Edgemere is a century-old luxury-rustic Maine summer home on a private island in Casco Bay where three generations of one family have summered. The house sleeps eight comfortably in a master bedroom with large balcony and window seat for naps, three paneled bedrooms with water views and easy bathroom access. It can accommodate up to 12 persons with the use of a first floor bunk room and a lovely near-by woods-edge cabin. All except the bunk room have water views. There are 1 full bath with claw foot tub and ½ bath upstairs and ½ bath downstairs with a large cedar-enclosed hot water summer shower outside tucked behind rose trelissed lattice fencing for further privacy. The house has a classic situation, set on two acres of lawn, woods and wild flower meadow on a private point of land, oriented northwest. It is 100 feet from the rocky coast and water's edge with three near by beaches. From the veranda surrounding 3 sides of the house, guests have 270 degree views across Casco Bay of neighboring islands, historic Portland harbor fortifications, beautiful sunsets over the Portland skyline, active lobstering just off shore, sail boat races and pleasure boating. Swimming, sunning and boating are made easy with a short walk to near by beaches as well as the use of the summer ferry landing dock and floats within a short walk.
Edgemere has plenty of room. The house is used to frequent informal entertaining and is fully equipped: an eat-in modern equipped kitchen with two pantries, This includes a large Weber gas grill housed on the veranda. The laundry includes a washer/dryer set, traditional set tubs, and a fresh-air drying yard. The house has a paneled dining room seating 8-12, a large living room with multi-paned sliding windows that afford panoramic water views and a pre war Becker piano, bookcases throughout house pre war novels upstairs and down, and a prewar Becker piano. Wifi affords connection throughout the house and veranda. There is a landline and good cellphone reception. There is a wide furnished veranda on three sides of the house, a large second story balcony porch facing bay-ward off the master bedroom, and a clay-based and grass-surfaced level playing ground for lawn games with equipment (croquet, bocci ball, petanque, badminton.) The property includes a sweet summer cabin filled with air and light from screen doors and multiple windows and skylights. It has a king size bed and window seats as well as slung hammocks and is situated a few yards from the main house on the edge of the woods, also with water views. Edgemere renters have access to three clay tennis courts maintained by the island and a privately-owned swimming pool with posted hours.
Cushings Island, laid out by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, with multiple historic homes designed by John Calvin Stevens, offers the peace and beauty of earlier times. The island is a pedestrian experience, walking grassy roads and miles of maintained paths that capture great views of the sea from rocky promontories and woodland scent and color. There are no cars, stores, bicycles, streetlights or paved roads save a few in the residential area of WWII Fort Levitt. In addition to tennis, the island is perfect for sailing, kayaking and other boating as well as on shore and off shore rock fishing. Yet Cushing Island is only a 20 minute ride by private passenger ferry to well-equipped Portland Center with restaurants, summer festivals, art galleries and shops and both an international airport and train and bus connections. Stores like Harbor fish, Whole Foods Market and Rosemont Market deliver phoned orders to the thrice-daily (twice Sat & Sun) Cushings ferry on Di Millos Wharf. Cushings does not expect residents to heft baggage and groceries home or trash off the island: island services convey them, automatically meeting ferries and collecting trash and recyclables on appointed days. Edgemere has classic island wheel barrows available owned by each house and used on occasions of water taxis or residents' own requirements.
This summer rental getaway is now available for selected weeks in July and August 2015. It is ideal for families, families with guests, and/or sets of convivial adult couples.
Four generations have spent their summers in our island home. It was built for our grandparents in 1913 back when Cushings Island was a well known East Coast retreat. Today the island is a well kept secret that has retained much of its 19th century charm. Forty families make this island their home during the summer.
Herb Nolan purchased this house in 1913
Cushings is a private island served by a dedicated ferry from Portland. Its paths, beaches, docks, tennis courts, and other amenities are shared by all who stay on the island. One can wander at will along miles of paths that lead to various beaches, coves, and the rugged coast line facing the open ocean.
SETTING: The west shore of Cushings Island, where our home is located, is one of the few places on the coast where one can sit and watch the sunset across a glistening bay. Two acres of lawn and meadow along the shore offer ample room to play games or relax in the Adirondack chairs set along the shore or hang out in the hammock. A sandy beach at the foot of the lawn offers great swimming and boating opportunities and two other crescent beaches just down the path provide quiet solitude. You may be the only person on these beaches much of the time.
ACCESS: Cushings Island is served by private ferry which operates three times a day. An on-call water taxi service is available and is very prompt. One could fly into the Portland airport and be on the island within an hour's time. The Island is a twenty minute boat ride from the Portland waterfront yet feels worlds apart from the mainland. It is a rustic get away with no stores or cars. One truck is used by the island crew for delivering groceries and luggage from the dock to the houses. Several stores in town will bag up and delivered grocery orders to the ferry for delivery to the island with prior notice so there is no need to return to the city to go shopping. For those who want a night on the town, however, Portland's 'Old Port' with its charming restaurants and bars is a fifteen taxi boat ride away.
Our family has enjoyed many wonderful summer weeks in this beautiful house on this wonderful island. Cushing's Island is a unique place and this house is a jewel. The children spent many hours roaming the island and playing on the wonderful beaches. The adults spent many hours doing much the same thing! As the city of Portland is just a short ferry or sea cab ride away, when you want activity, it is very easy to enjoy the fabulous restaurants and shopping that Portland has to offer. It is even fun to take in a Sea Dogs baseball game! However, the rest and relaxation of the island and the beauty and comfort of this beautiful house, will probably mean you will never leave the property, much less the island!
We found Cushing's because we were looking for an "island" experience close to home. We wanted to feel like we got away from it all. Boy did we find it. Cushing Island is a true treasure. A short 15 minute ferry transports you to a different world. Tree lined paths and friendly neighbors greeted us and we instantly felt like we stepped back in time. Gorgeous views no matter where you walk. The house is a short walk from the ferry and the island's caretaker ships all your gear to your doorstep so you don't have to worry about a thing. The house is so charming and homey. You really feel as if you are one of the family. We went with our two young boys (7 and 11) and their grandfather. THe island is so safe (no cars) that the kids could really be free. We joked that they just went feral for the week. We thought we would want to go explore Portland more but the island was so charming that we found we really didn't want to leave. Lots of trails and beaches to explore. We still talk about it and hope to return soon. THank you again! One of our best vacations yet!
Two sandy beaches are just steps away from the wrap around veranda and two acer lawn overlooking the ocean. The island has several miles of walking trails leading to coves, rocky cliffs, and a rugged coast line towards the open ocean. Several clay tennis courts are available for communal use by the 40 households on the island. One can kayak directly from the shore in front of the house to visit other nearby islands. Cushing is a rustic get away with no stores or cars but Portland's Old Port with its charming shops, restaurants, and movie theatre is a short 20 minute ride by taxi boat away.

ABSTRACT: Conventional surgical excision (SE) is commonly used to treat patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC). There have been few studies, however, evaluating the long-term prognosis of Japanese patients receiving SE for treatment of BCC. The purpose of this retrospective study is to determine the effectiveness of SE in accomplishing the long-term cure of patients with BCC. We enrolled 290 patients with primary BCC who underwent SE during 1998-2006. The prognosis of treated patients was subsequently investigated using data obtained through our hospital cancer registration section. In total, 205 patients (70.7%) were treated for BCC lesions located on the face. The mean tumor diameter of excised lesions was 12.8 mm. A majority of patients in the study (256 patients, 88.3%) had pigmented BCC. The mean surgical margin at SE was 3.8 mm. Two patients developed local recurrence during the postoperative course of 290 patients (mean duration, 80 months). One patient developed recurrent disease 21 months after surgery, and the other developed recurrence at 66 months after surgery. The 5- and 10-year cumulative recurrence rates were 0.4% and 0.8%, respectively. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that long-term high cure rates of BCC in Japanese patients may be achieved through conventional SE. A better prognosis was obtained in this study compared with similar studies reported previously in Caucasians. This may be related to the predominance of pigmented versus non-pigmented lesions in the Japanese population.The Journal of Dermatology 06/2013; 40(9).

ABSTRACT: Various microscopic classifications of metastatic sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) have been reported along with predictors of additional lymph node positivity and their correlations with the prognosis. The purpose of this study was to re-evaluate these classifications in the Japanese population. We selected the following three classifications, based on the procedural simplicity of the measurements: maximum diameter (maximum diameter of the largest tumor lesion in the SLN; <0.1, 0.1-1.0, >1.0 mm), invasion depth (depth of tumor invasion measured from the capsule in the SLN; SI ≤ 0.3 mm, SII >0.3 to ≤ 1.0 mm, SIII >1.0 mm), and microanatomic location (microanatomic location of the tumor deposits within the SLN; "subcapsular", "parenchymal", "combined", "multifocal", "extensive"). A retrospective study, using prescribed survey forms, was carried out. Among the 450 patients, including the 149 cases with SLN metastasis, an additional lymph node positivity rate of 0% could be predicted only in patients with a maximum diameter category of less than 0.1 mm. As compared with that in the SLN metastasis-negative cases, however, the prognosis was poorer in cases with SLN metastasis, even those with lesions falling under the maximum diameter category of less than 0.1 mm, invasion depth category of SI (≤ 0.3 mm) and microanatomic location category of subcapsular. The prognosis is particularly poor for the microanatomic location category of extensive, which should thus be regarded as a macrometastasis. A prospective study with standardized procedures, including pathological evaluation, is needed in order to confirm our conclusion.The Journal of Dermatology 09/2011; 39(2):130-7.

ABSTRACT: Patients with primary cutaneous melanoma underwent sentinel node (SN) mapping and biopsy at 25 facilities in Japan by the combination of radiocolloid with gamma probe and dye. Technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-tin colloid, (99m)Tc-phytate, 2% patent blue violet (PBV) and 0.4% indigo carmine were used as tracers. In some hospitals, 0.5% fluorescent indocyanine green, which allows visualization of the SN with an infrared camera, was concomitantly used and examined. A total of 673 patients were enrolled, and 562 cases were eligible. The detection rates of SN were 95.5% (147/154) with the combination of tin colloid and PBV, 98.9% (368/372) with the combination of phytate and PBV, and 97.2% (35/36) with the combination of tin colloid or phytate and indigo carmine. SN was not detected in 12 cases by the combination method, and the primary tumor was in the head and neck in six of those 12 cases. In eight of 526 cases (1.5%), SN was detected by PBV but not by radiocolloid. There were 13 cases (2.5%) in which SN was detected by radiocolloid but not by PBV. In 18 of 36 cases (50%), SN was detected by radiocolloid but not by indigo carmine. Concomitantly used fluorescent indocyanine green detected SN in all of 67 cases. Interference with transcutaneous oximetry by PVB was observed in some cases, although it caused no clinical trouble. Allergic reactions were not reported with any of the tracers. (99m)Tc-tin colloid, (99m)Tc-phytate, PBV and indocyanine green are useful tracers for SN mapping.The Journal of Dermatology 09/2011; 39(4):336-8.

Article: Key points in dermoscopic diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma and seborrheic keratosis in Japanese
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and seborrheic keratosis (SK) are representative pigmented skin tumors, and they are differentiated as non-melanocytic lesions in the two-step dermoscopy algorithm proposed by the Consensus Net Meeting on Dermoscopy. Because most BCC in Japanese patients are pigmented clinically, dermoscopy plays an important role in their differential diagnosis. The dermoscopic criteria for BCC include the lack of a pigment network and the presence of at least one positive feature for BCC, such as large blue-gray ovoid nests, multiple blue-gray globules, leaf-like areas, spoke wheel areas, arborizing vessels and ulceration. Whereas various dermoscopic features are seen in SK, comedo-like openings, milia-like cysts, and fissures and ridges are especially important features. It is necessary for clinicians to consider the pathological conditions causing the dermoscopic features of BCC and SK. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of each feature should be taken into consideration to ensure an accurate dermoscopic diagnosis.The Journal of Dermatology 01/2011; 38(1):59-65.

Flimsy Junk Don't waste your money on this garbage. One of the two chairs was difficult to put together because the plastic pieces were not formed correctly during manufacturing. The other chair, which went together easier, had one of the arms break within a few weeks of use. The plastic split right and the arm flops uselessly. I'm going to take both of these to Goodwill and go get something better for my office.

How to Adjust the Height of an Office Chair
There are different styles and designs of computer or office chairs. Most new models are adjusted pneumatically. Pneumatic office chairs have a lever or a button below the seat that you can push or pull to adjust the height. Older computer chair models can be adjusted by turning a thick bolt (these bolts usually have a thick plastic molded cover with finger grips). Adjusting the height of your office chair to fit your body type is very important. Back ache and pinched nerves can occur otherwise -- especially after long periods of sitting.

text: Mother Dolores Hart was a well-known and successful film, stage and television actress when, in 1963, she abandoned her career to become a cloistered Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Connecticut. She twice appeared opposite Elvis Presley, in Loving You (1957) and King Creole (1958); with movie legends Anna Magnani and Anthony Quinn in Wild is the Wind (1957); Montgomery Clift, Myrna Loy and Robert Ryan in Lonelyhearts (1958); and starred in the teen classic Where the Boys Are (1960). She portrayed St. Clare in Francis of Assisi (1961), and co-starred with Stephen Boyde in Lisa (1962). Today, Mother Dolores is one of 40 women of diverse backgrounds at the Abbey of Regina Laudis, where she has worked on its farm, has been both its baker and carpenter, and is now its prioress. She sings in the Abbey choir, which released its third Women in Chant CD last year, and serves as artistic director for The Gary - The Olivia Theater on the Abbey grounds. She holds two honorary degrees, from Fairfield University in Connecticut and Loyola-Marymount University in California, as well as the Gaudium Award of the Breukelein Institute.

I ordered this intake for my 2012 EcoBoost last week from these guys. Order was charged in 1 day and they promptly contacted me to inform me that the intake would be completed in production this week. Can't wait to get it and install it on my truck!
Pros: Looked at a bunch of online aFe dealers and decided to order it from here because these guys have the lowest price and they were recommended on the forum I frequent.

Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Scientific Name: | Cyprinus yilongensis |
Species Authority: | Yang et al., 1977 |
Taxonomic Notes: |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Extinct ver 3.1 | ||||||
Year Published: | 2011 | ||||||
Date Assessed: | 2011-01-21 | ||||||
Assessor(s): | Zhou, W. | ||||||
Reviewer(s): | Allen, D.J., Zhao, H., Cui, K. & Chen, X.-Y. | ||||||
Justification: Considered to have gone extinct as Yilong Lake dried up as a result of water abstraction for agriculture in the 1981. The species was surveyed for in 1983 and 1984, but was not found, and recent surveys by the Kunming Institute of Technology have also not found the species (W. Zhou pers. comm, 2011). No live specimens exist in captivity. |
History: |
Range Description: | The species is only known from Yilong Lake, Yunnan, southern China. The species was first described in 1977, from specimens collected in 1963-4. |
Countries: | Regionally extinct: China (Yunnan) |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | The species is thought to be extinct. The lake was surveyed in 1983-84 (W. Zhou pers. comm. 2011), and the species was not recorded. Recent surveys by the Kunming Institute of Technology have also not found the species (W. Zhou pers. comm, 2011). No live specimens exist in captivity. |
Habitat and Ecology: | Previously recorded from a lake. |
Systems: | Freshwater |
Use and Trade: | The species was utilised in fisheries. |
Major Threat(s): | Overfishing depleted populations of the species. The water level of the lake declined since the 1950s. In 1981 the lake completely dried up (for about 20 days) as a result of water abstraction for agriculture. The lake is also polluted by increased organic pollution caused by sedimentation from the surrounding catchment. Urbanisation and pollution from agriculture are also threats. |
Conservation Actions: | No conservation actions are in place. |

My translation of Barlaam and Josaphat, just released from Penguin Classics
Gui de Cambrai's Barlaam and Josaphat is one of many medieval versions of the life of Saint Josaphat and his teacher, Saint Barlaam. The story appeared in Latin in the eleventh century and was subsequently translated into virtually every European vernacular language. Gui de Cambrai translates his Barlaam and Josaphat from a Latin source into Old French verse; my translation brings the Old French version into modern English prose.
The early part of the story has long been recognized as a retelling of the life of the Buddha: a young prince is raised in isolation from the world because his father fears he will renounce the secular world to become an ascetic, as foretold by astrologers; the prince subsequently discovers illness, old age, and death, and chooses to renounce worldly pleasures and comforts in order to seek a spiritual reward. The Introduction to this volume, written by Donald S. Lopez, Jr., briefly explores the resemblances between the stories of Josaphat and the Buddha.
Gui's Barlaam and Josaphat includes two unique additions to the story of the Christian prince. In most versions, after the pagan King Avenir divides his kingdom and gives half to his Christian son, Josaphat, the king sees the prosperity of his son's domain, realizes his error, and converts to Christianity. In Gui de Cambrai's version, the king sees the prosperity of his son's kingdom, understands that Josaphat has converted all his people and many of King Avenir's own, and resolves to take back the part of his land that he gave to his son. Avenir goes to war against Josaphat, and the story of the war between Josaphat's Christians and King Avenir's pagan Saracens clearly draws on the conventions of Old French epics, or chansons de geste, and on Crusade rhetoric.
Gui de Cambrai's Barlaam and Josaphat also includes a debate between personifications of Josaphat's body and soul. Gui imitates another popular literary genre, the dialogue that pits the appetites of the body against the spiritual desires of the soul. Gui's version is a lively exchange between a whining, complaining body and a strict and unforgiving soul. It allows the narrator to reiterate in a sometimes humorous key the dangers that worldly pleasures pose to spiritual rewards, and to emphasize the values of renunciation that are promoted throughout the story.
Gui's version of the story includes the many parables that Barlaam uses to teach his pupil, Josaphat (including the story of the four caskets, later used by Shakespeare), and lively accounts of King Avenir's attempts to subvert his son's Christian faith. As a Christianized version of the story of the Buddha, transmitted through Arabic into Georgian, Greek, and Latin, it is an essential source for understanding early connections among the world's most popular religions.

I've got a bit of a headache today, but I wanted to watch one of my Craftsy classes. I didn't feel like sitting in front of the computer or watching it on my iPad mini, so I decided to see how it looked if I used the AirPlay feature (in the Craftsy App on my iPad to send the stream to my AppleTV for playback) and watched it on my much larger TV. It actually looks really good on the TV. Best of all, I can lay on my couch and watch it. Awesome! Now I just need the stupid headache to go away...
------it doesn't matter what type of sewing you do. you are sewing, and sewing is good.
You just stirred up my quiet want for an apple tv, it just got really loud, thanks a lot! I have a mac mini, an ipad, and a nice tv and if they would all play really well together while I lie on my cushy couch I would be in techno heaven. I have about $100 reward credit earned on my visa right now, that is my play money. Yeah, we know how much the apple tv costs too.
------Liz thefittinglife.blogspot.com
If you have a current game system connected to you tv you can access the internet also. If I did Crafty could watch it through my tv connected to my Playstation. Of course provided you have a wifi connection in your house. -- Edited on 7/31/13 2:38 PM --
LOL. I use my AppleTV a lot. My DH uses it more to stream his iTunes library from his PC, and I stream mine from my Mac mini. My primary use is for streaming video. AirPlay is super nice. Sure, I could plug my laptop directly in to my tv too, but I like that I can be wireless. :)
No game system but I have an old Roku for Netflix and love that simplicity, but it's only good for Netflix. Plus the old Roku does the 720p while my tv can do 1080p. Although I doubt my mid range dsl internet could keep up, lol. I can mirror my mac mini onto the tv screen via an hdmi cable but I have to use the mouse to stop or start things. Plus every time I want to watch something from the computer I have to set it up and un-set it up so DH doesn't get confused when he wants to use something. I just want to lie on the couch and press the remote!
I hope your headache goes away soon!

I got it three or four years ago. I don't see a date, just macmini4,1. I'm curious why you ask?
Thanks :) I'm feeling a lot better now, but I still have a headache. Ugh! I watched 3 Craftsy classes that I had been meaning to watch, so I am a happy camper.

UCL Art Museum Film Club: Mr Turner
- Film, Media & Entertainment
- Wilkins Building, University College London, London
Life and Death Drawing: ExpressionUCL Art MuseumSaturday, 25 January 2014 from 14:00 to 17:00 (GMT) |
Artists and scientists take a variety of approaches to drawing the human face and its ability to express emotion. They work from live models, from works of art, from anatomical or skeletal models or from specimens. In the Life and Death Drawing workshop, we question how the nature of the model affects the practice of drawing and the understanding of drawings itself.
Join us to practice your drawing skills by sketching from a life model, from anatomical models and from other works of art in this afternoon workshop facilitated by Dr Chiara Ambrosio, Lecturer in History and Philosophy of Science, Dr Carole Reeves, Senior Lecturer in Science & Technology Studies, and Mat Paskins, Teaching Fellow, Science & Technology Studies.
Over 10,000 works of art make up the collections of UCL Art Museum, from the 1500s to the present day.
Works separated by centuries are linked by a desire to experiment with new materials, theories, and reproduction techniques in order to produce new meanings, share ideas and inspire.
Since the museum has its origins as a teaching and research collection tied to the history of the Slade School of Fine Arts, the collections present a unique archive of art education. Alongside outstanding examples of works by old masters such as Dürer, Rembrandt, Van Dyck and Turner, the Museum holds examples of early works by pioneering artists of the 20th century such as Gwen John, Dora Carrington, Winifred Knights, Stanley Spencer, Augustus John, Ithel Colquhoun, Diana Cumming, Euan Uglo, Paula Rego, Anna Maria Pacheco all former Slade Students, as well as works by Slade Professors such as Henry Tonks and William Coldstream.

How can I know what sizes a Medium or a large size is? Do you have a size chart?
The shape of the blouse is perfect. The detail work is very pretty. I like it very much. The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was that it looks a bit longer in the photo than it fit on myself. I am tall, so I often have this problem. With a cami under it, it looks very nice though. It is a touch snug also but nothing unbearable.

Really liked it Great top, really liked it and the quality, the only problem I had was that it said XL and it is a very small XL. It fit someone who normally takes a small to medium shirt size. That is the only problem, everything else was perfect.

Too Short Nice blouse, but shorter than it appears on the model. I ordered a large (so that I would have shrink room after washing) and it was a little tight in the shoulders and definitely too short even before washing. If I raised my arms it left me belly exposed. I had to wear an undershirt to avoid exposing my midsection. I am 5'6", 140 lbs and usually wear a medium in department store tops. So, if you are a petite person it would be fine for you.

How to Care for Amber Jewelry
Amber is an attractive but delicate ornament. Popular for its deep golden color and natural patterns, amber decorates both antique and modern jewelry, from beaded necklaces to rings and earrings. Handmade amber jewelry from places like Poland, Thailand and India lends an eclectic look to any outfit. This jewelry requires special care, as amber is soft and can be easily damaged by even mild chemicals. If exposed to sudden changes in temperature, amber can crack or even break. For these reasons, care should be taken to protect amber jewelry when wearing, cleaning and storing it. With proper care, your beautiful jewelry will last a lifetime.

We had spent every weekend for two months getting ready for our oldest son Sean's high school graduation party. The only job left was to paint the entry hallway, which was extremely battered from many years of teenage boys' shoes, backpacks and sports equipment. Unfortunately, nine days before the party, my husband's company called him out of town for a whole week. Worst of all, he was going to have to work right through Father's Day weekend! He was upset about not spending Father's Day with his family, but I think he was even more disappointed that about 100 party guests would be parading through that ratty hallway.
I thought I would surprise him and paint the hallway walls myself. A couple of weeks earlier, my husband had used a Wagner paint sprayer to refinish our deck. He mentioned more than once how easy it was to use and what a nice job it did, so I thought I'd give it a try. I enlisted the services of my youngest son, Adam, to help tape off the room but told him he didn't have to do any painting. He grumbled but consented.
I'd never run a paint sprayer before, but the directions for the FLEXiO 590 were simple and straightforward. The guy at the paint store told me I would have to thin the paint, but it turns out I didn't. I practiced a bit in the garage on a big piece of cardboard. It only took a few swipes back and forth before I had enough confidence to move indoors. My husband was right; the sprayer worked great. It was light and quiet and didn't fill the whole room up with a paint fog (which was my biggest fear). The most amazing thing was that Adam thought it was so cool that he wanted to give it a shot. I felt a little bit like Tom Sawyer, but how often do teenage boys volunteer to help out with anything? He really got into it and ended up finishing the job!
Cleaning the sprayer was a piece of cake. I think I spent less time than I would have cleaning a few brushes. I was even able to get it back in the case without a cord hanging out the side. I emailed my husband a photo of Adam spraying the walls. He said it was the best Father's Day gift he'd ever received, and I'm pretty sure he meant it.
— Rosanne Petersen, wife of contributing editor Mark Petersen
I bought an older Wagner spray paint unit that was sooo noisy I was embarassed by using it.%0d%0aHow noisy is this version?%0d%0aCan the noise be controlled?
I have two earlier Wagner models like the new sprayer shown. I tried spraying doors and cabinets with latex paint thinned and unthinned. Both gave disappointing results. A foam roller and a good brush gave better and faster results. So I'm skeptical that this model is any better. The only Wagner sprayer that I use is the power roller that pumps paint directly from the can thru a long clear hose to the roller. A button on the handle of the roller controls the on/off and a speed setting at the pump base controls the speed of the paint flow. A time saver for big jobs especially if painting from a ladder. I use this one often and have had it for many years. I hope the new model performs better than earlier models.
nice one

Exactly. If your department has that kind of money, please tell them to send some of it to my department. We will be more than happy to take it. We don't even have enough radios and pagers for active interior members let alone juniors.
Printable View
Ok. Thanks. I will ask the commanding officer tomorrow if I'll respond because 15 year olds can that I was told. Were trained on hydrants,ladders,etc..
I have an honest question,can you use a SCBA tank w/ mask with contacts?
YOU CAN'T. It is against child labor laws.
Get your hot popcorn here. Cold beer here and for our younger crowd - grape lolipop.
Well, I mean, if he doesn't have a pager how will he know when his table is ready?
I wouldn't, the negative pressure created by the positive pressure may just slide those contacts up and over your eyeballs. This could sever your optic nerves, rendering you blind.
Don't let these guys bully you little bro. Get that pager, listen to the various calls. Picture where each incident is. When you're ready, and old enough, you will be able to respond. It's not your fault that your department most likely got a SAFER grant and purchased too many pagers. It's not your fault that some white shirt decided to give them to everyone.
So accept the pager, throw ladders, open hydrants, roll hose, clean under the running boards, you can do this!!
Whats with the age requirement anyway? They should lower that standard, volunteers need all the help they can get, even if it's just a 15 year old.
They make eye glass kits for scba mask that work very well.
Do they make them for guys who can't wear scba's?
Okay let's recap this train wreck...
junior22 comes on and asks which pager he should take as a 14 year old junior firefighter.
First he says he won't be responding.
Then he says at 15 he says he can respond.
Then he asks about contacts and scba.
Yeah, whatever...
I want to apologize to you.
Whether I believe your story or not is irrelevant I was unnecessarily rude to you.
Good luck in your career in the fire service.
junior22 I have a question- when you are allowed to respond at 15, will you have a blue light on your bicycle, and if so, what kind??
You cannot respond to the station with a bicycle. You can respond at 14 with caution though. It all complys with the child labor laws,that's why we get pagers.
It was something like they don't advise you to,but you may. Our rules our like this. http://upperleacockfire.org/documents/sog/Ch.17.pdf
This fire department allows junior firefighters (who are specifically prohibited from interior ops) to run blue lights.
That is all.

The citizens of North Carolina have been experiencing the tug of war over payday lending in North Carolina. In a recent turnaround, the state became an anti-cash loan lending state a few short years after approving legislation that allowed cash loan lending in North Carolina. North Carolina is working to strengthen any weaknesses in their current legislation against payday lending. Despite all this activity, we have cash loan products available in North Carolina for you.
Laws in North Carolina regarding Cash Loan Lending
North Carolina has had an ongoing battle for and against payday lending since 1997 when legislation was approved and passed for allowing payday lending in the state. After this payday legislation expired in the year 2001, it became illegal to conduct payday lending in North Carolina. The fight continues as the state is interested in keeping the law. As of 2005, North Carolina citizens have been getting offers of cash loans from out of state payday lenders. In a move that made many people who are against cash loan lenders in North Carolina felt was a victory, one lending company, Advance America, was ordered by Commissioner Joseph A. Smith Jr. to immediately stop the practices of lending in the state of North Carolina.
There are no payday lenders working legally in the state of North Carolina.
North Carolina Unemployment Statistics
The unemployment rate in North Carolina in January 2006 was 4.8, which means that 206,446 people were unemployed at that time. In January 2005, the unemployment rate was 5.7. Over the past ten years, the unemployment rate has not risen above 7.5, or fallen below 2.9.

Emily and I were at the Chicago Seminars this weekend and loved meeting everyone who attended the conference and folks who stopped by the Million Mile Secrets table!
This was the 4th Chicago Seminars and Brian, Rick & Howie did a great job organizing the event.
And two weeks ago, we were at Frequent Traveler University in Tampa.
Here's the "Introduction to Miles & Points" presentation which Mommy Points and I presented at the Chicago Seminars. It covers important topics such as setting goals and limits for yourself before you start collecting miles and points.
And here's the "How to Book Rental Cars for Less" which Rapid Travel Chai and I presented. This is very similar to the presentation which we gave two weeks ago at Frequent Traveler University in Tampa.
If you've been collecting miles and points for more than a few years, I wouldn't attend a miles & points conference solely to learn something new (you might learn a new trick or two), but to meet other folks who won't roll their eyes when you talk miles and points (and share something new with you).
In my experience, the connections and conversations together with the presentations are what makes miles and points seminars great!
The Chicago Seminars will be held again in October 2014, and you can count on a few Frequent Traveler University events in 2014 as well!

We are massive craft fans in our house (as our spare room will testify!) I've always allowed my girls to use materials that they find around the house and encourage them to be as creative as possible. On the whole, they are fantastic at coming up with ideas and love making projects.
There are times though when they need a little stimulation or a project to work on. I'm very conscious that having Tara at home with me until she starts school, she needs a wide variety of toys and crafts to play with.
We were recently invited to review the Interplay Fairy Garden Craft set suitable for ages 4+. I thought at least one of my girls would enjoy it – I am so lucky that all 3 love making and creating.
All 3 girls were suitably interested when the Fairy Garden arrived – Violet did lose interest though when she found out we had to actually go and get our own soil from the garden.
So … into the garden we went. A sunny (if a little blustery) day was just the job to get Tara, Me & Nanna out into the garden. We collected the soil from the borders in a matter of seconds – then spent a while choosing the perfect pebbles that we wanted to put in the garden. You don't have to include pebbles but by now we were well into it!
The whole point of the Fairy Garden is to plant the grass seeds and wait a week for the grass to grow. There was no way Tara at 4 was up for this waiting but she was more than happy with our cheat plants that we inserted in the meantime. (as you can tell from the picture)
There are loads of parts to the Fairy Garden and you can put as many or as few as you like in it. As you can see from the completed Fairy Garden above, we went the whole hog and put everything in. We even sprinkled the little glittery stars in the Fairy's water bath to attract more fairies. The washing is a little bit fiddly but very cute as are the toadstools.
Tara could be really hands on with this toy – there were no sharp edges. The actual bowl is silicone so it really didn't matter if she dropped it. We do recommend making the Fairy Garden outside just in case soil spills but if its a rainy day, its not the messiest craft activity ever anyway. There are lots of little pieces – like the glittery stars and the teeny pebbles for the footpath but these add to the charm for a 4 year old. The picture below is Tara actually laying the pebble path to the Fairy house. The Fairy house was the only bit we had trouble with – Made out of foam, it blows away if the wind even thinks about blowing. We did laugh as it blew about the garden on more than one occasion! We ended up weighing it down with a big stone through the window to solve the problem.
We love our Fairy Garden – the grass is starting to grow. Its definitely more suitable for younger children – especially those that like to get stuck in building it. We have a Fairy door at the bottom of the tree in our garden – I like to think now the Fairies have their own garden to play in!
Disclosure: We were sent an Interplay Fairy Garden for the purpose of this review. RRP £14.99

The terms of Duke Energy's counter-offer to Jackson County and the town of Franklin in exchange for dropping their opposition to Dillsboro dam removal have been made public.
Duke Energy made a confidential offer to their opponents two weeks ago in hopes of staving off a move by Jackson to use eminent domain to seize the dam. Jackson County commissioners voted 4 to 1 last week to turn down the offer. The Franklin town board followed suit this week with a unanimous vote to reject Duke's offer.
Franklin Alderman Bob Scott made the terms of the offer public. Once the town board voted on the offer, it became a public record, he said. Scott also believes the residents of Franklin have a right to know what the town board voted to accept or reject on their behalf.
"The public body exists for one reason only and that's to conduct the public's business," Scott said. Furthermore, Duke is a public utility operating as a monopoly in the region and should answer to the public as well.
Here is what Duke has offered Jackson County in exchange for dropping their opposition to dam removal:
• Pay $150,000 to help create a river park along the Tuckasegee River in Dillsboro.
• Provide 200 hours by a Duke staffer to write grants to assist with the river park.
• Pay $75,000 to help Jackson County with the upkeep and management of a boat launch Duke already has plans to build along the Tuck, but will be turning over to the county for maintenance.
• Agree not to seek damages or attorney fees against Jackson County for holding up permits Duke needed to dredge sediment behind the dam. Duke had to go to court to get the permits.
• Speeding up payment of $350,000 for recreational amenities on the Tuckasegee and Lake Glenville that had been already promised. Duke had previously pledged to pay the mitigation sum within 15 years, but would speed it up to five. Duke similarly offered to speed up the already-promised sum of $40,000 for sediment control initiatives.
Here is what Duke had offered Franklin:
• Pay $10,000 for additional amenities at a recreation area on Lake Emory. Duke plans already call for a boat put-in and picnic tables.
In exchange, Duke wanted Jackson and the town of Franklin to drop all legal and public opposition, including challenging Duke in the news media. The offer also was contingent on the majority of terms remaining confidential.
Franklin leaders claim Duke has shortchanged their residents in the way of mitigation for the utility's dam and powerhouse the Little Tennessee River at Lake Emory. Removing the Dillsboro dam was supposed to count as mitigation credits for Duke's hydro operation at Lake Emory, but Franklin leaders fail to see the benefit of dam removal in Dillsboro to their residents in Franklin and want to see more direct benefits, primarily around Lake Emory.

Scottish Premier League: Dundee United 3 Kilmarnock 3
By Football News
Dundee United captain John Daly netted a stoppage-time goal as his side came from behind to salvage a 3-3 draw with Kilmarnock on Friday.
Daly headed home the leveller in the 92nd minute, sending fans into raptures at Tannadice Park.
Kilmarnock had taken an early lead through Cillian Sheridan, with the former Celtic striker hitting the back of the net with 30-yard free-kick on nine minutes.
Sheridan doubled the guests' advantage after 30 minutes, sending the ball past helpless goalkeeper Radoslaw Cierzniak.
United reduced the deficit three minutes into the second half through Gary Mackay-Steven, who made his first start since August, but Paul Heffernan restored Kilmarnock's two-goal advantage just three minutes later.
Daly gave Peter Houston's men hope with a 56th-minute goal, nodding home Barry Douglas' delightful cross.
Sheridan thought he had bagged a hat-trick but his 77th-minute goal was ruled out for offside.
That decision would come back to haunt Kilmarnock as Daly completed United's comeback with a diving header from another Douglas cross.
