Iv been told to use a sawzall but was wondering if something else was available which would cut tight with the wall and not deep enough to hit the joists. |

Harbor Freight tools has a Crain toe kick saw knock off. Do a internet search for "toe kick saw" |

Toe kicks can be dangerous to use but it is the tool for the job. Be careful. |
I had no idea that toe kick saw existed. Nice. Still looks like it cuts maybe 1/2 from the wall.. Which wouldn't be seen after drywall. Thanks! |
Would a roto zip with right angle attachment also do the trick? I dont have either tool but leaning toward the rotozip since it's a multi purpose tool. |
Roto Zip is not all that effective at wood. Adequate for a small job, a real PITA for anything larger. You might be able to rent a jamb saw. |
The Crain toe kick saw will cut flush to a vertical surface, if that is what you want. Yes, toe kick saws can be dangerous, so be careful. |
The toe kick saw is good for one thing. How about the Fein 250Q MultiMaster which could be used for more projects? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fein 250Q MultiMaster
"The Crain toe kick saw will cut flush to a vertical surface," Funny, mine sure does. |

Family Law Lawyers Serving Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska
Call us nowor use the form below.Try Our Child Support Calculator FindersFrequently Asked Questions About Family LawQ: What is the legal definition of marriage? A: Most states define marriage as a civil contract between a man and a woman to become husband and wife. The standard way to marry is to get a marriage license from a state-authorized official and participate in a formal civil or religious wedding ceremony. While most states will not issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, the laws regarding same-sex marriage continue to evolve. Contact an attorney to learn more about the marriage laws in your state. Q: What are the legal effects of marriage? A: There are many federal and state laws that benefit married couples. Some examples include the right to file joint income tax returns, create a family limited partnership (FLP) under federal tax laws, create a marital life estate trust, receive survivor benefits, receive a share of your deceased spouse's estate under intestate succession laws and claim the estate tax marital deduction. |
More than 67% of newlyweds believe the most serious conflict in their first year of marriage is over money. |
Our family law attorneys help spouses and parents make important decisions during difficult times. At the Klass Law Firm we serve families in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota who are going through the challenging process of divorce. Our Sioux City law office handles child custody disputes, child support agreements, alimony, and adoption. To discuss your case, contact our experienced family law attorneys.
Family Law - An Overview
Family law is the term applied to the laws and rules developed regarding family relationships. Family law rules define not only the relationships between members of a family but also between a family and society as a whole. More than any other area of the law, family law reflects the values society shares regarding how people who are related should treat each other. When you are faced with an important life decision regarding a key family relationship, the advice and assistance of a family law attorney often proves crucial to your understanding of the issues involved and your satisfaction with the ultimate outcome of your family law matter.
Typically, family law attorneys assist people in making and breaking family relationships. Specific areas of representation include marriage and relationship planning, divorce, paternity, child custody and child support. Some family law attorneys also provide assistance in the area of adoption.
Child Support
There are millions of divorced parents who pay or receive child support. Federal legislation and uniform state laws exist to make enforcement and collection of child support easier for America's single parents. Because every state uses its own guidelines for establishing child support and each has various methods to set support amounts and recover support when it is overdue, it is often important to consult with a family law attorney who is familiar with the child support guidelines and child support enforcement laws in your state.
Deciding to pursue divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional decisions you will ever make, particularly if you have children. Divorce also involves financial matters that must be resolved and legal issues that must be addressed.
Custody and Visitation
When parents divorce, it is important to learn about the child custody and visitation options that are available and the legal standards that apply. In many cases, divorcing couples can ultimately agree on custody and visitation issues without the need for a court order. When an agreement cannot be reached, knowledgeable advice and representation from a family law attorney can often make the difference.
Marriage is a voluntary, private contract between two adults. While it is a personal and emotional commitment, it is also a legal relationship that changes the legal status of both parties. A family law attorney can help you to understand the legal technicalities of marriage.

Another month gone. Another chance to look back on some (but not nearly all) of our Instagram highlights from the last 30 days, in case you missed them on Facebook & Twitter as they happened.
As for our personal favorites o' the month, I just couldn't get over this shot of the open-faced lemon sandwich (topped with salad dressing) that has become a staple at Clara's play kitchen. She even pretends to eat it and then says "yucky yucky – so sour!" while puckering up her face. Gotta get that on video…
John once again picked a photo he snagged during one of his morning runs. I mean, if you know him at all, you know that he couldn't NOT pick the shot of the bicycle. He says it also gets him excited for fall.
When we asked Clara her favorite one of the month, she initially picked the same one that I chose (probably because she had a hankering for a lemon sandwich) but when pressed for a second option she chose this one. It's a covert image I snapped of John during a meeting at our house (yes, he wore this to a meeting). When I asked Clara why she picked it she simply said "I like Daddy." Heart officially melted.
What was your September like as far as Instagram goes? Any favorite 'grams this month?
It's Always A Goat Time
Yes, that was a terrible play on "it's always a good time." I'll pause while you roll your eyes. But if you've ever thought to yourself, "This blog doesn't have nearly enough photos of goats on it" then you're in luck. Because last week we hit up the State Fair of Virginia (our little fall tradition) and Clara was in farm animal heaven.
She was as fearless as usual when it came to shoving a handful of feed in their mouths. But there was one goat that maaaaa'd at her and she was not letting him have the last say. So she "maaaaa'd" right back.
If this isn't a goat photobomb then I don't know what is. Here's looking at you, kid. Note: pun totally intended.
Sherry also learned her lesson not to snuggle too close. In an attempt to pose for an Instagram picture, she got an earful of goat tongue. And I got this lovely snapshot.
Our $2 cup of goat feed eventually ran out and we managed to peel Clara away from her adopted herd without too much trouble. After all, there was the promise of baby ducks in her future…
Not only were there baby ducks, they were on a duck slide. Complete and total entertainment.
Clara also loved checking out the baby chicks that had just hatched. The booth was a little steamy so it was hard to get a good peek this year…
… so sadly we didn't get to totally recreate this precious moment from last year's fair.
Soon we made our way down from the farm land to the fun land so that we could stroll around, check out the rides, and enjoy the lights.
But as soon as we realized that Clara was tall enough to actually ride the rides this year, well, we spent a good portion of the evening like this: watching her go around in circles on everything from boats to alligators.
There was even a carousel ride, although Clara decided to switch things up and asked to take a spin on the bench instead.
And then there was the worm ride. Let's just say this was a huge hit for our worm-loving girl (see her second b-day party for more evidence of worm-loving behavior).
Next door to the worms-spinning-around-an-apple ride was the caterpiller-spinning-around-a-birdsnest ride. I realize this pic is blurry, but it was just the cutest thing. Clara really wanted to sit next to this other little girl (they were the only two on the ride) and the little girl was a very good sport about it. Looks like they even had fun together!
We were too big for most of the ride Clara could go on. But that didn't stop us from enjoy this "rest area" together.
Or the obligatory photo op spots. Sherry realized only afterwards that she was telling Clara to "get lost."
Before we left we of course had to squeeze a treat in there. Clara said she wanted cotton candy. Though based on her reaction, it became immediately apparently that she didn't realize what cotton candy was. This was pretty much the look we got: "You want me to put this in my mouth?!"
Sherry and I treated ourselves to a Red Velvet Funnel Cake, which we both agreed was just a regular funnel cake with red food coloring. It was still disgustingly delicious, although we couldn't quite finish it off. I blame the cotton candy appetizer.
So with sugar-filled bellies, slightly-emptier wallets (those rides aren't cheap!), and a tired little lady ready to have goat-filled dreams, we finally called it a night. And I think we can all agree on one word to describe the evening…
Are you guys hitting up any state fairs? Or doing other fall things like hay-riding or apple-picking?

How the ITP Works
Information Session:
An information will be held to acquaint prospective students with the JCCC Interpreter Training Program and the field of interpreting in general. All students considering application to the program are encouraged to attend. This session will be offered January 28, 2015 from 5 p.m.-6 p.m.
Limited Space
The ITP accepts up to 24 students each year. If you are not accepted when you first apply:
- You must submit a new ITP application and you will be considered as a first-time applicant.
- You might consider working toward the ASL Certificate while waiting to reapply to the ITP.
- Two college-credit courses in American Sign Language (ASL)
Johnson County Community College offers Elementary ASL I (INTR 120) and Elementary ASL II (INTR 121) that will satisfy this requirement. These courses must be passed with a grade of "B" or higher in order to be considered for admission to the Interpreter Training Program (ITP).
Note: If you have ASL courses from another college or conversational fluency from a source other than college coursework, please email Darryl Luton to schedule an ASL Proficiency Interview. This is the only way to determine if an ASL course may be waived. - English Composition I (ENGL 121)
This course must be passed with a grade of "B" or higher in order to be considered for admission into the ITP. English proficiency is a critical prerequisite skill to the skill of interpreting.
Conditional acceptance may be granted to those students who have not completed all pre-requisites prior to the application deadline. However, all prerequisites to admission must be successfully completed (with the required minimum grades) prior to the first semester of courses. - Grade of "C" or higher
Only courses with grades of "C' or higher will be accepted as transfer credits to apply toward the AAS in American Sign Language-English Interpreter Preparation program. A minimum cumulative college GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale is required to be eligible for application to the AEIP. If you have not completed at least 12 hours of college credit, your high school GPA will be used. - ACT Test Scores
You must have applied to the JCCC program before testing. Results of ACT tests taken prior to February 16, 2008 are not acceptable. In order to be eligible for an interview you must score a minimum of 21 on the composite portion. ACT scores MUST be turned in prior to the application deadline. For information about taking the ACT test if you need to, contact the Testing Center.
Enrollment in Program:
The courses must be taken sequentially as outlined in the Associate of Applied Science degree requirements. If you drop any AEIP course without prior approval from the program facilitator, you will be dropped from the program and will need to reapply to the AEIP in order to re-enroll.
Grades in the Program:
All students are expected to earn a grade of "C" or higher in all courses in order to continue. Students not earning at least a grade of "C" in both the AEIP and general education requirements will not be allowed to continue in the program.
During your third semester, you will participate in 30 hours of off-site observation. During your fourth semester, you will complete 270 hours of off-site fieldwork.
Lab Work in the Language Resource Center:
Lab work is incorporated into many of the skills classes. For this reason, the number of contact hours per week will exceed the number of credit hours in some classes. These additional hours help ensure that you have sufficient practice time and opportunities to work individually, with another student, or in small groups. You will view videotapes and use audiotapes for additional practice in the Language Resource Center. You will also be expected to meet with Deaf people in the community, attend Deaf functions, and participate in a planned "silent weekend" to experience a mini language and cultural immersion.
Capstone Evaluation and Graduation:
A comprehensive evaluation and portfolio will measure your skills at the end of the program. This evaluation is attached to INTR 282 Interpreting Practicum II. You will be required to pass this comprehensive exam with a total score of 77.5% or higher and pass Practicum II with a grade of "C" or higher in order to graduate from the program.

Just wondering if there are any Earth Day clean-up events being planned in anyone's area?
I am so disheartened to see the trash and debris that's scattered and blowing along the highways and streets around here. I drove behind a local strip-mall the other day where there are several dumpsters used by the businesses there. There must have been the equivalent of at least a dumpster full of debris/trash just blowing along the ground and into the wooded area behind. Why aren't these businesses held responsible for cleaning up that trash??? It's no different than me casually dropping trash out my car window when I drive -- and I certainly wouldn't be allowed to do that! (by law, anyway). sigh. I was here for the first Earth Day and was lucky enough to have a teacher who organized his classes for a cleanup in the wooded area around the school that day. I donate to several charities whose charter is to protect and preserve our environment, wildlife, and ecology. One is Nature Conservancy -- particularly the New York chapter -- and I was SHOCKED to receive a correspondence from them recently that invited me to attend a local "Earth Day *Picnic*"! What?!?!?! They should be organizing an Earth Day CLEANUP!!! I've just written an email to the mayor of the nearest city (where I work)... I think I'll be talking to the Nature Conservancy next. Is there anyone else here who as concerned as I am about how this earth is abused? or am I in the only area of upstate NY where its citizens seem to think it's all just one big trash heap? I guess it's bugging me more this year than most because we've been snow-free for so long while the trees and plants are still mostly dormant. The trash is just so visible everywhere! |

My sister nailed it: they changed the rules for recycling here a few months ago! We used to have to put recyclables out in tied plastic bags, and larger items (like cardboard) had to be flattened, bundled, and tied with string. Everything stayed put. The new recycling rules are to put EVERYTHING that's still recyclable into one big bin (and they've cut way back on the list of what is recyclable). Naturally, many people don't COVER their bin -- and hence we have blowing trash EVERYWHERE here now. :( :( :( |

Vögele America, Inc. Super 1800-2 SprayJet paver
Posted By admin On September 29, 2009 @ 11:08 am In Landing Page,Pavement,Product Roundup,Product Roundup Archive | No Comments
The Super 1800-2 SprayJet paver from Vögele America, Inc. can be used to place both open-graded rubberized and Novachip thin-wearing courses. With SprayJet module mounted, conventional hot-mix asphalt pavements can be placed. The system that sprays polymer-modified binder in front of the mix being laid, followed immediately by aggregate, and then a second spray of rubberized binder. An extra emulsion tank — accommodated in the paver's material hopper — that holds 1,320 gallons is now available for contracts requiring very large rates of spread, so a total of 1,849 gallons of asphalt emulsion can be carried on board the paver.

WHERE: Birch Cafe | 5 East 27th Street, in the Library | New York, NY
Before you head into work this Wednesday, drop into the NYC discussion cafe, the Breakfast Club, to enjoy conversation and a cup of coffee!
The topic of discussion this week will be ECONOMICS.
Some food for thought from the Breakfast Club blog:
Have a watch of this short film by Ian MacKenzie, which highlights just a few ideas Charles Eisenstein (who authored the book "Sacred Economics") has to share.
Questions to discuss:
1] While we might deem some of his ideas rather 'dreamy' or 'they-look-good-on-paper' — see if any of the video resonates with you — we encourage you to bring your own questions and/or solutions to the table bright and early this Wednesday morning
2] Where/how do artists and culture fit into today's economic structure?
3] Can we do better with the economics in 2014; what are ideas for improvement?

So I have an iPhone 4 and obviously it's time to get a new phone. I don't know if the iPhone 5 is the way forward or if the galaxy note 2 is the bad lad I should go for. Can anyone give me some advice please
So I have an iPhone 4 and obviously it's time to get a new phone. I don't know if the iPhone 5 is the way forward or if the galaxy note 2 is the bad lad I should go for. Can anyone give me some advice please
So, goods and bads for both sides. I have the iPhone 5, got it launch day. There are problems with it. Some of the websites I frequent that worked well with my 4s don't work correctly on the 5. My phone has had problems (little things, my alarm wasn't working right, force closing apps, but the Apple Store has since remedied that with a firmware update). Basically, it is just waiting out Apple to release a software update to fix the rest of the little things that would go unnoticed by many. The only other complaint--and this is with developers, not apple-- is that many of the apps aren't configured to work with the 5's screen size. There are black bars across the top and bottom. Good things about it--Gorgeous screen, absolutely love it. The retina display is wonderful, and the extended screen, imo, fits perfectly in the hand. The apps that are reconfigured for the 5 are wonderful, and it is snappy, virtually lag free, and runs much faster than I honestly thought it would. Also-you have apple quality, so that's good. Battery life is good. I am able to get through an entire day with moderate internet usage, heavy texting, and light calling. Even some gaming.
For the note, I don't know too much about how it'll run seeing as it isn't out yet, but I would say that the battery is probably going to suck. I've had more androids than I can count, and that just seems to be a common flaw-a powerful system needs a stronger battery. The phone is a lot bigger than most people's hand, so it is more of a hassle to hold. Android apps aren't as well made as iPhones, if only because of the strong fragmentation between systems, and the lack of the Apple overlords condemning all apps to hell and back before they are released. Good things-Huge screen (if that's your thing). Crazy new S Pen integration, and the Samsung app suite, more free apps (though there'll probably be ads), and flash. For some, that's a make or break decision.
I know this seems slightly biased, but, like I said, haven't used the Note 2, so I can't make any firm statements about it until it is released. Basically, it is just a matter of aesthetics, and what you'll be using it for. Good luck!

I bought 2 clematis recently, and just put them in a window sill as we have still been having freezing temps at night. It looks like one is shooting up new growth. Should I leave it in the window or put it outside in a pot? Didn't know if it needs a period of dormancy to do well in the spring? Any help appreciated. |

I always have issues with keeping outdoor plants indoors, except for the very shortest amount of time. Clematis can tolerate freezing temperatures easily but any green growth you see now can certainly be damaged by freezing weather. Not to worry - it will come back at the appropriate time. In my zone 8 climate, we can plant whenever soil conditions allow - that means as long as the soil is unfrozen (soil never freezes significantly in zone 8) and not overly saturated with winter rains. Leaving the clematis in their nursery containers outdoors could expose the roots to unnecessary and potentially harmful cold but planting them in the ground will alleviate that possibility. At the very least, you can sink the plant container and all below the soil surface until you can comfortably plant. |

Thank you, gardengal. I have already put it out as suggested. Hoping for a great Spring! |

It is better If your Idea is to camp and hike and visit the smokies and the Cherokee, then one can appreciate a stop in Gatlinburg. It is just the town that happens to be next to the smokies and the Cherokee, national treasure. We have the same thing here in Lake George. You need to buy a teeshirt get a big mac then drive through to the real attraction and appreciate nature. Samuel |

I hope y'all had fun tho :) I haven't been to Gatlinburg in ages or Cherokee since the big casinos came in. I would like to take a bath in a ganormous champagne glass someday, tho. Don't know why exactly but I don't know why not. The Smokies are gorgeous for their scenery and weather, IMHO. I do really like Lake Lure and Knoxville, and Chatanooga last time I went. Incredible German restaurant by a chef from Aachen in Hendersonville if you're ever there, BTW. I dream of those potatoes! |
A couple of hints: Townsend TN is what Gatlinburg wishes it was. The Cherohala Road to the south of the Park is awesome; the Dragon, just north of the Nantahala is a motorcyclists mecca and is the last thing several of them see on this earth every year. To the west of the Park the Foothills Parkway will probably never be finished. The segment to the southwest that ends near Chilhowee Dam is often underused (like your own private road.) To our south, near Chattannoga is an area in which the copper mining and smelting killed the trees for miles and miles. There's now a museum at Ducktown with the mining history of the area and pictures of 'before' the reforestation effort. (I don't vouch for how the reforest is doing after the drought; there was no humus left in the subsoils.) There's Fort Loudon important in the early part of the Revolutionary war. And a great road to Atlanta that is at the base of the Blue Ridge. Pete, if you come back in spring, please come by and say hello. (And if you've got a TN fishing license, the Holston River is at the base of our hill.) |

Back in the 70s Gatlinburg was a nice arts and crafts kind of town, but that has been pushed out to the outer edges of town. I will say the 4-way stop of a town Pigeon Forge is now the tackiest with many stop lights, followed by Gatlinburg. If we go up that way we stay around Maggie Valley or Asheville. So much nicer than dealing with the aforementioned. Ann's neck of the woods is nice to visit as well. There's also Pisgah forrest which is part of the AT and a nice place to camp and on the way to Ashdown roses. :) |

June 29, 2009
The Unitarian Universalist Association's 2009 General Assembly concluded yesterday with the installation of a new president and the passage of several social justice resolutions.
Rev. Peter Morales, of Golden, CO, has been elected the eighth president of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Morales, 62, won with 59 percent of the vote, defeating Rev. Dr. Laurel Hallman of Dallas, TX. Morales, who succeeds popular outgoing president Rev. William G. Sinkford, will serve a four-year term with the possibility of running for a second term.
Morales campaigned on a promise to make Unitarian Universalism more racially and culturally diverse. Morales believes that national demographic shifts present this liberal, non-dogmatic denomination with both a challenge and an opportunity to become "the religion for our time." To accomplish this goal, he said, "Unitarian Universalism needs to reach the millions of people who share our theology and values."
Morales becomes the first Latino president of the UUA. He was born in 1946 in San Antonio, TX, into a family with Mexican-American and Spanish heritage, and he is bilingual. Before hearing a call to ministry, Morales had successful careers in academia and publishing.
The General Assembly passed several social justice resolutions, including a demand for "Clean, Honest, and Fair Elections in the United States," a commitment to work for "U.S. Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty," and a "Call for a Commission of Inquiry into U.S.-Sponsored Torture." The torture resolution concludes with these words: "Nothing less than the soul of our nation is at stake in confronting U.S.-sponsored torture and completely renouncing its use."
The UUA launched a new public awareness campaign, called "Standing on the Side of Love," to counter acts of exclusion, oppression, and violence based on the perceived identities of victims. The campaign promoted several related public events. Attendees at the General Assembly, along with interfaith partners in the Salt Lake City religious community, organized a rally on behalf of immigrant families. The Unitarian Universalists also hosted an intergenerational "Prom for All," to show support for Salt Lake City's bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender community.

Technology has come a long way in these past few years and has made our lives much easier. The only problem is that sometimes our sleek new gadgets have sick sense of humor, whether they realize it or not. Chris Daughtry had a rather funny mishap with the iPhone 4S app, Siri. She's not all- knowing after all. Sean Kingston was the center of some Internet rumors gone awry and was setting the record straight, while Weird Al was using his infamous unit of time measurement. Casey Abrams sent some birthday wishes to James Durbin and Rihanna was ready to get her summer glow back. Dev is dreaming up an R&B album and Grace Potter had a rather curious sight when she opened up her freezer. Read what your favorite stars were chirping about today!
I yelled into my phone to text Deanna "AWFUL TRAFFIC!!!" and it typed "Call Andre Agassi" Haha! Way to go Siri!
Woke Up To Some False Information… lol MTO Get Ya Facts Right.. I AInt been in miami since i moved 3months ago lol that site is all BS man

WSMC hopes to bring more attention to the wonderful work that these organizations are doing, as well as to bolster support for them from the community by featuring upcoming concerts and performances.
The first program featured the Chattanooga Boys Choir, an organization dating back to the 1950s that has performed all over the world.
Future programs will feature the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera's Youth Orchestra, the Center for Creative Arts, the Collegedale Academy Choirs, and the McCallie Guitar Quartet, among others.
"After seeing this community's support when WSMC brought From the Top to Chattanooga to celebrate our 50th birthday, we are excited to be able to provide a program that continues this passion by and for young performers," said Scott Kornblum, general manager for the radio station.
Listeners can tune in every Friday at 10 a.m. and again on Sunday at 10 a.m.

State Democrats Delay Move to Censure Senator Joe Lieberman
Article Audio
The Democratic State Central Committee have delayed a move to censure Senator Joe Lieberman for his support of Republican Presidential candidate, John McCain.
The censure resolution condemns Joe Lieberman and asks him to resign from the Democratic Party.
The state's Democratic committee put off voting on the censure until after Election Day allowing more time for party members to weigh in.
Long time Connecticut Democrat, Audrey Blondin, helped write the resolution after watching Lieberman speak at the Republican National Convention.
"This is a free country. Joe can support whomever he likes, take whatever position he likes. But he's making a mockery of the state Democratic party and it came time to say, enough is enough."
Lieberman calls himself an independent Democrat and remains registered with the party despite being re-elected to the U.S. Senate after losing the Democratic primary in 2006.
Lieberman told Norwich radio station WICH-AM that he was surprised to hear about the resolution saying he thought that kind of thing happened only in the former Soviet Union.

A rezoning occurs when a property owner wants to use their property in a way that is not permitted by the current zoning. The owner must then request to rezone the subject property to a classification that permits the desired use. For your reference, changes to the Zoning Ordinance that include rezonings, are governed by Section 22 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. That section also addresses, in great detail, the requirements and handling of "protest petitions", which rezoning requests occasionally generate from opposing residents.
NOTE: Deadline for submitting applications is four weeks prior to the scheduled date of the next Planning Board meeting.
Conditional Use Permits
A conditional use permit allows the City of Wilson to consider any special uses which may be essential or desirable to a particular community, but which are not currently allowed as a matter of right within a zoning district. A Conditional Use Permit application submitted by a project applicant is considered at the Planning Board meeting and, if approved, is generally subject to a anumber of pertinent conditions of approval.
Text Amendments
Ordinance text amendments may be initiated by the Director of Planning & Development Services, the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment, City Council, or any property owner or resident in Wilson. Citizen amendments as well as zoning text amendments are also covered in Section 22 of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The planning program has to regularly make changes to the City's GIS maps. There are three main areas that the planning program concentrates on; they are: Zoning, Zoning Annotation, and City Boundary.
- You will be taken to the City of Wilson "Municode.com" site in a new window.
- Appearing now will be a two-part window. On the left is an index column. On the right is a text display of the City Code.
- In the left window, you can slide the bar up and down, when you see the chapter or appendix you are looking for simply click on it and look for it in the text display window.
- You can proceed through any part of the ordinance once on the City of Wilson "Municode" site.

I am about to reseed my 36 cell tray with seeds I purchased from Walmart. This will be the 2nd go at it. I'm hoping that the seeds which I purchased were just bad. I do have a different seed pack which I would like to try. Here is what I did the first time...Please let me know if anything should be different on my 2nd try!
I used MG seed starting potting mix (which has been working great with everything else). I wet it and mixed it up so that it was evenly moist. I put it into 36 1.5" cells and gently firmed it. I pressed down one seed into each cell and covered about 1/8" with a finely milled sphagnum peat moss and misted with warm water. I covered with plastic dome and set it under my grow lights (shop lights, 1 warm and 1 cool). And there it's been sitting forever. No signs of germination. These seeds were pelleted and were the very cheapest ones they have at walmart. I know you usually get what you pay for but in my experience those usually grow just as well. Does anyone see a flaw with my system? Should I do anything different when I try the other pack of non-pelleted seed today?? I was going to empty the cells of the soil, mix it up and put it back in just to be sure it's not too wet or packed too tight or whatever. Thanks for your help! This is my first try with impatiens as I have a lot of partial shade areas and I'm trying to save just a bit of $$ by doing it myself. This year is my first venture into flowers and I'm jumping in head first :) Sherri |

Sherri, The pellets may not have had time to dissolve yet. It has been years since I have planted pelleted seed and I don't remember if there is a difference in germination time but it seems like it would take longer. Sounds like from your description that you did everything OK. I did a forum search (gardenweb search box above) for "pelleted seed" and saw where this subject has been covered before. Try the search and you may find info to help you. My guess is you need to give them more time before giving up on them. Mechele |

I did poke into some of the cells to see what was going on and most of the pellets were still in place. What's the deal with that? I guess I should have allowed an extra couple of weeks for them to dissolve. I will keep waiting :) And now I know. I did receive some other pelleted seeds from Johnny's (carrots, I think) so I guess I will plan the same strategy with them, which is just to wait a little longer. Thanks! |
Is there anyway you can check the soil temp? I just checked my records, sowed 2/10 &17/07 Soil temp 75 degrees germination in 10 days. I used jiffy peat pellets not potting soil. i just place the seed on top of the pellet and mist the tops to let the seeds settle in. Lights on 20 hours a day After germination they were kept at 70-75 degrees till 4 true leaves, then I transplanted to 72 cell trays. Moved to a sunny West window in a window greenhouse. March 11th started taking pinched cuttings for propagating more. Propagated cuttings rooting in 10 days to be able to transplant. I have doubled my seed sowed 24 plants and will probably have tripled or more by the May 15 or after frost date. This was my second sowing after 2/7/07, those seeds failed. The second sowed seeds were not purchased from the same store, although both Burpee. Dumb me I didn't save the packet from the second sowed from Lowes to check if the lot was different from the 1st sowed. The hardware store that I bought the first failed seed gave me another packet to try, which I have not done yet the pinched ones are making oddles more now. Hope this helps |

I normally never cover impatien seeds ~ I just sow on top and mist them to set into the soil ( I use Jiffy mix). I normally get very good germination and normally see seeds germinating in less than one week when placed at 70-75 degrees. I think they may need light to germinate. |

Card Throwing – How to throw cards
Card Throwing is a skill that greatly towers above the rest as it seams surreal. Have you ever tried to throw a card? If you have, i bet 9/10 it flicked up and floated about 2 meters (6 feet) away from you. When Card Throwing is practiced enough, a card can easily be thrown 10+ meters with ease. Card Throwing is not also impressive because of the distance but also because of the power behind a card. Cards that are thrown correctly can easily slice into an apple and even draw blood! I bet you're wondering just how is this possible ? Cards don't fly through the air, the fall. This is not true, it's all in the technique. Learn how to throw cards below.
How it's done:
Begin by taking a single, flat card out of a deck. next, position the card so the two short sides are facing you and the other is facing towards your target. Next, use your index finger and your middle finger to grab the top left corner of the card from your perspective. Make sure your middle finger is on the bottom and your index finger is on the top. Be sure to hold the card between the sides of your fingers that touch. Your fingers should also be about 2cm out from each corner. Now that you have your finger placement correct, we can show you the technique to throw the card. While holding the card correctly, lightly cup your hand so your hand is touching the card but not crushing it. When you are ready slightly bring your forearm back and create a flicking motion primarily in your wrist but slightly in your forearm and let go when the card is facing your target. If done correctly you just threw a card. Thanks for reading mt take on How to throw cards, come back again!

When Card Throwing, keep the card horizontal to get the best throw.
Standard Bicycle cards are the best for playing card throwing.

It's Time To "Click It Or Ticket"
The Governor's Council has announced this years Indiana "Click It Or Ticket" campaign.
The Governor's Council has announced this years Indiana "Click It Or Ticket" campaign.
This just in from Rush Limbaugh's EIB Network:
Tonight's guests on the Dennis Miller Show, heard from 10pm to 12midnight on WGBF:
Flood assistance is on the way, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
Tune in "The Dennis Miller Show" tonight on Newstalk 1280 WGBF
You'd think that with MP3 players, the internet, cell phones, satellite radio, Pandora and God-knows-what-else, good ol' radio stations would be having a tough time hanging on to listeners these days
Does Rush Limbaugh plant phony callers on his show, so as to get a certain viewpoint across that might not get aired otherwise? So think some of his biggest critics. Or, at least, they say they do. Talkers Magazine has the details:
One of WGBF's most popular hosts is that man from Nashville, Dave Ramsey, who's been holding down the morning drive slot on NewsTalk 1280 for some years now has been on the road again with his traveling economic salvation show and recently packed 'em in in Oklahoma City. Rob Adair, COO of Renda Corporation, owner of local Ramsey affiliate KOKC, had this to say:
Talkers Magazine is out with their "Heavy Hundred" top talkers list for this year, and guess who's number one again?

Saint Joan Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
JOAN: "I tell thee that the land is thine to […] keep God's peace in […] The very clay of France will become holy […] the rebel dukes will be rebels against God." (2.175)
Joan is basically calling for the dismantling of the entire feudal system. She wants all he power to go to the King and be taken from all the lower nobility.
CAUCHON: "The Catholic Church knows only one realm, and that is the realm of Christ's kingdom. Divide that kingdom into nations, and you dethrone Christ." (4.120)
It's interesting that, while Joan uses her version of Christianity to support her Nationalistic views, Cauchon uses his version to attack them.
WARWICK: "Well, if you will burn the Protestant, I will burn the Nationalist." (4.121)
This quote is the one of the best summations in the play of why Joan is burnt. The Church fears her Protestantism because it challenges their power; the nobles fear her Nationalism for the same reason.

Not to be confused with Disc Shot.
The Disk Shot is a Nerf N-Strike accessory that was released in 2007.
It comes packaged with the Disk Shot Set, along with six foam disks.
The Disk Shot is a Nerf-branded disc launcher. The disc launcher is unique in that it fires discs into the air for the player to fire at, much like actual skeet shooting. Discs are launched by using the packaged remote, which can be attached to a blaster via tactical rail. Pressing the "launch" button on the remote will cause a disc to be tossed into the air. Players can also choose which angle to toss the disc into the air; discs can be fired either straight up or 45 degrees to the left or right.
The discs are inserted into the back of the Disk Shot. There is a piece of plastic holding the discs in place once inserted.
The Disk Shot received a successor in the form of the Disk Shooter, a similar Nerf accessory that was not made by Hasbro.

Occupy the Blog! (2/11/2012)
1:46 pm in Uncategorized by dakine01
We've received a few diaries in the last week but we've also gotten some great pictures and a couple of nice videos from folks.
On the diary front, we have two from Occupy Pittsburgh folks. First up is this one from Steelydan3 describing the scene as the Occupy Pittsburgh folks were awaiting an eviction:
I helped deliver some Firedoglake packages (gloves, jackets and other winter clothes…) to the Occupy Pittsburgh's camp some weeks ago. Thought I should post these pics before they're shut down this morning. It's not over. Decentralize decentralize decentralize. I also took some photos in the daylight last Saturday.
Later from Monday night, we received this diary from RFShunt on the wait for the eviction: Read the rest of this entry →

When Kitty Wo's eldest daughter started at Scripps College in California in 2002, "we thought a liberal arts education would be a wonderful thing," she said. "There was no pressure."
Her two younger daughters graduated from Scripps in 2008 and 2012, and "with each successive child, we've thought more about their career path and what field of study would be best," said Wo, who lives in Honolulu. "Each girl's experience led the next one to being a lot more proactive," with internships and other job-related experiences.
Wo's middle daughter, an economics major, even worried that her younger sister's media studies major wasn't practical. "Her sister was thinking, "Oh my God, you're watching movies?'" Wo recalled with a laugh.
All of Wo's daughters landed jobs, but their shift in attitudes tells a bigger story. While some top-tier spchools can still attract students by promising self-discovery and intellectual pursuits, many colleges have changed their emphasis in the years since the recession hit. Instead of "Follow your passion," the mantra has become more like, "We'll help you get a job."
Schools have revamped career centers, expanded internship programs and pushed alumni to serve as mentors. The changes are not only in response to a tough job market, but because parents are demanding that graduates be prepared for the workplace.
"Parents and students' questions and concerns have changed just as much as society has changed," said John Fraire, vice president for student affairs and enrollment at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash. "Questions about job security, income, graduation rates — it's to be expected."
When Stephanie Albano worked as a student tour guide at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., she was equipped with a fact sheet on job placement rates, average salaries for graduates and other statistics. High school kids on the tours didn't ask about jobs, said Albano, who's now in law school, "but parents always did. It was the first question out there from parents. They want to make sure their kids are not going to end up moving back into their basements."
Between 1966 and 2010, bachelor's degrees in the humanities halved, from 14 percent of all degrees awarded to 7 percent, according to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
Sally Rubenstone, who writes CollegeConfidential.com's "Ask the Dean" column, says "there is certainly concern, particularly at the liberal arts schools where they're worried that they're not going to be perceived as pragmatic in a competitive job market."
But a few colleges have benefited from the shift in values. "Colleges like Northeastern and Drexel are really coming up in the world because they offer co-op programs," where students spend several semesters in full-time jobs related to their studies, usually with pay, Rubenstone noted.
In the last six years, Northeastern University's ranking on U.S. News & World Report's college survey has soared from 98 to 56. And even though Northeastern's tuition now tops $40,000 a year, applications have increased more than 40 percent since 2009, while SAT scores of incoming students have steadily risen.
Spokeswoman Renata Nyul says Northeastern's co-op program is a "huge reason" for its popularity. "Our mission is to provide a real-world experience and an education that's rooted in the integration of rigorous classroom learning and real-world professional experience," she said. "That's been the ethos of this place for a long time, but lately it seems to really resonate."
Co-ops can also pave the way for permanent employment, Nyul says: "Ninety percent of our graduates are employed full-time and 87 percent are doing something related to what they majored in."
While Northeastern's co-op model is a century old, many other schools proudly point to career prep programs they've created since the recession began at the end of 2007.
Many colleges also now offer funding for unpaid internships so that students of limited means can afford to take them. And career-building is now a topic in freshmen seminars.
"Gone are the days when a second-semester senior can come into a career center for career assistance and expect to find a job immediately," said Kathy Williams, director of Gettysburg College's Center for Career Development in Gettsyburg, Pa., which encourages students to take internships or do job shadowing in their freshman and sophomore years.

I have about a 7 ft section of blank wall in my hallway. I'm planning on putting a piece of art that is maybe 5'wide by 2' high on this wall. I'd like to light it up with recessed ceiling cans. From what I've read low voltage mr16s are probably the best for this. The hallway is 65" wide and ceiling height is 7'6". Will a slot aperture trim work for this application? If so, how many cans will I need to evenly light up the 5' wide piece of art? And how far from the wall should the cans be? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
2 should do, and get a 60 degree mr-16 bulb. The trim should be of a gimble ring type. http://elcolighting.com/categories/4-low-voltage-incandescent-recessed-lighting Go though here to see what trim you like best. |
Why a gimbal ring instead of slot aperture? Will a slot aperture cut off the horizontal beam? |

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 Sweet Sadie Mae!
Facts about Sweet Sadie Mae
- Breed: Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sweet Sadie Mae's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Maybe you are like most people. Maybe you'd love to have a dog but are afraid of the drama that can come with it. Maybe you don't have hours to spend meeting a high energy dog's exercise needs. Maybe you enjoy walking, but don't enjoy a dog who pulls like a sled dog on the end of the leash. Or maybe you have kids and don't want them bowled over by an exuberant puppy. Meet Sadie. She is the sweetest, most gentle dog you could ever hope to meet. She is grateful for every comfort offered to her and is content just to know she's safe and has a place to belong. Sweet Sadie rarely barks, and gets along great with other dogs. We are convinced that Sadie is an angel in disguise. If you'd like to meet her, please fill out an online app at bhs.va.org and her foster mom will contact you to meet her.
Other Pets at Bedford Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sweet Sadie Mae, a Bedford Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Bedford, or seeking a Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Bedford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bedford 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 Bedford 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 Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bedford paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Conference date: 9–12 June 2010
- Location: Tokyo, (Japan)
Ultrasound (US) has been shown to induce cancer cell death via different forms including apoptosis. Here, we report the potential of low‐intensity pulsed US (LIPUS) to induce genomic DNA damage and subsequent DNA damage response. Using the ionizing radiation‐induced DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) as the positive control, we were able to observe the induction of DSBs (as neutral comet tails) and the subsequent formation of gammaH2AX‐positive foci (by immunofluorescence detection) in human leukemia cells following exposure to LIPUS. The LIPUS‐induced DNA damage arose most likely from the mechanical, but not sonochemical, effect of cavitation, based on our observation that the suppression of inertial cavitation abrogated the gammH2AX foci formation, whereas scavenging of free radical formation (e.g., hydroxyl radical) had no protective effect on it. Treatment with the specific kinase inhibitor of ATM or DNA‐PKcs, which can phosphorylate H2AX Ser139, revealed that US‐induced gammaH2AX was inhibited more effectively by the DNA‐PK inhibitor than ATM kinase inhibitor. Notably, these inhibitor effects were opposite to those with radiation‐induced gammH2AX. In conclusion, we report, for the first time that US can induce DNA damage and the DNA damage response as indicated by gammaH2AX was triggered by the cavitational mechanical effects. Thus, it is expected that the data shown here may provide a better understanding of the cellular responses to US.

Hi. I'm Cheryl Slocum and I'm the Food Editor at Country Living Magazine, and today we're making gingerbread houses. You're gonna love this project. We're making our stone cottage and we're doing our snowy cottage today. They're really simple to do even though they look a little bit intricate. It really comes together quite easily with just 6 pieces of cut-out dough that you bake. And you decorate it with treats that you just find in your grocery store. Let's get started. With me today is Simone Thor. Hi, Simone.
Hi, Cheryl.
Good to see you today. Simone is our assistant food editor and she is one of the great people who helps develop the recipes and creates some of the stories that we have in the magazine, and she was an important part of this whole story that we did in the December issue on gingerbread houses. So should be get started?
Yes. Let's start with the dough.
So I'm gonna start here with, actually I'm gonna start here with the big bowl.
That's all you need and a whisk.
Pretty good.
To start off with and I'm gonna start with 6 and 3/4 cup of flours and I'm gonna just take a measuring cup dipped and sweeped into the canister so I get exactly that amount. We're gonna get, we're gonna add 3 tablespoons of ground ginger.
This is just ginger?
No. It's also 1-1/2 cheese.
Oh, that looks good. Just sprinkle it in?
Of ground cloves.
Cloves? Okay.
And also 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
So we're just gonna stir that--
No baking powder?
No baking soda? Oh wow. This is so easy.
So here we also need some butter. We're gonna have 1-1/2 cups of butter, 1-1/2 cups of dark brown sugar, and 1-1/2 cups of dark brown corn syrup.
So this was all melted together. Is that what this is?
It was cooked in a pot.
I see. Okay.
So you also need a pot and a stove.
You do.
And a whisk, a whisk go together or did you just stir that with a--
Just stirred it.
Oh wow.
Until it's ready.
You know I gotta say I really like a project that doesn't have a lot of cleanup, and so far I'm only counting a few dishes. So just pour this in?
Just pour that in and I'll start to stir.
Oh my gosh. This looks so good.
It smells nice too.
Do we need to scoop up that last little piece?
Great. Yum. And so you don't need a mixer? You can stir this just with a spoon?
Do you need a lot of muscle?
No you don't. It's very simple.
Okay. Is this good or--
We're ready.
Okay. Great.
Let's go into the fridge.
Okay. Fantastic.
What I have here is the dough that was been chilled for 2 hours and I'm gonna use 2 pieces of parchment paper, and it's actually pretty pliable. It's an easy dough to work with so it's not gonna be that hard to roll it out. So I'm gonna use a rolling pin and basically I'm gonna try to just evenly apply the pressure rolling it in even strokes up and down, and I'm aiming for a 1/4-inch thickness on this, and it'll come out to about a 9 x 12 sheet when I'm done with it.
And so what's the benefit of having it do about 9 x 12?
Well, we have templates that we're gonna use to cut out for the pieces, and so you can maximize the pieces of dough that you use.
I got you. So you don't have to keep rolling out so many pieces.
Yes, yes, that makes good sense. If you wanna keep working on that, I'll move into how to cut out the dough.
As we mentioned we're gonna cut this dough using templates and what's really great about this gingerbread project as I've mentioned before is that it is so simple to make and one of the things that make it so simple is that there's only really 6 pieces for the basic structure of the house. All you're gonna really need is just the manila folder, lightweight cardboard basically, and trace your outlines and cut out your templates using a scissors and maybe a utility knife so you can really get the corners for the windows and the door and you'll be all set. So now what I'm going to do is show you how to cut out the dough, and this piece is already rolled so I've already took care of rolling this and you see it's about a quarter of an inch thick. We want it nice and thick so that the pieces will be strong and really be able to hold up over time because this isn't a project you're gonna make just one day. You're gonna want this to kind of sit out and be on display for a few weeks during the holiday season. So what you wanna do is try and see if there's an opportunity to get as many pieces as you can cut out, and I don't know that I can get more than 1 piece from this, so I will just do that, but if it was larger you could fit a couple more and you wanna be as economical as possible, so work close to the edges and leave as much as you can available for another piece, should it fit. And all you'll need is a small sharp knife so that you can really get in everywhere just right, and just cut in a long even stroke evenly. If you feel a little shaky, you can use a ruler to help guide you so that you don't make a wobbly edge, but you should be okay if you just let the template be your guide, and then last one. Okay and I'm gonna take away, do I have everything? I'm gonna take away the excess dough. We put that aside and maybe just trim the edges a little bit where it looks like I might have had a little extra piece, and I'm gonna cut out the windows using the tip of the knife pointing down to do that and cut in as even stroke as you possibly can to get all the way down to the edge. To transfer this cutout piece to a sheet pan you wanna use a really wide spatula, something that can really make sure that it's not gonna change its shape too much as you maneuver it, so you wanna slide underneath and just kind of coax it on to the spatula and try not to change the shape too much, and then you're ready to put it on that spatula. Oh thanks, Simone, on parchment.
On a sheet tray or sheet pan and you wanna lay this down and if the dough has gotten a little bit warm, it's a good idea to chill it for about 10 or 15 minutes before you bake it. I'm gonna show you one other thing that we did with the dough that's really a lot of fun. The chimney on our snow cottage is red and it's really adorable. We dyed it with red food coloring so that's all we did to the gingerbread, and to make the chimney all you need to do is cut a rectangle. I don't really worry too much about measuring too carefully. I just make sure that I have the approximate look, but if you want to use the ruler, you can decide to make it about an inch and a half in length and then you're gonna cut about an inch and a half, not a perfect but more like an inch segment, so I'm going to cut these into equal segments. And so if I wanna make sure it looks exactly the same, I just place it right next to it and that is my guide for the next one. In order to make the brick look on the chimney, you're going to wanna score them with the back of your knife and then just make a brick effect by placing your knife. You use your spatula to lift and place on the sheet pan. You're going to take this dough and bake it at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Right, Simone?
Yes, 35 minutes.
And you're gonna cool it on a wire rack and then you'll be ready to assemble.
