CBS 21's James Tully shows you how to stay safe in a power outage
Reported by: James Tully
MARIETTA -- A wet, heavy snow blanketed our area Monday and snapped power lines. This left thousands without power for portions of the day and with ice in the forecast for tomorrow that number could easily increase.
According to Bill Hornung, owner of Hornung's Hardware, there are better options than investing in generators. If you do not maintain them every three months during the year Hornung says it's difficult to rely on them in a moments notice.
There are other simple inexpensive steps you can take to make sure your home is ready for a power outage. Having bottled water and nonperishables like canned food stocked in your pantry is an obvious step, but Hornung says to have more foresight and put extra ice in your freezer. This will allow you to keep food colder longer if the power gets knocked out.
Having a first aid kit ready to go is a necessity. A collection of antiseptic and band aids will do the trick.
Batteries are always a good item to have handy as they can power radio or heater but we found an LED flashlight for under $10 that plugs into a wall. It doesn't require batteries and as long as it's charged it'll be ready to go.
In the bathroom if you have well water and the electric goes out you're not going to have water so I filled up the bathtub. This will conserve water to help flush toilets.
For heat Hornung recommends propane space heaters. He says they are safe, efficient and inexpensive.

Integrated Authority File (GND)
Short URL: http://www.dnb.de/EN/gnd
The Integrated Authority File (GND) contains data records representing persons, corporate bodies, congresses, geographic entities, topics and works. Before April 2012, those records were part of the separate authority files: Corporate Body Authority File (GKD), Name Authority File (PND), Subject Headings Authority File (SWD) and Uniform Title File of the Deutsches Musikarchiv (DMA-EST file).
The authority records are used in descriptive and subject cataloguing. They constitute a common, conclusive reference system for bibliographic library data and for the cataloguing data of other authority data users such as archives, museums and other scientific and cultural institutions.
The standards upon which the authority records are based are the "Regeln für die alphabetische Katalogisierung in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken" (RAK-WB) for descriptive cataloguing, and the "Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog" (RSWK) for subject cataloguing. The uniform titles for music resources are catalogued using the RAK-Musik rules. Transitional rules permitting integrated use of the authority records have been agreed for cases where the descriptive and subject cataloguing rules deviate from each other. Where possible, the transitional rules take into consideration the RDA (Resource Description and Access) rules.
The GND is run cooperatively; the partners include the German National Library and all library networks in the German-speaking world, the German Union Catalogue of Serials (ZDB) and numerous other institutions. The GND is actively used not only by libraries, but also by archives, museums and the editorial offices staff of reference works. Collaboration on the GND is either via the networks or in direct agreement with the German National Library.
The integration of all authority records in the GND have allowed previous format differences to be overcome. Parallel data records from the different authority files are combined successively.
The GND authority records standardise the preferred names but also provide alternative names and relations to other authority records. This has resulted in the creation of a network of related data records which is especially well suited for use in the Web, permits navigation within the authority file and thereby improves search possibilities for users.
All authority data of the GND have been provided free of charge for use under Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0) conditions. As of the end of January 2014 some geographical authority records contain unchanged coordinates from the database GeoNames.
GND authority records form part of the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF); they are combined with data from other national authority files.

Our current refrigerator has a water dispenser inside the fridge. It ends up requiring leaving the door open for too long when dispensing water, but we do not want to have a through the door dispenser either. Does anyone have any experience with a faucet that dispenses chilled water at the sink, like an instant hot water dispenser does? What brands of dispensers are there? It looks like Insinkerator used to make a chiller, but it is not on their website anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

We have a Westbrass Instant Water Chiller: http://www.sears.com.pr/westbrass-instant-water-chiller/p-08316998000P We have both an instant hot and the chiller under our sink and used a faucet that allows us to get both instant hot and instant cold water. I love the chiller. I use it every day for the dog's water bowl and to make lemonade. DH uses it all the time for water too. It is kind of loud right after it's use but so worth having! |

Thanks! I had seen the westbrass but could not find any reviews anywhere. Is it an instant chiller, or does it have a tank of chilled water? |
- Posted by DerrekInMo (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 15:11
Another thing to consider is a bottled water cooler or a bottleless water cooler that is plumbed directly into your water supply line. We use a small countertop water cooler at home. It's pretty slick, sits on the counter under the upper cabinet. My wife loves it for the instant hot water. I use it to try to keep on top of my water consumption since my Doc wants me to increase it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bottled and Bottleless Water Coolers

Watch Gary Panter's lecture at the Hammer Museum | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, Gary Panter | 16 Feb 2010 11:59 PM |
The Hammer Museum's website has posted a video of Gary Panter's Jan. 21 lecture on "the relationship between comic art and fine art painting in the 20th century."
For me, Gary pushes all the right buttons as a painter. If you haven't yet picked up that art book that Picturebox put out (and it's a god damn hell of a deal right now), you're missing out.

Sue White, a nurse on 6th floor southeast at Mercy Medical Center, has been chosen as the first recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The monthly award is part of the DAISY Foundation's program to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. A patient's family recommended Sue for the Daisy Award because of the exemplary care she provided their family member during a hospitalization at Mercy.
Sue received a certificate commending her for being an "Extraordinary Nurse." The certificate reads: "In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people." She was also presented with a beautiful sculpture called A Healer's Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.
Mercy's Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Tracy Larson said, "Mercy is proud to be among the hospitals participating in the DAISY Award program and Sue White is a perfect choice as the first recipient of this honor. Nurses are heroes every day. It is important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that."
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
One day while Pat was in the hospital, he asked his family to bring him a Cinnabon® cinnamon roll plus enough for all the nurses in his unit. With the help of Cinnabon's parent company, FOCUS Brands, The DAISY Foundation carries on this tradition by serving Cinnabons to all the nurses in the Award recipient's unit in thanks for everything they do for their patients and families.
Said Bonnie Barnes, President and Co-Founder of The DAISY Foundation, "When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night. Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human work they do. The kind of work the nurses at Mercy Medical Center are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award."
This is one initiative of The DAISY Foundation whose overall goal is to help fight diseases of the immune system. Additionally, DAISY offers J. Patrick Barnes Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects and provides assistance to ITP support groups. More information is available on their website www.DAISYfoundation.org.

A New Free Service on the Web© 1999 Virginia Lawrence, Ph.D.Everyone can use one of the newest free services on the Web, eFax. When you sign up for the free service at http://www.efax.com you receive a new, unique phone number. That phone number is your new fax number, and all faxes sent to your eFax number will be forwarded to your e-mail address. This is a way to collect your faxes when you collect your e-mail. As soon as you see the fax in your e-mail, you can read the fax. Why would we want to use a free fax number that forwards every fax to our e-mail? There are several advantages:
What's the catch? Well, the eFax catch is not really a catch. eFax will continue to offer the free services, and they are expecting many of the eFax free customers to sign on for some of the upcoming inexpensive additional services. As a free subscriber, when you read about their additional services in 3 months or 6 months, you will be predisposed to listen. You will be free to say no and still get the free service, but you will read the offer. Many people will be interested in the additional services offered at very low cost. These are only two of the services planned:
The upcoming services will be very inexpensive. The current service is free, and it will remain free. I see no drawbacks to using eFax. ~ Virginia Lawrence is a technical writer, editor, and professional webmaster who publishes both in print and online.

Just had to let you know that your 3 recipes for our 9X13 auction today (lime jello, granny, and apple cakes) brought $18 each and were all bought by the same person looking to stock her freezer for a large Easter crowd. Thank you for helping me do my part for the tornado victims in S. Alabama! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Whoo-ha!! $18 for that dumb lime jell-o thing? That's amazing!!... But it is pretty isn't it?? LOL! Glad you cleaned up...now to get southern Alabama cleaned up as well! Did you do the apple cake with the "cake gravy"?...That's the winner in my opinion...! Glad I could help. Linda C |
Oh, I totally forgot about the "cake gravy" part! I was still so blown away at the $18 each!! I had planned it as a side sale at your suggestion, but changed my mind with the gracious purchase of all three together so gave it as a 'bonus'. The lady was just thrilled and super tickled at your moniker 'cake gravy'(as were lots of others)! So, in the end, you won, I won, she has Easter dessert covered and the good folks further down south will be the beneficiaries! It was a great day! Thanks so much again for your help in getting my mind wrapped around some great, quick recipes!! |
Don't know if I told you...but the way the sauce came to be called "cake gravy" was from an occasion when my son was visiting and I had some friends for dinner, served that cake for dessert and put the sauce in a small sauce boat with a ladle. When it was passed, one of the guys asked what it was, I said "for the cake," He looked puzzled and my son said "it's cake gravy"...and the name stuck! Linda C |
Love that!! Leave it to the boys! HA! |

Faculty News John Burkoff Comments on Decision by DA Not to Retry Leon Ford PUBLISHED January 26, 2015 Pitt Law Professor John Burkoff speaks to both the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Tribune-Review newspapers about Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr.'s decision to drop remaining charges against Leon Ford, who was shot and paralyzed by a Pittsburgh police officer. Ford was acquitted in September of aggravated assault but he remained charged with recklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest, and escape.

Publish Date: Monday, January 26, 2015 - 2:00pm John Burkoff Speaks to WESA About Election Process for State Supreme Court Candiates PUBLISHED January 26, 2015 Pitt Law Professor John Burkoff spoke with 90.5 WESA in Pittsburgh Friday about the race for the three open seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Six of the 18 candidates gathered Sunday for a forum at Chatham University. Burkoff said it is often difficult for voters to evaluate candidates for the state supreme court, because a written record only exists for those who have served as judges. "It's almost impossible for an ordinary citizen to figure out who exactly he or she is voting for," he said. "They don't follow all of the decisions. They don't understand or want to understand the legal doctrine behind why a case is decided a particular way." Burkoff believes appellate judges, who are supposed to be nonpartisan, should be appointed rather than subject to partisan elections. Reference the related article here. Publish Date: Monday, January 26, 2015 - 1:45pm Arthur Hellman Quoted on Probe of Federal Judge Arrested on Domestic Abuse Allegations PUBLISHED January 26, 2015 Sources say an evidentiary hearing has been scheduled to consider a charge of judicial misconduct against an Alabama federal judge who was arrested on domestic abuse allegations. The Daily Report, the American Law Media newspaper in Atlanta, Ga., on Jan. 16 talked to Pitt Law Professor Arthur D. Hellman, an expert on federal judicial ethics, about the significance of this development. The article is only available for subscribers. Hellman suggested the hearing may have been called because the investigator hired by the "special committee" encountered conflicting stories from witnesses. In that situation, Hellman said, the judges would be "derelict" to allow the investigator to make credibility determinations himself. "If there are any questions at all about credibility, the special committee members will want to hear and question the witnesses themselves," Hellman added. Commentary to the rules on federal judicial discipline proceedings says that a special committee's power to subpoena a judge for a hearing is "subject to the normal testimonial privileges." Hellman said he thought such privileges would include the Fifth Amendment, adding that the special committee would not have the authority to immunize a judge from prosecution. Publish Date: Monday, January 26, 2015 - 9:45am Alan Meisel is Quoted in The New York Times on Complexities of End-of-Life Decision Making for Dementia Patients PUBLISHED January 20, 2015 The rate of dementia among adults, especially those over 85, is steadily increasing, affecting not only those diagnosed with a degenerative illness such as Alzheimer's but also the family members who often care for them. A desire to not be a burden on loved ones in the event of their developing a terminal illness leads some to make formal decisions relative to their own end-of-life care. Known as advance directives, these documents might instruct health care professionals not to administer lifesaving treatment like cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilators, or feeding tubes. In rare cases, patients might also express a desire for "voluntarily stopping eating and drinking" (VSED). Adding to complexities surrounding this issue, says The New York Times in "Complexities of Choosing an End Game for Dementia," is whether patients who develop dementia can indicate with an advance directive whether they choose to end their lives through VSED. Alan Meisel, Pitt Law professor of law and psychiatry; Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote Professor of Bioethics; and director of the University's Center for Bioethics and Health Law, is an expert on end-of-life decision making. He believes VSED could be among the viable options for people making these decisions. "People in their 50s and 60s frequently say: 'I don't want to be in that situation. I don't want to put my family in that situation.' And people will increasingly voice those views to others, sometimes in a formal way through advance directives." Meisel stresses the importance of not referring to this method of end-of-life care as "starvation," saying, "It's the rhetoric more than anything." He adds that if removing patients from ventilators were suddenly referred to as "suffocation," that issue might also become contentious. Read the entire story in The New York Times here.

Lawson Award recognizes." Hibbitts' other honors include the University of Pittsburgh's Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award in 1995 as well as the School of Law's Excellence-in-Teaching Award in 1993. He also has been recognized with numerous awards and distinctions for his work with JURIST.

News Image: Publish Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 - 1:00pm David Harris Comments for Washington Post on Holder's Limiting of Seized Civil Asset Sharing PUBLISHED January 19, 2015 U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday announced the effective end of civil asset forfeiture by local and state police, a practice in which police seized citizens' private property, such as cash and cars, without issuing a warrant or even having to prove a crime had been committed. According to The Washington Post, since 2008—under the Justice Department's civil asset forfeiture program Equitable Sharing, originally intended to help fund the war on drugs—local and state police agencies have seized cash and property from private citizens worth $3 billion. Police departments would often keep up to 80 percent of the proceeds from the seizures and "share" the rest with federal agencies. David Harris, Pitt Law professor and Distinguished Faculty Scholar, who is an expert on constitutional law and police behavior, supports a reversal of the policy. "It's high time we put an end to this damaging practice," he said. "It has been a civil-liberties debacle and a stain on American criminal justice." Holder's decision allows for exceptions such as illegal firearms, ammunition, explosives, and materials used for child pornography, which represent a small portion of seized assets.

Publish Date: Monday, January 19, 2015 - 3:00pm David Thaw on Cybersecurity PUBLISHED January 14, 2015 Cyber attacks on major retailers, banks, even movie production companies, are becoming more commonplace, leading to increased awareness of cybersecurity and anxiety over the ever-looming threats against it. President Barack Obama announced Tuesday revised legislation related to cybersecurity that would give companies legal protections for sharing information with each other and the government about hacking threats. Obama believes such legislation is necessary to help prevent attacks like the one that occurred last month at Sony Pictures. Pitt Law Assistant Professor of Law and Information Sciences David Thaw, an expert on cybersecurity, cybercrime, and cyberwarfare, appeared January 14 on Bloomberg Radio's Bloomberg Law program to discuss cybersecurity and the law. Listen to the archived show here. Thaw also appeared on an episode of "Where We Live" on the subject, which aired January 13 on WNPR in Hartford, Conn. The expert panel, which also included Professor Bryan Ford, who leads the Decentralized/Distributed Systems research group at Yale University, and Arthur House, chair of the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, discussed, among other things, the cost of these attacks and what can be done to prevent them.

Publish Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 - 1:45pm David Harris Quoted in New York Times on Charges Filed Against Officers in Death of Homeless Man PUBLISHED January 13, 2015 Prosecutors will pursue murder charges against two Albuquerque, New Mexico, police officers, Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez, saying they acted with "deliberate intention" in the killing last March of James Boyd, a homeless man with a history of mental illness. The case, which led to large protests against police and a federal criminal investigation, is likely to be among the first to rely on video evidence from a body camera worn by an officer. The shooting occurred after a standoff in which the police said Boyd had two knives, but in a video recorded by one of the officers' helmet camera, he appeared to be turning away as he was shot. The New York Times asked Pitt Law Professor and Distinguished Faculty Scholar David Harris, an expert on police behavior and regulation, for comment. With the video evidence, Harris said, "it becomes impossible to deny some of the very basic facts. That means you start an investigation on an entirely different foundation."

Publish Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 - 1:00pm David Garrow Called on as Leading National Expert on MLK PUBLISHED January 13, 2015 During the month of January, when the country pays tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Pitt Law Research Professor of Law and History David Garrow continues to be called on as a leading national expert on King's life and legacy, including recent events surrounding his children's ongoing battles over his estate and controversies related to the depictions of King and President Lyndon B. Johnson in the movie Selma, now in theaters. Garrow spoke about the latest legal entanglement among King's children during an interview that aired live on CBS This Morning. "This is just one more chapter in an ongoing saga," he said. "Dr. King himself was an utterly, completely selfless individual. Unfortunately, none of the children has been a good inheritor of what his message—what the meaning of his life—should represent." Watch the entire segment here. Garrow is the author of Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (Morrow, 1986; HarperCollins paperback, 2004), which won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Biography and Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, as well as The FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr. (Norton, 1981) and Protest at Selma (Yale University Press, 1978). Garrow's opinions have been featured this month in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post, TIME magazine, and on MSNBC and National Public Radio's Marketplace and Marketplace Weekend, among others.

A story in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, available to subscribers only but quoted extensively by Ed Whelan at National Review Online, presented the views of Pitt Law Professor Arthur D. Hellman. According to the story, Hellman, an authority on judicial ethics, said he's convinced the Ninth Circuit is in the clear but believes a probe is warranted. "I have known [the circuit's executive officer] Cathy Catterson for many years, and I have absolute confidence that she would never countenance any kind of panel packing," Hellman wrote in an email. Hellman's comment came with a strong suggestion that the circuit nevertheless address the claims publicly. "In this as in so many other aspects of federal court operations, 'trust me' is no longer an adequate response," he wrote. Hellman called for a formal investigation of the allegations and a report to the public of the findings. Beyond the specifics of what exactly went on, Hellman wrote, "I was surprised by [former Chief Judge Alex] Kozinski's apparent lack of curiosity—not to mention his apparent ignorance of court procedures and their evolution."

Publish Date: Monday, January 12, 2015 - 2:15pm Truthout Quotes Pitt Law Professor Thomas Ross Article On Race And Presumed Innocence And Guilt PUBLISHED December 11, 2014 In a Dec. 10 Op-Ed, non-profit news site Truthout quoted Pitt Law professor Thomas Ross' William & Mary Law Review article "The Rhetorical Tapestry of Race" following the announcement of police officers Darren Wilson and Daniel Pantaleo's non-indictments in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. The editorial cites Ross's article, quoting "White innocence is the insistence on the innocence or absence of responsibility of the contemporary white person" and observing, "What this means is that white people will not be considered guilty of a crime simply because on the color of their skin. This is due to the fact that white innocence is historically predicated on the criminalization and violation of (primarily) black bodies. The framing of whites throughout United States as inherently innocent and blacks as guilty not only encourages the continued perpetuation of white violence against black people, such as physical police violence, the discriminatory enforcement of laws, and mass incarceration, but also makes it a necessary condition of the state, as the state maintains its power and dominance through the criminalization of (mainly) black people."

Publish Date: Thursday, December 11, 2014 - 1:45pm Pitt Law Professor David Harris Speaks To AP About Sheriff Arpaio Racial Profiling Case PUBLISHED December 04, 2014 Pitt Law Professor and racial profiling expert David A. Harris offered analysis to the Associated Press in a Dec. 4 wire story about embattled Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio's potential contempt of court case. The Arizona Sheriff has been under scrutiny for racial profiling. According to the AP, eighteen months ago, the judge found the sheriff's office had systematically singled out Latinos in regular traffic and special immigration patrols. The AP story quoted Prof. Harris as saying he wouldn't expect the judge to jail Arpaio and instead would probably gradually ramp up the severity of his punishments if the sheriff continued to defy the judge. On the possibility of jailtime for the Sheriff, Harris told the AP, "I don't think that's very likely, simply because he is an elected official."

KDKA spoke with University of Pittsburgh School of Law Professor and technology law expert, David Thaw on the matter. KDKA reporter Harold Hayes reported in the news segment that the involvement of the police indicates not only the potential criminal nature of the probe, but the complicated legal landscape of cell phone examinations. "If there's nothing apparent and the school officials turned [the phones] over to law enforcement on the grounds of, 'well, we heard some rumors,' then law enforcement on the basis of that can conduct an investigation," Thaw told KDKA.

Publish Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 - 11:45am Arthur Hellman Quoted by Wall Street Journal on Judicial Impeachment PUBLISHED September 26, 2014 Several members of Congress have called for the resignation of Federal District Judge Mark Fuller, who was arrested on charges of domestic violence. But if Judge Fuller does not resign, the only way of removing him from office is through the process of impeachment, Pitt Law Professor Arthur D. Hellman told the Wall Street Journal. This was a deliberate choice by the Framers, Hellman said. He added that the protections accorded by the Constitution to federal judges are especially important when passions are running high. "Federal judges have life tenure, and the reason for that is to enable them to resist popular and legislative pressure," he said. "There is a long history of popular calls for impeaching federal judges, though generally for their [legal] decisions." A federal judge can't be forced from the bench outside of the impeachment process even if convicted of a felony, he added. Read the full Wall Street Journal article here.

Hellman said, "The judge is brought down to the level of football players. You don't normally see people talking about those two occupations in the same paragraph." The Times story also quoted Hellman's comments on the dilemma that the case poses for the federal judicial disciplinary process. Hellman described the self-policing role of the judiciary as "a very difficult line to walk." He added: "How can you maintain public confidence without yielding to the passions of the moment? There's no formula for that." Read the full article here.

Remember the Walkman? What about the ghetto blaster? These iconic pieces marked the era of the mix-tape, one of the most romantic gifts of its time. With Valentines Day just around the corner, we thought it would be fitting to feature a flashback to one of sweetest phenomena of the 80s.
Today, the presence of the original audio cassette tape can still be seen in the form of faux cassettes that now house MP3s, perfect for the truly nostalgic unwilling to give up on the good old days. We can also see faux walkmen which act as deterrents for would-be thieves of iPods (because seriously, who would steal a portable cassette player?) as well as art made from real recycled tapes.
Enjoy the flashback!

B.C. court says sex harassment alleged by tenant amounts to discrimination
B.C.'s top court has ruled that sexual harassment does constitute sexual discrimination in the case of a woman who filed a human-rights complaint against her landlord.
Noemi MacGarvie alleged she was physically and verbally harassed by John Friedmann while she was living in an East Vancouver building he owned.
MacGarvie was awarded nearly $20,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, but the decision was later overturned after a review by the B.C. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court determined that proof of sexual harassment does not necessarily support a ruling that sexual discrimination took place.
However, a three-member Appeal Court panel has agreed the Supreme Court decision should be set aside and the financial award reinstated.
In a written judgment issued today (November 8), the Appeal Court concluded the type of sexual harassment alleged by MacGarvie constitutes sexual discrimination.
The judgment points to a case of workplace sexual discrimination where the Supreme Court of Canada reached the same conclusion.
The Appeal Court says female tenants have the same right to be free from sexual harassment as female employees.

I have a large Ponderossa lemon tree in my backyard, it came with the house and I've lived here for 10 years. Within the last four years it has started to fruit regularly, usually every other year. Last summer the tree fruited very large lemons (as it did in the past). But they did not ripen. They look as if they are on their way. I had to cut away some of the tree to be able to get around the corner of my house in the backyard. Does anyone know of any ways to ripen lemons once they have been cut off of the tree? Also, does anyone know how long I should have to wait for the lemons on the tree to ripen? I figured they would ripen in December or January, but not yet. Or is it possible that this is a new crop of lemons already? I need some lemon help! Thanks! |

Sheal, I've placed unripe citrus in a sunny window even when they were green..it took time but they did eventually turn the color they were supposed to be. I grow citrus in containers, (live in IL) so can't advise how long fruit should take to ripen, but I usuallly allow fruit to remain on trees until they fall off w/o plucking them. Maybe you should wait??? or do they fall off before ripening? Toni |
- Posted by shealafemme (My Page) on Sat, Oct 14, 06 at 21:45
Thanks for the help Toni. I had to cut parts of the tree off, which is why some of the fruit is no longer on the tree. There is still green fruit on the tree! I'll try to ripen them in the window! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sun, Oct 15, 06 at 19:28
Sheal, why did you have to cut the tree? I wanted to ask, how large are the fruits you removed? How much more ripening would they have required if still on the branches? If too small, they might be bitter. Time will only tell..Good luck on your citrus anyway. Toni |
- Posted by shealafemme (My Page) on Tue, Oct 24, 06 at 3:25
Hey Toni... I had to cut branches of the tree off because it had grown so large while I was out of town (5 months) that I could not walk past it, it was growing up against my house and the backyard fence as well. Really, it was overgrown. Too much tree, too little space! The fruits are mostly full size. Some are as large as softballs. Even the smallest ones are about the size of navel oranges! I have had them in my window and some on a table in my front yard, some of them are turning yellow nicely, don't know how they taste yet. Some are still green though. I guess it's just going to take some time! Thanks for all the help! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Tue, Oct 24, 06 at 16:53
Sheal, now 5 months is a vacation..LOL. Did you have someone caring for your trees while away? Did they fertilize? I'd place the unripe fruits in the sun..they should ripen..I tried this several times and it always worked..Patience is the key. |
- Posted by shealafemme (My Page) on Fri, Nov 10, 06 at 0:57
Hey Toni... Success with most of the fallen fruits! Most of them are ripe and have ripened very well. A few of them turned brown or are rock hard, but the rest are great. I gave some to a friend, and within a few days she asked for a few more because they were so good! I tried one with some soda, and they are sweet and tasty - not too sour or bitter. I only had to put them on a table on my front porch. They got plenty of sun. The ones still on the trees are still green...which means they will be ripening soon. And will hopefully be just as good as the others. Thanks for the help! PS...While I was away, I had the tree on a water timer system, but never fertalized (which I rarely do). Yummy! |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Fri, Nov 10, 06 at 1:45
Hi Sheal, I'm glad hearing most of your fruit ripened. It can take time, but does eventually ripen. What do you mean you tried some with soda? You mean, soda pop? Baking soda? LOL..I don't understand. Ironically, I grow citrus for looks, which is why I fertilize. For veggies I grew in the garden, they NEVER get fed or sprayed w/anything other than water..we devour too much junk as it is.. Anyway, I'm glad hearing everything worked out..Toni |
- Posted by shealafemme (My Page) on Fri, Dec 8, 06 at 3:28
Haha! I tried the lemons with soda pop...here in Tucson it's just soda! And last weekend I made a glass of homemade lemonade. It was delicious! My grandmother sent me a lemon pie recipe which I am going to try to make here in the next few weeks. My lemons on the tree are yellow and I think they are going to start coming down soon. As long as I don't lose any to a frost...hopefully not! Thank You! |
first you need a lemon from the store let it sit out and mold. I know it sounds gross but place them with the green lemons that should ripen them. Collin |
Collinm, this is the first I hear of that method. Do you know what the reasoning/science is behind it? I'm very curious. |
- Posted by naturalcureswarts (My Page) on Sat, Sep 27, 08 at 17:02
Does anyone know if you can ripen lemons (or other fruits) by wrapping them in newspaper? I have heard that works. Thanks. Hope |
Here is a link that might be useful: Remove Warts & Moles Naturally
My lemon tree is in a pot on my porch. It has several ripening lemons on it. They're almost yellow but they're still green on the end and not a bright yellow yet. Our first freeze is coming and it's going down in the 20's. I don't know if I should go ahead and harvest or leave them on the tree in a sheltered spot. Any advice? |

I just bought this pack and it has everything I need and more for a 12-day outing. I'm packing with 11 Scouts at Philmont Scout Ranch in N.M. We are hiking over 70 miles. This pack is light weight and will allow me to carry someone elses gear if they go down. This pack is light weight and roomy. Easy access to all of my essentials and first aid stuff used for Philmont Scout Ranch. Large enough for 12 days of camping and hiking. Great product. I would recommend it to anybody going out for four days… Full review

Hands down the best pack I've ever had! Real backpackers had to have been instrumental in the design and USA made construction of this pack; every feature I've ever thought would make my life easier or more comfortable while backpacking is featured on this pack! Every trip I've taken with this pack has resulted in a travel companion deciding they want one. Only downside is the brain isn't removable to serve as a smaller day-pack, but the pack is so compressible that this is barely a disappointment. Full review

Dual-use storage compartments which serve as an effective pillow because of microfiber on one side. Perfect for compartmentalizing clothes when packing, while alleviating the need to pack a pillow. Basically, these stacker pillows are glorified zippered storage compartments with microfiber on one side, but they are extremely convenient and, as simple as they sound, very helpful and very effective. If you have ever used a stuff/compression sack as a pillow, you've probably experienced either your… Full review

A very well thought out and designed pack that needs to have a few kinks worked out. MHM is a fairly new company so growing pains are to be expected. I tested Mile High Mountaineering's (MHM) Divide 55 internal frame/hydration compatible backpack on a few weekenders and an 80-mile/7-day trip on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT) in S.W. Pa. I was hesitant to use this pack on a trek this length, due to its size, but it fit my gear and food with room to spare. I found this pack to very comfortable… Full review

I saw a short clip on a Denver news channel about Mile High Mountaineering, being they are local I decided to try them out. I liked the look of the pack to start with. Brief history of me: I am a tall, larger woman, with a severe lumbar back problem that has now moved into my hip. Being 6'2 I have always had to get a man's pack. They never fit quite right so I just had to find the best ( but never quite right ) fitting pack. They either would not fit around me, shoulders to narrow or wide, the frame… Full review

Hip-hop star Eminem may be a polarizing figure in the rap community, but on a financial level he has been an extremely successful one. His last CD, The Eminem Show, sold over six million copies. One of the obvious goals of 8 Mile, his acting debut, is to expand that audience without alienating his fan base--in short, to make his brand of hip-hop safe for the masses.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, doesn't take many chances here. In fact, 8 Mile is close enough to his real life that he is essentially playing himself. The plot purports to show how he discovered both his voice and a way out of a dead-end existence, but the filmmakers are also interested in showing why hip-hop is so important to its audience. This material, largely handled by the rest of the cast, is considerably more involving than the many shots of Eminem in headphones scribbling lyrics on scraps of paper.
Much of the film has a documentary feel. We see Eminem, playing Jimmy Smith, at work, hanging out with his friends, and at home. Jimmy's job at a metal-stamping factory gives a good approximation of the drudgery of manual labor. Scenes with his friends--Future (Mekhi Phifer), who hosts a local rap competition; Sol George (Omar Benson Miller), another amateur rapper; DJ Iz (De'Angelo Wilson), a budding activist; and the hapless Cheddar Bob (Evan Jones)--can be just as boring as work. They ride around in beat-up cars, lounge in cramped basements, and try to avoid the Free World crew, a group of menacing rappers led by Papa Doc (Anthony Mackie).
Breaking up with his girlfriend Janeane (Taryn Manning), Jimmy moves back in with his mother Stephanie (Kim Basinger), who lives in a trailer with her young daughter Lily (Chloe Greenfield) and Greg (Michael Shannon), an abusive, unemployed redneck. Facing eviction, in danger of losing his job, taunted by his rivals, betrayed by his girlfriend Alex (Brittany Murphy), Jimmy fantasizes about a recording contract. But as he and his friends get older, their dreams dissolve, leaving them to face a bitter reality.
Like Elvis Presley before him, Eminem toys with racial barriers, finding ways to exploit an almost exclusively black phenomenon for white teens. But 8 Mile isn't about race or hip-hop as much as it is about making a valuable commodity more palatable to a mainstream audience. Unlike the CD Eminem, the movie Eminem professes to love children, outcasts and homosexuals, which the filmmakers back up with maudlin shots of adoring tots and grateful nerds. The rapper reserves his disdain for those who have good educations and come from stable homes. It's a difficult message for adults to swallow, although youngsters who are convinced they are rebels may lap it up.

@Logicfest -- the plastic cone is called an Elizabethan collar and is the standard device used to keep dogs from chewing on bandages, casts, etc. As you pointed out, that didn't work in your case.
There are alternatives that are well worth trying, Treating the bandage with something bitter such as a substance called sour apple (available at your local pet store) has proven successful. Dogs hate the taste of it and that deters them from chewing.
A word of caution, though. You need to check with a vet before you use such a substance to see if it could harm the dog. If you are dealing with a bandage, whatever you use to prevent the dog from chewing could soak through the bandage and might infect the wound or delay its healing. That's not as much of a concern with a cast, but certainly something to keep in mind with a soft, absorbent bandage.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chewwie!
Facts about Chewwie
- Breed: Golden Retriever Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chewwie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Adopted 3/26/13!!!
Chewbacca is a happy, fun, and loving Golden mix puppy who is about 4 months old! He was discarded by his former owners in a neighborhood in AL. The kind people in the area fed Chewwie and called animal control so this sweet little fellow wouldn't be hit by a car. Chewwie is a very social boy and has never met a stranger! He is great with kids and loves all human companions, just wanting to be oh-so-close to them! Chewwie has a sweet spirit and not a mean bone in his body! He has a cuddly soft, shaggy look that just makes you want to snuggle up with him. His Foster Mom says he loves to play with other dogs and cuddle with them too. He is housebroken, but could benefit from a little time in puppy kindergarten!
SGRR promised this furry angel that he would never be roaming the streets again looking for food! He surely deserves to have a forever home and a second chance at a great life! If you are home most of the day and you understand puppies, please apply for this bundle of innocent puppy love. Chewwie is neutered, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and ready to go HOME. Like all puppies, Chewwie just needs someone with patience, time, and good humor to help him grow to his potential.
PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue.
Direct questions regarding an application's status to: email@example.com
Approved applicants may direct questions regarding a specific dog to: Dog inquiry from approved applicant.
About Our Rescue
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.
A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided.
The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.
Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed.
Be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog - make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.
Other Pets at Sunshine Golden Retriever Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chewwie, a Cheshire Golden Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever for sale in Cheshire, or seeking a Golden Retriever puppy from a breeder in Cheshire.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cheshire already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cheshire breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever breeders who help with Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cheshire paves the way for another one to be saved.

Pretty new to the game and was just looking at the two threads about the viability of dwarfs. From the reading I've done it seems that dark elves and chaos are the most powerful races right now. Actually, I get the impression that they're the only races to play if your opponents know what they're doing. Is that overstating? What is the state of balance in the game these days? Thanks.
So what's viable?
Posted 03 November 2012 - 07:33 AM
Posted 06 November 2012 - 05:38 PM
Personally I think that all races are playable more than ever before.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:54 PM
Definitely overstating. Things do tend to cycle but those cycles are reasonably short lived. Right now chaos is doing well, but are certainly not a must play to win. You can still win with any race.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 05:08 AM
Cool. I'll keep looking out for strong decks that are not DE or Chaos and do not have an illegal number of restricted cards. I've seen strong-looking order decks at deckbox.org and cardgamedb.com, but they all had more than one restricted card in them.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 07:27 AM
In my opinion HE are the strongest races now, Chaos, DE and Orcs are little less, but still powerful and Empire with Dwarves are only strong now ;-)
Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:00 PM
I love Dwarfs. A good mix of defense and heavy hitters. They may not be winning a ton of tournaments right now, but from what I understand they were "hot" when the card "reclaiming the fallen" came out. It was in The SIlent Forge battle pack. I suggest you get it if you want to do well with dwarfs. Along with Firey Dawn (for the card Grudgeborn fury) and Karaz-a-Karak.
Go to deckbox.org, search through the W:I card database. Use the filter options to shrink it down to dwarfs and then start looking at what packs to benefit them the most. This is perhaps not a good option to expand your card pool as a whole, for all races as it were, but if you like the dwarfs, go for their good cards.
"Not all heros dwell in the light. Some limp in shadow." - Paul S. Kemp
Posted 23 December 2012 - 04:19 AM
I think all the races are viable in casual and shop-league play. But when it comes to tournament level, the DE control, Chaos Fateweaver & HE IDD are very powerful and difficult to counter with Dwarf & Empire - Orks might get in some good rush wins.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 01:52 PM
Fateweaver?! As far as I know that's the Legend that makes developments into units with 2 power. Chaos decks that do well tend to have a nice balance of unit and support destruction, from what I've seen. I'd be interested to see a decklist that did well in a tournament where using that legend is the main trick.
