Samsung S3550 Shark 3 - a compact slider, which as the name suggests, has the shortest specs sheet of the lot. A 2" QVGA screen and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE is as good as it gets for the Shark 3.
There is also a fixed focus camera on board with a maximum resolution of 2 megapixels. The final noteworthy features of the Samsung S3550 Shark 3 are Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0 and a microSD card slot.

"A modern career woman with her full life and her natural born urge for style…"
It sounds like Saskia Kruis describing a true grit girl when giving her explanation of the target customer for the brand Sophie#1234567+. This new, up and coming brand showed their first collection as recently as for the season of fall 2011/2012
With a great self-confidence in the design process, Sophie tries to fill the gap between daily work wear and party starting evening elegance. You should be able to be stylish, comfortable and leave work to hit your favourite night spot directly without having to go home and change in between. Isn't that simply the best!
And you grit girl, don't miss out that it's fathers day on Sunday.
Things that make a difference
Maybe you are aware of the heritage of Nitty Gritty, or maybe you are not? The whole thing started back in the early 90's with three guys who actually where more into northern soul music than fashion. But they still felt an urge to create a platform in Stockholm for different kinds of sub cultural phenomena's whether it was driven out of music, fashion, sports or whatever that they felt interesting for the moment. This is probably why we have taken quite a few different directions throughout the years, but still maintained our backbone of inspiration and development in the sub cultural sphere. We have always admired people that come from different backgrounds and makes their own things and are dedicated to their beliefs and that "goes all in".
G-Shock X Kevin Lyons
G-Shock X Kevin Lyons Multi talented street artist Kevin Lyons has teamed up with Casio to design a limited number of their model GB5600B-K8. We are proud to be one out of very few selected retailers who can offer this unique timepiece. Included within the model's Bluetooth capabilities are music control, time sync, incoming call alert, incoming email alert, incoming social media alert, phone finder, and out-of-range warning. The model was also designed with a tap-function that allows the wearer to double-tap the watch screen in order to silence the alarm/vibration alert.
Time for traditions
We always go on about how much we appreciate brands that know how to keep hold of their history and at the same time keep an eye on the horizon and into the future. That keeps them relevant, up to date and probably also in business for another hundred year or so. Christmas is similar, it's the time when you value traditions and evaluate the year that has gone by and at the same time look into the hopefully bright future. You make new plans and promises both to yourselves and to your beloved.
Nitty Gritty Music - Store Hours
For the second edition of N.G.M Store Hours we are happy to invite the very talented duo and friends of Nitty Gritty, Människobyn. Starting at 12.00 this Saturday, they will set the mood in the Men's store with a 4 hour, all-vinyl set.

Le Mackintosh…
We had a French customer in the store the other day. He was in search for a coat and asked about what brands we had to offer him in this particular category. A member of the Nitty Gritty Crew started to show him some A.P.C coats, familiar to monsieur of course. Then further on to Aspesi, Barena and Harris Wharf – all Italians, hm, well yeah, some of them "heard of" even by Mr Paris.
The Bench - Marie Paulsson
Marie has a great sense of style and attention to detail, a sharp yet effortlessly cool look.
Nike x Pedro Lourenço
Showcasing the latest performance innovation with couture craftsmanship, the Nike x Pedro Lourenco Collection reinvents classic women's training styles through new cuts, shapes, and details.
Exclusive but not to exclude…
Among the things that we value most in our daily work are the relations with our highly appreciated suppliers. Without our strong brands there wouldn't be a strong mix of brands, and we often receive comments about how strong our mix of brands is.
The Bench - Rob
Rob from Manchester was in Stockholm to visit friends. We discussed the role of independent shops and the importance of buying quality over quantity. He used to love the range of shops in Manchester and what they offered but felt that it has declined in recent years with only a few still up to standard.
The Bench - Mattia Crepaldi
Mattia works at Aspesi and was in Stockholm for the first time last week to visit his clients, and of course Nitty Gritty

If Nanamica is going for inspirational search out seas, Preen went even further this season. Space.

Our two stores are located together with the Our Legacy store, the Uniform for the dedicated store, DOM Hairdressing salon and the lovely little book- and magazine store Papercut.

Who Wore Head-to-Toe Oxblood Better: Alexa Chung or Rose Byrne?
You guys, today's "Who Wore It Better?" is a doozy. Back in October, the ever-stylish Alexa Chung attended Versace's Soho store opening in NYC dressed in a turtleneck-and-leather-skirt combo in fashion's color of the moment, oxblood (or whatever you choose to call the hot hue). From the mini's cute zipper detail to Alexa's matching ponyhair purse, we loved the whole look.
Then, earlier this week, Rose Byrne—who, just like Alexa, made our list of 2012's best-dressed stars—showed up at the Sydney premiere of I Give It A Year in a strikingly similar ensemble. Sure, she went for a dress, not separates—but her Jill Stuart's leather skirt and silky bodice certainly make it seem like a two-piece deal. Heck, even the two ladies' poses are identical!
So in the battle of oxblood vs. oxblood—which hopefully won't result in actual bloodshed—which comes out on top? Alexa's long sleeves and matching carryall or Rose's sleeveless sheath? Let us know—and click through to shop both celebs' merlot-toned looks.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 12:34 p.m.) The first week under a new tomato suspension agreement began calmly, with Mexican volumes low enough to keep prices above new market floors.
The U.S. Department of Commerce made the new agreement — approved by Mexican growers representing 85% of exports to the U.S. — official on March 4, a little over a month after the department proposed increases to floor prices on Mexican tomatoes.
Spurred by the Florida tomato industry's allegations about Mexico dumping product below production cost, the agreement sets floor prices for Mexican tomatoes during the summer and winter, with four price levels covering open field/adapted environment, controlled environment production, and loose and packed specialty tomatoes.
For some products, the floor price more than doubled.
Two days after the agreement became official, market conditions trumped the new price minimums, said Jesse Driskill, operations manager in the Nogales, Ariz., office of Meyer LLC.
"Most of the markets are above the floor prices," Driskill said. "Markets have strengthened a little bit."
A cold winter in Mexico has kept the lid on volumes, and Driskill doesn't see a surge in production anytime soon.
On March 6, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $11.95-13 for two-layer cartons of vine-ripened tomatoes 5x6 from Mexico, up from $8.95-12.95 last year at the same time.
For Nogales-based Farmer's Best, it was also business as usual as of March 6, said Jerry Wagner, the company's director of sales and marketing.
"We have a new floor price and wish it had been a little closer to reality, and been lower than what was instituted, but we will continue to abide by it."
Farmer's Best plans to increase tomato acreage in Mexico for the upcoming season to meet consumer demand, Wagner said.
"As always, we're very appreciative of the continued support we receive from our customers here in the U.S."
Driskill is critical of terms of the agreement.
"I'm not happy with it at all," he said. "Florida has done a masterful job of taking advantage of current laws and regulations and bending them to their benefit."
Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Maitland-based Florida Tomato Exchange, was pleased that the Mexican government signed on to the agreement, and that enforcement was boosted by a new role for the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Driskill also praised the new PACA role, calling it the "one shining star of the agreement." The new role will ensure, Driskill and Brown said, that shippers on both sides of the border are playing by the same set of rules.
But the agreement is far from perfect, Brown said.
"We still have concerns that (the new floor prices) don't reflect the price of production," he said.
Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Nogales-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, is concerned about a scenario in which Florida shippers can sell tomatoes below the Mexican floor prices, effectively shutting shippers south of the border out of the deal.
On the other hand, Jungmeyer said the Mexican industry is happy that the agreement ensures shipments from Mexico can continue, and that anti-dumping investigations won't.
"If the agreement fell apart we would've seen a far worse scenario," he said. "We got the best of the worst. A lot of distributors are very unhappy with the prices."
Tommy Wilkins, director of produce procurement for Lubbock, Texas-based retailer United Supermarkets LLC, said the agreement is a mixed bag for retailers.
"I feel the floor pricing is very high, but happy to have an agreement," Wilkins said. "We need Mexican tomatoes for our (consumers) at certain times of the year. I believe this stabilizes the supply of tomatoes available."
Paul Kneeland, vice president of produce, floral and seafood for Parsippany, N.J.-based Kings Food Markets, said Kings won't be as affected as some other retailers, becase it tends to sell high-end product at premium prices.
But the affect on the retail grocery industry as a whole will definitely be felt.
"We know that (consumers) buy less in a short market with higher prices," he said. "It will affect our margins in store. Obviously retail will have to pass on the cost to the consumer, but how much can be passed will depend on retail ceilings."
A Commerce Department official said the final agreement had no significant differences from the agreement proposed in February. More than 600 Mexican growers and exporters signed the agreement, up from 450 growers/exporters who signed a 2008 agreement, the official said.
The original 1996 suspension agreement was updated in 2002 and 2008.
New floor prices
The previous floor prices for all Mexican tomatoes — whether grown in fields, greenhouses or shadehouses — was 21.69 cents per pound in the winter and 17.2 cents per pound in the summer.
The agreement sets new prices:
- Open-field and "adapted-environment" tomatoes are 31 cents per pound in the winter and 24.58 cents per pound in the summer.
- Controlled-environment tomatoes are 41 cents per pound in the winter and 32.51 cents per pound in the summer.
- Loose specialty tomatoes are 45 cents per pound in the winter and 35.68 cents per pound in the summer.
- Packed specialty tomatoes have minimum prices of 59 cents per pound in the winter and 46.79 cents per pound in the summer.
Web seminar on agreement scheduled
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service and the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration will host a web seminar on the new tomato suspension agreement.
Slated for 2 p.m. EDT March 14, the seminar features presentations by Judith Rudman, the trade administration's director for bilateral agreements; and Brian Wright, assistant regional director for AMS's PACA division.
The seminar will cover topics including the history of suspension agreements, USDA reporting on tomatoes, dispute resolution and unfair trade enforcement.

Has anyone any info about this plant? I obtained it from a nursery in the UK specialising in rare plants. Healthy specimen, no flowers at the moment, Nurseryman insists that this a Dahlia, but to me, foliage resembles Bidens or Cosmos. No tubers, just a huge brown ...don't know what to call it...swollen hard thing, with small roots extending. Thanks........Robin. |
Follow-Up Postings:
From Dr. Saar's website called wild dahlias: Dahlias are plants of the uplands and mountains, most frequently at elevations between 1,500 and 3,700 m (4,900-12,100'), where frost usually occurs during the winter months but the ground does not freeze. They frequently grow in a vegetation zone described by Leopold (1950) as a "pine-oak woodland," where open, scattered stands may be dominated by pines in some places and oaks in others. These woodlands are usually situated between the oak scrub and high pine forests, and Arbutus is a frequent associate. In a few instances, Dahlias such as D. tenuicaulis occur in a zone of Pinus and Abies at elevations near 3,000 m (9,800'). The habitat for D. macdougallii is a cloud forest of epiphyte-covered tropical hardwoods in southern Mexico south of the 18th parallel. On a collecting trip in 1995, D. foeniculifolia was observed growing along road cuts through oaks and mimosoid scrub at elevations as low as 950 m (2,800') (Saar, 1999 |
HI Dahlia foeniculifolia Sherff, American journal of Botany 38:70. 1951 This is in the section Entemophyllon which includes dissecta, scapigerioides, rupicola, and linearis. Most of these have long lived stems giving them a similar appearance to the "Caudiciform" xerophytes of South Africa and Madagascar. Cultivation is similar also in that they need Summer moisture and a dry rest over Winter. Not frost hardy and so far difficult to root from cuttings. |

With some advice and time to fiddle, if isk doesn't bother you and you want the ultimate Worm, this is a tight unit
Rigs only make it better as it's unrigged here atm. Fitting a cap control 1 makes it fully cap stable (booster off) with void charges and lifts the shiled booster by a few seconds, you get a 99dps tank for 41secs on my stats. Edited, build modified, reinforced tank dropped 5 dps to 94dps, raised the damage dealt by fitting with dread guristas charges and ballistic ctrl, gallente navy mag stab, it raised the dps from 128 to 139dps on my skills atm, still mostly level 4, this also gives an overall hp jump of 300 points over my other build, cap stable without the booster, 41 sec booster on. |
That's one very expensive invulns and the damage mods haven't been found afaik
drop that invul for a webber, or youll kick your self when you lose a target because you didn't fit one. also hardeners use too much CPU on a frigate imo.
then you can drop the lows fit T2 Magstab, BCS and DCU maybe?
unfortunatly the speed nerf hasn't hit yet
also you should really have a 24k scram for solo to snag the targets.

Our CPA friend Lars and his rich Uncle Nils are having one of their regular dinners at the oddly named restaurant Guy. Nils has heard that the State of Washington's legislature, desperate for funds, is talking about doubling the already-high estate tax rate for its residents. He's thinking about moving.
Nils has been on the internet and describes some of his findings to Lars. A minority of states impose an estate tax. Washington's tax starts at 10% on estates over $2 million, and goes up to 19% for larger amounts. It's one of the highest in the nation.
Nils knows a couple of guys who have already declared other states their home now. Some states are better than others. California has an income tax that significantly undermines the benefit of moving, unless one manages to do it just before one dies. Nevada is better, with neither an income tax nor an estate tax, but few people seem to be talking about moving there.
Moving to California wouldn't be so radical for Nils as it sounds. He already has a house there. He would just need to change a bunch of things like car and voter registrations and Lutheran church memberships, and spend a little more time there than he already does.
Even Nils recognizes that the time is probably not right for some of his cronies to become Californians. They are leaving their estates to their wives. This means that the estate tax can be deferred until both of them have died. The probability that both will die soon is small, so it's premature for them to start paying California income tax. And for all we know the laws of both California and Washington will change before long.
Nils doesn't have quite the same luxury as his friends. He's leaving a significant gift to Sylvia in his Living Trust, but the gifts to other relatives will be large also. So he doesn't have the benefit of a joint life expectancy, to make the state estate tax issue seem remote.

If you are old enough to remember these cartoons then you will appreciate just how vintage they are! ;0)
These short animated films are from the 1930′s and 40′s and are amazingly in the public domain. That means you can use these cartoons in your projects without restraint.
- Santa's Surprise- Five children from around the world follow Santa home on Christmas Eve, and decide to give him some extra help around the workshop.
- Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer- The music on this piece is great!
- Jack Frost – This one is not specifically about Christmas. Jack Frost arrives in the forest, painting the leaves on the trees, pumpkins and anything else and warning the animals to prepare for the winter.
- Snow Foolin'- There isn't much of a plot in this film but the fun sing-a-long to "Jingle Bells" is engaging.
- The Star of Bethlehem- Though the film takes some artistic liberties with the Biblical text, this is a wonderfully made film. It could spark an interest in the story of Christmas.

Snickers Candy Bar Christmas Ornaments

Snickers were first introduced in 1930 by Mars, Inc. The candy bars were named after a horse belonging to the Mars family.

A personalized candy bar ornament is a great gift for the chocoholic on your Christmas list or the person who just can't get enough of the gooey caramel and crunchy peanut taste of these candy bars.

For a franchise known for pushing boundaries, The Hangover Part III isn't nearly outrageous enough. In his wild 2009 original, Todd Phillips goosed the stale men-behaving-badly formula, giving it a rude, hard-R twist. But his Bangkok-set 2011 follow-up felt like a road trip on cruise control. I don't know why, but I came to the latest (and final) chapter with bullish optimism. It seemed like a perfect chance for a course correction, tapping back into the first film's whacked-out Wolfpack spirit. Oh, well.
Hangover III is Alan's story. Played again by the manic potbellied elf Zach Galifianakis, Alan has decided to go off his meds, which results in some bad decisions (even for him), including a joyride with an ill-fated giraffe. An intervention is staged, and it's up to Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms, whose Maori face tattoo has been lasered off), and Doug (Justin Bartha, quickly sidelined again) to take him to rehab in Arizona. During a pit stop in Vegas, they hook up with some familiar faces: Mike Epps' Black Doug, Heather Graham's Jade, Ken Jeong's Mr. Chow. They're also introduced to Marshall (John Goodman), an ascot-wearing heavy who forces the boys to track down Chow and recover $21 million in gold bars that the cocaine-fueled imp has stolen. Mild mayhem ensues.
Part caper, part coming-of-adulthood story, Hangover III never settles into a debauched groove. As a Sin City romp, it's too tame. And as a ''very special'' ode to Alan's journey to responsibility, it's a miscalculation of what fans want from a series featuring a smoking monkey. That said, you should stick around for the end credits because there's a Helms sight gag that's absolutely priceless. The movie could've used more laughs like that one. B-

Out with the old {WoW}
Aug 5th 2009 1:23PM I completely agree.
Having class-specific quests and rewards was an awesome thing, and something that could be continued nowadays. Too bad Blizzard does not want it so, but well... I guess this is just up for personal preference.
It may be fun to tune up those quests to lvl80, along with the specific fights, and add some achievement. I'm sure people would do it even if they purchased their mount from the trainer on 60 (will be 40... soon surely coming to be 20... etcetc.) Also, famous epic items that required a quest chain, such as Quel'serrar and the hunter bow could be upgraded to 80, along with the kills they needed. (We need more decent looking gear, not made up of vyrkul or undead body parts for a change, anyway. ;) )
The opposite of Heroics {WoW}
Jun 12th 2009 9:42AM I think it is a good idea. Most people nowadays do not have the chance to run the instances at their own level - it is very nearly impossible to get groups for anything below 70+ content. Either a heroic mode for old instances or a gear to nerf high level players to the appropriate level would be a lot of fun. It would also probably give a chance to new players (or alts) to experience that content. I am not sure how big a change it would be, but definitely smaller than putting in whole new content. The rewards wouldn't have to be items, just some special tokens, money, or something suchlike. Sounds like a small feature, and would mean a big value add for people who actually play for the atmosphere of the game instead of just loot/progress/huge crits. ;)
Btw, 25men hogger for president...! :))
Upcoming mount changes {WoW}
Jun 11th 2009 3:04AM Come on, this is ridiculous! Why not give everything at lvl1 for free?
Seriously, Blizz should make the lowbie content more appealing (especially instances), instead of making people just run through it much more easily. They are created a nice and challenging game full of great zones, quests, and stories, and now they are pissing on it in a so-not-creative, let-the-noobs-have-it-easy way. Vanilla and TBC content has been irrelevant for a lot of players ever since wrath is out, and now they are becoming irrelevant for Blizz too. Not cool.
Not to mention that a mount used to be sort of a reward or achievement. (Not having 200 mounts, but having your first. Anyone recalls the feeling...?) Back in the days... I'm prolly just getting too old for this. ;) However, imo, this approach from Blizz to their own game just sucks.

I have had Codling Moth trips with lures and Apple Maggot Trip out for about 2 weeks. I have no Codling Moth in my traps and from what I can tell no Apple Maggots on the sticky Apple traps. I am located in the central Virginia. Does anyone know when I will start seeing these pest? I have 2 apple a 2 pear trees. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Randy: I don't know when your codling moth will begin to show up, but with temperatures finally rising in this unusually cool month of May, it can't be long. How old are your apple trees? Do they have a heavy fruit set this spring? Are you spraying your trees at all? The most common early problem on apples in Virginia is the plum curculio, which seems to die out around the end of May, but can do plenty of damage before that. Then along comes codling moth, and a little later the apple maggot fly should arrive if it is present in your area. If I did not do several early sprays and subsequently bag most of my apples in ziploc sandwich bags, I am sure I would see some codling moth damage, but maggot has never been a problem for me even on unbagged apples. I install hundreds of ziplocs on my apples every year just after thinning to one apple per cluster, and stop spraying after that since the apples are protected. With only two trees, it would be easy for you to bag your apples and produce some really high-quality perfect fruit with no spraying after bag installation. You would spend a lot less money on a couple packs of sandwich bags than on those traps, which I have not found to be of much use. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |

Jellyman I have 4 year old semi-dwarf Stark bros trees a combo red/golden delicious and a Winesap. This is my first year spraying after I got Fire Blight last year. I did a Dormant and delayed Dormant spray with all season horticultural oil. Two FB spray with Ferti-lome Agrimvcin FB Spray from bloom to petal fall. First and second cover with Bonide fruit tree spray. I want to wait until I started seeing codling moth and apple maggot in the traps before I sprayed again. I am a newbie and love all the help that the forum provides… Thanks to all!!!! Randy in Central VA.. |

What color scrubs would you wear for an interview - page 2
I've done a search on AN already but didn't get a clear answer. I'm interviewing for a mother/baby position this week and have to wear scrubs to the interview. Following the interview is share time. ... Read More
0Feb 28, '13 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorFor the interview, I vote for solid, darker colored scrubs: your purple or teal sound nice as long as those colors aren't too electric. Otherwise, brown, royal blue or navy blue (my preference) are good choices. Don't sweat the white shoes: they're actually pretty common to see on the floor. Just make sure they are as clean as possible. Best of luck!
1Feb 28, '13 by Nurse_, BSN, RNIf you must wear scrubs, wear scrubs that is ironed and clean. It's not much about the color but more about how you project yourself in scrubs.texasmum likes this.
2Feb 28, '13 by dashingdivaProbably go with the neutral solid colors or any color that has cool-dark undertones (navy blue, forest green, dark magenta, etc.)- that way the interviewer will not have headaches or a whiplash from the warm/bright colors. Your can stand out from your 'scrub' if it's about 2 shades darker/lighter than your complexion. Easier for the interviewer to focus their sights on your face and remember you! (this is the designer side of me talking, BTW. LOL)
0Feb 28, '13 by prnqday, BSN, RNQuote from chibiRNThanks !! It really does work tried it tonightOdd but if you must wear scrubs, I would probably go with solid navy blue with white shoes. I use either peri cleaner or acetone and some cotton balls toclean mine and they come out very clean =) hope that helps
3Mar 1, '13 by woohUnless you're interviewing for a creative position, don't be memorable for what you're wearing. I'd go with the navy you have if you have some that look almost new. And don't wear new shoes unless you've WORN them. You don't want to be trying to make a good impression while your feet are hurting.
0Mar 1, '13 by multi10OP, When you are with your friends and/or family, during the day, is there a color that you wear that inspires them to say, "You look really good in that color!" ? If so, I would wear that color scrub to the interview.
There is a book called "Color Me Beautiful" that demonstrates how the colors we wear, especially those close to the face, can make us look younger or older, healthier or less-healthy, etc.
I scoffed at the idea at the time but a recruiter friend in San Diego suggested that I try it prior to a spate of interviews. I now believe in it. Don't buy the book (I think it may be out of print) but the theories are available if you look it up on Google. -
0Mar 1, '13 by ♪♫ in my ♥Another vote for navy blue.
It's understated and unremarkable - which is what you want. -
0Mar 1, '13 by Inorinormally interviews are suits BUT since they made a special request you wear scrubs so scrubs it is. I'd wear white on white because that is the color that most people associate with nurses and you are seen as the "nurse" because you wear white more than anything.
Make sure its clean, if not too clean go buy a new set just for interview. Iron it and make sure the creases are crispy where it needs to be. Neat hair, lite make up, clean nails, white nursing shoes, clean polish it and if too old get new pair. Bring all nursing stuff you need as if you'd be working on day 1.
Some stuff I always have in my pockets are: stetoscrope, scissors, pen light, 2 black pen, 1 red pen, 1 sharpie and 1 dry erase marker and small note book. 2 pairs of globes, alcohol wipe. Heh you probably dont need all of it but it does show you're prepared for anything if there was a need and you had it. -
0Mar 2, '13 by MrChicagoRNWear the colors that make you look and feel your best.
But if this hospital is one that color codes by job and discipline, then you want to avoid any colors that give the impression that you are anything other than a nurse

Shooting at marijuana grow house leaves 1 dead, 1 critically hurt
King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West said a woman called 911 just before 3 a.m. to report the shooting.
Deputies found one person dead inside the home in 3000 block of South 146th Street, and another person who had been shot was taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
West said the two attackers got away. No description was immediately available, but West said they believe the victims knew the attacker and it wasn't a random crime.
About 50 marijuana plants were inside the house, and West said detectives are trying to determine if the shooting happened during a robbery attempt.
"That's what a lot of people think because of the marijuana grow but that doesn't mean that's the case," West said.
The name of the person who was killed has not been released.

Here is probably a stupid question for those of you who have done this before, but I am installing a couple of 20Amp dedicated NEMA 5-20 outlets about 2 feet directly below my electrical panel in the garage. I will be using ROMEX 12-2 wire.
My question is, do I have to secure the ROMEX anywhere in between the panel and the outlet box? I know I have to use a cable clamp where the wires run out of the panel, but is that all that is required? Can I just have the wire go directly into the box and then onto screws of my outlet without further tie-down? Another stupid question I have is about the cable clamp at the panel. Everything I've read says to have the clamp screw be OUTSIDE the panel. I can't do that because the panel is mounted inside wall. Is it ok to screw the clamp into the hole from the inside of the panel and also have the clamp screw to clamp the cable on the inside of the panel? Sorry if this sounds stupid... but I'm a newbie to this and I figured a two foot run from the panel is a DIY job even for me. |

Garage requires GFCI protected outlets. You can put the clamp with fasteners inside, better yet just attach the clamp to the cable first and fish the romex into the panel with the clamp already on it, then just put the lock ring on. For me with all kinds of materials already available, I would use a plastic clamp that can be installed after the romex is already in the box, cable pulls through it and it snaps into the box. Since this is a finished wall, no additional straps, staples, support, etc are needed. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 19:55
They make plastic NM bushings that are designed to be snapped into the hole from the inside of the panel/box. |
Cable is supposed to fastened within 12" of a receptacle box. One staple will be required unless the cable is feeding through a stud which counts as fastening. |
"Cable is supposed to fastened within 12" of a receptacle box." This does not apply to cables fished behind surfaces. If you use an old work box with drywall clamps the only hole in the drywall needed is to mount the box. Cut the hole, fish the cable with the connector for the panel already attached into the panel. Install the lock nut in the panel, then feed the cable into the box device box. Fasten the box to the drywall and tighten the internal clamp on the cable. You can even use a regular cable clamp by placing it on the cable if you have box fill issues with the internal cable clamp (same trick as the panel). |
Are the garage walls finished? - e.g. drywall. If so, you get an exemption from the stapling requirement if you are fishing the line behind a finished surface. If the wall is open, spring for the whole 3 cent staple. |
- Posted by junkmailhold (My Page) on Fri, Feb 12, 10 at 11:43
Thanks for all the tips. Yes, my garage walls are finished. If they weren't and there was no drywall, this would be a no-brainer job. One other question I have is about fastening the cable at the box. I will be using an Old Work box to attach to the drywall. Is there a clamp in/on that box for clamping the Romex? I thought the romex just runs into the box via a hole and then screws onto the outlet? |
- Posted by spencer_electrician (My Page) on Fri, Feb 12, 10 at 12:02
The plastic/ fiberglass boxes have their own clamp and nothing else is needed. Make sure your outlet is a GFCI outlet. |
"The plastic/ fiberglass boxes have their own clamp and nothing else is needed." The "clamp" is the little tab in the cable entry hole. |
What will these outlets be used for? Hey Spencer, I like the idea of putting the clamp on the wire and then pulling it through, I try to think out of the box but I never thought of that. |
- Posted by junkmailhold (My Page) on Sat, Feb 13, 10 at 11:29
Yeah, I like the idea of putting the clamp on the wire first as well. I never though of that!! These outlets will be used for yard equipment... i.e. Electric Mower, Electric Blower, Electric Weed Whacker, etc. Whenever I have a couple of them going (I get help to do my yardwork!) and then someone clicks the garage opener, my circuit breaker trips. So I thought I'd install some dedicated circuits. Yes, I know to install GFCIs. Does this sound ok? |

Hi all,
Well, just as I feared, we're having a second boy. Even though my cynical nature expected it, it was still a slap in the face to find out for sure at the U/S yesterday. This morning my eyes are burning from crying myself to sleep (I slept in the guest room). I guess I just need to vent a little. I know these feelings will get less intense with time, but I feel that the void of never having a DD will always haunt me... when does it stop? I hesitated for a long while before deciding to have a second child and finally decided to go ahead with the project as I felt somewhat "incomplete". I am very thankful for getting pg on the first cycle and for the U/S yesterday being very reassuring health-wise, but since it's another boy, I just don't get that feeling of closure/completion I thought I'd have. Maybe when DS2 is born? I sure do hope so, because right now my excitement about this pgcy has gone down quite a bit. I know this sounds terrible, but I feel like this baby is just a consolation prize, "just another boy".... Part of me wishes we'd only found out at birth so I could have had four more months of truly enjoying this pgcy with the glimmer of hope it may be a girl, kwim? Because I know for sure I will adore this baby once they put him in my arms, but right now, he feels like an imposter in my belly.
What are the stages in a grieving process? Because I don't want to repress these feelings, but I don't want to wallow in them forever either.
Also, I'm in Canada. I am maybe considering HT for a 3rd (will not go for a 3rd unless it's HT). I don't want the IVF though and all the meds and ups and downs that go with it. I could deal with artificial insemination though. Is that what Microsort is? Is it possible to have Microsort done for family balancing or does it need to be for a genetic gender issue? I know nothing about HT. Any insight would help.
Thanks for reading gals - this forum is a soft place to land when you feel like you are being robbed of your dreams....

(Ayden) May 22, 2010 (Ayvah) June 4, 2012 Thank you God for answering my prayers :) and a big thank you to everyone on IG for your advice and support throughout my ttc girl journey, best wishes to you all!
Link to my sway:
Thanks Jess. I feel like I'm swimming between all those stages of grieving right now. I'm seeing my therapist tomorrow so I'm hoping she'll have some support or advice for me. I know she won't judge because it's her job, but I certainly don't feel comfortable telling anyone else about my feelings, apart from DH and my parents of course. It's like I'm too proud to admit it and also, it's taboo because I know a few people who sadly can't have kids at all (or more kids) and would love to be in my place. I will also look into hypnotherapy for acceptance. One thing is for sure: this will not lower my shrink bill.
Also, not sure if it's "healthy", but I actually made a list of people I know (friends, relatives, and even celebrities) who have all boys. I guess that misery loves company and actually, a lot of those people seem ok with having one or more boys only. I have over 30 women on my list.
So Mexico is the only place for Microsort then? Have you researched it enough to look into particular places, cost, success rates, waiting lists? The only thing I heard was that it was cheaper in Mexico, but if the success rate is low, not sure I even want to try...would be heartbreaking again.
When is your U/S where you find out gender? Should be soon since you're due in June! I had mine at 20w4d yesterday. We were away on vacation last week so I'm glad in only found out after as it would sort of "ruined" my vacay...
GD is just a beast for me right now and it really bites.

hugs photo, i just left you a reply on imps thread. if you are intrested in mexico i can give you a number if you want.
but i also wanted to tell you how lucky you are. two boys was my dream family. while im finally getting a son after 7 girls and 3 miscarriages of unknown gender. i sometimes feel sad he won't have a brother to play with. everyone wants to give dd a sister but nobody ever wants to give ds a brother. i think you might change your mind after ds 2 gets a little bigger and you can watch them play together. trust me your heart will melt. it really helped me watching my girls bond. sometimes i feel so bad for this baby. his sisters wil run off and play barbies and he will be left alone with only mom or dad for company. im jealous of you and im sure after the hormones kinda chill out you will be happy. i bet big brother is super excited to have a baby brother to play with. good job mama

Im sorry you didnt hear the gender you were hoping for, and although I have one of each I was quite dissapointed when we found out my newborn was a boy.
I just wanted to pop in and say that your feelings are normal, and I felt the exact same way as you when we found out. I felt like I had an entire pregnancy of waiting until he was born to finally love him because I knew when I saw him I would want him, but for me not being able to see him made it hard to connect while I was pregnant.
From what you have said I have no doubt you will fall head over heels for your little man when he is born. I know I did (which I didnt expect - I had one of those "love at first sight" moments with him. I didnt have that with DD) But just for the moment maybe just sit with your feelings and let yourself feel the way you do. I dont think it will last long. x

I'm sorry. I know it stinks to come to grips with never having a daughter. And to let go of your dream family. It does get so much easier as time goes on though. Just hang in there and you will be ok.
Newbaby-Just wanted to tell you that my sister has 4 girls and 1 boy, and her son really likes having all sisters. He's such a sweet boy, is very boyish still, loves sports and outdoors stuff, but I think he also has a good dose of sensitivity in him due to all the sister :) Your little guy will be fine.

I always wonder why that is as it seems like many people with girls or pigeon pair really want another girl. Wouldn't it be just as exciting to give your son a brother as well?
I feel sad that you didn't get your little girl, but I know for sure you'll love this little man when he arrives. Hope you will be able to go HT in the future for you DD!

I'm sorry your're hurting right now. You are in the right place for support.
I'm from Canada too and did the HT route.
No, MS is not your only option. BTW, MS is not available in the US right now for sex-selection. BUT, you can do IVF with PGD or GSN to guarantee sex 99%+. The downsides are it's expensive, and may not work on the first try.
However, we did it, and it worked for us.
If you are serious, you can look into your options now, or later after the baby has been born. We cycled in the US with monitoring done by a local clinic in our city.
Check out the HT board here, if you want. And/or feel free to check out blogs and the HT Survey results tool. Both links are in my sig below.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. They help more than you think... because this is a time when I am feeling very lonely an angry at the world. My finding out gender is so recent that I'm in stage I think where I want to be angry, if that makes any sense. It's like I need to go thru that phase of sadness, anger, bitterness, before I can accept the situation. I have been thru some tough things in my life and I just though that this one time, finally, I may have gotten what I wished and prayed for. So I feel like life has let me down yet again, is making me take the difficult road instead of the easy, happy one that some people seem to be oon effortlessly. I can imagine how people dealing with infertility must feel - life is sooooooo unfair sometimes.
I really hope that youre right and that when I meet this baby, I will love it instantly and a lot fo the GD will lift. In fact, there is no doubt in my mind I will adore this child. What scares me is the pain I may have to deal with for a long while when seeing baby/toddler girls, or hearing of friends or relatives having girls. I just know that's gonna hurt so much, and it's not like I can live in a bubble and eliminate all little girls from my sight.
My DH has been great, but I'm trying to make him understand that this sadness will not lift overnight for me, that it will be very gradual, will take time. He is open to a third child, yes, but personally, I'm just not sure I'm up to it. I'm already 36 and never imagined I could handle more than two kids... As for HT, from what I gathered reading a few threads here on In-Gender, the only less invasive and expensive option is Microsort in Mexico. Honestly, if their success rate was higher, I would consider it, but from what I read today, there's only about a 15% chance of getting pg with them. I saw only one mom on here get her DD that way and a lot just got BFNs... So I dunno. I'm not closing the door though so if anyone has more insight on this, I'd still be interested.
GreenZelda: if it's not too indiscrete, did HT work on the first try for you? How taxing was it on your body and mood? How much did it cost? Where in the US did you go?

I'm in Quebec, which seems to be rare here!
Humm, when I see someone getting a girl only on their 4th try - it makes me happy for them, but sad for me because I know if I were in the same boat, I would never get the girl since I would never get to 4 kids...

The Beaver softball team was looking build on its doubleheader sweep of Wartburg College last Saturday, but ninth-ranked Luther College made it tough for BVU, as the Norse handed the Beavers 2-0 and 10-0 setbacks, respectively, on Saturday afternoon.
In the opener, Luther, which scattered seven hits in the contest, was able to tally single runs in both the second and third innings, and that proved to be enough. Four of the seven hits came in those two frames alone.
BVU got a lead-off single from Stephanie Hayden in the fourth and a lead-off double by Brooke Berkey in the seventh, but both were stranded.
Freshman Jenna Falline dips to 6-5 overall. She went the distance and allowed both runs on seven hits, while striking out two.
It was all Luther in the finale, as the Norse got a pair of runs in the first before adding three in the fourth, one more in the fifth and four in the sixth en route to the six-inning triumph.
Hayden turned in two of the team's hits for BVU, which was out-hit 11-3.
Faith Schmidt suffered the loss for BVU, allowing five unearned runs on five hits over 3.2 innings.

We must accept today's international realities. We must set aside our dependence on arms to implement our foreign policy, stop being arrogant, and embrace cooperation. Threats accomplish nothing so we must act as a nation like we do as individuals when faced with dangers such as natural disasters and disease, we must cooperate to overcome them.
We must give notice to the world of our intentions by announcing that the Bush Doctrine will no longer be part of the foreign relations policy of the United States.
We must fully support the United Nations as the best discussion and action body available. Forming alliances such as the "coaltion of the willing," to act when the U.N. will not, only furthers differences and encourages rivalries.
We need to revive the Anti-Ballistic Missle Treaty, Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and all other measures to reduce and eliminate the possibility of nuclear holocaust.
We must reexamine our lack of support for the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
We need to promote, sign, ratify and support a successor to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gases and begin the process of preventing catastrophic climate change.
We must join 143 other nations in signing the 1997 Ottawa Treaty banning landmines.
We must accept the International Covenant on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights, known as the "International Bill of Rights," which 149 other countries already have done.
Along with all nations, we must look into the planet's distrubution of wealth, to say nothing of basic human needs. Just one percent of our 2007 military spending would pay for two high-energy meals a day for 98 million children for one year.
We need to maintain a defense capability that actually protects our land, shores and airspace. We should partner with all nations to deal with terrorism or rogue leaders. We do not need bases, fleets and airfield spread imperialistically around the world.
We must join Jim Baker III and Warren Christopher, who served as secretaries of state for George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton, in supporting new legislation requiring the president to inform Congress of any plans to engage in significant armed conflict.
As a nation we must realize that we cannot run the whole world's show. Our foreign policy must put cooperation ahead of competition. As we ought to know by now, the imposition of military might does not succeed and only leads to more strife. And so much can be acccomplished with a change in the way our resources are directed.
With the last national election, the people of the United States of America had the chance to change the failed foreign policies of interference, competition and domination. We must hold the executive branch to its promises and expect that the president will replace fear and force with reason and diplomacy. We must continue to elect members of Congress who realize that the foreign policy must be changed and who accept their responsibility in the process.
Our peace and prosperity, to say nothing of our survival, depend on it—Berkley Bedell.

Congrats on the prints! I am currently working on my very first novel and I'm weighing the options between print and self publishing. For someone like you, who has obviously been writing for some time, what would you recommend? I have been writing for years, but mostly for web content. This will be the first book I have ever actually finished. I'd love to hear your opinion on self-publishing vs print publishing. Thanks a lot! Dave

Kenny Concert Photos
Last weekend my best friend, Ashley, came to visit me from Portland!! We had a blast!! On Saturday we went to the Kenny Chesney concert with my sister and friends! While Ash and I went for the tailgate, sun and people watching -- my sister went because she is absolutely head over heals in love with Kenny! This was her 15th Kenny concert!!! Well, this time we had sand bar tickets... which is the spot right in front of the stage! Amanda (sister) clung onto that stage until her dreams came true... and she got to touch Kenny's hand!! Oh, and by touch... I mean, she held on so tight, I think he had to shake her off! :) It was fun to see her so happy!! After that, we headed away from the stage and danced all night! Below are some photos from the tailgate (instagramed of course).... What a fun day!!
PS. Yes, we did tailgate with Bottles of Skinny Girl Margaritas and Moonshine! :)

Ashley Gale Photography: German Village Mini Sessions
As soon as I found out I was moving, I had to set up a day of mini sessions with some of my favorite kiddos and their families! We met in German Village and had a blast playing in the park, on a playground and in (yes, in) the fountain... I even got to take photos at my favorite ice cream shoppe!! Here is a sneak peak for the beautiful families :) PS. I will be setting up Fall Mini Sessions the morning of October 1st when I will be back in Columbus for a visit! Can't wait...

New Job. New City.
Hi Friends! So I have been kind of keeping a secret for a little bit... but since it is already out in the world of Facebook, I thought I should tell all of my blog friends as well! I am picking up my life in Ohio and moving to the East Coast... this weekend!! Philadelphia to be exact :) I am so excited... but a little nervous because I don't know a single person in Philly! Not too nervous though... because the more people I tell, the more I hear about 'friends of friends'! Plus, I will only be an hour -ish from NYC (lot of friends there), an hour from Baltimore (friends and family there), and an hour from the BEACH!! The beach is my best friend!! :) Anyway... so why this big change?! I was looking to get back to a bigger city and I was ready for a new challenge in my career. I've worked in corporate retail as a buyer/planner for the past 6 years and I absolutely love it... but I'm off to continue what I love to do at {Free People}, part of Urban Outfitters, Inc. I start working there next Tuesday!! So exciting!! Check out my new office space... who wouldn't enjoy working here everyday?! :) Wish me luck...
Oh... and another great perk about working at Urban Outfitters is that you can bring your dog to work! I don't have a dog (well, our family dog, but he lives with mom and dad)... but I can't wait to be surrounded by cute pups everyday! Maybe I will finally get the english bull dog I have been wanting for the past ten years!! Also... if you want another fabulous blog to follow... check out Free People's blog {here} - It has been one of my favorites before I even started interviewing there! xo.

Painting with Pastels
This weekend when I was out shopping, I noticed a big trend in my purchases - lots of creams and pastel colors! I've always been a fan of super brights... but lately I have been gravitating towards the softer shades of some of my favorite colors! Even in home decor... how fresh does this pink bedding look!??
{Urban Outfitters} |
Pastels have always reminded me of little girls clothing, but not after seeing these fabulous looks!

I've always loved the vintage look that is often associated with this color palette...

Guest Post: {Sprinkles on Everything}
Hi Friends! Let me introduce you to Emmy from {Sprinkles on Everything}! I first found Emmy's blog from her super fun and eye catching name! I mean... who wouldn't want to put Sprinkles... on literally, everything! I would! However, after following her blog for some time, I have fallen in love with her 'Color Combination Series'!

Hi everyone, I'm Emmy from Sprinkles on Everything and I am so excited to be guest posting today for Ashley! I am rather new to the blogging world and love to read a {little} dash of ash daily to get inspiration on everything from fashion to interiors, thanks for having me Ashley!
When thinking of ideas for guest posting, Ashley suggested I share with you one of my color combinations which I thought was a perfect suggestion (check out more here and here)! I don't know how many of you have heard of Pinterest but it is a m a z i n g. If I'm ever curious what is inspiring me I just check my boards and the answer always pops out at me.
About a month ago I went on a vacation with my family to St. John (read about it here) in search of coral reefs. My dad has an obsession with them and we plan our vacations based on where the coral reefs are. If you didn't know, coral reefs are slowly dying and the amazing natural colors you see in books and on TV are dwindling (very sad). We have become determined to scope out a picturesque coral reef before they are all gone. So far, unsuccessfully.
When going through my board the other day I noticed all the colors, patterns, and pictures I was being drawn to had one thing in common, coral reefs. It's no wonder, the fact that these colors exist in the wild and under water none-the-less, really is spectacular. Check out some of my coral reef inspired images below:

I love pairing coral with a bright blue or pale green. It really allows the color to pop and brings in the ocean feeling.

Friday's Fancies: Playing Tourist
Happy Friday! I am off to the East Coast today with my mom and sister for a little girls weekend! We are headed to Philly and then NYC! Today is going to be a day of travel and then a lot of walking around the city, so I need a good outfit for the plane ride and being a tourist! Despite the fact that I think it is pouring there... I am going to pretend that it will be a nice, breezy 75*! I've been inspired by the classic colors and easy look of this photo all week.... so naturally, I had to incorporate that into my outfit inspiration for today! Hope you have a great weekend... and stop by {av}'s blog for more {Friday Fancies} inspiration! :)

Kate Middleton's Official Portrait Top Is Almost Sold Out
No matter how you feel about Kate Middleton's first official portrait, which was unveiled last week, chances are you'd like to know which items she wore being immortalized on canvas. According to Grazia, the navy silk bow-tied top in which the Duchess is pictured is by French Connection (check it out at left) and—get this—is still listed on the retailer's e-commerce site. That said, the navy hue Kate chose is completely sold out, while only one size remains in both the black and ivory options.
Note that French Connection also carries a near-identical piece called the Silky Tie Neck Blouse that's currently in stock in ivory in sizes 4, 6 and 10—but if it's a dark-hued bow blouse like the Duchess' that you're after, look no further than the handful of options in the slideshow below.

Maryann Jessop teaches at Lacey Township High School in Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey. Lacey's population is mainly suburban, with easy access to New York and Philadelphia. Maryann Jessop has taught for 20 years, specializing in seniors of varying abilities. She has a Masters in English Education and has completed coursework in counseling.
Jeannie Goodwin is the National Education and Festivals Coordinator at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Education Department's Webmaster.
Students will examine stereotypes of women from The Good and the Badde (a 17th century primary source) in juxtaposition with the female characters in The Taming of the Shrew. Through this exercise, students will locate evidence from the text of the play to support or refute these stereotypes. The students should have finished Act 2 by the time they begin this assignment.
This lesson will take 2 class periods to introduce, and it will be extended as independent work until the play is completed.
Folger edition of The Taming of the Shrew Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
The attached documents: a graphic organizer and a primary source handout
1. After students have reached the end of Act 2, distribute copies of the excerpt from The Good and the Badde, London, 1616. Explain that it is a 17th century primary source that describes how women were categorized during Shakespeare's time.
2. Assign students to partners. Ask the teams to read through all of the descriptions and to select one description to work with. (You might want to make sure that all the descriptions are assigned to at least one set of partners.)
3. Distribute the graphic organizer (see handout below), and model one example on the overhead or chalkboard before the pairs begin the assignment.
4. Ask students to locate lines in the first two acts of the play which support or refute a description from The Good and the Badde.
5. Show students how to write the lines under the appropriate category on the graphic organizer. Be sure to include the act, scene, and line attribution.
6. Ask the partners to work together and record the evidence on the graphic organizer for at least four citations.
7. Next, ask the pairs to present their information to the class.
8. Discuss whether or not the stereotypes fit the characters using evidence from the play.
9. As the students read Acts 3, 4, and 5, they should continue to add evidence to the graphic organizer for homework.
10. Upon completion of the play, ask students to write a character analysis using evidence from the graphic organizer.

Jennifer E. Smith's new book might sound like a fairy tale, but it's actually born of something that happens to the author every day. In This Is What Happy Looks Like, an errant email from a teen heartthrob finds its way to a small-town girl and the two strike up a virtual conversation that'll have you grinning from ear to ear by the end of the prologue (I promise). Smith's inbox isn't filled with love notes from movie stars (much to her chagrin), but emails meant for her often wind up with a different Jennifer Smith. "I have such a such common name that so many of the the emails intended for me end up going astray," she says. "I wondered, what would happen if the other person wrote back?" We spoke to Jen about her bad boys, Justin Bieber, and a burgeoning trend in YA.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This is the second YA book I've written about in the past month that features a pig. Is this a new trend?
JENNIFER E. SMITH: That's so funny. Actually, the biggest complaint that I've been getting about the book so far is that there's not enough of the pig in there. When I started writing it, I thought it was going to be a dog. But after typing the words, I was like, a teen movie star would totally have a weird pet. So I kind of threw it in, but I'm getting a lot of requests for extra Wilbur material.
Will we be seeing a Wilbur novella anytime soon?
I'm thinking about it. The book hasn't even come out yet, but that's been the focus of so much of the feedback I've been getting, so it might have to happen. READ FULL STORY

The first change we noticed was a spot that we called the "Stump Hole". It was now the "Stumpless Hole"; while the next riffle down became the "Stump Riffle". Kind of a bummer, but you have to roll with changes, and somewhere is probably better now. We did not get anything probing in either of those two spots, but with steelhead fishing, you just increase your odds with the more pieces of water that you decide to fish.
We were fishing some spots with two handed rods and Skagit heads, and other spots we fished with Thingamabobbers and egg patterns. The river was at the highest levels for what I would want to fish it at, but it looked very promising, and we had high confidence between swinging and nymphing.
We fished a variety of spots and nothing was panning out. Just the 1000 casts that these fish are know for and that was about it so far. My friend Brian was fishing a spot and suddenly a fish flashed through the water. We both noticed the chrome bumper under the water, but very close to his fishing position. He carefully presented the fly to the nearby fish and suddenly he was shouting fish on!
A nice battle and the fish was in. We were stoked for this chromer, and the day's effort was well worth it now. Another fine fish and another fine day out on the river!

Make going to the doctor fun
Posted By Susie L On September 29, 2009 @ 9:03 am In Photo Book Ideas | 1 Comment
Today I came upon an adorable little book made by a nursing student to help kids overcome their fears of the doctor's office. Where was this book two weeks ago when I took my 5-year-old in for his shots!
Check out Sophie Goes to the Doctor [1] and see how it inspires you.
I know there are plenty of books about going to the doctor, but, wouldn't it be great if the pictures were actually of the child's pediatrician? And the actual doctor's office. Even the actual child! And then I got to thinking, maybe we could turn it into a project that we do as a kind of distraction. My son loves to take pictures, so maybe the next time we're at the doctors, he gets to take the camera and document his experience. And then we put it together as a photo book for my younger daughter to help her get through the experience. Stories are such powerful learning vehicles for kids. What a treat to be able to make them personal.
Here's another great find. What kind of Doctor will you be? [2] a sweet kid's book about different kinds of doctors.

Keyboard shortcuts don't work
I created a keyboard shortcut for my calculator, Control+Alt+C. It only works if the shortcut is also on the desktop. As soon as I delete the desktop shortcut, the keyboard shortcut stops working. I've tried creating other shortcuts and have the same problem. Thanks for any help.

You have answered your own question:
No shortcut file - no shortcut combination assigned to that file. Alternatively, you can use AutoHotkey to create custom key shortcuts and even key remapping. |

If you modify the shortcut in the Start Menu (Start > Programs > Accessories > Calculator) with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+C, then it will be active as long as the Start Menu is loaded. Or, do as you did before, but move (drag) the shortcut from your desktop to your preferred location within the Start Menu, or the Quick Launch toolbar on the Taskbar. The way Microsoft designed the interface for Windows 7, you can launch the calculator and while its taskbar button is displayed on the taskbar, right-click the button and select Pin to Taskbar. A third method is to navigate to the shortcut in the Accesories menu and right-click it, then select Pin to Start Menu, or Pin to Taskbar. The latter two methods keep the launch button on the Taskbar or Start Menu even when the application is closed. You can assign it a shortcut key before or after you pin it to either location.
Hope this helps. |

Neutron, I used to be able to use a keyboard shortcut without the desktop shortcut on an older computer running Windows XP, but perhaps I had created the shortcut from the start menu, the way PCAce (above) suggested. I don't remember. Anyway, thanks for the link; I'll check it out.
PCAce, thanks for your suggestions; I was able to create the shortcut from the Start menu so all is well. Thanks so much. |
