In the wake of last year's smashes Fahrenheit 9/11 and Super Size Me, is it any wonder that some of summer's best films are documentaries? Here are seven you won't want to miss.
The Aristocrats
WHAT IT'S ABOUT Among comedians, ''The Aristocrats'' is a famous joke. There are infinite ways to tell it the dirtier, the better. How you tell it says something about the kind of comic you are. One day in 2000, comedian Paul Provenza and magician Penn Jillette had the idea to make a doc about the joke, hoping it would say something larger about the
creative process. ''When we called George Carlin and asked him if he
would be a part of this, he was blown away,'' recalls Provenza, who has
spent nearly 30 years as an under-the-radar stand-up. ''He was like,
'This is a snapshot of the art of comedy at the turn of the century.'''
WHY YOU SHOULD SEE IT Because starting with Carlin's delivery of the first full X-rated ''tell,'' The Aristocrats will have you doubling over in laughter and sputtering in disbelief. (It's NC-17 material, but THINKFilm decided to release it unrated.) If that's not reason enough, consider this: Out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen (including Robin Williams, Sarah Silverman, Eric Idle, and Lewis Black), no one is funnier or more disgusting than Bob Saget or Gilbert Gottfried, two comic kicking posts who deserve major career renaissances after this.
THINGS TO KNOW GOING IN If you don't enjoy dirty humor, don't go see it. In fact, Provenza and Jillette don't want you to see it. ''Let me make it very clear,'' says Jillette. ''We don't want to do advertising that says 'See Robin Williams! See Whoopi Goldberg!' so that people go and see it who might be blindsided. This,'' he booms, ''is the dirtiest movie ever made, in terms of language. Which is why I pushed very hard for the [marketing] slogan we're using, which is 'No nudity. No violence. Unspeakable obscenity.''' He laughs. ''I think if you read that in the paper, and you go to see the movie, and the language offends you, it's no longer my fault.'' Gregory Kirschling
WHAT IT'S ABOUT One of the hardest-hitting sports in the world, ''quad rugby'' (or ''murderball'') features paralyzed men zooming around indoor courts in wheelchairs souped up like bumper cars, scoring points and, perhaps most importantly, inflicting as many beatdowns as possible on their opponents. (Yes, quadriplegics can play rugby and, as the movie
reveals, also do just about anything else.) At the center are the
sport's Michael Jordan and Larry Bird Mark Zupan, a hunky heavy-metal
Texan, and Joe Soares, a legendary player-cum-fiercely-competitive
coach who learn to overcome obstacles both on the court and off.
WHY YOU SHOULD SEE IT The filmmakers have no qualms about revealing anything and everything in the lives of their subjects be it a painfully awkward wedding anniversary dinner Soares shares with his wife or, yep, a how-to sex video used by would-be lotharios who just happen to be quadriplegic. ''Guys in wheelchairs are usually dissed or ignored or humiliated because of ignorant comments,'' says Henry Alex Rubin, who codirected the movie with Dana Adam Shapiro. ''So [it's wonderful] to have all eyes trained on them positively.'' Indeed, the movie may just be the most fun you'll have at the movies this summer, plain and simple.
THINGS TO KNOW GOING IN Quad, or wheelchair, rugby is a hugely popular Paralympic sport, with teams fielded by nations from all over the world; players include folks paralyzed by injury (Zupan was in a car accident) and disease (Soares is a polio survivor). But Murderball which won the Documentary Audience Award at January's Sundance Film Festival is the biggest exposure the game has gotten so far. Says Zupan, whose celebrity as a leader of the U.S. Paralympics team once won him an audience with President Bush: ''Even better than watching yourself on screen is to see the reactions from other people.'' Sure enough, the frank and funny result underscores a basic human truth: Folks in wheelchairs are people too...and they can kick the crap out of you! Joshua Rich

Further information
Who can be hypnotised?
Virtually anyone can be hypnotised. Although some people are more readily able to be hypnotised than others, that largely depends upon the willingness to be hypnotised at that time. Nobody can be hypnotised against their will, so if you choose not to be hypnotised, you will not be. However, it is said that if you allow the process to occur, then most people can be hypnotised.
Who may benefit from hypnotherapy?
Again, the answer to this question is virtually everyone. Given that hypnotherapy can be utilised to access a person's inner potential and that probably no-one is performing to their actual potential, then this answer is literally true. However, it is not just potential which hypnotherapy is well placed to address but also one's inner resources to effect beneficial change.
What are contraindications?
Although there are many presenting issues where hypnotherapy may bring relief and wellbeing, there are instances in which it may be contra-indicated. In some cases, GP approval will be required before hypnotherapy can start although this will be explored at the initial consultation.
Is it safe?
Hypnotherapy is a perfectly normal and safe alternative state of consciousness. People are sometimes concerned that they will lose control during hypnosis however, regardless of how deeply you go into hypnosis and however passive you may appear to be, you actually remain in full control of the situation. You will be able to communicate with Jula during hypnosis if you wish to and you can instruct her to stop at any time. You are always in control.
Stage hypnotists (such as people you may have seen on the TV) use similar techniques (e.g. trance, suggestion and visualisation) that a hypnotherapist will use but this is where the similarity ends. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis positively, helping people to access their inner resources in a powerful and permanent way – it is not, under any circumstances, used for amusement or entertainment.
What does hypnosis feel like?
You know how you feel when you allow yourself to drift off to sleep and how to recognise that feeling of relaxation as the body senses slow down? The hypnotic trance shares the same commonalities, the only difference being, the hypnotherapist will induce the state of relaxation. Hypnosis is not the same as sleep. It is an altered state of mind similar to daydreaming or becoming absorbed in an activity that you lose track of time. During these times you are not asleep, merely unconcerned about your surroundings at the time – for example, becoming absorbed in a book. Your attention is absorbed in the book, to the exclusion of everything else, which means that sensations can go overlooked or even ignored.
How many sessions will I need?
Every case is different and it varies with each person. Smoking cessation usually takes only 1 extended session (with some people taking advantage of the free booster session) but Jula's aim with everyone is to get you a little better or to give you a little bit more insight after every session. Jula's advice is, if you think you are getting better then keep coming and if you feel you've reached where you wish to be, then stop coming. Jula will always be honest with you and if she feels she's taken you as far as she can she will bring an end to therapy or if she feels it is not working for you, she will stop.
Will I give away my secrets?
You are in complete control of yourself, you will not say or do anything that will be against your will. There is no need to divulge any more information than you feel is necessary to alleviate your presenting problem.
Are there any side effects from hypnotherapy?
The worst possible side effect is that you may fall asleep! If Jula were to stop talking for a while, you could either allow yourself to become more relaxed and so fall asleep, or you could open your eyes. You are in total control of your trance experience. Some people become emotional during hypnosis or a few days following therapy, but this is often an emotional release. On the other hand, the best possible side effect is that you will notice a complete alleviation of your presenting problem, and the knowledge that you are able to create your own success and live the life you wish for.
Will I remember everything during hypnosis?
Total amnesia for the entire hypnotic procedure is unlikely. Sometimes it will be necessary to remember certain portions of the process in order to ensure your total success.
Does hypnotherapy involve drugs?
No, not at all. Jula merely uses her voice to create scenes which may mean you will be picturing, as in a daydream, the things that are being spoken of. In some cases you may experience the associated feelings.

There are many techiniques for making quilt blocks but some we like to do more then others.
My favorite is piecing with fabric cut to size using the sewing machine. Followed by applique, either hand or machine. I dislike paper piecing. There are those who like to piece by hand, with templates, etc. Which are you? |

I piece by machine, chain piece if appropriate. I also like paper piecing and applique for smaller projects. I appreciate any shortcuts I come up with, however. |

Piecing by machine followed by hand applique. I'll piece by hand if necessary. I don't care for paper piecing either, Jayne. SharonG/FL |
I will try most any technique but I'm just tellin' ya...Hand Applique and I are not friends!! |
I'm with tuppermom on this. The only hand work I like to do is the binding. I prefer to make blocks that can be chain pieced. If I am making a quilt with all the blocks the same, I chain piece all of them at the same time. (does that make sense?) What I mean is that I do the same step for all the blocks at the same time. Linda OH |

In my short quilting life, I have found that I do not like making the same block over & over many times. I much prefer sewing different blocks ~ the variety of a "design"made up from different blocks and borders, but I am not a fan of "samplers". I love to Paper Piece, I don't mind machine applique....Hand work is hard on my hands and elbows, so I probably will never learn to hand applique - but maybe someday. My time is so limited to sew, everything is sewn by machine. I'm still in the learning stage, although many things have become automatic, I still have to think alot about what I am doing! I try to challenge myself in every quilt. |
I only machine-piece. I like foundation or paper piecing and I like needleturn applique. I haven't done much curved piecing b/c I haven't had good luck with it when I've tried. I guess that's something I should work on! Donna |
I like piecing and chain piecing if possible! I have never been a big fan of hand work but I have been trying to have a project at work that I can do by hand during slow times and am starting to enjoy it more. For the most part I am too impatient to hand-stitch a block. Karlene |
I like machine piecing, especially strip piecing techniques. I also like machine applique. Just like most of the rest of you I don't care for hand applique or paper piecing. |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 11:07
I'm another one that likes to machine piece blocks and I include chain piecing and strip piecing. I like the look of machine applique on blocks and borders, but I don't "do" hand applique. There are few sampler quilts that I go "wow" over. I'm now on my fourth or fifth quilt by the Nickel Squares method which I really like for the scrappiness of it, easy factor, and the wonderful results! Teresa |
- Posted by bozogardener (My Page) on Thu, Apr 14, 11 at 12:22
I like to machine piece, but I try to do paper piecing and hand applique as well. I like different looks and so I am trying to learn different skill sets so I can do different designs. I am very slow with quilts since I work full time and have other hobbies. I do one or two a year, and they are not bed size quilts. Currently I am thinking of trying kaleidoscopes using Paula Nadelstern's methods. |
I only machine sew, the only hand sewing is the binding. I like to machine piece, and paper piecing. I don't like doing applique. I've never tried hand applique. I'm working on strip pieceing, for some reason that has been a challenge for me. |
I like to machine piece but do keep a hand work project going to carry with me when I travel. These are usually long term things and intended just to keep me occupied on trips (I can't stand to not be doing something). I love patterns that can be chain pieced and lean more toward "techniques" rather than complicated patterns. I am beginning to embrace paper piecing, but hand applique still gives me headaches. beverly |

As I go along in this process, and read on this forum, I think of things that I perhaps should have specified in the contract with the GC that didn't even cross my mind at the time. Have you any items that you would advise others to think about and specify? Are some of these too detailed for the contract? Some of these are items that have been a problem, others are items that I didn't specify but luckily have been taken care of anyway in what I think is the proper way but worried about at the time. Maybe some of these things are also things that the HO can do to hold down costs: Dust control during demolition and sanding, trash removal, debris removal What is to be done with the removed appliances, cabinets, sink etc ( if some can be salvaged and used, sold or donated) Clean-up -- especially after the drywall sanding (the GC is making them come back to do it, fortunately!) Permits and inspections -- who will get them Meeting code requirements for electrical and plumbing Just exactly what the GC is responsible for (payment, permits, quality control etc) and when he will do it, will he visit the job, how often Are the workers subcontractors or the GC's own employees What time will the workers be there each day, and for how long (variances subject to notification and agreement) Who will provide what materials an approximate timeline for the work -- including when HO will do some things (paint, for example) Just where the outlets and switches will be placed, with what orientation (ie 2" above counter lever with horizontal orientation) Placement of light fixtures, how many, what type to accommodate what kind of lights (CFL, LED) and size Flooring replacement: what kind of flooring material, is it to be level with the flooring in other rooms, will door trim need to be cut or repaired, will the flooring be extended under the dishwasher/sink cabinets. If insulation has to be removed, how and with what will it be replaced (I had foam insulation in the walls; the guy bluntly refused to install new foam while the walls were open but did put in fiberglass batting) If wall/ceiling material has to be removed (in my case it was cement board) what will it be replaced with (again in my case, waterproof since it was under the bath) and how finished (paint ready, for tile, etc) Who will move and re-install appliances to be re-used How will flooring in both the work area and other traffic areas be protected If there is something TBD, like exactly how many cans in the ceiling, address either the additional charge for more or discount for less What kind of trim, baseboard, window, windowsill -- if matching existing, new, re-using, repairing |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need to watch for putting too much of the design in the actual contract. You'll be bound to that decision which could end up being a problem if you later change your mind. On the other hand, if you're exactly positive then it could be a good thing. I hired an architect first (or a KD could do the same) who specified high-level what was needed, for purposes of a quote. That included preliminary decisions around appliances, just for pricing purposes (they weren't what we picked in the end.) The estimate came in based on that document. I then attached my initial spec in as an Appendix, then had some wording talking about how to negotiate changes to the preliminary scope. To me things like where to put electrical wall switches, etc. shouldn't go in without some proviso saying you're free to make final determinations later. Do you want to be bound now to the decision you make in these cases before you start the work? It's important to work though changes in scope and impact on cost. Unless your design is really complete or unless you've done this before a few times, it's unlikely your final price will be what you're quoted now unless they come in with a fixed bid (which I'd argue isn't in your best interest unless you have no ability at all to go beyond your set price limit). If your planned interaction with the GC will be minimal (e.g. you won't be in the building or need to rely on specs to communicate decisions) then I'd put the specificity in specs and refer to the spec documents. Permitting, code compliance, etc. are all very good things to have in the contract -- for me they were drawn up in my architect (or KD) initial drawing / spec. Payment plan is also important (at what milestones do you release portions of payment). Also, I'd include the prime / sub contractor relationship (or say that all payments go only to the prime) and ensure that you'll have lien waivers to protect you in the future. |

Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter
Mic activator
Cloudlifter CL-1 mic activator is simple and compact, designed for all passive microphones (including ribbons). The CL-1 safely uses any standard phantom powered microphone input device to provide up to +25db of ultra-clean, transparent gain. Cloudlifters dramatically improve the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live and studio applications. Driven by the phantom power circuit on board a mixer, the Cloudlifter CL-2 adds up to +25dB of perfectly transparent gain to your signal, giving low-output mics a major boost which can make even budget microphones sound clean and professional. The Cloudlifter CL-2 is also ideal for use with any ribbon mic, since it changes the phantom power that can hurt them into the extra gain they require. It can provide long cable runs with enough energy to ward off noise. The CL-Z mic activator uses phantom power from a preamp to solve issues with dynamic and ribbon microphones while maximizing a signal's quality. The direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry preserves a signal's integrity. Get control over the input impedance to get the best out of any mic, and
a variable output level (+12 to +24dB) to drive even the longest cable runs with ease.

Graham Westley: Preston North End boss sacked
Preston North End have sacked manager Graham Westley after 13 months in charge at Deepdale.
The 44-year-old former Stevenage boss's departure follows Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at Yeovil.
Westley leaves the Lilywhites just five points above the League One relegation zone, with only one win in the competition since November.
Graham Westley factfile
- Born 4 March 1968 in Hounslow
- Started his career as a striker as trainee at Queen's Park Rangers
- Left QPR in 1986 and had spells at 13 different clubs, including Gillingham, Enfield and Harrow Borough before an ankle injury curtailed his playing career
- Moved into management with Kingstonian in 1996
- Had spells at Enfield and Farnborough before moving to Stevenage for the first time
- Took the club into the Conference play-offs but lost in the final to Carlisle
- Left in 2006, but after spells at Rushden and Kettering, came back to the Lamex Stadium
- Secured back-to-back promotions with Stevenage to take them from the Conference to League One
- Left to replace Phil Brown as Preston boss in January 2012
"The board felt that a change of manager was the only way forward," a statement on the club website read.
After the loss at Huish Park, Westley insisted that he would not walk away from his position.
"When things aren't working, it's my responsibility to do all I can to right them," he told BBC Radio Lancashire on Tuesday.
"I'm working in difficult circumstances with injuries. You've never seen me walk away from anything in my life, so don't expect me to [resign]."
Westley, who has spent most of his playing and managerial career in non-league, rose to prominence when he guided Stevenage into the Football League for the first time in the club's history, before taking them into League One at the first attempt.
He left Stevenage to take over at Preston in January 2012, and after guiding his new club to a 15th-placed finish in the league last season, Westley carried out an overhaul of the squad during the summer.
From last term's side, only goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann, defender Bailey Wright and winger Will Hayhurst remained at Deepdale as he replaced almost the entire squad.
Westley's Preston record
- Games in all competitions: 62
- Won: 16
- Drawn: 23
- Lost: 23
Preston began the season solidly, but injuries to key players Keith Keane and Scott Laird meant their form stuttered and helped contribute to Westley's departure.
His exit means this is the fourth successive season that Preston have had a managerial change, after Alan Irvine, Darren Ferguson and Phil Brown were sacked from the post in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively.
The club have confirmed that they will announce who will take charge on caretaker basis on Thursday.

14th February 2013 - 13:45Only thing PNE need to succeed and get us back to where we belong, is a manager who likes to get the ball down and play; like PNE used to, also one who cares about the club. For me, Alexander should have been offered the job back when we had the chance. Sean Gregan is who i'd like to take the reins

Went to see PNE play once - great club, great local support. Hope the board gets their act together and get PNE back where they belong in the PL. All the best, from an Arsenal fan (yes, my local team :-) )

Carroll Vertrees: A name is a name ... unless it's incongruous
Carroll Vertrees September 22, 2012 7:54PM
Carrol Vertrees
Updated: October 24, 2012 6:18AM
I probably should not use a word like incongruity in mixed company because I am not absolutely sure what it means. But I can spell it and I think I saw one in my mail the other day.
It's because of my name, probably. The package was heavy with medical advice, with hints of how to avoid surgery. I was invited to send for a free copy of "The Prostate Answer Book." A bonus included "10 Vibrant Health Tips for Men." I will not mention the details.
This wonderful package was addressed to Ms. Carrol Vertrees.
See? I found an incongruity right there in my mail.
My first name is a problem, I reckon.
Even some of my fans (I have a few) don't get it. I got this nice note from a lady who thanked me for helping her recall some fond memories. I was touched until I noticed that her note was addressed to "Ms."
That surprised me because a photo of my glorious full-length 120-pound hunk of masculinity was right there with my wonderful prose.
I desperately hope that the folks running the final roll call stuff will have a picture of me so that they will send me to the right dormitory and robe-fitting room.
I use the word dormitory because before I arrived at the little church college campus many years ago, this pretty coed welcomed me and said she would be my big sister. That first-name thing even then. It did not work out, but we had fun.
Names are funny things. A girl named Sarah is sometimes called Sally. And why do we call guys Jack when they are named John? Sometimes Margarets are called Peggy. Odd, but at least there is no gender question. Shakespeare (a male named Bill) had somebody ask what's in a name, but I still don't know for sure.
My first name can be spelled five ways. When I spell it out on a computer, it is always underlined as if there is a question. I wonder if the computer sees an incongruity.
I remember the great song about a boy named Sue, and I am jealous because he had a lot fun. Well, so do I.
One day a guy called and when I answered he asked "Is your mommy there?" I asked who he wanted and he said "Carrol." I don't know how he spelled it. I told him in my kid voice that she was busy.
I bought a new car and the guy who handled the sale sent me a thank-you note addressed to "Ms."
This new girl at the doctor's office called my name and was startled when I got up. She kept on looking for somebody else, like a female person. Surprise!
I was introduced to a fellow the other day and he said "Oh, yes. Vantrease." He was thinking of Glen Vantrease, a really good guy who left the area years ago. So my last name is not a household word, and here I thought I was famous. Not so, I reckon.
Years ago a guy named U Nu (that's right) was premier of Burma or some far-off place. We headline writers salivated when we got a story about him. Impossible to spell that name wrong, but I often wondered if he got mail addressed to Ms., well, you know, U Nu.
This name stuff keeps my mind off politics, a true incongruity.

Travel to Quito and experience old-world splendour, volcanic landscapes and indigenous crafts.
Things to do
Traverse the slopes of dramatic Pichincha volcano in the city's cable car. The day's last rays of sun bathe the mountain valley below as Quito's distant streetlights flicker to life.
In Quito's perfectly preserved colonial centre, market stalls offering hand-woven Panama hats lie on steep, narrow streets. Marvel at the exquisite detail of five generations' worth of dedication - the perfect souvenir from your Quito holiday.
Flights to Quito give a chance to savour fresh ceviche (citrus-marinated fish) served with Ecuadorian plantain and rice. Join the well-heeled locals on an outside table in the bustling Mariscal quarter.
Neon-lit palm trees, packed courtyards and joyous dancing prevail in Quito's steamy salsotecas (salsa clubs). Take flights to Quito and hone your salsa skills.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Quito. Choose your city break to catch the spectacular Easter Week processions or December's colourful celebrations of the city's founding – the Fiestas de Quito.

Well, I finally tried it and it worked, I was so afraid to try cold processed soap because everyone always says their first couple batches are terrible. I actually did not think mine was going to turn out ( I was expecting it to look like something else when ready to pour), but I have soap. The only thing is I think it is to strong, I used 3oz of Eucalyptus oil to 8lb so soap. STRONG. Hopefully will calm down once curing done.
I am going to continue to use the M&P Goat's Milk for some of my soaps but want cold process for my aromatherapy soaps. Some other things I am working on getting ready for new website and big May show: New body butter and souffle, baby bottom balm and new spring fragrances such as Lemongrass Sage (love it) Does anyone know where you can get mister bottles inexpensive? I am tired of paying 70 cents a bottle. I want to know where these wholesale sights by there's so I can cut my cost down. It is rediculous the amt I have to charge for a spray because the bottles are so high. Anyway, someone pleassssse post some thing!!!!!! Elle |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good for you! I have often toyed with the idea of trying it, but like you said, everyone says their first couple of batches turned out bad, so I haven't given it a shot. I am afraid of burning my skin by improperly made soap or something. I think I will stick with M&P, but I have ordered some CP soap shreds (all natural) and I am going to use them in some hand milled soaps. That way I will have the best of both worlds (I think). As for the bottles, I belong to several yahoo coop groups and I have always gotten the best prices through coop participation. If you don't want to join a yahoo group, just peruse some newsgroups, such as The Soap Dish or bathandbeautyforum.com and you will find lots of fast buys and coops. Susan (still hanging out here in this basically dead group..) |
dead is an understatement...... Glad the CP worked out for you! Lemongrass sage sounds good! Hazel |
Just wanted to add, my first batch of cold process turned out fine--except that I made rose scented soap....got it to trace, added some soap dye to it, got it a pretty pink, added the rose oil, everything was great. Poured it in the mold, covered & wrapped for 24 hrs. let it start doing it's thing, unwrapped after about 26 hrs, took the cover off........and it was SALMON PINK not the pretty soft pink I had poured............. THe color DID tone down somewhat as it cured, but it never did go back to the pretty rose pink I had...... after that I didn't bother with much dye, just left it natural. Only did about 6-7 batches, because I was also doing M&P glycerin, & with both options on the craft show table, the M&P sold 10 times better than the CP. Folks liked the colors/scents better than the CP. Now I think the CP would do better at shows, because so many people are doing their own thing with M&P at home, sales are falling off (at least locally) for the M&P. Also, locally, the lotions, milk baths etc never did well for me at shows. Does on the web site, but not at the shows....... Hazel |
Hazel, It is interesting how the color changed, isn't it? I have a few CP soaps that a friend makes that I have in my shop. They are wonderful, all natural soap, but they don't sell. Everyone likes the MP soap better, and I have to admit that I do, too. I used a bar of her wonderful, herb-filled CP soap, and although it was nice, I just prefer the feel of the MP soap. The CP soap, although all natural and formulated to be gentle, felt very "rough" (for lack of a better word) than my MP soaps do. Also, the frgarance in CP soap (hers, anyway) didn't fill the bathroom like my MP soaps do. Like you, the other bath products do not sell for me. I don't even fool with them anymore. The one thing that sells like crazy and I have to really stay on top to keep it in stock, is my Whipped Shea Butter. I sell out of it every weekend. Of course, if you have ever used it, you will never use another moisturizing product again. I use unrefined shea from Africa bought through a coop, and I don't add anything at all to it- just soften it up and whip the heck out of it. Around here, there are lots of Shea products offered at stores, but they are not 100% pure Shea Butter- a big difference! Susan |
I think the glycerin sells great at shows. I have noticed though that people who like pure essentials oils, aromatherapy etc tend to prefer the cold processed soaps. Soooo, I am going to try doing only the soaps that contain ess. oils ( Lavender, Patchouli, Peppermint, Eucalyptus etc)in CP and see how they sell. I am also considering doing a baby soap in a Castile Soap but will have to wait and see how Lavender Vanilla does in CP. In the M&P I do alot of Goat's Milk and love it. I know what you mean about the color, I have seen some peoples soaps where you can see that could not have been the color they were looking for. I am just leaving mine natural and let the herbs etc color the soaps. Susan, I tried handmilled soap and I did not have luck with it and did not try again after that. Let me know how yours turn out. I tried the crock pot method, mine just turned into a big CROCK!!!! My butter sells great as well. I took your lead earlier in another thread about mold in my butter and stopped adding water etc. just whipping the butter then scenting and I am so happy now, don't have to worry about preservatives and I can package in tins which I love the look of and so do my customers. So thanks for that idea. I will keep you posted on how future CP soaps turn out. Michelle |

I have found the right spot for my ironing board. Right now it's set up in my bedroom, which is convenient but not too attractive.
I usually iron something most mornings before going to work. I don't want to run down two flights to the basement where I do my laundry. I have two spare bedrooms, but I don't want it set up in there, either. I've thought of looking for an ironing board that might fold down from a closet door. Maybe that would work. Where's your's? I really do have to iron, so going wrinkled isn't an option! Pam |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine is in our bedroom, too. I have it set up in a corner by a window. I get up very early for work, and the window affords me enough light without wakling DH up. I haven't found a better place for it, either. After I iron, I hang the clothes up and am ready to get dressed when I get out of the shower, so it is convenient. Granted, I don't like to have the ironong board out all the time, but at least it's behind closed doors, so to speak. |

Ours is in a large foyer closet. I pull it out on laundry day, set it up in the LR, and do all of my ironing for the week at one time. |
Our house is small but has a very large closet off the family room. The ironing board and my out-of-season clothes are all there. |
I used to have an in-the-wall ironing board in the kitchen. I loved the convenience of flipping it down and up. It was in the corner farthest from the stove so no bubblies splashed. New house...in closet of spare bedroom upstairs facing a beautiful view. A little more work but I really like having it so close to my bedroom. georgeanne (fairly newbie) |

I have always had a built in ironing center cabinet. In the past it was in my bedroom but in this house we put it across from the laundry closet, just outside our bedroom. Very convenient, just flips down. Looks good and has the added advantage of a timered light and electrical socket. I never have to worry about leaving the iron on. |
Nice to know there are still a few of us who iron, I actually enjoy doing it. There are a lot of fold down boards, but I usually do mine once a mo. watching TV. Not sure if this says I have too many clothes to wear or am lazy. Am single and no longer working, the board is behind a door in the laundry room until needed. Here is one that goes over the door, not as expensive as most and not sure how sturdy it may be. You can also get hardware to attach to back of boards and attach to wall or doors. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Door fold down board
I have a plastic holder made by rubbermaid. It hangs on the wall behind my laundry room door. It holds the ironing board and the iron, when I need to use them I set them up in the hallway. |

I designed TWO folding/swiveling ironing boards into the design of our new small house. One is in the large master closet, and the other is in the ample laundry room. The house is single-story. |
My ironing board is hung on the wall in the laundryroom in the basement. Along with some other old things no longer in use. LOL. I am a great one for the downy spray and smooth. Or tossing in the dryer to unwrinkle. Sometimes I do get that old thing off the wall if there's nothing else working. Lou |
Mrsmarv, your morning sounds exactly like mine (minus the sleeping husband). I get my clothes out, iron what I need (usually a top), shower and jump into my suit then run off to work. I don't like having the ironing board in the bedroom because I tend to pile stuff on it and then the whole bedroom looks a mess. I'm redecorating in there and getting rid of some furniture that I don't really need. I never said I enjoy ironing, although one or two items at a time are okay! I'm trying to learn to take hangers down to the basement laundry and hang things as they come out of the dryer. Emagineer, thanks for that link. I like the idea of having a fold down laundry center, I just have to figure out where I can put it that is still convenient. Small houses are charming and I love mine, but they do present challenges, especially when it comes to storage and extras. Thanks, everyone. Pam |
I'm a single working women and I iron every morning before work and I have the type of ironing board that folds down from a closet door. I love it. I have mine in the spare bedroom. Works for me.. |
Sandy, that's what I'm thinking I will try. Maybe I'll see if there's a sturdy one at Bed Bath & Beyond when I'm out today. I just hope I fold it back up. I am not neat by nature! |
I have mine in my closet in my bedroom. I iron all of my clothes once a week and hang them in the closet. This way I don't have to iron everyday. See if that works for you. It did for me. This way you don't have to have it set up in your bedroom. |

Well, I guess this is weird, but: I keep our ironing board hidden between the refrigerator and the wall. I don't want to go down to the basement to iron and there's nowhere to keep the iron in our bedroom, so: in the space between the wall and the side of the refrigerator! |
Yes -- that's an odd spot! I wish I could be the type of person who would take the ironing board out, use it and out it away, but I'm not. It just stays out. If I kept in the litchen, I would be choping vegetables on it. No door-hanging boards at Bed Bath & Beyond. Maybe Target or K-Mart? I don't go to Wal-Mart. I have never been in one. |
I have a built in board in the master bath. Don't iron too much, and the bathroom door has to be closed when board is down. Not alot of room, Small House , but it works out fine for the two or us. I just iron as I need. |
Got a built-in one on eBay fairly cheap;even w/shipping it was cheaper than the ones I've seen at Home Depot. |
My goodness, my last post certainly was filled with typos. I hope you could understand my hieroglyphics. I will check out Home Depot. I have to go there for fertilizer anyway. |

Mine is a fold-down one hanging on our bedroom door. (Our closet door is a pocket door, so it can't go there) Behind the bedroom door is a laundry sorter, and on the wall above that is a metal iron holder - it would hold a regular ironing board too, but I just hang the newly ironed shirt from it. Because it's behind the door, the ironing board has to be folded up before you can easily open the door to leave the bedroom - great incentive to keep me from piling things on it like I used to do with a regular board! I got it at Target, it's about $20. I do have a full-sized ironing board in the guest room closet. Guests sometimes use it, or if I'm feeling ambitious I'll pull it out and do a lot of ironing while watching a movie. |
But if I hang it on the bedroom door, doesn't that mean I can't close the door? I'm sure I'll keep a full size board around for larger items. |
dedtired....hanger hardware used for most of the storage door items fit fairly well and you can open close door. Then again, it depends upon the door, if it is really tight fitting could pose a problem. I haven't ran into a problem with any of my doors. My ironing board is on the back of the furnace closet door, think I bought the hanging unit from target for 15...iron sits on top of it. Daughter has her board out forever, maybe one of those drop downs would be a good holiday gift. It takes up so much room being out, but doesn't seem to bother her. Knowing this, the fold down could be down all the time too. There are some storage units which are screwed into the door rather than hanging. and most doors have enough room when open that using the back isn't an issue. I had shoe storage on the back of mine in another home and always opened/closed fine. |
It aggravates me to set up or take down an ironing board, and we've never had the room to just leave one up. We bought one that hangs over the utility closet door -- easy down, easy up. Got ours at Lowe's, or maybe it was Home Depot. Closet door doesn't shut quite all the way, but close enough. Actually it's getting closer to shutting -- think it must be wearing a slight groove in the door frame. |
This post prompted me to get a fold down for my daughter. I was at Target yesterday for other things, but wandered the aisles and they had a fold down for $17. The thing is "heavy" and larger than I remember, decided to get one for me too. Okay, I tried it. Hangs snug over door and folds down/up easily. If you have a door handle on the same side as board, it needs to be slid over towards the door hinges, but still doesn't pose a problem with closing door. Depends upon how snug your doors are. The board is a tad cushy, sort of gives a bit when ironing on it. I don't think this would be an issue for the daily ironing...will have to see if it works well for my once a month duty. Certainly a good size for most items. You wouldn't want to give up the standard board, as this one couldn't be used for really large flat items. For $17 it is definitely worth the convenience and a try. The only negative is no place for the iron when folded up. Guess you could get an iron holder to hang at top of door too. I would be interested in how it compares with other's in a higher price range. The product is a "Target Brand" but is distributed by Home Products International. |

I iron on the dining room table, on top of a towel. Seems to work fine. |
It definitely sounds like it's worth a try for $17. I'll go over there soon to pick one up. Here's my other quirk. When I iron, the pointy side of the board has to be to my left. So I guess I will have to fine a door that allows me to iron from that direction. My next problem will be where to throw the clothes that I'm too tired to hang up! I'm used to tossing them on the end of the ironing board. The dining room table? I could turn the dining room into an ironing room. I tend to iron on the floor and dressers, on a towel, when I traveling unless a board is supplied. It does work pretty well. |
What a timely topic! I just got my Over-The-Door ironing board holder/iron holder from Amazon this past Friday and Saturday I got busy figuring out which door to hang it on. Just by my washer is a door to another room but it was perfect to hang the Over-The-Door hanger--out of sight for the most part. The hanger is made of some type of heat-proof metal so that I can put the hot iron in it's slot right after ironing instead of leaving it to cool on a table. I actually wanted a wall-mount (screws and plastic anchors) ironing board hanger but then realized with this small house there's not a whole lotta wall room left that isn't already being used for something else. If I had my druthers,since I seem to be always either ironing or sewing something, I'd have a special room with the ironing board (and my sewing machine) set up permanently, always at the ready. But having a small home, that's not feasible. |
Here is a link that might be useful: This is what I got from Amazon dot com

Actually, my ironing board is in the second floor shower, which we found out leaks like a seive. Don't need it often, so visitors can use the downstairs shower until we get the upstairs one secure. We are both retired, so have very little use for the board :-) Carol |
An ironing board in the shower?? That's funny. I still haven't made it to Target, but I will soon. Maybe that's the answer -- retire so I don't have to iron so much. Sigh -- that's five years away. |
dedtired, just an update on the "over the door" ironing board. My daughter tried hers and the problem with this option is the door moves while ironing. It would need to have a door stop to work and even then the board still moves. So....has to be a better way. Maybe too cheap and got what I paid for. |
Perfect Post since a friend was here and was helping me with my laundry room to neaten it up and told me my ironing board behind my door was too low on the wall blocking the central air and the central heat and I need to not be using a tennis racket holder for it but get something more sturdy. In my other place I had it not secured on the wall but leaning on the wall behind the door and when I leaned on the door to get better hold of a big storage box, the ironing board sprang open. It knocked me down. I gave up that night working and thought that was a sign to go to bed. went to bed with the worst headache. I got up in the middle of the night and passed out hitting my head so hard against the floor! I had a concussion and had to get a Cat Scan. My headaches lasted for over 6 months and they were bad headaches. So now I have string tied around the ironing board making it difficult to take on and off as well as having it secured in this racket holder. I need to iron my wrinkled clothes but I hardly ever use it now. It is old, so maybe this is a perfect time to buy a smaller one that closes easier and a better holder for it and then maybe I will iron again. :) I will update everyone. Thank you for this post! |
I'm paying attention to your post, lynn2006, as I also store my board behind a door to my 2nd bedroom/computer room/ironing space. And I'm in the process of getting over a concussion I sustained Thanksgiving Day when I took the turkey out of the bottom of the fridge and smacked the side of my head full-force on the freezer door handle when I stood up. I had a black eye for almost 3 wks plus intermittent nausea and headaches. Don't really need to give myself another blow to the head right now, so I think I'll be finding another spot ASAP. |
Supercat, I am sorry about your concussion. Yes, I forgot about the nausea also. I used to iron a lot before this incident, now I am almost afraid of the ironing board. I need to find a better spot also for the ironing board or to buy myself a small table top kind that does not spring open. Maybe that is why those ironing board holders are good as long as there is no way the ironing board can spring open. |
Holy cow, I was thinking about getting a fold-down for convenience, but have changed my mind, because I just know that would happen to me. Hope you guys are ok. My first response to this was "ironing board?". I only buy clothes I don't have to iron, because I know I won't. Then I remembered, I DO have one. It is in the back of the little closet under my stairs, and I get it out maybe once or twice a year. It's a nice one I got for $5 at a yard sale. I generally only use it when I am sewing, and actually then mostly as table space. If I just HAVE to iron, I usually just get out my rectangular quilting board and put it on the table. Works fine. It's probably more convenient than a fold-down, come to think of it, since I can put it where I want. Dayle Ann |

This is a great subject. Like 'Organic Smallhome' mine is beside the refrigerator and the wall. We made the cubby hole for refrigerator big enough for this purpose. Before it was just leaning up in the spare room. Where it is now I have lots of light as I iron right there in the scullery. I enjoy ironing now because of the environment. Lynn ~ What a horrible thing to have happen to you. Do hope you are feeling much better as each day passes. FlowerLady |

We have a really bizarre triangular linen closet outside the master bedroom. The shelves are not very deep (and therefore mostly useless for putting folded things on them, which is why it seems to hold non-linen items or hubby's shirts that are shoved in awaiting ironing...) but this leaves enough space for one of those wall-mounted ironing board/iron holders from Ikea. Having it there has made the triangular closet much more useful, since we now have enough space for the vacuum on the floor and the ironing board on the wall instead of them both fighting for floor space. |

I'm doing much better now....no more nausea!. I still have to find a permanent place for the board , though. I'm trying to store my clothes better..ie, giving them more space on the closet rack and in the drawers, so they don't wrinkle as much and thus need less ironing. But that presents it's own set of problems in a small house w/limited storage space. |

Wow, I'd kick that cat out of the bedroom in a heartbeat! I have three cats and they all know better than to move around all night.
That's pretty funny. and now that the sun has come up the cat will sleep all day. The cat i have now reaches his arm under the door and fiddles with the door stopper when i lock him out of my room at night.
kitties are so nice…
meow ?
No meow!
I honestly found that hilarious, just watching the cat!
I remember once I heard a *THUMP* and found that my cat fell of her cat tree! XDD HILARIOUS!
(It's like a playhouse with different platforms and stuff, she fell off the highest platform)
Thankfully she landed on my bed! So she didn't get hurt.
Needs moar MEOW.
that cat owns him.
My cat actually allows me to sleep - I feel for you guy!
Stumbleupon is for dumbs…
And you are… a pirate?
at least we know why your here
I'm not a dumb and I use Stumbleupon.
This is so true..i have three of the lil buggers, and they are bright eyed and bushy tailed as soon as i pop into bed. Thanks for sharing, this was hilarious!
awww, that was great!!!
Why not just let the cat out?
Some people prefer their pets not get squished by cars.
Yeah, some people are responsible, who keep their cats inside where they belong.
HOW exactly did you get the idea Cats are supposed to be indoor animals? They are natural predators and are happier when allowed out regularly. I have had a great many cats, all of whom are still alive, or died naturally, may they rest in peace, and every last one has been far the happier for being allowed outside.
In the city, where i live you do NOT want to let your cat outside. people are mean. they run them over on purpose (i lost one cat like that) and once one of my neighbors was found poisoning the cats in the neighborhood. So yes, they do belong out in the wild but here in the city for me my cat stays inside because i do not trust other people.
cats should be able to go outside if they want to. they are happy outside. i have had a cat for 10 years, goes outside every night and he is very happy
yeah, that's what I figured. I had a cat that would do that kind of thing. Also liked to bite me on the eyebrow now and again if I wasn't reacting enough to suit him. Miss that little bastard…
HA! That is PRICELESS…
hahaha, this is pretty much the story of my life
I think that this is the guy that created the wonder ful Simon's cat cartoons.
This video is like the real life version of "Cat Man Do" by Simon's Cat.
A cat must do its job. Annoying humans is what cats do best, even better than take naps.
I thought my cat was bad. Good grief! LOL!!
i gave two of those
i have
c'mon! the guy was just as restless as the cat
I agree. I think the guy has sleep apnea and the cat was just making sure he was alright.
agreed the cat was just helping him stay healthy
I was thinking the same watching this… a lot of the time the guy was waking up while the cat was perfectly still. He obviously has some sort of sleep disorder NOT caused by the cat… the cat probably knows it and is actually trying to help him in its own cute way.
I agree. It looks like this guy is tossing and turning so much. Towards the end, it looks like the cat is checking up on the guy as he probably wants to be fed. I would love a kitty that likes to sleep on me as long as it wasn't a kitty that weighed more than 10 lbs. I had one once who was like that.
Very familiar.
mutual annoyance hehe
i used to hate my cat for doing so!!
every night!!
Did he throw the cat at the end?
maybe the guy (and the cat) were more restless than usual, due to the fact the light had to be left on all night in order to capture the video!!
I think this is actually kind of cute! The cat just wants to spend time with its owner. I wonder if it's that affectionate while he's awake?
dude you have the most annoying cat in the world!. God bless ya you have the patience of a saint! or you sleep like the dead ? either way the vid is too CUTE!
Very amusing to watch. My cat, Fitz, likes to lick me awake at ungodly times in the early morning. Waking up via a small, wet swath of sandpaper insistently stroking against my forearm is incredibly irritating.
ah yup. one of my cats is the same way.
My hubby & I have three cats. NOW we know why we're so tired every morning! LOL Not to mention the 125 lb dog that "sneaks" onto the bed during thunderstorms! HA HA HA
the cat hadnt it own little blanket to lie on. the guy was annoying the cat more, little blanket at bottom of bed and cat wont be hasseled when we move around
It looked to me like the poor cat couldnt rest because the guy was pulling the covers as he tossed and turned.
You know, my cats do this, and it doesn't even phase me. They're all of 9 pounds and very quiet. It's not like my husband, who snores and rolls all over the place. I sleep through that, too.
If you can't handle anything around you when you sleep, don't have cats OR kids. Because they're both there often.
what a tweeker kitty
That's hilarious! Wow, I love cats!! Hey, Johnjacob, I think the guy was restless because the cat was being so annoying. :o)
Awesome!! Too funny! Been there done that!
…And this is one reason our cats are not allowed in the bedroom. (allergies being the other reason)
I have 17 cats and they know not to mess with me. They can't so there. I keep bedroom door closed and them out.
That's a lot of cats!
That guy was tossing and turning way before that cat did anything that could possibly wake him up
It's fast motion! Of course it looks worse than it is! It feels weird to me if my cat DOESN'T sleep with me (or at least is on the bed) every night! That's what they do with each other; it's a huge sign of affection. I wondered the same thing…is it the Simon of the cartoons? My cat sniffs my head until I wake up, then I have to lift up the covers for him to snuggle next to me. LOVE IT…LOVE HIM. Of course, once I have to get up in the AM…ah, NOW kitty has the bed to himself; I leave for work and he's snoozing peacefully. It's all just a part of loving and living with a cat. They are such cool creatures.
This is 'Paranormal Activity: LOLCatz'
My cat used to sleep on my back like that. <3 I actually liked it.
burn this cat
Our cat can be good for awhile, but then she can't help herself and we have to put her in "solitary confinement". We have a litter box in the guest room which is across the house from our room and we shut the door. I need my sleep.
Cats are nocturnal pradators folks. He' got a very playful, bored female. He needs to get this cat a playmate. And then boot them out of the bedroom. My cats do this.sort of thing. They do sleep in the evening - and then chase each other thoughout the house, when I am in deep slumber. I do tend to find them all, sound asleep, on top of me, or all around me, in the AM. I am a great big Warm Pillow to them
I`d drop-kick that little cat
A cat's instinct is to hunt by night and sleep during the day. If you want them to sleep at night you have to keep them busy during the day.
I live on a farm and my cat is a working cat. Too many mice near the house and I get a Copperhead infestation. Lucille has her own door. She usually leaves around 9 pm and returns at 3 to 4 am. I've had to joy of waking up at 2 am as my Jack Russell, Claire, flew off the bed to chase the flying squirrel Lucille had brought in as a special present. Utter chaos ensued as dog chased squirrel over, under and around the bed while Lucille sat calmly in the doorway to block the exit. Cats are simply amazing predators. She caught this elusive nocturnal critter while encumbered with not one but two bird bells!
As some have commented, it was the guy who was rolling around for most of the night–the cat hardly touched him until almost 6:00. I suspect that it was normally fed around that time and when the lazy slug wouldn't get up, it then tried to get in his face. The poor thing was probably just hungry.
the poor thing? What are you talking about? you have clearly never owned a cat or slept with another person. Humans wake up numerous times throughout the night as they go through the sleep cycle. Cats are even more restless. They nap, they don't sleep for long periods of time like humans. around 6 am they start waking up and wanting to play or cuddle or eat. I let my cats sleep with me, but around 3 am I have to kick them out or they'll start biting my feet and knocking my glasses and phone off the night stand.
Well that cat was obviously the inspiration for Simon's cat - or had been watching it perhaps. It's the bloke's fault though, he should have kept still and stopped disturbing the cat!
We have 5 …
That was great. The cat obviously loves the guy.
Yup. Lucky guy.
The cat was active but did not really bug him til about five. SHE WAS HUNGRY!
too funny..my salem sleeps on top of my back keeps me warm but when he starts kneeding in the middle of the night thats when i draw the line lol..
I'm wondering what that quick little flash was in the middle of the video just a little before 5:43. I don't have the ability to look at it frame by frame, and I know it has nothing to do with the video, but I'd love to know what it was.
I just rapidly paused and caught a glimpse of it. It's just a clip from later in the morning that I am assuming is misplaced. It's timed 8:07 if you cared.
It just wants out. It's a nocturnal animal.
Boy it looks like the kinda nites I have except add 3 more on top of that. It does get annoying though.
I believe the guy was the one who was annoying the cat, not the other way around.
Actually. Vulpini, that is my interpretation as well. If the guy would at least be able to lie still for a while, that poor cat could finally get some sleep ..
Aww… Kitty just wants some lovin.
Now you know why they sleep all day long…LOL
My cats do that. It means they're hungry and want you to feed them. You'll notice even when the cat isn't there he tosses and turns. He bothers the cat as much as the cat bothers him.
Did anyone else notice that he was still thrashing even when the cat was laying still?
lol, i love it when it just sits right on his back like "neerly moarning…yoo get up noaw?"
Looks more like the guy is keeping the CAT awake! Flip, flip, flip! You can see that the cat is trying to calm him, even attempting to massage his neck a couple of times! Can't a kitty get a good nights sleep?? Hee hee!
I think he is lonely and needs someone to play with
Just like my little brat. lol
funny, I thought he is bugging the cat. he moves soo much and that cat is trying to sleep.
Yeah, the whole first half of the video is the guy tossing all over the place and the cat is trying to sleep.
I'm going to second a previous comment that the owner has sleep apnea, and the cat wanted to make sure he was alright.
my kitty does that tooooooo!!!!
I had a cat that would wake me up by sitting directly in front of my face and making the most annoying, yowling, high pitched scream like meow (that literally would last for about a minute) his name was squeek as in the sqeeky wheel gets the grease squeek. I would get up and feed him and he would leave me alone….*owned*
cats like to be outside, they can do anything they want. They usually don't sleep at night, so you should leave him
I have two fat boy cats, but I sleep with my door locked. Cooper is a good sleeper but won't give up the pillow. Brownie curls up under the covers next to me; but every 2 hours he sticks his cold nose into my ear, purring and drooling as loud as he can. He is also a very talented door opener, so I lock it. He's out, too. I do love the little fat things even if they think I'm a 'meanie-butt.'
haha! My cat is like this too she always goes between annoying my boyfriend and I then my son who is a toddler. She often tries to snuggle him then startles him awake and scares him! Then sometimes she jumps on us.
should be retitled "man disrupts sleeping cat, time for revenge"

.On This PageSUMMARY Each Windows-based computer maintains a machine account
password history containing the current and previous passwords used for the
account. When two computers attempt to authenticate with each other and a
change to the current password is not yet received, Windows then relies on the
previous password. If the sequence of password changes exceeds two changes, the
computers involved may be unable to communicate, and you may receive error
messages (for example, "Access Denied" error messages when Active Directory
replication occurs). This behavior is also applicable to replication between domain controllers of the same domain. If the domain controllers that are not replicating reside in two different domains, you should inspect the trust relationship more closely. You cannot change the machine account password using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, but you can reset the password using the Netdom.exe tool included in the Windows Support Tools. The Netdom tool resets the account password on the computer locally (known as a "local secret") and writes this change to the computer's computer account object on a Windows domain controller that resides in the same domain. Simultaneously writing the new password to both places ensures that at least the two computers involved in the operation are synchronized, and starts Active Directory replication so that other domain controllers receive the change. The following procedure describes how to use the netdom command to reset a machine account password. This procedure is most commonly used on domain controllers, but also applies to any Windows machine account. Because you cannot use Netdom remotely, you must run the tool from the Windows-based computer whose password you want to change. In addition, you must have administrative permissions locally and on the computer account's object in Active Directory to run Netdom. Using Netdom to Reset a Machine Account Password
