Cleaning question
How often do ya'll clean your guns? Do you clean every time you use it, or only after you've fired a certain number of rounds? I have a new XDM .45 that I want to take good care of, but I must admit that field stripping it (for me) takes some doing (those springs are strong!!) I'm getting better at it, but if I don't need to clean it after I shoot ten or twenty rounds, that would be nice! But I will if I should. Thanks, guys.

you are gonna' get a lot of different answers...
I have always cleaned my guns after firing them...always.
Just believe that letting one sit after firing just cannot be a good thing. IMHO.... Pud

I clean mine after every trip to the range. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing I left my gun sitting dirty overnight. It's just what I do.

When you fire the gun the hot gases burn up all the oil in the barrel. So at least you have to replace the oil. Otherwise the barrel may rust.Dirt and sweat may remove oil from the outside .So clean it after every use ,at least a light cleaning and oiling !
And Watson , bring your revolver ! |

With an XD you don't have to clean it for a very long time. (just kidding) Clean it every time you shoot it if there is any possibility that it is going to sit around dirty for more than a few days. Is this a defensive gun or a range toy?

What is the 'oiling' you mention? I got the KleenBore handgun cleaning kit. Am I supposed to be oiling my gun, too?

I clean/lube mine after about every three range trips for my regularly used pistols. If there is one I use infrequently then I clean/lube it after each range trip. I try to go to the range at least once a month. I use quality American made ammo.
I use grease to lube slide rails and exterior of the barrel on my SIGs so it does not run off or dry out after a single range trip. My poly pistols such as my Walther PPQ, Glock 19, or SIG SP2022 I use a quality lube and that lasts quite a while - easily three range sessions. I do however wipe the exterior metal of my pistols with a light coat of Breakfree CLP even if I am not doing a field strip cleaning before putting it away. Before a trip to the range I do a quick check on lube conditions of my pistols whether they were cleaned last time or not. Last edited by sigarms228; March 6, 2013 at 10:00 PM. |

The KleenBore says that it cleans, lubricates, and prevents rust. Do I have to do something else?

Many of us learned about cleaning firearms from our Dads or Granddads -- and they learned from the US military, during WWII. Back then, the powder used was corrosive, and if you didn't clean the weapon rigorously (at least in some climates), the action could rust shut pretty quickly. That is no longer the case. Nowadays, if one of my guns seems extra dirty, I'll wipe out the chamber with a bore-cleaning pad after a range session, and then run a bore snake down the barrel a time or two, using CLP. Then I'll put the gun away. My guns won't look all that different from one that's been detail-stripped and given given a bath... Clean if you want to, but I've heard more than one gunsmith say that he's seen more damage from too-intense and too-frequent cleaning than from a lack of it. |

What you're going to get is a split between the folk who believe a firearm should "never be put away dirty" and those who don't.
Personally, I'm firmly in the camp that believes a gun can go a long time between cleanings without harm to the gun's function, accuracy, or value. My XD45 is cleaned whenever I want to clean it. That's generally about twice a year and several hundred to a thousand rounds between cleanings. Sometimes it's closer to once a year. I clean with Ed's Red and use Breakfree LP to lube it.

I guess there's no one right answer, but I appreciate all the responses!
I think it's good for me to practice field-stripping the gun so I feel comfortable with it, so when I do I'll take a peek in and see if I could write "clean me" in the barrel... |

One manufacturer recommends cleaning their guns:
When new. After shooting. Monthly. As needed. The recommendation probably relates primarily to guns that are actually being carried. My carry guns get cleaned every time they are shot and periodically even when not shot based on my assessment of their need for it. My "range toys' may not get cleaned after shooting if they've only had a few rounds through them--especially if I intend to have them back to the range for another relatively light session in the very near future. Blued steel guns would get more frequent attention. Stainless guns and guns with very sturdy finishes can tolerate a good deal more inattention without any fear of damage.
Did you know that there is a TEXAS State Rifle Association?

I clean before and after I fire. During barrel break in, I clean every few shots. After break in, a cleaning for every box of ammo fired will suffice (I still clean before AND after firing no matter what)

I'm one of those guys that can't put a gun away that's dirty. I clean it every time even though it probably doesn't need it. Big difference between a defensive firearm and one that you keep in a safe and take to the range. It would also depend on how much you shoot during the range trip and the type of firearm. The XD is probably similar to a Glock in that it doesn't require as much attention in the lube department, (biggest complaint from Glock is too much lubrication, whereas a Sig is the opposite.) 1911s are higher maintenance firearms and the 10-8 site only list cleaning every 250-500 rounds.

I clean my gun after each use, but i'm not as neurotic as some. It may be a few days before I get to clean it, especially if its a safe gun as opposed to an EDC gun.

Brownells.com gun care...
I would read over the S-A owners manual, use any gun oil or CLP in small amounts. Lots of gun oil or grease will cause problems in any semi auto.
It's a common problem for pistolsmiths & law enforcement armorers who see 100s of pistols each year. Get some CLP like Gunzilla, LPX, Slip2000 or Weaponshield. Ballistol is non toxic & CFC free. It has a light pine scent too. Hoppes #9 & Birchwood Casey Synthetic Gun Cleaner are worth checking too. Check & clean your firearms often. BoreSnake Vipers are handy for quick barrel cleaning.

Our bodies have an amazing capacity to detoxify, but with increased exposure to hazards in our envir...
Making your own natural cleaners is a smart option for savvy-savers.
Two goals of the green movement are reducing waste and finding ways to produce clean, efficient energy. If a product can accomplish one of these tasks, it's a good one. But what about one that does both simultaneously? Well, that would be a real gem.
To be more specific, it would be a GEM3T120.
This revolutionary waste-to-energy conversion system transforms trash in the form of paper, plastic, food, wood and agricultural waste into clean energy. The GEM eliminates 95 percent of waste (5 percent turns into "innocuous ash" according to the IST Energy website), and can process up to three tons daily. According to a recent press release from IST Energy, the manufacturers of the GEM, one system could produce enough energy "to power and heat a 200,000-square-foot building housing more than 500 people." For a machine that is roughly the size of a Dumpster—8 feet tall, taking up about the same space as three parking spots—that's impressive.
So how does this miracle machine work?
Waste is fed into the GEM and eventually converted into fuel pellets. These pellets are then gasified (not burned), which creates synthetic gas to power the generator, which in turn produces electricity.
Are there any negative side effects?
According to the same press release, "the GEM is eco-friendly and carbon negative, significantly diminishing greenhouse gases by 540 tons annually. The GEM also powers itself with the clean energy it produces, supplying users with a self-sustaining alternative energy source."
Where can I sign up?
Unfortunately, the GEM is not for individual use. It was created for sites that produce at least two tons of trash daily. This system is ideal for universities, office buildings, large apartment complexes, malls and hospitals. It also has an expensive ($850,000) price tag, but IST Energy asserts that it will pay for itself in three to four years.
So even though you can't have one of your very own (yet), you can advocate for one to be installed at your office or apartment complex, or even your university. Just tell them what a gem it is.
For more info, visit the IST Energy website.

Paul and I made it up there today. We added a pin and made the anchor really nice (All together there is a total of 6 pieces of fixed gear). The summit rock is super sugary. It looks like there were some attempts to free the route since the first ascent....and those attempts will now be a little harder. After the nice edge between the second and third bolt there used to be a really nice knob to grab, well after my fat butt stood on it for about 20 seconds it decided it needed to break off and is no more. It does not add a lot of difficulty, but anyone trying to lead this thing will find it headier than it already is. I was not able to free it, but was able to French free through the whole tower. I would still recommend bringing at least a 2 foot runner to stand in for clipping the 3rd bolt. Aiders are not mandatory but would be helpful unless you have wings. All in all a fun route and an amazing view. |

Cashew Fig cookies
July 24, 2010
Makes 1 dozen cookies I had soaked cashews looking for a home and chocolate craving that won't go away…
1 cup soaked cashews
10 soaked figs
1 cup dried coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon heaping raw cocoa
Combine all ingredients in food processor with a bit of water to make dough. Shape into cookies and place on dehydrator: I used a mesh sheet
Dehydrate at 115 until crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. I have no idea how long. I just invented this and put them in I will let you know if anyone is interested.

These aren't that sweet, so if you want a breakfast bar or just something to snack on, these are great. I'm going to try making them with a little agave or raisin so they taste more like a cookie.

Taglines: ...With God, all things are possible...
Never give up. Never back down. Never lose faith. Plot Outline Grant Taylor is the head coach of the Shiloh Eagles football team at a Christian high school. He has not lead the team to a championship in six years. His entire life seems to be a failure and finally he crashes. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team, for his life and his family life. Acting All of the cast are Christian and church members. It seems they were highly trained just for the movie. The viewer gets into the movie as if the viewer was living the struggles and successes of the actors. Entertainment Value From the beginning to the end, the movie and its characters capture the viewer's attention. The situations that the movie present are daily struggles that anybody can be facing. Sound All the sounds and the music greatly help to set the mood to the audience. The main song "The Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns adapts to the whole movie well and gives it the final touch. Twist and Flow of Story The flow of the story was perfectly followed throughout. The viewer is able to follow what goes next. Everything that happens flows with the story without loosing the string. The story has a drastic twist from half-way thru and until the end, showing how the life of a person changes from being the greatest looser to being the greatest winner with the help of God; and how that one life changed can help the life of others and make them winners as well. Final Thoughts I highly recommend this movie to all the family. It is a very powerful, touching and very familiar movie. It relates with the everyday struggles that we face when facing out own everyday giants. Official website can be found at www.facingthegiants.com.

Regular exercise and physical activity can minimize deconditioning and assist individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) to maintain function at optimal levels. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of physical activity to social, mental and physical health and well-being in persons with MS. A convenience sample of 37 persons with MS completed the Human Activity Profile and the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form Health Survey (SF36). Activity levels in persons with MS were much lower than norms reported for other groups of healthy adults and adults with a variety of chronic conditions. Higher activity scores were associated with higher scores on the measures of physical functioning and general health. The subgroup of persons who reported engaging in regular exercise had significantly higher scores on the measure of physical functioning than those who did not exercise. Additional research is needed to investigate barriers and facilitators of physical activity for persons with MS and whether increasing activity may have synergistic effects with other therapies. |

Spring fever can lead to all kinds of impulsiveness, especially at the garden center. With hundreds - maybe thousands - of pretty plants already in bloom and aisles overflowing with new products, it's easy to get a little carried away. After a winter's worth of anticipation, it's hard to avoid walking out with too much (or too little) of what you actually need. The antidote: a few simple strategies that help you size up the inventory with the ease and confidence of a professional. All it takes is some planning and shopping savvy. Armed with these helpful tips, you can head out to your favorite nursery secure in the knowledge that when you return, you'll have exactly what you need to make your garden grow.
Know before you go
A little research and deliberation at home will help make your trip a success (and minimize stress).
1. Take stock, make a list and set a budget.
Look around your garden to note plants that are dead or damaged. See how much potting soil, fertilizer and other material you have, checking the expiration dates. Inspect tools and test them, listing items that need to be replaced or repaired. Last, decide on your budget so you can prioritize.
2. Photograph and measure containers.
Place your pots in their garden locations, and then take photographs. Print the photos, and note the diameter and the depth of each pot on the paper. This way, you'll buy the perfect plants in the right quantities. Determine how much potting soil you'll need, using an online calculator like the one at jollylane.com/greenhouse/growing-tips/soil-calculators.php.
3. Review last year's garden.
Refresh your memory with photographs you (hopefully) took when the garden was at its best. These images will remind you of lackluster plants you wanted to replace or those that should be moved, divided or added to. If you kept a journal, consult that too. Your experience will inform this year's gardening.
4. Choose hues.
Selecting a color scheme is key when making your choices, particularly for containers. Get inspiration from a famous garden or an unexpected source: a favorite outfit, a painting or a magazine.
5. Bring photos.
Most nursery staff can help you find what plant you need, but common names vary from gardener to gardener, as do people's ways of pronouncing them. If you bring in images of the plants you want, you'll get an instant identification. Magazines and catalogs are often excellent resources. You can also search online for a specific plant and print a clear image of it.
6. Make a bouquet.
As plants wither and die, they leave gaps in the border. Before you go shopping to fill those holes, cut samples of the leaves and flowers that are already established. Tie the clippings together with twine, and take the bouquet with you to the nursery. As you shop, compare your sample with the plants you're considering and make sure that your selections will work in harmony with your garden's existing colors and textures.
Make the most of your visit
It's time to shop. Grab a cart and start filling it, beginning with your highest-priority plants.
1. Assemble your grouping at the nursery.
Instead of going back and forth between plants, place the ones you like in your cart as you find them. Make part of the cart your "audition" space, arranging plants as you would in your garden border or container. Whenever you discover interesting new plants, swap them in to see which you like best.
2. Walk the whole store.
To create bodacious containers, venture beyond the annuals section. Explore the houseplants, tropicals and succulents. Look for attractive flowers, fruit, and foliage in perennials, vegetables and herbs. In the woody-plants section you may find dwarf shrubs to add just the right accents for your plantings. Remember, at the end of the season, you can move hardy plants to garden beds, and houseplants can be potted and brought indoors.
3. Try a new plant each year.
This is a great time to be a gardener, with hundreds of tempting new species and varieties available. Even if you're intimidated, increase your confidence and broaden your repertoire by purchasing at least one plant you've never tried.
4. Shop all season.
While nurseries are best-stocked in spring, they offer plants all season. Many restock with annuals in July, after earlier plantings have tired. Make a point of browsing at the nursery to become familiar with the offerings. You may even happen upon a sale.
5. Make your own mixes.
Many centers fill aisles with large pots brimming with their own colorful combinations. As pretty as they are, there is no reason to buy them (unless you want the container). Economize by finding the plants used, and make your own.

INDIALANTIC -- The body of a 60-year old pedestrian who was killed in Saturday's fiery fatal crash on State Road A1A near Paradise Beach was discovered Monday morning in a thicket of Brazilian pepper trees off the side of the highway.
The man was identified Monday afternoon as Art Stroud of Melbourne.
Stroud was struck by a speeding northbound 2010 Dodge Challenger driven by Indialantic resident Nancy Chancey, 59, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. Her car struck a culvert, went airborne, snapped a utility pole, punched a hole in a concrete wall, overturned several times and burst into ...

During the weekend, about 80 members of Missouri Task Force 1 waded, walked and wandered through the rubble left in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
On Long Island and in Freeport, N.Y., the trained first responders, most of them firefighters and medical personnel, some of them engineers or water-rescue specialists, looked for signs of life. It's the same thing the group did after the devastating Joplin tornado last year. It's what the Boone County-based rescue team did after Sept. 11, 2001, at ground zero.
The task force is one of 28 such teams based in states all across the nation. The teams are funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The groups save lives. They help communities survive and rebuild.
They are essential.
And they would face devastating cuts under the proposals put forth at various times by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
This is why elections matter.
When disasters occur, and they appear to be occurring more and more frequently, government gets to work.
"New York City taxes itself and spends the money to protect us and to have the services that will keep us going. And I know of no other city that does that. Which always annoys me when they say, 'Oh, you're a high-taxed place.' Yeah, and we get something for it."
Missouri Task Force 1, along with similar FEMA Urban Search and Rescue groups from Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, New Jersey and Maryland, are part of what those taxes pay for.
The task forces are housed in local fire district facilities, funded in part with state revenue. Some of the equipment is paid for by donations. And when disaster strikes, FEMA picks up the tab.
So when politicians such as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., suggest that the federal government can't increase FEMA's empty coffers — as he did when Joplin was most in need — taxpayers and voters should consider the devastation, the razed neighborhoods, the scores of dead and ask themselves: Isn't this what government is for?
The simplistic debate that some Republicans want to have about cutting the budget — cut here, cut everywhere (well, but not defense), cut now — too often ignores the real effect of those decisions. Rhetoric during a heated political season often isn't real.
Hurricanes are real. Wildfires are real. Tornadoes are real.
So, too, is climate change, even though neither of the presidential candidates spent much time talking about it during this election.
There will be another Sandy, another devastating fire in the west, another Joplin. There will be floods and earthquakes. We just don't know where and when.
So all of us must hope that local, state and federal disaster programs are well-funded and well-coordinated to help the victims, wherever they may be, dig out and rebuild once again. This is our nation's history, our commitment to shared sacrifice, our belief that in some ways, we are our brother's keeper.
When President Barack Obama and Gov. Jay Nixon traveled to Republican-dominated Joplin last year to bring state and national attention to the plight of southwest Missouri, they weren't Democrats; they were representatives of our government, of all of the rest of us, standing tall with Joplin in that city's time of need.
It was the same this week when Mr. Obama appeared with Gov. Chris Christie, the Republican leader in New Jersey. The two men were not political combatants; they were strong and sympathetic figures, telling people who lost everything that help was on the way.
It was, and is, and should be again.
But Congress must fund FEMA and other branches of government to ensure that's the case. Our elected officials must be careful when slashing government services, so core responsibilities can be maintained.
We say it again: Political rhetoric is cheap. Disasters aren't, not cheap in money, not cheap in lives.
For the past few years, FEMA has been fighting for the budget scraps. Our national leaders need to remedy that situation. Fast.

•NEW! ‣ - Amazon Electronic Component Packs. Check out the Amazon Electronic Component Packs page.
There was an exchange of emails asking about crystal grinding on the 'Flying Pigs' list. Karl Kanalz, W8TIF gave his insight and experience on the topic of crystal grinding and has graciously consented to it being reprinted here.
I may be an "OF" (Old Fellow), but I do know a bit about grinding crystals, both from FT-241/243 blanks as well as HC-6/U holders!
'Way back when, in nineteen-forgotten, I used a piece of PLATE glass, about 3/8 inch [10 mm] thick, I don't recommend that thin, fragile window-pane glass be used and, about 7 or 8 inches square [175 - 200 mm].
The initial abrasive I used, as did a lot of others was Bon-Ami scouring powder, but Ajax and other similar scouring powders will also work. For a finer abrasive, you can use "Soft Scrub", allegedly a "non-abrasive", but it really is - just a bit finer than the heavy-duty stuff. For still more gentle action, you can use toothpaste, not the gel stuff - get ol'-fashioned Colgate. For the really-really-really fine touch(es), get some jeweller's rouge.
Let's assume your crystal blank, from the FT-243, is about 25 to 20 kHz BELOW your desired operating frequency. It could be lower than that, and it's okay - it'll just require more
grinding on your part. I'd recommend you FIRST build a test oscillator and check the initial operating frequency of your "surplus" crystal. Jot it down on a piece of paper or your "lab notebook".
Carefully remove the screws that hold on the cover plate of the FT-243. Try not to destroy the neoprene gasket that seals the cover plate to the body of the crystal holder.
Inside, you'll see a compression spring and a, usually, brass plate that has a little "tail" that runs off to one of the crystal holder pins, provides one of the two electrical connections to the crystal blank. G-e-n-t-l-y lift up that plate, I used a sharp pointed awl, jusssssst enough that you can tip out the crystal blank from between the two brass plates, there's one on the back side of the crystal blank.
On the heavy-duty glass plate, make a thickish paste of water and some of that scouring powder. Use a pretty good glop of it, 'cause you're going to be spreading it about as you grind your "rock". Place the crystal in the scouring power paste, and using just your index and middle finger, apply gentle pressure on *diagonally opposite* corners.
Using this "grip", begin to move the crystal in a FIGURE EIGHT, NOT circular!, pattern over the glass base plate - any size "8" will do; use one that's comfortable for you, mine, as I recall, were about 3 inches or so. After about five or six "figure eights", grasp the OTHER two diagonal corners in the same fashion and continue with the figure eight pattern, same number of laps.
Now, turn the crystal blank over and grind the OPPOSITE SIDE the same number of turns, using first one pair of diagonal corners and then the other pair of corners, as described above. If you need to, add some more scouring powder / water to the mess you have on the glass plate.
The number of "figure eights" you'll need to get the rock on the desired frequency is a function of how low in frequency it is, relative to the desired operating frequency, how
hard you press down as you grind, and just how abrasive your scouring powder is. Only experimentation and years and years of doing this will give you a "feel" for the technique - of course, in the meantime, you'll become one of us Old Fellows while you're doing this!
Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you you're going to need either:
Carefully remove the quartz blank from the grinding compound and in a slow stream of cool water, thoroughly rinse off the grinding paste, you can gently apply a toothbrush to aid in this process if you want. LEAVE THE GRINDING PASTE ON THE GLASS "GRINDING PLATE" - you'll
probably need it again.
With clean fingers, hold the crystal blank *by its edges* and reassemble the blank in the FT-243 holder - just slip it in between the two brass plates. Don't forget to re-install that compression spring! Put the cover plate back on the assembly and re-install all cover
screws. Torque them down pretty well, since the amount of pressure on the crystal affects its
operating frequency.
Install the assembled FT-243 crystal in the test oscillator and measure the new operating frequency. Knowing how many figure-eight laps you did on each side will give you a rough idea of how many kilohertz you can move the crystal blank versus the "number of laps" of grinding effort.
I doubt that just a few turns will move the rock very much, but I highly recommend you begin slowly and gently until you develop a feel for how much your efforts will actually move
the frequency. Then you can be more aggressive in future "grindings".
Let's assume your FT-243 still isn't on frequency, it won't be, believe me, so disassemble the FT-243 again, see initial steps above, remove the crystal blank and grind it some more - maybe this time, 20 or 30 laps on both corners, and 20 or 30 laps of the OTHER side of the blank. Again, the blank thoroughly, reassemble the FT-243 and re-check the frequency in your test oscillator.
As it says on the medication bottle, "repeat as necessary".
Keep in mind that if you are checking the frequency in a test oscillator, the operating frequency may be slightly different from that of the ACTUAL transmitter in which the crystal
is used. I'd recommend using the "real transmitter" as your test oscillator, to avoid the differences in circuit capacitance, oscillator type, et cetera.
Using graphite (from a soft-lead pencil) will move the crystal blank frequency DOWN (grinding moves it up, of course), but you have to be v-e-r-r-r-y careful where you apply it to the crystal blank surface - that's a lesson for another time.

Very likely there is a very simple solution to this question, but I searched Maple's help pages and this forum and didn't find a solution. Probably because I don't use the correct English terms.
given two functions
(1) X := x->f1(t);
(2) Y := y->f2((t);
witth t = -infinity...infinity; f1 and f2 arbitrary functions of a parameter t
How I can get the function
Y := x->f3(x);
It is a quite trivial problem I agree. On a sheet of paper I would transform (1) into T := t->f4(x) and then substitute this function into f2, but how I can get Maple to do that.

Objective: Students work in groups to create a classroom encyclopedia of landforms and bodies of water to understand the characteristics of various physical features.
What You Need:
Suggested Time:
Building Background:
What To Do:
1. Divide students into six groups. Assign each group a physical feature. Or you may want to write the physical features on slips of paper and place them in box. Have a member of each group draw a slip of paper from the box.
2. Pass out one copy of the Creating an Encyclopedia Entry worksheet to each group. Tell students in each group that they will work together to fill out the worksheet based on the physical feature they are researching.
3. Have students use their textbook and classroom or library reference books to gather information on the physical feature. If you have Internet access, students can search these sites for information on landforms and bodies of water.
4. Once students have collected information on their physical feature, distribute construction paper, scissors and glue to each group and have them complete their entries for the encyclopedia, using their worksheets as a guide.
5. Compile each group's work and bind it into one document. Ask for volunteers to create a cover page for the encyclopedia.
Copyright © 1999 Houghton Mifflin Company. All Rights Reserved.
3 hours over a period of 2 or 3 days
Ask students to define the term physical feature. Then, on the board, list the six physical features students learned about in the unit (oceans, rivers, forests, prairies, mountains, deserts). Ask students to tell what they know about each feature and write their responses on the board. Then tell students that they will work in groups to create a classroom encyclopedia of physical features.
This site from the Missouri Botanical Garden is designed for kids and provides extensive information on and images of various physical features of land areas, shorelines and oceans in different parts of the world.
This site contains a wealth of information on deserts. Topics include desert environment and geology, animal, plants and people. The site also includes a clickable map of deserts in North America.
Have each group give a brief presentation to the class about the physical feature researched. Encourage students to discuss the characteristics of the feature and to provide examples.

Finding good indoor dogs may take a bit of research to find the one that is right for you. Breeds that don't have a high energy level, don't require a substantial amount of exercise, and are heat-sensitive do well indoors, particularly in small living quarters, such as apartments, and even without a yard.
These popular breeds make great apartment dogs: Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Pekingese, Pomeranian, and Shih Tzu.

Subscribe to Martha Stewart Livingadvertisement
- Black adhesive vinyl
- 1-inch circle craft punch
- 3/4-inch circle craft punch
- 1/2-inch circle craft punch
- Hard-boiled egg dyed any pale color
- Undiluted food coloring, any color
- Cotton swabs
- 1/8-inch hole punch
- Craft knife
- Fine-tipped permanent marker
Step 1
Cut stencils from black adhesive vinyl (for body, use a 1-inch circle punch; for ears, use a 3/4-inch punch and a strip of vinyl, for face, use a 3/4-inch punch; for tail, use a 1/2-inch punch). Adhesive vinyl is good for this craft because it adheres to the eggs well and won't let the dye seep through.
Step 2
Apply body stencil and ear stencil to a pale dyed egg. Gently rub around outline with finger to seal it fully. Dab undiluted food coloring inside stencils with a cotton swab. Let dry.
Step 3
Peel off the stencils, then carefully apply face and tail stencils. Dab with undiluted food coloring. Let dry.
Step 4
Peel off the stencils to reveal the bunny shape. Make eye stencils from vinyl using a 1/8-inch hole punch. Dab with undiluted food coloring.
Step 5
Cut a triangle stencil for the nose using a craft knife. Apply and dab with undiluted food coloring.
Step 6
Use a fine-tipped permanent marker to draw a curved mouth.

Helen Merrill's long history in jazz began with her first album on the Mercury Emarcy label arranged and produced by Quincy Jones in 1954 up to her latest CD album released in early 2000. In between were more then 50 Jazz albums and countless concerts, club dates, festivals and other jazz activities.
Ms. Merrill was born in New York City. Her parents were Croatian immigrants and her most recent recording is titled Jelena Ana Milcetic, AKA Helen Merrill tracing her musical experience. She started her career at the 845 club in the Bronx wile still in high school. The promoter at the club was noted for his ability to spot young future stars. Among these appearing with Helen at the time were Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Oscar Pettiford, and numerous others. The name on the marquee was Helen Milcetic, her name which she later changed to Merrill....
