The Bay Area is in for a rare treat at the Richmond Art Center in Richmond ,CA. Reclusive Dave Yoas will be exhibiting 6 of his incredible tin artworks during their members show and his work is being spot lighted along with Edyth Bresnahan and Jan Martin. You may have seen photos here but they do not compare to seeing Dave's work up close and personal. Each piece has so many fine details that the camera just can't capture. For information on the up coming show click here. (Incidentally the Richmond Art Center showcased my line drawings in 1972)

Dave Yoas, Edyth Bresnahan, Jan Martin, Tin Artwork
These 3 posts are of a recent tin artwork by Dave Yoas, one of my favorite all time tin workers.
This piece is entitled Bearly Dreaming. These are photos Dave took to show the completed artwork in details. You can click on an image to enlarge it so you don't miss anything, there is so much to see.
Fishes, butterflies, a bird and bees. So much attention has been paid to the details, like the red poppy headband to the burning teddy bears.
Imagine just collecting the perfect tins to make this work, that alone is a feat. Not to even mention figuring out the composition and construction. (Here's a photo of Dave and Harriete Estel Berman)

This is what happens when you have two shows happening at the same time and you promise a piece to one venue then decide it needs to go to the other. Frankly I've never had this problem (?) before, I try to schedule shows with months (or a year) between them. The invitation to show at an art museum with only about 6 weeks notice was too good to pass up. What artist doesn't want an art museum line for their resume? The other show was planned for in 2013. As similar as these two pieces are they each feel a little different. I thought it was interesting to see them side by side.

Reception and Artist Talks Thursday April 9th 6-9pm
With sculpture, drawing and painting, Eric Carson, Mark Daughhetee, and Jenny Fillius each work with found mythology to suggest themes of reclamation and devotion in our contemporary world.
Eric Carson uses the format of the mandala [the Hindu/Buddhist ritualistic design that organizes a spiritual experience in visual terms] to symbolically connect the world's religions to each other, and to comment on the intersection of those beliefs with political and cultural issues. The way these line-based drawings are made—as well as their content—suggests a hybrid of references, from Western cartoons to Hieronymus Bosch to Hindu devotional painting. Carson writes, "These pieces present insight traditions around the world as petals of the same flower, not creeds to divide by or kill for."
Mark Daughhetee's Stations series of assemblage sculptures pay homage to old TV shows like Bonanza and The Lawrence Welk Show. Plastic cowboys stand stoically among clumps of hobby shop moss under a peaked roof. The format is reminiscent of compositions from the Renaissance and inspired by roadside memorials, as well as Thai spirit houses. Humor, child-like reverence for TV, and manhood (as defined by old Hollywood) are the main characters. Daughhetee writes, "Like one's journey through life, each television program, in its turn, occupied center stage for a while and left when the curtain fell for the last time."
Describing her process, Jenny Fillius writes "Being observant, anything can trigger an idea—an overheard expression, something on the street, an experience, the metal, a broken tin toy; literally anything." Fillius finds and repurposes decorative sheet metal in the form of broken toys and used tin food containers to make sculptures suggestive of the retablos of Mexican folk art. Since most of the metal Fillius uses appears to have come from one's childhood, or one's parent's childhood, the narratives that ensue are partly-articulated hints that nostalgia has gone awry in some way that we in 2015 are privy to.

"Tin as an artistic medium is fairly unusual even though it has surrounded us for many decades. With the surge in interest in environmental conservation, it is no wonder artists have found their way to contribute by recycling tins into artistic expression.
Each of the artists in this show have their own stories of becoming attracted to tin, discovering their own very personal methods of dealing with a difficult material, and, in the process, developing their own styles. In learning more about these artists, it seems most of them are "obsessed" to some degree with the material. They seem to love the process of searching out tins and collecting them (hoarding?). They see some promising detail or color scheme that resonates with their personal vision, but not sure when or where any particular tin will come into "being" as an artwork.
Tin Art, in the hands of these artists, while already being manufactured with bright graphic images, comes through as a reflection of our cultural and social past, though filtered and projected by each artist's individual vision. We all have a relationship with tin. As we look closely at these artworks, we will also tend to find our own past buried deep within these works."
- Bill Baran-Mickle, Guest Curator
Exhibit runs until June 7th.

Thought about this for a while. Making it was really fun and I want to do more with tab and slot . I love the absence of nails.
It was hard not to goop it up with flowers or birds and butterflies. Maybe the next one will get gooped up.

This is a beautiful tin work brooch made by Emily Hickman and it's available at her Etsy site.
There are literally hundreds of artists making tin jewelry these days. But few are doing it as well as Emily.
Emily's attention to detail and fine cutting ability put her head and shoulders above the rest. Her work is well thought out and crafted, making it highly desirable.
Learn about Emily and see more of her fine art jewelry here and here .

Sometimes I get great rushes of ideas, other times I can ponder one idea for months. Lately I've been thinking about moving into connecting tin with tabs, or with wire. This came from an a dream where there was a tin quilt that looked like it was melting. Rather than create the entire piece only a portion was put together.
Sometimes a rivet is good and other times I don't want to see it. This is done with slot and tab. I rather like it and want to expand on this idea.

re-purposed tin, recycled tin art
While driving home across the Frist Avenue Bridge a big truck passed me. My window was down and I found myself listening for the sound of chains rattling. Then I wondered what the chains on semis were for. Then I thought about how strong chains are, yet flexible . Next I wondered if I could make chains out of tin. Strips could be cut and then they would have to join some how. Eyelets? Too impractical. Flaps that pinch the ends together, nope. Tab and slot? YES!
Thinking about how to improve them. Cutting the strips uniform lengths then using a wooden dowel to make them more round would work. Hum, so much to think about.

Tin chains
It's been hard to find the right tin in this storage shed. Knowing it's in there and not being able to lay my hands on it can be frustrating.
So begins the process of flattening and organizing. I thank my lucky stars for having an assistant to help with this arduous project.
I envy Harriete Estel Burman for how organized her tin is. Click on her name to see her studio.
So the shed is emptied and now the real work begins. Sorting and flattening the tin before the rain comes. It's a puzzle for my brain when it comes to sorting the tin. Separating it into colors is easy. A red bin, a green bin , no problem.
It's when there is a purple plaid with pink roses that my mind short circuits.Does it go in a purple bin? A bin with flowers or one with plaid. It's really hard to decide.

There is way more going on here than can be taken in with one photograph. Luckily there are multiple images to peruse. This tin artwork was created for Dave's good friend who lives in Holland. To see this image in a larger format just click on it. Can you find all six frogs?How many inscets can you find? Notice the detail stamped into the tin. Look at the glass eyes that were added to the tin toy frog coming out of the can. See the texture that was added to the metal that makes up the grassy area. Measures 13wide 16''x 13'' x8''.
This is such a brilliant tin work! To see even more images scroll down to next post.

The Animal Collective's Here Comes the Indian recalls that golden age of the "John Peel Band," where the venerable British DJ would flood London with kinetic seven-inch singles of no little oddity. The band takes lopsided indie rock à la Truman's Water, strips it of any remaining masculinity, quintuples the quirkiness, and records it through what sounds like tin cans and twine. It's a crude folk-pop-rock mash-up subjected to house-of-mirrors distortion and deeply unsettling noise. These bleakly pathetic little songs form the crooked backbone of the record. Bookending them, however, are two epic tracks of ebbing and flowing tidal action, wherein cats bay at the moon, cymbals are licked, strings pop, reel-to-reel tapes splutter, guitars squeal and humans squeal and the Smurfs sing "Kumbaya." You could call it creepy and twee (especially since these are grown men calling themselves things like Panda Bear and Geologist), and you'd be right. But Here Comes the Indian also makes for brilliant, playground seesaw sickness and uneasy listening 'round the old campfire.

Best place to get garden soil
I have three raised beds (3x3) to set up, and broccoli clamouring to be put outdoors. What I don't have is dirt.
I live in Aurora near Denver. Where's the best place to get organic garden soil? Lowes was a bust. Home Depot quoted me a price of $200 to get 30 cubic feet of soil plus a couple bags of compost plus shipping. And the woman was rather snotty to me on the phone. Especially considering that mine was a very large order.
Anyone got any ideas on where to get some quality organic garden soil?
BTW, I don't have a truck, or a boyfriend with a truck, or anything like that. So it would have to be delivered.
Appreciate any ideas.
Are you talking about bagged soil, Lilacs? Bulk soil is sold by the cubic yard, so since youÂre talking about cubic feet, I assume thatÂs what you mean. If thatÂs what youÂre looking for, you donÂt need a truck at all. I donÂt see how HD can possibly be quoting you $200 for 30 bags of soil. Even if theyÂre charging you $50 for delivery, thatÂs still $5 a bag. Are they selling you bagged gold dust! ;-)
WalMart has several different bagged soils, and from what I saw, theyÂre all under $2 a bag. IÂve been buying a bagged cow compost, and while you wouldnÂt want to use that as a basic planting soil, (IÂve been mixing it in my natural soil to improve it), itÂs only 98 cents a bag. IÂd go there and check out the other bagged soils they have. YouÂre just going to be planting veggies in itÂyou donÂt need anything fancy. Most of us plant our veggies in the good old native clay, and, for the most part, they do fine. Since you canÂt tell for sure what the soil in the bag is like till you get it home and open it, I recommend buying one bag of the 2 or 3 kinds you think will be the best and take them home and open them to decide which one you want more of.
Last time I got some, I got 10 bags, and could easily have gotten more in my trunk, and hadnÂt used the back seat at all, so you could possibly get all 30 bags at once, or, worse case scenario, youÂd need to make 2 trips. (I put an old blanket in the trunk and/or back seat when IÂm hauling stuff like that.) And you should be able to easily move individual bags yourselfÂIÂm 5'3" and 110 lbsÂand IÂm 63 years old! (somebody at WM will load it for you)
If you want to add anything to the bagged soil, I recommend just using Canadian peat. You can get the large bale probably still for under $15 (might need to go to HD or Lowes for thatÂnot sure if WM carries it), and then mix in about 20% peat after you dump out the bags.
If you want to get it bulk, Pioneer has locations all over Denver and has all kinds of landscaping supplies, including soilsÂbut I think theyÂre pretty expensive for their stepping stone type stuff. DonÂt know about soils. YouÂd need 3 yards, but then theyÂll dump it in the drive or somewhere when they deliver it and youÂll need to move it yourself to your beds. (Anywhere you get bulk soil will do it that way.)
Timberline gardens is on the wrong side of town for you, but they list their prices online, so you can at least use if for a comparison. Paulinos is closer, but still not too close at I25 and 58th Avenue, but they donÂt list their prices online, so youÂd need to call or stop by for prices.
For what you want to do, I sure would check out the WalMart option first. Compared to clay, your veggies are going to think they died and went to heaven in any bagged soil you use.
Hope some of this helps,

Look for coupons at some of the nurseries nearby. Right now they seem to be offering ones for soil. And I too would rather have the bags than dumping a bunch, only to have to shovel, wheel, shovel, dump. Walmart, yes for price.
Also, skybird invited me to go to the plant swap. I know you are working so this is a tough call on the Friday scheduled. But I have tons of lilacs which come up around the yard. I posted asking how to replant these on another thread. Would be willing to share some with you.
Just a note, if you have bulk delivered, put down a tarp before they dump. You will spend less time trying to get the last little bit and cleanup will be easier, pick up the tarp at the end. Of course you will need to be careful not to tear the tarp while shoveling. I bought some organic potting soil at a dollar store a while back that was really nice stuff in good size bags.
I recently got a load delivered of some coarse planting mix from Crystal Landscape in Fort Collins/Loveland...I'm very pleased with it.

Lilacs, If you are in need of 30 cu. ft of soil, but don't have a way to transport, I might be able to help you out. I live in Larkspur and work up at old Lowry Air Force Base (Yosemite and 6th)- sounds like you are near there and with a 40mile each way commute a few more miles to help out a fellow garden is no problem at all.
I can probably fit at a minimum half of what you need into my suv and make a couple trips after work or during lunch or drive my truck up for a one punch deal.
soo disappointing...
i got a yard and a half of "planters mix" which Pioneer employees told was their best, and ready for my vegetable garden. I had high hopes, was glad to not have 25 or 30 empty plastic bags, so i borrowed a truck and drove quite far to get "soil" - soo disappointing... i've found ground up wood with PAINT chips... clay, clay and more clay, with little rocks, and is that a piece of a shoe ?? too late now, but i wish i'd known. DO NOT GET SOIL FROM PIONEER, at least not if you want to feel good about eating the vegetables that grow out of it.
We just bought 2 pickup beds full of planter's mix from Pioneer in Boulder and it was nice quality, compost enriched soil with no clay, paint chips, or other debris in it. The only "chunks" I found were a couple of manure balls that hadn't fully broken down yet. Maybe the quality varies by site, but we've been pleased with our soil from them this time and in the past.
I have to second smuir's comment about the poor quality soil at Pioneer. I got 1.5 cubic yards of their planters mix for my raised vegetable beds and the soil is horrible. It's mostly clay with large clods that are impossible to break up. The soil surface would crack easily and be difficult to re-wet. I had to mix in a few bags of compost to make it usable for this year. Had I known how poor the soil was going to be, I would have paid a few more dollars and gotten some better quality stuff at one of the local nurseries.
BTW, I got the soil at their Aurora (6th & Chambers) location. Perhaps some of the other locations are better.
I've purchase alot of things (planter's mix, compost, wood chip mulch,stripstone, sandstone, rock etc.) from Pioneer in Aurora and have not been disappointed.
Their planter's mix does contain a good amount of clay but I don't have a problem with that.
I bought 28 yd3 of Pioneer's planter's mix for the big raised bed. I did a settle test and the texture was loam with a touch of sand. No complaints. We've spent a lot of money there and very satisfied - and I used to own a landscape design & construction business.
I'm in the process of building retaining walls for my garden. In the next week or two I'll be filling them with planter fill. I'd like to start out right if I'm going to haul dirt into the garden for days. Anyone ordered lately? Still having luck with Pioneer (or not)? Suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or words of advice!
Hi Curler,
Since you're in Lakewood I'd recommend you run over to Timberline and check out their mixes. Kelly makes some of the mixes he sells himself, and since he's a real gardener himself he knows what it takes to be able to grow things! If you go and have any questions, ask for Kelly, and if he's there he'll be able to help you find the best thing for whatever you're gonna use it for.
I've never bought bulk soils, but I suspect that at Pioneer (and some of the posts above bear this out) you may get a different quality depending on what location you happen to go to. If you decide to get some at Pioneer I'd definitely recommend you go to the location you're planning to get it from and check it out in person before you order it and pay for it.
Welcome to RMG. We're glad you found us!

I filled in my whole garden last year with the planters mix from Sate Fe Sand & Gravel. I am really happy with it. Everything I planted grew like gangbusters and this year, when I was out there working the compost into it, it was darn near as soft as it was the day I bought it. It sure wasn't cheap though, not sure how it compares to others as far as price.
Thanks for the suggestions! I stopped in at Santa Fe and their customer service was not great but they were pretty busy. And I can get a discount at Pioneer but I'm not sure it's worth it. I'll head over to Timberline and then make a decision.
I'm covering what to my untrained eye looks like clay with fairly high organics and lots of worms - but trampled some due to pulling a dozen stumps and putting in the retaining walls. Should I do anything before adding the 6 to 18" of planter mix? If the soil is too good will I be creating a bathtub if I just throw the new mix on top?
I can't decide if finding this forum is going to help or make me paranoid lol
If you have lots of worms in your soil, it sounds like you already have some pretty good soil. Guess that doesn't help a whole lot if you need more to fill raised beds, though! Whenever you're putting a different soil on top of an already existing layer it's a really good idea to mix the two soils together fairly well where they meet. So I'd recommend putting 6-8" of the new soil where it's gonna go, then till or dig the new stuff into the old stuff, and then add the rest of the new on top of the mixed layer. That should prevent any sort of problems with water transfer between the new and the old. If your current soil really does have lots of organic matter and worms, it's possible you wouldn't even need to do that, but better safe than sorry!
No fear on getting paranoid! Just check out the answers you get here and then pick the one or ones you like the best for yourself. The best way to garden is YOUR way! And the only way to figure that out is trial and error, which we all do---over and over and over.......
P.S. If you get a chance, head on over to the Who's Here in 2014 thread and introduce yourself a little more.
P.P.S. If you do get around to heading over to Timberline, you might want to take a zipper baggie of your current soil with you to see if you can get a general opinion on its quality.

Canon's PowerShot S100 succeeds the S95, a high performance model that many consider to be the best deal in the ultracompact market. The latest iteration of this popular point-and-shoot offers more refinement than reinvention, though that's hardly a bad thing in today's saturated market. Most notably, the S95's old CCD has been replaced with a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, and GPS functionality has also been added.

Keeping the Peace: Mother and Husband
I'm asking this question while trying to be a good daughter. (I suppose it could go on the marriage forum as well).
My mother, divorced from my father, has never accepted my husband (she is the only person in my family who has not.) I think mostly out of jealousy (sense of losing me) and also my husband is a lot like her (strong-willed). I have been married 6 years, and basically my mother and husband both dislike each other (I can't blame my husband at all in this situation). My mother continuously puts my husband down (She even did it while I was in labor -- he was out of the room) when he's not around. To keep the peace (and my own fragile relationship with my mother on an even keel), I ignore it or occasionally defend him when I feel it is necessary (obviously, I never share any of this with my husband). I only tell her good things about him and never complain.
We live in a different state. Mostly I go visit my mother without my husband, and it doesn't cause a problem. However, for various reasons, every 3-4 months my mother comes here to visit. My husband does his best to avoid her but we have a small house. My mother tries to act like all is well and engage him in conversation, etc. He's not one to pretend and is glacially polite (has never been anything but).
But the tension is killing me each time this happens. I can't very well kick my husband out of our own house during these visits. But they are miserable when my mom and husband are in the same room. For me, it causes a lot of stress.
Any thoughts on how I can reduce my own stress during these visits?
My mom and I have always had a turbulent relationship. I have periodically been estranged from her; however, I have always felt that for my own peace, I need to work on our relationship and I know she loves me very much. She is a generous person and adores her grandchild (our son). We just disagree on my husband! I have tried to "change" her all her life without success, so I now just focus on the good things in our relationship. Having our son has helped immensely in taking her focus off of me.
Well good for you, goodhome, for taking such a responsible position, in your relationship with you mother. (I really like your expression "glacially polite", it really sums up what is going on!".
Your mother is not helping you, by making derogatory remarks about your husband. She needs to realize that you have made your choice, and she should respect that. Your relationship is further strained, because if you have problems with your husband, in the future, you won't be able to turn to her for advice, because she will undoubtably say "I told you so".
I would have a chat with your mother and say to her that its unacceptable for her to denigrate your husband and you want it to cease. If she wants to visit, then those are the rules.
After all, she loves her grandson, and he is half your husband !
Let the past stay in the past, and start afresh with the new rule.
Thanks for your responses. I couldn't ask her to stay in a hotel. That just isn't done in my or my husband's family. It would be very hurtful.
I've tried confronting her about speaking about my husband before, but she doesn't wish to understand. She says her comments are because she is concerned about me and that I don't let "other people" walk all over me. Also, she doesn't want to see me being treated like a "doormat". (These have been her perpetual concerns all my life, no matter how I happen to feel about any particular situation).
"I couldn't ask her to stay in a hotel. That just isn't done in my or my husband's family. It would be very hurtful."
More hurtful than letting her destroy your husband in HIS own home? Just because something hasn't been done in the past doesn't mean it isn't time for a change now. You're putting your mother ahead of your husband--that's a situation that you will regret sooner or later. When you marry, the person you put FIRST is your spouse. If your extended family cannot respect your marriage, then you have to make some changes.
I'm sorry--in this case, you seem to be bending over backward to enable your mother to hurt your husband. At every turn, I'd have handled things differently. First, my mother wouldn't have been in the delivery room with me--that's a husband/wife event, that should NOT include other family, IMO (I realize not everyone agrees--just expressing my feeling). Especially if my husband and mother didn't get along, and I knew it, there would have been no way my mom would have been invited to that event. Then, if she dared bad-mouth my husband at that point in time, I'd have insisted she be removed from the room. I absolutely would not have listened or played referee. And no way would I EVER let any family member (mine or his) make my husband uncomfortable in his own home.
I have a rule that I've taught my daughter well--if the person is someone you wouldn't normally let in your life as you met them as a stranger, there's no reason to cowtow to them, merely because of an accident of birth.
You've got to decide--which is more important? Your mother or your husband? If you continue to allow your mother free rein, she's GOING to destroy your marriage--which sounds like it's what she wants. Or you can be the adult here, and let your mother know, in no uncertain terms that you love her, but you aren't going to allow her to hurt the others you love. Make some rules, let HER be the one to make the decision. If she violates the house rules (NO criticizing your husband, even behind his back)--then it's HER choice to stay at a hotel next time around. Let her know up front, she's welcome to visit as long as she knows how to behave as a proper guest, but don't feel a bit guilty if you have to put your foot down--I really think that foot may be the step that saves your marriage in the long run.
Agree with azzalea, and am flabbergasted that anyone would suggest THE HUSBAND move into a hotel during MIL's visit! Seems to me, with the expressed hostility from the MIL, *SHE* should be the one staying in a hotel!!!
No way would my husband be made to feel uncomfortable in his own home. That's not right.
I am going through an equally if not more disturbing relationship with my mother. It's as if it's a disease that is eating my mind away, how can she constantly disrespect her daughter's husband, this is someone very important to her daughter. In my case, I have now started speaking up after years of staying quiet and I am now drawing the line after my mother gossiped about my husband's family and shut the phone on his face when he confronted her. That was it. But then again I'm a daughter so after a few days, I sent her videos pics of my child again. She later started complimenting my sister's husband profusely on a group chat just to make my husband feel horrible. It has now after this point led me to seriously put my foot down 'cause she finds every opportunity to walk over my husband. She can't get access to my daughter unless she learns to respect my husband. I learnt that by me letting her be with my child without my husband she was getting more encouraged and felt she could do whatever and it will be ignored.
It is the saddest thing in life because your mother is able to hurt you like none other but instead of a constant emotional rollercoaster, it's time to take control of your life and how you want to shape it going forward. Do you want to be a happy mother who focuses her energy on healthy issues and her child's development or one that is caught in these emotional games?
If your husband is being disrespected by your mother, it is your place to stop it. If his mother were doing that to you it would be his responsibility to stop her. I am sorry to say but I think your husband will one day leave the mess his life is. To save your marriage I think you should stop your mother from disrespecting your husband. Your children will see this kind of behavior and may grow to do the same thing. Personally I would leave my husband if he did not stand up for me.

Got my pickle ornament!
lol! I've wanted a pickle ornament ever since I first saw one a couple of years ago. I snapped one up when I saw it at the $ store the other day! now to just remember that I have it. :)
PM, how fun you found a pickle for your tree. If not a dish for now how about with your wrapping paper or bows? If your like me you'll be wrapping present up until Christmas Eve.
I store mine with my other ornaments. I had a couple of purple ones but DD and DGD has them now. I was trying to find enough to decorate a pickle tree for a few years.LOL
Nana, that's the way I've heard it too. A quick Google
search would bring up several articles on this I'm sure.
I like the idea of everyone bringing a gift for the stocking
and who ever finds the pickle is rewarded with the stocking.
We don't have a special gift for who ever finds
the pickle any more. It's just about hving fun
finding them in the tree.
Thank you all for the 'good pickle' wishes. LOL! My excitement would probably make even more sense if you knew how much I LOVE pickles. :)
fun2bhere: that is a great idea! It makes perfect sense to store it w/ my relish dishes where I'll get see it frequently. :)
Jeanne, you didn't say whether you have any pickles! lol!
punk, I use a big old liquor box (with sections!) to store my ornaments, but that overflowed years ago. Then my next smaller box overflowed. My more recent ornament purchases have come self-boxed or tubed, so they take care of themselves. But that makes me think that I *could* put the pickle in my santa sleigh! I always put out the sleigh full of tiny wrapped 'gifts'... anyone who comments on it gets to choose a gift from the sleigh. It would be protected and never missed if I stored it there. :)
PM, you know that I don't decorate anything like the extent that you all do, and I've been suffering from that "forgot or lost the holiday decorations" syndrome for a couple of years already. :( It's only because I don't have the space, or haven't taken time to organize, so that everything is "together"!
rafor, I'm the same as you... never heard of the pickle until recent years...
nana, thank you for explaining! Your stocking idea is great! -- but I don't get the right size gathering for that to work. I think my sleigh will be full of gifts to be chosen by whoever comments on my pickle this year. LOL!
So, punk, do you really try to HIDE the gorgeous pickle by burying it deep in the tree branches at the back, or something?! that seems like such a shame.... Mine will probably be displayed prominently at the front of the tree.
Did I mention that I *LOVE* pickles?! :O)
LOL, party! I don't have any pickles...well, I do have pickles but they're the fridge kind!! I've never heard of 'pickles' as ornaments ...so that's new to me the last couple yrs when they've been shared around here on the forum.
Your sleigh idea sounds like fun! Enjoy the holidays, party! TFS! Jeanne S.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
09 Apr 2014 00:26 GMT | Politics, Europe, US & Canada, Russia, Ukraine
The US secretary of state, John Kerry, has bluntly blamed Russia of "unmistakable involvement in destabilising" Ukraine by sending "agents" to its eastern cities.
Kerry on told US Congress on Tuesday that the Kremlin was seeking to "create chaos" in Donetsk, Kharkiv and Luhansk as a pretext for more military intervention.
Live Box 2014219141227163276
"Everything that we've seen in the last 48 hours, from Russian provocateurs and agents operating in eastern Ukraine, tells us that they've been sent there determined to create chaos," Kerry said, adding that he would next week meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, to discuss the crisis.
Shortly after Kerry's comments, Ukraine's SBU state security service said pro-Russian activists had placed explosives in a seized government office in Luhansk, and were holding about 60 people hostage.
"These actions are extremely dangerous and endanger the lives of people both inside and outside of the building. They are using terrorist measures," and SBU statement said.
Luhansk pro-Russian protesters quickly denied the claims.
"There are no explosives, no hostages. We do not need hostages to get what we want," said Anton, one of the protesters who described himself as a coordinator of the action.
In recent days pro-Russian activists seized government buildings in several cities in Ukraine's east, declaring independence and vowing to vote on splitting from Ukraine.
Ukrainian police cleared protesters from a regional administration building in Kharkiv in a lightning nighttime operation on Monday, but others held out in the eastern cities Luhansk and Donetsk.
Russian efforts
Lavrov and Catherine Ashton, the European Union foreign policy chief, on Tuesday discussed possible international efforts to find a solution to the Ukraine crisis, the Russian foreign ministery said in a statement.
In a telephone conversation initiated by Ashton, Lavrov reaffirmed Russia's proposal for "an authentic Ukraine-wide dialogue involving all political forces and regions" aimed at reaching agreement on constitutional reforms, the statement said.
Russia has long been suggesting "federalisation" of Ukraine in order to give more autonomy to the regions of the country, claiming it would make sure ethnic Russian population were not marginalised by Kiev's central government.
Ukrainian government sees the Russian plan as an effort to break up the country.

OT: Boxing Day
I guess this question would be mostly to all the Canadian friends out there.... Could you tell me what Boxing Day is? I have always wondered. Thanks!!
-Tara W
The day after Christmas, 26 December. That's "boxing" as in putting gifts in boxes to give to service workers, not "boxing" as in Mike Tyson. I used to think it was for putting unwanted xmas gifts back in their boxes to return to the store.
I had a friend in Canada who told me it was an old tradition started by the very rich. They'd get all their new gifts on Christmas , box up old, unwanted items and giving them to the servants. My guess is was also a way of "cleaning" closets to make room. Out with the old, in with the new. Probably a real treat in days gone by when servants had virtually nothing!
I am Canadian and have never heard a true meaning of boxing day. I know it is our big sale day just like the US has the day after Thanksgiving. It is a statatory holiday for most unless you work in retail. Banks, post office and beer stores are closed as well. I personally take it as a day to rest after Christmas and put all my decorations away, I cant seem to stand to look at the tree and gifts after Christmas Day.
My friend (Canadian) tells me that when she was living in Canada, you would box up things for the less fortunate and set them by the curb. Apparently, city workers came by on that day and picked up the donated items to give to the poor and needy. You do NOT put your trash out for the poor. You are supposed to give things that others can use. I think it's a pretty nice holiday. The origins of the holiday are interesting. Here is a link from Snopes that might explain it better.

It's less about giving cast-offs and more about giving gifts. Here's what Snopes has to say

Which Zone am I... really?
I'm getting conflicting information about which zone I'm in. I think it's zone 6, however I spoke with someone at one garden center and he said this area is 4/5. How do I find out? I'm in Eagle Idaho right next to Meridian and Boise.
I consider Boise to be zone 6 (-5 degrees), meaning zone 6 plants should be safe. A lot of winters, especially lately, would put us in zone 7 (0 degrees). Also, if you are in the city, temperatures will likely be slightly warmer than out of town. You can probably grow zone 7 plants with good success, but you might have to protect them if it gets really cold. This is usually do-able for the home gardener. Even a cold winter will probably not kill zone 7 plants, but they might have some injury requiring pruning / re-growth.

MLS flaks working overtime, I see.
The average capacity of an NBA/NHL arena is about one-third that of the typical MLS stadium.
It costs $100 to $1,000 for a ticket to an NBA game.
It cannot be too far into the future when this same publication will rue the day that a bunch of American kids will have got really interested in soccer, because then they will own the world cups and the writers at TE will be whining about Americans taking over "their" sport...
Soccer has been "arriving" in America for the past two decades. It started with the World Cup in 1994; the launch of MLS in 1996; the opening of soccer-specific stadiums beginning in 1999 (Columbus), critical to allow teams to control their financial destiny; the careful shuttering of unprofitable franchises and slow expansion of profitable ones; the expansion of TV rights and coverage on both English and Spanish language networks. Throughout those two decades the quality of the players, the coaching, and the product on the field has steadily improved. While it's tempting to view this as a watershed event, to longtime MLS fans the interest of Arab money (flying under the shiny PR veneer of the Yankees brand) is only the latest in a series of small steps to solidify MLS's place on the pro sports landscape in America.
"Attendance at MLS matches, which was 5% higher last season than in 2011, is higher than at National Hockey League and National Basketball Association games."
That's because tickets are FAR cheaper, and MLS outdoor arenas are bigger than the indoor NHL, NBA ones. Soccer is the cheapest little league sport since all you need is a ball, two goals, and a bunch of kids that like to kick things. Its easy to start a league out of nowhere.
Popularity is definitely growing, and its about time.

Legislature has plenty of work to do on Utah's air quality
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — With 14 working days left to go before the legislative session ends, any substantive reforms dealing with air quality have yet to pass.
Several signficant bills are making good progress, however, including infusing new money into regulators' budgets to bolster a wood-burning educational campaign and paying for so-called "sole-source" homes to convert to a cleaner method for heat generation.
Advocates say they are generally encouraged by the public policy time the "dirty air" issue is getting on Utah's Capitol Hill and believe a pre-legislative season rally that drew thousands was a nudge for lawmakers to pay attention.
"I think the rally was a good expression of the frustration that so many Utahns have been feeling, especially as the pollution mounted leading into the session," said Christopher Thomas, executive director of HEAL Utah. "It took all of us working together to put it front and center in the minds of public policymakers."
Of course, the real test lies not in talk, but in action by lawmakers, Thomas and others stressed.
"I would say I am cautiously optimistic. Some of the bills we have identified as the highest priority have each passed out of a committee hearing," Thomas said. "From what we have seen so far, we are far ahead of where we were last legislative session."
For Thomas and many other advocates, one of the most important reforms that needs to be addressed this session is tackling the "no more stringent" law on Utah's books that keeps regulators from invoking standards that are tougher than the federal government.
Air quality officials in particular say they have been hemmed in from brokering more flexible solutions to the Wasatch Front's unique temperature inversions because of their inability to implement rules that go beyond the federal Clean Air Act.
On Friday, a committee of lawmakers endorsed a "compromise" measure by Rep. Rebecca Edwards, R-North Salt Lake, which would allow tougher rules, but only if certain hurdles were overcome, such as demonstrating a scientific or medical basis for the deviation.
While HB121 cleared its committee on a 13-2 vote, another measure that would repeal the stringent law altogether — SB164 — survived a committee vote but has been stuck in the Senate with no action for nearly two weeks.
Dr. Brian Moench, president of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, said many of the bills introduced this session were "nibbling at the edges" bills that would have only small benefits for reducing air pollution.
Moench, too, placed priority on extinguishing the "no more stringent" law and said a measure to throw $20 million toward a cleaner school bus fleet, HB41, should be passed with funding intact.
Gov. Gary Herbert, in his budget, identified the transition of the older school bus fleet to cleaner burning vehicles as one of his air quality improvement targets.
"We don't agree with Herbert on a lot of things, but he's got that right," Moench said.
Moench also identified HB210, which would allow local governments to raise sales tax to direct money to transit projects, as a priority bill that would help to clean up the air, but it was just recently referred to the House Transportation Committee and has yet to be heard.
Thomas said he'd like Utah's legislators to throw their support behind Herbert's push to move the state to cleaner burning or so-called "Tier 3" fuels, while Moench said his group and others are rallying around Herbert's call for an inversion-season ban on all wood burning along the Wasatch Front.

replacing U-joint in calypso washer
sixwheelNovember 10, 2010
I am getting ready to install a U-joint assembly kit in my Sears/Kenmore washer, the instructions does not say anything about adding grease or some other lubricant to the U-joint. If lubricant is needed,what type and how much?
The replacement (but may depend on if you got just the u-joint or the u-joint+leveler kit) should include a small tube of grease which is to be lightly coated on the drive shaft before the u-joint and leveler are set in place. The u-joint itself doesn't call for any additional lubrication. The seals must also be replaced (large pink o-ring under the u-joint and six grommets under the inner dome for the bolts).

Former British PM John Major Says Murdoch Tried To Influence Policy
Former British Prime Minister John Major told an inquiry that Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul, tried to influence the country's politics during a private dinner in 1997. Major said that Murdoch even hinted that the Prime Minister could lose his media empire's support if he didn't change the way he was dealing with the European Union.
"Major was testifying before Britain's inquiry into media ethics, which was set up after it emerged that reporters at a major Murdoch tabloid had hacked into the voicemails of people in the news.
"The scandal has since mushroomed, engulfing political leaders criticized as having too-cozy links with the media tycoon.
"Major, the Conservative Party premier from 1990 to 1997, said Murdoch had made his views clear at a private dinner in February 1997, three months before the general election. The ex-premier said Murdoch had not directly told Major to change his policies, but 'made it clear that he disliked my European policies which he wished me to change.'"
Yesterday, another former prime minister aimed at Murdoch. Prime Minister Gordon Brown told the inquiry that Murdoch had personally attacked him and purposefully undermined the war in Afghanistan.
"In an often bitter attack on the Murdoch press in testimony to Britain's media ethics inquiry, Brown directly contradicted Murdoch's claim that the then-prime minister had made an abusive phone call to the media mogul in 2009," the AP reported. "Murdoch told the inquiry last month that Brown had vowed to 'make war on your company' after The Sun switched its support to the Conservatives."
Brown said that never happened and added that the spurious coverage of Afghanistan had done "huge damage" to the war effort.
