I tried posting a message yesterday but evidently it didn't go through! I'm new at this!
I have a real problem. For months now, I hear a buzzing sound at night time that drives me crazy! My husband cannot hear it (has some hearing problems) but it keeps me awake for hours! If I get 4 hours of sleep a night, I am doing well. But I can't go on like this! Someone suggested that it might be a wiring problem. The fuse box is in the basement, just below our bedroom. The electric meter is on the outside wall of our bedroom. Is it possible that either of those things could be causing the buzzing sound? This morning I woke up around 5 and the buzzing was very disturbing so I went out into the living room (other end of the house) and could still hear it! I also heard it in the bathroom and the other bedroom. Is there any possibility that bad electrical wiring can cause physical problems? I sure hope someone can give me some answers on what could be causing this disturbing buzzing sound! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not likely bad wiring. As a test you could try turning off your main breaker and see if goes away. If it does then try turning off circuits one at a time until you hit the one that make the noise stop. Then investigate things connected to that circuit. It could something like a doorbell transformer but not the actual wiring in your house.. |

If it was some type of electrical problem you would hear it all the time just not at night I would think. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to have your ears checked. A friend of mine had a terrible time with ringing ears but it was all the time not just at night. Another option is to go to the electrial panel when you hear the buzzing to see if the noise is more intense there. |
A buzz from the main panel can be a noisy breaker (harmless, if annoying) or can indicate a loose connection. Definitely spend some quality time with your main panel and listen closely. If you can't determine where the noise is coming from, you may want to enlist the aid of a third person to see if he or she hears it. TRH is right that hearing a buzz when things are quiet is one symptom of tinnitus, a surprisingly common hearing affliction. |
Do you have a dusk to dawn yard light? |

Did you ever solve this problem. I have the exact problem. My ears are fine. I can even hear it through my pillow, and ear plugs don't get rid of it. I think it might be a power transformer on the pole in front of my house. It sure it frustrating! |
Is there a bees nest in the walls or attic ? |
We have the same problem - did you ever solve it or have your got any further with it kennedycosker? |
Flourescent light on somewhere? |
- Posted by Joshua spradlin(firstname.lastname@example.com) onThu, Nov 13, 08 at 21:37
I had the same problem. I turned off all my breakers and the noise stopped. I turned them on one by one, and when I turned on the one that went to my doorbell, The buzzing started again. I just leave that one off and haven't had the problem since. Hope this helps. |
"when I turned on the one that went to my doorbell, The buzzing started again. I just leave that one off and haven't had the problem since" your doorbell transformer is on a dedicated circuit? |
- Posted by franiannitto (My Page) on Fri, Jun 12, 09 at 7:00
Thank Goodness someone else has experienced what I am now experiencing. |
All door bell transformers buzz, my question is if you hook the system to a larger voltage than required will the buzz be louder? The transformer I just replaced had a 10, 16 and 24 volt connection. With two chimes and you use the 24V will it cause excess buzz. I connected to the 24V thinking it would give me a stronger sound. Am I correct? |
Sources of buzzing in electrical gear: The root cause of many buzzing sounds is ac magnetized iron. This includes transformers, relays, and flouresent lamp ballasts. A service entrance transformer can be very noisy. An improperly shaded relay can be very annoying. (shading coil broken or armature not sealing tight on its pole piece. In fact, I had a washing machine whose buzzer was nothing more than a relay without its shadind coil.) Electric clocks, the ones with timer motors and clock hands, may become noisy. (Most electric clocks have digital displays these days.) Over time, the timer motor may become noisy. The same goes for other devices that use timer motors such as a water softner. Do you have an anti-radon installation? This is comprised of duct work and fan to ventilate the basement. It runs all the time. The fan motor is a noise source. A pole mounted transformer/power supply and meter for steet lighting can be noisy. The control box for a traffic light may hum. In rare cases, an UPS (uninterruptable power supply) or equipment powered from an UPS may be noisy. Several UPS do not supply a smooth sinusodial wave but produces some sort of modified square wave or additions of square waves. This wave form can excite higher harmonics in equipment. |

Folks, for all of your spectulation, remember the OP only hears this buzzing at night! Jemdandy, everything you mention would make noise all the time, not just at night. Presume the doorbell buzzing was all the time. Also, have heard nothing more from the OP. |
texasredhead: Street lights run only at night. |
I think looking at each of the incoming legs with an ocsilloscope to see if you have a clean sine wave might give you some insight. |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Sun, Jun 14, 09 at 8:56
My street light is 100 ft. from my front door. That would have to be one loud street light. Again, nothing from the OP. Maybe she went to an audiologist. |
... and after MORE THAN TWO YEARS, we're probably NOT GOING TO hear anything from the OP! |
- Posted by texasredhead (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 17:43
OOPS! Poor OP could be where there is no buzzing. |
- Posted by aliciasmith (My Page) on Thu, Jul 16, 09 at 22:59
The OP may have disappeared, but I am having a very similar problem. My doorbell is making a buzzing sound that is constant day and night. Is it the wiring in the wall/house or the doorbell transformer as someone else suggested? If it is the doorbell transformer do I just need to purchase a new door bell and install it with the existing wiring? Any help would be appreciated. I certainly don't want an electrical fire because of a doorbell! Thanks! Alicia |

Hi I found your problem googling buzzing at night. None of the things in your home are the problem if it were in your home it would be all the time. I had/have the exact thing happen to me. Its not as bad as it was. For three years I was tormented! Last night buzzing happened. first time in 8 months? This is what I think, I think it has something to do with law enforcement. maybe a neighbor or someone is being watched? In some third world countries they use frequency to harass their target. In some cases it causes vomiting, headaches and not to mention insomnia. Its a tactic, loss of sleep can cause paranoia even the soundest minds can get pretty nuts without sleep. So that is why its used. I'm not saying thats whats happening but oddly enough now that I live in a gated community I get sleep! Last night a shooting happened in our quiet community outside of our gates of cource. Funny enough the buzzing was so loud last night I thought my room was about to lift off! About 5:30 Am I fell back asleep and woke up well rested at 11AM. If I were you I would find out who your neighbors are listen for cars with ghetto blasters et |

Why does my dawn-to-dust outside light make a buzzing noise when it turns on? The buzzing noise goes away when it turns off. |
"Why does my dawn-to-dust outside light make a buzzing noise when it turns on? The buzzing noise goes away when it turns off." It may have a mechanical relay and not a Triac to turn on the 120 V. Relay pulls in, light comes on, buzzing starts. |
Another possiblity: if the light is a mercury vapor or high presssure sodium type, it will have a magnetic ballast. These often emit an audible hum. Often this is most noticeable when the fixture is starting. If not properly attached to the fixture, the ballast can buzz loudly. |

It is more than likely to be wifi or wimax signals comming either from you own home or from your neighbours homes. If you have a wireless router, turn it off. Only turn it on when necessary. If possible switch to cabled lines or fibre optics. Check how many signals are coming from you neighbours. The freqencies can affect ones hearing. Please google electrosensitivity |
I have the exact same problem, but I do know where the noise is coming from in my case, I just can't get anyone to do anything about it. It's coming from the electrical meter and I'm willing to bet this situation is exactly the same given the meter is right outside the bedroom. The noise has also been driving me nuts to the point where I have turned EVERYTHING off in the house by using the main circuit in the panel box and yet I still heard the noise. When I finally put my ear to where I thought the sound was coming from, I could feel the a vibration in the wall as well (bet if you felt your wall around where you think the noise is coming from, you'll feel the same thing). Since I knew there was nothing inside making the noise and nothing in the wall that could make it, since the power was off, I looked outside...and voila, the electrical meter was right there on the other side of the wall where I heard the noise and felt the vibration. I called the power company who came and removed the meter to inspect it, but they didn't find anything wrong; they did say that the conduit that is attached to the house and that the main electrical wires run through from outside to inside my house was a little loose and may be vibrating. I fixed that and still hear the noise. It's the meter..100% sure! But they say it's not. |
I have a buzzing electrical sound but this is different it does not go away when I turn off the main. I am sure it is not plumbing, I even drained the system. It is just below the breaker box where the main comes into the box. |

does your husband work in an industry that hires too many people from india? Because I know the indian's have a "CIA" setup that send spies around to break into people's houses when they are not around to steal your work files and to install harassment devices behind the floor boards and on the outside around around the rain gutters (by cutting under the rainspot with a jig saw to plant harassment...) those places are really hard to discover unless you want to tear your house apare... motivations for doing this are not really clear... they just think they can make people dumb and give them vein problems or crack artery plaque using EMF radiation... I have no idea what it is though... i just know its not ionizing and its not really strong enough to be diaelectric heating... theories, its some type of semiconductor laser device that emits invisiable IR light and millimeter microwaves..... |
- Posted by bingobingo1 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 5:00
more "craZy" theories.... i forgot to mention... if you have this problem you can't shut your main power line off and get it to stop immediately because these devices have cellphone batteries...in fact they are partly a type of cellphone radio that can send and receive commands remotely... if you shut your power off and the device is currently transmitting in harass mode they will burn down the battery in about 20 mintues to an hour.... however once that battery is burnt by shutting off main house power for a long enough time they get out of sync and stop working... just like a cellphone that runs out of battery.... secondly, i think they can run entirely on batteries for a month in observation mode... which is basically a method to spy on you from behind a wall with a microphone and radar type video similar to millimeter backscatter scanners at the airport... or they can damage the batteries and use the device to harass you until the batteries drain ....about 20 minutes to an hour.... all thoeries mind you... of course...even if you found one...how would you know...its just a tincan planted behind your wall of indiscript electronics... |
- Posted by bingobingo1 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 5:04
actually...i'll give you a third mode of operating...ghost mode... this is where they hide a device behind a wall and use the cellphone speaker to tell strange messages from a safe remote location... and then laugh about it because you can't find a device that's hidden behind a wall... listen to converstation in room...pretend to be a ghost and inject breif comments that are so short that you can't locate the source of the sound... |

COLUMBUS — It wasn't the way Dakota Riley envisioned the end of his high school wrestling career.
The Mount Vernon senior stood on the podium for the second straight year following the finals of the OHSAA State Wrestling Championships at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. However, the award he received was for fifth place.
That's about four places below where he'd hoped to land.
"There's nothing I can do about getting on top now," said Riley after his final match. "It's all behind me now."
Riley was victorious in his final match — the 113-pound fifth-place match on Saturday's final day — when he defeated Archbishop Moeller's Conner Ziegler, 3-1, in overtime.
Riley entered the final day with a shot to finish as high as third, which would match last year's performance. However, he lost his consolation semifinal match to Boardman's Nick Mancini, 6-3. The match propelled Mancini to the third-place match, and knocked Riley down to fifth.
In the fifth-place match, Ziegler scored the first point on an escape in the second period. Riley matched that with an escape in the third. Despite clamping Ziegler in a front facelock, Riley could not turn him over and could not score in regulation.
In overtime, Riley finally managed to get Ziegler's legs and take him down before he went out of bounds, scoring the winning points.
"I kept pushing him to the edge," said Riley. "I thought I would get a stalling call, but I didn't, so I did what I had to do."
"I don't know why they didn't call him for stalling," said Brown. "He was always playing the edge, backing up. ... Dakota just refused to lose, bottom line."
In the first match, Riley fell behind to Mancini in the first period with a takedown. Riley had the advantage in the second but could not turn Mancini. After an escape, the Boardman senior led, 3-0.

This research guide was created for students in NRE 301, Natural Resources and Environmental Science. It will introduce you to some basic resources for finding and evaluating information. Much of the emphasis is on library resources that will help you identify credible information sources, especially commercial databases that index and abstract scholarly and professional literature. However, an increasing amount of useful information is published directly on the WWW. This guide is also designed to help you search the Web more efficiently and critically analyze and choose the information you find there. Although this guide is by no means exhaustive, the resources listed here provide a good starting point for your research.
Research Process
The research process is often described as a series of discrete steps giving the impression that you proceed step-by-step from beginning your research to writing your paper. In fact, depending on your assignment, you may not need all the steps in the research process or you may need to revisit steps a number of times as you revise an initial research plan or even a topic depending upon what you find as you research. You may reevaluate your topic and the way you are presenting it several times before you come up with a final paper/presentation.
As you discover what information sources are available for your research, you may well have to revise your initial plan. Is your topic too broad to be covered in the time you have to research it and the assignment parameters for length? Is it so current or specific that you are experiencing difficulty finding enough information sources to support your topic?
Whether you need to proceed step-by-step through a research process or not, knowing what the steps are can help guide and focus your research and your paper/presentation. If you need to review any of the steps in the research process, please check out the link below from the Cornell University Library.

Americans Being Treated: Ebola Outbreak
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS2/FOX28) - The Peace Corps is pulling hundreds of volunteers from African countries because of the largest recorded Ebola outbreak.
More than 1,200 people have already contracted the disease, and more than half have died.
An American missionary is among those being treated, along with at least two American Peace Corps workers.
The White House says it still plans to hold a summit of African leaders in Washington next week, despite the spread of the contagious disease.

Open Left and MyDD, One Year Later
I love me some traffic charts. -Patrick
This week marks the one-year anniversary for Open Left, a spinoff of the original netroots blog, MyDD. As far as I can tell, the date was not observed on the site itself, but then Chris Bowers, Matt Stoller and the rest are busy running a political website. My own blogging though (typically at Blog P.I.) is pretty much just about political websites, so I thought it would be interesting to compare Open Left with MyDD, and see how the two sites have fared in the year since they went in different directions. Via Compete:
Here's how I'm reading this:
Open Left had a strong first two months, rising quickly to match the long-running MyDD in overall traffic. Yet MyDD's traffic was only slightly affected, if at all. How could this be? Naturally, site traffic isn't a zero sum game, and it's probable that a reader of one is a reader of both. But it took Open Left some time to pick up readers, while I've long been of the belief that as long as MyDD adequately covers its subject matter, campaign and Democratic Hill staffers will never remove it from their bookmarks.
Then MyDD achieved some separation in the late fall, which initially I'd attribute to growing interest in the presidential contest. One of the main reasons Bowers and Stoller left was to focus on the progressive movement writ large, rather than the horse race -- so it is understandable that it would not be the go-to site in the heat of the primaries. And then starting in December, MyDD really began to take off. While some of this is probably attributable to still more interest in the nominating contest, I'd wager the sharp spike owes to site founder Jerome Armstrong (along with Bowers/Stoller replacement Todd Beeton) taking the site in a strong pro-Clinton direction. This distinguished itself from most lefty blogs, which ranged from avidly pro-Obama to mildly pro-Obama (as I've discussed before, Open Left was at best tepidly pro-Obama).
Odd then, that interest peaked in late January/early February, as the nominating contest was only just getting under way. Open Left suffered a drop in traffic around this time as well, suggesting a broader trend. Traffic slowing just when things got interesting? Maybe it is more interesting to the outside observer, where the same thing is frustrating to partisans who expected to have a nominee. And then as Obama inched closer to the nomination, the interest of Clinton supporters remained flat, while the leftosphere overall turned to matters of organization rather than elections. This part, I concede is the most speculative; I admit to being a little baffled by this section of the chart.
And now? Well, the last month shows another slip in traffic for both, with MyDD staying slightly ahead. I wouldn't be surprised if this continued for another month. August is slow in politics, even in election years, and even in the blogosphere. But it seems clear that despite being an expansion team, Open Left is in the same league as MyDD. Then again, it seems no matter how big you get, there's always someone bigger than you:

The first school board meeting for Dr. H.T. Sanchez was held Tuesday tonight.
He's the newly appointed Superintendant of Tucson's largest school district.
It may be summer break, but it was a packed meeting.
Dozens turned out to welcome Dr. Sanchez, others came to give him a piece of their mind.
During the call to the audience, community members, staff and parents touched on everything from teacher pay raises, to the future of magnet schools and Mexican American Studies.
A supporter of MAS classes said, "Dr. Sanchez some of the MAS teachers went to hear you at Catalina High School, and when you talk about MAS and said you shouldn't be indoctrinating students, that was like a knife in their hearts."
"I'm a bit of a historian on TUSD, I've been following it and documenting, I watch videos when I can't be here. So I'm going to be interested in seeing the color of your hair when you leave TUSD," said another audience member. "It's kind of funny, but I'm also being serious. I mean this is a place that Dr. Pedicone couldn't even handle, and he had to quit."
Also during the meeting, an audience member had to be escorted out for disruptive outbursts.
Security removed the man and meeting continued.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is MADELINE!
Facts about MADELINE
- Breed: Maine Coon
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
MADELINE's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hello! I'm the very beautiful Madeline! I'm a 2 year old long haired torti girl and I'm more than ready for my forever home! I came from a hoarding situation where I was the only survivor. Then I spent months at a town shelter. I've been through so much and I'm just ready to move onto my happy ending. Could you help me out with that? I'm a very sweet, mellow girl that needs a patient and loving home to help bring me out of my shell. You can pet me all day long..and brush me..oh and I'm even well behaved for a BATH! I'm incredibly easy-going. Come meet me already!! Email firstname.lastname@example.com to set up an appointment!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
MADELINE, a Huntington Maine Coon cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maine Coon for sale in Huntington, or seeking a Maine Coon cat from a breeder in Huntington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Huntington 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 Huntington 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 Maine Coon breeders who help with Maine Coon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Huntington paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Package
Upon checking out the Galaxy box, we can see the name across the top of the box while the middle is taken up mainly by a picture of a spider on a web. Here we can also see the Xtreme Tuner sticker, which is Galaxy's own overclocking software.
Across the bottom of the box we have a number of logos, one of which is a new one. We can see that there is mention of this card being 3D Vision ready, which is of course the new 3D gaming technology released a few months ago. To make use of it, though, you will need the glasses and a compatible monitor. Moving along the bottom of the box, we also see that the card is HDMI ready and we of course see the model mentioned and the fact that the card comes with 1GB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit memory bus.
Turning the box over, we've just got a bit of information on the technology present in the GPU and what it's capable of. We also have a bit of a blurb on PhysX and a run-down on SLI and what's needed to get it going.
Moving inside the package, we've got a fair bit going on here. Apart from the standard manual and driver disc, we have the Xtreme Tuner software that we saw mentioned on the front of the box along with a user guide on how to operate it. Finally, we have another piece of paper that lets us know how the HDMI loop-back cable works.
In the cable department we have two dual molex to 6-pin PCI Express power connectors, an S-Video TV-Out cable, S/PDIF cable to get sound through a HDMI port and also a S-Video to Component convertor.

A year ago my wife and I put in an engineered floor in our 3500 sq home in Orange County, California. We were looking for a Brazilian Cherry, but ended putting in Santos Mahogany because of the better "uniformity".
We shopped everything from crappy 2' Brazilian from China to very expensive Mannington. We ended up using:
Pros: Beautiful Coloring, Uniform color, 4' planks (make sure you don't get a lot of short planks!), Cost: very reasonable
I highly recommend this product if you can tolerate the "pea size" shattered lacquer if you drop a fork. Feel free to contact me with questions. |

I've been using this for a while, and I like it pretty well. I think it's a fine moisturizer, though a tad too greasy for under eye wear. probabaly wouldn't buy again for that "grease" factor.
This is a very nice, light eye cream to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. It is not greasy or stickly and seems to absorb into my skin very quickly.

Get to know the not so Bad Habits of Vancouver's Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
When life's a drag, who doesn't want some joy from some fun-loving nuns? Well, in the past, unfortunately, not everybody did. But these Sisters are doing it for themselves and everyone else.
A group of gay men launched the first Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco over 30 years ago with the intent of using their theatrical, entertaining sense of humour to spread joy to all of humanity. Whee! But don't write them off as fluffy. Their silly side fronts a devotion to serious causes, including human rights and health issues.
There are now over 30 Orders and Missions around the world, in countries as varied as Australia, Colombia, France, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.
Canada's first chapter was launched in Toronto in 1981 but folded in 1986.
However, the Sisters made a Canadian comeback when Sisters Merry Q. Contrary and Ethica Slüt started the Abbey of the Long Cedar Canoe here in little ol' Vancouver in 2010.
Sister Merry told the Straight by phone that their flamboyant appearance in actuality helps people to see something else beyond the surface.
"One of the things that I thought the Sisters could bring to Vancouver was an ability to make it more okay to be different," she said. "We don't always treat our people who are different very well…. We look very different—whiteface, dimples, and veils—so it gives people an opportunity to see someone who looks different or as some people say, 'look like a freak' but are doing really good charitable work."
Vancouver's chapter is focussing on HIV/AIDS, conducting outreach to LGBT communities (with a focus on safe sex), and homelessness (including handing out sleeping bags on the Downtown Eastside).
Director Kevin O'Keefe captured the sisterhood's reestablishment in Canada in his documentary Bad Habits: The Return of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
"It explores the tension between traditional religious orders and the Sisters and whether or not the Sisters are really nuns," Sister Merry said. "It even has a Catholic nun saying, 'In my view, these Sisters are nuns.' "
The film will have its Vancouver premiere at the Junction (1138 Davie Street) tonight (March 29) at 7 p.m. In line with the Sisters' dedication to social causes, fundraiser for the volunteer-driven A Loving Spoonful (which provides free meals to people with HIV/AIDS).
(You can also make it a full night out devoted to supporting important causes by participating in Dining Out for Life, which is also held in Vancouver today, before the screening.)
While the film documents the work that they're doing and the glorious fun they're having, it also provides history of the Sisters and the controversies and opposition the sisterhood faced in Canada from religious critics who perceived them as blasphemous and didn't find them a laughing matter.
"My sense in Toronto, they were a little ahead of their time," Sister Merry said. "And they at one point asked the community for permission to exist. And the community said, 'Well, you can, but are people seeing the right thing when they see you?' And our approach has been to say, 'We're here, how do we best serve you as a community?' "
Sister Merry's biggest hope is that people come out to their event and get to know more about the breadth of work that they do.
"Most people, especially in the gay, lesbian, bi, and trans communities know us as street performance, and bar ministry, and distributing condoms…but we also support other communities groups through grants and fundraising," she said. "And the Sisters have long been fairly outspoken advocates for people that the rest of our society tends to leave behind. And so a lot of the work that we're doing now is around transgender issues because gender seems to be the next issue in our society to wrestle with."
Here's a video featuring Sister Merry talking about Vancouver's Sisters (supporting AIDS Vancouver's Red Ribbon Month in 2010) and providing more insight about them.

Do any of you know of good places to buy 50-60 gallon oak whisky barrels in the area around Atlanta (say, an hour drive radius around the city)? Something in the range of a price of less than $75/barrel? A lot of them come from good ol' Kentucky, but shipping prices of them are outrageous when looking online.
I want to purchase 3-4 of them for collecting water from downspouts. I am thinking of installing an automatic irrigation system in my yard that taps off of these instead of my water main. That way, I'm preventing more water run-off into the storm sewers (for every new house developed in the city of Atlanta, the less surface area for water to be absorbed into the soil), am not utilizing stressed water systems during our typical drought period in August/September (unless hurricanes come through, of course), and I can tap pumps directly to the barrels and don't have to worry about my DIY-self causing a water-main burst as I try and tap into it. Yes, I will do all I can to keep mosquitoes from being fostered in the barrels (sealed tightly or screen on any exposed areas), and will be sure to monitor the barrels for them. I don't want to inadvertantly create an environmental hazard. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Empty plastic 55 gallon drums can be had for around $10 from companies that use chemicals delivered in them. They are easy to wash out with detergent or liquid dish soap. I just got a metal one from Jiffy Lube for free that I used to extend the exhaust from my AC unit. Just make sure the chemicals that came in it weren't something really hazardous. |
I heard you can also get ones that food products were delivered in. One site I found says "I bought reconditioned food grade plastic barrels at a used container place. If you can get larger ones, you won't have to connect them together. This will save time and money. Look in the yellow pages under containers or barrels - used. I paid $15 each for four 55 gallon drums." |
last year Kroger sold Jack Daniels half-barrels for $15 each.... I've been watching like a hawk for them to start up again, and I'll let you know if they do. I want at least 3 more :) |
Bought one last year from Wal-Mart for the same reason. It was about $40...wish I'd have bought a couple. Maybe I'll go check again for another? Good website for how to put a rain barrel together.... www.cwp.org/Community_Watersheds/brochure.pdf |

I just saw them at Walmart the other day, don't rememeber the price though. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus (My Page) on Thu, Apr 27, 06 at 12:29
Drewl, are you wanting the real thing or a replica or just anything tht will work? What would you be willing to pay for shipping from KY? |
I saw them at Garden Ridge in Kennesaw, but I didn't think to look at the price. I did notice that they have 25% off planters. |
Hello Quirkyquercus, I wanted the real-thing in terms of the full, sealable, wooden barrels. I actually already laid down the money for them. Shipping was pricey . . . about $40/barrel (each barrel weighs 115 lbs. unfilled). They were air-freighted to Hartsfield-Jackson. I'll be picking them up tomorrow. Okay, and I need to do better about proofreading my titles. I proofread the message, but then noticed that I accidentally had a '4' in front of the 50. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus (My Page) on Fri, Apr 28, 06 at 10:50
Cool! Those are going to be some nice barrels. The reason I asked is because I sometime have to go up that way on business and figured I could accomodate some extra passengers if you were getting gouged on shipping. |
austins garden center will have whole whisky barrels starting 9/24 while supplies last,in chattanooga |

I know it's further than you want to drive but I bought an authentic sealed Wild Turkey whiskey barrel from a little garden decor place in Anniston which is about 30 miles West of the GA State Line on the Alabama Side. Not sure how many gallons it is as I use mine for a rustic looking trash can. I'd guess 45+ gal comparing it to the size of one of my large rubbermaid trashcans. I got this 3 years ago and at the time it was $40. If anyone else is ever interested I can always stop by that place anytime I go for groceries and see if they still sell them and how much. I want to get more and put them under my downspouts for rain collection too but I suppose I need gutters first lol. Maybe next year. Sincerely, Danielle |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 07 at 23:33
Thought I'd post the pic if anyone wanted to see it. This sucker is heavy! It was sealed tight...didn't have a removeable lid just a corked hole on the side. I cut the top off with a reciprocating saw, screwed a couple of 1x4 slats going perpendicular to the underside of the lid slats so that it would help hold them all together once the lid was cut free. Then screwed an iron drawer pull to the top for a handle. The smell of the whiskey could almost knock you out when it was opened. Still smelled of whiskey for a good year lol! Danielle |
- Posted by Elizabeth Cook 8(firstname.lastname@example.com) onFri, Dec 28, 07 at 23:45
My husband is looking for several whisky barrels for the use of garbage cans. If you are in the neighborhood, please stop in and see if the little garden decor place in Anniston has any available and the price. Thank you in advance. Elizabeth |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sun, Dec 30, 07 at 2:43
Hi Elizabeth. I will do that next time I go...probably this week. I'd forgotten all about this thread. Sincerely, Danielle |

You might check the Home Depot. They are selling whole, wooden whiskey barrels which have been adapted specifically for use as rain barrels out here in Carrolton. I think they were around $125 apiece. |
sounds like alot of interest in these babies. i used to buy them by the truckload from a distillery in albany area back in the mid 70's. likely sources closer than ken. are available. why don't you all get together and do a group buy. personally i'm looking for used food grade plastic barrels in the north metro area... alph to canton. cheap!! anybody recommend a source? |
Yes, I can recomend a source.. I got a FREE 55 gallon blue plastic barrell at a carwash. Mosquitos are a problem yes, a tiny bit of bleach will keep them out and not harm the plants( please research the ratio before using bleach.) you only need a little bit. They are predicting heavy droughts this year and next... so I think it's very wise of yall to do this. |

Figure 1: Formation of ascorbic acid from glucose
Figure 2: The process of collagen formation
Figure 3: The hydroxylation process
Figure 4: Vitamin C regenerates vitamin E
Figure 5: The action of GSH on hydrogen peroxide
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is the prince of vitamins and the first dietary substance associated with curing a disease known as scurvy, a deadly and painful illness that was prevalent before James Lind, MD, discovered the cure in 1747. He established that the absence of a compound in the diet was the cause of scurvy. Lind died in 1794 at 78, and the following year, the British Admiralty adopted the use of citrus foods as the prevention of scurvy. In 1935, vitamin C was synthesized in pure form.
Vitamin C is also an important part of a variety of bodily functions, ranging from bone formation to scar tissue repair. It is the major water-soluble antioxidant, it destroys free radicals, it plays a critical role in hydroxylation reactions that are essential for the formation of collagen, and carnitine synthesis uses vitamin C as a reducing agent. It is directly involved in the formation of norepinephrine and serotonin, two important substances needed for the proper function of the nervous system; and it is also involved in the synthesis of hormones, hormone-releasing factors and neurotransmitters.
The chemistry of vitamin Ca and its role in the body can be more easily understood if you remember that it is a reducing agent. This means that it donates hydrogen to other compounds. Vitamin C is formed from glucose in the bodies of most animals, except primates and guinea pigs. Humans lack the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase, which converts glucose to ascorbic acid. Although other enzymes are also required for the conversion, this one is definitely lacking. Take a look at the vitamin C molecule in Figure 1. It is a simple sugar molecule with a slight modification. The important parts of this figure are the two OH groups (hydroxyl groups) on the vitamin C molecule. It is the loss of the hydrogen atoms from these OHs that makes vitamin C a hydrogen donor and, therefore, a reducing agent.
Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is an oil-soluble vitamin antioxidant and a reducing agent. It has only one OH group on the end, which is the active part of the molecule that donates the hydrogen atom in an antioxidant reaction. Now, here is the bad thing about vitamin E; losing a hydrogen from the hydroxyl group converts the molecule of vitamin into a quinone. So what, you say, is the big deal? Quinones are highly reactive molecules associated with neoplastic disordersb. The OH group is converted to carbonyl—that is to a -C=O—which can very easily react with proteins and make them nonfunctional. Along comes vitamin C and donates an H+ to the -C=O, changing back to the more beneficial -OH group. This is a very necessary function of vitamin C as a critical part of the antioxidant defense system.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body; it makes up 70% of the dry weight of human skin and is a critical component of the vascular and muscular system. Vitamin C is essential to the formation of collagen. Although collagen formation is a complex process, the steps can be limited to only seven: four inside the fibroblasts and three in the cytoplasm. This process, diagrammed in Figure 2, is in a schematic form.

Welcome to your first step in learning how to sell.
Pop your details in below to get immediate access to my first 15 mins sales training module (video, workbook and helpful emails) that will help you start improving your sales today!
Sales are the lifeblood of your business. You may get 100's, if not 1000's of new enquiries every year… BUT converting those leads to new business, consistently takes specialised sales skills.
I work with business owners who spend time and money preparing great marketing campaigns but forget to learn how to put their best foot forward at the crucial selling stage. KISS to Sell can help you turn around those missed opportunities and get new paying clients!
If you are the owner or founder of your business then you are the best person to sell your business, but you don't necessarily think of yourself as a sales person or that you have the necessary skills. But you know it's so important to get it 'right' first time, as it can make or break a deal. KISS To Sell is selling for non-sales people. The program is written for people just like you.
I have spent over 18 years testing what works and what doesn't with 100's of clients and businesses.
I've made businesses prosper by giving them the insider strategies that nobody else will share with them. I've personally helped them attract and successfully 'win' more sales whilst still maintaining a very high level of integrity.
"Fran, it's people like you who help teach me the rules to make accessible this new world. You make explicit these 'implicit rules' that nobody teaches us."

City remembers Abad Santos in Lanao
-A A +ATuesday, May 8, 2012
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The City Government of San Fernando recently sent a delegation to Lanao del Sur to lay wreaths in commemoration of the 70th death anniversary of martyr Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos.
City Administrator Ferdinand Caylao told Sun.Star Pampanga Tuesday that the contingent was led by Lanao Muslim Traders Association president Macaslang Bitiarra and the city's Muslim coordinator Kaiser Manguranda.
"Though Congress acknowledges May 7 as the day of our Kapampangan hero's death, research shows it's May 2. Nonetheless, the city sent a delegation to Malabang, Lanao Del Sur to commemorate the death anniversary of Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos," Caylao said.
It was the same group, along with Caylao and other Muslims in the area, who helped track down and identify the exact assassination place of Abad Santos under Japanese captors during World War II, when the Kapampangan hero refused to give in to the wishes of the invaders.
The agreement to put up a monument and marker for Abad Santos was forged with the Philippine Army and local officials in Malabang for the construction of a monument upon the insistence of Mayor Oscar Rodriguez. (Jovi T. De Leon)

We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.

This lightweight bronzing gel smoothes on easily and provides a convincing tan tint. Its texture is ideal for normal to oily or breakout-prone skin. The problem: It contains numerous fragrance chemicals that cause irritation. The irritation in turn leads to collagen breakdown, causes dryness, and impairs your skin's healing process.
Many brands offer tinted self-tanners and bronzing gels that omit these problematic ingredients, so there's no need to settle for one that contains them. Please see our list of Best Bronzing Powders, Gels, and Liquids for great options!
This velvety smooth, tinted facial lotion gives an ultra-even all over glow to the face. Deeply hydrating, Wash Off Instant Glow Face will leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and radiant. Free from tanning agent, the lotion is non-transferable so you can tan and go.
Water, Butylene Glycol, Diisostearyl Malate, Caramel, PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Coumarin, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone, Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue 1
St. Tropez (pronounced "Saint Tro-pay") claims first and foremost to be all about getting a safe, sexy tan from self-tanners, but loading up your skin with fragrance that causes irritation runs a close second!
It isn't often that we rate self-tanning products poorly; after all, the vast majority of them use the same one or two ingredients (dihydroxyacetone and/or erythrulose) to turn your skin tan. And, most of them are formulated in pleasant, although basic, lotion, cream, gel, or liquid (aerosol) bases to make application smooth. Generally, the formulations of self-tanning products are a minor detail; much more important is your technique in applying it.
We rate almost all of St. Tropez's self-tanning options poorly because they contain numerous fragrance chemicals known to cause irritation. Examples of such ingredients are eugenol, citral, linalool, and limonene.
If a leave-on product contains only one or two of these fragrance chemicals and only low amounts, it's not a deal-breaker for your skin, but when several of them are present, even in low amounts, the combination can add up to an incredibly irritating product that hurts your skin.
What kind of hurt? Daily, chronic irritation from the litany of fragrance chemicals in these St. Tropez products can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Given that this group of products is unusually expensive and that it puts your skin at risk of irritation: Why bother? Besides, there are hundreds of self-tanners and bronzers that do not contain these problematic ingredients—so you can enjoy a sunless tan knowing that you're continuing to take the best possible care of your skin!

Gardens Collaborate on Collections DatabaseUNITED STATES
8 September 2006
The Chicago Botanic Garden, in collaboration with APGA, the University of Kansas, and 15 public gardens nationwide, is developing PlantCollections, a distributed database system for web-based querying that will allow information from multiple institutions currently in a variety of incompatible database formats to be accessed and integrated into comprehensive inventories. The results can then be analyzed to identify gaps and redundancies within the combined holdings, a first step in coordinating a continent-wide approach to plant germplasm preservation. This 3-year project will strengthen relationships among the participating institutions and foster the sharing of information with the public. Landis Arboretum, located in the Albany, N.Y., area, is one of 15 public gardens nationwide chosen to participate with The Chicago Botanic Garden in the development of a database system for people asking about plant collections online. The system will be designed to allow each data provider to maintain control of its own data. It will link databases using a protocol called Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (DiGIR), the most widely used data sharing software for biological collections. The application of this open-source web-based software with an active user community will ensure support for forward mobility to new technology in the future. The decentralized structure of the network places data updates directly in the hands of plant records managers at each institution, ensuring accurate, current information. |

Meet Kyra. She's a 16-year-old potions master on the run after attempting to poison her kingdom's future ruler, who also happens to be her ex-best friend. (I know! Drama!) Now a wanted fugitive, Kyra's only hope lies with… a pig?
"Can she save the kingdom with a piglet?" reads the cover tagline of Poison, the YA debut from the late Bridget Zinn. Ridiculous? Yes.

leia and redemption are in play.

leia and redemption are in play.
leia is destroyed. what happens?
is leia captured? returned to the players hand? are focus tokens removed?
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:21 PM
The active player decides which order to play the interrupts, but in this case it doesn't matter - she's captured either way. If you play Redemption's first:
1. Leia is destroyed.
2. Leia's destruction is interrupted by Redemption, saving her from being destroyed.
3. The second bit of Redemption kicks in, returning Leia to her owner's hand.
4. Since "return to hand" is a leave play effect, Leia's, constant kicks in, resulting in her being captured.
If Leia's kicks in first, she's captured and Redemption's interrupt can't trigger because she's no longer in play.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:49 PM
leia's capture text isnt an "interrupt" so im a bit confused still.
going by your answer redemption would never kick in. once leia is discarded her "constant" would kick in and she would be captured.
i dont see how it would matter but since this is a rules question.. does leia's interrupt text take precedence over her game text? meaning does she get captured first or are focus tokens removed first? If the answer you gave is correct leia's interrupt action will not take effect till after she is freed from capture(i think).
Posted 23 November 2012 - 11:20 PM
I'll try and word it another way.
Leia is destroyed.
At this point, all interrupts to her being destroyed / leaving play are triggered (if the controlling player's choose … they're always optional unless forced). Interrupts are always executed before the actual triggering event (her being destroyed) executes. This is why her capture text doesn't execute first … the interrupts need to resolve before she's actually destroyed / leaves play.
Walking through the options:
Let's say the active player only triggers Leia's interrupt. Focus tokens are removed, the interrupt is resolved. Then the triggering event is resolved. She's destroyed, but the act of leaving play at this point resolves and she's captured.
Let's say the active player does Leia's first (focus tokens are removed). then Redemption's (return to owner's hand). The act of returning it to the owner's hand triggers Leia's constant - she's captured. In this case, the original triggering event (Leia's destruction) is never actually resolved … she's out of play before it gets back to that point in the push/pop stack. But it all nets out the same as the first option.
Let's say the active player does Redemption's interrupt first. Bad mistake. Leia returns to hand and her constant ability kicks in and she's captured. Her interrupt ability (removing focus tokens) is no longer in play and can't be executed. Order is important.
Hope that helps.

Purchased this on a whim while at the drugstore. The color Pink Frosting jumped out at me.
Texture is powdery-gel, mousse like. Blush is easy to control when applied (use my fingertip), and feels lightweight and creamy. Finish is soft and pretty. If one prefers to always wear a medium to high pigmented blush, don't purchase this because it is lightly pigmented. Personally, I like the soft and pretty finish Dream Bouncy Blush provides.
This blush comes in ten lovely colors. Hoping Maybelline will add warmer, deeper colors for the fall.

I remember when Maybelline first came out with the Dream whipped products and the blushes were among one of the first things I bought. I had the Dream mousse blush in Pink Frosting. At the time, I didn't like the product - It didn't seem to last on my skin and the colour didn't show up well. I think I ended up giving the product away or I threw it out.
Maybelline has since discontinued the Dream Mousse line and brought in this "Dream Bouncy" blush with doppleganger names and colours - it's essentially the exact same product, except not whipped into a mousse consistency. I got Pink Frosting again (Nostalgia hit hard) and I have to say I really like this product, especially in the winter. The creamy texture goes on nicely (though you need to moisturize well - it will cling to any dry patches), the colour shows up and it wears well throughout the day. Not 12 hour wear, but a good 6 hours at least.
I much prefer this packaging to the Dream Mousse blushes - the glass jars were bulky and heavy. I probably won't buy other colours since I have several blushes already, but I would repurchase this one!

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Blond Eyes: Brown
I bought two or three of these blushes because the colors looked great & I am always on the look-out for nice creme type blushes (it seems harder to find creme blushes that are nice than powder ones). I really did not like these. I get it that they are supposed to be "sheer," but come on, when the pink frosting color doesn't show up at all on a pale girl like me, you obviously have no pigmentation in your product - just gunk. Thick, waxy, pore-clogging gunk. Using a brush with this proved nearly impossible without wreaking the brush, making fingers the obvious applicator. After just a few uses, the product looks like a gross, sliding pile of goop, kind of like the ripples of liquid magma from a volcano. It's pretty obviously NOT made from anything you should want to put on your skin. Add that to the lack of coloration, and I ended up throwing all mine away after just a few weeks. I will stick to my 100 Percent Pure creme blush sticks. They are all natural/vegetarian, have no animal testing, and have a really pretty color payoff.

While the packaging is pretty awful for this blush, it's such a pretty color! I wanted a true pink blush to wear some days unlike my Nars blush, which has gold shimmer in it. This is a really pretty color but I think it's such a pain to put on. I'm not a cream blush fan for the most part because I hate applying it with my fingers, but what can I say, it was kind of an impulse buy. However, I've done much worse in the blush department. (Milani, I'm looking at you!)

If you are really fair, this is the perfect pink for you! It's a blue-toned pink, and that's my fav. I use a small brush to apply instead of using my fingers. I found that using a brush doesn't knock off my foundation & powder.
The packaging could be better (minus one lippie). It's a little hard to open. My son poked his finger down in it, but I scraped it back together. I want to try the other colors!

Age: 36-43 Skin: Very Oily, Fair Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Blue
I have a love/hate thing going with this blush. The texture is just bizarre; I can only describe it as mushy. As a result, it's a challenge to get the right amount of product on my fingertips: I either end up with too little or way too much. When first applied, this shade is a scary 80's-bright pink.
Now for the love: Once blended out, it becomes a very wearable, natural pop of color. It doesn't seem to last though, wearing off after a few hours.
Overall, the wierd texture keeps me from reaching for this blush very often.

i got the dream bouncy blush in pink frosting and i liked it alot! it isnt really pigmented so i would stick to a brighter color like pink frosting. it is a creamy blush. it is kinda hard to blend but it does fade into a natural looking color and lasts all day! though it isnt really that cheap. i got mine for $7 and i think it is exspensive! i think it should be like $4 instead because i thought it would be bigger first of all and its pretty small. and there isnt much product in there. but its totally worth it because of the bounciness! i wouldnt recommend this product for darker skin though.

I love Bouncy Blush as it is (buildable color, easy to apply, long lasting), but this color kicks a$$. As I emerge from my new mom coma, I needed something to perk up my tired cheeks - as soon as I put this on, visitors were telling me that I looked so much "healthier" than when I was in the hospital - more back to my "normal self." Excellent product and color!

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium Eyes: Brown
I have to admit, I'm a little surprised by all the negativity surrounding these blushes. I got mine after hearing all the hype, and I picked it up in Pink Frosting. I don't like my blush to be super dark, but I don't want it to be so light it's invisible. That's why I thought this creamy, frosting colored pink would be perfect. It can be a little hard to blend on the skin, so be careful not to use too much product at once. Also, don't dig your fingers into it, as you could loosen the product from the container and cause it to fall out. (I know I've heard about multiple people having that problem, although I have yet to run into it) The blush really sits on the skin and doesn't fade easily. It lasts all day and gives a gorgeous flush that hasn't been replicated by other blushes. My advice is to be careful and not use a heavy hand while applying. People say that these blushes aren't pigmented enough, which shocks me. I have to be careful with mine because it's so pigmented! Maybe Pink Frosting is just a really good color? Regardless, I think these blushes are worth a shot if you're tired of powder and want to try something new.

Preventing Bacteria Growth
Name: Sierra Status: Student Grade: 6-8 Location: N/A Country: United States Date: Fall 2009
How can bacteria be prevented from growing on living tissues?
Bacteria live on and in your body now -- most are beneficial, and a few are harmful. All of the bacteria together are called the "normal flora". Bacteria serve important functions in digestion and also in helping your immune system.
Some people think bacteria are "bad" -- but most bacteria are helpful or benign. Despite that most bacteria are not "bad", some people buy anti-bacterial products and take antibiotics every time they get sick. These products kill all kinds of bacteria, even the good ones. One problem with overuse or misuse of such products is that they can cause bacteria to become resistant to drugs and other treatments. A very serious problem is hospitals are so called "super-bugs" that are resistant to drugs and are very hard to treat. Another problem is that the "normal flora" help your body to defeat harmful infections -- the "good bacteria" compete with the "bad" ones, and help prevent the harmful ones from getting established. Over-using antibacterial products can actually help the harmful bacteria by eliminating their competition.
That said, there are many ways to kill bacteria on or in your body. On your skin, the easiest way is to wash with hot, soapy water. Peroxide, iodine, betadine, antibiotic ointment, and many other topical treatment can also help reduce/kill/remove bacteria. Inside your body it's a little harder. A healthy immune system is the best defense, but sometimes drugs (antibiotics) are necessary to stop dangerous infections. In rare cases, even surgery is used to remove infected tissue.
Hope this helps,
It can't! Nor do you necessarily want to! Only 1% of known bacteria are disease-causing (pathogenic). Most either do no harm, or provide benefits. The only way to prevent bacteria is to be born by C-section and placed immediately into a sterile room for the rest of your life. And come to think of it, I'm not sure even that would prevent it.
