Go to your local fish store and ask to look at their aquariums.Originally Posted by geraldatwork
I made a print washer from an aquarium, an old tray washer (I use the part that fits on the faucet and the tube that the water comes out of), a small waterproof pump (at $35 the most expensive component and really not necessary) a clear hose, and some plexiglass. It works very well. Do the prints stick to the sides? Sometimes. I stick my hand in and move them when it happens. For 1/100th of the price of a new one I can live with a little inconvenience. I also wash my 4x5 sheet film in it. I can do 20 sheets of 4x5 or 10 8x10 at a time, though I only do 6 because that is the number of btzs tubes I have. I recommend trying it if you want to save some money. I think there was a thread about these here about two months ago.
Best of luck,

How about increasing power without substituting mileage? (Mileage is the primary concern for me.)
I understand that, TH. A lot of people have their attention on mileage. JJ said this the other day. I don't think I can say it any better.

That quote, and what he said a couple of posts ago pretty much cover it. These devices work when you accelerate. You know, when you advance the throttle from a steady speed cruise, or pull away from an intersection.
During those times, the IICE Air products cause the ECU to inject a little more fuel for the same throttle setting. The rest of the time, like JJ says, they do nothing.
Note: Those statements about how the IICE products work put it almost too simply, while still being true. The simple and overwhelming truth is, the rider really does make his own MPG.
Originally Posted by

If you want to create more power the ONLY way to do so is by using MORE fuel. You can't get something for nothing.
Those are fundamental truths, Tommy. To say otherwise would be to say, "The more ice cream you eat, the more weight you'll lose."
On a bone stock 1150, I can get 50mpg, or 28mpg. There are a lot of ways to get low mileage. For example, the difference between riding at 60, verses riding at 85, is about 12mpg. If you wick it up to 100+ you can watch the gas gauge.

THE moon robot has come back to life – kind of. China's first lunar rover, Yutu, also known as Jade Rabbit, phoned home last week, shortly after some had given it up for dead. It's unclear how the rest of the mission will fare.
Yutu's parent craft – the Chang'e-3 lander – touched down on the moon on 14 December and released the rover. Trouble came six weeks later, at the start of its second lunar night. On the moon, night lasts for half of each Earthly month and surface temperatures plunge to below -180 °C, during which time the rover and lander hibernate. As night rolled in on 25 January, Yutu seemed to have failed, but mission operators had to wait until lunar dawn to check.
On 12 February, the Chinese ECNS news agency reported that efforts to reactivate the rover were unsuccessful, and many assumed it was dead. The same day, another news agency, Xinhua, reported that the Chinese space agency had received a signal, as did a website that tracks amateurs monitoring for radio signals from space.
It is still not clear whether Yutu is able to carry out orders from mission control. Even if it is the end of the road for Yutu, China's space adventure is just starting – the country wants a crewed lunar base. And the rover leads a new wave of moon exploration. Private firms (see "Sports drink could be first commercial moon delivery") have moon plans, as do the US, Russia, India and South Korea.

So I've been thinking, with all the entertainment going on, it's starting to feel like the Golden Age of Disneyland again. Some of you remember the late 90s, when we had Lion King Celebration by day and Electrical Parade by night marching down Main St., along with Pocahontas at the Fantasyland Theatre, Hunchback in the Festival Arena, Fireworks in the skies, and Fantasmic at the River. Not to mention the smaller entertainment pieces throughout the park.
Now this summer, we have Celebrate (as awful as it is) on Main St., Aladdin in the Hyperion, Princess Tiana's show in NO, Fireworks and Fantasmic still going strong, Pixar Parade (again...only so so, but there nonetheless) and at looong last World of Color, along with the Glow Fest. Is it me or all we finally starting to see a bit of the Can't-do-it-all-in-one-day experience we grew up, where there was always something to see and do? I'm excited by this, and hope that the park continues in this direction.

Camarillo, Calif., Sept. 19, 2012 – A powerful exhibit created by CSU Channel Islands (CI) students and faculty that presents the history and legacy of Mexican farmworkers known as "braceros" has found a fitting home. "The Braceros of Ventura County" will go on permanent display this fall at Piru's Valle Naranjal, a new farmworker housing community built on an old bracero campsite.
Built by Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation, Valle Naranjal will provide state-of-the-art rental housing for 66 low-income farmworker families. The community brings new life to the historic site of the Piru Labor Camp, known as "El Campo," which housed thousands of workers during the largest guest-worker program in U.S. history. From 1942-1964, the bracero program brought more than 4.5 million Mexican workers into the U.S. – more than 20 percent of them to Ventura County.
The CI exhibit documents their stories in posters, photos, replicas, artifacts and interactive displays. A multi-year project of CI Professor of Chicana/o Studies Dr. Jose Alamillo and his students, the exhibit has been revamped to reflect the history and setting of its new home in Piru.
"The location on the site of the former labor camp makes it a living museum that blends the past, present and future," said Alamillo. "Valle Naranjal is the perfect place for people to learn the history of the braceros, understand how they contributed to the economic vitality of the county, and see the contrast between what was here before and what's here now."
Three students in Alamillo's Chicana/o Studies 499: Community Engagement and Service Learning course spent the spring semester designing and building the exhibit specifically for its new home in Valle Naranjal. Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation provided the students with $10,000 and free reign to alter the Valle Naranjal community exhibition room.
"For us it was a real honor to have them do this work. And they embraced it with open arms," said Jesse Ornelas, Director of Real Estate Assets & Operations for Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation. "We felt it was a history worth documenting and I think, in the long run, the county will be well-served by it. People will walk out of the exhibit changed. They will see what transpired in the fields of California and in America. Here we have an exhibit that shows what it was and a new development that shows how it should be."
The students researched the Piru camp and its agricultural identity; recovered and displayed artifacts from its 53-history; interviewed braceros who lived there; and collected stories, photos and mementos from one of its former managers, Mary Guevara, the daughter of a bracero who ran the camp with her husband, Nacho, a former bracero himself.
For CI senior Maria Salas, a Chicana/o Studies and Spanish double-major, the exhibit was a proud and personal undertaking.
"My dad was a bracero and he was my hero," she said. "He passed away in 2005 at the age of 92. For me, this was such a wonderful way to honor him and all the braceros who changed the face of history. I'm very excited that this exhibit will provide a way for children in our community to learn about braceros and their contributions to our county."
Valle Naranjal opened to new residents during this past summer. On Sept.29th, the exhibit is expected to open to the public. Alamillo says CI students will begin offering guided tours to visitors and school groups and collaborating on a book about Ventura County braceros in future Chicana/o Studies courses.
The braceros exhibit got its start in 2008, when CI partnered with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History to help preserve the bracero experience. CI faculty, staff and students interviewed and documented the stories of dozens of braceros for the Smithsonian exhibit and also created a separate exhibit that focused on the braceros of Ventura County. Since the student exhibit debuted alongside the Smithsonian exhibit in 2010, it has been displayed at the CI library.
"We are proud of the partnership with Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation that has given this exhibit new life and an ideal venue reuniting it with the community and history from which it emerged," said Alamillo. "It is our hope that the exhibit at Valle Naranjal will preserve and honor the braceros' contributions and share their impact and legacy for generations to come."
For more information, contact Dr. Jose Alamillo, Associate Professor of Chicana/o Studies, at 805-437-2685 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Burton Ronin Cargo Pants
After doing some research, I decided these were the pants for me. I purchased them after the season ended, so I haven't tried them out yet. I wear size 36 jeans, so I ordered the XL's. The fit is a little loose, but should be perfect with long underwear.
Lots of pockets for storage. As expected, overall stitching and quality seem well above average. Excellent, quick service.

Q From George Mannes: Can you shed any light on the evolution of the word cop-out? Webster appears to define it as a confession of a crime to the police, but in my lifetime, every time I've heard it used it doesn't have that criminal connotation. I've always understood it to mean an evasive action or comment that avoids making a difficult decision.
A The Webster definition you mention refers to a much older form of the verb to cop out, which has had a variety of senses in American slang. Your form has evolved from it.
It's first recorded about the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, meaning to take something for oneself ("He simply can't lose, can't fail to cop out the best-looking girl with the biggest bank-roll in town". That's from The Fortune Hunter, by Louis Joseph Vance, published in 1910). This was based on one of the many standard English senses of cop — to snatch, steal or grab. Around the 1930s, cop out began to take on another of the senses of cop — to catch or apprehend (which is what a cop in the sense of a policeman does, a slang term which came from the same source but rather earlier). To cop out here meant to plead guilty, especially to a lesser charge as the result of plea bargaining.
The big change came in the 1950s. To cop out evolved to refer to making a full confession of some crime or misdemeanour, usually but not necessarily to the police. From this it moved to mean backing down or surrendering, or giving up your criminal or unconventional lifestyle; in the 1960s it developed still further to mean that a person was evading an issue by making excuses or taking the easy way out.
In parallel with this, your noun form, a cop-out, developed from the late 1950s onwards until it, too, became nationally known in the mid-1960s (and quickly spread to Britain and other countries, too) to mean an excuse, a pretext, a going back on your responsibilities to avoid trouble, a cowardly or feeble evasion.

Just as in yoga practice when PG, twisting at the waist should be avoided. Twisting can cause injury to the sacroiliac joint, which is more prone to injury during pregnancy:
The sacroiliac joint is one of those little known body parts that you don't meet until it rebels and lets you know there is a problem. The sacriiolic joint is kind of like the appendix in it obscurity, except the appendix gets a lot more press.
The sacriiolic is where the sacrum (at the base of the spine) and the ilium (of the pelvis) meet. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_jo...)
The sacriolic joint can normally move around (www.kalindra.com/pregnancy.pdf), but it is more apt to move, and cause pain, during pregancy.
According to Spine Health, the sacriolic joint "forms the functional unit of the pelvis that allows normal alternating movement during walking. As the pregnancy advances, hormonal changes prepare the pelvis for delivery of the child by loosening the strong ligaments that control the function of these joints" (www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/preg...).
It is normal for the sacriolic joint to become more unstable during pregancy, and this can cause pain on its own (Spine Health).
Add to that a spinal twist, and you could be in for a world of hurt, literally. Plus, you could have to endure two sessions of physical therapy a week while pregnant.
Because the sacriolic joint is already more pliable during pregnancy, you are better off skipping twist poses during yoga, as it could lead to real injury.

I did the same thing with my third pregnancy!! All was 100% fine, you just used muscles that are stretched a lot already and that haven't been used a bunch for a little while! Your fine!!!! LOL I had to laugh when I read this, because I did that exact same thing!
Swimming is a great exercice for while prego, and super safe!

-Room was spacious and comfortable
-bathroom had a window for extra light and ventilation
-Massage chair was a nice addition
-plenty of storage for clothing in dresser and closet
-plenty of parking
-beautiful view
-pool had plenty of seating and was well maintained
-fitness facility was easily accessible and met my needs
-short walk/drive to looking glass restaurant
-main bar with piano player was enjoyable
-could use more easily accessible outlets
-on two occasions (once in the fitness center, another in the main lobby) the water cooler did not have the cap removed by the staff. In the fitness center, I had to remove it myself and flip over the 5 gallon cooler. In the lobby I left it as is.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, lots of variety and plenty of room.
The hotel staff were very accomodating, and helpful in recommending local points of interest. The breakfast provided was excellent. The facility though it appears a bit dated is very well maintained. Would definitely recommend to a friend, and will revisit if we vacation there again.
The hotel is located about one mile from the main tourist trap area...My room had a sweeping view of the bay..The room itself was quite large and well furnished...The Staff were extremely polite and accomodating..
Very good room! They upgrated us to very nice room.
They made a mistake to charger us more. But they correct this problem.
We stayed here for two nights and chose this hotel because of the heated indoor pool. The pool was cold, maybe 65. Our room was dirty (hair in the shower among others), and the shower was not easily adjustable between hot and cold. Not to mention how small the bathroom was. This place needs some major updating from the decor to the mattresses on the bed. We paid $80/night which may or may not sound expensive, but personally, I'd rather pay a little more ($100+/night) and be comfortable.
Courteous, friendly, helpful front desk clerk. Heated indoor swimming pool, cable tv, Reasonable price. Rooms were dated but very clean.
Small tv, doors not shutting well, No hot tub, even though it is advertised on their website and in the rooms.
Very clean, comfy, accommodating, and in a great location next to the park entrance and town.
Wish they had more options for breakfast such as scrambled eggs and bacon, ham, or sausage. Lots of variety, but lacking in some breakfast foods.
Only hotel we found in Acadia National Park area open this early in the season (mid-April) with an indoor pool for the kids.
Worst breakfast we've experienced at any Hampton Inn. Definitely pre-cooked, frozen, and just reheated. Might have to do with this being the slow season at this particular location. Still better than any 'budget' motel free breakfast.
Excellent staff/breakfast and server at breakfast, clean facility, very comfortable bed.
No insulation under heat/ac unit, very very cold air came right in. Sensor over door turned off heat when there was no motion in the room- came back to 50 degree f room. No fan/vent in bathroom. Parking not very well plowed.
The Bar Harbor Motel isn't fancy, but it's clean, and the staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. I would characterize the motel as being great for families, or for hikers looking for a relatively inexpensive place to sleep and a free breakfast before hitting the trails at Acadia National Park. There are not many "creature comforts," but the beds are comfortable and the showers are hot, which is what hikers are really looking for. I would certainly stay there again.
I enjoyed the quietness. The Looking Glass restaurant was convenient and food was good. The King room was located at the end and only had one shared wall and was spacious. The other visitors were considerate. The view overlooked a lawn and offered no harbor view. This hotel is one of the stops on the free bus line. I kept my car parked the entire week Checkin/out was efficient and charges correct.
The continental breakfast area was cramped. The food typical fare of cereal, muffins, waffles, juice, coffee, hard boiled eggs and yogurt. I only ate there once.
The mattress was on its last season (I hope)
Location...on main st seconds to intersection of main and downtown park...5minute walk to harbor
Location and staff friendliness. Big room and big beds and the beddings are luxury
Bed's height that requires climbing in and out
Neat, clean, comfortable rooms with furnishings that looked new. Well maintained and quiet. Location was good as a grocery store, restaurants and other stores were within walking distance. Staff were very helpful and the free breakfast was good!

Dead Relatives' Junk
It's been more than 21 years since I cleared out my mother's home after she died. There wasn't much. She had known she was dying and had, apparently, got rid of all but bare essentials before she was too sick to handle the chore.
There was little I needed to do. Some of the furniture, other big items, the TV and the car went to friends along with the dollhouses she liked to build from scratch. Almost everything else went to a charity group or into a dumpster.
For myself, I set aside the family photo albums, some modest jewelry she owned and – inexplicably - a small footstool covered in a needlepoint scene of Versailles that my mother had made and a cheap, dime-store jewelry box.
I say "inexplicably" about those last two items because they are awful.
Since my mother has now been dead for more than two decades, today I am giving myself permission to say out loud that she had terrible taste. In pretty much everything.
That footstool wasn't the only needlepoint in her home – dozens of needlepoint pictures were framed on the walls. Scenic vistas, dogs, cats and I have forgotten which president of the U.S. but given her politics, I'm guessing it was Ronald Reagan.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the style of the furniture in her home but the brassy colors and mismatched patterns could make you dizzy.
In clothing too, she had no sense of either style or color. Zero. One of the things she did better than anyone else I've ever known is knit and over the years I received dozens of sweaters.
The basic styles were good – pullovers, cardigans, turtlenecks, etc. - all of them beautifully and perfectly constructed in various weights of wool so that they were (or, would have been) useful for different seasons of the year.
But every one was made in colors so garish they could have lighted up Times Square at night.
Unless the sweater was made of black wool (which I begged for now and then), it was unwearable.
Having said all that, maybe I should redeem my mother's taste a bit.
When I was going through the unpredictable hot flashes of menopause, I complained to her in a phone call that I was pained to have had to give up silk blouses, skirts, pants and dresses.
A few weeks later, a big box arrived from Mom. Inside were ten sweatshirts each a different color – nice colors, not wild and weird as the sweaters usually were. And sewn to the front of each sweatshirt was lace dyed to exactly match the color of the sweatshirt.
They were subtle and beautiful and fantastically useful in the circumstance of menopausal hot flashes. Worn under suit and other jackets, the shirts were perfectly acceptable for travel and business meetings and no one knew when I was drowning in sweat.
Anyway, back to that footstool and jewelry box.
Ever since my mother died those many years ago, I have been using that ugly jewelry box for my own earrings, pins and necklaces. And every time I open the drawer to choose something from that box, I tell myself it is time to let it go and buy my own.
That dreadful footstool – also shorter than what I prefer – still sits in front of a certain chair. I use it every other day when I do bicep curls during my morning exercise routine.
I tell myself I have other footstools I can use but then I picture myself tossing it into a dumpster. That doesn't feel so good. It feels no better when I think about trashing that tatty jewelry box.
This is just stupid. Do other people do this with parents' or other relatives' ordinary items after they die?

Of course they do.
When my son (now twenty), was a toddler, he was addicted to pacifiers.
One day, his day-care person, "Aunt Peg," decided the time had come to put away childish things.
She extracted the pacifier (which he called his "Bobber") from his mouth, and handed it to me.
Today, the "Bobber," sits in state, pacifying the other momentos in the bottom of my jewelry box, including with the tiny gold ring monogrammed with an "M," which my father gave to me when I was flour years old.
Hilarious -- but all it shows is that you are human!
Certainly I do. It gives me inordinate pleasure to fish my nail file out of the tacky plastic box that once held my mother's bobby pins and hair clips. (In her defense, though, I have to say her taste in general was pretty good and she had more style than I'll ever have!)
I still have a pencil from a craft thing my Mom did putting little wigs and wiggly eyeballs on pencils for toppers. It has sat in my pen jar since she died in 1993. But I also have her dolly and dolly carriage she had when she was four. And some of my kids' baby teeth. Tiny treasures stashed here and there.
I bet we all do it, when we are able.
I was an only child. When my mother died, I was left with the accumulation of a three story house in which my parents had lived 50 years and in which they had squirreled away a goodly collection of their parents' stuff. It took a month to sort through it and dispose.
Some of it was quite nice -- I am writing today on my father's desk, an impractical but lovely antique. (Here's a picture from "Where elders blog.")
Much of it was awful. Some of it I liked because it was so awful, in particular an overstuffed chair, the quality of whose upholstery most would call exquisite -- except that Mother had had it done in hideous blue naugahyde.
When my partner's mother died, we ended up with her mother's favorite chair, a wing back in lovely, patterned, cloth upholstery. In life they hated each other (really). We were amused to sit their chairs across from each for about a decade.
Just in the last year our current destructive cat has done in the cloth of the wing back, so we've finally had to undo the tableau. The chair is beyond saving. Cats!
By the way, my mother too had terrible taste. Unlike Ronni, I haven't improved things much. :-)
I live in a neighbourhood full of seniors and for some reason when relatives clear out the house I am the person of choice that they think they should hand stuff over to, not sure why. I don't have the heart to say I don't want things and I now have an entire china owl collection, huge piles of Tupperware and cake tins and pans going back more than 90 years. Last month I was given 10 year old bottles of honey and many ancient bags of frozen pecans. I will make bird food out of those offerings for the winter I guess.
Remember what our friend Duck said, "You don't have to caretake dead peoples stuff." My mother wasn't really likable, and I gave or lent out much of her stuff. What ever happened to it, completely ruined clothes for instance, I had to let go. Now Duck stuff. LOL I kept most of his stunning five and six foot tall needlepoint. His sunflowers fill my main stairs and bring a smile of joy to my face every time I see them.
I didn't need the Lemoges or Spode, but I needed the joy. Give the jewlery box and footstool to a charity thrift store.
I am a collector and I am from a family of collectors! I am currently moving after 11 years in my house. My Dad and I bought this house together in 2002 and combined our two households. My mother died in 1985. She was an antique collector and had wonderful taste - somewhat East coast and formal for my taste. But to this day I admire the workmanship and the beauty of the pieces I remember from my childhood that have survived my numerous downsizings.
I think we all have a complex relationship with our STUFF. I have always had a small family, and now at 63 I have almost no family except some cousins who do not live near me. But I sure have a lot of pictures, memorabilia etc. My relationship with my mother was not great, it is interesting that I am holding on to her "stuff".
Well, back to cleaning out drawers and shelves, packing and preparing to lose 600 square feet and go from a jam packed two car garage to a one car garage!
I would hope that everyone keeps something of their parents forever and forever. I, myself, have a favorite Vera t--shirt that my mother wore, and a favorite knit golf shirt that my father wore; and they have been gone almost 25 years.
I keep the family album, although I have only looked through it twice, but I will leave it to my heirs to do what they will with it..... they have never seen it, so they won't even know who the relatives are.... but I know, and so I keep it.
I have a pair of my father's glasses..... just have it in the back of a drawer, so that when I am looking for something, and see it, it brings a smile to my face.
It was their life; but it is ours, too!
Owls. I see from a comment above. And I pity my descendants. I had the misfortune to mention about a decade ago that my totem, my power animal, given to me by a shaman, was an owl.
Foolish me. I have since been inundated with owls. Every kind. Wood. China, feathered, plated, even rug-hooked, necklaced, earringed and painted and photographed.
I live in a nightmare. And everyone checks my walls and my bits to see the placement of theirs. Delighted with themselves. "I know you have enough but I couldn't resist this one.....".
Kill me now.
Oh yes. I have some of my father's more hilariously garish ties; a box of his favourite felt-tip pens that he wrote with his whole life, unopened; my mother's hair combs and ostrich leather handbag. I know with absolute certainty that I could never throw them out - but having had to clear out 40 years of accumulated junk out of my parents' house when they died, I also realise that no matter how much you love somebody, the stuff that THEY are obsessed with is not the stuff YOU are obsessed with - and my relatives will think the same of my stuff when I am gone.
"but given her politics, I'm guessing it was Ronald Reagan."
The only thing worse than a needlepoint Ronald Reagan is one painted on black velvet. :-)
My mother has been dead for 12 years. I have some of her not-very-special costume jewelry, a few necklaces, etc. in a tightly closed plastic bag. I'll never wear the stuff, it's not my style -- but her smell, fragrance, whatever rubbed off from her, is still discernible when I open the bag. I don't think I can ever give it away.
I was really proud of the job I did cleaning out my parents' house when I lived 1,000 miles away. I made lists, flew up for four-day clean-a-thons, and shipped back a carefully curated stash of mementos. I even "staged" the house a little, being true to my mother's formal East Coast taste, not mine, for when the antiques were all sold at auction.
Now, 12 years later, I wish I had tossed both less--and more. I threw out my mother's cookbook in a fit of exhaustion; what was I *thinking*? Kept the four guilt-inducing needlework projects, which I have absolutely no way to use, and too much costume jewelry I'll never wear--oh, for dumb!
I still use her "best" skillet and lots of her kitchen utensils, her last favorite couch throw, and the sewing box I gave her for Christmas when I was 10. It still has a faint fragrance of their last home, which is comforting in a strange way.
I found dealing with my dead parents' belongings one of my life's most poignant tasks, and I felt--at the time--that I was doing a respectful and practical job.
That is still mostly true, but 12 years on, I've concluded that there's no way to do this job so that it feels "perfect" for all time. Like so many things in life, we do our best and move on.
My parents have been dead for 35 years. I have very little of their possessions. My mother's sewing machine which I still use and my grandmother's treadle sewing machine and her family Bible.
What concerns me is the ordeal our daughter will have to go through cleaning out our house when we are gone. I am a cleaner-out person, but my DH keeps stuff "just in case." I tell him that on the off chance we ever need that little whatsit, we can buy one then. For all the good that does...Our poor daughter!
About all my Mom had left when she died at 94 was her clothing and a few utilitarian personal items. She'd been living with me and my brother, alternately, for three years. As a memento, I gave some of her blouses to my quilting enthusiast daughter who made them into a small wall hanging for me. That and a small china saucer I use by the stove for a spoon rest is all I have left of her things, but they serve as a daily reminder of her.
Nothing wrong with holding onto even an ugly item, if it makes you remember your loved one when you see it.
And to Barbara: Please, please, please write the names of the people in your photos on the back. Lightly in pencil. There will be someone in the future who will really, really want to know.
Somehow it is the ordinary bits that are so special to me. All I have of my father's things is the cloth handkerchiefs he had and a wool scarf. He died at age 56 back in 1971. I still smile when I see them in the drawer. And from my mother, a sweater that I wear, scissors that I use and a needlepoint that she made. They feel very special. I wouldn't have known and it even surprises me a little, but it helps to hold on to memories.
Surely we all keep something however insignificant. I can't imagine willingly letting go of every last thing ...
What I do have are things from my dear grandparents - a fantastic cast iron skillet which I use to make cornbread, a beautiful Chinese cinnabar bracelet, an old quilt, a couple of Victorian hat pins and a small moonstone ring, a necklace of real pearls. I live in a small place and prefer to keep my possessions to the minimum so there isn't much room and I never cared to keep anything from my parents.
One man's junk is another man's treasure.
I hung onto bits of precious from my mom after she died almost 40 years ago (she died early in life) and I wish I had hung onto more. What I hung onto were the little things. I love to just touch them. One day long after she was gone, I was sobbing and crying about my wrecked marriage and my overwhelming responsibilities for four little children. Rummaging through "her things" I found a little soft-back book of poems she had sent me and she had signed it: If I could be there with you right now, I would be.
I have my grandfather's WWI journal. I will hang onto it (he was a journalist) until I donate it to our home town historical society for safe keeping. In the meantime, I have a few xeroxed copies out there.
And my great grandfather's passport showing his travels in WWI, plus his scrapbook from that time.
We found some wall sized paintings and photographs in the attic when we cleaned before we sold. Showed them to Mom. "Who's that?" we wondered. The frames were awful, the people unknown, but throwing them in the dumpster was among the hardest things I've ever done.
Riverwatch--That brought tears to my eyes. "If I could be there with you right now, I would be."
I stash my nail polish and assorted manicure tools in a wooden pullout cutlery box.
It has a handle and once was inside my late grandmother's dining room cabinet.
And it reminds me of one cool woman from the greatest generation.
I endorse Joe's plea, Barbara. Annotate those photos. There will be someone, maybe as yet unborn, who will thank you for identifying their great great grandparent.
I get your post via email, and read them all if possible in my busy schedule. I marked this one as unread so that I could comment on this. I totally understand what you are talking about and going through. Wrote a poem on this so many years ago, that I think explains so much of what you were relaying. Thanks for such a wonderful post that touched my heart. Throwing Out The Trash

Wrote this while trying to collect and hold on to memories of family memories, as well as myself. Apparent, that we cannot keep everything, as much as we want to, but still try and cry, when we cannot.
Throwing Out The Trash
Nov 10, 2005
I organized my room today,
My space, my books, my collections.
And while I did, I threw a lot away,
It broke my heart while I did.
But, I had to, as a growing up process,
As I cannot keep everything, and
All for everyone, but I wanted to.
I had to do this, to find room concerning myself.
In search of myself.
It broke my heart, as I felt other hearts breaking.
And each time I threw it to my right,
I wondered if I would remember that I
Kept it in my sight, and years to come. And theirs.
But, I did it, it meant something to me
In life, and others with memories I keep in store.
I got on the floor, on hands and knees,
And cried while I picked up the trash.
I cried while I picked up the memories
Even though they were not mine,
They were someone's important memories,
And I guess I cried, as I wanted to
Hold on for them, and me.
Katie Fairchild
Very touching and so true for many of us, Katie. The reason why doing this is often avoided, I think.
And yet, for me, letting go opens up to "Be Here Now." (Book by Ram Dass)

Very very nice theme. Good luck Bonsaished.
Thank You Kindly
Nice looking product and it is a bit unique too, good luck for sales.
Thanks a lot, we wanted a new spin in the WooCommerce area
good theme GLWS
Thank you so much
Amazing work! Very very well-done, warm and clean, excellently organised, without annoying effects, simply fine! Wish you good luck with sales and I am sure your buyers will stay happy with it.
Thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate it
Thanks so much for catching, that, we went in and fixed it up
nice work.. good luck!
Thank you
Add some more E-commerce features.Looks bit basic theme. A unique theme.
What features are you looking for We wanted a simple theme to start out with, we'll listen to our buyers and build in features as we go along
Nice work!
Thank You
Hey, do those graphics in the slider come with the theme??
Very nice by the way
Hi Mike,
Regretfully no, i wish i could draw like that would this be a deciding factor for you? You can buy the images for a couple of Dollars, let me know if you need the links
Thanks, I am pretty sure I will buy the theme…just need to sell to my customer. We will likely create our own images…but thought I better check first.
How did you get the windmill to turn?
Hi Mike,
Great, let me know if you need some links to the images. All the animation in there is done with Layer Slider the windmill is set to rotate something like 12000 degrees in 5 minutes. let me now if you need some more detailed info
Thanks Daniel, links would be great
Let me know if you need anything else
Very great work!
Thank You
thank you, George
*long descriptions
Hi George,
Thanks for letting us know about that bug! For now we've disabled the custom select box style which will make the functionality work
The animation is all thanks to the excellent Layer Slider. Wether you buy the theme or not, I highly recommend buying it, it is a great product All the animations were set up with Layer Slider alone.
I'm sure long descriptions and images will work just fine. We use WooCommerce, a free ecommerce plugin. I recommend installing it on a free theme, like the default twentythirteen theme, this will give you a feel for what it can do. I've added a small gallery to the Jam Product we have of course many more photos can be added and much longer descriptions
Sorry about our minimal content just now, the theme got accepted very quickly and we're still building a lot of extra content in. We have included sample content in the download file and we can send you the latest sample content upon request at any time
Let me know if you need anything else,
Thank you for you reply. The custom select box style was much better and I hope you find the cause of the bug and update it quickly If I may suggest, it would be even better if the user could see all the variations of the product (i.e. red/green/yellow apple) – as buttons with custom text for example – instead of a drop down list.
Hi gardegeo,
That falls under the purview of WooCommerce for now. It is definitely possible to do this, but in the first few days and weeks we'll be focusing on perfecting existing systems We're in it for the long haul so we want to make what we have perfect, and only then add stuff We will get there though, especially if you give us nice ideas like this one
Hello. Are the illustrations in the slider included?
Hi AliHarris,
Regretfully no. Would this be a deciding factor for you? We can either show you where we purchased them, or we can purchase an extended license and ask the author for permission.
Let me know,
Hi Daniel,
Is it possible to reduce the height of the images in the so that more content appears above the fold? What kind of customisation is offered on background images and colours?
Hi cecle,
Sure, the slider is completely customizable We support Layer Slider and Royal Slider officially, but any shortcode-based slider should work. Since then we've bought an extended license for Layer Slider which allows us to bundle the plugin to the theme. This is not in the downloadable package yet so if you buy the theme just let me know and I can send it to you
The background colors can al be changed (individually for the header, content and footer), and a background image can be used as well, either tiled or a large background image
Many icons and other design elements can also be uploaded easily
Let me know if you have any more questions
Hello, I'd like to know if this theme supports a sidebar where I can add widgets, let's say I want to create an about page, with a left side menus with widgets on it. Is that possible. Thank you!
Hi invisiblw,
Absolutely, in fact the front page of the demo has a sidebar On the right hand side everything under the vegetables is a sidebar and you see widgets there.
There is a text widget, a WooCommerce widget, a twitter widget and so on. You can choose the side you want the sidebar to be on and you can choose a different sidebar for each page if you wish
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Hi, thanks. Can that sidebar be on the left side?
Hi there,
Sure, you can choose a structure for each individual page. The sidebar can be on the left, on the right, or it can be disabled.
Love this theme! Perfect for my client's needs. Could you tell me what fonts you used for the demo? Thanks!
I'm so glad you like it Please consider rating it 5 stars if you really like it, it helps us boost sales
The site should come pre-configured with the fonts we use, it's Raleway for headings and Droid Sans for body text
Will do! And thanks so much – for some reason I ended up with basic Helvetica…been trying to figure them out!
Hmm, maybe it's set to Helvetica, sorry I'm not at home at the moment and my memory is somewhat lacking to say the least
Let me know if you need anything else!
Hi again Daniel, My client absolutely loves their new website! However, I have been unable to figure out one issue: on the product pages in the Shop, it is automatically displaying Related Products, but the images are pixelated. I couldn't figure out where to modify this (or disable that feature), or why the product image would display fine under the categories or its product page but not under Related Products. (aunteesherbaltouch.com) Thanks in advance for your help! Laura
Of course as soon as I ask I get it figured out, sorry! I still can't find where to control the display of the Related Products, but I managed to mess with the thumbnail settings and regenerate thumbnails to solve the resolution issue.
hi,how can i install organic plugins?i do not known shortcode
Hello The plugin should be included in the main package. Make sure you download all files, not just the installable theme. It should be in the bundled plugins folder, you can install it the regular way, by going to plugins and uploading the zip file
Just bought the theme and I had a question. Within 5 minutes I got an e-mail back with the answer. Thumbs up, for the theme and support.
Thank you kindly If you need anything else, we're right here
Hi Great theme and i buye it. But it will have great if you could use export slider settings export the orginal slide settings from your demo site and put out here and then it will be easy to create slider like in demo for your customer
Hi There,
Thanks for the purchase! The import/export problem is a limitation of the plugin I'm afraid, it's just not possible to do it at the moment easily. If the plugin author implements import/export we will include it in the theme contents.
Until then, if you import the demo sliders included in the slider package the third one is very similar to the one we made
Hi Daniel! I mean: if you export settings in Layerslider (it is an funtion for it in your Layerslider admin panel for each slider) it will bee easy for me to import it in my one Layerslider on my website and then it will be easy to get it look like exact like your header in your demo
Here is an example i made of my one version wery like your demo: http://www.fontenen.no/shop12/?post_type=product
Oh indeed, sorry! I understood earlier, I just thought this feature was not in the plugin, it wasn't in there a mont ago I think
In any case, if you still need the export, could you drop me a line via our contact form?
) its ok. I am familiar with Layer slider from before, so i can make it like i wanted for me self, but i think maybee it was an ide to put the export file in the theme when you sell it etc. For buers it is not familear with Layer Slider from before. Thanks a lot for an good Theme :)

I will definitely put the export in the next version, thanks so much for letting me know If you have any other questions let me know!
Hi, does the bundle come with all the farm landscapes as depicted in the demo?
Hi Shanyi,Yes, or at least the main image. Not all the images are bundled, but this one is: http://graphicriver.net/item/rural-landscape-windmill-tractor-field-sheep/2747911
Let me know if you have any more questions
Greetings, Do you have sample data by any chance, please? I am new to this and sample data would really help me learn how to use and modify this theme in WP. Thank you in advance! Sahelian
Hi There,
Yep, it's actually in the theme package you downloaded, it is an XML file you can import using settings->import in WordPress

33 year old woman | Boston, MA, USA | Seeking men 30-36 within 25 miles
We'll just tell people we met at a bar...
Well, here goes. I admittedly hate online dating. You could spend weeks talking to someone, only to finally go out with them and realize immediately you're not a match! Skeptical, I know. But, I'm 31 and looking for love, finally want to share my life with someone else, so I'm taking a risk. So, a little about me. I love my family and friends more than anything. Have two little nieces who I fondly refer to as my chicken nuggets and I'm obsessed with them, they're like my kids (but I get to leave when they poop or start crying, total bonus). I love to travel - it's probably the thing I'm most passionate about in my life. I lived in Nicaragua for six months before I came back to Boston and it was the most defining experience of my life. So, looking for someone who doesn't mind an occasional visit back to a village in the middle of nowhere, and who's up for exploring the rest of the world with me. Other must-knows: I'm a bit of a workaholic, I have a really high pressure job that requires me to travel...a LOT. Looking for an excuse to start saying no a bit more. Huge football fan, no way I'll miss a Pats game on a Sunday. Oh, and I think Justin Timberlake is the greatest musician on the planet. Yep, you read that correctly.
Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Basketball, Cycling, Football, Other types of exercise, Skiing
I like Dogs
Nicaragua is my second home. I lived there for six months several years ago and try to go back at least twice a year...it's rustic, but some of the most incredible people I have ever met live there and I just can't stay away!
Tufts University, Medford, MA
Travel is number one for me, absolutely love it and have been to probably 30 countries so far. Huge fan of sailing, practically grew up on a sailboat every summer. Love spending time with friends and family.

SELECTIVE BUYING CAMPAIGN TRANSCRIPTION Tape #2, Side A, Counter #650-665, length 38 seconds Background: Mr. Bryant described the segregation situation in 1968 Durham that prompted the six-month Selective Buying Campaign, which reformed treatment and employment practices and ultimately resulted in the positioning of blacks as store clerks and bank tellers, where before they had only been hired as elevator operators and maids. Mr. Bryant, as Secretary-Treasurer, played an integral role on the Executive Committee--along with other Civil Rights notables, Ben Ruffin (Executive Director) and Howard Clement (Chairperson). The Executive Committee met every Saturday and others participating in the campaign held weekly Sunday rallies at Durham area churches. Transcript: On Mangum Street, was a uh, place called Levy's, that was an eating establishment, wasn't such a large place. But uh, blacks who wanted to get food from them had to go around to the back, and they would fix a package for them, and give it to them, send it to them out the back door. And uh, so this, was up, this was in '68. And uh, so as a result of that, uh, this Selective Buying Campaign changed the complexion of this thing within a matter of six months.

Rail safety campaign aims to save lives
The Track Tests video shows how Wretch 32 and George the Poet battle to make a split second decision, relying only on their hearing to work out which direction a train is coming from as it travels towards them at 80mph in the dark.
In this instance of course, it's not a real train. The artists stand in a warehouse where a mocked-up railway with a 'spoke' of tracks has been built.
Sound engineers have created a 360 degree surround-sound system to recreate the noise of an approaching train with other distracting noises.
In the test, Wretch and George each stand in the middle of the spoke and, when they are sure which direction the sound is coming from, they select a corresponding button.
Only then do they find out if they are right or wrong and if they selected in enough time.
Rail safety campaign launched
A video campaign aimed at promoting safety on rail lines has been launched by Network Rail.
UK rapper Wretch 32 and spoken word performer George the Poet have put their hearing to the test in a unique experiment as part of the campaign aimed at young men called Track Tests.
Last year 11 people lost their lives after trespassing on the railway in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire with 16-24 year old males making up four out of ten fatalities. Incidents occurred both at stations and along the railway.
A survey for Track Tests reveals that despite most agreeing it's dangerous to trespass on the tracks, a third of people think they would hear a train in time to move out of the way.
IOW motorbike safety course
The Isle of Wight is hosting a motorcycle safety course to prevent an increase in crashes.
The Council's Better Riding course involves theory and practical training aimed at all levels of experience.
In the last three years, 76 motorcyclists have been killed or injured on the Island's roads.
The course helps motorcyclists ride defensively and prepare for hazards on the road.
A variety of techniques will be covered including advanced riding skills, overtaking, braking and filtering as well as basic first aid.
Based at Sandown Fire Station on Thursday evenings.

Warming up for Winter - get your electric blanket tested
Hampshire council is offering people the chance to get their electric blankets checked for safety.
The County Council's Trading Standards Service has teamed up with Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service and local councils to offer the free safety checks at venues across the county in October 2012.
In the last 15 years alone, almost 15,000 blankets have been tested in Hampshire with approximately 45% of these failing the safety checks.
The main problems are that many are old, worn out, have poor wiring, broken controls or offer no protection against over-heating.
Details of when and where the testing will take place can be found on Hampshire's Trading Standards website.
Conservatory built over gas flue
A Kent double glazing company has been fined for safety failiures after building a conservatory over a gas flue.
Family firm Supaglazing, of Strood, was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive for breaching gas safety regulations for the second time.
Dartford Magistrates Court was told that the firm's workers built the conservatory over an existing flue for a boiler at a property on Beavor Road, Allington, Maidstone, so there was no escape route for gases and other combustion products.
A woman who was pregnant and a child were living in the home.
The incident came to light after an engineer visited the house to give an estimate for relocating the flue.
The firm, with outlets in Dartford and Sittingbourne, admitted breaching the gas safety regulations between 23 July and 2 October 2010. It was fined £14,000 and ordered to pay £2,826 in costs.
Plea for safety at sea this summer
Safety fears over river swimming
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service isurging people not to swim in inland waters such as rivers, canals and lakes after three people were rescued from the River Thames in Windsor during the early hours of this morning.
Jess James, Station Manager at Caversham explains:
"It's important to be aware that while the surface of the water may feel fairly warm, the rest of it is still very cold. This can make your muscles tire out very quickly and can cause cold shock. Drinking alcohol can make things even worse.
"It's difficult to judge the depth of the water - jumping or diving can cause serious injuries or even death.
" Discarded shopping trolleys and rubbish such as broken glass are a real hazard, as are unseen currents and reeds, which can affect even the strongest swimmers."
