I am fairly new in the vermicomposting business, but I got interested in the topic and bought a WF360 about 3 months ago, thinking that this would be a piece of cake. Since I understand the chemistry of the bin, everything has been pretty straightforward. Unfortunately for me, I am not a worm psychologist and most of my red buddies are not doing what I was expecting! So, aiming to improve their quality of life (and the composting rate), I had a couple of questions/ideas. 2- I got some sawdust from a friend of mine and I added it to the top bin. Since my addition created an exodus of worms, I did some research and found that a large portion of that was from pine. Although now (after a week) the worms seem to be coming back, should I through it away and start fresh or just let it be? 3- Last but not least.... I live in south TX and it's getting pretty challenging to keep my friends within their comfortable temperature range. To solve this problem, I added a computer fan but I'm not particularly happy with the feeling of using electricity 24/7 to keep them cool (bringing the bins inside is out of the picture because my wife does not tolerate the fruit-flies). I'm thinking in assembling an automatic thermostat that would only run when needed... I'm also thinking in the possibility to add a simple pH-sensor to alert users about acidic conditions in their bin. If such device was made commercially available, how much would be a reasonable price? Thanks to all of you for any feedback. |
Follow-Up Postings:
1) Sure, Why not. If it works, then it works. 2) If the worms are coming back, then leave everything alone. The pine dust probably just needed to break down a bit before the worms were happy with it. 3) If you are the type who likes to tinker, then go with the thermostat. Most of us don't like putting the money or effort into our bins. Just be aware that increased airflow means increased bacterial bloom, which can mean increased heat. As for the pH sensor, IMNSHO, the whole acidic issue is far too overrated in worm composting. I don't think it would sell. The people who worry the most about the bin going acidic are those who have almost no experience raising worms. |
Worms can wiggle through mosquito screen. I used weed cloth when I had my WF. |

My worm psychologist said I needed to think like a worm in order to understand their feelings and emotions. Disreguarding that I went straight to the mushrooms who told me Texas is hot and South TX is massively hot. Massive shade should be in the picture. Like zero sun not even reflected. Not even sun rise or sun set sun. Consider a bin that touches the ground. Consider ice but like a plant in a pot, be unable to water for one day or half a day and it dies. |
How about running the computer fan on solar? I think computer fans draw about 3 amp. You could get one of those solar patio light things, clip the wires from the LED and run them to your fan. The $.97 probably won't be big enough. You might need one of the larger ones that charge a couple AA batteries. Edit: If you decide to go that route, you will have to bypass the light sensor in the solar panel or it won't power up in the day. |

I live in South Texas as well. I don't my bin outside. lol They will cook in 3 hours. Actually this summer hasn't as hot like last year. Mostly in the mid 90s. At first I did have fruit flies. I just put alot of shredded newspaper on top and they went away. I have had my bin for 4 months already. What part of South Texas? I am in Harlingen (Rio Grande Valley) |

W.T.O. Boeing Ruling
4:16 pm
Mon March 12, 2012
Boeing, Airbus Both Claim WTO Victory
Both US and European officials are claiming victory after a global trade court ruled in a long-standing dispute over claims of illegal government subsidies to Boeing and European rival Airbus. From France, Liam Moriarty has more.
An appeals panel of the World Trade Organization found Boeing benefited from more than $5 billion in illegal federal grants and state support when developing its 787 Dreamliner. European Union trade commissioner Karel DeGucht says the ruling vindicates Europe's claims of unfair trade practices by the US.
"The United States has been illegally funding Boeing with billions of dollars of subsidies for many years, and continues to do so today."
The Europeans tried to spin the ruling as a home run for their side. But American officials noted the W.T.O. found that Airbus got more than three times as much illegal aid as Boeing, and suffered less economic damage … With the final ruling in, the US and Europe will try to negotiate a settlement for ending the subsidies to their aircraft makers. Failing that, each side says they'll seek to enforce the W.T.O. ruling, possibly with trade sanctions.

The people versus The Mississauga Transit
Fran Lucianiwrote: I am a victum of transit abuse. I was in a Mississauga Transit vehicle 2 years ago, It was a very snowy day and the bus driver thought he was driving in the Molson Indy's 500 speed race or something. I got up to press for my stop and this asshole slams on the brakes so hard just so he could make my stop on time . I eneded up flying off my feet, and going my body weight times the g-forse into the plexy glass. Needless to say , I am perminently damaged. Mississauga Transit on the other hand have taken it upon themselves to diregard my case and treat me like a goof who was just born yesterday.they are fighting me tooth and nail only so that they can flee from the responsibility that had been bestowed on them from the day of my accident on the bus. I was just comeing home from work one day 10 day's to Christmas Time. This bus driver had ruined my life. All my dreams and goals for the future is now a dream whisping away each day. They are refuseing me my rights to heal, they are refusing me loss of pay, they are refuseing me housekeeping and the whole chibam. Not too mention I had recently seen this driver who ruined my life still working for the Mississauga Transit Commistion. Like add salt to the wound or what. My petition is about PERSONAL PUBLIC SAFTEY. Meaning everyone and anyone who uses the same roads that This bus company does.I am starting this petition because I want to get as many signitures or e-mail comments on my link that I have just posted , to be able to make this awarness to Our Mayor, mayor Hazel. I need comments on what dangers people on or off the bus have endured and what they need to change about their drivers skills( like getting a real licsence) and behaving like people who are to be responsible for public saftey of all who enter the bus and drive around them. I have seen way too many occations where and old lady with a cane and old man or a child fall on the bus because of the disregard they take to people boarding the bus. when they should be waiting for everyone to sit before proceeding to move.i need your comments, please if you have a heart, leave it on my windows live link, one voice can not be heard, but 1000 voices can. People like my self will never be able to work again as I know of 4 other cases who are sueing the Mississauga transit for the same reason.Please let me create this change for everyone's sake. I can only do this with your comment. Thank you all

3 years ago Comments: I also had an incident with a crazy bus driver. On March 16th at 3:40pm I was taking the 35 West from Dixie to Guildwood Way. I was sitting on the back bench trying to fix my keys. The driver was driving recklessly; speeding then braking really hard. At one point on the trip she braked so hard I went flying off my seat and sustained some serious injuries. I filed a report with Mi Way and then submitted a claim with the city to compensate me for my medical treatment etc.. Because I didn't get anyone's name and number as witnesses. They basically said it was my word against hers and as of yet have not approved my claim. If anyone remembers seeing the incident and wishes to come forth please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. By the way I was wearing a big green cowboy hat with sequins and feathers for a St. Patric's day celebrating at my work. We should not allow the reckless drivers to get away with it. Thank you

Last year I never took up my oregano or thyme. Dead of winter it looks like its still fairly fresh. Actually smells good sstill. Will these two start to grow when summer hits or should I tear them up..... |
Follow-Up Postings:
These are both hardy perennials for me and come back every year. |

Comes back every year for me too in Western NY State. Thyme is only dead when it looks dead. Oregano dies to the ground for me each winter and sprouts up in the spring. You must have more mild temperatures than I do for yours to still be green. As a rule of thumb, be patient. Always leave perennials until the spring (at the very least!) to see what comes back for you. Some perennials come up late so learn those and mark them well. FataMorgana |

You can cover if you wish but from personal experience (we get some real wicked ice storms here), low growing green plants like these come through pretty much unscathed. It is trees and larger woody plants that take the worst beating from such storms. FataMorgana |

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Uruguay's state oil company announced that it may have discovered
significant natural gas reserves in an offshore natural gas field,
according to June 25 reports. The field is set for auction in July
2009 and is estimated to hold between 28 and 85 billion cubic meters
of natural gas. To give the size of the find some context, Uruguay
only (currently) consumes 80 thousand cubic meters per year, which
would mean that even at the lowest estimated volume it would satisfy
Uruguay's current consumption for 333.3 years. If they exported all of
it to Brazil, it would take care of Brazilian consumption for 1.5 to
4.6 years, and it would satisfy current Brazilian imports for 3.2 to
9.6 years. For Argentina, the deposit would satisfy 0.7 to 2.1 years
of Argentine consumption. question -- brazil really uses less natural
gas than argentina? is it bc of alternate sources like hydroelectric
power? yes, argentina uses a TON of natural gas.... one of the
reasons their habit is so hard to support. They're the 17th largest NG
consumer in the world, and Brazil is the 33rd

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia's three-month interbank interest rate climbed to the highest level in seven months after King Abdullah appointed a new team to manage the Arab world's biggest economy.
The rate climbed to 0.745 percent yesterday, the highest since May, according to Bloomberg data, as the cost of credit- default swaps linked to Saudi Arabia rose to the highest this month. The derivatives are used as a measure of confidence although they reference no debt.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter of oil, replaced its central bank head and economy minister as it presses forward with a record spending plan aimed at reducing unemployment of 10 percent and reliance on crude exports. Fahad al-Mubarak was appointed governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, replacing Muhammad al-Jasser, who was named economy and planning minister, state-run al-Ikhbariya television said on Dec. 13.
"Maybe some people are nervous, probably unnecessarily, that al-Jasser's move from SAMA will mean a change in monetary policy and possibly greater pressure on banks to lend," said Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist at National Commercial Bank. "It is probably just a short-term market reaction to perceived uncertainty."
Monetary Policy
Under al-Jasser, Saudi Arabia has maintained a monetary policy that aimed to meet "domestic demand for credit" and enable local banks "to play their financing role in the development process of the kingdom," the central bank said in an annual report published Dec. 12 on its website.
This isn't likely to change under al-Mubarak, Murad Ansari, an analyst at investment bank EFG-Hermes Holding SAE in Riyadh, said in a phone interview. "I don't think there should be too much nervousness about the appointment because the monetary policy of the bank will be more or less similar," he said.
Al-Mubarak worked as managing director of Morgan Stanley Saudi Arabia before his appointment. He was also chairman of the Saudi Stock Exchange. He declined to comment on central-bank policies when contacted yesterday.
The Saudi riyal is pegged to the dollar and the central bank often follows the U.S. Federal Reserve in setting rates. In 2009, the central bank cut the repurchase rate to 2 percent, the lowest since 2004, and the reverse repurchase rate to 0.25 percent.
Bank Lending
Bank lending to the private sector has increased to a record of 810.2 billion riyals ($216 billion) in October, an increase of 10 percent from the same period last year, according to data on the central bank's website. Since the start of this year, bank lending to the private sector has increased month on month.
Al-Jasser said in an interview in October that lending through the remainder of the year would continue at about 9 percent. "The pace is reasonable at this point," he said. The same month, he said Saudi Arabia has no reason to change its policy of pegging the riyal to the dollar.
The outlook for the Saudi Arabian banking system "remains stable" based on the expected decline in problem-loan levels and Saudi banks' supportive capital, profitability and liquidity attributes, Moody's Investors Service said on Dec. 5. "These positive factors are counterbalanced by structural weaknesses that include high loan and deposit concentrations, the opacity of family conglomerates and a vulnerability to a sustained drop in oil prices."
Lending Criteria
The kingdom's banks tightened lending criteria after two businesses owned by prominent Saudi families defaulted on at least $15.7 billion of loans in 2009 and the global credit crisis hurt the economy. Growth slowed to 0.1 percent in 2009 from 4.2 percent the previous year, International Monetary Fund data show. Bank lending to the private sector declined 0.3 in 2009 to 701.7 billion riyals from the year earlier period, according central bank data.
Saudi Arabia's spending to create jobs and diversify its economy comes amid a wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East, triggered in part by unemployment. King Abdullah announced a $130 billion spending plan in the first quarter and in August 2010 unveiled a $384 billion plan to develop transportation, housing and education.
Saudi Arabia's real gross domestic product will expand 5.1 percent this year, according to the central bank's annual report. The non-oil sector will expand 5.4 percent, while the oil industry will grow 4.9 percent, the bank said.
Companies are benefitting from government expenditure, James Reeve, a senior economist at Samba Financial Group in London, said in response to e-mailed questions.
Corporate Borrowing
"The economy is still fundamentally driven by government spending," Reeve said. "Large numbers of private sector sectors benefit directly or indirectly from government spending."
Saudi Arabian Mining Co., the state-controlled company known as Ma'aden, said on Dec. 5 that one its units obtained a 1.35 billion-riyal ($360 million) loan. Ma'aden Petrochemicals Co. and Sahara Petrochemicals Co. signed the one-year bridge loan with Saudi British Bank and Banque Saudi Fransi.
Jabal Omar Development Co., a Saudi property company, signed an agreement this month with the finance ministry for a 3 billion-riyal commercial loan, according to a statement to the Saudi bourse on Dec. 13. Both Saudi Aramco Total Refining & Petrochemical Co., a joint venture between Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and Total SA, and Saudi International Petrochemical Co. sold debt this year.
Credit-Default Swaps
While the cost to insure Saudi debt rose to 128 basis points yesterday, it is less than half the Middle East sovereign average, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent, should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
The country needs the non-oil economy to expand at an average 7.5 percent in the next five years to lower joblessness by half to 5 percent, the IMF said. Non-oil output growth will slow to 5 percent in 2012 from 5.4 percent this year, while the expansion in oil GDP will grind to a halt next year, IMF data project.
The latest Cabinet changes, along with King Abdullah's appointment earlier this year of a successor to the late Prince Sultan as defense minister, are the first since 2009. That year, Abdullah appointed al-Jasser as the central bank governor and named new ministers of information and education.
The king appointed Prince Nayef, 78, as crown prince on Oct. 28 and later named Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz as defense minister. The appointments followed the Oct. 22 death of Prince Sultan, formerly crown prince.
Al-Jasser, who had been a deputy governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency since 1995, replaced Hamad Saud al- Sayari in 2009. Al-Sayari had served as the central bank's governor since 1983.

I hope I put this in the right forum.
So I have a old remy model 11 that I want to make my HD/turkey gun. The only problem is I want to replace the fixed improved cylinder to a turkey choke. I know I can send it and have it threaded but I just want a turkey choke and do not care to remove it. Is there any way to to permanently attach a choke. I was thinking of cutting down the barrel to 20" and welding in a choke.

Lao Tzu said, "You have collected so much money, that almost fifty percent of the wealth of the city is in your hands, with the other fifty percent in the whole city's hands. This situation creates the possibility of stealing. This man is a victim; in fact you are the criminal. But I will be very equal: six months jail for both."
The rich man said, "My God! I have never heard that when somebody steals from your house you are jailed!" He said, "I want first to see the emperor! Even the emperor owes money to me. Whenever he wants, I have been giving money to him."
And he went to the emperor and said what had happened. "And I have come to remind you that soon you will be in jail also! If this man is going to remain the supreme judge of the empire, you cannot remain out of jail long. We are small criminals according to him. You are the biggest criminal."
The emperor said, "Perhaps he was right that I would repent. Don't be worried, I will release him from the service immediately."
He called Lao Tzu and said, "This is a very strange judgment."
Lao Tzu said, "It is not. If people were living in harmony with nature, if people were compassionate to each other, if they felt a certain brotherhood with each other, then how could there be rich people and poor people? There should only be people. And there is enough." At least in those times it was perfectly true, there was enough for everybody to live comfortably.
At that time when Lao Tzu said that, in India the population was only two million. Now the population is nine hundred million, and by the end of this century, if humanity survives - the chances are very slim - India will have one thousand million. For the first time India will be the most populated country; up to now China has remained the first and India number two. In the race India is going to win within ten years.
In those days when the country had only two million people, nature was abundant. There was no need for anybody to be rich or poor. Things could be easily, comfortably enjoyed by all. But it was not the case, neither in India nor in China nor anywhere else. Now it has become absolutely impossible.
But Lao Tzu was right when he said, "A man who collects so much wealth that thousands of people become undernourished - they don't have houses, they don't have jobs, they don't have enough to eat.What do you want? Should they steal or not? Their stealing is not a crime; this rich man is the criminal. What is the point of collecting all this wealth? Your wealth is simply the blood of the people. You should be happy that I'm sending you to jail only for six months. In fact if I'm to be just, that man could go for six months, but you would have to go for your whole life! Less than that would not be justified."
The emperor said, "I understand. I release you. You were right that I would repent; you are a dangerous fellow."

Welcome to a great group of people. Who pray and encourage each other. Everyone is welcome!!!
Weight Loss Support - Christian Encouragers #139View Full Version : Christian Encouragers #139 sami 03-14-2002, 08:31 AM Welcome to a great group of people. Who pray and encourage each other. Everyone is welcome!!! sami 03-14-2002, 08:55 AM Blessing this morning, I really need some prayer right now. Yesterday My MIL had a stroke! Now I have both my MIL and FIL in the same hospital with a stroke! My MIL's appears to be mild but she does have blockage. I went for my test tue and I am so upset. I had an EMG (and one other test) I knew the min the Dr walked in it wasn't going to go well. He rushed in didn't even intro himself. zapped me 3 times in each leg and then took 1 needle and stuck me 3 times in each leg (didn't even touch the place I don't have feeling) I tried to tell him where the place was that I have no feeling but he acted like he couldn't hear me. He then jump up and said your fine and RAN out the door. He spent a total of 3 mins with me! And when I left they handed me a copy of the bill He charged me 1147.00 for that 3 mins!!!!!!! I was so mad I told the nurse 3 min of his time was not worth 1147.00. I called two other friends who had the same tests and both of them said it took over an hour to do there tests. So I am filing a complaint. If any of you have advice what steps or where to turn I would treasure your support. Patricia-Wow this has been a fast 6 weeks. Way to go on 2 more lbs. Ginny-God will help you through the changes that your life is about to take. Wilma-How are you feeling today? I pray that you are feeling fine and thankful you didn't break anything. Pravda-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! Just do like I do if turning older bums you pick an age and stick to it. My DH got me two cakes one that said 25 and one that said the lost years LOL Bethanne-Hang in there! Satan wants you to have bad days and give up. Just take it one meal at a time!!!!! And we are here for you! Gary-How are you feeling after working out in your new home gym? Chick4christ-Thank you for your prayers it means so much to me. Zoe-How are you? To all the others I am missing (sorry I am so stressed I can't remember names) I am praying and lifting you up in prayer. This is the day that the LORD has made let us rejoice and be glad in it. Sami AngelCat 03-14-2002, 10:10 AM I just wanted to say hi! :) I think this group is a great idea, I don't know a single person where I live that's Christian. I know a lot of atheists though.Some times it feels like I'm alone in Christianity.I'm also trying to shed some pounds. I'm not sure how many, I figured I'd figure it out as a go and mostly just try to consintrate on each pound so i don't feel overwhelmed. God bless! AngelCat 03-14-2002, 10:28 AM I said some Prayers for you Sami. I hope your MIL and FIL heal up fine with no further problems. I've had problems with doctors before too, that's a huge bill! I had to pay over $350 for a 2 mins with a doctor and all he gave me for a severe allergic reaction to injested food is a 1 single sleeping pill and he sent me home. I was having problems breathing and was afraid if I fell asleep i'd die. so I stayed up and went to anouther hospital and was given some medicine to help me and not just put me to sleep. I'm not sure what to do legally, but you probably need some sort of proof proving how long your test is supposed to take to submit to a lawyer. Maybe anouther doctors written statement? I pray for the best for you *HUGS* BA99TJ 03-14-2002, 10:33 AM Hi All, its thursday.. tomorrow is FRIDAY!! Whooppeee!! Well I'm down another 1 lb. I think its because I drank 128 oz of water yesterday. Boy was I in the bathroom a lot!! My goal is 160 oz today, but I'm already behind. Gotta start drinkin like crazy!! I still can't believe I drank a whole gallon of water yesterday! Pretty insane. Had our bible study last night, which was so great and uplifting (as always). Our group is doing special music at the end of April in Church.. so we practiced.. it was so fun to praise the Lord together... we were singing for over an hour!! It was so much fun though, well worth the late night. Sami- I will DEFINATELY be praying for you. Do you have health insurance? Or are you paying out of pocket?? If so, I would refuse to pay the bill until the test is redone, and done properly. If you have health insurance, call and file a complaint about it, and see what they will do. Check out websites for information about "what to expect" with that test. Print the info (I suggest webmd.com). If it is drastically different than what you experienced, you can use that as "ammo". Call the supervisor of the clinic/lab you went to and complain. Patients have rights too ya know!! I will also be praying for your in-laws!! AngelCat - welcome!! I hope we can encourage you on your journey. It's really hard to be alone in a "sea of non-believers". I hope you can try and find a good church to go to.. with people your age you can interact with. Christian fellowship is SO important!!! to everyone else - I hope you have a WONDERFUL day. Celebrate Him!! wilma12 03-14-2002, 11:22 AM Good Morning! It's a beautiful clear day here and I'd rather be walking than working!! I hope I can get out there after work. I don't have anyone to feed by myself tonight and I have a big pot of soup waiting. I didn't get my walk in yesterday. I find it really hard to get out right after work. It is getting lighter out in the evening so I can start walking in the evening soon! Chick: Sorry about that! WOE means way of eating - whatever you are doing to eat healthy. Sami: When it rains it pours! I am praying for you and your family during this stressful time. I can't advise you on what to do about your bill but it does seem unfair. In Canada, we have a system that pays the medical expenses for us. We end up paying for it through our taxes but it is nice not to have up front costs. AngelCat: Welcome!! This is a super place to come for encouragement. Tell us more about yourself. What are you doing to lose the weight and how much are you wanting to lose? Dee: You're just dropping those pounds! Thanks for being such an inspiration for me. Zoe: Just eat healthy and allow yourself little treats along the way and you'll do fine. I also tell myself that if I want that treat I need to get moving to get rid of it. How did you enjoy "Amazing Race"? I enjoy watching it. Ginny: I hope you're getting the rest you need. I think being a mom is one of the most stressful jobs there is!! My visit with the accountant wasn't too bad. We're even getting money back which will be really nice. We're still looking for a place to buy and the lower our debt the better things will look for us. Hello to all I haven't addressed. Thank you all for "Being there" for me. EZMONEY 03-14-2002, 08:49 PM Good day ladies-- Thought I would say hi before I headed off to my son's softball game. Wilma, our dinner went well--we made a whopping $6.00. Oh well, it isn't really a fundraiser but a way to help people get to church on a busy Wed. night for Lent services. We only had 57 people I think--hoped for 80. Those that came had good food and plenty of it and great fellowship!!! Sami, sorry about your M/FIL--I will say prayers for them--as far as the Dr. bill is concerned, I"d call the COPS!!! that is grand theft for sure!!!! Welcome Angel Cat. Hey Zoe why don't you give that journal a good home in the closet for awhile and just write down WHATEVER comes to mind in your journal-- a thank-you to someone, letter to an old friend or realitive you have been meaning to contact-- a list of your blessings or just make a wish list. Those calories can count themselves--you klnow what-when-why and how by now--take a break. Didn't get to see the Amazing Race yesterday but I sure enjoyed the first one. Well I am outta here before you guys throw me out---In Our Lord's Love--Gary BA99TJ 03-14-2002, 11:48 PM Huge major giant accomplishment of the day... I ONLY ATE 29 POINTS TODAY!!!!! I've had a rough week really, at the top or above my points EVERY day.. the only saving grace has been the water!!! I'll see what my official loss is for this week, but as of this morning it looked like it was 2.5 lbs for this week, bringing me to 14 total. ;) I had a busy day today... Only got in 100 oz of water, but hey, that's better than none!! I actually met every requirement today. I went for a walk at lunch, ate 29 points, got all my fruit and veggie servings, avoided carbs at lunch, drank all my water, and got my milk requirement filled too!! And managed to save enough points to have one of my choclate chip cookies.. So all in all a great day, but we'll see what the scale says tomorrow! I'm so excited you all like Amazing Race as well!! My H and I are very addicted!! :) have a great night! BA pravda 03-15-2002, 02:44 PM I am offically 30 today. I was not looking forward to it, but, it has not been too bad yet! Then again, it is only the 1st few hours into my 30's. I will let you know more later! hahahahaha! Congrats Beth anne on keeping to your points! That is great!!!! Keep it up. Does nt make you feel so good about your self when you see the scale go down! Angel Cat- Welcome! This is a great place to get support! Come back and visit soon! Zoe- Keep your chin up! I like Gary's suggestion. That might help a little. Try it and see, I know that I start to feel guilty when I do not follow the "rules" that I have set for myself, but convince yourself that it is ok, and it will not hurt you far a few days. Gary-glad that your potato dinner went ok, sorry that you didn't raise that much money, but if it was for another reason. Atleast you got some people to come to church. That is always a good out come. Hope you have a good time at your sons game, and good luck for him! Sami- I hope your inlaws are doing better. I have been praying for you and them. Hang in there, there is a silver lining out there somewhere! Well-if I have missed anyone, I am sorry! Have a great weekend. Pravda wilma12 03-15-2002, 06:24 PM Hi! I just had to come here and let you know that I made it out for a walk today. As you know I've been struggling with getting out there and today I made myself go. I feel so much better about it. I know what I need to do to get this weight to disappear. I've taken my measurements and hopefully by the time the first wedding comes around I'll be down a few lbs. (The first wedding is last weekend in April.) I bought a really nice dress that was 1/2 price while in the city. It's just a little snug so I know it'll fit well for the wedding. I am committing to going walking or some form of exercise 3 times a week. I will increase the times as the weather warms up and the days stay lighter longer. Pravda: Happy birthday to you!!! Remember, 30 is just a number. My DH's grandmother at 90 years said that she still felt 18 inside and that's what counts!! Have a wonderful day! BethAnn: WTG on the points. I know how difficult it is. Are you doing any exercising at all? That'll help a lot too. Gary: Did your son's team win? I really miss those days of watching ball. My ds was a really good player but doesn't play anymore. I love the atmosphere and being able to relax (?) and watch the game. Sami: How are your inlaws doing? You are all in my prayers!! Have a great day and do something special for yourselves this weekend!! AngelCat 03-15-2002, 10:35 PM I don't know what I should weigh, different charts give conflicting numbers from other charts. Some charts say I'm small boned, some say I'm medium boned. My BMI finally says I'm in a "normal" range(barely). In past years it said I was borderlne obese.I guess I just want to loose fat and have good muscle tone with some definition to it. I have to drop body fat % to see any of the muscle i'm working hard to build. I'm not sure how much body fat I have.The scale can be misleading because muscle weighs more than fat does. I've never found a weight range for those who do a lot of weight training. My starting weight this time around is 150.60 I'm 5 ft 4 and a size 12. I started reducing my calories in early Jan. I didn't hit the gym till mid Jan. I'd like to loose 2 clothing sizes. I'm not sure if that is possible because last time it took me loosing 20 pounds before I dropped a size. I don't think dropping 40 pounds is possible for me. :( As far as church goes, I do go to church every week.My congregation is mostly elderly people. My church has many different service times, so any new faces are figured to just be people from a different service. I'm a very shy person untill i am around people for quite awhile. I'm not married and I don't have kids so that seems to outcast me to some extent away from other people my age. Eeyore's Sun 03-16-2002, 08:43 AM Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! Boy, have I missed ya'll. I haven't had the time to post and now don't have time to go back and read everyone's posts but I will soon. I've been working a lot of overtime and my only time off was spent with the oldest DD since she is on spring break. Today I have 6 patients and have to go about an hour drive to the "big city" to order my contacts and I hope to sneak over to the arts and crafts fair they are having there. :smug: I absolutely adore crafts! Well, I was down 0.5 lbs this week. :moo: Not much but I will take it just the same. Haven't been doing the treadmill like I should cause the belt has messed up and we had to order another one. DH is going to put it on today. Can you believe it? We bought this treadmill the first week in February!!!! So........hopefully he will get it fixed so I can start the walking again. :jig: Well, I gotta go get ready for work. Everyone take care, good luck with WI's, Welcome to all the newcomers, and I will check back in when I can. Miss you all!!!!! Zoe 03-16-2002, 08:57 AM Good Saturday Morning everyone :wave: Well, here it is, another Saturday. I LOVE Saturdays....no work to get up to, no work the next day so I can just have a peaceful mind. :lol: I have an appt at 8am for a manicure and while I do that, my car will get inspected. I found out yesterday that we have a black tie affair to attend next Sunday, the 24th. Now, there I was, in my car yesterday, driving and talking out loud...."I'm being punished. Ok, maybe just being taught a lesson. If I had been sticking to my eating plan and not going on these 'binges', I wouldn't be feeling like I was going to have to sausage into some long gown and look like a ball. :(:(" <sigh>.....so I'll be shopping for a dress this weekend and all of next week, getting depressed.....hey, ok Lord, I know, I know ~ You are trying to show me that I really do need to get rid of this 40 or so pounds....ok, I really do want to and I really do understand. I'll suffer through this event and then, I'll be looking great by the tme the company Christmas party comes around in the beginning of December..........Hey, thanks for listening to that my friends :) Ginny ~ Hope you're feeling energized now and not so tired. I get like that too sometimes and I hate the feeling. Walking will tend to make you feel better. Gary ~ thanks so much for your advise. I had already decided to put the journal (for eating) away and your idea about the writing of anything else is a good one. I had been feeling like I was trapped in this DIET thing and it was getting me down. I want to be able to eat when I'm hungry and not just because I WANT it. I am so bad that way so I'm praying about that. Oh, and the Amazing Race was good. I saw the first one too and that was great.....this one looks to be a good one too. Hope you can catch it. Sami ~ I am praying for your MIL and FIL. I pray for you too, that God will keep you strong through all this. As for the doctor, I would report him to wherever you report doctors. That sounds a little 'fishy' to me. AngelCat ~ Welcome to a wonderful group. Even though being around other Christians is a blessing, you can now come in here and fellowship with us. :) I have friends that are Christians but I do not live with any. :( So I know how you feel. Where do you live? Rural or city? Maybe a change in church to a younger crowd, may be good for you. Beth Anne ~ Congrats on staying within your points!! I know that can be difficult at times. 14 lbs!!! Woo Hoo....keep up the good work girl! Wilma ~ good going on your walking. I've been using my treadmill about 4 times a week. I am now thinking about roller skating with a friend. I hear that it's great exercise and I think I'll love it. Pravda ~ Hope you had a great B'day yesterday. I fell apart when I turned 30 but I made it through and to be honest, I wish I was 30 again .....:lol: Hope I didn't miss anyone. Gotta run and get ready to go. Have a wonderfully blessed day everyone. Zoe <>< Doin It Right 03-17-2002, 08:22 PM Hi Christian Chicks, I havent been on the computer much this week. Real busy and tired, also my eating has been way off program which is probably why I'm not feeling alot better. I had doctor's appointments 2 times after work this week and my daughter was also sick. This combined with work had me stuffing my face and falling into bed. Definitely feeling the sugar blues. Weighed down with the yuks. On a more positive note, I did walk the track,3 times this week. I am now trying to get back in the groove with my program and I will try to walk 4 times this week. Oh yeah , I did make it to church today although I wasn't feeling much better. Love in Christ,De sami 03-18-2002, 12:43 AM Blessing this evening, I am feeling really stressed today. It has caused my head to pound all day. My FIL isn't doing well. I think he is filling up with fluids again and is becoming very depressed. My MIL got the bad news that she has a 99% blockage in her neck and will have to have surgery. They are worried that she will have another stroke if they don't do it soon. And my nephew who had the bad infection and had surgery to remove it the infection has come back and may need surgery again. And this morning I did a blood stick and my fasting was 149 so my blood sugars are up again. The plus is my scales say I have lost another 2 lbs! I need your prayers to help me through this stress. Sorry to not address all of you will post more Mon. Thank you for being such a blessing! Sami Doin It Right 03-18-2002, 07:39 AM Holding up your hands in prayer Sami. The stress causes your blood sugar to go up. Not that knowing that will help. Love in Christ,DE losing4good 03-18-2002, 11:54 AM Hello all! Good Monday morning to you! I'm sorry I'm not checking in more often, but time really does get away from me as I'm chasing these kids all day! HEY!! That counts for exercise, right? ;) Beth Anne... all those trips to the bathroom count for exercise too!!!! I lost one more pound last week... and I know it's purely God's grace! My eating has been a terrible struggle. Do any of you, especially those doing WW, plan out your day's meals? I think I really need to do this! You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to do, but for some reason, I'm really having a tough time getting that done. Another question... are all proteins created equal??? I was told proteins are good for "stickin with you". If the protein in sharp cheese is the same as the protein in a slice of American... then I'd be wise to use the slice of American and save a couple points... but if they aren't equal... gives me a reason to eat my yummy sharp cheddar!! Can I go strictly on the protein count, or their more to it? Thanks for all your help. Sami - sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time right now. Remember to take time for yourself to be with God...let him refresh you in all this! Ginny and others.... I hope all is going well with you! This is a NEW day in the Lord!!!! Patricia 173/159/156 (first mini)/105ish BA99TJ 03-18-2002, 12:50 PM Hey all, its monday again.. can you believe it??? I can hardly believe that this friday marks 4 weeks I've been doing this... Time is just FLYING by.. its unbelieveable!!! Sami- I am DEFNIATELY praying for you. Health is such a struggle sometimes, because to a certain extent you have no control over it!! And obviously there is nothing you can do for those around you... its very hard!! Zoe-- find something you feel you look good in!! I know you can. Don't feel guilty for where you are at now, work with it!! I have yet to find a time where I couldn't look alright when going out.... There is ALWAYS something to find that flatters you. Have the girls at the store help you... look for things on the net.. My fave new "black tie" dress is a nice stretchy black sheath with white detail around the collar that I wear with mid-thigh length top! Hides everything! Pravada- happy bday late!! hope it was great!!! wilma - great job walking!! I have been SO bad about getting out.. but the weather has NOT been cooperating!!!!! I'll try to get motivated- not today though, its SNOWING! Angel- glad you have a church to go to!!! Hopefully you can find some support from us too! Sherry- Welcome back!! missed you!! Good job on the loss... I count ANYTHING that is not a gain as success!!! So at least I have been walking around.. not completely sedentary... did some cooking, laundry, walked to the bathroom a zillion times... Took Jocelyn to see Ice Age yesterday, it was hysterical!!! Definately enjoyed that one. Colored my hair this weekend... my blonde highlights were turning a funky orange-ish color. I was depressed on saturday, so it was either change my hair or eat 27 cadbury cream eggs... I chose the hair. So now its a nice deep brown with red highlights. I'm excited, I like it a lot!!! Most of my friends have also given tremendously positive responses... especially DH who LOVES it. He says its close to the color it was when I met him. Hadn't seen my mom in a week... she said I definately look thinner. My jeans I just bought (3 days before I started trying to lose) are already getting too big!! (I'm not complaining!!!!!!!) Still weigh the same.. but I did eat a little over this weekend. I'm just praying the weather changes so I Can get OUTSIDE!!! wilma12 03-18-2002, 02:59 PM Good Day!! It's finally quit snowing here so I may be able to get out for a walk after work. I thought about it yesterday afternoon but then I heard the wind howling and wimped out. We also had KFC for lunch which hasn't helped any. Today, though, I had a healthy breakfast and a great lunch so I feel like I'm on my way. I have to get groceries after work so I'm stocking up on things I should be eating - not what I want to be eating. Beth Anne: It looks like we're both waiting for the weather to smarten up! Doesn't it feel good to have someone notice your loss? Keep it up!! Ginny: Let's get through this together. Meal planning is such a great idea. I know I need to do it. Want to try posting what we eat here and help each other with ways to improve? Sami: You and your family are still in my prayers. Give God your stress. He can handle it!! De: I hope this week goes better for you. Check in with us when you can! Zoe: I know exactly how you feel about having to squeeze back into some clothes that were once loose. Keep up with the walking and they'll loosen again. Eeyore's Son: Check in when you can! We need you! I hope you got your treadmill fixed. Have a great day! Talk to you again later!! ECmom 03-19-2002, 12:46 AM Good evening dear CE'ers, Praise and thanks to each of you who have been so thoughtful and encouraging. I had a very busy weekend- (Ds's birthday) and now a stomach bug seems to be running thru the house. So, I will not be able to leave much of a post tonite. Sami- I will keep your inlaws in prayer (and you too!) I had better get some sleep. Ginny Zoe 03-19-2002, 09:00 AM Good Morning my friends ~ Well, I made it through another Monday and am happy to say that today, I feel good. I am ready for the challenge of losing 10% by the end of spring, starting tomorrow (first day of spring) made with another thread I am on. I am SO ready for this. I am also happy to note that I have found a dress to wear to the black tie affair I am attending this weekend so that is out of the way. Not a size 12 but hey, I found something. :) De ~ I pray you are feeling better now. Sami ~ Stress can really get to you, believe me, I know first hand. I am praying for your relaxation. Patricia ~ PTL on losing another pound. I was doing WW but felt so trapped in the diet thing....the journal, the counting, the don't eat this and don't eat that, the weighing.....etc, etc, etc. So I decided to put the food journal away and go with God's guidance to eat only when I'm hungry and to make better choices. But when I WAS doing it, yes, I planned out my day as often as I could. Beth Anne ~ praise God, you are doing so great!! This will show you a reward, the reward of a new you ~ healthier and thinner. Keep up the good work!! Wilma ~ glad you could finally get a walk in and the snow has stopped. I am walking on the treadmill, trying for 4 days a week, 20 minutes. I'm not worried so much about the distance as I am doing the 20 minutes. Hopefully, I can increase to 30 minutes soon. I even got some treadmill in this morning, before work!! Woo Hoo!! Only 10 minutes but hey, I did get on it. :) Ginny I pray that this bug going through your house leaves as fast as it came. Prayers for you and your family for wellness. to everyone else....hi and have a great day! ECmom 03-19-2002, 12:28 PM Good morning! Zoe- congrats on finding a dress.

But I timed the walk around and it only takes 10 minutes. We use to walk the dogs on the dykes a few years back. I liked that,but everyone says I walk too slow. I like to walk slow.

About This Project
We couldn't find a mid-height, double loft bed for our daughter that we liked that wasn't ridiculously expensive, so we decided to build one ourselves! I found some awesome plans on this website and played around with a few until I created exactly what we wanted. I mostly used the Full Size Farmhouse Bed plan but also used some aspects from the loft bed plan for the guardrails and the bottom rails. Then we went out and bought the wood and started building! This is really the first thing that I have ever built (my husband has never built anything either) and it turned out so well. I think it is gorgeous and I am so proud of it! This is my first brag post so forgive me if I am doing it wrong! Lots of instructions on how I built it below, so scroll down if you just want to see the pictures.
I used Google Sketch-Up to build the bed first and to tweak the plans. Below I will explain some of the changes that I made.
- I actually did not trim anything off of the ends of the head board or foot board as shown in the Full sized bed plans. I just built the bed to be as wide as 8 x 1x8s and adjusted the plan accordingly. I figured that if I had to climb up there to change the sheets, the extra room around the mattress would be appreciated. The 1x8s that I used were 7 1/4" wide.
- I bolted a 2x4 to the 4x4 posts right under the foot board and headboard panels for the side rail supports to sit on. I wanted it to be extra strong as the bed was going to be up high and I figured the bed would take a lot of abuse from the kids.
- The siderails were made from a 2x10 glued and screwed to a 2x4. The 2x4 sits on top of the 2x4s at the bottom of the headboard and footboard panels and is screwed into the 4x4 posts. The 2x10s are also screwed into the 4x4 posts.
- Since the mattress would be sitting up higher on the headboard and footboard than in the original plans, I added 3" to the length of the 1x8s used in the panels.
- I had planned to make a slatted base out of 1x4s to support the mattress so I also placed 2 x 2x4s on edge lengthwise down the middle of the bed to support the slats. Those 2x4s are also supported on top of the 2x4s at the bottom of the head and foot boards. The inexpensive 1x4s here are very rough on the one side which I did not want touching the mattress or for the kids to get splinters from while playing under the bed. The nice ones were super expensive at around $18 for a 14' board. It turned out to be less expensive and much less work to buy a queen sized slatted bed base from the big Blue and Yellow inexpensive furniture store here and trim the ends of the boards to length with my mitre saw. n even bigger bonus is that the wood is already finished and didn't require anything further than screwing it down to the supports.
- I made the height of the area under the bed 45" (just tall enough for DD to stand under for now) and adjusted the length of the 4x4 posts accordingly.
- I assembled the bed into different large pieces before bringing it inside. The headboard and footboard are 2 solid sections that cannot be taken apart. The side pieces are made to be able to come off if we ever need to move the bed.
- I couldn't find any really good instructions anywhere on how to build a ladder or to change ladder plans to suit our needs so I built it after the bed was built. I found it easier to envision this way and to figure out the angles. I build the ladder out of 2x3s.
I have the Google Sketch-Up plans for the bed (minus the ladder) if anyone is interested, but as I said before, I am not an experienced builder so I do not think I should post them here. Maybe someone can use them as a base to create their own plan with though. I found Sketch-up to be a very valuable tool as I actually "built" the bed virtually before ever touching the wood. It helped me figure out what order to put things together in and also allowed me to perfect my design before making any cuts. It still took many trips to and discussions with people at my local Orange store to figure out what kind of fasteners to use and where to use each type. I brought printouts of my plans so that they would be able to help me better.
A couple of finishing touches that I did:
- I sewed some pretty curtains and hung them from aircraft cable and eye hooks under the bed.
- The back of her dresser was exposed under the bed and did not look very nice so I created a magnetic wall by screwing some inexpensive metal sheets meant for ducts to the back of it. I have temporarily covered all of the exposed edges with pink patterned duct tape but plan to trim it out at some point.
Hope you like it!

Awesome Job and Awesome Bed!!
Congratulations on a terrific bed! I love the looks of it and appreciate all the hard work that you put into it. It definitely shows in the end project. My daughter is moving into a house with 3 other girls and has a very small bedroom. As she will be in her 3rd year in a nursing program, it is imperative that she have a quiet space to study. We believe that can still be accomplished if we build a loft bed so a couch or other furniture could reside underneath. Would it be possible to look at your plans? My email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone and welcome to the special Rock Lee report. Since I can't comment on the Rock Lee Discussion thread, it looks I have to do some reports to remind the community about the hilarious misadventures of Rock Lee and His Ninja Pals. After episode 9, I had to copy down Crunchyroll Synopsis. I fell behind in the wiki work.
Neji takes on a serious role in this story where he trains Hinata to be the best and eliminate others who dare harm his cousin. In the second story, Rock Lee becomes the love guru for Hinata and helps her win Naruto's heart by following four principles. Will Hinata be able overcome her bashfulness with Naruto around?
Highlights: It has some serious moments in Neji's flashbacks, and Hinata finally appear. Neji seems to have some kind of sisterly complex with Hinata, and Hinata faints whenever she sees Naruto.
After seeing Shikamaru and Chouji in action, Lee attempts to strengthen his friendship with Neji and perfect their own combo moves. The Leaf ninja are scheduled to take an IQ test, but on the way to the exam, Lee's team discovers Guy-sensei collapsed on the ground! They'll have to push their brains to the limit to solve this mystery.
By Crunchyroll
Highlights: The cool thing about this episode is that how they compared Shikamaru and Choji's childhood bond to Rock Lee and Neji's rivalry in a test of teamwork. Shikamaru is such a smart ass in this episode.
Lee and Naruto are both vying to be on Sakura's team for a research trip to the old capitol city. But when they're stuck with Neji instead, they settle for tailing her. Evening falls and Lee wants to slip away from the senseis to go hang out with the girls. He sends Konohamaru in to do some recon, While the young ninja is caught, he manages to leave behind a single scrap of paper.
By Crunchyroll
Highlights: Besides the awesome school version of Rock Lee's show, Rock Lee and his gang are facing against Kakashi and Might Guy in order to get in with the ladies. I like how the Might Guy and Kakashi got them in the end.
Fed up with their pupils using their ninja skills for the simplest of tasks, Guy and Kakashi set out to teach them some appreciation. Lee is training in the train without an umbrella, when he sees Sakura getting soaked as well. Naruto appears with an umbrella to save the day, and a jealous Lee has to choose between training and love.
By Crunchyroll
Highlights: Despite that we don't get a reason why Rock Lee is infatuated with Sakura, it's nice to see Kakashi getting in the comedic business while Rock Lee's pals cheer up poor Rock Lee.
The ninjas of the Hidden Leaf are being tested on their combat skills, and Team Guy must win a match against their sensei in order to pass. Neji and Tenten succeed using their special moves, but how will Lee stand up to Guy-sensei's Morning Peacock.
By Crunchyroll
Highlights: The zany relationship between Might Guy and Rock Lee is tested when Might Guy finds Naruto surpassing Kakashi. This episode was great and the humor is bit bizarre as hell.
Fewer children in the Hidden Leaf Village are choosing to become ninjas. Lee goes to talk to Guy-sensei about the issue, only to overhear his idol say "Ninjutsu is the most important part of being a ninja! On his way to visit a hospitalized Guy-sensei, Lee hears Tsunade say he "doesn't have much time left." Can Lee whip up a curry dish that's spicy enough to save his teacher's life?
By Crunchyroll
Highlights: Naruto and Shikamaru do a good job in wowing the kids; Rock Lee tries using flatulence to wow the children which is nasty but works. There is a big curry demand. For Naruto, it's ramen; for Rock Lee, it's curry. There are some anime references that are unknown for some folks like me.
Feel free to share your favorite Rock Lee moments or bad ones here or in the discussion thread. Though, I hope we can do it in the discussion thread since Tom Pinchuk and I are behind in Rock Lee.

Mountain Pointe badminton coach Kevin Quick admits his team was feeling the jitters the last time it faced No. 1 Horizon.
"We played tough," said Quick of the Pride's 7-2 loss earlier this year, "but we could have played better."
The second-seeded Pride will get that opportunity after defeating No. 3 Xavier 5-1 in the semifinals of the 5A state team badminton tournament Wednesday at Dobson High School.
Mountain Pointe, the 2003-04 state champ, will take on Horizon at 5:30 p.m. today at Dobson.
Mountain Pointe's top seeds, Carissa Guthrie and Alexandra Elston, got their team off to a quick start with a straight-set win and No. 4 Casey Lindquist turned in the pivotal win of the match, defeating the Gators' Zoe Caznar-Lewandowski, 11-8, 1-11, 11-8, to put Mountain Pointe in command.
Mountain Pointe's No. 4 and 5 singles players, Rudi O'Keefe Zelman and Ashley Dreas, made doubles a moot point by winning their matches to close out Xavier, the defending 5A champ. While the Pride are looking for revenge today, Horizon got a bit of its own by knocking off No. 4 seed Chandler 5-2 at Dobson.
It was the Wolves who knocked the Huskies from the state semifinals one year ago and Horizon coach Jen Miller said her players were thinking of little else.
"This was redemption day for us," Miller said. "We came out of the guns running and just played great."
Horizon's Bri Chapin got things rolling with an 11-8, 11-0 win over Chandler's Sasha Wilson and Horizon's Torrie Frazier, Meg Burghardt and Jen Lehrman also won their singles matches.
Frazier and Burghardt then beat Chandler's Doreen Zao and Neha Giridharon, 15-8, 15-3, in doubles to advance to the finals.
Miller insisted her team is not overconfident despite its earlier win over the Pride.
"That was then and this is now," she said. "It's going to be a great match."

Are You Easily Seduced?
In my coaching practice, I see various types of women of all ages, backgrounds and professions. Most of them are getting over the man who blew into their lives as a fantasy, great lover or trustworthy confidant, whom they eventually fell in love with only to end up heartbroken. What I found fascinating is that although many of these women suffered with intolerable heart break that they no longer wanted to feel, they also refused to take my advice or let me help them because they did not want to let go of the euphoria invoked by the memories of a man who broke their heart. When my clients explain to me their stories from beginning to end, I immediately see the red signs from the start. It also becomes clear to me that these men were able to manipulate and seduce these women because of their emotional vulnerabilities at the time. Single In Italy: A Recipe For Seduction
Many of my clients came to me not wanting to get better or get over the "Don Juan" who left them blue, but would attempt to use our sessions together to fill the void left after the absence of the love they thought they once had. After studying The Art of Seduction: An Indispensible Primer on The Ultimate form of power by Robert Greene, I was able to learn so much about why some women are easier to be seduced than others and what characteristics make a woman more seducible than another. Read below and discover if you are a seducible woman who is at risk of heartbreak if the right 'Casanova' comes along!
1. Dissatisfied With Life: It may be that she is unhappy with her job, her marriage or life in general...but this single woman who's dating is an easy target for the sophisticated seduction of a man with short term plans for love in his life. Women who are dissatisfied with their life are easy to be seduced because the 'Casanova' simply needs to fill that void or take their minds off of their unhappy reality by creating a fantasy that provides a temporary escape from reality. If you want a healthy love experience to show up for you, start today and begin falling in love with yourself and your life. If there is something you are dissatisfied with, change it and create the reality you desire...and only then will you be a hard target for a seducer on the loose! Do You Love Yourself?

The Safest House in the World
It wasn't so long ago that panic rooms were thought of as little more than a plot line for a Jodi Foster film or an expensive eccentricity of the paranoid. No more. Nowadays, increasing numbers of homeowners are spending big bucks to have panic rooms, safe cores and other sorts of high-tech security systems installed in their home to ensure their family and possessions are kept safe from intrepid intruders and other calamitous events.
One residence, located high in the hills above Los Angeles, goes several steps further than a simple but effective panic room. The lavish and luxurious appointments of the sky-high mansion discreetly hide and disguise a security system so tight that it just may be the safest house in the world.
