New Declassification Process To Open 400 Million Pages of Records 135
from the what-do-you-want-to-see dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Wasn't too long ago that Project Oxcart was declassified, that was pretty juicy for me. Served as the precursor to one of the coolest, most impressive planes ever built.
Does anyone on
/. honest believe anything seriously juicy or even particularly interesting would *ever* be released to the public.
Cool stuff gets declassified all the time. The Los Alamos Primer [wikipedia.org] was a pretty awesome read, and it was declassified in 1965 - only 20 years after the bomb was invented.
If you'd like something more recent, how about the SR-71 Blackbird Flight Manual [sr-71.org]?
The Freedom of Information Act seems to be working pretty well despite resulting in mass humiliation for countless officials.
Yeah, it worked so well getting a copy of this [collateralmurder.com]

Can I keep perennial hibiscuses in pots, inside?
The subject header really asks the question; I just bought two perennial hibiscuses yesterday (white rose of sharon; red luna) and I bought them with the intentions of putting them in pots and keeping them inside. I can put them outside but just thought that they would look nice indoors. Neighbour says that I can't/shouldn't & should plant them in the garden. Thoughts?
YouÂve got smart neighbors. ALL of the things that happen throughout the year outside are the very things your plants will need to stay healthy and flourish. YouÂre not going to be able to imitate that in the house. Tropicals make decent houseplants because you can mimic easier indoors what they need to grow.
There is a good reason why you donÂt see pines, oaks, and spruce sold as houseplants.

Please help identify neutral bond in generator!
diromsOctober 20, 2012
Need help identifying where neutral bond is in my generator wiring. attached is a pic of the wiring. i believe the neutral bond is at the far right. there is a short green wire coming off the ground screw and going to the neutral screw on the outlet. if i disconnect the wire to the neutral screw, is this effectively breaking the bond to neutral? am i missing any other step? Thanks
Ron Natalie
Yep, that looks like it is likely it. Pull that off the neutral and then take a ohm meter (while the generator is off and not connected to anything and verify there isn't another connection elsewhere. The ohms between neutral and ground should be infinite (or OL as the meters like to say).

Nyack News
Nyack Welcomes Back Professor Emeritus for ETS Conference
Dr. Huttar's paper on "The Apostleship of Andronicus and Junias" (Romans 16:7) promises to demonstrate the impeccable scholarship that has earned him the respect of his peers as well as thousands of Nyack's college and seminary students, where he taught Greek, Hebrew, Old Testament, New Testament, Systematic Theology, and Apologetics.
On the occasion of his retirement after more than four decades at Nyack College, a longtime friend and classmate, Dr. Donal Nilsson, said of Dr. Huttar, "He developed the reputation of being a walking archive for the college, its constitutional lawyer." He also served as the Chair of the Bible Department and on numerous committees including Faculty Affairs, Retention, Admissions, Tenure and Promotion, and Academic Affairs.
Don't miss this opportunity to welcome home our distinguished professor emeritus and gain insight from a Nyack legend. For details, visit http://www.etsjets.org/. To pre-register, contact Dr. Shawn Buice of ETS at (518) 355-4000, ext. 13. For additional information, contact Nyack College Professor of Bible, Dr. Frank Chan at 845-675-4513.

Paula is the MOST trustworthy and ethical attorney I have EVER been associated with and worked with regards to many issues regarding Fraud. She is very thorough in her research and attention to detail.
She only takes clients that are referred by past clients and associates. She only accepts clients who are truthful, trustworthy, and accepts her terms of employment.
What an honor to know and work with Paula.
Paula was my lawyer! she fired me because I would not say things in the complaint that were false. This review is intended to advise all seeking a lawyer in North bay to not use paula Gustafson. Please do not censor my review.

A GM official told Jalopnik that they were considering letting Corvette ZR1 buyers build their own LS9 638 horsepower engine that would then be installed in their very car. This was confirmed by Tom Read from GM's Advanced Powertrain Technology Communications who said "We are considering the program".
If something doesn't quite look right with this 1963 Corvette Coupe, you get a gold star! That's because this was a prototype for a "four place" Corvette. That's right, a Corvette with back seats! The idea came from Ed Cole who wondered if a four-place Corvette could rival the successful four-seat Thunderbird.
A Corvette ZR1 , ZO6 and Supercharged Indy 500 Pace Car do doughnuts. Goes perfectly with your morning coffee so enjoy!
The "accident" at the end of this video has been up on YouTube for a while but it was just today I learned that the driver had picked up the C5 Corvette Z06 from a dealer and was on a test drive. In this extended version, the Corvette driver is being an absolute ass by tailgating, fishtailing and doing donuts on public roads leading up to the crash.
The announcer says the dealer decided not to press charges which leads me to wonder if they ever saw this tape? Well one thing is for certain. Unlike the guy who fried the clutch in a Z06, our driver here at least knows how to do a burnout!

Corvette sales figures for December 2009 were released today by GM. Overall, Corvette sales seem to be holding steady with 1,033 deliveries in the last month of 2009. This marks an increase from the 952 Corvettes sold in November, but is -22% off the 1,324 Corvettes sold in December 2009. For the calendar year (Jan-Dec 09) 13,934 Corvettes were delivered which is -48.3% off the 26.917 Corvettes delivered in all of 2008.

Canon EOS 400D
Being the market leader in the fastest growing sector of the photographic market is a tough title to hold on to, especially with most major camera manufacturers announcing new entry-level products this year. Can Canon's latest entry-level offering, the EOS 400D, retain this position in the face of such fierce competition? In this review Gary Wolstenholme takes a look whether if anyone can, Canon can.

High School Sports
Millennium looks for thrills, not spills, against Pinnacle
Note: This article includes home games in the writer's area of coverage, which is as follows: from Fountain Hills west through Scottsdale, all of Phoenix (except for Ahwatukee), the southwest, northwest and northern sections of the metro area. Other locales include northern, northeast and northwest Arizona.
After a thrilling 37-34 triple-overtime victory over Phoenix North Canyon to open the season, what will Goodyear Millennium do for an encore?
We will find out on Friday night (Sept. 6), when the Tigers, new to Division I, headline Week 2 with a home game against Phoenix Pinnacle. The Pioneers defeated Mesa Red Mountain 21-16 in their opener.
Millennium first-year coach Jason Randels got a huge game from running back Adam Tamayo, who rushed for 127 yards and four touchdowns, including the 5-yard game-winner in the third OT.
The Tigers also got a big defensive effort from strong safety Aaron Diggs, who had seven total tackles, an interception and a pair of pass breakups.
Pinnacle used a late fumble recovery to preserve its victory.
Pinnacle running back Josh Hoekstra pounded the ball up and down the field, as usual. He rushed for 131 yards and a TD. Junior quarterback Brian Lewerke got off to a good start, completing 14 of 23 passes for 208 yards and two TDs.
Other games on the radar this week . . .
Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep (1-0) at Scottsdale Desert Mountain (0-1) – Desert Mountain, still smarting from its 13-6 loss to Phoenix Brophy Prep in last week's opener, will pull out all the stops in its home debut.
Desert Mountain star quarterback Kyle Allen and receiver Mark Andrews played well, but will need more help from their teammates this time around.
Tucson Ironwood Ridge (2-0) at Glendale Apollo (0-1) – Apollo needs this one badly against the defending Division II champions after stumbling out of the gate against Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain. I-Ridge has beaten two pretty good teams already – Peoria Liberty and Vail Cienega.
Lakeside Blue Ridge (1-1) at Winslow (1-0) – Winslow routed Interstate 40 neighbor Holbrook 47-0 in the opener but it is difficult to tell how good the Bulldogs really are as they enter this Division IV clash. Blue Ridge is looking to rebound from a 30-14 to Division III Prescott.
Peoria (1-0) vs. Flagstaff (1-0) at Northern Arizona University Walkup Skydome – This will be a good test for Peoria, looking to re-establish its program under former quarterback Will Babb.
Payson (1-0) at Page (1-0) – The winner of this one will gain more momentum as the Division IV schedule heats up.
Goodyear Desert Edge (2-0) at Prescott (1-0) – Desert Edge appears to be on course for a deep playoff run in Division III. Prescott will need a big defensive effort, because Desert Edge is averaging about 50 points per game.
Lake Havasu (1-0) at Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain (1-0) – New Bradshaw Mountain coach Jared Woodruff has his Division III team fired up after dumping Division II Glendale Apollo last week. D-II Lake Havasu downed D-III Flagstaff Coconino.
Casa Grande (1-0) at Buckeye (1-0) – Buckeye defeated Vista Grande in its opener and now takes aim at the other Casa Grande school. Casa Grande edged El Mirage Dysart on Lucas Tipton's 39-yard field goal in overtime.
Ganado (1-0) at Keams Canyon Hopi (2-0) – Hopi wants to prove it is more than just a cross-country school. It has combined for 70 points in its first two games. Ganado played strong defense in a 36-0 win over Many Farms.
Williams (1-0) at Round Valley (1-0) at Round Valley Dome, Eagar – Realignment broke up the powerful old Class 3A East Division a few years back. Most of those teams are in Division IV, but Round Valley is in Division V and would like nothing better to re-energize its football program.
Phoenix Trevor Browne (1-0) at Phoenix Sunnyslope (1-0) – Like most of its fellow Phoenix Union High School District schools, Trevor Browne has struggled in recent seasons. But a win such as the 58-0 triumph over San Luis last week can be encouraging for the D-II Bruins. D-II Sunnyslope breezed to a 48-6 win over Phoenix Washington.

i'm so smitten with today's final makeover i can't stand it. lori danelle turned wooden pallets into an adorable bed for her daughter and did a seriously bang-up job. i'd be happy to take a nap in here and now, thanks to lori's diy steps, i could build one myself! lori was inspired by projects like ashley's pallet daybed and decided to put her own spin on the idea. i love the color palette she used in the room, too. it's such a cheery place to hang out! great work, lori!
[have a before & after you'd like to share? just shoot me an email with your images right here! (low res, under 500k per image, please)]
CLICK HERE for kristen's dresser makeover after the jump!
today's final makeover comes from kristen fountain davis. she rescued this sad dresser from a secondhand store and decided to hand-paint a design on the drawer faces. i love the wild feel to the final look and, of course, the kittens. furniture and kittens? two of my favorite things. thanks for sharing, kristen!
that bed's kinda creepy, but the kitten's cute.
Both are gorgeous!
My only concern with the bed is a practical one: splinters. I know in her DIY steps she talked about sanding it, but with the wear of children roughhousing in/around their beds, I wonder if that will really be enough? (Or maybe I was just a really rough and tumble kid, hahaha.) Either way, I would think painting/coating it in something would add another layer of protection? Maybe some sort of clear finish?
But regardless, it's BEAUTIFUL and oh so cool. As you said, Grace, I would love a bed like that myself. :)
I like the dresser, in spite of the fact that the design is a little…"amoeba-ish"? Super cute!
Those pallets are treated with horrible chemicals so they don't get eaten by termintes during long sea voyages and storage in warehouses. No child should sleep in such close proximity to them.
Get out of town! I do design and photography work for a packaged concrete company and have never seen pallets repurposed for a bed. I love it!
What a great idea to put the bed on wheels!
not all pallets are treated. a lot are, but they can be cleaned, stripped and coated to prevent any of the chemicals from leaching through. we deal with this every time someone works with a pallet and we're sure to inform the owners of the project to protect themselves or kids from this.
Absolutely LOVE the dresser. What a gorgeous pattern she painted on the drawer fronts! And it doesn't hurt that it's topped with my two favorite things: A kitten and cupcakes.
Love. Love. Love the pallet bed. So unique and lovely.
I have been wanting to make a pallet coffee table, but were do you get the pallets? Any suggestions?
what a great idea. I have couple of those I may try to do it too.
ask your local home depot, etc. they get tons of them every day and usually throw them out back.
Perhaps the bed would look better if it were painted..as it, it looks pretty rough.
I love pallet reuse, but I do worry about all the sharp corners (or at least they appear sharp in photos, maybe not?) for a kids' bed… or any bed for that matter. I'm an adult and I find myself getting beat up on sharp corners when I'm fully awake, I can't imagine what would happen in a bed like this if I was half asleep! Maybe round the corners just a bit?
I love the pallet bed.
And I have that little rug! In my kitchen.
How can anyone think the bed is rough or creepy?? It's gorgeous!! And I'm sure Lori wouldn't make a bed for her daughter than had splinters and dangerous chemicals spilling out of it!!
This is ingenious. I'll be keeping an eye out for pallets outside the back of my local DIY store (if they'll let me 'upcycle' them)
I just love these before and afters – so inspiring, L x
The pallet bed makes me think of the Boxcar Children books — did anyone read those? Very creative and more eco-friendly than buying an ikea bed or something…
That pallet bed is so cool! When I was a kid we had some of those in the yard for some reason and I was always trying to build forts and things with them. This is much nicer though!
I think the pallet bed is awesome! And only pallets from overseas are treated with chemicals. Domestic pallets are usually not, and both are marked with the initials of how they were treated. I actually looked it up on wickipedia the other night, since I'd like to make a pallet daybed for our studio.
wow, awsome!
Great bed. I like it.
The pallets behind the grocery stores are sometimes in better shape than the ones behind the DIY stores…
gorgeous work!
ok LOVE the wheels on the pallet bed! I have to say that I would personally have painted it, but then….I have this bad tendency to paint EVERYthing!
The pallet bed is really something. I think that anyone would love to have this stuff.
Such a cool bed! I love the design and I think a kid would love it!
I'm in the process of decorating my sons room and his headboard consists of Two palettes that I was able to purchase from Lowes for $5 each! I don't know if they were treated, but I sanded mine and used polyurathane to seal them.
I love the idea and think the toddler bed is so cute!
To see mine, stop be my website http://www.home23duncanboys.com
Companies (or at least the one I work for) pay a deposit on every pallet they receive their merchandise on. Check with the store manager before you take pallets, or they might give you a hard time. :)
OH MY!!! That bed is one of the best ideas ever!!!
You never know what has been on those pallets. Could be pretty nasty. From personal experience (working in a grocery store and auto parts store) I wouldn't be comfortable burning them!
What a great choice of materials for this bed! I love it!
Cool bed if you're teaching your kid how to be a hobo.
very impressive and very cool!
what an amazing idea! so gorgeous. how do you ensure it's clean and bug-friend-free?
I am very impressed by her work and the color palette of the rug, bedding, and dresser. It's a very nice style and design.
I love the bed… and knowing Lori, I can tell you that she would not let her children sleep in anything that was potentially poisonous or dangerous, so let that put your minds at ease! This bed is great!
I think the end result looks great
but am with a few of the others that this may not be safe wood and wouldn't take any risk when it came to putting it in my house.
Very impressive!
Thanks for your presentation and I appreciate that!
Keep up your good work. I will come here regularly for news.
That is one of the best makeovers I've ever seen! Love love LOVE when someone can turn an everyday piece of nothing into something so fab!!!
This bed is just magic !!!
that is the cutest thing ever! and what a great idea. cannot tell you how many of those things we have around the warehouse!
This is great and reminded me of the pallet day bed you posted on d*s a while back. My husband recently brought three pallets home from work and these posts just gave me the idea to turn them into a doggy bed :)
I think I recognize some Anna Maria Horner fabric in the quilt on that bed. The bright colors really contrast well with the plain wood.
The dresser looks an awful lot like the one my parents had. Definitely glad to see that old thing madeover!
The bed is cute but seems impractical from a mom point-of-view: how do you change the sheets? Also kids move around a lot in their sleep and I can only imagine this kid bonking herself on the bed in the night.
The bed looks great! .
I would be very surprised if those pallets are not treated. They are made to last and to be used over and over again.
so cute! I would love for my 3 year old daughter to have a bed like this. GREAT JOB! Dont listen to the haters, you know whats good for your kids!!!
This is absolutely lovely from an aesthetic perspective; however, the whole Tylenol recall occurred because of chemicals from pallets (applied to prevent mold) leaching into Tylenol packaging. That would concern me unfortunately.
The dresser is very cool…not so sure about the bed tho.
The bed is AWESOME. I get so frustrated when I see people naysay'ing projects that are clearly amazing.
Sarah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It would be pretty boring if everyone liked the same thing. As for me, I don't like the bed. Sorry for being one of those pesky naysayers that you so dislike. ;-p
I do not like the bed very much, but I think it was a great idea. I've seen pallets used to make a table and even a sofa, but the bed was the best way to repurpose them. Imagination is everything!
I think it is important that people remember that the "naysayers" are actually individuals who are worried about the health and safety of a child. Which i think is a big deal. There is no way I would let my 3 year old sleep in that bed.
there's a difference between naysayers and concern and those that repeatedly seek to disparage someone's parenting or assume something about someone without knowing the full story. there's a lot of the latter happening and it's pretty disappointing.
i have a feeling the parents saying "i'd never let MY child.." would be pretty upset if someone came on to their blog to suggest that say, their strollers were unsafe. i find that parents can be some of the most judgmental commenters on the internet and it never ceases to amaze or sadden me how harsh they can be to other parents- especially when assuming that other people haven't thought about the safety of their child.
Both projects are so well done–the pallet bed is really creative and Lori did such a great job on it- I am disappointed with the number of people who are saying negative things–if you can't say something positive, why bother at all?
Can I state the obvious here? again? Pallets are treated with nasty chemicals. Grace, I know you followed up on a similar comment stating "they can be cleaned, stripped and coated to prevent any of the chemicals from leaching through. we deal with this every time someone works with a pallet and we're sure to inform the owners of the project to protect themselves or kids from this."
but in no place in your post do you eldue this at all. Don't you think it's important to at least mention?
Sorry, don't mean to come down on you, I heart d*s, I'm just wary of any and all pallet projects…
I'm not a parent, but I do consult for the FDA and as the story below indicates, there may soon be regulatory review and changes re: the manufacture, use, and re-use of wooden pallets. Just something you might want to keep an eye on since these kinds of crafts are listed on your web site. Always good to have safety resources available.
i get my pallets from a kitchen and bath showroom near a T stop in boston. they set them out for free every week. it might be worth checking out some local showrooms if you're looking for pallets!
Such a cool and adventurous children's bed!
i agree with Grace on everything! I think it's offending to the creators to assume they didn't think this through in terms of safety.
Oh, now why didn't I think of that? What a neat idea! We've got an old calf barn made partially out of wooden pallets…it's not nearly as nice as this bed though. In fact, the roof is getting ready to collapse, but the pallets can be reused if needed! The folks that used to live here were similarly inclined to use whatever was at hand…unfortunately, most of their projects were only half finished or obviously done while drinking a lot of alcohol!
Nope, sorry…I'm with the naysayers. I always use gloves when I have to deal with pallets at work. Is the bed so cute that it's even worth taking a small chance of subjecting a child…anyone even…to long term chemical poisoning? I'm a fan of Design over Practicality and even Comfort (yep…I adore my Bertoia chairs!), but these "Pallet Makovers" are just a bad idea.
Also, to agree with Marlo…why Grace, do you warn the contributor of the idea about the hazards of using pallets but not your readership? Not everybody reads all the submissions.
Grace, simply cleaning and stripping something you don't know(and old) can expose yourself to various hazards. Inhalation of small dust is worse than doing nothing at all sometimes.
I went to Lori's website and found out that her pallets were heat-treated(mentioned in the comment section not in the post itself). And none of your site or AT along with other website who feature this DIY bed mentioned that.
A lot of people probably don't even go nor read everything in the Lori's post on her blog, I would appreciate if you include the whole fact inyour post as well, that way Lori won't be critisized unfairly. Peole comments on what they see, omitting the fact and details won't be fair to all of us(readers and the creator).
Thank you.
starting next month we're launching a new column that will teach people how to safely strip, sand, paint, stain, and do just about everything else you can think of to furniture. rather than get too deep into safety issues with comments, we've chosen to address this issue (and any other potentially dangerous before/after related activities) with a column to educate people.
i'm can't do anything about what runs on AT or other sites, but i can tell you that we all listened to this discussion and decided the best way to move forward would be to tackle these skills/activities on a weekly basis so that when things like this come up we can direct people to the post where they can learn how to do these things in a safe way.
this heat-treated portion of the project wasn't mentioned in the submission email i received, so i missed that. i will be sure to read all websites more closely next time, but we often use only the information sent to us via email, as our time is limited and we assume that the project owner has sent all the information they want included. that said, i will be sure to read more closely or send follow up emails if a somewhat controversial topic like pallets comes up again.
i never want to put any of our readers in harm's way, so i promise you we're taking this seriously and looking into safe ways to work with pallets, which will be the subject of an upcoming post that is part of our before & after basis column, so people can learn what to do and not do when working on a project like this.
Wow. I've never commented here before. And the reason I'm doing so now is because I'm a little let down by the tone of Grace's reply to the "naysayers." I have to say, don't have a blog unless you are willing to have negative comments. Grace's replies are so defensive! It's strange. It makes me like this blog less, frankly. The bed looks like an accident waiting to happen. It would be better suited in an adult loft space, in my opinion. Although I don't see how I would keep from getting splinters.
i've always been willing to have negative comments here, i realize that's part of running a blog. but it always surprises me that people who leave those comments seem to think that i won't (or don't have the right to) respond or disagree with them.
dear naysayers:
yes, you're entitled to your opinion, but so is grace. so is every other reader.
i think the bed looks darling and would love to incorporate something like that into a child's room, but of course i'm going to make it work for me (as each of you should too!).
worried about splinters? sand it thoroughly!
worried about chemicals? search for a pallet source that boasts un-treated wood (or just don't use pallets, use fresh wood instead!)
worried about sharp corners? round 'em off!
yes, it's more work on your end, but that's kinda the point! the people that truly like the look and the creative process are totally going to be willing to go the extra mile, especially to make it their own unique creation to fit their own unique concerns/style/space/budget/etc.
go Lori! go grace! wahoo!
Poor Kristen's adorable dresser is getting ignored :) Great makeover!
this bed is awesome!
i am thoroughly shocked at all of the rude comments here.
grace, i love this blog!
I like the idea of re-useing such a trash product, but i have also spent a year handling pallets, and franky i dont think they would be able to be sanded well enough unless taken apart and put through a plainer and back togeather to be smooth enough for a childs bed let alone one that has a side. The idea however would be nice as a head and foot board for adults perhaps in a cottage. But i look at this and i feel the slivers i got through heavy cloves when i worked with these. Then as others said the chemicals, that is soaked into them, the chemicals they came across in their life of use. Gives me the creeps, looks good though…. Creative it just worries me,.
The dresser on the other hand is what i would love to do with mine perhaps.
Cool idea on the pallet bed.
The creators of any privately made item are NOT responsible for letting other people know about safety hazards. As a person who looks to d*s and other design blogs for inspiration, it's still my responsibility to ensure my own safety, not that of the blog writers or people who submit their creations. I think people don't want to think for themselves anymore. I would only consider making something after ensuring the safety of it myself because that's no one else's responsibility. It's like blaming a homeowner because a robber got hurt in their house. (and no, I am not insinuating that people are "robbing" ideas, rather, that the homeowner isn't responsible for injury caused by someone who should have thought for themselves and made a wiser decision)
Not all pallets are treated,you can find pallets that are untreated.I happen to work for a pallet company that does in fact make untreated wood pallets.It's up to the person using the pallets to find out all they can.
It's not Grace or anyone else's responsibility but yours.I have to wonder what kind of people you naysayers are that can speak so boldly about other people and how they treat their own children.
You should be ashamed of yourself unless of course you dropped by this persons house and had a lay down in the bed and got a splinter.
I don't like the bed. My children would have nightmares in that thing. Reading comments here:
I ran a successful poetry blog for 2 years and had my fair share of rude comments and critical comments. It's part of blogging. I don't think Grace was being rude. Even when I'm critical-I try to say something nice, but no one is perfect.
What are you guys even talking about this being a health hazard? Many pallets are heat treated and it's pretty obvious that these are as the chemically treated ones usually have a light tint from the chemical residue. As for someone above suggesting that this 'teaches their kids to live like a hobo' probably wins for the most stupid comment I've ever read on a blog. Isn't this what design is about? Transforming? Recycling? Imagination? Creation? Get over yourselves, no one is telling your children to sleep in it. I for one will be making one! Woop!
love the bed. and the dresser looks completely different!
i wasn't aware that you also had a parenting column, grace! ;)
Holy Moly, fellow adults! Reading some of these comments makes me not want to have a blog. Sadness. Just as Grace hadn't read through the original post (where Lori says they are heat treated etc.), neither obviously did many of the people who left comments. I would also like to remind folks that there are many common household product that give off chemical fumes – carpets, processed fabrics, etc. I think the IDEA for the bed is cute, and that's what I look to this blog for: IDEAS. It is a blog about design; not a woodshop class. We are all (presumably) adults and responsible for our own safety. I do not think it is fair to hoist that responsibility on Grace – it is never ending! Does everyone know how to use a saw safely? A hammer? A crochet hook? Also, there is no way to completely protect your kids, and every parent draws their lines differently. I'd let my kids sleep in this bed a million times before I'd let them eat at Micky D's. But that's just me, right? Everyone is doing the best they can. I think Grace is very brave not only for posting so many of these comments, but trying to address the concerns they contain. Good job!!
The bed is cute. It could easily be modified in any number of ways to suit different sensibilities – that's partly what makes it such a great DIY project. (Use different material! Paint it! Take the wheels off! I think it would make a really cute trundle sans head/footboard.) Also, I think this bed will wear really nicely… imagine the patina it will have after 50 yrs of kids and grandkids sleeping in it! ~Jen
Making pet beds, storage shelves, chairs, couches, tables, or any other furniture that people, especially children, will come into contact with is reckless and foolish:
Pallets are made of wood, and will absorb deep into their fibers many of the substances they come into contact with, and off-gas or release them later when humidity and temperature conditions allow.
Pallets are covered in urine and feces from insects, mice, rats, cats, dogs, humans, and other animals, especially when left in stacks behind warehouses and stores.
Pallets are exposed to bacteria rich animal blood when used to transport meat to groceries and distributors, especially when refrigeration fails or a pallet is mistakenly left on a dock (a not uncommon occurrence) and a pallet of meat thaws, swelling its plastic packaging, bursting and dripping out of the cardboard boxes and onto the pallet.
Pallets are regularly sprayed with various industrial-grade insecticides in warehouses and storerooms to prevent cockroaches and other disease carrying insects and rodents from nesting in or around them.
Pallets are often doused with other toxic or carcinogenic (cancer causing) chemicals when used in transport. Ruptured drums and broken bottles are rarely reported because of the costly and time consuming EPA clean-up required, instead, things are mopped and hosed, and contaminated pallets are returned to service.
Unless you know exactly where and when your pallet was used, consider it a toxic hazard and don't bring it into your home.
C'est fabuleux la façon dont tu transforme la matière en intégrant le commun au cotidient d'une manière si agréable et originale.
Love,love,everything it's so nice
great projects!
thanks for sharing these nice projects! I've linked your bed project in my blog on upcycle art..
I love the idea of reusing a pallet. Gorgeous texture. And the dresser looks amazing.
What a great idea, the bed is so unique and I love the dresser!
I love this and am making one for my daughter
I have read so many posts concerning the blogger lovers
however this piece of writing is genuinely a pleasant article, keep it up.
Pallets which are not chemically treated are stamped as so. Avoid wood which is extremely heavy. Use Heat treated wood (marked HT) for interior projects. Its worth taking the time to 'distress' the heat treated wood.

Having never visited a country like Morocco before we were apprehensive about what it work be like. It was an amazing and wonderful experience for us and all of our party who joined us. We were struck by the thoughtful restoration of the riad which made it a very comfortable place to stay. We called it our haven from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The staff of the riad were so kind in helping us organise our days, giving us tips of what to do. We had great meals in the riad and out in the city
( and our stomachs were fine!!). We shopped in the crazy souks and visited the Atlas Mountains and the beautiful Jardin Majorelle. Our trip to a Hamman for mud baths etc was very memorable and well worth the cost. We have recommended our trip to many and we will return.

Best/Worst Winter Plants 2001:2002
Winter is winding down, and spring is only 31 days away. What is growing in you winter garden? What are your best and worst winter plants so far?
My best are the sweetbox (sarcococca hookeriana humilis) and the Viburnum tinus spring bouquet. Hopefully next year the Osmanthus fragrans, Osmanthus Delayvai and Viburnum bodnantense dawn will be blooming happily. Right now they're too young.
My worst is the winter jasmine, too few flowers, and the calicarpa dichotoma, few flowers and no berries.
Your winter jasmine and beauty berry may still be too young to have lots of flowers/berries. Give them time.
My Sarcococca went into the opposite direction: it came in roaring like a lion after I first planted it, but has been whimpering like a puppy for the last two winters.
Hello to you lucky 8 and 9 zone gardeners. How wonderful to have camellias and azaleas blooming. Here in zone 6 Massachusetts I anxiously await the appearance of anything, even a crocus. Although the daffodils stems are quite a bit above ground. We pretty much rely on attractive berries to get us through the winter blahs. My calicarpas are still loaded with berries(a particular favorite of the mockingbirds), as are the crabapples and hollies.
Lucky you! The birds ate up all of my Callicarpa berries (but I don't mind sharing).
The early spring camellias are starting to bloom (though the winter varieties have not yet fully quit). One of my purple plums is blooming and the first daffodils have opened up.
John, I'm trying to be patient with my smaller plants but the callicarpas I see in the nurseries are loaded with berries, and they are young as well. The jasmine nudiflorum is quite sparse but at least there are some flowers. I really want to espalier the jasmine to control it and maybe get better bloom on sideways branches. Maybe the callicarpa I have went into shock when transplanted, but it's been there for two years. That's too bad about your Sarcococca. Do you know what the problem is?
Swilly, which Verbena do you grow? I read they're a good butterfly plant. I must get more Camellias, as well. Both you and John have them and they seem to add color year round.
Which is everybodyÂs favorite Camellia right now?
I read somewhere that the callicarpa gets more berries if you grow more than one. I have one for 4 years now and hardly get any berries. I'm thinking of getting another to keep it company.
Last spring I bought a chamaecyparis 'snow mound' that has croaked over the winter. I'm very disappointed. I have a small walled garden and I really need the evergreens.
I have a heuchera 'plum pudding' that stayed a beautiful plum color all winter. I just love it and wish I had more of them. My hardy geranium 'Bevan's variety' has stayed green as well and makes a nice mound over the winter.

Dear Nervous,
That's understandable. But you've made friends before and you'll do it again. Say "hi," smile, remember name, don't talk too much about how great your old friends are and sign up for after-school activities—theater, newspaper, sports. Working with others on projects or in teams makes for easier bud-bonding opportunities. And in your attempt to be social, don't let your schoolwork slip. Talk to teachers if you feel lost or if you're at a different level than the rest of your class.

Climate initiative gives Scripps global goals
Just two years after British scientists discovered a hole in the Earth's ozone layer, countries around the globe agreed to phase out chemicals that caused the problem in what became known as the Montreal Protocol of 1987.
Scientists still use that as an illustration of how the ability to measure environmental changes leads to new programs and regulations. Closer to home, attempts to curtail beach pollution in California blossomed in the late 1990s after expanded water quality tests highlighted bacterial pollution in coastal waters.
With a deal announced in mid-January, Scripps Institution of Oceanography has launched itself into a new era of measuring, one that might change how agencies and companies around the world respond to climate change. Click here for details from Scripps.
The institution, part of the University of California San Diego, has allied with Maryland-based Earth Networks to deploy 100 greenhouse gas sensors around the world in what they called the most comprehensive attempt of its kind. Click here to learn about Earth Networks.
It's familiar ground for Scripps, which was pivotal in raising concern about the issue when researcher Charles David Keeling charted carbon dioxide in the atmosphere starting in the 1950s.
The five-year project, financed by the company, will cost about $25 million all aimed at tracking the most controversial gases on the planet at a regional or state scale instead of a global or continental level. Potential for advancing climate science and possible solutions entices scientists worldwide as they deploy a new generation of greenhouse gas measuring devices on Earth and in outer space.
"We can't yet answer the question, 'What is the net emission for any country on the planet?' " said Rob Jackson, a climate change researcher at Duke University. "My hope would be that in 10 years or certainly in 20, all of these observational capabilities will help us resolve the carbon budget of a state like California or even a city like Los Angeles or San Diego."
Researchers inside and outside Scripps are optimistic that the unprecedented, real-time network can be used to verify compliance with emissions-trading schemes, fine-tune existing pollution calculations, find undetected sources of greenhouse gases and fuel other ventures that no one has dreamed of yet.
They are quick to add that more data alone won't settle sticky arguments such as what — if anything — to do about reducing releases of carbon dioxide and similar gases.
"We are not going to get involved in the policy debate or the politics of it," said Robert Marshall, chief executive of Earth Networks. "All we want to do is make sure that we produce high-quality measurements of the atmosphere that can verify whatever policy is going to happen. ... The only way to know for sure whether any policy is working is to measure the atmosphere."
A June report by Tufts University in Medford, Mass., said a successful greenhouse gas measurement program is critical for a functioning international pollution-reduction plan. Click here to read the full report.
"Few issues combine the technical and political dimensions of climate change policy more than that of measuring, reporting and verifying 1) emissions reductions; 2) carbon storage and sequestration; and 3) the implementation of policy pledges," it said.
