Rated 5 out of 5 by BellasOlasBaubles Beautiful, well thought out bag
I originally had last season's version of this bag, which after just two weeks broke. However, I took it to the Charlotte Tory Burch store and since I was still in the timeframe to return, they graciously exchanged it for me for this version. It has been a DREAM. It has enough space for all of my needs. I'm a jewelry designer so I frequently carry tools, paperwork, orders etc. and there is plenty of room for everything. It does get heavy but is structured well and a heavy duty bag. The material used is perfect, especially if you spill something on the outside of it because you can just wipe it right up. I have loved this bag, and am now looking into getting the Black one since I have the Brown!

I made myself wait a few weeks before writing this to ensure what I first thought when I received this gorgeous bag. It is perfect. Size, weight, ability to organize, and the beauty of it. I don't think that I have been anywhere yet, that someone hasn't complimented this bag. Even my husband thinks it is nice!

Such a perfect size!! The shoulder strap works as a crossbody as well and fits everything I need perfectly.
I bought the luggage color and it goes with everything I wear, both casual and dressy.

This bag is just a must-have in every wardrobe. It's simple and elegant: the perfect timeless piece.
I put so many things in my bags and in this one everything fits perfectly. I use this bag for meetings and in private as well and the two side compartments are so useful for papers or skripts.
the quality is perfect and worth the price.

I have this bag in luggage and it is such a gorgeous bag/colour/shape!
It's a classic bag and is perfect whenever you want to add polish to an outfit.
It can get a bit heavy because it is a thick leather and has a fair amount of hardware but, it's nothing that's unmanageable but compared to some of my other Tory's it's on the heavier side.
It holds it's shape and the only thing I wish is that it had feet on the bottom so that when you set it down the bottom doesn't get worn out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by itsdebbzx0915 overall great tote!
I really like this bag - at first, I originally got the smaller version but I realized it couldn't really fit anything. This bag is able to fit a lot more items and still looks very classy.
I sometimes use it as a crossbody since the strap is a bit long, and other times just carry it by the handles.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this bag! If you don't like long straps, I would recommend getting it customized so that you can wear it as like a shoulder bag or make it slightly longer (if that's what you're looking for).

The Daily Troll: Tunnel trouble measured. Big help for homeless kids. Eastside Catholic firing: Advantage protesters.
Bertha rock-ed
A rock that lodged in the waterfront tunnel-boring machine was just the right size to create problems, according to The Seattle Times. A report says the boulder was a half-foot wider than the 3-foot width boulder size the machine is designed to handle easily — without smashing the rock and passing it on to a conveyor belt. So, Bertha's boulder was just big enough that it needed to be chewed up by the machine's cutting face, which is sitting in some especially loose soils, which have allowed the rock to move around and escape pulverization. That said, there's still no one problem that explains all Bertha's woes. — J.C.
Support for homeless youth
Propelled by federal funding cuts to programs that serve King County's homeless youth, three Seattle philanthropies have stepped in with $450,000. The money, from the Raikes Foundation, Ballmer Family Giving and the Thomas V. Giddens Jr. Foundation, will fund street outreach programs in 24 cities, and drop-in services at Auburn Youth Services, Friends of Youth and YouthCare, three of the Northwest's premier service providers for runaway and homeless youth. On any given night, more than 700 young people are without a home. "There are homeless youth in every zip code in King County," said Terry Pottmeyer, president and CEO of Friends of Youth. "Our mobile outreach team finds youth sleeping in parks, camping in the woods, and trying to stay warm at the library." — M.B.
Sister Mary Scapegoat
The recent resignation of Eastside Catholic president Sister Mary Tracy is creating more momentum for protests over the removal of vice principal Mark Zmuda. (He married his gay partner and wham-bam he was gone.) Sister Mary Tracy stepped down early this week. The school's board of directors, in a statement, said she wanted to leave so that the school could move "forward on a positive path." As Joel Connelly of seattlepi.com notes, the Catholic Archdiocese had "saddled" her with responsibility for the December departure of Zmuda. School parents will get a chance to talk to board members about these developments at a meeting Thursday, The Seattle Times reports. Meantime, those activist Eastside students are asking supporters at schools across the country to wear orange (one of Eastside's colors) on Jan. 31 in support of Zmuda. — J.C.
What? No Blue Thunder?!
The drum line that supports the Seahawks at home games (ever so loudly) will apparently not be going to the Super Bowl this year, even though the team took drummers to the 2006 championship. Blue Thunder supporters have launched a Facebook page to urge the Hawks to bring the percussionists to New York (OK, New Jersey) for the game and have already received sympathetic coverage from KING 5. C'mon, Paul Allen, what's another 30 or so people for the trip? — J.C.
Thanks and hint for McGinn
An event late Wednesday afternoon will thank Mike McGinn for his service as mayor — and raise money to help him pay off campaign debt. The latest campaign disclosure report on the city elections website showed the former Seattle mayor $20,000 in debt as of Jan. 10. The Stranger (which endorsed him) also suggests that people "should maybe whisper something" to Mike about running for City Council in 2015. Not too soon to think about, apparently: The elections site already shows seven active campaigns for council positions in 2015. — J.C.
China: Sharing the bad air
Air pollution from China is blowing our way. A new study says it should reach the West Coast in just a few days, propelled by high-level currents. KUOW notes that the level of China's exported product is small compared to our own locally-produced pollutants — and extremely small compared to what Chinese industries and power plants are belching all over its own citizens. Still, we're happy to hear that Beijing is banning the construction of new power plants, cement factories and oil refineries in the city. Seattle-based Grist.org says Beijing's notoriously bad pollution may be shaving — or stealing — up to 16 years from residents' lives. — J.C.

"There are homeless youth in every zip code in King County," said Terry Pottmeyer, president and CEO of Friends of Youth.
Not for long, Terry. King County is going to "end homelessness" by 2015. At least that's what they said when they took the money.

On the contrary, there is one problem that explains "Bertha's" woes -- a dumb public policy decision based on a farcical notion of "transportation improvement" (when it actually makes the transportation system less efficient and less safe), seasoned liberally with incompetence, greed and duplicity.

TUCSON - Today, Mayor Jonathan Rothschild announced that IBM has awarded the City of Tucson and Tucson Water with a "Smarter Cities Challenge" Grant.
The IBM Smarter Cities Challenge is a competitive grant program, which will provide the City of Tucson with access to IBM's top experts to work on ways Tucson can engage its customers and deliver public services more effectively.
"As water provider to a desert community, Tucson Water has long been at the forefront of managing water resources," says Mayor Rothschild in response. "We are honored to be recognized by IBM for our commitment to conservation and continuous improvement in service delivery."
IBM is awarding a total of $50 million worth of technology and services to 100 cities worldwide through 2013, according to a news release from the City of Tucson. City leaders will be provided with analysis and recommendations from teams of specially-selected IBM experts to support sustainable growth, better delivery of public services, more citizen involvement, and improved efficiency.
The City of Tucson was selected for its proposal to merge two technology improvements designed to increase water reliability. One of which will allow customers to monitor water use better, and the other will improve the operating efficiencies of the utility.
Currently, Tucson Water replaces old water meters with Automatic Meter Reading meters that can be read by electronic equipment carried by a meter reader walking or driving a route. This allows many more meters to be read in a day compared to have to physically read each meter, according to the news release. The new meters are also compatible with Advanced Metering Infrastructure technology, which will allow water use data to be collected remotely using wireless technology. Data collected through AMI systems can be accessed by customers through the internet, smartphones, or other technologies, and allows water use to be constantly monitored on a regular basis.
Customers are delivered water by Tucson Water through a network that includes more than 4,000 miles of pipelines, 220 wells, 114 booster stations, and 55 storage facilities to over 225,000 customers, the release states. A System Control and Data Acquisition program includes hardware and software that allows for the various elements to be monitored and controlled from a single point. Currently, Tucson Water is in the process of upgrading its existing SCADA system to increase operational efficiencies, including reducing the amount of energy required to deliver water to customers.
"Having these two technologies, digital water meters and SCADA, communicate with each other will benefit customers by allowing them to actually monitor water use on a daily basis. In addition, Tucson Water will be able to provide customers with immediate notification of suspected leaks or anomalous levels of water use," says Tucson Water Director Alan Forrest. "This will be complimented by the SCADA system's ability to monitor water use at levels ranging from individual accounts to larger delivery zones, helping us move water around in a more efficient manner, while reducing our energy costs."

Starting psychotherapy is like beginning to create a home inside yourself: a place you can feel grounded, be yourself, accept yourself for who you are. With time the relationship between you and your therapist can become safe enough to explore issues that you haven't wanted to face alone or haven't been fully aware of. Space can open up to consider more of your experience and actualize more of your potential. You can start to make choices instead of feeling propelled into the same old experiences. As a licensed therapist I am prepared to work with you to find out what it is you desire in life, who you have become and who you want to be. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and have offices in both San Rafael and San Francisco. Please call me to set up an initial consultation appointment or e-mail if you have questions.
The purpose of this site is to provide you with information about myself and how I work. I'd also like to offer resources and information that may be useful to you in the process of choosing a therapist or thinking about a problem.
Beyond that, I'd like to acknowledge an underlying conviction of my own: that it is worth it—worth your time and energy, struggle and cost to engage in therapy with a trained and experienced guide. Entering into therapy is a step toward knowing yourself better and effectively facing what life presents to you.
It is common for doubts to come up … (continued)

The impeller on my snow blower wont engage when I pull the lever. The drive pulley spins but the belt doesn't move. All the shear pins have been checked and rechecked. I replaced the belt and still nothing. There is nothing blocking my impeller from moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mark |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure I understand how the drive pulley spins but the belt doesn't. Spins by hand? Is the idler pulley going in far enough to tension the belt? Is there a set screw loose on the shaft that turns the impeller? Not enough information to go on. |
Thanks for the reply. The Drive Pulley spins when the machine is running however when I engage the auger system from the handle area the belt doesn't move at all or it moves for a quick second and than stop. I am not sure about the idler pulley or set screw situation. How do i check for that? Mark |
The drive pulley is closest to the engine. Usually they are always under tension by an idler pulley. The next pulley outbound is for the auger. It should not spin unless the handlebar control is engaged/pressed down. With the motor off, operate the hand control and watch for the idler pulley to move inward and push the belt inward. The tension causes the belt to spin. If the belt spins with the pulley, your problem is either in the shaft that goes forward to the auger differential or in some cases, the set screw that holds the shaft to a pipe collar is loose or a drive pin is broken. If the idler pulley doesn't cause enough tension on the auger belt, it can be adjusted along the cable length, or in some cases, the idler pulley can be moved. This would be seen at the carriage bolt that goes through the idler pulley. If you loosen it, you can move it back and forth in a slot. It's self-evident which system you have. If the belt and auger pulley are turning and the augers aren't, you could also have a stripped gear inside the differential up front in the center. |
baymee, Thanks for the advice, I will be looking at is closely this weekend when I have the time. The drifting snow is not fun to continuously remove every other day. I hope I can pin point the problem and fix it this weekend. |
Shown are a typical set screw arrangement. You may or may not have them. They are on the engine side of the front end. The idler pulley (black) presses the belt and forces the auger pulley to turn. It is the outermost pulley and controlled by a cable from the handlebars. The one closer to the engine is for the wheel drive and is auto-tensioned. |
Hey everyone thanks for all the help. Through a more complete investigation I discovered that the impeller is slightly bent and is rubbing on the housing. Do I have to completely remove the front auger and gear drive to get the impeller out? Or is there a more simple way to do that? Thanks |
Most likely you'll have to separate the unit like in the picture above. The pulleys don't often come off easily. Use Never Seize on the shaft for the new pulley. |
Thanks the bearing is stuck on the impeller shaft. How do you remove it so the shaft and the impeller/auger assembly slide out of the whole housing? Thanks Mark |
Your bearing might be encased between two round covers and held by 3 bolts. Remove the bolts after you've removed the front end. On mine, I removed the bolts that hold the bushings on the left and right side of the auger housing. Place the auger housing face down and support it so the auger is a few inches off the ground, but the housing is in contact with something solid. Using a brass drift and hammer moderately hit the shaft and get the pulley off. Then you'll easily figure out a way to get the bearing off. |
Thanks, I got it off with a bearing puller. ($20.00)Than I had to heat and bang with a hammer the bent spots on the impeller, I also used my bench grinder to further ensure it fit. I had the impeller and bearing out at least 4 different times as the impeller needed minor tweaking so it no longer got hung up on the housing. Well it's back together and works great. It's perfect timing since we got 8 inches of snow last night and another 15 inches today. Anyway thanks for all the help. Mark |

It was this time a year ago when general manager Dave Gettleman first left his mark on the Panthers.
After holing up in his office and watching film for most of his first two months on the job, Gettleman made a series of personnel moves last March to shape a Panthers team that ended the franchises four-year playoff drought last fall.
Now Gettleman, a long-time scout and personnel man before the Panthers gave him his first GM job at 61, is in the process of trying to do it again.
Much like last offseason, Gettleman is trying to patch together a secondary and plug holes along the line (the defensive front last year, the offensive line this year) and at wide receiver.
The difference this year is he also has to replace two of the best players in team history Steve Smith, the franchises receiving leader, and left tackle Jordan Gross, who went to his third Pro Bowl in his 11th season before retiring in February.
Gross indicated to the Observer in Hawaii he had planned to play another season before Gettleman asked him to restructure his contract and take a pay cut last year.
But it was Gettlemans decision to cut the popular Smith that shook the teams fan base and made Gettleman the object of national criticism when three other receivers left via free agency.
Gettlemans reaction to the piñata-like beating he took publicly?
What was I thinking? I was thinking we were doing the right thing, Gettleman said this past week at the league meetings in Orlando. We had a plan. We had a philosophy. We made a decision and we were going to stick with it.
His plan last year worked, largely because of his signings of backup players looking for an opportunity.
Receiver Ted Ginn Jr., a former first-round pick, was coming off two terrible seasons in San Francisco.
Safety Mike Mitchell had been a backup for four years in Oakland.
Cornerback Drayton Florence was a proven veteran, but he was 32 and returning from an injury-plagued season in Detroit.
Diminutive corner Captain Munnerlyn re-signed with the Panthers when he couldnt find any better offers.
None of those transactions prompted a spike of PSL sales or a run at the ticket office. But each paid dividends.
Ginn gave the Panthers a deep threat to complement Steve Smith. Mitchell, Munnerlyn and Florence were mainstays in the so-called Legion of Whom secondary.
Ginn, Mitchell and Munnerlyn outperformed their one-year, team-friendly deals and parlayed their success into long-term contracts with other teams this offseason.
Gettlemans plan for this season?
He has not elaborated on that yet. But the Panthers activity during the second wave of free agency provided clues to their thinking.
Having committed $13.1 million to defensive end Greg Hardy (and a total of $29.5 million in salary cap space to the defensive end position), the Panthers are hoping a strong pass rush and dominant front seven will allow to them to assemble a patchwork secondary.
Former New Orleans safety Roman Harper essentially assumes the role of Mitchell, albeit an older, grayer version who will play closer to the line of scrimmage. Cornerback Antoine Cason steps in for Florence on a show me contract after failing to win a starting job during his lone season in Arizona.
Offensively, the Panthers are hoping newly acquired receivers Jerricho Cotchery and Tiquan Underwood can replace the production of Brandon LaFell and Ginn.
But the Panthers are still without successors for Smith and Gross, although Gettleman and coach Ron Rivera expressed confidence last week in Byron Bell shifting from the right side to take over for Gross.
No unbiased observer could look at the current roster and suggest the Panthers are better off than they were at this point a year ago. But with a draft deep at the Panthers two biggest positions of need offensive tackle and receiver Rivera is hopeful.
I think we are headed in the direction of being a better team. There are some things that we have to do, Rivera said. In talking with Dave, we still have time in free agency, time in the draft coming up. And we have some guys on the roster that we are hoping will take the next step and develop.

Safer Meters for Arc Flash
Peter Walsh, PE
Arc flash hazard awareness is a growing trend. Testers and meters are in the mix of everyday equipment that should be examined for safety.
OSHA and NFPA 70E, "Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace," promote new requirements for safe meters. For instance, paragraph 110.4(A)(2) of NFPA 70E refers to using test equipment and their accessories with proper ratings for the work.
A CAT I rating on a meter means it is only rated for use on appliances or bench-top equipment testing. Most electricians use their meter on power distribution wiring that requires a higher CAT rating. The CAT rating is paired with a maximum voltage. The same meter might have a CAT I rating for 600 volts and a CAT II rating for 250 volts.
Using a CAT rating insufficient for the circuit is hazardous and is not in compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70E. Insufficiently rated meters can explode or arc over causing an arc flash. If the meter is equipped with computer connection cables or other accessories, they can cause similar dangers. Meters and testers should be rated for the conditions of use.
An example of a safe clamp-on meter is the AEMC Model 407. It has a CAT IV rating up to 1000 volts. This is suitable for service anywhere in a facility with a power distribution system not exceeding 1000 volts.
This clamp-on records up to 1000 measurements and can download them through Bluetooth technology, which doesn't require hazardous connectors on the instrument. Although this meter has extensive additional features, it has the ratings and functions to make electrical measuring safe.

our library has a ten ft. tall ceiling and is 13 ft. wide. we want one of the walls all bookcases with the bookcase on one end a secret door into a little computer room behind it. i've tried to get someone to do this for us and finally found a company to do it, but their price, including installation and traveling a few hours to install it. this would be unstained maple and not including crown molding, which my builder will supply. this is several thousand over the budget our builder gave us for this bookcase wall and hidden bookcase door so i'm wondering if this is reasonable. or, the other option is that we do the adjacent wall in all bookcases and do this wall in paneling with a hidden jib door. the mystique of the bookcase door is more appealing to me, but i wonder if i should just nix it. any thoughts? |

I think your builder's budget was probably low, as usual for a lot of builder estimates. For 13 foot x 10 foot of fine case goods, that is a bit low to average price. You have the added difficulty of the hidden door in that price, so I think the quote overall is a bit low. Wait! I read it again. It's unfinished? Then it's probably about right. But if this is going to be stained, it should be stained just after the fabrication phase off site in a clean room, not on site. It would be better painted off site too if that's the final finish, but it's doable onsite for paint more than staining would be. I'd expect finishing to add about 2-3K to the price. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, Jun 29, 12 at 22:23
This is probably about on target unfinished. Stuff like this is expensive. I posted the same thought in the kitchen forum, but I think the $1400 would be more well-spent on getting decent working drawings of your kitchen cabinets than $13,000 on a novelty. |
What's in the contract for these bookcases? Was it specified in the contrast for maple? Where are you in the country? |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Fri, Jun 29, 12 at 23:27
We are in NE Ohio. Builder spec'd poplar or birch, but the guy who is doing the rest of the room doesn't work in those species do we arrived in maple since its the common ground. Should I just do a paneled wall with job door and bookcases on adjacent wall, losing the bookcase door? |
The answer to that question is whether or not the bulk of the cost is in the bookcases, or the hidden door. If it is the bookcases, you aren't going to save by moving them to another wall. |

Witch Hunt marks the beginning of the end for Dragon Age: Origins. The downloadable adventure will be the last DLC BioWare releases for the original Dragon Age and finds you in pursuit of one of our favorite party members, the saucy, shapeshifter Morrigan.
Witch Hunt picks up about one year after the conclusion of Dragon Age: Origins. You can start a new main character for this quest, but in doing so, you'll miss out on the opportunity to continue your relationship with Morrigan where it left off. Your search for Morrigan begins at Flemeth's hut, where you discover a Dalish Grey Warden on the hunt for the mysterious shapeshifter and a mythical artifact she's stolen.
During your quest, your loyal Mabari war hound will rejoin you. Ariane, a Dalish elf warrior and Finn, a human mage who finds himself leaving the Circle of Magi for his first real adventure, will also help as you search for the illusive Morrigan. Dragon Age: Origins' snappy dialogue is back in full force. Fans of the saucy back-and-forth between Morrigan and Allistair in the original, can expect to witness some similarly sharp verbal barbs exchanged between the all-too-serious Ariane and the never ending snark from Finn.

Since this DLC adventure will only last about 2 hours, we don't want to spoil anything for Dragon Age fans by giving away too many details. But we will say that the ending in this final chapter will vary greatly depending on how your relationship with Morrigan at the end of Dragon Age: Origins. You'll also get lots of suggested hints about how some characters from the original game might impact the main plot in Dragon Age II.
Witch Hunt is scheduled to release on September 7th for the 360, PS3, and PC. If you're a fan of Morrigan, we highly suggest that you consider downloading this final chapter. In the meantime, you can check out the teaser for Witch Hunt below.

I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

This is a makeover of Cracker Barrel's Chicken & Dumplings. My aunt had created the original recipe which called for 1.75 lb chicken and whole milk. It was always one of my families favorite dinners that I made once in a while on special Sundays. Recently, I decided to try a healthier version of it with lower calories, cholesterol & sodium to see if it would pass the "family test". It did! They couldn't tell the difference. The healthy version of this recipe went down 76 calories, 31mg cholosterol & 1104 mg of sodium per serving.

This is a family favorite around here so I am glad it is reasonable in the cal department with out any changes though I should warn you one cup just isn't enough so make sure you have enough room for at least two. You can replace chicken broth with water to reduce cals more but be warned you lose some of the flavour.

Amazon Could Start Shipping Parcels Before You Buy Them
by Dale WrightAmazon apparently understands its users so well that it wants to be able to ship customers' packages – before they've actually ordered them.
Back in December, Amazon acquired a patent for 'anticipatory package shipping' to be able to begin the process of sending out an order before the customer has clicked to buy. According to Amazon, the way that people shop online is changing and users don't want to have to wait too long to get their orders. Anticipatory shipping would mean that customers wouldn't have to visit physical shops as often, if they needed an item urgently.
This sounds a little bit like an early April Fools' joke, but it actually makes some sense. Amazon would analyse customers' spending habits in a specific area to make a guess at products that they would want to buy but haven't already ordered. These packages would then wait at a shippers' hub until the order was placed.
To figure out what products a certain customer would want, Amazon says it's going to look at what they've previously ordered, what they've searched for but not bought, items they've added to a wish list or to their shopping cart, and even how long they spend looking at a product online. For example, if a user has already bought every novel in a series so far, Amazon might send out the newest title as soon as it's released.
Amazon's been having a big drive recently to cut down customers' shipping times. Back in December, the retailer announced its Amazon Prime Air service – flying drones that would be able to ship users' packages within half an hour of ordering. These drones won't be in place until 2015, and it's likely that we won't see this anticipatory shipping for a few years either. However, it seems that the future of online shopping could change dramatically in coming years – just watch this space.

5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Black Friday (Frugal Friday)
Posted By Jessica Fisher On November 22, 2012 @ 8:00 pm In Frugal Friday,Thanksgiving | 43 Comments
This post was originally published on November 25, 2010:
The mad rush for holiday shopping begins. Retailers want your hard-earned dollars. You want a good deal — and something fun to give loved ones this season.
You have to be the smarter player in this game.
Here are some questions to ask yourself as you shop this holiday weekend:
Remember, "enough is as good as a feast [5]." Repeat that to yourself three times a day. We live in a culture of excess and are often tempted to buy something we like instead of limiting ourselves to the things we truly need.
Don't get me wrong. It's your money to spend. And if you really have it, I think you have the freedom to spend it however you would like.
However, usually we spend money on things that we don't really need OR want. So, examine yourself and your desires first.
I am all for anticipation buying. I stockpile regularly [6] on items that I know our family will use in the very near future. But, I've been burned too many times buying things that we might need a year from now and actually never use.
Think through your purchase. Do you need it right now?
I have a friend who works for a major retailer. She's actually a store manager. And she spoke rather disparagingly about many of the items in their Black Friday ads. She thought the products were junk. Even if it's only ten bucks, why buy junk?
My experience has been that the deals on Black Friday are not a flash in the pan. We usually see comparable sales somewhere throughout the holiday season. Don't feel pressured to buy because the price might go up.
If lugging the kids out in the snow to buy the $3 turtlenecks only to find out that they've all been snatched up is a stressful experience, don't do it. (And yes, it is. Ask me how I know.)
There is a cost to everything. And the stress involved in shopping on busy crowded days can take a toll on us and our families. And it's not a great way to enter the season.
Asking yourself these five questions can help you save money on Black Friday. Be wise, little grasshopper.

Crap how do I post a photo |
One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up. Once your picture has been uploaded, find its image location address (URL) by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. The URL will look something like: http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg. Some sites may even provide the appropriate HTML code in a text box below the photo for your convenience. It will be the one that begins with <a href=... (This code looks different than the code below, because it will actually produce a picture link instead of just a picture.) Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command: If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like: Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (but with the correct image web address). |

Dickinson State football coach Hank Biesiot is a milestone man.
Biesiot goes into Saturday's game against Jamestown College ranked second in the NAIA in all-time wins and hoping to help the team capture its 400th win in school history. With 245 wins to his credit, however, Biesiot is fast approaching another, more impressive milestone. A win over Jamestown would put him with 10 wins of the NAIA's all-time coaching wins record.
Frosty Westering had a 256-81-7 record when Pacific Lutheran left the NAIA for NCAA Division III in 1997. He finished his career with a 305-96-7 record.
Biesiot is the winningest active coach in the NAIA, and has been since 2003. He has the fifth most wins among active four-year college football coaches. John Gagliardi of St. John's (473) is the undisputed wins leader followed by Penn State's Joe Paterno (396), Mount Union's Larry Kehres (291) and Carson-Newman's Ken Sparks (289). Behind Biesiot in fifth place is Albany's Bob Ford (242) while coach Kevin Donley of the NAIA's St. Francis (Ind.) is  right on Biesiot's heels with 239 wins.
DSU would have to stay undefeated all the way to the NAIA Championship game for him to pass Westering this season. So, let's be realistic and say Biesiot passes the mark sometime early next season.

i just wanted to say a word about how cool it is to throw stuff in your compost pile and find stuff growing there later. i have a huge potato plant that sprouted up out of nowhere within a few days... and there's also some fresh new turnip greens sprouting from some old turnips that were no longer good enough to eat. also when you chop onions (for those who don't know already), instead of throwing away the end part (where the "root" is..) bury it in your pile and watch some new ones come up.
i also noticed some purple cabbage growing out of some cabbage ends that got discarded,, it remains to be seen how big they'll get. also, supposedly, you can plant lemongrass you buy from the store & you'll get a whole new plant. there are so many things you can plant & have more of, instead of just throwing them in the trash... what a waste!! anyone else have some good ideas about kitchen cast-offs that can be recycled into new plants.....? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is good for roses to have them near and it is very convienient to just go out and snap off the green shoots for salads and cooking (and a lot nicer than paying for bundles of green onions that so soon turn into a terrifying slime-in-a-bag.) You get a sprouted onion or garlic clove (which by the way your grocer may give you free, just ask. The ones that get sunlight sprout, so they often have them.) and dibble a hole and stick it in. You can just jam it into the ground but I prefer to hide it-let the neighbors think it is a blooming allium. It will come up soon. Now, if you have enough of them scattered around the yard you won't have to buy green onions! Yeah! |

RosaceaNet Spotlight Article What is ocular rosacea?
Rosacea can affect more than your skin. It can affect your eyes. When rosacea develops in the eyes, it is called ocular rosacea. Common symptoms are dry, itchy, and irritated eyes. Some people see flaking and redness along the edge of their eyelids and around their eyelashes. Your eyes may burn or sting. When rosacea develops in the eyes, it can appear in one or both eyes. Some people who get rosacea in their eyes have little or no rosacea on their skin. Most people, however, have had rosacea on their skin for a while. A few people get rosacea in their eyes first and later see rosacea begin on their skin.
Ocular rosacea. When rosacea affects the eyes, you often see blood vessels in the eye and on the eyelid.
Ocular rosacea. Some people develop inflamed cysts (styes) on their eyelids.
(Photos used with permission of the American Academy of Dermatology National Library of Dermatologic Teaching Slides)
There is no way to tell whether a person will get ocular rosacea. If you have rosacea or are having eyes problems, it is important that you:
Keep track of all eye problems. Writing down any problems you have with your eyes can help find ocular rosacea early. Without treatment, rosacea in the eyes sometimes leads to problems. An ulcer can develop on the eye. This can cause an eye infection and even problems seeing. Be sure to tell your dermatologist about any eye problems during your next appointment.
Rosacea affects the eyes in more than half of the people who have rosacea.
Ask if you should have an eye exam. If you have rosacea, ask your dermatologist whether you should have eye exams to check for ocular rosacea.
Signs and symptoms of ocular rosacea If you do not have rosacea on your skin, you can still have it in your eyes. Ocular rosacea tends to come and go. Signs and symptoms of ocular rosacea are: When you look in the mirror you see:
Blood vessels in your eyes and/or eyelids
Red, swollen eyelid with scale that sticks to the eyelash
An inflamed cyst (stye) on your eyelid
Your eyes may have one or more following sensations:
Feel like something is in your eye(s)
Burning or stinging
Dryness (sometimes the eyes are watery)
Sensitivity to light
Blurry vision
When rosacea develops in the eyes, treatment is essential. Your dermatologist can create a treatment plan that alleviates the signs and symptoms of ocular rosacea. Learn more about ocular rosacea: Rosacea Treatment: Eye Problems

Poverty, Abduction and Prostitution In Modern China
High unemployment has led many women, especially women from the rural sector, to enter into a life of prostitution. This problem had been widespread in the pre-Maoist era of China and has resurfaced again in market capitalist China. According to Article 37 of the law on the protection of women, "prostitution or whoring shall be prohibited. It is prohibited for anyone to organize, force, seduce, shelter or introduce a woman to engage in prostitution or employ or shelter a woman to engage in obscene activities with others." (1992) However, the everyday living situations of poor and unemployed women have led them into this life in order to provide for themselves and their children. Many of the prostitutes in China are laid off workers who can not find a job within the economy or rural women who come to the cities looking for better opportunities. In the rural sector, selling of daughters have also resurfaced. In some provinces, the practice of families selling their daughters for a profit to older unmarried men or widowers has become commonplace. In these arrangements, police and government officials are either doing the trading or they are paid to remain quiet about the dealings. It is estimated that at least tens of thousands of women are sold into domestic and sexual slavery each year. Many of these women are never recovered or if they are they are normally to ashamed to go back to their families. According to a New York Times article in 1995, "countless women have been kidnapped from this market in Xian, from similar markets in other cities and from bus stops and train stations in towns all over China. Typically, a woman is lured into the custody of one or more criminal middleman, beaten into submission and delivered to a stranger who will call her his wife." |

Why Is My Pet "Scooting" His Bottom on My Rug! by Dr. Jaime Doherty
Posted on 05/25/2012 | Comments and Reactions
Scooting can be a sign of a number of things. Most commonly, scooting can be a sign their anal glands are bothering them. The anal glands or anal sacs are small glands found near the anus in many mammals, including dogs and cats. Anal sac problems are more common in mid- to smaller- sized dogs, but occasionally seen in larger dogs or cats. Scooting is also common in overweight pets. Anal sacs should empty regularly (and unnoticed) with normal bowel movements. If they don't they may become impacted, infected (abscess) and possibly rupture.
In dogs, these glands are occasionally referred to as "scent glands", because they enable the animals to mark their territory and identify other dogs. The glands can spontaneously empty, especially under times of stress, and create a very sudden unpleasant change in the odor of the dog. When anal sacs fail to empty on a regular basis, it may cause discomfort as the full anal gland pushes on the anus. In such a case, they can be emptied by a groomer or veterinarian. This is an important aspect of dog grooming known as anal sac expressions.
Anal sac expression must be performed to maintain the dog's hygiene and eliminate discomfort if your dog is not expressing them on their own. Discomfort is evidenced by the dog dragging its posterior on the ground ("scooting"), licking or biting at the anus, sitting uncomfortably, having difficulty sitting or standing, or chasing its tail.
Discomfort may also be evident with impaction or infection of the anal glands. Anal gland impaction results from blockage of the duct leading from the gland to the opening. Anal gland infection results in pain, swelling, and sometimes abscessation and fever. Treatment is by expression of the gland, lancing of an abscess, and antibiotics and antibiotic infusion into the gland in the case of infection.
There are other possible causes for scooting or anal discomfort: a perianal tumor that is infected or bothersome, irritation from diarrhea, parasites, or matted hair. A scooting pet should be examined by your vet to rule out these potential problems.

After my cat knocked off two flats of onion seedlings, and others died from overwatering, I wasn't sure if I'd be selling onions this year. But my perennial onions have sprouted vigorously. So, I'm wondering whether anyone grows perennial onions for the farmers' markets. If so, when do you harvest, and what parts do you sell? Is it just a waste of space to increase my perennial onion beds - are the annual types that much more efficient use of space? |

If I remember my grandmother's perennial onions right they had o different taste then annual onions had. I can not remember if she used them in her cooking or not, but if you are going to sell them you would need to mark them as perennial onions and tell how to use them. I do know they never got large bulbs because they bloomed early and their green stems were harder then green onions in the garden. James |

The Comet electric car can be conjoined to make a four-wheeler version in the eye of the designer. It's really pretty, but does the multi-pod concept vehicle really have a chance of seeing production?
Doesn't the Comet Electric car design remind you of a roller massager, "As Seen On TV?"

Michael Forrest of Winona was sentenced to 45 days in jail and a $1,500 fine for intentionally burning a kitten, a misdemeanor. A first offense charge of animal cruelty is a misdemeanor in Mississippi, with a second offense graduating to a felony.
Forrest who is currently in the custody of the Carroll-Montgomery Regional Correctional Facility in Vaiden for unrelated charges will get time served as well.
"The court's intention is for you to serve 30 days for this crime," Lancaster said. "So you are sentenced to 45 days with credit for time served."
According to the testimony of Marcia Snyder, Forrest's girlfriend at the time of the incident, on October 29, she and Forrest were drinking with a group of friends around a small bonfire at a home on Campbell Street in Winona.
Snyder testified that Danny Joe Lott placed his kitten, which had two broken legs at the time, on the porch near Forrest. After a while, Forrest demanded the kitten be moved or "he was going to throw it in the fire."
"Mike grabbed the kitten by the head and threw it into the fire," Snyder testified. "It flip-flopped itself out of the coals."
Snyder said after Forrest threw the kitten into the fire, she and Forrest got into a physical altercation due to what had happened.
"The cat was still alive when it got out of the fire," Snyder said. "A lot of people were there, but no one tried to help the cat."
She went on to say Lott returned to find his kitten badly burned and learned what had happened. He called 911.
Captain Billy Nix of the Winona Police Department testified that he responded to Lott's 911 call. He testified that when he arrived at Lott's home on Harper Street, Lott was very upset. Nix took custody of the kitten and took it to Winona Animal Advocacy Group (WAAG) member Jeanette Weed. Weed rushed the kitten to Winona veterinarian Dr. Daniel Hill, and the kitten had to be humanely euthanized due to the extent of its injuries.
"The bottom of his paws were burned, his stomach was burned, his back legs, and his whiskers were singed off," Nix said. "When I got there, the cat was just meowing."
"Non-stop?" Winona prosecutor Putt Crull asked.
"Yeah, non-stop," Nix responded.
Crull asked the court to enforce the maximum sentence allowed by law: $2,500 and six months in jail. Forrest was sentenced to 45 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.
"This conduct is reprehensible," Lancaster said, prior to sentencing. "I can't believe a person could do that to an animal. I can't imagine anyone being so cruel as to throw a living animal into a burning fire."
In other court news:
• Lemarcus Hune of Winona was administratively bound over to a Montgomery County grand jury for felony evading. Bond was continued at $5,000. The charges stem from a chase with Winona Police officers February 12. In court Tuesday, Hune pleaded guilty to contempt of court, no driver's license, no insurance, and first offense driving under the influence and was ordered to pay a $2,387.50 fine.
• A bench warrant was issued for Adrian Sanders for not appearing in Tuesday's session of Winona City Court. Sanders, who is currently out on a $1,000 bond, is charged with felony domestic violence.

Rik Watts
Rik's initial involvement with electronic music started in the early 90's with his passion for hardcore. During this time Rik was travelling the world whilst working for the Dutch Navy and was coming into contact with a variety of early electronic music. It was at this point Rik discovered his passion for techno.
In 2006 Rik entered his first djing competition the Twstd DJ contest in Amsterdam and progressed to the last round of 14 where he performed at Club Paradiso in Amsterdam. Shortly after Rik entered a local DJ contest in his hometown of Delft at Club Speakers which he went on to win. In the same year Rik sent his first demo mix to Partyflock which went on to be selected by Bart Skills as the best newcomer entry and resulted in Rik djing @Flockers in the Arnhem Geldedrome.
Leading on from this success Rik started hosting his own parties namely Funck You. As his sound became more recognised he found himself performing at larger clubs such as Speakers in Delft and Mozaiq in Oud Beijerland. In 2009 Rik enrolled at the School of Audio Engineering in Rotterdam where he followed a course in Electronic Music Production and started to formulate his own blend of techno music.
Rik graduated in 2009 and went on to release his first EP on Phat Elephant in 2010. Since then he has performed at the Hall in Istanbul and Smeerboel in Utrecht and one of his releases was used as the soundtrack for the official promotional video of WTTF 2011. Towards the end of 2011 Rik performed several dj sets in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Scheveningen and had a major release on Lowend Community, which was supported by Slam & Hermanez.
At the beginning of 2012 Rik signed for Subculture agency in Utrecht with several new releases and projects in the pipeline. Stay tuned and keep an eye out for Rik's continued progression in 2012.
