Good Morning. Weekend was good. Got things done at home. Went to a Kentucky Deby Party and my husband's pick came in 2nd place so we were happy. He won $25 and a dozen roses. It was nice. Back to the old grindstone today. Work work work. I am really feeling that old song... I don't like Mondays by Boomtown Rats. Does anyone remember that one???? Maddie - have a great trip!!!!!! Talk with you ladies later..... Lynn |

I'm here too, went to work early - I feel like I am so behind and starting to get that overwhelmed feeling that I dislike so much. So it is time to get in the garden and get grounded - that's where you will find me this afternoon LOL. Suzanne - sorry your weekend was a washout. Lyn - I don't know that song, maybe if I heard it. I am not good with names of songs. But I hope you have cheered up by now. Well, I better get back to work. |
Good Monday to everyone! I had a good weekend. DS#1 and DIL invited us over for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and DS#2's 21st birthday. I ate too much! But am happy to say that I'm back to eating right today. We had a 30 minute downpour yesterday. Water everywhere! But the farmers and ranchers were happy and very much needed the moisture. I've been monogramming towels for gifts to graduates. Got a few more to do today. DIL and the twins are picking me up this afternoon to go to the track for some walking. I'll be so glad when I'm back in the habit of walking. Right now I'm tired after 1˝ miles! It will get better though. *SSS* |
Hi all! Suzanne, I'm sorry that your weekend was so bad... How is Sweet Pea? Lynn, I remember that song! AND I understand about Mondays.... MaryAnn, We have rain here today too. I love it! Good for you, out walking again. 1 1/2 miles is a great start! It can only get easier... Raeanne, are you SURE we are not related?? I was thinking the same thing about our 2 bucks lol! I have that same overwhelmed feeling. It feels like things are out of control and I am hard pressed to stop them. I have so much to do and can't seem to catch up : ( I spent a couple of hours in the garden Saturday but even that didn't ground ME! I have 5 trellises to build and plants to get into the ground. I am so behind. I will get back out there again tomorrow. QOD: What's your favorite veggie? Mine is a fresh tomato right outta the garden! Tikanas |
- Posted by DeeMarie5500 (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 05 at 19:48
QOD: I love beefsteak tomatoes; could eat a ton of them! |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Tue, May 10, 05 at 8:06
QOD - Dee I also love those Jersey tomatoes - but only fresh and in season. My favorites vegetable is asparagus - I eat it at least twice a week roasted, grilled, steamed sauted with garlic and oil, unfortunately it has been very expensive around here lately. I am off to go swimming and then to kayak with a friend - we are going to a spot on the lake that is normally swampy, but the water is very high right now. I have to drive my DH's truck - I never drove this one before - so wish me or I should say him luck LOL. I will be okay going straight, not sure about backing it into to be near the lake - another adventure. |
Good Morning All, Raeanne, you will be fine with DH's truck! Use your mirrors! Have fun kayaking. Tikanis, I am envious of your being able to garden! We are having frost here still so no gardening until the end of the month and then there is still a danger of frost. I am anxious to start planting things and I will start with the hardier varieties. MaryAnn, 1 1/2 miles is a good start. Tikanis is right, it will get easier. Now that the rain has stopped the black flies are thick. It's awful and if there is no breeze they will eat you alive. Black flies are NH's state bird! QOD: I love almost all vegetables. Fresh tomatoes are right at the top of my list but for me a real tomato is not a reality until July. Fresh butter and sugar corn on the cob too but not until August! I am enjoying asparagus right now too but it is expensive. Still worth the price. I eat whatever is fresh and in season and leave the rest. |

QOD: Favorite: fresh steamed artichoke hearts. Close second: Fresh parsley stems. Third: Heirloom tomatoes. Lots to do after the trip. Didn't get to see Maddie this time. :( My family swept me up in their tornado and I touched down just in time to catch the plane back home. The trip was too short, to say the least, but my bro drove up from Florida and I saw my uncle whom I haven't seen in at least 10 years. Of course, my aunt and parents kept the food coming and it was all so delicious. But I ate small postions and lost weight again this week. Since my teens told me to stop dieting and just eat smaller portions and exercise, I've lost 10.5 pounds. I really am amazed. |
Hello, QOD: Fresh tomatoes with lots of salt! But I also love beets and cauliflower. It is beautiful today after the monsoon we had over the weekend! Yikes, it was a real nor'easter. We have not had one like that around here in a very long time. Have a nice evening! Love, Besh |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 05 at 12:58
HEY! Wake up, all you diet-hards! What's happening in your world? My parents are arriving for a week-long visit. Already their plane has been delayed so I won't be able to pick them up 'cause I'll be picking kids up from school. I'm having a Towne Car pick them up; they'll probably like that better! I hope my mom and I can get some planting and gardening done while she's here. My father has several medical appointments to get to for his hips and legs. So, my week is pretty much shot---but in a good way. *****QOD #1: How many glasses of water have you had today? 1 so far, which reminds me....I better get some water into me! *****QOD #2: And what way are you going to pamper yourself this week for everything you do? I bought 2 beaded curtains that have every color of the Chakras in them, so I'm hanging them in the windows of my office to welcome in some good vibes! Gotta find my hammer now.....lol. CHECK IN----! |
- Posted by magickitty (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 05 at 13:25
Happy Wednesday Everyone. QOD: Green beens are my fav. Grape tomatoes 2nd place. QOD: about 3 glasses so far and counting. QOD2: Pampering????? Whats pampering???? lol. I enjoy a nice pedicure every now and then. My DH says, oh I see you got your hooves done. LOL. Raeanne - tell us how the truck and kayaking went. Lynn |
Happy Wednesday! QOD#1 - 0, I'm drinking a diet Coke right now. But I'll make up for it this afternoon. Water, water, water!!! QOD#2 - I'm going to ride. I can't think of anything else I would rather do. Jammer and I are riding on a Poker Run put on by the Crime Stoppers! |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 05 at 14:44
QOD - 3 big glasses of water for me, and 1 big smoothie. QOD #2 - I am going to hang out in the spa tomorrow and soak in the hot tub then relax in the sauna, after an hour of swimming. Lynn - the truck was no problem, my main concern was that I had to back it up a narrow driveway from a pretty busy street, but it went well. I felt very adventurous, driving around in a big truck with 2 kayaks hanging out of it LOL. The kayaking was gorgeous, we were out there about 2 1/2 hours. It was so calm, we saw lots of wildlife and the weather was perfect. I can't wait to go there again. Maybe next week. There were no other boats in sight and passed only one other kayaker. I am so sad, my closest girlfriend is separating from her husband - they just returned from vacation and decided while away, that a separation is necessary. I saw it coming, and I know that in the long run, this is the best thing - but I am so hurt for them. She won't be by me until next week and I feel so helpless. The four of us are together at least 2 to 3 times a week - so it will be a big adjustment for all of us. |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Wed, May 11, 05 at 14:45
BJ - the beaded curtains sound perfect for an office space - very cool. |
Hello Everyone! MaryAnn, are you a fellow equestrian???? Jammer sure sounds like a horses name to me!! Do tell. I bore everyone here with my horse tales! Yes, Raeanne, tell us how you got that big rig in and around the lake! QOD: I am on my 4th 14oz glass. I wore tight pants today to remind me of how fat I am and I am perfectly miserable. Did not stop me from eating my lunch however. I think it's hopeless with me. Next week I have my colonoscopy. I am SO looking forward to that. I thought it might be a great opportunity for me to prepare for the fast track liver detox that someone posted about on a thread at the diet forum. Sounds like a good thing to do. |
NHSuzanne, I ride motorcycles! And Jammer is my SO. He's actually Jesse, but friends at the Kitchen Table Forum named him Jammer. LOL We do ride horses, though. Jammer recently bought a beautiful paint for his sons to ride, and my kids have rode horses all their lives, working with cattle. My 2 youngest sons are bullriders. Well, I think they've kind of grown out of that stage in life. You can see Jammer and I and our new motorcycle here, plus lots of pictures of our riding trips, www.bugsinourteeth.com. |

Happy THURSDAY everyone! Yesterdays QOD 1: only 3 for the entire day; I did have 6 cups of decaf tea, though!! Yesterdays QOD 2: had not thought about pampering myself. We are having dinner with friends tonight to celebrate their 31st anniversary. I was going to stay home with a book and a bubble bath (and then they asked us to join them). Friday afternoon, DH wants to go fishing, so I think that after I do the grocery shopping and some of the packing for our trip next week, I'll get into that bubble bath!!!! MaryAnn, you guys are too funny! I've shown my DH pictures of you and Jammer from the KT. DH is a former Harley owner (he had to sell when he was much younger to pay bills!) He believes that some day he will ride again; however, I worry about it since we live in the most densely populated state in the USA, and drivers like to take out bikers for sport around here!!!!! There is just no place to ride safely. Raeanne, sorry about your friends (the ones I met in Jersey?) Hopefully, they will find a way to work things out so that each of them remains happy. BTW, I think you are having way too much fun lately..I'm jealous! Gotta run and get some work done here. |
Good Morning All, Well Maryann, at least you know what a horse is! LOL I too am a motorcycle rider. I ride with my DH but not as often as I should because I prefer to ride my horse. He has a Sportster and I have a Kawasaki which, by the way, always starts!!! Raeanne, glad you had a nice time on the water. I am sure it was a wonderful experience. Sorry you are in pain over your friends breakup. It's never easy. Has anyone heard from Gretchen and Marci? They have both been absent too long. Patti too. Check in you guys. QOD #2: I don't pamper myself very often but yesterday I sat on my porch and watched my beautiful four legged family graze while I had a glass of wine! I just go sick of feeding the black flies that I gave up and went in! |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 9:45
Hi Guys! Well, my parents finally got here. The driver I sent couldn't ever find them, he had them paged, I had them paged, he looked all over the airport, etc. Never heard from them. Finally, 2 1/2 hours later, I started a drive to the airport with one of my teens, leaving the other teen home with the younger kids, in case my parents called or turned up. Just before I got on the freeway, I saw them in a airporter shuttle bus driving the other way (to my house). What a day. They refuse to get a cell phone, so there's no way to get ahold of them when this kind of stuff happens. ARG! But now they're here....! My dad has a bunch of doc appts to look at his hip and back and foot. He's in a lot of pain. I hope they can fix him. DeeMarie~How's your FIL? You still feeding him and fattening him up? AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING next week??????? Besh~ How's things with your dad? And Raeanne~ You sound like you're living a great kayaking life! But I am sorry to hear about your friends breaking up, especially when you and your DH spend so much time with them. It'll be a hard adjustment, particularly when they begin dating others, but you are so even-handed and loving, I know you can support them well and things will go on. I thought about you last evening and woke up with you on my mind again today. It seems very sad to lose the future good times you shared with those two. ((((HUGS)))))) MaryAnn~Love the pics. I had looked on your page when you joined us and it appeared you might be having WAY too much fun at this motorcycle thing! lol. Well, I better get my tail in gear. I have to take dad to 2 docs today and who knows what they have in store for him. He's a little grumpy not knowing, so I'll run interference with the receptionists----if you know what I mean. Make it a great day! Check in with your inspirations! ******QOD: What's you favorite inspirational quote? |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 9:51
NHSuzanne: We posted at the same time. Have you ever tried Swy Flotter, made by Kiss My Face? It repels almst ANYTHING! It's wonderful! You can get it at DrugStore.com. Type in "Swy Flotter" in the search box and it'll pop up. Kiss My Face also makes a fantastic spray-on sun screen. Love it! Have a good one! Your glass of wine and pasture viewing experience sounds so peaceful! |

QOD: Carpe Diem BJ, we are driving cross-country in a small RV with our friends (who don't fly!) and heading out of San Francisco on a cruise to Alaska! Thought I told you, but maybe not. We'll be gone almost 4 weeks. YeeeeHaw DFIL has good days and bad days. We're still hopeful that this latest round of chemo will help a bit, but not sure. I want DH to take his daughters to see their grandfather before he looks too drastically different. Now is the time, and SIL has also suggested it. Make today ocunt!! Hug your loved ones! |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 14:52
Dee - Yes, the ones you met in NJ - it is breaking my heart. I just had a long discussion with DH, because it is going to be awkward in the beginning. I will probably see her tomorrow - I can't wait to give her a big hug. I wanna go across country with you and an Alaskan cruise is the only one that I really want to go on - so I am very jealous right now. Are you renting the RV? We have thought of doing that many times. BJ - glad you finally caught up with your parents - sounds like something that would happen to me LOL. Thanks for the hug - it felt good. MaryAnn - I am going to go see the photos now. Sounds like you are a very adventurous family. QOD - well maybe not a real inspirational quote and no famous philospher is attributed with saying it, but I have to say - "LIFE IS GOOD". Or maybe I should quote our own motivational speaker DeeMarie and say "Never, never give up". LOL Yes, I am having too much fun right now and the best part is that I'm not guilty about it - so "Life really is good". |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 23:11
The quote that keeps me going is: "Remain independent of any source of income that will deprive you of your personal liberties." That keeps me honest....lol..... |

Good FRIDAY morning! [[[[[[[[[[[[Raeanne & Rich]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Raeanne, my friends (who don't fly) bought themselves a small RV. It has 2 sofas, a tiny kitchen, and a bathroom...about the size of a work van. We don't sleep in it; we stay at hotels each night! LOL! It's just very comfortable and has 2 DVD's, etc. (The bathroom is a real plus!!!) QOD: Weekend plans? I'm going to attend a 30th birthday party tomorrow. Complete surprise for the birthday girl. I'm helping my friend (her mom) with the cooking tonight. Sunday will be spent visiting DFIL and packing for our trip next week! Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP! |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Fri, May 13, 05 at 8:54
DeeMarie: That sounds like a fun trip! I'd love it! Let us know which cities you're hitting in Alaska! Well, I'm headed out for a day of food! Breakky with my parents and one of my best gal pals, then I'm headed to a mother-daughter lunch today at the school. Then I think I'm going to attempt to make seared scallops in apple cider sauce for dinner. After that, I'm taking the teens and their friends to the "House of Wax" movie. They need someone over 19 to get them in - that would be me...lol. Saturday, I'm driving everyone (parents and kids) to Salem, OR to visit my niece's 1 yr old darling baby. We haven't had the opportunity to meet him, so we're taking a day trip to cover that. It's about 4 hours down and another 4 back, so I'll be tired by the end of day then! Sunday, I'm taking Mom and the kids to the nursery to buy 1500 lady bugs to let loose in the yard. So much fun! Then we'll all plant the sweet peas we've sprouted and whatever we fancied at the nursery and bought! Yesterday, it was doc appts all day for Dad and more of the same Monday, then visiting their friends here on Tuesday. Whew! I think I'm busier driving my parents to all of their things than I am with my kiddles! They take off on Wednesday. And I'll be ready for meditation, the tan bed, and a huge triple shot, non-fat, skinny latte for sure! ((((((((RAEANNE))))))))))) Hope things can stay nice between your friends, but sometimes there are a few bumps in the road. Hang in there. Your life, though, sounds wonderful. And you deserve it, girlfriend. You are one of the most giving. loving people I know. NHSuzanne~ Does the weather look like it'll cooperate for a ride this weekend? I'm ready for a riding story! MaryAnn~ The poker runs are so much fun! We used to do them when I was flying airplanes. The cards would be at the airport fixed base operation counter and we'd sure get lots of take-offs and landings in on those days!!!!!! |
Good Friday Morning All, BJ, wow, I am tired just thinking about what you are doing this weekend. Hope you get to take a few minutes for yourself at some point! I LOVE lady bugs. About 10 years ago here in NH the Dept of Fish and Game started a program to revive the lady bug population here. It was a smashing success but so much so, that people started complaining about all the lady bugs taking refuge in thier homes for a short while in the fall! You can't win. They are still going strong in spite of the complaints. They are talking about more rain this weekend but it looks like we will be able to squeeze a few rides in here and there. I don't know about horse stories yet though it's still so buggy in the woods that I am steering clear! You all will be some of the first to hear about it though! QOD: I have so many inpirational quotes that I like and recite to myself but one of my favorites is: Live simply so that others may simply live. Also, live and let live. They help keep me in check when I think I have the right to judge others...... |

QOD -nothing exciting planned here - but I will figure something out. My friend in need is coming this afternoon, so I will probably try to spend a lot of time with her and try to get her to smile. We are getting rain this weekend too, but it doesn't sound too bad. I had a dream 2 nights ago and the numbers 49 and 490 were involved, so I tell my DH I should play those numbers. So I boxed it and after Jeopardy they announce the numbers. We hear "the first number is 4"......"the second number is 9"..... and the 3rd number is .......5", so close, yet so far. I have been having a lot of strange dreams lately and last night was no exception. I had a dream that an employee at an airport ripped up my ticket to Barbados - very long - so I will spare you the details - but he ultimately saved my life. When I woke up I realized that this man looked very familiar and then came to realize that he is the G0d janitor on Joan of Arcadia. Very weird! But I took it as a sign that I was being looked over and that I have a good life - I do believe that is true. I have only seen that show a couple of times - I enjoy it, but am rarely around to watch it. NH Suzanne - I am in need of some Horse 'Tales' too LOL. We are just getting those darn black flies around here. BJ - Once again, I am exhausted just reading your post LOL. DeeMarie - The RV will certainly help save time with no "potty stops". Sounds like a blast - thanks for the hug! The phone hasn't stopped ringing since I started this post, so I better get busy. Have a great weekend. |
I'm rushing through today, but trying to read everything QOD: I have many, but one is "Now is the moment of power" from hawaiian shaman training. |
Actually, before that, my favorite was always the "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," but the trouble is that when you try to apply that, it can get kind of complicated. It's a good intention, though. Ultimately, I believe that what hurts one, hurts all, so it's as practical as it is altruistic. |
Hello, Down another 3/4# at WW today. Woopee!!! I honestly thought I gained a couple after the week that I have had, so I am grateful that it is a loss! I'll take it. This has been one of the most stressful weeks DH and I have both had in a long time. I won't go into great detail, but the worst of it is that Zoe (my DD, darling dog) has to have surgery on her leg to repair a torn cartilidge type thing). It is expensive, but what are you going to do? She is a member of our family (that does not have health insurance, LOL) so we will take care of her. It just seems like this kind of thing has been happening to us alot lately. Can't seem to get ahead and feeling kind of in a funk. Raeanne, what do I do about this? Seriously. Other incidents this week: 1. Major blow out with DS#1 on Mothers Day no less. It has since been resolved and lots of things that needed to come out in the open did, so that was good. 2. DH truck broke down and needed some major repair work. 3. DFIL is sick again. Although he is in a nursing home and being taken care of, it never seems like they do enough for him. He has been sicker since moving in there, then he has ever been. I know there are more germs flying around, but it is just frustrating. 4. Now I am sick. Have been feeling a cold coming on for about 1 week, well it is finally here! I didn't mean to dump all of that on you guys, but I do feel better. QOD: This weekend will consist of Lacrosse game and practice; cleaning; hopefully some gardening if the weather cooperates and maybe some me time. I am going for a long walk, since I only got to walk a few times this week and now my walking buddy (Zoe) is on complete rest for the next 3 months! QOD: I don't have an inspiration quote. :-( When I get one, I will let you know. Carpe diem! Love, Besh |
- Posted by Wild_Chicken (My Page) on Fri, May 13, 05 at 19:52
(((((((HUGS, BESH!)))))) The sun will come out tomorrow---bet your bottom dollar! And...CONGRATS on the 3/4 lb. loss!!!!!!! YAY! |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Sat, May 14, 05 at 10:22
Besh - I sent you a long winded e-mail. Let me know if you don't get it. |
- Posted by aka_Raeanne (My Page) on Sun, May 15, 05 at 11:30
Just put my third load of laundry on. Slept till nearly 8:30 this morning - that felt weird - guess I needed it. I know some of you grow your own herbs here. I posted a question on the herb forum, but maybe I can get some help here. I am helping a friend make a container garden of herbs this week and she would like to add some flowers to it, as it is her only garden. Are there any flowers that are better for this - like companion flowers or more importantly are there any flowers we should just plain avoid? It will probably be basil, tarragon, rosemary, parsley or cilantro and chives - which I think will be pretty enough, especially if she wants to add some lavender. But I guess she would like some color. It's an overcast drizzly day here today - which will keep me out of the garden today. I love to go out there each day and see what else is trying to pop up - not that I have a big garden, but it has a lot of variety in it. I watched "Finding Neverland" last night - that was so good, but I didn't expect it to be as sad as it was - that wouldn't keep me from watching it again though. I have a ton of unfolded in a heap clean laundry in my room for the last week, I guess I will tend to some of it (not very ambitous today LOL) BJ - I made a delicious garlicky mussels marinara last night and thought of you. I was impressed by how it came out - but not as good as the restaurant we went too. I have added almonds to my SS, as I just feel they are too healthful and delicious to deny my body of. I take a handful each day, so far they haven't made me gain weight - but I have been maintaining (so I may have to adjust that). I do try to eat them on an empty stomach. Have a great day! |

Being a Canadian NFL fan is mostly pretty ballin', as the kids say. Free from geographical obligations, the maple syrup drinking American football lover can choose to adopt and support any team, which is why there are often very random packs of fans here in the land of beaver tails which may or may not be attached to an inflatable beaver that's always enjoyable. There's plenty of boyish glee around here right now following the premiere of this year's Hard Knocks last night, because for some reason the population of Dolphins fans inside The Score's palatial downtown Toronto towers is high.
But my colleagues felt great pain last night, along with every other NFL-loving hoser. Something our fine American friends may not realize is that Hard Knocks isn't shown on HBO Canada, which results in a long time spent searching for illegal live streams that also dump several years worth of porn onto your hardrive. So in that sense if said stream is found, you may receive many hours of viewing pleasure.
My search last night and earlier this morning that lasted for many unhealthy hours turned up blank, and Youtube clips of the premiere are heavily guarded and more rare than Olympic gold medals in this country (heyo?). So as a service to my fellow countrymen, here's a sampling of the best clips, courtesy of Kissing Suzy Kolber.
It took nine minutes for the Hard Knocks producers to show Lauren Tannehill last night, which was about six minutes more than I expected. The opening scene was a player — Derrick Dennis — getting cut, and new head coach Joe Philbin suggested to Vontae Davis that he should get his bladder checked out after the cornerback kept catching his breath during practice by taking bathroom breaks.
Oh, and Matt Moore eats baby food.

The Sneakers Worn for the 15 Best Performances in the History in Duke Basketball History
From what started out back in 1906 when a game called basketball was introduced to students at Trinity College, to what's now arguably the best modern day college basketball program in America, the Duke Blue Devils have transcended the game like few others before.
Now, with head coach Mike Krzyzewski at the helm, iconic players like Grant Hill and Christian Laettner wearing the blue and white, and four championship banners sitting in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium, being a Dookie has never been so good. What's also been good are some of the kicks that's been on the feet of the players, as a wide variety of Nike and adidas kicks have been worn on Coach K's court. Let's take a look at The Sneakers Worn for the 15 Best Performances in the History in Duke Basketball History.

Howdy, we have moved down to Nicaragua from the USA. We have 2 cats and 1 dog! We have Ceramic Tiles throughout our house. Cleaning supplies here are a bit limited, seems everything has disinfectant in it, which I guess is good, but I don't imagine its good for my animals. Can any suggest a home made safe for animals recipe to clean the floors. We clean with a mop! I have bought 1 of those Shark Steam cleaners, but could be like another month or 2 before our home goods arrive here, so in the mean time, have to use the mop. Any recommendations would be super. Many Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't splurge often, but year ago fell in love with an very expensive tile made in Italy. The tile man who installed it recommended I damp mop my floors with vinegar. |

Many Thanks!! Did some research on Vinegar and many agree with you Calliope!! Many Thanks!!!!!! |
I also use vinegar on my tile regularly. If you end up with stains- my old dog use to have accidents from time to time, which stained our ceramic, scrubbing with baking soda and sometimes a little bleach if necessary seems to work. My SIL swears by just mopping with plain old hot water, the hottest she can get out of the tap. She claims that's all she needs for her ceramic tile. My tile and grout are really grubby right now and need a thorough cleaning soon. I've discovered that a strong dish soap solution and a very stiff plastic bristle brush work much better than a lot of the chemical-heavy, expensive "easy" cleaning products. |

Thank you. |
Bissell Steam Mop. I don't use any chemicals and my tile (and sealed wood) floors clean up beautifully. I still have to clean the grout once in a while (I have 6 dogs and my back yard is just a mud hole- no grass at all) with a scrub brush but I think that's because I've never gotten around to sealing the grout. |

We have the Shark steam mop coming with our good---we moved from the USA to Nicaragua. Now juts have to get my maid to use it when it arrives,lol |

According to a festival regular, survival is easy. The real challenge is getting the most for your money and seeing all of your favorite shows.
Reed Stewart, senior in radio, television and film, has been going to festivals for years and has learned plenty of tips and tricks to share.
"My biggest tip would just be to always stay with someone," Stewart said. "If you're with a group or with a few people, I would never choose to peel off by myself whether you're going to the restroom, or concessions, or going to get a drink or something. It just gets so hectic with all those people running around every direction."
Stewart went on to explain the unreliability of cell phones in the midst of thousands of people. Stewart said messages don't send and calls don't go through, so a simple walk to the port-a-potty could be the last time you see your friends for the day.
Fernando Turpin, junior in English, has a different set of priorities.
"Don't sacrifice a band you really want to see over what your friends want to do," Turpin said. "You'll see [your friends] later, but the band you won't."
Staying together definitely makes things easier, but if you miss Paul McCartney framed by fireworks singing "Live and Let Die" in front of 100,000 screaming fans because your friend was too tired, you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself. Some things are worth going solo.
If you're going to a camping festival, staying clean and hydrated are among the hardest things to master.
"I know I'm gonna be relatively gross so what I do is wash my hair in the free sinks, then you basically use baby wipes to keep the rest of your body clean as well as you can," Stewart said. "But you just get used to being gross after a while."
Getting grimy is part of the experience of camping festivals.
As long as you're not so dirty that it gets dangerous, try to embrace it and don't hesitate to jump in the fountains.
When it comes to water, however, hydration is far more important.
Stewart goes to festivals with a specific budget just for water.
"I always plan on buying one to two bottles every hour," Stewart said. "Cause you're sweating, and there's just non-stop dancing and moving in the hot sun. If you're not throwing down the water then you're just going to dry right up."
At Bonnaroo, a popular summer music festival in Tennessee, you will often find staff throwing bottles of water into the crowd - but only if you can find the right stage.
"The stage names are the ultimate troll," Turpin said.
"Which Stage" and "What Stage" are the names of the two big stages at Bonnaroo. "This Tent," "That Tent," and "The Other Tent" are the names of the smaller tents; you can imagine the confusion that ensues.
Rachel Rubin, junior in communications, gave some advice for first timers.
"Don't have expectations going into [a music festival]," Rubin said. "Because it's going to be very different for every person."
If you are flexible, patient and love music, you're a perfect candidate for this year's roundup of music festivals.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

For Immediate Release
October 21, 2011
President Obama Presents the National Medals of Science & National Medals of
Technology and Innovation, and Announces Additional Steps to Help Bring More
Cutting-Edge Ideas to Market
WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, at a ceremony at the White House, President Obama
honored the recipients of the National Medal of Science and National Medal
of Technology and Innovation-the highest honors bestowed by the United
States government on scientists, engineers, and inventors. In addition,
the President announced additional steps that will help convert more ideas
from America's universities, research labs and companies into new
products, expanding our economy and creating 21st century jobs.
"I'm pleased to recognize these extraordinary scientists, engineers, and
inventors for their work exploring the very frontiers of human knowledge
and making our world a better place," President Obama said. "It's
important to recognize that work, and to help make it easier for inventors
and innovators like them to bring their work from the lab to the

Moving Ideas from Lab to Market
A New Online Resource to Speed Commercialization of Technologies: In
support of the President's goals for the Advanced Manufacturing
Partnership, the federal Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) will
launch a new searchable, web-based resource to assist manufacturers, tech
firms, and entrepreneurs to turn more of their ideas into products and
businesses. Integrated into the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) MEP website, the site will enable businesses and
entrepreneurs across the country to easily identify and contact more than
2,000 public-private organizations and initiatives designed to assist
them. The site will profile more than 900 organizations that offer
capital, intensive entrepreneurial support, technical assistance, and
access to new markets. Among the users will be NIST MEP's more than 1,400
technical experts located around the country who are focused on solving
manufacturers' challenges and identifying opportunities for growth. They
will use the resource to improve the economic standing of the more than
34,000 manufacturers they work with annually, resulting in new sales and
investments. This web resource will bring together in one place
information that is currently scattered across the country.

You can get Crock Pot Connectables starting at under $60 and keep dinner or food for a party hot and ready to serve. Crock Pots have been a staple in most kitchens for years. Over the years cooks have used Crock Pots to cook and/or keep food warm. Crock Pots are ceramic pots, with glass lids, that fit inside a metal heating pot. Heating elements in the metal heating base heat up when connected to 120V power. That heat cooks or warms food in the inner ceramic pot. You can get Crock Pot Connectables starting at under $60 online from Walmart.com, Target.com, Costco.com and more. They make it easy to put soup, roast, and many other foods, into a Crock Pot and set it to cook on low heat before leaving for home. That saves cooking time and lets you and your family sit down to eat when you get home. The only problem with this has been that Crock Pots only cooked one thing at a time. Crock Pot has a new line of Crock Pots, called "Connectables" that solve this problem.
Tip: You can find the Crock Pot Connectables Entertainment Systems on Amazon.com.
The Crock Pot Connectable System
The Crock Pot Connectable Entertaining System is a great way to cook several things at the same time in connected Crock Pots. They're a variation on the Classic slow cooker that cook all day or for a shorter period depending on the temperature setting. Crock Pot Connectables come in different sizes and shapes that fit inside individual stackable heating units. Though some of the pots are smaller, it lets you cook more than one dish at a time in the same base. But another great benefit is being able to save storage space by stacking individual units with the rest of the system. Whether you use them individually or connected, Hook-ups are a great way to cook and serve guests.
Connect and Cook
Crock Pot Connectables have interlocking heating bases that allow you to connect as many as three heating units together at once. Each unit has it's own electrical 120V connection but when you connect the heating units one retractable power cord heats all of the units. That means you only need one electrical outlet. That's important if you use multiple electrical devices when you cook. The units can also be used to keep food warm as you serve family and/or guest from them.
Carrying Case and Easy Storage
Once the meal is done, clean up is quick and easy and your Connectable Hook-up system comes apart and become stackable for easy storage. They also have leather carrying cases that make it easy to handle the units after they've been heated. This design takes less space leaving you room to store other things. The Crock Pot Hook-up Entertaining System is neatly designed and come in Green, Copper, Metallic Blue, Metallic Black, and Metallic Charcoal. The Crock Pot Connectable system is a great deal starting at under $60.

HELSINKI, March 14, 2012—On March 8, 2012 the US National Cancer Institute published a study dealing with the risk of glioma (a type of brain cancer) and cell phone radiation.
This study should have made headlines around the world similar to those made by the last year's IARC classification of cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen. But it did not. One must wonder: why?
When IARC classified cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen in 2011, I commented in my science blog that it was:
"Big news because for the first time a very prominent evaluation report states it so openly and clearly: RF-EMF is possibly carcinogenic to humans. One has to remember that IARC monographs are considered as "gold standard" in evaluation of carcinogenicity of physical and chemical agents. If IARC says it so clearly then there must be sufficient scientific reason for it, or IARC would not put its reputation behind such claim. Furthermore, what we are used to, are statements that "so-and-so-many-review-
Similarly, the new study from the NCI should be considered big news, because for the first time scientists found that the prediction from the epidemiological study indicating that cell phone radiation might cause an increase in brain cancer has found confirmation in the study that followed the brain cancer trends.
It is BIG NEWS indeed.
This big news should force all scientists, decision makers, industry and research funding agencies to re-evaluate thinking about the possibility that a causal link between cell phone radiation and brain cancer may indeed exist.
In recent years there have been a few studies published attempting to dismiss the possibility of this link by examining brain cancer trends in the human population. I have criticized the shortcomings of these stories, both in this column at the Communities, and in my science blog. The authors of the NCI study agreed with me, pointing out the major problem of these trend-following-studies:
"However, none of these studies assessed the potential effect of latency or possible variation in excess relative risk with the cumulative duration of phone use on trends in brain cancer incidence."
The latency of brain cancer is a serious problem that has affected all epidemiological studies published so far. We do not know the possible latency period for brain cancer induced by cell phone radiation. The time ranges from a few years to decades, but the fact is that it is an enigma. We really do not have the answer.
There are two reasons for this latency-enigma, and both are stated in the NCI paper:
- "Without data indicating substantial effects of mobile phone exposure on incidence rates of brain cancer, it is not possible to accurately estimate the minimum latency period."
- "…since the cause of brain cancer is still unclear, we could not definitively state a minimum latency period, and therefore considered several periods between 1 and 10 years, similar to other studies."
As long as we do not know what causes brain cancer, we are unable to pin down the latency time period. In turn, we cannot reliably predict when the effects of cell phone radiation exposures will show up in the population.
Lastly, there are two surprising and "puzzling" statements in the NCI article.
The first one is made in the article's Introduction and refers to the lack of a causality link between cell phone radiation and brain cancer:
"…many large and well conducted studies have found little evidence to support such a link."
Among those "well conducted" studies are INTERPHONE and the Danish Cohort. Both of them are anything but well conducted/designed studies and it might be just "pure luck" that the INTERPHONE study was able to detect a risk increase in avid phone users.
The other "puzzling" statement is made at the conclusion of the Discussion section of the article:
"No compelling data have suggested that microwave exposure can increase the risk of any type of cancer, or raise rates of somatic or germ cell mutation.37 In particular, a study of 480 Fischer rats did not find any excess risk of glioma or astrocytoma in those exposed to 835.62 MHz or 847.74 MHz of microwave radiation."
As I have written in this column, the no-effect-result in animal studies does not prove that there is no risk to humans only that there is no risk to animals. The authors of the NCI study should be aware that their statement is incorrect
Where do we stand today? The NCI study suggests that the observed trend of a slow increase in brain cancer in the U.S. might verify the predictive findings of the INTERPHONE study that suggests a 40% risk increase for avid long term phone users.

Bill would offer remediation to college-bound students
By Matt Mikus firstname.lastname@example.com February 7, 2013 12:33PM
State Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, said data from charters should be analyzed before more changes are considered.

INDIANAPOLIS — A bill to offer remediation to students who plan to go on to college drew heavy debate from House Democrats, saying the legislation doesn't go far enough.
The bill, HB 1005, authored by Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany would prevent students from taking remediation courses after high school. It passed the House Thursday with a vote of 88-13.
The bill requires high schools to create a plan to determine whether a student needs additional remediation lessons in grade 11, prior to graduating and heading to college. Republicans hope the bill will help students receive additional help before heading to college, where many students may be required to take a remediation course.
"It's not a perfect bill, but it is a big step in the right direction," Clere said. "There's nothing in this bill that says schools should wait until the 11th grade to figure out what to catch up, this is a backstop."
Democratic members worried the bill does not provide enough funds to fix the problem early on. They said the bill would require additional testing and did not fully fund the remediation.
State Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, who serves on the Education Committee, thought the effort and intent were proper, but the bill didn't go far enough. He felt remediation should be more than one year before graduation.
"We need to talk about the remediation early on," Smith said. "We're waiting until the tail end of the education effort."
The bill will now head to the Senate, sponsored by Sens. Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, and Earline Rogers, D-Gary.

A Billings child psychiatrist admitted Wednesday in federal court that he possessed child pornography.
James H. Peak, 49, pleaded guilty to one count of possession during his first court appearance before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Shanstrom.
Peak did not dispute any of the evidence offered by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marcia Hurd during the 25-minute hearing.
Peak's attorney, Jay Lansing, said Peak declined to comment.
The U.S. Attorney's Office also had no comment on the case.
Peak reported himself to federal law enforcement officers in February and cooperated with a postal inspector to provide material he had collected and credit card receipts proving his purchases.
Peak admitted that he bought and received the material through the mail. He told investigators that he would collect child porn and then destroy it numerous times over the years, Hurd said. Talking about his activities was a relief, she said.
Peak had movies that contained child porn, but it was not the graphic images found in most child porn cases, Hurd said. There was no evidence that Peak used a computer to find or save the material, she said.
Most child porn cases involve people using computers to receive, possess or distribute the material, which often are of prepubescent children and show children engaged in violent, sadistic or masochistic abuse.
Peak, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, was suspended from Billings Clinic, where he had worked since 1994. He voluntarily surrendered his medical license.
Peak faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine. A plea agreement calls for the prosecutor to recommend a downward departure from an unspecified sentencing guideline range because of Peak's "extraordinary acceptance of responsibility."
Shanstrom set sentencing for Nov. 16 and continued Peak's release.

Toronto Raptors forward-guard Landry Fields will be one of five participants on ABC's new show "Sing Your Face Off," a talent competition featuring celebrities who are transformed and trained to perform as a legendary musical icon. The series premiere is Saturday, May 31 (9 p.m. ET).
Over the course of the series, five celebrities will take on the identity of an iconic music performer. They could find themselves transformed into someone far older, younger or even someone of the opposite sex. In addition to Fields, the other four celebrities include Sebastian Bach, Jon Lovitz, China Anne McClain and Lisa Rinna.
From the hours in the makeup chair to the days spent with choreographers and vocal coaches, each show will feature the complete transformation. The celebrities will embody everything about the assigned icon – their walk, their talk, and their distinguishing mannerisms leading up to the live performance in front of the studio audience. Viewers will get the chance to see each of the celebrities portray multiple musical performers during the series — such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Pavarotti, Pitbull, Britney Spears and Tina Turner.

Not all the ethical questions in play here go away just because an event is on the record. There's the obvious concern about a publication becoming indebted to a sponsor, or razing the wall between editorial and advertising.. But beyond that, if a key government official or business leader, by agreeing to participate, helps a publication attract sponsors or paying customers, does he or she expect–-or get–-the benefit of the doubt in future coverage? And are news organizations, in some of these cases, selling their access to influential decision-makers? (CQ, whose publisher, Keith White, declined to comment because the company is in the midst of a sale, touts its summits as a way "to seamlessly integrate federal, state and local policy objectives in a single, 'turn-key' program" on its Web site.)
At the same time, these events may have value in and of themselves, to say nothing of the role they play in underwriting reporting. And it's not clear that many of the ethical challenges they pose are different in kind from those that affect any news organization as it covers a major advertiser (or, in the case of non-profits, a donor). All of journalism's funding mechanisms are ethically fraught, and as publications become less and less confident about their ability to attract revenue, those tensions inevitably increase.
Any time money changes hands on a matter of public or political interest, we get suspicious—no less so when the media is involved then when a politician is the recipient. But transparency is the best way to address and soothe these suspicions. Readers deserve to know where the salon money comes from, and they deserve a full accounting of what sponsors are receiving in exchange for their support. As one commenter wrote at The Atlantic's Web site, "I still like to know who is buying me my news and editorials, since I am apparently not paying for it myself." "Trust us" isn't good enough for the government. It shouldn't be good enough for journalists, either.

Directors/writers/ producers Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, ably supported by cinematographer Martyn Colbeck and film editor Andy Netley, stitch together a narrative out of many separate pieces. As a short making of snippet that plays beside the closing credits demonstrates, this was a labor of love, as well as of endurance and persistence. The crew had to push through deep forest an hour every day in order to reach the group of 35 or so chimpanzees that the story follows. Im guessing that the post production back in London was equally demanding, albeit less painful. (We watch as the crew gets attacked by bees, bitten by army ants, dodges poisonous snakes, and generally slogs its way through the Ivory Coasts terrain.)
They focus on young Oscar, a three-month-old chimp who is about as cute as it gets. He clings to his mother, Isha, and stays clear of the leader of the pack, Freddy, who is aptly described as large and in charge. We watch a typical daythe result of many months of filmingas the group searches for food, raises its young, and works as a team to protect and survive in its favored territory. A neighboring band under the leadership of Scar, provides the antagonist, appearing at intervals to threaten the peaceful existence of Oscars group.
At one critical point, during a raid by Scars groupalways termed mob, or gang or thugsIsha is injured and, evidently, killed by a leopard, another constant danger for the chimps. Here and in a segment showing the band hunting, killing, and eating a monkey, the film refuses to prettify life in the forest, though it is careful to avoid close attention to the goriest moments. The G rating is consistently appropriate.
Most remarkable, perhaps, is that Freddy adopts the young orphan Oscar, an action totally out of keeping with normal chimpanzee behavior, the filmmakers marvel. (I suspect that his doing so gave the humans the basic idea for the story.) The unusual relationship involves the giant Freddy grooming, carrying, and protecting the little boy. At the films climax, Freddy fends off Scar in a mano a mano combat, filmed for excitement and enhanced by Nicholas Hoopers musical score.
I have to mention what a visual treat Chimpanzee is: helicopter shots of the forest canopy, the gorgeous waterfalls, the deep green of the treesall these sometimes give the appearance of being filmed in 3-D. So you get the pleasure without the annoying glasses. And Tim Allens understated narration, reading from a script that resembles a childrens book, adds greatly to the pleasure. (Allen fans will also pick up some clever allusions to Home Improvement, his long-running TV comedy.)
Chimpanzee will not be for everybody, but it could be for anybody. The kids get restless at points where the narrative drags; however, the adults may find these moments thoughtful and engaging. The filmmakers paste on a moral about teamwork bringing down brute force, though the story doesnt really justify that. Still, it cant hurt for the kids to hear it and have it delivered in an entertaining way.

The UK's fastest-growing regional news network
See the full forecast for your area.
Sponsored by Britelite.
Rosherville Church of England Primary School, in London Road, Northfleet, was found to have made satisfactory progress during a follow-up visit by government inspectors.
It was put in special measures by Ofsted after an inspection in February 2012.
Ofsted grades schools as either outstanding, good, requiring improvement or inadequate. Inadequate schools are then graded as either having serious weaknesses which require significant improvement which inspectors feel can be achieved through monitoring, or are placed in special measures, as they need more help.
In his latest report, inspector David Scott said: "Year 6 pupils have made good progress in their reading and are making faster progress than their peers nationally. Across the school, progress in reading is also improving more rapidly.
"Pupils' attitudes to learning and behaviour in lessons and around the school continue to be generally positive and continue to improve.
"This demonstrates the success of senior leaders' drive to raise expectations and engender a positive work ethic."
He noted that the youngest children had made strides in communication and language as well as their personal, social and emotional development and that they settle in well.
The hard work and positive steps taken in a short time by staff was also singled out for praise.
Mr Scott said:"In a very short period of time, the principal and vice-principal through their determination and vision for the school have created a welcoming and calm ethos."
However, marking was criticised.
Mr Scott said: "In some pupils' books seen during the inspection, spelling errors were left uncorrected and poor presentation was tolerated in too many cases.
"Also, when marking had identified areas for improvement these were not followed up to check if pupils have fully understood them and, in several cases, errors persisted for a number of weeks."
It was also said that there were not enough opportunities for pupils to write at length and that some children had problems with writing, weak spelling, punctuation and grammar skills.

Hello all,
My neighbor's hive has wax moths. I'm going to look into mine this weekend--if I find them, what do I do? How do you get rid of wax moths? Thanks, Taz |

taz, Waxmoths are usually a sign that you have a weak hive for one reason or another, so there is usually an underlying problem. A strong, healthy hive will keep them in check. I had a hive that had a moth problem. They had destroyed 3 deep brood frames. I stripped the hive down to the bottom board. They had gotten their start between the bottom board and varroa screen. I scraped them clean and went over quickly with a torch. Then I took the good strong frames of bees and brood and put them in a clean deep and added some frames of bees and brood from my strong hives and requeened. The old queen was past her prime and I waited too long to replace her. |
Thanks, Tony. My friend who got wax moths has put his hive on top of his roof. Since we live in San Diego, the temperatures on a rood soar during the summer, and I swear that this must put great stress on his hive, which may account for why it got wax moths. By contrast, my hives are on cinder blocks eighteen inches off the ground and get morning and early afternoon sun, but late afternoon shade. I think this is ideal, and the strength of my hives would tend to bear this out. I had heard that sometimes wax moths or small hive beetles (SHB) will bore into so many cells that the honey will drip out the front entrance. When I saw something sticky on the sides of my front entrances, I freaked out, but a closer inspection today shows that this sticky stuff is just propolis. I'm not sure why, but for almost a year, my hives used as little propolis as they could get away with. Previously, I was able to crack apart two supers with a hive tool and a simple flick of my wrist. Not any longer. Today I was able to take apart the top super with no difficulty since I just put it on, and I could get off the second one down, but below that, they'd sealed them so tight that I couldn't get them off by myself. I'll have to get a friend to help, because I really want to get down to the brood box and see if there is any evidence of wax moths or SHB, but given the strength of the hives, I'm thinking my girls are probably OK. |

I have one hive using so much propolis that if I pry off the inner cover on a hot day it looks like someone's having a taffy pull |

Growers rely on plastic mulches to control weeds, warm soil and improve crop quality, but disposal costs and other issues have produced keen interest in biodegradable alternatives.
Some products already on the market include paper and compostable cornstarch-and-biodegradable polymer blends. Cost and longevity remain grower concerns, however.
By reducing herbicide applications and trips through the field, "Compostable [mulch] is a huge step in the right direction," says Tom Thornton, co-owner of Cloud Mountain Farm & Nursery in Everson, Wash.
But, he says, "If we have to put in the labor to pull it up at the end of the season, whether to take it to a landfill or a compost facility, that's unacceptable."
Thornton serves on the advisory board for a new multistate research project on biodegradable mulches and high-tunnel production systems. He's eager to find cost-effective ways for his own operation to control weeds without herbicides.
Project researchers in Washington, Texas and Tennessee are comparing two cornstarch-based mulches and an experimental polylactic acid-based material designed to biodegrade. The trials use two control mulches: the standard black plastic and a biodegradable paper mulch.
Other researchers are pursuing a biodegradable plastic, including Michael Orzolek, professor of vegetable crops at Penn State University in University Park, and Mathieu Ngouajio, associate professor of horticulture at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
Economics and materials sciences, too
The combined mulch and high-tunnel research, now ending its first growing season, tackles not only horticultural aspects but also taps experts in economics and materials sciences. Project director Debra Inglis, a Washington State University professor and Extension plant pathologist at the university's Mount Vernon Research Center, says growers want to adopt sustainable practices, such as replacing plastics with renewable materials.
The trials in Mount Vernon; Lubbock, Texas; and Knoxville, Tenn., will test differences in crop yield and quality and in mulch degradation in widely different growing conditions, Inglis says. As a plant pathologist, she'll be checking for any signs of root or foliar disease variations.
The mulch tests use plots planted with tomatoes.
Doug Hayes, professor of chemical and biosystems engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, leads the project's work on a new spun-bonded nonwoven film of polylactic acid. Tiny but strong fibers create a flexible material that should hold up through the growing season, Hayes says.

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this in. My wife and I are buying 20 acres. We want to live on the property while we build our dream home, which we predict will take 3-4 years with the design, permitting and construction. So I'm looking for ideas that will help us live on the land with our 2 kids while we do this. I found a manufactured home builder and it looks like I can get one of those for about $90,000 installed. It's a 3 BR 2 Bath. Wondering the following: -Do I have other options I haven't thought of? -Is there a market for a home like this after we're done with it? -Water and sewer, electricity, etc. I figured I'd need all of this for the dream home so I'd install it first and use it?? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You would be far, far better off buying a used manufactured home to live in while you build your dream home. You will not be able to recoup more than about half of your investment in a new manufactured home. So, buy a used one for a third of the cost and it won't lose as much value. The cost of moving it will to your acreage will depend on the distance more than anything else, so search close to home. |

We are doing this too. Husband myself and our 3&1 years olds. We lucked out with a conection to be able to get a modular building from a contractor friend for 3k. The building was a school class room 24x40 ( 960 sqf), has electricy just needs to be hooked up to our power. We paid 4k to have it moved and set, we will build interior walls add a kitchen and bath to make liveable. Total expense will come in around 15-17k. |

Fear Before sends out a plea for help
Categories: Music News
A few weeks ago, Jacobi was waylaid by a freak accident while the outfit was on tour in Australia -- a trip that he accompanied the act on on his own dime, no less. After a show in Melbourne, some folks ventured on a rooftop to watch the sun rise, when Jacobi inadvertenly stepped on a "weak point in the roof," which gave way, and he plummeted 25 feet onto the concrete, with only a bicyle to break his fall. Miraculously, Jacobi didn't sustain any head or spinal injuries, but he break some ribs, fracture his arm and his pelvis and punctured a lung. And now, the members of Fear Before have taken up his cause.
Due the severity of his injuries, Jacobi stayed behind in Australia and has been saddled with a mountain of medical bills. Fear Before and Equal Vision records has put out the call for donations, which are being accepted via PayPal to help absorb some of that debt. If you can pitch in, no donation is considered too small.

Hitting the gym can be a daunting task and sometimes requires a strong level of motivation, but the K-TOR Power Box can ensure one gets their daily workout for they'll have to pedal this machine in order to charge their mobile devices.
A little old-fashioned, this innovation is a surefire way to get the blood pumping and give one something to do while the phone is charging. The K-TOR Power Box takes a turn towards the past with its minimalist design. Not meant to be a flashy device, it just serves as a solid reminder that, yes, there are more ways than hitting the gym to keep the calories burning. Getting rid of conventional chargers and instating the K-TOR power box in the office might result in a few more heads turning while walking the hallways.

Real Estate and Housing
The residential portfolio of NYU Langone Medical Center offers housing options for its students, and eligible faculty and staff. Those eligible to apply for medical center housing include medical students, MD.-PhD. students, Sackler PhD. students, and full-time house staff, nurses, post-doctoral research fellows, and faculty. Due to limited housing inventory, only students are assured of receiving housing offers.
