At Diamond Finish Car Wash & Detail Center, cleaning technicians and detailing crews scour cars? insides and outsides with a spectrum of wash and detailing packages. Armed with environmentally friendly soaps, triple-foam polish, and clear-coat protectant, the team scrubs exteriors and locks in shine, backing its work with a clean-car guarantee, which gives car owners a repeat exterior wash for $3 should cars get dirty before two days have passed. A spacious gift shop chock-full of trinkets, greeting cards, and novelty mechanic coveralls whiles away drivers? time as they await their rides.
For the full-service Triple Shine wash at Grandview Auto Wash, automatic coupe cleansers buff and polish sullied exteriors before a vacuum-wielding hominid sweeps through the inside. Crusty cars cruise through the shower, where eco-friendly suds shimmy across wheels, windows, underbodies, and hood gargoyles, removing unsightly soils. Expunged exteriors shine like a bronze statue of a socialite's dog after a clear-coat protectant and triple clear-coat polish. Finally, a car concierge wraps wet wagons with a terry-cloth embrace until they are cozy and dry, then hops inside to wipe down consoles, swab windows, and quietly propose new bumper-sticker slogans.
The crew of ASE-certified technicians at Louisburg Tire & Automotive know their way around a chassis.?Not only do they outfit vehicles with tires from time-tested brands such as Bridgestone, Continental, and Goodyear; they keep your current tires from wearing themselves thin with the help of computer spin and road-force balancing. In addition to routine maintenance and in-depth repairs, the techs also spruce up coaches with cosmetic procedures, including lifting frames, customizing exhaust pipes, and smearing lipstick all over the grill.
But not all of their services are purely automotive. Louisburg Tire & Automotive cares as much about their clients' peace of mind as they do about cars. That's why the shop goes out of its way to ease stress, offering a complimentary shuttle service, guaranteeing parts and labor for up to two years, and posting coupons for deep discounts on their home page.
With lube and service centers spread across America, Valvoline Instant Oil Change ensures that roads from coast to coast teem with automotive vigor. Certified technicians perform a roster of services, including quick in-and-out oil changes that allow motorists to arrive without an appointment and remain in their car while Valvoline oils forge a truce between metal parts. Facilities also encourage odometers to reach up to 300,000 miles with an engine-guarantee program that helps motors live long enough to see tow trucks go extinct. Valvoline extends its care to cars of all makes and models as well as charitable organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
A cave stands near the entrance of Aqua Auto Spa. Cars approach slowly, their drivers peering into its dark recesses. Inside, soft cloths burnish vehicle exteriors in a matter of minutes, making them as a shiny as the sun's mouthful of braces. All washes come with free use of the self-serve vacuums, plus complimentary glass cleaner, wipe-down towels, and dash dusters. Nearby, an industrial washing basin brims with towels, brushes, and grooming shears. Here, dog owners can lather pups' fur with canine shampoo or style it into a handsome pompadour.
For more than 50 years, the skilled technicians at Fry's Car Care have primped and preened trusty petrol steeds for maximum pavement-pounding performance. During the full-service oil change, an ASE-certified mechanic will replace old, worn-out engine blood with up to five quarts of new Mobil oil and switch out grimy filters with standard, unsullied substitutions. Afterward, the technician will rotate tread-worn tires, which will come in handy when drag racing a neighboring child's Power Wheel. The appointment culminates with a thorough safety inspection—certifying that each four-wheeled locomotive is healthy and able to transport all passengers and back-seat drivers. Call ahead to schedule your car's next springtime engine cleaning.

One thing my family is working on is the 20 minute rule. You know the one that they (whoever 'they' is) say is the time it takes for your brain to realize that you already have eaten. Even though, initially, I thought it was silly, I now think that it is true. I practice it and maybe my brain is a little slow :) Thursday, I had a Smart Ones meatloaf and mashed potatoes for breakfast. Yes, I did because I didn't feel like spending $7 on breakfast at work:) Now,…

I discovered last June that the mysterious damage in my garden was from asiatic garden beetles feeding at night. This June I'm determined to do something! The only thing that came highly recommended on these boards is the flashlight and soapy water in a bucket technique. I did it tonight after seeing substantial number of beetles by the exterior light. I got maybe 40 or 50, but I could see and hear many more flying about, munching, eating my dogwood above my head, etc. I am willing to kill as many as I can by knocking them into my bucket, but does anyone have another trick? A passive trap of some sort? People were not too encouraging about nematodes last year. Thanks! |

Hi, I had the exact same problem last June. i posted on the board and got some helpful tips. I took action too late and my garden was wiped out to bare stem. I am going to take action early this spring. The action I am going to take is the same as last Spring, SEVIN powder! Sevin powder dusted on the plants will kill 'em all. |
Thanks, daffodil. I should have specified that I'd prefer less-toxic solutions (like traps or organic options) since I have a small yard and two little kids who like to "help" me garden. |

Sevin is highly toxic to bees, which are in such serious decline that they probably deserve to take precedence over ornamental plants, if only in the interest of human survival. Many web sites suggest pyrethrin, rotenone, acephate or carbaryl for control of AGB, and I think the first two are quite safe, except that a) you'd probably want to find a pyrethrin that's not combined with piperonyl butoxide, and b) rotenone is non-selective. Either of them has to be used carefully; I don't know anything about acephate or carbaryl. This is what gardens alive says; they sell a good pyrethrin product called Pyola but have some ideas about making the beetle hunt easier: Remove any mulch temporarily and lay down wooden boards or old flat pieces of scrap wood on the soil. In the morning, go out with a five gallon bucket with a few inches of soapy water in the bottom and scrape the beetles (and any slugs cohabitating with them) into the soapy water. And rig some long-term light traps outside the garden. Not too far away, but not in the center of your plantings either; no sense leading the pests to dinner. If you have a lamppost, wrap the area underneath the mantle in sticky paper and leave the light on at night for awhile. I'd be surprised if the light trap didn't catch some good bugs, too, so you might be concerned about that. We find lots of AGBs in our pool, especially if we leave the underwater light on at night. |

If you are looking for a pheremone trap, you might try the product listed below. Pheremone traps work by using a sex-lure and they will attract male beetles from 100 feet away, so don't put them right next to the target plants. The recommendation is at least 30 feet away. Yes, you might be attracting beetles from your neighbor to the trap, but if you dump them all into the soapy water, that's a good thing. In a search for a retail source, it showed them being sold at Lowes. Steve |

I've always done the soapy water routine. It's very easy and if you get at it right away and keep up with it consistently, it reduces the numbers and the potential for the next generation. I wear gardening gloves and make the rounds. I will say though that I don't have large amounts of these beetles, and I've read of other gardeners who have overwhelming numbers, and in that case, maybe one of those traps like Steve is suggesting would be a good alternative. |
- Posted by daffodil33 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 14 at 21:12
Digginginthedirt, in my case Devin works because I unfortunately only have carpenter bees, which are doing a number on the house. So it's like killing two pests with one poision. I don't have any honey bees unfortunately. I tried other options and none worked. |
daffodil, Sevin probably won't kill carpenter bees unless you are treating their tunnels. Also, you almost certainly do have other kinds of bees in your garden (including honey bees) since they have a flying range of miles and are not just confined to your yard. Even though I hate beetles as much as you, you might consider a less toxic option like pyrethin as suggested above. |
Thanks for the good suggestions, everyone. For now I've been just keeping up the soapy bucket routine. The beetles aren't too bad yet. If & when they get worse I'll consider other measures like the wooden boards or a light trap. I did look into pheremone traps, which are appealing, but my yard is tiny and I think it would be hard to get the trap far enough away from the yummy plants. |
Just wanted to post an update. I think the hand picking is working. I got maybe 75 beetles each night the first few nights, and last night it was down to about 40. It's like weeding--strangely meditative. I am seeing full astilbe blossoms for the first time in a few years! My lady's mantle and heuchera are also much happier. Here's hoping I've put enough of a dent in the population that next year will be even easier! |

Glad to hear that is working out so well, Lalala! I think you are on the right track and keep up the good work. |
I have been keeping up the beetle hunting. I have been keeping up with them and my plants have way less damage than usual. Here is a tip I have figured out in case anyone else is crazy enough to be out in the garden with a flashlight at 11 PM like me. Since their defense mechanism is to drop off the plant into the soil when disturbed, they are very easy to catch in your soapy cup, but also easy to miss if you jostle the plant and knock them off by accident. I've found that if you hold a spoon under them and give them a tiny tap, they will drop right into the spoon and not move, which allows you to put them into the cup easily. If you miss and it drops to the ground, the spoon also makes it easy to scoop them up. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 0:50
Lalala, you've given me a chuckle reading about your evening adventures. You sound like you are having way too much fun. LOL You are not the only crazy one. In a couple of past years, I was out there late at night with a flashlight looking for earwigs that were doing a huge amount of damage to my plants two years running. I found so many more bugs at that hour and about this time of year, I discovered the asiatic beetles out there too. I ended up buying myself one of those headlamps so I could use both hands. :-) My family had a good time teasing me about that one. The good news is that I haven't had to do that since that two year period. I hope this effort you are making will pay off for you too. And isn't it nice to be out in the garden at that time of night? |
- Posted by diggingthedirt CapeCod Zone7ish (My Page) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 11:18
I'm laughing, too, Lalala, wondering what your neighbors would think, if they happened to see you out in your garden with a cup and spoon in the middle of the night - a headlamp would make that even more fun. The lengths we're willing to go to for our gardens must be pretty astonishing to non-gardeners - I occasionally see my neighbors peering at me with concern over the back fence. Keep up the good work, and if you run out of AGBs, please feel free to come patrol my yard next, as I'm far too lazy to do it myself. |
Houses are close together in my neighborhood, so I'm pretty sure the neighbors have seen me squatting and peering into the plants with my flashlight. It's like CSI: Garden out here. |
Please help me! The AGBs are attacking my apple tree that is 15ft in height. How do I go about knocking these beetles into my bucket of soapy water? There must be hundreds of them swarming around my apple tree. |
kousa, I'm sorry to hear they're all over your apple tree! I don't think you can knock them into a bucket from the tree--that's too big a job. Maybe the pheremone traps suggested above would work for you. Or, if your property isn't large enough for a pheremone trap, you could try the wooden board or light trap ideas. Good luck and let us know what happens. |
Since the beetles' natural instinct is to drop and stay still for several seconds, consider spreading a white sheet or two under your tree and knocking the beetles onto that. Then roll up the sheet and submerge the whole thing in a tub (a laundry tub, or animal watering trough, or kiddie wading pool or large plastic trug) of soapy water. Or pick up the corners, knock them all into the center, and then scoop them up and drop into your bucket. Alternatively, use a pheromone trap like Steve suggested. |
I'm glad to read I'm not the only one doing bug patrol. I use a plastic folgers coffee container for potato beetles. I've just used plain water since most of what I'm seeing are potato beetle larvae (wingless). I usually make two trips around my small patch. The wide mouth is good for shaking a whole branch since there are tiny little larvae too. nhbabs white sheet method sounds very good. If let for a couple of days, the drowned larvae stink! I'm not sure how soon I can dump them out. |

in my yard they ate astilbe, heuchera, and lady's mantle, as well as the dogwood tree. They left most other things alone, including my roses (but I have a small yard without too much variety). They liked the flowers of astible and lady's mantle best of all, and now that those are past, I hardly have any beetles left in my garden. |
Thank you for all your recommendations. I am heading out to Lowes to get a white plastic sheet to spread under the apple tree and a flashight. Hopefully I can get some them tonight. Thanks again. |
I'm surprised you have to go out after dark to find them. My neighbor is on bucket patrol quite successfully in mid afternoon. |
Oriental (mottled gray/tan) and Japanese beetles (shiny) are often out during the day, but Asiatic beetles (cinnamon brown in color) are night feeders. The hide in the dirt or mulch during the day. |
- Posted by daffodil33 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jul 22, 14 at 22:45
I apparently have both the AGBs and the OBs. Because of the large yard and the large infestation, I had to use sevin, but I got tired of putting on sevin, and gave up 10 days back. They finished off the mums and the heuchera, and almost all the black eyed susans, and asters, they also like eating the plum trees, lemon balm completely wiped out, mint half gone. I have a potted curry leaf tree (Muyyaya koneigi) which they also got to, now I have to bring it indoors at night. I have a number of lemon tree seedlings, which I don't dare put out. It's hopeless, my only hope is to plant plants that they don't like. So far the only ones they don't like are: hydrangea, blackberry, brown eyed Susan, and the evening primrose. |
Oops, must be a regional thing. Saw this post under most recent, not realizing it's a NE forum. I'm in the Midwest and the coppery Japanese beetle is also referred to here as the Asian beetle, so I wondered why you all were out at night! |

DETROIT - Republican Governor Rick Snyder's decision today to appoint an emergency manager for Detroit is a serious blow to equality, fairness, and democratic governance.
Emergency managers have failed to solve financial crises in Pontiac, Benton Harbor and other Michigan cities because they do not deal with the overwhelming cause of the problem: growing poverty and joblessness.
The City Council is considering challenging the move in court.
Alarmed the Governor would make such a decision, the NAACP issued a statement this past Tuesday at a press conference inside the organization's headquarters.
"Democracy should not be taken from the city of Detroit, or any other city in the state of Michigan, simply on the basis of economic distress," said NAACP President Rev. Wendell Anthony.
The threat of an emergency manager grew after a state review team concluded the city has a financial crisis.
However Anthony said there is no way an emergency manager is going to come into the city and fix in 18 months "what has taken 50 to 100 years to develop."
Over the span of many decades, Detroit's economy became auto dependent as automotive companies made the city the center of the industry. Globalization and outsourcing of jobs has eliminated hundreds of thousands of those jobs. In addition, this largely African American city faced racial and economic segregation, a "redline," that Anthony said cuts the city off from surrounding suburbs and strangled its economic growth.
Anthony called on the state to be a "partner" in helping to solve its problems not an "overseer" that wipes out duly elected officials, a power emergency managers have.
Emergency managers can also nullify union contracts and outsource many services. The city's public workers have already been subjected to deep pay cuts and huge increases in their health care costs.
Anthony noted that Detroit is not the only community under financial distress. Recent news reports have documented communities in Oakland County, one of the wealthiest counties in the state, being forced to layoff police and fire personnel and cut back other services. Bad as the cuts are, the higher incomes of many residents in those communities make it easier to survive.
Many residents in Detroit have few resources to fall back on. There are now whole areas of the city where the median family income is less than $16,000. More cuts in income and jobs are unfathomable.
"We don't need an emergency manager; we need someone to help manage our emergency," Anthony said. He cautioned against looking for "easy" and "half-baked" solutions and called on the state to instead do serious thinking on how to solve the economic problems the city faces.

As world leaders look towards a world development agenda beyond 2015, they are faced with unfinished business in poverty eradication, education, gender equality and health. While some countries have made strides towards the Millenium Development Goals and managed to foster equitable growth, a trend of rising inequality within countries continues to accompany economic development. IPS reporting exposes progress and setbacks of the current MDGs and the preparation of a new post-2015 development agenda.

Good pump a little noisy By Jim on 12/12/2013
Jim would recommend this product to a friendI like the pump but in the prop mode it makes a little more noise then I like but not too bad. -
Great pump to upgrade a Nano By Jared on 11/14/2013
Jared would recommend this product to a friendUsing this on my nano 6 Gal by JBJ - a nice upgrade from the stock pump. Housing soft corals, 1 Head of torch, gorgonian, and 1 ocellaris clown. Flow is great for all inhabitants. Tank is in bedroom, and is fairly quiet. -
Plenty of flow, but nerve gratingly LOUD and subpar fit and finish By GPG on 8/26/2013
GPG wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIf I could sum this pump up in one phrase I'd say its crude but effective.
I set it up as a circulation pump in my 20 long. It started making a substantially loud vibrating noise within a few hours of use (was unable to correct it by remounting and repositioning pump and pieces). Another thing that I found irritating is that the cover for the impeller does not fit all that tightly and it is prone to falling off when the pump is restarted, sometime the impeller comes apart as well (you have to stick your hands in the tank-something I try to avoid- to fish out pieces and reassemble).
For $23 bucks I certainly didn't expect perfection, but I didn't expect quite this lack of quality either. That said, the flow this thing puts out is good.
Bottom line, if you are using as a circulation pump only, seek out higher quality alternatives as spend slightly more money. It's worth not having to deal with the irritating attributes of this pump, NOISE being the worst. -
they work great By willard on 3/17/2013
willard would recommend this product to a friendi am running three of these my 75 reef tank with no problems.work to all my expectations -
Works, but noisier than they used to be By Edward on 1/28/2013
Edward would recommend this product to a friendAs the title says, it moves as much water as it says it does, but it produces a humming sound that the older models didn't. On a budget they are great. Otherwise, may want to consider something else like a Cobalt or Eheim Compact. -
Great pump for the price By Shirvon on 9/25/2012
Shirvon would recommend this product to a friendThis is a great little pump, I use it with the propeller rotor for flow in my 20 gal and it sure keeps things moving.
I would not recommend it for a wave maker as it is a bit noisy on start up. -
Reliable By Eric S on 9/17/2012
Eric S would recommend this product to a friendGreat little pump. I use it for so many things (mix saltwater, backup, reactor...) It's not very exciting but works when you need it. Great price and very versatile. Nothing else I could ask for. Thanks BRS! -
Good pump for the price By Louis on 8/16/2012
Louis would recommend this product to a friendAs many others have said this pump can be loud but for the price it can't be beat. I use it as a replacement pump in my 14G biocube and love the flow it creates. -
Low cost, good flow, but a little loud By Ron on 7/26/2012
Ron wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI got this to use with the reactor instead of the recommended 1200 as it draws about 1/2 the watts with only a little loss in flow. The flow is fine and the price is fair, however the pump is loud to me. It is louder than my skimmer skimmer pump - skimmer is a reef octopus. On the plus it connects right up with the BRS reactors. -
incredible value for the price By Corbin on 3/29/2012
Corbin would recommend this product to a friendThese may not be the nicest powerheads, but on a budget these will add flow where you need it in a smaller tank. They do make some noise, and the motor is slightly large. Even so I purchased a second unit for my cichlid tank. There is just no arguing with the price.

Captains Top Dragons 11-2 in Series Opener Friday
Dayton, Ohio—The Lake County Captains exploded for 11 runs over a three-inning stretch and went on to defeat the Dayton Dragons 11-2 on Friday night in the series opener at Fifth Third Field.
The Captains scored two runs in the third inning, starting with a solo home run from Ivan Castillo. They scored five unearned runs in the fourth, all after two men were out, to break the game open at 7-0. The inning was keyed by two costly Dayton errors and a two-run single by Logan Vick. Lake County added four more in the fifth inning to jump ahead 11-0, pushed by a two-run triple by Grant Fink.
The Dragons scored both of their runs in the bottom of the ninth. Tanner Rahier's RBI single brought in one run and the other scored on a bases loaded walk to Avain Rachal.
Lake County starting pitcher Mitch Brown (1-6) earned his first win of the season after a series of hard-luck winless starts. Brown had allowed two runs or less in six of his last seven starts and had left five of those games with the lead including one contest when he departed with a 10-1 advantage, but he had been held without a credited victory.
Dragons starting pitcher Nick Travieso (6-4) suffered the loss. He worked four-plus innings, allowing nine hits and 10 runs (five earned) with two walks and eight strikeouts. Reliever Radhames Quezada replaced Travieso and tossed two innings, allowing one run on two hits with two walks and five strikeouts. Nolan Becker fired two perfect innings, striking out four. Pedro Diaz pitched a scoreless ninth, surrendering one hit.
Dragons pitchers combined to strikeout 17 Lake County batters, a 2014 team high and only three short of the Dragons franchise record.
The Dragons collected five hits by five different players. There were no extra base hits.
The Dragons (2-6) host Lake County (6-2) again on Saturday at Fifth Third Field at 7:00 p.m. Jackson Stephens (0-0, 6.75) will start for the Dragons against Lake County's Jordan Milbrath (2-8, 3.39). The game will be televised on WHIO Digital Channel 7.2 (Time Warner channels 23 and 372). The series continues with games on Sunday (2 pm), and Monday (7 pm).
All Dragons games can be heard on WONE Radio (980 AM) and via the internet at wone.com and through the Dragons Mobile App.

"I used this enclosure card as my RSVP card. I did not want my guests to mail back an RSVP card. I just wanted them to call, text or email me. They turned out great and match my invitations! I just wish they were not plain white on the back of the card. The invites continue with the flower pattern on the back which I loved and these did not. Overall, excellent quality!"
"I purchased this to match my poppy invitations and used this as my reception card. On the front of the card I included the reception address and time. On the back of the card I included a picture of the reception location and driving directions on the back of the card. The printing came out great and the picture I included on the back was perfect."
"LOVE THIS! We used this card to say the 'wishing well' poem where we basically asked our nearest and dearest to give us money in a suitcase for our wedding gift, nicely of course. It matched the whole peacock plume range, I'd probably add another or have same pattern (with clear centre) to write on both sides (for like accommodation, gifts, info). EXCELLENT!"
"We used this enclosure card as well as the invitation and response cards. The quality of the paper and print are excellent. They all tie together perfectly. Highly Recommend!"
"This piece drew me in specifically because of the outside border. It has a sense of sophistication that sets the mood for your wedding. I used this for my Hotel information and it looks wonderful."

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Seth Smith's solo homer in the 10th inning lifted the San Diego Padres to a 5-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, their first win in the series in nine years.
Smith's leadoff blast to right field off Anthony Swarzak (2-1) came after the Padres tied the score in the top of the ninth on Everth Cabrera's sacrifice fly.
"You never know when you get up there, but today I was seeing (the ball) pretty good," Smith said.
San Diego's Alexi Amarista then made game-saving over-the-shoulder catch in center field on Eduardo Escobar's blast in the bottom of the ninth with two runners on base.
The Padres snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Twins, which included a 3-1 setback on Tuesday in the opener of the two-game series. It was their first win over Minnesota since June 19, 2005.
Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs for the Twins, who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
Twins right-hander Kevin Correia was in line for his first win in four starts before the Padres tied the score in the ninth. Correia gave up three runs on five hits and a walk in six innings.
Rookie Odrisamer Despaigne worked 5 2/3 innings for the Padres, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks. Despaigne is winless in his last three starts with 12 earned runs given up in 15 innings
Twins closer Glen Perkins blew the 4-3 lead when Yonder Alonso led off with a double and eventually scored on Cabrera's sliced line drive to right fielder Oswaldo Arcia, who slid to make the catch but sailed a throw past home plate.
"Closers make it interesting. They always do," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "Glen is as good as they are. He's a good one. Today he left a couple pitches up. We shouldn't have been in that situation. We should have scored a lot more runs."
In the bottom of the ninth, the Twins had runners at first and second with two outs when Escobar drove a fastball from Kevin Quackenbush (2-2) to deep center. Amarista made a long run from shallow center and came down with the ball near the warning track.
In the bottom of the 10th, Joaquin Benoit gave up a leadoff pinch-hit single to Kurt Suzuki, who moved up on Jordan Schafer's bunt. Benoit walked Brian Dozier with two outs but Cabrera caught Eduardo Nunez's humpback liner in shallow left-center field to end the game and earn Benoit his fourth save.
The Padres tied the score at 3-3 with two runs in the sixth inning, the first one scoring on Smith's one-hop double off the wall in right-center. Yangervis Solarte then came home on Tommy Medica's groundout.
The Twins went back on top in the bottom of the inning after Danny Santana was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Plouffe's single to make it 4-3.
Earlier, Dozier hit a one-out single and Plouffe followed with a homer to left field, his eighth of the season, to give the Twins a 2-0 lead in the first.
Jedd Gyorko doubled into the right-field corner to score Medica from first base to get San Diego on the board in the fourth inning. The Twins got the run back in the fifth when Escobar hit an RBI single off the glove of the third baseman Solarte and into left field to make it 3-1.

Recycled Christmas Cards
By: Molly Mason for Mixed Molly
Why make handmade Christmas cards, you may ask? Well, for one, it's a great way to recycle your old cards! These Recycled Christmas Cards will spread even more joy because it's like getting several cards in one!
- 4 cards
- Glue
- Cardstock
- Embellishments of your choice
- Tear up your cards so they're roughly the same size.
- Next, glue the pieces onto the cardstock.
- Once the glue is dried, the fun begins. You can use the sewing machine, embroidery thread, tissue paper, paint, markers, stamps, or images printed from the computer to finish the cards.

"Thank you to all the STAFF - you were all very helpful and super friendly- you all have a place to stay if you come visit FL! we will take good care of you, as you did for us."
"ACA staff was the bomb!! Spending time with other attendees was the most positive experience I had. Food was great, speakers were great, energy was great, meeting rooms were great! Thanks you hard working people!"
"We helped with the SUP ICW at the beginning of the week and had a blast. It was great to network, socialize, compete, and SUP the "Falls of the Ohio" , actually surfing a "green wave" and paddle through some class 3 plus whitewater on an SUP. Excellent time and plenty of fun."
"I thought the ACA folks were very congenial and helpful, and our instructor update was done well. As with most whitewater, it isn't determined until the last minute where we will go, but it was nice that there was a contingent plan either way. I learned several things that I plan to take to my next class."

Definition of MicroangiopathyMicroangiopathy: A disease of the capillaries (very small blood vessels), in which the capillary walls become so thick and weak that they bleed, leak protein, and slow the flow of blood.

Republicans have made the already idiotic and unpleasant process of "vetting" an executive appointee even worse and Senate Democrats let them. If you want an effective government you need qualified people to run it. The less appealing the job is made, the harder it will be to get good people to serve.
After Hagel's Ordeal, Why Would Anyone Want to Serve in Washington? |

Appeals Court Nominee Goodwin Liu to Get Senate Vote |
By: bmaz Wednesday May 18, 2011 6:12 am |
This is a fairly astounding happening as Liu was first nominated to the 9th in February of 2010, but the nomination died at the end of the 2010 session from lack of even an attempt to call for a floor vote. President Obama promptly renominated Liu, and he was again promptly reported out of the Judiciary Committee on a straight party line vote, but it appeared as if the nomination would be again be left to die a quiet death. Apparently not.
Abolish the Senate: Truly Radical, Yet Wholly Sensible Reform |
By: Jon Walker Monday January 10, 2011 7:15 pm |
While there seems to be some growing intellectual consensus in support of slightly reforming Senate rules to modestly reduce obstructionism, the idea of returning the Senate to its original intent of a majority rule chamber is still labeled too radical. In reality there is nothing radical about merely bringing back the original Senate rule that allows a simple majority to end debate. Actual radical reform would be completely eliminating the Senate and making the country a more egalitarian democracy, with the House as a unicameral legislature.
How Senate Rules Are Changed Is Much More Important Than What Changes Are Made Now |
By: Jon Walker Thursday December 30, 2010 7:00 pm |
If the rules are changed at the beginning of the next Congress, it will happen one of only two ways: either they will employ the "Constitutional option" using a simple majority or there will be a bipartisan compromise using a traditional two-thirds vote. Given how modest the changes being debated are, both potential paths might produce very similar changes this time, but which process is used could have a huge long-term impact.
Dear Congress, Almost No One Knows or Cares About Your Kabuki |
By: Jon Walker Thursday December 23, 2010 7:20 pm |
My advice to any political party is to focus the bulk of their energy on doing what ever possible, as quickly as possible, to deliver real improvements for the electorate. People pay attention to how the government is affecting their lives, not the show politicians put on for each other.
If Democrats had spent even half as much time on getting more people help with their health care as soon as possible as they did getting that "pretty" CBO score for their bill, I suspect they would have had a better showing last November.
Radical Conservatives Make Sure Government Isn't the Solution |
By: Jon Walker Thursday July 22, 2010 9:45 am |
From endless Senate Republican filibusters to hysterical attacks on relatively low-level government employees, this is collective action to stop the government from working, and an attempt to drive competent individuals out of civil service.
Byrd Did Not Just Write the Book on Senate, He Rewrote Its Rules |
By: Jon Walker Monday June 28, 2010 12:50 pm |
Many reports on the late Robert Byrd's long career as a US Senator are pointing out that Byrd literally wrote the book on Senate rules and history. And while it is true that Byrd did write the quintessential four-part history of the chamber, his real importance comes from the fact that it was Byrd himself who rewrote Senate rules and precedent.

Hey, New York Times: Why Don't You Tell the Senate to Just Pass the House Health Bill? |

While it might be a "fact" that the House could pass the Senate bill unchanged, it is also a "fact" that the Senate could quickly pass the House bill unchanged. Maybe the reason the Senate is so dysfunctional is that major news organizations like the New York Times seem to ignore the simple facts about what the Senate can actually do, and, instead, lets senators get away with pretending there are no ways around their own made-up rules. The 60-vote threshold is not part of the Constitution, nor is it carved in stone. It can be changed. It should be changed.
Cloture Is Now Officially Meaningless |

Here are two pairs of numbers which look awfully similar. The cloture vote for the Senate health care bill: 60-39. The vote for final passage of the Senate health care bill: 60-39. Thanks to Democratic caucus members like Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu, the distinction between cloture and the bill itself has disappeared.
