Amber Carrillo is a mother of four who lives on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. She grew up in Hawaii. She first started sewing about 12 years ago when she decided on a whim to make a quilt for her mom for Mother's Day.
Her best friend showed her how to work her little Brother sewing machine and off she went. Her love of sewing started there but she didn't get serious about it until about 5 years ago when she discovered the online world of fabric shops and blogs. She soon started her own blog and has been sewing and quilting ever since.
Amber homeschools her children so she tries to get in sewing time whenever she can. She has been a part of a few virtual quilting bees, including the amazing Ringo Pie bee. She also loves playing soccer.

I'd be re-thinking my wardrobe choices before I gave up carrying or went with a .22. Of course that's just me and I can't carry anyways because I don't live in America.
Have you considered new shorts? Lol shorts are a lot cheaper.
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
How about just using that bra holster.
If you are truly set on a 22 derringer...you should look at the NAA Mini revolver. I have one that I carry in my pocket of my gym shorts. Mine came with 2 cylinders. One is 22lr and one is 22mag. If you try both you will really notice the diference. Also 22 mag has a lot more bullet choices. There are actually companies puting out 22 mag rounds designed for self defense. If you insist on a 22 at least the NAA has 5 shots. It is even smaller than most 2 shot over unders.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

bad odor... please help
We recently bought a mobile home last fall as a second home and there is a really bad smell to it. We ripped up the old carpets already, painted all of the walls, used glade plug ins, bleached/cleaned all cabinets and surfaces but the smell is not going away. We are going to the house tomorrow morning and need some good ideas to try to get the house smelling better for when we re-open it in April.
I am planning on setting up a dehumidifier in the crawl space basement, plugging in some air freshners, and putting white vinegar in bowls in each room.
Does anybody have any other ideas that might help get rid of the stink?
Oh boy. If someone left out poison for rats, and it was not the kind that dries them up into mummies which do not stink, then you may have a dead animal smell.
I'd also recommend that you check out any sewage connection which may be beneath the mobile home. They might have had a crack in the plumbing and some seepage dried in the insulation.
Then again, do you know what a skunk smells like? That odor lingers a long time if it sprayed on the premises.
I'm just going down the list of things that I know can smell pretty bad. Include mold on that list too.
Good luck getting rid of the smell.
You mentioned using vinegar before, but you can get better results with the vinegar if you do this:
Put it in a pan diluted by half with water. Add some cinnamon and some cloves. Then let it simmer and simmer for a long time inside your mobile home. I've used this as an odor eliminator for years, having used it to remove the smell of diesel fuel from commercial boats, to remove fish cooking smell in any place, to get out the smell of smoking from a house, and I recommend it as a way to get RELIEF until you find the cause of your problem It smells like apple pie.
It won't remove the mold and mildew itself, just the smell. If you wash the walls and the a/c ductwork with it, that might help. Be sure to change out all your a/c filters and your range hood filter.
>If someone left out poison for rats, and it was not the kind that dries them up into mummies which do not stink, then you may have a dead animal smell.
Yes, but at least it will go away eventually, if that is what it is.
In addition to what moccasinlanding suggested, I would also look up underneath the house. I've known people to have raccoons/armadillos/younameit eat out the bottom housing around where pipes and such enter and make nests in the insulation down there.
BambRose, if it is flooded under your house in the crawl space, it very well could be mold.
You asked if the dehumidifier would take away the one inch of water in the basement, and I don't think it will, but then I'm not a person who ever lived with a problem basement. There is a Basement Forum where some of the folks might be knowledgeable on this.
Do you have a mobile home, or a manufactured home?
Is it permanently fixed above a dug out crawl space? How high is the crawl space? Has it ever flooded before to your knowledge, or since you purchased it?
Can you also turn on a couple of box fans to move air through the space? Ventilation can help dry it out, but if it is a paved crawl space you are dealing with, it won't be draining into the soil.
Good luck.

Not sure how many people heard about this. Khan's Academy is a great free online resource to brush up on science and maths, and excellent learning/revision material for children. All 1600+ videos are made by one guy and the videos themselves are around 10 minutes each. His casual and understanding-based teaching style is probably why its so popular with millions of students of all ages. I found it captivating and made me want to go back to school.

Pets And Owners Form A Mutually Beneficial Bond
By editor
A growing field of medical research aims to pinpoint exactly why pets can make us happier and healthier. Some studies show that animal interaction can increase a person's level of oxytocin, a hormone associated with love and trust. And the animals also benefit from positive human interaction.

My husband, Marty Lupowitz, and I are both quiet, considerate non-smokers. He is a chiropractor. I am a writer.
We both love quiet and natural beauty. We are health-conscious. I (very sadly!) am allergic to animals.
We both read a lot. He is currently re-reading a bunch of Dostoevsky. I tend to read several books at once, a mix of fiction and non.
We root for the Mets, Orioles, Nets and Knicks--but we don't bore people with that if they are not interested. (Though even non-baseball-fans could be interested in the great human interest story that is R.A. Dickey...but I'll shut up now.)

So I have been reading several articles (admittedly a few years old) regarding the world grain shortage. Several of the articles relate to China's increased meat consumption, and how they are buying up vast amounts of crop to feed the animals. The article forecast a grain depletion by September of 2010. http://www.redorbit.com/news/busines...e_study_finds/
I was interested in hearing your opinions on it?
It will likely increase grain and meat prices and put the hammer to corn ethanol production. Probably won't impact malting barley, as it already carries a premium price compared to feed barley.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

Rotary Club's guest speakers bring information, fun
On a recent Thursday, when a regular program for Tunica Rotary's weekly meeting had not materialized, this writer recorded members reminiscing about all facets of the local club experience, from heritage to traditions, from projects to programs.
Of some 4,000 over the course of the club's 83-year history, two programs still stand out in members' minds: cited as the "worst program ever" was a slide show of dental problems and procedures presented by the late Dr. Tom Turpin; and the best, a demonstration of exercise techniques by a young and presumably nubile – and somewhat scantily dressed – young woman.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laila20 from So cute and functional This is adorable. I got it in aqua to go on the grey play table we purchased and match the aqua and dark blue chairs we have with it. It's perfect for holding all of the coloring supplies and sits right in the middle on the big paper roll. It's more expensive than other options but I think it's worth it for the nice design.

My three year old can keep her crayons, color pencils, markers, scissors and glue sticks all organized by herself. We keep it on the kitchen table and then when it's time to clear the table it's easy with the handle.

Tomato leaves curling downward
I am having a problem with my hydroponic tomatoes. They are determinate cherry tomatoes and the leaves are curling downwards. The older leaves also have a purple tinge to them but I think I have corrected that issue by increasing the nutrient strength from 360ppm to 700ppm. The plants are 2 weeks old and in a top feed hydroponic system.
The purple colored veins are due to a lack of phosphorus in the nutrient (I think).
As for the curled leaves, it could be too much heat along with not enough water
it could be due to a little caterpillar called a "leaf roller". If you find the little critter, squish him and spray your toms with "BT" available at Home Depot for around $5.
I don't think it could be a caterpillar as there is no soil in my basement, and I am growing with aeroponics. Here are some more details and pictures.
I am growing using aeroponics (low pressure). The plants are wilting from the bottom branches upwards. As each branch wilts and dies the next one up does the same. The leaves are also curling downards and curling in on themselves. The bottom most leaves are tough and leathery and have purple and yellow color. The main stem is purple near the bottom. The person at the hydroponics shop said that he believes my nutrient tank is getting too cold. I checked the temperature and its 70F during the day. I know the air temperature under the 400W HPS lamp remains around 74F during the day, but goes to about 64F at night. Lowest nightime air temperature in the last 30 days was 61F. I am uncertain what the temperature of the water (nutrients) goes down to at night time. I am growing these in my basement and the nutrient tank is sitting on the cold concrete floor of my basement. I have tried two different fertilizers and have grown the same tomatoes in deep water culture without issue using the same fertilizer. I have tried adding hydrogen perioxide to the nutrient water but it did not help. The roots are white and look healthly although the number of roots seems to be stunted as I would expect more roots after 30 days of growing than I am seeing. I have tried regrowing the same tomato plants several times and each time I have cleaned my system out completely, yet I still end up with the same issue. The only thing I can think of us that the water is getting too cold at night. I have my aeroponic sprayers running 1 minute on and 5 minutes off, 24/7. My 400W HPS lamp runs 16 hours on, 8 hours off each day. Running about 700PPM right now, ph is around 6.3. I have tried higher and lower nutrient levels and higher and lower ph levels which did not appear to help.
Here is a link that might be useful:
The leaves on the lower branches my tomato plants are turning under and drying up. The pH is 6.2. The solution reads 2.9. The medium is coir.
The nutrients are Ionic Grow and Ionic Bloom. I am using a 6 unit Autopot system. My tomato fruit are growing however. Why are the lower leaves drying up and turning under?
I "think" I figured this out. I believe it was being caused by the fact that I was growing my plants in a tan colored rubbermaid containing. Because the system is a low pressure aeroponics setup without any medium, the light was bleeding through the sides of the container and hitting the roots. I don't think the roots liked it. I wrapped the entire container with black and white poly to block out all light and all of a sudden the roots started growing laterally and the plants have started uncurling. I did the same with my pepper plants and strawberry plants and noticed that the fruit yield on them increased within a few days. I was also getting calcium deficiency on my strawberries and when I blocked out the light it all went away. So I think that was the cause of the issue, but I will probably have a better idea in a week.

March 17, 2015
Front desk staff was awful--offered to upgrade my rooms if I signed up for an awards program, but when I declined, observed that I was "paying a lot" for one of the two rooms I'd reserved and asked which site I'd used. Did not offer to discount or upgrade the room that I was apparently over-paying for, and neither did the manager when I informed him upon check-out. The manager's customer service solution was to assure me that he'd "counsel" the young man regarding his job skills. Will be avoiding this hotel in the future.

Adjusting Idle Control on 88 Chevy Van
Hey Fellas: My 88 Chevy 3/4Ton travel van is stalling with engine hot and the air conditioner on. Idle is so low the engine just stops. The 350 engine is throttle body injected. I am wondering if the idle speed can be adjusted in the same manner as on a standard carb or is it controlled thru the Engine Control Module? Also: Can the problem be caused by a vacuum leak? I'd sure appreciate some input on this as I was driving in the mountains on the weekend and the engine quit when going down a steep hill. Losing power steering and brakes at highway speed is pretty exciting. :-)
Thanks: Bucky
If your AC is factory installed, check to see if you have an idle stop boost solenoid. Many AC setups in that era used a little solenoid, or vacuum actuator, to increase the idle position of the the throttle plate when the AC was activated. Often, these mechanisms became sticky and did not advance the throttle setting even though the soleniod was energized. If this is the case, some throttle cleaner spray/lubricant may help. There may be a separate idle stop screw for this booster as well.
Since your problem happened at altitude, the throttle stop might need to be increased to compenstate for the thinner air. But, you would need to set it back after returning to lower altitudes else the idle speed would become too fast.
Thanks for the response Jemdandy. The A/C system is factory. I am aware of the idle boost solenoids on the old standard carb set-ups but I can't see one on my throttle body injection unit. I'm thinking that the idle control might be controlled by the engine control module but I'm not sure. I have a vacuum leak that I have been unable to find and am wondering if the problem is related. Any further thoughts on this would be appreciated. Bucky
What threw me was that you said you had a throttle body injector and most of those were just one step up from a carburetor. But you mentioned an engine module controller. If you have an engine module controller, likely you also have an IACS ( idle air controller). The IACS with the engine controller adjusts the engine idle speed. A serious vacuum leak can upset this system and this may be your problem. Find that leak.
Many of the little plastic fittings in the vacuum hoses are restrictors - these have small calibrated holes to restict the amount of air flow. One such restrictor is in the vacuum feed to the heater/AC system that operates the various actuators in the air plenums. Thus, if any of these hoses gets pulled off, the amount of vacuum leak is restricted. Lean out problems may occur if any of these restrictor fittings have been replaced with standard straight-through fittings.
Places for vacuum leaks:
o Tubing
o Fittings
o Vacuum bottle (often on or near the fire wall)
o Power brake
o Vapor recovery system
o Any AC vacuum operated parts such as a hot water diverter valve located in the heater hoses.
If you can hear the leak, this helps in your search.
I am not familar with the system for '88 Chevys. I had an older 1980 Chevrolet Citation, V6 2.8 L and I recall that it had a peculiar vacuum control. The vacuum was limited to say 16 inches. When the vacuum exceeded this value, a valve allowed air to enter the intake which leaned the mixture severely and stopped combustion. This was done to prevent backfiring in the exhaust and blowing off the converter. This came into play mostly when slowing down or comming down a hill with a closed throttle with the engine was in engine braking mode. This never gave any trouble, but could have if it stuck open.
Good luck. Let us know what you find.
Idling slower, and slower until it stalls is a classic complaint on that engine system. It would be throttle body injection, with a completely computer controlled idle speed. I wrote an article on diagnosing just this kind of a problem in '92. Basically something is causing the fuel injection computer to think that the engine is idling faster than it really is. Common causes are a cracked magnet in the "pole piece" GM's name for the center shaft of the distributor that creates the RPM signal in the pick-up coil, or a poor/noisey ground between the distributor and the computer. A good automotive electronics technician, with GM experience will recognize this symptom right away, and will set out properlly diagnosing the failure.
DON'T throw parts at it, have someone who recognizes the symptom test and repair it. Often times, there is more than just this one thing wrong, and the shop may have to do several repairs to work their way back out and restore your truck to the way it was built.
Thanks John G and Jemdandy. Very good understandable information. There is always more to these problems than meets the eye. Question for you John? You say that the idle is completely controlled by the ECM. Does this mean that my set-up does not have an IACS? Thanks: Bucky
The "IAC" is the stepper motor that the PCM controls in order to control the idle speed. Your truck does indeed have one. There is also a minimum idle speed setting, which is adjusted by blocking off the passage that the air for the IAC flows through. The reason just trying to make an adjustment there will not help is the ECM is still misscounting engine RPM and is feeding too much fuel, because it triggers the injectors one time for each "ignition pulse".
Bucky, As far as reading that article, I might be able to find a copy online somewhere. But really it's badly outdated, and if you don't have a stong electronics background, and you dont own and are comfortable using an occilliscope then it's going to read like a TV repair lesson. Suffice it to say, if you have a real scan tool that displays the engine idling speed, and you have a hand held tachometer that reads out very accurately (1rpm), you can compare the scan data engine speed to the speed the engine is really running at. They should be within 25rpm of each other at all times. In the failure described in this post, you will see the scan tool reporting 900-1000 rpm, meanwhile you hear, and see the real rpm dropping lower and lower until it stalls.
John G. : From what you've explained about the 92 article I'm pretty sure that my eyes would just glaze over and I'd get a headache trying to understand it. Electronics were never my strong point. I have enough of a challenge with things mechanical. Thanks again for the insight and information you've provided me. Always appreciated.
John G: I've had a few other mysterious glitches with the old van for the past few years and I'm wondering if they could be related to the stalling issue. When I have the air conditioner on with the dash air vents open and require heavy gas pedal when climbing a hill, the dash vents close up. After a few minutes of flat driving they will open up again. The cruise control also gets weak after 5 or ten minutes of highway driving and requires a slight push on the gas pedal get it operating again. I was thinking that both these issues were related to a vacuum leak somewhere. Could a bad EGR IAC valve cause these things to occur. I've checked all hoses and connections and have found no leak. Thank a lot: Bucky
FOUND THE CULPRIT..VACUUM LEAK: Following John G and JemDandys suggestions I spent the last day and a half sleuthing out the vacuum system on my old van. I started at the engine and worked my way back to under the dash. Replaced several vacuum hoses while I was at it and checked for a free moving EGR valve diaphram. I finally discovered that the small plastic rotating diverter that controls all of the little plastic vacuum lines under the dash had broken. Thats why I was not only having idle stalling problems but also dash vents opening and closing mysteriously and cruise control kicking doing weird stuff. I picked up the part at the local auto wrecker and replaced the vacuum diverter switch. Cruise and air vents now work perfectly...YAHOO... and I've got my fingers crossed that the vacuum leak was also the cause of my hot idle stalling problem. Thanks again for the great advice and suggestions fellas. It feels darn good to finally find my problem and get it fixed. This forum is invaluable to an old car guy like me. Cheers: Bucky

So, I'm stealing an idea used on other blogs. This jury duty stuff makes it difficult to read/approve comments since we, understandably, must keep our cell phones off.

Before getting into the post about birthday parties…If you read Teri Conroy's post and the comments, you know that both Teri and I were summoned for jury duty. Teri was dismissed.

On Saturday, Em and I are finally going down to the New York City to see Avenue Q. It seems like so long ago that I purchased the tickets. We're seeing the matinee (2:30pm) and taking the train to eliminate any hassle with traffic or parking. First of all, we're a bit nervous because it […] [Read More]
Big Girl Food
I've seen studies that say anywhere from 5-25% of infants have some sort of food allergy. That's quite a spread. Is it one in 20 or one in 4? With my odd food sensitivities and allergies, it's something we keep an eye on with Abbi. We, like any semi-normal parents, slowly introduced Abbi to 'real' […] [Read More]
Teething X 6
I think Mother Nature has gone a little coo-coo in her old age. Em, Abbi, and I have gotten really used to sleeping through the night since about the 7 week mark and lately that has not been the case. We knew that this great sleeping was going to hit some roadblocks. There growth spurts, night […] [Read More]
We like to bicycle and we would like to start taking Abbi. As much as she has developed over the last 9 months, she's not quite ready to pedal herself. I prefer and use the Topeak rack and panniers for commuting and initially thought the child seat by the same company would be a no […] [Read More]

Let her cry or go get her?
The past few weeks have proven to be interesting especially when it comes to Abbi's sleep habits. About the only thing that has been consistent is her morning nap which lasts for about 90 minutes.

After Hours
Last night was one of those nights where Em and I were up staring at each other and asking "What do we do now?" Abbi was working on about 24 hours of diarrhea, which by itself isn't a big deal as long as she doesn't become dehydrated and, of course, there is no sign of […] [Read More]

Abbi is this close to crawling. She can get up onto her hands and knees and she rocks back and forth. Right now, she just ends up on her belly and is noticeably frustrated. It's cute and heart wrenching at the same time. She tries so hard. It's only a matter of time before she […] [Read More]

|<< Back to Back Facts
Appendix A
Four Basic Exercises for Good Back Care
The following exercises are helpful for many people. They can be done every day in the order listed below.
Note: Everyone's body is different. Don't do any exercise that causes pain or gets more difficult to do over time. If the exercise relieves pain or gets easier after a few repetitions, keep doing it.
If you are under medical care for a back problem or if you have back pain, be careful. Ask your health-care provider before you try these exercises.
The Pelvic Tilt
The pelvic tilt exercise helps strengthen your stomach, buttocks, and thigh muscles as well as stretching the lower back muscles. This exercise flattens the back and then let the back return to its natural curve.
1. Lie flat on your back on a hard surface with head resting on a small pillow.
2. Bend knees and hips so both feet are flat on the hard surface.
3. Push lower back flat to the floor. Make sure your back is flat by trying to place your hand between your back and the hard surface. When done correctly, your hand shouldn't fit.
4 Tighten your "stomach" (abdominal) muscles.
5. Tighten your "buttock" (gluteal) muscles.
6. Lift your hips from the floor and tilt your whole pelvis forward while keeping your back flat against the hard surface.
7. Hold for a count of ten.
8. Slowly relax.
9. Repeat this exercise ten times.
The best way to do this exercise is on the floor. You can also do it against a wall. Once you are familiar with the "feel" of the pelvic tilt, you can do this exercise in any position and you can practice at work or at home. The pelvic tilt can be done standing up against a wall or while you are standing in line, waiting at a red light, or wherever you can focus on your back for a few minutes.
Lumbar Stretches
When lumbar muscles are tight, they become shortened and interfere with bending, twisting, and pelvic rotating. Keeping these muscles stretched also helps keep the natural curves of the spine in shape.
1. Lie flat on your back on a floor or hard surface with your head on a small pillow.
2. Bend your knees and slowly bring them toward your chest. Reach your hand behind your thigh to help bend the knees. (Note: pulling from the top of the knee isn't good for the knees.) Don't bounce.
3. Keep your head on the pillow and elevate your butt as high as possible off the floor. Your knees should be as close as possible to your chest.
4. Hold this position for a count of 10. Relax, but continue to hold onto your thighs.
5. Again, pull knees as close to your chest as possible. Do this exercise 10 times.
Hamstring Stretches
When hamstring muscles are shortened or tight they interfere with bending. You can stretch them by doing the following exercise. Begin by lying on a hard surface.
1. With your knees close to the chest but in a relaxed position, slowly extend one leg toward the ceiling.
2. Flex your foot and push your heel upward to feel the hamstring muscles stretch. Count to 10 while holding this position.
3. Now bend this leg and bring the knee back toward your chest, while extending the other leg. Repeat Step 2 with the other leg.
4. Repeat this exercise 10 times, one leg at a time.
5. When you are done, bring both knees toward your chest and roll to the side as a safe way of returning to a standing position.
Reverse Situps
Many people have weak abdominal ("stomach") muscles and tend to arch their backs while doing situps. That's why we recommend "reverse" situps to strengthen the three groups of muscles that make the abdomen strong.
1. Sit on the floor in an upright position with knees bent.
2. Lock hands together behind your head and hold your arms out to your side.
3. Tighten your stomach muscles and slowly lean back about 15 degrees, which is like going from 12 noon to 11 o'clock on a timepiece. Hold this position for a count of 5, and 10 if you can.
4. Slowly lean back to the 10 o'clock position. Hold and count again.
5. Return slowly to an upright position.
6. Repeat the whole exercise.

Employees International Union, 1992, p. 12.
13. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average nursing home worker earned $8.67 per hour at 32.8 hours per week for a total of $14,788 per year. Percent of payroll spent on workers' Compensation premiums varies. In Wisconsin, which is lower than many other sates, the percentage is 4.9 percent of payroll. With 1.651 million nursing home workers in the United Sates, $1 billion in premiums is probably on the low side.
14. At $725 in premiums per worker (see Note 13), a nursing home with 100 workers pays about $72,500 a year. A range of $50,000 to $100,000 per home is a reasonable range that would cover homes with varying numbers of employees. Actual figures may be higher.

The MOF has recently approved the opening of three offices by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao. Localisation has been one of the basic strategies of KPMG China's operations.
The award recognises a select number of leading professional firms and advisers that have performed to exceptional levels, even during the most difficult period that the global economy has experienced for decades.
What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
Despite rising costs in China and the subsequent implications for manufacturers, a unique mix of factors is prompting new value propositions in the country as companies re-align strategies and adapt to changing economic conditions.
The content is based on the responses of 213 senior business decision-makers across five key countries: Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It analyses the state of D&A maturity across the Asia-Pacific region.
This ASPAC regional Supplement provides local jurisdictional insight into insurance regulatory change in selected jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region - some of which are recent developments and some of which are expected to be put into practice imminently. While there are also substantial developments taking place in the regulation of insurance products and their distribution, this publication focuses on regulatory and reporting developments affecting capital, solvency and enterprise risk management.
