
He was the first ornithologist to point out the phenomenon of "helpers at nests"usually relatives of parent birds that help with rearing their young. Skutch, who was also a student of philosophy and religions, ventured that human life is not purposeless. Rather, the moments of intense pleasure we experience in our encounters with nature may well justify our existence. In his life, and in the delightful Edwardian prose of more than two dozen books, Alexander Skutch taught several generations of naturalists how to care about the natural world.

Paper or Plastic?

After Brett Walker found one of his radio-collared greater sage grouses in the Wyoming plains, he realized immediately something was wrong. "Her head was tipped over, and her wings were drooping," says Walker, a biologist at the University of Montana in Missoula. Fifteen minutes later the grouse was dead. Within a matter of days, 7 out of 11 radio-collared birds were found facedown in the dirt. Lab results later revealed they all died of the same cause: West Nile virus. The deaths were part of a wave of West Nile casualties that ravaged the West in 2003, killing 182 birds in Wyoming and more than a thousand throughout the Rocky Mountain states. (Some experts say the toll could be thousands of times higher.)
At first biologists were puzzled, because there aren't many mosquitoes (the carrier of West Nile) on the sere plains, at least not enough to explain the large number of sage grouse (above) and other birds being killed. Streams and ponds dry up in summer, and most water comes from wells, so there are few places for the insects to breed. Additionally, the interior West has been in a severe drought for the past six years.
Then Walker and other researchers considered that coal-bed methane drilling was booming across the parched Wyoming landscape. Like a sponge, underground coal beds hold a mixture of water and methane gas. Energy companies pump out the water, extract the gas, and leave huge amounts of water behind on the surface. As a result the treeless plains are now dotted with thousands of shimmering ponds the size of swimming pools. "Our hypothesis is that mosquitoes are being produced in the coal-bed methane developments," says Greg Johnson, an entomologist at Montana State University in Bozeman, who is studying the spread of mosquitoes in the region.
If this proves true, the problem is likely to worsen: 19,000 coal-bed methane wells have already been drilled in Wyoming, and 32,000 more are in the planning stages. Though the evidence is still inconclusivea study last year found no link between West Nile infections and coal-bed methane developmentsome aren't taking any chances. In June Wyoming's governor, Democrat David Freudenthal, called for a one-year moratorium on any new coal-bed methane drilling near sage grouse habitat. Moreover, because invasive species and development have significantly eroded the sage grouse's ecological territory, environmentalists are now lobbying for the bird to be listed as a federally protected endangered species.

José Julián Acosta
José Julián Acosta Calbo (February 16, 1825 – August 26, 1891), born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was a distinguished journalist and a fervent advocate of the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico. Acosta was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. There he received his primary education. He was one of Rafael Cordero's most notable students. Cordero was an inspiration to Acosta and the influence of his teachings remained with Acosta for the rest of his life. Later, he became a protégé of Father Rufo Manuel Fernández, who would send him to Madrid, Spain to study Physics and Mathematics. After he graduated in 1851, Acosta continued to expand his educational knowledge in Paris, London, and Berlin. In Berlin, he was a student of the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. When Acosta returned to Puerto Rico, he took a job as a professor of Botany and Maritime Sciences and became the director of the Civil Institute of Secondary Education.

Left at home with a few days off and nothing to do, I am bound to rearrange some furniture and make at least 12 trips to Homegoods. This post is the result of a few hours of that time off :)
Here is our hearth room before… or at least the most recent pic/post I had. It's gone through some changes since, but I never 100% loved this room. There were a lot of individual elements I loved, but as a whole, it wasn't gelling for me. The before -
And after the refresh -
I added a Moroccan-esque drum table, changed out the rug, and also changed out the mantle accessories. I swapped out our old TV stand for a bar cabinet that we had elsewhere in the house.
I still might want to put a few more things on the mantle to zhush it up a bit. Topiaries from TJ Maxx.
The table – also a TJ Maxx find.
A bit more detail on the rug. Before, we had a supersoft, thick white rug. Two dogs have been less than friendly to said rug. This one should be a bit better for the wear.

When I see thousand of likes on a particular business Facebook fan page , I was thinking what I do to increase my Facebook page likes, last month I was starting work on that page and finally I get good results using these methods. I am sharing with you some tips how you can improve your Facebook fan page likes :-
- Update New Status On A Daily Basis : - Whenever you use Facebook 1 or 2 or 3 times in a day try to update some informational status on your page related to your page suppose if your page is related to technology then update status related to technology
- Share Images : – Share some informational images which are related to your page lets assume that your fb page is related to mobile phones then share new mobile phone images on it, try to create images which contains some features about that mobile like screen size, processor, internal memory, software version(Android, or windows). Then the user will definitely like user page and that image.
- Share Useful Links : – I know it's not possible to provide all information through your website , so the best way to hold your page users, share some useful links on your fan page so that user will like or subscribe your page for future latest news.
- Create Groups : – Create Groups and add maximum users to that group and share useful tips on that group.
- Increase Your Network: - To Increase the number of likes it is important to increase the number of friends in your profile so that maximum users will like your page.
- Offline Marketing : – Online marketing is just not enough to increase likes or to promote your brand , you have to promote your page through offline marketing suppose you are lens supplier then print your fan page url on your packaging material and write an attractive slogan on it like" if you like our product like us on our Facebook fan page " so that you can increase your page likes easily.
Overall the point , is provide the best information and products to your customers and users so that you can easily promote your brand with any hard work.

I want to work on my Nova again
Mar 24, 2013 | Views: 122
Filed under: 1971 Chevrolet Nova (Dream Car)
I'm going to try to work on it often, even if it is sporatic. I still have a lot of work to do on the house yet. I'll be doing that and trying to work on my Nova, too. I also want to wire in some new outlets in the garage and wire in the flourescent overhead lights and switches. I want to have outside outlets before next winter so I won't have to run extension cords under the doors to plug in the block heaters in the trucks. Then there's still the panelling I had given to me that I want to put accross the bottom on the trusses to be a ceiling in the garage. Then I'm going to paint the ceiling and walls WHITE! That garage is such a cave! The dumbasses that had this place before painted the walls dark brown with two small overhead lights! I want lots of light! My eyes just ain't gettin' any better! Macular degeneration sucks! Dad was legally blind with it by 62. He wasn't diagnosed with it until he was in his 50's. I'm 46. So much to do and time seems to be running out. I'm going to be pushing my limits until I'm blind or dead! Whichever comes first!

So you see I have a lot of stuff done already and a lot of parts lined up!.
UPDATE: I'm going to start moving stuff in the garage (a.k.a. "the grudge") so I can at least LOOK at my Nova again. I'll have to put up shelves or something so I have places to put everything that's inside the car. I'll try to organize everything as I take it out and find a proper place for it. I may even make a list of the things and where they are so when I go looking for something I know I had, I know I have it and where it is. Wow! What a concept! Wish I would've thought of that 25 years ago when I started tearing down and getting stuff for it! I'll probably find the door panel clips for my Trans Am that I bought when I was putting it together 11 years ago that I couldn't find last month and bought more (and still haven't installed my new door panels!). I've got lots of stuff to inventory! I may have to build another shed just for my car parts because the grudge is full of garage sale stuff for a garage sale that was supposed to take place at least 2 years ago (before my cars were here and the garage was empty) Or maybe I could just take all the clothes to one of the donation bins and take the other usable stuff to the Salvation Army or Good Will. I could take my huge Broyhill dresser to a consignment store and my Grandma's old dresser to an antique shop. My old kitchen table is still taking up floor space and making more room to pile "garage sale" items. There's another table in there that was given to us to sell in the sale and some end tables my friend gave me. My one step-son brought home tires for his car (that he doesn't even have anymore) and they're stacked there.He also brought home some carpet remnants (rolls) for rooms we don't even have in the house.

I went to work today and told my boss (Brad) about my plans for my Nova and my blog-post to go with. I told him I was going to pile into my garage works when I got the time and warmer weather. He started work on his Studabaker pick-up again today, also. He said "WE are building hot-rods this summer" after I told him I'll do it when I could. He made it sound like he was offering shop space to me. If that's so, I know I'm going to get the Nova on the road this summer! I know he would bend over backwards to help me get it done, he's the best boss I ever worked for! He's also planning on getting his '56 Chevy in the shop to rebuild it, this summer too! I'll probably work a "labor for shop-space" trade out with him. If I do get it in the shop, or at least to the shop, I know it will get glass blasted and put together better than I was planning, but hey, I'm not going to pass up any chances! With Brad's help and his motivational drive, I'm going to get it done!

I rated this product low because my purchasing experience with Lighting Universe/ATG was horrible. When you attempt to make a return for damaged goods they take months and only refunded us finally when we handed the issue over to our credit card company as a dispute. Stay away from these guys!!

When you work from home, lunch time always comes around much sooner than you think. It may be due to my unstructured schedule, the fact that I'm a late riser, or both. In any event, I'm often scrambling to make something for lunch, especially when my husband reminds me that it's 1pm and neither one of us has showered or thought of lunch.
If there are leftovers of any kind, I'm extra inspired. Lunch is partly prepared. For example, a few pan-fried potatoes and a couple of barbecued ribs become the foundation for a hash and salad meal. Pan-fried tofu squares and a handful of boiled broccoli get cut up and dropped into a pot of instant noodle soup. There have been many ho-hum lunches but this cold soba noodle from a couple weeks ago was worth sharing with you. That's to say, I'd make it again!

Credit Card Hacks
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-23-2014 - 8:12am
Want to know how to become a credit card hacker? No, I'm not talking about becoming a member of Project Blitzkrieg and doing something illegal that could land you in the slammer.
What could keep you and your plastic free of unnecessary fees and charges, though, is by becoming a master of credit card hacks. In this case, a "hack" is a loophole — a sneaky strategy, if you will — in your credit card that allows you to get the most out of the rewards and savings they provide. From the grocery store, to paying off debt, to the grocery store again, earn cash back (the best part) with some of these money-savvy money hacks.
As some consumers have discovered, credit card processing fees can be evident when you make a purchase on your line of credit. The result of a recent lawsuit settlement between retailers, banks, and Visa and MasterCard, merchants are allowed to pass along such fees to their customers, according to Consumer World, which can be up to 4 percent.
There are ways to win the processing fee war and use credit card rewards to your advantage. Consider these for a few.

If Lowe's would concentrate on always being in stock when it comes to core basics, they would be in better shape. I am a department manager at an Upstate NY Lowe's and I have seen the mistakes that they have made. They decided,during the busiest season, to change all brass plumbing fittings to lead-free which is wonderful in theory. Just don't discontinue product and not replace it for months. Also the vanity lines that they discontinued and don't have a reset even scheduled yet. Plenty of product coming in but no where to put it. This is typical and sales are reflecting this haphazard approach. Home Depot is taking advantage because they pay attention to the basics.
Lowe's stumbles in second quarter
Mooresville, N.C.-based Lowe's posted declines in net sales, comp-store sales and earnings in the second quarter ended Aug. 3.
"Our results fell short of our overall expectations," said Robert Niblock, Lowe's chairman, president and CEO. "However, I have confidence in our strategy and in our employees, and while we recognize the significant magnitude of change that we've asked the organization to absorb as we transform our business, we fully understand that we must improve our level of execution."
The world's second largest home improvement retailer posted sales of $14.2 billion in the quarter, down 2.0% from $14.5 billion in the same quarter last year. Comp-store sales in the quarter were negative 0.4%.
Earnings of $747 million were down 10.0% from the same quarter a year ago.
The quarterly comparisons in 2012, which is a 52-week year, are impacted by a shift in comparable weeks, the company said. For the six-month period, comparable-store sales increased 1.0%
As of Aug. 3, 2012, Lowe's operated 1,748 stores in the United States, Canada and Mexico, representing 196.8 million sq. ft. of retail selling space.
That compares with rival Home Depot's store count of 2,255 stores. Last week, Home Depot reported gains in comps and sales and a double-digit percentage gain in net earnings.
If Lowe's would concentrate
There is a difference between
There is a difference between HD and Lowes. Retail is tough and someyhow, HD has the mojo to come back from chaos under Nardelli, and to get the focus back where it belongs. The market can certainly handle two strong competitors....where there are three, it might not be possibe. Now, the challenge is for Lowes to figure out what it needs to do to get the customers back in the stores.

Djokovic Beats Federer in Testy Meeting to Gain Australian Open Final
Down two sets to none, Mr. Nice Federer disappeared, and Hardcore Roger reared his head. Federer appeared to talk to Djokovic during the Serb's service preparation as Djokovic went into his extensive pre-service ball bouncing. Federer glared at Djokovic's player box and complained to the chair umpire about excessive cheering, talking and noise. After losing the second set, perhaps to get in the Serb's head, Federer took a rare bathroom break.

She's running — I felt some of my shots were winners but every time she got the ball back. It's tough for everyone to play against."

Is The Fed Stifling Recovery?
"Is The Fed Stifling Recovery?"
One thing I tell people who are looking for advice about blogging is that a post should make one point. If you have two points to make, write two posts. I'm about to violate that by pivoting to a point about monetary policy, but that's by way of saying that if you click on this link I'm about to offer to a post about Scott Sumner you'll see that it initially is on a totally different point. But I wanted to pull this idea out:
In February I said fiscal stimulus wouldn't work, as the Fed had some sort of nominal aggregate target in mind, and was going to simply offset the fiscal stimulus. And that is what happened. In March when things looked scary, like a Depression was possible, the Fed announced its big program of buying Treasuries and MBSs. Later in the year when things picked up a bit, and we were clearly going to avoid a depression, the Fed started furiously back-peddling. They started talking about ending the bond buying program and "exit strategies." Ask yourself this; what does that back and forth behavior tell you? It tells me the Fed has some sort of implicit nominal target, and if the economy seems to fall short they'll pull out all the stops and flood the economy with liquidity. That's why the $800 billion dollar fiscal stimulus was a complete waste of money; the Fed wasn't going to allow NGDP to fall much further than the actual 2.5% it fell. Shame on us for not figuring that out, and shame on the Fed for not explaining that to us.
I think maybe you need an academic's confidence in his own theories to accept this as a reason to have avoided stimulus back in early 2009. As either a blogger or a policymaker, I'm more comfortable with the idea of joint fiscal and monetary measures to fight a downturn. But the most important point here is that fiscal policy can't swim against the monetary tide. If the FOMC doesn't want aggressive stimulus to aggregate demand to fight unemployment, then it just doesn't happen. Voters hold elected officials responsible for macroeconomic performance, but this is mainly determined by the Fed. And the Fed has given every indication since autumn 2009 or so that it's very comfortable with a slow recovery.
Note that the labor market revival after the 1982 recession was much more robust than what the Obama administration is forecasting:
A big part of the difference, I take it, is that all during this period in the Reagan years the Fed was pretty aggressive about loosening monetary policy. Paul Volcker decided that he'd succeeded in breaking the back of inflation and it was time to get people back to work. By contrast, today's FOMC seems to have the mentality that they've broken the back of the recession and it's time to start worrying about the possibility of inflation. The Obama administration's not blameless in this—they reappointed Bernanke and whipped for his reconfirmation—but now that they've done their part, it some ways the forward-looking situation is out of their hands.
