First, let me applogize as I'm sure this must have been addressed on here already. I have searched to no avail.
Replacing all windows in the living room. Presently they are mismatched sizes, some going within a couple inches of the floor, others more of a standard 3 ft height. None of them show off my amazing views. We plan to do 2 full walls of panoramic windows (with breaks for structural support, electrical, ect). I'm thinking of the window sill height being 29" from the floor. Much heigher than that and the view won't be seen while sitting at the dining table or couchs. My question is will this height look strange when placing furniture up against it? What is the lowest sill height that won't look strange with a couch or chair in front of it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
In my experience the biggest thing is uniformity. Two things to remember is the codes a window closer than 18 inches to the floor must be tempered, and an window that is closer than 24 inches to the floor and more than 6 inches off the ground level on the outside is supposed to have restrictive opening hardware to prevent children falling out the window. I have run into several codes officers who then have moved the 18 inch height to as high as the 24 inch height for the tempered glass. So what you are describing here meets those requirements Another thing to consider for safety reasons is as to how close the chairs will be to the windows, especially the dining room furniture. If they are close enough to the windows where they may accidentally fall against the window when being moved, for safety reasons you may want to consider those being tempered. |

The Caribbean is the most popular cruise destination in the world, offering white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, great shopping and an exciting mix of cultures. If you are looking for a year-round cruise getaway, look no further than Caribbean cruises. Take your pick from four main Caribbean cruise destinations encompassing East, West, South and extended Caribbean cruise holidays, which normally combines both East and West Caribbean itineraries.
There are four main Caribbean cruise destinations:
Eastern Caribbean - This area comprises the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and St Maarten, however these cruises also often include the Bahamas. Cruises are generally for 7 nights with 3 days at sea and 3 in ports and so offering a very relaxing style of cruise. The Islands here are smaller and shore excursions here are more geared to beach and water activities.
Western Caribbean - This cruise area includes the Mexican and Central American ports on the Gulf of Mexico as well the islands of Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Hispaniola. These cruises offer more history and culture along with the beach and water activities. Western Caribbean cruises include short 4 night escapes with the longer 7 night cruises.
Southern Caribbean - This area includes the islands east and south of St Maarten. The region is less well known and well cruised as the East and West Caribbean but includes a set of islands that still have a very evident colonial heritage. The Fench Dutch and English all played their part in forming the different characters of these islands which include Trinidad, St Croix, St Vincent, St Kitts Aruba, Grenada and more
Extended Caribbean - These cruises are generally 14 nights long and are usually a mix of East and West Caribbean itineraries offering a wider variety of Islands and cultures. Often Cruise lines will offer special deals that combine two 7 night cruises to form an Extended cruise.
Check out our latest Caribbean cruises deals, or contact a cruising specialist for more details.
Cruises operate in the Caribbean all year round. However many ships cruise here in the northern winter and then cross the Atlantic to cruise in Europe during the northern summer.
Most cruises depart from American cities including Miami, Ft Lauderdale, New Orleans, Galvaston and more. San Juan in Puerto Rico is also a major departure port.
The Caribbean really is a year-round destination. Temperatures seldom vary from highs in the 80s (lows in the 70s), with humidity hovering at the 70 percent level just about all year. The hurricane season, which officially lasts from June 1st to November 30th, can occasionally disrupt cruise itineraries.
Popular cruise lines such as Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises frequent the Caribbean which is also home to the largest cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas.
Cruiseabout offers great deals on Caribbean cruises, so why not enquire today?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is GIZMO!
Facts about GIZMO
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
GIZMO's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Gizmo was found in a box in the woods with his 2 siblings when he was approx. 3 weeks old. Fortunately, we were able to locate and reunite him with his mother. He is very sweet and loveable. He loves to play with the other foster cats but, he would prefer the affection from his human companion. His two siblings were adopted and now he just patiently waiting for his new family to come take him home.
Other Pets at Focus on Ferals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
GIZMO, a Brainardsville Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brainardsville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Brainardsville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brainardsville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brainardsville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brainardsville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Most people have their hands full when they have a baby.
So what's it like to care for six newborns at the same time?
The mother of sextuplets showed Judd Davis.
This was Heather Carroll back in may. She was about 4-months pregnant.
"The way she started the ultrasound she said I see multiples, she said I see two, and then she said OK here's three and then she covered her mouth and said there's four and then she's like oh no there's five."
It got up to six. The Carroll sextuplets were on the way. And now at 5-months old we get to meet them all.
"This is Abby, this is our biggest little girl, Abby's our biggest eater, we call her our chunky monkey, Brooke is the one that's got the most beautiful smile, when you see her."
"This is Miss Ellie."
"Ellie was our one pound, eight ounce little girl. She's going to be our talker. And over here in the bouncer we have David, and he's just very content."
"I know what you're saying."
"And Chloe is our drama queen, she cries over everything, Faith is our smaller one, one pound five ounce, and she is the one I think is going to be into everything."
The Carroll sextuplets, they keep mom running.
"I feel like I feed all day long. We make about 2 gallons of formula every day."
And there's sometimes a waiting list at the changing table - they go through some serious diapers.
"About 50 probably each day."
Sure it's a lot of work, but the Carrolls have a lot help; somebody comes by every day. The biggest challenge for the guests, making sure they remember who's who.
"My husband's aunt decided to paint each one of their fingernails to decide who was who."
But if you're looking for drama and chaos, so far heather hasn't seen it.
"People come by and they're expecting it to be like Jon and Kate, just constant screaming, running around chaos, and it's nothing like that."
She doesn't have much free time, but heather wouldn't have it any other way.
"Seeing them smile and giggle at the same time it just makes it all worth everything we went through."
The Carroll six pack.. From left to right... Abbie.. Brooklyn... Chloe... David... Ellie... And faith.
The sextuplets have an brother named Grant.
He's two years old.
The Carrolls did in vitro fertilization.
They say they're not planning on having any more kids after this.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Freezing human organs for later transplantation closer to reality
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 6th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The transplantation of human organs always carries a high amount of risk. Available organs from donors must be quickly identified, and technicians must race the organs to patients at hospitals many miles away. Time is of the essence. The ability to freeze human organs would be a godsend, but is currently not feasible. Now - researchers are bringing this process closer to fruition. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Researchers from Villanova University have now discovered how ice crystals invade and damage biological material during the freezing process. Once this obstacle is surmounted, freezing complex human tissues such as donor organs could be a very real option for physicians.Called "cryopreservation," the procedure involves cooling human tissues to sub-zero temperatures. While this frozen state effectively blocks chemical reactions from happening and lets them remain viable for medical use later on. "If you can cryopreserve tissue or even organs, then you have a way of storing them and of transporting them," senior author Dr. Jens Karlsson, of the department of mechanical engineering at Villanova University says. "Now if you want to do a (lung) transplantation, you're rushing the harvest organ from one hospital to another by helicopter, and you only have a few hours to do it. But if you're able to preserve the tissue, then you have as much time as you want and you can really find the best match for the tissue and transport it over much longer distances." Cryopreservation is currently a risky process, only reserved for the conservation of smaller groups of tissues or individual cells, such as embryos and stem cells. Freezing larger biological tissues is far more cumbersome, as these materials often contain large amounts of water, which form ice crystals when frozen. This causes significant damage to the cells and tissue. In order to find out how ice interacts with cells as they freeze, Karlsson and his team utilized a video cryomicroscrope. The process allowed them to observe the freezing process using high-speed imaging. "We could record what happens and play it back in slow motion and really see in great detail what the interactions are between the ice, and cells in the tissue," Karlsson said. The team then monitored the freezing events of genetically modified cells, some of which contained certain junction proteins and some of which did not. These junction proteins either suppressed or encouraged the formation of the cells' gap junctions and tight junctions- channels that connect adjacent cells together. Gap junctions. On the other hand directly connected the cytoplasm of two cells, while tight junctions provide an even closer connection by firmly stitching together the cells' plasma membranes. The researchers found that when the gap junctions were suppressed in the cells, the ice still spread freely throughout the tissue. Extremely snug tight junctions played a significant role in allowing the ice to infiltrate the cells. A birth foretold: click here to learn more!

Re:QNX? (372 comments)
It's only the core of IOS-XR, and in fact will be gone in the next release (which will share a Linux core with NX-OS and IOS-XE)
Re: Help us Google Fiber! You're our only hope. (568 comments)
More like 16Tb per fibre pair in each direction, most of the major commercial vendors (ALU, Infinera, Ciena, etc.) have 4+ Tb systems out.
And long-haul fibres are usually getting towards 372 fibre, even metro rarely goes less than 72 fibre.
Only submarine systems run much lower than that, with a usual limit of 8 or 16 fibres due to the requirements led by inline amplification.
Re:Actually the majority have not (192 comments)
IOS-XR is migrating to Linux in the next major release, NX-OS (the OS for their Nexus DC kit) is built on Linux, and IOS-XE which powers most of the smaller side of new Cisco kit is also Linux.
As for Juniper they also have many products running on Linux.
Re:The problem is (78 comments)
Er, No.
The "big boys" are the IP networks, and have been for years, in practice there's two major vendors (Cisco & Juniper) and a bunch of also-rans that can play somewhat (ALU and Brocade [Foundry]).
ALU kit can run core & transmission, but it's not the top tier kit.
The "big boys" are also migrating wholesale to 100g links as their multi-terabit backbones get painful to manage with trunked 10g links.

MySQL still has nothing built in for that purpose
MySQL has had inbuilt multi-master clustering since before PostgreSQL even had master/slave built in.
Re:Helps but not a complete solution. (953 comments)
That's utterly false.
It's the stateful firewall that's doing that, which is a pre-requisite for some common forms of NAT.
Most, if not all, IPv6 supporting consumer routers by default have a firewall configured on IPv6 with essentially identical semantics to that for v4, allow all out, allow nothing in.
Re:My answer (525 comments)
Odd, pretty sure that's happened to me and they simply pulled it out when stapling in the new one

"bonded/trunked NICs"
Why does that matter? The only justification for bonding with 10g these days is "redundancy" and I've seen many more outages (at a variety of sites) from people failing at bonding than I have from switch failure.
If a machine is that critical the service it runs shouldn't live on a single machine.
Even at my last job where we had a design based on multiple SPOFs we lost machines to PSU or drive/RAID failure several times, but never network, except for the one site that did "redundant" NICs.
Re:Every host a peer, and chicken in every pot (214 comments)
How is it a bad thing?
You firewall it just the same, so the only change in traffic flow is the lack of NAT, and NAT is not security despite what some people will try and claim.
Switches (140 comments)
Pretty most software devices I've seen have either been a rebadged Dell or Supermicro, with the top end running custom cases, and the low end doing whitebox.
In terms of "real" networking kit though, there is a bunch of switches that run linux:
Arista (everything)
Extreme (everything running XOS, which is all current models)
Cisco (everything running IOS XE, the only switch being the 4500-X)
All Juniper devices that run JunOS are FreeBSD, this includes both the EX and QFX switch lines, as well as their SRX firewalls.
Also most of the openflow-aimed switches run Linux, eg http://www.pica8.com/
Re:Busy databases (464 comments)
RAID-DP (usually) is NetApp's name for what's essentially a RAID6.
RAID5/6 work fine for databases, just like RAID10 you have to size it correctly accounting for your read/write load.
Really any form of RAID (if you need the size) with as much RAM and SSD caching is the way to go these days.
Debian notes (188 comments)
I was playing with one last weekend (someone at my office somehow got *two* the lucky guy) and wrote a buch of notes about the default Debian image.
Re:Lots more than just CPU and transfer resistors. (301 comments)
Or just use colored optics and a passive mux.
Unless you're going hundreds of miles (at which point FC has probably broken anyway due to latency expectations) you don't need active DWDM kit, passive muxes are a much better solution, and far cheaper.
Re:IP Insanity (284 comments)
Ethernet most certainly is a broadcast technology, and it and IP have supported multicast for many years (IP multicast across several networks is very common on research networks).
As for bandwidth, assuming 20Mbit streams (fairly standard BluRay, broadcast in some parts of the world approaches it as well) you can fit 500 channels on 10G. In practice as you only have to send out what at least one client has requested you can have more channels then can be streamed, cable companies do this already with Switched Digital Video.
Re:Doesn't violate network neutrality? (284 comments)
That's almost entirely false. (ISP network engineer in Australia here)
The major cable leaving Australia for the last decade has been Southern Cross (there's more now) and the Australian government have no significant interest in it (the NZ government on the other hand does by way of cable system part owner Telecom NZ).
iTunes downloads (at least some of them) are cached by Akamai, and traditionally most medium to large ISPs hosted Akamai caches inside their network (at $JOB[-1] Akamai was ~30% and Google was ~15% of all bandwidth used for a regional education network).
It truly isn't any different for any other CDN, some host inside Australia and peer with local networks (IIRC Limelite do this), some only host in Asia (eg Amazon), and some (eg Steam) install machines inside ISPs for their customers.
Here's to the "written in journal" one...

Mother and Son Killed in Fire
POSTED: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 - 11:49am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 11:00pm
84 Year old Margaret Scott and her 69 year old son Joseph died in an overnight fire in Grosse Tete.
It happened just before 3:30 at their home on Gardner Lane.
The State Fire Marshall says though firefighers were able to put the fire out quickly - they weren't able to rescue the Scott's in time.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
There was a smoke detector in the house, but there were no batteries in it.

This game was a battle between two teams with potent offenses and highly questionable defenses. As is often the case under this scenario, the game came down to special teams and who had the ball last to determine the winner. Fortunately for Cheeseheads, the Packers have the better special teams and Ryan Longwell delivered the decisive measure with a game-winning field goal as time expired.
Brett Favre and Ahman Green both played outstanding games as did the offensive line. Green was able to run at the Vikings' porous defense and Favre had a heyday throwing four touchdown passes. The Packer defense was another story. The secondary was scalded time and time again by the Vikes' passing assault, a theme which is getting altogether too familiar. The Packer youngsters in the defensive secondary are still on the steep slope of the learning curve and, for whatever reason, the linebacking corps seems to have taken a step backwards this year.
The Packer defensive line showed some signs of life as KGB and a couple others occasionally generated some heat on the Viking QB. Shifting KGB to the opposite side where he manhandled a rookie tackle seemed to be a good move. The Pack should move KGB around more often. Another bright spot came in the 2nd quarter when the Vikes were driving for a TD. On third-and-one from the Packers' one yard line, Grady Jackson absolutely stuffed the hole where a running play was designed to go, forcing the back to cut outside where he was easily tacked for a loss. Because of that play the Vikings had to settle for a field goal rather than a touchdown, which turned out to be the difference in the game.
There was one other memorable play which came after the Vikings had come back to tie the score at 31 all. On the ensuing kickoff and with less than two minutes left, Robert Ferguson made a nice kick return for almost 40 yards. As he was tackled though, he coughed up the ball. Third string tight end Ben Steele, whom the Packers had picked up earlier this year after he was cut by the Vikes, came up with the loose football. It was previously unheralded Ben Steele who allowed Longwell the opportunity for the game winning field goal. What a great story for Ben Steele to tell his grandkids someday.
Next week the Pack travels to Houston to play the Texans. This is clearly a game that the Packers should win, but so were several other games that went sour earlier in the year. The Packers need to be on their guard to avoid a let-down. They have already won their share of "good fortune" games this year and now need to solve their defensive problems. The Texans offer them that opportunity.

Mazda CX-9 throttle problems in mountains
After researching the CX-9 thoroughly, I bought a new 2007 4 days ago. I live in the mountains of North Carolina. Driving up, the not so steep, mountain, the throttle completely shut down leaving no power. The problem continued and the service manager and Mazda technician kindly came out to see if it was true. The same problem existed. They also brought 2008 CX-9 with them and the same problem existed when that vehicle was driven up the mountain. I have been driving this mountain for 20 years with all types of vehicles, including cheap cars and never had a problem. I AM BESIDE MYSELF. ANY IDEAS?
nxs138 Posts: 481First time I hear of this. Many reviewers have tested the CX-9 in the mountains without any issues.
How high were these mountains? I wonder it something was off with fuel/air ratio due to altitude. Almost sounds like vapor lock (gas turns to vapor at lower temps than normal), but it's not that common in fuel injected cars, unless you're using gas that has ethanol in it (ethanol is more volatile than gas, I believe).
Try using non-ethanol gas if you were using a methanol mix (and see if the dealer was using methanol gas too). Otherwise, sounds like fuel pump issues, but that sounds unlikely since the 2008 CX-9 had the same issue. Maybe the dealer improperly prepped the 2 cars?...(there's fluids to be topped off when they arrive from the port). -
stevea4 Posts: 3Thank nxs 138. We are only talking about climbing from 2,500 feet to 3,500 feet. My 2005 Dodge Caravan (4 cylinder) does it all the time. We are using regular unleaded gas. Not only does it happen with my 2007 CX-9, but they also tested the 2008 model with the same results. I am told the transmission gets too hot, causing in the throtte shutting down and you lose power. The only way it will climb is in low gear in 1 (the lowest gear), which is ridiculus. If you try to climb in ANY other gear, it just shuts down. I will ask about fluids being topped off, but they say everything was done right.
nxs138 Posts: 481Well the only issue I can think of is the type of transmission fluid that might have been used (from another forum that I read, see below). Good luck resolving your issue.
The Aisin/Warner 6-speed transmission uses a different (JWS3309-compatible fluid) compared to "regular" ATX fluid. A single half a cup of the WRONG fluid will completely destroy the transmission by causing the clutch packs to lock up, requiring a complete rebuild/replacement of the transmission to restore functionality.
CX-9's come with a half a quart low for ATF (and engine oil) which gets topped off upon delivery. -
nxs138 Posts: 481nxs138--can you give the source of your information(or a link) about the Aisin transmission fluid? Thanks!
Click here for forum discussion -- it's the first reply to the original message. -

ceric Posts: 1,093Thamks to Karthikcx9. I did a quick type-up. Please forgive the typos..
Your dealer can find the whole bulletin from their computer.
DTC: diagnostic test code
ATX: automatic transmission
TCM: temperature control module
ATF: automatic transmission fluid
Bulletin No. 05-008/08
Issued: 05/23/2008
2007-2008 CX9 with VINs lower than JM3 TB**** ** 159178 (produced before May 1, 2008)
Some customer may complain that the vehicle power is reduced suddenly when climbing a steep hill. After a couple of minutes of idling, the symptom disappears. No DTC is stored.
The TCM limits the torque at lower load than required to protect the ATX causing the reduction in power. As a mass-production change the TCM programming has been modified and DTC P1783 has been established for the torque limitation at high ATF temperature.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
Repair Procedure:
..... -
stevea4 Posts: 3I am glad to hear that they fixed the problem on vehicles ater 5/1/08. They bought my CX-9 back prior to that because it would not negotiate the road I drive to get to my home. Yes it only quits for a few minutes then you can restart it, but in that few minutes in snow or bad weather, it is dangerous.

Samsung's virtual reality headset was planned to work with the Galaxy S4, but the story goes back to 2005.
A team at NASA is proposing that sending astronauts to Venus' upper atmosphere may be more efficient (and somewhat safer) than sending them to Mars. Did we mention airships and cloud cities were mentioned in this proposal? It's science fiction that could someday become science fact.
On today's show, we tell you how one man is making history with dual bionic arms, why a team at NASA thinks we should look into sending astronauts to Venus instead of Mars, and when you might be able to purchase animated statues of your favorite characters.

The Other Half: The Life
Of Jacob Riis and the World
Of Immigrant America
By Tom Buk-Swienty
Translated from the Danish
by Annette Buk-Swienty
W. W. Norton
448 pages, $27.95
When contemporary journalists honor their professional ancestors, the accolades are frequently based on secondhand knowledge. Too often, we have never actually read the words or studied the images from long ago. I am less guilty than many of my colleagues, but only because of circumstance. Dubbed an "investigative reporter" early in my career, I often paid careless homage to Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Ray Stannard Baker, Jacob Riis, and the other so-called muckrakers. For many years, my acquaintance with them derived from brief passages in history books instead of any actual immersion in their work.
What made me an honest admirer of the muckrakers was my appointment in 1983 as executive director of Investigative Reporters and Editors, a membership organization of about five thousand journalists. In my new role as spokesman for investigative journalism, I figured maybe I should know what I was talking about. I began with The History of the Standard Oil Company (1904), Tarbell's eight-hundred-plus-page exposé of the world's most powerful corporation and its chief executive, John D. Rockefeller. Next, I moved on to Jacob Riis's classic How the Other Half Lives: Studies of the Tenements of New York (1890).
Tarbell's book so impressed me that I went on to research her entire life. The result, Taking on the Trust: The Epic Battle of Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller, was published earlier this year. With the approaching centennial of Riis's death in 2014, I was tempted to dig deeply into his life as well. But before I could, the Danish journalist Tom Buk-Swienty took care of it. And his biography is superb—not only as an instructive tale for today's journalists, but as a remarkable immigrant saga for readers from all vocations.
An impoverished Dane, the twenty-one-year-old Riis had no intention of becoming a journalist when he arrived in the United States in 1870. He left primarily because of a broken heart, after courting a teenage girl who could barely tolerate his attentions. Assuming its streets were paved with gold, Riis never considered the possibility that he would find it difficult to earn a living in the United States. After all, his fellow Danes were emigrating there by the thousands. By 1920, about a quarter of Denmark's two million inhabitants would make the journey.
The challenge of earning a living wage during his first three years in America led Riis to near starvation and severe depression. His dire circumstances soon acquainted him with the very slums he would eventually immortalize, expose, and help to reform. As the winter of 1870 arrived, Riis had become a tramp in lower Manhattan. "Fifteen thousand tenements stretched from lower Manhattan to Fifty-ninth Street," writes Buk-Swienty,
with the infamous Hell's Kitchen commanding some two dozen blocks, from Thirty-fourth Street upward. About half a million people and their numerous animals lived in the slums. As the temperatures dropped, Riis's situation became increasingly desperate. He got soaked by rain, and freezing winds cut through his thin clothes . . . . Most evenings he waited for food at the back door of Delmonico's, an exclusive restaurant at the corner of Chambers Street and Broadway. The French cook often gave him leftover bones and bread . . . . After his meager meal, he began the fight with other tramps for a place to spend the night, sometimes ending up on the doorstep of Barnum's Clothing Store.
He considered suicide, fought with beat cops, and was eventually removed on a ferry to New Jersey. His tramping took him to numerous states. No job lasted long enough or paid an adequate salary for Riis to live comfortably until 1872, when he took a job as a traveling iron salesman. In mid-1873, back in New York City, Riis applied for an opening at the Long Island City Review. He had never considered working in journalism, but luckily, he was the only applicant. Soon he was writing and editing neighborhood news items for the paper—and launching, with almost no premeditation, a distinguished career.
Meanwhile, he was still distracted by his unrequited love for Elisabeth Giørtz, the teenager he had attempted to woo back in Denmark. In 1874, he learned that her fiancé had died, and in a turn of events straight out of a Harlequin romance, Elisabeth agreed to marry Riis and move to the United States. The wedding was on March 5, 1876. The couple lived happily ever after, more or less, until her death at age fifty-two in 1905.

Talking up 'Foodies for Fido'
Georgia Heartland Humane Society Director Jane Reed (L) takes a minute with Pedal for Pets organizer Wendy Maguire at the "Foodies for Fido" fundraiser held April 18 at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center. Hosted by the Business Women of Fayette and Coweta County, the event was attended by more than 100 people and raised more than $10,000. Photo/Ben Nelms.

Great Program
but some misinformation-Jane Reed is not affiliated with Georgia Heartland Humane Society and the group was not associated with this fundraiser and didn't receive any of the $10,000 raised.

I hope next year they let Fayette County Humane Society in on this. They sure do a lot for the community.

Yes I would donate an o***n to save another person's life. What greater gift could you give to someone than the gift of life. No it is not wrong to ask someone to donate their o***n after death. If I had to choose between a friend or family member I would want to know who had the more urgent need and also who was more compatable. Then I would make that decision based on those two factors. It would not be an easy decision but decisions concerning life and death never are. I know it is easy to say I would and quite another to actually do it. We never know how much courage we have until we are tested. I hope that I would have that courage to do something so wonderful. |

I give blood regularly and have donated bone marrow samples, too. I would also donate an o***n. Although, as Angelic points out, it is one thing to say and quite another to actually go through with it. I would like to think that the experiences i have had donating already, would hold me in stead when it came to something bigger. I also carry a donor card that states any part of me can be used to help someone else in the event of my death. More importantly, my next of kin know my wishes in this respect so any confusion that might occur in the event of my demise and subsequent chopping up is already settled. And why am i happy to do this? It's not because of altruism or humanity, i just know that if i ever needed treatment i'd want the spares to be available ASAP. So break me down and put me on the shelf Hmm... Hope i didn't sound too glib, there! |

During my life time it is really difficult for me to give my any o***n but after my death if some body wants it than can take because some organs like 1-eyes etc can be used in other human 's which are taken from a dead between 2 hours and by giving my o***n during my life really difficult for me but after life! |

Well this ties in nicely to this years science coursework. We had to answer questions all about transplantation; xenotransplantation; the good & bad etc. So having looked at this in depth; I think that if someone was needy for a donor; i would donate. I'll put a scenario to you, and see what you think. You may just think it's a complete stranger who needs a donor. But think about it; that person may be a parent; a husband or wife; a brother or sister; a best friend; a family member; a hero, whatever. Are you going to break many peoples hearts because of a stubborn way in which you say NO to it? I think not. That may be your parents; your partner; your brother or sister; your best friend; your family members or your hero that needs it. You will then wish for someone to donate it for them. |

Would you ever donate an o***n in order to save other person's life? -> Yes definitely. I'd donate my organs after my death. If I can save somebody else, it's a great opportunity for me to do so. So would you -> Yes. There are lots of people out there who are sick and need a new o***n But there are less each year and people have to find there match. Is it wrong to ask someone to ask them to donate their o***n after they die -> No, it's not wrong. But, on the funnier side, it's like expecting them to die soon, whaadya think? sorry for the joke And if it was between a friend and family member who would u choose ->Family member would always top my list. |

Now a question. How do I keep the autograph from fading away? It's already starting to disappear.
1/2 Canadian, like Dalamon. Can I get a face swap?
I thought this thread was "All Things Cardigan"

PKM, are you going to do this for every territory of the U.S.?
The references to dal in this thread are mildly offensive. Dude is from Alberta, not Canada.

The New York Times Bats blog digs up a very interesting tidbit from the newest Collective Bargaining Agreement. While it isn't as sexy as drug testing or Dominican teenager jobbing, it is an odd thing to write into a legal document.
It turns out that players must now give their clubs eight months notice if they plan to change uniforms unless they want to buy all the leftover stock featuring their name and former number. Weird!
The provision excludes players who are traded and technically stipulates only "in-season changes" but the eight month lead time means players must alert teams by July 31st if they plan to change their jersey number for the following season.
One would assume poor Edwin Encarnacion here might be exempt, seeing he really only changed his jersey once. The Jays retired number 12 on him so he moved into the number 10 vacated by the departed Vernon Wells. One would also assume that at no point in the last three seasons has there been a great run on EE jerseys. Whatever stock he's buying out of the team shop is pretty minimal.
What about guys like Lyle Overbay, who take a number when they join a team, then adopt a new number after selling off their traditional jersey to an incoming veteran teammate, then run back to it like a it's the girl who took their virginity when she's home for Thanksgiving? Add it into the price of the number, I guess. Make it two Rolexes and a MacBook Pro.
Good on the owners to strike another blow for the little guy. This exemplary group of philanthropists always keep the fans best interests in mind. For that, we salute them.

Sometimes nothing beats cracking open an ice-cold cola. But too often that means tapping a can or bottle full of artificial flavors and cloying sweetness. Which is why we were very excited to taste today's Drink of the Week—Q Kola. The latest release from the beverage company behind the ever-popular Q Tonic water, this kola sticks with the company ethos of using all-natural ingredients and flavors. Chockfull of spices like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, real kola nut and just a hint of organic agave, this snappy kola hits the spot with bright, crisp flavors and a dynamic, dry finish. "I wanted something to drink with my lunch that was cleaner with a better balance of spice, tang, savory and sweet," says company founder Jordan Silbert. "I also wanted something to mix with my bourbon!" We love it sipped on its or mixed with rum and lime juice in a Cuba Libre, but you'll find it works well in any number of cocktails that call for cola. Look for it on shelves at Whole Foods nationwide, or in liquor stores and other gourmet markets beginning late next week.

OMG. I think a ping pong ball went down my skimmer line.
The kids had them last night. One of them was missing when they cleaned up. I thought it was in the bushes, we'd find it this morning. This morning the filter goes on automatically at 8. When I got out there at 8:30 it was making a noise and very, very little water was getting into the pump. I know it's a ping pong ball because when I was getting them out of the pool last night, one was wedged between skimmer basket and skimmer wall, holding the basket up so I'm sure one got underneath and in. OMG. I know this is bad. How bad and where could it be stuck? Pipes? Filter? OMG. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oops! Is your basket in the pump solid or does it have a hole? If it is solid, the ball could be just inside the endpoint plumbing at the pump and stuck against the basket. My basket has a hole on the water input size and a frog was sucked into my skimmer last week while i was cleaning the basket, it was bigger than a ping pong ball and was in the basket when I walked around, I let him out of course. |
Get a shop vac and blow it out from the pump. It'll shoot up and out of the skimmer (basket out!). Scott |
That frog must have had the ride of his life. |

Thank you, everyone! Scott, that's exactly what my husband (also Scott) did. He was still sleeping when this was all going down, while I posted here, while I had my 19th nervous breakdown over this pool project. When he woke up, I told him what happened and he was cool as a cucumber. The ping pong ball was ejected back into the skimmer - which made me ridiculously happy. Thanks, everyone. |
Just be glad it wasn't GI Joe with the Kung FU grip! Then you'd need a heavier duty, dedicated blower like I use for winterizing lines. Scott |

I know its an old one but one I have not tried before, if it really is what it claims to be. It is a bit like a TV game show...which box holds teh real "piquant". I opened 3 boxes to check. First one showed 2 buds coming, 2nd one had the bud wound all the way around the inside of the box in a square and was almost ready to bloom, and the 3rd had no bud or growth showing at all. I bought the first one. I was surprised at the poor condition already, with it still October, even though these were only $5.95. They looked like they were packaged months ago! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sometimes shocked by the poor condition of some of the boxed kits sold... and it seems to get worse as time passes. Well... this is why we always recommend opening and checking every box to find the best bulbs. It's almost as though the leftovers from late last season are sold first, and waiting for Christmas brings the better bulbs, the fresh ones. Even so, it's fun to find a bargain... and kind of like an adventure, opening all the boxes to find the best prize. |

I also bought a Piquant, but from Lowe's. I opened a lot of boxes before I decided on one, but I did find a decent bulb, good size and several white, plump roots. I have also looked at a lot of Apple Blossoms and all of them look like what Jodi described as left over from last season. Maybe closer to the holidays, there might be some nicer ones. |
My Piquant said on the box that it was from Israel. I had not thought of that as a supply place. Anyone know anything more about this? |
I noticed that on a box last year... I haven't given it much thought, but I suppose any country with the proper climate, and any company with the proper coolers and equipment could just as well produce hippeastrums as an export product. Interesting. |
Chris from Southern Bulbs said that Isrell is fast becoming a major grower of amaryllis (and other bulbs too). Guess it doesn't matter if their stock comes from Holland and is grown in Israel. I just looked online and it says 10 Israeli growers supply 6% of the worlds amaryllis. Here's the text...note that it's dated 2003, and I bet the figures are higher. Kristi STORY OF AN ENTREPRENEUR: AMARYLLIS FLOWERS Carmela and Aryeh Yitzchak from Tel Te'omim analyzed the situation and after much hard work, have built a remarkable farm. On the job as an agricultural consultant, Aryeh learned about the amaryllis flower-very large, bell-shaped flowers that are in great demand abroad during the Christmas season. This area of farming demands great expertise. For that reason, only ten Israeli growers supply 6% of the global demand for the amaryllis, about 30 million bulbs annually. Aryeh has used technology extensively in his amaryllis greenhouse, and by doing so, he has given himself a significant edge over his competitors. The greenhouses were equipped with very advanced technological systems. All the flowers are grown in detached, aboveground bedding, underneath which a drainage system removes excess water. The excess water flows to a collection point, where it is filtered and recycled for reuse. Irrigation and fertilizer controls, as well as humidity and temperature controls in the greenhouse, are automatically computer-monitored. The roof of the greenhouse is a dual-purpose thermal sheet, which is controlled by a UV radiation meter and temperature and humidity sensors, inside and outside the structure. Temperature stability is also achieved through an extensive fogging system, which helps balance the humidity. Aryeh sums up the entire approach: "The computer asks the plant 'How are you?' every ten minutes, and depending on the answer, it makes decisions about the breeding regimen and work in the greenhouse." Recently we were successful in getting Aryeh and Carmela more funding, also from the Jewish Agency, in order to improve their growing cycle even more, including the mechanization of the extraction and packing processes of the bulbs, as well as developing ways to grow material that allows the flowers to multiply independently, instead of having to buy it from other growers, as they've done until now. There's no doubt that agriculture could be revitalized if and when we learn how to harness technology to further improve results in various crops. Carmela and Aryeh Yitzchak are examples that this is possible. Recently, their amaryllis greenhouse has become a sort of tourist site, and we at MATI Beit Shean are planning on helping Aryeh design his farm to accommodate agro-tourism, a trend that will expand in the coming years and also contribute to the rejuvenation of agriculture. Adar Bet 5763 - March 2003 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Amaryllis in Israel
A most interesting article, Kristi! Love that idea of a drain under the plants that recycles the water to other usage! Maybe I should set that up in my new greenhouse? ThInk I could go for Ecotourism on Vashon? Sure, on my earnings from my flower business? I might make enough to keep me in coffee after 10 years, when I am 73? But what a lot of fun to think about! |

I'm going to have to start looking on the boxes for the source. I had no idea Israel! Really, I'm in the wrong business, I should be growing rare amaryllis. Tally HO! |
Interestingly enough, the bulb that I just got with the NBF hole in it actually originated in Israel... |

Month: February 2009
Google Forms Meets the Spaghetti Syndication Monster
Or – how I do things since I can't program – but isn't the first title much more fun?1
First off, thanks to Jim Groom for letting me bounce ideas off him, giving some technical assistance and for testing services rendered. Now to business.
Here's what I wanted- a web accessible form that would display the data as it rolled in right under the submission form. Just like comments for a post but we wanted multiple questions2 and we wanted to be able to divide the responses. So that, in and of itself, is pretty narrow and stupid but what this can do in the end is pretty cool and can have widespread power. Using Google forms and the selective publishing option you can embed all sorts of user inputted data w/o having a clue how to program- and I think that's pretty neat.
Obligatory Warning for WPMU users (WP single user should just work)- Some of the stuff I'm going to tell you to do is not a good idea if you've got other authors on your WPMU installation that you don't trust. If it's just you and people who won't be doing crazy stuff then proceed under your own recognizance.
To make this work in WordPress MU3 you're going to need to install one plugin - Unfiltered-mu. This basically lets you put in the iframe embed codes w/o WPMU stripping it out as unsafe4.
So once you've done that, you can get down to business.
Embedding the form part is easy. Just log into google docs and select New>Form.
Once you've got it set up the way you want – save it. Then go to More Actions>Embed.
You'll get a pop box with the iFrame code. Copy it. Go to your blog post or page (make sure you're in HTML view) and paste it in.
Once it's embedded you'll see something like what's below- and that is real. Go ahead put something in there and hit submit.
So that's going to allow people to enter information. Now we need to take what they write and put it other places. Keep in mind you could have multiple questions of multiple types and display different chunks in as many different places as you'd like. Unfortunately, you can't make multiple forms for one spreadsheet. That'd be awfully convenient at times.
Initially I was using the spreadsheet's RSS feed to pipe the results back in. That'll certainly work and you can use the embedrss plugin to make things easy5. In the end, I didn't go this route but might in the future. With the RSS feed I think you could control the look a lot better and decide how much recent data to show.
In the end I used the selective publishing options that Google SS has. I hadn't messed with this before so I was surprised how flexible things turned out to be.
Step one – Go to the spreadsheet that was auto created when you made the form. Then publish the spreadsheet as a web page.
Make sure you click Automatically republish if you want it to update (also note that if the Republish button is yellow you need to press it to make your changes go into effect).
Once you've got that set up. Click on More Publishing Options. You'll then put in the following info. Choose – HTML to embed in a web page. You can then decide which cells to show. It's just like Excel here. I only have one question and it's in column B so I chose B1:B55 but you could do things like B1:D55 or whatever. This is really handy for breaking your data up and showing different pieces in different places.
Now that you've got that set up the way you want- hit Generate URL AND cut and paste the HTML it made for you. Then paste it where you'd like your data to show up. I pasted the result below here. Notice too that the changes in formatting I made to the spreadsheet (the blue background) carried over to the embed. It seems like you have to republish to make that take effect6. Meanwhile, the data from the form should pipe right in every five minutes or so.
So you can use this in lots of fun ways with the added benefit that the info is in a spreadsheet that you can use in lots of other ways.
The information you enter in the form should show up here in a few minutes.
As additional background, I got Jim involved in this originally when I trying to use Cformsii (which is awesome by the way) and its RSS feed to do this (which is a really cool feature). I stopped using it because the feed for new entries was only working globally, that is for all forms, and not per form which is what I wanted. The feed also seems to fail in Google reader but I'm not sure why that is b/c it validates… Things seemed erratic to me but there could be lots of variables causing that. The upside of using Cforms would be increased control over the form and its look. You would have to figure out how to format the subsequent feed via CSS though – which is both good and bad in my opinion.
1 I freely admit that this may be seen as a stupid and useless thing to do (esp. by people who can write any sort of php.) I still see it as interesting if only for the fact that it shows different ways to make the information both portable, dynamic and embeddable.
2 To help make sure people actually addressed each aspect of the questions. If you give three questions in a post and ask people to answer in the comments you tend to get 1.4 questions answered rather than the 3 you wanted.
3 See Patrick, I am doing better.
4 The Rev. passed this on to me when I was cursing a few other plugins for not really allowing iframes to embed despite their claims to the contrary.
6 It could happen automatically but I never waited long enough to see.
Why use WPMU in K12?
I've been slowly migrating all of our individual WP installs into WPMU over the last few days. It's going to really make life a lot easier around here while adding some real advantages.
You've seen Jim showing a million reasons to use WPMU in the college environment and while most (maybe all) can be transferred over to K12 there are some advantages to using WPMU in K12 that are worth looking at a little more directly.
Flexibility – WordPress can handle just about any web need I have in a school setting. I can of course use it to blog but it can just as easily be the backbone for my school's website and act more like a CMS. And imagine a school website that was both current and easy for multiple users to updated without expensive software. The ability to quickly and easily change themes is attractive to users but it is also a key component in creating engaging web experiences for students. BlackBoard and other CMS options tend to pretend to give you control over how your particular page or site looks but real customization is not an option at the user level and it makes a difference. Being able to control all the aspects of the Richard III page made things far more professional and interesting to the students than changing the buttons in BB to purple. Will most people do this? Definately not. But when they need to or want to it is possible. It is fundamentally wrong to allow software to cap the creativity and imagination of your teachers. It's a choice you don't have to make.
I've also seen WordPress used to house podcasts, vodcasts, student newspapers1, book reviews etc. Make portions public, some private. Shutting the door on everyone is a horrific and stupid mistake. Schools need to put their content out there. It improves PR, involves the community and forces a kind of accountability that improves the school as a whole. It shouldn't be an option.
- Community and Monitoring – Sitewide feeds for posts and comments simplify things.- You've got the ability to keep track of a huge number of blogs and all their comments with just two RSS feeds. On the positive side that allows increased ability to generate community and help build energy and excitement. It makes all the difference in the world that teachers can easily find and see what other teachers are doing. The fact that these people are as similar as possible to those you're seeking to influence is of paramount importance. The more similar they are the more powerful they will be as motivators2.
The very thing that helps build community also allows you to monitor content easily3. With individual blogs and having to subscribe to each blog twice (comments and posts) things can easily get messy and hard to manage. If your world is anything like mine, then one publicized mistake can cause your whole experiment to get axed. You can help prevent that by monitoring the feeds for issues and acting quickly.
Ease of Use/Cheapness4 – Most K12 places are low on cash, low on IT expertise, don't have servers5 and are lacking in time to teach people how to use software6. So for, at the most, $100 a year I can take care of an entire school with no problem. Users can learn the basics on their own or within a few minutes. I'm no tech guy and I can take care of things. Now I've got one installation to worry about as opposed to 40 or 100.
And it's getting easier. I can now update from within, install plugins from within and backup from within. No FTP. I just click a button. That blows my mind.
My advice, start slowly. Build capacity and provide great examples of how to use the blogs effectively in a variety of ways. Then expand. I'd continue to monitor, more to keep the pulse of the community and help group like minded teachers together and look for great examples than to sensor or anything like that. If you read with that intent it'll seem much more pleasant and you can still keep catch any issues early.
Time's running out. Get out there and do something. Make it impressive. Make it invaluable. Make it so they can't take it away from you and replace it with some inflexible content coffin that will pacify only those in power7, only those who don't use it, while un-empowering students and teachers. It's going to happen sooner or later. Do it now and do it on your own terms.
1 I was starting to help UR's students get this rolling right before I left but they've run with it entirely on their own and it's amazing.
2 Can you tell I'm reading books on how to convince people? I can recommend – Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. This book has lots of really quick, actionable concepts that increase your ability to influence people. I figure it's a must for teacher and especially for anyone in a leadership position in a school.
3 I know, I know, it seems almost antithetical to me as well but the reality of k12 education today requires some checks like this. The media has been busy creating Internet bogeymen after all. Remember there's a pedophile behind every URL, no matter what the facts say.
4 No use having one without the other after all.
5 or have servers they can't use
6 Notice I didn't say train.
7 It's web 2.0, it's ajaxy, it's a magical CMS that almost reaches mediocrity while leaving you stuck in another frustrating box cut to fit John Doe, leaving you no room to breathe
7 Things About Me
Since Milobo tagged me and I follow the rules of tag like a religion here are 7 things about me.
- As a general rule I don't like schools or organized US education 1. I often wonder how I ended up doing this or if I even really belong here. On a positive note, I did enjoy Montessori school when I was younger.
- I have had 9 different full time jobs since I graduated in 2000. I've been hired by HCPS three separate times now and the University of Richmond twice.
- I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, South Korea, New York and Virginia. If it wasn't for my extended family I'd move to Australia even though I've never been there. I like Steve Irwin that much.
- I used to chase rabbits a lot in my neighborhood- barefoot 2 I caught one once. Once.
- I hate that I have to sleep but like sleeping. I can't help but think of how much more stuff I could do if I could just get by on 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. As a result I'm always looking for ways people go without sleep and still manage to survive. For about a year I tried massive amounts of caffeine. It was normal for me to drink 3 Sobe No Fear 24K Energy Gold drinks a day while also chewing Mad Croc Caffeinated gum3. I now know this method does not work.
Right now I drink virtually no caffeine.
As a benefit, I can now sleep virtually anywhere at any time.
- I refuse to read or watch the news and have no interest in Jessica Simpson.
- I was once touched by a lemur- no, not emotionally. He (she?) reached through the cage and touched my hand. I still plan to go back and rescue him.
I'm not sure who I'll tag. I'm looking for slow, unaware people. Let me know if you see anyone fitting that description.

The old Dunnes Stores on Patrick's Street is now only a shadow of it's former self. All that remains of the building is the front facade and a small portion of the side walls.
Construction work on the Paul Street development has levelled most of the back buildings in a square block, exposing the internals of other buildings to the elements.
I spotted photos hanging on the rear wall of a room left open to the elements after demolition. Surreal!
If any business person from Acadamy Street is reading this, can I go to the top of your building and shoot the construction site from on-high? Please!
