A partnership at many levels: CARE and WorldFish
A story of partnership from WorldFish and CARE, for the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD) theme P - Partnerships.
Since the 1940s, the humanitarian organization, CARE, has been a key player on the world development stage. CARE's work ranges from the delivery of humanitarian assistance amid times of crisis, to more on-going support to build community resilience and development capacity. CARE began working with WorldFish in a number of projects to improve livelihoods in developing countries. CARE and WorldFish both share a determination to alleviate poverty in vulnerable communities, and this mutual goal has fostered a productive partnership in countries including Bangladesh and Egypt and now with the CGIAR Research Program on Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS).
CARE and WorldFish have joined together to plan and implement the AAS Program. The communities in aquatic agricultural systems that both organizations work with are unique and varied, as are the multitude of vulnerabilities and challenges they face. Andrea Rodericks, Executive Director for Program Quality and Learning in CARE India notes that "the problems we are trying to address are complex change processes and no one organization can tackle them alone."
The empowerment of women in low income communities is fundamental to CARE's work around the world. Rodericks, who has worked for many years to improve the status of women in developing countries, sees a natural partner in WorldFish on this issue. "I find our ideas of thinking around gender transformative change align quite well," she says. "It's still a long journey to get that right, but I'm impressed by the way WorldFish is approaching this and their clarity of intent in this area."
Partnerships provide opportunities to bring together complementary expertise and experiences to tackle development challenges. As Jamie Terzi from CARE Bangladesh explains, "The relationship with WorldFish is strengthened by having mutual objectives and understanding how we can complement each other's work."
For Ms Terzi, the partnership is growing. "We've been building the relationship – we've now done a joint assessment mission in south west Bangladesh – that was a valuable experience for us, as rather than one organization going it alone we were learning as a team. The results were a much deeper analysis. We don't want to confine ourselves to the south west so we are looking for wider partnership in Bangladesh and with WorldFish taking the approach it is in AAS, this fits well with the approach CARE is taking in relation to the total ecosystem approach. The partnership is changing from a more project-based to an institutional relationship."
In Egypt, where much effort is needed to address persistent high unemployment and limited economic opportunity for the poor, CARE is working with WorldFish on a significant project to improve employment and income through the development of Egypt's aquaculture sector (a project connected with the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish). In both instances, the collaboration between organizations has benefited from a shared vision. Susan Nour, Initiatives Manager at CARE Egypt, describes WorldFish as a "natural partner" for this reason. "In this project we definitely have aligned around the objectives and our understanding of the approach and methodology that WorldFish is using – bottom up, poor-focused and the interest WorldFish has in listening to CARE's point of view and the commitment to development. We also seem aligned on building capacity and empowering marginalized communities."
CARE Egypt Country Director, Kevin Fitzcharles, and Assistant Country Director, Hazem Fahmy, agree, adding that the research element that the WorldFish brings to the partnership is of great value. "There is a rigor in the evidence-based approach used by WorldFish that makes CARE work better grounded," they note.
Whether it's in the Bangladeshi lowlands, the banks of the Nile or in aquatic agricultural systems across Asia and Africa, the partnership between CARE and WorldFish could be transformative for many. "I think CARE and WorldFish could be a good partnership that will work together to influence the agenda on what donors fund and in negotiating for longer term projects," says Rodericks. "If we identify issues together we can use our evidence to influence funding and programming strategies that could enable real social change."

I'm serious...this is a 3 br (third br will be office and small) with 1.5 baths that are very small. What are some creative places folks have tucked away cat litter boxes in the small aka "cozy" home? TIA for the poop on this all-important question! |

We live in a condo and have 2 cats. We put a cat door in a closet door and put the litter box in the closet that is under our staircase. It helps to contain the smell. Good luck! |
OR you could disguise it as real furniture (or buy it readymade). There are some really terrific 'fakes' out there, complete with pull-out trays or (vented) tops as many cats don't like tops otherwise - I bet if you Googled 'creative cat boxes' or something you'd get tons of inspired hits. |
Under a sink in one of the bathrooms? Either a cat door within the cabinet door or perhaps remove one door and put up a "curtain". |
- Posted by flgargoyle (My Page) on Mon, Dec 31, 07 at 9:40
Ours is in our utility room. We use a long latch and hook on the door, which holds it wide enough so the cats can get through, but the dog won't go mining for 'tootsie rolls'. |
Now, we have a really small basement "room" where we put the cat box and just leave the door ajar... but when we lived in a condo (like sunshine) we put it in the closet under the stairs. Something like that (closets, cabinets) works well too. Good luck. |
I have a large built-in cupboard in the bathroom, and I cut out the bottom shelf, so I can set the litter box into it. The door has a magnetic closure on it, and my Siamese has become adept at pressing on the door in order to make it spring open. |
Fortunately I have a small laundry room that it can go in now. When I was living in a very small apartment I had a small rolling cart and put the litter box on the bottom tray and put the cart in the farthest unused corner of the room. I put a nice tablecloth over the cart to disguise the cat box. Maybe not the best solution, but the bathroom only had a pedestal sink and not enough room for the box and the closet wasn't really an option either. |
Seems putting one in a closet would make the closet pretty unusuable for a lot of other things. I for one would not want my clothes in a closet with a litter box. I guess if the closet only stored stored the iron, vacuum cleaner etc. it would be ok |
Where does the catbox go? Er.....out in the street? |

I put mine in the garage next to the door from the kitchen and installed a cat door from the house into the garage. |
In small apartments, I always removed one of the cabinet doors on the bathroom cabinet, and then put the litterbox on the side where the door is remaining. Most people can't see the box then. Cat goes in the opening, and most tracked out litter stays in the cupboard area, rather than on the floor. I've never liked the solution of having it out in the bathroom (either in a specially made box, or just openly out). It just takes up too much space. |
I hid one in the bottom of a bathroom closet (removed the door and put up some colorful fabric). For the second one I bought a Booda litter box which is nicely shaped and aesthetically pleasing. I keep that one in the bathroom that doesn't have a closet. One of my favorite gadgets is a diaper-genie thing for litter boxes so it's easy to scoop them once or more a day (keeping the smell down), without the hassle of taking the waste outside. |

I put mine in the office, under a litter box cover. It seriously reduces the amount of litter on the floor! |
Use cat psychology,they want a quiet private place. If the box is too dirty or smelly,they will go elsewhere. |

We have 4 inside cats and 3 litter boxes and if you'd come to the house, you'd never know we had a cat....2 of the boxes are in the spare bedroom/craft room and we also have a box in the basement...The trick is to keep them clean, emptied twice a day if needed and sprinkle a little litter deodorant on top every once in awhile...Jannie is right, keep it clean and private and you'll have no problem, no matter where you keep it.... |

"er.. out in the street." insulting and not helpful!! |
We don't have a cat now - our little lady went to the Bridge in June - but we do plan on bringing another into the family soon, and this is one of the major stumbling blocks. Our previous house was 1/3 larger, with 2 1/2 baths, so we were able to just devote the half bath to the cat's litter box, food, water, etc. We got spoiled! I would really prefer to switch out the pedestal sink in our half bath for a wall-hung one, ideally a salvaged one that suits our old house better, so that there is room beneath it for a covered litter box. (We have to have a covered one because the dog considers litter boxes to be his own personal snack platters, YUCK! Plus, at least with our late kitty, if he got anywhere near the litterbox while the cat was "visiting" it it would upset the cat quite a lot which led to litterbox avoidance.) An old-fashioned fabric skirt on the wall-hung sink would hide the box from view. The room is really too small for a vanity that would be big enough to hold a litter box, even if an entry hole were cut in the side. But, cashflow is a bit of an issue and there are other things that are higher priority. Probably the litter box would end up in a corner of the kitchen until we can afford to mess around with the half bath. Not ideal IMO, I hate having the litter box in the kitchen, but there isn't anywhere else available. Were we to do that we would cough up for one of those litter box enclosures to keep the dog out of it, maybe one of those "rhino-wicker" ones. I really like the wood cabinet ones but whoo-ee, they are very pricey! I did find an interesting litter box on Petco.com that has the entry hole at the top rather than on the side: Clevercat Top-Entry Litterbox They claim it is dog-proof and minimizes litter tracking. I suppose one could just get one of those big Rubbermaid bins with the lid and cut a hole in the lid, as a bargain version. Still ugly though. Our cellar is dirt-floored with 3-4" of loose, fluffy silt on top of the hard-packed earth - to a cat that would be one big 500sf litterbox! |

Finding space in my 840 sq foot house was a challenge. Currently, the litter box is in a corner of my spare bedroom/computer room/ironing space/music room. I tried placing it in the closet in that room, but I'm not home to clean the box multiple times during the day and didn't like certain foul smells wafting up and attaching themselves to whatever else was in there. My cat is 15 yrs old with some health issue. When she passes (hopefully not for a while yet)I'd like to get two cats, but worry about where I'm going to put TWO litter boxes in this house! |
I keep mine in my basement. |

Hello again and thanks everyone. Some of your responses were pretty funny! I've put myself on the waiting list of the top entry Clevercat litterbox that is currently out of stock at petco.com. I also have ordered a wall hung sink for the 1/2 bath that should be delivered this coming Weds or so; when it's installed I'll see if a litterbox with cover will fit underneath (and I like that idea of hiding it behind a skirt!) Thanks again!/Carol |
I've tried the kitchen, but mine is small and I found it pretty gross having it around my food. I currently have mine in our dining room seeing that it doesn't get much use, but when we have guests I am very embarrased. I liked a lot of the suggestions here. Has anyone tried toilette training their cat(s)? I have seen kits in PetSmart but I am unable to try seeing as I only have 1 bathroom and the husband would kill me... |
This seems to have gone full circle - a covered box (unless you know your cat will tolerate it) could be asking for trouble as many cats don't like them, and toilet training can be done but requires a lot of patience, preferably a more amenable younger cat, and probably a cooperative husband. But it can be done... look for info. at www.thecatsite.com/forums. |
Johnmarie...I have two dogs and use a catbox that comes with a lid, opening faces the wall. Cats easily skinny in, dogs can't get there. Have always placed the catbox in the garage with a kitty flap installed on the door going into it. Am now in a small home with a garage but no door entry from house. I hate cat boxes anywhere in the house, short of a basement corner. Actually I just hate cat boxes, but they go with the cats so will live with the pain to pleasure ratio. Am not a fan of the bathroom idea. Cat sand is a pain and requires constant attention along with cleaning. Really don't want the box around an area I spend bath time. A closet is fine if nothing else is in it, but tight enclosures seem to make the situation worse. My catbox is now in the spare bedroom. I looked at all of the "decorative" enclosures, but felt they were a tad expensive for what they are. For a couple of months I had the box in a large plastic tub with lid, cut a hole to let them get in through the side. It looked stupid. Then perused around the house for possibile furniture items. Thought about using a small trunk, put an opening in it for the cats and use lid to open for cleaning. That idea went by the wayside (didn't have the nerve to cut the trunk) and ended up using a large end table with a cabinet door...which had to be left ajar slightly. I thought this idea was so smart. The problem with using an enclosure around the cat box is it has more odor hanging around without air circulation. The end table idea just made the cat box situation worse. So the box is now just a cat box in the open (one with a top cover), on a fluffy bath rug to catch tracking, secreted in a corner, opening facing wall. Can't be seen, easy to keep clean and odor hasn't been an issue. If the spare room needs to be used for a length of time, will move the box into my office temporarily. My cats love their catbox time and will find it anywhere if moved. We had a toilet trained cat years ago. She was a couple of years old when it began. Originally belonged to the kids grandma who would sit and do her hair/makeup at a little desk in the bathroom. The cat was always in there with her watching all. One day, out of the blue, she just sat sprawled across the toilet and never used a box again. The cat was given to us when ML could no longer take care of her. The toilet deal was such a big deal that monster meows would evolve if anyone had closed the toilet seat. As great as this cat ability was we always thought it would be an added perk if she could have figured out how to flush. I'm not sure a cat can be actually trained to do the above. The right cat perhaps, but I'd probably try it with the very one that hated the whole idea. They are each so unique and whatever goes on in their heads is beyond all of us. Still thankful for all of the cat lovers here. Anyone reading this thread with less than a small interest in cats might consider us a perfect example of cat owner lunacy. |

emagineer, LOL, your cat sounds like the perfect pet, toilet trained and all that! But let me ask you, did the cat prefer the toilet paper roll with edge of the roll facing away or edge of roll facing wall? ;-) |
Carol, Cat people...aren't we wonderful? I can answer your question too. No toilet trained cats now. But the paper deal.... the two would rather have it facing out. Much easier to play with and unroll as far away as possible. And I solved this problem. My roll is in a brass ship's wine bottle holder which mounts to the wall. Came up with this when seeing it at an antique store. The idea wasn't for the cats though. My kids could never come up with a good reason to replace the roll on a standard holder. I thought the find was great so they could just drop a new roll in it. Of course this never worked either, but I like the oddity of the wine holder....so I give up on the paper deal. |
My mother put the cat box in the corner of a room, then surrounded it with a mass of potted plants, plants hanging off a hook on the wall, etc. You couldn't see the box at all, and the cat seemed content with prowling through the jungle to get to it. |
Has anyone checked the plant pots lately for sand? The kind that will clog up the soil and kill the plants? Not to mention whether or not the cat uses them as 'salad' on occasion? |
My mother no longer has a cat, but she did the potted plants thing around the litter box for over a decade without any trouble. Several of the plants were large Christmas cacti. |
My sister has the ideal place for a cat box. In her basement, and at the top of the basement stairs there's a large closed door with one of those hinged cat doors built into it. Her cat has complete privacy. And No smells. |

Ours are right out in the open, one in a corner of the kitchen, one in the half bath downstairs. We can't use covered boxes, or the cats who sometimes won't use the litter boxes won't use them at all. Basement is out - there's a packed dirt floor, and they go wherever they like. I hate where the boxes are now, but would hate it even more if they were in a closet that I had to use for anything else (especially food or clothes) or in a bedroom. I thought about putting at least one on our third floor, but I know it wouldn't get cleaned often enough. |

We have a laundry "closet" off the kitchen. We bought a stackable washer and dryer, which reside on one side, and the 2 litter boxes are on the other side. The closet doors stay slightly ajar for the most part, so the cats can get in and out. We use the "feline pine" litter--no sand gets tracked through the house. |
I have 3 cats and 2 boxes-- both in the basement. The basement has a cat door on it. I bought a Clever Cat box a year ago to see if it would help with the litter. It definitely HELPS, but the litter still gets out. Check your local craigslist for these as I sometimes see them for sale (new). When we lived in apartments (we only had 2 cats then) we'd keep in the box in the pantry. Thankfully, we always had big pantries even though the kitchens were tiny. |
Know this is an old post, but found a website with the most interesting cat boxes. Now to afford one. And would the cat or I appreciate it. Check out the robot litter box. |

Hi...I started my broccoli seeds the other day, aiming for transplanting in mid-March as per the NCSU guidelines but then saw broccoli seedlings for sale over at Lowes.
So now I'm wondering if people here (I'm in Durham NC) actually put broccoli in the ground this early? I'm a little doubtful, as I remember seeing tomato seedlings for sale in mid-March last year, which is clearly too early. Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I started broccoli from seed in November and planted it in December in a bed with endive seed and with Bibb lettuce plants that I bought from Campbell Road nursery. The bed is covered with shade cloth most of the time except for sunny days when I am working in the garden. Recently these plants have been really growing and we are getting salads daily by breaking off one leaf per plant from the biggest lettuce and clipping the endive seedlings which are about 2-inches high. As the broccoli plants get bigger, I will harvest the lettuce and endive from around them until they are alone in this bed. Broccoli should do well if planted now if you can cover the plants to keep off the frost. If not, the plants could be damaged or killed by a hard freeze. In past years I have put thin plastic sheets over the shade cloth when the weather was forecast to be sub-freezing, but this year, I never got around to it, and the lettuce, spinach, endive and asian greens have all come through the couple of nights in the mid-teens we have had here in Raleigh. |
Ok, well maybe I'll head over to Lowes and pick up some seedlings. They had some Early Dividend, which is a lot earlier than the types I'm growing from seed. That will help spread the harvest out. Thanks. |

OCZ Technology's company headquarters is about an hour away from Candlestick Park, home of the San Francisco 49ers. It's safe to say that a few of the OCZ employees are 49er fans and every 49er fan remembers what happened at the end of 1992.
A controversy was brewing in San Francisco during the 1992 season. The 49ers had a real situation on their hand, two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. After an injury took him out for most of the season, Joe Montana returned to his starting role on the team. The greatest of all time was aging, but was still in winning form. On the sidelines was a much younger Steve Young who had proved himself on the field in Montana's absence. What a position to be in, right? Well, at the end of the 1992 season, the 49ers and Montana agreed to part ways. Joe left to join the Kansas City Chiefs and Steve Young stayed in San Francisco to go on to win the Super Bowl in 1994.
I find OCZ's current situation similar to the early 1990's 49ers. OCZ had a very good run with SandForce, winning best consumer SSD awards with both the Vertex 2 and a year later with Vertex 3. Just like Joe, the SandForce SF-2000 series is starting to look a little older and the young competition from other makers is starting to catch up. SandForce might offer the fastest controller to date, but that might not be the case starting next season.
Before Steve Young was traded to the 49ers he played in Tampa Bay. There he had two horrible seasons, but everyone could see the talent including 49ers head coach Bill Walsh. Indilinx, in their later years as a separate company was not competitive with controllers from Intel and Samsung. In a sense OCZ traded to pick up Indilinx, mainly their RAM and peripherals product lines (they were actually just dropped). In their yearly product cycle OCZ was ready to release something new, something fresh, but their star quarterback SandForce was injured. OCZ had already released an impressive top to bottom lineup of products based on the SandForce technology so there weren't any gaps to fill with SandForce based products.
Indilinx was called off the bench and although OCZ's first Indilinx infused Everest was not in a position at the time to displace SandForce at the top, the potential was there for the next season. That is where we are today.

Dr. Robert hangs up the stethoscope after 50-plus years
By Monica Albers email@example.com May 27, 2014 8:42PM

Updated: June 29, 2014 6:45AM
A Chicago street was renamed last Thursday in recognition of a man who took regular steps to serve his community through a career in medicine.
Dr. Robert Dolehide was recognized with an official street sign designation; Dr. Dolehide Way at 113th Street and Western Avenue — the location of his private practice and part of a legacy of over 50 years of medicine. Friends and family joined him at the event to celebrate a career that had been influential in the lives of many, including family members who would join him in the field.
In his speech at the event, Dolehide humbly accepted the gift while also recognizing his deceased brother Dr. Eugene Dolehide, son Dr. Kevin Dolehide and "all those professionals who provided health care in this building all these years."
Dolehide founded his private medical practice near 111th Street and Kedzie Avenue before partnering with his brother, Eugene, a general surgeon, at the practice's current location. This building was razed just last year in order to provide a new state-of-the-art medical center, Metro South, with which to better serve the community.
"I always think of the people in the 19th Ward because I'm really indebted to them," Dolehide told the SouthtownStar. "They're great, wonderful people."
Often referred to as "Dr. Robert," Dolehide made compassion a central element to his career in medicine.
"Bob was always taking care of anybody who came into the office. Nobody was ever refused care," said Eileen Dolehide, Dr. Dolehide's wife of 61 years. "He took care of everybody."
Dolehide's son, Kevin, would join him for the last 20 years of his career, allowing for opportunities of both learning and friendship. Dolehide, who retired in Dec. 2013, has been able to leave his practice confident in his son's abilities to continue assisting the community.
"Kevin is my best friend, a great doctor and my son and that made retiring a difficult decision," Dolehide said in a press release. "But he is better served than I to handle the modern medicine of today. He is a great doctor."
Growing up in Chicago's Chatham community, Dolehide attended De La Salle High School and graduated from St. Mary's University in Minnesota in 1947. He would be called to serve in the Navy near the end of World War II but returned to Chicago to study at Loyola University Medical School, graduating in 1951. From there, Dolehide began his medical career specializing in internal medicine at Cook County Hospital.
Not only working toward building a successful practice, the Dolehides also have been active members of the community, donating time and skills in support of Port Ministries, a non-profit organization that provides meals, GED and English classes and a free health clinic to those in need. Dr. Dolehide regularly donated his expertise at the clinic while Eileen helped distribute meals or volunteered at the organization's family center.
"You get to know the families and you see what great need there is," said Eileen on her experiences with volunteering. "I think about all these service projects where university students have to go to foreign countries, but there's plenty to do right here, too."
Dolehide has eight children and 46 grandchildren, and is grateful for the opportunities for fellowship and service that he has experienced through his community.
"I've always been happy helping people," Dolehide said in a press release. "I've been blessed."

Lincoln Town Car Maintenance & Repair
egkor Posts: 24Hi,
I have a '95 T/C with approx. 95K miles that sometimes, after being driven enough to get the engine compartment hot, will not restart after being shut off.
It does not always happen, but it has happened three times recently, enough to make me lose confidence in the car. I would really like to "nail" this issue at minimal expense.
When it happens, I open the hood to let the engine compartment cool, and then the engine will start again.
When it is in this "will not start" mood, then engine will crank per normal, just does not fire. After I open the hood and wait approx. 5 to 10 minutes, the engine will fire up right away.
I read earlier messages about tightening the ground at the battery, I've done that. No change.
If this is a ignition module issue, could someone please post an accurate description of the location of the module?
Thanks very much,

nwraaa Posts: 161This car has a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which is located on the driver's side fire wall. It does not have an ignition module like on the older cars. I suspect though that your problem is not the PCM. It may be that the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor needs to be cleaned or replaced. Remove the Mass Air Flow Sensor and clean it. This is the component with the security screws located near the air filter. This is a delicate item. I usually use a cotton swab and some alcohol or electrical parts cleaner to clean the two small wires that are inside this item. If it is not functioning properly, it will cause the engine to mis fire, idle roughly, or may prevent the engine from starting. Has your service engine light been coming on?
shoemaker Posts: 9Gary: Had this problem, again with a '95 town car. Replacing the fuel pump didn't work. What DID work was replacing the fuel injector switch(es). These cost $15 at a dealer and they instructed my husband how to install them which was a 5-10 minutes job. Haven't had that problem since. I still seem to have excessive 'chiming' when starting and turning off the car, but can live with this. Shoemaker
papaa Posts: 20symtoms previously were engine would turn over normally but not start. If key is off and the radio is on it will time off at 8 to 10 minutes. After it goes off the engine will start. That has been ongoing on sporatically for over 6 months. We could handle the time lapse on most occasions. Today,04-17-06, I started out and at about 5 minutes into the ride the engine quit. The engine will not start now. The battery is good, the MAF is clean, the engine will turn over fine but will not run.I have replaced the spark plugs . There is no fire at them. The motor has 140,000 miles on it. When it would run it was smooth and everything would work. The key on gives air bag code Of 5-3 . I am A working person and can't afford A machanic. I would appreciate good help Thanks
papaa Posts: 20The answer to my 95 not starting was the EEC relay located in A device on the drivers fender well. The unit holds three relays with an external diode. The part was only 15 dollars. The help came from the local pepboys crew who knew what it was without putting it on an analyzer. Experience counts alot in this persons world .
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350I think you were very fortunate Pepboys knew that they were doing.
One of my automotive repair peeves is an ASE certified techi at a service station will guess at what part needs to be replaced and plays around with a diagnostic console. Trial and Error repair is not professional and IMO should not be supported by paying for replacing a part that was NOT the fault. The dealership found the part needing to be replaced, but the service techie didn't know to replace the MAF, but the techie expects to be paid. -
papaa Posts: 20I'll see if anyone can help me on the brake problem. The car will drive short distances under 2 miles and I will not notice any problems. If the ride is longer the front brakes start siezing on both sides. I will have to stop the car or the wheels get so hot that I'm afraid there could be A fire. It really starts getting hard to move and the transmission lets me know to stop.The engine works harder. I like the car . It has A leaking air suspension but I don't want to tackle that until the brake situation is remedied. Thanks
mr_c2u Posts: 4I have recently changed the battery in my 90 town car and now when i went to close the trunk lid, the power motor will not take the trunk lid down. Is there a relay switch or sensor that may bave tripped and now will not let the lid to come down, or is there a by pass fuse or switch to shut if off so i can close trunk lid??????? Please help there is rain in them there clouds over the rise lol thank you........ Mr.C
email@example.com -
retired8 Posts: 12I can't help you with the brake problem, but sure can help you with the leaking air suspension. Please see my entry #318 on the 95 TC. It's common to replace the entire system with 2 coil springs and seems to work perfectly. I drive it almost every day and notice no difference in the ride or handling. I haven't loaded down the trunk area yet. This could possibly affect the car attitude some, but it's fixed for good. I highly recommend it. I assume any good general repair shop can do it.
Now, could someone please advise me on the problem with my cruise control in #318? Thanks -
mr_c2u Posts: 4thank you very much,,,, there is a second option for a stronger battery they offered me, but was told it was for the heated windshield only that it draws more ampige for that only but not for the trunk lid. thanks again i do have to get new starter put in or keep hitting it with hammer lol. after i put new battery in and only let it run for 20min i shut it off and it wouldn't start again. take care and thank you again..... have a good one
mr_c2u Posts: 4I took battery back and they fully charged for me and when i put it in the problem is still there it will not draw it down, looks like im going to have to take it back and spend another 40bucks for the stronger battery. i will let you know if this solves the trunk lid problem, because it worked before i changed it now it doesn't. i hope it isn't the motor..... chat back at ya again
chad09o Posts: 4we had a 1993 toyota pick up truck , we took it to a brake expert he redid all the brack lines and he had a new worked that put brake fluid in a soda bottel and put it in . the didthe same this after 1 -2 miles the water in the soda make it expand and lock up like that. brack systems are all the same think.. try bleeding it and get all the old stuff out and then cycle new fluuid thought it. and yes those air rides mess over . on my 85 i but spring and shcok on it saves time and money and rides like new.

limo Posts: 20The factory door pad code is located in three places.
1. The trunk hinge, usuallay on the right side
2. Under the front bumper, on the right side
3. On the computer inside the drivers door. Remove the trim panel to find it. There are two screws buried in the
upholstery that must be removed to get the trim panel off.
You can not put your own code on the pad without first entering the factory code, so if you want to do this, ya gotta go for the code on the inside of the drivers door -
limo Posts: 20This procedure works with with 95 and up model years, I assume it will also work with earlier versions of the same body style.
1. Put your foot on the brake, and LEAVE IT THERE!
2. Remove the key from the ignition
3. Re-insert the key into the ignition
4. Turn the key only to the FIRST stop
5. Pull back on the shift lever, and move it to the
neutral position
6. Turn the key the rest of the way to "start" and start the engine
7. Put selector in drive
8. Now, take your foot off the brake
Remember, you will not have stop lights because the stop light switch has gone to lunch. The stop light switch is required to be working in order to complete the circuit and unlock the gear selector when you start the engine, so best replace it ASAP.

My husband recalls Texas Longhorn cowpeas from his childhood, and would like to find some. It is a conch type, bush variety with really long pods. Best he can remember, they had green pods about 15-18" long, with an off-white color pea. Does anyone have any they would like to trade? Or does anyone have any info on this pea? |

- Posted by greentongue Upper Zone 7 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 08 at 2:40
Found 2 descriptions of this variety in SSE 2007 yearbook (members only catalog), but it might help you find something that is similar or help with internet search. Both listings state that they taste like boiled peanuts, but neither describe a light-colored bean. One thinks it might be another name for Big Red Ripper, as they are so similar; Lists original source as South Carolina Foundation Seed Assn in Clemson, SC The other describes the variety as having 15 - 18 large peas in a 9 - 10 inch pod, and the peas as maroon with black eyes, and he got his seed from the guy who says they may be the same as Big Red Ripper. Hope this helps in your search. greentongue |
basil77, This is an old post, but wanted to check and see if you found what you were looking for. If not, then I will offer more info. Shot |
- Posted by gadawg Georgia(email@example.com) onMon, Apr 25, 11 at 17:34
The Texas Longhorn Pea was a white pea that had a clear gravy when cooked similar to the Cream 40 pea of today. The grew up to 15 - 18 inch pods. They are available from some growers in south Georgia if they have extra seeds. |
Shot, I think I found something similar to what I was looking for. I would love to hear any info you may have though. About 2 yrs ago, my boss gave me some Tx Cowhorn Peas that her uncle gave her (who is from S. Ga). There is still some question as to whether or not they are the same peas he remembers from when he was a kid. So, any additional info would be great! |

We have texas longhorn pea seed that we save every year. email@example.com |

"Personalized card case"
By Christi Crowder
Comments: Very classy looking. This is my first purchase from Memorable Gifts and I am happy with the product.
"Lovely and unique case"
By Sarah Geer
Comments: It's beautiful & slim, I appreciated the quick turnaround, and I love the natural style of the wood case. I got the maple, the engraving shows up nicely. Fyi, it holds ~10 cards.
"Very nice!"
By Kevin Rowe
Comments: Great case! Very well made! Engraving was also well done! Quick turnaround for a custom product. Great conversation starter (I sell wood products to builders and architects). It is probably a little bigger than it appears in the pictures after you figure in the over sized card width and hinges - like a small, thin wallet compared to most smaller business card cases. Recommended!
"Great Product & Great Customer Service!"
By Claire Wicks
Comments: The case is beautiful and their customer service is EXCELLENT! Original had a hairline crack in the door, it was quickly and easily exchanged for one w/o a crack. I'm very happy with the item and their customer service!
"Great product. Deceiving size"
By Perry Kalmus
Comments: I really like this product. It's beautiful, but it's rather HUGE for a business card carrying case. That needs to be made more clear. This is something that appears bulky in your pocket.

Chapter20: Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Part B: Correction Of Accounting Errors
p. 1152
GRAPHIC 20-10 The retrospective approach is used for the correction of errors. The correction of an error is treated as a prior period adjustment. | |||||
14 Interestingly, it appears that not all accounting errors are unintentional. Research has shown that firms with errors that overstate income are more likely "to have diffuse ownership, lower growth in earnings and fewer income-increasing GAAP alternatives available, and are less likely to have audit committees," suggesting that "overstatement errors are the result of managers responding to economic incentives." M. L. DeFond and J. Jiambaolvo, "Incidence and Circumstances of Accounting Errors," The Accounting Review, July, 1991. 15 In practice, the vast majority of errors are not material with respect to their effect on the financial statements and are, therefore, simply corrected in the year discovered (step 1 only). |

Rose-less Bulls too much for Grizzlies
OCT 09, 2012 10:20p ET
Trailing 52-49 at half, the Bulls scored the first 14 points in the third quarter to pull away. Richard Hamilton made a jumper to give the Bulls a 63-52 lead and Nate Robinson made a 3 in the corner to extend the Chicago lead to 81-65 late in the third quarter. Hamilton scored eight points in the third quarter and finished with 13.
The Bulls played without Derrick Rose, who is still recovering from knee surgery, stemming from his torn ACL during the 2012 playoffs.
Jerome Jordan led the Grizzlies (1-1) with 13 points and Ronald Murray added 11 points.

Counties interested in evaluating proposed locations of confinement facilities that need a construction permit must sign up by Jan. 31, 2012.
Counties that would like to participate must adopt and file a construction evaluation resolution before the board of supervisors submits the resolution to the DNR between Jan. 1 and 31.
"This is an opportunity for counties to provide input to producers on site selection, and the type of structures and facility management being proposed," said Gene Tinker, coordinator of the DNR animal feeding section. "County supervisors can review and comment on the master matrix that producers submit."
Producers in counties that file the resolutions must meet higher standards than other permitted sites. They must earn points on the master matrix by choosing a site and using practices that reduce impacts on the environment and the community.
Counties that participate in the master matrix process may send staff to accompany the DNR on site visits to proposed locations. The county board of supervisors may also appeal the DNR's preliminary approval of a permit to the Environmental Protection Commission.
Approximately 86 counties have filed resolutions each year since the master matrix went into effect in 2003.
Counties that have adopted a resolution should mail it to Jerah Sheets at the DNR, 502 E. Ninth St., Des Moines, IA 50319 or fax it to 515-281-6794. Sign-ups occur annually during the month of January for the upcoming February through January.
Most confinement feeding operations that need to apply for a construction permit are subject to the matrix. For more information on which operations are affected, check the DNR website under animal feeding operations at www.iowadnr.gov/afo. Look under Confinements - Construction Requirements – Permitted - Master Matrix.
Additional information for counties is available on the Iowa State Association of Counties website at www.iowacounties.org under master matrix – construction evaluation.
At the DNR, contact Jerah Sheets at 515-313-8909 or email@example.com.

Within the EU, there are various forms of cooperation between the Member States. In order to understand the EU, it is necessary to realise that at an overall level there are two different forms of cooperation, which bind the countries in different ways. The type of cooperation involved will depend on which treaty forms the basis for the cooperation.
Part of what makes the EU so unique in international politics is what is known as supranational cooperation. Supranational cooperation means that rules can be made in the EU which have a direct impact on the Member States and thereby also a direct effect on the citizens of the Member States. EU cooperation relating to the internal market, agriculture, fisheries, etc. are examples of areas in which there is supranational cooperation. The provisions relating to this cooperation are set out in the EC Treaty.
There is also what is known as intergovernmental cooperation, which is the traditional form of international cooperation between counties. Basically, intergovernmental cooperation means that the rules that are adopted only bind the States. This means that the Danish Parliament must approve the EU's intergovernmental rules before they can have a direct effect on the citizens of
Intergovernmental EU cooperation is used in political areas where it might be difficult for countries to enter into a form of cooperation as close as supranational cooperation. Intergovernmental cooperation is therefore used in areas of police cooperation, legal cooperation relating to criminal cases and the Common Foreign and Security Policy. The provisions relating to this cooperation are set out in the EU Treaty.

Writing Center
Library West, 202C
Phone: (239) 590-7141
Email: email@example.com
The FGCU Writing Center assists student writers through learning-based writing consultations. Our primary goals are to help students improve their abilities to think independently, to write critically, and to learn and implement strategies that will assist them in producing effective writing assignments. We want to help students improve overall skills rather than merely work on one specific paper. Our consultants provide strategies and practice that help students to improve their ability to revise independently.
Writing consultants can assist student writers with the following:
Writing Center sessions allow students to work one-on-one with a consultant. Sessions are approximately 30 minutes in length and are available on a walk-in basis. The writer is an active participant in the session. After a session in which the writer and consultant work on one or two goals defined by the writer, students are expected to produce writing independently. Writing consultants can help writers identify issues of style and mechanics; however, they do not edit or proofread.

Crackle is one of the few legit apps on the market that provides completely free streaming of television shows, movies, and other video content. Sure, it's ad-supported, and programs are occasionally interrupted by commercials, but considering the amount of content on offer, it's well worth it. The bad thing is that none of it is in HD.
If you've used Netflix or HBO Go on Android, then you'll probably notice that Crackle's user interface is similarly simple and intuitive. The Home screen starts you off with featured content, while the main navigation buttons lead to pages with Movies, Shows, and your personal Watchlist. Content is laid out in an attractive tiled thumbnail view, or you can switch to a basic list view, if you like.
Because Crackle is completely free, it doesn't exactly offer all of the latest and greatest shows and movies for streaming. That said, it still has a wide selection of programs available, and not all of them are obscure. For instance, I spotted old TV favorites like "Seinfeld," "Sanford and Son," and "The Three Stooges," plus a few newer hits like "Homeland," "Dexter," and "The Walking Dead." Of course, you won't be able to find every episode for every series, but in many cases, you'll get a dozen or so to choose from. A newer series like "Dexter," though, might only offer an episode or two.

Happy to report we are up and running here at the Momental Studio, aka, the power is back! I spent part of my morning watching national news of the devastation in parts of New Jersey, Vermont and beyond. I cannot help but feel lucky as so many are suffering so much. Our small blip in electricity seems miniscule. Just the same, thank you to everyone for being so kind and patient for the past few days!
As promised I am thrilled to share a special project with you. One that, when I look at each image I am transported to a magical place with warm sand and salty air. A place where daylight dinner party turns a small group into instant friends who chat into the wee hours. Cortnie from Canvas and Canopy Events messaged me privately on twitter months ago after seeing this invitation design. She asked if I wanted to get involved with a project. No details were shared at the time but Cortnie and I have a common artful affinity for visual details so I did not hesitate in saying YES!
Soon I learned that the shoot was intended for Rue Magazine and before I knew it, I was diving into creating painted paper pieces on authentic papyrus! Cortnie and the Rue team had their hands full finding Caleb the camel, but I am so thrilled they did. Isn't he just gorgeous?
Cortnie traveled to Jordan earlier this year and returned with loads of inspiration from her trips to spice markets, archaeological sites and beyond. Here is a bit of the inspiration I was sent to inspire the stationery design.
A peek at the pieces I created using a new hand drawn pattern of triangles and swirls…
Check back later this week for more on the table design, lounge in the sand and more Caleb of course!

As many of you might know if you follow on twitter or are a Facebook friend, the Momental Studio is… well down, but most certainly not out. We lost power early Sunday morning along with nearly 50,000 other Northeastern Pennsylvania residents. I am happy to report that we are virtually damage free and are simply finding our way through the nuisance of being without light, water and of course the beloved internet. So many in our area and across the country did not fare as well as we did so my heart goes out to all of the families suffering. Also, thank you to so many who have reached out to offer words of encouragement during this time.
You may experience a delay in email and phone correspondence but if you know the Momental Girls, you know we will be in touch at the earliest possible moment.
So as I work on a tiny monitor from college that now resides at my childhood home (complete with power) I realize my blogging schedule will be a bit unpredictable this week due to the unexpected events of late. So for now I offer you a peek into the fun story to come later this week…
I was brought into this project for the latest issue of Rue Magazine alongside the incredible Cortnie of Canvas and Canopy Events and the incomparable Jose Villa.
This shot seems to summarize how I feel today. A bit lost, but surprisingly peaceful. Thank you. XOXO
Alice has infiltrated the wedding world and it seems she may be here to stay. From David Tutera's Alice in Wonderland Wedding to Annie Leibovitz's artful fashion shoot for Vogue we are left inspired and continue to be energized by this design concept. Brides spanning the globe are crafting wedding tea parties, mad-hatted grooms and tea cup adorned stationery at a staggering pace. We've seen it all. A certain Momental Bride earlier this year chose to walk the aisle with white rabbit in hand verses the traditional bloomed bouquet. So I felt it appropriate to yet again post about the Alice wedding phenomena. Have you missed my Alice chatter before? Take a look here and here.
So to me as of late there seems to be a divide in Alice in Wonderland wedding inspiration. The first is a more themed, in-your-face reference to Alice. Brides are wearing blue, grooms in distinctive top hats and and to some extremes both are literally acting the part. In these cases we're designing whimsically sketched and watercolored characters to create scenes full of fantastical extremes.
Oversized blooms and Alice's quizzical presence tend to inspire these Brides time and time again. In these more themed events, the color palette tends to rely heavily on the rich, saturated tones seen in all renditions of the film from Disney's classic to Tim Burton's modern fantasy feature.
On the other side of this Alice divide, classic Brides are indulging in the craze but more subtly. It seems they simply cannot resist the sweetly-edgy vibe that Alice presents but while holding fast to their more traditional sensibilities. Limited color palettes and an absence of direct reference to the movie's characters seem to personify these design projects. Mindy Weiss knows just what we are talking about. Check out the sweet Alice soiree she planned.
Here a simple reference to the scary blooms, as I like to call them are all that is needed to conjure an Alice in Wonderland wedding vibe…
So what type of Alice bride are you?
Love the shimmering, tone on tone sophistication of this palette!
Envelopments Paper, Momental Menu, PluraBelle Calligraphy
We spend months designing highly custom invites for our Brides and see tons of inspiration images, sketches from florists etc but often never the finished look. Magdalena shared her Equestrian chic event in Poland and we were enchanted. Simplicity and sophistication are two words that seem to epitomize the celebration. As of late themed weddings seem to be evolving into less structured more eclectic events but having a look at this wedding will makes a romantic case for theme once again, if just for a moment…
What was your inspiration for your colors and/or theme?
Because this one day is all about Bride and Groom, we decided to choose what we really
like. Thus, the presence of equestrian themes was a must! A significant addition was a
bow (which I'm crazy about). For we both like pastels, we decided to choose the main
one (pale pink) and combine it with beige, white and grey or black (for contrast when
Tell us about the one thing you would not change about your wedding, and what is
the one thing you would change if you could?
The sure thing I would never change about my wedding is the Groom, of course!
Ok, ok… let's be serious… I would never choose another place, date, stationery
creator, photographer or video operator. Actually, everything was even better than
I've imagined. And, surprisingly, instead of being nervous, we were really enjoying the
ceremony and reception.
The only improvement to the wedding would be an additional week of celebration! :
How did your stationery play a role in your wedding?
The invitations created by Momental Girls were a perfect prelude to the wedding itself.
They acquainted the guests with main colors and themes of the event what made them
excited about all the things to come. For the invites reflected our taste and unique
passion for horses, they were very personal and so extraordinary. They're just a keeper!
I also have to say that thanks to you the process of creating the stationery was pure fun
and joy during (sometime difficult and stressful) wedding preparations!
Who was your photographer and your florist?
My photographer in Poland was Adam Wita (a great team – truly professional, discrete
and with priceless ability to make Bride, Groom and the guests feel comfortable and
relaxed while being "observed" by the camera).
The main florist and coordinator was my Mom! When it comes to the flowers and
decorations everything she touches changes into miracle. I couldn't imagine anyone else
to take care of that part of the wedding!
Thank you so much to Magdalena for sharing this incredibly sweet and romantic collection of moments with us.

Matterhorn Water Bottle

Uh oh. I'm getting ready to place an order. I may have to have one o' those.
That's beautiful
My... The Crew Has been Busy!
I was one of the testers as well. I used mine for about 2 or 3 weeks til my husband snagged it :)
I have been using one for a while too and it is the nicest bottle like this I have seen.
I like the lid closure but did not think I would at first.
After carrying it around for weeks in a Synapse or S.E. I have not had it open on me yet without me trying to!
Thanks Again!
Oh, wow. Something for a later order, since I just received my bag order today!.
Ooooh, I think this will tip me into placing another Tom Bihn order. This is a must have.
Adding this to my list aling with the nook color pouch! I placed my order a week too early I guess.
I too was a tester, I was skeptical at first, I'm not a fan of bottles with coating, but this one has performed beautifully. Like AVService, I also wasn't sure of the closure, it's so simple and quick it seems like it wouldn't hold, but it has not failed. With a keystrap through one of the loops it's secure in my Swifts and other bags with no WB holder too.
Is it insulated? If you put ice in it, does it stay dry or does it sweat?
It is beautiful, but I need my water bottle to carry ice water & NOT sweat!

The Philippines economy under Ferdinand Marcos and Fidel Ramos
Reign of Ferdinand Marcos, who presided over Philippines from 1965 to 1986, saw a stoppage of productivity as well as the Philippines economy growth, as a result of high levels of corruption gripping this country at that point in time. It was in such a bad state that its economic growth rate plummeted below that of a number of South East Asian economies that had not been doing well till then. Fidel Ramos tried to rectify that situation and was able to help Philippine economy register one of its highest gross domestic product growth rate in many years.
The Philippines economy in 1998
In fiscal 1998, The Philippines economy faced a critical situation as a result of after effects of financial crisis that had gripped Asian countries at that time. There were a number of natural disasters that contrived to bring down the Philippines economy. Growth rate was negative – it was -0.6 percent in 1998 compared to 5.2 percent in 1997. However, situation improved in financial year 1999, when this rate became 3.4 percent. There was a major bank failure in fiscal 2000 and in next financial year, President Joseph Estrada vacated his office. These factors contributed to a lower rate of growth.

Very good
The hotel was clean, spacious, a short walk to the shops and train station and staff were very helpful.
Only 3 out of the four guests were allowed to log onto the internet
Location is good, quality of food very good.
TV is unusable. All inputs are blocked so you cannot watch any pictures there younhave taken during a day. Not even to play you own movie. Quality of rented movies is bad. Screen ratio is not correct so the picture looks fat and strange. You cannot even adjust brightness so dark scenes i was not able to see at all. Price of rented movies is about 17usd which is more than if you buy the movie in a shop. And that is for 1 view only. They should better write there is no TV in a room.
This hotel has the best location close to the all the Hollywood's best tourist spots and close to metro, local and tourist buses. great gym and heated outdoor pool are just a free of the great things about this hotel.
Excellent location. Beds super comfy. Concierge so friendly and helpful. Appreciated ability to check in early after long flight from australia.
Beds so comfy that we didn't want to get up!!
Almost everything
Didnt like the cold lighting in room # 613
We were very happy with the location, quality of the hotel, room size, cleanliness and the impressive and prompt service from all members of staff that we dealt with which really added to the experience.
Travelling with 3 children created an issue with only being allowed 3 devices for Wi-Fi per day as my husband and I needed Wi-Fi as well. Throughout our entire 4 week stay in the US, this was the only hotel that had such a restriction.
Off Course Location 2 min to walk of fame. They upgraded my room to Hollywood sign view because the receptionist recognized after staying 4 days one week before this stay.the room was big and cozy .
Nothing serious but this room needs more lighting more then a normal room as it is bigger.
Clean room ..comfortable and soft bed..very good location close to walk of famous stars..
Very bad room service staff. .very bad concierge staff
Excellent facilities and convenient location to Hollywood Boulevard
Nice location and good View
High price rude Staff Check out at 11 AM
it was clean,friendly, great location.
not that i didn't like, but a laundry room to do you own laundry would be great.
The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were very clean. Staff was friendly. Loved how accessible it was go get to shopping/the metro
Once we got neighbors in the room next to us where we had the attached door we could hear EVERYTHING. Also, $25 for a SMALL Buffett is a little ludicrous
Location location really can't complain. Friendly staff
Internet was hit and miss in the bedroom need to always go to foyer.
Comfortable beds Fairly central location
Parking Not very welcoming feel about it.
The location was perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel. The size of the suite was very comfortable given that we had 2 young children who needed space to move around.
The food needs improvement. We ordered room service on our first night and we were dissatisfied with the quality. The same goes for breakfast. We requested for a kettle for our baby but to our surprise they said they don't have it. This is a bit strange since most hotels I've stayed in were able to supply a kettle when needed. Although they gave us a microwave which suited our purpose in the end.
Our view was amazing, the bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious. Room service was delicious and not obscenely overpriced. It was a perfect location to ring in the New Year!
The room we booked listed a sitting room but upon arriving in our first room, there was no sitting room and our view looked out at another building. Plus the bathroom looked like what you'd find in a Best Western. We went down to the concierge to inquire about the sitting area and they informed us that the desk in the room was the sitting area. What?! A desk and a sitting area are two different things. Luckily, they upgraded our room which turned out really well for us.
It was a great place to stay in Hollywood with everything so close. We had an amazing view from our window. The room was classy and comfortable.
provision of warm water(to wash and cleanup) should not be something guests have to beg for. everywhere i harve travelled-both in developed and developing nations -hotel guests can take for granted that they would be supplied water to wash/shower . it was not so during our visit. for the 4 days we were guests-there was no enough warm water to wash. everytime we complained(to roomservice/receptionist)-we are promised someone was coming up to sort out the problem.throughout our 4 day visit-nobody came. we endured the situation-hoping it would be corrected the following day. for 3 days-the shower warm water was dropping in trickles. then on the final day there was no warm water flow(either from the tap on the shower) AT ALL.this was @ the height/peak of winter with a minimum temperature of about 3 degrees celcius on january 1st,2015. the reception staff (on duty the morning of 1st january,2015) was very sympathetic and was going to relocate us to another room where they could provide us warm water to wash. unfortunately, our airport shuttle bus was less than 40 minutes away.so we had no choice but to leave hollywood -unwashed and unfreshened-whole of the family of five. the receptionist gesture(presumably on advise of the hotel management) to discount us $50-from our hotel bill is acknowledged and appreciated. sincerely , we would have preferred a good warm morning shower instead-as was expected of the un-negotiable responsibility of the hotel to us while we were guests.
your hotel is highly graded(4 +star) -as per staff efficiency,hotel location, world class amenities etc. if you are experiencing difficulties in supplying basic needs to your clients ( who like us) had put away hard-earned money to luxuriate for a few days @ hollywood) then close shop or reduce your reservations until you can set your house in order.
We have just returned from the Loews what a great hotel. Location is just perfect near to the Walk of fame Chinese theatre. The shopping mall beneath the hotel is good for eating shopping and views of the hollywood sign is great for pictures. We loved our stay at the Loews and will certainly return in the future.
Location. View to Hollywood sign. Helpful staff. Clean, comfortable, modern room. Free wifi. Fast valet parking.
Had a great time, weekend by knowledgeble staff, very helpful, perfect location getting about, good value, excellent view of the hollywood sign

Electromagnetic radiation is energy transferred by electromagnetic waves (waves consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields moving at the speed of light). Solar energy is electromagnetic radiation. All of the electromagnetic waves making up electromagnetic radiation are called the electromagnetic spectrum; infrared radiation and visible light are part of this spectrum.
In this project, you will determine the effect of color on the absorption and emission of infrared radiation in solar energy. You will discover how the surface area of an object affects how much infrared radiation it will absorb. You will also compare infrared radiation from space to infrared radiation from Earth's surface.
Getting Started
Purpose: To determine the effect of color on the absorption of infrared radiation.
- two 4-by-4-inch (10-by-10-cm) squares of construction paper, 1 black, 1 white
- 2 thermometers
- transparent tape
- scissors
- 6-by-12-inch (15-by-30-cm) piece of heavy cardboard or a board of comparable size (size is not critical)
- walnut-size piece of clay
- pencil
- watch
- Make a paper cover for one of the thermometers by wrapping a single layer of the black paper around the thermometer's bulb, folding the bottom edge over the end of the thermometer. Secure the paper with tape. You have a prepared a black paper-thermometer system.
- Repeat step 1, using the white paper and the second thermometer. You have prepared a white paper-thermometer system.
- Record the thermometer reading on each thermometer as the starting temperatures in a Paper-Thermometer Systems Data table like Table 23.1.
- Lay the paper-thermometer systems side by side on the cardboard and secure them with tape.
- Use the clay to stand the pencil vertically at one end of the cardboard.
- Take the cardboard outside on a sunny day and place it on the ground. The surface of each packet on the cardboard should be at a 900 angle to the Sun's rays. To obtain this angle, use dirt to elevate the end of the cardboard where the pencil stands so that the pencil casts no shadow, or the shadow is only a small area around the base of the pencil. Adjust the cardboard periodically during the experiment to keep its surface at or near a 900 angle to the Sun's rays.
- Every minute for a total of 5 minutes, read the temperature on each thermometer and record it in the table. Then, every 10 minutes for 60 minutes, read the temperature on each thermometer and record it in the data table.
The temperature of the black paper-thermometer system changes faster. In time, the temperatures of both systems stop changing, with the black one at a higher temperature.
A wave is a periodic disturbance in a medium (substance through which something acts) or space (region without a medium). Waves transfer energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic radiation is energy transferred by electromagnetic waves; it can travel through space. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves moving at the speed of light and consisting of rapidly alternating electric and magnetic fields at right angles to each other and to the direction in which the waves are traveling. (Transverse waves look like water waves in which the vibrations are perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling.) The wavelength (distance between corresponding points of two successive waves) is shown in Figure 23.2. Electromagnetic radiation is also called radiant energy. The range of wavelengths over which electromagnetic radiation extends is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum, in order from short to long waves, consists of gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
Solar energy is electromagnetic radiation from the Sun containing the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including large amounts of infrared radiation (electromagnetic radiation whose wavelengths lie just beyond the red portion of visible light; also called heat waves). When infrared radiation is absorbed by an object, the object becomes hotter because its thermal energy increases. Absorption of infrared radiation by surface molecules accelerates their motion. As the movement of molecules in a material increases, the thermal energy and therefore the temperature of the material increase.
- In this investigation, infrared radiation is absorbed by the paper thermometer systems. This is evident by their increase in temperature. The only difference between the two systems is the color of the paper. The temperature of the black system rose at a much faster rate than that of the white system, indicating that the black paper was absorbing more infrared radiation than the white paper. When the systems became hotter than the surrounding air, they lost heat (transfer of thermal energy from one object to another) by conduction, convection, and radiation (the process by which hot bodies lose heat in the form of infrared radiation). In time the temperature of each system reached a thermal equilibrium, the state of a system in which the gain and loss of energy are equal. The temperature of the black system at thermal equilibrium is higher than that of the white system at thermal equilibrium because the black system has absorbed more infrared radiation from the light. Thus the black system has a high rate of energy inflow.

I have a 2 ft tall common lilac (Syringa vulgaris) that I planted in a large pot this spring. It's one of those really big decorative (but styrofoamish - I forget what they're called - you know, supposed to look like a concrete urn but are fake) pots. My intention was to plant it in late summer when I got back from a long vacation, but I never did.
Now I'm wondering what to do. Will it survive the winter in this pot? Should I bring it inside? Should I go ahead and plant now? In my previous experience, fall plantings of roses and other shrubs haven't done well here in MN. What should I do with it at this point? I really don't want it to die. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you have a spot for it in the garden picked out, I would go ahead and plant it now. Water it in well, put a layer of mulch on it and call it a season. I just came inside from planting a Japanese Lilac Tree. I'm not too worried about it. |
I agree. Go ahead and plant it now. |
Or do as I suggested in the thread about clematis in pot above... |

I have to tell you that I had one survive in a plastic pot over the winter last year. I had received it free as a bonus from a good nursery, but just never got it in the ground. Lo and behold, it leafed out this spring and I finally got the poor thing in the ground in the last two weeks. I certainly would plant it now, if I were you, but I just wanted to emphasize that they really are a hardy plant! |
