Can someone tell me what fitting I need to hook up the water feed to my fridge please?
It was originally fed with 1/4" copper tubing connected to the fridge by means of a 1/4" compression fitting. Now I have 3/8" LLDPE tubing run to the fridge and I'd like to know what John Guest fitting to use to connect the two. I had an old JG female adapter flare - (3/8 x 1/4 flare) but it doesn't want to thread properly on the fridge. It seems to try to cross-thread immediately so I'm not forcing it. Do I have the right fitting? If not, what should I use? TIA
Follow-Up Postings:
Use threaded fittings, not push on. Do not use a 'saddle valve' either. |
I just bought a new stainless steel fridge last month. I tried hooking the water line up myself but couldn't. I just called my local plumbers. They are Thousand Oaks Plumbing. Here is their web address www.1000oaksplumbing.com. They completely the job quickly and affordably. |
Ummmmmm. . . . ematthews - I'll ignore the fact that you just signed up on GW today as most spammers do and simply point out that the service call for a California based plumber to come to an Ohio address would be just a wee bit outside what I am willing to pay. But thanks for your concern ;) |

HollywoodLife.com spoke with Dr. Robi Ludwig, who tells us that the reports that Kristen isn't showering are a big indication that she's 'depressed' and her way of getting angry with herself for hurting Rob, so sad!
Kristen Stewart is so upset over cheating on Robert Pattinson that she wants to punish herself, according to top psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig.
"Kristen is punished herself by not taking care of herself," Dr. Ludwig explains. "She's grieving and wondering if she's lovable, and will anyone love her?"
But Dr. Ludwig explains that as long as this doesn't go on for more than a few weeks, Kristen will be okay.
"If this goes on for two weeks or longer, it's possibly a clinical depressive state and she should be evaluated," she tells us. "But right now, it might be more of an extremem depressive reaction, and it's understandable under the circumstances."
Do you think you'd handle this breakup the same as K-Stew?

Kristen doesn't deserve your sympathy
Posted at 5:53 PM on August 10, 2012
I don't feel one once of sympathy for Kristen Stewart…she is rich, famous and had one of the most desired men in the world AND SHE BLEW IT!!! This girl deserves EVERYTHING that is being thrown her way. I never cared for Kristen, but now I really despise her! I will avoid any films she does in the future. I hope she leaves Hollywood for good!
The poor girl probably hates herself.

Liberty Ross and her sleazeball husband are attending counselling to help fix their marriage. I think Rob and Kristen should do the same thing. All the photos are showing Kristen and the sleazeball just kissing, there was NO SEX. You know what gets me is the fact that people are saying that Rob and Kristen have split. Rob has not come out and said it is officially over. If it is he should be a man and do the decent thing and tell Kristen it is over so that she can get on with her life. He should also tell his followers as well than everyone can stop speculating. He is apparently drunk dialling her and his friends don't approve. But this has nothing to do with his friends, why can't they see that.? If he is doing this than that goes to show he still loves her and he just wants to hear her voice because he misses her. If he didn't he wouldn't be drunk dialling her. In fact if he did not still have feelings for her he would ignore her and when she rings him he should tell her to leave him alone he doesn't want to see or speak to her. But he hasn't form what I have read. He has the right to take his time as the decision her makes needs to be the right one for him and kristen.
People really need to let this go now. But the media and mags seem to be rehashing everything and they don't seem to want to let it go. How much more can they hurt these 2 people. I think it is really sad and I feel for both of them. I don't look at Rob & Kristen as BELLA & EDWARD but as 2 young people who have a relationship that they want to enjoy away from the public eye. Yes kristen made a terrible terrible mistake, but life is not perfect and it will go on but she seems to be paying for it. I think she has learnt her lesson and I don't think she will cheat ever again.
Some people don't seem to think that but going through what she is going through and all the backlash she is getting I don't truly don't think she will ever contemplate doing it again knowing the hurt she has caused to the man she truly loves Rob.
So come on people leave them alone. this is their life. They both need their privacy to sort this out.

My third (the same post) and i' really off
I have never commented anything.This is my first post. I have seen "Cosmopolis", and have to say that film is amazing. I think can even say that's probably the best of Cronenberg's films. These are not "living pictures" but real cinema. Mr Robert Pattinson… very, very good. Wish a great succes to this movie.
Why do I write?
Because I saw the pain on both young faces.
All this mess… "cheating" I think you can say so if somebody intend to cheat, but was she?!
I really doubt. I don't know what was the purpose of this meeting, but it was him who called, it was him who moved to the place she lived – he just hunted her (poor little young naive creature, she's thought she can handle all this situation but against her stood clever fox – twice her age, much more experienced, her past and future director, who's known what he's wanted).
Photos… (a few, chosen to be high paid). Take a few photos, put them in the order you want and using them you can tell a lot of stories, different at all. On the bridge (or wherever it is) she seems for me very uncomfortable and trying to get rid of him (pleasantly or change everything into joke) – that's what I see and this is my story.
In the car, showing her muscles, her biceps…, yes it's really way to cheat.
Yes, she shouldn't let him touch her biceps… (her fault, she hasn't punch him or kicked out of the car) and then some jokes, some teasing… and gone with the wind. That's why she feels so guilty, but under what circumstances she was?? Naive looser at the begining (always told to be strong, used to handle with everything. But not this time).
She's left all her threads behind and thrown herself bleeding at the pile – all wolfs at her.
The predator stands by – not so juicy.
I don't even want to hear she ever was loved. It's easy to love person you're proud of, much harder to love sb. in sin (but what is love for?)
My heart is bleeding when I see all the dirt she doesn't deserve. She's taken too much at her shoulders.
What beautiful innocent soul, brave, amazing Woman, alone facing all the world as she is herself (not innocent).
I love her.

Ok she made a mistake and do you honestly think she hasn't learned from it. She has lost someone important to her and she's the one recieving all the hate. Come on no-one is perfect. She's only human. The problem is a lot of fans of The Twilight Saga' see her and Rob as Bella and Edward. And their not. We know all about Edward and Bella's romance but nothing about Rob and Kristen. We should be giving our support to them if we truly are their fans. Hasn't she recieved way more than her share of hate. She must know that even when she is forgiven for it no-one will ever let her forget about it.
Posted at 7:07 AM on August 9, 2012
Um would like to know if this "therapist" that Kristen is seeing is a real therapist, because if so she is breaching patient dr confidentiality by talking to the press. She shouldnt be saying even a syllable about Kristen. Also, Kris and Rob will do what they have to do if they are left with making the decision on their own. Advice for both though through all of this you will find out who your true supporters are, only listen to them.
Posted at 8:04 PM on August 8, 2012
Come on Robert Pattinson"" for goodness sake!! u think you also do not have your cheatings too.. ?? True love means able to forgive and accept the other half as what she is … Be a man and help your other half in her miseries now !! Rather than wallowing in sheer gossips and scandals … Choose what you want ….if happiness is ….
Grow a pair
Posted at 5:00 PM on August 9, 2012
I agree he's just a veggie …he will not protect her….I hate him for that.. he's a wimp….pussy….Kristen is the Boss in their relationship and we she fell he does not know how to lead…….I don't know what she sees in him really…Hmmmm..maybe she doesn't see it…she had a Emotional affair with some one else because Rob can't man up…he is a follower not a leader…she needs a man who will stay by her side when she is getting screwed by the Media…look she has issues but forgive and comfort goes a long way Wussy Robert…

Stop laying the blame on at the feet of a 22 year old girl, there was also a 41 year old marrried man that cheated on his wife, she cheated on her boyfriend. Why does the blame go to the woman. My father cheated on my mother, my sisters husband cheated on her, I blame my father and my brother in law for their affairs. Given the chance I would still have a brother in law that I loved dearly and two little girls still have there daddy, my sister was left heartbroken by her husband, the man she was willing to give a second chance to, but he let his guilt be the easy way out and stayed with the woman who was also married and pregnant to her own husban
There is no need for this vicious name calling. She is none of those things.
Leave them alone and lets hope they will be able to talk and repair their relatonship, you can see they do love each other and they deserve some priavcy to sort their lives out.
Or why not do what they do in some countries bury her to her neck and stone her, will that make you all happy. Because seriously people deserve forgiveness and an opportunity to make amends in their lives. If he was such a good looking young man would you care?
Yes they both did the wrong thing and hurt the ones they love, but it is so seriously none of our business!
Think about some of your own deep dark secrets, would you like them airred and commented on in the public arena.?

not that what she did was an excuse, but just remember the spotlight they are both in, the negativity they have both had, and the already have always been kristen haters, all because of jealous fans, and last her age, she has come a long ways, and she made a mistake, in the heat of the moment, that could of been blown way out of portion. Also no offense, but if this was reversed, we all know Rob would be on his knees begging for forgiveness and who says kristen would of gone as far as he has. Most guys tend to act like their souls have been torn apart when the girl does something wrong. I think Rob needs time alone with out influence and figure out what he wants. considering when he is drunk he calls the women he loves.
Posted at 7:43 AM on August 7, 2012
While Kristen Stewart is sitting there feeling sorry for herself because she potentially lost Rob. I doubt she has any idea (or even cares) about the pain and suffering she and Rupert caused Ruperts two kids that are stuck in the middle of this dilemma. There are no sites expressing their sympathies to the wife and kids of Rupert. Its just all, poor KS, poor RP, poor Robsten. If kristen and Robert were not the notorious Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga films, would you all still give a damn about them? I used to be a big fan of Kristens before the twilight movies, but I lost all my respect for her when the fame got to her head and she became a person with a big ego and a big "i dont care about anything" attitude to go along with it.
Posted at 7:15 AM on August 7, 2012
It takes two in a relationship. When someone cheats, there's a reason behind it. There's an unhappiness or a loss of something that held the person there in love. I wish people would stop calling her a slut, whore, trampire, etc. What she did was inexcusable, yes, there is never an excuse to cheat. Lets keep calm and remember she's not the only person who did wrong. Rupert did too. And twihards remember, the loss of Robsten doesn't negate the magic of Bella and Edward as written by Stephenie Meyer.
Posted at 7:20 AM on August 9, 2012
I am sure if you look at the people who are calling her these names, have always called her that they just think they have a real reason for it now. From day one there have been "Kristen Haters" because female fans are jealous of the fact she is with Rob. To me they arent true fans, just teens who are living in a fantasy world. A true fan will see both sides, and see that is was a kiss, not like she jumped into bed with the man and a REAL relationship will look at the whole situation and deal with that. I think Rob and Kristen are going with the public instead of how they really feel and the reporters are jumping to conclusions, as they always have with this couple.
Posted at 12:37 AM on August 7, 2012
LOL Who are the sources???? I doubt anybody close to Kristen would talk about Kristen and how she is doing right now. Nobody knows anything. Maybe Kristen don't even want to be with Rob anymore. Maybe she still sees Rupert S. R S is not with his wife either, so maybe they are actually in love. Who knows! As for Rob he obviously moved on since he was seen out in good spirits and according to people in the bar chatting up girls. I guess he catches up, what he missed in the last 3 years. I just worry that he will end up in Rehab. He was drinking much more before he got together with Kristen, and according to reports he's drinkig heavy again.
Posted at 9:20 PM on August 6, 2012
Kristen must pull herself together and stop punishing herself. What's done cannot be undone, learned from the lesson and she can be a better person. She's stil young, many more wonderful things waiting for her.
Whatever going to happen, I believe she can do it!!! Pull yourself up girl….(Never say never…)

The experience of a few "cool fronts" and we all get excited about fall. We think of turning leaves, the cooler weather, and Halloween's scary events. Wow, did this year fly by. But in the rush to kick start Q4 of '09 we often overlook one of Mother Nature's greatest gifts, THE FISHING. The tenth month of the calendar year is a messenger for much of our wildlife and fisheries. The light cool fronts that make their way to our state let nature know it is time to prepare for winter. Patterns in the animal and fish world change, and those who want to catch fish in Southeast Louisiana would be wise to do the same. Avid anglers often speak of transition fishin' this time of year. A time when fishing hot spots along the coast and just off the coast begin to cool down, and the fishing inside the marsh heats up. The "transition" means a wealth of opportunity for anglers with smaller boats. The protected waters of the state's interior marshes are a safe haven for the... Read More »

If there is a theme for fishing this month it would be "Variety." The Lake Pontchartrain basin is on fire with fish this month. September is a month when the water in the lake is often a little clearer than usual and the salinity rises enough to attract a long list of great fish. Read More »

With a little good weather, you can watch hundreds of boats leave from many of Louisiana's marinas and launches. Each rig is loaded with tackle, bait, and anglers sporting a healthy dose of motivated spirits. Yet, at the end of the day, only a small percentage of those boats come back with a full box of fish. Now I enjoy a good boat ride as much as anyone, but if catching fish is the goal, the more running you do, the less fishing you do, and more than likely, the less catching you do. Like most things in life, a little preparation before you leave for your fishing trip, can go a long way. In a short space let's take a practical approach to catching more fish. Info is Gold A wealth of information is out there. Each week the news channels offer fishing reports on television; mine is on WDSU Channel 6, Fridays at noon. There are many locally produced TV fishing shows offering a wealth of information. The BIGFISH TV show comes on Saturdays... Read More »
For those who work outside, there are days in July when each breath seems to hold less air than the last, your eyes are blinded by sweat, and your body won't keep the water you drink any longer than if you just poured it over your head. But as the legendary angler Barry Brechtel would say, "Here's the good news". There is a golden moment most July days, when those who love to fish can get on the water and catch a box of fish along with a phenomenal sunrise, without breaking a sweat. This time of year, speckled trout and redfish are probably more cooperative than any other. Coastal fishing is accessible for just about everyone. From the bank, a small boat or the latest and greatest in Bay Boat technology. The sun comes up early in July, with the real heat setting in just before noon. An angler leaving the dock at the break of dawn can get five or six hours of fishing done before the afternoon stifling, "is something burning", take your breath away heat,... Read More »
I wasn't born in a boat, but it was one of the few moments in my life I didn't spend in one. My father defined enthusiasm for hunting and fishing and started dragging me along right away. I have never gotten a straight answer on whether he took me because he wanted to, or if my Mom left him no other option. Regardless, every Friday, we would pack up and head to Lee's Launch on Highway 90 for a weekend at the Roseau Club. A 100+ year old "camp" that we loved and shared with friends and the resident critters of Rabbit Island. It was here I caught my first fish, shot my first duck, and had my first boat and motor all before the ripe old age of 7. At the time, my best friend Roger Lightfoot and I would fish in that 16 foot flat with a 7.5 horsepower motor all day long. The rule was to always stay in sight of the camp. Our eyes must have been much better than theirs as we seemed to always be in trouble for venturing too far away. We worked feverishly to out fish the "old men"... Read More »
Louisiana summers don¹t let the cold season come easily. Winter fights its way into our state like a chain-smoker pedaling a one-speed bike up a steep hill. However, when the time comes for our return to the summer season, we generally experience something completely different. Bounce would be a better term for our Spring season. We bounce from temperatures in the low 40s to the mid 80s. Barometric pressures are never steady, and a clear sky in the morning rarely guarantees it won't rain by lunch. The careful observer might say, "Yes but what about the winds? Aren't the winds constantly blowing in the spring?" Sure, the wind speed stays in the teens as we head into summer. However, choosing which direction they will come from can be like finding that certain something you put in a "safe" place so you won't lose it. For the avid angler, we bounce off walls with "spring" fever. We, who love the rod and reel, know that in April the fish are feeling Mother Nature's urgings to breed and feed. We know the baitfish and shrimp that migrate to warm offshore waters in the winter are returning to the coast and bringing some fat fish behind them. We know the smaller Speckled Trout and Redfish that winter in the marsh for safety are now bravely traveling into open water to meet the incoming shrimp. We know all of these things would mean great fishing, if the weather would just stay consistent for a few days, but it doesn't. It bounces from one extreme to another.... Read More »
It is not uncommon for one to know his or her I.Q. these days, as there are many tests available to assess this. Whether this information has any value is another question because the number apparently has little bearing on your success in life. There are as many geniuses, or genii (usage determined by which Mensa chapter you belong), super-sizing fast food as there are slow thinkers carrying oversized money bags to the bank. Read More »
Louisiana winters pale in comparison with our northern neighbors, but if we have a winter season, February would be the heart of it. Sure we get cold spells near the holidays or an occasional snow flurry, however, even in the depth of our "winter" we often see days that fill the rest of the country with envy. Read More »

It's that time of year again when prom is on the minds of every teen girl. Many have bought the tickets, booked the limo and, most importantly, picked out the perfect prom dress. It's all for the shear thrill of making everyone's heads turn as they roll up to the dance floor. But no matter how elaborate or lavish the dress is, chances are it won't be as quite a showstopper as these non-traditional prom gowns.
The 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards took place last night (Jan. 18), with Hollywood's A-List turning up in some terrific ensembles.
Winter will officially be here on Dec. 21, but it came a little earlier this year, weather-wise. Winter might be bitter and miserably cold, but it's also a time for being fashionably bundled up.
Jennifer Lawrence is widely regarded as one of the best-dressed young stars in Hollywood. We can't argue. Her ensembles are usually magnificent. But then she wore this strange dress with a sheer window built into the skirt -- one that didn't need to be there at all.
Thirty-eight-double-D is about to meet 140 characters.
It's sweater weather. Therefore, any fall fashion hunt will include the search for a warm, fuzzy and cozy sweater, or two or three!
Cross-dressing gets a whole new look in a bizarre new trend sweeping the internet.
Before you head off to that weekend-long music festival, you better remember to pack your bear costume! At least if the festival is Coachella, you'd better. People like to get weird when they go there, so we picked some of our favorite strange outfits and fashion trends from the festival to share with you here. Between these and being able to see the shows on YouTube, you can pretend you had several hundred extra dollars on hand to blow on an extravagant weekend.
You may not look like a million bucks in this new shirt, but you'll spend almost that much.
When it comes to taking fashion risks, awards shows are the ideal time to just buck up and go for it. There are like, millions of people watching, after all. That being said, it does take a whole 'lotta guts to ere on the side of crazy couture, but this year's Oscars were bound to have some of those fashion risks, right? You betcha! Check out the craziest getups from the Red Carpet.

My grandfather just passed away at 1 am today, Feb 22nd. I guess we all kind of saw this coming — he had been fighting hard with pneumonia in the hospital. He just had a hip replacement about a month ago and things went fine — then out of the blue he had trouble breathing and had to go into the hospital. Things weren't going well, then they changed his antibiotics and he improved a little. Then it just ended.
Even though part of me was preparing for this moment, the recent improvements kind of disarmed me a little, and I feel taken by surprise.
From my uncle, on Feb 20:
Aaparently, they had Dad off the vent today for an hour and a half!
This is good… he was conscious to a degree…. and free of the horrid/wonderful ventilator for a period.
Sad to hear they had to put it back in, but you can imagine how perky you'd be after what he's been thru.
Then this morning, only two days later:
Bad news.
Dad/Grandpa passed away a little past 1 AM tonight.
He had 83 good years, and was an integral part of a great family.
He'll be missed.
More to follow.
Right now, I'm listening to Mozart's Requiem in D Minor, which seems fitting considering Grampa's love of classical music. He also really loved Swing and Jazz as well. When I was younger, he used to make me cassette mix tapes with swing and classical music on it. I liked a lot of it, but I don't think I understood it as well as I do now. In retrospect I'm really glad that he introduced me to all of that. In the recent years, I had been the one giving him music — I introduced him to Diana Krall's music a few years back, with her "Live in Paris" DVD (an excellent Jazz / R&B performance), and that's kind of been our "inside thing" every Xmas. He and Grammy took our family to the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular when I was younger; I remember that being a lot of fun.
When he was in the hospital, and still conscious, my Mom told me that he was really scared. I remember a time when I was young, probably younger than 10, and we were visiting Grammy and Gramp in NJ. I was in bed in the upstairs bedroom and I was scared of something or other — I got scared of the dark and had a lot nightmares back then. Product of an active imagination I suppose. I was calling out for my mom, which was almost a nightly routine when we were away from home. I heard someone coming up the stairs, and I saw Grampa come through the door. He sat down on the white woolen sheets next to me, his face partially illuminated, or perhaps silhouetted, by the nightlight in the corner. He asked me what was wrong and I told him the usual spiel about being afraid of the dark, monsters in the closet, etc etc. Instead of the usual "it's going to be alright" mantra, or telling me a story, as Mom and Grammy both did, Grampa told me something very different. This is a paraphrazation of what he said:
Many years ago, when I was serving in World War II, they stationed me in an abandoned city in Germany. They wanted me to stake out this area to watch for returning German troops. All I had was a rifle and my backpack, and the entire town was deserted. At night it was cold and dark. It was scary and I was scared, but I did it because I had to do it. And I was fine, nothing happened to me.
The memory of that night is very fuzzy, but I've kept it with me ever since.
To hear that the man, who once helped me address my fears, was scared, practically broke me down. It's hard to see someone you've always seen as so strong in a moment of weakness.
Grampa taught me many things, particularly with games. He taught me how to play Checkers, Chess, Poker, and many other card games. He used to record me on his reel-to-reel recorder and microphone, my catchphrase was "Gobblegobble fish sticks". I have no idea what that means or where it came from, but I think there are still some reels with that on them. He was always so supportive of me, particularly with my musical ventures. He really loved Benny Goodman — when I was (forced to) take up Clarinet in elementary school, he sent me a lot of Benny Goodman tapes. Apparenly the clarinet I had (a Bb clarinet) was the same type Benny uses. When I eventually took up percussion in 6th grade (because that's what I wanted), he sent me cassettes with Jean Croupa. He bought my first drum stool and a floor tom, and several practice books for both snare drum and drumset. He bought me a calculus tutorial book / video because I was having a tough time in Calc in college.
He used to send me letters and newsclippings all the time about stuff. Some of them I would read, but I remember when I was living at home I would get so many of them that they would often pile up on the bookshelves in my room. I think in the past few years, probably partly because of his depression, he hasn't felt very useful. I understand how he could feel like that, having been there many times myself, but it was far from the truth. He was a role model for me (and others).
Last year the whole Westerdale clan (18 of us in all) went to Cancun for a Family vacation of sorts. They had a jazz band playing down at one of the restaurants in the resort, so Grampa and I went down there by ourselves and had dinner together and just talked. It was really great to just hang out with him.
At the very least, I can be happy that he got to meet my wife this past xmas, that I spoke to him nearly every week, and that I had 27 great years with him. I'll miss you Grampa.

One blog that helped as I started my search was this one by Young House Love. Blogger Sherry and her husband recently had their first child, and she did some extensive research.
One of the first steps I'm taking toward having a healthy pregnancy and baby is trying to pare down my purchases in the first place. This is my first child, and I've read people's advice online talking about what they would do differently. Many of them say: Buy less stuff before the baby is born. That is one of my goals, but I also want to spread out the purchases of must-have items so we're not forced into a pre-baby spending spree.
One of the cribs she found was from the MDB product line. Sherry wasn't sure whether it contained MDF (medium-density fiberboard), which almost always contains formaldehyde-based glues. I thought I would email the company and see if I could get a response, and I did. They said that all MDB products are made with solid wood except those with drawers, which are made using particleboard. Because the Modo 3-in-1 does not have drawers, it is made with solid wood. The products also don't contain lead and do meet stringent European emission standards. Currently on sale for $379 on Overstock.com, the Modo 3-in-1 seems like a fairly safe bet.
My husband gets the credit for finding this last pick, which is probably top in the running for us at the moment. The Argington Bam Bam crib's wood construction includes E-Zero birch plywood meaning there are zero formaldehyde emissions. The wood contained in the product is harvested sustainably and the glues, stains and finishes are all 100 percent nontoxic and low-VOC. For $449, you get the full set, which includes a bassinet that converts to a crib that converts to a toddler bed, so it's a complete nontoxic package for a reasonably low price.
My first shopping task is finding a crib. A sleep space is among the most important items to me in terms of the health of my baby. Obviously, babies spend a lot of time sleeping, and they have delicate immune systems, so breathing in the toxic chemicals found in much conventional furniture has the potential to damage their developing systems much more than it might in an adult. I want to avoid formaldehyde-based glues, which, in general, means avoiding pressed wood products. I want a low-VOC finish and I want a mattress made of healthy, nontoxic materials.
These are my top three picks for healthy cribs at the moment. I'll update more as I continue to investigate, but I'd love to hear your feedback on healthy crib options. Thanks!

The DT 790, with dynamic microphone (hypercardioid), is specially designed with camera men and sound engineers in mind, while the DT 797, with condenser microphone (cardioid), has been developed for use by commentators in live broadcasting situations (i.e. live sporting events).

The sound insulating housing and soft-skin ear pads provide superb isolation from ambient noise and the new pivoting goose neck microphone boom makes sure the dynamic microphone can always be optimally adjusted into any required position. The microphone boom can be used at left or right side or can be moved into standby (upper) position. The single-sided cable will be available with a wide variety connectors to accommodate any application.

State Symbols and Official Adoptions
The North Carolina General Assembly adopted its first state symbol in 1885 with legislation recognizing the official State Flag. Since that time, the Legislature has adopted more symbols over time, from the State Dog to the State Beverage to the State Vegetable. Some symbols are emblems or iconic representations of the state's history and culture, like the flag. Others represent the state's unique natural heritage, like the Cardinal and the Venus Fly Trap, or elements that have been vital to sustaining people or the economy, like the Sweet Potato as the State Vegetable.
This list is updated as new state symbols are added.

A few questions worth your time if you have inventory.
- How many unique SKUs to you have in your warehouse? and…
- Do you have weight and dimensional data for each?
If your answer to #2 above is I am not sure, the more compelling questions become:
- How much does wasted space in storage racks cost per square/cubic foot?
- How much extra packaging material is being wasted on shipping, and how much money does that translate in both packing materials and shipping costs?
2 Examples of Optimizing SKU data for Storage and Packing Optimization
Using a Cubing Device to Capture Weights and Dimensions of Item, Inner Carton, and Master Carton with Amazing Accuracy
 Using a Weighing/Cubing Device for On-Demand Packaging
Conclusion: Weights and dimensional data are vital to inbound and outbound operations. Aside from labor and material costs, these devices also present a means to any green initiative to save natural resources and fuel costs. More information on the devices shows may be found at CubiScan's website.

French workers don't work: U.S. CEO to French Minister
Posted By John Latta On February 20, 2013 @ 11:33 am In The Roadologist | No Comments
Maurice Taylor, CEO of US tire maker Titan, writing to France's Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg, after the minister asked Titan to buy a Goodyear tire factory in Northern France that is about to shut down:
"I have visited that factory a couple of times. The French workforce gets paid high wages, but works only three hours. They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three hours," he wrote. "I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!" The story, originally in a French newspaper, comes via CNBC's Katy Barnato and has some other delicious lines. For example Taylor asks the minister "How stupid do you think we are?" and "You can keep the so-called workers." He's not done: he throws another major jab, boldly suggesting France's politics means that Michelin won't be making tires in France five years from now.
Taylor, as you might imagine, is known for his straight talking. My guess is that every American politician and diplomat that winces when they read his letter will also let a little smile play at the corner of the mouth. But Taylor raises eyebrows twice in his letter, once with his non-working blast then again by suggesting his company would prefer to buy a factory in the third world, pay basement wages then sell tires back to the industrial word. Including France. Delicious indeed.

Bruce Parker, who helped Carroll College become one of the most successful NAIA athletic programs in the nation, is returning home to Billings to become the new athletic director at Rocky Mountain College.
Parker, who grew up in Billings and has spent the past 11 years as the athletic director at Carroll, will be introduced by Rocky on Tuesday morning during a news conference in the Fortin Center's Hall of Fame Room.
Rocky president Bob Wilmouth confirmed the hiring of Parker on Monday evening.
"Bruce is on his way (to Billings) now, and tomorrow we're going to announce him," he said.
The school's press conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. The public is invited to attend.
Wilmouth said Parker "knows what a valuable asset Rocky Mountain College is to Billings and the region. He wanted to be a part of it. He wanted to be a part of Rocky Mountain College."
Both Rocky and Carroll are members of the NAIA Frontier Conference.
"I think it's great," Wilmouth said of landing Parker, who has been at the Helena school since July 2003. "I'm extremely excited. He's got some tough shoes to follow in Bobby Beers (who resigned in late March).
"It's another win for the college, just like our other recent hires."
Wilmouth praised Parker for his expertise when it comes to college athletics and his passion as an athletic director.
During Parker's watch at Carroll, the Saints claimed five of their six national championships in football.
Wilmouth said Parker interviewed late last week. He accepted the job over the weekend.
"We had an unbelievable amount of interest," Wilmouth said of vacancy at Rocky. "We had some top-notch candidates. It was a difficult choice, but Bruce fits exactly where we want to go with the college."
Parker has been recognized in the past as the NAIA national athletic director of the year. He was twice the NAIA Region I athletic director of the year and six times selected as the Frontier's top AD.
He graduated from Billings Senior in 1975 and Eastern Montana College (now MSUB) in 1979. He also served as the associate athletic director at Montana State University before going to Carroll.
Parker will replace Beers, who resigned in late March after spending a little more than five years on the job.
During the 2013-14 school year, Rocky won the Bandy Memorial All-Sports Award, which is given to the Frontier's most successful athletic program.
Carroll won the award the previous four years.
Wilmouth said he didn't know when Parker would begin work at Rocky.
"I think he'll want to start tomorrow, to be honest with you," Wilmouth said. "As soon as possible, I'm sure."

It's fun to re-visit the past from time to time and recall not just the events but the people who contributed to where we are now in terms of the hobby. Here is the story of a woman who contributed to my interest in radio and perhaps saved me from a juvenile arrest in the process.
A year before Murderin' Mike's Morse Message, my buddy and I almost got shot by police officers of the Tyler Texas Police Department. Well, maybe. Instead, I became the recipient of a police scanner thanks to the mother of a childhood friend.
Thank you, Mrs. W!
I was 13 years old at the time and my best friend was a neighborhood kid named Steve. He's the same guy referred to as Nutsack in the above-linked story, but I'll just call him Steve here – the poor feller's been through enough with that nickname.
In 1974, various subdivisions around our neighborhood surrounded 8-10 acres of wooded area. Those woods were our playground – within them, we had bike trails, "forts", one or two stashed Playboy magazines and plenty of birds and tin cans that became the targets of our Daisy BB guns.
One day, Steve showed up with some firecrackers his older brother had given him. Naturally, we went in search of matches and then rode into the woods, BB guns slung across our handlebars. We spent the next hour or so lighting the firecrackers and "blowing things up" with them – to the extent such a small thing can blow anything up. But they did make a loud noise and therein lay our upcoming problem.
Evidently, at least one responsible adult had seen us go into the woods with what appeared to be rifles. Loud bangs soon followed – what's a silly housewife to think…? The police get called with reports of several people in the woods shooting rifles – eyewitnesses have seen them! Send in the hounds!
The police showed up in force. Guns drawn (and not just their sidearms), lights flashing, multiple cars and numerous officers – the works.
All this for BB guns? This was Texas in the 70's – we're expected to have guns and didn't know what all the commotion could be about but we knew those cops weren't there to present us an award for our marksmanship. They hadn't seen us but were calling for us to come out unarmed, like something from a movie, and we darn sure weren't going to do it.
Instead, we hid our BB guns and what remained of our fireworks in some brush and then walked to the other side of the woods to make our exit there. As we approached, we heard more police on loudspeakers repeating what the other cops had been saying – to come out unarmed.
It was easy to see the cops long before they could possibly see us since their cars were parked right at the edge of the woods with their lights flashing like Capone himself was out and about.
In a future post I may write more about Steve, but for now, let me say this about him:
A bit earlier that year, Steve drove his father's El Camino over to my house after school with a grin on his face from ear to ear. His parents wouldn't be home for two hours, he said – let's go ride. I'm telling you that so you'll understand a bit about how much of a hell-raiser (and how early in life) Steve was. So surrender to these cops who thought we were maniacs with high-calibre rifles was not an option as long as Steve was in the picture.
We turned again to go looking for another exit, and we found one, through someone's backyard. Evidently the cops didn't stop to think that a couple of criminals with guns would actually tresspass to get out of the woods and instead only positioned themselves at entry points that abutted a street.
Soon, we're out of the woods and well on our way home.
You can imagine the talk the next day at school. Steve and I were strangely silent for the most part but to certain friends, we could no more keep quiet about it than you can prevent thunder from following lightning. A few days later, Gretchen, my little love interest, told me her mother wanted to talk with me. They lived just down the street and we always played together, along with all the other neighborhood kids.
Gretchen's mother – Mrs. W. – asked me if it was me in the woods that day. I told her yes, and then rushed to explain about the firecrackers and BB guns, but she cut me off and wouldn't let me finish. She had learned from Gretchen that it was us.
She told me she heard everything on a radio she had – a police scanner. I'd never heard of such an object before and couldn't believe that ordinary people could listen to the police. She showed me the scanner and, sure enough, we heard the police talking. She went on to further amaze me by telling me that she could also listen to the fire department and ambulances if she wanted to.
Then she asked me if I'd like to have the radio – that she never really used it and only turned it on that day when all the police were out and about. Of course I wanted it but I'd have to see if my parents would "loan" me the money. Then she told me she was only interested in a trade – my BB gun for her scanner.
It struck me as odd that a middle-aged housewife wanted a BB gun and it wasn't until I'd grown up that I realized the real reason for this trade – to save me from future trouble.
Gunless, I enjoyed that police scanner for a while. Thanks, in part I believe, to having it, Steve and I both developed an interest in radio going from the scanner to CB's and finally to our ham tickets – and meeting some very interesting characters along the way.
I wonder if Mrs. W still has my old Daisy…

I purchased this 'unknown' Philo Nov 2011.
Is it a a flower bud or new leaf? In one way it looks like a bud, on the other hand, the brown, paper-like cover resembles a new leaf. Thanks, Toni |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a leaf sheath. It will begin to shrivel and dry up as the nee leaf grows. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 9:12
If it's brown already, I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to pull it off and see what's under there. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 10:20
Rhizo, boo hoo..thought it might be a bud..lol.. Purple, gotta be strong. no peeking. lol. I was so happy finding what I thought to be a flower bud. Don't think I've ever had a Philo of this type, so didn't know what the UPO (unidentified plant object) happened to be. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 10:50
I wouldn't consider it peeking, just maintaining the plant, letting light on the good part. But assuming it's also crispy. Maybe not? |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 13:32
Oh Purple, shame, shame, shame on you...lol. j/k. I knew a woman who, when rooting cuttings or sowing seeds, HAD to move soil to see if roots formed. She and I traded, well, I sent her numerous cuttings, often from the same plants. I doubt the Cissus rooted by cuttings, 'type.' The thing is she'd root and pot cuttings but instead of waiting, she'd move soil to check for roots. Daily! In the meantime, by disturbing roots, her cuttings all died. She'd then ask for more. My Cissus was purchased at Rentokil Tropical Plants, a store I worked, in 1994. It grew beautiful, symmetrical. The last cutting I sent her did my poor plant in..It's alive, but looks horrible. The Stromanthe is history. I had it a little over 10-years. It was tall, 2' and full. Purple undersides and stripped silver and purple tops. Gone! Can't tell you the number of times I pleaded w/her to let cuttings be. Why check? If they're going to survive, great, but please stop disturbing roots. Like sentence two states, 'I knew a woman.' Anyway, when a cutting is rooting or seed germinating, it's best to let them be. Like the Beatle's said, 'Let it Be.' :) |

Generally with Philos the flower doesn't form in the growing tip. They develop in the leaf axils lower down. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 9:46
Oh Purple, shame, shame, shame on you...lol. j/k. Ouch, this feels undeserved, even in jest. I've not had one like that before, but assumed from Rhizo's comment it behaved similarly. I've always taken those leaf sheath things off my heart-leafs as soon as they will let go with a gentle tug, which is usually when it turns brown if I notice right away, when it's crispy for sure. I asked if it was crispy. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 12:37
Tropic, I've never seen a Philo in bloom...so flowers form on the bottom of the plant? Purple, I was KIDDING!!! |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 14:00
Ok, it just hit me the wrong way, gave me this mental picture of a finger wagging. :+) So, what's it doing now? |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 21:27
Hopefulauthor, not so much the bottom of the plant as off the side of the stem rather than from the top. Can be near the top, but not the top itself. The flowers are nothing to look at, just typical aroids, and some of the least impressive ones at that. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jun 27, 12 at 12:40
Purple..It's not doing anything, boo hoo. lol. Well, the leaf sheath fell off. Now it's just a ??? I was hoping ?? was a bloom..oh well, win some lose some. :) Tropic. I see. I think I do..lol. It's funny. Many times I've heard and said, 'X' flower is insignificant, but when a least impressive flower shows up, I get excited..lol. But, I know what you mean. They don't look like Roses or Orchids. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Jun 27, 12 at 20:59
They don't even look as good as a lot of other aroids. But as a comparison, much the same as Aglaonemas. Some Spaths have very nice flowers. I've got one that starts off large white and then over 6 to 8 weeks turns green. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Thu, Jun 28, 12 at 2:26
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Thu, Jun 28, 12 at 23:05
In principle they're the same. They have the same basic structure. But there are a lot of variations in shape and colour. If you google Amorphophallus titanum images you'll see the biggest, and I mean BIG! Spaths are bog plants, I've seen lots of them kept in shallow water, or in pots in water. But I think there's only one colour, that's white which can later turn to green. Your's look really nice. The variagated leaves look a bit like Dieffenbachia leaves. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Jun 29, 12 at 15:39
Howdy Tropic. I've seen Amorphophallus..They are gigantic..Wow..Wouldn't make a good house plant, and if in the garden would have to be dug in autumn.. For years, A allowed Spath soil to dry between waterings. I couldn't believe the change. It grew so nice, and flowered to boot. I like Spaths, but they're not my favorite in the plant world. Variegated is different. Attempted adding more varigated or colorful than green. But, you're right..they do well as bog plants... |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 0:16
I've got 8 different Amorphophallus including titanum which are still a bit too small to flower. One thing with titanum is it grows through the full 12 months, so no digging in autumn. My largest emerges in spring and grows right through to spring again. But the smaller ones (2) went for 18 months before one went dormant and the other is still going strong. They're an equatorial plant so they don't see a winter/summer divide in the year. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Jun 30, 12 at 14:35
Tropic, I've seen Amorphophallus before, but Googled titanum. OMG, it has the largest flower I'd ever seen, ever. Did your At's ever get that big? What about foliage? BTW, where are you located? You're probably in z8 or higher, so no need to dig in autumn. Here in IL, z5, an Amorphophallus would die when temps hit 32 and lower..single digits. Ex...3F. lol. Your screen name pretty much details your location..Somewhere 'Tropical Breeze', lol. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sun, Jul 1, 12 at 2:56
"Did your At's ever get that big?" LOL, I wish! No, my largest still needs a bit of growing, the 2 smaller are just 18 months old from seeds. They take about 7 years to flower, provided they get good treatment. My big one got broken by the wind last season. And, to add insult to injury, a branch fell on it later breaking off part of the leaf (the whole plant above ground is one leaf). It's spending its next growing season in a shade house - virtually no wind and no falling branches. I am in the tropics so cold (relatively speaking) isn't an issue. But I read from others growing Amorphophallus in colder climates they cover them over with deep mulch to insulate from cold, or do the digging bit. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jul 2, 12 at 11:39
Tropic, what irony..will explain. Growing Amorophs from seed. Sounds like it'd take many many years. A lifetime here..:) Thought they grew from bulbs/corms? I really know nothing about these huge beautys. I have a Alo/Colo in a pot. It's several years old. I was planning on planting in the ground this summer to see how large it'd get, but because of ant infestation, 'outside soil,' didn't. Sorry your plant was hit by a branch..That's awful. After all the work you put into it. Did the branch kill or break your plant? Yesterday, June 1, 2012, we had a very violent storm..The Storm of the Century. Anyway, we keep windows opened, no a/c. While the winds blew, my palm tree fell on the Philodendron, knocking off, whatever that thing was..leaf or flower.... I feel like crying..when I first discovered it lying on the floor................. Toni |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Jul 2, 12 at 21:34
Sorry to hear about that storm. It's hard when you go backwards and have all that extra work to do just to get back to where you were. All those are related, as Aroids. But they all have different growing conditions. I wouldn't worry about your Philo, it'll resprout. The tip that broke off will produce another plant. When the break has healed over a bit, put it in a plastic bag (ziplock bags are ideal) with a little water and place in a light warm place. It'll start to put out roots and then you can pot it up. They grow easily like that. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 11:53
Hi Tropic, Tropic, the Philo already has a new leaf unrolling, but it looks nothing like the piece that broke off. I still have the broken piece in paper towel. It sheds red coloring. What is it??? Otherwise, the Philo is fine. Thanks, Toni |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 19:33
The new leaf was probably the next in line but slowed while the tip was still growing. With the tip gone the leaf has probably accelerated growth to help the plant recover. Don't know what the red colouring would be, some sort of sap? Has the break healed over/formed dry scar tissue? If it has I wouldn't worry about the red colour, although it would be interesting to know exactly what it is. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 13:14
Tropic..the paper towel has some red, 'looks like dye' holding the piece that broke..see pic.. Tropic, the area where the bud was growing left a lumpy tissue. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 13:29
Well this has made me curious and my plant is probably not exactly the same but I ripped off a leaf sheath to see if there was any "red juice" in it but it's just white with no sap at all really. Did you ever dissect the thing in the paper towel to see what it was? It sure is flower-shaped, as far as Aroids go. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 13:31
Oops, meant to say "obviously not exactly the same" not probably. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 12 at 20:39
Hopefulauthor, you'll just have to give it more time. I don't recall having seen that sort of "dye" coming from any plants, but I've never really checked it. The new leaf will look different to the growing tip, it would have already begun before the tip broke. but a new shoot should start on the original plant looking like the broken tip. I wouldn't give up on the broken piece, kept warm and moist it should sprout roots. The "lumpy tissue" will just be scar tissue from when the plant healed the break to protect itself. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Jul 7, 12 at 11:32
Purple. My eyes aren't what they used to be, lol, so it's hard to tell. Does it look like a pod? lol..Seriously. No, didn't dissect. At first I considered doing so, but then Tropic mentioned placing in soil...so it's inside a terrarium..I still wonder if it was a flower bud..lol Tropic. I'm calling the red goo 'dye' unofficially..lol. I don't know what it is. I took your advice by placing the pod in soil, in a warm, humid terrarium. Many cuttings and seeds were started in the terrarium, so it should be sufficient. Did you originally say, if the pod is a leaf it will sprout? Or something other? |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sat, Jul 7, 12 at 12:30
The "pod" looks like a growing tip rather than a flower. The growing tip is the 'master plan' for the future of the original plant. It should keep going with that plan, only it'll be a new plant. Pretty well all Philos will do that. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 12:15
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 13:05
THE Master Plan brings forth more plants, which is needed if our world is to exist. Purple, well, guess that explains it. Philo has grown other leaves and more are coming, but none have that pod-like look.. :) I have quite a few Philos, vines, uprights, yet non ever grew 'leaves' like the one on this particular Plant. That's the reason I started this thread. I'd never seen anything like it before. BTW, what type is your Philo? |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 14:38
Philo has grown other leaves and more are coming, but none have that pod-like look. Curious and interesting! Thanks for the caveat about washing hands, totally agree. I did, I'm not averse to getting dirt or stuff on my hands, but am kind of compulsive about washing anything off pretty darn quick. The plant I just pictured is here. I don't think "we" decided exactly what it is yet, which is understandable considering the damage to the leaves at the time I got it. When the new leaf opens up, I'll add a new pic. |
You should probably leave the cataphylls on the plant until the leaves mature. The red is probably Pelargonidin which is a pigment like chlorophyll only reddish. Nice plant Toni, When you feel like taking cuttings I'll trade you something for one. Danny |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Jul 17, 12 at 11:27
Good point, Dellis. I'm not advocating sheath removal, just overcome with curiosity sometimes. Thanks for the cool word (cataphyll,) btw. This has been a most interesting investigation! Thanks Toni! Wiki: There are yet other classes of bud protection; large leaves of tropical plants without any dormant stage to speak of, such as Philodendrons, often develop within an unusually large protective cataphyll, possibly functioning largely as scaffolding for the growing leaf, or protection from wind during the period when their tissue is tender and their fibres are undeveloped. The protective cataphylls curl back and dry out as the leaf opens and matures, after which they often are shed. |

Purple, there are a good number of plants that are poisonous, way more than I realized. Because we have pets, (plus I don't want to eat/inhale/absorb via pores,) I researched toxic plants and plant parts. I was shocked learning most of my plants/plant parts/sap were toxic to humans and pets. Purple, there are a plenty of Philos that resemble yours. Eventually, you/someone should come up with the correct type. Until, enjoy. It's very pretty. Love the red. Hi Danny, Where is a cutting, 'from my Philo,' taken? lol. A leaf stem wouldn' root. So far it's upright, 'no vine.' Will it eventually vine out? |
Hi Toni this plant does not look, from these photos anyways, like a Meconostigma type philodendron so it should start to vine after a while. if it does turn out to one of the tree pholos it may pup and you can cut off the pup once it starts to grow roots of its own. |
