If you ever need to paint in a tight area like behind a toilet or a radiator, this is the tip for you. Just glue a painting pad to a flat stir stick. Presto - instant thin painting brush!
It was, without a doubt, the scariest moment of my life. One recent Saturday afternoon, Chloe and Cole asked for an apple after lunch. I went into the kitchen and cut an apple into eight pieces, then gave four of them to Chloe and four of them to Cole.
With summer just around the corner, nuisance populations of Asian tiger mosquitoes are soon to follow. One of Georgia's most common mosquito pests, the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), thrives as temperatures rise.
When she first brought it up, mentioning it in passing more than anything else, I thought she was joshing so I shrugged it off with a smile. Fortunately, I did not make any wisecrack that I would now regret.
Talking about death and other end-of-life topics can be difficult, but it is extremely important.
I travel quite a bit and I go through my fair share of airport security screenings. Here's a good tip to remember if you're traveling this summer. Put your most valuable items, like a laptop computer, on the security conveyor belt first. Always put your shoes on the conveyor belt last. It's common for people to miss the last thing they put on the belt and walk away without it. I can assure you that you won't forget your shoes!
They haven't asked me to write a gardening column for the paper because my true gardening knowledge could be placed in a thimble with room to spare.
There are literally thousands of cultivated varieties of dahlias, which have been hybridized throughout the years.
It's nice to incorporate ornamental plants into casually designed perennial beds, shrub borders and natural areas of the yard, but what types of ornamental plants can one use to keep the deer from nibbling as if the yard were a buffet table?
This is the first in a series of profiles of Georgia wineries. Subsequent profiles will appear when the writer feels sufficiently motivated to do them ... or when his editor yells at him.
Pickup trucks are great to have. Besides making you sexier, they're great for hauling stuff. One problem though is when your items slide toward the cab in the truck bed and you have to climb in the truck to retrieve them. The solution: make a "truck stick." As the name implies it's a long stick with a hook on the end. Just leave it in the bed of your truck and use it whenever your items slide away from you.
Shortly after Cole was born, we got concerned. He was always crying and could never seem to get comfortable.
With increasing numbers of area residents delving into gardening this spring, the extension office is answering questions on a variety of garden topics.
I am addicted to cooking programs on TV, and I especially love Southern cooking programs.
Perhaps you've seen the T-shirt emblazoned with, "I Was A Millionaire Until Mom Gave Away My Baseball Card Collection."

Dogs and cats have brains, and those brains work much the same way human brains do.
In terms of its natural setting, North Georgia can count many blessings.
A vegetable garden is just not complete without summer squash growing among the tomatoes, peppers, okra and cucumbers.
Widely considered to be one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films, I finally decided to sit down and watch "North by Northwest" and was treated to a fantastic spy thriller.
So what are your plans for the Fourth of July? Having a cookout? Attending a fireworks display? Getting up at the crack of dawn to go run?
I love putting puzzles together. As a child, I'd usually receive a puzzle every Christmas. Even as an adult, my mom still makes sure I get one each year.
I loved Wolverine before it was cool.
Summer begins today, and hurricane season is already in progress. Georgia is affected by hurricanes, but they play out differently in our northern part of the state than they do in the coastal plain.
My maternal grandfather would have celebrated his 94th birthday today. He's been gone for 2 1/2 years.

ClubMed Coupons & Promo Codes
We're adding thousands of new coupons everyday. In the meantime, click here to see great sales happening on ClubMed.
Never miss a great ClubMed coupon and get our best coupons every week!
About ClubMed
When they're ready to escape the gray skies of winter, or flee the concrete skies of an office building, vacationers pick up Club Med coupons. Across the globe, Club Med's coastal "villages" and their alpine counterparts immerse visitors in activities, shows, and seas of friendly faces. Inclusive packages let guests swim, sip, eat, and lounge without a second thought, so when it's time to return to the everyday, they do so feeling refreshed. A number of themes and activities characterize the coastal villages, which are divided into three types: families, everyone, and adults-only. From there, a prospective adventurer picks the continent, country, style, and focus of their experience. After that, the only thing left to do is get packing. Before you book your next getaway, grab a Club Med coupon from Groupon Freebies.
Club Med's international constellation of fun-focused villages all started with Belgian water-polo champ Gérard Blitz, who opened the first on the Spanish island of Mallorca. These 1950 beachside dwellings looked a lot different than their modern-day counterparts, consisting merely of unlit straw huts, shared washing facilities, and a now-extinct dodo DJ. Today, activities, buffets, and plush accommodations dominate the highly customizable trips. Staffers bolster the already convivial culture by dining, drinking, and partying with vacationers.
The coastal palaces of Club Med have come a long way since those straw huts, but vacationers who trend toward the rustic can still opt for comparatively crunchy digs. That's because some villages are designed to blend with nature for an experience that feels at once earthy and luxurious. And, style of dwelling isn't the only thematic choice vacationers make before setting sail. Jet-setting with the spouse and kids, or journeying with a pal to meet fellow singles? Want a getaway centered on golf, scuba diving, or winter sports? How about one where every day's a spa day? A Club Med promo code can be used toward myriad types of experiences.
If you're ready to unwind in front of a sunset, gallop on a horse across beaches, or learn to say, "How's my Portuguese?" in Thai, then a Club Med coupon can launch you on a personalized trip to craft memories that will last you a lifetime.

Big Brother 14 Live Feeds: Bikinis and Bods By The Pool| July 14, 2012 at 3:12 PM EDT
Ah yes. The time honored Big Brother tradition of basking in the sun by the pool has returned. Big Brother 14 HGs Kara , Danielle , JoJo, and Frank broke out the bikinis and swim trunks to catch some rays and soak in the pool.
I hope these HGs enjoy the quiet and calm time because before too much longer they'll be back to fighting, lying, and backstabbing. But that's later. Now it's poolside for us on the Live Feeds. Get your free 3-day trial and see what you're missing on Big Brother!
Sure enough, HGs used the pooltime to hide in the HoH room and hash out their strategy for the next Big Brother 14 eviction. Things continue to shift back and forth, but yesterday's plan still looks to be holding on steady with this group.
Anyway, check out what the HGs have to offer. Any favorites so far in this bunch?

Fantastic Hotel with great staffPosted Jun 6, 2015
Pros: Everything. We were surrounded by nature and the room was great.
Cons: I can't think of anything.
Location: We only left the resort to go fishing and it was a little bit of a drive but nothing to complain about.
The hotel was absolutely amazing! The property is surrounded by nature so walking around is an experience in itself. The Laguna Room we stayed at was incredible. We were on the second floor over looking the laguna and it felt like we stayed in a tree house. I can not say enough amazing things about the staff. Each person was so polite and helpful. They exemplify true customer service. We also visited the Spa a couple of times and had incredible treatments there as well. Lastly, the food was incredible. Everything we tried was great and paired well. You can tell they have put a lot of thought in their dishes. I can't think of one negative thing about our stay. We will definitely be recommending the Blue Diamond to friends and family.

Beach RealityPosted May 26, 2015
Pros: Room comfort and services
Cons: The beach occupancies
Location: N/A
When we have chosen this hotel, main criteria was "do not have to fight for chairs on the beach" Nobody on the previous reviews mention that more than half of the beach (and it is a very small one) is reserved for the 5 casitas (practically 5 couples!!), or for whatever the manager of the resort (like relative, friends) let them stay there. The rest of the beach (1/3) has high density chairs that need to fit the rest of the resort people, over 200 people. The swimming pools are very small and very low water level, impossible to really swim just to get wet! We just wanted to have a very nice quiet time, but hunting a quiet chair at the beach was very stressful, as they will harass you if you cross the reserve area! Make sure if you go to this hotel, to be in a very crowded place on the beach if you are not in the 5 casitas, or a preferred management costumer! Very disappointing and frustrating! It was not compensating for the very nice service, and nice people.

Beautiful & relaxingPosted May 25, 2015
The excellent ratings and pictures were spot on! The property is tranquil and beautiful. The food is very good and they provide a good variety. This was one of the best trips I've tak in a long time; a very good overall experience. The only advice I would give is to not be in a hurry for anything. Transportation in the resort and service is laid back; however, it wasn't a terrible inconvenience.

Small relaxing and better quality than competitorsPosted May 17, 2015
Pros: High quality, Amazing Food, Small (not crowded), Nice rooms, Excellent service
Cons: Logistics and operations, honesty of staff regarding problems, not a lot of things to do inside the resort
Location: Middle of the Riviera Maya, surrounded by a few miles of beach. 20USD/15min taxi away from Playa del Carmen, about 40 miles from Cancun
One of the best all-inclusive resorts in the area The food is simply amazing. There are only three restaurants on site, and one is only open for dinner (6-10). But the quality of the food is outstanding, exquisite top-end traditional Mexican dishes as well as some international alternatives. In contrast with other all-inclusive resorts, the drink service is great. The bars/mini-bars have good brands, and bartenders/waiters are very attentive and willing to please It is very small (128 rooms) and hence quiet and perfect for relaxing, not the place to party. Most of the guests during our stay were couples and would just chill in the beach, pool area or restaurants It is surrounded by a few miles of beaches. It is between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos, and you can access either place with a 1USD/40min public van, or a 20USD/20min taxi. Its very central location makes it easy to drive or take a shuttle to other popular places Only two complaints. The logistics are not that great. E.g., if you try to schedule something at the lobby, the instructions might never make it to the concierge. They will try to fix things as soon as they realize, but you might face some inconveniences Also, they are never straightforward when there are issues. E.g., they don't have enough bikes for all guests. Instead of telling you that you will have to wait a day or two, they will keep saying that a bike will be available soon and then making excuses, I saw this happen with a few guests

Amazing, Tranquil GetawayPosted May 12, 2015
Pros: We loved the beach area, especially at breakfast. The wide choices of fresh fruit juices were also amazing.
Cons: We thought the Spa packages were slightly expensive but understood these were probably the standard prices in a 5* resort.
Location: We went Xcaret wildlife park and Chichen-Itza (7 wonders) - both were amazing!!
We visited Blue Diamond as our Honeymoon destination and definitely NOT let down. From the front reception area to our rooms, to the beach and tropical rainforest surrounding, Blue Diamond is an ideal getaway for couples. We stayed in the Cenote Laguna Deluxe Suites and were amazed by the space of the rooms and location next to the Laguna.

Went here for a honeymoon. It was a blast and the staff was fabulous. This was a low key, luxurious resort. If you are looking for the party scene then this is not the one for you. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of boozing and hanging out, but not the loud, chaotic "spring break"scene.

I know it's hard but to euthanize someone's animal after they lost everything is just wrong. I've donated, I hope you will, too.
"The greatness of a nation and its.
moral progress can be judged by the.
way its animals are treated.".
People have lost almost everything! We cannot let anyone euthanize their fur babies! I would die if I lost everything and then on top of that people wanted to kill my babies! I really would die! Please help them!
Pets are family members, you would not euthanize people that got lost from their families due to the storm.
Many families have lost everything, now let's not add to their loss by euthanizing their pets! Because of the devastation it is taking longer to reconnect lost pets with their owners. NYC"S Animal Care and Control must put a halt on destroying animals while folks are still recovering!
I would take one in...Til their family Get situated.

"Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" Workshop
Almost everyone has personal belongings such as wedding photographs, a baseball glove, or a pie plate that contain meaning for them and for other members of their family. What happens to your personal belongings when you die? Who decides who gets what? How can decisions be made during one's lifetime? "Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" is a program developed several years ago by the Cooperative Extension Service at the University of Minnesota. It was designed to help individuals and families decide how to distribute non-titled assets, your personal belongings.
The division of personal property on an equal basis is sometimes where the main problem lies. What is fair? What is equal? Dollar value? Number of items? Dr. Rebecca Travnichek, Family Financial Education Specialist, with University of Missouri Extension can help you find the answers to these questions.
Please plan to attend "Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" workshop to be held on Thursday, July 16, 2015, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Laclede County Extension Center at 186-D N.

Are these things that might affect the overall profitability of your farming operation? Well if so maybe we can help.Hickory County MU Extension Office will be hosting four, two-night, courses on Pasture Plant and Weed Identification starting in June.

Don't Guess - Soil Tests Save Time and Money
Soil testing is the best guide to the wise and efficient use of fertilizer and soil amendments, said Manjula Nathan, director of the University of Missouri Extension Soil Testing and Plant Diagnostic Services. Whether you grow acres of row crops or have a vegetable patch in the backyard, a soil test will provide you with an analysis of nutrients and a set of recommendations for any improvements.
"We frequently get questions from customers like, 'I apply fertilizer every year. How come my plants are not doing well?'" Nathan said.
"Most of the time the problem is they never have done a soil test but have been guessing on fertilizer requirements," she said. "They do not realize that by guessing they are wasting money by over- or under application, and the excess fertilizer can end up in streams, ponds and underground water, polluting the environment."
Soil testing can be done through the extension office. Regional specialists can give you additional informational recommendations. The cost is $15 per sample. See additional MU publications on soil testing.

I heard that if you go into the ocean with a lot of suntan lotion on, the small amount of acetone in the suntan lotion interacts with the salt water and can run down your fingers and turn your gels to goo. Is this true?
If that were true, then suntan lotion and salt water could be used to remove UV gels. Clearly that's a myth and I've never seen acetone listed as a suntan lotion ingredient. Some suntan lotions contain ingredients that may absorb into the enhancements and soften them a little and cause discoloration, but no way are they turning to goo. I'd say this myth is busted. — Doug Schoon is the chief scientific advisor to CND.
Acetone is highly volatile and to my knowledge not used in any suntan or sunscreen lotion. However, certain sunscreens do have the capability of softening nail lacquer, causing it to smear or peel off. I haven't heard of this happening with gel nails. — Paul Bryson, Ph.D., is the director of research and development at OPI.

the neiborhood is peacefull and you have the city center 10 minutes on bus. the family is perfect and you will have freedom in the house. All perfect and thanks for everythink
My experience with Therese and her family was really fantastic. Therese is an uncommonly gracious host. Her family was very hospitable and it was great meeting them as well as the others at the house. The location provided a feasible way to easily get into Dublin and is close to a grocery store, gym, etc. I also found it to be very safe. If you're looking for a reliable place to let from where you will be able to get advice / help for any issue that might arise, this is the place for you.
Lovely place. I am actually going to have my brother live there for a month. The meals are great, Therese is a very good cook, and if you dislike something or have a request she'll most happily suit your tastes. The room gets cleaned very often, the location is pretty good, too.
Highly recommended!
Besides that, both Therese and Jimmy are very interesting people with whom one can have a laid back, nice conversation.

Charla Nash, who survived a brutal attack by a chimpanzee, appeared in Washington D.C. last week to appeal directly to lawmakers and the public in an effort to gain support for legislation that would crack down on keeping nonhuman primates as pets.
In 2009 Nash lost most of her face, her hands and later her eyes as the result of an infection from when she was attacked by Travis, a chimpanzee who was purchased in Missouri and transported to Connecticut where he was kept as a pet by her friend and employer, Sandra Herold.
"What happened to me must never happen to anyone again," Nash said at press conference.
The legislation she's supporting, the Captive Primate Safety Act, would make it harder for people to keep chimpanzees and other monkeys by amending the Lacey Act to add nonhuman primates to the list of animals who can't be bought or moved across state lines as pets.
The bill was re-introduced by Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick and co-sponsored by Earl Blumenaur and is getting widespread support from a number of animal advocacy organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Born Free USA, the Jane Goodall Institute, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the ASPCA, which are all now urging Congress to act swiftly to pass it.
While there are a patchwork of state laws and regulations dealing with primates as pets, people can still get them online, at auctions and from out-of-state dealers, which animal advocates believe makes federal legislation necessary to cover the gaps.
Supporters hope the bill will protect the public from another terrible incident like Nash's and reduce the potential spread of diseases, including tuberculosis and herpes-B.
"Non-human primates should not be sold or traded anywhere in the United States because they are unsafe to humans and they cannot be humanely cared for," Senator Richard Blumenthal, who is supporting the Senate version, said at a news conference. "Wildlife should be kept in the wild."
According to the HSUS, more than 270 people, including 86 children, have been injured by captive primates since 1990, while many more incidents are believed to have gone unreported. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies waste resources dealing with incidents and cruelty cases.
Supporters of the legislation hope that it will also protect primates from a host of problems that come with private ownership affecting their welfare. These problems range from being torn from their mothers as infants and then suffering from mutilations like having their teeth removed, to being kept in conditions that don't meet the needs of what are highly intelligent and social animals.
Backers of the bill also hope that it will prevent animals who become too expensive, or too large or difficult to handle, from being kept in isolation, dumped or ending up back in the exotic pet trade.
The bill was first introduced in 2005, but never made it through both the House and Senate. Hopefully, having to confront what happened to Nash and her resulting campaign will compel Congress to push the bill through this time.
Please sign and share the petition urging your representative to protect both the public and nonhuman primates by supporting the Captive Primate Safety Act.
If you are in any doubt as to the need for this legislation, please watch the following video which features Charla Nash talking about her condition and the attack she suffered:

firmado! gracias
Petition signed gladly. It's common sense.
Very fortuitous as I just watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" last night. Excellent movie and although it is fiction it includes realistic scenes of what happens when people try and use non-human primates as pets or lab animals. Not a happy ending for any of us.

Chinese mine killing livestock, destroying farm in Tibet
[Monday, January 21, 2013 17:13]
Chinese mine in Lhundup near Lhasa, Tibet.
DHARAMSHALA, January 21: A major Chinese mining project in central Tibet has forced the eviction of hundreds of Tibetans from their ancestral lands and caused severe damage to the environment, leading to livestock deaths and decline in farm yield.
According to sources, around 400 families of Dhun village in Lhundup, near the Tibetan capital city of Lhasa were forcibly removed by Chinese authorities to make way for the mining project, work on which began in 2005.
Over the years, the mining plant has adversely effected the environment in the region, polluting water sources, minimising grassland, and reducing farm yield.
According to locals, the mine's untreated waste which has been dumped into the river and the destruction of grassland have caused the death of livestock.
Although local Tibetans have repeatedly expressed their concerns at various levels, Chinese authorities have paid no heed to their appeals and instead labelled their efforts as politically motivated.
There is very little information on the types of minerals that are being extracted from the Chinese owned mines, although some speculate that white gold could be a major resource. According to sources, only three Tibetans work at the mining project as compared to the nearly ten thousand Chinese labourers employed. Locals have reported citing as many as ten trucks plying out of the mining site each day.
"According to some studies, this region lies in a north-dipping thrust fault and has deposits of Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu) and Gold (Au) formed in stratiform orebody," Tsering Dhundup, a researcher at the Environment and Development Desk of the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration told Phayul.
In September 2011, China announced plans to spend 300 billion yuan (US$46.89 billion) on 226 key projects ranging from railway and dam building to mining and promoting tourism in Tibet within the next five years.
According to China's official statistics, the Tibetan plateau has China's largest chromium and copper reserves with most of its rich iron, gold, silver, potassium, oil, and natural gas reserves unexploited.
Tibetans have long argued that China's grand projects in Tibet are planned and implemented without consultation, consent, and knowledge of the local Tibetans.
The Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration maintains that Beijing, "under the guise of economic and social development, encourages the migration of Chinese population to Tibet, marginalising the Tibetans in economic, educational, political and social spheres."
