Needed a part for my truck today
As I walked down the rows of cars and trucks
The kiss at the drive in the song in their head

Oh my, that is really good! should be put to music and have Willie Nelson sing it! |
Beautiful, Don. You are on a roll or in love!!!!! I mean this stuff is coming straight from your HEART! ---Keep up the good work. I can't even remember how many junkyards I've walked through over the years. When I worked for the salvage auction a few years back, I would stand in front The very worst one was where a guy had stolen an SUV |

Lilo has it right. Love it. |
Don, I often wonder the same thing when I pass an old shed or barn: once they were brand new and useful to someone. Now, they just look abandoned and sad. There's a huge auto parts business in the area where I live. It must be 500 acres, at least; it's surrounded by fencing, but the land is rolling and most of the cars can be seen from the road. I often wondered what would ever be done with them; then, not long ago, I was checking for my daughter for a back seat for her SUV--her dog has almost destroyed it--and lo and behold, they had a vehicle of the year needed with the back seat intact! Guess there is a demand and need, but there sure are a lot of vehicles, there. BTW, I enjoyed your poem. |

You are speaking my language, Don. I love trucks, old Ford pickups to eighteen wheelers. |
DH says there is no way the salvage yard I mentioned could be 500 acres! 50, maybe-- or even 15? Anyway, there are way too many vehicles there, IMO! (But I read on line that their yearly business is in the 2 million dollar range; guess somebody needs those old parts. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Fri, Apr 8, 11 at 20:35
There is an auto salvage yard right smack here in Silicon Valley, it has tons of auto parts. DH and DS practically built a "new" car from those parts. We have very dated cars and we go there whenever we need a part. It's recycling at it's best. |
- Posted by ejmoore510 7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 11:34
Such a wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing. |
Thanks for reading, always wonder how they got there and why they were given up. I drive mine till there is not much left and try to keep them going way beyond normal. Want to get my moneys worth. Putting the Chevy hydra boost unit in my international today. The vacuum boost gave up and this is an upgrade I have wanted to do for some time. Next will be drum to disc brakes as the drums keep getting harder to find. That upgrade will be a bit more expensive but save in the long run. Been too rainy and or cold for a while and cannot do things like I used to. |
Thank you. I have a sentimental attachment to vehicles, and can relate to what you're saying. |

April is Poetry month, and I think Don's Truck Poetry is worth another read. |

Thanks West, it pleases me to see a connection with the thinking of friends. |

Don, I think I've said before that I luv trucks and your poem speaks to me. Now, the reality of me owning a truck is nill. I don't know anything about cars or trucks. But if I had a vision, it would be to buy an old truck, go with you and Kathy Jane to all the salvage yards, find parts and build a beauty. |
Sounds like fun to me, West! My former boss from the old car lot said I could borrow Old Blue whenever I wanted to---but it has farm tags on it, and they're only good for 5 miles within the radius of his house---he said I could chance it, but I don't want to. I loved that old GMC more than any truck I ever drove---just under 300K on it! I know I've told you guys this before----selling a truck to a guy was the easiest job in the world---he already knew what he wanted, he knew my boss was honest and all he had to do was sign the papers, let me slap tags on it, and off he could go. Didn't mean to go on like this---couldn't help it! |

LPGA Names "The Evian" As Major Championship in 2013
The LPGA announced in July that Evian and the LPGA had signed a long-term commitment to add a fifth major to the LPGA Tour schedule, beginning in September 2013. The tournament, to be renamed "The Evian," will be played on a completely redesigned Evian Golf Club.
The Evian is set to be played during the second week of September 2013, and will be the final major of the season following the Kraft Nabisco Championship, Wegmans LPGA Championship, U.S. Women's Open (conducted by the USGA) and the RICOH Women's British Open.
Evian has agreed to a long-term commitment to host the event, which includes a complete redesign of Evian Golf Club by a team of architects led by U.S.-based designer Steve Smyers, who has more than 50 projects spanning the globe, and European Golf Design (EGD), which has built some of the best new courses in Europe. The redesign will be complete by spring 2013.
The current Evian Masters became a part of the LPGA Tour's schedule in 2000, with a purse of $1.8 million. Its purse of $3.25 million was the highest on the 2011 LPGA Tour, matched only by the U.S. Women's Open. The Evian Masters became a co-sanctioned event on the LPGA Tour in 2000, following six years as a major championship on the Ladies European Tour (LET).
The tournament's list of past champions includes LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame members Annika Sorenstam, Juli Inkster and Karrie Webb; Laura Davies, Jiyai Shin and Ai Miyazato. The event has also traditionally awarded invitations to players from emerging golf markets, such as China, India, Russia and Slovakia.

The San Francisco Association of Realtors recently launched a new directory of open homes that buyers can use. This is a welcome addition to the home buying process, because not everyone gets The Chronicle—nor do they want to slog through its online listings. With SF Open Home.com, users can enter the day and criteria, and a list of open homes will result. Each listing is displayed with photo links and much more detail than any Chronicle newspaper ad can provide.
Of course, the database is only as good as the data it holds. So encourage any Realtors you know to make sure they enter open house information for all their listings!

Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, you are absolutely correct, it's not a Physallis at all, although it is a relative. What you have there is not a Cape Gooseberry, it's Nicandra physalloides, common name "Shoo-fly plant" This Physallis relative is native to S. America, grows up to six feet tall, and bears the dry, physallis-like pods you see on your plants. It' often grown as an ornamental, and the branches of pods, once dried, do make a nice accent in floral work. The plant itself is toxic, and can be used to make insecticide teas or powders similar to rotenone, or so it's claimed. However, when I've grown it, I've found it susceptible to whitefly, so I question how insecticidal it may be -- perhaps it depends on the pest species. |
Thanks for zeroing in on the plant. What a great knowledge base we have here on GardenWeb! There's always an answer (or three) just around the corner. Too bad the fruit isn't edible since the plant is so vigorous and productive. Now, does anyone out there have real Cape Gooseberry (or Giant Cape Gooseberry) seeds to trade? I've got a huge assortment of squash, melon, tomato, and other random vegetable seeds to swap...as well as some Nicandra physalloides. ;) Steven |

One of our all-time favorite root beers is Virgils, and while we were in New Orleans a couple weeks back, we spotted something in a deli that made our hearts flutter. A WHOLE KEG OF THE STUFF! Okay, it's not a real keg, more like a mini, but who cares? It's a fun novelty filled with some of the most satisfying root beer goodness around. The 5-liter keg is available in Root Beer or Cream Soda and sells for $15.99-$19.99. You can order kegs from the website, and Cost Plus and some Whole Foods and Costcos have them.

Looking for decent quality / mid-priced sofa and chairs, and saw this Stickey-owned brand which is fairly
new into upholstery items. Any experience or comments on this brand? Looks like they use "Marshall coil units" - is this good/bad/OK? |

The Stickly line has lots of sofas that are very well made, 8 way hand tied and the such. Per their local rep, the N&Stone line is above sinous spring construction but below 8 way hand tied.. so upper mid end quality. 95 % of upholstry is sinous spring or mid to lower end, though some very good lines use sinous construction. |

I am thankful for…….
Crochet, knitting, quilting and all things needlework. Of course, I am thankful for my family and friends, but I would like to say a special thank you for the needle arts too. Not only does needlework bring incredible joy and beauty into my life, it serves as my artistic outlet and helps me find peace in the midst of chaos. Thank you Heavenly Father for all stitches, big and small. Thank you, too, for all of the wonderful friends that I have made through our mutual love of needlework.
Happy Stitching! Happy Thanksgiving!
Designing Off the Cuff
I have been working on a fun, little Tunisian crochet project – designing a hat inspired by the Premium Cable scarf pattern by Sharon Silverman. I have taken sort of a freestyle approach and have let my hook talk to me as I stitch. Normally, I plan out my designs, working out all of the math first on graph paper. Of course, the freestyle approach is risky. Quite frankly, it could be disastrous in the end, but it is so liberating to just let the creative process take shape as you go along. Luckily for me, I am happy with how it is turning out so far and I love the yarn, Mirabella by Tess' Designer Yarns (an angora/merino blend). Best of all, this is for just me and there are no worries nor any pressure with this one.
Happy Stitching!
Butterflies and Dragonflies Quilt – Mission Christmas 2012
I am switching gears today to my Christmas gifts – besides, I needed a cheerful project to keep me going. Christmas will be small this year, but my goal is to make each one of my children and my husband something handmade. This Butterflies and Dragonflies Quilt is for my youngest, and I have enough fabric to make a smaller version for her American Girl doll, Allie.
So, here is my stitching "to-do" list:
1. Matching Butterflies and Dragonflies quilts for my youngest and her favorite doll
2. Two pairs of crocheted socks – one for my Secret Santa and the other for my oldest
3. The Patriot's Quilt for my husband
4. ???? something for my son – Any ideas? I am open to suggestions.
As usual, I have bitten off quite a bit, but this will keep my hands busy for sure.
Happy Stitching!
On the Road to Emmaus in America
As a Catholic American who fully believes what the Church teaches, yesterday's election left me wondering if there is actually a place for me and my faith in the New America. Without a doubt, it is time to embrace the fact that the Catholic Church in America has been pushed over a threshold which will make it more difficult to live out our mission and to spread the Gospel. It is clear that America has decided to turn away from God by voting no to life, no to the family, and no to religious liberty. We, the faithful, must come to terms with what this means for us and recognize that "practice as usual" will not work anymore.
This past Sunday during Mass, I felt God whisper to my heart. I had been so restless with anxiety and had not really slept for days (maybe weeks). After the Eucharist, I began to reflect upon the period of time after the crucifixion but before the resurrection. For those 3 days (which could have easily felt like 8 years!), the faithful must have felt so alone, sad and rejected – just as the 2 disciples felt on the road to Emmaus. Yet, hope in Christ's resurrection lay ahead. The disciples could not take comfort in the whims of the populace, for they had shouted "Crucify Him!", nor in the actions of their governing officials, who were complicit and had turned the other way. All that remained was hope and comfort in Christ and His message of truth.
As Sunday turned into Monday and I still was not sleeping, I began to reflect upon Esther, who was called to be in the right place, at the right time so that she would "be ready for such a time as this." There is a reason why we are living through this dark day and why our children, the next generation of leaders in the Church, are being called to stand-up and guide the faithful through the "Red Sea" before us. Some battles are not always won, but God's goodness always prevails.
Before closing, I would like to leave you with some words of hope. I remember after the 2008 election, I was struck by how many people were putting their hope in a man. In quiet defiance, I started carrying around a bag that read, "My HOPE is in the Lord." And, never has that been more true than today.
Well, I am positive that I will lose some of my needle arts-centric readers and my left-leaning Twitter followers with this message. However, we do not live in a vacuum filled with yummy yarn and fabulous fabrics alone. Sometimes we have to take a stand for what is right. I also recognize that God must form every one of my decisions and that truly, all of my pearls of needlework wisdom and inspiration are gifts from Him. Besides, as I told my 7-year-old daughter this morning who was concerned about losing friends at school because of our family's values – it is never wrong to stand with truth and goodness, no matter the consequences.
Happy Stitching! Viva Cristo Rey!
Patriot's Quilt Block for Election Day

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 sunshine!
Facts about sunshine
- Breed: Shar Pei Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
sunshine's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
"Sunshine" a Shar Pei mix was picked up off the streets of Riviera Beach.. She had recently had puppies, but no one knows where they all ended up.. She has spent most of her life roaming about a mile long stretch where people along the way feed her. She was sleeping outside of a car repair shop.
Her gorgeous teeth indicate she is about 1.5 yo. She weighs between 35-40 lbs.
Sunshine has been interacting with dogs of all sizes and has shown no aggression toward anyone.
She is extremely sweet, but very shy at first.
Please call Jo if you can help or want more information 954-249-7713,
Other Pets at My Animals Rock, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
sunshine, a hollywood Shar Pei dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei for sale in hollywood, or seeking a Shar Pei dog from a breeder in hollywood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in hollywood 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 hollywood 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 Shar Pei breeders who help with Shar Pei rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in hollywood paves the way for another one to be saved.

NORMAN — Oklahoma junior Steven Pledger is as hot as any guard in the country. He credits adding sweet spots to his game last summer while working out with his father at home in Virginia,
Oklahoma basketball's Steven Pledger among best shooting guards in the country
Heading into tonight's game against South Carolina State, Pledger is averaging 19.5 points, which ranks among the top 30 scorers in the nation.
The big news is Pledger is among the national leaders in field goal percentage even though the majority of his shots are from 15 feet or farther.
Pledger is shooting 51.4 percent on 3-pointers, which ranks fourth nationally.
He's shooting 60.4 percent overall, the top field goal percentage of any guard in the country, 22nd overall in a category dominated by centers and power forwards.
"Steven is a really good shooter. And his shot selection has been really good," said OU coach Lon Kruger. "He's working hard to get open and his teammates are getting him the ball at the right time. He's off to a great start. We need that to continue."
The Chesapeake, Va., product has added new elements to his game. He's attacking more off the dribble. The biggest factor is his production on the offensive glass, a physical guard who can score on put-backs.
"We kept hearing 'streaky shooter.' That was probably the perception (coming in)," Kruger said. "But Steve can do so much more than just be a shooter. He can be a good defender. He can be a good rebounder. He can be a good leader on the floor.
"That's why our expectations are very high for Steve."
Assisted by teammates' screens and the patience to wait for good shots, Pledger's 31 points on only 13 shots in a win against Houston was a career high in regulation. His career high is 38 in an overtime win last season at Iowa State but 10 points came in the extra period.

Salmon with Salsify and Celery Root Puree
This tasty salmon recipe is courtesy of chef Daniel Boulud, owner of Bar Boulud.
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, March Spring 2008
- 10 black peppercorns, crushed
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh savory
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 1 1/4 cups Syrah wine
- 1/4 cup port
- 2 shallots, finely minced
- 2 cups Beef Stock
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound salsify, trimmed, peeled, rinsed, dried, and cut into 2-inch long pieces
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 18 sage leaves
- 6 (5-to-6-ounce) boneless, skinless, salmon fillets
- 12 slices bacon
- Celery Root Puree
Place peppercorns, thyme, savory, and garlic in a piece of cheesecloth; tie with kitchen twine to enclose. Transfer to a medium saucepan, along with, Syrah, port, and shallots. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until liquid has reduced by three-quarters. Add beef stock and continue cooking until liquid has reduced by two-thirds and lightly coats the back of a spoon. Remove cheesecloth bundle from saucepan and discard; set sauce aside and keep warm.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salsify, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Place 3 sage leaves across the length of each piece of salmon; wrap each with 2 slices bacon to secure. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Season salmon with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook, turning once, until bacon is crisp, fish is golden, and its internal temperature reaches 130 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 4 minutes per side.
Divide celery root puree evenly between 6 serving plates. Top each with a few pieces of salsify and a piece of salmon. Garnish with bacon and crispy sage leaves. Drizzle sauce around plate and serve immediately.

Yes, the Salmom does not go in the oven, but the bacon seems undercooked. It seems it would be a bit "fatty' and feel slimy in the mouth. IMHO, it should be a bit crisper. If using farm raised Salmon, which is fattier than wild salmon, it could taste and feel far too greasy and fatty.
charleswhitby 1 Apr, 2008
Salsify is the vegetable type root that is part of the sunflower family. They peeled, chopped and cooked in the skillet. Martha mentioned it is also known as an oyster plant. There is no oven needed in this recipe, however, you could keep this salsify warm in the oven if your timing for this dish coming together is off.
cookinginca 30 Mar, 2008
He cooked the salmon in the pan. It didn't go into the oven.
aes43 29 Mar, 2008
Please tell me what is salsify? Perhaps I missed something. Also we all need clarification on whether this salmon does go into the oven. Can't wait to make it.
nuwala 28 Mar, 2008
no oven action involved
StaceyRichards 28 Mar, 2008
MMSRJS says it went into the oven. Maybe I missed it, but I never saw anything go into the oven. He started and served it from the stove top. Maybe it was just very quick coming back from a commercial break and I missed it. I'll take your word for it and try putting it into the oven. Thanks!
StaceyRichards 28 Mar, 2008
On the show the salmon was cooked stove top only. I'm not sure why the oven says preheat. Is this an either/or?
sueorso 28 Mar, 2008
I'm thinking that this is a typo! I just watched the show and I never saw the salmon hit a 350. oven!
mmsrjs 28 Mar, 2008
potager 28 Mar, 2008
My guess is that you're supposed to sear the salmon in the skillet, but then transfer the entire skillet to the oven to finish off the cooking and cook the salmon through (hence the need for an "ovenproof" skillet. ) It just doesn't explain that step in the recipe...
caketopper 28 Mar, 2008
Why do I have to preheat the oven if it is not used in the recipe? Is there a step missing?

Sydney Hotels near Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach
Located just seven kilometres from Sydney's central business district, the picturesque Bondi Beach is one of the most famous and popular beaches in Australia. This one-kilometre stretch of sand and surf has been welcoming sunbathers and brave surfers since the early 1900's and continues to be a mainstay for those visiting New South Wales. Now Bondi Beach is home to not only water sports and beach volleyball, but also many important Sydney festivals, including the City to Surf Fun Run that takes place each year in August. ... Read more »
Bondi Beach Top 3
- Visit Sydney in winter and join the Bondi Beach Icebergs for a chilling and exhilarating dip in the cold water.
- Come to Bondi Beach in February when the best skateboarders in Sydney and the world converge for the thrilling Van's Bowl-A-Rama skateboarding competition.
- Buy some of the best produce in Sydney at the Bondi Beach Market, which is open every Sunday and features an array of exotic treats.
Getting There
Public transportation in Sydney can be trying and expensive, but finding parking near Bondi Beach is even worse, so visitors are advised to take one of the buses that leave every ten minutes from the city centre to Bondi Junction. There is also a train that connects Bondi Beach to Town Hall, which takes about fifteen minutes. To save money, a good tip for tourists spending more than three days in the area is to buy a MyMulti-1 weekly pass that is good for any type of public transport.

Some of the best game series on iOS, like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, have a few important features in common. They're all easy to pick up and play, offer surprising depth and value, and star a cute mascot ready-made for a spin-off TV show or movie. Where's My Water? from Disney Mobile checks all the right boxes, which made the first game an instant success in 2011.

The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Temple Run
From Pac-Man to Mario, videogame characters have always had to run for their lives. What's inspiring about Temple Run and other auto-running games is that your goal is not to reach the finish line– it's to last as long as possible before death inevitably catches up to you. Imangi's Temple Run series has been downloaded over 100 million times, and has spawned a couple of movie spin-offs. Even after enduring countless deaths, we're still playing it constantly.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Nimblebit's Pocket Sims
Some of the best experiences we've had playing iOS games, like breeding tropical frogs, building a skyscraper, and managing an airport, have all come from one unique company: Nimblebit. With their delightful pixel art and mastery of the freemium play style, Nimblebit has found incredible success on the App Store. Here are a few of our favorite Nimblebit simulations.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Puzzle Agent
Telltale Games is known for their episodic adventure games, using well-known properties like Sam and Max, Monkey Island, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and Walking Dead. Those are all quality series, but the games that have stuck with us the most are a bizarre combination of Fargo and Professor Layton: the mysterious Puzzle Agent series.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog, one of gaming's most recognizable mascots, used to be synonymous with Sega's console hardware. Now he can be found on multiple platforms, including iOS. Sonic made his iOS debut with straight ports of his early-90s Sega Genesis games, but since then, he's starred in more than a few original games designed specifically for mobile. (more…)
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: With Friends
A few years ago, Newtoy, makers of the "With Friends" series of casual online games, received an unexpected endorsement. After being told to turn off his smartphone on a plane, actor Alec Baldwin– deep in a game of Words With Friends– was booted off an American Airlines flight from the runway. We can sympathize, because once you start playing these incredibly competitive board and word games, it's hard to stop.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: League of Evil
Some games have you chasing a key or coins, diamonds or a doorway. League of Evil is the only game we know of where the goal is to reach a scientist at the end of each level, and then punch him to pieces. Like slamming the buzzer at the end of an American Ninja Warrior obstacle course, it's that last satisfying punch that has helped define Ravenous Games' League of Evil series.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Infinity Blade
If you've watched an Apple press event in the last three years, Infinity Blade needs no introduction. Apple has been publicly pushing this series far more than any other games, because Infinity Blade is both an iOS exclusive and a magnificent showcase for their technology. Between its epic storyline, incredible visuals, and oft-imitated gameplay, Infinity Blade is a series that was made to last.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Ravensword and Aralon
In 2009, console-quality gaming on a mobile device still seemed like a fantasy. It wasn't until we had our first look at games like Need for Speed, Modern Combat: Sandstorm, and Ravensword before we realized that mobile gaming was going to start catching up to consoles. Ravensword was especially promising– as a fully 3D, open-world RPG, it invited immediate comparisons to the Elder Scrolls series. Today, we'll take a look at this landmark iOS game, plus several others from developer Crescent Moon Games.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: World of Goo
Today featured game is World of Goo, which may not be part of a major series yet, but it should be. World of Goo is an original combination of puzzles and platforming, where you can combine gooey critters together to create bridges and fuel giant machines. After it launched, one of the developers helped create Little Inferno, which feels like a spiritual successor to World of Goo, even though the mechanics are completely different.
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Cave's Bullet Hell Shooters
If Dante had been born 700 years later, he might have made room in his Inferno for bullet hell, a genre where twitchy players are swarmed on all sides by glowing dots that cause them terrible damage. This style of hardcore arcade shoot 'em up, notorious for its frustrating difficulty, seems like the last thing you'd want to play on a touchscreen. After all, navigating around those dots requires precise movement controls. Amazingly, one company has made a name for themselves by producing the very best bullet hell shooters on iOS: Cave Interactive. (more…)
The 50 Best Game Series on iOS: Galaxy on Fire
A great game can invent a brand new world for you to explore, but Galaxy on Fire lets you travel to dozens of worlds, with all the empty space between. This lengthy, complex, and utterly gorgeous sim lets you pilot among the stars, visit far-flung locations, mine asteroids, and blast away space pirates. Between Galaxy on Fire 2 and its extensive add-on pack, Valkyrie, this is one of the best series you can buy for iOS.


text: That may sound like a strange question. I grew up much too late for the original Mickey Mouse Club, and was much too old to watch the later version. I loved Warner Brothers cartoons when I was younger (still do). My point is that I knew who Bugs Bunny was, I knew his personality, and liked it. If a saw Bugs in a bar Id buy him a drink. Well, if I saw him in a bar I might have had too much to drink already. What Im trying to say is besides being a corporate logo, what is Mickey like? Is he shy or outspoken, devious, friendly or what? Are there any specific classic cartoons I can watch to understand who he is?

It's no secret that I am an evangelist for Raven Tools. I've used them as an affiliate, as an agency and am now using them as a merchant – and I've been consistently blown away by its value to me in every single category.
In addition to being impressed by the Raven products, I've also long been impressed with the Raven Tools team – including founder Jon Henshaw and their individual team members like Taylor Pratt.
And just when I thought I couldn't get any more impressed? They upped their game – both professionally and as people.
The Raven Tools site (both front end and back end) got a sexy new design. And Jon very generously has offered up a one year subscription to the Raven Tools Pro plan (which is worth over $1100!) for me to auction off to support my fundraising efforts for the Heart and Stroke Walk this November.
But wait, it gets better!
Jon also has not set a limitation on who can win the auction. This means even current Raven customers can win (must currently be a Solo or Pro membership though – this cannot be "applied" towards higher pricing plans)!
So you can spend money you're already spending anyway (assuming you like insanely functional Internet marketing tools) AND support a great cause!
Bid Now!
I'm hosting the auction through eBay because frankly, I went nuts trying to find a decent charity auction site. However, 100% of the amount the winning auction bid will be donated to the Stroke Walk – I will personally cover any fees associated with the auction and/or auction payment. Bidding ends the morning of May 12th, so get your bid in now!

If you are caught in a financial dilemma you might be forced to apply for a loan. Basically you can get a loan from virtually anything you own. That is why you normally hear of loans on cars houses furniture and even salary loans. The kind of loan you apply for normally depends on how you would like to make use of the money. If you are in need of fast cash to resolve some emergency issues cash loans would be the best option to settle for.
Before you apply for any of these loans you ought to understand that there is a large number of lending institutions out there which you can turn to. However you need to take some time and analyze each of these lenders so as to make sure they are offering you the highest number of benefits. If you need cash loans or any other kind of loans on the web or offline as well you need to think about these elements.
How Is The Background Of The Company Like?
You can get to understand the background of the lender by doing some research on the internet. Lending institutions that are related to other similar ones are the best to go for. This means that they are able to offer you stable amounts and manageable interest rates. However if you want to make things easier you can search for forums which discuss the kind of loans you are looking for see if people offer any recommendations and try them out.
Read Their Website to Learn More
After doing your research you can go through the company website so as to get to know more about what they offer borrowers like you. Make sure you check what details they would want to get from you before making an application. In all these you have to make sure that you can pay up the interest rates as defined by the lender. Simply put do not leave any stone unturned.
How Is Their Customer Support Like?
You also need to check out how these lenders communicate with their customers. They need to offer you a list of contact details so you can reach them when you are in need. If you realize that a company does not want to give you these details or they are rather hidden from your eyes they might not be the best people to work with. You might need some clarifications in a later date and thus contacts count a lot. See here to read information about finance.

Michael Palin opens the new extension to the Southwold Electric Picture Palace.
By BEN WOODS
Thursday, August 23, 2012
Michael Palin has called for Southwold's "unique character" to be protected after campaigners were defeated last week in their battle to stop a national chain opening in the town.
The TV travel presenter and Monty Python star said it was important to protect Southwold's "harmony" to prevent it becoming like other seaside towns across the country.
It comes after Costa Coffee was given the green light last week to open a café at 70 High Street – a move which objectors fear will harm the business of its independent traders.
Speaking at an event tonight (Thursday, August 23) to re-launch Southwold's Electric Picture Palace cinema, he said: "I don't think anywhere can totally resist change, but Southwold is a very special place. It's a town full of harmony and architectural features that go together beautifully and the fact that is still here is wonderful.
"I wouldn't be very happy if they started knocking through walls and putting in big supermarkets.
"Southwold has got a uniqueness that comes from being slightly cut off, but we have to keep its unique image because we do not want it to look the same as every other seaside town.
"The place has such a wonderful feeling – why would you want to change it much?"
The legendary comic developed an affinity with Southwold after holidaying in north Suffolk as a child and went on to meet his wife Helen in the town, while his parents retired to the area in 1966.
6 comments
I don't think that opening one Costa cafe in the town will make that much difference to the high street. Southwold has always been a unique place and I'm sure the residents will continue to fight to retain its individuality as they always have in the past. It was always mothers favourite place to stay and I often go with my family to have a wander along the sea front and the pier and then head down the other end to admire the views across the river to Walberswick.
Thursday, August 23, 2012
went there yesterday.not my favourite day out.
Thursday, August 23, 2012
Southwold is a fossil and I`m sure is capable of preserving that uniqueness a while longer. Wait until Wetherspoon`s come to town..... choice of beer at affordable prices. Sensibly priced food. Finding a suitable site might be difficult. Swan or Crown, maybe? Or a tasteful conversion of Adman`s brewery?
Friday, August 24, 2012
He does not appear to have said anything specific about Costa opening so I don't think we can assume he is against it. He speaks about preserving the character of the place, and one coffee shop is not a threat to that.
Thursday, August 23, 2012
The town was hideous beyond belief this weekend. Why when we have a lovely common, a seafront, lots of greens with seats would anyone want to sit cross legged on the pavement outside the chip shop stuffing food into their mouths with both hands ? We don't need Costa to lower the tone - we are there already.
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
yeh --Walberswick--the only village to have a sign warning they charge £3 just to enter it.very friendly.

I recently had to replace the key pad for my garage door opener. After doing this, the door works fine when I punch in the code but none of my remotes work now. Does anyone know how to re-program the remotes? Thanks! |

- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 07 at 16:45
Hold down the button on your remote and then press and immediately release the smart/learn button on the back of your motor unit. Do this for each remote. If your remotes quit when you programmed your new keypad you probably got the wrong one. If your remotes work o.k. after programming and your keypad has quit it is certain you got the wrong one. |
Ok, I programmed the remotes like you suggested and now my keypad doesn't work. Does this mean I have the wrong keypad? How do I know which keypad to buy? Thanks. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 23, 07 at 14:55
Yes you got the wrong keypad. Take the model number off the motor unit to Sears. The model number starts with 139. and has at least 5 additional numbers. |
Ok,thanks. When I bought the keypad I thought it said it was good for the complete series which my opener falls under. I'll check it out. |
i have the exact same problem and just posted it, I know i have the right keypad because it used to work. The remotes stopped working so I reprogrammed and I can get each to work independently but not together |

In a way, she acquires a mini holy grail, where she has fixed the cost of acquiring a lead on a fully variable basis. She might need 50,000 leads of type 1 in month 1 and reduce this number to 20,000 in month 2 and none in month 3 as her back office is bent under the load of too many leads.

Dumb Mayans, Dumber Americans
Gene Lalor | December 19, 2012
 There are an awful lot of dumb people in our world. I don't much care about the other dummies but I do worry about American dumbarses. Â
DUMB: New York Jet coach Rex Ryan must have been hit in the head once too often when he played at Southwestern Oklahoma State University since he still believes in QB Mark Sanchez and refuses to give the football to Tim Tebow. He must also believe he has his daddy's coaching smarts. Â
DUMBER: Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has to have lost his mind since word is he's offered to adopt Nancy Pelosi's plan to raise taxes on millionaires without a Democrat commitment to curb their massive spending. I guess he never heard that the Dems shafted Reagan and Bush I with the same spending scam.    Â
EVEN DUMBER: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton allegedly clunked her head and had a concussion following her bout with the hershey trots but never went to a hospital and believes that people will buy her story that she's now unable to testify on what she did and didn't do to save American lives in Benghazi.Â
DUMBEST: Still, the dumbest Americans of all have to those building and buying bunkers, stocking them with foodstuffs, survival equipment, weaponry, and probably with the likes of "On the Beach" and "Day After Tomorrow" dvd's to while away their time.  They're absolutely convinced the world will end in less than two days when a cataclysm is visited upon our Big Blue Marble due to flipping planetary axes, the occurrence of "a solar maximum," being swallowed by a galactic black hole, colliding with planet "Nibiru," or all of the above.Â
Question:Â If the world ends on Friday, will dvd's still work?Â
An equally-plausible scenario: On Friday at 9 am, (6 am on the west coast), a horde of extra-terrestrials will invade our planet, seize control of the United Nations, mandate that all humankind become Mexicans, convert to Zoroastrianism, declare Barack Hussein Obama Omnipotent God of the Earth, and turn us into delectable morsels ala "Soylent Green."       Â
 And all because December 21st concludes a 5125-year-long cycle in the so-called Mayan Long Count calendar.Â
The Mayan culture is thought to have begun some time between 2000 B.C. to 250 A.D.–an odd, misty gap of 2,250 years. They hit their pinnacle some time between 250 and 900 A.D. (650 years). They reached their nadir after the conquistadors arrived in the 1600′s and demonstrated the very significant differences between Mayan wooden spears and colorful arrows versus Spanish crossbows, harquebuses, and steel blades.Â
The Mayans believed in a 260-day year, worshipped a dozen or so gods including Ix Tab, Goddess of Suicide, and thought their fickle deities determined whether their crops would thrive or die. They developed a written language, achieved great artistic, architectural, mathematical and astronomical innovations–even while they practiced human sacrifice of captured prisoners or drugged Mayan "volunteers" and conducted general bloodletting whenever they became excited about something.Â
 The most notable feature of the Mayans is that they're virtually extinct as a culture and definitely extinct as an empire.  A few million Mayans nominally exist in Guatemala, Mexico, the Yucatán, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras and some even speak a Mayan language. No doubt they're oblivious of the reality their forebears effected their own end by clear-cutting their forests thereby exacerbating drought conditions and by constantly warring and over-breeding.Â
Not very bright for a people who presumed to be capable of predicting an apocalypse. Â
More to the point, almost no contemporary Mayans and virtually no other sane people subscribe to the view that we shouldn't shop for Christmas because the Long Calendar predicted THE END of everything on Friday.   Â
If the Mayans were such damned brilliant prognosticators, why didn't they foresee that they were committing civilizational suicide or that the conquistadors would kick their primitive asses and reduce their empire to the equivalent of the Etruscans or China's Tang Dynasty?   Why didn't they invoke Itzamná, their "god of all," to save them?Â
For that matter, why do millions of "modern," "sophisicated," "intelligent" earthlings buy into the Mayan baloney? The Mayans have been wrong before and more contemporary doomsayers were wrong in 1982 when the "Jupiter Effect" was supposed to be a wrap for life as we know it and on New Year's Eve 1999 when Y2K was scheduled to collapse the planet the next day and make hangover remedies unnecessary.Â
Yet, millions worldwide accept that the dumb Mayans' prophecy is biblical truth. When Jesus Christ said of the End Times in Luke 21:7-8, "Watch out that you are not deceived.  For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them,†He may have been referring to the Mayans (among others).Â
My personal Short Calendar shows five days left before I should begin shopping for Christmas presents for my bride.       Â

Hometown: Greece, N.Y.
Years with The Zone: 3
Well it looks like I'm The Zone's newest rookie. You want to know a little bit about me eh? I have an odd obsession with lemon flavored things. Lemon filled donuts, lemon cheesecake, lemon drops, there's always a lemon in my water bottle, and even lemon flavored toothpaste. When I was younger, the only way I would eat potato bread was when my mom told me it was lemon bread. Weird right? I've always wanted to be on a game show. The Price is Right would be my first choice, Wheel of Fortune second.
- When the Zombie apocalypse occurs, what would be in your survival pack? Well I would need a top-notch gun to shoot off the flesh eating bastards, protein bars to sustain energy, and a pair of ear buds because I can't do anything without listening to music, especially kill zombies.
- If you had enough money to retire, what would you do with all your free time? I would do what I did before I started working: spend my free time riding my bike all over the streets of this town and every mile of canal/bike path. (When Rochester weather would permit) I'd also kick back and relax while reading books in the backyard under the sun. And have the radio "turnt up" as the kids say these days.
- When was the last time you tried something new? What was it? The last time I tried something new… I tried "working" from home so I wouldn't have to come into work. My boss didn't like my idea very much. My bank account wouldn't either.
- You woke up tomorrow, and realized you had a super power! What would it be? The ability to fly! Getting around Rochester with our always congested highways and moronic drivers combined with my horrible luck of getting stuck at EVERY red light in town no matter what direction I am coming from make the ability to fly around when I need to travel fast and more convenient!
- What movie are you looking forward to seeing the most this year? Don't really watch movies too often. Whatever catches my eye while scrolling through new Netflix titles.

A Tale of Two Guinea Pigs
Meet Teddy and Pip, two sweet, adorable, and funny guinea pigs. Their lives are full of treats and TV and best friends. It seems that everything is perfectly normal for them. But normal can't describe Teddy and Pip. They have a huge secret to keep....
The Bridezilla Who Stole Christmas
Christmas is coming and love is in the air! Nothing could spoil Teddy and Pip's favorite holiday! But this year, Christmas must've forgotten about the two special guinea pigs. There is no tree, no lights, no presents. What can they do?
The Trouble with Max
Teddy and Pip have known that Max is no good from the start. But what happens when all their other best friends are away and Max is the only one left to take care of them? They have to find a way to get rid of him and get their best friends back!
Nubb Trouble
Join fourth-grade detective Molly Jane Fisher and the gang as things go from crazy to crazier along the road to solving the latest mystery!The two sassy and amazing guinea pigs, Teddy and Pip, are convinced that monsters are tapping on the windows of their once-perfect little house, and all they want is to pack up the boxes and move away.
On the other hand, Molly is ninety-nine percent sure that this latest Taylor Drive mischief is the work of the neighborhood bully, Benny Nubb. All she needs is some proof, and that mean boy will get in trouble with his mom and the tapping will stop. But getting that proof is harder than Molly thought it would be. For one thing, Benny Nubb seems to be everywhere, watching Molly's every move. Add to that problem two unreasonable guinea pigs, absent parents, Max's new girlfriend, a huge thunderstorm, a State Fair project, the worst spot in the whole gym, an unreasonable Nora, and no ideas for winning a ribbon — it's enough to drive anyone cuckoo!
On the bright side, Tweets seems to have all the answers. But everyone knows that you can't put a parakeet on the witness stand.
Are there young teens in your life who love to read? Check out Lisa's latest novel for ages 12 on up! It is a story with a bit of everything in it; friendship and family, an element of mystery and a sweet romance. (She even snuck a pair of guinea pigs into the mix!)

Wheres the new material!??!?!?! I'm a huge fan of this blog, and lately it seems there has been nothing new !!
Hey... she's kinda cute.
Anyway, the following site is pretty cool, but users have a Voyager bias. I submitted some pretty obvious iPhone-only questions ("Which phone has pinch-technology?") and people still voted Voyager. Joke. Help!
Funny....every time I come to your site it never ceases to amuse me and turn my stomach at the same time. That is too funny.

Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann (+1982), prolific author, beloved priest, and dean of St. Vladimir's Seminary
Just as he did a thousand years ago, so today the simple believer goes to church in order primarily to "touch other worlds" (Dostoevsky). In a sense, he is not interested in worship, in the way in which experts and connoisseurs of all liturgical details are interested in it. And he is not interested because "standing in the temple" he receives all that for which he thirsts and seeks: the light, the joy, and the comfort of the Kingdom of God, that radiance which, in the words of the agnostic Chekov, beams from the faces of the "old people who just returned from the church."
What use could such a believer have for complex and refined explanations of what this or that rite represents, of what the opening or closing of the royals doors is supposed to mean?
He cannot keep up with all these symbolisms, and they are unnecessary for his faith. All he knows is that he has left his everyday life and has come to a place where everything is different and yet so essential, so desirable, so vital, that it illumines and gives meaning to his entire life.
Likewise he knows that this other reality makes life itself worth living, for everything proceeds to it, everything is related to it, everything is to be judged by it - by the Kingdom of God it manifests.
And, finally, he knows that even if the individual words or rites are unclear to him, the Kingdom of God has been given to him in the Church: in that common action, common standing before God, in love and unity.
