around and harass them,eh? Remember, dear, you asked me to read this blog post in one of your comments against me on one of my blog post you and your cohorts were on? I read this, found errors, and answered it as requested. I will ask you once again to stop commenting on my blogs, WP. Thanks, PR

It is well-known that you frequent all the savannah-related sites and use them to try to ram your opinion down the public's collective throat.
Ram, as in physically trying to ram something down a person's throat, Skippy? If people do not want to read what I write or post here, they are free to pass over it. This is a blog/forum site, if you want to ram something,SX, go to the boxing gym. These are just words for written communications, not the law of the land. Geez, get over yourself, please. PR

Aren't you embarrassed to be such a hypocritical, whining bully?
"Also, please see my post "What is a blog"? You keep calling all your posts "blogs" and they do not fit the description." I was giving you what is on the drop down menu, el stupido wide-load, WP. You were the error. Also, dementia is not just for older folks, WP, it can happen to anyone at anytime. It is not a joke or a laughing matter. You talk about being a Christian as if were something a person can put on and take off. It is not. You, still mean nothing to me, because I know in my heart and mind, I mean nothing to you. It would be a waste of my time to try to talk to you about being a Christian. You have a closed-mind about anything I might say or do. It is evident how you always immediately jump into any comment against me. It is sad.
First, anal retentive and now, beginning to get sweaty with hot flashes WP? I bet you are hot to the touch right now over these blog posts/post blogs. Keep your shirt and pants on, it is just a blog/forum site. Plus, no need for you to wade in too deep, you may float like a whale and squeal like one, too. You need to very carefully blow out all the hot air and such! PR

been in the sun too long? Hyper is my personality, hypocritical is yours. I believe you are the embarrassment not me. Bully? I really am beginning to wonder if you have ever seen a real bully in person. I am a little woman and can barely get around with my walking cane, nope, I am not a bully, wrong person, SOB. PR

believe you are in a boat without a rudder the way you go this way, then dip, bob and weave, and go the other way. I know who I am and what I look like in the mirror. You, however, are prolly afraid to get near one for fear it would break. Do you break cameras, too? You are making jokes and cracks about my latest video and you know you loved it. It is all any of you talked about for weeks. There were so many lies told about me, what I wore, how I looked, what I said in the video, until I gave up trying to sort them out. You cannot enlighten children like you and a few others on this site, so be it. Hopefully, you all will learn one day. Why don't you turn up the music and relax, if you can after a hard day of walking your beat. Those who protect and serve deserve the best. PR

Your W upside down means "menu" at the Wendy's. Don't you just love those double bacon cheesburgers. I got news for you if you wore water wings, you would look like dumbo the elephant taking a dive off the high board. I hope the folks sunbathing around the pool know to run for the clubhouse when you start to dive in. If I could just see a photo of you in your uniform, I bet your tummy would be hanging over your belt buckle and the shirt buttons would be straining to pop any second. NTM, the double seams you have to have in your rump area to ward off any embarrassing moments of you ripping over a back fence chasing someone. Do they charge you for two seats on the airplane? Keep it up with me, Whirly Bird, and you will get it in return 10 times 10, or your dress size 20X. I wear a moderate size 12, size 6 1/2 shoes, 44D's in bras, large size in blouses and have a 29 inches waist.I do have a love handle or two but nothing a little exercise won't repair. My only weakness is Reeses candy bars and carrot cake. And, DudesMama recipes, can add pounds, if I eat too much of her food. Lord, that woman can cook. Paula Deen could learn a thing or two from her. She uses low fat butter, splenda, light oils and olive oils, and her food is fantastic. She cooks good country food as well. Now, darn it, I need a snack.
I happend to think queen-sized women can be beautiful if they have a sweet and loving personality to go with it. A lot of people are big because of health reasons because of their thyroid glands or inherited genes. Of course, you do not take any of this into consideration when you start wrapping your mouth around ugly words to them, while you eat your double cheesburgers and fries with doughnut chasers in the dark closet? Food addictions are as common as other addictions as to gambling, over spending, alcoholism it is in the genes and dopomaine and endorphines seem to help curb the cravings. They are diseases. Oh, I forgot. You don't believe anything I say or do, so why do I bother.
Good luck in your future endeavors to curb your tongue and your appetite. If you quit this nonesense posting, so will I, Whirl Pool. Two question, who is "nells from hell" on the forum? I just love that man in uniform! "The Hells Coming" Guy is sort of scary. Do you really think he is Jimmy from Garden City. Now, that is terrifying, if so. I love that line one of them has about "I am your huckleberry." It is an old western gunslinger saying. I hope this is bye bye, WP. Check out my new posted videos. You might get an idea of what makes me tick on a few things, plus a well needed laugh or two, depending on your brand of comedy. I am from an older generation but like a lot of the new things in the younger ones. Of course, baggy pants and exposed butt cracks are not part of them. Cheers, PR

snide put downs on the video and me once again. I beg to differ about the video topic as it was discussed for weeks on different topics on the forums and on this blog posting site. You were all vile, hateful, nasty, disgusting in speech and actions but I am still here, sweetie, and I will remain. You little detractors of mine are like little gnats and skeeters to me. Insects to be swapped away or sprayed with a deathly dose of WoodsOff. If you do protect and serve then you do deserve the best and I commend you for your chosen occupation.

Be safe. Cheers, PR

comment, XH. Where did you get your MD from, the Sears Wish Book? Surely, not the same place others on this site have gotten it, by eating the worm in the Mescal? I am shocked at the way some of you are continually giving out a medical diagnosis without a clue as to what you are talking about or how mentally sick silly it makes you appear to be. Please go read a nice book of Emily Dickinson poems to soothe your brain, XH. Maybe, it will help to improve your disposition. You could have a nice soak in a tub of bubbles and play with your tub toys. Here's to Good health and Good luck for ya. PR
"There are none so blind as those who will not see."
positively to me. PR, no one here likes you. Why don't you leave and go somewhere else--somewhere narrow-minded old biddies like yourself hang out? Better yet, you could get your own domain and create numerous other "chatters" with whom to have ego-building "conversations."
when I am on this blog site. I get more hits on my blogs and comments than any other blogger. You all have made me the most popular blogger on this site. Therefore, your statement "no one here likes me" is ridiculous in and of itself, without the views and hits on my blogs/comments. The other part about me being and old biddy? I doubt you even know what and old biddy actually is because you are such a young pup. What is narrow-minded to you? A person with a one track mind and one mission to hopefully make my life miserable on this blog site? Is so, that is definitely you who are the biddy, not me. As to my making up other "bloggers" is pure speculation by anyone. How do I know you do not have other blogger user names, or use other bloggers real blogs, which you can post to by sharing a password? You are so narrow-minded about me and homing in on my comments, until you are forgetting all about everyone else on here. How many blogs do you share with others on this site or elsewhere, if any? See what I mean, Skip? Just stop and think about what we are doing here-nada-zip-just playing word put downs. I can play words date with you from dawn to dusk most of the time.
I build simple web sites for others, Skip, my darling. Mainly, for family and friends as needed. I have many domains names to maintain for myself and others. I had to close some of the sites as not enough time to properly update them and keep the news, photos, and links fresh. I do not need any ego-building conversations with you as I have many people to communicate with each day. We chat by video conferencing or IM. I love talking with people and exchanging ideas, recipes, politics info, baseball highlights-GO BRAVES, religion, just plain stuff. I have obligations here at home so I spend a lot of time indoors. It gets boring most day. I work and blog in cyberspace. No harm, no foul intended. What about this don't you and others understand?
It is nice to be able to work from home and earn some cash doing something you love and helping folks at the same time. I love what I do, Skip, and it is very rewarding to assist other senior citizens, family and friends.
Most of the web sites are password protected now because of a problem I had with my family reunion site and some posters finding it and eluding to out my name on this site. Like it ws some dirty little secret which it was not. The TOS does not permit it without permission of the person in question. That poster is the only one I have EVER sent a request to the moderators to check out the post and, if it was not in accordance with the SMN TOS, to please have it removed. I have a copy of the email sent to the content producer. The post was viewed and removed. I was satisfied but this person's blog buddies were not?? Since that time, I have been assailed by every insect crawling out from under the rock and cervices of this web site for doing what I had an absolute right to do. Where is the justice in that, Skippy? The poster in question has been kind enough to leave me alone and to honor my request to stop posting on my blog. He/she goes his way and I go mine. I respect him/her for that very much. It was a mutual arrangement. We might not like each other but we try to co-exist on this site.
Why don't you do the same, Skippy? Just stop these needless back and forth postings with me and it will be ended. That goes for other bloggers reading this posting. It is that simple. I will not be called names by you or anyone on or off this site. I will and do defend myself. Just keep calling me names and we will continue this urinating in the sand fest at your request. Otherwise, cease and desist and so will I. Call it a stalemate or a win-win situation, even a you win, I lose, if it makes you feel better. See how open-minded I can be.
Bye, Skippy, I hope you will let bygones be bygones. Smooth sailing to ya! PR

Size 12 and a 29 inch waist....what a joke.

People can't look help staring at a train wreck, PR. You just make life tougher on every Southerner by pepetuating the stereotyoe of the "dumb Southerner." Thanks a lot.
alone. You have to continue to peck, peck on this flaming blog thread. I told you all I was wearing a big shirt in my last video but everyone kept saying otherwise. I was told I was not wearing a lace cami with bra and it was a lace bra with my boobs hanging out, ad nausea. I really was wearing a lace cami with a strapless bra underneath with a big shirt over it. Everyone believed otherwise because it made for better laughs and nasty remarks for them. It was a ha, ha, yoke, yoke at my expense. For that matter, at the expense of any blogger you do not like, you fear, you envy, you just want to hurt because you are behind the screen, not out front for everyone to see you doing your dirty deeds.
A few of you bloggers are like piranhas at a human fish fry. You smell blood and you home-in on your victim and have a feeding frenzy. This time you are being eaten yourselves by your own means of trying to hurt others. Ah, I see the light bulb has come on in your brain, XH. If someone throws you a bone with a little meat on it, you go, go, go for it, every time. You are like trained seals, gulp, gulp. Clap your hands, take a dive, blow the whistle, trash somebody. You have gang and mob mentality in your tag team. Can't you see it?
Let it end here, XH. You have a nice evening and a better day tomorrow. PR

Please see my comment to Xarah above, MT. You can read this link if you like about sizing. And, yes, gas prices are very expensive but I do get to the pharmacy for my meds. Just not the kind you are insinuating I take or need to take. All you fake MD's on this blog are coming out like ants to sugar. You just have to get your penny thoughts into the thread. Let it go, MT, you are late to the game. It is time to fold your chair, put your garbage away and go home. You have a great evening and enjoy your ride to work tomorrow on that expensive gas. PR

tight on your pointed head? Has the sun gotten to you. Please refrain from blaming me for perpetuating the stereotype of the "dumb" Southerner. You need no help in doing that one yourself. Don't realize how ridiculous you appear to me and probably other readers. If I am being made fun of by others, it is because of you bloggers who have nothing better to do than trash talk to me and expect me to allow it. As to people cannot help but stare at a train wreck, you mean "rubbernecks" like you who want to get in on the action on this flaming thread against me. You just want your name on the blacklist board in case I go down in flames. Geez, what a joker you are, Skippy. I am having the time of my life sending real zingers back to you all. I can handle pests like you with one hand typing, or "hunt and pecking". LOL.... Read my comments to Xarah and Maytag as they apply to you as well. If you stick around and keep firing flares at me, you better put on two life jackets and hunker down, boy, cause the "rocket girl" is coming in for a direct flaming hit. why don't you retire it while you still have a chance at salvaging a little of your pride. I gave you an out once, why don't you take it? You have a great day tomorrow and I was and will still be a "classy" southerner without a single doubt, before and after this thread ends . BTW, is that a train I hear a roaring down the track at your back? PR

The most merciful thing that could happen to you, PR, is a frontal lobatomy or committment to an asylum.
it would take a railroad spike to penetrate a thought into your skull and brain. Don't be telling me about what you said or did not say in your comment to me. I know what you wrote. You said "large or men's size shirt" is what I should be wearing. I was telling you about the video in which I said I was wearing a large (men's) shirt over a cami and I was called a liar. You know exactly what I meant, you are just being asinine. As to me having other blog names, it is pure speculation by you and any others. You do understand the term, speculation,I hope. If not, Webster's Dictionary is on line for your perusal. Please get some rest, you definitely need it. You have been trying to think too much lately. Ciao, PR

It is not a popularity contest for me but it is for you and your cohorts. I bet you guys just salivate every time you read a post from me or anyone with a usernames you believe is mine.

who know how to handle those who would defame others for their beliefs. their looks, their religions. They know God did not mean for Christians to be stomped on and ridiculed without answering the naysayers. You people have demonstrated the kind of folks you are by not only ridiculing me but others on this site for their beliefs. Your bigotry, anti-Christian beliefs, God haters, call us every name in the book and then call us hypocrites when we defend ourselves and our beliefs. I wish I could bring all of you to Jesus and have you feel his love whether you commit to his beliefs in the Holy Bible or not. Just to feel the love, not the hate. You think human beings who are Christians are suppose to stand up and take whatever people dish out upon them. God don't believe in that way at least not the one I know. Take a break and read some literature other than your Playboy mags, or Sci-Fi books. Read about the miracles happening today and those of the Holy Bible. Read and learn. It may be too late before you realize it. PR
"There are none so blind as those who will not see."
than now available for a concise reply to this latest false claim of yours and your buddies. I will post it at the top of the blog comments for your complete review. As I see fake physician friend of yours has done in the past. You all are really making arses out of yourselves in this manner. PR
"There are none so blind as those who refuse to see."
(This regards your last nasty post to me on page 5, if others care to read it. I believe it needs further elaboration since you and your blog/forums poster buddies have opened the same topic many times and have twisted the topic out of its true form and reference. Every time I post something you do not like, I get attacked religiously.)
to all questions regardless of the issue at hand. We all are mortal and have to die some day, some time, somewhere. I said I did not care if you fell down a deep well to the center of the earth and died. I would not shed a tear as I knew in my heart you did not care about me and I do not care about you. If you are unlucky or stupid enough to fall down a deep well, you would probably die if no one was around to save you. I doubt you would be able to make that 911 call.
From what I just read about a man calling 911 with no response, it would not surprise me, unless you had a really good signal on your cell phone or radio,if the call gets dropped. As to the comment about insects and gnats, etc. being given a deadly dose of Woods Off, that is just what people do with real nasty, biting little insects, probably you have a few cans at home, when they are literally and constantly trying to eat you alive. My analogy and comparison of you and others to insects is certainly applicable in that regard.
As to speaking out of both sides of my mouth about God and Jesus and the Holy Bible, it is usually the only way besides a microphone to get people to come to attention. You turn your head to the left, the front, and right when speaking to them. I will not hit you over the head with a cross or accept being hit over the head with any insulting remarks from atheists/agnostic/or your mindset of what a Christian should be, do, and say to me or about me. I will go my way and you go yours. The door to God and Jesus are there for you to open and accept on a 24/7 basis.
My religious beliefs were attacked for just mentioning them in a spiritual way on the forums and now on this blog side, all one web site, as I was once told. My husband is leading the service tomorrow at our church, if you care to drive up to our area, since some of you say you know where I live and my church, be here by 11 a.m. church time, the doors are open, come on in.
You are correct sometimes I am too sick to attend our church or I have a sick granchild to care for. I read my Bible and pray or read or listen to a church sermon, if I can. It is not about your beliefs as some people do believe in all kinds of things as a religion of sorts. This is about Christiany. What I personally believe and wish to pass on to others, if they want to receive the information. Religion is a choice, remember. Some choices are more deadlier than others to the masses and should be held at bay, if at all possbile by those who wish to live themselves and to protect the innocents.
The way you and your blogging posting cohorts act and speak on here, I have my doubts if you believe in anything except yourselves, so be it, but lay off of my beliefs and your rigid ideas of what a Christian should be in YOUR mind. Just because you say something to me or imply something about me, it certainly does not mean it is true for a fact regarding me or my personal beliefs and my body. Until it is proven I do not have a soul which is stated comes from God, I will believe I do. I told another blogger the same thing. No one can absolutely prove God does exist and no one can absolutely prove he does not, we take him on FAITH and the teaching of his words from the Holy Bible.
I think the world may one day do just what the Bible suggests and depicts in Revelations. We will blow ourselves into oblivion by bombs or other devices over religions or some non-religious beliefs. The flames will reach way into outer space from the earth, along with our civilization as we know. In a Bible story it was believed John the Baptist was a liar and a charlatan. He was imprisoned and eventually beheaded by the demands of those who were afraid of him and this "Jesus" person. They felt threatened and thought this Jesus" may become more powerful than them through his prophets and their teachings. We have people who believe we are all infidels who do not believe in Islam. These fanatics are out to kill us and everyone in the world who believes differently.
The people who are radical Islamic fanatics of the Muslim religion, who wear hoods over their cowardly faces ,are beheading those Americans and others who do not believe as they do in Iraq and Afghanstan, America and other parts of the world today. That should prove to others what fanatics they are. God referred to them as Zohans (or extreme religious fanatics)he did not condone their actions. We had them in America who hung suspected witches, warlocks, and imprisoned some to starve and die. The Puritanicals gave us a bad name. At that time, we still believed in serfs and lords and royalty. The strange new world and the old England world were colliding. Now, the pendulum has swung too far again. True Muslims must believe in God to join the religion, however, they do not believe Jesus died on the cross, he went to Mohammed land . Some Danish folks posted cartoons depicting these happenings; the land had run out of virgins for those willing to sacrfice their lives for Allah by killing infidels. The Muslim world went up in total outrage. I guess there are naysayers about anything religions are not just here in America.
I hope you and all the rest can understand what this signifys. It is mortal men taking their religious beliefs to the literal deadly extreme and becoming fanatics about it in believing it is the only true religion and all who do not believe should die and go to hell. We filthy infidels who are corrupting the world. The next time you want to attack me, remember, I have raised no sword to you. I have told you I wish you could come to feel Jesus and his love if YOU cared to do it. Your choice, my choice.
Don't call me a non-Christian hypocrite because I am human with human feelings about being called dirty, filthy, nasty, disgusting names because of my religious beliefs and because I tell you about them or stand up to you hate bloggers. Ever site has them, ours is not different. I stand alone on against you all because I have asked my friends to stay off the blog postings about me. I do not want them stalked and harassed and treated with vile disrespect as I am. I believe in fighting fire with fire when necessary and you all like the "flames" and name calling so you get it in return. Not in the manner in which I was called vile, filthy and disgusting names and suggestions I was having a sex or boyfriend/girlfriend relationships with some bloggers on this site who I tried to defend. Plus, suggesting I have many numerous other usernames/nics, or whatever you want to call them, on this site, etc. etc. You don't know which end is up on that score. Your head must be buried in that sand we are always hearing about, or you just like being hateful to others.
You know every word of this was and is still continuing. You were one of the worse offenders on the forums because I pushed back when you were nasty to me and stood up for myself and you did not like it.
Keep it up with your cat calls, WhirlPool, or whatever your name is since you hide behind your avatar. You all know who I am because you all outed me on this site and claimed to know where I live, claim photos and videos show me as ugly & fat and other disgusting comments about my body parts. You all are gonna be answering to a much higher power. I may not see it or know about it but sometimes God works in mysterious ways for all of us. Maybe, when your gun jams, he'll take the bullet meant for you from a perp. Maybe, if you do fall in that well, he will send his hand down to save you. Who knows the true wonders and depths of his love or what the great I AM might do or who he will send to help you in his name and in his stead in your life at just the right time you need his loving care. He lives in all of us, if we are to acknowledge our souls exist.
Good night and sweet dreams,WP. All the atheists and/or other religious fanatics in this world can beat on and pound each other into the next world, but not be me. I will say my piece and questions your reasonings and move on. To each his own, just stay out and away from me and mine. I still hope you do not get hurt or killed in the line of duty protecting and serving the public, if that is your true occupation. I respect your devotion to duty, but not you as the person you have shown yourself to be to little old lady me, thus far.
Have a great day with your family and friends. I will do the same. And please, don't call this a rant, it is the truth as I know it and see it and have experienced it in a very personal way. PR
"There are none so blind those who refuse to see."
forums. I have always tried to be fair with everyone. Sometimes, I get my back up over things people say and do but the way I was treated on the forums was inexcusable compared to what ACTUALLY started all of it when I took up for JD. I responded in kind, end of story. Sona suggested everyone start flooding my posts and a few posters did just that. Sona never posted on a one of them. What some of them put on my posts were totally uncalled for and off the wall with insults. I don't wish anyone bodily harm or otherwise but when I am called vicious and vile names and have my identity and family brought into question and unkind remarks made about them, it is very personal, and too ridiculous for words on a blog/forum posting site. It is totally without merit and is a low down dirty trick to play on anyone to make the remarks "we are coming to your family reunion and act like arses" or try to make as if you will start some kind of dust up, or words to that effect. Just totally rude, nasty and despicable things to do to another human being where their family is concerned. If I had done such a thing to any of you, I would have been the worse blogger who ever lived, etc. etc. One forum poster has the topic, "You touch my child you die." Of course, their subject matter is much more serious and not in the same category as what I am referencing but in the same term of hurting family. Maybe, this will give you a little insight as to how I felt about my family and my family reunion being made a virtual laughing stock. How was I to know who you people were and what you might be capable of doing? This is not a see through mirror or in person to person conversation on here. Some people are just naturally hateful, nasty, do anything to anyone people on or off line. You should know what one very well from your occupation.
I am NOT ashamed of who I am and where I came from or what I am doing on here in cyberspace or on the earth. It is like I have told everyone over and over again, you don't like what I post, don't answer with a comment or reply, just let it die a natural death. It will slide right off the first page and be gone.
I am accused of things on this site I have never even thought of doing or saying, certainly by people who should know better as a general rule as decent common courtesy to others. I would NEVER plaster someone's real name or location on this site or any other site no matter how upset I was with them at any time. period. I don't use my real name for just that reason, although some of the forum bloggers may know it by this time. I would NEVER give out a person's contact email ever, unless I was told it was okay, or a phone number. You just don't do this to people in cyberspace or elsewhere. You might end up getting someone hurt or killed by a whacko reading what you wrote. This is why I was so upset about what was happening on the forums. I am sure any sane person could understand this common sense reasoning.
Most of my posts/blogs are just bantering back and forth with people to get a point across, or to get them to think outside the box, to question their stance on things. I have learned MANY new things since reading some of the things you all have written about. It has been a help to me many times. I have even picked up some of y'all's words and phrases or terminology and use it in my posts. I might even say it the same way you do or change it around to suit myself. It does not mean I am the same poster or have 50 usernames on here. Geez, what a jump of the imagination that would be for me or anyone to maintain.
I respect most of y'all and like you. I am not the smartest person in the world, neither am I the dumbest. I hope you understand me a little better. I am here for a reason and it has nothing to do with what I am being accused of doing. I have good intentions. Maybe, it is just the generation gap or something which makes most everyone think I am a tottering old fool. I am more a grandmother or mother type to you all. Well, old ladies get the blues, the highs, the urges to dance, party, sing, even smooch on the old man on occasion. I ain't dead yet!
I am still learning new things about computers, blogs, web design, videos, on line programs, converting old movies to dvds, etc.,etc. This stuff fascinates me, old as I am. Please do me a favor in the future, read between the lines what I write before you start calling me names. I will do the same. You take care and thanks for the good wishes. I sincerely appreciate them. Remember, people, places, and things are not always what they seem. Some people appear good and decent who are not and vice versa. Give me the benefit of the doubt most of the time on the good side. I will do the same for you. I do not except everyone on this site to like me but I sure don't expect everyone to hate me or honestly believe in their hearts I hate them, I DO NOT hate many things, but I do dislike a few things and some people are included, too. Cheers, Peach

Your Reviews
"Caution : Hilariously funny!!!…"
Police, Crime & 999" chronicles the true story of a life in the year of a frontline officer,PC John Donoghue. I had been promised inside access into what really happens behind the scenes of the UK's Law and Order Enforcement and the book certainly delivered!From royal arrests to chasing vampires, incontinent business women to Tourette's afflicted pensioners,bombers to irate barber shop customers, mad axemen and 'celebrating' corpses, this book had me GUFFAWING out loud with laughter!!! I'm talking tears streaming down my cheeks, sides splitting. It's hysterically funny!!!!!!!!!
It was certainly very refreshing to read a police book that is written from the humorous perspective of the job. Although extremely funny and very eloquently written, this book is also deeply revealing, moving and thought provoking. It's a treasure trove of a book and I urge you to read it. Utterly brilliant!!!Read moreLess

"Just fantastic! When my husband grinned and showed me his…"
Just fantastic!
When my husband grinned and showed me his latest purchase, it looked to me as if he has bought a gritty men only view of modern policing. Yawn!
However, after I got tired of him giggling away and quoting passages out to me, I stole it off him and had a look myself ... and what a joy to find out what's within.
It's funny, addictive and insightful, packed full of sharp observational humour, witty one liners and all told in a charming self mocking style.
I found it a refreshingly different book and I can genuinely say I have not read a book like it before.
Neither have I laughed so much for a long time. In fact, if you are embarrassed by involuntary bursts of laughter it's probably best not to read this one in public or you could end up red faced.
A fantastic light read... I loved every page of it.Read moreLess

Vegetarians and vegans who tire of being an afterthought (here's the sides menu!) will find a welcoming spot here. Not only is the menu meatless, but the dining room, inside the Hotel California, is a stately wood-panelled affair. Organic and seasonal ingredients include wordly-influenced dishes such as rice flour and coriander seed–crusted oyster mushrooms; pumpkin tamales; and, a gnocchi dish with an Alfredo-esque eggplant cashew cream sauce. The "Frugal Foodie" three-course menu is available Sunday through Wednesday (raw also available with advance notice).

While attending a meeting in San Francisco, a vegetarian friend of mine suggested Millennium for dinner. The entire experience was outstanding. There was a great variety of dishes on the menu, and a very helpful staff who explained what the foods were. When my Indian colleague wanted extra hot sauce, the chef prepared a small cup for his use. I can easily say that I had a great meal, and didn't miss my usual piece of fish or meat.
No Thanks

Double Wall Glass Mug (Set of 2)

• Double wall insulating Borosilicate glass for both hot and iced tea • Eliminates condensation • Dishwasher Safe
More About This Product
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS Width: 3½" Length: 3½" Height: 4¼"
What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
Glass Mugs
Though one of my mugs cracked after very little use, The Republic of Tea took the initiative and replaced them immediately. The new ones are somewhat thicker glass and will more than likely stand the test of time. Nice to know The Republic of Tea stands behind the products it sells! Excellent customer service!
My favorite mug
I love that these mugs do not get hot to the touch but still keep my tea hot. These mugs also clean up very easily. I am planning on buying a set for my sister for Christmas.
Excellent mug
I love this mug. It keeps my coffee or tea hot longer than any other mug or cup. It is just the right size for me; not too big, not too small. I am so glad I ordered this but don't know what took me so long.
Price, style, packaging, design and double-wall were all excellent. BUT THE CUPS ARE TOO LARGE for s slow sipper like myself. From now on I shall always purchase cups holding less than 10 ounces!!!
Lovely cups
Wonderful cups. Pretty to look at and practical as well.

Overall, this is a nice apartment complex. The location is great; freeway access is pretty easy and there's plenty of shopping and dining within a 5-10 min drive. The grounds are well cared-for, and nicely landscaped. Over the winter, snow was cleared very promptly. I haven't had any safety concerns while living here. The apartment itself is fairly spacious with the exception of the kitchen which is galley-style and also houses the washer/dryer. There is not much kitchen counter space, even less if you choose to own a microwave. The walls and floors are well-insulated against noise from the neighbors; occasionally you can hear cabinets banging shut or the washer/dryer running, but I have never heard voices, music or TV noise coming from neighboring units. The baseboard radiant heat is effective, although a little noisy at times. It was very convenient to have the heat and water included in the rent. The electric bill averaged $40-45 a month through WE-energies. I have not made any maintenance requests during my 10 months here, so I cannot comment on the responsiveness of the maintenance staff. Basic upkeep appears to be taken care of, though: Roofs and gutters have recently been replaced and several driveway repairs were made last fall. My biggest complaint is that odors seep into my apartment from other units, and I frequently get wafts of stale cigarette smoke or cooking odors.

I lived there for 8 years. In that time, management has responded to an emergency plumbing need at midnight, taken care of repairs within 24 hours, works hard to remove snow, and keeps the grounds in beautiful condition. I have never had any problems with any of the neighbors. People keep to themselves or respond in a friendly manner when spoken to. I have never been spoken to rudely by management. My only caveat is that the rent is a little high for the condition of the apartments. However, this current management is replacing roofs, adding gutters, and re-grading areas that flood. I can only assume that they will be updating apartments as renters turn over. I got everything I needed and wanted from this company. I recommend it.

Do not rent. Very rude. The residents are even worse. Nosy. Always goving you weird stares. The management harrassed my mom who has lived therr for 7 years. She was short on her rent 4 dollars by mistake and they sent her a letter complaining about it. Her lease includes s parking spot and one winter, they towed her car away cuz she coild not move it into another spot. When we inquired as to who towed it so we could get it back the manager refused to gives us the info. They are crooks. They charge my mother 885.00 per month for a small 2 bed. Thats a house payment!!!! As soon as she is able she is moving. Trust me. Do not rent this crappy apartment

Four out of five executives agree: choosing the cloud is a smart value proposition.
Research from Host Analytics and conducted by Dimensional Research found that for four out of five business execs, the cloud is chosen for its value over any other factor, according to an article on CloudComputingNews.net.
A similar number of employees surveyed said that it's beneficial for them to use cloud applications.
The research talked to more than 300 CIOs and business executives and found various benefits to cloud adoption, which may perhaps shift the balance as IT budgets are being prepared for 2013.
When asked for the reasons a cloud app was chosen over other, on-premise options, the disparity between business executives and CIOs was stark.
Value was the obvious factor for execs (80%), whereas compliance was the most important component for CIOs (58%); value (53%) and greater competitive advantage (51%) completed the top three.
Compliance is a vital and underrated reason for utilizing the cloud. Sixty-one percent of survey respondents said they have out-of-date, business-critical software, and 14% said their on-premise software hadn't been upgraded in four or more years.
More than one in three CIOs stated that while their company didn't have plans for any solution, the cloud seemed a better fit.
Health Care Cloud Computing Market Continues to Grow
Cloud computing will continue to play a larger role in hospitals and health-care facilities in 2013 and beyond.
The cloud computing market in health care is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 20.5 percent from 2012 to 2017, according to an article on DigitalJournal.com.
Cloud services are expected to help offset costs related to compliance while providing physicians and patients instant access to medical records.
Health-care organizations typically contend with limited budgets to meet increasing product and service demands, while complying with new regulations and health care reform legislations. Many health-care organizations are also struggling to manage and optimize their complex IT systems, so that patients and physicians can be provided instant online access to information, products and services through their desktops and mobile devices - for faster health care delivery.
All these requirements have driven health-care organizations towards adoption of cloud technology and are expected to contribute to its growth in the near future. The market in 2011 was dominated by Non-Clinical Information Systems, contributing the largest share, although the market for Clinical Information Systems is expected to grow at a higher CAGR of 27.1 percent from 2012 to 2017.
North America accounts for the largest share in the cloud computing market, with the U.S. being the largest contributor to this region. Europe's share is expected to decrease to 16% by 2017 due to the lack of government regulations as stringent as that of the U.S. and since the healthcare industry has been latent to adopt technology. North America is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 23.8%.
Cloudant Expands Global Reach Through Collaboration With Rackspace
Cloudant has moved into a new realm, announcing it has joined the Cloud Tools program for Rackspace Hosting, the open cloud company.
The company also revealed the immediate availability of its NoSQL database as a service (DBaaS) for Web and mobile applications across the global Rackspace open cloud, according to an article on TalkinCloud.com.
The collaboration allows developers using Rackspace's open cloud to benefit from Cloudant as an application data layer that scales up or down on-demand through a simple management interface.
"Now that Cloudant is working with Rackspace, our customers have even more choices for dedicated, global cloud hosting of their data," said Cloudant CEO Derek Schoettle. "Cloudant customers deploy highly distributed, data-intensive, real-time applications, which is an ideal fit with Rackspace open cloud's global reach and tremendous performance."
The Cloudant Data Layer is a collection of database clusters that are hosted and scaled across multiple Rackspace data centers around the globe. With a CouchDB-compatible, RESTful JSON API, an incremental MapReduce engine, and built-in full-text search based on Apache Lucene, Cloudant delivers low-latency, highly-available data layer performance and pushes dynamic data distribution closer to the network edge.
Agile, which started in the development organization, has gradually expanded into other areas downstream - namely IT and Operations. Teams – then teams of teams – have streamlined processes, improved feedback loops and driven a much faster pace into IT departments which have had profound effects on the entire organization.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to methods of heating the surface of various materials, including floors, walls, roofs, countertops, and antenna dishes. Specifically, the invention relates to methods of heating the surface of a material by applying a heater element, such as a laminated composite heater element, to the particular surface and energizing the heater element.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A variety of heater elements exist in the prior art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,534,886, to Kraus et al., discloses an electrically conductive web composed of a non-woven sheet of conductive fibers and non-conductive fibers. The sheet is saturated with a dispersion containing conductive particles and is then dried. The Kraus et al. heater element is used primarily in heating pads.
International Application No. PCT/US94/13504 (Publication No. WO95/15670) discloses an electrically conductive composite heating assembly. The assembly has an electrically conductive non-woven fiber layer laminated between layers of fiberglass and other dielectric material. The assembly further has an abrasion resistant outer layer. The heater element is used on aerospace structures as an ice protection system to withstand the repeated mechanical stress and thermal cycles encountered in extremely harsh aerospace environments.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,344,696 to Hastings et al. discloses an integrally bonded laminate that is used to thermally control a surface of an aircraft to which the laminate is bonded.
None of the prior art heater elements, however, have been successfully applied to heat the surface of a floor, wall, roof, countertop, or an antenna dish.
The present invention comprises a method for heating the surface of a solid material, such as a floor, wall, roof, countertop, or an antenna dish. The method comprises providing a heater element, disposing the heater element at a predetermined depth in the material, and energizing the heater element at prescribed intervals and temperatures, effective to heat the surface of the material.

FIG. 9 is a perspective partial cut-away view of the antenna dish of the invention shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
The present invention comprises a method for heating the surface of a material, such as a floor, wall, roof, countertop, or antenna dish. The method comprises providing a heater element, disposing the heater element at a predetermined depth and location in the material and energizing the element at prescribed intervals and temperatures that are effective to heat the surface of the material.
The heater element of the present invention is a laminated composite, impermeable to water, and is of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,344,696 (Hastings et al.), which is incorporated herein by reference. As disclosed in the Hastings et al. patent, the heater element comprises a durable outer ply that is resistant to abrasion and impermeable to water. The outer ply is bonded to and through a conductive layer of fibers and an integrally enveloping adhesive, which is adhered to the surface of a vessel. The conductive layer is connected to a source of electrical energy, and control means are adapted to control the temperature of the surface of the vessel. This laminated structure is considered preferable; however, it is contemplated that other structures may be used. For example, the heater element need not be a laminated structure. Rather, the heater element may comprise merely a layer of conductive fibers. This structure of the heater element is particularly useful if the material into which the heater element is embedded has dielectric properties that protect persons and property from electrical shock while evenly distributing the heat generated by the element.
The preferred heater element is available under the trademark THERMION which is manufactured by Aerospace Safety Technologies, Inc. THERMION is light, flexible and may be translucent. This particular heater element is composed of a hybrid, nickel-coated, carbon fiber processed by current textile art into a thin, conductive, non-woven fabric. The material is a laminate that provides even heating and can be conformed to surfaces having a variety of different contours and shapes. Operational power can be derived from low or high voltage AC or DC power supplies.
As discussed above, the heater element may comprise a layer of conductive fibers that are directly embedded into the material. However, in this instance, the material must possess sufficient dielectric properties to protect persons and property from electrical shock and to distribute the heat generated by the fibers evenly to the surface of the material. Thermoplastic materials typically possess these properties.
The heater element is disposed at a predetermined location and depth in the material. The depth and location may vary according to the particular material and type of heating required.
1. Residential/Commercial Building Use
The thin, unobtrusive nature of the heater element makes it suitable for use in ceramic and marble tile, solid surface materials, Formica, linoleum, and any other floor, wall, roof, or counter covering available. The essential steps of the method of the present invention can be performed in several different ways.
A first variation in the method involves installing in the surface a pre-made panel, usually configured on a mold table for easy transfer to the final surface. As shown in FIG. 1, the pre-made panel comprises a fiberglass resin encapsulated heater element 1, further encapsulated in two fiberglass/resin cloths 5 and 5'. The pre-made panel also contains electrical leads (not shown) attached to the heater element. The electrical leads extend outside of the panel and are attached to an electrical power supply. The laminate optionally can be constructed with multiple layers of the fiberglass resin encapsulated heater element 1. The multiple-layered heater element can provide greater control over the heat output from the assembly.
FIG. 1 shows how a single layer pre-made panel is formed on a transfer table. The fiberglass resin encapsulated heater element 1 is placed on top of a mold table surface 9. A mold release wax 15 is disposed between the encapsulated heater element 1 and the table surface 9. A peel ply 19 is placed above the encapsulated heater element 1. A release ply 21 is disposed above the peel ply 19 and a bleeder cloth 25 is disposed over the release ply 21. Finally, a vacuum bag 29 is disposed over the release ply 21. A seal tape 11 surrounding the layers on the mold is attached to the table top surface 9, and can adhere to the vacuum bag 29 to create a tight seal. A vacuum supply 33 is used to evacuate the air between the layered material in order to bring the layers into close contact with each other and cure the resin, bonding the layers to create the laminate.
Referring to FIG. 2, a pre-formed panel may be installed below a variety of covering surfaces, such as ceramic, marble, or similar paver tiles. In a tile and grout environment 101, the sub-base, whether it is a floor or countertop, may first be covered by a particle board underlayment 100. Some builders choose not to use an underlayment, but its purpose is to aid in leveling the floor and build uniformity. A vapor barrier and one or more concrete base products are then applied over the underlayment set. At a minimum, the concrete 102 should be at least 1/2 inch thick for standard wet/dry environments, such as kitchen and bathroom floors and counters (see FIGS. 2 and 3). For standing water conditions, such as showers and exterior areas, the layer must be at least twice this thickness. Concrete serves a dual purpose. It limits the surface flexing and also acts as a water barrier. The vapor barrier further prevents water from passing to the wood below either by sweating or cracking of the concrete. A heater element 104 is disposed above the concrete base 102. The heater element 104 optionally contains a syntactic film layer 106 on the back/bottom side for bonding the element 104 to the concrete base 102. Film layer 106 replaces the mastic that would otherwise be required to set heater element 104 in place. Without a bonding film layer, the installer would smear the concrete base with a thin layer of mastic, alternatively referred to as 105, apply the heater element from edge to edge, minimizing air pockets, and roll the element flat against the concrete base 102. Once the heater element 104 is set, the normal process of installing tiles 101 can continue. If necessary, the panel may be punched with suitable tools to create holes or other shapes, as needed, and edge finished to protect against electrical shock. The holes, depending on their relative size and location, will have minimal to moderate effect on the heat output of the device.
As depicted in FIG. 3, the heater element 104 can be installed under a countertop layer 108, such as a FORMICA or linoleum top layer, in a manner similar to tile, although the concrete base and vapor barrier are no longer required. In addition, FORMICA/linoleum installation generally utilizes contact adhesives which require additional processing known to those skilled in the art.
A second variation in the method of the present invention involves simultaneously constructing the composite heater element 104 at the time the floor, wall, roof, or countertop material is constructed. For instance, the composite in FIG. 3 may be constructed on the sub-surface 109 simultaneously as the other layers of material are applied over the heater element 104. This second method is particularly useful in the construction of formica and metal countertops. This method is advantageous in that custom-shaped heater elements may be easily incorporated below the finished surface of the material. For example, in the case of wood/concrete substrates, custom-shaped heater elements may be bonded under the finished surface of the material. In carrying out this method, the heater element is disposed on a solid, clean surface, and epoxy resin is applied to bond the element to the material. The composite may also be vacuum cured and heated, if desired. The vacuum process regulates the heater resin content in conjunction with the fiberglass selected. After the curing process is complete, the top surface of the material may be finished, as desired. In the case of FORMICA, a contact adhesive is applied between the element and the top surface before they are joined. Thereafter, the composite is rolled to complete the process.
As depicted in FIG. 4, a third variation in the method of the present invention involves providing a heater element 104 without the fiberglass outer layers or resin and encapsulating the element 104 within the finished material at the factory/production level. Such an installation is suitable for solid surface 112 materials such as CORION or any other thermoplastic formed item that has sufficient dielectric strength to isolate the electric heater element from the surface, and that allows cohesive bonding through the heating element. Most structures developed by liquid process molding are excellent candidates. The placement of the heater element 104 can be accurately controlled providing heat as near to the surface as is practical and safe. Using standard counter depths, the heaters can be pre-formed to run front to back allowing the surface to be cut to length, and end finished. A front to back orientation refers to the direction of current flow.
Different configurations of heater placement and orientation may be accomplished at the time of production, allowing for custom needs. Some circumstances may require surface heating in localized areas, for instance, the areas around a sink or other fixtures. The heater element may, therefore, be precut to any particular pattern and may contain holes or cuts, as is necessary. For a field modification to a solid surface application, the surface could be cored within certain dimensions and edge finished, having minimal to moderate effect on the heater's performance.
Additional residential/commercial building applications include roof deicing as shown in FIG. 5 and concrete walkways as shown in FIG. 6. These applications could use the pre-made panels for convenience and quick installation. Such roof applications are suitable for neoprene, hot mopped, shingled or even metal style roofs. FIG. 5 shows a typical application of the heater element 104 to a roof. Listed from bottom layer to top layer, the typical roof heater comprises a wood sheeting substrate 109, felt paper 113, heater mastic 111, the heater element 104, and the finished roof layer 115. The finished roof layer 115 may be constructed of typical roof finish materials, such as neoprene rubber, metal, or the like.
Application of the heater element in a concrete walkway is depicted in FIG. 6. The walkway contains a perforated panel 114, laid during construction over and above, or in place of, a remesh/rebar 116. The heater element 104 is perforated to allow cohesive bonding of the aggregated concrete 114 through the panel. Finally, a top layer of concrete is disposed above the element.
The heater element may also be applied to rain gutters. Such application may be completed by use of any of the methods discussed. The particular method chosen depends on the installation and gutter product selected.
The heater element may be applied to mirrors. Mirror application to prevent fogging is an example of a simple back side bonding. The heater may be a pre-formed panel or a formed-in-place installation. For radiant heat applications the methods are no different only the object selected to encase the material vary. Besides the possibility of heated pavers, diffused panels for a green house can incorporate the heated panels. The panels can be of simple or complex design and may provide winter environmental control and snow removal. Additional greenhouse installations could provide local heating as well for particular applications, such as lighting pairs for ice/snow protection and for heating/environmental control.
In another embodiment, the invention concerns a method for heating the surface of an antenna dish to prevent and control the formation of ice on the surface of the dish. In this embodiment, a heater element is incorporated into a composite that forms the surface of the antenna dish or the entire antenna dish. The heater element is composed of a layer of conductive fibers, preferably metal-coated fibers.
As seen in FIGS. 7 and 9, the composite 150 is constructed by a process in which various materials, including the heater element, are layered over one another. In this process, the layers of the composite are cast in reverse order; the first layer cast in the process serves as the exterior surface of the final product. Specifically, in this process, a gel coat layer 120 is cast or sprayed upon a support carrier or mold (not shown). In the final antenna dish, the support carrier is removed and the gel coat 120 serves as the exterior finished surface of the antenna dish. The gel coat 120 protects the inner layers of the composite from the environment and also provides the surface of the dish with the necessary texture that enables the dish to function properly.
After the gel coat 120 is cast on the support carrier, a reflective fabric screen 125 is then disposed over the gel coat 120. The reflective screen 125 may serve as the transmitter or receiver of the antenna. A first layer 130' of resin and fiberglass "chop" (which consists of small strands of fiberglass) is then disposed over the reflective cloth 125 and allowed to set.
A heater element 135 is then disposed over the first fiberglass-resin layer 130'. The heater element 135 can be made of fabrics, such as THERMION, a man-made metal-coated fiber. Other fibers, such as natural metal-coated fibers, non-coated conductive fibers, metal-coated non-conductive fibers, and metal-coated conductive fibers are all possible candidates with suitable properties for most composite constructions. When used in an antenna dish, the conductive fiber material should possess certain characteristics so that the heater element can efficiently heat the surface of the dish. For example, the conductive fiber material should be light weight, produce even heating, have a minimal thickness, and possess low thermal inertia. A conductive fiber material having low thermal inertia heats up and cools down quickly when the power is turned on and off, respectively. This quickness in heating and cooling facilitates greater control over the distribution of heat generated by the element. In a preferred embodiment, the conductive fiber material is approximately 0.022 ounces per square foot in weight and has a thickness of approximately 0.004 inch.
A second layer 130" of resin and fiberglass chop is disposed over the heater element 135 and is allowed to set. Finally, a backing substructure 145 is disposed over the second fiberglass resin layer 130". The substructure 145 may be constructed of balsa wood or other like materials.
The fiberglass resin layers 130' and 130" provide structural support to the antenna dish and also electrically insulate the heater element 135 from the reflective fabric screen 125 so that they do not electrically interfere with each other or create a short circuit.
For designs incorporating THERMION as the conductive fiber layer 135, one or two layers of resin and fiberglass chop should be positioned between the THERMION heater element 135 and the reflective cloth 125, depending on the conductive properties of the reflective cloth and the dielectric properties of the resin and fiberglass chop layer(s) 130'. In either case, the THERMION heater element is incorporated into the laminate and separated by the fiberglass resin layers 130' and 130" from the dish surface and from other conductive materials in the composite to prevent electric shock and short circuiting. Layers of fiberglass, or other fabrics having electrically-insulating properties are suitable dielectrics once encased in resin. Heaters can be configured in several different arrangements. Vertical panels, such as those shown in FIG. 8, are preferable. In FIG. 8, vertical panels 135 are disposed over approximately 75% of the surface area of the dish. The amount of the surface area covered by the vertical panels may be varied depending on the particular application. The heater elements embedded within vertical panels 135 can efficiently heat the entire surface of the dish.
The heater element 135 is connected by wire and/or conductive ribbon to a suitable electric source (not shown), which provides the electrical power to heat the surface of the antenna dish. The power may be controlled by a simple on/off switch or by a more complex temperature/power controller that measures and monitors a number of parameters, including the atmospheric conditions in the vicinity of the antenna dish and the surface temperature of the dish. The controller also adjusts the power delivered to the heater element 135 to control the heat generated by the element in response to the surface temperature of the dish and the existing climate. Controllers that accomplish these tasks are known by those skilled in the art.
Power requirements depend on the amount of heat needed, the size of the dish, and the available power supply. Wires and cables meet at a central controller housing near the dish and provide the necessary timing and temperature response signals to the source of electrical power.

A Nevada forced parental notification bill unexpectedly cleared a legislative hurdle Thursday and appears set for a committee hearing next week.
State Sen. Lee Bright (R) attempted to filibuster the bill because he claimed the amendments were too lenient on pregnant people.
The much-ballyhooed bipartisan bill has provisions that alarm civil liberties and victims' advocates.
The governor's executive action is in response to the failure of the GOP-majority state legislature to pass the so-called Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act, which would codify discrimination of LGBTQ people by those who oppose marriage equality.
Republicans in the Maine legislature are pushing forward a TRAP bill that would task the state Department of Health and Human Services with creating new licensing requirements targeting abortion clinics across the state.
Tennessee joins 26 states that require waiting periods prior to having an abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
While anti-choice legislation was supposedly not a top priority for lawmakers, the inability to pass any anti-choice proposals might be surprising given Republican majorities of 116-44 in the house and 25-9 in the senate.
Virginia Clinics Navigate Changing TRAP Law: 'I Feel Like I'm Digging a Hole Just to Fill It Back In'
The burden of TRAP regulations in Virginia was lightened in early May, when Attorney General Mark Herring clarified that existing clinics can be grandfathered into the law's architectural component. Still, challenges persist.
South Carolina state Sen. Lee Bright, an ardent anti-choice Republican, filibustered a bill Thursday to ban abortion 20 weeks post-fertilization. The measure, he said, is too lenient because it included exceptions for rape, incest, and fetal anomaly.
Twelve states have enacted such policies, which require doctors to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital, and they are in effect in five states. But the seminal questions are: Does this requirement benefit women? And what are the costs to women and providers?
