A blender (10) includes a pitcher assembly (11), a motor and housing assembly (12) and a cooling fan and noise muffling assembly (13). The pitcher assembly (11) includes a blender pitcher (14) having a mixing blade (15) therein driven by a motor (24) positioned in the housing assembly (12) which includes a base frame (31) and a cover (21). The motor (24) is positioned in a pedestal (37) formed in the base frame (31). The base frame (31) is provided with air intake apertures (53, 55). The fan and noise muffling assembly (13) includes a radial fan (60) driven by the motor (24) and a muffler housing (62) which includes a generally cylindrical side wall (68). Air is drawn in through the apertures (53, 55) by the fan (60) and is caused to pass by the motor (24) within the pedestal (37) to cool the motor (24). It then passes through an aperture (66) in an orifice plate (61) and is directed by the fan (60) against the side wall (68). At that point the air turns ninety degrees downwardly and is directed into four chambers (73) below the fan (60), the chambers (73) being formed by ribs (74) extending radially outward from a hub member (75) positioned below the fan (60). The air then again turns ninety degrees inwardly into two chambers (76) divided by a rib (77) below the hub member (75) whereby it turns again and leaves the blender (10) through an air exit aperture (70).
1. A blender comprising a pitcher having a mixing blade therein; a motor to operate said mixing blade; first housing means supporting said pitcher and providing a chamber for said motor, said first housing means having air intake apertures therein; a radial flow cooling fan driven by said motor and having a plurality of radial vanes; second housing means below said first housing means and providing a chamber for said fan, said second housing means having an air exit aperture therein; and means positioned in said second housing means between said fan and said air exit aperture to muffle the noise generated by air moved by said fan, said means to muffle including a plate positioned below said fan, and rib means extending radially outwardly from said plate and dividing said second housing means into a plurality of chambers, the number of said radial vanes of said fan not being evenly divisible by the number of said plurality of chambers; said fan drawing air into said first housing means through said air intake apertures, around said motor to cool the same, through said second housing means and through said means to muffle so that the air is divided in said chambers and recombined as it passes out through said air exit aperture thereby reducing the noise generated by the moving air.

This invention relates to a fan assembly for cooling the motor of a blender. More particularly, this invention relates to a fan assembly which more efficiently cools the motor of a blender. Specifically, this invention relates to a fan assembly in which the noise generated therefrom is muffled to provide a quiet operating blender.
Appliances such as blenders which have motors running at very high speeds, for example, in excess of 10,000 RPM, must be kept cool while operating. In the past, such cooling has been effected by an axial fan mounted directly on the motor shaft to draw air axially across the motor to cool the same. The efficiency of such cooling leaves much to be desired because the motor runs faster when unloaded than when it is operating under a heavy load. Thus, when the fan is needed to provide the most cooling air, it is running the slowest.
Moreover, particularly when running at high speeds, the fan and the moving air produces an excessive amount of noise, in fact, most all of the noise generated by the blender. Such noise is not only irritating to the user, but also in a commercial environment, such as a restaurant or cocktail lounge where these high-speed blenders are often used, the noise is very irritating to the customer. Present known blenders provide no means whatsoever in an attempt to muffle or dampen this noise.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fan assembly for cooling the motor of a blender or the like which produces sufficient pressures and air flows to efficiently cool the motor.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a fan assembly, as above, which quietly operates, the noise generated therefrom being muffled.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a fan assembly, as above, which utilizes a radial flow fan positioned in a muffler housing, the muffler housing allowing significantly greater air pressure and cooling air flow relative to the noise produced while at the same time enclosing the fan to prevent user contact with the moving fan blades.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a method of muffling the noise generated by air being directed outwardly from a radial fan.
These and other objects of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof over existing prior art forms, which will become apparent from the description to follow, are accomplished by the improvements hereinafter described and claimed.
In general, a blender made in accordance with the concepts of the present invention includes a pitcher having a mixing blade therein. A motor is provided to turn the mixing blade. The motor is positioned in a housing having air intake apertures therein. The motor also drives a cooling fan which is positioned in an air noise muffling housing. The air noise muffling housing has an air exit aperture therein. The fan draws air into the motor housing through the intake apertures, around the motor to cool the same, through the air noise muffling housing whereby the noise generated by the cooling fan is reduced, and out through the air exit aperture.
Also in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, the air muffling housing includes generally cylindrical side walls and a bottom surface which contains the air exit aperture. A plate is positioned above the bottom surface and below the fan. Rib members extend radially outward from the plate to divide the housing into a plurality of chambers below the fan. The fan directs the air radially outward against the side walls and it then turns downwardly into the chambers.
A preferred exemplary fan and muffler assembly incorporating the concepts of the present invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings without attempting to show all the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied, the invention being measured by the appended claims and not by the details of the specification.

FIG. 2 is a fragmented sectional view thereof taken substantially along line 2--2 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 is a partially sectioned top view thereof taken substantially along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a fragmented sectional view taken substantially along line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a fragmented sectional view taken substantially along line 5--5 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 is a bottom view taken substantially along line 6--6 of FIG. 1.
A blender constructed in accordance with the concepts of the present invention is indicated generally by the numeral 10 in FIG. 1 and includes a blender pitcher assembly indicated generally by the numeral 11, a motor and housing assembly indicated generally by the numeral 12 and positioned generally below pitcher assembly 11, and a fan and muffler assembly indicated generally by the numeral 13 and positioned generally below motor assembly 12.
Blender pitcher assembly 11 includes a typical or conventional blender pitcher 14 (partially shown in FIG. 1) which receives the food material to be pulverized, blended or otherwise mixed. A mixing blade, generally indicated by the numeral 15, is positioned near the bottom of pitcher 14 and includes a plurality of radially extending blades 16, some of which have portions 17 extending axially upwardly therefrom. As is known in the art, mixing blade 15 is rotated at a high speed to blend food being processed in blender 10. To that end, mixing blade 15 is carried by an axial shaft 18 which extends through a bearing housing 19 and through the bottom of pitcher 14.
A lower outer skirt 20 is provided at the bottom of pitcher 14, and when pitcher assembly 11 is in operating position, as shown in FIG. 1, skirt 20 rests on the top of a motor cover 21 which is part of motor and housing assembly 12. An aperture 22 is provided generally centrally of the top of cover 21 through which a motor drive coupling, somewhat schematically indicated by the numeral 23, extends. When pitcher assembly 11 is positioned on top of cover 21, shaft 18 readily slips into drive coupling 23 to connect mixing blade 15 to the blender motor, generally indicated by the numeral 24 and somewhat schematically shown in the drawings.
Motor 24 can be of any typical configuration having the usual armature 25, field windings 26 and other standard components such as a commutator, brushes and the like, all of which, and in particular the field windings 26, must be cooled during normal operations. An upper drive shaft 27 extends from armature 25 through bearings 28 to drive coupling 23 so that motor 24 operates mixing blade 15. A lower drive shaft 29 extends through lower bearings 30 to the fan and muffler assembly 13 in a manner to be hereinafter described.
Motor and housing assembly 12 also includes an irregularly shaped base frame indicated generally by the numeral 31. The outer periphery of base frame 31 includes an outer skirt 32 having a ledge 33 formed therein to receive the bottom of cover 21. Inwardly of skirt 32, downturned leg members 34 are formed and are positioned above feet 35 located at the bottom corners of base frame 31. A generally horizontal ledge 36 is formed at the inner top of leg members 34. Ledge 36 extends inwardly to an upwardly directed, motor-enclosing pedestal generally indicated by the numeral 37.
Pedestal 37 is best seen in plan view in FIG. 3, and in that view is shown as having upright front and rear walls, 38 and 39 respectively, and upright side walls 40 and 41 extending between front wall 38 and rear wall 39. Lobes 42 and 43 are formed in front and rear walls, 38 and 39 respectively, to provide vertical channels for motor brush holders 44 and 45, respectively. Side walls 40 and 41 are provided with dimpled insets, 46 and 47 respectively, to match the insets in the field laminations 26 thereby maintaining a uniform spacing between motor 24 and pedestal 37 throughout. Posts 48, 49, 50 and 51 are formed at the top of each corner of pedestal 37 and serve as a means to confine any suitable device (not shown) which attaches cover 21 to pedestal 37.
As best seen in FIG. 3, base frame 31 is provided with air intake aperture assemblies, generally indicated by the numeral 52, near the bottom and along each side and the front thereof. The side aperture assemblies 52 are best shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 as including a plurality of apertures 53 separated by ribs 54. Front aperture assemblies 52 include a plurality of apertures 55 separated by ribs 56, as best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
As will hereinafter be described in more detail, fan assembly 13 draws cooling air in through apertures 53 and 55 and into the area between cover 21 and base frame 31, in particular, pedestal 37 thereof. The air then is drawn up over the open top of pedestal 37 and downwardly within pedestal 37 toward fan assembly 13, all as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2. Pedestal 37 is configured, relative to the configuration of motor 24, to assure that all of the areas of motor 24 are adequately cooled. Thus, for a generally square motor, such as motor 24, pedestal 37 is likewise generally square as previously described. For other motor configurations, such as a round motor, one skilled in the art would appreciate that a differently shaped pedestal would be preferred. In any event, for the motor 24 and pedestal 37 shown, cooling air is provided to all motor hot spots, for example, in the space 57 (FIG. 3) between motor 24 and pedestal 37 and in the space 58 (FIG. 3) between the windings 26 and armature 25. In addition, air-directing fins or baffles could be provided to assure that all of the cooling air is in contact with all heated areas of the motor. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, merely by adding small downwardly directed nipples 59 at the bottom of the insets 46 and 47, air coming around the motor is maintained close thereto. Moreover, if desired, curved baffles could be located at the general position of nipples 59.
The fan assembly 13 which creates the above-described air flow includes a radial fan generally indicated by the numeral 60, an orifice plate generally indicated by the numeral 61 and positioned above radial fan 60, and a muffler housing generally indicated by the numeral 62 which, with orifice plate 61, generally encloses radial fan 60.
Radial fan 60 includes an axially extending hub 63 which engages a splined end of lower motor drive shaft 29 so that fan 60 rotates with shaft 29. A lower circular fan plate 64 is positioned at the bottom of hub 63 and a plurality of radial, air-directing vanes 65 extend radially outwardly from hub 63 above plate 64.
Orifice plate 61 is generally circular in plan view and closes off the entire bottom of pedestal 37 with the exception of an orifice aperture 66 positioned centrally of plate 61. As such, plate 61 improves the efficiency of fan 60 by providing a restricted area through which air is drawn. Preferably, aperture 66 is of a size approximately equal to the outer diameter of fan plate 64 and vanes 65. Of course, as shown, lower motor drive shaft 29 conveniently extends through aperture 66.
Muffler housing 62 includes a radially extending upper annular ledge 67 having a cylindrical side wall 68 extending downwardly from the radially inner edge thereof thereby defining a cylindrical enclosure for fan 60 being preferably of a diameter of approximately twice that of fan plate 64. Motor housing 62 also includes an annular bottom surface 69 extending inwardly from the bottom of side wall 68 and having a central air exit aperture 70 therein. Annular ledge 67 is provided with four pin connecting members 71 (FIGS. 4-6) extending upwardly therefrom through corresponding apertures in orifice plate 61 and ledge 36 of motor housing base frame 31 so that muffler housing 62 and orifice plate 61 may be attached to base frame 31 in any suitable manner. A locator pin 72 is provided to circumferentially properly locate muffler housing 62 relative to the other components.
A portion of the cylindrical enclosure defined by side wall 68 of muffler housing 62 just below fan 60 is divided into four chambers 73 (FIG. 5) defined by four ribs 74 extending radially outwardly from a circular hub member or plate 75 to side wall 68. Hub member 75 is preferably of a size approximating the size of fan plate 64 and exit aperture 70, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is positioned just below fan plate 64. As best shown in FIG. 6, the area below hub member 75 is divided into two air flow sections 76 by providing a diametrical rib 77 spanning across air exit aperture 70 and across the bottom of hub member 75. Rib 77 can actually be considered as a connection of two of the four radial ribs 74 above, with those two ribs 74 as well as the interconnecting rib 77 extending below the bottom of hub member 75.
In operation, with motor 24 activated to rotate mixing blade 15 and cooling fan 60, cooling air is drawn into the chamber defined by motor cover 21 through apertures 53 and 55, and circulated within pedestal 37 and around motor 24 as previously described. It is then drawn through the reduced area of aperture 66 in orifice plate 61 on the suction side of fan 60 thereby enhancing the efficiency of the fan.
Vanes 65 of fan 60 then direct the air radially outward toward muffler side wall 68 at the upper level of muffler housing 62, that is, above hub member 75. The moving air and its concomitant noise producing sound waves then turns downwardly ninety degrees and is divided in the four chambers 73 below. The divided air then turns another ninety degrees and flows under hub member 75, with the air from the four chambers 73 combining in the two chambers 76 formed therebelow. Finally, the air contacts rib 77 and turns another ninety degrees, at this point axially in line with motor shaft 29, and leaves muffler housing 62 and blender 10 through aperture 70. A baffle 78 may be provided adjacent to air inlet apertures 55 to prevent the warmer air exiting through aperture 70 from being recirculated into motor housing assembly 12.
It has been found that utilizing the configuration internally of muffler housing 62 to create the air flow pattern just described significantly reduces the noise thereof. The sound waves created by the fan 60 having ten-vanes 65 are first divided into four separate chambers 73 thereby creating sound waves which are out of phase with each other. In this regard it is highly preferable that the number of fan vanes 65 chosen is not evenly divisible by the number of chambers 73, that is, ten is not evenly divisible by four; otherwise, the sound waves could remain in phase. These out-of-phase sound waves then recombine in chambers 76 at which time the high sound nodes tend to be cancelled out by the low sound nodes thereby eliminating much of the undesirable noise created by the moving cooling air.
It should thus be appreciated that a blender constructed with the noise muffling concepts in accordance with the above description accomplishes the objects of the present invention and otherwise substantially improves the art.

David Haye doesn't deserve a fight with Vitali and he doesn't deserve the payday.
But, I actually want this fight to happen.
Wlad outclassed Haye.
Vitali will KILL Haye.

I'd love to see this fight!
But Haye will be very difficult to negotiate with. I think they'll go for Dimitrenko instead since he won't give the same headaches.

Haye knows what Vitali does to opponents, just look at the faces at the end of the fight, half the time they go to hospital or their corner throws in towel because he just punishes them.
Sometimes I think Vitali is sadistic and doesnt even go full power, he just hits hard enough to bust them up, in the first and second round he hurt Adamek with 2 right hands and he looked and was like hmmm, let me play with you for a few rounds. I think he couldve finished it much earlier but wanted to give Adamek a beat down. Even when the Ref stopped it in the 10th Vitali looked pissed, like I wasnt done yet bro, give me another round before I finish him.

Haye is a very powerful and explosive opponent against anyone except Wlad and Vitali. That's where it ends.
Granite Haye did land pretty good shots against Wlad, Vitali's defense is 10x better.
The Klits have proven that regardless of what you've done previously against other HVWT opponents, for some reason, it all goes out the window when you face them.

If they do this fight it should be a normal promotion like Vitali/Adamek and not over the top Like the Wlad fight.
Lets do it.

Researchers Outline Spammers' Business Ecosystem 14
from the is-that-enough-info-to-send-the-rebel-alliance? 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).
Spam has shifted gears. Before, it was mainly advertising and "chop your dollar" scams. Now, I mainly see phishing attempts either to get people to give up data or to go to a site that would attempt a large number of exploits (even trying to offer bogus "securityscan.apk" files on Android.) This isn't surprising because getting a victim's computer on a botnet is far more lucrative for a spammer than actually getting them to buy some pills or fall for yet another 419 scam.
You are false data.

Tall, fast-growing evergreen screen?
Layout: North/South 3' wide planting area at the rear of my backyard, at grade with a 6' privacy fence on the east side, 4' drop to backyard level on west side. Nearly full midday/afternoon sun.
soil: clay, w/ a bit of sand.
background: Had three Loblolly pines spread 10' apart. They have died, one by one between the hottest part of summer and now. The needles have turned brown and fallen off.
question: I'd like to replace them with some sort of faster growing evergreen to provide screening from an upstairs window on the house to my east (behind the privacy fence). I need at least 15' of height. I'd like under the foliage to be open, for other mid-height shrubs between the trees (knock-out roses are there now). I'm looking at Spartan Juniper, Yoshino Japanese Cedar (will this grow here?) and Leyland Cypress. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
I haven't said anything yet because I am very far south...almost in Texas....so don't have the same soil, heavier rainfall (most years) or humidity here that y'all tend to have up there. I was hoping someone in the Tulsa area would respond and give you their thoughts. Since they haven't, here's mine:
First of all, I'd look around the area and note which conifers have survived this year's drought and still look good. Then, I'd consider those types if I was determined to plant a conifer. Keep in mind that survival has as much to do with watering techniques as anything else so plan ahead for how you can consistently provide water in future summers, particularly drought summers. A sprinkler system is a huge help, but in the absence of one, you can put down simple drip irrigation lines very easily. I'd buy quality irrigation line, and DripWorks is an online retailer that sells quality products. That where we bought our dripline system.
Secondly, it is very unfortunate that fast-growing plants tend to be weak-wooded which means they often will die faster too. It is better to buy something slightly slower-growing that is a higher-quality plant and that has better longevity.
Third, if the choice is between conifers and broad-leaved evergreens, my personal preference is always going to be for broad-leaved evergreens. In recent years, millions of conifers in the USA, including many in Oklahoma, have fallen prey to bark beetles, which ultimately kill them.
Also, from the point of view of someone who has been to many wildfires since 2004, I'd just like to add that when you have conifers near any structure on your property, if a wildfire approaches, they go up like torches and help spread the fires. Even after going to dozens and dozens of wildfires a year in a bad fire year, it still astonishes me when I watch those cedars going up like torches. It is just mind-blowing to watch the fire hit those conifers. If you are close enough, you hear the "whoosh" type sound they make as they flame up in just an instant.
We live on acreage in a rural area that is heavily infested with eastern red cedar and we have removed dozens and dozens of them that were within 300' of our home. We did this because when they burn, they can explode and send burning sap flying through the air. The further the trees are from your house and any other structures, the better.
Fourth, I just happen to love hollies of all types, and for good reason. They are not as fast-growing as conifers, but they do grow pretty quickly. They are high-quality, look pretty all year long, are fairly drought-tolerant (though they will need irrigation until they are well-established and will need some irrigation in drought periods), do not have a lot of pests and form nice thick screens for privacy hedges.
We have a two-story house and wanted to plant tall shrubs near it that would be in scale with the house, and then put shorter shrubs in front of them. We choose Burford hollies after much research and never have regretted it. We intended to let them reach their full mature size and somewhat pyramidal shape and never intended to prune them into unnatural formal hedges, so we spaced them very carefully so they would not be too close to the house or to one another. How has it worked out? Beautifully. The older ones on the south side of the house are about 8 or 9 years old and are so well-established that they do not have to be watered very much even in periods of severe through exceptional drought.
There are some younger ones on the east side of the house that are only 4 years old, and they need more irrigation since their root systems are not yet as large, but eventually they'll get big enough that I won't have to water them often. This summer I have watered them about once a week, watering for a long period of time at a low rate to that the water could soak deeply into the soil.
Both Nellie R. Stevens Holly and Foster's Holly are fine hollies and I would not hesitate to plant either one.
One consideration that might be more important for you since you are further north than I am would be the effect of ice storms on them. However, that's going to be true with any evergreen when there is an ice storm, whether it is a conifer or a broadleaf plant. We haven't had much ice here since moving here in 1999, but y'all have ice storms a lot more frequently up there.
I hate that you lost your Ponderosa pines, but am not surprised. Many people in your area also lost their Thuja plants in last year's drought, and for much of your area, I think this year's drought was even more severe than last year's. Often, shrubs that can withstand an occasional bad drought year cannot withstand repeated ones.
Our neighbor catty-corner across the road from us lost a long row of Ponderosa pines planted as a screen along a fenceline back in either June or July of this year, but he lost them to wildfire. They were about 20-25 years old and were very tall and beautiful. Our VFD got there pretty quickly and stopped the fire pretty fast, all things considered, but it started right beside that row of pines and a substantial portion of them were fully engulfed when we arrived on the scene. He also had dead cedar trees lying on the ground that he was in the middle of cutting and removing, so those poor pines didn't stand a chance with those cedars to fuel the fire.
With wildfires becoming more common here since 2005, every decision we make about our landscape nowadays takes into consideration the principles of firewise landscaping too. Had we know when we moved here in the late 1990s that the 2000s would bring repeated years of drought and wildfire, there are some landscaping decisions we would have made differently than we did then. That doesn't mean we are tearing out the landscaping we have, but it does mean that when an area is redone, we'll be careful to incorporate the principles of firewise landscaping to the extent that we can.
Good luck making your selection and replacing your trees. I hope you'll let us know which ones you selected and how it works out for you over the next few years.
So, this location receives full sun throughout most of the day? If so I would suggest to stay clear of the Yoshino and the Cypress unless you are committed to watering very often during establishment. Many junipers will fair decent there if allowed time to root before intense summer Oklahoma sun. Fall or early spring planting would be best to avoid that possibility. If you have a good watering schedule/machines that will do it for you a Leyland Cypress would be a good addition to that space and a fast grower as well. The problem with Leyland Cypress is their height. Unless you anticipate the 30-50 ft. they may grow in 15-20 yrs you may be unhappy. However, there are smaller dwarf species of Leyland that reach a maximum height around 20 ft.
Like Okiedawn I like the idea of large Hollies if you have a irrigation system to keep them through the tough summer months. Usually large hollies like Nellie Stevens only reach maximum heights around 20 ft. and many have pretty red berries in fall and winter. If you look at the Burford Hollies make sure you are not viewing the dwarf variety or you will be surely disappointed with their ultimate height.
Overall, you have many possibilities and I would suggest visiting a local nursery and or speaking with them over the phone about their availability and what could be planted this time of year. One such nursery which I especially like is Marcum's located in Goldsby, Ok and OKC 405-288-2368. Not very close to you but they provide great advice.
Best of luck,
Thank you very much for the detailed responses!! I appreciate your time, wisdom and kindness.
Looks like Nellie R. Stevens hollies will be going in in the next couple of weeks. The area is on an irrigation system, so I should be able to control the water there pretty easily.
Scott? 'fraid that's me. What are you up to?
I decided to plant Nellies Stevens hollies a few years ago but couldn't find any at that time. I didn't look past the big box stores though.
Good luck with them. Nice to see you post here. There are some very knowledgeable people on the board that have helped me quite a few times.

Konstantin Nikolaevich Batiushkov
Konstantin Nikolaevich Batiushkov was the son of Nikolai L'vovich Batiushkov and Aleksandra Grigor'evna Batiushkova (neé Berdiaeva); both parents belonged to the old nobility. Konstantin had three elder sisters (Aleksandra, Elizaveta and Anna) and one younger (Varvara). His father also had children by his second wife, Avdot'ia Tegleva, one of whom, Pompei Batiushkov, later became the publisher of Konstantin's biography and collected works (1885—87), edited by a leading academician, Leonid Maikov. Family tradition spoke of Nikolai as a "nobleman out of imperial favour". His career difficulties could be explained by the unfavorable attitude of Catherine II, caused by his involvement ... more »

As a wild flower hangs its head and wilts Beneath the reaper's killing scythe, Ill, I awaited my untimely end And thought: the fateful hour's nigh.
My Inspiration
O recollection of the heart! You're stronger Than reason's cheerless recollection. Your sweetness oft Enchants me in a far-off land.
The Farewell
BENT o'er his sabre, torrents starting From his dim eyes, the bold hussar Thus greets his cherish'd maid, while parting For distant fields of war:
Odysseus' Fate
Through horrors of land and horrors of sea Bereft and wandering, Odysseus, God-fearing wretch, sought Ithaca; Unfaltering, he plunged into the gloom of Hades;
Epitaph For A Shepherdess

Know'st thou what gray Methuselah Pronounced when parting with this life? Man's born a slave, He dies a slave,

As a wild flower hangs its head and wilts
Beneath the reaper's killing scythe,
Ill, I awaited my untimely end
And thought: the fateful hour's nigh.
With eyes already veiled by Erebus' thick gloom,
My heart slowed down its beat:
I was collapsing, disappearing, and it seemed
The sun of youth had set.
Then you arrived, O my heart's joy,
And with the breath of your red lips,
The flaming tears of your bright eyes
The union of our kisses,
The strength of loving words and passionate sighs
You called me back from gloomy realms,
From Orcus's fields and ...

@sprintdude your comments are typical of the right's desperate attempts to whitewash its own sad history on race. You claim that dems resisted the civil rights laws is a half-truth used by the GOP to obscure the reality that the racist southern dems or "dixiecrats" as they are more appropriately called, IMMEDIATELY shifted to the GOP post civil rights legislation! Perhaps you are familiar with Strom Thurmond= the GOP establishment figure who filibustered the civil rights act. Any historian who isnt a liar knows that it was the liberal wing of the democratic party that pushed through civil rights and the repubs who supported it back then would all be called RINOs today.
As for lincoln and the repubs freeing the slaves- this is also complete intellectual dishonesty- today's GOP is so far removed from lincolns republicans it is amazing; the modern GOP is a party of small government and state's rights while Lincoln FOUGHT A WAR TO PRESERVE FEDERAL AUTHORITY OVER THE STATES. And on an issue that was not expressly granted to them by the constitution no less! Today's GOP is not a party that has anything to do with civil rights progress let alone ending slavery- the party's modern forebears like Reagan OPPOSED civil rights! Your claims are ridiculous, ignorant and ahistorical.

"The need for high-quality, dynamic websites is expanding," said Cherubini, president of the company. "Companies are realizing the importance of their online presence. Video is helping them to better communicate their products and services to prospective customers. Our vision for the epic Creative Co-Op is a one-stop shop for all a company's online marketing needs. We feel the time is right to build a first-class production studio here in The Woodlands."
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Wanted to apologize
To Annie/canyonwind for being so late on my end of sending out those seeds I owed you.
To the swaps I wanted to join but had to drop out of.
AND to MNF group for being so late with Annie's seeds.
I have not been posting or participating in any swaps/trades or groups lately. I haven't even been checking the post except sometimes I do check and post a few things on the quilting forum nor have I been keeping a regular check on my email.
The reason is because I have developed cataracts and they are bad an getting worse. I had been told over the past 8 years or so each time I saw an optometrist that I had them an it was just a matter of WHEN they would develop.
I thought ok so I know they are there ok, I can deal with that if an when the time comes.
Well the time came too quickly because I could see VERY well in the spring, I could see the tiny writing I put on my little plant tags in my seed trays without a problem. Over the summer I noticed I was getting to the point I couldn't see very well at all, at first I just thought it was due to me needing new glasses.
So of course I put off going to the eye doc, when things started getting to the point that I couldn't see my tags I just thought ok, eyes are getting worse faster because I am older and I REALLY need to get new glasses, no big deal.
I have had the halos that come with cats for a long time, but it was just at night then it got to the point I had the halos during the day and sunlight hurt like crazy and should light hit my eye directly it physically hurt like mad. To the point tears would come. I KNEW this wasn't right and at that point I knew the cats had developed SOME, I was still ok an put off going to see the eye doc.
When my vision got to the point I could no longer read much of anything including labels from seeds I was getting in trades I just figured I needed reading glasses so I decided to go check some out at the dollar store, that was a no go, I still couldn't read at any power. I at this point still am not concerned because I figured they just didn't have the right power I needed....so I waited about a month when the little magnifying glass I was using didn't work anymore and went back to the store to check out the reading glasses again and the store I was in had them up front where the floor to ceiling window was an the light was spilling in an this time I could see the haze/cloudiness I was not seeing before, I figured the layout of the store and lighting with the sun had something to do with that.
AT THIS POINT I am more concerned but still figured ok, go have your eyes examined they will get you the glasses you need and you will be able to read again and all will be well again....
Sometimes things in life are just not as simple as you want them to be, when I did get to the optometrist I couldn't see a thing on the wall chart, NOTHING, it wasn't clear enough to make out any of it clearly. I knew when I couldn't read the TOP line I was in trouble BUT I wasn't worried because I again figured my eyes had just gotten so bad I needed the coke bottle glasses to see.
It wasn't until the doc came in I started to worry, he looked at my eyes an asked me some questions an one was I bet sunlight an light in general hurt your eyes don't they? I said yes, I have very sensitive eyes. He said, an when did u notice your vision getting worse? Me: The last 4 months they have gotten to the point I can't see.
He said, well yes, you have cataracts an they are this kind, an rattled off a name that was about this long heheusheyjjlntoitnowcantseenothing kind which are the fast growing kind. I can't tell you much yet, let's see what happens when I dilate your eyes....
so, off I go to the girl who does this and it hurts like hades,,,gosh I don't remember that stinging and burning THAT bad! Geeze!
After I am looking like a zombie I get to see the torturer again because THIS time he brings out that dang little pen light and OH BABY I CRIED THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS LOOKING IN MY EYES... involuntarily I might add though I wanted to really cry, it felt like my eyes were on FIRE!
SOOO, he is turning this little light this way an that an saying, nope can't see this way, nope can't see this way either...this happened about 6 times an he finally says, I am sorry but I can't even see in your left eye. The cataract is so bad I can't see past it. Your right eye is a little better but notmuch.
They have to come off, do you have insurance?
Ok well you have to have this done or you won't be able to see, there is no point in you ordering new glasses because you will not be able to see anyway.
AND THAT WAS THAT, I can't see, I need surgery an I am in a horrible situation at the moment I can't pay to get it done, no job, no insurance, an I can't see well enough NOW to get a job....
My bf thinks I am joking when I tell him I can't see something but I can't it is bad. He thinks because I can see on MY settings on the computer I can see, BUT he uses a different browser and I can not see anything on his.
We have a 23 inch screen and I use Google Chrome an have it enlarged to as high as it will go so I am able to see the content of online things, for me even then sometimes I am still unable to see somethings.
The point to this posting is to let those I have traded with know and the swaps I was trying to be part of that I am not a deadbeat trader, I am just so depressed at the moment I don't feel like doing anything.
I mailed off Annie's seeds Tuesday 10/30 so as of this posting I don't owe anyone.
I saw where Dan disbanded the sewing group, I wanted to join them, I had been looking at sewing machines I wanted, BUT I can't see well enough at the moment to even thread one if I had it I could only image what something would look like if I tried to sew anything at the moment.
AT any rate, I am sooo sorry for my ramblings I just wanted this group of folks as a whole to know I am still a good swap partner, I am just down for the count at the moment and I don't know when I will be back in the game and until I can see again I have no desire to do anything with seeds.
I didn't even finish out my garden this year because I couldn't see well enough to harvest much, so it grew up. Some of the stuff I managed to save to get seeds from are just sitting outside I may or may not clean them, depends on if I have a good enough day to remotely see some details....
It was fun being part of GW again, maybe I can do it again.
:) Aqua
I tried my best to not misspell anything but by the time I got to the end it was blurry so forgive any typos....
Aqua, go to a hospital emergency ward - some hospitals have to treat anyone who comes to the ER. Or try a teaching/university hospital.
Could you ask your boyfriend to help you find a hospital ER or teaching/university hospital that could help you?
A neighbor's relative on disability with diabetes did this for complications from his disease, and got help.
Another friend of mine on disability (lives a couple of states away from me) had to drive 5 hours to the nearest hospital that would treat her. Both my neighbor and friend did not have insurance or jobs due to their health problems, but the first got help through a hospital ER and the second one got help at a teaching/university hospital.
Please look into these possibilities and let us know how it turns out for you.
Hope this helps and that you will keep in touch with us.
Will be praying for you Aqua :) !!!
Hope you get fixed up soon and return back to us...and if you get depressed don't go it alone...please know that even tho I've only traded with you a time or 2 I have enjoyed knowing you as part of this site and a garden neighbor and will be thinking about you :)
Take care, Dianne
I have never traded with you but feel so bad for you that you are having all these problems. Please try to find a way to get medical care. I know easier said than done, but it doesn't sound like something that can be postponed.
Let us know how you are doing and you know that this is a very understanding group when sending things late due to serious problems so I'm sure everyone understands.
Thanks ya'll some days are better then others but I can tell the are getting a lot worse.
I am sure it will get worked out. I haven't lost hope yet.
Jeanne sometime I would like to email you about your surgery. I know you had some issues an I am sure you can give me some tips to help me through when I get to that point if you don't mind.
:) Aqua
I had to have cataract surgery in one eye a few years back and I didn't have insurance for it. A friend said to make sure I told the receptionist at the eye doctor that I was paying out of my own pocket because doctors often have a price break for those without insurances. Turned out I saved over $1,500 over the whole pre, post and surgery appointents by telling the reception at each appointment.
I hope you can save some money this way.

I'm proud to be a bookaholic...addicted, obsessed, passionate!!! My favorite way to relax & escape reality....
First, I read this book on my kindle app and I decided to try it in audio. Either way, the story held my attention and I really enjoyed this 1st book in the series. This book begins with Evelyn going out for her 21st birthday, she wants to get a little wild, have a little fun. So she goes to Vegas with her best friend. The last thing she remembers is taking shots after midnight... the next morning she wakes up with a ring on her finger and a tattoo on her ass. And she can't remember a damn thing. Evelyn has her life mapped out. Getting married to a rockstar she just met on her 21st birthday is not part of that plan. David isn't happy that Evelyn doesn't remember anything. He married her for a reason, he fell for her right away, and now he doesn't know what to do about it. It's a pretty messed up situation. Once the media catches wind of this its even more crazy. Eve and David go away for a bit to get away from the crowds and decide what to do. To divorce or not to divorce... that is the question. While at David's home away, the couple starts to get to know one another. Evelyn realizes that she really likes David. She may even be falling for him. She is afraid to tell him her feelings. David still feels hurt and betrayed that Evelyn remembers nothing of their night together. One thing is pretty obvious... they both want each other.
Once they go back to LA, everything changes. There are a lot of issues, miscommunications etc. Things get screwed up. It's a little heart breaking. David & Eve spend some time apart.
Just a touch of drama and angst, but not overkill. A wonderful rockstar book that will keep a smile on your face!
This is the FIRST book in the Assassins series. For most of the book there was really no conflict, just a budding romance between two very different people. It was simply a love story between a successful woman, Elli, who is loaded with insecurities, and a professional athlete, Shea, who is so amazing. Shea is the captain of the Assassins hockey team in Nashville. The heroine Ellie is sweet, funny, smart, and a incredibly successful photographer. She is also a young southern lady who has insecurity issues. Elli Fisher has been hurt, emotionally and physically, by former loves and her family. After overcoming a medical issues, she stood on her own for so long that she doesn't quite know how to trust others. Shea meets Elli at a team photo shoot where she is the photographer. He gets her to do the photography at party of his and things start to progress from there. This book has it all. Laughter, sexy time, drama, heartache and love. Shea the sexy, sensitive, tattooed hockey player for the Assassins wears geek glasses is muscled, funny, sweet, jealous, possessive and becomes totally in love &devoted to Elli. And Shea's absolutely adorable with his twin sister, Grace, and her family. I thought Shea and Elli were so sweet together. However, Elli's excessive doubts throughout the chapters were the only qualms I had with the book, everything else was good. I did appreciate the slow building romance. These two characters did not just meet, had insta-love and lived happily ever after. Oh no, you got to see a build of a fantastic and realistic love. All in all, the book was entertaining and if you enjoy hot hockey players, I recommend it.
This book was a bit predictable but it was still delicious! I was hesitant when I heard about a love triangle. Olivia is a country girl whose in her senior year of college, working as a bartender, never willing to abandon her father like her mom did, currently renting/ living with her spoiled bitchy cousin. Olivia has sworn to stay away from the bad boy type because of failed past relationships. Of course, she finds herself drawn to her cousin's sexy perfect smart boyfriend named Nash & his ultimate sexy bad boy twin named Cash. She wants Cash but knows that Nash is who she should be with. Unfortunately, Nash is taken. This book has a definite twist and ends with a much hated cliffhanger! Overall it was still worthy of a credit. Glad to see the second book will be released by Audible soon.

Cummins Inc. reaffirmed that its entire on-highway product range, including its ISX engine, will be ready to meet the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for the North American market beginning in 2010.
The company will offer a range of engines from the 6.7-liter ISB to 15-liter ISX, delivering best-in-class fuel economy and performance while complying with the EPA's newest and most stringent emissions standards.

McCain, now as lonely a voice in the Senate as Churchill had been in Parliament before 1939, pointed out that the Patriot Act and FISA surveillance could probably have averted the Second 9/11. But few listened, especially after the Super Fairness Doctrine was signed, muzzling conservative voices on cable and the Internet as well as talk radio.
Did I mention it was depressing, that GOP caucus I magically attended in 2012? It was the pits. Speaker Charles Rangel had passed a black reparations bill in 2009. The Tribe court had ordered gay marriage in 2010. Israel had fallen in 2011. Why didn't thinking Republicans work harder to prevent the 2008 schism, we sat there asking each other.
The upside, we told ourselves, was Barack's vulnerability for reelection against Condi or Newt or Jeb. Even Huck and Rudy were talking of a comeback. Chances seemed good, considering the recession triggered by Rangel's huge tax increase, along with global tension over an Al Qaeda-dominated Iraq, an Iran with nukes, and a China that had seized Taiwan while the US stood by.
Predictably, Obama-Care was way over budget and already unpopular. Thankfully, his Supreme Court nomination of Bill Clinton, a payoff to Hillary for the DNC deal on super-delegates, had failed. Republican hopes were reviving. But what a price to pay for getting America's conservative party unified and competitive again.
Then, snap! I was back at the wheel, and it was still 2008. Heaven protects day-dreaming pundits. Headlights showed my garage door going up. My party might still avert self-destruction.

Storage bed help
I recently got the brimnes bed from ikea, however once I put my pillow top mattress on it with the box spring, the headboard is hidden and it is too high to climb into. The frame has a metal support running through the center and four metal supports in each corner.
Can I rest my mattress on these metal supports with no box spring or slats?
Should i go get some plywood from home depot and cut it down to size, or make my own 2x4 slats?
I think the mattress has springs and supports in it and is self sufficient as a one piece without a box spring, but how can I check?
I don't have the room to take the bed apart until I figure this out, and I don't have the money to get the slats or board yet, but i need to sleep and cant get up there! I'm concerned the mattress might be too heavy for the frame with me and the boxspring.. even if i could get up there..?
Ikea sells slatted bed bases to go with their beds. They're meant to support the mattress directly and eliminate the need for the box spring. I've linked to the nicest one, but I think there are three or four versions. Just search for "slatted bed base" on their site.
Here is a link that might be useful: IKEA slatted bed base
I would get a sheet of plywood and cut it to size. We did this once with a platform bed that had slats and two of the slats broke, so replaced all of it with a sheet of plywood. It worked fine.
My dd has a dble bed that was soooo comfortable but when we moved her up to the attic the box spring wouldn't fit up the stairs. We got a piece of plywood instead and her bed hasn't been nearly as comfortable since. I'm heading off to IKEA to see if the slatted version jakabedy linked will fit.
just wanted to say thanks, jakabedy. Not sure if you were any help to the OP, but we just finished putting the IkEA bed base under my dd's mattress and it is much, much better. Just in time too because the plywood shifted in the night last night and fell off the frame - she slept half the night on a diagonal slope :-)
That sounds really upsetting to have bought something but not being able to use it with immediate effect. Adding on to that, you might even have to fork out extra money in order to fix the problem. As a consumer, I feel your pain but so far I have never personally encountered any problems with Ikea products. You should consult the shop directly and see if their handymen could help with any physical adjustments at their costs, and not yours. Perhaps they could do something to the storage underneath or something.

I have ikea brimnes, with slats, and a pillow top mattress, drawers underneath, bu it is also way too high. No box spring. I love the bed and the drawers and the storage headboard,but it is a foot too high.
Gives the phrase 'climbing into bed' a whole new meaning.
