SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs. CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.com.au ...
Dr Glenn Pratt. There, I fixed it.
I think instead of hanging lights on my house I'm just going to hang some scientists instead. They are cheaper, and less scientists in the world should alleviate this global warming nonsense.
I hate LED Christmas lights. They're too harsh and bright. I hate fluorescent lights outside of industrial or office applications. Not going to do it.
I am very PROUD that on one of my Christmas trees alone I have increased greenhouse gases by at least 1000 bulbs. That's not counting my other tree and exterior lights.
I hope these leftist scientists choke on greenhouse gases created by my lightbulbs.
I think you mean to hang pseudo-scientists, like the ones Gore and Soetoro endorse and hire. Actual scientists don't say stupid things like this.
I'm just using Uncle Fester!
You sir (and or madam) are spot on in your assessment of the cure for the situation. ;-)

What is he, 13 years old?
Just when I thought I had heard it all, along comes this. Beyond that, I'm at a loss for words.
He looks too young to shave.
And, of course, all these scientist are flying back and forth to their various and assorted conferences in private jets. But that doesnt matter, my bad.
Gosh...I bet you'd really hate to have the beams of red and green Klieg lights arcing overhead, wouldn't you?.....:)
**I think instead of hanging lights on my house Im just going to hang some scientists instead.**
And wire each scientist for a CFL Bulb in their MOUTHS. Now, how to make them blink in time to "AWAY in a MANGER"!
Also he says using fire makes the fire gods angry.
I am tired about hearing the words "greenhouse gases".
Since CO2 is required for all vegetative life to survive, isn't it good for the planet to assure that CO2 is available to the plantlife? Maybe we should start a group for plants similar to PETA. After all, reduction of CO2 would be a death knell to our trees and other greenery. I like green plants. Why should I be trying to reduce CO2?
So here's to People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants - PETP!
Beautiful, what a beautiful mental image that is :)
And, of course, I only mean to decorate my house with the "consensus" scientists, and not those who are interested in truth and fact.
When my Mother was alive, she had a separate breaker box for her outside Christmas tree.
Bet they would have love that.
It's snowing again! Need more lights!
I don't regret putting up our Christmas lights. Sometimes I feel like we didn't put up enough.
- and Christmas Cookies cause cancer.
This is a repeat of a post I made earlier today .. fitting ... and I thought you'd LIKE IT.
"""and to all you Atheists, Tomorrow is THURSDAY ...GET TO WORK!! """
***- and Christmas Cookies cause cancer.**
THEY DO NOT ... it's only the SUGAR, the Shortening, and the little SPRINKLES that cause CANCER... NOT the COOKIES!!!
I used the LED's from Target and Home Depot. They were bright and not very reliable. This year I purchased a bunch from a company online , they're a really nice light. They're still LED, C7 size bulbs and weather proof. They remind me and the wife of the bulbs from the 60's.
**They remind me and the wife of the bulbs from the 60s.**
Now, THOSE are Christmas LIGHTS!!!
What is generation source, he doesn't say?
Me too! Merry Christmas!!
(I HATE "Happy Holidays"!)
Beautiful! I like to tell people "Merry Christmas with extra Jesus", and I have noticed that this really bothers some people :)
I hate even more to have government or Al Gore or a bunch of leftist environmental Nazis telling me what kind of Christmas decorations to use. You know? Merry Christmas.
To so called scientists - STFU and DIE. Did these evil men say anything about the Hindu Festival of Lights, Chinese New Year Celebrations, Mardi Gras? Nope, didn't think so.
Junk scientists are a REAL threat to the planet.
Junk scientists are a REAL threat to the planet.
no, only the evil christians are criticized for their beliefs. this is known as religious persecution btw.
Bugger off mate.
Ah... so you decided to go with the dim bulbs after all. ;-)
uh, ok
Dim wit global warming scientists don't like to be outshined by religion.
So are Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, New York, L.A. and nearly every other city in the world. Deal with it idiots.

It's been a little over a month since Tom Delay's conviction was overturned and he's already getting back in the game. According to a recent article in the Dallas Morning News, he says God is calling him to lead a constitutional revival. He referred to his legal battle and sentencing as his "time in the wilderness." And then he remarked how glad he would be to get his concealed carry license back.
I knew the birth control-religious liberty issue was a GOP manufactured controversy when Kelly Ayotte, Republican Senator from New Hampshire, appeared in a press conference on February 9th and proclaimed, "This is not a women's rights issue. This is a religious liberty issue. And it can apply to all faiths."
I don't enjoy writing about the emotionally-charged abortion issue; regardless of the conversation, neither side wins. But with the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a myriad of poisonous articles are making the rounds; articles employing the word "genocide" in comparison to abortion. I feel compelled to respond.
It is still a very long way to the August 2012 Republican National Convention that will be held in Tampa, Florida.
Presumed frontrunner Mitt Romney has lost momentum. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul are still very much in the race. It is amazing what the happenings of just one or two days can do to alter the progression of history.
Rick Perry is on to the next leg of his Presidential Marathon! Rick Perry remains in the Presidential Race!
"Game on!" were the words of greeting from Rick Santorum to his supporters in Iowa as the final vote counts were still coming in.
Rick Santorum has gained significant momentum against Mitt Romney within a very short period of time. The narrow finish between Santorum and Romney now makes them the two viable candidates in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination.

- Concrete shower floor
Concrete shower floor
I am rebuilding the shower stall in our master bathroom and need some advice for pouring and curing a concrete shower floor.
I used a 40 mil pvc membrane to form a pan and poured the shower floor using "sackrete".
Seven days later( this morning), I ran my hand over the concrete to check and see if the floor was dry and had cured enough to continue work. However, when I rub the floor.....the cement (dust) seems to come up out of the floor.Is that normal? I am afraid to continue work--- since this shower is up stairs and over my dining room--
I want to be certain the floor is good. My intent is to apply ceramic tile over the concrete but I am not sure it is safe to continue.
Did I use the correct product for a poured concrete shower floor ? The aggregate in the "sackrete" seemed to be a large size for a smooth floor. Can I use a premix mortar ?
Can I use a concrete sealer (water proofing) like "damtite" over the cured concrete- to ensure no leaks thru the concrete to the 40 mil pvc membrane? Will the grout (for ceramic tile) stick to the sealer?
I appreciate any help and advice you can offer.
[email protected]
I'm not a concrete expert but have built many shower bases like your project (they are the best)- so I'll try to help.
Can't understand the concrete problem after seven days - should certainly be cured enough by now. Did you "play" with it too long? If so, the cement content of the mix may have come to the surface and can in fact be "dusted off". The base is probably ok but if you are doubtful about the finish (is it too "rough"?) you can use regular mortar mix to smooth it out. It has been proven that when applying a thin smoothing coat over existing concrete, a coating of "white glue" helps to bond the new mix to the old.
As for the sealer, I never use this, at least at this stage. I think that with your PVC membrane, concrete, ceramic tile and grout, the chance of water seepage is probably non-existant. However, as a belt and braces precaution, I usually give the finished base a good coat of silicon sealer (available in stores for this specific purpose).
Incidentally, although they are not as readilly available these days for some reason, I like to use 1"x1" mosiac tiles - they "mold" to the base contours very well.
Hope this helps and good luck. Alan

Discussion in 'Vs. Debates' started by Richard Rider, Mar 14, 2013.
Fight takes place in an empy universe:
Who wins?
not the universe
Unfortunately for Satan the Tribunal can both create and manipulate, Lucifer can only do the latter.
Lucifer can create. His only limit is he has to have something to shape.
Highest showing for both? Lucifer holds the Demiurge power from Michael.
He is still not as strong as his creator but is still second. Tribunal wrestled Dormammu.
Money's on morningstar.
Isn't the Tribunal second only to his creator? And his creator has no superior?
On the same token isn't the Tribunal's creator equal to Lucifer's creator?
Isn't Lucifer equal to his brother? Aren't both significantly weaker then their creator?
I take it the Tribunal wins?
Michael and Lucifer are second only to Yawheh/The Presence. The Living Tribunal is second only to The One Above All.
Michael/Lucifer are equals with differences in what they are do.
Michael is the power/Lucifer is the Will.
Though it's stated that still Lucifer is the second most powerful being In creation behind the Presence and a will that is unbending.
You mean his highest feat is not being a threat to the Infinity Gauntlet? Which could blink Dormammu out of existance?
The Warlock/Tribunal fight never happened because the conflict would lay waste to the entire Marvel 616 reality as a side effect.
So yeah, your "highest showing" thing is a bit skewed.
Adam Warlock : "How?"
Living Tribunal : "I represent a power that dwarfs even yours."
As well:
Living Tribunal: "Such a confrontation would lay waste to this reality. Is that what you wish? Is that to type of God you are?"
Tribunal may dwarf morningstar in every possible way. But I'm still voting for the ex-angel.
I hope you didin't take it to mean that morning star was going to win a slug fest.
Obviously he loses that...... But this guy can probably outplan thanos and never loses his will(sabotage's omnipotence). He's a winner in my book.
Highest showing for Lucifer has him with both his own power and Michaels power. At that point he's basically Big G god as he has both the Power and the Will, along with the ablities to both Create and Shape. They're both directly under the equivilent of "God". I'd wager neither of them fight the other, because they both know there is no point to it.
They both sit down and have a philosophical discussion about godhood, duty, predestination and freedom of choice.
Wat? No, TOAA IS the author. As such, he can do anything. He is omnipotent in universe. As such, he cannot be defeated.
TOAA = the Presence
They are one in the same.
... No? You remember how God is better than Michael? TOAA is God and the author of the comic. And the LT? Think of him as the author's eraser.
Besides, DC statements only apply to their property. Michael can conquer ever universe in DC's creation. (He really really can't.)
But can TOAA/LT create a rock so massive that even they cannot lift it?
Yes. And then, being omnipotent, they can go ahead and lift it anyhow. Because being omnipotent means being able to say that Logic = Fish.
You can't answer yes and still be omnipotent.
Yes you can.
By virtue of being Omnipotent silly things like paradox's cannot constrain them, if they could they wouldn't be omnipotent's. Logic cannot apply to such a being because logic would then be a constraint on its actions, a True Omnipotent is above the constants your putting forward, they wrote them for everyone else to follow, not themselves. It doesn't have to make sense when the entire concept is SUPPOSE to be beyond human comprehension.
So those two angels can force a fanfiction writer to make it so that they'll win a bout like this?
Now your just wanking stupidly and ignorantly like some people were doing on the Manga vs Comics thread. Any setting with a true Omnipotent creator like The Presence, The One Above All, The Root, or The Lord of Nightmares would crush the two of them, because omnipotents essentially means Authorial Fiat, they can do what ever the hell they want because they wrote it. It doesn't have to make sense and it does not have to be logical. The Living Tribunal is said Authorial Fiat's eraser. What your saying would be the equivalent of the author in the real world trying to erase a character and that character saying "nuh uh" getting out of the page and ignoring the author. Any character that is not explicitly said to be Omnipotent stands no chance against a character that is. That's what it means to be bloody Omnipotent.
Seriously, stop embaressing yourself.
Seriously, I can't understand a word of that. Maybe if it weren't so covered in wank.
Nonsense, the purpose of Science Fiction is to entertain the writer and/or the audience, nothing more, nothing less. There are plenty of science fiction verses that break the 4th wall, TOAA is hardly unique in regards to that.

Cloud Computing For Mobile Users: Can Offloading Computation Save Energy
The cloud heralds a new era of computing where application services are provided through the Internet. Cloud computing can enhance the computing capability of mobile systems, but is it the ultimate solution for extending such systems' battery lifetimes? Cloud computing1 is a new paradigm in which computing resources such as processing, memory, and storage are not physically present at the user's location. Instead, a service provider owns and manages these resources, and users access them via the Internet. For example, Amazon Web Services lets users store personal data via its Simple Storage Service (S3) and perform computations on stored data using the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). This type of computing provides many advantages for businesses—including low initial capital investment, shorter start-up time for new services, lower maintenance and operation costs, higher utilization through virtualization, and easier disaster recovery that make cloud computing an attractive option. Reports suggest that there are several benefits in shifting computing from the desktop to the cloud.1,2 What about cloud computing for mobile users? The primary constraints for mobile computing are limited energy and wireless bandwidth. Cloud computing can provide energy savings as a service to mobile users, though it also poses some unique challenges.
Energy efficiency is a fundamental consideration for mobile devices. Cloud computing has the potential to save mobile client energy but the savings from offloading the computation need to exceed the energy cost of the additional communication. Existing studies thus focus on determining whether to offload computation by predicting the relationships among these three factors. The computation offloading depends on the wireless bandwidth B, the amount of computation to be performed C, and the amount of data to be transmitted D.
A service provider owns and manages resources (such as processing, memory, storage), and users access them via the Internet.
For example, Amazon Web Services
Simple Storage Service (S3): let users store personal data
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): perform computations on stored data
- There are several benefits in shifting computing from the desktop to the cloud.
- The primary constraints for mobile computing are limited energy and wireless bandwidth.
- Low initial capital investment
- Shorter start-up time for new services
- Lower maintenance and operation costs
- Higher utilization through virtualization
- Easier disaster recovery
Number of Modules
After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:
1. Saving Energy For Mobile Systems Module.
2. Offloading Computation To Save Energy Module.
3. Making Computation Offloading More Attractive Module.
4. Challenges And Possible Solution Module.
1. Saving energy For Mobile System Module:
Mobile systems
- Various studies have identified longer battery lifetime as the most desired feature of such systems.
- Many applications are too computation intensive to perform on a mobile system. If a mobile user wants to use such applications, the computation must be performed in the cloud.
- Other applications can run on a mobile system. However, they consume significant amounts of energy, such as Image retrieval, voice recognition, gaming, and navigation.
- Eliminate computation all together
- The mobile system does not perform the computation.
Instead, computation is performed somewhere else.
2. Offloading Computation To Save Energy Module:
- Client-server computing: service providers managing programs running on servers
- Cloud computing: Allows cloud vendors to run arbitrary applications from different customers on virtual machines.
- Cloud vendors thus provide computing cycles, and users can use these cycles to reduce the amounts of computation on mobile systems and save energy.
- Cloud computing can save energy for mobile users through computation offloading
- Virtualization: Lets applications from different customers run on different virtual machines, thereby providing separation and protection.
- Energy analysis for computation offloading:
3. Making Computation Offloading More Attractive Module:
- Energy saved by computation offloading through wireless bandwidth, amount of computation to be performed, amount of data to be transmitted.
- Client-Server Model: Because the server does not already contain the data, all the data must be sent to the service provider.
- Cloud Computing: The cloud stores data and performs computation on it. Google's Picasa, Amazon S3, Amazon EC2.
4. Challenges And Possible Solution Module:
- Privacy and Security
- Because the data is stored and managed in the cloud, security and privacy settings depend on the IT (information technology) management of the cloud provides.
- Some types of data cannot be stored in the cloud without considering these privacy and security implications.
- One possible solution is to encrypt data before storage
- Reliability
- A mobile user performing computation in the cloud depends on the wireless network and cloud service.
- Real Time data

Froehlich Disputes Totten's Claim of Ryan Endorsement
Wallace, Diana, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Diana Wallace Daily Herald Staff Writer
Schaumburg Township GOP Committeeman candidate Paul Froehlich is accusing incumbent Don Totten of lying about his endorsements in a "desperate" attempt to hold on to that office.
The latest flap over Totten's questionable endorsements in the race for Republican Organization of Schaumburg Township revolves around his claim this week that he had been endorsed by Secretary of State George Ryan. Ryan spokesman Dave Urbanek said Friday that, though Ryan and Totten are longtime friends, Ryan was not endorsing any candidates in the primary election township committeemen races.
"It appears Mr. Totten has an obvious pattern of claiming false endorsements," Froehlich said in a statement Friday. "It appears Mr. Totten is very desperate to hang on to his job."
Urbanek did not dispute Ryan said complimentary things to Totten about his running of the Schaumburg Township party organization. Totten has held the committeeman's post for 32 years.
Totten said Friday Ryan gave him his endorsement in a telephone conversation Thursday and agreed to allow Totten to quote him in a press release sent to the media later that day.
That quote read: "The voters of Schaumburg Township are fortunate to be able to turn to Don Totten. He leads one of the best party organizations in the state. …

Business need
With more than 8,000 subscription orders and marketing cards arriving daily, keeping pace with the data-entry burden was a formidable challenge. Data-entry had to be done manually, slowing the process.
To automate its data-entry functions, Dow Jones uses both standard rules provided by IBM Datacap, integrated with IBM FileNet Image Services, as well as custom rules developed to meet its own demanding requirements.
Cut in half subscription turnaround time from 48 hours to under a day; increased customer satisfaction; 5 employees reallocated to new responsibilities; more timely marketing decisions.

When braking, I hear a clunking noise. If I am going over 40 mph, it will make the noise when I get to 30 mph. If going between 25 and 30, it will do it when I get to 20 mph. It is consistant and does it every single time. Any idea what this might be?

May 30 - All libraries will be closed for Memorial Day.
We hope you were able to attend our special program featuring renowned author and physical activity specialist, Rae Pica, on October 14. Whether or not you were there, now it's time to put her suggestions into play. Literally!
Rae Pica shared with us how parents, families, teachers, caregivers and childcare providers can help our kids be ready to read by understanding the relationship between physical activity and the brain, the value of play, and how to use movement, play and active learning to nurture a child's ability to learn to read and think.
To keep things moving, we're hosting Movin' & Groovin' Fests in the coming weeks. Learn how to make fun movement/play objects from everyday materials. It's a wonderful way to help you baby, toddler and preschool get ready to read.
Bring the kids and join the fun at one of our Movin' & Groovin' Fests. You'll realize why Rae Pica believes, that children "...don't exist only from the neck up. They are thinking, feeling, moving human beings who learn through all their senses."
Unless otherwise noted, Fests are held from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Saturday, October 17: Golden and Lakewood

Leaf through a leaflet. Take the Citizen's Guide compiled by the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County. The bottom line is, we encourage you to learn more about the election so you can make an informed decision.
The sign on our election information table includes the following excerpt:
Opinions expressed in the literature on this table do not represent the views of, and are not endorsed by, Jefferson County Public Library.
That said, we certainly DO endorse expressing opinions; and, most importantly, voting!

The climb up Highway 9 is said to be 7 miles, but where exactly does it start?
The climb up Highway 9 is said to be 7 miles, but where exactly does it start?
It's about 7.5 miles from the Saratoga-Los Gatos intersection, and there aren't any stop signs or traffic lights from there until the top. Is that good enough?Originally Posted by Ritterview
For me, though, it starts at the intersection with Highway 236 in Boulder Creek, though the real climbing doesn't start until Saratoga Toll Road. That didn't have any stop signs until the top until sometime last fall when the stop signs at the intersection with upper Highway 236 were installed.
Bleh, yeah, Hwy 9 start is kind of fuzzy. A lot of people say it starts at the Pierce Rd. intersection, because many people come over Pierce to avoid the traffic in town. But, it's more like 6.5 miles from there. And of course there are those who take Redwood Gulch to avoid the Pierce Rd. traffic (3.2 miles from there I think).
If you like to climb, and like to do Hwy 9, what I like to do is go to the top and turn left on Skyline and go up to Castle Rock. It's not much further but it adds some more climbing and then you get a nice, long, sometimes rippin' descent
Well, I've been Googling, and came up with this:
Highway 9 (E)
distance: 6.5 miles
climbing: 2090 feet
start/finish: left curve at downtown saratoga to stop sign at 35
Description: Highway 9 has a fairly consistent grade between 6-7%. It features long straightaways in the beginning and some wide hairpin turns near the end. There is s shoulder to ride on but it the road is highly trafficked in afternoon commute hours and weekends.
I think that would put the start as depicted below, at which I believe there is a large left turn arrow. That is where I started last week, which turned out to be 6.5 miles.
Please disregard the map in my last post. It is wrong. The "left curve at downtown saratoga" is depicted here:
At the end of downtown there is a left turn sign:
And around the left turn corner a sign marking Winding Road Next 7 Miles.
From the "7 mile" sign, my odometer read 6.85 miles to the stop sign at the intersection of 35.
^^ It's hard to say that the "climb" starts there...you can see from the pic that it's downhill right there, and that continues down for another 50 yds past the apex of that turn before it actually starts (very gently) climbing. And there's another little dip right before the bridge, a little further up the road.
Anyway, it's not that big of a deal...make the start wherever you want it to be!
Obviously true. However, it is useful to have a benchmark for comparison between riders, and for one rider between different climbs. For example, I climbed the 6.85 miles from the "7 mile" sign in 43 min and 25 sec. last Sunday. This Sunday, I am going to do the Mount Diablo Challenge, in hopes of earning a coveted "One Hour" T-Shirt. Do I have a chance? Don't know, except to compare the times up Highway 9 of those whose times on the Mt. Diablo challenge are known. You can't compare times up Highway 9 if the starting point differs or is vague.make the start wherever you want it to be!
I follow what you're saying, but if you're going to benchmark, use something that other people also use as a benchmark, like Montebello (start at the stop sign at the bottom, end at the gate at the top), or Old La Honda (bridge to stop sign). Not too many people I know use Hwy 9 as a benchmark.Originally Posted by Ritterview

Skid-Steer Safety for Farm and Landscape
Skid steers are compact, powerful, and versatile machines because they can fit into a small space and complete various types of jobs in a farm operation. Due to their design, they are small enough to scoop out animal wastes, lift a tree into a landscape site, and quickly move payloads of rock, feed, manure, or building materials. Their numerous attachments make the skid steer as valuable as any farm or utility tractor. The usefulness of skid steers for agricultural and landscape operation is hard to overstate but they are not without their limitations. The skill and knowledge required for safe operation is often misunderstood and underestimated.
This fact sheet addresses the safe use of the skid steer loader as used in agricultural or landscape operations. Hazards associated with skid steers, keeping the skid-steer in safe operating condition, and operator safety considerations are discussed. Since skid steers are often used by employees, how OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations apply to skid steers used in agricultural and landscape businesses is also reviewed.
Skid-Steer Hazards
The major hazards of skid steer use include being: runover by the machine; caught in an attachment; crushed between machine parts; trapped by loads that roll or drop into the operator station, and pinned by rollover or tipping of the machine. A runover can occur when: an operator falls from the skid steer while operating it; workers on the ground near the skid steer move out of the sight line of the operator; the operator carries riders in the skid steer bucket and they fall; or bystanders wander into the work area and are not seen by the operator. Statistics show that these riders and bystanders are often young children, but can also be co-workers or other helpers who have duties near the work area.
Entrapment injury can occur when the operator or helper attempts to maneuver controls and levers from outside the skid steer's protective frame, or from miscommunication between the operator and the helper. Hands and arms have been mangled or amputated after being crushed between the lift arms of the skid steer and the frame of the machine. Feet and legs have been crushed between the skid steer and accessories such as buckets or tree augers attached to the lift arms. Working beneath a raised skid steer bucket has led to entrapment which may result in a fatal crush injury.
Loads may roll back into the operator station if the skid steer is being used to pick up material that is bulky and does not fit in the bucket adequately or is not properly secured. The skid steer's protective frame offers some protection from the hazard of larger objects that do not break apart, but smaller objects, such as feed containers, landscape stones or brick pavers, may enter the operator station and injure the operator.
A skid steer can tip forward from excessive weight in the bucket or from a heavy attachment if it is in a raised position. A forward tip can throw the operator out of the protective cab if the seat restraint is not used, allowing the skid-steer to runover the operator or the operator to be crushed by the skid steer bucket and/or load. Skid steers should have ignition interlocks that prevent operation of the machine if the seat belt is not buckled or the restraint bar is not in place. Operators sometimes disable these safety devices and expose themselves to serious injury or death from a tipping incident. A rollover can occur anytime the machine is being operated on steep slopes or uneven terrain. Skid steers can be unstable when combined with a heavy load in the loader bucket raised high.
Skid steers are often used to scrape animal manure. Concrete floors and ramps, and skid steer tires, can become worn over time and result in less traction during skid steer operations. It may be hard to stop the skid steer on slippery manure push-off ramps, especially if the operator is operating the skid steer at high speed because he or she is in a hurry. Quick starts and stops with a loaded bucket can result in toppling the machine forward over manure storage fences, guardrails, ramp stops, or embankments.
Other hazards can also lead to injury or death. Improper mounting and dismounting of the skid steer can result in serious slips and falls. Overtaxed hydraulic systems may develop high pressure leaks and fail within close proximity to the operator, which may result in an injection of hydraulic oil into a person's body. Injection of hydraulic oil can result in an amputation of a limb if not treated quickly and properly. Hooking and unhooking attachments may result in severe crushing or pinching injuries to hands and fingers.
Skid-Steer Machines and Stability
The skid steer's center of gravity is constantly shifting as the machine is used. Sitting on a level surface, two-thirds of the skid steer's weight is in the rear section of the machine and low to the ground at the rear axle. Lifting a load transfers weight to the front axle: the higher the load the higher the skid steer's center of gravity. Excessive weight in the bucket (stone or feed) or attachments (rock hound or tree pincher) can tilt the machine forward. Loads must be carried low to keep the center of gravity low. At the same time, do not carry the load so low that the bucket or attachment digs into or hits obstacles or curbing. Know the manufacturers weight limit and do not exceed this limit.
Moving a skid-steer over uneven ground is often necessary. Rules governing the machine's center of gravity should be remembered and practiced. Keep the heavy part of the machine and load pointed uphill. If traveling with no load, keep the back end of the machine pointed uphill (go downhill frontward; go uphill in reverse). If traveling with a load, keep the load pointed uphill (back down the hill; travel forward up the hill).
ROPS, FOPS, Side-Screens and
Operator Restraints
A skid steer without a rollover protective structure (ROPS), a falling object protective structure (FOPS), side screens and an operator restraint invites injury and death. The ROPS provides protection against being crushed by the machine should it overturn. The FOPS provides overhead protection against tree limbs, overhead hazards (e.g., construction sites), and loads that may fall from the loader bucket. Side-screens eliminate the risk of the operator reaching out of the cab, or co-workers and bystanders reaching into the cab, and becoming caught between lift arms and the skid steer frame.
A seat belt or seat-bar restraint helps keep the operator in the skid steer seat and in control of the machine. A sudden pitch forward of the machine can throw the operator out of the cab. In the event of an overturn the operator will stay secured inside the cab. ROPS, FOPS, side-screens and seat restraints have been offered as standard equipment on skid steers for many years. These safety features work together to provide a "zone of protection" for the operator. Newer skid steer machines should have an escape hatch in the roof or rear window: be sure the escape hatch is operational, but do not remove it unless in an emergency. If your machine does not have all these devices, talk to a dealer about retrofitting or upgrading your machine.
Interlocks and Attachment Locks
Interlock devices may refer to electrical (ignition) or hydraulic system locks tied into the operator restraint system or to mechanical locks of the lift arms. An operator restraint interlock system will prevent the engine from being started or hydraulic controls from being engaged if the operator restraint is not fastened or positioned correctly. Do not disable this interlock and insist that everyone use it.
Hydraulic cylinder lift arm lockout devices may be engaged from inside the operator's cab or may be engaged outside the cab at the hydraulic cylinder. When the boom is in the up position for any repair or maintenance, the lift arm hydraulic cylinder lockout device must be engaged. Countless deaths from crushing have occurred when lift arms were not blocked. Be sure that all operators understand the severity of the risk and know how to engage lockout devices. If the lockout device is not working, fix it.
Attachments to the lift arms must be securely fastened. It is difficult to secure these lock levers from inside the cab. Standing up in the cab and leaning out to lock these attachments increases the risk of falling out and being run over. Shut off the machine, exit it properly, and then secure the locking levers. An assistant can also lock the levers. Be sure to shut down the machine before the assistant moves in to avoid the risk of crushing the helper between the bucket/accessory and the lift arms or skid steer itself. Make sure that an inexperienced helper has been properly trained on how to securely fasten locking levers. A bucket or landscape accessory that is improperly fastened can come loose when it is raised or used, increasing risk to operators and on-ground helpers.
Reverse Signal Alarms/Beacon Lights
Reverse signal alarms and beacon lights may not be standard equipment on all farm or landscape skid steer machines, depending upon age of the machine. Some construction sites and their business contract requirements call for landscapers to have operable skid steer reverse signal alarms and beacon lights. These alarms give notice to on-ground co-workers of the movement of the skid steer. Use these alarms and maintain them to reduce risk of running over and pinning co-workers between the machine and an obstacle. Reverse signal alarms and beacon lights are economical and easy to install. Check with your dealer to learn more about backup alarms and beacon lights.
Hydraulic System Safety
Hydraulic pressure systems pose many hazards that may be overlooked. Hydraulic system pressure often exceeds 2000 pounds per square inch (psi). Pin-hole leaks can develop from hoses even if there is no visible damage. If a leak is suspected, do not use your hand to search for the leak. Injury from injected hydraulic oil will demand immediate emergency medical treatment. If treatment is not obtained, it may result in amputation of the hand or arm. Use a piece of cardboard or mirror to inspect for leaks by passing the material over the suspected leak. Leaks should be fixed immediately. If you are an employee, report suspected leaks to the owner of the machine or your supervisor. Eye protection should be worn while checking for hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic hoses and fittings become very hot and severe burns can result by grabbing these components. Wear gloves or place your hand near the hydraulic part to sense for heat before touching it.
Connecting hydraulic hoses must be done with safety in mind. Be sure hoses are correctly routed to avoid pinching between lift arms and the bucket or attachment to prevent damage.
Landscape accessories (Figure 4) that can pivot (e.g., rock rakes and tree augers) can pinch the hydraulic hose with potential for loss of pressure under load and/or spraying the operator with hot hydraulic oil. Before disconnecting hydraulic hoses, shut down the machine and relieve the system pressure by working the control handle back and forth. High pressure in the system may prevent disconnecting the hoses if it is not relieved.
Personal Protection
Skid steers are often operated in dirty and dusty environments, inside buildings where machine noise reverberates off walls and exhaust fumes become trapped. They may be operated in situations that require manual operations in close proximity to the skid steer. All operators should wear a bump cap or hard hat, steel-toed shoes, long pants and gloves. Depending upon the machine and where and how it is being operated, hearing protection and eye protection should also be worn. Always wear eye protection when checking hydraulic hoses and connections. To protect against a buildup of machine exhaust fumes, open as many doors and windows as possible, use large exhaust fans, and shut off the machine and take frequent breaks outside the building. These recommendations are especially important if there is a strong smell of exhaust fumes in the air.
OSHA Regulations
Current OSHA standards and regulations for agriculture and landscaping do not specifically address skid steers. However, OSHA regulations require employers to protect hired workers from several hazards associated with operating and maintaining machinery, and from generally recognized hazards. Therefore common safe use issues that must be addressed in agricultural and landscape situations include the following: ROPS and FOPS, guarding of pinch points and crush points, operator restraint, hydraulic cylinder lockout, warning signs, handholds and steps, and training requirements, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
OSHA is restricted from expending funds to enforce standards in agricultural operations and other small businesses that have 10 or fewer employees, but this restriction does not exclude agricultural or small businesses from OSHA regulations. The distinction between not being able to enforce regulations while still being subject to the regulations is important because of what is called OSHA's "general duty clause." The general duty clause is applicable to employers even if they have only one employee. This clause imposes a duty on the employer to provide a place of employment free of recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious injury even if no specific standard is applicable.
To prove a general duty clause violation, OSHA must show that the hazard in question is: a) foreseeable in the workplace; b) recognized by the employer or industry; c) likely to cause death or serious injury; and d) feasible to correct. The hazards of skid-steer operation and methods for preventing and controlling these hazards are well known and feasible. Ignoring these hazards could result in significant penalties for an employer should an employee become injured while operating the skid-steer. Additionally, because these hazards and their prevention are well recognized, an injury resulting from ignoring the hazard exposes the employer to civil suits by the injured party, their family or their insurance company.
Operating the Skid-Steer
In addition to the hazards and issues discussed, there are many more suggestions relating to operator actions and behaviors important to safe skid steer operation. Operator error often overshadows machine safety design. Following these operating suggestions will significantly reduce hazards and risk associated with skid steer uses:
- No riders anywhere: not in the bucket (Figure 5) and not in the operator's lap (e.g. toddlers)
- Learn the blind spots of operation: bystanders (especially children) can be in blind spots. Valuable property (e.g., buildings, equipment) may also be in blind spots and can be destroyed when hit by the skid steer.
- Never swing, lift, or move a load over a person.
- Position yourself to avoid bumping control levers.
- Wear snug fitting clothing that will not catch on levers.
- Develop knowledge of standard hand signals for communications.
- Learn to smoothly operate the skid steer's moving, steering, and lift controls.
- Know the materials you are loading. Objects like large stones can fall out of the bucket into the operator's cab when the bucket is rolled back too far.
- Use the 3-point method to enter and exit the skid-steer: two hands and one foot or one hand and two feet are in contact with the machine at all times. Always use foot pads and hand holds. Side entrance skid steer machines improve accessibility for the operator because they do not have to climb over attachments.
- Drugs, alcohol, and even medications can impair the operator's ability to react. Heed warnings of medications that restrict the operation of machinery for the prescribed period of time.
- Use tie-down attachments to secure the skid steer when transporting it on a trailer.
- When finished with the skid steer, lower the bucket to the ground to park safely.
- Avoid operating on slopes, ditches, and embankments when possible.
- Scope out the work area for obstacles to smooth operation.
- Observe whether overhead utility wires are near the work area.
- Know the location of underground utilities if you are digging into the ground.
- Avoid working with any type of pile or embankment that is higher than the operator's station or that could result in being buried in place should the pile or embankment collapse (e.g., undercutting large silage piles or high embankments).
By following the suggestions offered in this fact sheet and in your skid-steer owner's manual serious injury and death from skid-steer operations can be avoided. Readers can find additional safety references and training materials by visiting the web sites of the Farm and Ranch eXtension in Safety and Health (FRESH) and the Association of Equipment Manufacturer's, or by contacting skid-steer dealers and manufacturers. Spanish language versions of safety references and training materials are available from both FRESH and AEM.

Ok so I wanted to try this out and I kept trying it her way and I just couldn't get it. So I decided to try it a different way. I want to appologize if this has already been explained, or this is the way everyone does it already??? And I want to say a big thank you to Rachel for helping us all out with her secrets!!! Hopefully maybe these photo's can help out those that are struggling with the no seam way? And yes there is a seam showing on these but the seam is not in the inner pul.
Ok so for step 1 (no picture because I didn't decide to take pics till i already started) I printed out my pattern, then measured in 1" in the area I wanted the pul to be then cut that out. So the pattern I have now cut out is for my cotton woven.
Step 2 I folded over the edges of the fabric and pressed them
Step 3, I pinned that peice of fabric to a scrap peice of orange pul with the knit side up just like it's going to look when finished. Then I did a topstich over the cotton woven close to the edge onto the orange pul
ok so after it has been stiched (sorry forgot to take a photo of it after being topstiched) I laid my normal size peice pattern back down and lined it up and cut around the curved area
Ok here it is after I cut the excess pul in the leg area, you can kinnda see my topstiching.
Ok next step, add your snaps, mine are backed with pul this time since I ran out of white seude cloth
Oh also once you cut the pul to size make sure you trim any excess on the other side where the seam is...you can see my seam on the backside that I trimmed it down
ok add your layers, I did a hidden white layer of pul, and then black seude cloth inner, here it is all stiched together (pul on bottom, cottonwoven peice in middle, seudecloth on top)
here is the backside so you can see there is no cotton woven sewn into the hidden layer at all
ok add your elastic if your prefer to do it this way, otherwise use your elastic method of choice (FYI next time I do a diaper like this I will not add the elastic till I have turned it right side out, because of the extra layer of pul in the leg area it made it hard to stretch my elastic tight enough)
Ok top stich your diaper, and add your wing snaps and pat yourself on the back!

Finding His Fingers
My hospital stay with my second baby was a bit hectic with visitors, the hospital staff and visits from my older son, so I cherished the quiet mornings my baby and I had to ourselves. On our third day, my newest one discovered his fingers! Luckily I had my camera in my hand at just the right minute!

Madina Group
Madina is the group leader (she is located in the center of the group, wearing a black and yellow wrap with her face showing.) This group is called by her name. She is aged 57, married, and the mother of seven adult children. Her business is selling clothes, which has been her sole source of income for over ten years. She began this activity as a result of the lack of a clothes market in her neighborhood.
She is very grateful to her neighbors who supported her over all these years. With the income from her business she has been able to upgrade her home and enjoy more comfort.
At the present time, her business doesn't get her a lot of profit due to the bad situation in Yemen. So she applied for the loan of 50,000 YER from AMB to acquire articles of clothing such as dresses, shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, etc. to sell to her customers thus giving her the opportunity to improve her income from her business.
In the future she would like to buy a house with a store in it in order to expand her activity.
Additional Information
About Al-Amal Microfinance BankAl-Amal reaches out to low-income micro-entrepreneurs and small business owners in Yemen with a suite of credit, savings, and insurance products tailored for Muslim borrowers. Before lending through Al-Amal, please consider the following:
1) Due to ongoing security concerns, full due-diligence of Al-Amal was conducted remotely rather than on-site. This makes Al-Amal atypical among Kiva's Field Partners, as Kiva staff have not conducted an on-site assessment. Al-Amal's assessment included in-person meetings with the top management in other, more secure locations in the Middle East.
2) Because Yemen is a new and unstable environment, there is a possibility that future loan repayments could be held indefinitely in the country for regulatory reasons, even if individual borrowers pay back their loans. As a lender to borrowers in Yemen, you accept this additional risk.
Additionally, all of Al-Amal's products are Sharia compliant and customized for its Muslim clients. Most of the loans are structured as Murabaha interest free loans. Al-Amal purchases goods for its borrowers and charges them a markup or fee. Al-Amal is also experimenting with Ijarah loans (an Islamic leasing product). For more information on Islamic microfinance, please click here.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Valdosta, GA - With a budget of around $88 million for 2015, the Finance Director for Valdosta City Schools says they are happy to not only have balanced budget, but also to BE adding 8 new openings for teachers.
"There's no millage increase, we have no furlough days, our kids will have 180 days of instruction', says Bob Jones.
A balanced budget means that taxes won't go up, says Jones. Teachers won't be laid off, and the school system will be able to go ahead with maintenance and building projects for local schools.
The school system says a major project on next year's budget is the new athletic complex and gym at Newbern Middle School.
Dr. Dan Altman, Principal at Newbern Middle, says it's an exciting time at the school. He says the new buildings and no furloughs will boost morale, and new positions mean smaller class sizes for students.
"We are increasing academic achievement with our students and the 180 days of instruction goes well along to do that for our kids", he says.
Jones also says the number of students attending Valdosta City Schools grew last year, and is expected to grow again this year.
In Tuesday's board meeting, Valdosta City Schools approved a timeline for the construction of the new Valdosta High School.

So, why did Celestia invite Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to her tea party?
I love that they reused that hat mold. I wish they would put out an accessory set with a bunch of hats and whatnot It's an adorable set, but I HAVE all those ponies
